Chapter 40 Is his treatment of you... as good as mine? "What do you plan to do..."
After Qingwen finished speaking, she gave a cold laugh before leaving. Xiren stood there for a while, her face flushed and pale, muttering, "This Qingwen—" She can't be allowed to stay.
"Xiren." Musk Moon called from outside. Xiren quickly responded, but as soon as she went out, Musk Moon pulled her back in: "Wait a minute, you don't look well. Don't let Master Bao and the young ladies see you."
Xi Ren breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thanks to you."
Musk Moon asked sympathetically, "Did Qingwen scold you again? I've felt that she's been acting strangely lately. What did you do to offend her?"
"How could it be that I offended her?" Xiren retorted. "Look around the courtyard, have I ever argued with anyone? Have I ever scolded anyone?"
Musk Moon sighed, "I misunderstood. Last time, Qingwen stabbed Zhui'er's hand so badly that the wound was so deep and blood was everywhere. It's bound to leave a scar. Sigh... She's so ruthless, and she's the old lady's person. Second Master also likes her, and recently she's hooked up with Miss Lin. You should be careful. If you can't afford to offend her, can't you at least avoid her?"
After she finished speaking, she patted Xiren's arm and comforted her, "I'll go and cover for you for a while. Look in the mirror and come and serve me as soon as your face is smooth."
Xiren, however, did not think so. What did the two taels of silver a month mean when Madam Wang entrusted Bao Erye to her care? With Madam Wang's approval, she could no longer be considered a maid.
Qingwen only received one tael of silver; what right did Qingwen have to humiliate her? She didn't deserve it!
In the Great Buddha Hall, Zijuan replaced the charcoal in the stove, and Lin Daiyu carried her onto the carriage.
The clattering of the carriage and its rhythmic swaying gradually calmed her emotions.
After calming down a bit, she realized she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask: "Third Brother."
Lin Daiyu lifted a corner of the curtain and saw that her third brother had somehow managed to turn the horse, which was taller than a person, around and walk to the carriage.
The horse's legs were much longer than the horse pulling the cart, but they walked side by side, neither going faster than the other.
"You called me here just to see my horse...legs?"
"Not really." Lin Daiyu smiled shyly, then said, "I wanted to ask you... cough, I don't know what to ask. It's cold on the way, let's talk about it later."
Mu Chuan wasn't annoyed. He didn't like people speaking in a roundabout way. One of the things he did as a general was to let his subordinates speak their minds, especially when reporting on work. They shouldn't be mysterious or beat around the bush.
But when his daughter Daiyu acted coy, she was quite shy and coy, which he liked very much.
As expected, human nature is to have double standards.
Mu Chuan then said a few more words: "The environment of the Great Buddha Hall is quite nice. If you like it, we can come again next time. If we go back any later today, the city gates will be blocked. With the New Year approaching, there will be many people entering and leaving the city. We can enter and leave through Anding Gate, which is a little better. But through Chongwen Gate, the line stretches from the opening of the city gate to the closing of the city gate."
Lin Daiyu then asked, "Even if Third Brother is the Marquis of Zhongyong, it won't work?"
"It's completely blocked. Am I supposed to carry you and fly over, or lift you up and step on their heads to get past?"
"Third Brother can't fly?" Lin Daiyu laughed again.
Mu Chuan sighed: "Yes, I've disappointed you. I could have used my knife to clear the way, but it's not worth it for such a small thing. Sigh... You're a young lady, yet you have such a strong desire to kill. Just now you even asked me to beat up the guest monk in front of Buddha."
Although there weren't many people around, Lin Daiyu only showed half of her face through the curtain, and Mu Chuan could see the smile in her bright eyes before the curtain was drawn wider.
Lin Daiyu handed over her fluffy hand warmer: "Third Brother, be careful your hands don't get cold."
Mu Chuan didn't refuse. Although it was fluffy, anything with the "macho man" prefix suited him perfectly.
For example, male fans.
Although Mu Chuan warned of potential traffic jams, his horse and his men were unique in the capital.
In addition, he was to become the General of the Northern Camp after the New Year. Although Andingmen was under the jurisdiction of the Central Camp, everyone was from one of the five major camps of the Beijing Garrison. When the lookouts on the city gate saw him coming, they hurriedly ordered people to go down and clear the road.
We entered the city gate smoothly and arrived at the Dianchi Guild Hall smoothly.
The style of Dianchi Guild Hall is quite different from that of Wuyue Guild Hall.
Perhaps because there were many officials in the Wu and Yue regions, the Wu and Yue Guild Hall emphasized restraint and appeared unremarkable from the outside.
The Dianchi Guild Hall is in the stage of establishing its brand, and its style is already quite distinctive.
The entire building was covered with bamboo. Inside the courtyard were individual bamboo houses, built on pillars. The bottom part, about half a meter high, consisted only of bamboo pillars, with the actual rooms on top.
The flowers, plants, and trees planted in the yard are mostly bamboo.
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "I quite like bamboo."
The waiter who led the way said, "We also have many exquisite bamboo artifacts here. Would you like to take a look?"
As for being hungry... she wasn't hungry at the moment. She had traveled by carriage both ways, and had only taken a short walk in the back mountains. Lin Daiyu looked up at Mu Chuan.
Mu Chuan nodded and said, "Let's go take a look."
The waiter then led them to the largest room in the very center.
When opening a shop in the capital, it is important to have a unique feature. As soon as Mu Chuan entered, he saw a traditional silver wedding dress, especially the huge headdress, which looked very heavy.
Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up. She tugged at Mu Chuan's sleeve and whispered, "I want this."
It's not impossible, although... oh, that's not what she meant.
"Do you have any smaller ones?" Mu Chuan asked.
The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, we do. This way, please."
Further on the display stand, there were much smaller silver ornaments. In addition, there were several dolls on display nearby.
The shopkeeper continued, "A few years ago, a blond-haired, green-eyed foreigner came and ordered a lot of things, including dolls, to present to His Majesty. Later, word spread, and it became quite fashionable in the capital for a while. Our shop also started making some, mainly silver ornaments."
In addition to jewelry, there are also small silver teapots, exquisite jewelry boxes, and simple canopy beds.
"We've added our exclusive process, so it doesn't tarnish as easily as regular silver. If it gets dull, you can bring it in and we'll polish it for you."
Those who can afford to come to places like this are all high-ranking officials and wealthy people, so the staff aren't afraid of losing business. Besides, those who can afford to watch this kind of entertainment usually buy several sets at a time.
"The Muyunju next door is a small furniture shop made of wood, and further on there is a porcelain shop with lovely enamel plates and bowls."
"Tell them to prepare things and call them over after they've eaten."
The man acknowledged and sent someone to deliver the message.
Lin Daiyu was looking at the little trinkets for cashmere dolls, and Mu Chuan picked out two items for her.
One is a traditional moon necklace inlaid with red and green gemstones, and the other is a pair of plain silver bracelets that look extremely finely crafted.
Lin Daiyu laughed when she saw the necklace: "It's so big, how heavy must it be? It'll bend your neck." But as soon as she said this, she remembered the gold necklace and lock around Xue Baochai's neck, and her smile became even more genuine.
"When I was little, I also had four necklaces, one with a qilin, one with a gold ingot... and I can't remember what the other two looked like. Later, I don't know where they went, I can't find them anywhere. My third brother gave me this, he can't be treating me like a child, can he?"
Lin Daiyu remembered the rattle drum she had received last time. Later, she put it next to her pillow and shook it before going to sleep, which helped her get a good night's sleep.
"I really don't know how to pick things out for young girls," Mu Chuan readily admitted. "Take whatever you like."
These words had a refreshing quality, transforming something from extremely rustic to extravagant. Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "That's fine. Let's go eat. I can already smell the food."
As the two came out of the big house, Lin Daiyu comforted them again, saying, "Third Brother has a good eye for things; I like everything he gives me."
The waiter then led them into a small building next door: "Don't worry, gentlemen. In our area, it's better if the building creaks and makes a sound when you step on it. It's just that people here aren't used to it. Feel free to step on it; it won't shake."
Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu paused in her steps, and instead of walking beside Mu Chuan, she hid behind him.
Mu Chuan laughed and said, "You should have kept quiet. You've scared the girls."
He turned to look at Lin Daiyu: "Actually, it's better if you walk in front of me. Think about it, if this building isn't sturdy, it'll definitely collapse because of my footing. If you walk in front of me, I can catch you if you fall. If you walk behind me—" Mu Chuan paused, his face full of exaggerated doubt: "Can you catch me?"
That's definitely too much to catch.
"You're not allowed to scare me." Even though she said that, Lin Daiyu still took two steps to walk in front of him, put her hand on the handrail, and carefully went upstairs.
Mu Chuan had sent someone to tell them in advance that the dishes were mostly prepared. Not long after the two entered, a plate of local wild fruits was served first, followed by a series of dishes.
"This is a golden broth omelet, made with dried golden broth flowers, which nourish yin and strengthen the spleen."
"Stir-fried mixed mushrooms is the most frequently ordered dish by repeat customers."
"It's really good." Lin Daiyu thought it smelled nice.
Mu Chuan asked one more question: "There aren't any mushrooms that make little people dance when you eat them, are there?"
"You know about this too?" the waiter asked in surprise. "No, those mushrooms are reserved for sacrificial rites and are not usually transported out."
Mu Chuan was relieved.
"Four kinds of seasonal fresh vegetables." The waiter continued to introduce: "Three-line crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, there's a little story behind it."
The service here wasn't as attentive as at Wu Yue Restaurant, and the waiter was a bit too talkative. Mu Chuan interrupted him with a smile, "Serve the food first."
"Braised Yunnan ham is a local specialty."
"The steamed chicken was steamed for a full two hours; it would fall apart with the slightest touch of chopsticks."
"There is also a three-item dessert platter: Yunnan ham mooncake, flower cake, and ham and milk cake."
Lin Daiyu asked him, "Why are there still mooncakes at this hour?"
The waiter chuckled, "Actually, it's just a meat pie. Calling it a mooncake sounds more elegant. Right now, it's made into a ball shape, but around the Mid-Autumn Festival, they'll make a mold on it and shape it into a cake."
Mu Chuan knew what she liked, so he deliberately whispered, "It's sweet."
While she wouldn't stare at it intently, Lin Daiyu did intend to try the Yunnan ham mooncakes later.
"And this is bamboo rice, which is steamed with Yunnan ham chunks, dried wild fruits, bamboo shoots, and green beans. When you eat it, you insert this bamboo strip here and twist it gently to open it."
Once all the dishes were served, the waiter withdrew, and the maids and servants who had accompanied the two men helped them wash their hands and wipe their cuffs with clean cloths before leaving. Only the two of them remained in the room.
Mu Chuan first tried the stewed ham, while Lin Daiyu ate a piece of Yunnan ham mooncake.
Mu Chuan tried the steamed chicken in a clay pot, but it was too mushy and he didn't like it. However, the soup was indeed delicious. Lin Daiyu ate a piece of Yunnan ham mooncake.
Mu Chuan brought some vegetarian dishes to change things up, and Lin Daiyu ate a piece of Yunnan ham mooncake.
"Daiyu... why don't you eat something else? Although this mooncake isn't big, if you keep eating like this, it's making your third brother a little scared."
Lin Daiyu withdrew her hand from the fourth and last Yunnan ham mooncake: "Third brother, the way you're saying it doesn't sound like my third brother, it sounds more like my old father."
Mu Chuan turned his face away, his expression one of exaggerated confusion. Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "Last time we ate together, you told me that I should eat the things I like first, otherwise I won't be able to eat anymore when I'm full, and the satisfaction will be greatly reduced."
Mu Chuan was caught in a dilemma between indulging her and doing what was best for her.
Lin Daiyu waved her hand in front of him: "Third Brother, this is for you. Try it too. It's sweet and savory, and it's especially delicious."
Well...
“Our family is quite wealthy.” Mu Chuan shook the small bell on the table and called the waiter over. “Bring another plate of Yunnan ham mooncakes, and prepare another box to take away.”
Despite saying that, Mu Chuan still served her a small bowl of stir-fried mixed mushrooms: "To cleanse your palate—okay, okay, it's not greasy, it's just a change of pace."
After eating four Yunnan ham mooncakes, Lin Daiyu felt initially satisfied and then began to try other dishes.
"The chicken is so tender, it's even fresher than black-boned chicken! The stewed ham is also delicious, it tastes different from Jinhua ham."
Mu Chuan had done his research beforehand. He said, "It's hot in Jinhua, so they use a lot of salt to prevent the meat from spoiling, making it more like pickling. It's colder around Dianchi Lake, so they don't need as much salt. After fermenting for two or three years, the taste will definitely be different."
It was the first time Lin Daiyu had tasted a different flavor of food, and she wanted to share it with her third brother.
"The bamboo rice has a fragrant aroma, and this dried fruit is sweet—not sweet, not sweet, but fragrant. Why are you so afraid of sweets?" Lin Daiyu realized that whenever sweet or sugar was mentioned, her third brother would have an indescribable emotion, which was quite amusing.
After all, she is a rather thin girl, and her appetite has not been very good for more than ten years. Although she has gained some weight in the past few months, her appetite is still relatively small.
After eating four Yunnan ham mooncakes, I was already half full.
"Third Brother, I'd like to try some ham and cheese cakes too." Lin Daiyu winked at Mu Chuan.
Mu Chuan turned the plate around.
"I can't finish one, how about we share it?"
If you're talking about portions, then Mu Chuan could eat until he's 120% full.
Lin Daiyu took a small silver knife, cut off a quarter of her own flesh, and then pushed the rest in front of Mu Chuan. She tilted her head and looked at Mu Chuan adorably: "Third Brother, why aren't you eating?"
Actually, Mu Chuan does eat sweets, but...
"Do you want it dipped in sugar?"
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Didn't the waiter just say that this dish of sugar is for serving with the milk cakes?"
"You did this on purpose," Mu Chuan said helplessly.
Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with her laughter; she couldn't help it, her laughter was a bit too big, and it wasn't appropriate to show so many teeth.
After finishing her meal, Lin Daiyu was quite satisfied, but as soon as she stood up—oh no, she had eaten too much again.
"Third Brother." Lin Daiyu looked at Mu Chuan with a little guilt. To be honest, it was quite impolite to eat too much, but... this was her third brother, and besides, she didn't want Zijuan and Xueyan to know.
"Hmm?" Mu Chuan held a cup of not-too-strong Pu'er tea in his hand and said, "Would you like to try some? It's quite delicious even if it's light, and it helps to cut through the richness."
As we all know, Pu-erh tea is warm in nature and has the effect of relieving greasiness and aiding digestion, so her third brother ate too much of it.
Lin Daiyu said confidently, "Let's eat some hawthorn pills. They're a little sour, which is much better at cutting through the greasiness than Pu'er tea."
She had a very imposing presence, even if it was all an act. Mu Chuan told his men to go to the traditional Chinese medicine shop outside to buy some medicine, and then said, "Let's look at some other things. I also have something for you."
First came the merchants who made small wooden furniture and enamel porcelain.
Eating too much inevitably leads to distraction, so Lin Daiyu only chose a set of enamel tableware and a set of rosewood cabinets and dressing tables.
The subordinate who went out to buy medicine returned quickly, bringing a box of large hawthorn pills sealed with wax.
Lin Daiyu pinched open the two, peeled off the wax paper inside, handed one to Mu Chuan first, and then peeled one for herself.
Mu Chuan smiled and said, "This box is on the carriage, specially prepared for you."
Although he was the third brother, he was still a little embarrassed by being laughed at like that. Lin Daiyu turned her head away and changed the subject: "Drink less tea. It's getting late. What if you can't sleep tonight? The eve of the Lunar New Year is coming soon. Third brother is in charge of the entire Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion. Get some rest and don't overwork yourself."
Mu Chuan was quite pleased: "Speaking of Lunar New Year's Eve, how about I bring you some sweets?"
Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered what Zijuan had said, "I asked what the young lady likes to eat and what she likes." She earnestly told Mu Chuan, "I don't really like pure sugar. I only like sweet dishes."
Mu Chuan was eager to know how much psychological trauma the half-plate of sugar that died in her stomach had caused.
"However, the stove candy..." has a good meaning, "okay."
I don't really understand what young girls like you think.
Mu Chuan then brought out three more boxes stacked together, specifically for storing medicinal herbs, made of rosewood.
"These are medicinal herbs I brought for you. They are both food and medicine, and they are good for nourishing your body." Mu Chuan opened them one by one to show her.
“Ginseng. I’ll send it to you from now on. Don’t go to your second aunt’s place and suffer. A maid’s life is a life too, so don’t make your maid sad.”
Why are we suddenly bringing this up again?
Lin Daiyu felt a mix of urgency and gratitude, and in the end, she simply nodded and gave a soft "Mmm."
"Lingzhi. Slice it thinly and use hot water, but don't use freshly boiled water. The goji berries and jujubes on the side are for you to eat with the lingzhi, otherwise it will be too bitter."
Lingzhi is far more precious than ginseng. When she first arrived, the Rongguo Mansion didn't value ginseng, but there wasn't a single piece of lingzhi in the entire mansion.
She dares to buy ginseng, but lingzhi... The Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica says it is a superior medicine, and long-term use can prolong life.
"Third Brother," Lin Daiyu said, looking at Mu Chuan, "this is too precious."
Mu Chuan then said, "Since you don't want this, you should at least accept this, right?"
Mu Chuan opened the third box.
"Snow lotus?!" Lin Daiyu was so surprised she almost stood up. This was even more precious; medical books from ancient times to the present have described it as a divine herb.
Lin Daiyu looked at the three boxes in front of her: ginseng—the king of herbs, lingzhi—a superior medicine, and snow lotus—a divine herb. Seeing her third brother's slightly smug look, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
"You're giving me so much at once, I can't possibly eat it all."
"It's not a big problem, I'll sprinkle some sugar on it for you."
Lin Daiyu's eyes reddened as she laughed. In the Rongguo Mansion, she had to go through a lot of trouble and be scolded for eating bird's nest. But her third brother gave her these things as if it were nothing.
"You know about snow lotus. There are snow-capped mountains all over Beili. The snow lotus in the chieftain's warehouse is enough for you to eat for a lifetime... But you can't eat it for a lifetime. It won't be good if it's left for too long. Let's eat it fresh."
Lin Daiyu gave him a weak glare and said, "Then I should thank the chieftain."
"A sweet and fragrant young lady like you is destined to be killed and eaten by the chieftain. Just thank me."
"Thank you, Third Brother." Lin Daiyu glanced at him again and joked, "Although I may never grow as strong as you in my entire life, I will take good care of my health."
Mu Chuan then took out the imperial glass cup: "This is also for you, a gift from His Majesty."
It goes without saying how beautiful and exquisite the object is, especially under the setting sun, this glass cup is simply extraordinary.
Lin Daiyu got up, took the incense holder from the room, carefully placed it in the glass cup, and then took the incense cone to light it. Before long, snow-white smoke rose up, enveloping the crystal-clear, seven-colored glass cup, making it look even more like a fairyland.
Mu Chuan suddenly sighed: "I regret it, I won't give this to you for now."
Lin Daiyu was amused by him: "How can you be like this? I still call you Third Brother."
"Calling me Third Uncle is not allowed either."
Lin Daiyu actually called him Third Uncle again, and her face turned red as soon as she did so. Last time she had said that whoever called her Third Uncle would look good.
She stretched out her hand, palm facing up, and said cautiously, "Be gentle, I can't do it myself."
As if he could actually do it, Mu Chuan's mind was filled with all sorts of impolite things he could do. In the end, he could only flick his wrist lightly and say, "Next time you call me Third Uncle, I won't let you off so easily."
Having escaped unscathed, Lin Daiyu grew bolder again: "Why didn't you spare me? Would you have flicked me a couple of times?"
After saying that, she jumped up as fast as she could, hid behind the screen with only half of her body showing, and looked at Mu Chuan with a smile.
Mu Chuan sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, and that telling the truth at this moment would scare the girl away, so he changed the subject to something serious.
"Don't throw away the wooden box that holds the glass cups. It has the emperor's seal on it. Place it in a prominent place in your room to ward off evil spirits."
"Oh," Lin Daiyu responded. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the sun was almost setting; it was indeed time to go back. She slowly walked back, sat down again, and sighed deeply, "Sigh..."
Mu Chuan hardened his heart and asked her, "The information I gathered at the Rongguo Mansion is that you and Jia Baoyu were childhood sweethearts and grew up together?"
Lin Daiyu didn't answer, but lowered her head. This attitude... even though Mu Chuan was prepared, his heart sank.
However, he wasn't completely cold, because the fact that the girl acted this way in front of him proved her trust and closeness to him.
"Your maid also said that you seem to be engaged to him?"
A maidservant? Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered that Zijuan had gone to fetch water that morning and returned very late. She actually dared to say this to her third brother.
"I never told her that." Lin Daiyu was both angry and embarrassed, so she only said the most irrelevant thing.
But how could Mu Chuan not understand the meaning behind this?
Yes, my heart is broken.
Mu Chuan sighed and said, "You just told me that your second aunt treats you badly and that you don't like her."
Lin Daiyu remained silent, and Mu Chuan sighed, "Never mind, I'll back you up anyway, that's what I do."
"No." Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment, suppressing her shyness. "I don't consider Third Brother an outsider, it's just... there is indeed a marriage agreement."
Mu Chuan's heart was twisted to the extreme, but he had to pretend to be indifferent: "I guessed so, otherwise Rongguo Mansion is just your maternal grandfather's family, and it doesn't belong to the Lin family. How could you have stayed here for so long? The Lin family clan wouldn't allow it either."
“It was… arranged by my father before he passed away,” Lin Daiyu whispered. “He said he had already discussed it with my maternal grandmother, and that we would…”
Mu Chuan gritted his teeth, already planning to kill Jia Baoyu so that he would never grow old.
"I think Jia Baoyu doesn't seem quite right... he doesn't seem to have grown up yet. What does he do on a daily basis? Does he have any official duties? Has he passed the imperial examination to become a scholar?"
Lin Daiyu shook her head, a sense of shame welling up inside her. Her third brother was so outstanding that anyone standing in his presence would feel inferior, and Baoyu was no exception.
Mu Chuan asked doubtfully, "How could Lord Lin have chosen such a son-in-law? I'll call him over in a couple of days, meet him, and ask him properly."
"No," Lin Daiyu quickly stopped her, "He... he probably doesn't know yet."
"Huh?" Mu Chuan was genuinely puzzled this time: "You two are engaged, but he doesn't know?"
Having said all that, even though she was saddened and ashamed, and even to the point of wanting to cry, Lin Daiyu still stammered, "My father told me... but my grandmother told him not to tell me, saying that she would make arrangements for me when I grew up, so that if she found out about the engagement, there would be no problems in our relationship and it would ruin my reputation. But my father said he should tell me, that I need to know."
"Also... my former maid, the one I mentioned to you, asked him about it, and he told me in detail when he came back... He probably didn't know we were engaged."
Grandmother Jia deserves to die.
Mu Chuan sighed. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to put on the persona of an elder brother who was like a father to him and speak at this time.
"He hasn't established himself, and he lives and eats at home. What will you do in the future? Has he ever said what he wants to do in the future? Or what he likes? What else can he do without the Rongguo Mansion?"
Lin Daiyu immediately recalled her previous hint to Baoyu that the Jia family's expenses were too high and there were no new sources of income, so they would definitely run out of money later.
How did Baoyu answer?
With an old lady around, the two of us won't be short of food.
Lin Daiyu lowered her head even further, not daring to speak at all. It's no wonder that her third brother didn't like her.
“Grandmother… has something to leave for him.”
Mu Chuan sighed, and relying on his status as the eldest brother who was like a father to him, he blatantly said sarcastically, "Listen to what you're saying."
"Third Brother, Third Brother," Lin Daiyu called out twice, too ashamed to speak.
Mu Chuan thought it was fine. The reason she felt ashamed was naturally because she subconsciously felt that Jia Baoyu was not good enough.
Now that he had already led Jia Baoyu to the conclusion that it was no good, he needed to change his approach.
"Fine. As long as he's a good person, that's fine too. The second son of the legitimate wife, just staying at home... Sigh, is he good to you?" Is he as good to you as I am?
Mu Chuan waited nervously and cautiously for Lin Daiyu's answer, afraid of hearing a single "okay" from her.
