Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Baochai never thought that life could be lived like this.

In the ice and snow, when she was dying of cold, hunger, and illness, she only felt that reincarnation was the way to go, and that this was how life and death were.

With her eyes closed and her soul flying, she felt that her evil destiny was over and she had fully realized it. Not wanting to open her eyes again, she actually saw the young Zijuan.

"Girl, it's time to take the medicine. If you wait any longer, the medicine won't be as effective as it gets cold."

"What did you call me?"

"Girl?" Zijuan tilted her head in confusion, "What's wrong, girl?"

Her hand reached over, touched Baochai's hand, and tried her forehead again.

"The girl is still wearing too little. It's such a cold day. You should bring a stove with you. If you get cold, the old lady should scold us. Xueyan, please bring another stove quickly."

"Coming."

The door curtain opened, and a blast of cold air hit her. Just as Baochai was about to speak, he shuddered and coughed due to the cold air.

"girl!"

The two little girls were worried, and one quickly covered the door curtain to prevent the cold wind from blowing in. I helped Baochai get some warm tea and gave it to Baochai to drink.

Baochai took a few sips and saw her current face in the reflection of the tea - it was Daiyu. So, her dream was also true?

"Girl, drink less and take the medicine first."

Zijuan thought she still wanted to drink tea and quickly took the cup away. If her Miss Lin drinks too much tea, she will not be able to drink the medicine later.

"Where's Baoyu?"

Baochai touched his face, feeling dazed. Is she Daiyu now? Has she become Daiyu since then?

She used to envy Daiyu. In her previous life, all the hard calculations she had made when she was Baochai were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the original owner Daiyu.

She has to wait until Daiyu dies before she can marry Baoyu, whom her mother, Aunt Xue, misses dearly.

Now, she has become Daiyu, what about Baochai? Who is Baochai in this life?

[Host, collect the gods. Baochai in this life will naturally be done by others, you just have to complete your task. 】

"Task……"

Baochai murmured, and then remembered that when she was on the verge of life and death, there seemed to be several gods who came into her dream and asked her to do tasks.

What is talking in my mind now is the system...

"Girl, Doctor Wang has said that the most taboo thing about your disease is to be distracted and to think less. Girls should also listen to this advice."

Zijuan said, handing over a small bowl of decoction, and the spicy smell of ginseng hit her nose.

"Drink it quickly. If you wait any longer, the medicine will get cold. If Baoyu comes back and sees him..."

"I drink."

Baochai hurriedly spoke out and brought the medicine over. She felt like vomiting after taking a sip, but she still swallowed it alive.

Zicuckoo watched her girl drink the medicine and nodded happily. While waiting for the girl to rinse her mouth with water, she thought it would be more useful to take out the precious jade.

"Baoyu said that the Dongfu hosted a banquet for Mistress Lian a few days ago. He went to have a look. When he comes back, he will definitely come to see you first."

"Oh!"

Baochai handed the empty bowl to Zijuan and responded lightly. He took the water and rinsed his mouth before leaning on the pillow.

She no longer thinks about what the original Daiyu would have done, she only thinks about the medicine she drank.

This medicine is also too unpleasant to drink, as hard to swallow as Lengxiang Pills. It is no wonder that Daiyu often had a bad appetite in the past.

Taking the hand stove wrapped by Xue Yan and putting it in his arms to warm his stomach, Baochai spoke calmly and finally clarified the situation.

Nowadays, the idea of ​​a good marriage between gold and jade has become known to everyone in the Jia family's courtyard. Jia's mother is not happy and just asks Baoyu to go to Lixiang Courtyard. At this time, Xue Baochai had no choice but to be shameless and often stay in Baoyu's room.

As a result, Baoyu rarely stayed at home. In addition, he went to school, so he rarely saw Daiyu.

Estimating the time, it was almost time for Lin Ruhai to write a letter saying that he was seriously ill.

Zicuckoo saw that her girl was in a daze, so she didn't bother her. She just took out her daily needlework and sewed two stitches.

Today, her girl took medicine and didn't say anything about life or death, which shows that she has grown up. When she went to report to the old lady later, she would also have good words to reassure her.

"Zicuckoo..."

"Hey! What do you want me to do, girl?" Zicuckoo quickly put down her needle and thread.

"You sew yours, I just asked casually, is it a long time since I heard from my father?"

"Mr. Lin?" Zijuan was puzzled. He raised his hand and calculated. It was true that he hadn't seen a letter from Lin Mansion for some time. He quickly spoke to comfort him.

However, Mr. Lin is really well-behaved. He knows that the girl is being raised in Jia's house, and asking her too frequently will only make her uneasy. For Daiyu's own good, he only writes letters according to the season.

"Girl, the New Year will be here soon, and Mr. Lin must be busy with official duties. I'm afraid the letter to the girl will have to come to Beijing with the New Year's gift."

Baochai nodded and asked Zijuan to bring her old letters from home, saying it would relieve her homesickness. In fact, she wanted to check the relationship between Daiyu and Lin's father to avoid any mistakes after returning.

Thinking about her mission carefully, it was just to ask her not to be discovered that she had replaced Daiyu. For the rest, just continue to live as Daiyu did in her previous life.

The people who usually care about Daiyu are just the few masters in Rongguo Mansion. Baochai has dealt with them all and seen how they get along with Daiyu.

On the contrary, she had never seen Father Lin, only heard about it, and was afraid that this test would be difficult.

In her previous life, when she was Baochai, she only focused on planning for the Xue family. Everyone in the Jia family had everything figured out, so now she didn't need to worry about it anymore.

In the past, she had to plan and socialize, busy day and night, doing needlework, reading and studying. Now that she is Daiyu, she only needs to take care of her own small yard. She doesn't have to worry about it. Mrs. Jia Muwang rushes to take care of it.

The little girl, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law below were all well-behaved and did not bother her with household chores. All she could do was read, play chess, mix perfume and dress up, and other "idle things".

Even Lin's father's letter home only advised Daiyu to take good care of her health. Na Na got an orphan collection of poems by Lu You to relieve her boredom.

Baochai, who has been busy with family chores all his life, is very uncomfortable with this.

This is what others call a young lady's life, but I am just "making a living".

Baochai couldn't help covering her face with a veil and started crying.

Zicuckoo didn't make a fuss when she saw her girl crying.

How many times would her girl not be angry with Baoyu and cry? Especially when a girl from the Xue family came to the house, she always made Daiyu angry. Now her girl is afraid that she will think of something again, and she just needs to wait for Baoyu to apologize.

Sure enough, when Baoyu came from Dongfu, he coaxed her girl with just a few words. However, before nightfall, she received a letter from Lin's family saying that Mr. Lin was seriously ill.

With no other choice, Zijuan had no choice but to pack her luggage back to Yangzhou with Grandma Wang, and waited until the day was ready to hit the road, so she could follow them together.

Baochai was also relieved here.

She had just become Daiyu, and she couldn't change many habits for a while. She just waited for a trip back to Yangzhou to delay the time. When you come back, you will be able to practice.

In this way, her replacement of Daiyu would be less likely to go wrong.

During the days of waiting, she saw herself in this world. Looking at my past self from a third perspective, I just feel that it was all flawed.

Baochai here is in contact with everyone. The master, maids, mother-in-law, etc. welcome all comers and greet them with smiles as if they have no temper. If this kind of behavior were seen by Jia Mu and other elderly adults, it would be a joke, right?
