The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

But she said why Princess Yimeng worried about Li Ran and Jia Baoyu's affairs, it was because of the awkwardness between the two of them.

It turned out that Li Ran had been kicked by Zhuang Wei, but she didn't get good care and attention, and her health has been bad.At that time, the eminent monk who invited the eminent monk to teach Buddhism from Mount Wutai was already preparing to leave. Li Ran Gu Lai believed in Jia Baoyu the most, so he entrusted Jia Baoyu with the matter of contacting the eminent monk. To follow along.However, Jia Baoyu was worried that it would be bad for Li Ran to go on the road with injuries, and he was really reluctant to let him leave the world like this, so he took the initiative to hide the matter, and only told Li Ran that the eminent monk would stay in the capital for a while, and Li Ran never doubted it. .When Li Ran got well and went out to look for the eminent monk, he had already drifted away.

Li Ran was so angry that he had an argument with Jia Baoyu for the first time, and he refused to pay any attention to Jia Baoyu.

But Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, etc., were all looking forward to Li Ran's going to become a monk, but they were busy with the Spring Festival and Tanchun, and they ignored Li Ran, especially since they got the news that Li Ran had already decided to go to Mount Wutai. When he became a monk, he was relieved at first, but he didn't notice that Jia Baoyu actually concealed the news of the eminent monk's departure, and let Li Ran stay behind, missing the best time to tell him to pack up and leave.

Especially when he saw Jia Baoyu's low profile, but Li Ran still ignored him, how could Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang be calm?They were also afraid that if Li Ran really stayed here, it would be difficult for them to deal with him, so they secretly arranged for someone to speak behind their backs, which happened to be overheard by Li Ran, saying, "The eminent monk is gone, and it will be sincere to chase after him." , "If I can go all the way to Mount Wutai by myself, I will definitely be able to impress the Buddha." After listening to Li Ran's words, he really moved his mind. So I started thinking about going to Mount Wutai on my own.

Regardless of Jia Baoyu's begging, Li Ran packed up a simple salute and said goodbye to the elders of the Jia family. Not going up to say goodbye to her.

Jia Baoyu sent him all the way out of Beijing with Ai Aidi, and pulled Li Ran's sleeves, his eyes turned red. Li Ran's way forward was set, and his heart softened a little. Jia Baoyu said a few soft words.

Jia Baoyu had been left out in the cold for a long time, now seeing that Li Ran was finally willing to forgive him, he felt even more reluctant, and sent him off all the way, reluctant to go back, and then sent him off again, he only brought Mingyan and two long-term companions when he went out, so he couldn't persuade him at all. I didn't move him, so I sent him further and further away.

Seeing that the sun was going to the west, Mingyan hurriedly persuaded him to go back, Jia Baoyu dawdled for a long time, until he estimated that he hurried back and might not be able to enter the city in time before the city gate closed, Jia Baoyu became happy instead, and said to accompany Li Ran again Going forward to find a place to stay, let a long follower drive the carriage back to the mansion to report, saying that he will return tomorrow.

Mingyan and the others couldn't do it, and the long follower drove the carriage fast enough to enter the city before the city gate closed, but Jia Baoyu couldn't take such a bumpy carriage, so he had to divide a long follower and drive the carriage back, and the other two guarded the carriage. Following Jia Baoyu and Li Ran, they drove forward and found a place to stay.

When Jia Mu and others got the news, although they were worried, they had no choice but to order people to guard them. When the city gate opened the next day, they set out to pick them up.

However, after such a one-night delay, all they found on the second day was the tea smoke and long attendants like headless flies. It turned out that they couldn't find Li Ran and Jia Baoyu early in the morning, and only saw a piece left by Jia Baoyu. The paper letter was actually left by Jia Baoyu and left with Li Ran. It is said that he caused Li Ran to miss the opportunity to follow the eminent monk, and he should make up for it. He accompanied Li Ran to Wutai Mountain all the way. return.

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang got the news, they fainted at the same time. Even Shi Xiangyun was so frightened that his face turned pale. The monk's heart never came back, and each of them was crying and making noises, and it was a mess.

When Jia's mother woke up, she dispatched people to search all the way to Mount Wutai, saying that Jia Baoyu must be brought back unharmed. As for Li Ran, Jia's mother said bitterly, "Don't worry about him", and let Jia Baoyu go away. The matter was on Li Ran's head.

It is difficult to go out these days. Of course, they can ignore Li Ran's life and death. Whether he arrived at Mount Wutai safely, was killed by someone on the way, or fell ill and died, they don't care at all.

But Jia Baoyu is different. Has he ever traveled far?Naively think that all the people in this world are good-hearted and don't pick up lost things on the way?What's more, he actually got rid of all the servants and didn't bring any of them!

Jia Mu and others were so anxious that even Jia Zheng said that he was a wicked person every day, and now he was worried about his safety.

They thought every day whether Jia Baoyu had money, whether he ate well today, whether he was cold at night, whether he was taken away by a kidnapper, whether he was cheated or beaten by someone, and suddenly the whole house was gloomy. He didn't dare to speak loudly, he always looked worried when he encountered anything, and he didn't dare to smile even when things were happy.

So full of worries, Mrs. Wang fell ill, and Mother Jia couldn't hold on anymore. She was already very old, and she just couldn't worry about Jia Baoyu, thinking that she would give Jia Baoyu before she died. He has paved all the roads for the future, but now he still has to worry about his safety, and he became ill and confused in a few days.

Strange to say, the Jia family sent many people to drive all the way to Mount Wutai to look for it, but they never found Jia Baoyu and Li Ran, and they were afraid that they would go faster than Jia Baoyu and the others and miss it. , Only two groups of people were scored, all the way forward quickly, all the way slowly looking behind, but there was still no news at all.When the news spread back to Jia's family, Jia's family was even more worried, and they dared not tell Jia's mother, for fear that she would die in a hurry.

Jia's family invited an imperial doctor to hang Jiamu's life, and Jiamu was only awake for less than half an hour every day. Even the imperial doctor said that Jiamu was exhausted and might not be able to last for a few months. You can prepare in advance. The funeral is coming.

Sometimes Jia Mu fell asleep, sometimes awake, and had a dream intermittently. The dream was very strange. In the dream, Jia Min had long since disappeared, and there was only Daiyu, a direct daughter, under her knees.Daiyu was brought to live in Jia's family since she was a child, and she grew up with Jia Baoyu intimately. She even wanted to make the two jade children together, but Mrs. Wang didn't want to, so she brought Xue Baochai to fight with her. .Later, Lin Hai also died, and the Lin family's property was swallowed up by the Jia family without anyone knowing about it. She thought that Daiyu would marry into the Jia family sooner or later, so she only entered the house in advance as a dowry, so she kept silent.As a result, Daiyu lived in Jia's family, and was ridiculed for "sent under the fence, and every piece of paper was used by Jia's family". Later, she was forced to die in Jia's family, but Jia Baoyu married Xue Baochai, and later became a monk. .There is also her Yuanchun, who did not marry as the prince's side concubine in her previous life, but became the imperial concubine, and the reigning emperor was not the current Emperor Chunyou, and Prince Chengke never existed.The Jia family went from being a grand and splendid family to being ransacked and exiled, which really made her feel terrified.

When I wake up and think about the current situation, I feel that it is completely different from the dream. Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Jia Yuanchun are not in a dream at all, especially Daiyu, who has long been envied by everyone. How could it be like in a dream, to die miserably and silently?If this is the case, this dream is just absurd and cannot be done accurately, then the Jia family will definitely not end up demolished and exiled, right?Mother Jia comforted herself like this, but when she woke up and looked at the old and young people in the room, thinking about the declining situation of the Jia family, she seemed to be walking the old road in her dream. I understand that it is not impossible to do something that disregards the laws of the country and makes money like in a dream.The more Jia's mother thought about it, the more horrified she became, and then she thought that Jia Baoyu was going to accompany Li Ran to become a monk. If he couldn't think about it for a while and became a monk together, wouldn't it be what he saw in his dream?

How could Mother Jia want the Jia family to be defeated like this?If so, even if she died, how would she have the face to see the dead Jia Guogong?

Mother Jia thought that the Jia family must not be allowed to fall to such a state, but thinking about the many old relatives of the Jia family, now they are defeated and scattered, and there is no family that can be entrusted with peace of mind. The relatives of the Lin family and Prince Chengke's mansion, if they have the heart, can still protect the wealth of the Jia family for a hundred years.After all, it was the Lin family and Prince Chengke's mansion that had nothing in common with the dream. If fate changed because of them, then only they could save the Jia family.

Mother Jia also knew that neither Lin Hai nor Daiyu had a deep bond with the Jia family. Even because of the imminent death, all the calculations that Mother Jia had made to the Lin family, Jia Min, and Daiyu were now clear. The ground appeared in her mind, making her not sure that Lin Hai and Daiyu could agree to this request, but now, she has no choice but to see the Jia family fall like this, and the descendants Descendants have nothing to rely on.

After all, Mother Jia sent people to the Lin family and Prince Chengke's mansion to spread the news.

The Lin family and Prince Chengke's residence have also learned that Jia's mother is seriously ill. As Lin Hai's son-in-law, the two children in the family must call Jia's mother "grandmother" no matter what. There was a bit of family affection, but they didn't shirk it, and they both came to the door.

When Jia's mother saw Lin Hai, father and son, and Daiyu, her eyes lit up a little, and her spirits improved a little, but in the eyes of everyone, it was just a flash of light.
