[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

...Lin Daiyu must be angry because of what he said so abruptly last night!

Bao Cong, who woke up drunk, lay on the bed thinking blankly, wishing he could fall asleep again.

No, I have to explain!

He opened his eyes suddenly and got up, and shouted: "Qingwen, come in and help me wash up, I'm going to find Sister Lin!"

Just as she was about to get out of bed, her eyes flickered, but someone grabbed her by the collar.

"Bao Cong!" Bao Yu shook him vigorously, "What did you say last night? You want to marry Sister Lin? Who agreed?"

Bao Cong took a look, and saw that Bao Yu's hair was messy, her eyes were red, and she looked haggard. She had obviously stayed up all night without sleep.

Xiren and Qingwen heard the noise and all came in.

Xiren grabbed Baoyu and persuaded him: "Baoyu, please don't do this, let the third master speak well."

Baoyu was finally persuaded to loosen Baocong's collar, and Qingwen hurried forward to help Baocong dress and wash.

Bao Cong asked suspiciously: "What happened to him? He stayed here all night?"

Qingwen nodded, "Yes, let him go back to sleep, he must go back. He said he wanted to ask you something!"

Baoyu was following behind Baocong, chattering anxiously like a little tail: "How can you marry Sister Lin? You can't marry her!"

Xiren also followed Baoyu, turning around anxiously, "Baoyu, don't worry, why don't you go back and wash?"

Baoyu didn't pay attention to Xiren at all, just pulled Baocong and kept asking, "Say it! Tell me clearly!"

Seeing that Baoyu was so anxious, Baocong didn't rush to find Lin Daiyu, and asked Baoyu directly, "Why can't I marry her? I like her, so why can't I marry her?"

When Baoyu heard this, he became even more anxious. He stamped his feet and said, "No! No!"

He was so anxious that his face turned red, and he stopped Bao Cong from going out, for fear that he would go to find Lin Daiyu.

Where did Bao Cong get it?

Baoyu likes Lin Daiyu's fairy-like appearance. He only thinks that she is a younger sister and has never thought of anything else.But what Bao Cong said last night, like a bomb, woke him up!

Originally, it was only a vague affection, but Baoyu thought about it all night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he liked Lin Daiyu.

Baoyu's small arms and legs, of course, can't stop Baoyu from going out.But when Baocong saw that Baoyu was in such a hurry, he felt a little confused and uneasy.

I remember that in the original book, Baoyu had a very deep affection for Lin Daiyu, and when he said that Lin Daiyu was leaving, he went crazy.

But in this life, it is obvious that he and Lin Daiyu have a closer relationship. Why is Baoyu so anxious when he hears that he is going to marry Lin Daiyu?

Could it be that he was really influenced by the Wood and Stone Alliance?Or did Baoyu and Lin Daiyu have other emotions when he didn't know it?

Baocong thought sourly, seeing Baoyu getting more and more unpleasant.

He sighed hard, and asked Baoyu coldly, "Why can't you do it? Can you control whoever sister Lin likes to marry?"

I don't know if it was because Bao Cong's cold face was too scary, or because he was angry at his words, Baoyu started crying like a child: "No, no, you can't marry Sister Lin! Sister Lin is mine! You can't marry she!"

This voice was heard outside the yelling!

Bao Cong immediately stepped forward and covered Bao Yu's mouth, and said fiercely, "What are you shouting about! Everyone outside can hear it!"

Xiren also hurried forward and persuaded Baoyu in a low voice: "Baoyu, stop making trouble! You and the third master are talking about this here. If someone hears it and spreads it to Miss Lin, how can Miss Lin behave? "

When Qingwen saw this situation, she went out of the house early and drove all the little girls away.

She stood guarding the door of the house by herself, listening to the noisy movement inside, and sighed again.

Really didn't make enough noise last night, another one early in the morning!

Baoyu's voice suddenly choked in his throat, and tears flowed down his face. He looked aggrieved and pitiful, as if he had been severely bullied.

When Baocong saw Baoyu like this, his heart sank, and he didn't know what it was like.

After all, Baoyu is his brother. If the two brothers fight over this, will Lin Daiyu's reputation be good?

It's better to coax Baoyu well first, and then think about what to do!

"Baoyu, why are you crying?" Baocong shook his head helplessly and said, "Sister Lin is a human being, not a plaything, so what you say is yours is yours?"

"I said that if I want to marry Sister Lin, I have to have Sister Lin to be willing, right? Everyone knows that you are making such a fuss. If Sister Lin is pointed out, my wife and ancestors will also be angry!"

Baoyu brushed away Baocong's hand covering her, choked up and said, "Then, you can't marry Sister Lin, I, I like Sister Lin!"

Bao Cong: "..."

Better kill him!save trouble!

However, this is not possible.

This time Baoyu seems to be determined, even if Baocong wants to beat him, he will not let go!

Bao Cong also had nothing to do with him for the time being, so he had to threaten him: "Who does Sister Lin marry? You have the final say? Stop yelling, so as not to tarnish her reputation!"

Baoyu saw that Baocong didn't say anything more about marrying Lin Daiyu, so he nodded quickly and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, sister Lin is angry, it's not good for her to hear!"

Early in the morning, when Baoyu made a fuss, it was hard for Baocong to go to Lin Daiyu, lest he make another noise.

They went to the foreign study together to attend class. After the class, Baoyu pestered Baocong again and asked about Yingchun.

At this moment, Bao Cong really wanted to slap himself.

Why are you talking so much nonsense when you're drunk?

Don't get drunk and talk nonsense anymore!If you drink and talk nonsense again, you will be fined to do a thousand push-ups!

He warned himself fiercely in his heart.

Seeing Baoyu's naive and ignorant face, Bao Cong thought about it and told Liu Xianglian about her refusal to marry.

"Brother Liu means that there are not many good things in our house, and the second sister has an absurd father. He just doesn't want to marry a girl from our Jia family!" Said, "You must not tell others, otherwise the second sister will not be able to be a human being!"

"This, how can this be like this?" Baoyu was stunned, unable to believe it: "How could Big Brother Liu be such a person? What's wrong with Second Sister? Why don't you like Second Sister?"

"Didn't you understand?" Baocong really wanted to grab Baoyu and shake him awake, "Since the second sister looks like a fairy, she can do things and is gentle, Brother Liu doesn't want to marry either! He just doesn't want to marry the Jia family. Girl!"

"What's the matter if he doesn't want to marry? Our Jia family doesn't have many good things! Why don't others dislike us and don't want to marry us?"

If it wasn't for the fear of being heard by others, Bao Cong would have yelled at the top of his voice!

Fortunately, Baoyu finally understood the words and was stunned.

"We, our family..." Baoyu wanted to say, why are there not many good things?

But think about the girls in Jia She's house, and Jia Lian who often go out to find flowers and ask Liu, and Yingchun's father and brother are really not very good men... Baoyu can't say anything good for them.

His face was flushed, he was holding his breath, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Second sister is better if she doesn't marry! Living comfortably at home, isn't it good for a lifetime?"

"Ah!" Bao Cong was so angry that he raised his hand and knocked a chestnut on Bao Yu, "You have only lived at home for the rest of your life!"

"If she doesn't get married, won't she be an old girl? Are you telling her not to go out for the rest of her life? Or go out and let others tell her that she is an old girl who can't get married? Are you thinking about her? Or harm her?"

"But what's so good about being married?" Baoyu retorted, covering her head: "Look at those married girls, all of them have the same eyes as dead fish, mean and boring. Why do girls want to marry? Second sister What if you get married and become dead fish eyes?"

Bao Cong snorted coldly: "They have dead fish eyes, that's because they are blind, and they don't marry a good man! The second sister wants to marry a good man who loves her and protects her in the palm of his hand every day. Is it the eyes of a dead fish?"

As he said that, he gave Baoyu a white look, shook his head and said, "If you really want to be kind to Second Sister, you'd better stop talking about these irrelevant things, and find a good husband for Second Sister as soon as possible!"

When Baoyu heard this, he lost his energy.

He has always only liked to play with his sisters, how many men can he know outside?

Yingchun must not marry those playboys that he doesn't even look up to.Liu Xianglian has already refused to marry, and Jiang Yuhan's identity is not worthy, where else can he go to find young talents?

Bao Cong also had no way to deal with it, but he knew a few good ones in Hangzhou.But some of them are already married, some are too young, and the right age family is not suitable. After much deliberation, they can't find the right one for a while.

I only hope that Jia Amnesty will not get on the line with Sun Shao's group too soon.

Bao Cong became anxious after thinking about it in his heart, so he called Dong Ming in and told him to keep an eye on Jia She, and if he met Sun Shao's group to propose marriage, he should be notified immediately.

No matter what, he had to mess up Sun Shao's marriage first.

Just as Bao Cong was thinking about something, he called someone in to do something, with such agility, it was as if Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng had joined together!

Baoyu thought ignorantly, I don't know when, Bao Cong's behavior became more and more like adults outside, but what he did was not as hypocritical and annoying as those adults...

Seeing Bao Cong frowning in deep thought, Bao Yu first felt that the two of them were completely different, and Bao Cong seemed...to be very powerful...

Baocong didn't know what Baoyu was thinking, he finished thinking about welcoming the spring, and began to think about Lin Daiyu again.

Lin Daiyu must be angry when he made such a scene last night!

Sure enough, at night when Baocong greeted Jia Mu and met Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu smiled, but avoided his sight and ignored him!

Everyone was talking and laughing without realizing it, so Bao Cong sneaked up to Lin Daiyu's side, just about to say something, but Lin Daiyu didn't even give him a look, turned around, and sat down beside Jiamu to talk.

Seeing Lin Daiyu ignoring him like this, Bao Cong was very annoyed, he would have explained and apologized to her early in the morning!

But he didn't know that Lin Daiyu was actually very nervous!

After listening to those words last night, she didn't sleep well all night. She finally fell asleep for a while, and in her dream, she even dreamed that she and Baocong got married...

When she woke up in the morning, Lin Daiyu was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable seeing Bao Cong. Fortunately, Bao Cong didn't go to her early in the morning.

At night, although she had collected herself and put those words and the dream behind her, she was still uncomfortable.

Seeing Bao Cong, she couldn't help but blush.

She had no choice but to not look at him, and couldn't help but want to secretly look at him.

When Bao Cong approached, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

Those who wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close, their whole body tensed up!

Lin Daiyu didn't know what was wrong with her, she only knew that the girl's family was not good, so she almost tried her best to hide her embarrassment in front of everyone!

Bao Cong still walked towards her from time to time, and she could only curse inwardly: "It's all because of that poor mouth, it really should be sewn up so that he can't speak!"

In the evening, Bao Cong followed Lin Daiyu to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but Lin Daiyu said that she wanted to rest and closed the door early to thank the guests.On the next day, Bao Cong passed away early in the morning, and Lin Daiyu went out to relax again...

Such a person who leaves early and returns late, how can Bao Cong not see that Lin Daiyu is avoiding him?

Even when everyone was chatting and eating together, Lin Daiyu ignored him.

Baocong thought that she was very angry this time, and felt uncomfortable, so he sighed all day long.

On August [-]th, the Supreme Emperor's birthday.

The jade bonsai made by Baocong won the favor of the Supreme Emperor, and the rewards from the palace flowed to Rongguo Mansion like water.

Mother Jia and the others were very happy because of Baocong's big face in the palace. They not only held a banquet to celebrate, but also rewarded the servants with a month's money.

Therefore, everyone in Jia's house was very happy, and they walked with their heads held high and their chests held high.

Only Bao Cong, the person involved, was still looking sluggish and listless.

At the banquet, Jia Mu saw that Bao Cong was not very happy, so she asked what happened to Yuanyang?

Yuanyang only smiled and replied: "I guess it's awkward with Miss Lin, it's not okay yet!"

Jia's mother wondered, "How long has it been? Why haven't these two little friends reconciled?"

Yuanyang said: "It is said that the second master Bao is stubborn, but I think the third master is stubborn! I don't know what made Miss Lin angry, but he can bear not to coax her."

Others thought it was Bao Cong who didn't try to coax Lin Daiyu, but who knew that Lin Daiyu was hiding from Bao Cong so that he didn't find a good time to talk to her alone?

Mother Jia shook her head and smiled when she heard Yuanyang's words: "Hey, this child has liked to cling to Yu'er since he was a child. I think he can't be stubborn for a few days, and he will still coax him!"

Yuanyang smiled and said: "After all, the ancestors knew about them. Maybe the third master will coax Miss Lin tomorrow, and they will be reconciled!"

This was just a small episode, Mother Jia didn't take it too seriously, not to mention, on the second day, a big event came out from the palace.

On the night of the Taishanghuang's birthday, the emperor personally washed the Taishanghuang's feet and even gave him a massage!

The imperial censor of the court wrote an "Ode to Filial Son" for Emperor Zhao, praising Emperor Zhao for his purity and filial piety, which can be set as an example for the people of the world!

"The Son of Heaven is extremely filial!"

Jia Zheng bowed to Jia's mother and said deeply: "What the Holy Majesty can do in person, we should follow suit!"

So Jia Zheng brought the foot-washing water and washed Jia Mu's feet seriously.

"The Son of Heaven is extremely filial!"

When Jia Amnesty saw that Jia Zheng had washed Jia Mu's feet, how could he, the eldest son, not show his respect?

So, dragging his old and frivolous body, he also washed Jia Mu's feet seriously.

Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng washed Jiamu's feet, and the rest of the crowd naturally looked at each other, and they took turns washing Jiamu's feet every day in accordance with their seniority.

The elders washed Jia Mu's feet, and Jia Lian, Bao Yu, Bao Cong and others naturally couldn't be left behind, and they also began to wash Jia Zheng's feet...

For a while, the custom of washing the elders' feet in the capital slowly spread, and spread to the southern Fucheng, and it lasted for several months before it slowly stopped.

Emperor Zhao only washed the Taishanghuang's feet once, in exchange for a piece of praise from the imperial censor that lasted through the ages, and gained the emulation of so many aristocrats and common people, he was very satisfied.

He nodded with a smile, and thought to himself: This is considered to be a meritorious service by that kid in Jia's mansion!
