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

Baoyu was ill, and very seriously ill.

"No! You are not allowed to marry Sister Lin, Sister Lin is mine! Mine!"

Baoyu was in a trance, with a pale complexion, crying on the bed, "Old Ancestor, let him go! Let him go!"

"Okay, okay!" Mother Jia called out her sweetheart to wipe her tears, and quickly waved to Baocong, "Your brother is sick like this, you are obedient, go out first!"

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, and said to Bao Cong: "This room is full of medicine smell, you still have to prepare for the imperial examination, don't stay here, go back to study."

Bao Cong, who was only standing at the door of the house, stood expressionlessly and coldly.At this time, he heard Mrs. Jia Muwang pushing him out of the house without looking back.

The girls at the door only felt a gust of cold wind blowing past, they all shook their bodies desolately, lowered their heads even more, and their skin tightened.

It wasn't because of the cold weather, but because of the low air pressure around Baocong's body.

In the room, Xiren half-supported Baoyu and comforted him anxiously: "Baoyu, the third master has gone out, he has gone out, don't worry."

Baoyu pulled Xiren, with a terrified expression on his face: "Xiren, what you said is all false, right? How did Baocong get engaged to Sister Lin? Sister Lin should marry me, isn't she going to return my tears? Why do you want to get engaged to Bao Cong?"

With tears in his eyes, Xiren couldn't speak, so he looked at Jia Mu in bewilderment.

Jia's mother rushed forward and comforted her, "I'm not engaged, and your sister Lin is not engaged!"

When Baoyu heard this, he was overjoyed, took a breath, and said happily, "I knew that Sister Lin only had me in her heart. How could she be nice to others?"

While talking, Baoyu slowly calmed down, lay on the bed, muttered to himself suddenly, and fell asleep.

Seeing Baoyu like this, Jia's mother regretted it to death!

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have assigned Daiyu to Baocong early, and made Baoyu sick like this.

Then she changed her mind, if according to her previous plan, Daiyu was assigned to Baoyu, would Baocong get sick?

From childhood to adulthood, Baocong has been more attached to Daiyu than Baoyu, will she...

Mother Jia shook her head hurriedly, and murmured: "No, no, that kid is always in good health, didn't he not get sick this time?"

Strange to say, when Baoyu heard the news that Baocong and Lin Daiyu were engaged, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and became in a trance, too sick to get out of bed.But there is nothing wrong with Bao Cong...

Mother Jia sighed, what a pity.

Bao Cong and Lin Daiyu got engaged with such great fanfare, and they definitely can't change it, otherwise a big family like theirs would have to be laughed at by the whole capital!

How can she be worthy of her ancestors if she loses the reputation her ancestors earned so hard because of this?

Jiamu has been guarding Baoyu's side all day and night, crying from time to time, looking very haggard.

Mrs. Wang was worried that she would be ill, so she persuaded Jia's mother: "Ancestor, Baoyu is much better now, you should go back and have a rest, eat something, there is a daughter-in-law here to watch!"

Mother Jia was about to refuse, but when she raised her head, she felt a little dizzy, and it took her a while to recover.

Yuanyang hurriedly supported her, and persuaded: "Old lady, go back first, I will wait for you to change your clothes and eat something. If you break down like this, Second Master Bao will know when he wakes up, I don't know how distressed he is!"

Mother Jia supported her forehead, nodded, and took advantage of Yuanyang to support her hand, and stood up after a few times of effort.

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and sighed: "I'm really old, I can't bear it after such a long time."

He told Mrs. Wang again and again that if there was any movement in Baoyu, she would call the maids to inform her.

Mrs. Wang sent Jia Mu out and comforted her: "Don't worry, the old ancestor. Those invited doctors are waiting in the side room. Baoyu will be fine."

That's what I said, but Mrs. Wang was actually very worried.

She didn't understand very well, how could Baoyu be sick because of Lin Daiyu?

Although Baoyu has liked Lin Daiyu since she was a child, but it has always been the kind of love that an older brother has for a younger sister.

If we talk about the relationship between men and women, what about Xiangyun?What about Baochai?What about attackers?Why is it that Lin Daiyu is ill?

When Lin Daiyu was her niece, Mrs. Wang did whatever she wanted.Now that she is going to be her second daughter-in-law, she doesn't feel bad because Bao Cong likes it.

But now, Baoyu has become so sick because of Lin Daiyu, and Baocong has a black face every day because of this, and the two brothers have grown apart as soon as they see it. The more Mrs. Wang thinks about it, the more she feels that it is really unlucky to marry Lin Daiyu!

But now I can't go back on my word. Mrs. Wang can only pray to God and Buddha, hoping that Baoyu can get better soon.

A few days ago, Aunt Xue had already looked for a house, and moved out of Rongguo Mansion with Xue Pan, and she was going to take Baochai back in two days.

Mrs. Wang was originally willing, after all, the two families were looking for an opportunity to meet.But now that Baoyu is ill, she doesn't want Baochai to move out early.

Baochai lived in the Grand View Garden, and in the name of sister and relative, it was easier to visit Baoyu every day.If she moved out of Rongguo Mansion, it would be shameful for her to visit her cousin every day as an unmarried woman.

Mrs. Wang privately thought that as long as Baochai hangs around in front of Baoyu every day, maybe Baoyu can forget Lin Daiyu!

Bao Cong returned to his yard, very depressed, and couldn't help swearing.

The good mood of being engaged to Lin Daiyu was completely destroyed!

Baoyu didn't know which tendon was wrong, but suddenly he was so interested in Lin Daiyu that he vomited blood.

He was obviously drunk before and said that he wanted to marry Lin Daiyu, so Baoyu argued a few words, and then he dragged Xiangyun when Xiangyun came, and wandered around Baochai when Baochai came.

How come at this juncture, if Lin Daiyu married someone else, he would be very sick?

Bao Cong thought about it left and right and felt that something was wrong. He suspected that someone was playing tricks behind his back, so he asked Wu Hui to investigate secretly to see if there was anything strange around Baoyu recently.

At night, Baoyu woke up and made another fuss.

Obviously he was thirsty and hungry, his mind was in a daze, and he kept calling Lin Daiyu's name.

Xiren fed him water, soup, and rice porridge, but he didn't eat a mouthful and vomited them all out.

Mrs. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were very anxious. Wang Xifeng thought it over and hesitated and said, "Baoyu calls Miss Lin like this. Why don't you ask Miss Lin to come and see him again? Maybe it will be all right."

Lin Daiyu had already visited Baoyu once before, and she did her best for her kinship.Now that she is engaged to Bao Cong, she should not get too close to Bao Yu.

Wang Xifeng also knew that it would be inappropriate to ask Lin Daiyu to come over on such a late night, but she couldn't ask Baoyu to die of illness like this, right?

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, sighed, and said: "Ask someone to see if Yu'er has rested. If she hasn't fallen asleep, please invite her to come."

Compared with Baoyu's life and Lin Daiyu's reputation, Baoyu is naturally more important.

What's more, Lin Daiyu is engaged to Baocong and wants to marry into Jia's family. If the Jia family doesn't say anything, who dares to say Lin Daiyu!

Tortoise shell responded, and was about to go out, when Jia Mu hurriedly and solemnly instructed: "Go quietly, don't let others see."

"Yes." Tortoiseshell responded and went out.

Except for Xiren who coaxed Baoyu softly, the rest of the people were speechless for a while.

They all knew it was inappropriate, but for the sake of Baoyu, they had no choice but to do so.

As soon as the tortoise shell came out of the yard, it was blocked by Dong Ming who was guarding outside the yard.

"Sister tortoise, where are you going so late? How is the second master Bao inside? Are you awake?" Dongming blocked tortoise, refusing to let her go.

He deliberately stayed here with Baoyu.

Wu Hui was sent to investigate the matter, Chen Ping was busy with the caravan outside, and Bao Cong had only Qingshuang as his confidant, so Dong Ming rushed up and asked to guard Bao Yu's yard.

Compared with the other three, he came later, and he didn't have any great skills. Dongming thought that only by showing his face more, could he have a better future.

The hard work paid off, Dongming didn't eat lunch or dinner, but guarded the gate of the yard, and finally caught the tortoiseshell.

Because Jiamu told her that she wanted to go quietly to invite Lin Daiyu, tortoise didn't want to tell Dongming.

But Dong Ming is usually smiling, and there are always small things for her. Just now, she stuffed her with a piece of broken silver. She was too embarrassed to refuse, so she could only vaguely say: "Second Master Bao is awake and refuses to eat. If you want a girl to visit him, the old lady asked me to invite him quietly..."

After saying that, the tortoise shell hurriedly led the little girls away.

Dongming frowned and wondered, which girl did Baoyu miss at this late hour, and why did the old lady ask tortoise to invite her secretly?

Suddenly he thought of something, Dong Ming ran to Bao Cong's place, and told him about the tortoise shell's invitation to the Grand View Garden.

As soon as Bao Cong heard it, he knew that Tortoise Shell was going to invite Lin Daiyu, so he stopped walking and walked towards the side gate of the Grand View Garden.

Dong Ming still followed Bao Cong, muttering: "Third Master, I see that Second Master Bao is very sick this time. Maybe Second Master pretended to be ill to disturb your marriage because he didn't want to see you and Miss Lin are well! "

Bao Cong stopped immediately, and said coldly, "Shut up!"

Dongming was taken aback and hurriedly fell silent.

"Forgive you this time, let me hear such words in the future, you go and get twenty boards yourself!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Although it was night and the lanterns were dim, Dong Ming continued to light the lights and saw the seriousness and coldness on Bao Cong's face, so he trembled and slapped himself.

Who is the third master?

What he hates most is that other people chew their tongues and don't know how to measure it!

Dongming secretly awakened himself, but he must not lose this hard-earned future just because of his cheap talk.

When he arrived at the side gate of the Grand View Garden, Bao Cong waited for a while, and sure enough, he saw the tortoise leading Lin Daiyu out.

Lin Daiyu was wearing a cloak and a veiled hat, and she was huddled inside.

As soon as she came out, she saw Bao Cong standing by the side door, she was startled, and then she was at a loss.

Obviously, it was the old lady who asked her to see Baoyu. As Baoyu's younger sister, she went to see how Baoyu was doing, and it was fine... But when she saw Baocong, Lin Daiyu didn't know what was going on. Feeling guilty and wronged, I want to cry when my nose is sour.

Unexpectedly, Bao Cong took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to take her hand, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go there together."

Then he led her to Baoyu's yard.

Lin Daiyu walked slowly, glancing at Bao Cong from time to time, seeing that he looked normal and was still smiling at her, she suddenly felt less nervous.

"Brother Baocong, you..." Lin Daiyu tugged at Baocong's hand hesitantly, "Are you angry?"

Bao Cong pretended to be surprised and turned his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not angry, why should I be angry?"

Lin Daiyu whispered: "I, we...are we engaged? I, I went to see Baoyu so late, isn't it good..."

Of course Bao Cong knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and moved his fingers, stroked Lin Daiyu's delicate hand, and said: "It's not you who went to see him, but we. He is sick, we should go and see him , what's wrong?"

Now Lin Daiyu knew that Bao Cong was really not angry, and immediately felt relieved.

She also smiled, and shook Bao Cong's hand back, feeling sweet in her heart.

Because of their engagement, the two of them haven't seen each other much since Bao Cong moved out of Grand View Garden.This time, thanks to Baoyu's illness, the two of them could see each other a few times.

Baocong and Lin Daiyu went to Baoyu's place hand in hand. Mrs. Wang saw Baocong and followed her, feeling very complicated.

It's just that Baoyu is still making trouble in the room, and she is not in the mood to say anything, so she just asks the girl to lead Lin Daiyu in.

Bao Cong stood coldly on the porch at the door of the house, only saluted Mrs. Wang, and then stared at the moon in a daze, without any intention of entering the house.

Madam Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Baoyu always yelled excitedly when she saw Baocong, and she was still thinking about how to tell Baocong not to enter the house. Baocong didn't want to enter the house, so she didn't have to rack her brains to find a way to block it.

In the room, Lin Daiyu sat on a stool about ten steps away from the bed, and advised Baoyu to eat porridge and drink medicine.

When Baoyu saw that Lin Daiyu was as well-behaved as a baby, she stopped making troubles and talking nonsense. She just laughed and did whatever she asked her to do.

When everyone saw it, they were all surprised.

Baoyu woke up several times, and every time he didn't make a scene that filled the room, Lin Daiyu came to persuade him, but he was so obedient.

Both Jiamu and Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that if Baoyu had been so well-behaved, she would recover sooner.

After sitting with Lin Daiyu for more than half an hour, Baoyu fell asleep, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Jia Muwang and went back to rest.Unexpectedly, when she turned around, Baoyu screamed again: "Sister Lin, where are you going? Don't leave, Baocong is going to rob you! Don't let him rob you! Don't let him rob you!"

Lin Daiyu was startled, and quickly retreated to the door of the house. Baocong opened the door, and happened to see Baoyu on the bed making a fuss again.Xiren and Jia Mu were all comforting by the side, but it didn't help.

Seeing Lin Daiyu and Bao Cong standing together, Baoyu became even more excited and shouted to get off the bed!

Seeing this, Bao Cong quickly led Lin Daiyu out who was still in shock.

"Baoyu, is he alright?" Lin Daiyu asked anxiously.

Bao Cong smiled at her and comforted her: "It's okay, he will be fine later."

Sure enough, there was a lot of commotion in the house, and the attacker persuaded Baoyu that Lin Daiyu was not in good health and wanted to go back to rest, so Baoyu became quieter.

It's just that he still clamored to keep Zijuan, saying that Lin Daiyu must bring Zijuan with her when she gets married, and Lin Daiyu wants to go back to rest, but Zijuan can't go back.

Jiamu had no choice but to ask Zijuan to stay, and pointed to the tortoiseshell to serve Lin Daiyu temporarily.

Bao Cong sent Lin Daiyu back to the Grand View Garden to rest, but he couldn't sleep when he went back to the house.

When I saw Baoyu like that just now, I definitely didn't pretend to be sick, nor did I pretend to be in a trance.I don't know why it's so good?

Baocong remembered that when he and Baoyu were sick when they were young, Jia's mother invited Taoist Zhang Daochang from Qingfengguan to come over to do things.This world is weird, could it be that Daoist Zhang is really capable?

Baoyu's illness this time may be because he likes Lin Daiyu, but Baocong always feels a little disobedient.

"Come here!" Bao Cong couldn't figure it out, so he called Dong Ming in and said, "Go to Qingshuang's place to pay 500 taels of silver, and send it to Daoist Zhang of Qingfeng Temple, and ask him to come and see Baoyu, is there a collision?" What. It's better to let him think of some excuses, comfort the old lady and the wife, and persuade Baoyu..."

Having said that, Bao Cong paused, looked at Dong Ming and said, "How to persuade, what to persuade, do you know?"

Dongming nodded again and again: "I know I know!"

So, he went to Qingshuang's place overnight to pay the money, planning to go to Qingfeng Temple to invite someone before dawn the next day.

Zhang Laodao is getting old, so he can't easily go to the Taoist temple.

But Rongguo Mansion came to invite him, and there was money to offer, Zhang Laodao still asked Xiaodaotong to pack his things, got into a carriage and came to Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang knew that it was Zhang Laodao who came to the door, they hurriedly invited them in.

Zhang Laodao got Dongming's instructions in advance, so he looked at Baoyu pretendingly, burned some messy spells and muttered something, then opened his mouth and said nonsense to Jiamu: "I see the situation of the second master. It should be that there is a happy event in the house. Simple and clean, accidentally confused by Yuelao's red line, misjudged my own marriage!"

No wonder it's so good, Baoyu is clamoring to marry Lin Daiyu!

Jia Mu suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked: "What should I do? He has been making trouble all day long, how can we solve it?"

Zhang Laodao looked inscrutable, and said flickeringly: "Exactly, there are two twins in your house. Originally, the second master was the eldest, so we should get married first. Now it is the third master who made the marriage first. These two masters, Zhang With the appearance of a fairy and a brother, wouldn't it be easy for Yue Lao, who is holding the red thread, to admit his mistake!"

"The second master just touched the red line by mistake, so it's okay. When I go back to build a dojo and clarify this matter with Yuelao, the second master will be fine." Zhang Laodao said with a smile: "But when the second master wants to get married , the family still needs to do some ritual work in the dojo, so it is best to inform Yuelao in advance!"

I made a dojo once, and booked two more dojos. What a reward!Zhang Laodao secretly praised himself for being smart.

Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang trusted Zhang Laodao very much, and when they saw him say this, they felt a big stone in their hearts.

Jia's mother said again and again: "I just said that Baoyu is so sick! It's useless to invite so many doctors and take so many medicines! Daoist Zhang knew what was going on as soon as he came. He is really a nobleman of Baoyu!"

Mrs. Wang was also very happy, and immediately gave Taoist Zhang 100 taels of silver, and asked the girl to lead him to open a list to make things for the dojo.

Zhang Laodao held the 100 taels of silver given by Mrs. Wang in his arms, and shook his head in contempt.

It's not as good as the 500 taels of silver given by Master Bao!

But think about it, a small mosquito is also a meat, and he can spend a long time on 100 taels.

Zhang Laodao nodded again in his heart, getting more balanced.

This time, he only listened to the third master's order to fool people. The third master said he would protect him, so he didn't have to worry that if something happened, he would pack up and run away.

Bao Cong stayed up all night without sleep, and went directly to study in the study outside in the morning.In the afternoon, he braced himself to practice his calligraphy, and waited for Dongming to go to Baoyu's courtyard to inquire about news.

Dongming replied that neither Jia's mother nor Mrs. Wang doubted Zhang Laodao's words, they were already preparing the dojo for blessing, and Baoyu was fine with Zicuckoo serving her, and there was not much trouble.

After hearing this, Bao Cong felt relieved, overwhelmed by overwhelming exhaustion, fell down on the small bed in the study, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the dream, he seemed to hear someone calling.

"Baoyu! Baoyu!" A childish voice called Baoyu.

Just listen to Baoyu's ignorant reply: "Who are you? Where are you?"

The voice said sharply: "Don't you know who I am? We were born together and grew up together. I hang around your neck every day, and you still don't know who I am?"

Bao Cong suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, then got up quickly and ran to Baoyu's courtyard.

The girls were probably tired, and they all dozed off in the corridor.

In the house, Mrs. Wang is not there, maybe she went back to change clothes and eat.

Xiren propped his head on the round table, head bit by bit, and fell asleep in a daze.

Bao Cong looked at Baoyu's bed, Baoyu had already woken up, and was looking down at the psychic jade hanging on his chest.

Seeing Bao Cong coming in, he raised his head and said, "Bao Cong, come and see, this piece of jade is actually glowing red!"

Apart from pale complexion, the whole person has bright eyes, is clean and simple, and is in good spirits.He yelled when he didn't see him, and didn't yell for Lin Daiyu.

Bao Cong clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, pretending nothing happened, and stepped forward to look at the piece of jade.

"Sure enough, it's glowing red..." Bao Cong said lightly.

But Baoyu was very happy, as if he had found a new toy, he took the piece of jade off the collar and played with it, and said curiously: "It called me just now, and it was talking to me!"

"Baoyu! Baoyu! Did you just talk to me?" Baoyu babbled at the piece of jade.

The piece of jade didn't speak, but the red light shrank back, as if it was afraid of something.

Baocong looked at the piece of jade, thoughtfully, and asked Baoyu, "What did it say just now?"

Baoyu thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "I can't remember clearly either. I seem to say that I should like Sister Lin, and I can't let you snatch her away."

As he spoke, he looked at Bao Cong suspiciously and said, "It's really strange. I like Sister Lin. You want to rob Sister Lin? Why are you robbing Sister Lin? Sister Lin is a person, not an object. She will be angry when she finds out. "

"?" Bao Cong looked at Bao Yu carefully and became more and more puzzled.

Baoyu's expression was completely different from when he was sick before, and there was no love between men and women in his words, as if Lin Daiyu was his sister Lin.

Not knowing what was going on, Bao Cong looked at the red-glowing jade and felt more and more suspicious.So he asked tentatively, "Baoyu, have you forgotten?"

"Sister Lin and I are engaged, and you vomit blood and get sick because of it. You have been sick for several days, have you forgotten?"

"Ah?" Baoyu was really puzzled when he heard this: "I'm sick? I, I don't know, I feel tired from studying, and I seem to have fallen asleep."

He was surprised and asked Bao Cong: "You and sister Lin are engaged? When did it happen? Why don't I remember anything?"

Seeing that Baoyu wasn't angry at all, didn't say any objection, and didn't yell that he was not allowed to rob Lin Daiyu, Baocong's eyes moved to Baoyu's hand.

The piece of jade was stared at by Bao Cong's icy eyes, and the red light all over his body suddenly lit up, and then the red light quickly shrank again, trembling and trembling, as if he was extremely frightened.

Bao Cong smiled suddenly, and said to Bao Yu: "Just a few days ago, you were sick, and it's normal not to know. When you recovered from your illness, the old lady and the wife said they would make an engagement for you. After all, you are Brother, you have to get married before me."

Baoyu blushed when she heard this, and said in embarrassment, "I, I... I'm still young, right?"

After finishing speaking, I suddenly felt that something was not right.

If he is too young to get married, then it will drag Bao Cong and Lin Daiyu to be unable to get married, so he sneered a few more words, shyly said: "That... I don't know which girl I will marry. "

Baocong now understands that it is this piece of jade that made Baoyu feel so inexplicable and in a trance before.

He can bear the weirdness of this nagging world, but he will never allow these messy things to dare to disturb his life!

He is a good boy who grew up in the scientific world and resolutely opposes feudal superstition!

So Baocong sneered, stretched out his hand from Baoyu's hand, took the piece of jade, and held it in his hand.

The jade statue was startled, and the red light was shining, as if it was struggling.

But Bao Cong wrapped the whole jade in his hand, covering up the red light of the jade.

He smiled and asked Baoyu, "This piece of jade was born with you, and I was also born with you. If you can only choose one, do you want jade or me?"

Baoyu was surprised, and said in confusion: "You are asking this question really strangely. You are my brother. Why would I not want you for a piece of jade? Besides, no one else has this jade. Why should I want it?"

From childhood to adulthood, Baoyu didn't like that piece of jade, and only other people in Jia's house regarded this piece of jade as a treasure.

Although Bao Cong is a boy, Bao Yu doesn't like Bao Cong who always stares at him, threatens him, and even teaches him, but... Bao Cong is still his brother!

After hearing Baoyu's reply, Baocong was happy.

He put the jade into his arms and said happily: "Then put this piece of jade here first, and I will bring it back to you later."

With that said, he left the house with jade in his pocket.

Baoyu felt bewildered and yawned twice. Feeling very tired for no reason, she fell asleep again.

Bao Cong went back to his yard with the jade in his arms, looked at the jade carefully in the study a few times, then pointed it with his fingers, and said coldly: "You can talk, can't you?"

Yu remained silent and pretended to be dead.
