Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

The Lin family had no other activities of forming cliques for personal gain. Even the in-laws of the Jia family had some disputes over factions, and the family traditions were also different. Even if there was some kind of kinship in private, they could not get together in court. Ken can rest assured him.

Even Chongyu was busy doing business, doing things that other noble literati with imperial examination backgrounds were unwilling to do, which was actually good for the long-term life of the Lin family.

If the Lin family is so upright that they don’t associate with the nobles, but become the leader of the literati, they will also be suspected by the emperor. It’s not as good as now, those noble literati also feel that Lin Ruhai is not strict in teaching their children, and even let their sons stink of copper. , and he is not willing to have too much friendship with the Lin family. It is better for each other to maintain a decent and thoughtful officialdom.

Both factions dislike it, and they can only be lonely ministers, and it is best to be lonely ministers.

In fact, Daiyu and Baoyu got married, a son of a prince who can't be successful in literature and military, and can't be a prince, can also reassure the emperor.

It's all because Lin Ruhai felt that Baoyu sometimes couldn't bear the responsibility, and after all, he was too soft-tempered because of inner curtain, so he didn't give up his heart.

Then he heard Chongyu say a few more times about women who marry poorly and suffer in the backyard and have nowhere to complain, and knowing that Daiyu only has brother and sister affection for Baoyu, so he put this idea aside.

Besides, he already has a plan to retire to Guidi in the future, even if the emperor forbids him to take up an official position, he still has to stay away from the capital and return to Guidi, which is not his hometown, but which he is very familiar with after serving as an official for many years .

There is also Master Chongyu's assistance there, so there is no need to worry about many security issues.

Since he had such an idea, he also saw that the crown prince and the king of Nan'an had been making frequent movements during this period. Obviously, he couldn't wait any longer. Naturally, he was not in a hurry to choose a husband-in-law for Daiyu in the capital, and just left everything until In the future, it's better to let my daughter get closer to me after she gets married. On the one hand, I don't have to worry about too many people who praise the high and trample on the low in those places. Even if there are such people, they can't step on the head of his Lin family; The daughter went back to her mother's house for a walk.

But now his previous preparations are useless.

But what Daiyu likes is Baochai, and what is involved is only the Xue family, which is already closely related to the Lin family, so it is not like she likes Baoyu. The relationship goes one step further.

Now this situation is indeed relatively easy to solve.

If it weren't for the fact that the matter of the two girls couldn't have been hidden from Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, Xue Biao and others, Lin Ruhai could even have faked her death just like Jia Yucun sentenced Xue Pan's death lawsuit.

But thinking about the relationship between Ren Baochai and Daiyu, and the possibility of keeping it from the Xue family in the future, Lin Ruhai could only put this thought away first.

He couldn't ask Baochai to cut off all contact with his family for Daiyu's sake, and this would only make the two girls' lives much better in the future.

Furthermore, now Xue Pan already has some business in Guidi, and the place where he lives is quite close to the residence that Lin Ruhai is currently preparing.

Lin Ruhai was thinking about it, Chongyu smiled slightly and said: "Father didn't pay attention, but I think Brother Baoyu may not be able to last long in this rich and noble place."

Lin Ruhai shouted in a deep voice: "How can you talk like that?"

Chongyu's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I'm not saying that brother Baoyu is short-lived, but that his heart is not in the world of mortals, and he will eventually jump out of the world of mortals."

When he said this, what Chongyu thought in his heart was that even if Baoyu in this time and space he was in had never had any thoughts, he must try to win Baoyu to have such thoughts.

If not, how would he find a reason for Daiyu and Baochai to be together so that the world would recognize and even praise their time?

Only when Baoyu is not around can the reason he thinks be established and be passed on as a good story by others.

If Baoyu is there, it can only cause more troubles.

Since there is a possibility in the original book that Baoyu has an epiphany and abandons the world of mortals, he also once saw Baoyu in a dazed state, so this possibility is not impossible.

It seems a little sorry for Baoyu, but considering Baoyu's many protections for his daughter's family, Chongyu can only pretend that Baoyu knows this, and will be willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill Baochai and Daiyu.

Chongyu thinks she has a lot of self-comfort, but that's all.

But it seems that the Jia family has no hasty idea of ​​marrying Baoyu. Maybe there are still a few years, enough to cause many disturbances. Even as the Zhen family has been ransacked, more things will happen soon, maybe Before he had to do anything, Baoyu himself had already given birth to the idea of ​​being out of the world.

"Jump out of the world of mortals?" Lin Ruhai frowned and murmured.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

Lin Ruhai regained his senses and motioned Chongyu to open the door.

Mo Zongliang walked in from the door and said with a smile: "When I just walked over, I happened to hear what your father and son said earlier."

Lin Ruhai sighed: "I am laughing at you, none of these two children in my family is worry-free."

Chongyu laughed along.

Mo Zongliang didn't care about these things, he just asked: "Chongyu, do you think that Baoyu from the Jia family wants to become a monk?"

"I don't dare to say how accurate it is, but I dare say that he may have such thoughts. It turned out that my father didn't know. Brother Baoyu went to Jinling with his second uncle earlier. Before that, I saw that he wanted to understand Buddhism. Zen, I left him three tips, and mentioned a few words when I sent him off, and when I saw him back, I didn’t see any hesitation when I went out, and I didn’t take it seriously for a while.”

What Chongyu said was true, Lin Ruhai believed it a little when he recalled the scene that day.

I heard Chongyu say again: "It's just that I saw a few posts he wrote some time ago, and I have a bit of enlightenment. I just remembered this."

Lin Ruhai asked, "Post?"

"It's already been burned, I just remember the content." Chongyu thought for a while, and then read out a paragraph of text from the original book from memory, "You prove me, your mind proves your mind, there is no proof, so It can be proved, there is no proof, it is based on the ground." (Note)

This text is in the original work, because Baoyu had a conflict with Daiyu and Xiangyun, she thought she wanted to mediate for Daiyu and Xiangyun, but ended up being blamed by both of them, and Baochai happened to listen to it. A piece of drama, after returning to my room, I wrote such a gatha.

In the original book, Baoyu also filled in a piece of "Parasitic Grass". Chongyu was afraid that his memory might be inaccurate.

"Brother Baoyu originally wrote something under this gatha, but he didn't want us to see it. That's why he was discovered, and this post was about to be burned. I don't know what's behind it. Since he refused Let us see, even if someone wants to ask him again, he will not admit it. But one day, when he realizes it, he will give up this worldly prosperity."

Both Lin Ruhai and Mo Zongliang were silent.

They can all see that there are many deficiencies in this gatha, but the desire to practice meditation and enlightenment revealed in it is true.

Lin Ruhai doubted for a moment whether it was written by Chongyu, and only pretended to be written by Baoyu. Based on his understanding of Chongyu, he firmly believed that this was not impossible for Chongyu.

However, thinking of Chongyu's consistent performance, Lin Ruhai was a little suspicious.

No matter how serious the stereotyped article is, it is possible to see who wrote it through some of the wording.It is easy to forge a person's text.It is difficult to disguise a person's work.

Chongyu has never been able to write such things, even if he wants to comprehend, he may not be able to comprehend words that are indeed very close to Baoyu's style.

If it is said that Chongyu has prepared early, it is not impossible.

But if Baoyu himself really has no intention of becoming a monk, no matter what Ren Chongyu told him, he couldn't change Baoyu's mind.

"That's all." Lin Ruhai decided not to delve into it further, "Tell me, if Baoyu really becomes a monk in the future, how are you going to let your sister and that girl from the Xue family live together under the attention of the world?"

Chongyu was certain.

He knew that he had taken some risks just now, but it succeeded.

Lin Ruhai didn't pursue the reason for the gatha, let alone ask when he accidentally saw what Baoyu wrote, and if there were other people around him!

As for the fact that there is really no way for Baoyu to become a monk in a short period of time, then the word "drag" can be used.

After a while, did Baoyu become a monk?

Chongyu put away his malicious thoughts, and told his plans one by one.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai didn't speak for a long time.

Mo Zongliang pondered for a while, then patted his thigh and laughed: "That's a good idea! Maybe it will really become a good talk!"

After laughing, he said sternly, "As long as Baoyu is away and there is no other struggle, they can be fulfilled. If Baoyu is there, or if they have no intention of each other, this must not be done. Even if it can be done for you, Brother Ruhai In exchange for the reputation of keeping your promises and loving your dead wife deeply, you will definitely not want it."

It was also that night that something completely different happened in Xiqiong Courtyard.

The Yingchun sisters and Xiangyun all gathered in the Tanchun room.

Several people wanted to see Daiyu, but also thought that Daiyu's room was in chaos, and they were afraid of causing trouble when they went over at this time, and only Qiqi waited here, and everyone talked, so they could feel at ease a bit.

Xiangyun was the most anxious, walking around the room non-stop, still muttering: "This is really weird, seeing Sister Lin in the daytime, she is fine, why is it like this all of a sudden! One girl after another I went to inquire about the news, but I only heard some useless things back.”

It is really useless, except knowing that Mo Zongliang has been invited to take Daiyu's pulse, and knowing that Daiyu's room has been busy decocting medicine, and none of the little girls are going to rest, they are all waiting for orders at any time, and they are also inquiring. Not much more.

This matter can be big or small, if it is small, just toss it all night, maybe it will be better tomorrow.

If it's big...but no one dares to think about it.

Tanchun was still listening to the news from the maids and women, Xichun yelled at Xiangyun: "Sister Yun, don't go anymore, if you go on, I will be dizzy from you first."

Xiangyun stomped his feet, sat down and stood up uncontrollably: "No, I don't feel relieved if I don't walk more. Sister Bao went to Sister Lin, but she hasn't come back yet. Chongyu seems to have looked for Bao before. Sister, I don’t know what they are talking about!”

Just as Tanchun sent another woman to wait for news outside Daiyu's room, when he heard Xiangyun say this, he hurriedly turned around and asked, "Chongyu came to see Sister Bao?"

Previously, Yingchun and Xichun both came to her and wanted to discuss with her what to do, should they just wait in the Xiqiong courtyard, or should they also go to Daiyu's room to have a look, and she had sent someone to find Baochai.

But the little girl who stayed in Baochai's room at that time said that when Baochai arrived at Daiyu's place, Tanchun didn't know that Chongyu had been there before.

It was only when Xiangyun lived closest to Debaochai that he noticed more news.

"That's right! I wondered why Chongyu only came to look for Sister Bao and didn't come to ask us." Xiangyun continued to pace the room while talking, "Why don't we go and have a look? No matter Lin What's going on with my sister now, I always feel at ease when I see it with my own eyes."
