Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Back in Jia Mu's courtyard, Jia Mu hugged Baoyu and sat beside her, with tears in her increasingly cloudy eyes, but she didn't know what to say.

It was Baoyu who couldn't say anything for a while, but just snuggled up to Jiamu quietly.

Jia Zheng stood by, wanting to reprimand Baoyu, but he didn't know where to start.At first, I wanted to turn my worry about Baoyu into an accusation of Baoyu's ignorance, but my mother, wife, and brother-in-law Lin Ruhai were by my side, using such things that Baoyu could not have expected, to scold Baoyu for being ignorant and attract everyone Worrying seems unreasonable.

Finally, Jia's mother calmed down, and Baoyu began to talk and laugh as before, only occasionally seeing Jia Zheng who was still nearby, his eyes still a little dodgy.

Mother Jia felt sorry for her grandson, so she asked men like Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai to talk outside, so that their female relatives and Baoyu could feel more at ease.

After Jia Zheng left, Bao Yuguo felt much more comfortable, and the monkey smiled on Jia's mother: "My ancestors don't know. During these days, you looked a little confused, but I seemed to have visited many places and learned a lot. There are many novel things, but now that I think about it, I really feel that I was too shallow in the past."

Jia Mu was angry and laughed, and finally said with pity: "I told you on weekdays that your jade is the lifeline, but this time something happened to your jade, and no one found out."

As she said that, Mother Jia became really annoyed, and scolded: "I don't know how those girls in your room do things. Your jade luster is not as good as in the past. No one can see such an obvious thing! Is it the current rules?" If you don't notice it for a while, you don't know how much it is hidden from us, and you only take this as an example!"

When Jia's mother was angry, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "You can't blame the girls for their negligence. They don't have many chances to see this jade. Baoyu picks it off every night and puts it away again. It's worn the next day." Come on, how can those girls have a chance to find anything?"

Mother Jia was still angry, and asked again: "If I remember correctly, the attacker is responsible for this matter, right? Those little girls couldn't find out, and she didn't find out?"

Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "When you are going to sleep at night, you just light the lamp. How can you really see the luster of this jade? You can see it clearly in the daytime. This jade is also worn on Baoyu. Who can see Baoyu's body?" How about picking it up?"

Mother Jia's expression didn't ease much.

Baoyu smiled and said, "Let's not talk about them. Even if I wear this jade every day, I have never noticed its color change. Presumably this jade has a spirit. How can there be no way to deceive people's eyes and ears?"

Jia Mufang no longer pursued the matter.

Let's say that Jia Zheng led Lin Ruhai to his study, and when he talked about today's events, he couldn't help sighing.

Like Jia Mu, Jia Zheng already wanted to go to the girl in Baoyu's room.

He said angrily: "I heard that there are girls in Baoyu's room before, and I have already set up the number of aunts. If the two big girls were not given by the mother, the other little girls would not be able to live every day like the big girls." Being close to Baoyu doesn't bother me, so I've cleaned up the girls around him! Now that Baoyu is like this, those girls don't know if they are just afraid of being punished, but they want to help Baoyu to deceive us! "

The two gradually talked about the upcoming autumn hunt.

Lin Ruhai is also eligible to accompany, and because of Yuanchun's relationship with Jia's family, Jia Zheng and Jia She can also follow.

As Jia Zheng spoke, he mentioned that Jia Amnesty and the Sun family had been very close recently.Although the Sun family and the Jia family are considered family friends, it was only because the ancestors of the Sun family saw the power of the Rongning and Ning families that they worshiped for unresolved matters.The Sun family is not a famous family of poetry and rites.

Now the Sun family only has Sun Shaozu in Beijing alone, but before Yuanchun became a concubine, he had little contact with the Jia family, such as Baoyu, who has never met Sun Shaozu.After all, it is now that the writing about Yuanchun's pregnancy is gradually spreading, and Sun Shaozu's contacts with Jia's family are becoming more and more frequent.

The Sun family used to only admire power, and Sun Shaozu behaved the same way now. Jia Zheng hated the Sun family, and Sun Shaozu had a lot of contacts with Jia She. Sun Shaozu liked it very much, and he refused to listen to Jia Zheng's persuasion, so Jia Zheng had no choice but to let it go, but now seeing Lin Ruhai coming, he made a few more remarks.

Lin Ruhai also knew that Sun Shaozu had some problems, but he and Jia Zheng could talk a few words, but he and Jia Amnesty had a lot of disagreements, even Jia Zheng's persuasion was useless, let alone what he said.

After talking about Sun Shaozu, Jia Zheng asked about the rumors that had spread widely in Beijing and China recently.Yuanchun's handwritten order was for Baoyu and Baochai to give marriages, and Jia Min's last wish was to hope that Daiyu and Baoyu would get married when they grow up... These rumors are too true. Although there are many versions of the details, the general content is not biased .

Jia Zheng really wondered for a while, and worried whether this matter would affect Daiyu.

Lin Ruhai would never admit that he was the real source of these rumors, and only sighed: "I don't know who first spread this story, but now it's spread so well that even girl Dai has heard about it. That child I have always thought about her mother, and I heard it was her mother's last wish, but now I really don't want to go against her mother's last wish."

Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "How can you wrong your niece?"

"She has a good relationship with that girl of the Xue family, but she doesn't even care about her status. I heard those people say that E Huang Nv Ying, if her two sisters are really like this, maybe it's a good idea." Lin Ruhai Sighing again, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, Baoyu is not in a hurry to get married now, and Daiyu is still young. In two years, the children's affairs will change a lot, and we don't have to make decisions for them now." .Children's marriage, their own fate."

Lin Ruhai's words were to comfort Jia Zheng's heart, but he wanted to comfort himself even more.

Even if he is more open-minded than ordinary scholar-officials, after he knows the relationship between Daiyu and Baochai, he still has a hard time in his heart.

If it wasn't for Daiyu's infirmity and recuperation for many years, it's rare to see some improvement now. Once she thinks hard, she might have to take medicine all day long and she won't get better; and if it wasn't for Chongyu's help and persuasion, the happiness of the children is always the children's. Feeling, I am afraid that he will try his best to prevent Daiyu from seeing Baochai again, how can he secretly help the two create the possibility of being together for a long time in the future?

Lin Ruhai was indeed busy with business, so his family did not stay in Rongguo Mansion for long.

Back at Lin's house, Chongyu followed Daiyu back to the room with a smile.

When Baochai learned that Zhen Baoyu had arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu's family had already set off, so she had to wait in Daiyu's room.

Daiyu's parrot had no longer needed to be locked in a birdcage. If the parrot got up and flew around, it would know how to return to the cage at dusk at the latest.Today, some girls also opened the door of the birdcage and let it fly out to play.

So when Daiyu came back, the parrot knew about it earlier than the girls, and flew back with flapping wings and shouted: "The girl is back, the girl is back!"

Baochai was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to meet him outside the door.

Before Daiyu came in, Chongyu rushed ahead and said with a smile, "Sister Bao!"

Baochai was taken aback by his sudden cry.

Daiyu walked more slowly, Fang turned around from behind Chongyu, pushed Chongyu reproachfully and said, "You're messing around again."

Chongyu hurriedly called Qu: "Where do I have it! You say that about me, stop! I won't tell you what I saw outside Rongfu, about Miaoyu and Zhen Baoyu."

He said, turned around and lifted his legs, and was about to go outside.

Daiyu pursed her lips, but instead of pulling him, she looked at Baochai.

Seeing this, Baochai stretched out his hand to hold Chongyu and said with a smile, "Brother Chong, why bother! Since you're all here, why not sit down and have a sip of tea, and tell me what you saw before you go on to do other things."

Chongyu sighed: "You are the one who spoils my sister! Aren't you afraid that the more you spoil her, the more she will become more self-satisfied and unscrupulous?"

Daiyu stared at him, so he smiled and went to sit in the room first.

After Chongyu finished talking about seeing Miaoyu and Zhen Baoyu leave together, he guessed that Daiyu and Baochai should have something else to say, so he didn't stay long and consciously left them alone.

Daiyu also told about Baoyu, and they were very emotional again.

Previously in Jia's house, Daiyu had seen something wrong with Baoyu's performance, but she felt that Baoyu's obedience in front of Jia's mother and others seemed to be deeply guilty because of his plans in the future. Make amends by behaving as well as possible.

But Jia's family has been worried about Baoyu for a long time, and now Jia's mother finally let go of her worries about Baoyu, Daiyu really dare not say such things to them at this time.

Back home, seeing Baochai, Daiyu had no worries at all, so she told all her worries about Baoyu.

Baochai was secretly surprised. She glanced at the door and saw that there was no one there. Fang asked in a low voice, "When Chongyu was here, why didn't you tell him that? You and I can't help you with Baoyu's affairs. Chongyu Maybe there's something else to do."

Daiyu sighed softly: "How can you not guess? The rumors in Beijing are so hot now, but I don't believe you don't know! Only after my father and the others knew about you and me, these things suddenly came out. Rumor..."

Daiyu's heart is very deep.

She naturally hopes to be with Baochai for a longer time, but for Baoyu, what is the best?

Baochai puts her arms around Daiyu lightly.

Daiyu fell into her arms.

Only Baochai's low voice was heard.

"Perhaps Chongyu just saw Baoyu's nature earlier than us. A person like Baoyu, apart from imperial examinations, he can do anything."

After all, Baochai couldn't help sighing: "In the past, when my elder brother was still alive, I helped my mother and often persuaded my elder brother to improve. Anyway, I persuaded my elder brother, and my elder brother would listen to it. At any rate, I would improve for a while. But everyone Everyone persuades Baoyu, but who can really persuade Baoyu to achieve results? In my opinion, no matter what Baoyu chooses in the future, it will only be his own path. If he is not willing, it is his own choice, others say No amount of it can change him."

Baochai's words really persuaded Daiyu.

What Daiyu was most worried about was what her father or younger brother would do to Baoyu for their own sake.

But if all of that was Baoyu's choice, and the father or younger brother did not lure Baoyu to take another road away from the world for their own sake, then it would be different.
