Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Today, the letter sent by Jia Zheng again focused on the matter of Baoyu.

Jia Zheng didn't realize that Baoyu, with Mingyan's help, collected many miscellaneous books to read, which delayed his studies.

In Jia Zheng's view, Baoyu became more and more unable to support him.Seeing that she has come into contact with so many scholars, Baoyu is still the brat who doesn't like reading.

Jia Yucun, alone in front of Jia Zheng, looks for opportunities for Baoyu to perform.Even other people around Jia Zheng, whoever wanted to please Jia Zheng, would think of working hard from Baoyu.Whether it is to ease the conflict between Baoyu and Jia Zheng due to Baoyu's knowledge, or to make Baoyu or Jia Zheng satisfied, anyway, they have plenty of ways to please them.

But every time Jia Zheng calmed down, especially when he was alone, he could clearly feel that Baoyu had made little progress in the Four Books.In the eyes of Jia Zheng, how can the idleness of couplet poems be regarded as serious articles?

In particular, Jia Zheng remembered that Lin Ruhai had told him before that if Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage proposed by Jia Min before his death were to come true, no matter what, Baoyu had to be successful in the exam.Jia Zheng knew even more that the false fame that Baoyu had earned now was nothing in Lin Ruhai's eyes.

In the letter Jia Zheng sent this time, he planned to give up the marriage contract between the two families that Jia Min had said before his death.

He no longer expects Baoyu to go to the test of merit by himself, but seeing that Baoyu has been away from home and has been ill for a long time, now he only hopes that Baoyu will be healthier when he returns home. In the future, he will rely on his own status to seek a supervisor for Baoyu , that's all.

Ruhai read the letter several times before ordering Chongyu to come.

At this time, Chongyu just came back from outside.Today he had already made an appointment with a captain capable of long-distance sailing, and he would meet with Xue Biao again, so as to prepare for the sea caravan sent by his firm in the future.Who knows that Baoyu came back suddenly today, Mrs. Wang recognized Baoqin as her daughter, and Baoqin is Xue Biao's younger sister. After all, Xue Biao and Baoyu are also somewhat related, so Xue Biao was invited by Rongfu In the past, I had to Chongyu himself, and had a good chat with the captain for a while about future plans.

The captain really knew a lot about the situation in overseas countries, and he only regretted that he had lost his backer in the past. Under the current conditions, if he couldn't find a business company qualified to go to sea, he could only put away his desire to go to sea.However, he also has some love for the sea, and after many twists and turns, he and Chongyu got into a relationship, which happened to suit Chongyu's wishes.

Chongyu's previous knowledge of overseas was also limited. Based on the memory of his previous life, the guesses he made about this time and space are certainly in line with the general trend, but the details are rarely consistent.Today, after hearing what the captain said, he was about to revise his previous plan, but when he returned home, he was invited to the study by Ru Hai.

Ruhai saw that he looked a little tired, without him saying anything, he shook his head and sighed: "Are you going to start your Shuangmu business again?"

Many matters of the firm have to be borrowed from the power of the Lin family, so it is naturally impossible for Chongyu to hide it from Ruhai.

Hearing this, Chongyu laughed and said, "Daddy, you don't have to wait long, just this year ago, my firm's first overseas trade will probably be completed, and then you will know how profitable my firm is! "

But Ru Hai still shook his head and said: "Student, where does this smell of copper come from? You only talk about money, you only know about business, but you don't know that businessmen are the lowest class?"

Chongyu was startled.

But it was really the first time he heard such words from Ru Haikou.

He said earlier that he wanted to set up a commercial firm, and Ru Hai supported him anyway, otherwise he would not be so smooth now.Why did you suddenly change your attitude?

Ru Hai said again: "You also know that those high-ranking officials look down on merchants the most, even if they have property in their families, they are most afraid of mentioning these, for fear that if they say a few more words, their identity will be stained. Are you still You have never been an official, and you have never even taken the provincial examination, but you are studying. If your classmates want to hear that you are the real master behind a business, I am afraid they will look down on you. If you enter the official career, you will not know How many people will use this to attack you. Do you really care?"

At this point, Chong Yufang suddenly realized.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What do I have to be afraid of? As Daddy said, among those families, who really has no property at all? Besides, what I want to buy are all good things from overseas. They ask me to sell things to them, so I can’t tell! The smell of copper? Huh! This is what I hate most about them! Everyone, no one really doesn’t love money. To enjoy it is more luxurious than anyone else. , What are you talking about copper stink? If this is true, they are the most stinky."

Ruhaifang laughed, beckoned Chongyu to come over, and sat down beside her.

He not only knows that Chongyu has a great mind, but also knows that the situation in the capital is unstable and there are often changes. Therefore, after returning to Beijing, he often has to discuss something, and he will not deliberately avoid Chongyu, and even take the initiative to learn with Chongyu, so In his own study, there is also Chongyu's chair.

Seeing Chongyu sit down, he handed the letter from Jia Zheng to Chongyu.

"You read it first, and then talk about your thoughts after reading it."

Chongyu was surprised when he recognized that it was written by Jia Zheng.Looking down, it is even more mixed feelings.

marriage?

This shouldn't be something he should have to think about at his age.Ruhai never talked about these topics with him in the past.

He was just worried that Daiyu would develop feelings for Baoyu, so he took precautions for Daiyu early.But if it weren't for Baoyu, he had no idea what would happen to Daiyu's future.

In his opinion, his older sister is so good, and there are very few people who are worthy of his older sister.That's all, after all, Ruhai is still there, so it won't be too difficult to find a good home for Daiyu in the future.Chongyu is most worried about whether Daiyu and her husband can have a conversation after marriage?In his mind, the most qualified brother-in-law may have poor status, but he must be able to take responsibility, be willing to pay for his sister, and be called his sister's confidant.

When Chongyu made friends with the sons of the aristocratic families in Beijing, or some scholars, he also secretly paid attention to them, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Now the letter mentioned Bao Dai's marriage, but it just stirred up his worries again.

After reading the letter, he pondered for a long time before looking up at Ru Haidao: "Father, say something inappropriate. I think it may not be appropriate to rely on parents' order and matchmaker's words in matters of marriage."

Ru Hai frowned, absolutely never expecting Chong Yu to have such shocking words.

Chongyu took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.

He knew that this was an opportunity he wanted to fight for Daiyu and for himself in the future.

After all... He really doesn't want to hear from Ruhai that someday in the future, he has already made a decision on a girl for him!

"Daddy, my son knows that with parents making the decisions, you can often find the right family. It is the matchmaker who has already considered the families and personalities of both parties. They must think it is suitable, and they even have to match each other. In the end, Only then will we get engaged. Hai'er believes that Daddy is definitely not the kind of person who will ignore the future of his children for the sake of profit. Hai'er should not have said these things to Daddy today, but..."

Chongyu has already seen that Ruhai's expression is different.

He gritted his teeth and continued: "Everyone in the world has their own temperament. If you only rely on the matchmaker, you may be able to match up with a family with a similar foundation such as wealth, but how can you say that you are truly like-minded? Can you share like-minded people? There are definitely not many good fates, but is it possible to ignore them at all because of their rarity?"

"When a woman gets married in her teens, she spends the rest of her life with her husband longer than she spends as a girl in her natal family. If the person she meets is not a good person, if the person she meets is not even able to speak together, Even if other conditions are suitable, can it be said to be happy?"

"I don't dare to say more about my sister's marriage. I am not a sister after all, and no matter how close I am to my sister, I dare not say that I fully understand her mind. But I know that my sister has only brother-sister affection for Brother Baoyu!"

This is what he has proved through his own efforts!

Looking at Daiyu before, she seemed to care about Baoyu very much, but now seeing that Daiyu and Baochai have made friends early, during this period of time, Baoyu is not much concerned about going out, and even mentioning Baoyu occasionally, there is still a bit of a sister who is naughty brother. Chongyu really dared to say that the possible love between Daiyu and Baoyu had been killed after all.

The two became brothers and sisters like this, and even with Baoyu's friendship between sisters, it was nothing if they were best friends.

But marriage?love?It is no longer possible!

"Brother Baoyu can make progress after he comes back. It doesn't matter if he is admitted to an official position through the real imperial examinations. If he can't make progress, he can only rely on his uncle's shadow. It doesn't matter if he is a benevolent supervisor. He and my sister are not suitable!"

In fact, what Chongyu said was too categorical, Ruhai couldn't help but be surprised by Chongyu's final momentum.

He frowned tightly, unable to stop thinking about what Chongyu said.

At the beginning, he did think about it, questioning Chongyu, whether he read some pornographic books and rumors outside, and changed his temperament, so he had such thoughts.

But later, he couldn't help but think of those sisters exchanging letters with Jia Min to complain before Jia Min got married when they were still alive.Although Jia Min died early, those sisters of Jia Min died earlier than Jia Min.

Why didn't Jia Min's sisters pick out the one they thought was the most suitable marriage partner after all the hard work in the family?

But later, Jia Min told him that those sisters of Jia Min were not happy after marriage.

Not only because Jia Min's sisters married into well-behaved families, but also had to serve mother-in-law and sister-in-law, etc., and her husband didn't have much to say to herself. As a wife, she could only look at her husband and love. The concubine laughed and talked frequently, and she only treated herself with a respectful indifference.

Lin Ruhai also knew that there was no conflict between Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, but in Jia Zheng's mind, he would only talk to Mrs. Wang about matters related to the family and that required his wife to come forward.The ones who can really joke with Jia Zheng are actually Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou.

Lin Ruhai thought that if he was really asked to find a marriage for Daiyu, he could only guarantee that Daiyu would have enough money to marry her in the future.

Could it be like Jia Min's sisters, but they are never happy all day long, even if they have children, they are still depressed because their daughters are only their juniors after all, and they can't talk about their worries?

Lin Ruhai couldn't guarantee it at all.

Chongyu watched Lin Ruhai's face change, and the big stone in his heart gradually fell to the ground.

Anyway, Lin Ruhai didn't reprimand him directly, but thought about his words!

Even if he is not enough to make Lin Ruhai change his mind too much now, as long as he can buy time and not make Lin Ruhai rush to get engaged, then he can slowly change Lin Ruhai's ideas.

This is doomed to rely on the grind of water.
