Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Jia's mother forced a smile and said, "Baoyu, Brother Cong is here to see you, so please talk." As she spoke, she left first with a heavy heart, making room for Jia Cong and Jia Baoyu to talk.

Jia Cong had little contact with Jia Baoyu in the past, so he was not considered close, so he could only try to find some topics to talk to Jia Baoyu at this moment, talking about some changes in Jia's family and the subsequent situation.It's just that he didn't dare to bring up topics related to Lin Daiyu, for fear of irritating him.

Jia Baoyu calmly talked about what happened in the mansion to Jia Cong, with a calm tone, as if he was just a bystander, and the shocking changes did not leave any marks on his heart.

"It's like throwing all the devoured birds into the forest, leaving a piece of white land, it's so clean!" Jia Baoyu's eyes looked at the sky outside the window, where the blue sky was clear, high and misty, far away from the mortal world.He looked at it quietly for a long time, then looked away, and said wistfully, "I have to wake up after a deep dream, and the injustice will be paid off, so let's end."

"Second Brother Bao, don't be too depressed! Who in life can't encounter some hardships and pains? Looking back later, no matter how heart-piercing and thrilling that day was, it was just a period of experience." Jia Cong My heart sank, so I had to try my best to pour chicken soup for his soul, but it might be useless.

His eyes glanced at the old books turned upside down on the table, and he recognized that it was a Buddhist scripture, but he couldn't tell which scripture it was, so he asked cautiously, "Second Brother Bao, your psychic Where's Baoyu?"

"It's been lost for a long time!" Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "It has gone where it should go, that's right, it shouldn't have appeared in the world in the first place. A walk in the world of mortals is enough!"

What should come will come after all!After hearing this, Jia Cong knew that everything was hard to change.He was stunned for a moment, and wanted to persuade him again, but he didn't speak after all.If a few words can resolve troubles and get relief, then there will not be so many people in the world who can't think about it.He is not a person like Jia Baoyu, let alone separated by the gap of the times, how can he deeply understand his sorrows and joys.His honey may be his mate, and he claims to have no qualifications to judge Jia Baoyu's choice.

"Sister Lin has already gone, and I didn't know why she sang "The Song of Burying Flowers" until after her fragrance faded away." Jia Baoyu said softly: "360 days a year, wind, knife, frost, and sword are fierce! "In his words, there is infinite desolation and grief.

Jia Cong walked out of Jia Baoyu's room silently, and couldn't help but look back deeply.Maybe, he thought, this was the last time they would see each other.

"Brother Cong, you have also seen that Baoyu is not in a good spirit right now." Mother Jia had been standing in the yard waiting, and when she saw him come out, she said with a worried expression on her face, "That's why I wanted to make him change his mind."

"Sister Lin has passed away. Didn't she get sick after hearing the news that you are going to marry your daughter to Baoyu?" Jia Cong asked, interrupting Jia Mu's words.

Jia Mu's face froze, and her voice was low and bitter: "I don't know who leaked the news and it reached Yu'er's ears. Since then, she has been sad and heartbroken. I broke her, but this child is indeed How stupid! With her like this, how can I meet her mother who died young when I am under the Nine Springs!"

"Second Brother Bao is also an idiot." Jia Cong curled the corner of his mouth, "Grandmother, I think it's better for Second Brother Bao to stay by your side, otherwise nothing will happen!"

Jia Mu's body trembled, and she said a few words: "If you were willing to marry Yu'er, then Yu'er might not die!" Then everything might be different.

"That way, she will die sooner!" Jia Cong looked at Jia's mother sharply and said, "Grandmother, when you made this decision, didn't you really think about it? Since you have already made it Why do you have to make such a gesture later? I have never harmed Sister Lin, so I have a clear conscience, but I don’t know, you, the grandmother who spent all her dowry property and abandoned her ruthlessly, may be at ease?"

Looking at Jia Mu's pale face, Jia Cong added another sentence, sighing: "If you hadn't embezzled the property of the Lin family, even if you ransacked the house today, sister Lin would still be able to keep her dowry. My brother has a deep affection, so naturally I won't dislike the decline of the Jia family. Wouldn't it be the best ending for the two to become husband and wife?"

If they were as poor as they are now, Jia Cong thought about it, but he didn't dare to confirm that it was a poor and humble couple who mourned everything and spent their youthful friendship in mediocre trivial matters, and they could still know each other and love each other. , can always keep the clouds open to see the moonlight.At that time, I will also reach out and give help within my ability, just for the poignant love tragedy passed down to future generations.Bao Dai two, one is Langyuan fairy flower, the other is beautiful jade flawless, in the end heaven and man were separated, and ended in tragedy, no matter whether they appreciate it or not, they will always have some kind of kindness towards them!As a witness of this tragedy, Jia Cong also felt a little sentimental in his heart.

Mother Jia closed her eyes: "Brother Cong, you are quick-witted. It was really a mistake when you were chosen as successor! Otherwise"

"Otherwise, it's nothing more than another Jia Huan in the family!" Jia Cong smiled sarcastically: "My uncle and grandmother would not allow me to be ahead of my second brother Bao! If I hadn't gone out, how would I have passed the imperial examination, and how could I have had Today's future?"

"Brother Cong," Mother Jia smiled shyly, and asked the doubts buried in her heart: "At the beginning, I mistrusted Ma Daopo's words, and it was my fault that the Jia family missed you, a unicorn! But can you Tell me honestly, is there any work by you in this?"

"Yes!" Jia Cong admitted frankly, he didn't bother to lie, and he didn't need to lie to the Jia family at the moment.

"Old lady, I don't want to let others control my own destiny, so I have to save myself. I know Ma Daopo is used to playing tricks and greedy for money, so I took advantage of her and promised her money, and she agreed."

"But the old lady doesn't have to blame me for being scheming, I'm forced to go to Liangshan!" Jia Cong watched Jia Mu's face change color, and his eyes were angry, and said: "Besides, she is just cheating and instigating, and can't influence the old lady's choice. If If the old lady doesn't believe it in her heart, or if she can't bear it, she won't sacrifice me so decisively. In that case, the old lady admits the bet and admits defeat!"

Mother Jia was so weak that she could hardly stand up.She felt ashamed in her heart, she had been a high-ranking old lord for decades in vain, respected by everyone in the Ningrong State Mansion, but she was played by Jia Cong, the concubine grandson she didn't like at the beginning, Let go of the most capable junior in Rongguo Mansion.Jia Cong was only so young back then, and he had such a plan. If he could be used by the Jia family, the situation of the Jia family would definitely be better now.At the very least, he must take responsibility for the future of his family.

Her heart ached like a fire, her chest was filled with blood, and she felt blackness in front of her eyes. She barely supported her body with crutches, and she was also supporting her remaining face.

Jia Cong didn't care what Jia's mother thought. After today, it was expected that he would never see each other again, so he walked past her side by himself.

"Brother Cong, I beg you for one last thing." Knowing that it was hard to get back, Jia Mu closed her eyes and said sadly: "Your sister Lin left a message before she died, and she wanted to send her coffin back to your aunt. Su, was buried with her parents. Today, we no longer have the ability to do so. She is still in the Tiekan Temple, and her death is desolate. When you go south, you can take her coffin on the road and let her be buried in Gusu’s hometown. When the leaves fall back to their roots, will they stay with their parents forever?"

"Yes!" Jia Cong agreed without hesitation.Let the soul of this sad, beautiful and intelligent unfortunate woman return to her hometown, instead of being a Beiman village girl, he still has some compassion.

"Thank you very much!" Jiamu smiled bleakly, every frown and smile of Daiyu in the past clearly appeared in her heart, and now she was full of guilt for this beloved granddaughter.No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, she knew clearly in her heart that that pure and weak child was driven to a dead end by her!

What a failure in her life!She didn't bring up her children and grandchildren well, took away her granddaughter's dowry, and made her promising descendants feel alienated. As for Baoyu, she also had an extremely ominous premonition that he would leave eventually.This big family with a lot of bells and whistles, the grand Duke's Mansion with nearly a hundred plants, fell apart in her hands, and her descendants were separated!She has made too many mistakes in her life, and the time is gone and will never return, she can no longer regret it, and she can't make up for it!

The tears in her eyes finally fell slowly down her old and haggard cheeks.

A month later, Jia Cong served Jia Dairu and his wife and went south. Apart from Su Mama, Qi Ping'an and the original servants of Jia Dairu's family, Jia Cong also brought the maid Yuzhu who was redeemed by him.Yuzhu was originally a maid in his yard, when he was succeeded, only she and Mother Su treated him as usual among the servants in the yard.Although he didn't say it in his mouth at the time, he remembered it in his heart.Now that all the maids of Jia's family have been sold, he ordered Qi Pingan to redeem Yuzhu's family.Originally, she planned to cancel her family's slave status and give her a few taels of silver to reunite her with her family.But Yuzhu's family didn't treat her well. Yuzhu said that because of Jia Cong's help, she has repaid her family, and she may not have a good result if she stays. Seeing how Jia Cong treats Mother Su's mother and child, she would rather go south to serve On behalf of Mrs. Confucianism, Jia Cong agreed.

In addition, Jia Cong secretly gave Jia Huan 300 taels of silver as a reward for their friendship when they were young.In the future, if I want to start a small business, I will have the capital. If I don't work hard, then Jia Cong won't be able to control it.

In the innermost part of the rear warehouse of the official boat, there is also a fine fir coffin that Jia Cong will send back to Gusu for burial. The coffin of Lin Daiyu will let her return to her roots.Fortunately, this is an official ship, otherwise ordinary ships may not be willing to take it.

On the day of Jia Cong's journey, Jia Baoyu, dressed in plain clothes, sadly said goodbye to Lin Daiyu on the shore.The tragic things in life are all about life and death.Jia Cong was infected and felt a little melancholy.Standing on the bow of the boat, he saw Jia Baoyu's figure getting farther and farther away and blurred, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"One is Langyuan fairy flower, one is beautiful jade flawless, the other is the moon in the water, and the other is the end of the flower sky in the mirror, where is the fragrant hill!" The sad and beautiful singing seems to echo in my ears.
