Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Xue Baochai was silent for a long time.A few years ago, she was sent out with her husband. Although she was the magistrate's wife, her living conditions could not be compared with before.Food, clothing and decorations are naturally not as good as those in the capital and Jinling, and the residence can only be arranged in the county government office. Although it is also a single courtyard, it is also quite simple.She took care of the whole family's life, repaired the house, planted flowers and trees, arranged the house, arranged food and clothing, and worried about the Xue family's business in her spare time.But she felt no pain at all.

The husband is motivated and diligent, has good political achievements, and is expected to be promoted.Her son and daughter are also filial and outstanding under the upbringing of their husband and wife.The whole family was neat and orderly, cordial and harmonious. Those days were very exciting, and the temporary hardships were nothing.When she was in the Grand View Garden in the past, she enjoyed such luxurious enjoyment, but her heart was always uneasy, her marriage was uncertain, and her family's situation was getting worse.She is calm and quiet by nature, and she has seen wealth and prosperity.Thinking about the past, there is a sense of "where the heart is at peace is the home".

Looking around, the furnishings in the room are exquisite, and the flowers and trees are dancing outside the window, the color is green and fragrant, it can be seen that the life was exquisite that day.But will sister Lin really feel happy in it?Sister Lin and Baoyu seem to be in harmony now, but a rift has already appeared in their relationship.Sister Lin is a spiritual and sensitive woman who once fell in love with Baoyu so much, although she said it so freely, can she really see it?I'm afraid that even if the case is equal, it will be difficult to settle down in the end, right?Suddenly, Xue Baochai unconsciously came up with a Buddhist gatha: Everything is Dharma, like dreams and bubbles, like dew and like electricity!

Recalling that he and his mother had worked hard for Baoyu's marriage at the beginning, Xue Baochai had mixed feelings. He was grateful for "escaping disaster", but also felt sad for Sister Lin. What was announced was the disappointment in each other.

"Sister Lin!" Xue Baochai sighed, not knowing what to say, in the end, he just patted her hand lightly, and everything was kept silent.Sister Lin doesn't need the usual comforting words.

Lin Daiyu smiled: "Sister Bao, there's no need to be like this! I think it's a good ending for everyone to be like this now. You see," she pointed with her fingers up, "Sister Bao, your family is harmonious, and the days ahead will get better and better. There is more and more hope; Baoyu and I are living a stable life. No matter what happens to each other, we still have the old love, and the incense of the Lin family can continue; , and will definitely live a prosperous life; sister Xichun has become a monk in the big nunnery in the capital, this is her wish, and she seeks benevolence.

Seeing Xue Baochai looking at her puzzledly, Lin Daiyu took a breath and said in a low voice, "Sister Bao, not long ago, I had a dream about the story of our sisters. The scene in the dream was extremely detailed, as if It really happened. After waking up, I don’t know where I am. Is today’s life real, or is it real in a dream!”

In the dream, her only brother was gone, and her mother went with her in pain. When she was young, she still bid farewell to her father and traveled all the way to the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, where she was raised by her grandmother, perhaps for the purpose of "bereavement". The mother's eldest daughter's concerns about not marrying may also be an act of avoiding disaster. The mother and younger brother died strangely, and the father was struggling in the post of Yangzhou patrol salt censor.But she didn't know it at the time. In the Jia family, she was treated better than the Sanchun sisters. Her grandmother favored her, and everyone treated her very well, but the second wife was more serious.She lived happily in Jia's house, and her cousin Baoyu was the closest to her. They ate and played together, and they were very close.Later, Xue Baochai, the second wife's niece, also came to Jia's house with her family, but Baoyu was still better with her.

After a few years of such happy life, she also grew up slowly, and she and Baoyu had a similar heart, and a secret love was born.At this time, her father was seriously ill, and Lian's second brother took her back to Yangzhou to visit.Her father was running out of time, and he told her before his sick bed that after he left, it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold as an orphan, let alone keep her huge property under the prying eyes of the clan, and the Lin family was not close to the clan.Taking her into consideration, her father agreed with her grandmother on her marriage to Baoyu, and when she was a filial piety, she would marry Baoyu when she was older.Apart from leaving some of the property of the Lin family to the clan, the rest was brought back to the Jia family by Lian's second brother and kept by the grandmother, which was her dowry.

Her father died, and she returned to Jia's house with Lian's second brother.When she was still in Yangzhou, big sister Yuanchun was canonized as a noble concubine, and everyone in Jia's family was ecstatic.In order to welcome the noble concubine to visit relatives, the Jia family built a magnificent and luxurious Grand View Garden.After visiting relatives, the sisters moved into the Grand View Garden with Baoyu.She chose the gloomy Xiaoxiang Pavilion surrounded by thousands of green bamboos, adjacent to the resplendent Yihong Courtyard where Baoyu lived.

The sisters spent unforgettable years of youth in the Grand View Garden. After a few years of happy life, they also witnessed the gradual decline of Jia's family.

She gradually felt the change in the Jia family's attitude towards her.When she first entered the Rongguo Mansion, she was the only daughter of a high-ranking inspector who inspected salt. She came to Jia's house only temporarily and was brought up by her grandmother.Her status is a distinguished guest, and everyone treats her with respect and affection, and is well taken care of.At that time, she was living in Jia's house, accompanied by her sisters and Baoyu, and she felt relaxed and calm.

After her father passed away, she was an orphan girl with nowhere to go except her grandmother's house.In the eyes of snobbish people, it is naturally a hairless phoenix, whose value has plummeted, and there is no need to flatter her.As the world is like this, she is not too sad.However, what makes her uneasy is that her grandmother never mentioned her marriage with Baoyu, but her father clearly told her before he died!

Father will not lie to him!So why did grandma not mention it?Because seeing that she and Baoyu are still young, and she is still in the period of filial piety, I am afraid that if I say this, everyone will be shy and shy when they meet?Or, or did she lose her father who was an official, so she felt that she was not worthy of Baoyu?The second wife naturally prefers her niece Xue Baochai, and the Xue family is also a wealthy imperial merchant.But, doesn't she have most of the Lin family's property as a dowry? Lian's second brother won it back from the Lin family's clan, and his father clearly left it to her?

It was hard for her to ask, and silently calculated the financial accounts of the Jia family, knowing that the Jia family was unable to make ends meet.After calculating the construction cost and time of the Grand View Garden, it was just before and after my return from Yangzhou that I felt like a mirror in my heart, knowing that I could not ask about the whereabouts of the Lin family's property.Worrying about gains and losses all day long, thinking too much, others say that she is sentimental and troubled, but no one can understand her distress that she has nowhere to confide in.Perhaps, those who know the reason also pretend not to know!

Baoyu became her only spiritual pillar.Only he is always caring for her.Her feelings for Baoyu became deeper and deeper, and she couldn't extricate herself.Baoyu is also her only way out.She and Baoyu have the same heart and soul, but the future has not yet been settled.She could only wait helplessly day by day with expectations.The servant girl Zijuan was also worried about her, and helped her test Baoyu, causing a lot of trouble.At that time, everyone knew Baoyu's thoughts for her, but the grandmother and the second wife still did not let go and spoke accurately.

Jia's family became more and more decayed, and it was difficult to supply her tonic in time.In order to save the economic distress, Tanchun also carried out reforms, but under the general trend, it did not help.Perhaps because of this, my grandmother finally agreed with the second wife's suggestion, and decided to let Baoyu marry Baochai, and let people keep it a secret from her.

After hearing the news from a silly maid, she was like a thunderbolt, and the whole world collapsed.Both of her parents died and she became an orphan. Now even her grandmother and Baoyu have abandoned her.Her heart was extremely cold and desperate, and she knew that she had no way out.

Can't marry Baoyu, but the dowry has been embezzled by Jia's family.How will the Jia family arrange her?They will not choose a good family for her, otherwise the husband's family will be able to help her recover the dowry, what should I do?No, in fact, she may not be worthy of any good family. Except that she has no background at all, she and Baoyu have always been close and have no taboos. Such a reputation may have been spread long ago, and anyone who wants to talk about relatives will not be afraid ?

Either betrothed to an unbearable man indiscriminately, and sent out far away, regardless of life and death, just like sister Yingchun is so miserable; plaything.

Which one is a dead end, a dead end!The arrogance and aloofness in her bones made her make up her mind: the quality is clean and clean, and I will never live by idling!She spoiled her body wantonly, and soon her unhealthy body disappeared.When she was dying, she heard the sound of drum music from afar, which was Baoyu marrying Baochai.The day she passed away was also Baoyu's happy day!

She died bleakly, but sister Baochai lived a miserable life.Not long after Sister Baochai and Baoyu got married, the Jia family was ransacked and questioned.The building collapsed, but Baoyu asked the men at home for their crimes, and when the women and children had no one to rely on, he saw through the world, became a monk, and left far away, never to be heard from again.Sister Bao raised her posthumous child with difficulty alone and died of illness shortly after growing up. Her life was lonely and bitter.

Sister Yingchun was tortured to death by her husband; Sister Tanchun married off in place of the daughter of the Prince of Nan'an, and she could no longer see her family, and her life and death were unknown;

It was as if the birds were thrown into the forest, and the white land was so clean!

Lin Daiyu spoke slowly, and Xue Baochai listened intently, feeling horrified, and her hands were covered with sweat.But for no reason, I felt that it seemed to have really happened.Perhaps this is their destiny?The flowers bloom and fall, and the moment is prosperous!The spring is divided into three parts, half with the flowing water and half with the dust.

Among them, the biggest change was Lin Mingan!In Lin Daiyu's dream, he does not exist, Lin Daiyu has no successor brother at all!But in the real world, the appearance of Lin Mingan changed everything.

Xue Baochai trembled all over, she suddenly stepped forward, took Lin Daiyu's hand tightly, and looked at each other.At this moment, the two of them felt both hot and cold in their hearts, filled with emotions, half happy and half sad.The two of them have never had such a heart-to-heart connection, and they have known each other with pity.

Later, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu respectively enshrined the ever-burning lanterns for Lin Mingan in the temple, and prayed for him endlessly throughout their lives.

Lin Ming'an was a legendary figure in the Daqing dynasty.He had a rough life experience as a young man, and he was successful as a young man. After winning the Jinshi, he has been trusted and reused by Emperor Yongjia.He was conferred the title of Marquis due to his meritorious deeds, and was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.Lin Mingan believes in Taoism, and is very good at the art of investigating things. He has invented and created countless things in his life, and many industries have benefited from this, and even established because of his inventions.

He had a close relationship with his younger brother, Prince Zhongshun, and the two cooperated to introduce high-yield crops from the West, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.During the 16th year of severe drought in Yongjia, the harvest of rice and wheat failed. Farmers relied on sweet potatoes and other crops to survive the famine and survive.Emperor Yongjia and his son Dehe thought of his meritorious service and wanted to confer him titles and official positions several times.In his later years, he became an official at a young age, roamed the world, entertained himself with mountains and rivers, and left nearly a hundred travel notes with extremely detailed and moving descriptions.

Lin Ming benefited the country and the people, and his merits lasted for thousands of years. He was also good at business management, and the Lin family became very rich as a result.His younger sister, Princess Lin Yi'an, also followed her brother's example and established a number of industries, which is unique among the royal female families, and there are occasional admirers and critics.

When Lin Mingan was old, he returned to his hometown of Gusu to settle down.He died without any illness and was buried with his parents at the age of 87.When the news of his death came out, people all over the world mourned for him. Emperor Dehe specially dismissed him for three days, and posthumously named him "An Guogong", and his descendants could inherit it for five generations.Lin Ming'an taught his children well, and the Lin family became a prominent and noble family in the Daqing Dynasty after him, and it lasted for a long time.Even after the decline of the Daqing Dynasty, the Lin family was respected and cared for by the new Dynasty because of Lin Mingan.

Lin Ming'an has cultivated countless talents in the study of things throughout his life. Because of him, the science and technology of the Daqing Dynasty advanced by leaps and bounds.Therefore, later generations honored him as the founder of modern science and the pioneer of the industrial revolution!
