[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

"Mr. is very lucky, the young master is really filial." Lin Ruhai finally caught up with Master Xue and his party who were stopping to rest, and struck up a conversation with the leader Xue Pan, who was kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.Even if Lin Ruhai saw Xue Pan, he was reminded of the not-so-good memories of his previous life, but at least the current Xue Pan deserves such a compliment.Looking at Xue Pan in this life, this kind of child can't be said to be a great talent, but he can't become a person like in the previous life. Lin Ruhai is more and more sure that there is something wrong with the Xue family.

"It's hard to teach a fool, sir, I don't know how to call him?" Sitting on the sliding pole, Mr. Xue is just like an ordinary rich man, with a humble mouth and a sense of pride of being praised on his face, which cannot be ignored. The original Lin Ruhai was probably very sad about not having a son.

"I am from Gusu, my surname is Lin and my name is Hai. This time I come to Jinling to meet friends. I heard that the Jishan Temple outside the city is very prosperous, and it is quite effective. I am here to ask for a lottery." Said: "Looking at the appearance of the gentleman, he must be a local person?"

"The Xue family in Jinling is named Zhengchu."

"It turned out to be Ziwei Sheren, Mr. Xue, who has long admired his name." Lin Ruhai didn't deliberately mention his identity, and wanted to infiltrate the other party for the purpose of normal communication.Sure enough, the other party had no doubts. After all, Lin and Hai are the most famous people in the world. Although Jinling and Yangzhou are only one or two hundred miles away, they may not be immediately associated with his true identity.

"Yu is just a useless person now. Mr. Lin is an award, just call Yu Zhengchu." Master Xue had a little self-deprecating, imperceptible self-mockery, as if his name back then was just a passing thing.

"Meeting is fate, why don't you and I call each other brothers, how about Zhengchu brother?" Putting aside the original purpose, the people in front of me are also worthy of friendship, Lin Ruhai only felt that Ziwei Sheren is really famous and not as good as meeting each other. Showing a bit of a merchant's breath, he is more graceful than many literati masters.

"Brother Lin, as long as you don't dislike him."

The two of you coming and going are regarded as a successful conversation, and it seems that they hate seeing each other later.

"It's getting late, since brother Lin came to offer incense and ask for a fortune, we should go up the mountain earlier." Master Xue suggested that he could no longer see Xue Pan in front of him, and felt that he had almost rested.

"That's what I meant."

So the two continued to go up the mountain with two sliders one after the other.

Lin Ruhai is behind, and Master Xue is in front.Lin Ruhai, who was sitting on the sliding pole, stared at the back of the person in front of him, feeling a little familiar. Did you see this person before?Lin Ruhai rummaged through the memories of this life, but found nothing related to the person in front of him. The original body really only heard his voice but didn't see him.But in the memory of the previous life, there was no intersection with this person, so where did this familiar feeling come from.Lin Ruhai couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help but fell into his own thinking and didn't see anything for a long time.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" 738 hurriedly asked.

"Don't you think this Lin Ruhai is very familiar?" The lingering gaze behind him didn't make Master Xue uncomfortable at all, he sat calmly on the sliding pole and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The other party didn't move, and he didn't open his mouth.

"It's good to be familiar. Didn't you spend your whole life with Lin Ruhai in your first life in the Red Mansion? The same person has some similarities even in different worlds." 738 didn't grasp the key point for a while, and he didn't realize it until he finished speaking : "You mean..." He didn't continue the following words, but observed Lin Ruhai up and down, and then continued with a surprised tone:

"It's Lin Ruhai from the first life, it's him, isn't it?" 738 in his consciousness stared round in shock, his small mung bean-sized eyes pointed in Lin Ruhai's direction and he stuttered, only in this way can he not detect any abnormalities .The main reason is that I didn't think in this direction at the beginning, and walked into a misunderstanding. At this moment, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt it.

"Hmm!" Master Xue, who closed his eyes and meditated, had no choice but to accept this fact that he didn't want to see the most.When he saw this person for the first time just now, he was slightly suspicious. The words, movements, expressions, tone, and some subtle habits he said later were clearly the same as Lin Ruhai in that life. At any rate, they lived together intimately for decades, and invested a lot of affection into it at that time, how could they not be able to tell each other apart, not to mention that this person had no intention of covering up at all, for fear that he might not be able to see his difference.I still remember that in Xichun's life, she went to Yangzhou to see if she could find any traces of the old person. At that time, she was a little disappointed because she saw a completely different person. , this person suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, but he was at a loss, how to deal with it, how did he follow here?

"He came to look for you? No wonder he wanted to investigate Xue's house, and he has been squatting outside Xue's house for so long. Judging by his appearance, he may not be in good health. For the sake of his sincerity, do you want to help him get rid of his illness?" Is it cured?" This is the first time a mission subject has chased after him eagerly for so long, 738 was moved by this sincerity, and he doesn't know what this stupid Lin Ruhai gave up or exchanged for traveling through the small world The ability, if the time comes to nothing, it will not be very pitiful.

"It's not a big deal to watch the excitement." Master Xue rolled his eyes in his consciousness, and of course he can think of what 738 can think of, and he can think more deeply.To be honest, it would be a lie if he wasn't moved at all, but being moved doesn't mean impulsive, so what if he recognizes her now, this look is obviously unacceptable, although he doesn't mind gender switching during the mission, But I don't want to put on a man's shell and fall in love with another man, it's scary to think about it.Furthermore, even if the other party can accept that what she loves is only her soul, not her skin, she will still have to travel through various worlds to do tasks uninterruptedly in the future. The other party can follow her for a lifetime, several lives, or even dozens of lives Have you lived life after life?There are also two people who may face embarrassing identities in the same world, blood relationship, or the married man and the married woman, or the same gender. Anyone can accept it, and she doesn't want to pull people in like this.

Also, what did the other party give up in exchange for such an opportunity?The price is certainly not small.Does every follow will consume his soul?Now that things have happened, it is really impossible to convince myself optimistically that maybe the other party will not follow in the next life, give up?If you can be with the first life, you have to be prepared for the possibility of meeting in the future. Is it really worth it just for an uncertain result?The more she thinks about it, the bigger her head becomes, the more she realizes that things can't go so smoothly, and she always has to give her a little bit of trouble in every life.

"Do you think Lin Ruhai recognized you?" After 738 was shocked, he couldn't help but sympathize with Lin Ruhai. Based on its understanding of the host, it would be more difficult than ascending to heaven for the host to completely open his heart and accept him.

"Probably not for the time being, but right now he is probably more suspicious of the Xue family. The eyes behind his back are staring at him undisguisedly. It is really hard for people to ignore the fact that Master Xue is not dead." The body of Master Xue At this moment, it also has the advantage, at least it makes it difficult for the other party to think of him for a while.

"I checked it again. Lin Ruhai wrote a lot of small notes, ticking out all the people he suspects or those who think there are problems." 738 copied the things intact, because they didn't pay too much attention , some things are ignored.

Looking at the annotations against Xue's family, and the prince's lineage, Rongguo Mansion, ... the difference is clearly stated on the paper, it seems that this person is undoubtedly.According to the information on the paper, this person doesn't know much information so far, and most of it is from the memory of the two lifetimes. She may have a guess or two about her mission, but she is not sure about the key point.There should be no external force that can help him. Everything may need to be speculated, investigated, and verified by himself. Thinking of this, Master Xue heaved a sigh of relief.

What we need to do now is, first, end the mission of this life as soon as possible, maybe there will be no such person in the next world; The other party, since there are so many suspects, let him be more suspicious, so that he will pay much less attention to the Xue family.

Before the sliding pole stopped at the gate of Jishan Temple, Master Xue made a three-step plan for the time being. Anyway, people are determined not to recognize it.

"Benefactor Xue, the presiding master is already waiting for you in the meditation room." There was already a young novice at the gate of the courtyard waiting for the members of Xue's family. A sincere and generous customer.

"Master, please take me to freshen up and tidy up." Xue Pan, who started at the front, fell behind instead, climbing up the last step with sweat profusely, ignoring the dust, and paralyzed Sitting on the ground, anyway, his clothes are out of shape, and he will change into new clothes in a while.

"Benefactor Xue, don't worry." The little master seemed to be used to entertaining Xue Pan, and asked another little monk beside him to take people to the meditation room in the backyard to entertain guests.

"This is Mr. Lin who I met on the road. He came to Jishan Temple to ask for lottery and hexagrams. I also asked my little master to arrange one or two."

"Master Huizhi, who explained the hexagrams, went out to give alms today, and it is a bit of a coincidence that Master Lin came here." The little novice showed some embarrassment.

"Little master, I came all the way from Yangzhou just to ask for a lottery to solve the hexagram. Do you think there are other masters in the temple who can also explain the hexagram."

"The presiding master will also interpret hexagrams, but the old man has been puzzled for many years, and Benefactor Xue also knows."

"Brother Yuanyi, the presiding master said to invite benefactor Xue and benefactor Lin to go there together." A young novice hurried over from the backyard.

"This is Lin's blessing." Originally asking for a sign to explain the hexagram was just an excuse, but since someone took the initiative to explain it to him, it was a good opportunity to ask what was in his heart, and maybe he could go in multiple directions.

Master Xue got off the sliding pole, was carried to a wheelchair, pushed by his servants, and together with Lin Ruhai, he followed little master Yuanyi to the backyard.

This old monk, on weekdays, wished he could stay in the meditation room every day without seeing outsiders, so why did Lin Ruhai take the initiative to invite him as soon as he came, and he didn't know what was going to happen.I think it took him a lot of effort to hook up with Huiming at the beginning. He just wanted to have a companion to play chess, and he was really popular.I hope that the old monk will not say something surprising, and he will be gone as a chess friend by then.
