The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

When Baoyu fainted, Jia Mu panicked. When Jia's mother panicked, Jia's mansion was in chaos. The relationship here is really a chain of links that makes people laugh or cry.

This precious man was still unconscious, and the servants in the mansion did not dare to act rashly. When Jia Mu arrived at Jia Lian's room, she saw the confused servants setting up several tables and chairs and placing the jade flat on them.

The old lady was in a hurry and cursed directly: Who had the idea to leave my good grandson like this...

The person who came up with this idea is a servant of his own house. Jia Lian couldn't help but look embarrassed, not daring to accept Jia Mu's words. Wang Xifeng also just arrived. She led Ping'er to stand together and didn't even have time to take charge of the overall situation.

But who was Wang Xifeng? She stepped forward in two steps, one anxious and the other panicked. When he arrived in front of Jia Mu, his face was already anxious and panicked, and he said repeatedly: Old lady, the imperial doctor hasn't arrived yet. The servants in the house are very ignorant and really don't dare to make their own decisions.

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, Ping'er spoke urgently again: Old lady, please calm down. I'll ask someone to send the second master into the lady's room...

As soon as the two sang and harmonized, the difficulties in Jia Lian's house were clarified. The only bed that was qualified for Baoyu to lie on was the back room of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng. This is my brother-in-law's private part, so it would be outrageous to let a brother-in-law lie down on it. This is Rongguo Mansion, not Ningguo Mansion.

The old lady wanted to understand this, so she had no choice but to stop Ping'er and sit anxiously on the chair brought by Yuanyang. Just because Baoyu's mother came, as soon as Mrs. Wang arrived, Jia Zheng followed closely. Baoyu's biological parents are here, and no one else can say anything for a while.

The room was crowded with people, and they couldn't help but ask why Baoyu fainted. Jia Lian is quite smart and knows that Jia Zheng is present and some things are difficult to say clearly. After looking around for a while, he couldn't help asking for news about the imperial doctor.

After a while, Doctor Wang, who often treated Jia Mu, finally arrived. Seeing that there were many people in the house, he immediately drove more than half of them out. After taking a quick pulse, Doctor Wang replied to Jia's mother and Jia Zheng, saying that the young master in the house was very angry and had to take good care of himself. Remember not to get angry again.

I prescribed a few more medicines and ordered them to be decoctioned and taken in the morning and evening. The family finally felt at ease and sent the imperial doctor out as a gift. As soon as the outsider left, Jia Zheng couldn't help but become suspicious. He had only been home for half a year, and he had been away from home for three years as an academic and political official. I didn't know much about Baoyu, so I asked Jia Lian to ask a few questions.

Jia's mother is still in front of her, so Jia Lian dares to talk. In the end, Jia Mu came to the rescue for him and directly called several maids from Yihong Courtyard and asked them to escort her father back to the hospital.

After such a hasty breakup, Jia Mu took Yuanyang to sit in Yihongyuan in person. It seemed that she would definitely not be able to sleep unless she waited until Baoyu woke up in person.

…………

…………

The master and his wife left in front, so Wang Xifeng couldn't help but talk to Jia Lian that night.

Did you tell Baoyu about your uncle's family?

You can guess this? Jia Lian was very surprised, but when he thought about Wang Xifeng's intelligence and talent, he was not surprised. Without this ability, how could he control the inside and outside of Jia's family, I just said, He fainted and scared me.

What a fool. Wang Xifeng shook his head and sighed, not knowing who he was scolding. She had just recovered from a serious illness, and her body still needed to be recuperated for a long time. Thinking of the virtues of the Jia family men, she couldn't help but speak with a gun and a stick, All of them are worthless, thinking about what is in other people's bowls all day long.

This scolding really made people think too much. Jia Lian was worried that Wang Xifeng found out about his wife and was trying to find out about him, so it was hard for him to answer the question.

Ping'er looked on, thinking that if the couple quarreled, he would be the one to suffer. He spoke out and said: Didn't you say that the empress in the palace intends to arrange a marriage between Mr. Bao and Miss Xue? Mr. Bao, why do you still miss Miss Lin so much?

As soon as he said this, Wang Xifeng's attention immediately shifted. Jia Lian's problem is their internal matter. But once Baochai marries into the family, the matters involved will be a fundamental conflict of interest.

Who knows what men think. Wang Xifeng also had a headache. In her early years, she had planned to marry Daiyu and Baoyu.

Although Daiyu is as smart as Baochai, she is even less smooth than the latter in dealing with people. But when it comes to the choice of younger siblings, marrying Daiyu must be the most advantageous. The way of comparison is in the eyes of the beholder. But Wang Xifeng's ability to see people definitely has something to say.

But it was useless for her to think about it. Daiyu fell in love with the scholar named Chen before he became successful. Nowadays, even a woman who doesn't go out has heard a lot about the high-ranking officials who praise their officials in the streets.

With such a man, how could Baoyu compare with him, and how could he possibly persuade Daiyu to fall in love with someone else.

Hey, what do you know? Hearing Wang Xifeng's complaint, Jia Lian smiled mischievously, As the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a steal, and a steal is worse than being unable to steal.

He is a prodigal son in the flowers, and he reveals Baoyu's mentality in a few words. Then he shook his head and said, I don't know if I can't go out. I heard from outside that the marriage of the number one scholar is more likely to be arranged by the emperor.

What? Wang Xifeng exclaimed, winning the first prize and getting married to His Majesty are two completely different things. Even Wang Xifeng could see the meaning behind it.

The matter of Baoyu and Daiyu must be irreversible.

…………

…………

Baoyu didn't wake up until the second watch. When he woke up, Jia Mu, who had been waiting all night, was very happy. Baoyu has been raised by Jia's mother since she was a child, and the relationship between grandfather and grandson is really deep. But before Jia Mu had time to speak, the pale Baoyu was already crying.

My son, my son. Seeing this, Jia's mother was so anxious that her heart ached like a knife, and she cried, How about you tell grandma any grievances you have in your heart?

Old lady... Baoyu pushed herself up and said angrily, ...I...want to see Sister Lin.

Ah this... Jia Mu didn't know what to say. She guessed that Baoyu's sudden coma must be related to Daiyu's marriage. But now she, an old lady, can no longer interfere in Yu'er's marriage.

Jia Min rarely takes her daughter back to her parents' home. Isn't her meaning clear enough? Not to mention, there is an emperor behind the marriage.

Seeing that the old lady who had always had great powers was in trouble, Jia Baoyu sobbed and begged again: Old lady, I just want to see her once, just once.

Hearing her sweetheart begging like this, Jia Mu saw it and felt pain in her heart. He had no choice but to say: Take good care of yourself. When you feel better, how about we go to your aunt's house?

Okay. A faint hope rose in Baoyu's eyes, and he slumped on the bed again.

…………

…………

On April 20th, Baoyu, who was barely able to maintain his health, went to visit the Lin family with Jia Mu. Jia Min thought it was her mother who came to inquire about Daiyu's marriage, so she hurriedly invited her elders into the house. It can be seen that Baoyu, a pistachio, is also following him, which makes him feel a little strange.

The Lin family's mother-in-law and maids were all trained by Jia Min. The mistress then invited her natal relatives to come in and sit down. The servants who went to report at the back told Daiyu the news of Baoyu's arrival.

At this time, Daiyu was preparing things for Chen Heng to return to Yangzhou. It would be unreasonable for the new champion not to return to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors. During this trip, my brother will also visit his mentors and former classmates.

Not to mention the gifts for sister Yinglian, gifts for my mentor Xie are also indispensable. The sixteen-year-old girl was worried about the gift. When she heard that her grandmother was coming with her cousin, she was very reluctant, but she still came to the main hall to see her elders.

Jia's mother was fine. She didn't say anything when she saw her granddaughter. He only said that he brought some jewelry, which were his favorites when he was young. The precious granddaughter is growing up day by day, and it is just a good time to decorate the little girl.

Decorate? The little girl doesn't go out on weekdays, so what else can she do to dress up? It's just to prepare for Daiyu's wedding. Jia Min finally let go of her worries when she learned her mother's intention. Let Daiyu receive the things and thank Jia Mu for her kindness.

After a while of pleasantries, the atmosphere among everyone was quite appropriate. It was almost noon, so Jia Min naturally wanted to stay with Jia Mu and Baoyu for dinner. The busyness inside and outside directly caused less attention to Baoyu.

After having a moment of free time, the boy slipped out of the main hall and came to the Lin family's atrium corridor. He waited here for a while and saw Daiyu leading the purple cuckoo and snow geese back.

The three of them had just gone to the front hall to check out the lunch dishes, and there was a girl who was about to get married. Jia Min also found an opportunity and rushed to train her daughter.

When the two parties met like this on the corridor, Daiyu didn't say anything yet. Zijuan's heart was already ringing with alarm, and she looked at Baoyu as if she were guarding against a thief.

Sister Lin. Baoyu couldn't help but said softly when he saw the wall man again.

The clothes he wore today were all his favorites. After dressing up, he is not only elegant and handsome, but also handsome. Baoyu's appearance is even more difficult to choose. When such a person appears in the distinguished circle of the capital, he is always praised again and again.

Cousin. Daiyu bowed slightly as a salute. She was worried that the other party would say something irrelevant and ruin her mood today, so she said, Everything in the front hall is ready. My cousin can go and wait first. I went to invite my grandmother...

Before Daiyu could finish her words, Baoyu, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to interrupt: Sister Lin, do you really want to marry him?

Hearing this, Daiyu frowned slightly. She looked Baoyu up and down, and she vaguely guessed the other party's intention, so she had to say some words to deal with it, Marriage matters are decided by the parents. What my cousin asked was really confusing.

In a straightforward statement, Daiyu meant that the matter was a done deal and that the elders of both families had their preference. Just wait for Chen Heng to come back from Yangzhou and prepare for the six rites.

But Baoyu heard it, but felt that there was still some hope. He just said sadly: Don't worry about things outside. Sister Lin, I just ask you, do you really like him?

In this life, if your parents are not alive. Daiyu might just put up with this entanglement and let it go. But now her parents and brothers are here, and her brother is her support. Daiyu's behavior is no longer cautious.

She took the initiative to stop Zicuckoo, who was about to get angry. She just sighed and took the initiative: Cousin, let me answer this question later. Cousin, I also have a question...

Seeing that the beauty was willing to take the initiative to talk to her, Baoyu, who looked a little pale, immediately became energetic and said hurriedly: Cousin, just ask.

What does my cousin like about me?

Hearing Daiyu's question, Baoyu said without hesitation: It must be that he is infatuated. He doesn't think about food and drink, and he can't sleep at night. I heard in the past few days that that person wants to marry someone else besides you. If this matter is left to me In my body, I must have the idea of ​​​​being together for the rest of my life, and I only want to stay with my sweetheart for the rest of my life.

Zicuckoo was very annoyed when she heard it. It was really empty talk, which sounded easy and pleasant to the ears. Who doesn't know that the attackers in your own house are already at your disposal? But with the young lady’s previous instructions, she didn’t dare to interrupt.

Daiyu looked indifferent, only nodded slightly, and said, My cousin is right. She continued to ask, Then what has my cousin done?

What have I done, and haven’t I done enough? It's all in my mind. In order to see you, I try my best every time. Just hearing that you were going to marry someone else made me even sicker. Doesn't this prove my sincerity?

Jia Baoyu was about to take out his heart and show it to Daiyu. But looking at Daiyu's indifferent eyes, she calmed down unconsciously. The look in your sweetheart's eyes is really amazing, it can make you confused and fascinated, but it can also make you fall to the bottom.

When he didn't speak, Daiyu continued: My cousin came to our house today because he must have caused a scene in front of my grandmother.

This...I... Baoyu was at a loss for words and didn't know how to explain this.

My cousin has been like this since he was a child. Daiyu sighed. Although when dealing with others, he always faces his daughter's family. But when things come to pass, he only cares about what he wants. If he doesn't go as he wants, he will cry and make trouble.

Cousin, I... Baoyu wanted to explain, but couldn't find the words.

Cousin, you are acting like this every day. Have you ever thought about my difficulties? Have you ever thought about my grandmother's difficulties? Have you ever thought about Sister Bao at all?

What about him? He is the same age as me, is he so different? In desperation, Baoyu moved Chen Heng out again and asked. If you like scholars, I will definitely study hard in the future and get a good reputation.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to mention her brother, Daiyu's face showed a smile after the ice and snow melted, and the looming sweetness at the corner of her mouth pierced Baoyu's heart like a knife.

Cousin, do you still think that I am willing to marry my brother because he has passed the exam? Daiyu shook her head lightly, and the steps between her buns swayed slightly, making a crisp sound.

Brother has never made me feel embarrassed, and he always wants to be in front of me in everything. He doesn't talk much, and he wakes up late. He used to know how to study every day, so he never had time to pay attention to my thoughts. Daiyu became more and more controlling as she spoke. Without stopping to talk, he said, You know that my brother's family is poor, and compared to the rich and powerful, he is still inferior.

But he never gets a headache or worries about it. He builds mountains when encountering mountains and builds bridges when encountering rivers. I watched him step by step and persevere till today. How can I not like or appreciate him? Daiyu's face The happiness on earth becomes more and more intense.

Cousin, you asked me earlier if I like my brother. Daiyu smiled from the bottom of her heart, Do you know that I already liked my brother as early as when I was six years old. Over the years, it has never changed. Pass.

Baoyu said with heartache: If it were us who were childhood sweethearts. If it were me who accompanied you since childhood. Would you...

No. Daiyu shook her head decisively and said firmly.

Why?! Baoyu felt like he was struck by lightning. Why, why was Sister Lin not even willing to lie to herself?

Cousin, you are not a person worthy of being entrusted with your whole life. She took one last look at Baoyu and advised: Cousin, it's time for you to grow up. If you really want to persist in your stubbornness, even if someone like Sister Bao marries you, it will be impossible. You won’t be happy.”

Why am I not worthy of being entrusted with my whole life? Baoyu was still puzzled. He had never received such great negation since he was born. Daiyu is the first and only one.

If my cousin wants to understand this problem one day, he will grow up. Daiyu shook her head. She said that, and she just stood up and prepared to leave.

If nothing happens in the future, my cousin won't have to come to me.

Putting these words aside, Daiyu finally left with Zicuckoo and Xueyan. After this exchange, Baoyu did not dare to look at Daiyu again at the dinner table.

It was not until after they parted that Jia Min saw off Jia Mu and others that she called her daughter into the house and asked about the meeting between Baoyu and Daiyu. There is something in this family that can be hidden from the mistress. Baoyu thought he was perfect, but as soon as he left, someone came to explain the situation to Jia Min.

At Jia Min's age, she has never seen any storms. With such a mother around, Daiyu's ability to see people was also carefully trained by her.

The mother and daughter gathered together and simply took out the treasure jade and said. Jia Min pointed at her daughter and said: You are not bad at judging people, but I still have to teach you one more time. When you have children in the future, you can teach her. When you choose a man, don't judge him based on how he is. Talking about liking her is just to deceive an inexperienced little girl.

Daiyu nodded, lying on Jia Min's lap, listening to her mother's nagging.

The selection of men is similar to the selection of officials by the court. It is important to be talented and virtuous, but more importantly, being able to take on work and support the family is most important. Jia Min raised her hand and stroked Daiyu's bun. Your cousin is a soft-spoken person who usually doesn't have his own opinions. Most people who marry him can spend time together when they are rich. But when they are in trouble, they will just be a good man sitting at home, only knowing the love and the moon. bitter.

If a man is capable, his family will be poorer. As long as the husband and wife are of the same mind, there will be no difference in the future. Jia Min said, using her own example, When I married your father, his family didn't even have an ancestral title. Give it all back to the court. Apart from his talent and learning, what else did your father have at that time? His family's savings are not even comparable to your grandfather's.

The apple of Duke Rong's eye abandoned all the distinguished children of the capital and insisted on marrying Lin Ruhai. It was also a sensational marriage.

Didn't Mom marry dad because he is good-looking? Daiyu raised her head, her eyes full of gossipy excitement.

You actually took the jokes I told you seriously. Jia Min laughed and tapped Daiyu's forehead with her hand, Your father's demeanor back then was not inferior to Heng'er's.

But Mom is more interested in his character and his responsibility. Although the Lin family is in decline, your father has never failed in his studies. This is because he has an enterprising spirit. His kindness and filial piety towards his widowed mother shows that he knows how to behave. Repay the favor.

No kindness in the world is greater than the kindness of parents in giving birth to children. How can a person who is not filial to his parents and elders be trusted to treat the person next to him from beginning to end?

When he first came into our house and let your grandpa see him. Able to not be angry because of the contempt of others, and not to belittle oneself because of the wealth of outsiders. This shows that your father has the belly of a prime minister. It is most remarkable for a man to have such a big heart. Only when you can accept the injustice of the world with a smile can you tolerate the petty tempers between husband and wife.

As a couple, life is bound to be bumpy. Your grandfather said at that time that only a man with such a big heart is worthy of your mother's lifelong trust.

The more Daiyu listened, the more strange she became. The more she listened, the more she felt that her father was so similar to her elder brother. She hurriedly lifted herself up from Jia Min's lap and asked curiously: Mom, then why did you not agree to my marrying my elder brother before? Will you nod only if you win the first prize in the exam?

I can take risks myself. Whether your father is good or bad in the future, I will be happy to do so. This is the person chosen by my mother, and husband and wife are birds of the same forest, so they naturally have to share weal and woe. But you are my child, how can I let you eat half of it? Bitter. Seeing that Daiyu didn't quite understand, Jia Min didn't want to explain more and just said, When you become a mother in the future, you will know everything.

Both of us are very lucky. The person we like can support our family and build a career. This is our luck, but you can't just rely on luck in your life. When a husband and wife live their lives, they still need to respect each other as guests. As the saying goes, you need to know each other well. Acquaintances need to be kissed, relatives need to be born. Just remember this sentence and figure it out. Your mother will not have to worry about you in the future.

Mom, I remember. Daiyu nodded seriously, and couldn't help but lay beside Jia Min, like a chick leaving the nest, coveting the tender moments, listening to the other person's words over and over again.

I've seen Heng'er's mother. Although she's just a country woman, she's not bad-tempered. She's not a mother-in-law who makes things difficult for others. Heng'er has his own opinions. Even if there are occasional difficulties, he will definitely be able to handle you well. Family affairs. Yu'er, you have to remember...

Jia Min talked a lot today. As she talked, she even told Daiyu that she fell asleep. Looking at her daughter's sleeping face and thinking that the other party was about to get married, Jia Min was filled with emotions.

During the ten-month pregnancy, from the baby's babbling to Yu'er's first call to father and mother, all the past events made people lament how time flies.

…………

…………

The Imperial Examination is over in April, but the Imperial Academy's selection will have to wait until July, which is enough time for new scholars to go home safely. At the end of the month, Chen Heng finally packed up and prepared to take his parents home with him.

Traveling with them were old people from Yangzhou, needless to say Xue Biao and Bao Qin, Jiang Yuanbai and Qian Dayou were even more excited. They all set off in a lively manner, but unfortunately Daiyu was waiting alone in the capital. She only pulled Chen Heng to give her some instructions before leaving.

The blue cloth is for sister Yinglian. Daiyu explained to her giggling brother the purpose of the things she had sent before. The things in the yellow cloth are for my sister and brother at home. The last red bag is for A gift for my mentor. Brother, please don’t give it to me by mistake, or I won’t spare you.”

Okay, I know everything. Chen Heng smiled and nodded, taking advantage of Daiyu's words to look at his sweetheart again and again.

He returned to Yangzhou today, and Daiyu couldn't go out to see him off. He came here specially to see each other to resolve the half-month separation.

Brother knows how to laugh. Daiyu muttered, not understanding what this person was laughing about.

Oh, I'm laughing... Chen Heng's smile became more and more crazier, When I come back, you will change your name to Xianggong.

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then she waved her hands with a shy face and pushed Chen Heng out of the room, Let's go, let's go. In broad daylight, you know how to say some irritating words.

Then I really have to leave. Chen Heng stood in the corridor and turned around frequently, as if he wanted to engrave Daiyu's appearance in his mind.

Yes. Daiyu felt a sense of reluctance for no reason, her eyes turned red, and she deliberately told her calmly, Just go early and come back early.

Chen Heng noticed something strange about her, and returned to the girl's side, stretched out his strong arms to hold Daiyu in his arms, and smelled her body fragrance, he also said softly: Sister, wait for me.

It's not like we never separated in the past, sometimes for three months or half a year. Only the small half-moon at this moment makes people feel melancholy. Moved by emotion, Daiyu hugged Chen Heng's waist with her hands, feeling the warmth of her fingertips.

I know, I'm waiting for you to come back.

Good sister, what are you waiting for me to do when I come back?

It's already this time, and I'm still thinking about teasing. Daiyu stretched out her hand and pinched Chen Heng's waist. Half a ring is enough to satisfy your cravings. She said softly.

Wait until you come back to marry me.

Hahahahaha, please vote, please monthly vote, please reward, please recommend votes. I'm hungry. Let's go have dinner first.
