Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Chapter 118 Follow-up

Although Lin Rui was young, he lived under the fence earlier than Lin Daiyu, which made him extra resolute. At this time, he comforted Daiyu softly.

"Sister, you don't have to cry. Brother Bao didn't intend to offend Dad. What he said originally had some truth, but it was a little too biased.

Just think about it, this state-owned war requires soldiers, and state-owned affairs requires civil servants. They are originally needed to solve problems. If they only pursue false fame, even if they die, they will not benefit the country or harm the country. Sister, think about it. This reason? "

"Why don't I know this, it's just that he insulted his father by talking like this in front of his sister-in-law and husband, how can I bear it?"

It so happened that Baoyu ran over out of breath at this time, just hearing these words, his heart warmed up, and immediately bowed to Daiyu,

"It turned out that I misunderstood my sister, I am really sorry for my sister!"

Daiyu looked at him sweating profusely from running in the winter, and her heart softened a little. She pushed him sideways and asked Lin Rui to pull him up.

"I know your heart, but your words are too biased, not to mention that someone wants to leave this career and economy, I know you have always hated this kind of scholar-officials, I just ask you, if Brother Rui grows up When he grows up, if he doesn’t follow this path, what do you want him to do?” Daiyu asked him.

Baoyu first passed Baochai and then Daiyu. Although he knew it in his heart, he still refused to admit it.

Looking at Lin Rui's immature shoulders and clear eyes, he said,

"Even if Brother Rui doesn't go to school, we still have Brother Lian and the others at home, so we can't miss it!"

Daiyu saw that he was still so ignorant, and said,

"Well, now you go and ask, whether it's the old lady, the master, the wife, the second brother Lian, sister Feng, no matter who you ask, as long as there is one person who answers and says that he can support Brother Rui and me for a long time, As well as our descendants, I can be the master and let Brother Rui stop studying and concentrate on being with you."

Lin Rui was startled, and tugged on Daiyu's sleeve. Daiyu gave Baoyu a wink with her back on her back, but she just coaxed him knowing that he would not go.

Sure enough, Baoyu was stunned and dared not go forward.

Seeing that he was silent, Daiyu said again,

"When you look at Lao and Zhuang in the past, how can you not learn that in Lao and Zhuang, existence and non-existence are interdependent, difficulty and difficulty complement each other, long and short complement each other, high and low complement each other, voices harmonize, and front and back follow each other?

Where there is good, there is bad, and if there is bad, there is good. You only see the bad, so can you think about the good?

My father worked hard to stabilize the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. Even on the last journey, he did it himself and refused to relax easily. Do you think that such a person is not worthy of the title of Duke Wensu? "

Baoyu thought about the graceful uncle of the Lin family whom he saw during the Chinese New Year the year before last, and thought that his uncle would go away in a short while. Uncle Lin with such a fairy appearance should have been swimming in the mountains and forests, embracing poems, books, etiquette and music, Rather than being ups and downs among secular officials, it's just that he never dared to say such things again, so he could only keep silent.

Seeing him like this, Daiyu knew that he hadn't turned around yet. Thinking of her coming to Beijing when she was young, besides Jia Lu, Baoyu treated her the most caringly and considerately. , I also want to mention him a thing or two.

"You only know that ministers and soldiers are people who pursue fame and fortune, but defending the home and defending the country requires people to do it, right? It is impossible for the emperor to know that he made a mistake and not stop it? Besides, if you don't do it for the name, you have to do it for the people, right?"

Daiyu has the accent on the two names, and Baoyu is clever, so he thought of it in a second.

"If you want to do things, if you want to cater to the powerful, you will naturally have no reputation, but do you think this kind of person is good? If you really want to do something practical for the people, then you will have conflicts with the powerful.

You have to know that it is difficult for people in this world to be perfect. Some people have the heart to do things for the people, some people have the ability to do things, and some people can deal with the powerful and tactful, but not everyone has these. Death, do you still want to scold them for pursuing fame and fortune? "

When Baoyu heard this, he also thought that he really wanted to go wrong.

"Do you think I like these things? If I have a choice, I also want to recite poems and paint pictures every day. Wouldn't it be fun?"

When Baoyu heard it, he knew her original intention. It turned out that Daiyu had not changed, she was still that kind of person.

Baoyu is an infatuated person, he didn't care about those things, otherwise his eldest sister entered the palace to be a concubine, his eldest brother died of exhaustion for the imperial examination, and they were naked chasing fame and wealth. Then there is no one to see.

All he cared about was whether Sister Lin's heart had really changed, and she didn't like it when she heard Sister Lin's answer. Even if she became happy, he didn't care about the rest.

"Good sister, I know your heart is still the same as before. Don't worry, I know I was wrong. I won't say those stupid things anymore. Brother Rui, if you want to take the imperial examination, then go. I remember that big brother stayed behind My wife gave me a lot of scientific examination books, and I found them and sent them over! Just wait!"

After speaking, he went back happily, Lin Rui was dumbfounded,

"Brother Bao was persuaded just like that? Didn't he say he was the Demon King of Confusion?"

Daiyu didn't speak, she knew that Baoyu wasn't persuaded, but he didn't say anything on the face, but that's all right, he has old ladies and wives behind him, so he doesn't need to worry about such mundane things, as long as he doesn't Besides, talking about these bastards' disobedience would make uncle unhappy.

In Daoxiang Village, Li Wan sent Jia Lu and Mr. Ke back home, worried about Baoyu, Baoyu is the old lady and his wife's baby, since the old lady entrusted her with the affairs of the garden, if something bad happened to Baoyu, The wife has to eat her.

"Grandma, Chaodouer is back!" Suyun opened the curtain and shouted.

"Hiss!" Li Wan was holding a needle and thread in his hand, he might as well have been pricked, wiped it casually, and hurriedly said,

"Tell me, where did Baoyu go?"

Chaodouer hurriedly said,

"Grandma, don't worry, Second Master Bao ran out from Nuanxiangwu, and was chased by Miss Bao at the Ouxiangxie. Miss Bao persuaded her for a while, and Second Master Bao returned to Nuanxiangwu. I don't know what Miss Lin said later. What, someone saw Second Master Bao go back happily again!"

Only then did Li Wan feel relieved, Suyun helped Li Wan to sit down, looked at a wound on his finger, quickly took the ointment, and carefully applied it.

"Grandma, it's the Second Master Bao's fault in the first place. Even if the trouble is brought to the old lady's side, it won't be your fault. Why would you hurt yourself for him!"

"Silly girl, it's not easy to explain all the truths in this world. Our Baoyu is the most unreasonable person in this family."

Coincidentally, when Lan'er came back from school, Li Wan hurriedly asked someone to cover his hands, and took the cold hand stove in his hand and put it aside.

"You child, the hand stove is cold, so let the boys add some charcoal. You hold the cold stove all the way, what should you do if it freezes?"

Laner smiled and said,

"I'm fine. I'll stay in the house. The old man respectfully doesn't allow his servants to go in. They're just outside in the cold, so it's hard. They won't hurt me at all at this moment."

Li Wan shook his head, "You silly boy, you only think about them."
