Red Mansions Counterattack Raiders

On the way, there was a casual book prepared secretly by Jia Baoyu, and Lin Daiyu felt much relieved. Seeing Jia Baoyu's calm look, she gradually believed that her father was really fine.Thinking of being away from home for many years, feeling depressed and having nowhere to confide in, and now finally being able to return to her hometown to see her father, Lin Daiyu was filled with excitement, and even the unchanging scenery on the sea felt extremely beautiful, and all this was actually facilitated by Jia Baoyu in the dark , I couldn't help feeling a lot of gratitude in my heart.

On the surface, Jia Baoyu has always abided by etiquette. Although they and Jia Lian are the only three masters on board, there are many servants and crew members. Xueyan guards the door of the room and must not make any mistakes.In private, whenever he came to a port, he would go down to find some delicious and interesting things, avoid people and quietly send them to Daiyu's room, without staying too long, just say a few words of concern and then leave. Undiscovered.Lin Daiyu felt a touch of sweetness and novelty when she was nervous. For a boudoir girl, this level is already very exciting!

When they arrived in Yangzhou, Lin Daiyu's luggage had an extra big box. Fortunately, Jia Lian didn't care about them at all because of drinking and having fun all day long, so she was relieved.Jia Lian suggested that Jia Baoyu go directly to Jinling on the way, to adapt to the environment first, so as not to delay the autumn test due to unacceptable conditions, but Jia Baoyu insisted on visiting his uncle first, no matter how Jia Lian tried to persuade him, he would not let go.Jia Lian was helpless, thinking that if Uncle Lin was ill and had to organize the funeral, with Baoyu's temperament, he might stay in Lin's mansion and miss the autumn test, and when the old lady and the second wife might scold him, they immediately turned their heads. Two big.

On the day when the boat docked, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel nervous even though his experience was much higher than that of ordinary people. After all, he had never met this Uncle Lin, and he didn't know his temperament. Allow this marriage.Early in the morning, he rummaged through his luggage and changed five or six sets of clothes before finally choosing a suit of lake blue dark patterned plain clothes. Flattered and praised, "Second Master looks handsome and handsome, and Uncle Lin must appreciate it very much. Besides, Uncle Lin was a dignified prospect back then, and what he valued most must be knowledge. With Second Master's ability, I am not afraid that Uncle Lin will not like it."

Jia Baoyu glanced at him, straightened his clothes with a smile, "Let's just take this outfit, and with your good words, if uncle really appreciates me, I will give you five taels of silver! But I keep you by my side because I want you to be clever and sensible. You have to memorize what you should say and what you should not say, in case I violate my taboo someday..."

"Second master, don't worry! It's a great blessing for a slave to serve the second master, but I dare not talk about it!" Ming Yan hurriedly put down his burden and solemnly expressed his loyalty, joking, so many people were dismissed by the master with a single word, and he finally stayed. How could it be possible to mess up again?Isn't it because Miss Lin is more important than the master, he understands!

Jia Baoyu knocked on Mingyan from time to time, now that Mingyan has become more disciplined, Jia Baoyu saw that he was quick-witted and loyal, so he wanted to train him as a confidant, and now he looks pretty good.

After getting off the boat, the housekeeper of the Lin family brought two carriages and a dozen servants to stand guard on the shore. It looked like he had been blown by the wind for a long time, and his expression was a little bad.After approaching, Steward Lin led everyone to salute Daiyu excitedly, "Miss is finally back! Since Miss left, the master has been worrying day and night, caring for Miss very much, and he ate very little, and his body has become thinner and thinner. Now Miss is back , the master will be delighted to see it, and if the young lady persuades me, the old slave will feel relieved!"

Lin Daiyu burst into tears immediately, "Steward Lin, please hurry up! I also miss my father very much. My grandmother is old. I went to Beijing on behalf of my mother to fulfill my filial piety by my grandmother, but I ignored my father. It is my fault. Father said in the letter I'm not in good health, have you seen a doctor? Have you taken your medicine on time? Let's go back home quickly, I can't feel at ease if I don't see my father!"

"Yes, yes! Look at the old slave's confusion, let the lady and the two masters stand here to blow the air, get in the carriage to warm up, the master is waiting in the mansion!" Lin Butler raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and followed Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu saluted and said a few polite words, and stretched out their hands to invite the three of them into the carriage behind them.

The salutation and others were arranged by Butler Lin. Jia Baoyu watched Daiyu being helped into the carriage by Xueyan, and followed Jia Lian into another carriage. He sat in the carriage and thought about all the things that Uncle Lin might have mentioned. Asking questions, I raised my head inadvertently, and saw the doubt and eagerness hidden in Jia Lian's eyes, and there seemed to be a little bit of excitement!

Jia Baoyu frowned, looked at it for a while without any trace, and said tentatively: "Second brother Lian, you have worked hard for escorting my cousin and me on this trip."

Jia Lian turned her head and smiled, and waved her hands, "It's not hard, there are some slaves on the left and right to take care of it, I don't need to do anything, I just take care of one or two because of my age."

"It was my first time traveling far, and I was lucky to have the second elder brother Lian watching over me so that I could settle down. I will remember this kindness, and I will definitely repay it in the future!" I have been at home for many years, and my uncle seems to be in poor health. I am afraid that he will not return to Beijing with us this time. I don’t know how the old ancestor explained before we left? Second brother Lian will return to Beijing in a few days? "

Jia Lian was taken aback, and said hesitantly: "Don't worry, the old lady is also worried about Uncle Lin's body. I always want to stay here for a while and do my best to take care of Uncle Lin. Besides, Uncle Lin said in the letter that he was seriously ill. There are no other masters in the house, we as relatives still need to help out."

"Second brother Lian said that second brother Lian often works outside, and he is much more thoughtful than I thought. I am far inferior! In two days, I will go to Jinling to take the exam, and I will trouble second brother Lian here." Jia Baoyu Showing admiration, he gently put a top hat on him.

Jia Lian immediately showed a bit of color, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Baoyu, with me here, others can't bully the Lin family. Who dares to go against the Rongguo Mansion in Jingli? Even here, our four big families are also somewhat powerful!"

Jia Baoyu nodded in agreement, but didn't say anything more when he realized that the carriage had stopped.He was already certain in his heart that Jia Lian's family must have ordered something before Jia Lian came. In the previous life, Uncle Lin was critically ill, and it was Jia Lian who escorted Daiyu home to visit, and brought Daiyu back to Rongguo Mansion after the funeral, but there was no word on the Lin family's property. Mention, everyone in the mansion only knew that Daiyu was an orphan living in Jia's mansion, and even the servants said that every needle and thread came from Jia's mansion, but no one ever talked about how much money Uncle Lin had left for Daiyu.

Jia Baoyu got out of the carriage and walked into Lin's residence together with Jia Lian. He caught a glimpse of Jia Lian's hurried steps and knew that he was anxious to see how Uncle Lin was getting sick.It is clear that the letter mentioned a serious illness, but Lin Butler did not show any anxiety and sadness before. If Uncle Lin had already recovered from his illness, then he would have made the trip in vain, and he might be complained when he returned. in a hurry.

Sighing inwardly, Jia Baoyu felt helpless and powerless with his family's behavior.It is because there are such people around him that he cherishes Daiyu so much. Only Daiyu has no such complicated thoughts. To be good to him is to be good to him. How can you not be moved?As for other people, I am afraid that no one puts him first, their minds are too complicated, they will never know what contentment is, but they don't know, wanting too much will only cause trouble for themselves.

Although Lin Ruhai was not critically ill, but the loss of his wife and children made him feel hopeless. He hadn't taken care of his health for several years, and his vitality was still severely damaged. If the weather changed, he would suffer a minor illness.It had just rained two days ago, and Lin Ruhai accidentally contracted a cold and was resting in bed. Seeing Daiyu enter the door, he sat up excitedly and stretched out his hand to beckon her over, "Yu'er! Yu'er is back! Come here and let my father take a closer look? Why are you so thin? But why don't you take good care of your body?"

Lin Daiyu rushed to the bed, looked at the white hair beside her father's ear with sobs, and said in a trembling voice, "Father, I am the one who came back. My daughter is not filial. She has been away from home for many years and has never been filial to her father. She left her father alone at home. Father... ..."

At the end, Daiyu was sobbing. She was already sensitive and thoughtful, and the anguish that had been suppressed in her heart all these years burst out when she saw her aging father. Gradually growing old in grief, are their father and daughter going to be depressed like this forever, and there is no possibility of laughter anymore?

Seeing his daughter crying out of breath, Lin Ruhai was obviously panicked. After being separated for many years, he didn't know how to comfort her, so he was quite at a loss.

Jia Baoyu looked at Daiyu distressedly, his lips were pressed tight, but he didn't make a sound to stop him, he knew the pain in Daiyu's heart, if he didn't find a chance for her to vent it, he might be bored to death.He still couldn't forget that Daiyu died of coughing up blood. Even though Daiyu looked more cheerful these days, those things that happened were still pressed in her heart, and she could only forget them if she vented them to her heart's content.With his hands behind his back clenched into fists, he suddenly felt that he was too merciful to those servants with bad mouths. Feel the pain!

Jia Lian kept giving Jia Baoyu winks, but Jia Baoyu was unmoved and just stared at Lin Daiyu, which made him extremely embarrassed.He didn't know Lin Daiyu well, so he couldn't talk. He used to see Baoyu and the girls in his family getting close, but he didn't expect that he couldn't help him at critical moments. He was really useless!The same is true for Daiyu, who cried so sadly as soon as she got home, isn't this a slap in the face of Jia's family?Could it be that Jia's family treated her badly?

Jia Lian's face was faintly green, and finally smiled reluctantly, and bowed his hands to Lin Ruhai, "Jia Lian paid a visit to my uncle, my cousin was worried about my uncle's condition all the way, the most affectionate and filial piety, I haven't seen you for many years, I can't restrain myself for a while, it's better to let the maid serve the cousin first Freshen up?"

Lin Ruhai raised his head when he heard the sound, and his cloudy eyes flickered slightly. After all, he had been an official for many years, and he could clearly see Jia Baoyu's concern and Jia Lian's impatience at a glance, but his expression did not change. He was polite, "The two nephews have been exhausted all the way. The housekeeper has already tidied up the guest room, and he will take a rest first. We will have a good talk at lunch time."

Jia Lian had been observing Lin Ruhai's body since he entered the door. He didn't look like a dying person. He had no hope in his heart, so he didn't care about the arrangement, so he left with Butler Lin after a few polite words on the surface.Jia Baoyu looked at Daiyu worriedly, and respectfully saluted Lin Ruhai. Uncle's reconciliation will definitely solve the knot. Uncle and cousin have not seen each other for many years. When there is a lot to say, Baoyu is inconvenient to interrupt, so I will leave first. When uncle is free, Baoyu will come to chat with uncle again."

Lin Ruhai didn't know much about this nephew who wrote to him to persuade him to take Daiyu home, so he didn't say much, nodded with a smile, and patted Daiyu's shoulder, "I will take care of my daughter, nephew Don't worry, just go and rest, you still have to rush for the exam, don't be exhausted."

Jia Baoyu saluted again, and then exited the room worriedly. Passing by the exquisite garden, he didn't care to appreciate it. His mind was filled with Daiyu crying bitterly. No matter how smart she was, she was still different from others in front of her father, right?I couldn't hide my fragility at all.

The boy leading the way by the side became more and more cautious, obviously the Second Master Bao looked gentle and elegant before, why did his expression become colder and colder after seeing the master?Could it be that there was a conflict with the master?It's better to serve carefully, if you make the guests angry, he will be the one who suffers!

Although Jia Baoyu was a little irritable, he still didn't forget the important thing to do!The moment he met Lin Ruhai, he already had a general understanding of Lin Ruhai's condition.He had practiced with a monk, and he knew the methods of many gods in the eyes of the world, just like the Ma Daopo who once harmed him, if he appeared in front of his eyes at this time, he could immediately make the opponent's soul fly away!

Lin Ruhai's illness is not serious, as long as he refines some elixir for health and untie Lin Ruhai's heart knot, his body will gradually improve, and it will take two or three years to recover. If he takes the elixir all year round, he will still recover Can be stronger than ordinary people.Jia Baoyu thought of a suitable elixir, and ordered someone to buy back all the medicinal materials he needed. He would have to take a scientific examination later, and he would go up one level after another. Elixir, so as not to delay the illness.

The servant didn't know why, but it was not his business to buy medicinal materials for guests, so he reported it to the butler, and took Mingyan to the best medicine hall in Yangzhou to buy medicinal materials.

Mingyan bought all the medicinal materials and bought back a medicine cauldron according to Jia Baoyu's request. Mingyan thought that the medicine cauldron was only found in the scriptures, but he didn't expect that Zhenbao Pavilion really sold such strange objects. It was getting weirder and weirder, at first he was very uneasy, but later he saw the strangeness and felt that the master really had a great fortune, he knew everything, and it was his good fortune that he could follow this kind of master!

Jia Baoyu was very satisfied after inspecting the medicine cauldron and medicinal materials, and rewarded Mingyan and the servant with a few taels of silver.Lin Ruhai invited him and Jia Lian to have dinner, so he packed his belongings in a box, tidied up his clothes and went to the front hall.

Lin Daiyu was the only mistress in the mansion, and she ate in her own room. There were only Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian, and Jia Baoyu at the table. Put down the chopsticks after using some.Because Lin Ruhai didn't seem to be in any serious trouble, Jia Lian deeply felt that the other party's letter was a fraud, and he was very displeased.

Lin Ruhai was also looking for an opportunity to talk to Jia Baoyu alone. Seeing Jia Lian like this, he casually mentioned some famous restaurants in Yangzhou.

Jia Lian was bored in the mansion all afternoon and felt bored. Hearing what he said was like going out for a stroll. I heard that there are many beauties here, and you can have fun after eating in a restaurant. There is nothing wrong with it. reason?He thanked Lin Ruhai with a smile and got up to go.

Jia Baoyu looked at his back and shook his head, then turned around and looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile, "Uncle knows Second Brother Lian very well, this move is exactly what he wants, and I'm afraid he won't be able to think about leaving in the next few days."

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly and said, "Jia Lian doesn't have a city mansion, but he is a little shrewd but doesn't hide it deeply, so it's easy to see through. On the contrary, you are so different from what I've heard before that I can't understand it."

Jia Baoyu let him scrutinize him, his expression unchanged, "Uncle, you are serious. No matter what kind of temperament Baoyu is, he is harmless to uncle and cousin. He used to be, and he is still now."

Lin Ruhai's expression was unkind, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Although Yu'er lives in Jia's house, she is also the daughter of an official family, so she can't say things casually!"

"It's natural!" Jia Baoyu glanced at the side and saw that there were only the two of them in the room, and the rest had already retreated, so he solemnly got up and bowed down to salute, and said solemnly: "Baoyu admires my cousin, There is absolutely no frivolous heart, and I will never have the slightest involvement with other women in this life. I will never let my cousin be wronged again. I hope my uncle will know. Baoyu's words are not meant to be rude to her cousin, but just to express her heart. I will go to the scientific examination and wait for high school. , I must invite the elders in the family to propose marriage to my uncle in person, and I dare not act contemptuously, and my words are inappropriate, please forgive my uncle."

Lin Ruhai was stunned, and stared at Jia Baoyu for a while after recovering from his senses, his expression was very bad.Seeing this, Jia Baoyu hastily said: "Baoyu knows how much fame is to a woman, so she dare not be more polite, and has always kept a distance from her cousin. Uncle, please rest assured."

Lin Ruhai's face softened a little, but it was impossible for him to just listen to Jia Baoyu's one-sided words. Since Jia Baoyu wrote that Daiyu was not doing well in Jia's house, he regretted endlessly that he should not have listened to his dead wife's words and sent Daiyu away. In the Jia family, Daiyu has been reporting good news and not bad news all these years, and I don't know how much she has suffered.Xiao Xiang Daiyu, the boy from the Jia family, made him even more angry, but he had been in contact with Jia Baoyu a few times, and the other party had always behaved well, so he didn't say anything harsh, but his attitude was a lot colder.

"Yu'er is still young, and it's not time to think about marriage. Besides, it's against the rules for a child like you to come and tell me these things by your parents. I'll think about it when your father tells me. Yu'er You have been separated from me for too long, and I am not willing to marry her early, and I will keep her for a few more years, so you should put your heart into studying."

Jia Baoyu smiled wryly, knowing that it wouldn't make sense for a while, so he dropped the topic, and looked at Lin Ruhai seriously, "Uncle, to be honest, I was born with visions, and this jade pendant is the treasure that was born with me. In the past few years, I have been ignorant and ignorant. Now that I am awake, I know that this jade can turn evil into good fortune and prolong life. More importantly, my cousin’s body is congenitally deficient. It can nourish the body, recuperate slowly, and cure insufficiency. Baoyu’s words are true, and I can swear to prove it. It has something to do with my cousin. I hope my uncle will allow me to give this jade pendant to my cousin.”

"Nonsense!" Lin Ruhai frowned and shouted sharply, "I thank you for writing a letter to save me, Yu'er. I have treated you so politely. Regardless of those nonsense, you went so far as to try to send a token privately. If she goes out, will Yu'er's reputation be ruined?"

Jia Baoyu made another big gift, without much explanation, and simply swore a poisonous oath, "If this jade can't cure Daiyu's disease, then I will be struck by lightning and my soul be scattered! Uncle, everything I said is true! Daiyu She is the one in my heart, and I will never ignore her for my own selfish desires!"

Lin Ruhai was shocked by his poisonous oath. After calming down, he couldn't help thinking about his words. He had heard Jia Min mention Jia Baoyu's birth to Hanyu, and it was just a joke. After all, it was too bizarre. I am more willing to believe that it is Mrs. Wang's means of fighting for favor.Even if he later heard that Jia Baoyu would lose his mind if he left Yu, he still took it as an excuse for children not liking to study.But now, looking at Jia Baoyu's sincere appearance and hearing that vicious oath, he couldn't help but not believe it.

"You said that if you let Yu'er wear this jade pendant of yours, you can take care of your body without taking medicine? How long will it take to see results?"

Jia Baoyu thought for a while, and replied seriously: "My cousin is afraid of the cold, and will cough at night when she is slightly cold. If you wear this jade, your hands and feet should be warm, no different from ordinary people, and you will no longer be afraid of the cold. After three months Stop the cough, and after half a year, the energy and blood will be sufficient, and then you will be healthier and no longer sick and weak."

Lin Ruhai was silent for a long time after hearing this, "So, I will thank you for Yu'er, but there must be no news about her wearing this jade. If this jade is really effective, you can come to me for anything in the future."

Jia Baoyu didn't say much, he reached out and took off the jade pendant around his neck and handed it to Lin Ruhai.Although what Lin Ruhai said was simple, he knew that what Lin Ruhai meant was that he could get the favor owed by the Lin family and ask for help, but he could not ask Daiyu to marry him.And once there are any rumors, Lin Ruhai will definitely do his best to retaliate without leaving any room.

This is also in line with his wishes. He originally wanted to cure Daiyu's illness, not to repay his kindness. He told Lin Ruhai first that he was afraid that it would be too impolite to give it to Daiyu in private. After all, this jade pendant can be regarded as his representative. Those gadgets that can be bought casually are different.If Daiyu wasn't a fairy who descended to earth, he wouldn't have to be so troublesome. The fairy's method would have to be resolved in the same way. Medication alone won't work. Daiyu's identity is special, and her illness is also given by fate, so she can only use his jade pendant. Only then can the world be turned around, sometimes he really hates the so-called immortals who let them come down to practice, so what is the reason for arranging their fate at will?

Lin Ruhai held the jade pendant and looked at it, he could feel the extraordinaryness of the jade pendant, it was more gentle and delicate than the best jade pendant in his mansion, it could be called the best, it was worthy of that mysterious statement, and made him feel more at ease .Suddenly remembered the rumor that Jia Baoyu lost his soul after leaving Yu?Just as I raised my head to ask, I was startled by Jia Baoyu's words again.

"Uncle, I think your complexion is not good, and your vitality is insufficient. If you continue this way, you may destroy your foundation. Baoyu is not talented. He just happens to know some medicine, which can cure my uncle's illness. I have bought back the medicine cauldron and medicinal materials today, and I can practice it in three days. It’s a good health pill. At that time, uncle will take one pill every day, and after two or three years, his body will definitely be stronger than others.”

"What you said is true?" Lin Ruhai's illness was so procrastinating that he couldn't be cured, and he couldn't be cured even after changing several doctors. He only sighed that he needed a heart medicine for his heart disease, but he didn't expect Jia Baoyu to be able to cure it!

"Baoyu doesn't dare to play tricks, uncle should also let go of his mind, the cousin still needs to be taken care of by uncle."

"Yes, yes." After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ruhai decided to try Jia Baoyu's elixir. It couldn't be cured either. If there is a glimmer of hope, he should try it. Now he can't leave his daughter alone, so he can go after his dead wife with peace of mind. up.
