The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Lin Yao was not at all surprised that Jia Baoyu could ask "what is responsibility" and "why should he bear it?" After all, in his perception, Jia Baoyu is such a person who is sometimes smart and sometimes stupid.

In some respects, Jia Baoyu is very clever and clever, but in terms of human relationships, Lin Yao lacks some understanding, but if she compares with Jia Baoyu, Lin Yao feels that she is really transparent.

"In this world, there are many things that must be done, but you may not like to do them. This is the responsibility." Lin Yao said.

This is what Marx said, and it is very appropriate to answer Jia Baoyu now.

Jia Baoyu frowned, "There are many things I don't like to do, are these all my responsibility?"

"It depends on what you don't like to do." Lin Yao thought for a while and said.

Jia Baoyu said, "I don't like reading."

"Reading is not necessarily your responsibility, but it is closely related to your responsibilities." Lin Yao said.

Jia Baoyu was puzzled, "Why?"

"I remember... Brother Bao, you still have a brother, right?" Lin Yao asked after thinking about it.

Jia Baoyu was taken aback by the question. He did have an elder brother, but he passed away due to illness when he was six years old. It is the pride of his father, who was admitted as a scholar when he was only fourteen.

As the name suggests, Jiazhu people are like pearls and jade.

Before meeting Lin Yao, Jia Baoyu had always thought that his eldest brother was the most handsome and intelligent person in the world.

It's a pity that his elder brother, who was outstanding everywhere, fell ill and died.

After the elder brother died of illness, the master has been following him. Whenever the master tests him, he misses the elder brother. Of course, he knows that the master also misses the elder brother.

Who told him that he was inferior to his elder brother in everything?

Thinking of his gentle eldest brother, Jia Baoyu felt a little depressed, "I didn't expect Cousin Lin to know my brother."

"Cousin Lian has been to Yangzhou, and I also heard about it from cousin Lian." Seeing that Jia Baoyu was in a low mood, Lin Yao felt a little embarrassed, because he seemed to have really poked Jia Baoyu's sore spot, "Zhu If my cousin hadn't died young, the responsibility of this family would not fall on your head, do you know why?"

Jia Baoyu vaguely understood, "Because elder brother is the eldest son."

"That's right," Lin Yao said, "Cousin Zhu is the eldest son of the second uncle, so he should bear the responsibility as he should. If he died early due to illness, then the responsibility falls on you, because apart from Besides your eldest brother, you are the oldest, not counting your older sister, because your older sister will marry off sooner or later, and you have to bear this responsibility even if you don't want to."

"What responsibility do I have to bear?" Jia Baoyu didn't quite understand.

Lin Yao looked at Jia Baoyu. In fact, he said too much about some things, just to make shallow remarks, but since Jia Baoyu asked sincerely, Lin Yao didn't mind to say more.

"With your current status, what you have to bear now is the responsibility of being a son of man. Like your father, he has to bear not only the responsibility of being a son of man, but also the responsibilities of being a father, a husband, and a minister. As long as you live In this world, you can't escape responsibility, unless you die early like your elder brother, then you don't need to bear anything."

What do people bear when they die?

Jia Baoyu was choked by Lin Yao's series of words and didn't know how to react for a moment.

But Lin Yao could tell that Jia Baoyu was still dissatisfied.

"You can tell me what you think. I have time to answer it for you now. After today, if I want to meet again, I don't know when I will have to wait." Lin Yao said.

Jia Baoyu was provoked by this, couldn't hold back immediately, opened his mouth and said, "Elder Brother Zhen and Second Brother Lian in Dongfu, they didn't take the imperial examination and take the responsibility, why should I take the responsibility?"

"That's because they are incompetent and incompetent," Lin Yao said seriously, "but you have."

Jia Baoyu muffled, "What can I do?"

"You have the potential to learn skills. As I said before, as long as you study hard, you will be nominated on the list one day. This is your skill. But I also know that you hate economic careers and don't want to take this path. Road." Lin Yao sighed, "How glorious the Ningrong Second Mansion was in the past, but now the descendants are unworthy, and there is not a single one who stands in the same family."

Jia Baoyu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, "What do you mean there is no one with a strong family?"

"You don't understand what I said now. In fact, you are not willing to take responsibility, and no one can force you. After all, whether it is the old lady or your mother, they are all dedicated to protecting you. As long as you are not willing, you can be free. Feel free to be lazy."

What he said was too direct, Jia Baoyu was a little unhappy when he heard it, but he couldn't refute it, because what Lin Yao said was the truth.

As long as he said he was uncomfortable, he could stay at home and play with his sisters and sisters confidently. If the master wanted to beat him, he had to get past his wife and old lady first.

Ma'am, the master sometimes doesn't give face, but old lady, the master has to give face.

The side hall fell silent for a while, Jia Baoyu didn't speak, Lin Yao didn't find anything to talk about, the two of them were quiet.

After a while, Jia Baoyu asked in a muffled voice, "Does Cousin Lin look down on me?"

"Huh?" Lin Yao was a little surprised, "Why do you ask that?"

"I don't like reading, won't Cousin Lin look down on me?" Jia Baoyu said.

Lin Yao laughed and said, "It's your business that you don't like reading, why should I look down on you because of this?"

"But I can feel that Cousin Lin doesn't like me."

Lin Yao froze for a moment, turned her head to look, and met Jia Baoyu's gaze.

Jia Baoyu was one year younger than him, but because of his martial arts practice, he was more than half a head taller than Jia Baoyu.

In front of him, Jia Baoyu was just a child.

However, Lin Yao did not expect Jia Baoyu to be so sensitive.

Lin Yao's dislike for Jia Baoyu stems from the original work and also from Daiyu.

If he hadn't become Daiyu's elder brother, he wouldn't mind the matter between Bao and Dai. After all, it has nothing to do with him. The first two on the hairpin list were all picked up by him.

But as Lin Daiyu's elder brother, Lin Yao really had no choice but to vent her anger on Jia Baoyu for what happened to Daiyu in the original book.

Since I like Daiyu, why can't I be more responsible?Is your favorite so cheap?So tired that she died in tears?

But even if Jia Baoyu was angered because of this, Lin Yao didn't show it. Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu still felt it when he didn't show it. I have to say that the hero is the hero.

"Where do you get the feeling that I don't like you?" Lin Yao raised her eyebrows and asked.

Jia Baoyu looked at Lin Yao, lowered his head, "I just feel that you don't like me."

Totally intuitive.

Although this intuition is accurate, Lin Yao does not intend to admit it, "Brother Bao is worrying too much, I don't dislike you, don't think too much."

Jia Baoyu looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"

"Of course, there is no grudge between you and me. Why don't I like you?"

This explanation convinced Jia Baoyu, and after a while he regained his energy and began to chatter around Lin Yao.

Jia Baoyu didn't stop until the old lady passed on the dinner.

Because Lin Yao is not very old now, only ten years old, so he and Baoyu were left in the inner courtyard to eat together.

Sitting with them were four girls from Rongguo Mansion. As for the two aunts and two sisters-in-law, they did not eat here.

After dinner, Lin Yao went home with Lin Ruhai and the three of them.

On the way back home, the family talked and laughed, quite happily.

When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Daiyu and Lin Yao went back to their own yard together, because the two yards were adjacent, Lin Yao didn't see her off either, she just stood there and watched Daiyu walk away before entering the east yard.

After entering the east courtyard, Ye He came.

"This is a letter from master Ruan to you, sir, please read it."

Lin Yao accepted the letter and asked Ye He to go out.

Not in a hurry to read the letter, Lin Yao first opened the panel of the bracelet and turned on the task scroll, and saw that the special task was still displayed as unfinished.

Lin Yao immediately understood the content of the letter, but he opened it anyway.

In the letter, Ruan Yiran thanked Lin Yao for donating the medicine, but the detoxification pills he sent could only suppress strange poisons, but not detoxify them.

Lin Yao had expected this, so she was not disappointed.

The last time I delivered medicine to Ruan Yiran, Lin Yao also wrote a letter. In the letter, she mentioned that if the detoxification pill was useless, Ruan Yiran told him where to go to handle the poison. way.

Therefore, Ruan Yiran also mentioned in his letter what he was going to do in Beijing this time.

The last time Ruan Yiran was out of Beijing to do business, he was catching a thief. This thief was from the Jianghu, known as the 'God Thief', there was nothing he couldn't steal.

But this time, the thief was so bold that he entered the palace to steal something, and let him steal it.

It was the private property of the harem concubine that was stolen. The emperor was very angry, but he couldn't publicize such things, so he could only ask his little uncle Ruan Yiran for help. After all, Ruan Yiran was the emperor's uncle. When something like this happened, Ruan Yiran naturally had to help.

So Ruan Yiran took people out of Beijing to arrest them.

But this thief was very good at lightness, Ruan Yiran chased all the way to Yunnan, and only then did he catch the thief, but after he caught him, his subordinates were also poisoned with a strange poison, and the thief committed suicide.

Seeing the mention of Yunnan in the letter, Lin Yao thought in a daze that these people had been drugged.

But he had seen these poisoned people with his own eyes, and the black spots on their chests did not seem to be caused by drugs.

Lin Yao is a little bit blind, is it possible that he wants to go to Yunnan in person?

Rubbing the corners of her forehead, Lin Yao wrote a post and asked Ye He to send it to Chuanninghou Mansion.

He decided to ask Ruan Yiran to meet and talk about what happened in detail in person. After all, Ruan Yiran is also one of the parties involved. He should be very clear about what happened. If it doesn't work, he will go to another hospital in the suburbs of Beijing and ask these poisoned people .

In short, the cause of the poisoning must be found out, so that he can find a way to detoxify.

Fortunately, there is no time limit for this special task, otherwise Lin Yao would really die in a hurry.

The next day, Lin Yao came to Baiweiju again, and Ruan Yiran was still in the elegant room.

"You asked me to meet, what's the matter?" Ruan Yiran was preoccupied, obviously still worrying about the poisoned subordinate.

Lin Yao said, "Of course it is because of the strange poison in your hands. To be honest, the detoxification pill in my hand is different from other detoxification pills. I believe you have already sensed it, so I am also a little curious, what kind of strange poison is it?" , I can't even solve the detoxification pill in my hand, I don't have the mind to study if I can't solve this doubt."

Ruan Yiran laughed when he heard it, "Aren't you going to become a hero? Why are you interested in these dirty tricks? I advise you to focus on studying, and you should leave the strange and poisonous things alone. Think of a way."
