[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

When Qingwen went, Lin Daiyu was talking lively with Baochai.

Lin Daiyu was surprised when she saw her coming, so she asked what's the matter?

Qingwen looked at Baochai, smiled embarrassedly, and said to Lin Daiyu, "Master Baocong came back from the East Mansion. He got drunk and made a fuss about looking for a girl. Miss, go and see?"

"The banquet just started right now? Why did you get drunk?" Although Lin Daiyu was puzzled, she still cared about Baochai, so she stood up and bid farewell to Baochai: "Sister Bao, I'll go back today and come back another day Looking for you to play."

Baochai answered with a smile, and sent Lin Daiyu out again.Just seeing her and Qingwen walk away all the way, some thoughts came to mind.

Brother Baocong was drunk, so he only had to look for sister Lin when he came back.Sister Lin didn't seem to be annoyed at him at all, it seemed that the friendship between the two was really extraordinary.

She also thought of Bao Cong's daily life.

Although he is a bit reckless, he is more mature than Baoyu, and he is more mature than Baoyu. I heard that he studies closely with the Four Books and Five Classics, and also knows a little about market economy. Except that he is not as good as Baoyu, he will make girls happy from time to time, and the rest is not bad at all. of.

However, he seems to only value Sister Lin in his heart... Thinking about it, Baochai sighed.

Qingwen surrounded Lin Daiyu all the way back to Jia Mu's yard, and hurriedly told her the reason: "It's not that the third master was drunk, but he was a little unhappy watching him. I didn't answer him, and he just lay on the bed and sighed." That's why I thought of asking the girl to go and have a look, the third master will definitely not sigh when he sees the girl."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she became anxious and asked Qingwen, "Do you know why? How can you go to the banquet and come back unhappy? Where's the boy with him?"

Qingwen said, "I've asked Musk Moon to ask."

While speaking, several people arrived at the gate of the yard, and Musk Moon was waiting at the gate.

Seeing Lin Daiyu coming, she hurried forward to report: "Following the young man of the third master, the third master went to Dongfu. He was fine before, and then went to see Grandma Rong's illness with Second Mistress Lian and Baoyu. After coming out , the third master was in a mess, saying he was going back to sleep, and came home by himself."

As Lin Daiyu walked in, she asked, "What about the second grandma Lian and Baoyu?"

Musk Moon then replied: "I heard that when Bao Cong came back, they were still in Grandma Rong's room. They should be having a banquet right now!"

All the way into the back room, Lin Daiyu saw Xi Renqin guarding the door of Baocong's room.Seeing Lin Daiyu coming, she also breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted her, pouting, telling Lin Daiyu to look at Baocong through the gap.

Sure enough, Bao Cong was lying on the bed, neither taking off his clothes nor covering his quilt, covering his forehead and eyes with his hands, looking decadent.

The attacker whispered: "Just now we wanted to go in and wait for him to take off his shoes to rest, but the third master didn't allow us to touch him, and even I kicked him out. Girl, go in and have a look."

Lin Daiyu nodded, took the cloak and went straight to Baocong's room.

Xiren pulled Qingwen and waved to a group of girls, and a large group of people went out quietly.

Bao Cong was lying on the bed, more and more worried, when he heard Lin Daiyu's voice saying: "Brother, didn't you have fun in the East Mansion? Why are you sighing?"

He took his hand away and opened his eyes to see that it was indeed Lin Daiyu who came, so he quickly sat up and said, "Your sister is here? Sit down!"

Lin Daiyu responded, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside his bed, reached out and touched his sad face, worried: "What's wrong?"

Bao Cong said sullenly: "I went to see Rong's daughter-in-law, and she didn't look very good."

Lin Daiyu has also met Qin Keqing, and knows that she has always been kind and caring, and now that such a good person is not recovering from her illness, she is naturally sad, so she shed a few tears and said: "Poor such a good person, You can't live to be a hundred years old, but you got sick like this for no reason."

That's right, good people don't live long, but evil people last for thousands of years.

Bao Cong thought of the original book, where Lin Daiyu, Yuanyang, Yingchun, Qingwen and others all died in their teens or twenties.Tanchun married far away, and Xichun became a monk, just like Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Jia's mother and Yuanchun Wang, who were considered capable women, had a miserable ending.

The women of Jia's family are all suffering. In the final analysis, isn't it because the men of Jia's family have no skills, neither can protect them, nor can they teach and control them?

Bao Cong suddenly lost his mind and began to doubt himself.He was deluded by the fake wealth in Jia's house, wasting time like this, how many people could he really save in the future?

After thinking about it, he suddenly felt some intention of parting... But, Lin Daiyu is alone, what should she do in Jia's house?

Lin Daiyu first saw that Bao Cong's eyes were empty and lost in thought, and then she saw him staring at her suddenly with a pale face, and suddenly panicked for no reason.

So she quickly took his hand and called him anxiously: "Bao Cong! Bao Cong!"

Bao Cong suddenly came back to his senses, and was facing Lin Daiyu with fairy eyes that were about to cry, and asked him anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

At first she only thought that Bao Cong was sad because of Qin Keqing's illness, but now that she looked closely, it didn't seem like it, and she didn't know what happened to him, so she became more and more worried.

Bao Cong was stunned for a while, seeing that Lin Daiyu was frightened by him, he quickly hugged her gently, patted her on the back to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, sister, don't be afraid, I, I'm just afraid that you will be wronged here!"

Lin Daiyu was puzzled, not knowing how Bao Cong remembered this.

She recalled when she was awkward when she was a child, what he said to her before, she took it out and said to him: "I'm not afraid, didn't you say that you want to protect me, why don't you worry about me? How can I be wronged?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Lin Daiyu felt her shoulders were wet, only to hear Bao Cong lying on her shoulders, crying in a suppressed way: "Sister, you, you must not wrong yourself here..."

She had never seen Baocong cry before, and Lin Daiyu felt so distressed that she could only hug him and coax him, then took a nap with him, and had dinner together.

Later, when Jiamu and others came back, they sent someone to ask Baocong and tell him to go over and talk.

But Bao Cong washed up and went to sleep. He left Lin Daiyu there and talked with Jia Mu Baoyu alone.

On the next day, Lin Daiyu looked at Baocong again.Although he still had a grinning face, the two of them occasionally looked at each other, seeing the more reluctance in his eyes than before, they still felt something different.

No wonder Lin Daiyu felt the difference.

Bao Cong had the idea of ​​saying goodbye yesterday, and he thought about it all night last night, and that idea, like a weed, took root in his heart more and more.Rao is that he conceals it very well, but Lin Daiyu has always known his temperament and thoughts, so how could he not notice it at all?

Bao Cong invited Ann to joke with Jia Mu for a while, and drove Bao Yu to the home school for class, and then rode a horse to find Ruan Zhongwen.

There is no one in Jia's mansion who can discuss important matters, so he still believes in Ruan Zhongwen's idea.

When he arrived at Ruan's house, Bao Cong visited Ruan Zhongwen first, and saw that although he was still ill, he was still in good spirits, so he thought about it and said, "Nowadays, the family school is in a mess, and I don't want to waste time. The ancients said, read thousands of books. It’s better to travel thousands of miles.”

"I heard that there are some famous academies in Jiangnan, Shandong and other places. I want to go on a study tour. I wonder what the teacher thinks?"

At that time, people were studying and studying, and they often went out to study for a few years, but Jia's mother doted on it, and Jia's family did not have this tradition. At this time, when Bao Cong mentioned this case, Ruan Zhongwen was surprised.

However, the teacher is not unhappy when the students are eager to learn.

So Ruan Zhongwen said: "It's good that you have such thoughts. Just go out, you have to worry about food, drink, housing and transportation, and don't go to those messy places."

"You only hear that going out to study is good, but you don't know that there are also those who can't control themselves, and come back after studying dirty things. If you go out, you must always be vigilant, distinguish right from wrong, and make progress through learning. First priority!"

After hearing this, Bao Cong nodded his head again and again, and said, "Students must remember Master's teachings!"

After chatting for a while about going out, Bao Cong wanted to say goodbye, and solemnly bowed to Ruan Zhongwen, saying: "Once the students go, they can only come back if they don't know if it's right. Teacher, you must take care of yourself. When the students come back, I will continue to greet you." Asking for advice!"

Ruan Zhongwen was very happy to hear that, and said with a smile: "Although I can't be an official in the court in this life, it's worth it to accept you as a student!"

As he said that, he called Baocong Momo again, put on his coat, got up, and said, "I have a brother who teaches at Hangzhou Bailu College. I will write you a letter. If you go to Hangzhou, you can go to that college to have a look." , Greet senior brother for me."

Bao Cong got the recommendation, and felt Ruan Zhongwen's love and care even more in his heart, so he was very grateful, bowed a few more times, thanked him again and again, and then left.

Because he made up his mind to study abroad, Bao Cong paid more attention to Lin Daiyu's food and drink.He personally went outside to find a lot of bird's nest and ginseng to give to Lin Daiyu.

Hearing that the imperial doctor said that the five grains nourish people, he asked the servant to grind the five grains into fine powder, so that Lin Daiyu could drink it with milk on weekdays, or let Zijuan and the others make cakes to eat.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu couldn't guess that Bao Cong was leaving?

It's just that Bao Cong didn't say anything, and it's not easy for her to ask, so she can only think about it in her heart.

Bao Cong's heart was also heavy. For a while, he was thinking about how to sneak away without telling Mrs. Jiamu Wang and others, and for a while, he was worried that Lin Daiyu would be unhappy after he left?

Or without him by her side, she would still have Baoyu to make her happy. After a few years, she would only have Baoyu in her heart, and there would be no place for him to stand.

After thinking about it, he couldn't bear to part with Lin Daiyu, so the day of leaving was delayed again and again.

However, when the winter solstice came, a letter from Lin Ruhai broke the deadlock.

Lin Ruhai is seriously ill, so she wants to take Lin Daiyu's home to see her!

When Bao Cong heard the news, he hurried to see Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu's room was in a mess, she was already packing her luggage, and she had already booked a boat for the next day.

She wiped her tears with her handkerchief, and seeing Bao Cong come in in a panic, she cried and said, "That's all right, I'll leave before you leave."
