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

In the middle of the night, when Baoyu was asleep, Baocong got up quietly and went straight to his study.

He took out the piece of jade from the brocade box on the bookshelf, looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it looked like Baoyu's jade.

Although it doesn't glow red, it doesn't look like it can talk.

In the dream in the afternoon, it seemed that two strange men took Baoyu's jade away, and Baoyu's jade was indeed lost...

Rubbing this piece of jade, Bao Cong suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He dug out his own carving tools, recalling Baoyu's piece of jade, and engraved exactly the same characters on this inexplicable piece of jade.

Bao Cong's jade carving skills have long been perfected, but when carving this piece of jade, it is obviously laborious, as if this piece of jade is particularly hard.

However, it took almost two hours, and when it was almost dawn, he still carved the jade.

After the engraving is finished, I will see that this piece of jade is exactly the same as that of Baoyu.

If it weren't for the words "attribute" floating on it, Bao Cong would not have believed that this piece of jade was imitated and carved by him just now.

only......

He rubbed his red eyes and swore that he really wasn't dazzled.

On Xiaoyu, the attributes that emerge are health +20 and sanity 1+.

What is sanity?

And the number is 1+, not +1, which looks weird...

Could it be that he carved something strange?

Among all the jade stones he carved, there is not a single piece of jade that has the attribute of sanity.

But looking at the literal meaning, it shouldn't be a bad attribute.

It was already dawn, and Bao Cong didn't go to sleep anymore, so he went directly to Bao Yu and put Yu in the crevice of the bed.

Because of the loss of Baoyu's jade, there was a lot of trouble here last night at Baoyu.It's better to pretend to find it earlier, so as not to make a fuss for everyone to think that something terrible happened.

When Baoyu woke up in the morning, Baocong pretended to find jade from the gap and put it back on Baoyu.

Xiren was overjoyed to see Yu, thanked God for a while, and hurriedly asked the little girl to tell Mrs. Wang.

Baoyu giggled, touched the jade on his chest with his fingers, and said to Baocong, "Now I have a new jade."

Surprised, Baocong quickly covered Baoyu's mouth and told him to keep silent.

Looking back at Xiren, Xiren was just about to have breakfast, but he didn't hear Baoyu's words.

Bao Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to Bao Yu: "What nonsense, this is your jade. Don't talk about new jade and old jade in the future!"

Baoyu nodded with a smile. Seeing that breakfast was coming, she got out of bed barefoot, ran to the table, and stretched out her hand to eat the buns.

Xiren hurriedly took the shoes by the bed, squatted on the ground to put them on for Baoyu, and said, "It's cold on the ground, don't run around without your shoes on, you're still sick!"

Baoyu held the bun and smiled, but said nothing.

Seeing that he was in good spirits and smiling, Xiren felt relieved and asked him to eat.

Bao Cong also watched Baoyu's situation while eating breakfast with him.

I saw Baoyu smiling all the time, and he would eat whatever Xiren fed him, neither picky nor refused.

Before the meal was finished, Mrs. Wang arrived in a hurry.

"How is Baoyu today?" Mrs. Wang looked at Baoyu and asked Xiren.

Xiren replied happily: "When I got up today, the second master looks in good spirits and eats deliciously."

Mrs. Wang put her hands together and recited a sentence of Buddha's blessing, and said happily: "Since I can eat well, I guess Baoyu's illness will be cured!"

Bao Cong also smiled and said, "Ma'am, don't worry now. I have already asked Qingwen to tell the old ancestor that Baoyu is much better. When the old ancestor is happy, the disease may be cured!"

Because of Baoyu's illness, Jia's mother was getting old and stayed up late for a few days. She couldn't support her anymore and fell ill.

Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly, wiped her sore nose and tears again, and said straightly: "Buddha bless, ancestor bless!"

After breakfast, Bao Cong was going to study in the study outside, worried that Bao Yu would pull him away, but Bao Yu was quiet, only rubbing Xiao Yu hanging on his chest with his fingers.

Bao Cong walked to the door of the house and turned back, seeing that Xiaoyu's attributes of health and sanity were well reflected on it, and he immediately felt relieved.

I hope that Baoyu can return to normal soon with this piece of jade.

After a few more days, Baoyu's body was almost completely recovered, but his mental state was a little problematic.

He was smiling and asking him questions every day, sometimes he answered, sometimes he didn't answer, and sometimes he said the wrong thing.

But it's better than yelling, crying all the time with a pale face, or clamoring for Lin Daiyu's appearance before.

Everyone in Jia's house was half happy and half worried. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings every day, and gave out porridge to add money, hoping that Baoyu would get well soon.

Baocong quietly went to look at Xiaoyu on Baoyu's chest, only to see that the above attributes, health is still +20, but sanity has become 2+.

It turns out that this psychic attribute will increase!

He let out a long breath, only feeling that most of the heavy rock in his heart had been let go.

No matter what the mental attribute is, he guessed, it should be beneficial to Baoyu.

When the new year was approaching, Baochai went to bid farewell to Mrs. Wang again, and wanted to go back to live in her own house.

Mrs. Wang thought to herself that when Baoyu was in good health, she was going to discuss marriage with Xue's family, so she didn't stop her and asked Aunt Xue to take Baochai back.

During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Wang took advantage of Jia's mother's happiness and brought up the matter of making an engagement for Baoyu.

One is because Baoyu wants to get married before Baocong, and the other is that Baoyu is still "ill", so it's good to have a big happy event.

Mother Jia naturally agreed, and Wang Xifeng figured out what Mrs. Wang meant, and mentioned Baochai in due course.

"Among the girls I've met, only Miss Bao is the kindest and most thoughtful, even I can't compare to her. Isn't such a good girl a match for Baoyu?" Wang Xifeng praised and flattered Baochai Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang said a few words, and they flattered for a long time.

Mrs. Wang also smiled and said: "Old Ancestor, we have been choosing and choosing a few days ago. After seeing so many girls, they are really not as suitable as Baochai. Others are second. The rare thing is that Baoyu is willing to listen to her advice. .”

Mother Jia nodded after hearing this, and said, "Baoyu is childish, and now she needs a considerate daughter-in-law to take care of her. Baochai has always been good. If she takes care of her, we can rest assured."

So, she discussed with Mrs. Wang, and told Jia Zheng that she planned to choose a good day to formally go to Xue's family to propose marriage.

There are many good days in the first month. Originally, Aunt Xue went to Jia's house to pay New Year's greetings, but Mrs. Wang went to Xue's house early to pay New Year's greetings, and it was precisely with Aunt Xue that she proposed marriage.

Aunt Xue had been interested for a long time, and when Mrs. Wang mentioned it, she agreed and discussed the wedding date.

According to the etiquette of the ancients, princes and nobles had to prepare for the whole process for at least half a year.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang discussed with Jia Zheng and asked Jia's mother to set the wedding date of Baoyu and Baochai at the end of June, and that of Baocong and Lin Daiyu at the beginning of August.

Because Jia's mansion was busy with their marriage, so just after the first month, everyone was busy up and down.

Bao Cong was very happy when he learned that the wedding date had been fixed, and he paid more attention to his daily reading.

Baoyu's spirit gradually improved, and he and Baocong went to the study outside, but they stumbled, not to mention the Four Books and Five Classics, even the poetry anthology he liked before, and he forgot a lot, just like an illiterate who hasn't studied for two years .

But Bao Cong is not too worried, because the mental attribute of Xiaoyu brought by Baoyu has been slowly increasing.

The whole Jia's mansion was soaked in joy, but in March, something big happened in Jia's mansion!

News came from the palace that Yuanchun had a miscarriage!

Bao Cong was shocked. In his impression, he didn't seem to remember Yuan Chun's miscarriage at all!

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang rushed to visit Yuan Chun in the palace, and when they came back, they didn't look very well, saying that Yuan Chun was seriously ill.

In ancient times, it was difficult to give birth to a child. Yuan Chun was already in his thirties, which was considered an advanced age.This time she had a miscarriage, if her health was not well maintained, let alone another child, it would be difficult to save her life.

Bao Cong was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Could it be that Yuan Chun's early death from illness in the original book was related to this miscarriage?
