Love the Red House

Chapter 35: Soft-spoken

Daiyu originally planned to say a few words of persuasion since she met him, and that's all. Now that she heard what he said, she suppressed her expression, shook her head and said: "I sympathize with Brother Huan's situation, but I am sympathetic to Brother Huan's words." Disagree."

Pursing his lips and smiling lightly, his tone was clear but solemn: "Brother Huan, if you don't even have self-esteem, how can you expect others to look at you? You should know that if a person is humiliated, he must first humiliate himself, and if a person strengthens himself , will be able to reverse the predicament, stand out from the crowd, and become a superior person.”

Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help being taken aback, lowered his head for a long time, Fang muttered: "With my status, how can I dare to hope to be a superior person? I only hope that this family can treat me and my aunt as human beings." , love me more, and look after Aunt Gu, and I will be very satisfied."

After hearing these words, seeing his mournful eyes and timid expression, Daiyu secretly sighed, thousands of thoughts flooded her heart, no matter how difficult it was to calm down.

Only those who have encountered ups and downs and been treated coldly will deeply yearn for the respect of others and look forward to receiving sincere care.

This kind of thinking can only be deeply understood by those who have experienced it personally.

For example, what I look forward to, depending on others like this, is not rich clothes and good food, not riches and glory, but the true love and care given by my relatives.

At this moment, Jia Huan's words swayed into Daiyu's heart, which made Daiyu feel sorry for her, and she felt sympathy for the young man in front of her.

After thinking about it again, in fact, Jia Huan didn't do anything bad except behaving pettyly, making mistakes in advance and retreat, and often making fun of the servant girls on weekdays. For filial piety, there are merits.

That being the case, why don't I explain it to him, so that he no longer feels sorry for himself and gives up on himself?

When such a thought came to her mind, Daiyu opened her pearly lips lightly, let out a sigh of relief, tried her best to calm down, raised her eyebrows and said, "I understand what Brother Huan means, but the situation in Jia's mansion is also difficult for Brother Huan." It should be crystal clear."

Staring at Jia Huan, his bright eyes look like warm jade, and then he said: "Today I met Brother Huan here, I think it is fate, since this is the case, I will say what I have, and I will never shy away from it."

"It is an indisputable fact that in this mansion, the second wife is respected and Baoyu is the treasure. As for you and your aunt, not many people care about it."

"Even if you have expectations, even if you want to be valued by others, if you do nothing but talk empty words and give up on yourself, then after ten years, even twenty years, you will still be in the same situation as you are now. , there will never be any change, you should understand this truth, right?"

After hearing these words, Jia Huan's pupils shrank, a little stunned, a little shocked, and a little bit lost. Obviously, he had never heard such words before.

After a long time, Jia Huan raised his head, looked at Daiyu with tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Sister Lin comes from a scholarly family, she has read a lot of poetry and books, and every word she says is a serious principle, but I am like this." A person who can't even enter a private school, and can't even save an aunt, how can he do anything else? Thinking about it, in the future, he will just be obedient and beg for perfection."

Daiyu shook her head lightly, and said decisively: "Brother Huan, why do you say such things? Although you are still young, you are a dignified man, and you should behave like a man in everything you do."

"I know that Baoyu has received all the care and love from the people in the family, but Brother Huan has met them with cold treatment. This makes Brother Huan feel very depressed. I can understand all of this."

"You are dissatisfied with your situation, feel aggrieved, and feel very unfair. What you have to do is not to give up on yourself, let alone resign yourself to fate, but to be strong, determined, and do a career, so that my aunt can be relied on for life Those people with high eyebrows and low eyes are so ashamed that they dare not underestimate you."

After hearing these words, Jia Huan was even more shocked, staring blankly at Daiyu, and saw that her face was beautiful and picturesque, but her brows were radiant, with a little warmth, a little earnestness, and a little encouragement.

Seeing Daiyu like this, Jia Huan was moved, but still timid in his heart. After a long silence, he frowned and said, "Sister Lin's insight is so high that Huan'er really admires her, but Huan'er wants to ask , Sister Lin, do you really think that with Huaner's talent, she can really stand out and be proud?"

Daiyu nodded immediately, without a moment's hesitation, and said solemnly: "You are asking the wrong question. I think you should have heard the phrase 'As long as you work hard, an iron rod can be ground into a needle'. From this sentence, you know the truth. In the world, there is no ability or not, only willingness or not.”

Jia Huan's eyebrows twitched, she was still confused, and asked in bewilderment, "What does Sister Lin mean by that?"

Daiyu's eyes were like waves, and she said slowly: "Brother Huan, don't you understand? Most of the celebrities and heroes in history came from poor families, or people who have experienced hardships and hardships."

"And these people have one thing in common, that is, they have already made up their minds when they were young. No matter how hard the journey is, how difficult it is, how many years of waiting they have to go through, they always have the same ambition Don't give up on your dreams."

Speaking of this, he looked down at Jia Huan, his eyes were warm, and his voice was soft but earnest: "The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. One day, they will come out on top, and at that time Brother Huan will be able to straighten his body and stand upright in front of everyone in the Jia family, even if he is an aunt, he will be a mother and a son, and he will be depended on for life."

Hearing these words, Jia Huan was startled suddenly, his eyes turned scorching hot, with a sense of leisurely fascination, but gradually dimmed, and dejectedly said: "I understand what Sister Lin said, but those who have made achievements People, the wealth and fame they get are all predestined, I am just an ordinary person, how can I have such abilities? How can I do such a difficult thing?"

A soft smile floated on her lips, and Daiyu said seriously: "Brother Huan, why should you belittle yourself? No one's fate is destined at birth. The most important thing is your own efforts."

"It is indeed very difficult to take this step, but the sages have said: "Heaven will send a great mission to man, so he must first suffer from his will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, empty his body, and disturb his actions." , so move your heart and patience, gain what you can't', the truth contained in this sentence, even if I don't say it, Brother Huan will understand."

"So, as long as Brother Huan is willing, he will have a bright future. Needless to say, as for now, I am willing to help Brother Huan and give my heart a little bit."

When Jia Huan heard this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of disbelief, he opened his mouth, and after a while he stabilized his voice, and said in surprise: "Sister Lin, I seem to have heard you say that you are willing to help me, I don't know why?" Are the words true?"

"Of course it's true, why should I lie to you?" Daiyu raised her eyebrows lightly, with warmth flowing between her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "I've already thought about it, in Brother Huan's situation, if you want to get ahead, the most direct way To choose is to participate in the imperial examination and seek fame."

"Although Brother Huan cannot go to a private school, when I came to Beijing, I brought thousands of books from the collection of the Lin Mansion. There are not a few books that should be made. If Brother Huan is willing, I will select the books and give them to Brother Huan. As for things like pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I can do my best."

Speaking of which, he raised his plain hand and pulled the jasper bracelet on his wrist. His voice was a little louder: "I think Brother Huan is a man with a pure temperament and a filial piety to his mother. As long as you have correct beliefs and don't get discouraged, If you don't give up, you will definitely achieve something in the future, I have such confidence in Brother Huan, I don't know if Brother Huan is willing to give it a try?"

After hearing these words, Jia Huan's eyes flashed, revealing excitement, shock, and gratitude, but she shed tears in a daze, feeling overwhelmed with grief.

Seeing his tears streaming down his face, Daiyu was stunned, she couldn't tell the reason, but she didn't speak, she just stood there, waiting peacefully, silent like a painting.

After a long time, Jia Huan just wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said with doubts: "Leaving aside other things for the time being, I would like to know, I don't have much friendship with Sister Lin, why is Sister Lin treating me sincerely? "

Daiyu smiled slightly, and said without thinking: "If you say this, it's because I can vaguely see my own shadow on you."

Jia Huan was even more puzzled, his brows furrowed, and he asked: "Why did Sister Lin say that? How can there be any similarities between Sister Lin and I?"

The smile on Daiyu's lips subsided slightly, and she sighed: "It is true that you and I have different identities and different circumstances, but we are both trapped in this high wall and deep courtyard, equally lonely, and have the same longing to be able to live." To be respected, the same expectation of true love and care."

Jia Huan was startled when he heard the words, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that Sister Lin is in a pitiful situation, but she cares about me so much, it really makes people feel deeply moved."

Sighing, he said gratefully: "In this huge Jia family, except for sister Lin, no one has ever said such a thing to me." As he spoke, tears flowed from his eyes again, and he was choked up and unable to speak. .

Daiyu sighed softly, and said softly: "I know Brother Huan is emotional, what he's doing now is human nature, but, no matter what, Brother Huan is a man, how can he shed tears so easily?"

"Looking up, there are only two paths in front of Brother Huan. One is to do nothing and live the day as it is, and everything will remain the same, and suffer all kinds of grievances and contempt; the other is to treat the predicament as a Honing, relying on one's own ability, create a world, so that all those who despise you can no longer lift their heads."

"That's all I can say. Brother Huan should decide what to do in his future life."
