[Red Mansion] February is the season of wishing

After reading it, Daiyu crumpled the paper expressionlessly and threw it into the brazier.The brazier was burning hot, and when the tongue of fire licked, the ball of paper was reduced to ashes.

No one in the room dared to speak for a while.

Daiyu watched the ashes melt into the ashes of the charcoal, and there was no trace of them anymore. She silently shed a tear and wiped it away.She took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to perform the ceremony."

One of the great significance of Jiji ceremony is to announce to everyone that she has reached the age of marriage and can marry off.

What Daiyu said meant that she didn't want to get married anymore.

This sentence shocked the old servant of the Lin family, but Lin Ruhai seemed to have just heard ordinary gossip, and said in a discussion manner: "Tell me the reason."

Daiyu thought to herself that Baoyu had a heart-to-heart relationship with her, but men and women were not jealous, and they made friends everywhere.The rest of the men, those who concealed their marriages, only treated each other with respect, and it was even more embarrassing.

If she doesn't marry well, after a hundred years from her father, she can only live by, and it is unknown that her old age will be miserable.

But she couldn't say that.The secular world does not allow women to be jealous and self-willed.

Daiyu only said: "I want Xue Baoqin to take me to the West."

Lin Ruhai immediately said: "Yes."

Daiyu couldn't believe it, but Lin Ruhai smiled and patted her head: "You are the only daughter I have, so naturally you are happy."

Daiyu was stunned for a while, not knowing how to express the endless gratitude in her heart, and finally nodded silently.

……

Xue Biao was discussing marriage with the Mei family.The Mei family has an ambiguous attitude and is always uncertain.

Xue Biao was originally irritable, thinking that her younger sister was getting older, and procrastination was not a problem, so she had to carry her into Mei's house.Pianlin's family sent a message, inviting him to go to the West.

In order to prevent Japanese pirates, the Great Zhou Dynasty opened a sea ban and only opened a port in Guangzhou, handling countless goods.The profits are so vast, and the unspoken rules are as deep as the sea, he couldn't help being tempted when he heard it.

There is another sentence in the message from the Lin family: "We already know about the Mei family's breach of contract, so there is no need to marry."

Xue Biao went through the north and the south, and he was more open-minded about Xue Baoqin's future. He didn't force her to marry someone. Seeing that she could have the Lin family as a backer, she was ecstatic, and went to discuss with Xue Baoqin.

The Xue family was originally involved in some maritime business, but it was abandoned after the death of Xue Pan's father.Xue Baoqin immediately said "good" and said, "When there was no kid from Jia's family, Miss Lin was always good-natured. Overseas women can also talk and bring good guards. This time, we only need to be cautious about wind and rain. stop."

When Xue Biao got the right words, he reported back to the Lin family.

The Lin family immediately made intensive preparations.

Twenty years later, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baoqin went to Nanyang together.

The Holy One who got the news specially summoned Lin Ruhai, talked about this anecdote with a smile, and said: "I originally planned to let your daughter be assigned to my boy."

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly and said: "That day in Jia's mansion, I asked the doctor to give my little girl a pulse, but the result was that there was not much time left. This minister just thought, let her have fun for two days, and don't stick to the world."

The emperor smiled and said, "She is blessed to have you as a father."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but lament the guilt she felt towards her daughter after the suspended animation, and then she begged for grace, hoping that the Holy Majesty would allow Daiyu to marry her.

The Holy One didn't intend to have a sick daughter-in-law at all, and he had also heard about Miss Lin's reputation outside—how could an ordinary boudoir girl be known by outsiders?Knowing that it was the Jia family's fault, but couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Daiyu, so she immediately agreed with the situation with a smile.

After a match between the monarch and his ministers, Lin Ruhai returned to the Lin Mansion with cold sweat all over his back.

The old servant of the Lin family notified him very anxiously: "The Xue family and the Jia family have fixed their marriage date."

Lin Ruhai: "Oh." My daughter has already gone to Nanyang. They get married and have children. What does it matter to my daughter?

The old servant of the Lin family said: "Jia Baoyu..." He was a bit speechless, "He ran away."

"Run away?" Lin Ruhai asked politely.

It took a long time for the old servant of the Lin family to pick out a word: "I escaped marriage."

Lin Ruhai's tone was calm: "Picked up by Beijing Palace?"

The King of Beijing Jing is a strange person. Before Jia Baoyu was the son-in-law in the Duke's mansion, he just hooked up if he wanted to hook up. Now that the Jia family has fallen, it is not strange that he was picked up by the King of Beijing... right?

The old servant of the Lin family: "Prince Zhongshun also sent people to search for Baoyu, but they couldn't find it."

Lin Ruhai is indifferent: ...I don't want to know who Jia Baoyu is related to.

The old servant of the Lin family continued: "I heard from people in Prince Zhongshun's mansion that the last person Jia Baoyu came into contact with was someone from Duke Li's mansion. It is suspected that Liu Xianglian took him away."

Lin Ruhai: ... Oh.Should he mourn for his daughter's heart?

"Liu Xianglian said, Jia Baoyu begged him to help him leave the capital just to hide from the Xue family and the Jia family, and now he has already left the capital."

Lin Ruhai: "...You can just finish talking."

Even he couldn't stand the ups and downs.

The old servant of the Lin family: "The latest news I got now is that Jia Baoyu has already cut off his hair and left Beijing to visit famous temples. He must have become a monk."

Lin Ruhai: "Oh."

Lin Ruhai: "Find Miss Xue a good marriage, don't worry about the rest of the Jia family."

……

Ten years later.

The ports in Guangdong are bustling and bustling with crowds.A line of treasure ships is like a dormant monster, heading towards the port.

The soldiers at the port hurriedly dispersed the idlers and let the other small boats move aside for the treasure ship to dock.

Xue Baoqin was wearing a golden wig and a western dress, standing on the deck against the wind.Looking at the envious and shocked expressions of those people when they looked at the ship, he sighed: "It used to be a treasure ship of my Great Zhou Dynasty, but I actually had to find blueprints from a small country in the South Seas, and now it's for the common people to watch. It's really..."

Daiyu put on the veiled hat, and through the black veil, she could only vaguely see the outline of her face and her bright eyes.

Fortunately, she was not engulfed by the diseases and storms in Nanyang, and after she survived, her body became healthier day by day.In a trance, ten years have passed, and she and Bao Qin have become close friends.

"Didn't those merchants all buy blueprints? I didn't see them before, but I'm afraid I'm used to seeing them in the future." She laughed at Bao Qin, "When those ships compete with you for business in the future, don't cry."

Xue Baoqin said proudly: "No way! I have met Her Majesty the Queen and exchanged countless gold and silver treasures, can they do it?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "They can't do it, the language is very strange, thanks to you learning it quickly."

Bao Qin smiled and sighed: "If you learn it in three months, you can earn back the wealth that you may not be able to earn back in 30 years. Why don't I learn?"

The two laughed and chatted a few words in foreign language, Baoqin saw everyone staring at her, stretched her hand towards Daiyu's veiled hat, and said angrily: "What are you doing with your hat on, quickly take it off with me! "

Daiyu dodged with a smile: "No way! The sun is so bright, I don't want to get tanned!"

Baoqin let out a dissatisfied hey, asked the maid to hand over a veiled hat, put on the front of the black gauze, exposed her face, pretended to be stern, and asked: "Will this make you tan? No, and you can still see more comfortable!"

Daiyu was persuaded, and lifted the black gauze from the front to the hat.She was wearing a Han costume, with a lightly tied belt, her figure was graceful, and she was very charming.

After a while, the boat stopped and they all got off the boat.

Both Lin Ruhai and Xue Biao got the news, and sent guards and servants to wait here, and together with the yellow and white people on the ship, they transported the boxes of gold and silver treasures on the treasure ship to the Lin family and the Xue family for joint management. in the private library.

Half of the port is moving goods, and half of the port is full of people, all watching and amazed.

"Every time I go to Nanyang, the ship is full of cargo, but this trip is especially large..."

"The Shi family, the Song family, and the Hu family heard that they have already bought blueprints for the treasure ship. Let's build it now. In a few years, this port may not be enough."

"Have you heard? Of the two girls who left just now, one of them married a prince of Fanyi."

"It looks good, but it's a pity..."

"It's a pity, what a pity? Is it impossible to marry you?"

"Amitabha—" A monk with a benign eyebrow bowed his head and asked people outside the crowd, "Dare to ask the benefactor, do you know who is the girl who married the prince?"

The man smiled and said: "It has been spread all over the place, it's Miss Xue, and she even wrote a memorial to ask for credit, and won the position of a princess." After finishing speaking, he took a closer look and said in surprise, "It's Master Hongkong! How do you ask this?" Master Hong Kong laughed and said, "Just ask casually."

After all, walking steadily, Shi Shi went away, making the passers-by who had a heart of gossip for a while quite ashamed, and also chanted a few times in their hearts.

……

Daiyu rested in the Lin Mansion in Guangzhou.After the lunch break, a disciple reported in a low voice: "There is a monk who claims to be called Hong Kong and asks to see him."

Daiyu was surprised, Gai had heard of Master Hongkong's reputation for being good at Buddhism before, so he didn't want to be negligent, so he hurriedly asked to come in, and asked the maid to serve refreshments in the bright pavilion.

After a while, Hong Kong lowered his head, covered his face with his sleeves, and followed the maid to the pavilion cautiously.Daiyu felt strange, but also felt that the figure in front of her was a little familiar, she couldn't help beating her heart like a drum, and she didn't dare to speak.

"You're taking the liberty..." Hongkong was also nervous, and after holding back three words, he didn't say anything.

But Daiyu knew who it was just by hearing the sound!She said angrily, "You've been crossing your arm, aren't you tired!" Hong Kong hesitated for a while, but she turned to the maid and said, "Go! Help him hold his arm, and let him cover it until I leave!"

In a hurry, Hong Kong quickly retracted his hand, revealing his face that was too beautiful to be an honest monk.He glanced at Daiyu, and then, like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws, she lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look any further.

Daiyu laughed and said, "You look pretty good with your head shaved."

Hong Kong blushed to the back of his ears, and suddenly said firmly: "No, I want to return to vulgarity! And then ask for marriage..." His voice dropped, with a slight tingling that trembled in his heart, "...Miss Lin."

——It turns out that Hongkong is Jia Baoyu.

After Jia Baoyu escaped from the capital with the power of Liu Xianglian, he hid in a famous temple and became a disciple of the lay school in frustration for several years. The enemy family (such as Zhongshun Wangfu) harassed him from time to time, shaved his head and officially became a monk, became a walking monk, and went to Purdue Dharma.

But for some reason, when he heard that the imperial court intended to support the maritime merchants in the sea and border areas, when he was training the navy, he went to Guangdong by a strange mistake.

He speaks softly, with compassion in his eyes, especially for women, and many people are willing to listen to his presentation of the Dharma, and unexpectedly he also educates the common people.

He originally thought that his life would just pass by like this, full and lonely.

He happened to pass by the port with nothing to do, and just overheard the chatter of passers-by, so he moved Fanxin and asked one more question.Then there is a nonsense in a doggerel that neither rhymes nor contradicts:

Occasionally because of an inquiry, the red luan star will be moved.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu almost wanted to agree on the spot.But in the next moment, she remembered Jia Baoyu's chaotic past.She hesitated.

Jia Baoyu said firmly: "Until my hair grows long, the girls don't have to make a decision, just look at the little monk... just look at my performance!"

Seeing the slightly tanned skin on his face, Miss Lin hesitated again.She looked around and saw that the people close to her were all caring attendants, so she simply opened her mouth and said, "It will cost a lot to ask to marry me."

Jia Baoyu asked, "I will try my best!" His first reaction was that of red makeup, and his mind had already started to think about how much money he had and how much money he had.

Lin Daiyu said: "You are not allowed to take concubines."

Jia Baoyu was taken aback for a moment, and then insisted: "I don't take concubines."

"No connecting room."

"Don't play with girls."

"You can't have a fire-breathing boy either."

"Just let the boy do the errands that the boy should do."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "It's gone."

Jia Baoyu was taken aback for another moment, and then couldn't help saying: "Is there any other request?"

"What other requirements do you need?" Lin Daiyu asked strangely, "I don't lack anything. As long as you are me, why do you need anything else?"

Jia Baoyu's face was flushed, and he felt dizzy. He didn't drink, but he was about to be drunk in Miss Lin's eyes staring at him affectionately.

……

Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu held a cup of tea, having a good time.People often see Bao Dai and his wife going out to play in famous mountains and historical sites. They are like a couple of gods and gods.

Occasionally some people commented that Lin Daiyu was jealous, and Jia Baoyu was not allowed to take concubines even if she had no children, but they never got approval.

Once, someone chewed his tongue in front of Jia Baoyu, and he immediately became stunned, annoyed: "What are you talking about, what kind of concubine do I want? It must be because I can't see my sister Lin and I are getting along, so make trouble for me! Come on!" People, beat this villain out for me!"

After that, no one dared to say it. After that, the treasure ship was mass-produced, and Dazhou and Europa communicated more and more, so no one would say that.

This is Lin Daiyu's small world, and she has lived happily ever after.
