I was so anxious before I came, but now that I look at Baoyu, I can't speak.
It seemed like he was right in front of him when he went to the docks to see me off, but...... At this time, everyone's state of mind and situation are completely different from that time.
As time passes, so do people.
In the face of such a childish Baoyu, although his face was still childish, but there was a melancholy look between his eyebrows, and his expression was calm and calm, I couldn't say anything for a while.
Zijuan poured a cup of tea and held it, and said softly, "Second grandmother, please use tea." ”
I took the teacup in my hand blankly, was stunned for a while, and asked in a low voice: "How is Miss Lin......? Are you alright?"
Baoyu's smile was a little bitter: "Sister Lin is okay, although she has never gone through such a long journey before, but her spirit is much stronger than when she was in the house, sometimes I think she is difficult to hold on, but she can still smile and comfort me and say that it is okay, she can stand it." Sure enough, Sister Feng, what you said earlier was right, you are always locked up in such a house, and there are too few facts that people can see, hear, and do, and you are depressed and depressed. Sister Lin is in a cheerful mood these days, although the days are not as noble and delicate as in the past, compared with the past, it seems that she has unloaded a heavy burden. ”
"Did the doctor come and see it?"
"The doctor said that it was okay, and it would be better after taking two doses of medicine. It's just that the climate in the northwest is like this, but I'm afraid that there will be more coughs in the future. ”
I nodded, rubbed my fingers over the edge of the teacup, and paused for a moment before asking, "What about you......?" Are you alright?"
"I, of course I'm good, how could it be bad. He said softly, but his eyes looked at the pot of bluegrass on the tall table on the side: "It's just that Sister Feng told me at the time that the crisis was coming, although I didn't know anything about all this, but I didn't expect that everything would come so quickly that people were caught off guard." ”
I didn't say anything, he paused, and then said, "I'm afraid there are only two people in the family who really saw this. One is, of course, Sister Feng, and the other is the old lady. It's a pity that although it can be foreseen, it is not really possible to know when all this will happen. The home is now ...... Now ......"
He repeated the words, unable to go on.
I am at a loss about my future, and Baoyu Daiyu is afraid that I am even more at a loss. Everyone is the same now, there is no root, the past name and family history can only be sealed in the past, I am not the daughter of the eunuch family, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, and he is not the young master of Zhong Ming Dingshi's mansion, like a treasure like jade......
I asked a few more words about Daiyu's condition, Zijuan answered a few words cleverly on the side, and said something about the ups and downs they have experienced all the way, this girl has also lost her childishness, and she looks still wise, but she is much calmer than before.
Everything was obscured by the billowing smoke of the building, and we are all helpless now.
Zijuan said that they were leaving, but Baoyu was unwilling, but the old lady forced them to leave quickly.
"Second Master Bao and Miss Lin talked all day long, and they all argued that they were unfilial and unjust, so they left everyone and came out. But I don't know ...... those people now," Zijuan said halfway through, and didn't continue.
I can understand Baoyu's feelings. He is different from me, I took Sister Qiao out and didn't worry about anything. He grew up there, and the people there were all his relatives. Grandmother, mother, father, sister and brother...... He is the only one in a large family. The old lady did this, either she wanted to protect Baoyu, or she had other plans, and I can't fully understand her thoughts. Jia Mu's shrewdness and vision, I can't compare.
"Sister Feng, it is often said in books that you can't be rich for three generations, is this really the true truth?"
His voice was a little sparse, and he didn't seem to be asking me, but himself.
It's like, he doesn't want an answer.
"Others don't talk about it, they only say that Rong and Ning are two mansions, even if there is no matter of today's concubine, he will be defeated for other reasons in the future. Take a step back, even if there is no external force to break it, the house will almost not be able to support that shelf, and defeat will be a matter of time. The family that prospered by its ancestors, but was unable to succeed and declined, is not only Rongning Mansion. ”
Baoyu wanted to say something more, but suddenly there were two coughs in the house, although the sound was soft, but the courtyard was quiet, but it could be heard clearly. Zijuan hurriedly said, "The girl thinks she's awake." Baoyu also stood up.
I said, "I'll go in and see Sister Lin." Zijuan had already gone into the room, Daiyu thought that she was awake, Zijuan said in the room: "I'll help the girl sit up, Grandma Lian is here." ”
Lian's second grandmother......
The title sounds blunt and absurd, like an old incident from a long, long time ago, and it doesn't feel real.
I said, "No need to get up," and I was already in the house. The utensils in this bedroom are simple and refreshing, the bed is hung with a curtain curtain that has passed the rain, Daiyu is leaning on the head of the bed, her sideburns are slightly scattered, and her face looks haggard, but between her eyebrows she is much more cheerful than before, and her expression is a little lazy when she just woke up, but her bright eyes are more radiant than before.
"Sister Feng, sit down. She said a word, and coughed a few times with a handkerchief to cover her mouth, Zijuan hurriedly stroked his back, and Baoyu had already poured a cup of tea very automatically and consciously handed it over. Daiyu took two sips of tea, it seemed that she had suppressed the cough, her cheeks were red because of the cough, she was delicate and bright, and her eyes were watery and cute.
People who are so close to each other in the same room are ...... But they can't say anything to each other, it may be because they have been separated for a long time, or it may be because everyone can't return to their senses after a sudden change, or it may be that their current identities and circumstances are different. They should know a thing or two about me, if they don't know everything, but it's not something to talk about. Their affairs, since the old lady * came out with them, it seems that the two of them will naturally not be separated in the future, but at this time, there is no need to mention this in a hurry.
What are their plans for the future, how to make a living, and what are the concerns of the capital...... Blood kinship cannot be broken, but the fall of Jiafu is irretrievable.
