Volume 1: Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 8 Baoyu's Enlightenment Dawns

Let's say that Baoyu and Daiyu had dinner together in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and they were tired of it for a while, and when they saw that the sky was dark, they reluctantly returned to Yihong Courtyard. Back in Yihong Courtyard, Bao Yujing went to the study, sat in front of the bookcase and recalled the experience of the past few days, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and couldn't help but be crazy for a while.

Although it is just a few days, it has experienced great joys and sorrows, like the excitement of riding a roller coaster. Especially thinking that Daiyu was critically injured by the gossip in the house and almost killed her, if it wasn't for the chance to meet Father Tom, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking about what would he do if Daiyu went? Baoyu's heart hurt like a tear.

In Baoyu's heart, fame and fortune never care, the economic career is just like dung, he is born with infatuation like Daiyu, and even a person of love. All he cares about most is a sister Lin. However, this heart-wrenching turmoil touched Baoyu's heart a lot, she usually kept saying how much she loved Sister Lin, but this time she actually hurt her sister so much;

almost lost her forever, and he couldn't protect her well; Now although the old lady is in charge, this is still a lot of effort to come, if the old lady goes one day, with Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Sister Lin, even if she and Sister Lin are together as she wishes, then don't think you can have a good life.

It's better to ask for others than for yourself, it seems that you should do something, just like you are talking nonsense: "You have to be born early in the world, you must not abandon jade in this life, Baoyu can only protect your body in your body, and real jade can only be safe in your life." ”

Originally, Baoyu's ideal was just to ignore the messy things in the world, to be a rich idler who could get by and get by, and there was nothing else to ask for in this life if he could stay with Sister Lin for a long time.

However, this rotten and filthy world could not even let him fulfill his poor wish! Thinking of the funeral flower words written by Sister Lin: "For three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, frost and sword are strictly pressing!", this filthy world just can't tolerate him and Sister Lin!

The more Baoyu thought about it, she couldn't help but feel bored for a while, and wanted to find an idle book to relieve her boredom. Picking up a copy on the shelf, Baoyu saw that it was a book given to him by Father Tom to introduce the customs of English society. As the saying goes, opening the book must be beneficial, this time I opened and read a page, I couldn't stop it anymore, and I saw the three watches until Qingwen, who was in charge of the night in the evening, came to urge, and then I told Musk Yue to fetch water and wash.

Lying in bed, Baoyu couldn't sleep, and the words "democracy, freedom, equality, and fraternity" always lingered in her mind and lingered.

Democracy: constitutional monarchy, legislation to limit imperial power, cabinet governance, parliamentary deliberations, election of officials by the people, abolition of imperial examinations, establishment of new schools...;

Freedom and equality: all people are born and always are free, equal in terms of rights, personal freedom, freedom of marriage and love... It is better to die than to be free; All men are created equal, regardless of race, male or female, rich or poor, occupation...;

Fraternity: Do not do to others what you would not have to do to yourself; He who would have given to others what he would have done is always giving....

Is there really such a place in the world? Baoyu feels incredible! These novel ideas and concepts are not difficult for Baoyu to accept, who originally had the idea of equality of all beings, equality between men and women, and the pursuit of freedom in life, especially freedom of marriage and love.

It's just that he was overwhelmed by the strict rules of Rongguo Mansion, oppressed by the feudal system of etiquette and religion, and the decadent and swelling secular forces, and he was always depressed that he couldn't find a way out, so he had to use those deviant and slanderous practices to vent his own frustration, and use jade to express his dissatisfaction; Because they see no hope in the face of the corrupt and powerful worldly forces, they even get by for a time.

"Democracy, freedom, equality, fraternity" is just eight words, but the meaning is like a lighthouse in the dark sea for Baoyu, a ray of light before dawn! Its sound is like a morning bell and a dusk drum, deafening! In particular, these heroic sons and daughters who have the courage to fight for "democracy, freedom, and equality" are even more admirable! Baoyu's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

It turns out that a happy and free life can only be obtained by one's own struggle, and it can also be achieved through hard work! And in order to win all this, you must have indomitable courage, incomparable wisdom, and invincible strength! "It's time to plan and plan! Don't seek to govern the country and level the world, but it's not bad to seek self-cultivation and Qi family! The corners of Baoyu's mouth couldn't help but smile, and her heart was as transparent as she had ever been......

The flowers bloomed two and one each table, and said that after Baoyu left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, "he-there was something different." Daiyu leaned on the couch and muttered in a low voice, "This is the first time, I can't even see through his heart-."

As long as there is no need to avoid it, Zijuan has always been inseparable from her, so she naturally heard these words clearly, and said with relief: "Where does the second master's mind need the girl to guess, he likes the girl and hangs on his face all the time." But the way the wife looked at the girl before leaving, it really made people feel strange. ”

Daiyu suddenly smiled, like a hibiscus blooming like a cloud: "It's hard for him, but now he has such a quick wit!" I thought it would take a few more years for him to understand, but I didn't expect it to come to my senses, and now I can completely let go of my heart. ”

Xue Yan sighed: "I haven't seen the girl's smile today, I haven't seen it for ten years, since the wife died, even when the old man was there, the girl has never smiled like this?" On the side, Mama Wang also nodded and wiped away her tears, choked up and couldn't speak.

Baoyu listened to Jia's mother and told that the second duke of the Jia family Rongning passed on the peerless martial arts and a book of the art of war from a strange person, with this Wen Taowu slightly crowned the world, a hundred years ago followed the ancestors of the Shui family to lay down this splendid country, with the merit of the second prince of Rongning, nearly one-third of the world's rivers and mountains are obtained by the second duke, so the glory of the Jia family is unmatched. Later, the second duke of Rongning fused the martial arts cheats he obtained with his own bloodline to transform it, making it more powerful, and thus became the family martial arts of the Jia family.

The Jia family's family martial arts are not only evil, but also extremely weird. Ordinary people pass on men but not women, but the Jia family, regardless of men and women, can study as long as their physique is suitable, and only those who study martial arts can take charge of the family army. That's it, although there are many descendants of the Jia family, there are not many who can pass on martial arts. Even if you practice, you will have some big and small problems, and whether you can really practice is also a dilemma.
