118. Sober Baoyu
When Jia Min chose a husband for Tanchun, she took into account her character, she would not be like Yingchun's husband, she was content with the status quo and indisputable, Tanchun was more enterprising, her husband should also be self-motivated, and wanted to achieve a career, marrying such a man, she would be a very competent helper; But if her husband's personality is like that of Yingchun's husband, one wants to lie down and be an idle cloud and wild crane, and the other always urges him to work hard and forge ahead, it will be a disaster for both of them.
The young man Jia Min found for Tanchun is an ambitious person, the two families are comparable, his father is the second son of the prince's mansion, he was originally prominent, and now he is going downhill, and he can be regarded as a door-to-door match, the situation of the young man's family is slightly more complicated, but with the ability to explore the spring, he can completely cope with it, and the young man himself is quite competitive, but sixteen years old, has been admitted to Xiucai, Jia Min Tuo Yao has inspected, said that he is quite talented, no accident, can be admitted to the Jinshi before the age of thirty, it can be said that all aspects are very compatible with Tanchun, Moreover, Yunqing also said that the two of them were compatible, so Jia Min made a matchmaking and quickly settled this family business.
Yingchun got married last year, Tanchun got engaged again this year, and the sisters will leave home sooner or later and become members of other people's families, Jia Baoyu gradually has a clear understanding of this matter.
He studied in the Lin family, was with his brothers all day long, and the time spent with Lin Daiyu was greatly reduced, and it was reasonable to say that even if there were some hazy little sprouts between the two, they should have withered, but I don't know if it was really the fate of the previous life, obviously the two of them did not have the conditions in the original book, they were very ordinary cousins, but Jia Baoyu was still moved by Lin Daiyu.
Although Lin Ruhai is not often at home, he can usually come back once every two months and stay for two or three days, but in just a few days, he has already seen Jia Baoyu's thoughts clearly.
It's just that Jia Baoyu doesn't meet Lin Ruhai's standards, and he doesn't have any performance of transgression, if he is tough and blocked, it will be self-defeating, Lin Ruhai has been in officialdom for more than 20 years, and there are many means to let Mr. Yao keep an eye on his studies, teach him all kinds of interpersonal relationships, take up his time, and let him have no time to think about it;
On the one hand, he openly and secretly mentioned the requirements for his son-in-law, to have a good temper and tolerate Daiyu's petty temperament, and not to let Daiyu be wronged; Only when you learn the Four Books and Five Classics, poems, and songs are proficient, can you have a common language with Daiyu; must be sensible and motivated, and be able to make contributions, so as to bring a stable life to Daiyu in the future; You must clean yourself wholeheartedly, so that Daiyu will not be sad and troubled......
There are dozens of them, all of which are a little far from Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu is a solid person, but he is not a fool, he didn't understand what Lin Ruhai meant at first, so he worked hard towards the goal set by Lin Ruhai, but the more he tried, the more Lin Ruhai asked for it, and he gradually came back to his senses, knowing that Uncle Lin was dissatisfied with him, and deliberately made so many requests, just to let him retreat.
But this Jia Baoyu still has a bit of tenacity, and he also has the stubbornness and refusal of a young man, the more critical Lin Ruhai is about him, the more he feels that Daiyu is out of reach, and the more feelings he invests.
Feelings, the more you want to stop it, the more you can't stop it, like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Romeo and Juliet, if it weren't for the many setbacks and resistance, the feelings may not be so unforgettable.
Lin Ruhai wanted Jia Baoyu to retreat, but he had to say that the idea was very good, but it turned out to be contrary to his goal, he didn't know Jia Baoyu well enough, and he also looked down on the young man's affection and enthusiasm.
This can't be regarded as Lin Ruhai's mistake, it's just that people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can control the thoughts of others.
Jia Baoyu has been taught under Mr. Yao for several years, and has learned a lot of things, don't look at Lin Ruhai's so many requirements, Jia Baoyu seems to be unable to meet all the requirements, but it is not far behind, although due to nature, his knowledge is not outstanding, but it is also in the excellent category, and he can get it anywhere;
His temperament is not as stable as the one Lin Ruhai is satisfied with, but he accepts Lin Daiyu's small temperament completely, and the two of them have a conflict, and he has always coaxed Daiyu with his small face, especially the important point is that Daiyu in his eyes is good everywhere, and he never thinks she has any shortcomings;
Not to mention that the two people are really like-minded and highly compatible in thought, these are Jia Baoyu's advantages.
Jia Baoyu's shortcomings are that he is too naïve, ignorant of the world, unable to take responsibility, unable to withstand wind and rain, and has no ability to cope with adversity.
However, Mr. Yao had already discovered this, and he was very attentive to his teaching in this regard, first breaking his psychological comfort zone, and waking him up to make him realize his situation, his life was not as stable as he thought, he can be carefree now, but someone is holding up for him, but when those who stand in front of him are gone, what should he do?
Mr. Yao told Jia Baoyu very clearly that if he can't stand up on his own, he can only cling to others for the rest of his life, then don't think about autonomy, only if he is strong, can he control his own destiny.
Human nature tends to benefit and avoid disadvantages, the reality of Mr. Yao's name is very cruel, Jia Baoyu instinctively doesn't want to face it, but Mr. Yao didn't give him a chance to escape, he can only choose to face it if he can't be an ostrich, and Jia Baoyu is not a rotten wood in the end, after facing the reality, he has grown up rapidly, although his ability in all aspects is not enough, but his mentality is already very strong.
He is learning to grow up and learn to take on his own responsibilities, and the process is not wonderful, and he has carried it through in the end.
Jia Baoyu's growth and transformation all fell in the eyes of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and it was impossible for the two of them not to be touched, but there was the best candidate selected by Lin Ruhai, and neither of them was willing to settle for the second.
Moreover, Jia Min has a lot of complaints about Mrs. Wang, feeling that she is not kind enough, looking at the days of her eldest daughter-in-law Li Kun, she doesn't want her daughter to marry into the Jia family, and she also realizes that Mrs. Wang also has some hostility and dislike towards Lin Daiyu, even though it is not obvious, but it really exists.
It can also be seen from Mrs. Wang's words that she has quite high requirements for her daughter-in-law, and neither the Lin family nor Lin Daiyu meets the standards of others, that is to say, the Lin family does not look down on Jia Baoyu, and the Jia family does not look down on Lin Daiyu.
