Chapter 328 Respect
Jia Huan was quick-minded and understood as soon as he heard Aunt Pei’s words. Is this asking him if Baoyu and Daiyu’s affairs are OK?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Jia Huan laughed, "When I say bad things about my brother behind my back, it will make me feel bad."
What he thought about Jia Baoyu in his heart was one thing, and it was another thing to openly despise Jia Baoyu in front of others. Do you still expect him to unite his "colleagues" if he can't even "unify" his brother?
Jia Huan said nothing, but said everything.
"Oh..." Aunt Pei also understood the human relationship and the worldly style. She raised her heart and looked at Daiyu with a little worried. From the words of the maid Zijuan, you can tell that Yu'er and the second master Bao had a little childhood sweetheart.
Daiyu lowered her head. Jia Huan had a father-brother status in her heart. His denial of Baoyu was very impactful to her. In the sensitive and delicate girl's heart, she had a good impression of Baoyu.
Qingwen couldn't help but smile, pursed her lips and glanced at Jia Huan with her big eyes, pretty and for no reason. She and Zijuan had known that this was the case. However, as a scholar, the third master spoke at his level...tsk tsk.
Xiren lowered her head and ate the dried fruit kernel. She was originally the maid in Bao Erye's house. She naturally knew Bao Erye's temperament very well. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that the third master's words were a bit biased, but the bias was not that powerful.
Jia Huan smiled and said to Daiyu who lowered her head and thought carefully: "However, I can give Lin Meimei some suggestions. First, I don't think I'm in a hurry about the marriage. Lin Meimei can take a look and think more. Second, Lin Meimei has to leave a step for herself when she gets along with others."
Jia Huan's words did not count as out of line. Otherwise, as his guardian, he would have to talk to Daiyu about the concept of love.
However, in this era, love is regarded as a deviant person. He said in front of Daiyu: First, please choose slowly. Anyway, I support you in marrying someone who loves you, the one you love. If you can't find someone you love, just marry someone who loves you.
Second, when you are in love, don’t take advantage of others. Girls should leave some room for themselves. Don’t hand over everything, only then will you realize that love is the sand in your hand. The tighter you hold, the faster you go.
Daiyu's face turned slightly red, she raised her head and looked at Jia Huan with bright eyes. She didn't understand what Jia Huan's second sentence meant?
Jia Huan knew what she wanted to ask when she looked at Daiyu's eyes. She looked around the living room and said, "Xiren, Mo'er, you two go to the kitchen to help me see what to eat tonight." After "clearing up" these two people, the rest in the hall were those who had believed in: Aunt Pei, Zijuan, Qingwen, Ruyi.
Jia Huan then spoke to Daiyu in a serious manner: "My sister Lin lost her youth and was childhood sweethearted with Brother Bao, but as she grew older, she should pay attention to the defense between men and women. If her sister is still investigating Brother Bao, she should leave some room for herself. For these things, my sister will turn around and ask Aunt Pei for advice."
Lin Daiyu's pretty face turned red and she said "um" in a very light voice. The word "examination" was spoken to her heart. The reminder of the defense between men and women made her feel slightly stern. Which daughter's family would not care about her reputation? She was recalling the little things she had with Baoyu in the Jia family, but there was no point in her heart. She then breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Pei pondered slightly. What the Third Master said was very reasonable.
Jia Huan smiled and stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'll go back to the room to read a book." He took Qingwen and Ruyi and the others away. Leave the space and place for Aunt Pei and Daiyu.
The relationship between Daiyu and Baoyu is definitely not wrong to describe it as a childhood sweetheart. The relationship between the two is closer than that of ordinary people.
Chapter 28 of the original book of the Red Mansion, Xue Baochai shook the red musk strings. She wrote: Baoyu looked at the snow-white soft arms and felt envious without realizing it. She thought to herself: "This arm should grow on Lin Meimei, or she has to touch it, but it will grow on him."
This is the time when Bao and Dai Dai were in love in the thirteenth year of the Red Chamber. It can be seen that Dai Yu did not avoid these details in her passionate love. From the perspective of the 21st century, this is no big deal. From the perspective of this time, it is a bit over the line.
Therefore, Jia Huan would remind Daiyu in this way. Be careful. She lost her mother and went to Beijing when she was over six years old. No one would teach her these things. This belongs to the category of family education. No matter how smart Daiyu is, she cannot learn it.
Of course, Daiyu left Beijing to Jiangnan at the end of the 11th year of Yongzhi, and has not returned to Jia's mansion so far. If you want to take advantage of Lin Meimei, don't think about it. Look at it obediently.
First, the emotional cultivation has not been done yet. Second, Daiyu will definitely pay attention after reminding him like this.
After Jia Huan left, the atmosphere in the hall was a little silent. For a moment, no one knew how to talk. One was that Jia Huan's words would have to be carefully considered and thought about them. The other was that what they wanted to talk about was a bit sensitive.
Zijuan sighed softly: "The third master's words are really respectable!"
Zijuan is loyal to Daiyu. Jia Huan's words are considered from Daiyu's perspective and are dedicated to her. She is naturally very grateful and agrees. This is much better than the nonsense that Master Bao Er brought with him, such as paying attention to his health, etc.
Hui Zijuan didn't realize that her position was already a little biased.
Aunt Pei nodded slightly. She agreed with Zijuan's point of view. The master did not read the wrong person before his death. Most people would not say so thoroughly to Yu'er.
Daiyu pursed her lips gently, and a unique delicate and gentle charm flowed out, making her beautiful for no reason.
She actually always wanted to talk to Brother Huan San about her marriage. But she was embarrassed to take the initiative to speak. Besides, the pace of life in Jinling has been changed, and she is still adapting. Things are delayed.
Today, Brother Huan San took the initiative to speak out and told the matter. She is a very smart person and knows the meaning contained in Brother Huan San's words: support her own choice, even if she chooses Baoyu that he doesn't like.
A faint warm feeling floated in her heart. She felt cared for and cared for. As Zijuan said, Huan San Ge is a person worthy of respect.
…
On the afternoon of April 4, Jia Qiang, who was waiting in Jinling for money to be given to the Zhen family, received the 50,000 taels of silver from the Zhen family. The Zhen family and the Jia family cleared the money on the financial books.
Jia Qiang was in a good mood and took Changsui back to Jia's mansion and asked Butler Liu to help him rent a boat. He was about to go to Suzhou.
We are going to set off for Suzhou tomorrow. Jia Qiang has no intention of looking for flowers and willows in Jinling City. In the evening, we have wine in the Jia Mansion and have wine with several accompanying servants. There are Shan Qun, the son of Shan Daliang, the eldest son of the Jia Mansion, Zhao Tianliang, Zhao Tiandong, and an old servant.
After eating a few glasses of wine, Shan Qun was overwhelmed and said dissatisfied: "Second Master Qiang, what rules did the third master set? Only 10% of the hard work? Can the family allow it? How many people point to the garden and finances." He was very upset. He came to Jiangnan and planned to make thousands of taels of silver, but it turned out that he could lose 100 taels.
There are more second masters in the Jia family. Bao Er, Lian Er, Qiang Er. The third master is only one. If you say it, you will know that it refers to Jia Huan.
The Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong brothers laughed. They didn't speak or talk.
Jia Qiang was unhappy and became handsome. He was only nineteen years old this year and was able to go to Jiangnan to purchase because he was close to Jia Rong. The servants below may not be convinced.
Jia Qiang stared at Shan Qun and said coldly: "The rules set by Uncle Huan are dead rules. If you don't believe it, you can try it. But I have the final say in Suzhou. I will leave the bill in real time. Uncle Huan is now in Suzhou. He doesn't know what the market purchase price is? Have you fooled it? If you don't want to go to Suzhou, then stay in Jinling and go back to Beijing by yourself."
Shan Qun gave Jia Qiang a speechless and did not dare to mention the words of greed for money. But he didn't know what he was thinking.
…
April 5th, Qingming Festival. The breeze is not rainy.
Jia Huan, Daiyu and his group arrived in Suzhou and visited Lin Ruhai and his wife on the grave of the Lin family.
The customs of the state are no different from those of the folk hundreds of years later. On Qingming Festival, we will go to the grave to worship.
Lin Ruhai is an official, and the specifications of the grave are stipulated. In front of the grave, Yuan Bo brought his servants to lay the carpet. Aunt Pei and Daiyu burned incense, burned paper, and kowtowed. The atmosphere was solemn and solemn.
Everyone stood silently at the grave of Lin Ruhai and his wife, looking at the crying Daiyu and Aunt Pei. The breeze at noon blew across the pine and cypress trees. Firecrackers were heard one after another in a distance.
At the end, Jia Huan also kowtowed Lin Ruhai and burned incense. The deceased was the great one. Lin Ruhai was also his uncle.
Jia Huan and his group did not inform the members of the Lin family in Suzhou. They were all members of the remote branch. It would be meaningless to notify them.
After worshiping at the grave, the group returned to the inn in Suzhou that had already booked a rest. The journey was tiring. Jia Huan planned to rest for one or two days in Suzhou. He could not take a boat to Suzhou for four or five days, and after worshiping, he hurried to Jinling. There was no need, and there was nothing important in Jinling.
Daiyu was in a bad mood and was in a bad mood since she worshipped her parents. The next afternoon, Jia Huan took Daiyu to Panxiang Temple, a famous temple in Suzhou City to pray for her parents and relax.
Suzhou is the industrial and commercial center in Jiangnan. Susong's cloth pattern and embroidery lead the fashion trend of the entire Zhou Dynasty. It is more prosperous than Jinling, with handicrafts and commercial capacity. The population is about 0,000. The citizen class has been cultivated and formed long ago.
Jia Huan took Daiyu and others out, and he didn't have to dress up as a man. There were female weavers on the street and little ladies who were having fun everywhere.
Panxiang Temple is located on Xuanmeng Mountain by Taihu Lake. It covers an area of about 10 acres. The incense is flourishing. Pilgrims and tourists come and go. When you enter the mountain gate, you will see a large area of plum blossom trees. You can imagine the scenic scenery in winter.
After burning incense in the main hall, Jia Huan, Daiyu, Pei Aunt Pei, Qingwen, Ruyi and Zijuan were visiting the mountain temple. Panxiang Temple is adjacent to Taihu Lake, climbing high and looking into the distance. The lake and mountains are beautiful in the afternoon in late spring. There are poems and works of predecessors among many pavilions. Daiyu's mood has also improved.
As we were enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, everyone was a little thirsty, so we went to a house to ask for saliva.
The temple does not pay taxes, and basically has a large amount of fertile land in its hands. This is also a long-term and short-term worker. The vast houses are also rented to outsiders. Otherwise, how could so many scholars in the novel like to study in the temple?
A wing room in this house townhouse was living in a poor dress. A teenage girl with a bamboo tube with a mountain spring was pretty and tender. She had a leisurely and quiet atmosphere on her body.
