Baochai held the jade in his palm and gazed at it with apricot eyes. He saw that the jade was as big as a bird's egg, crystal clear, with five-color patterns entwining on it. It was very beautiful.

Baochai heard about the strangeness of this piece of jade, and took a closer look. Sure enough, he saw a few tiny words on the front: Psychic Treasure Jade. Below it was a prophecy:

Don't lose it, don't forget it, and your life will be prosperous.

Baochai read it once and turned it over again. There were also three lines of small words on the back:

Get rid of evil spirits

Second treatment for wronged diseases

Three knowledge of misfortunes and blessings

Baochai recited it silently once, and suddenly felt that this thing was extraordinary. When he was about to say something, he saw his maid Ying'er standing beside her, stretching her neck to take a peek, but she stopped talking.

Naturally, Jia Baoyu also took a look at Baochai's golden lock. There were only eight characters on it.

Positive: never leave, never give up

Reverse side: Fang Ling Yongsucceeds.

Jia Baoyu then laughed and said, "Sister's eight characters match my eight characters."

"Hehehe..." Ying'er laughed immediately when she heard this and said: "Second Master Bao doesn't know that these eight characters were originally given to our girl by a monk. He said that they must be chiseled on the gold utensils, and they will be decided in the future.

want……"

After hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Baochai blushed slightly, but when Ying'er said this, she quickly stopped and ordered her to pour another cup of tea. Ying'er just stopped talking and poured the tea with a smile.

Already.

Looking at the blush on Baochai's face, Jia Baoyu could guess that what Ying'er hadn't finished speaking must be about Baochai's life events...

At the beginning of "The Red Mansion", a monk and two gods appear. I wonder if the monk Ying'er talks about is the great master. If so, isn't the so-called "gold and jade marriage" the fault of these gods? Unfortunately, the Xue family

Now he is concentrating on sending Baochai into the palace.

But then again, I am not the only one with jade in this world. His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, I am afraid there are countless kinds of rare jade. The Xue family is trying to rely on Baochai to preserve the wealth of the Xue family and make her a noble emperor.

Concubine is the best choice. As a twelve-year-old boy, I am afraid that I have not yet been in the eyes of the Xue family.

Jia Baoyu felt a little discouraged at this time, but then he felt a sense of pride. He had brought Xiangling into his house only a few days after he came into this world. Could he let this "future" wife run away?

Since coming to ancient times, what I have seen and heard is that it is very common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Take Xue Pan, a little fat man, for example. Before he married, he had several concubines in the house, and one

A man who was flattering and obedient to him... Even if Xue Pan could do this, Jia Baoyu felt that he was no worse than Xue Pan in terms of character, family background or appearance, and that he could not be better than Xue Pan in terms of beauty.

The difference is! Therefore, from the very beginning, Jia Baoyu never thought about guarding one person for the rest of his life. As long as he liked the woman, he would try his best to fight for it.

This is a privilege given to men by the times.

For now, Jia Baoyu does not want Baochai to succeed in the election.

He didn't want to be hypocritical and cover up. In his heart, he wanted to win the affection of this cousin.

Although Baochai did not enter the palace in the original work, Jia Baoyu did not know the reason. Moreover, many plots were different in this life because of his arrival. Jia Baoyu could not guarantee that Baochai would not enter the palace.

Palace, so if there is a chance, he will find a way to prevent Baochai from succeeding in the election...

Although it may be against the principles of a gentleman, he would rather not be a gentleman for the sake of the woman he loves.

Thinking like this, Jia Baoyu happened to see that the book Baochai had just read was called "Tongdian". Jia Baoyu laughed and said: "I don't want Sister Bao to study these books. Could it be that Sister Bao has great ambitions and wants to imitate the ancient heroines?"

Let me be a female prime minister?"

Jia Baoyu has been reading history books recently when he has nothing to do. Although the traditional Chinese books are not as easy to read as the simplified Chinese books of later generations, with his super memory, he gradually feels that he can do it with ease. During these days, he has read a lot of books, which is just right

As you know, this "Tongdian" is a very famous book on political system. Generally, officials only read this book to learn from the predecessors' concepts and methods of governing the people.

Baochai looked a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Bao didn't say this, but I just looked through it and it made brother Bao laugh."

Jia Baoyu shook his head. Baochai looked at him and suddenly said: "Reading history can make you wise. I think the books that Brother Bao has read recently are all history books. I don't know what Brother Bao's ambition is in the future. Is he to inherit the family business and enjoy wealth in peace and prosperity?"

, or join the court as an official, assist the country and govern the people, and establish a career?"

With Jia Baoyu's life experience, it will not be difficult to become an official in the future. What is difficult is whether she wants to be an official and what kind of official she wants to be. Her question was just like Jia Baoyu's previous question about whether she would enter the palace, which was considered "abrupt", but it was

The atmosphere was already here, and Baochai was really curious about what kind of person Jia Baoyu was, so she asked.

Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Sister Bao has heard some rumors about me, so she asked me this?"

Baochai was speechless. Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu's words were so sharp that he seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. Fortunately, Jia Baoyu didn't seem to care much, so he said frankly: "To tell you the truth, Brother Bao, I did hear that before.

There are many rumors about Brother Bao, thinking that Brother Bao is a wealthy and honorable man who doesn't care about his studies.

But after spending time with Brother Bao recently, I realized that the rumors are not credible. Brother Bao is so studious and so skilled that few among the princes and grandsons can match him."

Now that she knew she had misunderstood others, Baochai did not hesitate to say nice things to put aside her past misunderstandings.

Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu laughed again: "Sister Bao said that the rumors are not credible, which is right and wrong. It should be noted that there is no smoke without fire. Since people in the world have such rumors, they must have their origins. Sister Bao and I have only been together for a few days, so she asserted that the rumors are not credible.

Xin... How do you know that I haven't been pretending to be studious in front of my sister these days to win her favor?"

Baochai:"……"

Xue Baochai stared blankly at Jia Baoyu's sincere face, and suddenly laughed and said: "I didn't know that Brother Bao was such an interesting person. Now I think the rumors have some credibility.

Brother Bao has this kind of mouth, and the sisters, sisters, and girls at home don’t all have to be coaxed to be happy by you. In this case, they will definitely pester Brother Bao every day and listen to you. How can you have time to go there?

Concentrate on your studies, ho ho..."

Seeing Baochai, who had always been unfazed by favors, smile so heartily, Jia Baoyu also laughed. It seems that whenever you use snacks and make them different, it will always be easier to make girls happy.

Before girls of this era came out of the imperial court, they originally saw fewer men. Having experienced two lives, I was originally very different from the people of this era.

In the past, I tried my best to abandon the characteristics of my previous life and blend into this era, so as not to be suspected of being "ghost possessed", so I was careful everywhere. Now it seems that maybe showing some differences appropriately can attract the attention of girls.

I'm going back to Jia Mansion soon, Sister Lin... there are so many beautiful and lovely girls...

Jia Mansion, here I come!

…

There were three ships in total for the Jia family and the Xue family to return to Beijing this time. Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were all on the first passenger ship, and the two following ships were occupied by servants from the two families and stocked with goods. Among them, the last

The main thing is the Xue family's things, dozens of big boxes, filling half a boat!

When we arrived at Linqing Pier, Mrs. Wang suffered from dizziness due to the exhaustion of the boat, so she stopped the boat and docked, took a short rest and replenished some water and food.

In the cabin where Jia Baoyu was, Xi Ren was arranging Jia Baoyu's clothes and asked with a smile: "Second Master, just now Uncle Xue asked you to go out for a sightseeing in the city. Why didn't you go?"

Jia Baoyu didn't reply for a while, so she asked again. Jia Baoyu looked back at him and said, "I'm afraid that if I go out with him, I will bring another Xiangling back."

Xiren smiled knowingly, while Xiangling next to him showed a guilty look...

"I've been on the boat for more than ten days. It's not good to stay on the boat all the time. Second Master should go for a walk."

"No, I'm not seasick. I'll go talk to Sister Bao for a while."

After Jia Baoyu finished speaking, he was about to leave. Xiren said quickly: "Wait a minute, you are in such a hurry, the buttons haven't been buttoned yet!" Meiren came in just in time, heard the words and laughed and said: "Second Master, why are you like this?

If you like to talk to Miss Bao, is it because you want to ask for advice?"

The humor is palpable.

Jia Baoyu ignored her and walked out, but he was thinking to himself: His thoughts made even the maid suspicious. I wonder if Baochai could feel it. If he felt his affection for her, he would

What kind of idea?

Jia Baoyu felt that he suddenly felt like he had returned to his previous life as a student, guessing what the girl he liked thought of him, and he felt a kind of youthful joy...

Jia Baoyu's room was close to the stairs at the bow of the ship, and below was the spacious deck. As soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Rui standing on the bow of the ship, talking to a man in green clothes and a small hat outside the ship. The man stepped forward and handed a message to him.

In the hands of Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui said: "Unfortunately, my wife is not feeling well today and it is inconvenient to see guests. Please forgive me for the rudeness, Mr. Yucun."

The man hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, my master specially told me that he was greatly favored by the master of your house, and I happened to meet my wife here today. If I don't go up to see you, wouldn't I be disrespectful of etiquette? And because my wife is

The female relatives did not dare to interrupt without permission, so they burned incense and bathed. I would like to send you a letter of worship to express my solemn respect."

"Master Yucun is interested..."

Jia Baoyu didn't take it to heart at first, but when he heard the word Yucun, he stopped. Could it be Jia Yucun?

Jia Baoyu stood on the deck of the second floor and watched Zhou Rui hand the post of worship to a woman, who then came to the second floor.

The masters live on the second floor, and most of them are female relatives. Zhou Rui and others cannot easily come up.

The old woman came up and saw Jia Baoyu and said hello. Jia Baoyu said, "Did Butler Zhou ask you to send a greeting note to your wife?"

"Exactly..."

"Give it to me and I'll send it to my wife."

I took the gold-plated greeting card from my mother-in-law, and sure enough I saw the words "Jia Yucun, a junior from the same clan, would like to pay my respects" written on it.
