The Jia Mansion.
Just like in his previous life.
"When I was young, I heard Bao Chai mention you."
She sat on the gilded chair, beautiful and pure.
The girl, who was like a red plum in the snow, rested her chin on her hand and sized her up.
She smiled curiously and said, "How old was sister Lin at that time? You remember this small matter in your heart. You can't blame sister. After so many years,
She's still thinking about you. Every time I talk to my brothers and sisters in private, I can't help but sigh that we were born stupid.
We're not as smart and nimble as Pin'er. "
"It's hard on Bao Chai, who has a seven orifices heart."
She's crystal clear.
She can still ignore the ban and call me a 'literary thief' who talks dirty. "Lin Daiyu said lightly.
The girl choked and quickly smiled. "Sister Lin, you've said too much. That's all about the imperial court.
How can we talk about this in private? We're all relatives. "
Just as she finished speaking,
Lin Daiyu said coldly, "I'm the only one alive in the Gusu Lin family. Where did the relatives come from? If Miss Xue is here to visit relatives today,
Then..,
You'll go to the wrong door. If you're here to report me, go straight to the residence of the envoy from the east. "
After saying that..,
She was about to get up and send the guest off.
Xue Baoqin hurriedly pulled her back.
"On the battlefield, everyone has their own master.
"Sister Lin, each of our families has casualties, and it's inevitable that it will damage our relationship. "This is because the imperial court and the rebels are fighting for the position of Emperor, and our subordinates can't do anything about it. "But no matter who is the Emperor, our families are all in the same breath and branch. In private, we are always connected. "Back then, because of you and Second Master Lin, the old lady cried until she was inhumane. Even in her dreams, she shouted," Why bother? " "She's already so old, and she prays day and night. When she heard that I was coming to Tai Xi, she was lying on her sickbed and even begged me to look for you so that she could know about your safety. "
"Sickbed!" Lin Daiyu stopped in her tracks. "Grandmother … What's wrong?"
"The old man is in trouble. He'll … only be alive for the next few years." Xue Baoqin bit her lip and said in a low voice, "She said that she wanted to sever all ties with me, but in fact, every time she fell ill and fainted, she would hold my hand and cry 'Yu' er 'because I look a little like you."
Every word she said was true. It was all her grandmother's emotions. Outsiders would never be able to say such things.
Lin Daiyu fell onto the chair in a daze.
As soon as Xue Baoqin sees her expression, she thinks that Second Brother Bao of the Jia family was right. Lin Jiejie has always been soft-hearted and affectionate. Humans were ever-changing, so how could that little bit of truth change?
He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and say a few words to move her heart.
Unexpectedly, she sat in her chair, lost in thought, staring to the east without saying another word.
Seeing her expression, Xue Baoqin didn't dare to disturb her and only sat beside her.
The clock in the room had only ticked a few times when the woman in front of him had already recovered her composure. She lowered her eyes and coldly said, "There's no need to mention the old words of relatives. Please tell me your true intentions. "
For a moment, Xue Baoqin saw her expression and couldn't help but have a thought: Second Brother Bao of the Jia family has indeed been separated from Lin Jiejie for too many years.
The person sitting in front of her was not the delicate, affectionate, and sensitive "Pin 'er" that she had heard of from second brother Bao. Instead, it was closer to the Xiao Xiang gentleman that she had heard of in the past.
Realizing this, the young girl put away her little tricks and said frankly, "Lin Jiejie, don't worry. Although our fleet came with the prince of the diplomatic group, my appearance here is only under my own name. I asked for it through other channels."
Finished speaking, she spread out her hand and revealed the token in her palm.
Lin Daiyu saw it and was quite surprised. "You?"
Xue Baoqin smiled slyly. "Me."
Lin Daiyu smiled for the first time since she entered the door. "You remind me of an old friend from the Shang family."
Xue Baoqin put away the token and smiled. "Is Jiejie relieved? No matter if it's because of kinship, or … some other things, I won't harm Jiejie. I really admire Lin Jiejie, so I came to visit. "
Because one thing had been taken care of, Lin Daiyu started to chat with her.
Xue Baoqin had traveled the world with her parents since she was young. She had seen a lot and was quite talented. It could be said that she had both good looks and good looks. For a moment, the two of them got along quite well.
She told Lin Daiyu about the situation in the Central Plains.
Lin Daiyu didn't want to talk about relatives. But in the four great families, the many girls who had lived with her in the Grand View Garden, what crime did they commit? Only then did she know that her sisters in the past had all scattered.
Xiangyun became a monk and got married in the third spring. Bao Chai entered the palace. Yuan Chun ascended the phoenix throne.
Baoyu plunged into the nunnery at home. He let his family marry women, but he only buried his head in chanting scriptures. He was like a monk who kept his hair and followed Buddha wholeheartedly.
"It's a pity. Everyone says that second brother Bao is really like a stone now. No matter what the world says, he doesn't listen, see, or speak. It's as if he has given up. Only when he heard Lin Jiejie's name did he have some vitality. Now that Old Madam is sick, he attends to her bedside. When he hears Old Madam call you Jiejie, he will cry with her. "
Xue Baoqin sighed. "Jiejie, don't say that I used kinship to bully you. I really can't bear it. No matter what, Jiejie, if you can return to the Central Plains one day … I'm afraid the two of them will be the only ones who truly miss you. "
Lin Daiyu didn't say anything.
When Xue Baoqin lifted her hat to bid farewell and sent her out, she suddenly bowed deeply.
Xue Baoqin hurriedly helped her up. "Jiejie Lin, you're too kind! What are you doing? "
Lin Jiejie said, "I don't have much affinity with relatives. There are very few people in the world who treat me with sincerity. "
Xue Baoqin felt the slender arm holding her tremble slightly. Lin Daiyu said, "It's just that … fate makes fools of people. The past is the past. Now, I just want you to say something. "
"Tell him and her, 'Yu' er has recovered. '"
Xue Baoqin asked, "Is that all?"
"Just that."
Xue Baoqin walked until she was far away from the door. When she turned back, she saw Lin Daiyu leaning against the door to send her off. She then realized that the bow wasn't for her, but for Old Madam and second brother Bao.
She rolled the words' Yu 'er has recovered' on the tip of her tongue a few times, but she was stunned. She remembered Xichun, who was about the same age as her, but was cold-hearted and always carried her prayer beads. Xichun had heard Baoyu say goodbye to Daiyu when they were young. She had also mentioned it to her with a sigh.
It was only then that Xue Baoqin understood the true meaning of those words. As the person who had followed the story, she couldn't help but sigh again.
Back then, he had told her that Baoyu was dead.
Many years later, she had told them that Yu 'er had recovered.
Their old dreams had flown away, and they each had to find their own way.
Xue Baoqin's figure gradually faded into the dust of the West.
