Red House Shoufu

Chapter 405

After the storm, the air in the capital city in the morning was extremely fresh, and the faint smell of soil made Lin Shu feel refreshed after walking out of the room.

He circled around the peach tree that had been struck to death by thunder and fire, and broke the outermost layer of coke with his hands, and found that the inner layer was still alive.

"Is this a different kind of freshman?"

There were many branches scattered on the ground, Lin Shu picked up two slightly charred black branches, shook off the charred black ash on the outer layer, and handed them to Fuquan.

"What do you want this for?" Fuquan asked in confusion.

Lin Shu clapped his hands, and with an inscrutable look, he replied leisurely: "This is the lightning strike wood, some other day I will ask the celestial master of Longhu Mountain to make it into a peach wood sword, so I won't be afraid of any gods and ghosts anymore! "

"Cousin Lin still believes in this?"

Jia Lian came over with a letter in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "The master sent a letter, saying that the piece of jade can be retrieved..."

Lin Shu took the letter curiously and looked at it. There were only a few words on it, saying that he asked Jia's family to retrieve the piece of jade from the ancestral hall, repair it and let Jia Baoyu wear it again, so as to ensure a safe and smooth life.

repair?

Lin Shu looked up at Jia Lian, both of them seemed to have the same doubts.At this time, Jia Jing, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and even the old lady had already come. Lin Shu followed Jia Jing to the gate of the ancestral hall after saluting the elders.

After the door of the ancestral hall was opened, it seemed that nothing had changed inside.As the old patriarch, Jia Jing cleans his hands and burns incense, then respectfully picks up the jade from the altar.

There was a crack in the middle of the jade stone, and everyone including the old lady stared wide-eyed in surprise.

I can't believe it, Jia Baoyu's rare jade has been dropped countless times, and its strength is comparable to steel.Now it was only placed in the ancestral hall for one night, and it split open by itself.

Master Liao Ran is indeed a master of Taoism, a great Buddhist master!

"Old ancestor, old ancestor..."

Panting, Jia Cong ran in, and excitedly announced the good news to everyone: "Old Ancestor, Dad...Second Brother Bao woke up!"

As the sun was rising, when the first rays of sunlight fell on the eaves of Jia's ancestral hall, Jia Baoyu opened his eyes.

He struggled to sit up from the bed, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said in a daze, "I'm so hungry, I want to eat red robe prawns and jujube yam cake..."

……

Jia Baoyu's waking up this time seems to be the same as before, but there seems to be something different.

For example, when he saw his father Jia Zheng, there was less fear in his eyes and more intimacy.

After the imperial doctor re-diagnosed the pulse, he just said that Jia Baoyu was fine and he just needed to nourish his wasted mind. After prescribing the medicine, Jia Lian personally sent him out of the house.

The prescription for Jia Baoyu's refreshment, Master Qingran, had been prescribed a long time ago, and after Jia Baoyu had finished eating, everyone was about to disperse.At this time, Jia Baoyu said, "Cousin Lin, can you stay for a while and talk to me."

This is a novelty, Lin Shu nodded after a moment of doubt.

Not to mention Lin Shu's doubts, everyone in the room looked at Jia Baoyu in surprise.If it was before, shouldn't he be clamoring for his sisters to play with him?

Jia Baoyu smiled shyly: "I seem to have had a very long dream. The scene in the dream is related to Cousin Lin. I want to talk to Cousin Lin..."

The people in the room dispersed, leaving only Lin Shu and Jia Baoyu.

Lin Shu handed Jia Baoyu a cup of hot ginger tea, and asked with a smile: "Brother Bao specially left me here, what do you want to say? There are no outsiders at this time, so feel free to speak up if you have something to say."

"I want to propose to the Xue family, to marry Sister Bao!"

Jia Baoyu first released an extremely shocking news, and then continued with a shy smile: "Actually, I know that I am not good enough for Sister Bao, but I am the most suitable candidate for Sister Bao. This illness... even if it is Be sick, I seem to have experienced an unforgettable life and death parting in my dream. True or false, false or true, these are not important, what is important is that I owe Sister Bao..."

Lin Shu felt that Jia Baoyu must be hiding something, so he asked tentatively, "A good match?"

"It seems that Cousin Lin does know!"

Jia Baoyu nodded bitterly: "I don't know if what I experienced in the dream is true or not, but I figured it out after waking up. If it's the debt I owed in my previous life, Sister Lin, Sister Yun, and the others, in this life Everyone has their own happiness, only Sister Bao, even if the Xue family has escaped the crisis, Sister Bao's future will still not be smooth and healthy. A strange woman like Sister Bao should not be confined to the inner house, she should have something to show The ideal space. And I, is the best candidate!"

Xue Baochai is indeed, as Jia Baoyu said, a strange woman!
It's not that the Xue family never thought about finding a good marriage for her. Xue Pan even asked the prince Gao Wancheng, but he had seen her several times, but in the end they couldn't do it due to various reasons.

The vast majority of families cannot accept a person who used to show up every day to check the accounts in the shop and discuss business matters with the shopkeepers of various stores. There were even rumors that she and her cousin Jia Baoyu were unclear... …

The rich family could not accept it, and the Xue family from the poor family was not reconciled.As Jia Baoyu said, after much deliberation, Jia Baoyu was the most suitable one.

At least Xue Baochai will continue to be her strong woman, and Jia Baoyu will not stop her, and even the Jia family will support Xue Baochai to manage the family business that belongs to her and Jia Baoyu.

After all, Jia Baoyu's future is almost doomed to be a wealthy idler, and he doesn't know the way of business, so marrying Xue Baochai who is good at business is the best choice.

Lin Shu thought of the woman he once had a throbbing heart, and after a brief trance, his eyes became clear.

He laughed, patted Jia Baoyu on the shoulder and said: "Brother Bao, this is really a three-day treaty, I think what you said is very reasonable."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Jia Baoyu's face. He blushed and said, "I would like to ask Cousin Lin to tell my father. He has always thought that Cousin Lin is mature and stable, and considers things more thoughtfully..."

"What's so difficult about it? I agree with this matter."

There is no embarrassment in this matter, in fact, as long as Yuan Chun in the palace wants to understand the benefits of Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai's marriage, whether it is Jia Zheng or the old lady, they will agree.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu said to Jia Baoyu: "In my opinion, Brother Bao might as well send a letter to the empress in the palace. From the empress's perspective, it would be more appropriate to ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage. Of course, all these must be collected again. Only with Miss Xue's consent."

Jia Baoyu also understood what Lin Shu meant, and he nodded, as if he had made up his mind.

The two talked a few more off-topic words, and it was not until Xiren brought the boiled soup that Lin Shu prepared to take his leave and leave.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Jia Baoyu shout: "Brother Lin, if there is no cousin, I am afraid that it will be like the dream shown in the dream. It is like eating all the birds and throwing them into the forest, ending up in a vast expanse of whiteness." The ground is so clean..."

Lin Shu paused for a moment, then turned his head and smiled: "Dreams are nothing more than illusions. Just grasp the present moment. Isn't Brother Bao's performance today very different from the dream?"

Jia Baoyu said with a relieved smile, "We should grasp the moment, thank you, Cousin Lin, for clarifying the confusion."

"Have a good rest, I'm waiting to drink Brother Bao's wedding wine!"

Lin Shu waved his hand, teased Jia Baoyu, laughed, and left the room.

Confused, Xiren brought the medicine bowl to the bedside, and asked suspiciously, "What dream did the second master and Lin Houye talk about? What is the wedding wine that Lin Houye talked about?"

Jia Baoyu didn't answer directly, but held Xiren's hand and said, "If Sister Bao is allowed to be Bao's second grandmother, what do you think?"

Xiren's hand holding the bowl couldn't help but tremble, and his expression froze instantly.

However, she also quickly adjusted her mentality. After all, as the second master of Bao, there will always be a day when the first wife will start. Compared with Wang Xiluan or others, it is better to be the familiar Bao girl.

Xiren smiled and said: "That's naturally good. Miss Bao is dignified and elegant, and she looks like a beautiful woman. She is perfect to be the second grandmother of Bao. The medicine is getting cold. Come, Second Lord, drink the medicine!"

……

Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion became seriously ill and fell into a coma, causing quite a disturbance in the capital.

Especially the governor's mansion and the Zhen's family were almost terrified by Jia Amnesty's actions.

On the second day after Jia Baoyu was in a coma, the soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion blocked all the entrances and exits of the Zhen family and the Tongzhi county magistrate's mansion. The armored soldiers could rush into the two mansions with just one order. When I arrived at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, I sent the memorial of impeachment to the Secretary of General Administration, but no one responded.

Some people even took this matter to the sidelines, betting how long Jia Baoyu can last, and whether Jia Amnesty will really enter the two houses.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the news of Jia Baoyu's awakening and gradual recovery to spread. The head of the Zhen family in Beijing almost collapsed.

Of course, the Han family will not lag behind the Zhen family. On the afternoon when Jia Baoyu woke up, he brought a whole carriage of apologies and various precious medicinal materials to the Rongguo Mansion.

She came here on the pretext of visiting her nephew who was seriously ill. Although the old lady didn't give her any good looks, she didn't embarrass her too much.

The Zhen family was different, after Jia Amnesty received the apology from the Zhen family, he kicked them out directly.In Jia Amnesty's original words, the Jia family and Jia Baoyu deserved the compensation for these cars.He accepted the gift, but as for forgiving the Zhen family, it is absolutely impossible!

The Lin family's carriage returned slowly to Huanghuafang. The brother and sister didn't sleep much last night.

Lin Shu accompanied Jia She and others to watch outside the ancestral hall all night, while Daiyu waited anxiously with Sanchun and others until dawn.

After sleeping all afternoon, Daiyu came to the front hall for dinner in the evening, and only then did she learn about what happened in the Jia family's ancestral hall from Lin Shu.

"Master Liao Ran is really amazing!"

She marveled and asked, "Brother, are there really ghosts and gods in this world?"

Lin Shu nodded and then shook his head again: "You don't talk about strange powers and gods. It doesn't really matter whether you have it or not. If righteous thoughts are weak, evil thoughts will dominate. As for ghosts and gods, just keep them at a distance."

Now that Master Qingming has already said that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, why should he worry about these things anymore?
Thinking of this, Lin Shu changed the subject: "Brother Bao asked me something, he plans to ask the Xue family to marry Miss Xue!"

"Ah! Sister Bao?"

This incident surprised Daiyu more than any ghosts and gods. She naturally knew that the previous marriage gift was considered invalid, but she never thought that Baoyu would intentionally ask Xue Baochai to marry him.

In Daiyu's heart, Jia Baoyu may have had feelings for Xue Baochai, but her grandmother has always looked down on Xue Baochai, who was born in a merchant.

Lin Shu nodded and said, "Brother Bao seems to have made up his mind and wants me to talk to Second Uncle."

Daiyu frowned and thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not the second uncle who is difficult to handle, but the grandmother... Of course, there is also Sister Bao. Sister Bao is actually very angry, and she may not agree to this marriage."

"Miss Xue will agree!"

Lin Shu seemed very sure, Daiyu looked up at him with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth, and finally asked the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time: "Sister Bao married someone else, wouldn't my brother be unwilling?"

Boom!
Lin Shu tapped Daiyu's forehead with his finger, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? Your brother and I have made up our minds to spend the rest of our lives with your sister Yuan alone."

Daiyu rubbed her forehead, pouted angrily and said, "I'll just treat my brother as telling the truth..."

"Of course it's the truth. There are thousands of women in this world, but you and my sister Yuan are the only one who can share my heart with me."

Lin Shu touched the sachet hanging on his waist, and the embroidered "fat duck" mandarin duck on it made him smile slightly.Is Xue Baochai pretty?She is very beautiful, even better than Wang Yuan.

But the person who filled his heart was Wang Yuan, who saved his life by knocking down the assassin without thinking of herself.He witnessed with his own eyes that Wang Yuan grew up as a slim girl since she was a child, and the two went from acquaintance, acquaintance to love, and they will stay together for a lifetime in the future.

The blessings of Qi Ren, three wives and four concubines sound good, but he would rather be a couple for the rest of his life!

Daiyu looked at Lin Shu's expression and the sachet he was stroking, and waved her small hand in front of her eyes: "Brother, I'm so sour!"

"You little girl, you are getting smaller and smaller..."

The brother and sister joked for a while, and then talked about Jia Baoyu again.

Lin Shu said to Daiyu: "Compared to others, Brother Bao is indeed a good choice for Miss Xue. Brother Bao has a loose official position and a concubine in the palace. He will be a wealthy and idle person in the future, and no one dares to take it easy. Offend. No matter what Miss Xue does in the future, she will have the support of the Empress and the Rongguo Mansion, who would dare to underestimate her? Yu'er might as well bring it up and see what Miss Xue has to say."

Daiyu hummed, and after Lin Shu's explanation, she also felt that this was a good marriage.

A high family disdains, and a poor family may not be a good match for Xue Baochai.Jia Baoyu is soft-tempered, so he is very suitable for Xue Baochai.

I only heard Lin Shu continue to say: "If Miss Xue is willing, I will go and talk to brother Xue and the second uncle, and then I will ask my mother to persuade the old lady. In this case, when the imperial decree of marriage comes down, this matter will not happen. There is something wrong. Miss Xue has suffered a lot of grievances in the past few years in Beijing, and when the time comes, the marriage will be held more grandly, and it will be considered a slap in the face of those people with pride!"

……

Since Jia Baoyu woke up, his temper seemed to be as soft as before, but there was a slight difference.

In the evening, he felt that he was in good spirits, so he asked himself to come to Rongxi Hall to greet the old lady.Of course, he came here for another purpose, which was to mention his marriage to the old lady first.

It was dinner time at this time, and there were quite a few people accompanying the old lady to eat in Rongxi hall, such as Tanchun, Xichun and Xiangyun were all here, when Jia Baoyu walked in, the old lady was talking about him.
