Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 166
But on that day, Baoyu begged Mrs. Wang to take back her life. She felt relieved and her health improved much faster than Mrs. Wang.

But Daiyu heard outside the house that Baoyu was blocking the marriage between Lai Shangrong and Baochai.

After coming back, his mind was filled with Baoyu's pleading, and he felt depressed and couldn't afford to fall ill.

When Baoyu heard that Daiyu was ill, he went to see her every day to ask for help. However, for some reason, Sister Lin treated her coldly, which was completely different from the past.

On this day, he had just heard the good news. Thinking that Sister Lin would be happy if she knew about it, he hurriedly rushed to the Bisha Cupboard to report the good news.

In the Bisha cupboard, Xueyan was holding a bowl of medicinal soup, while Zicuckoo was sitting on the edge of the bed, helping Daiyu to sit up from the bed.

He took the soup bowl, stirred it with the spoon, blew on the medicinal soup, and slowly brought it to Daiyu's mouth.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't open her mouth, she comforted her: "I think the second master may not mean that. Even if the girl is angry, don't keep it in your heart and make yourself angry. Why not ask the second master directly?"

Daiyu grabbed the quilt covering her body and twisted it into a twist.

He sneered: "Whether he has that intention or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Seeing that she finally spoke, Zijuan took the opportunity to put the soup to her mouth in order to get in.

"Why would you say such hurtful words to others and yourself? You and your second master grew up together. Don't you still know what kind of person he is?"

"I just know what kind of person he is, and I don't want to be fooled by those sweet words anymore!"

"What are you talking about? The second master has been watching over the girl whenever he has free time these days. Even if the girl ignores her, he is not impatient at all. Is this a lie?"

Daiyu said sadly: "What does it matter if it's fake or not? He is so sad, can't he just be fake to Sister Bao?"

Baoyu's house was originally strange, why sister Lin ignored him during this time.

Hearing this, I finally understood the crux of the matter, and couldn't help complaining: "We ate and lived together since we were young, and it's fine if others don't understand me! Don't you understand my heart?"

"Second Master, hurry up and explain to the girl, what should I do if this body is so angry?"

As he spoke, he winked at Xueyan and led her back out.

Hearing him beat him up, Daiyu sneered and said: "I understand very well. Today I am thinking about this, and tomorrow I am thinking about that. What does Brother Lai's marriage have to do with you? Last time you were thinking about the people in his house, but this time you have troubled him again. As for your marriage, do you think that anyone who loves you must be taken over by you?"

Baoyu said aggrievedly: "I have never had such thoughts. I just can't bear to see Sister Bao, a person as golden as jade, marry such a rich man!"

"What a man of gold and jade. You have jade and others have gold, but they are not just a pair of gold and jade!"

When Baoyu heard Daiyu mention the good relationship between gold and jade, he felt endlessly wronged.

Pointing to the sky, he swore: "It doesn't matter what others say. If I had such thoughts, I would die right now and burst out my heart. You will see it, and then all my skin and bones will turn into ashes. - - The ashes still have traces, so it is better to turn into a puff of smoke - the smoke can still condense and people can see it, but it has to be blown away by a big gust of wind and dispersed in all directions. This is good!"

Daiyu was also in a daze when he revealed his true feelings, and sighed: "That's all! Why did Brother Lai become a beetle? If he hadn't saved me last time, I wouldn't have survived!"

"This..." Baoyu was suddenly speechless.

He had heard about what happened that day, and when he thought of Sister Lin being almost hurt by her mother, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Lai Shangrong.

He hesitated: "Then...then I'll go tell my mother and ask her to re-promise Sister Bao to Brother Lai?"

He was so hesitant, Daiyu couldn't see it, and she felt a little discouraged, sighing: "That's it! If you do this today, you will think of Sister Bao in the future, and you will blame me for talking too much. !”

Baoyu just mentioned it casually, otherwise he would not have hesitated and asked questions.

In his mind, he felt that Sister Lin should think the same as him and couldn't bear to see Baochai marry Lai Shangrong.Just as he was about to borrow the donkey from the slope, he was interrupted by Zicuckoo.

"Since the second master doesn't have that intention, why not go find the wife now so that the girl can feel at ease!"

Although she retreated with Xue Yan, she did not go far, but stayed outside the door.

Firstly, he was worried that the two would have another quarrel, and secondly, he wanted to know Baoyu's thoughts.

It is true that she and Daiyu are like sisters, but they also have hidden secrets.

She saw Baoyu and Daiyu's close relatives in her eyes and was happy in her heart.

Seeing this, Daiyu was touched by the heartfelt oath, and was disheartened by Baoyu's hesitation, so she couldn't help but speak out.

Baoyu was provoked by Zijuan's words and was so troubled that he couldn't get off the stage.

"I……"

I have been blushing and feeling thick-necked for a long time. When I saw Daiyu's expression becoming colder and colder, I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet: "Wait! I'll go find my wife right now!"

Watching Baoyu leave, Daiyu couldn't help but sigh: "You girl, why do you bother to provoke him? It will cause a lot of trouble for nothing."

Zijuan smiled and said, "The girl always says that we are like biological sisters. I see the second master and the girl so... I feel anxious."

Daiyu was deeply moved after hearing this. The master and servant had their own thoughts, so I won't say them for now.

But Baoyu came out of the blue gauze cabinet and rushed to Mrs. Wang's courtyard in a hurry, but she became frightened.

Today, he was summoned by Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to inform him about moving into the Grand View Garden. At that time, his parents were in the same room.

Although he has made up his mind to find Mrs. Wang, he never dares to mention it in front of Jia Zheng.

Youdao is one that works hard, then wanes, and three times it is exhausted.As he hesitated, he lost his courage.

Of course, it has nothing to do with his lack of firm will.

Seeing Jin Chuan coming out of the house, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask Mrs. Wang if she was still in the house.

After getting a negative answer, he went to Mrs. Wang's house.

When Mrs. Wang saw him leaving and returning, she thought he was dissatisfied with the delay in moving into the Grand View Garden for a few days, and said with a smile: "What? It's only a few days, can't you wait?"

Seeing her mother's kind face, Baoyu became more courageous and puffed up her chest and said: "Madam! I was talking nonsense the past few days. Brother Lai and Sister Bao are a good match, so let her..."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Wang slapped the table on the kang, causing the tea bowl to jingle.

He scolded: "I have already told your father about this. If you have the courage, go find him yourself!"

If Jia Zheng hadn't revealed his suspicious thoughts, she might still have let Baoyu go, but now she just wanted to avoid suspicion.

Even if Baoyu really dares to go to Jia Zheng, she will stop her. After all, she has never mentioned Baoyu in front of Jia Zheng before. If her son goes to look for him now, maybe Jia Zheng will suspect that she is instigating him. Can't explain clearly.

Fortunately, the worst case did not appear. Baoyu was already weak in will and lost the courage to work hard. Hearing Jia Zheng's name now was the straw that broke the camel's back.
