The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, he found that person in a dimly lit place. A girl's feelings are always poetry, which is difficult for outsiders to imagine, erratic, and impossible to fathom.
Lin Mansion,
Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu talked about Jia Qi. Daiyu was not aware of Lin Ruhai's thoughts at all. After all, she had talked to many people before.
I just heard Daiyu say in a sweet voice: "He is a big bad guy! He robbed my maid as soon as he came back, and that little heartless Xiangling, he stayed with me for three years, eating and sleeping together. In the end, He actually surrendered to the enemy directly, he really hates me!"
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but froze. What was going on? Others at least had good words, but when it came to Jia Qi, they all said bad things. Well, the tone was a bit strange.
Daiyu didn't see the strange look in her father's eyes. She was just talking to herself. She didn't hear her father speak for a while. When she looked up, she saw her father's complicated and weird expression.
Daiyu knew she had made a mistake, so she covered her little face with a handkerchief, blushing secretly, and couldn't help complaining in her heart. Jia Qi was so abominable, causing her to make such a big embarrassment in front of her father.
Seeing that her daughter was a little embarrassed, Lin Ruhai didn't look any further and said with a smile: "Yu'er, you are biased this time. Brother Xian was granted the title of Marquis when he was young, opened up borders for the country, and protected the country and the people. This is terrible. These are all real achievements, and he is already a pillar of the great prosperity!"
But how could Lin Ruhai know what the girl was thinking at this stage? The more he said this, the more unconvinced Daiyu became.
"Hmph, it's just like what my father said. The ancients have said it a long time ago, no gold is pure and no one is perfect. What's more, he is not much older than me, and he already has people like Cai Luan around him. It’s obvious that someone like my sister is not a good person!”
After hearing these words, Lin Ruhai was even more confused as to what his daughter was thinking. In his impression, Jia Qi was the most outstanding young talent in this dynasty. Is there anyone who can compare? Even the top pick is much inferior.
So he started to make insinuations again, "Having said all that, Yu'er mostly praises more than criticizes, but Weifuhu is confused. Who does Yu'er think is a good one?"
Daiyu was slightly startled when she heard this, blinked her eyes twice, and secretly thought about the people she had commented on before. Isn't this the case? But when she talked about those people, it was difficult for her not to criticize her, so her His little face turned red unnaturally.
Daiyu said angrily, pretending not to obey, "Father, it was obviously you who asked me to say it~"
Lin Ruhai smiled and shook his head, and then talked about Baoyu from Jia's Mansion. Although Jia Baoyu had not come back to Lin's Mansion once, the number of times he had seen him was not just that one time, he had seen him every once in a while. When it's time to go to Jia's house to pick someone up, Jia Zheng will ask Jia Baoyu to come over, and he will see more.
For Jia Baoyu, his inner evaluation is not low, just like in the original work, Jia Zheng said that Jia Baoyu is extremely intelligent, more than ten times stronger than Jia Huan and others, but he has been arrogant since he was a child. , coupled with his kindness to others and his gentle temperament, if the people in the Jia family can really be ruthless and let him calm down, it will not be difficult to become an official in the imperial examination in the end.
But now he couldn't be happy anymore. Regarding his daughter's illness, he guessed that only Jia Qi could take action, and maybe there would be a glimmer of hope. If his girl really developed a crush on Jia Baoyu, it would be trouble.
He had already seen people like Jia Qi, who spoke the truth and acted vigorously and resolutely, when he was in Yangzhou. When the time came, he guessed that the other party would not care whether Daiyu was willing or not, and it would be fine if he did not rob someone. Okay, then it will still be my daughter who will suffer.
With this series of complicated thoughts, Lin Ruhai asked again: "Yu'er, what do you think of Baoyu?"
Daiyu stretched out her hand and put it on her chin. She thought for a moment. In the past few years in the Jia family, she had to have close contact with Jia Baoyu. Naturally, she knew very well what kind of temper Jia Baoyu had. Jia Zheng was not a bully towards him on weekdays. Just scolding, I never have a good face.
Jia Baoyu, like her, is disgusted with the hypocrisy in the officialdom, because there are too many corruption, bribery, and partisan fights in the officialdom. The intelligence that Dakang has come into contact with from her father in the past few years has made her tremble with fear. .
The forces from all sides are mixed, and people like her father who are dedicated to the country often have to deal with those villains. She is very unhappy about this, but at the same time she also knows in her heart that if a country or a nation wants to progress, it must If peace is to be achieved, officials like his father are indispensable.
Although she doesn't have much contact with the affairs of the court, she also knows that she would rather be a peace dog than a troubled person. Their current life is the result of the joint efforts of those who serve the country and the people like her father, so for Officially speaking, she is conflicted in her heart.
Lin Ruhai has not passed away and has come into contact with more. Daiyu's views on officialdom and Dakang are not as limited as in the original work. Just like her evaluation of those deeds, she did not simply say something from the outside. What you hear will give you your own opinion.
Lin Ruhai, who is also a scholar, thought that her father treated Jia Baoyu just like her uncle, who just said that he was evil, naughty, exquisitely naughty, and not enterprising. Well, it was the kind of evaluation without a single good word. She couldn't bear it in her heart, so she picked out some good things that she thought were good and said: "Second brother is pretty good. Although he is not that smart, he has a photographic memory. He is never harsh on the servants and treats the women in the house. They all respect it, it’s not that unbearable!”
Lin Ruhai's heart sank when he heard Daiyu's words. He didn't expect that his daughter had such a high opinion of Jia Baoyu. Those people before, including Jia Qi, didn't get a few good words from his daughter, but Jia Baoyu said it here. so much.
But this time, Lin Ruhai thought wrong. What Lin Daiyu thought of Jia Baoyu was reflected in her final tone of voice, "It's not that unbearable." The implication was that it wasn't that bad, but in essence, it wasn't easy to occupy. After all, the evaluation is not that high.
Let's look at the two sentences she said to Jia Qi, "No gold is pure, and no one is perfect." In essence, it is gold. Comparing Jia Qi to gold has already taken up most of the benefits. It's just that It's not that perfect, it has some flaws, and I'm afraid it's already over the top in her opinion.
Lin Ruhai was not aware of this little daughter's thoughts. She just thought that her little cotton-padded jacket liked Jia Baoyu from the Jia family, and her whole body felt numb.
However, in order to prevent Daiyu from seeing the clues, he still smiled and finished the dinner with Daiyu. He began to hesitate in his heart, whether he should go to Jiaxi or not, and how to tell Jiaxi after he went that he didn't want to. Do you mind the close contact between him and his daughter? But will Jia Qi agree when the time comes?
In the Champion House, Cai Luan came back with various snacks. She handed them to Wutong, one of the three maids controlled by her with drugs, and asked her to keep them temporarily, and then went to Jia Qi. Report went.
She didn't intend to hide the situation in the Lin Mansion. She wouldn't make the decision for Jia Qi.
After arriving in the study, Cai Luan saw Jia Qi sitting cross-legged on a sofa. She knew that Jia Qi was meditating, so she didn't bother him. She found a place and sat down, supporting her chin with her hands. Looking at Jia Qi's handsome face, he was in a daze.
After a while, Jia Qi opened his eyes and slowly exhaled.
"How are things?"
Jia Qi seemed to have known that Cai Luan was here for a long time, so he asked naturally.
Cai Luan shrugged and told the truth, "It's Sea Sand Datura, a strange poison. I remember it was introduced from the Western Regions. This poison is very harmful and targets the internal organs of the human body. If the dose is small, it is not a special poison." People of this way are simply unable to notice that the residual poison in Miss Lin's body is not large, but it has penetrated deeply into the internal organs. Even if it takes 20 or 30 years, it will not kill her. She is just weak! But it is difficult to get rid of it. It’s very big, and I’m helpless anyway!”
Jia Qi narrowed his eyes. To be honest, he had never heard of Sea Sand Mandala, but hearing Cai Luan's words made him feel a little creepy. It was difficult for ordinary people to detect. Doesn't this mean that if someone around him If someone was poisoned like this, wouldn't he necessarily find out?
With Da Huang Ting protecting his body, he is naturally not afraid, but what about the other people around him?
"Is there no way to resolve it?"
After thinking for a while, Jia Qi asked again.
Cai Luan thought for a while, sighed in her heart, and replied: "It can be resolved, but even if it is resolved, the damage to the internal organs is irreparable. Miss Lin's is a little special, it is a legacy from Mrs. Lin's pregnancy. Yes, it's a little different from ordinary poisoned people. It's like tarsal maggots that linger! Unless someone with your skills takes action, it's basically like that. If you take good care of it, you can live for five or six years. We still have the expectations of a ten-year-old! The Lin family has a good family background, so logically speaking, it’s not a big problem!”
Hearing Cai Luan's answer, Jia Qi nodded slightly. If so, it is not particularly bad news.
It was night, and the lanterns in the capital were just beginning to light up, intersecting with the endless stars in the sky. It was quite interesting, but a few people were destined to have no sleep tonight.
Lin Ruhai stood in the study, looking at the starry night through the study window, with complicated eyes. How should he tell Jia Qi about this matter?
In the Jia Mansion, after dinner, Mother Jia looked at the dark night through the window and fell into silence. She was wondering whether today's plan would succeed.
Qingwen, who had just arrived at the Champion Hou Mansion, thought about what Xiang Ling told her this afternoon, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She was extremely good at needlework, and it happened that her new master was short of two ordinary clothes. If she made great achievements in one fell swoop, Can I ask for some thin noodles from him?
She had seen how impressive Xiangling was in the Hou Mansion!
Jia Qi looked at Xiang Ling and Cai Luan who got into his bed together, with a bright expression on his face. Then he heard Cai Luan say that he was afraid that he would not be able to get up in the morning and would be delayed again. He felt a little funny. Later, Cai Luan even made a bad smile. , but she knew that Jia Qi usually didn't sleep at night, but meditated and practiced. Xiang Ling beside her was blushing and looked very reserved. Back in Yangzhou, she didn't understand anything. She was with Jia Qi. I have slept with him before, but now that I am a little older and I have heard so much from that old nanny, I feel shy after all.
Tomorrow is destined to be another extraordinary day~
