Chapter 206 Letter
Lin Ruhai had passed away a month ago. Daiyu is now taking Lin Ruhai's spirit to Suzhou with Jia Lian, and she will be back in about three or four months. After hearing this news, Jia Baoyu was still very concerned about it. Thinking of Daiyu's crying now, she couldn't blame herself more and more in her heart.
Sister Feng saw Jia Baoyu laughing like this and said, "It's good now. Your sister Lin will live in the family in the future."
Jia Baoyu forced a smile and asked Zhaoer, "What did Sister Lin give me?"
Zhao'er shook her head, "Miss Lin has never given anything, but Miss Zijuan asked her to send a letter to the second master." As she said that, Zhao'er took the letter and handed it to Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu took the letter and didn't read it immediately, and said to Zhaoer: "Don't hurry to leave. Wait until I go back to get you some things, and you can send it to Sister Lin."
"Don't worry, Master Bao Er. My second master also asked me to take some things. Mingri will leave in the morning. If you have any questions, please give me the order."
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu said goodbye to Jia Mu, Fengjie, and Baochai, and went back first. The three of them knew that Jia Baoyu was anxious to prepare and didn't say much. Baochai was also gone because of this. Jia Baoyu's questioning was much easier. She and Daiyu had a much better relationship. Thinking about Daiyu's parents have disappeared in the past six months, and Daiyu was not sad, but the thoughts in her heart became more firm.
Jia Baoyu returned to his yard. Outside the yard, only Xiangling was studying under the light. When he saw Jia Baoyu coming back, he quickly put the book aside, "Why is the second master coming back a little late today?"
Jia Baoyu also lost his former smile and said to Xiangling: "Grind ink and prepare the paper, I will use it later."
After hearing this, Xiangling hurried in and prepared. Xiren was asleep on the bed because of some physical discomfort. When she heard Jia Baoyu come back, she forced herself to get up. Seeing Jia Baoyu's face se, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Her face se is so ugly."
Jia Baoyu shook his head, "Just just now, Zhao'er heard that Uncle Lin is gone."
Xiren was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything more. Although he knew that Jia Baoyu would not be angry with him, it would be bad if he said something wrong and made Jia Baoyu feel unhappy. Xiren didn't want to do this. Knowing that Jia Baoyu was busy asking Musk Moon and Qingwen to bring tea and water.
Jia Baoyu sat beside the bed and opened the letter given by Zijuan. Zijuan was like Xiren and others who were illiterate, and of course it was not absolute. He could not write a letter. Naturally, the letter was written by someone else, but it was told by Zijuan.
Mr. Bao personally opened:
It was supposed to have written a letter to the second master earlier, but because there was nothing important to write, and no one went to Beijing here, it was delayed until now. When we arrived in Yangzhou, Mr. Lin was already a little unwell. When the girls just came back, they cried like tears, and they never ate and slept well, and their health was much worse. Fortunately, Mr. Lin instructed some girls before he recovered.
In addition to serving Mr. Lin, the girl wanted to pick up a pen to write something for the second master, but she threw it away every time she finished writing. Zijuan couldn't recognize her and didn't know what the girl was writing. She only knew that the girl missed her very much. The girl would take her second master's Baoyu to sleep with her, and she could watch it for a long time.
Last night, Mr. Lin disappeared, but he left peacefully. The matter behind him had been arranged before. The girl was not too sad. Please rest assured about this.
We will set off to take Mr. Lin’s coffin back to Suzhou tomorrow. We should go back to the capital in the summer. We also ask the second master to worry about it all the time.
The letter was short, but he said everything he should say. When Jia Baoyu saw it, he felt that Zijuan said everything was vivid in his mind. Zijuan also received Jia Baoyu's instructions and followed it very well, but what he followed was too much. None of them said about himself, and everything was about Daiyu, but the last sentence still made Jia Baoyu feel Zijuan's mood.
Compared to Daiyu's return home, Zijuan left the Jia Mansion for the first time. She was afraid that she was uneasy in her heart, but she was really interested.
After putting the letter away, Jia Baoyu arrived at the desk. Xiangling had ground the ink and took out a piece of letter paper to start writing.
Zijuan, I have received the letter. I said it very well. I am very happy and sad. Lin Meimei is strong, but the strong one is extremely fragile. The dead are gone. I hope you will advise her a lot and don’t let her hurt her body.
Everything is fine here, don’t worry about it. I have someone to clean your yard every time. Everything is the same as before, and there has not been any change. I just wait for you to come back.
I will ask Zhaoer who goes back to bring some bird's nests and other things. Although they are all there, our family is different from others. You make some of Lin Meimei and the wines. I don't know if there are any sold in Yangzhou and Suzhou. I will ask Zhaoer to bring some, and it is better to put Lin Meimei's health first.
I always want to write to you, but I don’t know what to say halfway through the pen. It’s just a good thing. The ancestor is very good, the wife is very good, the concubine is very good, and Sister Bao is very good. I am very good, everything is very good, I just hope that you all come back and everything is fine.
I miss you very much and want you to come back soon.
After writing, Jia Baoyu added another sentence, "Don't let Lin Meimei see it, otherwise she would probably think of her uncle again when she just recovered. This sentence is also the reason why Jia Baoyu did not write a letter to Daiyu. Daiyu thought more, and her direction was different from others most of the time. Jia Baoyu couldn't help but be careless. It's okay, but now she is no longer by Daiyu's side, so she naturally has to think more.
After writing, Jia Baoyu looked at the short letter and laughed at it. After thousands of words were spoken in his heart, there was nothing to write. Jia Baoyu really understood what it means to pick up a pen and couldn't speak. Then Jia Baoyu folded the letter and put it in the envelope that Xiren had prepared. The ink was the kind that was very easy to do, so there was no need to worry about.
Jia Baoyu gave the letter to Xiren and said, "I asked you to pack the bird's nest and the wine you made a little while ago, and I will send it to Sister Feng later. Let Zhaoer take it over and give it to Sister Lin."
Xiren nodded and went to do it. The second Ri Zhaoer left. Jia Baoyu had no chance to ask Baochai because of the disruption of this matter.
Let’s not talk about Jia Baoyu. However, since Qin Zhong followed Jia Baoyu and Fengjie to take care of Tiekan Temple, he was weak and suffered some wind and frost in the suburbs. He was even more frightened by Jia Baoyu. He was a little bad when he was in Shuiyue Temple. When he came back, he coughed and had a cold. He was lazy in his diet and was invincible. He only recuperated at home and could not go to school.
Xue Pan is still alive, but now he is not very close to Qin Zhong, but Xiang Lian still has a special liking for Qin Zhong. Every time he plays with Qin Zhong, he has never gone to school at all times, Xiang Lian asks people and learns that Qin Zhong has been sick for a few times but can't hold it.
After getting off, she came to find Qin Zhong secretly. Although Qin Zhong's health was not good, she had not been intimate with others for a long time. She was inevitably a little unbearable. The two of them were doing the same thing as men, but they were unintentionally realized by Qin Bangye. Qin Bangye was the most scheming person. When he saw this, he was furious and wanted to hit the two of them. Xiang Lian hurriedly ran out.
Qin Bangye was so angry that he beat Qin Zhong hard. Qin Zhong was so cruel that he hated his teachings that he was so angry that he had angered and sick, and he was so sad that he was so angry that he was so sad.
When Jia Baoyu heard the news, he was studying at home. This actually gave Jia Baoyu some unreal feelings. He never thought that these things that were not available were never escaped. Because it was because of the connection, Jia Baoyu naturally wanted to go over to mourn. When he arrived at Qin Zhong's house, he never saw Qin Zhong wearing mourning clothes. All the things were done by the old housekeeper of the Qin Mansion.
Jia Baoyu went to Qin Zhong to see him. However, he saw Qin Zhong lying on the bed very weakly. It turned out that Qin Zhong was originally timid and had not recovered from illness. Although he had learned a little from Xue Pan, Xue Pan was also an extremely filial person. This filial piety still penetrated into Qin Zhong's heart. Now that I saw that my father was angry to death by him, he had no regrets and suffered many diseases, but he had a tendency to be ineffective.
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but sigh again when he saw it. He never thought that those who he didn't care about would still set out towards their fate. If Jia Baoyu had been a few months ago, he would probably feel sad and even lose confidence, but now he doesn't. Qin Keqing's affairs are there, and as long as he works hard, he will naturally be able to do it.
However, Jia Baoyu felt a little guilty about Qin Zhong. He thought that if he hadn't been intentional about using Qin Zhong at the beginning, Qin Zhong and Qin Bang would not have ended like this now, because Jia Baoyu's attitude towards Qin Zhong was much better. He asked Qin Zhong to recuperate with kind words and instructed some other things, which made Qin Zhong extremely moved.
Jia Baoyu left Qin Mansion but did not immediately meet Rongguo Mansion. Instead, he turned to Qin Keqing. The news about Qin Keqing was extremely closed. Jia Baoyu had received the news that Qin Bang was also dead for a short time, so he had not had time to tell Qin Keqing that Qin Bang was like Qin Zhong. Jia Baoyu must have said it, and he had to watch Qin Keqing not be too excited. In this case, he naturally could not just send a message, but also to see Qin Keqing's mood before speaking well.
