Chapter 378 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 49
Chapter 378 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 49
Her heart couldn't help but pounding. She was surprised by Jia Lang's boldness, but she couldn't help but envy and admire Jia Lang's boldness.
If only my mother had dared to do the same...
Lin Daiyu was raised by Lin Ruhai as the second male lead since she was a child. She looked like a delicate and weak girl, but in fact she was very noble and arrogant. She once complained about why she was not born a boy. If she were a boy, perhaps her mother would not be so devastated by the death of her half brother, and perhaps her father would not die with regret for having no offspring.
Lin Daiyu was most dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu when they talked about reading. She liked reading, but Jia Baoyu always said that reading was mediocre. Whenever this happened, Lin Daiyu was always very disappointed with Jia Baoyu, and perhaps there was also a hint of jealousy.
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are different but also similar. Xue Baochai also regrets that as a woman, she cannot achieve success and strive for her own goals like men.
Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu are the objects of their envy and jealousy. They clearly have the identities of men that they desire but cannot get, but their destiny button only cares about pleasure. Such opportunities are what they want but can never get.
"Brother Lang, Sister Lang..."
Looking at Jia Lang now, he is truly worthy of Lin Daiyu's admiration in every way. He was a juren at the age of sixteen, the top scorer in an examination at the age of thirteen, he went out to study alone, saw mountains and rivers, and read thousands of scriptures. These are experiences that she, as a woman, would never have the chance to try in her entire life.
Now Lin Daiyu no longer has any aversion to the marriage proposal. She suddenly realizes that her cousin Jia Lang is much better than her cousin Jia Baoyu in every perspective.
After the beginning of spring, all the members of the Jia family went to the Qingxu Temple to hold a religious ceremony. Taoist Zhang proposed to Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu was unhappy. He went home and quarreled with Lin Daiyu, which alarmed the old lady.
Jia Baoyu went to find Lin Daiyu to reconcile. At Jia's grandmother's house, Baoyu, Daiyu and Chai were talking in secret and the atmosphere was tense.
Jia Baoyu was resentful because he did not see the expected reaction from Lin Daiyu, and perhaps even a little panicked, thinking that Lin Daiyu had no interest in him. At this time, Lin Daiyu was waiting to get engaged to Jia Lang after she reached the age of marriage. Although she still had feelings for Jia Baoyu, her mentality had changed.
The old lady saw clearly that Daiyu had come to terms with her thoughts and was no longer thinking about Baoyu. However, although Baoyu seemed to be slow to realize his feelings, his feelings for Daiyu were indeed different from those for others.
It's just that Jia Baoyu's feelings are too superficial. Even Jia's mother knows a lot about it. Don't say that Jia Baoyu only likes Lin Daiyu and only pity the others. All women know that the world is the world, and the only thing is pursuit.
Don’t say that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are ancient people and have different ideas. In Lin Daiyu’s mind, concubines are just toys or something like that. If that’s true, then why would Wang Xifeng bother to stop Jia Lian from taking a concubine? It’s not like they can’t afford a toy.
It is not known whether Xue Baochai's feelings towards Jia Baoyu gradually grew colder because she was still thinking about Jia Lang, or because Lin Daiyu was no longer competing with her. However, despite this, Xue Baochai still did not want Jia Baoyu to keep Lin Daiyu in his heart.
The three of them each had their own needs, but because their needs could not be understood by others, they became more and more tense, and no one could convince anyone else, so in the end they had to disperse.
Lin Daiyu stayed with Lady Jia and accompanied her. She wanted to explain something, but seeing her understanding eyes, Lin Daiyu just cried in grievance.
Did she really dislike Jia Baoyu? No, it was just that Lin Daiyu had come to her senses. In the entire Jia family, except for Grandmother Jia who was willing to marry Jia Baoyu, everyone else considered Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai to be a couple. Even the maids serving in Jia Baoyu's yard hoped that it was Xue Baochai who would marry Jia Baoyu instead of themselves.
With so many obstacles and an engagement, how could she fight for it? Moreover, although Baoyu had the intention, he was really ignorant. Lin Daiyu saw clearly that Jia Baoyu still didn't understand what he thought of her. He only said that he would not let her leave and would stay with her forever, but he never promised anything.
Jia Baoyu failed to reconcile with Lin Daiyu, and ran angrily to find the Second Madam. He happened to meet Jin Chuan, who was serving the Second Madam. The two of them flirted with each other and were seen by the Second Madam. Soon after, the news of Jin Chuan jumping into the well spread throughout the Jia Mansion.
In the end, this incident developed just like the plot, without causing any waves, but Jia Baoyu's behavior deeply chilled Lin Daiyu's heart.
Lin Daiyu has transformed, while Jia Baoyu remains at the same point, and the two are drifting apart. After Xue Baochai learned about this, she felt nothing. For Xue Baochai, the death of a servant is nothing to worry about.
Without Jia Lang, nothing seems to have changed in the story of the capital. What was supposed to come still came, but the small changes hidden behind Jia Lang's existence seemed insignificant, but they did affect something. It's just that they were too far away and Jia Lang had no time to pay attention.
Because at this time Jia Lang was confronting a monk and a Taoist priest. In this life, Jia Lang changed Jia Yingchun's birth date and horoscope, and because of the soul assimilation characteristics, he changed Jia Yingchun's appearance. When the monk and the Taoist priest saw Jia Lang, they did not realize that she was Jia Yingchun. The reason why they confronted Jia Lang was because of Jia Lang's merits.
"This young man has a predestined relationship with Taoism. Would you like to practice with me?"
"Taoist, you are talking nonsense. This young man clearly has a connection with Buddha. It would be better for him to become a monk like me!"
Merit is a good thing for a practitioner, and evil spirits cannot easily approach a person with merit. The monk and the Taoist saw that Jia Lang had merit at such a young age, and thought that he was the reincarnation of a good person. They wanted to take advantage of Jia Lang's karma, so they went to Jia Lang and persuaded him to become their apprentice.
What the monk and the Taoist didn't know was that in Jia Lang's mental perception, the auras of the monk and the Taoist were very turbid and they didn't seem like those of good people.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be a monk or a Taoist priest."
Because Jia Lang refused, the scene suddenly became very strange. The three people confronted each other. The monk and the Taoist wanted to force Jia Lang to become their disciple, but were afraid that the other party would interfere.
There are many descriptions of a monk and a Taoist priest in the original version of "Dream of Red Mansions". They appear at almost every turning point of fate. It was they who persuaded Lin Daiyu to become a nun, it was they who predicted Zhen Yinglian's fate, it was they who rescued Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng, and it was they who finally led Liu Xianglian to become a monk.
Some people said that the monk and the Taoist were the younger brothers left behind by Fairy Jinghuan in the lower world, while others analyzed that the monk and the Taoist were Fairy Jinghuan's enemies. Jia Lang was not sure which one they were at this time, but no matter which one they were, she did not intend to go with them.
Fortunately, because of Jia Lang's insistence, the monk and the Taoist priest did not dare to use force and could only retreat with regret. Jia Lang's mental power was always staring at the two of them, and he clearly heard them sigh after they left that they had merits and official luck in their bodies, and that they could not be forced or they would backfire.
