Chapter 234 I am willing to be a wooden fish
After Jia Baoyu left, the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.
Although when Ruan Rong and I mentioned Daiyu, we seemed to be quite familiar with each other, and they had indeed spent more than half a month on a boat together.
But at that time Lin Daiyu seldom walked out of the cabin, so the number of times Sun Shaozong met her can only be described as few and far between.
If you think about it carefully, the two of them didn't even say more than ten sentences.
This kind of relationship seemed even more awkward than that of pure strangers - so much so that Sun Shaozong didn't know what to say to her for a moment.
Fortunately, it was Lin Daiyu who came to him on her own initiative today, so she didn't start a conversation with him.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong looked at Daiyu eagerly , waiting to hear what she had to say.
Daiyu bit her lips tightly and stirred the handkerchief again and again. After two minutes of thinking, she asked with a wandering look, "Sun...Brother Sun, I heard that you said to Brother Bao a few days ago, 'It may not be your turn to speak in the future', but I don't know what you meant by that?"
On the day of the invitation, when Sun Shaozong asked Jia Baoyu to deliver a birthday gift, he heard Baoyu express his gratitude. He did hint at this, but he did not expect that he actually told Lin Daiyu.
And Daiyu came to the door for this, obviously because of the implied meaning behind the words.
"Well..."
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "The meaning of that sentence is roughly the same as you think."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Daiyu's face lost three points of blood color, her body swayed like duckweed in the wind, and the tears in her eyes seemed to be about to overflow from her sockets.
But Lin Daiyu finally held back. Although she was a tearful person, she was always strong-willed. Unless she was someone as close to her as Baoyu, it would be impossible to see her sobbing every day.
However, he managed to hold it in, and when he spoke again, his voice was nasal: "May I ask...May I ask, Brother Sun, why did you come to this conclusion?"
These eight words, 'the pear blossoms are wet with rain, and I feel pity for them', were really written for Lin Daiyu at that time!
The deep voice trembled slightly, and seemed to be able to speak directly to one's heart, making people feel that if they let the tears fall, it would be an unforgivable sin!
But at the same time, I was secretly hoping that the tears would fall immediately so that I could take the opportunity to appreciate her extremely sad and beautiful face!
wrong!
Now is not the time to admire beauty!
"cough……"
Sun Shaozong cleared his throat, and managed to bring his attention back to the right track, and said solemnly: "I know you probably have some speculations in your mind, such as 'I am alone and helpless' and so on. Although this idea is not wrong, the main reason is not this!"
"Not here?"
Lin Daiyu looked up in surprise. Obviously, what Sun Shaozong said was still a little beyond her expectations.
Falling, the tears are falling!
It’s a pity that her expression and eyes have changed now. She missed the golden time for matching and failed to show her most perfect yandere temperament.
Sun Shaozong thought with some regret in his heart, but said solemnly: "That's right, in fact, with the current situation of Rongguo Mansion, there is Wang Taiwei outside and Xiande Consort inside, there is really no need to find any powerful in-laws."
"Especially Brother Bao's kneeling... ahem, gentle and kind nature. If he really wants to marry a powerful and wealthy lady, he will most likely be firmly held in the hands of the Yue family."
"If it was the son of an ordinary local rich man, it wouldn't be a big deal if he was caught by the Yue family, but if it was Brother Bao, he might be involved in the struggle for power in the court."
"Therefore, this mansion will not object to Brother Bao marrying a woman with no one to rely on - on the contrary, perhaps we are happy to see it happen."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was overjoyed. What she was most worried about was that her life as a helpless and helpless person with both her parents dead would affect her final outcome with Jia Baoyu.
Now, hearing Sun Shaozong's confident statement that these were not only not deductions, but could even be plus points, the burden in my heart naturally disappeared.
only……
Since Sun Shaozong believes that this biggest flaw is not an obstacle, why is he still not optimistic about his and Baoyu's future?
"Brother Sun, since these are not problems, why did you say that to Brother Bao that day?"
"Well..."
At this point, Sun Shaozong could only make it clear: "Your background is not a big problem, but your body is really a problem!"
"My body?"
Lin Daiyu was a very smart person. When she heard this, she immediately thought of the supplements that Ruan Rong had sent her in recent months. The quality and quantity of these supplements were obviously much better than before. She also specifically reminded her in the letter to exercise well...
Then he suddenly realized, "You mean because I am weak and sickly, so..."
"That's right."
Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, "Since the power of my mother's family is not taken into consideration, my physique becomes one of the most important criteria."
"But……"
Daiyu could not help but protest, "But Sister Xue was born with a disease, so how could she... how could she... Besides, I am in much better shape now than before, and I haven't coughed much since the beginning of spring this year!"
She finally pointed out her "rival in love".
However, it turned out that Xue Baochai was also a sickly person, which was somewhat beyond Sun Shaozong's expectation.
He scratched his head and hesitated, "Actually, when I say this body, I'm not just talking about whether the body is strong or not, but also about other things..."
"Anything else?"
No matter how smart Lin Daiyu was, she had no idea the reason behind this. She stared with her big watery eyes, waiting for Sun Shaozong to reveal the answer.
It's so hard to talk to little girls!
Sun Shaozong gritted his teeth and simply went all out, his two hands wavering in the air to draw a wretched gourd shape: "To be honest, I actually mean the figure. Look at the ladies and mistresses in the mansion, which one doesn't have a plump figure and is good at bearing children?"
Lin Daiyu finally came to her senses. The images of Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Youshi, and Qin Keqing flashed through her mind one after another, and finally her mind stopped on Xue Baochai.
After comparing these people one by one, her eyes gradually lost their luster, and she murmured, "No wonder, no wonder everyone says she is Concubine Yang..."
Crash~
At this moment, the door curtain suddenly lifted high, and Jia Baoyu rushed in from outside, grabbed Lin Daiyu's arm, and shouted anxiously: "Who cares if she is Yang Fei or not? You must know that I am not Emperor Minghuang of Tang!"
"You know what I'm thinking! If the master and the mistress really want to force me to marry her for the sake of carrying on the family line, I would rather become a monk in a temple and let Huan Lao San inherit the family business!"
Lin Daiyu was in a state of panic, but when she heard him confess his true feelings, her heart melted immediately. However, she refused to show it, and stamped her feet and scolded him, "Who told you to eavesdrop outside? Besides, if you become a monk, wouldn't you have to build another Shuiyue Temple to stuff all your beloved sisters and lovers into it?"
Jia Baoyu smiled innocently: "If I want to build something, I will build another Rongcui Temple. Then you can be like Sister Miaoyu, a fairy-like outsider. Even if I can only be a wooden fish, being beaten by you thousands of times every day, I will be very happy and delighted!"
