Chapter 377 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 48
With Jia Lang's reminder, Grandmother Jia had long seen through the various calculations behind the masks of the Jia family. Now she was not afraid that Lin Daiyu would see through it, and she told her without hiding the fact that the Jia family had embezzled Lin Daiyu's millions of wealth to build the Grand View Garden.
After hearing what Grandmother Jia said, Lin Daiyu behaved very calmly. When Grandmother Jia saw her expression, she knew that Lin Daiyu had seen all of this and might have had suspicions for a long time.
At Rongguo Mansion, Grandmother Jia was still having a heart-to-heart talk with her granddaughter, while in Jinling, Jia Lang and Liu Xianglian had already visited Jia Lang's former teacher and were preparing to go to Huizhou.
When passing through Jinling County, Jia Lang met a man, Zhen Baoyu from the Zhen family. This man did not appear in Dream of the Red Chamber, but was only mentioned. The reason why Jia Lang could recognize him was because he looked exactly like Jia Baoyu but had a completely different personality.
Zhen Baoyu was also very interested in Jia Lang, and forced Jia Lang to drink with Liu Xianglian. During the process, the three of them talked about everything and soon became familiar with each other. Zhen Baoyu admired Jia Lang's knowledge very much. He was loved by the old lady of the Zhen family since he was a child, and he was determined to study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. However, he was too young and not knowledgeable enough, so he has not yet finished his studies.
Now that he has met Jia Lang, the Jinling prodigy, he is naturally attracted to him. Jia Lang cooperates with Zhen Baoyu with good temper throughout the whole process, taking the opportunity to use his mental power to explore the strangeness of him. You have to know that this is the world of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the similarities between Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu are definitely not an accident.
The good news is that Jia Lang discovered the problem, but the bad news is that the secret of Zhen Baoyu is of no use to Jia Lang. Zhen Baoyu is the reincarnation of the fairy Ying from heaven, while Jia Baoyu should be the reincarnation of the stubborn stone.
Using the method of merit, he sank into the line of cause and effect, and along the line of cause and effect, Jia Lang found the truth from Zhen Baoyu.
Beside the Fairy River in Heaven, there is a stubborn stone left over from when Nuwa repaired the sky. In the center of the stone is a ball of the energy of heaven and earth. When Fairy Jinghuan learned about this, she wanted to absorb that ball of the energy of heaven and earth. However, the stone was too stubborn and could not be melted. Fairy Jinghuan had no choice but to think of a way.
It just so happened that there was a fairy grass called Crimson Pearl growing beside the stubborn stone. The fairy grass and the stubborn stone were in a mutually reinforcing and counteracting relationship. Its life essence could be used to dissolve the shell of the stubborn stone, while the existence of the stubborn stone restricted the growth of the fairy grass.
After learning about this, Jinghuan wanted to pick the Immortal Grass of the Crimson Pearl, but in order to obtain the life essence of the Immortal Grass of the Crimson Pearl, the Immortal Grass must voluntarily do so. For this reason, Jinghuan colluded with the attendant Shenying who wanted to become a mortal. The attendant Shenying deliberately led the water of the fairy river to irrigate the Immortal Grass of the Crimson Pearl, to show favor to the Immortal Grass of the Crimson Pearl, and to create cause and effect.
Later, Fairy Jinghuan bewitched the stone to come down to earth and make it reincarnate at the same time as the attendant Shenying. Because the stone was mixed with a little of the attendant Shenying's soul when it was reincarnated, Jia Baoyu was exactly the same as Zhen Baoyu after birth, and the energy of heaven and earth in the stone could not be absorbed by the mortal body, so it could only be transformed into a spiritual jade.
After the fairy servant Shenying came down to earth, the Immortal Herb Crimson Pearl had to come down to earth to repay her tears. Fairy Jinghuan changed the person she chose, which resulted in Lin Daiyu repaying her tears but never being able to repay her gratitude. Because she chose the wrong person, she eventually died of tears.
Jia Baoyu's spiritual jade was dissolved by the life essence of the Immortal Grass of the Crimson Pearl. After Lin Daiyu's death, it completely lost its protection. The energy of heaven and earth inside leaked out and was completely absorbed by the Fairy Jinghuan.
Jia Baoyu had gone in and out of the illusory world several times, which was arranged by the Fairy Jinghuan in order to check the progress of the melting of the spiritual jade.
After finding out Zhen Baoyu's background, Jia Lang lost interest. Although Zhen Baoyu was the reincarnation of the fairy servant Shenying, he didn't have anything special on him that could help him in his practice. In the setting of Dream of Red Mansions, all the fairies and magical herbs that came to the earth were just ordinary people and were of no use.
Jia Lang wanted to leave, but Zhen Baoyu was reluctant to let him go, so he kept persuading him to visit the Zhen family. Liu Xianglian and Zhen Baoyu hit it off at first sight and wanted to spend more time together, so he also helped Zhen Baoyu persuade Jia Lang.
"Lang'er, I heard from Baoyu that your Jia family and the Zhen family are old relatives. Now that you are at the doorstep of your relatives, how can you not pay your respects?"
Seeing that Zhen Baoyu and Liu Xianglian were drunk and started to fight, Jia Lang had no choice but to accompany the servants of the Zhen Mansion to send Zhen Baoyu and Liu Xianglian back to the Zhen family.
While they were drunk, Jia Lang left a letter and left alone.
To be honest, Jia Lang had wanted to get rid of Liu Xianglian a long time ago. Although Liu Xianglian was not a bad person, to Jia Lang, this person was too clingy. With his status, he could not tolerate having someone following him all the time. Especially because of Liu Xianglian following him, Jia Lang had to endure not using space.
After waking up, Liu Xianglian did not see Jia Lang. He only saw a letter left by Jia Lang on the table. Jia Lang's words in the letter were very tactful, but Liu Xianglian still knew that Jia Lang disliked him.
Liu Xianglian felt aggrieved, puzzled and afraid. He guessed that Jia Lang had discovered his hidden thoughts. In order not to embarrass himself, Jia Lang chose to leave quietly.
While Liu Xianglian was in a state of disarray, Jia Lang was alone and felt that he could breathe freely and was very refreshed.
Lin Daiyu in Jia's house left Jia's mother's courtyard and returned to her room but could not fall asleep for a long time. The words that Jia's mother said to her today really completely shattered Lin Daiyu's innocence.
No blood relationship can compare to real gold and silver. This was the first time that Lin Daiyu felt the truth of the world so vividly.
Late at night, Zijuan, who was on guard, had fallen asleep. Lin Daiyu sat up alone, and quietly opened the box that Jia's mother had given her through the bed curtain. In the box, there were only three letters, besides the 200,000 dowry that Jia's mother had prepared for her.
One was a letter Lin Ruhai wrote to Lady Jia entrusting her son to the care of her. After Lin Daiyu opened it, she cried as she read. Every word in the letter revealed his love for her.
One was a letter written by Lin Ruhai to Lady Jia to confirm the marriage. There was not much content in the letter, only two lists of Lin Daiyu's dowry were attached, one with a total value of one million and the other with a total value of two hundred thousand.
A dowry of two hundred thousand was the minimum requirement for Lin Daiyu to marry into the Jia family. Lin Ruhai gave up 80% of his family wealth just to ask the Jia family to treat Lin Daiyu well. If the Jia family broke the contract in the end, the dowry list worth one million was the way out Lin Ruhai left for Lin Daiyu, and it was a guarantee for Lin Daiyu to marry someone else. However, Lin Ruhai ultimately underestimated human nature. It was because of this one million dowry that killed Lin Daiyu in her previous life.
The last letter was written by Grandmother Jia to Lin Daiyu. It contained only a secret. Lin Daiyu was so surprised after reading it that she didn't care that it was still late at night. She got up, put on her clothes and burned the third letter as instructed in Grandmother Jia's letter.
In order not to expose his identity, Jia Lang decisively got rid of Liu Xianglian. She never expected that Lady Jia in Rongguo Mansion would sell her out so easily for her granddaughter Lin Daiyu.
Obviously, the secret in the third-party letter was about Jia Lang's female identity. After Lin Daiyu learned about this, she felt completely different when she thought of her cousin Jia Lang.
