Chapter 933 [Ashes of Love: Red Mansion Tribulation 3]
In the past years, Youyou has been silently concerned about the health of Lin's father and mother. She carefully selected and prepared many precious pills that can strengthen the body and let the two elders take them on time. Lin's mother Jia Min also worked very hard. After ten months of pregnancy, she finally gave birth to a baby boy and named him Lin Daike.
This little guy has had a special attachment to Youyou since he was a child. As long as he can't see Youyou, he will burst into tears, and the cry is deafening, and no one can comfort him. It was not until he grew up that the situation improved a little, but his closeness to Youyou has not changed at all.
As for Lin Ruhai, due to long-term use of the health-strengthening pills provided by Youyou, coupled with his daily focus on exercise and maintenance, his body became exceptionally strong. Therefore, he did not suffer from poisoning as in the original novel, and was able to continue his official career safely. With his years of accumulated qualifications and connections, Lin Ruhai successfully transferred from his original seventh-rank salt inspector position to the capital, where he took up the important position of the first-rank Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the important moment for Lin Ruhai to return to Beijing to report on his work. Considering the large amount of luggage he needs to carry on this trip, Lin Ruhai decides to set off alone to return to Beijing to arrange related matters. Jia Min, with Youyou and young Dai Ke, delays for a while and chooses to take a boat to travel slowly along the waterway, and then reunite in Beijing later.
In this way, the group embarked on the journey back to Beijing. At first, sitting on the boat, Dai Ke felt that it was quite novel and interesting, looking around and excited. However, it didn't take long for the novelty to fade away, and it was replaced by endless boredom and discomfort. He was seen curled up in a corner listlessly, and weakly pestered Youyou and asked: "Sister, how long will it take us to reach the capital? This boat is so uncomfortable for me!"
"Brother Ke, the journey to the capital is long. It may take a whole month. We have only completed less than half of the journey, so we have to be patient for a while." Youyou said earnestly to her brother Daiko beside her.
Dai Ke looked miserable, frowning and complaining, "Oh, sister, if you keep walking this slow, by the time I finally get to the capital, I'm afraid I'll have lost half my life!"
Youyou quickly reached out her hand to cover his mouth, scolding him: "Pfft, pfft, pfft, Ke'er, don't talk nonsense! If mother heard you talking nonsense like this, she would definitely scold you severely."
Decor blinked mischievously and said in a low voice, "Hey, sister, don't worry, we are alone here. As long as you keep your mouth shut, I will never say a word, and then mother will definitely not know."
Youyou shook her head helplessly, stretched out her finger and gently poked Dai Ke's forehead, scolding with a smile: "You, you, you are such a troublesome little brat."
At this moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, she excitedly pulled Youyou's sleeve and said, "Sister, I heard from mother that when we go to the capital this time, in addition to doing business, we can also go back to visit grandma's house! I heard that grandma has many brothers and sisters. Among them, there are three sisters and a brother! And that brother and you, sister, both have the word 'Yu' in their names! What's more amazing is that that brother has been carrying a piece of beautiful jade with him since he was born. It is said that the jade is very precious and rare!"
"Yeah, that's good. In this way, you finally have a playmate! When the time comes, you can ask your brother Baoyu to take you to play together." Youyou said softly with a smile on her face.
"Humph, I don't want to! What's more, I don't even know what kind of personality that brother Baoyu has. What if he doesn't like me? What if he dares to bully me? Besides, I'm a woman, I definitely can't beat him. Those men just play and have fun all day long, it's really disrespectful! Sister, I really want to pass the examination and become a scholar. Originally, I planned to take the exam this year, but my father insisted that I stay for another year before taking the exam, and he wouldn't let me rush to take the exam. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have become a scholar long ago!" Decorated with frowned eyebrows, pouted her lips, and muttered reluctantly.
"Brother Ke, your father did this out of love and consideration for you. As the saying goes, 'Too hard to break, but too gentle to fail', you are still young and your mind is not yet fully mature. Many children of your age are still doing sneaky things, but you have already passed the examination and become a student. Over the years, just because your father served as the Imperial Censor of Salt, he inadvertently offended many people. And you are so smart, they must have set their sights on you a long time ago. Therefore, the safest plan is to wait until these storms have subsided before taking the exam. By then, there will probably be no more complications." Youyou advised earnestly.
"I know, sister! Actually, I was just complaining casually. I wouldn't really blame our mother." Decorte blinked her bright big eyes and explained quickly.
"Well, it's good that you understand it, but you still have to be more careful. In my opinion, our journey will not be smooth. There are also many people on Ama's side who want to stop him from returning to Beijing. Fortunately, Ama is smart and has many powerful secret guards with him. Otherwise, Ama would be in great danger this time, and maybe even his life would be in danger. Calculating the time, Ama should have arrived in Beijing safely by now. Those guys who are hiding in the dark and doing bad things, since they have failed to succeed, they will probably turn their spearheads to us. After all, compared with Ama, we are relatively easier to deal with." Youyou frowned slightly and analyzed the current situation with a serious face.
"Hmph! If they dare to come, I will make them taste my power and regret coming to this world!" Dai Ke said angrily with her hands on her hips, looking fearless.
"Oh, brother Ke, don't act so impulsively. Be careful not to get into big trouble. I don't want to help you clean up the mess later." Youyou shook her head helplessly and advised earnestly.
"Hehe... Sister, don't worry. I will try my best to control myself and be a little more careful. By the way, sister, there is one thing that I am not sure about. Mother doesn't know any martial arts. Have you sent anyone to protect her? What if those bad guys are planning to target mother? " Dai Ke suddenly thought of her mother and looked worried.
"Look at how impatient you are. You don't trust me in doing things. I have already arranged people to secretly protect your mother. It is absolutely foolproof." Youyou patted Dai Ke's shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to worry too much.
"That's good, sister. I really want to hear you play the piano!" Decor said expectantly, with excitement gleaming in her eyes.
"Okay, Huandie, go and get my piano." Youyou smiled slightly and whispered.
"Yes, Miss." Huandie responded, and turned around and walked away quickly. After a while, she was seen walking slowly towards him, carefully holding the Jiaoweiqin that Youyou often played. The qin looked antique, and the body of the qin exuded a faint woody fragrance.
Huandie gently placed the zither in front of Youyou, then respectfully stepped aside. Youyou sat on the ground elegantly, stretched out her jade hands and gently placed them on the strings, as if she had a natural tacit understanding with the zither. Then, she adjusted her breathing slightly, plucked the strings lightly with her fingers, and the beautiful and melodious sound of the zither instantly poured out like flowing water, lingering in the air.
Dai Ke quietly closed her eyes, immersed in the melodious music. Her face was filled with an intoxicated expression, as if she was completely attracted by the moving melody. Youyou also closed her eyes tightly, playing with full concentration, and completely immersed in the world of music.
Time passed quietly. After an unknown amount of time, the two suddenly opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other. At that moment, they understood the meaning from each other's eyes - someone has boarded the ship! It seems that a wonderful show is about to begin...
