Chapter 942 [Ashes of Love: Red Mansion Tribulation 12]
"You kid." Grandmother Jia shook her head slightly, showing a little helplessness on her face, and sighed in her heart: Why are you so stupid? What she did was nothing more than to give Baoyu and Youyou more opportunities to spend time together! When the time is right, the two can get married. But at this moment, Grandmother Jia had forgotten what Dai Ke mentioned before - that Youyou was a concubine to be selected!
Seeing this, Jia Min's heart was shaken, and she could not help but feel sad. The familiar yet unfamiliar Jia Mu in front of her seemed to be completely different from the past. The mother who once doted on her had now become so concerned with interests, completely disregarding other things. Although Jia Mu still loved her, it was mixed with too much utilitarianism.
Jia Min took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said slowly, "Mother, it's getting late. I will take the two children and leave first."
"Oh, why are you leaving so soon after arriving? Time flies so fast!" Grandmother Jia hurriedly tried to persuade you to stay.
"Mother, look at the weather. It's really getting late. If we don't go back now, it will be too late." Jia Min explained again.
"Min'er, it's so rare for you to come here. Can't you stay a few more days at home? We mother and daughter can have some heart-to-heart talks then." Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Min eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Mother, now that I have returned to the capital, I will have plenty of time in the future. There is no need to worry about not having the opportunity to have a long chat with you! Whenever I miss you, I can come back to visit you at any time." Jia Min said to her mother with a smile on her face.
Grandmother Jia nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "In that case, why not leave Ke'er and Daiyu in the mansion? In this way, the brothers and sisters can get together often and have a companion with whom they can talk to each other."
When Jia Min heard this, she immediately understood what Grandmother Jia was thinking. It seemed that her mother still hadn't given up on that matter. However, considering that the person in front of her was her biological mother, Jia Min naturally couldn't bear to directly expose Grandmother Jia's thoughts, so she followed her words and responded: "Mother, there are some situations that you may not understand. My husband has already made arrangements. He plans to send Ke'er to Yuelu Academy for further studies, hoping that he will achieve academic success and bring honor to the family in the future; and Yu'er also has a lot of things to do. My husband specially invited an experienced nanny from the palace to teach Yu'er court etiquette. After all, Yu'er is getting older, and she will have to participate in the palace selection soon. So, I really can't leave them both to accompany you this time."
"Okay, then you must bring them home more often. I like these two children, Yu'er and Ke'er." Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Min with a smile, her eyes full of kindness.
"Yes, mother, I will bring them to visit you often." Jia Min bowed slightly and answered respectfully. She knew her mother's love for the children and felt very warm in her heart.
"Yes, Yuanyang, quickly take out all the things I carefully prepared for Min'er and the two children, and let Min'er and the others take them." Jia Mu turned her head and looked at Yuanyang beside her and instructed.
"Yes, old lady." Yuanyang replied softly, then turned and walked into the inner room. After a while, she came out holding several exquisite gift boxes. These gift boxes were beautifully packaged, and you could tell at a glance that they contained precious gifts.
Yuanyang handed the gift box to Jia Min, who quickly signaled the maid beside her to take it and thanked her mother: "Thank you, mother, for always caring for us like this."
At this time, Baoyu, who had been playing nearby, heard that the fairy-like beautiful Youyou (Daiyu) was about to leave, and that this sister was his favorite. He could not help but get anxious, and quickly ran to Grandmother Jia, grabbed her clothes and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, can you please keep Sister Lin here? I don't want Sister Lin to leave, I still want Sister Lin to play with me!"
Grandmother Jia gently touched Baoyu's head and patiently explained: "Silly boy, your sister Lin will naturally go back to her own home."
"No, I just don't want Sister Lin to leave. I want to see Sister Lin every day." Baoyu hugged Lady Jia's arm tightly and shook it, looking reluctant.
Dai Ke's eyes widened, and she shouted at Baoyu angrily, "Brother Baoyu, look, you have no shortage of sisters around you! Sister Yingchun is gentle and virtuous, sister Tanchun is smart, and sister Xichun is innocent and lovely. Which one is not worse than my sister? But why do you keep thinking about my sister? Could it be that it is really as I thought, just because my sister is as beautiful as a flower, you have evil thoughts and want to take advantage of her? Humph, I warn you, my sister is a concubine to be selected, and she will enter the palace to serve the emperor in the future. To put it bluntly, my sister is now the emperor's woman, and it is a taboo to have private contact with men outside, even if they are cousins!"
When Baoyu heard this, his face instantly turned red, and he stammered to explain: "I...I really didn't mean that!"
But Deke refused to give up. She put her hands on her hips and continued to scold Baoyu: "Brother Baoyu, if you don't mean this, then what do you mean? As a man, you should have great ambitions and set high goals. You should focus your energy on building achievements. How can you indulge in love all day long? Grandma and others are so indulgent to you, but they are actually harming you! Look at those people of your age outside. Who didn't start studying the Four Books and Five Classics early and study hard in order to get a good name on the list and bring honor to the family in the future. But you are so good, I'm afraid you haven't even been to school for a few days!"
