As soon as Jia Baoyu left, the atmosphere in the room seemed awkward.
Although he usually talked about Daiyu with Ruan Rong, they seemed to be quite familiar with each other and had been on a boat together for more than half a month.
However, at that time, Lin Daiyu hardly ever left the cabin, so Sun Shaozong's meetings with her could only be counted a few times.
When he thought about it again, they even said no more than ten sentences.
This kind of relationship seemed more awkward than that of a pure stranger. Sun Shaozong didn't know what to say to her for a moment.
Fortunately, Lin Daiyu came to the door on her own initiative today, and she didn’t require him to start the conversation.
So Sun Shaozong looked at Daiyu, waiting to hear what she was going to say.
Daiyu was biting her lips, stirring her handkerchief again and again. After two minutes, her eyes wandered, and she asked, "Brother Sun, I heard you say to Brother Bao a few days ago, ”It might not be your turn to decide,” but I don't know what it means."
On that day, when Sun Shaozong asked Jia Baoyu to deliver the birthday gift, Baoyu thanked him. It was true that Sun Shaozong had vaguely said this, but he unexpectedly told Lin Daiyu.
Daiyu came to the door for this, obviously for the implied meaning.
"Well..."
Sun Shaozong hesitated a little but still spread out his hand and said, "The meaning of that sentence is what you thought it was."
As soon as she said this, Lin Daiyu's face turned pale, and her body shook like duckweed in the wind. The water in her eyes also tended to overflow out of her eyes.
However, Lin Daiyu held back in the end. Although she was a girl who cried easily, she was always a strong one. It would be hard to see her crying, even if she were close to Baoyu.
However, she couldn’t bear it, and when she spoke again, she inevitably had a nasal voice, "I would like to ask... Brother Sun, why did you come to this conclusion?"
The words "A weeping beauty, made people cannot help loving her upon seeing her" were really designed for Lin Daiyu at this time!
Her low voice trembled slightly and seemed to be as straight as the heart. It made people feel that it would be a heinous crime to let the tears fall!
But at the same time, he was also vaguely expecting the tears to fall immediately so that he could take the opportunity to appreciate her beautiful face!
No!
This is not the time to enjoy the beauty!
Cough!
Sun Shaozong cleared his throat, reluctantly pulled his attention back to normal, and said calmly, "I know that you probably have some speculation in your mind, such as ”I am helpless and alone.” Although this idea can't be considered wrong, the main reason is not that!"
"This is not the reason?"
Lin Daiyu looked up in surprise. It was clear that Sun Shaozong's statement was still somewhat unexpected.
Fall! Fall! Hurry and make the tears fall!
it was a pity that her expression and eyes had changed now, and he missed the golden time and failed to reflect her most perfect temperament of being sick and charming.
Sun Shaozong thought with regret, but on his face, he said solemnly, "Yes, in fact, with the current situation of Rongguo Mansion, there is Minister Wang outside and Imperial Concubine Xiande on the inside. There is no need to find any powerful in-laws."
"In particular, Brother Bao's weak... Cough If he were to marry a powerful noble lady, he would be controlled by his in-laws with his temperament of pitying girls."
"If it is the son of an ordinary local wealthy family, it will be nothing if he is controlled by the in-laws, but if it is put on Brother Bao, it may involve the struggle for power and profit in the court."
"Therefore, the family will not object to Brother Bao marrying a low or normal lady. On the contrary, they may be happy to see it succeed."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, her heart was filled with joy. What she was most worried about was that her parents were dead and helpless, which would affect the outcome with Jia Baoyu.
At present, Sun Shaozong said with confidence that these points might not be a disadvantage but an advantage for her. The weight in her chest has disappeared by half.
It was just that…
Since Sun Shaozong believed that the biggest defect was not an obstacle, how could he not be optimistic about the future of herself and Baoyu?
"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 a problem!"
"My body?"
Lin Daiyu was a smart person. Hearing this, she immediately remembered that the quality and quantity of the supplements that Ruan Rong has sent in recent months were significantly higher than before. She also specifically told her in the letter that she must get good exercise…
She then suddenly said, "You mean because I am weak and sick, so..."
"That's right."
Sun Shaozong put his hands together and said, "Since we don't consider the influence of the family, health has become one of the most important standards."
"But..."
Daiyu couldn’t help protesting, "But Sister Xue also had some issues with her body since in the womb. But she’s able to... she’s able to... Besides, my body is much better now than before. I haven't coughed much since the beginning of spring this year!"
After all, she identified her "rival in love."
However, Xue Baochai was also a sick girl, which was somewhat unexpected to Sun Shaozong.
He scratched his head and stammered, "In fact, by saying health, I don’t only mean being healthy, but also other..."
"What else?"
No matter how clever Lin Daiyu was, how could she know the truth? She stared into his eyes and waited for Sun Shaozong to announce the answer.
it was really hard to mention this to a little girl!
Sun Shaozong clenched his teeth, he simply went out of his way. His two hands were drawing in the middle of the air and drew a nasty gourd shape…
Lin Daiyu finally came to a sudden understanding. Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, You-Shi, and Qin Keqing flashed in her mind and finally fixed on Xue Baochai.
After comparing these people one by one, she gradually lost the look in her eyes and murmured, "No wonder, no wonder they all said she was Imperial Concubine Yang..."
Clatter!
At that moment, the curtain of the door suddenly rose high, and Jia Baoyu rushed in from the outside, grabbed Lin Daiyu's arm, and shouted, "No matter whether she is Imperial Concubine Yang or not, I'm not Emperor Tang!"
"You know what I'm thinking! If my parents really want to force me to marry her for whatever reason, I'd rather go to the temple to become a monk and let the others inherit the family business!"
Lin Daiyu was full of fear and suddenly heard his voice. Her frozen heart melted in half, but she refused to show it. "Who allowed you to eavesdrop outside? Besides, if you were a monk, wouldn't you build another Shuiyue Nunnery so that you could put all your affectionate sisters in it!"
Jia Baoyu smiled. "If I want to build, I will build another Longcui Temple. Then you will be like Sister Miaoyu, like an angel. Even if I can only be a wooden fish and be beaten thousands of times by you every day, I am happy to do so!"
