Chapter 23 (6) Marry Sister Bao

Baoyu's marriage to Sister Bao was not of her own volition; although the situation came to an end and she couldn't help herself, she deeply realized the fate of life, the relationship between love and fate, and the separation and reunion of each other, which is not as naive and simple as imagined.He realized: love is a kind of "determinedness", such as the example of the senior official Huaqiang, which cannot be replaced or taken away by anyone else; but fate is very strange and unpredictable, just as Qu Wen sang-" If there is no romance, how will you meet him in this life? If there is romance, how will your heart be empty?" It is difficult to understand, and it is also unbearable.

For Sister Lin and Sister Bao, Baoyu never had the idea of ​​"comparing" or "choosing", that's for sure.As far as Sister Lin is concerned, she was indeed jealous and jealous of Sister Bao at first, but she later proved that she was wrong. It is very clear.From then on, she no longer suspected Baochai, and the relationship between the two was completely different from before.This is the fundamental reason why Baoyu married Baochai after Daiyu died. Moreover, the reason why Baoyu was willing to marry Baochai without hesitation was the result of Daiyu's heartfelt advice.

As for Baochai, she knew that she came to Beijing to be elected.Girls from the Banner family had to be nominated, and those who were elected entered the palace, just like Yuanchun; those who were not selected were allowed to marry in their own families.Moreover, even if those who cannot be selected are allowed to choose marriages outside, there are still official media to arrange blind dates—because what is written in the book is not about ordinary Han people, but the system and customs of the banner family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.There are official media to go on a blind date, and this matter is also clearly stated in the book. For example, Miss Shi of Xiangyun was set by the official media.

Baoyu had to marry Baochai for at least several reasons. The first is that once Tanchun leaves, there is no one who can replace Sister Feng (she is getting seriously ill). Baochai assists Tanchun in managing the family at first as an expedient measure among relatives, but it is difficult to go for a long time, and she cannot become an official young housewife.Therefore, we must quickly consider letting Baoyu finish the marriage, otherwise the vacancy of housekeeping is unimaginable, and it is an important event.At this time, Daiyu was dying of illness, and she knew that there was no hope of recovery. She was devoted to safeguarding Baoyu's life, thinking about it, just like his kind of person, who cannot stand on his own in the world and must get a Baochai. Only then can he be his internal helper, and only in this way is Baoyu's true happiness.So, when she and Baoyu said goodbye to each other for the last time, she signaled to Baoyu: My illness can no longer be cured. Only by getting married and starting a business with Sister Bao can we avoid wandering, freezing and starving...

Baoyu listened to her will with tears in his eyes. Coincidentally, Yuanchun was still there at this time, and Baochai was exempted from the regular election, and Baoyu and Baochai's wedding was hurriedly arranged in advance. With flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, Baoyu faced everything in front of him, as if it were real or unreal, and he was in a dream. It was hard to believe that what happened today and today, it seemed sad and happy, and it was neither sad nor happy. He had never experienced an indescribable feeling. I was churning in my heart, as if I wanted to cry, but there were no tears in my eyes.So long, so long....

When he suddenly looked up, he saw Baochai sitting on the kang with all her makeup on, and under the bright lights, her pink and pink face was full of tears.
