Chapter 26 (9) Time is good and jade is not only

Aunt Zhao wanted to kill Baoyu and Sister Feng at ease, and hooked up with Ma Daopo to use evil methods, which almost killed her uncle and sister-in-law. Fortunately, the monk came and pointed out the rescue, so that the disaster was avoided.The monk held the jade in his palm and muttered to it, which restored the magical power of "dispelling evil spirits".As far as the appearance of this jade is concerned, it is the eighth time when Baoyu visited Baochai in Lixiangyuan. When Baochai saw this jade for the first time, it was "as big as a bird's egg, as bright as bright." Xia, bright and moist as crisp, surrounded by five-color patterns."

That scene is worthy of being called a treasure. Unexpectedly, at this point, Xueqin inserted a mocking poem about "descendants".One of the couplets is - "It's good to know that luck is defeated by gold and no color, but it's a pity that time is good." That's right, the brilliance of the divine jade is also like the complexion of a human being, which clearly shows the ups and downs, joys and sorrows.One night, Baochai sighed because she brought up the past when she first saw this jade in Lixiangyuan. She then said: But since I saw that jade that year, I have never seen it again.Show me it too, is it still the same as before?

When Baoyu heard about it, he took the jade off the item and handed it to Baochai. When Baoyu looked up, he saw that it was no longer the black silk thread that Yinger made that year, and the tassels were not the style Daiyu made, only the color was similar.When he took the jade in his palm and looked at it, he couldn't help but groan! "How did it become like this?!" The sound of astonishment made Baoyu take a closer look-he couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise. It was a dull, colorless pebble. Baoyu was also stunned.He could not tell at all what it was about.

Or Baochai asked him: Think about it, has anyone picked jade for you recently? Baoyu bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "Before the attacker left, he told me again and again that no one will take care of this jade for you. From now on, you don't have to pick it off and put it under your pillow every night. Sheyue can't remember it either." , you sleep with it, it is not heavy anyway.Also check from time to time whether the thread is broken, don't lose it unknowingly.I never pick it up to watch it.Only yesterday before worshiping the heaven and the earth, when changing the dress, Aunt Zhao was busy and tried her best to serve her.In order to change my little clothes, she took off the jade for me, but it didn't take long for her to bring it to me.

After hearing this, Baochai didn't say a word for a long time. The two discussed that this matter was strange, but there are many things in the family at present, and the weather is not going well. If it is announced, it will lead to a lot of disasters. It is better to be patient for the time being and slowly investigate and search in secret. Baoyu is a very intelligent person.Earlier he didn't believe that the weight of the eight words "Don't lose and never forget, longevity and prosperity" is very important, and it is very different from Jinsuo, which is made according to the monk's words; until now, he also feels the difference.Baoyu held the ugly and dark stone in his hand, feeling disappointed.If you smash it, people will be shocked.Bringing it, I don't feel very happy.If you lose it, in order to find the real jade in the future, you will have no evidence to check the bad guys who have tampered with it.After tossing and turning, I ran out of ideas.

In addition to silently reading the eight characters on the front, he also thought about the three lines of small characters on the back: "One eliminates evil spirits, two heals wronged diseases, and three knows misfortune and good fortune." Knowing misfortune and good fortune" but not knowing where it should be? He even thought of "Golden Jade Match". However, both gold and jade turned out to be fake. He raised his eyes to look at Baochai again, where he was relaxing there, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.
