Chapter 931 [Ashes of Love: Red Mansion Tribulation 1]
As the day of the catastrophe drew closer, the air seemed to be filled with tension and mystery. Finally, the day finally arrived.
Youyou was dressed in a simple and elegant white dress, with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy descending from the earth. Runyu beside her was dressed in a moon-white robe, as gentle as jade, and graceful. The two walked side by side and came to the reincarnation mirror that emitted a strange light.
Sima Ming, who had been waiting here for a long time, saw them coming and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Emperor, Your Highness, the Book of Fate has been written according to the will of Heaven. After you two enter the Samsara Mirror, the tribulation will officially begin." After that, he handed the Book of Fate in his hand to Youyou.
Youyou took the fate book, flipped through a few pages, and nodded to show her satisfaction. She turned to look at Runyu and said gently, "Runyu, are you ready? We are about to set off."
Runyu looked at Youyou with a firm gaze and replied, "Yes, Master. I am ready, please rest assured." After saying that, he followed closely behind Youyou.
Youyou took a deep breath, jumped without hesitation, and jumped into the Samsara Mirror. Seeing this, Runyu also jumped in without hesitation. At the moment when the two figures disappeared in the Samsara Mirror, the mirror surface glowed with a dazzling light, and then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. However, a journey full of unknowns and challenges has begun...
The Lin Mansion in Gusu City was shrouded in darkness at this time. The surroundings were quiet and dark, with only the sound of gurgling water echoing softly in my ears. Youyou felt that everything was dark before her eyes, and she couldn't help but wonder: Where on earth did this system take me?
Just as she was daydreaming, she suddenly heard a gentle conversation coming from outside. First, a man asked gently, "Madam, did our baby bother you today?"
Then a woman's bell-like laughter sounded: "Husband, don't worry, this child is very well-behaved, he just moved a little bit just now."
The man seemed relieved when he heard this, but he still said, "Baby, you must be obedient and don't make your mother too hard, otherwise when you come out, your father will spank you!"
Hearing this, Youyou suddenly realized that she was actually in her mother's womb! And from the intimate conversation between them, it seemed that her parents in this life had a very deep and loving relationship.
However, when she noticed her father calling her "Ama" and "Er Niang", she started to wonder: Could it be that our family was a bannerman during the Qing Dynasty? Well, never mind, since she was still an unborn baby, it was useless to think about these things, so she should just go to sleep...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is time for delivery. Youyou feels sorry for her mother's pain during childbirth, and wants to help her.
So, when the midwife started to deliver the baby, she seized the opportunity and slid out easily along the narrow birth canal like a nimble little fish.
The midwife was worried that the baby was not crying or making a fuss after being born. So, she raised her hand without hesitation and gently patted the baby's tender butt. This was a big deal! The baby felt a burst of pain and suddenly became furious: How could this person be so bold as to hit the baby?
"Wow——" With a loud cry, Youyou finally couldn't help crying. The cry was so clear and loud that it seemed to shake the whole room.
At this time, the midwife hurriedly picked up the pink blanket that had been prepared long ago and carefully wrapped Youyou up. The blanket was soft and smooth, with exquisite patterns embroidered on it, and it was obvious that it was very valuable. The midwife gently picked up Youyou, walked out of the delivery room with light steps, and came to the man who was anxiously waiting outside the door.
"Master, congratulations! Your wife has given birth to a lovely little brother for you." The midwife said with a smile on her face.
Hearing the news, the man was overjoyed, his face was filled with happiness and excitement. He could not wait to get closer, wanting to see his long-awaited child with his own eyes. When he saw the pink, chubby little face in the blanket, his eyes were full of love and joy.
"Haha, my sweet baby is so handsome!" the man said with a smile, and then asked with concern, "By the way, how is the lady now?"
The midwife quickly replied, "Master, Fu Jin is fine. She just gave birth and is still a little weak. She has fallen asleep now."
Although Youyou was still in the cradle, her big black eyes were curiously staring at the man in front of her. She thought to herself: So this is my father in this life, he looks quite handsome! I wonder what my mother looks like? She must be a stunning beauty. Hehe, judging by this, I will definitely become a stunning beauty when I grow up!
The man nodded and said with relief: "Well, that's good. Hurry up and take good care of the princess. The child cannot stand the cold wind." As he said that, he ordered the servants to hand a silver ingot to the midwife as a reward.
"Thank you, sir!" The midwife took the silver happily and replied, "I'll carry the princess into the house right away." After that, she turned and walked into the room and gently placed Youyou on the bed.
Although Youyou has become a little baby now, she still feels very uncomfortable drinking breast milk from her nurse. Although she feels shy and awkward, she has no choice. So she can only keep giving herself psychological hints: I am just a baby now, and I can only thrive by drinking breast milk! In the first few days, this situation was really unbearable for Youyou, but as time went by, she gradually began to accept this fact.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is Youyou's first birthday. On this day, Lin's mother happily embraced the lovely Youyou and walked into the spacious and bright hall. The hall was already crowded with women from various officials in Gusu City, all of whom came to attend Youyou's first birthday banquet.
After the traditional bathing ceremony, Youyou was gently placed on a soft cloth. The cloth was filled with a variety of dazzling items. Among them were not only small and exquisite bows and arrows, the enlightenment book "Three Character Classic", colorful rouge jewelry, warm and smooth jade, but also various delicious foods, etc. Faced with so many novelties, Youyou's big round eyes were almost overwhelmed.
Mother Lin smiled lovingly and said to Youyou: "Baby, take a look at these things. Is there anything you like?" Hearing her mother's words, Youyou turned her head and observed carefully. After a while, her eyes quickly locked on a whip that was crystal clear and looked like a jade sculpture. Then, the little guy did not hesitate to use his hands and feet to crawl towards the direction of the whip and successfully grasped it tightly in his hands. However, at this moment, Youyou seemed to have discovered an interesting book placed not far away, so she stretched out her other little hand and grabbed the book in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, someone in the crowd shouted, "Congratulations, Master Lin! Your daughter will be proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting to writing poems and couplets. She will also be an extraordinary warrior. She will definitely be a rare talent!"
Hearing this, Father Lin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He humbly responded, "Haha, thank you for the compliment. I just hope that my beloved daughter Daiyu can grow up safely and healthily. That's enough for me."
Hearing this, Lin's mother looked puzzled and asked curiously: "Daiyu? Is this our daughter's name?"
Father Lin smiled and nodded, explaining, "Madam, I have been thinking over and over again in recent days, and finally I think it is very appropriate to name our precious daughter 'Daiyu'. What do you think, Madam?"
Mother Lin nodded slightly to show her agreement and said softly, "Well, this name has a unique charm. 'In the West, there is a stone called Dai, which can be used as ink for drawing eyebrows'. It sounds elegant and unique."
However, at this moment, Youyou, who was standing aside, seemed to be struck by lightning, and was stunned for a moment. She widened her eyes and murmured to herself in disbelief: "Daiyu? My name is Daiyu... and my father in this life is also surnamed Lin? Could it be that... I have traveled to the Red Mansion? No way! Oh my God, you are deliberately trying to kill me! Lin Daiyu in the book has lived a life of dependence since her father passed away. Although she was cared for by Grandmother Jia, she still couldn't escape the trick of fate and ended up with a tragic ending of death. Oh my God, am I going to follow in her footsteps?" Thinking of this, Youyou felt a chill rising from her spine, and her heart was filled with panic and anxiety.
Oh, I must not become like that! I must not let Jia Baoyu fall in love with me! Jia Baoyu is simply a typical person who does not want to make progress. He does nothing all day long and only knows how to hang out with many women. The whole Jia family treats him like a baby, which makes him more and more uninhibited and shameless. As soon as he sees a beautiful girl, he immediately comes forward and calls her "sister" and "sister" non-stop. He really doesn't know how to avoid taboos and be reserved. Since ancient times, it has been said that boys and girls should not sit at the same table after the age of seven, but look at him? He completely disregards these etiquettes and acts recklessly!
In order to avoid living a life of dependence on others, Youyou secretly made up her mind that she must not let her mother die too early, and she must not let her father die too early. Moreover, the huge Lin family business must have a male heir to inherit it. Thinking of this, Youyou felt that she should first take good care of her mother's health and try to add another male heir to the Lin family as soon as possible. By then, she would have a younger brother to rely on, so that the Lin family's business would not fall into the hands of the Jia family.
