Chapter 26 This is the best arrangement from heaven!
The spring breeze of March has turned the grass and trees green. The desolate season has passed, and on the branches of the flowering tree in front of me, a few leaves are eagerly growing, showing their vitality.
Jia Huan's deep pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze fixed on a few newly sprouted leaves. The leaves snapped in mid-air and, before they could fall, transformed into glittering golden leaves, their tender edges turning sharp.
With a flick of his sleeve, the golden leaf flew swiftly like the wind, heading straight for the monk and the Taoist.
It made a "whoosh" sound as it cut through the air.
The monk and the Taoist priest quickly dodged to the left and right, avoiding the gold leaves: "Young master, what are you doing...?"
Having missed, Jin Yezi simply turned her head and continued attacking the two, interrupting their conversation. They quickly dodged again.
No matter how they tried to hide, Jin Yezi followed them relentlessly, showing no sign of giving up until she achieved her goal.
Helpless, the Taoist priest flicked his whisk and knocked the gold leaf away, saying, "Why bother with this!"
Jia Huan looked terrible, and his brain felt like it was being pricked with needles.
Just now, he used his mind to break off the leaves and turned them into golden leaves with his golden finger. He then controlled them to chase after the monk and the Taoist. The Taoist appeared to be knocking down the golden leaves with his whisk, but in reality, he was hitting his mind. Months of hard work were ruined in an instant.
“We don’t know where you came from, why you came here, or how to send you back. Your arrival here is purely accidental. Just go with the flow, calm your mind, and who knows if you can’t go back in the future?” The monk also lost his smile.
Jia Huan, leaning against the artificial hill and enduring the pain in his head, said, "Aren't you afraid I'll destroy this place if you leave me here?"
His mental power can be enhanced, and when it reaches a certain level, he can manipulate all things.
The people in this world are all ordinary people. The power of thought is like a dimensional reduction attack to them. It might be an exaggeration to say that he could destroy this world, but destroying this country is no problem.
The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "I have cultivated for many years and have acquired some skills in observing people. I see that the young master has clear eyes and a calm demeanor. He must be honest and upright, not like a villain. Besides, if you were really a heinous villain, Heaven would have already punished you. How could you have survived until now?"
“Benefactor, everything in this world has its own cause and effect. You just need to search carefully and wait patiently, and you will eventually find your way home.” The monk also resumed his cheerful demeanor: “This world is very beautiful. Enjoy the scenery on your way home; it will be a wonderful thing.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan hesitated and said, "What if I still can't find my way home after this body dies?"
The monk carefully examined him from head to toe: "Benefactor, your spirit is strong; you will likely see many different landscapes in the future."
Many different landscapes?
What does it mean?
Seeing that he remained silent, the monk continued, "Although you may be confused now, you should know that everything is the best arrangement by God!"
Everything is the best arrangement from God!
Jia Huan was stunned, his mind filled with all sorts of thoughts. By the time he came to his senses, the two had already vanished without a trace.
······
The somber atmosphere in the Jia family mansion was restored to its former cheerful and lively state after Jia Baoyu recovered from his illness.
After Jia Baoyu recovered from his illness, he immediately moved back to the Grand View Garden to play with his sisters.
Although Jia Zheng, who originally wanted to teach him to study and make progress, had some reservations, he couldn't bear to be too harsh on him because he had almost lost his beloved son before, so he decided to let him play for a few more months.
After Jia Baoyu fell ill, his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Lady Wang, became even more doting on him than before, which greatly displeased Aunt Zhao. She cursed him under the covers in her room for several days, breaking countless pillows in the process.
After his conversation with the monk and the Taoist priest, Jia Huan felt much more at ease. Most of what they said was nonsense, but he did take a couple of things to heart.
The first sentence is: Since we're here, let's make the best of it!
The second sentence is: All of this is the best arrangement from God!
Although these two sentences were equally useless, they offered him some comfort.
And most importantly, he now has two people to talk to.
The Jia family didn't want to pay him any attention, and he didn't want to have too much to do with them. His servants were, after all, servants. He preferred to cultivate a dignified image in their minds rather than appear gentle and magnanimous in front of them. The Jia family's servants were used to taking advantage of his kindness, and if he yielded even a little, they would immediately revert to their previous arrogant ways.
With the monk and the Taoist priest by his side, whenever he felt bored and wanted to chat, he would go to the Grand View Garden to find Jia Baoyu, secretly using his mind to strike the jade pendant. Soon the two of them would arrive, and then they would chat about a bunch of random things before leaving.
Jia Huan found this method of communication quite convenient, so the monk and the Taoist priest tried to stop him many times, but he ignored them and continued to do as he pleased.
Perhaps because his emotions were released, time passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was August. Jia Zheng's plan to start teaching Jia Baoyu was once again thwarted.
Because the emperor had appointed him as a school inspector, he wouldn't be able to return for at least three or four years.
So after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and other members of the Jia family saw Jia Zheng off on the 20th of August.
After Jia Zheng left, Jia Baoyu, relying on the doting love of his mother and daughter-in-law, became even more willful and unrestrained in the garden every day. At first, he would still mutter a few words about Jin Chuan and Xi Ren, but gradually he put them out of his mind.
That day, Lady Wang misunderstood that Jin Chuan had seduced Bao Yu. In a fit of anger, she had Jin Chuan beaten with twenty strokes of the cane and was about to be sold off. However, Jin Chuan was strong-willed and refused to leave the mansion. In the end, she jumped into a well and lost her life.
At the time, Jia Baoyu was seriously ill, and no one in the mansion cared about the matter. They compensated his mother with some money and gave his younger sister Yuchuan double her monthly allowance, and that was the end of it.
Although Jia Baoyu was a sentimental young man, he hadn't seen them for a long time, and Jin Chuan was dead, while Xi Ren and the others had all been married. He had liked them before, but as time went by, he gradually forgot about them. Besides, the Grand View Garden was full of girls.
I heard that a few days ago he had formed a Begonia Poetry Club with several young ladies in the garden, writing poems and painting, having a great time. Upon hearing the news, Shi Xiangyun was also invited by Grandmother Jia to visit, and they subsequently held another chrysanthemum poetry gathering.
As the initiator of the poetry club, Jia Tanchun never even thought to invite her younger brother, Jia Huan.
Apart from Aunt Zhao who would occasionally come over, everyone else in the Jia household tacitly ignored Jia Huan. Jia Huan was happy with this, spending his days reading, making tea, playing chess, and playing the zither to cultivate his mind. Because no one paid attention to him, he could often go out for a stroll through the side door.
