The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 107 Lin Daiyu's "Destiny" - "Reversing the Future"

Lin Daiyu spoke very happily and with a firm attitude, but when it came to actually putting it into practice, she had no idea how to do it.

It is easy to say that one can change one's fate, but is it something that an ordinary little girl can do easily?
After Lin Daiyu said those harsh words, she soon started to act stupidly.

How to save Brother Bao?

Could it be that I should run to Brother Bao and tell him that I will be "insulted" by Brother Rong in the future and stay away from him?
That's clearly looking for a fight!

No matter how good-tempered Brother Bao is, he would definitely be furious if someone suddenly "slandered" him like this.

It can only be said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In Lin Daiyu's eyes, this Brother Bao is the true treasure of the world, pure and kind. Even if something really happened between him and Jia Rong, it must have been a bad thing done by the morally corrupt Jia Rong!

It is definitely impossible that they are in love with each other!

With this premise, all her judgments were completely wrong!
And based on her "understanding" of Brother Bao, even if she told him about the "precognitive dream", Brother Bao would most likely get to the bottom of it.

If I don't tell him, he definitely won't believe it.

But if she told it and was asked about the details, and if the fact that she became the concubine of the Zhan family was also revealed, she would have no face to live!
Or, in the future, someone will keep a close eye on Brother Bao, and once he goes to the East Palace, they will immediately follow him and keep a close eye on him to prevent him from being "flirted" by others?
This is one way, but if you don't worry about thieves stealing, you have to worry about thieves thinking about it. She can't always keep an eye on Brother Bao. Who knows when Brother Bao, this piece of Tang Monk's meat, will be eaten by the shameless Jia Rong.

Daiyu Lin thought about it over and over but couldn't find any good solution. She had no choice but to ask Baochai for advice again.

"Sister Bao, I want to change my fate, but I don't know how to start. Please help me think of a way."

Baochai was surprised and said:

"What's so difficult about this?"

"Now that everyone in the mansion knows about your precognitive dreams, just tell us everything about your dreams in detail. We are not fools and will naturally be able to tell whether what you said is true or false."

"But..." Lin Daiyu was speechless and didn't know how to start.

Baochai was very considerate. When she saw her expression, she knew that she had something to hide, so she smiled and said:

"If there are things that I don't feel comfortable saying, then I won't say them."

"But if you do this, you will be so secretive that others will start to suspect that you are deliberately making up a false precognitive dream to deceive others in order to achieve some purpose, which will greatly reduce your persuasiveness."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she immediately frowned and became worried.

"But there are some things I really can't say. Does sister have any good ideas?"

Although Baochai didn't know how Master Zhan did it, she was a smart person. She had already judged from Master Zhan's instructions that this so-called "predictive dream" was a scam. After pretending to hesitate for a moment, she followed Master Zhan's instructions and said:

"My sister doesn't want to tell you all the contents of her dreams. It's not that there are no other methods, but they are slower to take effect."

Sister Lin was delighted when she heard this and said:

"It's okay to go slowly, please teach me, Sister Bao!"

Baochai said:

"First of all, my sister needs to let people know that some dreams cannot be shared, but some can be shared."

Sister Lin was surprised:

“How do we differentiate between these?”

Baochai then asked:
"Sister, aren't you surprised that since you have such magical powers and know what the future will be like, but you can't tell anyone, otherwise you will be punished by heaven, then what's the difference between that and not knowing anything?"

"God will never do such meaningless things, so God must have a purpose in giving you this magical power!"

(Our master never does meaningless things. If he tries so hard to trick you, he must have some thoughts about your health!)

"I've been thinking about it, sister, you should have a 'destiny'!"

"God probably wants to use your hand to turn the bad things around, turning bad things into good things, and turning nightmares into sweet dreams."

(Marrying my master as a concubine is good, and crawling into my master's bed is a sweet dream!)

"In other words, I want you to 'reverse the future'!"

"But that good dream shouldn't be leaked out. Otherwise, if someone accidentally changes it, wouldn't it make things worse and turn the good dream into a nightmare?"

(For example... a wet dream!)

"Before, Sister Xichun wanted to learn martial arts to change her fate, which was a good thing and a beautiful dream. You shouldn't have leaked it out, so the heavenly punishment happened."

"However, whether this is true or not, I need my sister to try it to know."

After listening to it, Lin Daiyu thought about it carefully and seemed to think it made a lot of sense, but also seemed to think it made some sense.

In the dream, sister Xichun is not only practicing martial arts, but also the concubine of the Zhan family!
Isn't this supposed to be a nightmare?
But she couldn't say this out loud, so she had to keep it in mind and urged Baochai to continue explaining.

Baochai then continued:
"What my sister is worried about is that what she says will be doubted by others, so she should gradually lay the groundwork with things that cannot be doubted, and build up others' trust in you step by step."

"In the dream, there must be a lot of important information that we don't know now. So sister, you just need to tell these things in advance. After others verify it, it can prove that what you said is true."

"It's just like what happened to Sister Xichun before. No one knew she could shoot arrows. Sister Xichun said it in advance, and then after Sister Xichun verified it, everyone naturally believed what Sister said."

"Sister, you only need to do this a few more times, and you will naturally build up everyone's trust. After that, even if you only tell half of the story, others will believe you even if it sounds incredible."

"That's great. Sister can also try it out to see if she will be punished by God if she 'reverses the future' from the nightmare."

Sister Lin suddenly understood what was going on. She jumped up, tightly grasped Baochai's hand, and cried:

"I know what to do!"

She went over the many things in her dream in her mind, eliminated those things that were difficult to say, and then threw away those things that she didn't know whether they could be verified. Finally, after pondering for a while, she felt that the marriage between Baoqin and Mei Hanlin might be something that could be used, so she said goodbye to Baochai and went to Baoqin.

Baoqin was also surprised at Daiyu's visit, but she still greeted her with a smile and invited Lin Daiyu into the room.

"Is Sister Lin feeling better?"

Ever since she learned in her dream that Baoqin did not marry Bao Gege, Lin Daiyu's rejection of Baoqin disappeared. Now, with Baochai's reminder, she plans to change her fate. She feels pity for Baoqin's family who have suffered misfortune, and plans to save her.

After a few polite words, Sister Lin couldn't wait to ask:
"May I ask Sister Baoqin, do you have any old relationship with Hanlin Mei?"

She didn't have the nerve to ask Baoqin directly whether she was going to Beijing to marry into the Mei family. On the one hand, a woman's marriage was decided by her parents, and Baoqin herself might not know. On the other hand, she was also worried that if she said this, Baoqin would misunderstand her and suspect that she was jealous of her brother Bao... Of course, this suspicion was not wrong.

When Baoqin heard Lin Daiyu's words, her heart trembled.

The Xue family's plan was never concealed from Baoqin. Baoqin herself knew her mission and knew that one of the targets was the son of Mei Hanlin.

But this kind of thing has always been kept very secret and outsiders are unaware of it.

But now that it was revealed by Daiyu, Baoqin was immediately shocked.

Combined with the rumor about Daiyu's "predictive dream", Baoqin suddenly felt a little uneasy, so she didn't answer directly, but just smiled and replied:

"My family still has many relatives and old friends in the court, and perhaps the Mei Hanlin family is among them!"

"But I have to ask my father. I don't know anyone from Mei Hanlin's family."

"Why do you ask this, Sister Lin? Is there something you need help from the Mei family?"

"Why not tell me about it? Maybe my family can help."

After hearing this, Sister Lin began to hesitate. If the Xue and Mei families had not yet started discussing marriage, her "precognitive dream" would be impossible to verify, and naturally she would not be able to convince others.

After much hesitation, Sister Lin decided to take a chance and said to Baoqin in a serious tone:
"I have something to ask Mr. Xue Er in person, and I would like to ask Sister Baoqin to introduce me to you."

Seeing Daiyu acting like this, Baoqin became even more nervous. She didn't know what she had seen in her dream, so she stood up and forced a smile, saying:

"I don't care what it is. If Sister Lin is in a hurry, let's go over here."

The two of them walked out of the backyard hand in hand and went to the front.

When they arrived at the front yard, they saw that Master Xue had gone out, leaving Xue Ke alone. Daiyu then repeated what she had just said.

Xue Ke certainly knew that his family was planning to marry into the Mei Hanlin family, but he certainly would not tell the truth, he just smiled and said:
"My father and Mei Hanlin have always been close friends. Why do you ask this, Miss Lin?"

Daiyu sighed after hearing this:
"I had another dream last night. It involved the future of your family, and I was unsure, so I came to confirm it."

After hearing this, Xue Ke smiled and said:
"I have also heard that Miss Lin's precognitive dreams are very accurate, but I have never experienced it myself. Could you tell me the content of this dream?"

Daiyu wanted to use the Xue family to disprove the truth of her words and gain more people's trust. Seeing that he was tight-lipped, she hesitated in her heart. After thinking it over again and again, she gritted her teeth and said:

"I don't know if this dream was a prophetic one, so I want to ask you first, has your family ever intended to have Sister Baoqin be engaged to the young master of the Mei Hanlin family?"

"If so, then my dream might be a prophetic dream. I will tell you what happened next."

"But if not, then it's just a dream created by my imagination, not a precognitive dream, so there's nothing more to say."

After hearing this, Xue Ke thought for a moment and decided not to reveal his plan, so he smiled and said:

"If my sister is engaged, I, as her brother, will definitely know. I have never even met the young master of the Mei Hanlin family, so how could she be engaged to him?"

Daiyu heard this and stood up, bowed and apologized:
"That's my fault. I've brought some nonsense to bother you. I hope Brother Xue can bear with me."

Xue Ke hurriedly returned the greeting and said:
"Miss Lin, what are you talking about!"

"The girl is concerned about my family, so she came to ask about my family. My family is grateful to her, so why would we be surprised?"

"But since we are here, why don't you tell us about your dream? Just treat it as a chat."

Sister Lin was not stupid. Seeing them acting like this, she suspected that they were hiding something. She felt unhappy and shook her head calmly.

"Since your family has never married the young master of the Mei Hanlin family, it is not a premonition dream. What else is there to say?"

"If I tell people about my dream, they will think that I am dissatisfied with your family, so I came up with so many vicious and catastrophic things in my dream and cursed you for no reason. Wouldn't that make people call me vicious?"

Xue Ke was frightened when he heard Daiyu talking about "evil and calamity" and her bad tone. He was afraid that some terrible thing in the "predictive dream" would happen to him. He did not dare to take the initiative and hurriedly smiled and said:
"For marriage, everything is decided by parents and matchmakers. Maybe my father and the Mei family do have this idea. Who knows?"

"Miss Lin, if you are not in a hurry, you may stay here for a while. I will immediately send someone to notify my father to come back. Then we will know whether the two families have this marriage plan or not."

Baoqin also spoke well of the matter and finally managed to keep Daiyu. Xue Ke then hurriedly sent someone to tell his master to come back and take charge.

It was also a "coincidence" that the second master Xue was sitting in the residence of Mei Hanlin at this time. He had just sent the first wave of resource support to Mei Hanlin a few days ago, and now he received a kind response from Mei Hanlin, inviting him to his house for a chat.

Although Hanlin Mei was born in a clean family, he had experienced many ups and downs in the officialdom for many years and was also an old fox. He was intentional and had a lively chat with Master Xue. They got along very well. He invited Master Xue to stay for lunch and the two continued to drink and chat happily at the table.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Master Xue struck while the iron was hot and proposed a meeting between the two children. Mei Hanlin also agreed with a smile. They agreed on a date for the two to meet at a horse club in the suburbs.

Ever since Mr. Zhan set up the Jockey Club, many blind date activities have been moved here.

There is everything here, including food, entertainment, and gifts to buy. This can not only make the blind date less awkward, but also show off the financial resources of both parties. You can even go on group blind dates and pair up freely.

Master Xue was delighted to hear such a clear intention. He was planning to continue having a few drinks with Mei Hanlin when he suddenly received a message from Xue Ke, asking him to return home as soon as possible.

Master Xue Er still has great confidence in Xue Ke's abilities, and he always does things in a measured way.

Xue Ke also knew that he was coming to Mei Hanlin's mansion this time. Under normal circumstances, they would never send someone over at such an important moment. Since they sent someone over, it must be something big that had happened, and he had to go back.

Fortunately, the matter of the two families' children meeting each other had been settled, and other matters were not so important, so Master Xue II simply stood up, apologized and said goodbye.

Mei Hanlin did not try to keep him. After a few polite words, he let him go.

Master Xue Er walked out of the mansion and hurriedly got on the carriage. He called the person who delivered the letter over to ask him about the situation. After learning the situation, he was shocked and hurriedly urged the coachman to return home quickly.

After receiving the order, the coachman whipped the horse hurriedly and drove the carriage back quickly. However, he did not notice that as soon as they left, a sweet potato barbecue stall in front of Mei Hanlin's mansion closed up and quickly went to Zhan's mansion to deliver the news.

This is Mr. Zhan's subordinate, who is specifically responsible for gathering information for Mr. Zhan.

Lin Daiyu's "precognitive dream" was originally made up by Mr. Zhan himself and was all fake.

But if no one can expose the false dream, then it is real!
Relying on his intelligence advantage, Master Zhan can turn this fake dream into an impeccable "real" dream.

For Lin Daiyu, how could she dream at night about what she thought about during the day?

She will dream whatever Master Zhan wants her to dream!

Master Zhan had long known that Master Xue's family was having an affair with Mei Hanlin, so he specially sent people to keep an eye on these two families.

Mr. Xue had visited Hanlin Mei many times before, but he could not stay in the Mei Mansion for long and was always escorted out with courtesy.

It was not until the Xue family provided sufficient resources that Mei Hanlin responded and invited him to his home to drink tea and chat, and then to drink and eat, so he stayed for a long time.

Master Zhan's people don't need to know what they talked about in the mansion. They just need to pay attention to how long Master Xue stayed in the Mei Mansion and then report. Master Zhan will naturally know the progress of Master Xue's plan.

Then, Mr. Zhan could "weave" a dream for Lin Daiyu based on this progress, and let Baochai guide her in reality, which led to the current confrontation between the two.

Poor Lin Daiyu, without realizing it, has been played around by Master Zhan. As long as she continues to "defy fate" like this, she will sooner or later be caught in the hands of Master Zhan in real life.

As for Master Xue, he hurried back to the mansion and went straight to see Sister Lin without even having time to change his clothes.

Xue Ke had asked the messenger to tell him about Sister Lin's attitude in detail. He had already thought about how to respond in the car, so when he saw Sister Lin, he bowed to the ground in front of her and thanked her:

"My son has already told me about this matter. Miss Lin is so kind that she is willing to disclose the secret to my family. No matter what, the Xue family is grateful."

"I won't hide it from Miss Lin. Now Mei Hanlin is indeed interested in bringing his son and his daughter Baoqin together. I am still hesitating and have not yet decided."

"If you know in your dream that this marriage is not right, please let me know, and I will cancel it."

He only acknowledged the engagement between the two families and met the prerequisite that Daiyu explain her dream in detail, but he pushed the initiative to Mei Hanlin, and also said that his family was still hesitating and had not made up their minds, so there was room for advancement and retreat.

Moreover, he did not reveal a single word about his own real plan, and he could change his words accordingly based on Daiyu's subsequent dreams.

How could Sister Lin be a match for this old fox? Now, when she heard that Master Xue II had personally admitted the marriage proposal, she immediately sighed and abandoned any hope in her heart, confirming once again that her dreams could really predict the future.

However, Mei Hanlin said that they had not yet officially engaged, which gave her more confidence in changing her fate.

The things in the dream have not happened yet, which means that her brother Bao is still innocent and there is still time to save him.

After feeling slightly relieved, Lin Daiyu no longer held back and told everyone the news she got in her dream.

"Master Xue, I saw my future sister Baoqin in my dream, and I learned from her that the rumors about the 'Qin Yu match' were spread by the second wife in the mansion, and have nothing to do with the Xue family."

"Sister Baoqin was engaged to the son of Mei Hanlin, but later on, Mei Hanlin's family got into trouble, and the Xue family was implicated and the entire family was executed."

"Sister Baoqin was sold to the Jiaofang Bureau. Fortunately, she was rescued by Lord Zhan Niansi and redeemed to become Lord Zhan's concubine."

When the news came out, everyone in the Xue family was shocked, their faces turned pale, and they trembled all over.

Master Xue couldn't even stand steadily.

Ever since he learned that Daiyu knew about Mei Hanlin, he was about 60% to 70% sure about the authenticity of this "precognitive dream".

After he learned from Daiyu that the rumor about the "Qin and Yu match" was spread by Mrs. Wang and had nothing to do with the Xue family, he believed it about 80% to 90%.

When Daiyu told her that Baoqin was engaged to the son of Mei Hanlin, she basically believed it 100%.

The two families had just decided on a blind date today, and they hadn't met yet, so it was even more impossible for outsiders to know about it. But Daiyu even knew that the two families would be engaged in the future.

So when he heard that his family was robbed and his entire family was executed, he felt like his heart was about to stop beating.

Others don’t know what Mei Hanlin is planning to do, but doesn’t he know?

He wholeheartedly supports Mei Hanlin, isn't it just to send him into the cabinet?
But the struggle within the cabinet is so fierce. If others can't touch Mei Hanlin, can't they kill his supporter?

Obviously, in the future, Mei Hanlin would not be able to protect his family, or would sell his family!
But no matter which one it is, he can no longer have anything to do with the Mei Hanlin family!

Master Xue Er took a deep breath, broke free from Xue Ke's support, bowed to the ground again, and said with tears of gratitude:

"Thanks to the young lady for waking me up, otherwise I'm afraid my Xue family would be dead without a burial place!"

"I will cancel this marriage right away and never have anything to do with the Mei Hanlin family again!"

"I just don't know why the young lady loves my family so much that she would risk heaven's punishment to reveal the secret to us!"

"My family doesn't know how to repay this kind of kindness. If the young lady has any instructions, please speak directly. The Xue family will do its best."

Sister Lin was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out to help him up, and sighed:

"I have been wondering lately why this ability to predict the future has fallen on me, and not on someone else?"

"I was puzzled until Sister Baochai reminded me, and then I suddenly understood."

"This God chose me to awaken this magical power, most likely He also gave me the 'Destiny' at the same time!"

"My 'destiny' is probably to 'reverse the future' and turn all possible nightmares into sweet dreams."

"And this 'destiny' is certainly not given for nothing. God is fair. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, you will be punished."

"The previous punishments were probably because I didn't do well enough."

"So what is good?"

"I don't have any experience or clues right now, so I can only explore little by little."

After careful consideration, Lin Daiyu still did not adopt Baochai's theory that beautiful dreams should not be revealed. After all, she didn't think that being a concubine in the Zhan mansion could be considered a beautiful dream.

She took a deep breath, looked at Master Xue Er, and said seriously:

"I won't hide it from you. I have a nightmare in my heart, and I must reverse it, even if it means I will be punished by God!"

"Now that I have dreamed of your family's nightmare, I might as well try to experiment on your family's dream first."

"Now that I have told you about this tragic future, your family can change this terrible fate. If you can get a good result, I will have more confidence and experience to reverse my own nightmare."

"As for which secrets can be revealed and which cannot be revealed, I can only try them out little by little. If I take more risks, I will eventually be able to figure it out."

"I think since God has given me a 'destiny', it is probably 'God will give a man a great responsibility and make him suffer', but it will not take my life."

After listening to this, Mr. Xue Er suddenly realized and understood Daiyu's logic. His vigilance and gratitude were reduced a lot, but he suddenly had the idea of ​​"rare goods are worth keeping".

When he looked at Daiyu again, he was more and more satisfied. He felt that she was the perfect match for his son and was destined to become the young lady of the Xue family.

It’s just perfect, Sister Qin is paired with Brother Bao, and Brother Xue is paired with Sister Lin, how wonderful!
The beads on Mr. Xue's abacus clattered loudly, but his face remained expressionless. He looked grateful and said to Daiyu:

"No matter what the reason was, my family was saved from disaster because of it. This is a fact that is certain."

"The Xue family is not the kind of ungrateful people. They will never forget the young lady's kindness."

Having said this, Master Xue asked Xue Ke and Bao Qin to bow to Daiyu.

Sister Lin hurriedly stopped them and tried to refrain from doing so, but Master Xue was adamant and finally let the two men bow down.

Sister Lin had a cold personality to begin with, and had never been treated well in the Rongguo Mansion. She felt quite embarrassed by the Xue family's enthusiasm, so she said goodbye in a hurry and left.

After Daiyu left, Mr. Xue told his children:

"This Miss Lin's prophetic dream is indeed an amazing magical power. If it can be used by my family, our family will surely prosper in the future and we will have no worries."

"In the future, you two should go to Miss Lin's place more often and spend more time with her so that she will have a better impression of our family."

"Especially Ke'er, just use all the means you have to woo a woman. If you can marry Miss Lin home, I will count this as a great achievement for you!"

Xue Ke and Bao Qin bowed their heads and accepted the order.

Mr. Xue was also a good man. Now that he had received Miss Lin's favor, he did not hide it. Instead, he asked someone to prepare an expensive gift and a box of silver, totaling ten thousand taels. He sent them to Miss Lin's residence with great fanfare and expressed his gratitude to Daiyu in front of everyone.

After his actions, everyone in the mansion immediately knew that Sister Lin had changed her fate and reversed the future of the Xue family being executed.

All of a sudden, everyone came to visit Lin Daiyu, hoping that she could help see if there would be any disasters in their future. If possible, they would ask her to help save them.

On Mei Hanlin's side, he inexplicably received a message from Mr. Xue Er, which cancelled the blind date between the two families' children and that they would not contact each other again.

Mei Hanlin was shocked, thinking that the Xue family had received some news that was unfavorable to them, which was why they cut ties so decisively. He even abandoned his previous investment and hurriedly contacted the Xue family.

Who would have thought that the Xue family had been fooled by Master Zhan, and they dared not have anything to do with the Mei family anymore. They were determined to sever the connection, and no matter how hard Mei Hanlin tried, they ignored him.

But the more the Xue family behaved in this way, the more enthusiastic Mei Hanlin became. He had to find out what potential crisis was behind it.

The situation between the two families was reversed!
