I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

An Wuxia watched Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai leave, then he took Baoyu and Daiyu and quietly came out of the green gauze cabinet, and tiptoed out of Rong Xi Tang.

An Wuxia said with emotion: "Back then, the Purple Star Sheren Xue Gong was also very capable. Who would have thought that his descendants are now all playboys and cockfighting tycoons?! Back then, he relied on his wealth to support Emperor Gaozu in building his empire. With his talent for business and his connections, he was able to succeed smoothly. It's a pity that his descendants are getting worse and worse with each generation."

These words made Baoyu and Daiyu blush, and they lowered their heads and remained silent for a long time, as if they were lost in deep thought.

After a long while, Lin Daiyu finally said, "It's hard for Baojie. Such an unpromising brother has made the family a mess. I am forced to work so hard to rescue my brother and share my mother's worries. If my father were here, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

Baoyu comforted Daiyu and said, "Duoduo, please stop being sad. This is not something we can change. I think many noble families had difficult start-ups, and their descendants were not enterprising, so it was difficult for them to inherit the family's glory and wealth."

An Wuxia looked at the eight-year-old nobleman in front of him and couldn't help thinking, "He is indeed intelligent and can understand things at once. But you should think about your own family. Your Jia family is not much better."

Lin Daiyu thought of herself and said with tears in her eyes: "My Lin family was originally a noble family, but it has only been passed down for four generations. Although my father was a top scholar, I am alone and have no brothers or sisters to support me. I don't know what the future holds."

Jia Baoyu held her hand tightly, wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry, Duoduo. I will always be with you. You won't be alone."

Lin Daiyu said angrily, "Although you have always treated me well, you forgot about me now that you have Sister Bao."

When Jia Baoyu heard Daiyu say this, he became anxious and angry, his face flushed and he said, "When you say this, I really feel that all my kindness to you has been in vain, and my sincerity has been wasted!" After saying this, two hot tears burst out of his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu joked, "How can a noble young man burst into tears at any time, just like a girl?"

Baoyu choked up and said, "Don't you think about it! Apart from being scolded and beaten by my father, when else have I ever been made to cry by anyone? It's only you, Duoduo, who is so sincere and yet still feels it's not enough!"

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "Don't be angry! I didn't wrong you in vain! Since Sister Bao came, you have been praising her endlessly. Haven't you forgotten about me, your sister?!"

Baoyu was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "Everyone is divided into close and distant relationships, and there are naturally many kinds of friendship. I can't argue with you today." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, An Wuxia stopped them. She held Daiyu's hand with one hand and Baoyu's hand with the other and said, "You two are really born enemies. Why do you always quarrel with each other over trivial matters? You should think about it. If Xue Pan could be self-reliant and make efforts to revive the Xue family's business, why would mother and sister have to beg for help from others? Besides, a real man should protect mother and sister!"

Jia Baoyu sighed and said, "I heard from my mother that this elder brother Xue's father died young, and his aunt spoiled him blindly, which led to his unsuccessful and lawless personality."

An Wuxia smiled and said, "You have a father who disciplines you strictly, but you still don't know how to study hard and just hang out with your sisters. What's more, Aunt Xue is a widow, so of course she loves her only child Miao'er!"

Jia Baoyu blushed and said, "Sister Zhaoxia, please stop making fun of me. I have been studying very hard since your last lecture."

An Wuxia smiled and said, "Now, your Rong and Ning mansions have been in existence for five generations, from your great-grandfather to the present Jia Lan and Jia Rong. But if you think about it carefully, each generation is worse than the previous one. Most of your children and grandchildren are dissolute and corrupt, while few of them are hardworking and motivated. In the end, it is inevitable that they will decline!" After saying that, she glanced at Baoyu with a sidelong glance.

This speech was straightforward and without any mercy, and it was undoubtedly a blow to Baoyu and Daiyu. No one had ever said this to them before.

Baoyu stood there in a daze. After a long silence, he said anxiously, "No, no! We must find a way to change the fact that wealth cannot last for more than three generations! Families of wealth and power, scholars and officials throughout the ages, have all been unable to escape this fate."

Lin Daiyu said: "If you want your family to enjoy prosperity and wealth for generations, you must have talented people who are capable of revitalizing the family."

Baoyu looked at Daiyu and said, "Duoduo is absolutely right!"

An Wuxia said: "The revival of a family depends not only on the prosperity of the population, but also on the careful cultivation of descendants. Moreover, descendants must understand the painstaking efforts of their elders and work hard to achieve success!" After that, she pointed at Baoyu and Daiyu. The two of them lowered their heads in shame, and their faces were as red as the sunset.

Later, Lin Daiyu turned to look at Baoyu and said, "As a man, you must be responsible. I hope you can work hard and realize the ambitions that we girls cannot achieve. This will make people happy!"

Baoyu smiled and said, "Okay! Let's work hard together!"

An Wuxia smiled and said, "It's useless to just shout slogans and make noises without doing anything. We still have to be down-to-earth and work hard!"

Daiyu smiled and joked, "The ancients also heard the cock-crow and danced, chiseled holes in the wall to steal light, used fireflies to reflect the snow, and hung themselves from the beams to prick their legs. I am looking forward to your efforts. Will there be another allusion in the future that will make you famous through the ages?"

Baoyu said seriously: "Don't laugh at me, Duoduo. Civilization can govern a country and military power can rule the world. Civilization and military power complement each other, and only in this way can the country be peaceful. Our Taizu was born a military general and immediately established a family business. I think we, the younger generation, are really ashamed!"

Daiyu immediately stopped smiling when he heard him say this and said, "If you really repent, I will definitely see a change in you from now on! For now, forget about being good at both literature and martial arts. It would be best if you just concentrate on studying!"

An Wuxia smiled and said, "I believe that both of you are smart people, and you are definitely different from other dandy and corrupt people!"

Baoyu and Daiyu looked at each other firmly, then nodded at the same time and held their hands tightly together again.

After that, Baoyu became more diligent and hardworking, and spent less and less time with his sisters. Gradually, everyone knew that Baochai had gone to great lengths to give the painting to save her brother, which deeply moved Baoyu. If a man does not work hard to improve himself, he cannot even protect his closest relatives.

As a result, everyone quietly became more aware of the importance of studying to cultivate one's character and improve one's abilities, and no one was willing to lag behind.
