Finally, on the third day, Jia Baoyu took the time to visit the sick Xue Baochai. The Xue family had just moved near the Jia family, and the two families were not yet familiar with each other, which was one of the reasons why Jia Baoyu had delayed his visit. When he arrived at the Xue family to visit, Ying'er did not pour tea, which surprised Jia Baoyu a little. However, a remark made by Ying'er surprised him even more: "I heard these two sentences, and they seem to be a pair with the sentences on the girl's necklace."
This remark reminded Jia Baoyu of Xue Baochai's golden locket, as he had once seen the Jade Spirit, which contained an image of the golden locket. Jia Baoyu was also aware of the concept of "Golden-Jade Marriage," and this remark caught his attention.
At this point, some people began to speculate on the reason why Ying'er had spoken like this. Some believed that it was at the instruction of Xue Yi, as she had always emphasized that Xue Baochai's gold needed to be matched with jade, promoting the idea of "Golden-Jade Marriage." Ying'er, being a member of the Xue family, could help convey this message without affecting the family's dignity.
There may have been other factors that influenced Ying'er's remarks. She could have been fulfilling a task while Jia Baoyu was visiting Xue Baochai, and also drawing his attention to the "Golden-Jade Marriage" to guide him to learn more about Xue Baochai.
However, Ying'er's task seemed to be unfinished, as she wanted to continue telling the story of the Bald Monk's prediction of the Golden-Jade Marriage. This was too awkward for Xue Baochai, who interrupted Ying'er and chased her away with an angry look.
Regardless of whether this task was arranged by the author or Xue Yi, Ying'er successfully fulfilled it. This episode also reflects the social attitudes and perspectives towards marriage and conjugal relationships at that time.
