Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 13: Monks also have internal conflicts

But if you think about it, you will realize that Old Lady Jia is not someone who can be easily persuaded. It is not so easy for Daiyu to move out.

There is still a lot of tension between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law!

Soon the maids of the Jia family discovered that the Lin family members were becoming more and more secluded. Except for coming out to get food, they basically stayed in the cabin on the second floor of the deck and rarely showed up.

There were also maids who wanted to go upstairs to find out the news, but before they reached the second floor, they were stopped by the maid guarding the stairs.

If they met the two girls, Zijuan and Qinghe, they would persuade the old woman to go back with kind words;

If you meet a green ivy, even if it speaks harshly, you can still tolerate it;

But if you meet Lan Rui, you will be in trouble, as you will definitely be scared by her clenched fist.

"Sister Zhang, what do you think they are doing?" Several old women returned empty-handed and got nothing good.

Aren't they all gathered here with Nanny Zhang to ask her for advice?

Nanny Zhang sneered and threw another peanut into her mouth: "I guess it's that sick girl again, and she's still hiding it. When they get to the mansion, the old lady will ask the imperial physician to come. Can she still keep it a secret? Don't worry about them. I understand now. This trip is in vain."

She looked around at the maids who followed her and said, "Just treat these few years as a time to relax and don't think about the reward. Don't come too close to serve them, I think they can do a good job!"

"Yes!"

After that, every time she passed through a city, Daiyu would stay for two days and ask the famous doctor in the city to come and check her pulse. There was nothing serious, just a stomach upset, most likely due to seasickness.

But in the eyes of Aunt Zhang, the matter was not that simple. She felt that Lin Daiyu must have colluded with these doctors to cover up something. Otherwise, why did she look so sick, but it was just a spleen and stomach problem, was she lying?

Nanny Zhang said nothing, and the other maids in the Jia family did not dare to make trouble. Daiyu even gave them two more monthly payments when their money was almost gone.

Now, Daiyu again proposed to offer perpetual lamps and perform rituals for Jia Min at the Xingguo Temple in Jinan Prefecture. Nanny Zhang and the others all had a blank expression on their faces and did not object.

Maybe it was because she had collected many Buddhist scriptures in Longhua Temple before. This time in the Sutra Library of Xingguo Temple, Daiyu got much fewer points, but still a few hundred points.

Daiyu has been able to accept this calmly. Now she has begun to plan where to go in the future so that she can earn a large amount of points at once, just like she did in Longhua Temple before.

"Miss, next time you can ask the abbot for a small stool to sit on. Your knees are all purple from kneeling." Nanny Wang rubbed the medicinal wine on Daiyu with concern. She bought the medicinal wine from the monk in charge.

"It's okay. This is what I should do as a daughter. By the way, Nanny Wang, I have something else I want you to do."

Daiyu has been studying meridian maps these days and has not attended the "Dream of Red Mansions" course for several days. Now she has learned two more lessons and thinks of the sisters in the Jia family who have gold and jade on their bodies.

Before, she suddenly went to the capital, and during the period of mourning, she didn't bring much jewelry with her. Now she thought that she had to buy some jewelry. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if the enemy asked her about it and found out that she had nothing.

"Madame Wang, when I perform the ritual, I will ask the maids to accompany me. Please help me buy some golden locks, golden unicorns, etc."

"Miss, why do you suddenly want to buy these things?" Nanny Wang paused. In the past, Lin Daiyu disliked these gold jewelry the most.

Daiyu made up a story: "Of course I like jade the most. But if I meet someone who doesn't know the value of jade, he will think that jade is just a beautiful stone! But the golden lock and golden unicorn are different. I must find an old craftsman to make them. The more exquisite the better. Ma'am, don't worry about the silver. Daddy has given me a lot!"

As she spoke, she took out a money box from under the quilt, which was actually a storage box, and took out two silver notes worth one thousand taels from it and handed them to Nanny Wang.

"Why do we need so much?" Nanny Wang refused again and again.

"Listen to me, mother. Most people in this world respect Luo Shang before respecting others. Just look at the look on Madam Zhang's face and you'll know what kind of people are around my second aunt. If you back down, they will bully you. Madam, you have to help me!"

"Hey hey!"

Seeing Nanny Wang stuffing the banknotes into her arms, Daiyu's face broke into a bright smile.

In fact, Daiyu's face is very similar to Jiamin's, but she always frowned and looked sad, which made her look even paler and weaker.

Such a brilliant smile even stunned Nanny Wang.

After completing another in-class quiz in the meridians class, as expected, Daiyu got extra points this time.

These days she has figured out the trick to get extra points: after taking a class, you can only get points once, and you won't get extra points if you do it repeatedly, but you can use it to review. After you are fully prepared, you can easily get extra points by taking the final quiz.

The only drawback is that it's a bit expensive.

Daiyu took back a piece of beautiful jade from the altar, bowed to the abbot, and prepared to go back to her room to rest.

But when she heard the abbot's words, she almost dug her toes into the ground and dug out a second courtyard.

"Mr. Lin is indeed very intelligent. Even when he fell asleep, he never stopped reciting the sutras, and they were in Sanskrit. I am ashamed of myself! I have been the abbot for many years, but none of my disciples can be like Mr. Lin, who is always thinking about the Buddha even in his dreams." The abbot decided to publicize Mr. Lin's piety during the morning class tomorrow, so that the disciples in the temple can learn from him. If there are one or two of them who are as spiritual as Daiyu, he might even take them to the Zen Conference ten years later.

Obviously the abbot was praising Daiyu sincerely, but she felt guilty inside. This was a habit she developed when she was working part-time.

She took a part-time job as a night shift worker in a parking lot. Originally, it was not her turn, but she had skills as a boxing coach, so the mall made an exception and hired her.

But the shopping mall is also very cruel. They will check the surveillance in the duty room from time to time, and if they find her sleeping, they will deduct money.

Daiyu didn't expect that after so long, her old habits were still deeply rooted.

"Thank you for your compliment, Abbot!" After paying her respects, Daiyu quickly left, pulling Lan Rui aside.

Lan Rui barely kept up with Daiyu's pace and asked in confusion: "Miss, what's wrong with you? No one is chasing you!"

When they returned to the courtyard, the maids came up to them and found that Daiyu had an extra beautiful jade around her waist.

In terms of appearance alone, this piece of jade is not inferior to the best white jade. However, this piece of jade is not originally owned by Daiyu, but a treasure of the cultivation world that she exchanged from the system.

A set of four pieces, including a pair of earrings, a bracelet, a ring, and this jade pendant.

The function is also very simple, it can resist one attack. But after use, it will turn into an ordinary jade pendant and lose all its spirituality.
