Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Ma Daopo has a good reputation among the people, otherwise she would not be able to be Jia Baoyu's godmother, and Jia's mother is willing to listen to her about the gods and gods.

Ma Daopo counted with her fingers, and then opened an altar in Jia Baoyu's yard. With one hand, she twisted out two pieces of yellow talisman paper, raised her left hand, and when there was no wind, it instantly turned into ashes. Ma Daopo folded another piece of yellow talisman paper on top , closed his eyes and opened and closed his lips, muttering words, and then said after a while, "Bring a bowl of clear water in a silver bowl."

Xiren hurriedly brought a bowl of water, and Ma Daopo sprayed it on the yellow talisman paper with a "poof" in her mouth. A black little devil's hair bun showed its shape on the yellow talisman paper, and everyone around exclaimed. Voice.

Jia Mu clasped her palms together and recited the sound of Buddha, and said, "Sure enough, a little ghost has collided with me."

Ma Daopo flicked her sleeves, the little ghost rolled up in flames, closed his eyes and said, "The ghost worship has been eliminated, it's just that my life is precious, I'm afraid there are people with fate in the courtyard who attract these things."

Mrs. Wang asked repeatedly, "How do you say that?"

Ma Daopo didn't open her eyes, but kept counting with her fingers, and finally said, "Is there anyone born on Ghost Festival in the East?"

Jia Mu's face turned cold, and if Lin Jinyu was good anywhere, it was just that the time of birth was not auspicious, July [-]th, the day when the gate of hell opened.

Everyone who knew looked at Lin Jinyu, Lin Jinyu frowned and said, "I was born on July [-]th. I live in the courtyard to the east of my second cousin, separated by a wall."

Ma Daopo opened a pair of cloudy eyes, and walked around Lin Jinyu. Lin Jinyu looked self-sufficient, Ma Daopo sighed, "Look at this brother's thin face..." But he stopped talking and said to Jia Mu , "Old lady, I'll go in and recite all the classics for Baoyu."

Mother Jia nodded, and said to Lin Jinyu, "Good boy, it's okay, you can go back and rest first."

Lin Jinyu sneered in her heart, this is her maternal grandmother, and she was afraid that he would follow in and attack Jia Fenghuang!Nodded, turned and left.

……

Sure enough, within an hour, Hu Po came to invite him to Jia Mu's room.

Only Mrs. Jia Muwang was there. Lin Jinyu saluted, with a calm expression on her face, and sat down without speaking.It was Jia's mother who sighed first, touched Lin Jinyu's small face and said, "Poor child, what do you say about this grandmother?"

Mrs. Wang wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in a warm voice, "My nephew is also a well-educated person. You and your second cousin have always been very good. Even in the hearts of the old lady and me, I treat you the same."

"What did the old lady have to say with the second wife? To put it bluntly, what did Ma Ganniang say?"

Mother Jia sighed again, and Mrs. Wang said, "My dear boy, I have to wrong you this time. You have to be tough. You have brought some karma from your previous life. You have to go to the temple for a while to get rid of the karma."

"The second wife made it clear to me, but I don't quite understand it." Lin Jinyu said.

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Ma Daopo is a man with magical powers, forget it for you, you and your cousin have different fates, you have to go to the temple to pray for a hundred days to get rid of the karma, and your cousin will have no worries." gone."

Lin Jinyu smiled coldly, "This kneeling scripture to pray for blessings is mostly juniors, elders praying for blessings. My cousin and I are of the same generation, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate. I'm afraid it's because we live close to each other that it's hindered, so there's no need to be confused." My wife is in trouble, I just move out."

Jia Mu said, "How can I do that? How old are you and where can you live?"

Lin Jinyu smiled lightly, held Jia Mu's hand, and said warmly, "Grandmother, the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. How can I not be considerate and compassionate? Besides, my second brother and I are blood brothers. It's because I make my second brother feel uncomfortable." , I feel even more uneasy? Now I also have a house at home, but my grandmother loves me and took us over to take care of it. Speaking of which, since my father is not here, I am the head of the Lin family, and a man should be the head of the family! Although I live far away I’ll be there in half an hour on horseback. I come here every day to pay my respects to my grandmother, isn’t it the same as now? As for kneeling to pray for blessings, I’m not from Jia’s family, and I have a title bestowed by the Lord Long Live, so please forgive me for not obeying my orders.”

Mother Jia felt guilty, tears glistened in her eyes, Lin Jinyu hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe for Mother Jia, and said with a smile, "If you say that I came here, my grandmother didn't treat me badly at all, and the food is better than at home. That's right. I get along well with my brothers and sisters, not to mention the two uncles, who treat me like my own son. Even if the second wife doesn't mention it, I still have to tell my grandmother that my house is almost finished, and I have a reputation and a title. With the support and guidance of my uncle, I should have set up my own family long ago. It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and I have to offer a stick of incense to my parents for sacrifice. I don’t feel good about my grandmother being so sad?”

Mother Jia wept and said, "It's all useless for me, a bad old woman."

Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "I live in my own home, who can treat me badly? As for my karma, the old lady doesn't have to worry about it. She can't afford a few hundred silver to ask the monks from Xiangguo Temple to recite scriptures for a few days. "

Jia Mu hugged Lin Jinyu and cried for a while, Lin Jinyu said countless good things before she gave up and went back to pack her things.

……

Lin Daiyu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said angrily, "This second wife is so embarrassed to say that she asked you to kneel down to pray for my second cousin! I'm not afraid of ruining his blessing!"

On the contrary, Lin Jinyu felt relieved. Shi Xiangyun had never seen Lin Daiyu get angry before, so he was taken aback, and persuaded, "Sister, calm down."

"My younger brother is the head of my Lin family. He has a reputation and a title. How can I pray for a man with a foreign surname? He is really a knowledgeable wife. I have seen the truth!" Lin Daiyu patted the table, "Liu Yu, Ziyuan, pack up your things, let's go home and live, why bother to be annoying here!"

"Sister, I already told my grandmother to go home, but you have to tell me that your eldest sister is like a mother, and you should go back to take care of my younger brother." Lin Jinyu took a sip of tea with a smile, "We The house is all tidied up. After all, my sister will arrange it in person. If sister Yun doesn’t mind, she will also go play with us for a few days. Anyway, in two days, I will post a post to invite my sisters to enjoy plum blossoms. The sisters will come back together."

Lin Daiyu restrained her anger and said, "What you said is right, sister Yun, wait for me, I'll go pay the old lady well, and I'll be back in a while."

……

Lin Daiyu's reasons are even more justified, who wouldn't cry, say that my brother's fate is hard, drive my brother out, and you'll end up crying, it's easy.Lin Daiyu thought about all the kindness of her grandmother when her mother was there, but they were all false. Letting the people in the house bully their siblings like this, Lin Daiyu felt so sad that she couldn't help herself.

"My son, grandma's heart was broken by you crying." Mother Jia said.

Lin Daiyu sobbed, "I thought I was here to honor my grandmother, but who would have thought that I would offend my second cousin? Although it was unintentional, I am ashamed. Jinyu is only 11 years old, how can I rest assured that he lives alone in such a big house, Furthermore, there must be someone to preside over the inner room, and I am used to doing it when I am at home."

"My parents are gone, just as our siblings are supporting each other, and Jinyu is going to study for the imperial examination, how can I rest assured without someone who is careful by my side." Lin Daiyu wiped her tears, "Grandmother is not far away, so it is convenient to come and go , now I will move back with Jinyu, so that I can take care of him nearby and fulfill my elder sister's responsibility."

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Why do you ask me to tell you, it is a blessing to live in the temple once and feel the Buddha's spirit. You are all young and delicate. If you go out like this, let alone the old lady, I can't rest assured." Madam didn't want to let the siblings go out, but they are both sharp-tongued, good at singing and crying, very difficult to deal with.Mrs. Wang thought of a strategy to divide the enemy, and then came up with a faint trick of kneeling and praying for blessings.Ma Daopo said that as long as Lin Jinyu kneels to pray for blessings, not only will her own karma be eliminated, but it will also bring countless benefits to Jia Baoyu.Because it was about Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother believed it.

Mrs. Wang ignored one thing, but in case of collision, moving it out will work!Of course, he didn't know about the Lin family's house repairs. In the cold winter months, even Jia's relatives' garden was temporarily closed.If you miscalculate this point, you will lose everything.

Lin Daiyu grabbed the handkerchief and stared at her tearful eyes, and said, "Second wife, don't worry about it, my Patriarch of the Lin family wants to kneel down to pray for people with a foreign surname! Don't mention this matter, or you will be a joke to outsiders." Yes! Even if I am young and ignorant, I will definitely not let my brother go to the temple! The second wife is really thinking about my second cousin, and she will also think about us sister and brother with a little compassion!"

Even at the beginning, in Jia's mother's heart, Jinyu Daiyu was only treated as a child, and Jia's mother didn't take the matter of praying too much. Today, when Jinyu and Daiyu mentioned it repeatedly, she realized that it was related, and she frowned. , "Second wife, let's go down and rest, there is no way to talk nonsense every day! Yu'er stay with grandma."

Jia's mother likes Lin Daiyu, from her appearance to her temperament. Besides, she is the granddaughter of a direct relative. Jinyu looks promising, and her family status is also worthy of Baoyu.Since Jia's mother had such thoughts, she didn't want the relationship between Lin Daiyu and Mrs. Wang to be too rigid, so she tried to comfort her with a few words.
