Raiders of the maid who crossed the Red Mansion

A group of people from Jia's mansion filed into the ancestral hall, lined up in different generations, and offered sacrifices and fruits. Jia's mother offered incense and wine for the first time, followed by Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and his wife led Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Baoyu, and finally Taoist Zhang made the final offering, finished the sacrifice, and prayed to the ancestors, then closed the gate of the ancestral hall and exited, invited Jia Mu and Taoist Zhang, and then returned to the back hall to serve tea and rest.

Jia's mother specially ordered Jia Zheng and his wife, and Baoyu's couple to stay with her, and the rest did as they pleased.

Jia Zheng and Baoyu invited Taoist Zhang to greet her again. Although Baochai is a bride, she is generous and has a certain amount of advance and retreat.

But Baoyu still smiled stupidly, and asked Mrs. Wang or Baochai to point out every move. Jia Zheng saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart.

After the ceremony and greetings, Mother Jia ordered the girl to cover the door, and they sat down to talk.

Daoist Zhang has always been very good at observing words and expressions. Knowing that Jia Mu stayed with him and turned away the idlers, he must have something important to say. Seeing Baoyu like this again, he already understood six or seven points in his heart.

Seeing Jiamu's worried face, he hesitated to speak. He just looked at Baoyu from time to time, and raised his head obediently, and asked, "I heard that my brother has been ill since he lost jade. Is he still not well? "

Sure enough, Mother Jia sighed deeply: "Isn't that the case? The sorcerer didn't know how to invite him. The child is still sometimes clever and sometimes stupid, and rewards have been sent out. There are many scammers who come to the door, but no one sends real jade back. "

When she said this, Baoyu laughed again, and Mrs. Wang's eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Daoist Zhang quickly comforted him: "Old lady, don't be in a hurry, the new grandmother is sensible and blessed at first glance. If she is by her side to take care of her, my brother will be fine."

"I hope it's as good as the old god's words." Jiamu paused, and said to Baochai, "It's very stuffy here. Take Baoyu to breathe."

Baochai didn't ask any more questions, and when she answered yes, she gave Baoyu a gentle push, and the latter was obedient, and followed her out obediently.

The mandarin duck understood, and said without waiting for Mother Jia's order, "I've gone to get some hot tea."

There were only Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife, and Zhang Taoist left in the house.

Daoist Zhang saw that Jiamu had sent Baoyu and his wife away, knowing that something must be wrong, so he sat upright and waited for Jiamu to speak.

Jia's mother glanced over Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and finally fell on Zhang Taoist's face: "Today I invited the old god, besides Baoyu, there is another troublesome thing. There are no outsiders here, so I just said it. Ask the old god to guide the maze."

Taoist Zhang hurriedly resigned: "The old ancestor can be serious. If you have any orders, just order them down."

Mother Jia lowered her head and pondered, as if she was thinking that Zensheng should be more thoughtful, and she said after a long time: "Last night, my granddaughter died..."

This sudden news really shocked Daoshi Zhang: "But Miss Lin, who has always been in poor health since she was a child, came from the south?"

"Who said it wasn't? She died, and the girl Zijuan who had been serving her all this time couldn't bear the grief and threw herself into the lake."

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

Daoist Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Lin said that her luck is a bit low, but she has won the old lady, the master and wife have loved her all these years, and she has such a loyal girl, finally..."

He didn't know what to say to comfort Jiamu for a while, so he sighed regretfully.

"It's not a big deal. What's wrong is that my granddaughter and Zicuckoo came back to life after only half a night of death."

There was only a sound of "Boom", but Taoist Zhang's hands trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground. His face was full of shock, his gray beard couldn't stop shaking, and he couldn't close his mouth in shock.

"Well, it seems that the old god has never seen such a miracle?"

Daoist Zhang regained his composure after a long while: "The world is so big, there are many wonders, and Xiaodao heard about one or two things about resurrection when he was young, but he never saw it himself, so it's hard to say whether it's true or not."

Jia's mother said firmly: "My granddaughter is dead, and I was by my side. Although Zijuan didn't see it in person, the family has tested it, and it should be right!"

Daoist Zhang Nianxu frowned: "In this way, it is really a strange thing. The rumor Xiaodao heard more than ten or twenty years ago was also that an old man came back to life after a day of rest. After that, The house will not be peaceful, some of the juniors will get sick from time to time, or something bad happens..."

Although Jia Zheng knew about Daiyu and Zicuckoo, he believed in the sage of Confucius, and he always "talked nothing about strange powers and confused spirits." Taoist Zhang's words seemed to him even more nonsense, because his mother and wife were bothered by him. I dare not say anything more.

"That's what I'm worried about." Mother Jia slapped the table worriedly, "Girl Lin is my granddaughter, and she has been closest to me since she was a child. If there is something, I don't care about this old bone, but this The size of the whole family, especially Baoyu, who has suffered from strange things..."

Jia's mother's worry was exactly Mrs. Wang's worry, but her worry was added.

The death of the niece was probably related to Baoyu's marriage, and now that she has come back to life, if there is any evil, Baoyu and Baochai will bear the brunt of it!

Daoist Zhang tentatively asked: "What does the old lady mean, but do you want to do a ritual ceremony in the Xiaodao way, cast amulet water, and exorcise evil spirits at Miss Lin's residence?"

"Don't do that." Mother Jia shook her head again and again, "Girl Lin is already very thoughtful, and I'm afraid she will be sad and annoyed when I go to her place to stick amulets. Going out is even more frightening, causing gossip in vain."

Daoist Zhang hurriedly apologized: "Yes, Xiaodao is old and insane, and the old lady is still thinking about it."

"Don't be like this, I'm very confused. I invited the old god here just to ask for an idea. Is it okay for my granddaughter to be a Zijuan? Min'er died early, and only this is left. Flesh and blood, my old life rests on these two jade children." Mother Jia couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.

Her heart was extremely conflicted, Daiyu was resurrected from the dead, she was both happy and afraid, she was always worried about some evil spirit possessing her granddaughter, of course she was not afraid, but if the disaster spread to her family, especially Baoyu, what would happen?

Mrs. Wang is afraid of this level, but as Daiyu's aunt, it is always inconvenient for her to say it in person. Now that Jia Mu has said it, she only looks at Zhang Daoshi with a pair of anxious and hopeful eyes, and counts on him. get an idea.

Daoist Zhang was silent for half a cup of tea, then he stood up suddenly and bowed his head to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng and his wife.

Mother Jia hurriedly ordered Jia Zheng to help him up, and asked: "Why is this old fairy? You are the substitute of the Duke, and the younger generation can't afford it!"

Daoist Zhang insisted and bowed again: "This is Jiamen's family matter. Xiaodao is a monk, so he shouldn't have said anything. It's just that the old lady didn't treat Xiaodao as an outsider when she received the grace of Rong Guogong back then. She said this in person. I have to dig out the words from the bottom of my heart."

"It's okay for the old god to say, I've lost my mind a long time ago." Mother Jia let Taoist Zhang back to his seat.

Daoist Zhang took a sip of tea, calmed himself down a bit, and then said cautiously: "The matter between Miss Lin and her girl is really weird, the way is shallow, and I don't know how to get rid of it. For the sake of the old lady, the old lady , and the thoughtfulness of the brothers and girls in the mansion, Xiaodao dared to have an idea, whether to ask Miss Lin to move to a clean place, on the one hand, to rest with peace of mind, and on the other hand, to avoid it temporarily."

"What, the old god is saying that my niece is not allowed to live in the mansion?" Jia Zheng was startled, unhappily, "Her parents are gone, and if she is a girl, where will she go?"

Jia Zheng was a dignified and dignified person, and he rarely cared for Daiyu's amiable beauty, but after all, she was the orphan of her own sister, and she loved her dearly.

Mrs. Wang pulled Jiazheng's sleeve and persuaded him in a low voice: "Master, don't worry, just listen to the old fairy."

Daoist Zhang said kindly to Jia Zheng: "Second Master loves his niece very much. Xiaodao understands it very well. This is not only for Jia's family and family, but also for the good of Miss Lin. You can find a quiet place in the family temple or nunnery." Let Miss Lin rest in peace, and she can also receive the protection of the gods. After a while, everything will be fine, and it will not be too late to welcome back to the mansion."

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang heard that Taoist Zhang was right, so they couldn't help nodding their heads.

Only Jia Zheng still has concerns: "Although Tiekan Temple is a family temple, it is mostly used as a place for mourning. Shuiyue Temple is a quiet place, but the reputation of the sister-in-law in it is not very good. It is not appropriate for the girl to go to her house."

Mrs. Wang quickly said: "Miaoyu from Changcui'an has always wanted to be with my niece, but after all it is still in the garden..."

Taoist Zhang also said: "It's not that Xiaodao is prevaricating. In Qingxu Temple, most of them are male Taoist priests. Miss Yu Lin is very inconvenient."

This time, Mother Jia also hesitated, and moved Daiyu out of the Grand View Garden. She was already very helpless, so how could she be wronged any more?

The four of them sat facing each other and thought hard, and for a while no one had a good idea. Mother Jia sighed, and was about to discuss this matter later, when Taoist Zhang clapped her hands: "Xiaodao has thought of a very suitable place to go!"

Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and his wife asked in unison, "Where is it?"

"There is a newly built nunnery in the east of the city called Lianhua nunnery. Have you heard of the second master?" Taoist Zhang asked Jia Zheng specifically.

Jia Zheng didn't pay much attention to matters of Buddhism and Taoism, so he thought for a while and shook his head: "No."

Jia Mu also said, "I've never heard of it either."

Daoist Zhang leaned forward with a slightly smug expression on his face, and lowered his voice: "It's not surprising that I haven't heard of it before, but this nunnery was built by the king of Beijing County!"

"Prince of Beijing County?" Jia Zheng couldn't help exclaiming.

"Exactly." Taoist Zhang nodded.

Jia Zheng stayed still for a while, before he let out a slow breath and smiled wryly: "Since Lianhua Temple is the family temple of King Beijing, how can my niece and daughter get there?"

Mother Jia also had the same doubts, and just waited for Taoist Zhang to explain.

"This lotus nunnery was built by the prince of Beijing for the concubine, for the concubine to clean up."

"Qingxiu? Princess Wangfei?"

Daoist Zhang's words made the three members of the Jia family puzzled. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang had met Princess Beijing before, but they felt that she was very kind and did not put on airs. I heard that she was also respectful to Prince Beijing. And there are words about repairing in the nunnery?

"There are many twists and turns here, so it's inconvenient to say more about the path, but the prince specially ordered Xiaodao to find a woman with good temperament and talent to accompany the princess to clean up and relieve boredom. Xiaodao originally thought about it, and invited Master Miaoyu from the mansion. Now Miss Lin is going to Lianhua There is nothing better than An’s rest and recuperation.”

Both Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang's heart were moved by Zhang Taoist's remarks, but Jia Zheng dared not say yes or no easily because of the complicated relationship between the officials of the court and China.

Seeing Jia Zheng still pondering to himself, Taoist Zhang persuaded again: "The King of Beijing County has mentioned Baoyu to Xiaodao several times, and he also likes it very much. If he recommends Miss Lin, the prince and empress will definitely not refuse."

"That's not bad. With the lord's prestige, it's better for my granddaughter to go to rest and rest, so I won't be disturbed, so I'll annoy the old fairy, and ask the lord and empress on her behalf?"

Taoist Zhang naturally agreed, Mother Jia had already agreed, Mrs. Wang was also very happy, Jia Zheng couldn't say anything more.

After Jia's mother urged him in every possible way, Fang was willing to let Taoist priest Zhang leave, and ordered Mrs. Wang to go out to accompany Baoyu, and called Baochai in.

After Baochai bowed to Jiamu, she took her hand, pointed to sit beside her, and looked at her carefully, until Baochai lowered her head a little shyly, and then she heard Jiamu sigh: "Good boy, really I really feel sorry for you."

Baochai only smiled slightly: "What can the old lady say, to win the love of the old lady, the wife, how can I say I am wronged?"

Jia's mother was more impressed and said: "My good boy, I know you are a general, and I will tell you about today's matter."

Seeing that Jia's mother was speaking very seriously, Baochai knew it must be something serious, so she sat sideways and listened solemnly.

Jia's mother asked: "I think you know about your sister Lin and Zijuan?"

Baochai didn't understand Jiamu's intentions, so she only replied vaguely, "I just listen to the girls talking nonsense."

Mother Jia frowned and shook her head: "They're not all talking nonsense, I've never heard of Miss Lin and Zijuan in my life."

In this way, is it true that Daiyu and Zijuan came back to life?Baochai was also secretly frightened, but she dared not show it on her face.

Seeing that Baochai was also silent, Jia Mu patted her palm again to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I only called you here to tell you that Miss Lin and Zicuckoo are no longer staying. Now that you are at home, even if there is something strange, it will not hinder you and Baoyu."

Hearing this, Baochai was shocked.

She knew very well that Daiyu's death must be related to her marriage with Baoyu, so she was shocked and suspicious of the strange incident of her resurrection, but she absolutely could not agree to move Daiyu out of Jia's mansion.

She hesitated for a while, then suddenly stood up, knelt down at Jia Mu's feet, and called out, "Old Ancestor, I, I have something to say!"

Now it was Jia Mu's turn to be surprised, and hurriedly pulled Baochai up: "My good boy, you just have to say something, but don't talk like that."

Baochai lowered her head, pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and tried her best not to let her voice choke: "Sister Lin lost her parents since she was a child, she is also weak and sick, and she has a sad temper, all thanks to the old lady who loves her. I just got married to Baoyu, and I want her to move out. In my heart, I can't make it through..."

Every word of Baochai touched Jiamu's heart, and she couldn't help but feel hot in her eyes.

"Sigh, why would I be willing to give up on Miss Lin, but this incident has already disturbed the people in the house. If there is really something unclean and unknown here, it will not be my love for Miss Lin, but my family? Especially ..."

Jia Mu didn't finish her sentence, but sighed heavily again, Baochai already knew it well.

In Daiyu's heart, although Baoyu is unlucky, I'm afraid she also resents the person who took away her love. If there is any evil between her and Zijuan, it is naturally herself and Baoyu who bear the brunt.

Of course I am not afraid, but in case Baoyu really has a good or bad...

Baochai was terrified in her heart, and it showed on her face unconsciously. When she looked up again, she saw Jia Mu's loving and sorrowful eyes, so she could only shut her mouth and say nothing more.

Jia Mu said again and again: "You know Baoyu's temper, and you must never let him know about it."

Although Baochai said yes, she knew it very well in her heart. Given Baoyu's affection for Daiyu, how long could he keep this matter from him?If there is trouble in the future, I don't know how much effort it will take to appease him.
