Dream of Red Mansions: Hydrating Crimson Pearl

.

No.14 Back to Jia Mu angrily reprimanded Mrs. Wang

Seeing a pretty girl standing by the street, Daiyu was really pitiful, so she asked Yuanchun to take a closer look.After Yuan Chun looked at it, he sighed long and said, "People say, 'Your beauty is so unlucky'. This is another woman who can't control her own destiny. Pity her at such a young age."

Daiyu said: "Sister, are her parents willing to let her sing on the street?"

Yuan Chun said: "If it's the biological parents, how could they be so cruel? Look at the man behind him, he looks complacent and wants to use this girl as a cash cow. How can he have any compassion for her?"

Daiyu said: "Then what about the girl's parents? Are you going to let her go?"

Yuan Chun said: "I think this girl probably has no father or mother. Otherwise, how could such a pretty girl end up here?"

When Daiyu heard this, she suddenly felt compassion, and said, "It turns out that children without father and mother are so pitiful. Sister, why don't we rescue her?"

Yuan Chun smiled wryly and said: "Silly sister, you and I are just girls in the boudoir, and we can't control our own affairs, so how can we have the energy to save her?"

Daiyu said: "As long as you have the heart, it's not difficult. I'll go to the old lady and ask the old lady to pay for her to redeem her. Besides, I have money myself, so I don't need to bother the old lady!" , and called the coachman to stop quickly.

Yuan Chun didn't expect Daiyu to be so forthright and straightforward in doing things at such a young age, and to be so enthusiastic about people, so he was really moved by her, so he followed Daiyu to get out of the car.

In front of Daiyu's car is Mrs. Wang's car, ahead is Mrs. Xing's car, and then there is Jia Mu's car. Seeing Yuan Chun and Daiyu getting off the car, Mrs. Wang couldn't help shouting angrily: "Young lady, how can you do this without authorization?" Get out of the car? Why don’t you go back to the car?”

Yuan Chun blushed immediately after being scolded by Mrs. Wang, so he had no choice but to turn around and go back to the car.Daiyu ignored Mrs. Wang's scolding, she glanced at her calmly and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, Daiyu will take care of herself, the old lady has something important to say to me." The mother's car went.Mrs. Wang never expected that Daiyu would be so assertive. For a while, she was only secretly lucky and had nothing to say.

Daiyu went to Jiamu's car, and the old mother standing under the car hurriedly opened the car curtain for Daiyu. When Daiyu got into the car, she told Jiamu directly about her visit.Jia's mother said: "Our Jia family didn't buy people randomly, but it's rare that you have a compassionate heart at such a young age. This is also the fate between you and her. Well, I'll let Madam Cui go and have a look. As expected, she looks tidy, so it's okay to buy her and be a girl with you." After finishing speaking, he called Madam Cui to inquire.

After a while, Nanny Cui trotted over and replied, "The man said he wouldn't sell it. How could he buy or sell it if he said it was his own daughter?"

Jia's mother said: "That's all we have to do. Our Jia family has never done anything to bully others. Since they don't want to, Daiyu, I think let it go."

When Daiyu heard this, she felt a little lost.The carriage moved forward slowly, and the girl's mournful singing was still lingering in my ears, the sounds made people's hearts unbearable, but there was nothing they could do about it.

After about another meal, we arrived at the foot of a lush green hill. Qingjue Temple was built halfway up the hill.Therefore, there have been eminent monks who have attained the Tao in the temple, and they have taken over the holy car, so the incense is strong, and it is also a place where dignitaries and dignitaries often come to make vows and fulfill vows.There is also an endless stream of pilgrims going up and down the mountain today.

At this moment, Jia's mother got out of the car, and Jia Zheng also got out of the car to ask his mother's instructions, and asked if the idlers should go out of the temple first, and then let them go up the mountain after the family's worship.

When Jia's mother heard this, she became a little annoyed, and said: "What kind of stupid words are you talking about? Is it possible that people in our Jia family are more noble than others? Can we worship Bodhisattvas, but others can't? The holy place of Buddhism, How dare you think of doing deceitful things? It’s a waste of your father’s teaching, you must know that if you do unrighteousness, you will kill yourself, our family has a great career, and we must pay more attention to virtue, how can we bully others?”

Seeing that his mother was so angry, Jia Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to caress her chest and beat her back, and said repeatedly: "Mother, don't be so angry, it's all the son's fault. I'm afraid that mother will be tired after waiting for a long time. When I thought of this, I hope that my mother will take care of her own body, and don't be as knowledgeable as her son. My son will find a bearer and let you go up in a small sedan chair." Only then did Jia's mother feel a little relieved, and said, "Worshiping Buddha is expensive. Sincerely, wouldn’t it be insincere if you still have to take a sedan chair at the foot of the mountain? Today, I’ll take a walk as a car, and let the children come down too. Walking on the not steep mountain road can relax your muscles and bones.

At that time, everyone got out of the car and stood around Jia Mu. Jia Mu said to everyone, "Let's walk this mountain road today and cultivate our temperament!" No one objected, only Mrs. Wang sighed: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law feels that this is absolutely inappropriate. Look at the many idle people coming and going here. It's not for fun to bump into you. Besides, you are a majestic madam, and I am also a third-rank man in the court." Ma'am, if you walk up the mountain like this, won't you lose your identity and be ridiculed by others?"

After hearing this, Jia's mother said angrily: "It's unreasonable. Where did you come from? You are still a lady. The emperor worships Buddha and walks up the mountain devoutly! Is it possible that you are more noble than the queen, but a third-rank lady is just a lady. Fortunately, you can't find Bei? Your body is precious, we all go up, you sit in the sedan chair!" Then he said to Jia Zheng: "This is the good wife you have trained!"

Jia Zheng shouted angrily: "Don't just stay by the side, just gossip here! Why do you get more and more confused as you get older?"

Mrs. Wang has been the housekeeper in the mansion for these years, and she is used to bossing her around. Usually, Mother Jia doesn't care about housework, so there is little friction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She scolded her, even her husband didn't care about her own face, and she was taught a lesson in front of the servants and juniors, she was so ashamed that she couldn't bear it, and wished that there was no crack in the floor for her to slip in.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't say anything, because they saw that Jia's mother had already walked up the mountain, so they all followed, leaving only Mrs. Wang standing there alone, neither walking nor standing there in embarrassment. There.A ball of resentment rose up in her heart, and she was so angry that her internal organs ached.After all, Yuan Chun was her own daughter, and she couldn't bear to see her, so she walked over quietly, took her mother's hand and followed the crowd, walking slowly up the mountain. (My dear friends, do you feel relieved to punish Mrs. Wang like this?)

No.15 Reply Stepping into a Charming Land

Everyone walked up the mountain road with Jia's mother. When the pilgrims around saw such a group of richly dressed and elegantly dressed people, they couldn't help but stop to watch. Discussed quietly beside him: "Where did this nobleman come from? It's really extraordinary."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help muttering angrily when she heard the words: "Just say it, can't you go up the mountain like this! Why don't you listen, let's see people gossiping for no reason now!"

Yuan Chun hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, don't say such things. If the old lady hears this, she won't want to see you again. You'd better stay calm and not be impatient."

Madam Wang helplessly stared at Mother Jia in front of her, and resentfully said nothing.

When Daiyu was at home, she also went to the temple with her mother to offer incense on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, but this was the first time she had seen such a grand temple as Qingjue Temple, so she looked around, which was not new.At this time, Baoyu leaned over to Daiyu and said, "Sister, do you think this place is good?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Of course, the building is majestic and the scenery is beautiful. The monks who chant scriptures here are also very lucky."

Baoyu said: "I have been here twice. I know that there is an excellent place in the back mountain of the temple. It is the most interesting place. After the ceremony of worshiping Buddha, I will take my sister for a stroll."

Daiyu nodded with a smile.He thought to himself: "I'm afraid that if I am willing, your mother may not be willing either. I'd better stay away from you, everyone is cheap."

After about half a cup of tea, I arrived in front of the gate of the temple. A young servant had already reported it. The abbot naturally dared not neglect when he heard that, and brought a group of monks to greet him respectfully outside the gate of the temple.

Mother Jia came forward and saluted humbly: "The old lady is very polite!"

The abbot hastily returned the gift and said: "I ordered my wife to come to this temple. I have never greeted you from afar. I also hope that my wife will make amends!"

Jia Mu said: "Don't be like this, master. The holy place of Buddhism is naturally the Buddha. The master is so polite, but he killed the old woman!"

Support smiled and said: "The old lady is still so energetic, and she is getting tougher!

Jia Mu said: "Aren't they all freed from the blessings of the Bodhisattvas?" After finishing speaking, the abbot led Jia Mu into the main hall, and kowtowed to several Bodhisattvas one by one according to the ritual of Buddhism. After prostrating and bowing, the abbot said: "The poor monk has tidied up a few fasting rooms, and please invite the old lady and all the lords, wives, and ladies to rest in the room for a while!It was almost noon, and the poor monk had already ordered his disciples to prepare vegetarian food for the monk. "

Jia Mu said: "I have heard that the Su Zhai of Qingjue Temple is first-class in the world. I will learn from it today. I will not be polite to you, but Master Wanwang will accept the incense money." He walked over holding a velvet tray, which contained golden gold ingots, about five or sixty taels.

The abbot smiled and said: "Mrs. Jia is so kind, I am very grateful to the poor monk." After finishing speaking, he asked a young monk beside him to take it.

Seeing that the etiquette was done, Baoyu quietly walked to Jiamu's body.
