A Dream of Red Mansions: Zhu Yan drunk

(after Qingming)

In a few days, Baoyu's strange talks in the school finally reached Jia Zheng's ears. The older Jia Zheng was, the more he lamented that the fate of heaven did not know where to go, and it could not be forced by manpower, so he smiled and sighed to Jia's mother: "My son is also confused Every time I see Baoyu come up with thousands of tricks to be mischievous, do I have a tendon in my heart, and I will not do what I tell him to do. If he is allowed to say, Baoyu, you don't have to study from now on, just go play and play mischievously. I don't know if he can just sit down and read." Jia Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've grown older and met many people, some of them are smart and obedient since they were young, and some of them bumped into each other late. It took twenty or thirty years to gradually become enlightened, it is not something that can be urged by ordinary words and principles, let's see again." Jia Zhengsui no longer taught Baoyu about the deed of hanging a beam and stabbing his butt, seeing that he had only been playing in the garden for the past few years There is nothing out of the ordinary about writing poetry, as long as you don't wander around and cause trouble, you don't expect much from him. Seeing that Jia Lan is becoming more and more sensible and likes to read, he shifted his mind to Jia Lan .

Besides, not long after Tanchun left in the Grand View Garden, Xiangyun also went home, and soon left the cabinet. Although her uncle and aunt were still in other provinces, there were elders in charge of the family, and Nan'an Princess, Jia Mu, etc. all sent people to help Zhang Luo, So it was really lively.Baoyu and Wei Ruolan have also met several times, and he has a good personality, so he is not worried about Xiangyun.I just feel that there is less chatterbox in the Grand View Garden, and it is much deserted all of a sudden.In addition, it was even more difficult for Xing Xiuyan to live in the garden for a long time after her parents and Mrs. Xing had a stalemate. Xue Biao married her, and Li Wei and Li Qi rarely came. There were people living in the hall and Changcui nunnery, so Mrs. Wang discussed with Jia Zheng that it would be better to go back to the old lady and let Li Wan and others move out of the Grand View Garden. Be diligent and discipline.Jia Zheng hadn't made a decision yet, but word got out somehow that others were fine, and Baoyu rushed to Jia's mother to die or live, saying that he was close to his father, and he would have to be scolded every day, worried, I can't survive.Jia's mother said that he should just live in the garden at ease.The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the second garden were reluctant to leave their errands and begged Ping'er to go back to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. It can also supplement the family, but it would be a pity to waste it.When Jia Zheng heard it, he said, "It's very good." Mrs. Wang couldn't bring it up again.

Let's say that today, Sister Feng felt that she was a little lighter and her spirit was good, so she helped Ping'er to greet Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.Sister Feng agreed and went to see Mrs. Xing again. It happened that Jia Lian Xiumu came back at home on this day. He and Qiutong went to visit Jiamu's place early in the morning. They were in Mrs. Xing's room. Lianzi smiled and said, "Grandma's complexion has gotten better these days." Sister Feng ignored her and went into the room to greet Mrs. Xing. I understand what I said.Jia Lian then asked Sister Feng, "Look at the breakfast on the table. My wife is so ill. Why don't you ask the kitchen to cook something real, so that she can make up for it. Although the money is tight at home now, it's not like that." He hurriedly said: "How could I ignore this? The doctor said that my wife's disease is also caused by excessive stasis in daily life. Now I can only eat a light diet. That's why." Jia Lian was speechless after hearing this.All of a sudden the little girl came in with the medicine, and Sister Feng hurriedly took it and went to the couch to feed Mrs. Xing the medicine. She just blew a spoonful and handed it over. He yelled again.Jia Lian sneered and said, "Go to the old lady seriously to please her. Don't make her angry here." Sister Feng wanted to say a few words, but she finally endured and went out with Ping'er.

The little girl here hurriedly came to clean up the debris, Qiutong brought another bowl, fed Mrs. Xing, and smiled at Jia Lian: "Grandma, this is already good. If I didn't see that my son is at home today, why would I come to see my wife? On weekdays A word of unhappiness will ruin the etiquette, but fortunately I come to serve every day, otherwise I will give Master Bai a reputation of being unfilial." Jia Lian snorted with a dark face.Here, Sister Feng came back and leaned on the bed, and Ping'er brought over the medicine and said, "This is the medicine I haven't drunk this morning." Sister Feng said angrily, "Qiutong is more hateful than that Youer. She can provoke troubles. I don't know her." What kind of tongue will be chewing behind her back, but I don't have a chance to get rid of her." Ping'er hurriedly advised: "Seeing that there is improvement, it's important to take advantage of the situation and raise it well, why bother to think about these things." Sister Feng took the medicine and drank it He also asked Ping'er to ask someone to go to the library to find some paper and ink to send to Baoyu later.

The last time Baoyu went to Shuiyue Nunnery to see Xichun, he saw that she was running out of rice paper, and although Youshi ordered people to send her daily supplies, the things for painting might not be hospitable, so she asked Sister Feng for paper and ink, and brought tea to her Shuiyue Temple sent it to Xichun.When he came to the nunnery, Jingxu knew that he was coming to see Xichun again, so he led him to a tile house in the back and asked him to help himself.I saw four words engraved on the old mahogany plaque at the door: Mingchen carries light. When I went in, I saw two low tables, a few futons, and an old wooden shelf with incense sticks, wooden fish scriptures and other things. The figure in gray clothes and cloth shoes was lying cross-legged in front of him, it turned out that Xichun was teaching Fangguan how to draw, and Mingyan put the things on the shelf and went outside to wait.Baoyu said: "Fourth sister, I brought you some drawing paper." Xichun hurriedly got up and said, "Second brother, why did you come here in such a hot day?" He brought Baoyu a bowl of tea, and Baoyu took it Seeing that it was just plain water, I was thirsty on the way, so I took a few sips with it.Fangguan moved a futon to Baoyu's feet, and Baoyu sat down cross-legged on the floor, and smiled at her, "Fangguan, I heard from Jingxu that you and Zhitong have quarreled again." Fangguan sneered and said, "Who I quarreled with her, and I was just arguing with her." Baoyu clapped his hands and laughed, "It seems that the fourth younger sister not only taught you how to draw, but also taught you how to read. You are destined to be favored by the fourth younger sister." Xichun sneered Said: "I still have to go to the Buddhist hall to do my homework every day. I don't have the time to talk to her, but seeing that she can't even read the words in the Buddhist scriptures, I pester her and ask her, just teach her a few words."

Baoyu saw that the walls were covered with calligraphy and paintings. There were several paintings of withered lotus, cold mountains, mountain dwellings in late spring, broken bridges and remnants of snow written on the Pharaoh Road. On the reed, there is either a single insect rolling its eyes and lying in front of the grass, or a single fish rolling its eyes and spitting bubbles. The brush strokes are extensive, leaving a large area of ​​blank space, and Fangguan's Dharma name Zhizhi is written crookedly on the upper right corner.Baoyu smiled and said, "Master Zhizhi, your painting style is very peculiar." Fangguan said, "Thank you." Baoyu looked at the painting for a while, and then said to Xichun, "In that case, you two might as well go back to our garden and follow Miaoyu lived together in Changcui Nunnery and practiced. The so-called great hermit lives in the city, so why live in this shabby room, people can't bear to see it." Xichun sighed: "Just like that, some people say that I hid on purpose. If you don't go with the third sister, you will be praised and criticized even more when you go back, so it's better to finish it here." Baoyu knew that she was always stubborn, so she didn't force her anymore.Here, official Xichunfang was going to do his homework, so Baoyu and Mingyan rode back home.

Let's say that Baoyu and Mingyan came out of Shuiyue nunnery, and the sun had already risen. Mingyan said: "Today is another sunny day. Let's go back earlier and don't go shopping elsewhere."The two of them rode straight back to the house. When they arrived in the city, they accidentally saw Jin Rong wandering in the street. They just pretended not to see them and rode past. Baoyu asked Mingyan, "Jin Rong doesn't go to school anymore. What is he doing now?" What about it?" Mingyan said: "What is his grandson going to do, he is just someone who wanders around with his friends all day long, and can't be noticed." Here Jin Rong also saw Baoyu Mingyan passing by, and secretly cursed in his heart: relying on Lao Tzu's shadow What kind of skill is it? It depends on how many days you can live happily.Seeing that it was almost noon, he went home to eat, when his mother saw him wandering back again, she opened her mouth and scolded: "I can't read well, and I have a bad temper, what kind of son and brother are you outside, relatives found you a good one." An errand, I lost one of my pair of Kodama bracelets for no reason, maybe you stole it and pawned it." Jin Rong became impatient, so he refused to eat in a fit of anger, and slammed the door out.

Out of the alley, Jin Rong was looking for a noodle stall to fill his stomach, when he happened to meet two acquainted servants from the Jia family who came out to do some shopping, so he dragged the two of them into a small restaurant, ordered food and drinks, and the two servants said nothing It's not easy to drink during the day, and I have to go back later, Jin Rong persuaded: "To save face, it's okay to have a few sips."After a few glasses of wine, Jin Rong persuaded him to eat food again, sighing: "It's a pity that you two are guarding the gold and silver, and you don't know how to get some." The two of them didn't know why, and asked, "How do you say that?" Jin Rong said : "I heard that there are some treasures and antiques at the aunt with hair practice in the garden. The two of you work at the second gate, so you should know better than me." The two nodded and said: "So what, the garden is easy for us Can you get in? What else do you want?" Jin Rong discussed with the two of them in such a way in a low voice, the two looked embarrassed, and one of them said: "It's good if we win, but if we lose it, not only will we lose My aunt is also working in the garden, so it will make her lose face." The other said: "Exactly, my aunt is also working in the garden. Don't cheat us." Jin Rong sneered: " Am I the one who didn't take responsibility? If I miss the trick, you say you heard the movement and came to catch the thief, and push the matter to me. Besides, this aunt is not from here, and she won't make a fuss Someone advocated for her, this is a safe thing, because of our friendship in the old days, we also think about each other when we have money." The two of them felt a little moved when they heard what he said. I was full and rushed back to do business.

On the night of the first day of April, there was no moon in the sky, only faint stars, but the wind on the ground was not quiet, only whistling, and the flowers, plants and trees in the Grand View Garden were shaking to and fro. Two young servants hide under the wall of Changcui nunnery.Around the time of Hai, all the women who were watching the night in the garden entered the house. Jin Rong and others built a ladder and leaned against the wall. Only one Taoist room in the nunnery was lit, and it was vaguely seen from the window paper that it was a young man. The woman was flipping through the book under the lamp, it was expected that Miaoyu was not asleep yet, and there seemed to be snoring in the other Taoist room, so the three of them quietly climbed over the wall and slipped to the root of Miaoyu's room.After waiting for another half an hour, but Miaoyu didn't turn on the lamp, Jin Rong got impatient, pulled off the black scarf covering his face, squeezed his throat, meowed two or three times like a cat, and sneered at the wall with his nails. He swiped twice.Hearing a click, the door opened, Miaoyu poked her head out, Jin Rong immediately went up and grabbed her hair, covered her mouth, and pushed into the room, the two servants hurriedly followed in, one covered the door, leaving the other behind to hold the door. wind.I saw Jin Rong stuffed Miaoyu's mouth in twos and twos, covered her head and bound her hands and feet.The boy had already opened a snakeskin bag and searched through the boxes and cabinets.After a while, the two made a gesture and blew on the lamp. The young man carried the bag, and Jin Rong picked up Miaoyu and ran out of the nunnery.Fearing that the wind would blow the door open and close and wake up the Taoist woman in the courtyard, when she came out, she closed the door of Miaoyu's room and the gate of Changcui Temple firmly before leaving.The three of them crossed the Qinfang Bridge in the dark along the way they came from, and came to the outside of the wall of the Pear Fragrance Court. There was no one living there recently, so I went boldly to the main gate facing the street, lifted the bolt to pick the lock, and went out of the street.

After the three of them succeeded, he divided up the stolen goods overnight and sold Miaoyu. He told the trafficker: "Be sure to take it far away before changing hands, so as to avoid future troubles." The trafficker lifted the hood and inspected Miaoyu. Seeing that it was really good, he hired a boat and left the next day, intending to go to the south and resell Miaoyu at a high price.Poor Miaoyu couldn't speak, but could hear with her ears. Seeing that she had fallen into the hands of thieves, she wished she could kill herself immediately to avoid their humiliation, but there was nowhere to find her. She was in a hurry and sad, and shed so many tears.On this day, when the boat arrived at Guazhou Ferry, there was a commotion outside the cabin. The trafficker went out to the bow of the boat and saw two groups of people on the ferry, wielding knives and guns. To seize the boat under the wind and try to escape, two boatmen on a large boat on the shore refused to obey orders and were chopped off the boat with a knife. The other group of black belts would not let them go, and chased them all the way to the boat.Seeing this situation, the traffickers felt that saving their lives was the most important thing, so they jumped into the river and swam to escape.

Miaoyu struggled to break free from the rope at this time, staggered to the outside of the cabin, saw a human trafficker escaped, and two groups of knives came, she might as well throw herself into the water and die, so as to save herself from falling into their hands, and suddenly wanted to die. The body was swollen and floating in the river, smelly and dirty, while hesitating, a bearded man with a black belt jumped onto the boat and laughed loudly: "This aunt is not bad, let's take him back to show the boss first, haha." As she said that, she came over to tie people up, Miaoyu regretted so much, she had no choice but to be tied up again.I don't know how long it took for those two groups of people to kill, Miaoyu was transported away by this bearded man blindfolded.When the eye cloth was pulled away again, I saw that I was in a Buddhist hall. I looked up and saw the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha enshrined in the hall. It turned out to be the main hall of a temple. I turned my head and looked outside the hall. Three big characters of Fushan Temple are engraved on it.

Miaoyu was about to struggle, when she suddenly heard a shout from outside the hall, a tall man covered in blood was kicked into the hall, and fell beside her, his upper body was tightly bound by iron chains, smelling blood She vomited, but couldn't move.In a short while, both sides of the Buddha statue were full of people, and a middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the incense table in the middle of the main hall. Everyone called him the boss. He was neither ugly nor handsome, with both good and evil on his face.I saw him saying to the man who was kicked in: "I have persuaded you for three days and still refused to surrender. I respect you as a man. It's just that in today's battle, although we won, we also lost many brothers. We must take you!" I donate my blood to the Buddhas, so that the Buddhas can save my good brother as soon as possible." The man said angrily: "Fushan Temple is our hilltop, and if you take it by force, you will drive us all to death. I'm afraid of death, so I won't go this way." The boss waved his hand, and two people dragged the man out of the hall and beheaded him immediately.

Miaoyu saw that this group of people were actually committing massacres in the Buddhist temple. It could be seen that they were a group of vicious gangsters. She was already terrified in her heart, and seeing that the boss was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile, she regretted that she should have jumped into the river just now. .I saw a thin man next to him with a fan, and said with a wicked smile, "How about letting me identify it for you?" , Smelling it carefully, he laughed while smelling it: "Sure enough, there is no smell of wine, but a smell of tea, haha." Seeing this strange humiliation, Miaoyu was instantly furious, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted immediately .Seeing this, Fang said: "Take her to the Palace of Heavenly Kings. Brothers, let's go to the back mountain. It is important to bury the heroic souls who died in battle today." Everyone said it was right, so they went out of the back door of the main hall and rushed back The mountain has gone.

When Miaoyu woke up and turned around, it was already night, and she opened her eyes and saw that she was in another Buddhist hall. Maitreya Buddha with a big belly was sitting in the hall and smiling, and the four heavenly kings of holding the country, growing, wide-eyed, and multi-hearing stood staring at each other on both sides. Under the ever-burning lamp in front of the Buddha, a middle-aged nun sat kneeling, muttering sutras.Hearing Miaoyu's movement, she turned around and saw Miaoyu stroking her heart, still sitting there in a daze, so she came over to comfort her and said, "Don't worry, they won't kill family members, just try to scare them. You must have seen that boss, he was also a monk before, and later returned to vulgarity to gather bandits, and started this murderous business. When he met a monk, he would be merciful, but first you have to distinguish, as long as there is a little bit of alcohol on his body, you will know it. If you don't practice sincerely every day, you will be dragged to the back mountain as a hard labor, and if you practice well, you will be locked up in the front hall to chant scriptures to reduce their debts." After the nun finished speaking, she went to the back of the hall to bring her a bowl of rice and put it on her body Before, I went to chant scriptures.

After hearing these words, Miaoyu still sat blankly, with a bright moon outside the hall, and insects chirping in the mountains, thinking of the days of her hometown and Jia's mansion, it seemed as if a lifetime had passed, and the disaster had already been done, and death could not wipe it away After thinking about it, I realized that my study of scriptures and enlightenment was still too early to be self-understanding, so I and that nun fell in love with the scriptures from then on.A few months later, the bandits here were recruited to go down the mountain. Miaoyu did not leave, but moved to a nunnery at the foot of the mountain, where she was formally shaved, renamed Huawen, and continued to practice. To solve the confusion in my heart, I don't know the details, so I dare not elaborate.In addition, Jia's mansion saw that Longcuian was stolen, but Miaoyu was missing. After all, they did not find out who was the thief, so they had to report to the officials.Baoyu was really worried about her in his heart. After a long time, when he learned of her whereabouts, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion and let her go.

It's exactly: you don't see it in the cultivation base, you will realize it, and you will learn the true knowledge after the robbery.
