[Red Mansion] Chronicles of a Girl in the Lin Family

On the other side, Baoyu took Pingan out of the front hall and trotted all the way, fearing that Jia Zheng would call him back suddenly, the two of them didn't stop until they could see the hanging flower arch in the backyard from a distance.

Both of them were a little tired from running for a long time. After stopping, they faced each other and bent over for a long time before recovering.

When he was relieved, Pingan and Jia Baoyu walked towards Jiamu's yard together, and asked Baoyu, "I saw my cousin just now, and I seem to be very afraid of uncle?"

Jia Baoyu stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked at Pingan with disbelief, and said, "Don't you think father is scary? If you disagree, you will have to bring family law or something..."

Ping An really didn't think Jia Zheng was anything scary, so he thought for a while and said to Baoyu, "I don't think uncle is scary. If you want to talk about mobilizing the family, dad will sometimes say it, but he never really does it." If you pass, at most it’s just hitting my palm with a ruler.”

"Uncle still hits your palm?!" Jia Baoyu couldn't believe it, he didn't want the seemingly gentle and refined Uncle Lin to have such a scary side.

Pingan nodded, taking it for granted: "I did something wrong, it's normal for my father to hit me on the palm. If I did something wrong, I should be punished, so I won't do it again in the future."

Jia Baoyu grew up under the pampering of Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang since childhood, and was hardly beaten by Jia Zheng.Even if Jia Zheng got really angry sometimes and wanted to deal with him properly, he was often stopped by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang without hitting him twice.But just those few blows made him feel miserable, and since then he remembered how painful it was to be beaten.

Therefore, every time he was disobedient, once he moved out of Jia Zheng, he would be able to make him stable for a long time. Even when he saw Jia Zheng sometimes, he looked like a mouse seeing a cat.

Hearing that Lin Ruhai was still slapping his palms safely, and maybe even slapping them often, Jia Baoyu couldn't help feeling awe towards Lin Ruhai.When he thought that Lin Ruhai's Qingjun face was so cruel, he couldn't help but shuddered, and hurriedly walked towards Jiamu's yard with Pingan.

When the two arrived at Jia Mu's yard, they happened to meet Jia Mu and the others talking, and they didn't know what Wang Xifeng said, but they made the people in the room laugh.

The little maid opened the door curtain to report that Baoyu and Ping An had arrived, and Jia Mu quickly called them in.

As soon as she entered the door, Mother Jia pulled the two of them to her side and introduced all the people in the room to Ping An.

Ping An saw Li, and although he felt that he was too old to see his daughter's house, he couldn't resist Jia's mother's wishes, so he found a seat beside him and sat down quietly.On the other hand, Mother Jia, who used to listen to Mo Yun talking about Ping'an, being eager to learn and make progress, felt that this grandson was very polite when she saw Ping'an, and she kept nodding in her heart.

I also saw that Baoyu had never moved his eyes away from Daiyu since he met Daiyu. Daiyu was uncomfortable being watched by Baoyu. When we met, I was afraid that I was not wearing the right clothes, but it would be in the way of his eyes, so I hurriedly hid behind my sister.

Baoyu liked this fairy-like sister very much at first, and just wanted to go up and talk to her a few more words. At this time, seeing Daiyu, he hid, and hurried forward to pull Daiyu.

When Jia Mu saw it, she smiled and said, "What are you going to recruit your sister for?"

Jia Baoyu came to Daiyu's side, looked it over carefully, and said pleasantly, "I've seen this younger sister before!"

Mother Jia patted Baoyu dotingly, holding back a smile, and said, "What are you talking about? You and your sister are only meeting each other for the first time. How have you ever met her?"

Jia Baoyu said: "Although I've never met him before, I feel familiar after all. If I think about it, I think it's an old acquaintance. Today is just a reunion after a long absence."

Hearing this, all the female relatives in the room laughed.

Jia Baoyu didn't understand, so he looked at Jia's mother and said, "Everyone, why are you all laughing, but did I say something wrong?"

Tanchun had a good laugh, and then said: "Second elder brother did not say anything wrong, it's just that sister Caixi said that she and Sister Lin had a long-lost reunion, but she didn't want you to have a long-lost reunion. It turns out that Sister Lin She is so popular, everyone wants to reunite with her after a long absence!"

Jia Baoyu also laughed when he heard this, and said: "That's how it is. This shows that Sister Lin is destined for our family, doesn't it? She is destined to come to our house for a while." After saying that, he turned his head to look at Daiyu Said: "Did my sister ever study?"

Daiyu knew that Jia Baoyu didn't think it was because of her own attire, so she felt more at ease. Facing Jia Baoyu's question, she said softly, "I just read the "Four Books."

Jia Baoyu felt dizzy when he heard the "Four Books", so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "But I don't know what two words are my sister's honorable name?"

Daiyu answered.

Jia Baoyu asked again: "My sister is so old, but she has a watch?"

Daiyu didn't know what it meant, so she answered honestly, saying that she had no words.As soon as Jia Baoyu heard it, he immediately became interested, and said, "Since that's the case, how about I give my sister two words?"

Mo Yun frowned on one side, and hurriedly stopped her: "Cousin, let's forget it, our girls' characters are all taken by the father, it would be bad if the father finds out."

Wang Xifeng also smiled and said: "Brother Bao wants to choose a character for his sister, and he doesn't care how old she is? What's more, his father is still sitting outside. Brother Bao, be careful that Lord Lin finds out and rush over! "

Jia Baoyu was hit by these two people on both sides, and the enthusiasm in his heart also subsided, and he said that he understood, and he was going to sit back by Jiamu's side.

But halfway through the journey, he saw that he thought of something again, and walked over excitedly to Baoyu and said, "Your sister has jade?"

Daiyu didn't understand why, so she turned her head to look at her sister.

Mo Yun smiled and said: "Our Yu'er has jade, but I sent it to Boxin Temple before, and asked the abbot to put it in front of the Buddha so that it could be contaminated with Buddha's spirit, so I didn't bring it with me .”

Puxin Temple is a famous temple in Yangzhou. It is said to be very effective, so there is an endless stream of visitors.The abbot of the Boxin Temple, Master Mingye, is a rare master in the world with great cultivation, but because of getting older, he hasn't appeared much in the past two years. If there is a destiny, we will meet each other, which only makes many people regret it.

At this time, listening to Mo Yun talking about the Master Abbot, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and other Buddhist believers became interested, and said to Mo Yun, "The Master Abbot that Yuner is talking about is the Master Mingye?"

Mo Yun nodded.

Jia Mu said: "I heard that Master Mingye only sees people who are destined, but I don't know how you met him?"

Mo Yun smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence." As he spoke, he told everyone the ins and outs of his acquaintance with Master Mingye.

After hearing this, Jia Mu sighed and said: "So that's the case, this is your blessing." After finishing speaking, she asked again: "Is this Master Mingye as advanced as the rumors?"

Mo Yun thought of the gluttonous old child in his memory, and of the kind-hearted, profound Dharma master in the rumors, and felt like laughing.However, he couldn't lose his face in front of outsiders, he could only hold back a smile, lowered his head and said: "Master Mingye is just like rumors."

When Jia Mu heard what she wanted to hear, she also said, "As expected of an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, he really has a noble character."

After talking for a while about the legendary master Mingye, Jia Mu turned her head, but she saw that Baoyu was actually a little sleepy at this time because she had exhausted too much energy facing Jia Zheng before.This made Jia's mother feel bad, so she hurriedly called someone to take Baoyu back to her room to rest.

Coincidentally, someone came to the front yard again, saying that Mrs. Lin was leaving, and called the three children to come together.Hearing this, the three of Mo Yun stood up quickly and were about to leave, but they were stopped by Mother Jia.

Jiamu took Daiyu and Ping'an, and said to the people: "Go and tell my aunt, this is the first time I have seen Yu'er and Ping'an this time, and we have to ask our grandparents and grandchildren to get close to each other. Don’t go back with him, just wait a few days and pick them up again.”

The visitor hurriedly saluted and left.

After a while, the man came back again, and said to Mo Yun and the others: "Uncle Lin told me that he asked the two girls and Uncle Han to live here for a few days, to accompany the old lady well, in the meaning of filial piety. In order to clean up completely, I waited until it was cleaned up before turning back to pick up the three."

After hearing this, the three of Mo Yun said yes, they are temporarily staying here in Rongguo Mansion.

It's just that because the houses in the mansion were not cleaned up, in the end, Daiyu was arranged to live with Mo Yun, and Ping An lived with Baoyu in Jiamu's green gauze closet. The maids and mother-in-law brought along settled down together.
