After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

It wasn't until they got into the carriage with Baochai and sister-in-law that Xin Xin's expression eased, and she said apologetically to Baochai, "My mother...causes you trouble."

She was born in such a family, and since she was a child, she has suffered a lot from the fighting skills of her brothers, which forced her, a eldest daughter born from the eldest daughter, to learn how to watch her words and feelings.How could she fail to see that Mrs. Xue's family didn't want to go with them at all?

The family didn't explicitly refuse, it was just to save face for their family, but my own mother just walked along with shamelessness.This made Xin Xin feel very ashamed, and felt very sorry for her friend.

Baochai smiled nonchalantly, and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I miss her very much. We just sat together and talked."

What Baochai said was the truth, but Xinxin felt that she was comforting herself, and felt even more ashamed.

Seeing this, Baochai had no choice but to change the subject: "Is this Grandma Xin whom my sister always praises so much?"

Although Grandma Xin is Xiao Ling's biological elder sister, there is a large age gap between the two sisters. By the time Baochai reaches the age where she can go out and socialize, she will already be married.

Therefore, although Baochai often heard Xiao Ling and Xin Xin mention her, she never met her by chance.

Grandma Xin has a festive round face, and her bright eyes are as bright as cold stars.At this moment, those eyes were full of smiles, looked Baochai up and down, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am. This younger sister must be the sister of the Xue family that Linger and Xiner often talk about. "

Baochai said: "If Grandma doesn't dislike it, just call me Baochai."

Grandma Xin said: "Then don't look outside, just like Linger, call me big sister."

Speaking of, the fate of people is really wonderful.Just like Grandma Xin and Baochai, although they saw each other for the first time, they hit it off very much, and soon changed their names and became close to each other.

Xin Xin originally sympathized with her sister-in-law, but recently, because of Xiao Ling's letters, her sister-in-law taught her many business skills and even principles of life in private, so she completely put away her ridiculous sympathy and turned to admiration.

She had to admit that her eldest brother was really not good enough for her sister-in-law!

And Baochai is her younger sister who has the same interests as her. The two get along well, and Xin Xin is very happy.When they arrived at the Great Buddha Temple, the three of them still felt that they still had something to say, so they made an appointment to talk later.

Mrs. Xue Wang and Mrs. Xin led their daughters and daughters-in-law to the Wei Tuo Hall on the first floor to offer incense and worship Sakyamuni Buddha.Then, under the regretful eyes of Mrs. Xin's family, they parted ways.

Because Mrs. Xin's family is going to send the son Guanyin to fulfill her vows, but the place where Mrs. Xue Wang is going is the Medicine Buddha.

Although Mrs. Xin's family wanted to continue clinging, she did not dare to neglect in the face of the gods and Buddhas, for fear that something might happen to her grandson who was finally waiting for her.

As soon as the two families separated, Xue Wang frowned and said to Baochai, "This family, let's stay far away in the future."

But Baochai was not happy: "Sister Xin is good, and Grandma Xin is also good. I love playing with them."

Xue Wang has only one son and one daughter under her knees. Although she prefers her son more, her daughter is also her eyeball.Seeing her daughter insisted on refusing, she had no choice but to let it go.

Baochai said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't cause trouble for the family."

Xue Wangshi laughed instead, touched Baochai's hair bun, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, is our family afraid of trouble?"

In her heart, neither the Wang family nor the Xue family should be underestimated. Who in Jinling dare not give their family face?

Baochai just smiled and said nothing, but she sighed in her heart: it is precisely because mother has always had such thoughts that her elder brother is spoiled.Not only can't support the family at all, but it only knows how to make trouble.

While the mother and daughter were talking, the Medicine Master Buddha Hall had already arrived. Mrs. Xue Wang hurriedly pulled back her knees and looked solemn, and brought her daughter to offer incense to fulfill her wish sincerely, and generously added 500 taels of sesame oil money.

This side they walked out of the Medicine Buddha Hall, and the Zhike monk over there soon got the news.

Therefore, when Xue Wang took Baochai to ask for a lottery, he was warmly received by the Zhike monk.

"I don't know what lottery the two female Bodhisattvas ask for?"

Xue Wang returned the gift with palms together, and replied, "Ask about marriage for my two sons and daughters."

The monk who knew the guest said: "The female Bodhisattva is dedicated to goodness, and she will be able to achieve what she wants."

Xue Wang said happily: "Then I will borrow the auspicious words of the master."

Then, she took the stick and begged for one for Xue Pan first.

The Zhike monk personally unwrapped the lottery, took it over and looked at it, and he was sure of it, and said with a face full of Buddha's light: "This is a lottery, so the son's good luck will come soon."

Xue Wang was overjoyed, and bowed again: "Bodhisattva bless you, Bodhisattva bless you!"

Then, she begged for another one for Baochai with great hope.

But unfortunately, this is a undersigned.

Mrs. Xue, unwilling to give up, asked for two more.But without exception, they are all signed.

It's only three times, and the three times are signed, it shows that this is really God's will.

Xue Wang's complexion was very ugly, and the Zhike monk was about to break out in cold sweat.

Originally, he heard from the little novice that a pilgrim with a lot of money came today, so he rushed to flatter him, thinking that even if he couldn't get another sum of money for sesame oil, he would let this pilgrim come to their Jialan Temple again next time.

But who knew that this seemingly blessed little girl would be so rough in her marriage that she almost had no way out?

After signing three lots in a row, the Zhike monk thought he could speak like a lotus flower, but he didn't know how to get it back.

Fortunately, at this time, Mrs. Xin's family also brought Xin Xin to ask for a marriage lottery, which broke the dignified atmosphere in the hall.

"Mrs. Xue is here too? What a coincidence!" Mrs. Xin's family couldn't help being surprised and delighted when she met Xue Wang again. "I heard that the lottery from Jialan Temple is the most effective. I wonder if Mrs. Xue has drawn it ?”

Xue Wang's complexion became even worse.

Zhike monk wished he could step forward and cover Mrs. Xin's mouth: You can shut up, which pot is not open and which pot to carry!

Fortunately, Mrs. Xin's family didn't really lose her eyes. Seeing Xue Wang's face was ugly, she realized that she might have said something wrong.

And in this place, because of her saying "the lottery is effective", she was black-faced, maybe she got some bad lottery?

But if she was really asked to say something that offended the Bodhisattva again, she didn't dare, so she smiled embarrassingly and said, "I'll go and ask for a lottery for my daughter."

Mrs. Xin's family also asked about marriage for Xin Xin.

Xin Xin is 12 years old this year. Girls in Jiangnan usually get married when they are young. Seeing each other two or three years in advance means loving and respecting their daughter. .

But Mrs. Xin's family has another thought in her heart.

That is, I hope that my daughter can find a husband's family who will help her son well, so that his son can completely overwhelm those two concubines and inherit the family business smoothly.

Therefore, with this lottery, she is not only asking for her daughter's marriage, but also her son's future.

"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless!"

But unfortunately, it is a lottery.

The Zhike monk was stunned: Why are there so many signings today?

Mrs. Xin's family didn't believe in evil, and insisted on asking for two more, but without exception, they all signed.

Zhike monk: "..."

--What can i say?I'd better shut up.

"This... this..." Mrs. Xin's family was obviously unwilling to accept the reality, "How could this happen?"

Xin Xin lowered her eyes and secretly sneered.

——In her life, she will never have any marriage at all, and naturally she will not be able to find any good lottery.

But soon, she obediently stepped forward and said to her mother, "Mom, since you are asking for a lottery for me, why don't you let me try again."

"Yes, yes, come by yourself, come by yourself!" Mrs. Xin's family seemed to grasp the straw, and hurriedly stuffed the lottery into Xin Xin's hand.

Xin Xin held the lottery and prayed secretly: "Bodhisattva is above, believers don't ask about marriage, but only about future."

After praying, she held the stick and shook it vigorously, and finally one of them fell out.

"Master, please release the sign."

I was stimulated too much today, and the monk Zhike didn't want to solve it anymore.But since the believer has already asked, he cannot be puzzled.

After taking the lottery and looking at it, Zhike Monk breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a lottery." He said, and glanced at Xin Xin.

——It's just that this signature is not like asking about marriage.

However, Zhike Monk certainly wouldn't talk too much.Monks also need to have a meal!

He only said that it was a lottery, but he didn't say what kind of lottery he was asking for; Xin Xin just asked for a lottery for himself, and didn't say what kind of lottery he was asking for.

Both of them were telling the truth, and neither of them lied in front of the Buddha.

Mrs. Xin's family wished that what Xin Xin was looking for was marriage, she couldn't help being overjoyed when she got the lottery, and said three good things in a row: "I knew that my son's marriage must be smooth!"

When Xue Wangshi saw it, his eyes lit up, and he urged Baochai, "My son, go and ask for one for yourself."

She thought, maybe the Buddha saw Baochai coming, but he didn't ask for it himself, so he got angry and blamed him just now.Didn't you see that the eldest daughter of the Xin family asked for it, and the Buddha gave her a lottery?

Baochai was helpless.She can guarantee that what Xin Xin is looking for is definitely not a marriage lottery.But it will definitely not dismantle Xin Xin's platform.

As for her...

That's all, she just begged, whether her Xue family can turn the bad luck into good luck in this life.

So Baochai also asked for a lottery.

"Congratulations to the female Bodhisattva, it is the lottery." The monk Zhike said happily.

Although it is not as good as the top sign, it is still very good.

Seeing that the lottery was not the upper lottery, Xue Wang felt a little regretful, but thinking about the three lottery draws he had drawn in a row, he was satisfied with the lottery.

She smiled and said: "It seems that in front of the Buddha, you really can't be lazy."

Mrs. Xin's family echoed: "Yes, it's time for them to ask for it themselves, so they appear pious."

Xin Xin and Baochai looked at each other, both showing obedient and submissive smiles, each standing quietly beside their mothers, neither commenting on what their mothers said.

Grandma Xin looked left and then again, as if she understood something, but said nothing.

Now that they met again, Mrs. Xin's family naturally didn't want to leave.It just so happened that Xue Wang also felt that she reminded herself that she could let her daughter draw lots by herself, but she didn't refuse very much, and the two families went down the mountain and returned to the city together.
