The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Daiyu saw that the nun had hair, so she knew it must be Miaoyu, but when she looked carefully, she saw that Miaoyu was really different from everyone in the nunnery - needless to say, her appearance was very good, but she was all alone. The state of the world is beyond human reach.

When Baochai saw Miaoyu herself, she remembered it and whispered in Daiyu's ear, "Yes, this is the person. She had a very clean temper in her life, and she was used to being proud of her talents. Among the sisters, you and I are the only ones." No one can get her blue eyes. Even you and I, most of them are blessed by Baoyu. I don’t know how she got her temper in this life, and how she is compared to before.”

Daiyu said: "According to you, she is just another ordinary person who has been delayed by Baoyu's appearance. How good can it be?"

Baochai just laughed, and couldn't help pinching her face and said: "I heard your sour tone, you must be eating less pears, so I'd better ask Wu Zhuangtou to buy some autumn pears."

Daiyu wondered, "What does it have to do with Qiuli?"

Baochai said: "You don't know about it. There is a cure for jealousy in ancient times. It takes Qiuli for one and two coins for rock sugar..." Before she finished speaking, Daiyu knew that she was making fun of her, so she pinched her back angrily and said : "Okay, if you don't talk about me a few times a day, you will feel uncomfortable, won't you?"

Baochai had been on guard for a long time, put her arms around her waist, and laughed and dodged around her. Daiyu pinched her a few times but failed, and she was so tired that she was out of breath. When she stopped, she heard her again. While rubbing her face, Baochai smiled and said, "I still have a penny of tangerine peel, three bowls of water, and the pear is ripe. If you eat such a pear every morning, you will never suffer from jealousy again."

Daiyu spit out: "It's strange that every spring and autumn you always force me to eat that Laoshizi pear, saying that it nourishes the lungs and relieves cough, but it turns out that you used wild prescriptions to coax me to cure that jealousy disorder! Let me tell you, You don’t have to worry about it, old man, I packed up my things early and went back to live with my father. It happened that Fang’er was also in enlightenment, so I and my father watched over him to study, saving time here Obstructing your eyes!"

Seeing that she didn't say a few words, Baochai's eye circles turned red, and she stomped her feet repeatedly: "It's just a joke, why do you take it seriously? The Qiuli is indeed for moisturizing your dryness. You are weak, so don't take care of yourself." What’s more, when the weather changes, I’m going to cough immediately. Once I cough, I can’t rest assured.” Then he said: “You are such a smart person, why can’t you understand this? If there is such a cure for jealousy in the world, then where in the world will there be such secret affairs in the inner house!"

Daiyu just lowered her head and covered her face, pretending to be sobbing. Baochai coaxed her not to return, and walked around her a few times anxiously, patting her back and hugging her shoulders, saying repeatedly: "Good sister, you I'm not a petty person in the past, why are you suddenly so petty this time?" He said again: "Is there something uncomfortable?" Thinking of this, she immediately reached out to touch Daiyu's forehead, Daiyu slapped her away, and she again Hurry to touch Daiyu's wrist, but Daiyu couldn't hold her back, put her hand down, giggled and said: "Fool, I'm just teasing you, you're so anxious, if I'm really angry, what can you do? "But there are rippling eyebrows and a tactful smile, why have there been any tears?

Seeing her appearance, Baochai was neither angry nor smiling, so he sighed, stomped his feet, and called out "Lin Daiyu" reproachfully. Sweet smile said: "Sister Bao, Miaoyu must have gone to look for Sister Ling when she went that way. Go and have a look, don't let sister Ling suffer."

Baochai cast a sidelong glance at her, and let her hold her arm, and the two of them passed by with Miaoyu on their backs.

It turns out that the Panxiang Temple has a vast area, and after a winding walk, I arrived at a Buddhist hall.

Miaoyu frowned, and stopped in the distance.She carried a servant who looked like a servant, and as soon as she stopped, the servant went straight forward, said hello to the women standing at the door, and said, "Where is your grandma?"

One of the women pouted inward, and said, "I'm listening to Master Miaoyun's sutra lecture inside." She specially bit the word "speaking sutra" very hard, and the servant didn't feel very comfortable listening to it. It was not easy to go back to Miaoyu, so he just stood at the door and looked inside.

Chai and Dai stopped at the back of the corridor, but they couldn't see what was going on inside. Daiyu looked around for a while, and saw Zijuan coming out of it. Juan lifted up her skirt, pretending to relieve her hands, and said to the women, "I'll go over there for a while."

She is the most useful person around Daiyu, and several women said one after another: "It's a long way over there, and the girl is right here. We will block it for you." Someone came to fetch things for her. A little bhikkhuni saw that the women were attentive, so she also wanted to come up to serve her, so she blushed with shame, and said in her mouth, "I'm just going for a while, you're overthinking it." Fearing that people wouldn't believe it, he said, "Our girl is wild. , I don’t know where she went all of a while, and Miss Bao is always messing around with her, so I have to go and call her back, you just stay here and watch over your concubine.” Xing Xing said, and they came here as if they were running away. Yu, was stopped again, Miaoyu said coldly: "Did you girls walk away just now?"

Although Zijuan didn't like her tone, she nodded and pretended to say: "Exactly, has this master seen the two girls from my family?"

Miaoyu said: "Just now I saw two people in the garden over there, just look for them over there."

Zijuan thanked Miaoyu in a serious manner, and came all the way, bypassing the corridor, Daiyu said in a low voice: "You look at me and I can't hear what you are saying? What do you mean I am wild?"

But Zijuan was not afraid of her, and only complained: "Miss, you have the nerve to say that? The girl herself said that she would come here to play, and she encouraged us to mobilize the teachers and mobilize the crowd to come, but as soon as she entered the nunnery, there was no one, so Miss Ling was alone. That person was waiting in the crowd. Is that picker easy to provoke? As soon as Miss Ling sat there, someone came to report that the nunnery had collapsed and needed to be repaired. After drinking another cup of tea, Miss Ling suddenly recognized the charcoal fire in the nunnery. At the time you walked away, our Aunt Ling pledged dozens of silver in it, thanks to her moonlight All the money goes to our account. If the eldest wife knows that there is no grievance in the first place, she will have a grievance now! That Miaoyun is good, send the women out first, and keep me inside, I am a servant , I didn’t serve her directly, and it’s hard to persuade her, so I can only listen, I’m really anxious to death——I heard from those women that this kind of thing doesn’t happen once or twice. That's right, they tried to persuade them, but they didn't listen. As long as Master Miaoyu wanted it, Aunt Ling would come over and give it in person. In the past two years, I don't know how many hundred taels have been given. Well, everyone in this temple knows that Aunt Ling who lives in the west of the city is very soft-hearted, and she is the most willing to give up incense money, and everyone counts on her to make a living."

Daiyu and Baochai were originally interested in watching the excitement, thinking that Xiangling and Miaoyu might also have that kind of inexplicable meaning. If it can be facilitated, it will relieve Xiangling's loneliness in the second half of her life.Unexpectedly, when we got here, it was such a scene, and we couldn't help but look at each other. After a while, Baochai came back to his senses and said, "If Sister Ling is happy, just donate. It's not that I don't have money. It's rare for us to come here." .Later on, I will increase the monthly money given to Sister Ling in the account, and the monthly payment of [-] taels is indeed a little thinner. I see that she is very frugal in food and clothing."

Daiyu sneered and said, "Miss Xue is so rich, she doesn't know how much gold and silver she earns in a year, she just gives money when she speaks and keeps her mouth shut. If you are so generous, why don't you just take over this temple and take home the wonderful gold and jade?" Forget it? I see how much money you have to be cheated."

Baochai frowned and said, "You usually spend a few taels of silver for a suit of clothes. You can get some money for a few clothes from anywhere, do some good deeds in this nunnery, accumulate some sinful virtues, and help the dead by the way. You can also be called Sister Ling is happy, so why not do it."

Daiyu couldn't hear her say the word "old friend" the most, she raised her face and said, "If this money is spent on Sister Ling, I'd be willing to spend it on Sister Ling. Over the years, Sister Ling said she was Brother Xue's aunt, but in fact she never They all stayed with us. It was said that it was ten taels a month, but in fact, there was no shortage of Zhuangtian festivals, and all clothes and jewelry were left to her. Have you ever seen me say a word? What I can't see is the money They were all given to a bunch of thieves and nuns who cheated people out of money. The old ones are fine, but this young one looks decent, so why would she do such a thing? If she asks for money in an open and honest manner, it’s fine. I’m afraid she will deliberately Hiding evil, seduced Sister Ling deeper and deeper, but actually hurt Sister Ling."

Baochai said, "Miaoyu is not such a person."

Daiyu said: "You didn't have much contact with this person at that time, and you don't even remember this person much now. How dare you assert that she is not such a person? Besides, she was taken away at that time. In the middle of the capital, they are all ladies who come and go, and they are all the etiquette and righteousness of the Book of Songs. Now, after staying in this remote temple for 30 years, how can you be sure that she will not empathize and become that kind of woman? Waiting for a snob?"

Hearing Daiyu's question, Baochai calmed down and said with a slight smile, "Then I will make a bet with you. I bet that this wonderful jade is of high purity and will not be in the same rank as the people in this nunnery. Are you betting with me? "

Daiyu rolled her eyes and said, "I won't bet you this, I'll bet you something else, do you dare?"

Baochai raised her eyebrows and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Seeing Baochai, Daiyu made a vow, knowing that she has always been accurate in judging people, and also knew the cause and effect of her previous life. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "I bet that even if this Miaoyu doesn't join forces with those old nuns, she will treat Sister Ling well." Sister Ling didn't mean anything to her."

Seeing her hesitation, Baochai smiled deliberately: "Just now you kept blaming Miaoyu for defrauding people of money, but now you've changed your mind? You're so erratic, I dare not bet with you, in case you lose and renege on your debt." , isn't it meaningless?"

Daiyu said angrily, "When did I pay you?" Seeing that Baochai was about to speak, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and said, "The time in Jinling doesn't count! The time last month doesn't count either! I...I this time Seriously bet with you and ask Zijuan to be a witness."

Zijuan smiled and said: "I have been witnessing too much, and I have never seen the girl perform the contract. I will not be fooled by you again."

Baochai flashed out from under Daiyu's hand, and said with a smile, "Look at you, you've reneged on your debts so much that even Zicuckoo can't stand it."

Daiyu was very annoyed when she saw the two of them teaming up to deal with her, and said stubbornly: "I...then I swear here, this time I will lose the bet, and I will let you do what I want, what do you want? Don't bet, I'm angry, and I won't live with you tonight."

Baochai just wanted her to say this, and smiled softly: "You have said that, so I can only accompany you - I bet Miaoyu not only cares about Sister Ling, but also puts her on the top of her heart."

Seeing that she was speaking with certainty, Daiyu felt more and more confident, but she snorted and said, "Let's wait and see!"
