Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

A little maid led a middle-aged woman who was dressed in a non-monastic way to come towards him, and happened to meet Jia Cong.Looking at their direction, they were going to Jia Mu's yard.

In Dream of Red Mansions, there are quite a few monks who came and went with Jia’s family. Except for Zhang Zhenren who lived in Qingxu Temple and Miaoyu who later lived in Quicui Temple and practiced Daifa, most of them came to beat the autumn wind, such as the nuns in Tiekan Temple and Mantou Temple. They, but that's all shaved.Dressed up in such a decent way, and walking on the edge of Buddhism, is the mysterious figure who pretends to be a ghost, but seems to be proficient in some sorcery—Ma Daopo!

Jia Cong's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, a vague idea appeared in his mind.He quickly sorted out in his mind, thinking.This method may not be appropriate, and it may not be effective, and it may even cause some adverse effects on him.If he didn't know the development of the plot and was not full of worries about the future of the Jia family, he would not be willing to make such a plan.

"Master Cong." The maid who led the way called Jia Cong with a smile.Originally, Jia Cong and Jia Huan were like lazy people who could not stand on the stage. The maid was working in the old lady's yard. Although she was only a third-class maid, in the old lady's yard, even cats and dogs They are more noble than others, and I didn't think highly of them in my heart before.But these days, Jia Cong's demeanor has gradually changed, and the maids have unconsciously treated him differently.

Ma Daopo was sensitively aware of the servant girl's cautious attitude towards Jia Cong, and greeted him with a smile on her face: "So it's brother Cong, how are you doing well these days?"

In the original body's memory, there was no impression of Ma Daopo.After thinking about it, I know that Ma Daopo has always only served the powerful masters of the Jia family, and she must have the utmost affection for Jia Baoyu.She and Aunt Zhao can also talk, and they can cheat some money from Aunt Zhao, no matter how small the fly legs are, they are still meat, so sometimes they think about giving Jia Huan two amulets or something.As for Jia Cong, who doesn't even have the support of her biological mother, she never strikes up a conversation at all, so it's not good for her at all, isn't it?

However, Ma Daopo is a smooth and exquisite person, otherwise, she would not be able to mix well with Mrs. Jia Muwang and Aunt Zhao at the same time.She was very familiar with her, and she praised Jia Cong with a smile. It was nothing more than that brother Cong is doing so well now, and he looked like a young master.

Jia Cong remained calm, smiled and said to Ma Daopo: "Today I am lucky to see the face of the real person. I heard from Brother Huan's aunt that the real person has a way, and I just want to trouble the real person!"

As he said, he took out a handful of copper coins from his purse and gave it to the little maid, and said with a smile: "Sister, please go to my yard and ask Madam Su to bring me the name talisman I have since I was a child. With the blessing of chants, it will be effective."

The little maid got the reward, and when she saw Ma Daopo slightly nodding her head and agreeing, she went for a run with a smile to earn some extra money.

Seeing the little maid walking away, Jia Cong consulted and sized Ma Daopo up and down, with a look of surprise on his face, and sighed in his mouth: "It really is so, could it be that the scene in the dream is real?"

"Brother Cong, what are you doing?" Ma Daopo asked puzzled.

"Really, I just saw a faint halo flashing from your body, just like what I heard in my dream." Jia Cong showed a look of wonder and awe.

"What, Halo?"

"Yeah!" Jia Cong sighed: "A few days ago, I had a strange dream, and the scene in the dream was still vivid in my mind after waking up. I thought that the things in the dream could not be taken seriously, but I didn't expect it to happen today. Seeing is believing!"

"Really, you know magic, don't you?" Jia Cong suddenly asked seriously.Ma Daopo is a very important villain, she took Aunt Zhao's money, and acted like a nightmare to suppress Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu, almost killing them both.To deal with such a person, Jia Cong chose to expose her secrets as soon as he came up, catching her off guard.

"Brother Cong, what does this mean?" Ma Daopo's face changed a little, and her voice became sharp.

"It's nothing. In my dream, a person who was covered in clouds and mist and couldn't see his face spoke to me. He said that in the world, there are mostly people who pretend to be ghosts and deceive the world, but there are also people who really know magic. People like that, There will be light flashing on the body, the deeper the Tao, the brighter the light. I thought that I had read too many books about ghosts and strange tales, and I was fascinated, so I had this fantasy dream. But I saw a real person today, and found that this is really the case. Jia Cong gestured: "The real person has a layer of light shining on him, but it is not as brilliant as the person in the dream. Then, the real person can do magic, but he has not really attained the Tao."

"Brother Cong really knows how to joke, how can such a thing happen!" Ma Daopo refused to agree, and was about to change the topic.

"In my dream, that man also taught me a lot of ways to expose those incompetent people who pretend to be gods and ghosts. I don't know, right? It's better for a real person to help me distinguish." Jia Cong continued: "For example, the sword kills demons, and the caster sprays Put a sip of water on the paper, and the monster will show a hideous appearance, and then chop it off with a sword, the monster will be dripping with blood immediately, and its head will be separated."

"Actually, the caster used a pen dipped in lye water to draw the bloody demon shape in advance, and after drying, the monster shape disappeared; and the water sprayed during the practice was the turmeric water that had been prepared long ago. The turmeric water and the turmeric water When the lye and water touch together, it turns red like blood, and it looks like a bloody demon corpse."

"For another example, the heavenly book reveals the characters. In fact, the wordless heavenly book is written in iodine in advance and dried, and then a layer of starch is sprinkled on it. When the paper is immersed in water, the characters will appear."

"Lamp smoke turns into snake, yes"

"Ghost in the frying pan, yes"

Jia Cong listed all the quack tricks that were popularized by science in his previous life. In this era, superstitious beliefs in ghosts and gods are the norm. Those who can know these secrets can be called professionals with "specialization in art", and they naturally agreed. Keeping these secrets, how can ordinary people know.What's more, Jia Cong is still a young son raised in a deep house in a high gate.This remark made Ma Daopo's face change color, she was very surprised.

"Brother Cong, when you say this, do you mean that the poor are also deceitful people?" Ma Daopo asked in a deep voice, nervous in her tone.

"The real person has too much heart!" Jia Cong said with a faint smile: "If I think the real person is the same, why bother to tell the real person, is it not good to tell the old lady directly? The man in the dream told me that there is a way There is a luster on the human body, and I saw the light on the real person today, so I came to make friends with it."

"Then, I don't know what Brother Cong wants to do?" Ma Daopo tentatively asked.Hmph, Zuo just wants to go to his grandmother and father to fabricate some lies to elevate his status, just like the emperors of all dynasties were born from their mother's dream, when they were born, the sky was full of sunshine, and the purple air came from the east.Hehe, there is already a brother Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion who was born with the title of jade. Could it be that brother Cong also wants to respond to some auspiciousness and prosper his life?The duke's house is really unfathomable, even a small child has such scheming!

"The real person misunderstood me. I don't want the real person to do anything for me. I remember that the person in the dream told me two things, one is bad." Jia Cong said slowly: "I'm afraid it's the uncle of the Lin family who is not good. In my dream, I saw the elder sister of the Lin family wearing white clothes, with a sad expression, standing on the bow of the boat looking back, weeping and crying."

"The other one should be attributed to the elder sister Yuanchun of the second uncle's family. She was radiant in her dream. She was dressed in a magnificent phoenix crown and Xiapei. She was sitting high in a large palace in a magnificent palace. On the flower seat, a group of people knelt in front of her and worshiped respectfully. The pomegranate flowers outside the house were in full bloom, and they were all red. I think that should be a great joy!"

"If the real person mentioned this matter to the old lady first, wouldn't it appear that the real person is a person with great insight, a forerunner, and a great ability. In the future, the old lady and wife will naturally value the real person more, which will be of great benefit."

"Brother Cong, what you said is interesting!" Ma Daopo said in amazement: "You are just having a dream, how can you take it seriously? How could I just say it to the old lady rashly, wrong, the old lady will definitely Blame me! Then how can I have the face to walk into the Rongguo Mansion? No, absolutely not!"

"If a real person is worried, you don't have to speak so carefully, just say that you can see that there is a happy event coming to the Jia family." Jia Cong suggested: "The old lady, the lady will be happy when they hear it. If you don't say it If the fixed time is not fulfilled for a while, it means that the time has not yet arrived. Could it be that they will still chase after and ask questions?"

Jia Cong recalled an article written by Lu Xun, and gave an example: "Real man, for example, if someone gave birth to a son, when everyone goes to congratulate him, they will say that the child must be full of talent when he grows up, and he will be promoted to a noble. It is a great fortune." The guest said Auspicious words, the family will naturally be happy, who will care if these words can be taken seriously in the future?"

"It's like people burning incense and praying to gods and Buddhas. How many people can fulfill their wishes? But people still worship on their knees devoutly, thinking that it is because of their lack of sincerity. Instead, they will burn more incense and take out more money. Come give me silver!" Jia Cong said sarcastically, "That's the way people are, they like to be flattered and hear good things about them."

"Besides, you should have inquired about it. Uncle Lin's illness is serious this time. I'm afraid it's more than auspicious. At that time, the only heir left in the Lin family is Sister Lin."

Jia Cong smiled brightly: "Really, tell me, is this actually a bad thing or a good thing for the old ladies? There are two things, one of which can be met, right?"

Ma Daopo tightly shut her mouth and did not speak, but she was terrified in her heart.Once the master of the Lin family goes, the girl of the Lin family will definitely be taken back to the Jia family.The vast wealth of the Lin family was destined to fall into the pocket of the Jia family.For the Jia family, this is naturally a surprise!How could she not know such a person and the world?But Jia Cong is also a member of Jia's family, but he exposed this veil nakedly in front of her, without showing any sympathy.

"Brother Cong, what do you want me to do?" Ma Daopo couldn't help asking.

"I don't want to do anything now." Jia Cong said calmly: "Maybe in the future, I will have my own plans. But it doesn't do any harm to the real person, does it? If so, why don't the real person give it a try? After a few days, I will naturally know whether the omen in my dream is accurate or not."

Ma Daopo's heart turned a few times, both surprised and suspicious.She knows some sorcery, but Jia Cong actually knows it. Could it be that he really has an adventure?She also demonstrated those methods in the Jianghu in front of the dignitaries in the capital. Once exposed, troubles will come.How should she choose?

Jia Cong's eyes were dark and deep, shining with a cold light, staring closely at Ma Daopo's face.Ma Daopo's heart froze, this is not the expression of a normal child, could it be that he was just an adventure in a dream, and his temper was changed?Suddenly remembered what he said just now, when Brother Cong mentioned Jia's family, there was not much intimacy in his words.Could it be

She smiled and said tentatively: "Brother Cong has put in all this thought, but I don't know if he wants to plan for the Jia family, or for himself?"

"Naturally, I plan for myself." Jia Cong said flatly, "But Daoist, just rest assured, I won't let you do anything difficult."

"Besides, I guarantee that no one in the Jia family will be dissatisfied with you, and no one will come forward to argue for me."

"You might as well go to the old lady today and try to tell the happy event I said. After a while, if it comes true, let's talk about other things."

"I don't use real people in vain. After the work is done, I will be grateful. From then on, I have never had any contact with real people. How does real people feel?"

"Brother Cong, what do you want me to do?" Ma Daopo couldn't help asking.

"It's easy! When the time comes, get a real person"

What?Ma Daopo looked Jia Cong up and down in astonishment: "Brother Cong, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true!" Jia Cong's face was condensed: "The real person can only say whether he wants to or not!"

Ma Daopo calmed down from the trance, and weighed left and right in her heart.She was already arrogant and bold, otherwise she would not have dared to do something to Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu Nightmare Town.Compared with the two of them, Jia Cong is a big bastard, what does it matter if his father doesn't love his mother?What's more, this is Jia Cong's own willingness, and it doesn't cost her anything!

No matter why Jia Cong did this, it has nothing to do with her.If you don't agree, looking at Jia Cong's appearance, I'm afraid that turning around will expose her old background.

The choice is easy to make.Ma Daopo took a deep breath: "Brother Cong, the poor Taoist has accepted!"
