Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Besides, Jin Chuan'er committed suicide by jumping into a well, and the whole Rongguo Mansion was full of uproar. Few people didn't know about it, and Jia Zheng, who never took care of family affairs, also heard about it.When Jia Zhengchu heard this, he felt very strange, so he asked a little girl who was sweeping the yard in the mansion.The little girl didn't dare to say anything, so she just shook her head and said, "I don't know the details." When Jia Zheng heard this, he knew that this matter must have something to do with Baoyu, so he was displeased on the face, but also Don't embarrass the little girl, just wave her hand to let the little girl go down.

It just so happened that Jia Huan came over at this time, Jia Zheng thought that Jia Huan was in the mansion all day long, so he might not know about it, so he asked about Jin Chuan.Since Jia Huan was taught riding and archery by Lin Wenfu for two years, even his homework is not bad, and because of this, he looks down on Baoyu who has no skin. After being bullied by the people in the mansion, he had nothing good to say about Baoyu, so he tried to make Baoyu molested Jin Chuan'er, but was bumped into by Mrs. Wang, which made Mrs. Wang furious and kicked Jin Chuan'er out of the mansion. Jin Chuan'er committed suicide by jumping into a well unbearable to be humiliated.

When Jia Zheng heard the words, his face turned pale immediately, and he met Babeile Yinsi on the way back to the mansion. He talked about Baoyu abducting Jiang Yuhan, an actor and actress from Babeile's mansion. That's why Jia Zheng returned home in a hurry today. The matter of Jiang Yuhan.But now I heard about Jin Chuan'er again, and became suspicious of Mrs. Wang's usual words that Baoyu was very motivated after entering school, so she rushed to Jiangyunxuan where Baoyu lived, and ordered the servant to drag Baoyu past board.

The servant girl who served Baoyu on weekdays suddenly panicked. This let the old lady and the wife know that it must be their fault again.Mingyan, the little servant who followed Baoyu on weekdays, was extremely clever. When he saw Baoyu being beaten, he secretly took a look at it and went to report to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard that Baoyu was beaten, they rushed over, and there was another burst of crying.Because Jia's mother threw out the sentence "If you want to beat Baoyu, you must kill me first", so that Jia Zheng dared not do it again, so he could only sigh. On the contrary, the hope of revitalizing Jia's family is placed on Jia Huan and Jia Lan, but these are all things to come, so I won't show them here for the time being.

Hearing that Baoyu was beaten, Yingchun just sighed and ordered Siqi to send Baoyu some sore medicine.But Xichun sneered, and said: "It should have been like this long ago, and let him have a longer memory in the future!" He also heard that Baochai and Xiangyun both went to Jiangyunxuan to visit Baoyu, and couldn't help sneering: "Sister Yun may There is still a bit of sincerity, but Miss Bao, I'm afraid she has other plans."

Although Xichun's words were blunt, they gave a clear picture of Baochai and Xiangyun's thoughts.Xiangyun ate and lived with Baoyu since he was a child, but their relationship with each other is several times better than other people. Once Xiangyun got wet because he made a snowman, but he changed Baoyu's clothes and said with a smile In the future, she will be married to Baoyu as a bride. Others may think that this is a joke made by a child, but they don't think it is Xiangyun's sincere words. Over the years, Xiangyun has always used the excuse that her uncle and aunt treated her poorly, and she wanted to marry her. I came to live in this mansion, but I just wanted to see Baoyu.

Compared with Xiangyun's pure girlish feelings, Baochai's thoughts are much more complicated. If it is true that she has no affection for Baoyu, it is not the case, otherwise she would not come to see Baoyu eagerly, and even brought a The "Lengxiang Wan" that I usually take is given to Baoyu.The Lengxiang pills are powdered with 12 taels of pistils of white peony, white lotus, white hibiscus, and white plum respectively, and are mixed with rain in the rainy season, dew in the white dew season, frost in the frost season, and snow in the light snow season in the same year. 12 Add honey, sugar, etc. to make a pill the size of a longan. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It was a heat poison brought by Baochai's womb. Because many famous doctors were ineffective, a monk with a scarlet head gave it. Overseas fairy prescriptions are not comparable to ordinary mortal medicines, they are very rare.Now Baochai took out the medicine and gave it to Baoyu, which shows his heart.

But Baochai cares more about wealth and glory. In the past two years, she has watched coldly, knowing that the Rongguo Mansion is no longer what it used to be, so more thoughts are on Lin Wenfu, but Lin Wenfu is waiting for him in the Rongguo Mansion. I have been here for two years, and I have met Baochai many times, but I never even glanced at her.This aroused Baochai's anger even more, and she vowed to marry Lin Wenfu. However, she did not completely lose her mind, knowing that she was already at the age of double nine, and could not stand the delay any longer, so she decided to marry Lin Wenfu. Baoyu made a backup choice. If Lin Wenfu is not able to marry, at least he must do his best to facilitate this golden and jade marriage.After all, "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", although the Jia family is not as good as it was before, it still has some power in Baochai's view.

When Baoyu saw that Xiangyun and Baochai both came to visit her, she was very happy in her heart, and she didn't care about her own injury, so she lay down on the bed and joked with Baochai and Xiangyun.I also thought that if Daiyu could also come to see me, it would be a beautiful thing that never existed in heaven and earth. Besides, Daiyu had a sister, Miaoyu, who was not inferior to Daiyu. If Daiyu came Look at yourself, Miaoyu will definitely come too.Thinking of this, Baoyu became dazed unconsciously.

One day later, Ma Daopo, a godmother named by Baoyu, came to Rongguo Mansion to pay her respects.When I saw Baoyu, I was taken aback. Seeing that Mrs. Jiamu and Wang were all around, I asked why. Because I said I was beaten, I nodded and sighed, drew a picture on Baoyu's face with my finger, and murmured in my mouth. He muttered and recited it again, and said, "It's all right to take care of it. This is just a temporary disaster." Then he said to Jiamu, "How did the old Bodhisattva of the ancestors know that the benefits and harms mentioned in the classics and Dharma, Davana King As soon as the sons of Gongqing Xiangren's family grow up, there will be many narrow-minded ghosts following him in secret, pinching him or pinching him when they have time, or knocking him out of his job when eating, or pushing him while walking, so Most of the children and grandchildren of the big family often don’t grow up.”

When Jia Mu heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Is there any Buddhist explanation for this?" Ma Daopo said, "It's easy, just do more good deeds for him. In addition, it is also said in the scriptures that there are A Bodhisattva of great light and universal illumination, who specializes in illuminating darkness and evil spirits, if there are good men and women who worship sincerely, they can protect their children and grandchildren in peace and tranquility forever, and there will be no more disasters caused by terror and evil spirits."

Jia Mu said: "I don't know how to worship this Bodhisattva?" Ma Daopo said: "It's not worth anything, but in addition to offering incense and candles, add a few catties of sesame oil a day and light a sea lantern. This sea lantern, It's the bodhisattva who shows up in the Dharma image and dare not rest day and night." Jia Mu said, "How much oil do you get in a day and a night? Tell me clearly, and I can do this kind of merit."

Hearing this, Ma Daopo laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. The bodhisattvas can give it up as they wish. In our temple, there are several concubines who order to worship: the concubine in Prince Kang's mansion, she promised a lot." , with a big wish, one day is 48 catties of oil, one catty of lamp grass, and the sea lantern is only slightly smaller than the tank, and the order of Tongfu is second-class, only 24 catties of oil a day, and there are a few others that also have five catties. Three catties, one catty, whatever the number. The poor family of the small family can't afford these, even if it's four and a half catties, I have to order for him." Jia Mu listened and nodded in thought.

Ma Daopo said again: "There is one more thing. If it is for parents and relatives, it is better to give up more. If it is like the ancestors who are precious jade now, it is not good to give up too much. I am afraid that my brother will not be able to bear it, which will ruin the blessing. I'm not a housewife, so I want to give it up. The big one is seven catties, and the small one is five catties, that's all." Jia Mu said, "Since you say that, you can get five catties a day, and you will be shut down every month. Go." Ma Daopo recited "Amitabha Bodhisattva of Compassion".Jiamu ordered someone to come and tell: "When Dafan Baoyu goes out in the future, take a few strings of money and give them to his boys to take with him. When he meets monks, monks, and poor people, he will give them up."

After finishing speaking, the Ma Daopo sat down again, then went to each courtyard and room to say hello, and wandered around for a while.When they came to Aunt Zhao's room for a while, the two met. Aunt Zhao ordered the little girl to pour tea with him.Ma Daopo saw that there were some scraps of silk and satin piled up on the kang, and Aunt Zhao was sticking shoes.Ma Daopo said: "But I'm running out of shoe uppers. Grandma Zhao, you have scraps of satin, no matter what color, get me a pair of shoe uppers."

When Aunt Zhao heard about it, she sighed and said, "Look over there, is there any other piece that looks like it? You can't get it into my hands if it's ready! Everything here is here, don't you?" If you don't like it, just pick two pieces." Seeing this, Ma Daopo said, she really picked up two sleeves and stood up.

Aunt Zhao asked: "I sent five hundred dollars the day before yesterday to make an offering in front of the King of Medicine, did you accept it?" Ma Daopo said, "I have already made an offering for you." Aunt Zhao sighed and said, "" Amitabha! As long as I am more calm in my hands, I will make an offering from time to time, but my heart is more than enough." Ma Daopo said: "You just need to rest assured that in the future, when you get older, you will get an official position. At that time How much merit do you want to do?"

When Aunt Zhao heard about it, she laughed in her nose and said, "Come on, let's not talk about it again. It's the same now. Our girls can keep up with the one in this room! It's not that we have Baoyu, but we have it." Huolong. It's the daughter who crawled out of my stomach, and now she's the side Fujin in the uterus, but she doesn't take care of me at all, I'm afraid that her status as a commoner will embarrass her!" Then he said bitterly: "I only regret that I didn't listen to that aunt's words earlier. If I had redeemed myself earlier, how would I have become what I am today? However, I don't blame my wife for manipulating me, I just hate her." Treating Huan'er that way, Huan'er is also the master's son, how could he be bullied in the mansion and be worse than a slave! But if I can do anything, I will let her son experience my son's suffering!"

Ma Daopo heard about it, smiled in her nose, and said for a while: "It's not that I said something evil, you have no ability! ─ No wonder others. If you don't dare to do anything, you can count it in secret, and wait until now!" Aunt Zhao heard Hearing that the words made sense, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, and said, "How do you plan in secret? I mean it, but I don't have such capable people. If you teach me this way, I will thank you very much."

When Ma Daopo heard that the words got together, she deliberately said: "Amitabha! Don't ask me, how do I know these things. It's a sin, a sin." Aunt Zhao said: "You are here again. You are the last Those who are willing to help the needy, can we just watch others come and manipulate us to death? Are you afraid that I won't thank you?"

Ma Daopo heard this, so she smiled and said: "If you say that I can't bear to make your girls suffer, it's okay. If you say thank me, but you have made a wrong plan. It's just that I want you to thank me." What do you have to impress me?" Aunt Zhao felt relieved when she heard this, and said, "You are such a sensible person, why are you so confused. If you really have the method, kill him, tomorrow the private I’m not afraid that it’s not mine, Huan’er. What would you want then?”

Ma Daopo listened, lowered her head, and said for a long time: "At that time, the matter was settled, and there was no evidence, so you still talk to me!" Aunt Zhao said: "It's so difficult. Although I don't have anything in my hand now, I also save it in bits and pieces. There are a few ladders, and a few clothes and hairpins, you can take some first. For the rest, I will write you a deed of money owed, and you will have any guarantor, and I will give you the amount at that time."

Ma Daopo said: "So it is?" Aunt Zhao said: "How can you lie?" Then she called a confidant woman to come and whispered a few words under her ears.The old woman went out, and when she came back, she really wrote a 500 taels owed contract.Aunt Zhao then printed a hand model, went to the cupboard and took out the ladder, looked at it with Ma Daopo, and said, "You take this first to make incense candles as envoys, okay?"

Ma Daopo looked at the white pile of silver, and she owed the deed, regardless of whether it was red or white, she responded with her mouth, stretched out her hand to grab the silver and tucked it away, and then accepted the deed.After digging into the waistband of his trousers for a while, he took out five ghosts with blue face and white hair and a paper doll, and handed it to Aunt Zhao, and quietly taught her: "Write his horoscope on this piece of paper. If you put five ghosts on a person’s bed, it’s over. I’m only doing it at home, and it’s going to be effective. Be careful, don’t be afraid!”

Just as I was talking, I saw Mrs. Wang's maid came in and said, "Grandma is here, my wife is waiting for you." The two of them just broke up.

One day, Baoyu's stick injury was almost healed. After reading two books after dinner, she felt bored, so she leaned against the door and lost her mind for a while. Out of the courtyard.Looking around, there is no one around, only the flowers and willows, the birds and the stream.Baoyu strolled to Jiamu's room, and saw a few girls scooping up water, and they were all taking a bath around the corridor watching thrushes.Hearing laughter in the room, Baoyu went into the room to look. It turned out that Li Wan, Sister Feng, Baochai and Xiangyun were all here. When they saw him coming in, they laughed and said, "Here is another one."

Because Jia Mu asked Baoyu to sit beside her, she asked, "Is your injury better?" Baoyu blushed and nodded, because she said, "I'm well." Mother said: "Old ancestor, my grandson hasn't seen Sister Lin for a long time, so you just send someone to pick her up?" When Jia Mu heard this, she sighed in her heart, but said, "Your sister Lin I went to Chengde Mountain Resort with Shengjia, not in Beijing. Just wait until she comes back, and the ancestors will send someone to pick her up, okay?" Baoyu heard that, although he felt disappointed, he had no choice but to let it go.

Baochai said with a smile: "Sister Lin has to accompany Shengjia to the Chengde Mountain Resort, which is really a great honor. I think it will be the prince or prince Fujin or something in the future, and it will be the icing on the cake. Wealth and glory will be enjoyed." It's endless." Baoyu was not happy when he heard this.When Sister Feng saw her, she smiled and said, "I don't know if Sister Lin will become that Prince Fujin or something, but I know that Sister Bao will be rich and honorable in the future."

When everyone asked why, Sister Feng laughed and said, "Sister Bao has the color of a peony, and she is as beautiful as Concubine Yang. Besides, I heard from Second Master Lian that Sister Bao's house is very close to Babeile's house. With Sister Bao's appearance, He will definitely be spotted by Babeile, won't he be rich and honorable by then?" Baochai felt ashamed when she heard this, so she pinched Sister Feng's mouth with her hand and said, "I didn't make fun of you, but you did." Come on, see if I will forgive you or not!"

Sister Feng hurriedly hid behind Li Wan, and said with a smile, "My sister-in-law saved me." Li Wan then stopped Baochai and said, "Sister Bao, please forgive Feng girl." Shicai's actions violated the usual norm of dignity, so he said with a smile: "Seeing sister-in-law's face, I will spare you!"

Sister Feng asked again: "A while ago I sent a girl to send two bottles of tea. Did you taste it?" How about it?" Baochai said: "The taste is lighter, but the color is not so good." Sister Feng said: "It's a new tribute from the south of the Yangtze River. Sister Lin got some and sent some to our house. It's not interesting for me to taste it, it's not as good as what I eat every day." Baoyu heard that it was sent by Daiyu's order, so he regretted what he said just now, so he didn't interject.

At this moment, Baoyu suddenly gave a "beep" and said, "What a headache!" Everyone only said that Baoyu was frightening himself to play again, and they all laughed and said, "Yes, Amitabha!" At this time, Baoyu shouted: "I'm going to die!" Leaving his body, he jumped three or four feet off the ground, yelling and talking nonsense.Only then did Jia Mu and the others panic.

After a while, Baoyu started to use knives and sticks more and more, looking for death and life, causing a great commotion.When Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang saw it, they shook their clothes and trembled, and wept loudly with the sound of "meat".So everyone was alarmed, including Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zhen, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Yun, Jia Ping, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, and all the daughters-in-law and girls in Zhou Rui's family. They all came to Jia Mu's room to have a look.Immediately, the whole mansion was in chaos.

At the moment, everyone was talking nonsense, some said to invite Duke Duan to send him off, some said to invite witches to dance to the gods, and some recommended Zhang Zhenren from Yuhuang Pavilion, all kinds of noises were different.I have also prayed for healing in every possible way, and asked divination and God, but it was always ineffective.It's like a sunset.The next day Wang Ziteng and his wife also came to see and ask.Then Xiao Shihou's family, Mrs. Xing's brothers, relatives and relatives all came to have a look.

And Baoyu became more and more confused, unconscious, sleeping on the bed, covered in burning coals, and said everything in his mouth.At night, those mothers-in-law and daughter-in-laws dare not come forward.So both of them were carried to Mrs. Wang's upper room, and Jia Yun was sent to guard in shifts with the servants at night.Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Aunt Xue waited for an inch, only crying around.

At this time, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng, who was afraid that his mother would be ruined by crying.Jia Amnesty also went around looking for monks and Taoism.Seeing that it didn't work, Jia Zheng was really annoyed, because he prevented Jia from pardoning him and said: "The number of children is determined by heaven, and it cannot be strengthened by manpower. His illness was unexpected, and all kinds of medical treatments were ineffective. I thought it was God's will, so I had to let it go." Let him go."

Jia Amnesty didn't pay any attention to these words, he was still in every possible way, and there was some effect there.Looking at the three days, Baoyu was lying on the bed, almost out of breath.The whole family panicked, saying that they had lost all hope, and hurriedly prepared the clothes and shoes of Baoyu's descendants.Jiamu, Mrs. Wang, and Xiren are more crying than everyone else, forgetting to eat and sleep, looking for death and life.Aunt Zhao and others made their wish.And Jia Huan had already guessed that Aunt Zhao must have said something to Ma Daopo, that's why Baoyu was like this.But because he didn't want to see Baoyu in his heart, and it was Aunt Zhao who did this matter, if he investigated deeply, Aunt Zhao and himself would be bothered, so he simply pretended not to know, Watching from the sidelines.

On the morning of the fourth day, when Jiamu was crying around Baoyu, she saw Baoyu open her eyes and said, "From now on, I will not be at your house! Pack it up soon, and send me away." Jia Mu listened These words are like removing the heart and liver.

The whole world was turned upside down, and when there was no opening, I could only hear the faint sound of wooden fish, and read a sentence: "Nan Wujie Bodhisattva. If there are people who are unfavorable, whose houses are overturned, or encounter danger, or be caught by evil spirits, we will be kind to you." It can be cured." Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang heard these words, but she was still patient there, so she ordered someone to come in quickly.Although Jia Zheng was not at ease, but Jia Mu's words were so disobedient. Thinking of such a deep house, how could he hear it so sincerely?

When everyone looked up, it turned out to be a monk with a scarlet head and a crippled Taoist.See what the monk looks like: his nose is like hanging gallbladder, his eyebrows are long, his eyes are like stars with precious light, his worn-out sandals have no trace, and his head is full of sores.

What does that Taoist look like: one foot is tall and the other is low, covered in water and mud.If you meet and ask where is your home, it is in the west of Ruoshui, Penglai.

Jia Zheng asked, "You two fellow Taoists are burning and repairing in that temple." The monk laughed and said, "You don't need to talk too much, sir. I heard that the population in the house is not good, so I came here to treat you." Jia Zheng said: "Instead A dog is besieged by an evil spirit, I wonder what talisman water you have?" The Taoist said with a smile: "You have rare treasures in your family, why ask us if we have talisman water?"

Jia Zheng heard this interesting, and his heart moved, because he said, "although my son brought a piece of precious jade down when he fell into the grass, it said it could get rid of evil spirits, but it didn't work." The monk said, "sir, how do you know that thing?" It is just because it is now bewitched by sensuality and money, so it is not effective. You take it out now, and wait for us to recite and recite it, I am afraid it will be fine."

When Jia Zheng heard about it, he took the jade from the treasure jade item and handed it to the two of them.The monk took it over, held it in his palm, and said with a long sigh: "It's been thirteen years since I left Qinggeng Peak! The time in the world is so fast, and the world is full of the sun, as if you snapped your fingers! I envy you at that time That benefit:

The sky is unconstrained, the earth is unconstrained, and there is neither joy nor sorrow in my heart,

However, after practicing psychic training, he looked for right and wrong in the world.

I am sorry for your experience today:

The rice is stained with grease marks and the precious light is polluted, and the Qilong is trapped day and night.

Shen Hanyi must wake up from his dream, and the injustice will be paid off, and the show will be over! "

After reading it, he fiddled with it again, said some crazy words, and handed it to Jia Zheng: "this thing is already alive. It should not be desecrated. It should be hung on the upper threshold of the bedroom. Put him in a quiet room. Except for his own wife and mother, no one should be desecrated." Let the Yin people attack. After 33 days, I will guarantee my health and return to the old days." Then he turned his head and left.

Jia Zheng hurried to talk, let the two sit down and have tea, and wanted to give a thank you gift, but the two of them had already gone out.Jiamu and the others are still just chasing people away, but there is a trace there.It is necessary to put the two of them in Mrs. Wang's bedroom according to the words, and hang the jade on the door.Mrs. Wang personally guarded and did not allow anyone else to come in.

In the evening, Baoyu gradually woke up, saying that she was hungry.Jiamu, Mrs. Wang, as if she had found a treasure, immediately boiled rice soup and ate it with Baoyu. The spirit gradually grew, and the evil spirit retreated a little, so the whole family was relieved.Li Wan, Xiangyun, Baochai and Xiren listened to the news outside.He smelled so much that he ate rice soup, which saved manpower, so he felt relieved.
