Enemies in the Red Chamber

Since returning from the Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu and her siblings have felt cleaner than before, and they are friendly and happy in school. Sometimes Daiyu even cooks a few small dishes and snacks for entertainment.

On this day, I had already accepted Wu Lin's post, saying that it was her big things and many things were transported to Beijing from the West Sea, and I asked everyone to go and see what they liked, so as not to worry about it. Sending out is not satisfactory, and it also means returning the table.Before he finished washing, someone came to report that Baoyu was ill.

Daiyu hurriedly wrote the post first, and added a few baskets of melons and fruits just shipped from the south, and asked someone to send it to Wu Lin.Then ask someone to come in and ask carefully: "It's not the weather that's suddenly cold and then warm, why are you sick? Is it serious?"

It was Ziyan who came in.Zijuan came to Lin's mansion with the two big maids given by the old lady, and Ziyan stayed in Songzhuxuan to watch the house and also take care of the messenger.Ziyan replied: "It's not the disease, it's the hot oil that scalded the face. The uncle and wife of the Wang family also went to see it. I thought it would be bad if the young lady didn't go, so I came to report to the young lady."

Daiyu was very surprised when she heard this. Baoyu has always been a baby-like figure, so why did she burn her face.

Ziyan didn't know very well, and said vaguely: "I heard that it was scalded on the face. Many people went to see it, but they didn't know how it was scalded. The woman who cleaned her mouth said that she heard it vaguely, as if It's related to Master Huan and a maid." Ziyan is much better now than she was at the beginning, Songzhuxuan's masters are not here, and she dare not go out to play wildly, so she closes the door and guards the yard every day. Or just go home and have a look, usually not much.

Of course Daiyu wanted to have a look, and even brother Liu told her husband that she was on leave, and followed her on horseback.

When passing by the gate, I met a monk who was invited in together. I saw their siblings' chariots and horses, saluting from a distance.Daiyu lifted the corner of the curtain, and saw that the monk was wearing a tattered cassock and straw sandals with sores all over his head, and the Taoist priest was also in tattered clothes with one foot high and the other foot low, very much like the one in Yangzhou that Jia Min and Lin Haikou said in the past. two people.Brother Liu frowned and snorted coldly. After Daiyu nodded in greeting, she said "Let's go" and put down the curtain.

After entering the inner courtyard, Daiyu asked the woman who was welcoming the guests: "Where are you going? Or go and see the old lady first."

The woman wiped her eyes and said: "The old lady is at Baoyu's place. The girl and brother are here, so let's go there quickly. At any rate, they say it's useless to meet you. Everyone is here."

Brother Daiyu Liu and the maid who served were startled, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, why is it useless? Didn't you just get burned in the face by hot oil?"

That old woman was just an outsider, how could she know the details, she just said: "It was scalded with hot oil, and then they shouted and killed for some reason. Ready."

When the two siblings heard that it was okay, they hurriedly took people to the Grand View Garden, entered the garden and went straight.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the voice of the old lady yelling at someone who was going to be killed and the voice of Mrs. Wang crying.Entering the door, sure enough, the girls, men, grandma and wives are all there, with tears in their eyes, only Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan's mother and son are showing joy, standing in a group of people is extremely unsuitable.

Daiyu just said, "What's wrong with Baoyu?" Baoyu stood up suddenly and stared at Daiyu, with an erratic voice, and said, "You are not her. You only have a shape but no soul. She has neither Come on, I've come here in vain." He said again: "From now on, I won't be at your house! Pack it up, send me away." After speaking, he threw his head back and lay back on the bed straight.

The old lady probed for his breath with trembling hands, but only breathed out but not inhaled. She let out a piercing wail, and beat her chest hard, "Nie Zhan, Nie Zhan! My precious jade..." Mrs. Wang's legs were soft, and she threw her whole body On the maidservant, she couldn't even stand firmly, and she didn't come up in one breath and whipped over.Li Wan hurried over to wait on him, wondering if he remembered Jia Zhu's death and cried uncontrollably from it.

When Daiyu heard about it, she almost didn't come up in one breath.She remembered that when she was reincarnated, she seemed to vaguely heard something that replaced the language of the lower realm.I don't know if Baoyu's illness today is really due to this.

Brother Liu squinted his eyes to see the reaction of the crowd, the way these people looked at Daiyu was really disgusting, as if Baoyu is now like this all because of Daiyu.With a sweeping glance, he saw Xue Pan in the corner, staring at Daiyu like a hungry dog ​​staring at a meaty bone, so stunned that his saliva was about to flow down, it was even more disgusting.

At this time, before the old lady and Jia Zheng could react, the monk came in together and shouted at Baoyu: "You still haven't woken up!" Stretching out his hand to probe his breath, he has already moved in and out smoothly.The old lady was overjoyed immediately, and said: "Two masters, save my Baoyu quickly, and just tell me what kind of things to use for religious ceremonies!" Mrs. Wang also woke up and echoed her voice repeatedly.

The monk said to Jia Zheng: "The girls in this room stay with their relatives, and the others leave first."

Of course, there is no objection to this statement, and no one left immediately, leaving only the old lady, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai, Xiangyun, Daiyu, and Xiren Qingwen to wait on her. maid.

The monk said to Daiyu: "Please go out of the gate of this courtyard, girl, first walk 99 steps to the south, stand still, and then walk 99 steps to the east. During this period, don't talk and don't look back. Pick the flower under your feet and take it the same way." return."

Everyone was curious about what to do if there were no flowers in that place, but they didn't dare to say anything.Tanchun got up and accompanied Daiyu out, Daiyu didn't speak and Tanchun helped to count the steps, first walked 99 steps to the south, then 99 steps to the east, and sure enough a flower stood there alone in front of the toes, light blue through Transparent, surrounded by a layer of mist, the shape of the flower is like Lanfeilan, if there is no fragrance, it is not like a worldly thing.Daiyu saw it kindly, and when she took it in her hand it was as cold as a jade stone, and she went back the way she came.

Seeing Daiyu come back with such a thing, everyone was amazed. Knowing that the monk in front of them is a real expert, they couldn't help but feel more awe, and even breathe a little less.

The Taoist said again: "Bring the brazier, and bring the rare treasure of your son." When Jia Zheng heard this, he personally invited out the psychic jade that Baoyu was born with.Musk Moon hurriedly prepared the brazier.The Taoist put the flower and the psychic jade into the brazier. Before the flower fell, it turned into a wisp of green smoke as soon as it touched the flames. The jade returned to the Taoist automatically, and the Taoist put the psychic jade again To Baoyu's pillow.Just listen to Baoyu muttering to himself: "It's okay, you will come to me in the next life!" The monk said: "The law of heaven is reincarnated, and the debts owed will always be repaid. Don't worry." I was quite frightened.

The Taoist said again: "This jade has to be matched with gold, so it can be called a perfect marriage. Hang it in the tent for seven to forty-nine days, don't let the pickled things wash it, and this dementia will be cured."

When Mrs. Wang heard of the golden and jade marriage, she didn't care about concealment and face, and hurriedly took out Baochai's golden lock and asked, "Can you make it?" The monks and Taoists nodded in unison.Baochai's face was flushed at this time, and she lowered her head to hide her expression.Xiangyun caressed his golden unicorn, tears rolled in his eyes.Even though the old lady wanted Baoyu to match Xiangyun with all her heart, at this time Mrs. Wang could no longer nail or rivet the unicorn of Xiangyun and acquiesced to the golden lock.

After speaking, the two shouted the Buddha's/Taoist's name again, drifted away, and disappeared after a while.Everyone praised the master again, and then it was over.

Seeing that this matter was related to gods and Buddhas, Jia Zheng knew that the children in the family might have a real origin, which is rare even in legendary novels, so he dared not spread the word to the city.When the attacker hung the psychic gem and the golden lock together on the tent on the top of Baoyu's bed, he said sharply, "Be sure not to miss a single word about today's affairs!" He also thanked Daiyu, Xiangyun and Baochai. Everyone dare not speak.

It didn't take long for Baoyu to wake up and sit up, and the next day he was able to drink some millet porridge and eat some chicken cakes.I am so happy that the old lady and Mrs. Wang are more advocating Buddhism and Taoism.

Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth in hatred, "Why didn't he die!"

It turned out that this matter was still the same as it was originally destined, and Aunt Zhao was still involved.Although Sister Feng has left, and she didn't rape Aunt Zhao because of being close to Mrs. Wang earlier, what should have happened still happened.Mrs. Wang has a better temper than before, and after Baoyu's face was scalded with hot oil, she scolded Aunt Zhao even more severely.Aunt Zhao's jealous heart was all on Baoyu, and she also remembered that there were only these two boys in the second room. If Baoyu really died, Brother Huan would rule the world.When Ma Daopo entered the mansion, after all, Ma Daopo bribed Ma Daopo to get a talisman paper and a few little ghosts, secretly doing it.It was also the disaster of that day.

It's just that it's really hard to tell whether it's a blessing or a curse.After that, when Baoyu saw Daiyu again, he lost the sense of intimacy he used to have. He was no different from Tanchun and the others, and got along quite comfortably.So Daiyu no longer avoids him very much, and Baoyu treats girls more carefully and kindly than others, and after a long time, she really develops a little affection for her.

And among the big girls who were there that day, except for Qingwen, who were still a little bit dissatisfied, the others already thought that Baochai was the future second grandmother of Baochai, and they flattered her openly and secretly, and treated her more attentively than others. few.No matter how unconvinced Xiangyun could only admit it, she went home within a few days, and then she didn't come for two or three months. She said she was sick, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that she was discouraged.

What makes people laugh and cry is that Jia Yuanchun's plan really has such a meaning. When Xue Pan saw Daiyu that day, he took her to heart.

In Aunt Xue's heart, her son is naturally the best, but even so, she also knows that the identities of the two are not compatible. People like them always pay attention to the right family, even if they are not well-matched, the man is more than the woman. Even if Ziwei Sheren is the head of the family, Xue Pan is not worthy of Lin Ruhai's eldest daughter.

Baochai naturally understands this truth, but Xue Pan is the kind of person who insists on not giving up. He makes troubles all day long, and Baochai, who is so noisy, is upset.Finally said to Aunt Xue: "Our family and aunt's family are inseparable. If my brother has a capable father-in-law, it is also a good thing. Although our family is inferior, if aunt or mother-in-law comes forward, there is no room for relaxation. If you don't want to go and tell your aunt, if it doesn't work, it's fine. If it succeeds, it will be considered a fulfillment of brother's wish. At that time, maybe brother will know that he has made progress."

Aunt Xue thought about it too, but she just said that it would be better if it is done, and there is no hindrance if it is not done.So I found a chance to tell Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang agreed, and remembered how the old lady was pushing back when she told the old lady, so she wrote a letter directly and handed it to Jia Min.In the letter, the words about Baoyu's appointment to Baochai were thorough, and the wealth of the Xue family was exaggerated many times, and it was clearly stated that this was the meaning of the virtuous concubine in the palace.

When Jia Min received the letter and read it, he was so angry that he had a headache, so he didn't show Lin Hai to read it, and replied immediately.In the letter, she didn't give Madam Wang any face, so she scolded Madam Wang in the letter, saying that my daughter's marriage is decided by her parents, and even if the parents die, it will not be your second aunt's turn.He also said that Jia Yuanchun was just a concubine, so what qualifications did he have to interfere in the marriage of the minister's daughter? Did he want to be the empress dowager?No matter how much she scolds the Xue family for wanting to eat swan meat, she dares to miss her daughter once she settles down.Anyway, it's how it sounds, how it comes out, how it comes out.

Mrs. Wang almost fainted when she received the letter, Jia Min actually scolded the Jia family, the Xue family, the Wang family and even the Xiande concubine, how dare she!
