[There is no fever today, only diarrhea remains. Update will be back to normal tomorrow.]
Fork in the road.
If you ask Baoyu why he sheds tears, it turns out that he was temporarily dispatched and accidentally turned against Jia Rong. Jia Rong grabbed him and asked, "I heard that my second uncle's piece of jade has not been found until now."
"
Hearing him ask about the 'psychic jade', Jia Baoyu waved his hand and said: "Then you just throw it away. What's it worth? Don't look for it."
Jia Rong didn't want to but shook his head and said: "Actually, it may not be lost."
"How to say?"
Baoyu suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "Did you hear something?"
"That's not true."
Jia Rong said seriously: "I was just wondering. I could find it no matter where I left it in the past, but why can't I find it completely this time? And if the jade was not lost earlier, why was it that my second uncle sacrificed it with his front feet?
Qin Zhong, that jade has disappeared? Could it be..."
Baoyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said sarcastically: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of it? Jingqing must have taken it away!"
Immediately he sighed: "If Nao Shizi can always be with Mr. Jing on my behalf, it will be his blessing."
Unexpectedly, Jia Rong shook his head again: "If this is true, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."
Baoyu was stunned and quickly asked: "How do you say this?"
"Second uncle, think about it, if he had already been reborn elsewhere, how could he take away the jade from the second uncle? Since he took away the jade from the second uncle, it seems that he has not been reincarnated yet - but he has been dead for three or four years.
Well, this is probably because the obsession is too deep, or because I am entangled in karma and it is difficult to escape."
When Baoyu heard this, his heart was as sharp as a knife, and he chanted "Jing Qing" several times, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes unconsciously.
When Jia Rong saw this, he tried to seduce him while the iron was hot: "Now that all his family members are dead, the only one who can save him from the sea of ​​suffering is his second uncle."
"this……"
Hearing this, Baoyu thought it was reasonable, and hurriedly grabbed Jia Rong and asked, "Tell me, how should I save him?"
"Usually, you either ask someone to perform a spiritual salvation in the Taoist temple, or you set up an incense tablet in the temple to worship at all times."
Baoyu looked troubled when he heard this and said hesitantly: "I was beaten for this before, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold a dojo with great fanfare - what is the meaning of setting up a memorial tablet?"
Jia Rong immediately made a calculation for him with his fingers: "Just set up a memorial tablet in the temple, provide an ever-bright lamp, and ask the monks and Taoists to chant sutras from time to time for salvation. When his obsession karma is gradually resolved, he will naturally be able to
It’s been reincarnated.”
Although Baoyu felt that this was a bit slow, since it was not possible to set up a dojo with great fanfare, he could only settle for the next best thing, so he asked again: "But I don't know where to build it?"
After a pause, he added: "How much money is needed?"
"It's not a lot. One hundred and ten taels was enough at the beginning."
After Jia Rong quoted the price, he saw Baoyu's face looked troubled, and couldn't help but secretly despise him. He thought that Xifu was really in ruins now, and he couldn't even get out such a small amount of money, but he said: "Actually, the main purpose of this money is to get
I heard that you have done a lot of research on this topic recently, and you have also..."
As he spoke, he looked up at the big hat on Jia Baoyu's head.
Jia Baoyu pressed down the brim of his hat with some embarrassment and said sarcastically: "I can't say that I have any research, it's just that I'm interested."
"Second uncle, don't be humble."
Jia Rong said sternly: "Those great monks are just taking money to do things, how can you, my second uncle, be sincere? If you can chant sutras from time to time and be saved, the effect will definitely be stronger than those monks!"
When Baoyu heard what he said, he also felt that this job belonged to him, so he asked again: "Then if I come to recite sutras, I don't know this, this..."
He was ashamed to talk about money again and again, but he was short of money recently and lacked the support of the old lady and Mrs. Wang, so he could only live within his means.
Jia Rong immediately said: "If my second uncle chants sutras, I think it will be done with thirty or forty taels of silver."
Not wanting to hear this number, Baoyu looked bitter again.
"Second uncle can't even bring out thirty or forty taels?"
Jia Rong looked surprised. He didn't expect Baoyu to be so sleepy, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
But thinking of his secret plot, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet and said: "Come on, who made you my uncle? I'll put this money in advance for you - but my second uncle must keep this matter secret.
Don't let me eat it."
Baoyu was overjoyed when he heard this and took Jia Rong to thank him.
It wasn't until Jia Rong couldn't eat anymore and reminded him not to miss the main business that Baoyu remembered that he still had errands to do, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Jia Rong and hurried back to the Grand View Garden.
Watching Baoyu go away, the smile on Jia Rong's face grew stronger, and she thought proudly: I was worried about Aunt Lian's failure last time, but I must not go on a business trip again this time. When Uncle Bao goes to the temple to pay homage to Qin Zhong,
Taking this news with him, he went to pay homage to Second Aunt Bao.
Hehe, Uncle Bao worships a dead ghost, but he worships a fleshly Bodhisattva!
I heard that Uncle Bao and Auntie have never consummated their marriage. If we win, wouldn’t it be ten times better than Auntie Lian?!
Not to mention Jia Rong's wild imagination.
However, Baoyu returned to the Grand View Garden in a hurry, and along the river embankment, he bumped into some servant girls playing with the lanterns on the bank.
When the servants saw him unexpectedly, they were obviously a little panicked. If it were someone else who couldn't protect them, they would be suspicious. However, Baoyu was full of thoughts about saving Qin Zhong, and he saw that the servants were all old and yellow, so they didn't do anything.
After looking at it for a while, he looked away in disgust.
When he was far away, the women let out a sigh of relief, and some of them were timid and said: "It's really scary. I think we should forget it. If someone bumps into us again in this clear day..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Immediately someone came to the side and said, "Second Master Bao is famous for being blind. If you pour out all the lamp oil in front of him, he may not know what we are doing! Besides, we only take a little from each lamp."
"Yes, but this is for welcoming the empress after all."
"Your Majesty will leave in the middle of the night. Once she leaves, who cares whether the river lanterns are on or off? I've heard that, and I won't give you any reward after this!"
"yes!"
The remaining few also complained: "I used to think that these three girls are good, but I don't want to be more unfair than the second mistress Lian! Let's talk about this lamp oil. In the past two years, it was a good product with no smoke and no smell, but now it is better.
, the same smelly kerosene, smells bad and is turbid in color, you can’t even exchange it for three melons or two dates!”
"Isn't that right? I heard that even the candlesticks in the main hall have been replaced with copper-plated iron items this time."
"The new clothes for welcoming you are only made into outer robes!"
"And on the stove..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, quickly get out the lamp oil and put it away. When the queen comes, we will have no time to spare!"
