The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 189
The next day.

As soon as Jia Jing came back from the camp, Jia Zheng sent someone to invite him.

It is said that the concubine Xian in the palace sent someone to visit after hearing about Jia Baoyu, and at the same time invited Jia Jing and his wife to go over and talk.

So, Jia Jing simply cleaned up, and together with Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, they drove to Rongguo Mansion.

When I arrived at Rongqing hall, I saw Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and others all there.

Sitting at the head of the main hall, apart from Mother Jia, there was also a middle-aged eunuch in blue-gray clothes. When Jia Jing came in, she was sitting on the chair at the head, drinking hot tea.

Seeing Jia Jing coming in, he couldn't help being excited, he hurriedly got up from the chair, came to Jia Jing, bowed respectfully, and said: "The villain pays his respects to Lord Hou!"

"Eunuch, don't be too polite!"

Jia Jing stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile, "I don't know what to call my father-in-law?"

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "The villain is in charge of gold and silver, the current eunuch in charge of the Fengzao Palace, every order from the concubine Xian will be conveyed out of the palace by the villain in the future."

Jia Jing laughed and said, "So, from now on, I will have to trouble my father-in-law a lot."

"Don't be troublesome. It's my honor to be able to serve me!"

Bao Jinyin hurriedly bowed again and said, "If Master Hou has something to do, you can just tell the villain..."

Beside, Mrs. Wang saw Bao Jinyin's respectful appearance, a bit of unwillingness flashed across her face.

But it was because Mrs. Wang lost the right to be in charge of the family, and suddenly fell from the core of Rongguo Mansion in the past. It was difficult for her to accept it for a while. In addition, Wang Xifeng was always strong and wanted to take care of everything. Everything is in the palm of your hand.

In this way, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel even more uncomfortable, and she felt like she was restrained in everything, and she felt even more resentful towards Jia Jing and Jia Lian, who had taken away the power of her family.

This time Bao Jinyin followed Yuanchun's order to visit Jia Baoyu in Jia's mansion.

Originally, Madam Wang thought that Bao Jinyin was the chief eunuch in charge of Fengzao Palace in Yuanchun. If she could suppress the arrogance of Jia Lian's family and then give her own hand, then the situation of the Second Household in Rongguo Mansion would be different.

After all, Bao Jinyin now represents Yuanchun, and the meaning of a favored concubine in the palace, naturally no one dares to underestimate it.

It's just that Mrs. Wang's eyelids are shallow, but gold and silver are not!
How could Bao Jinyin be that kind of brainless person who was able to climb from a small eunuch to the position of chief eunuch in charge of Fengzao Palace step by step in the palace?

It is true that Concubine Xian is being favored, but the bottom line is that it is because of Marquis Zhaowu in front of her.

Inside the twists and turns, Bao Jinyin's heart is like a bright mirror!

Not to mention Mrs. Wang's complexion is rather ugly because her own ideas have failed.

Jia Jing asked again: "The concubine Xian sent the father-in-law to visit Baoyu this time, but do you still have other orders?"

Bao Jinyin said in a respectful voice: "Back to Lord Hou, the empress told me before ordering the villain to leave the palace that if the Lord Hou's house is free, she would ask the wife and a few young ladies to go around the palace often, and talk to the concubine Xian and the mother-in-law. !"

Hearing Bao Jinyin's words, Jia Jing nodded and said: "After the father-in-law returns, thank the concubine Xian for me. If he is free, he will definitely go to the palace to see him!"

Bao Jinyin nodded yes.

Hearing that even Yuan Chun in the palace wanted to show his kindness to Jia Jing so much, Mrs. Wang's expression turned ugly again.

But because of Jia Baoyu's illness, Mrs. Wang has gradually lost her sense of proportion.

……

After a while, after seeing Jia Baoyu who was bound on the bed, Bao Jinyin hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the palace to return to his command.

And just when Jia Jing was about to take Daiyu Baochai and the others back to the mansion, suddenly a maid came to report outside, saying: "Old Ancestor, Second Master, a monk came to the door together, saying that he could cure the family in our mansion." The population is unfavorable, the house is uneasy, and evil spirits are in danger."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly said: "Then why don't you go and quickly invite two masters to come in and have a look!"

The servant girl took the order and went.

Jia Zheng couldn't help but said: "It's God's will to be left and right, why does mother bother to go to such trouble? Thinking about real monks and so on, we hired more than one or two, aren't they all useless? Let's talk outside These two self-recommended people, I’m afraid they got the news somewhere to fight the autumn wind!!”

"Why did the second master say that?"

Jia Zhen persuaded: "Just try it out, it's okay. They say that there are many strange people in the folk since ancient times. What if these two are it? If you can take the initiative to find the door, I think you are somewhat sure!"
Even if it doesn't work, you can still give a few liang of silver, and you can be regarded as doing a good deed and accumulating blessings for Baoyu! "

Hearing Jiazhen's words, Jia's mother nodded again and again and said, "That's exactly the reason!"

After all, he is the son of a direct relative. Although Jia Zheng has been consoling Jia's mother, saying that the number of children has long been destined by destiny and cannot be forced by human power, in the final analysis, he still cares about Baoyu in his heart.

Hearing Jia Zhen's analysis at this time, Jia Zheng couldn't help but kindled a glimmer of hope again, how could he sit still?
……

But Jia Zheng was fidgeting there, waiting for a monk to come to treat Baoyu together, and because outsiders were about to come in, all the female relatives, led by Jia Mu, went to the back room to take shelter temporarily.

After a while, a monk outside was led in by Lai Da.

Everyone looked, but they saw a monk with a scarlet head and a lame Taoist.

Looking carefully, even though the monk was wearing ragged straw sandals and was covered with scabies, his eyes were burning, he was very unusual.

There is a poem saying:
The nose is like hanging gallbladder, the eyebrows are long, and the eyes are like stars with precious light.

There is no trace of the broken mans shoes, and there is a sore on the pickle.

Then there was the Taoist man leaning on a bamboo stick, dirty and shabby, with legs that were one high and one low. Although he was lame and sloppy, he had an air of elegance.

There is also a poem that says:

One foot is high and the other is low, and the whole body is covered with water and mud.

If you meet and ask where is your home, it is in the west of Ruoshui, Penglai.

……

Jia Zheng looked at a monk and a monk who were gradually approaching, and because of their extraordinary demeanor, he couldn't help believing what Jia Zhen had said about strange people and strangers.

Immediately, he hurriedly asked the boy to invite the monk and Taoist to the house.

Then, Jia Zheng asked: "Dare to ask the two masters, which mountain do you practice on?"

Neither of them answered.

After a while, the monk with a scarlet head waved his hand and said with a smile: "My lord, you don't need to talk too much, and you don't need to find out where we came from. Because there is someone in the magistrate's house who is in trouble, we are here to treat you."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he had no choice but to let go of his curiosity.

He said again: "It is true that there is someone in the family who is not so safe, as if he has been infected by an evil spirit, and I have to trouble the two masters to help him heal!"

Both the monk and the Taoist nodded, and said: "Cure and save people is the purpose of my two trips, so I don't need to repeat it. But the ugly thing is first, after I cure the person, your government will promise us A merciless request..."
