The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Chapter 17 Ma Daopo's Means
She coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention, and then said: "My brother has an extraordinary background, but he is young, so he is easy to attract those evil spirits. If it weren't for that Baoyu's protection, I'm afraid he would have been caught by the evil spirits long ago." To be watched.

Now this evil spirit can take advantage of that opportunity, perhaps it is because Baoyu was taken down. "

Others may not know it, but she heard what Aunt Zhao said, that the Second Master Bao would throw jade if he didn't like it, and she was right.

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, everyone immediately thought of Jia Baoyu's incident of throwing jade on the day Jiusi came.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that this matter had nothing to do with Jiu Si, they couldn't help but blame Jiu Si for this matter. Who told Jia Baoyu to drop the jade because of her!
Seeing this, Jiusi couldn't help but sneered, got up, took Daiyu and left.

At this time, Mrs. Jia was worried about Baoyu's condition, so she didn't care about them, so she hurriedly asked the Ma Daopo, "Is there any way to solve this?"

Ma Daopo said: "It's easy, just do more good deeds for him.

It is also said in the scriptures that there is a Bodhisattva of great light and universal illumination in the west, who specializes in illuminating the dark and evil spirits. If there are good men and women who worship sincerely, they can bless their children and grandchildren forever, and there will be no more evil spirits. "

The old lady could not help believing what she said, and then asked, "I don't know how to enshrine this Bodhisattva?"

When Ma Daopo heard her question, her eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly explained to her: "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 is the image of the bodhisattva, who dare not rest day and night. "

After hearing this, the old lady said, "I don't know how much oil I got this day and night. I'll do a good deed too."

Seeing this, Ma Daopo knew that the matter was done, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how much it is, it depends on the benefactor's wish, like our family, there are several princesses ordering to worship it!
The concubine in the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, she made a big wish, 48 catties of oil and a catty of light grass a day, and the sea lantern was only slightly smaller than the tank.

Jin Tianhou's order is second-class, only 24 catties of oil a day.

There are also several shops that have five catties, three catties, one catty, and two catties, regardless of the number, and order for them. "

When the old lady heard that there were so many people, including the concubine of Nan'an Qun's palace, Jin Tianhou and others, she became even more sure that she was capable.

Ma Daopo then said: "There is one more thing. If it is for parents and relatives, you might as well give up more. If it is like the ancestors who are precious jade now, if you give up too much, I am afraid that my brother will not be able to bear it, which will reflect the blessing.

If you want to give up, the big one is seven catties, and the small one is five catties, that's all. "

Hearing what she said, the old lady gave up her original idea of ​​comparing herself to Concubine Nan'an, and said instead: "Since this is the case, I will only beat five catties a day, and I will be locked up every month."

Ma Daopo heard the words, said "Amitabha Buddha, the Great Bodhisattva of Compassion", and agreed.

The old lady thought for a while, and then told Wang Xifeng: "In the future, whenever Baoyu goes out, I will give a few strings of money to his boys, and give alms to monks and poor people along the way, so as to add more blessings to Baoyu."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she had no answer.

When Ma Daopo saw that the benefits were in hand, she didn't delay any longer. She took out her food from the bag she was carrying, and started her practice. Immediately afterwards, she cut out another paper figurine and burned it, chanting After a while, it stopped.

After her practice was over, Jia Baoyu woke up slowly, as if he didn't know what Xixi was, and Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang burst into tears again.

Passing the crutch in her hand to Yuanyang who was standing beside her, the old lady sat behind the bed and hugged him with heart-warming cries, causing the other people present to cry again.

The ancestors of the Jia family didn't cry anymore, they couldn't do without crying, and there were those who couldn't cry, even if they pretended, they had to put on a show, right?

Seeing that everyone in the room was like this, Ma Daopo twitched her lips secretly, and then came out of the room, and then found a little maid, who took her to Aunt Zhao's place.

She was acquainted with Aunt Zhao, seeing her coming, Aunt Zhao hurriedly ordered the little girl to pour tea for her.

Aunt Zhao was gluing shoes at this time. Seeing some scraps of silk and satin piled up on the kang, Ma Daopo smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have no shoe uppers. Aunt and grandma, you have scraps of silk and satin, regardless of color. Allow me to make some." Put on a pair of shoes."

How can Aunt Zhao not know what kind of person she is, but she has something to ask her, so she sighed and said: "Look at that, is there any other piece that looks good?
What kind of person am I on the table? If you have good things, you can’t get to me. If you don’t think the things are bad, just pick two yuan and go. "

Ma Daopo was waiting for her words, and when she heard her answer, she quickly picked out two pieces of good material and tucked them into her sleeves.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao didn't say anything, and instead asked her: "I sent someone to you the day before yesterday to give you five hundred coins, did you make a confession in front of the King of Medicine?"

Ma Daopo won the benefits, so she would not neglect her, and said: "I have already made an offering for you, so you can rest assured."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao sighed and said, "Amitabha!
It's good if you make the offering. I'm as calm as I can be, and I'll make the offering from time to time. It's just that I have more energy than I want, so I hope you can take it easy. "

Just like her, Ma Daopo comforted her and said: "Just don't worry, Brother Huan will grow up and get a half-job in the future. At that time, how much merit you will do, are you afraid that you won't be able to do it?"

When Aunt Zhao heard what she said, she snorted and said, "Come on, let's not talk about it.

It's like this now, which one of us women can keep up with, it's not that we have Baoyu, but we have got a living dragon. He is still a child, and he looks good. It's okay for adults to favor him. I just don't agree This master. "

While speaking, he stretched out two fingers to make gestures with Ma Daopo.

Ma Daopo understood, and asked, "But Nalian's second grandma?"

Aunt Zhao saw that she had no scruples, so she shook her hands in a hurry, went to the door again, lifted the curtain and looked out, but seeing no one around, Fang came in and whispered to Ma Daopo: "It's amazing, it's amazing, Speaking of this master, if I don't teach her to move this part of the family to her mother's house, I'm not alone!"

Seeing her saying this, Ma Daopo guessed that she had other ideas, so she tentatively said: "I still need you to say, don't I see that it's not working? It's also because you don't care about her in your heart, just let her go, but it's okay." good."

When Aunt Zhao saw her talking, she knew that there was something interesting in her mind, so she said: "My mother, if you don't let her go, who would dare to do anything to her?"

After hearing this, Ma Daopo said: "It's not that I said something sinful. You are incompetent yourself. Don't blame others. You dare not deal with her on the surface. Could it be that you can't count on her in secret? You have waited until today. It's no wonder that she is so rampant that she doesn't take you seriously."
