It is said that Baoyu raised his eyes and saw that King Shuirong of Beijing was wearing a pure white hairpin tassel and silver-winged king hat on his head, wearing a dragon white python robe with five claws sitting on Jiangya sea water, and a jasper red belt. His face was like beautiful jade, and his eyes were like stars.Baoyu rushed up to see him, and Shui Rong stretched out his hand from the sedan chair to hold him.Seeing Baoyu wearing a silver crown with hair tied, strangling two dragons out to sea to wipe his forehead, wearing white python arrow sleeves, surrounded by a silver belt with pearls, his face is like spring flowers, and his eyes are like lacquer.Shui Rong smiled and said: "The reputation is well-deserved, it really is as precious as jade."Because he asked: "Where is the baby in your mouth?"When Baoyu asked, he quickly took it out of his clothes and handed it over.Shui Rong looked at it carefully, and then read the words on it, because he asked: Is the fruit effective?Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Although I said so, I just haven't tried it."On the one hand, Shui Rong said it was strange, on the other hand, he arranged the colorful ribbon, took it with Baoyu himself, and asked Baoyu how old he was and what book he read together.Baoyu agreed one by one.

Shui Rong saw that his speech was clear and eloquent, and he smiled at Jia Zheng, "My son is really a dragon, a colt, and a phoenix. It's not that the little king is rude in front of the old man. In the future, the voice of the young phoenix will be as clear as that of the old phoenix. It's immeasurable."Jia Zheng hurriedly laughed and said: How dare a dog mistakenly accept the gold award.Yu Zhen of Lai Fan County, if he said so, he was also lucky for generations to come.Shui Rong said again: "It's just one thing. If your son is so qualified, I think the old lady and his wife will naturally love him very much; but my younger generation is not suitable for liking him, otherwise he will lose his studies."In the past, Xiao Wang did this kind of thing, so it might not be worse if you think about your son.If it is difficult for your son to study hard at home, you might as well go to Handi often.Although Xiao Wang is not talented, he is often favored by all the famous people in the sea who come to the capital.If your son often goes to conferences and conferences, his knowledge can improve day by day.Jia Zheng hurriedly bowed and agreed.

Shui Rong took off a string of rosary beads from his wrist, handed them to Baoyu, and said: "Today's first meeting, there is nothing to congratulate in a hurry. This is a string of wagtail incense rosary beads given by the Holy One the day before yesterday, as a congratulatory gift."Baoyu quickly picked it up and turned around to serve Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng and Baoyu thanked each other.So Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and others came up together to ask for their return, and Shui Rong said: "The deceased has gone to the fairy world, and he is not a person in the mortal world of you and me."Although Xiao Wang has expressed his kindness to heaven and falsely invited the county to attack, how can he go beyond the immortals?Seeing that Jia Amnesty was determined not to follow, he had no choice but to bid farewell to Xie En and come back. He ordered his subordinates to cover up the music and stop the sound, and finished the funeral in a smooth manner before letting Shui Rong go home.No problem.

Besides, the funeral in Ningfu was very lively.As soon as they arrived at the city gate, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and other colleagues from the sacrificial sheds received the sacrifices, thanked them one by one, and then went out of the city to the road of Tiechan Temple.At that time, Jia Zhen brought Jia Rong to the elders and let them sit in sedan chairs and mount their horses. Therefore, Jia She's generation got into their sedan chairs, and Jia Zhen's generation would also mount their horses.Because Sister Feng was concerned about Baoyu, she was afraid that he would show off in the suburbs and disobey his family's words. Jia Zheng couldn't take care of these trivial matters, lest something slipped and it would be difficult to see Jia's mother, so she ordered her servant to call him.Baoyu had no choice but to come to his car.Sister Feng said with a smile: "My good brother, you are a noble person with the same character as a girl. Don't learn from their monkeys."Come down, the two of us sisters and children will take the car, wouldn't it be good?When Baoyu heard about it, he got off his horse in a hurry and climbed into Sister Feng's car. They came chatting and laughing.

Not for a while, I saw two horses flying over the ground from the other side, not far from Sister Feng's car, they jumped down together, helped the car and said: "There is a place here, grandma, please rest and change clothes."Sister Feng urgently asked Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang for instructions. The man came back and said, "The ladies said there is no need to rest. Let grandma do what she wants."After hearing this, Sister Feng ordered to rest before leaving.After hearing this, all the young men took a shaft horse, diverted from the crowd, and flew away to the north.Baoyu hurriedly asked Qin Xianggong in the car.At that time, Qin Zhong was riding with his father's sedan chair, when he suddenly saw Baoyu's young servant running up and asked him to sharpen.When Qin Zhong looked at it, he saw Sister Feng's car heading north, with Baoyu's horse behind it, with a saddle cage. Knowing that Baoyu and Sister Feng were in the car, he took the horse to catch up and entered the same gate.Some family members drove all Zhuang Han out.There are not many houses in that farmer's house, and the women have nowhere to hide, so they have to go.Those village aunts and women who saw Fengjie, Baoyu, and Qin Zhong's clothes, etiquette and style, wouldn't they like to look at them?

At that time, Sister Feng entered the thatched cottage, and ordered Baoyu and others to go out first to be stubborn.Baoyu and others understood, because they came out with Qin Zhong, and took the boys to wander around.None of the things used by the peasants have ever been seen.When Baoyu saw the shovel, the golden jue, the hoe, the plow, etc., he was all surprised. He didn't know what was used to make it, and what its name was.The little servant told the name and color one by one, explaining the whole story, Baoyu listened, nodded and sighed: "It's strange that the ancients said in the poem, who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard, and that's why."While talking, he went to a room and saw a spinning wheel on the kang. Baoyu asked the boys again: "What is this?"The boys told him the whole story again.When Baoyu heard about it, he came up and twisted it for fun, thinking it was interesting.I saw a village girl about seventeen or eighteen years old running up and yelling: Don't touch it!All the young men hurriedly stopped drinking to stop them.Baoyu hurriedly threw away his hand, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen this before, so I'll give it a try."The girl said: "Where do you know how to do this? Stand up and let me spin for you to see."Qin Zhong secretly pulled Baoyu and said with a smile: "This Qing is very interesting."Baoyu pushed it away and said with a smile, "Damn it!"No more nonsense, and I will fight.As he spoke, he saw the girl spinning the thread.When Baoyu was about to speak, the old woman over there shouted: "Second girl, come here!"When the girl heard it, she left the spinning wheel and went all the way.

Baoyu was disappointed and bored.Sister Feng sent someone to tell him to go in.Sister Feng washed her hands, changed her clothes and shook the ashes, and asked them if they wanted to change.If you don't want to change Baoyu, you have to.The servants at home will bring teapots and cups, brocade drawers, and various snacks with them. Sister Feng will get up and get on the car after they have finished packing after having tea.Outside, Wang'er was going to award a reward to the owner of the village.Mrs. Zhuang waited to kowtow and reward.Sister Feng didn't care, but when Baoyu looked carefully, there were no second girls in the room.After getting into the car for a while, I didn't walk very far when I saw the second girl holding his little brother in her arms, talking and laughing with a few little girls.Baoyu wished to get out of the car and follow him, but it was expected that the crowd would not follow him, so they would see each other off with their eyes.

After a short walk, I still followed the funeral.There has long been a Dharma drum in front of the golden cymbals, and banners and treasure covers: all the monks from the Tiekan Temple have come together.When I was young, I went to the temple, performed another Buddhist ceremony, and reset the incense altar.Anling is in the side room of the inner hall, and Baozhu is in the inner bedroom.Outside, Jia Zhen entertained a group of relatives and friends, some disturbed the meal, some left without eating, and some thanked them for their lack of food. They left together from the princes and uncles to the end of the day.All the guests inside were received by Sister Feng, Zhang Luo. They dispersed first at the order of the official, and then dispersed at noon when there was a big mistake.There are only a few relatives who are close, and they will go to the Anling Dojo after three days.At that time, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang knew that Sister Feng would not be able to come home, so they were going to the city.Mrs. Wang wants to take Baoyu. When Baoyu first arrives in the suburbs, she is willing to go back there, as long as she lives with Sister Feng.Mrs. Wang had no choice but to hand it over to Sister Feng and came back.

It turns out that this Tiekan Temple was originally built by Ning Rong Ergong on that day, and now there are still offerings of incense and land, in case the elderly population in Beijing, they can be stored here cheaply.Among them, both the yin and yang houses have been prepared properly for the souls to live in.I don’t want the population of the younger generations to be prosperous nowadays, among them the rich and the poor are different, or their temperaments are involved in business: there are those who have a difficult and stable family business, so they live here, and those who are ostentatious and rich, just say it’s inconvenient here, they must be in other villages or The nunnery looked for a place to retire after the banquet.Now that the Qin family is in mourning, all members of the family have the right to stay at Tikan Temple, but only Sister Feng thinks it is inconvenient, so she sent someone early to tell Jingxu, the sister-in-law of the Mantou Temple, and vacated two houses to serve as servants.

It turns out that this mantou nunnery is Shuiyue nunnery. Because of the good steamed buns made in his temple, it was named so, not far from Tiekan temple.At present, the monk work class is over, and after drinking evening tea, Jia Zhen orders Jia Rong to ask Sister Feng to have a rest.Seeing that there were still several sisters-in-law accompanying her father, Sister Feng resigned from everyone and took Baoyu and Qin Zhong to Shuiyue Nunnery.It turned out that Qin Ye was too old and sick to be here, so he ordered Qin Zhong to wait for An Ling.Then Qin Zhong followed Sister Feng and Baoyu to Shuiyue Nunnery for a while, and Jingxu led two apprentices, Zhishan and Zhizhi, out to meet him. Everyone has seen it.After Sister Feng came to the clean room to change clothes and wash her hands, she saw that Zhizhi'er had grown taller and looked more exhilarated, so she said, "Why don't you master and apprentice come to us these days?"Jingxu said: But I don't have time these few days, because the son was born in Master Hu's mansion, and his wife sent ten taels of silver to come here, and asked several masters to read the "Blood Pot Sutra" for three days, so busy that there is no time , I didn’t come to invite grandma’s Ann.

Not to mention that the old nun is with Sister Feng.Let's say that Qin Zhong and Baoyu were playing in the hall. Seeing Zhizhi coming, Baoyu laughed and said, "Nenger is here."Qin Zhongdao: "What do you do with that thing?"Baoyu laughed and said, "Don't play tricks. There was no one in the old lady's room that day. What are you doing with your arms around him?"You're still coaxing me now.Qin Zhong smiled and said: This is nothing.Baoyu laughed and said, "I don't care if you have it or not. You just stop him from pouring me a bowl of tea, and then throw it away."Qin Zhong laughed and said: This is strange again, you tell him to fall, are you afraid that he will not fall?Why should I say it.Baoyu said: "I told him to pour it out of heart, not as much as you told him to pour it out with affection."Qin Zhong had no choice but to say: Neng Er, pour me a bowl of tea.That smart child has been walking around Rongfu since he was a child, and everyone knows him, because he often jokes with Baoyu and Qin Zhong.Now that he is older, he gradually understands Fengyue, so he has his eyes on Qin Zhong's romantic character, and Qin Zhong also loves his beauty very much, although the two have not gotten to know each other, they have already hit it off.When Jin Zhi saw Qin Zhong, his eyes were wide open, and he went to pour tea.Qin Zhong laughed and said: Give it to me.Baoyu called: Give it to me!Zhizhi'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'm fighting for a bowl of tea, don't I have honey in my hand!"Baoyu snatched it first, and when he was eating, he was about to ask questions. Zhishan came to ask Zhizhi to set the tea saucer, and he came to invite the two of them to have tea and fruit snacks.The two of them ate these things there, and they still came out to play after sitting down. Sister Feng also sat for a while, then went back to the clean room to rest, and the old nun saw her off.At this time, all the women and daughters-in-law saw that there was nothing to do, so they all dispersed one after another, and went to rest by themselves. There were only a few confidantes and maidservants in front of them, so the old nun took the opportunity to say: I have something to do. Down.Sister Feng asked why.The old nun said: Amitabha!It's just because that day when I first became a monk in Shancai Nunnery in Chang'an County, there was a benefactor named Zhang who was a rich man.He has a daughter named Jin Ge, who came to my temple to offer incense all those years, not wanting to meet Li Ya Nei, the brother-in-law of the Grand Master of the Chang'an Mansion.Then Li Yanei was determined to marry Jin Ge, and sent someone to propose marriage, but Jin Ge had already been hired by the former son of Chang'an's garrison.If the Zhang family withdraws their relatives, they are afraid that the defense will not be followed, so they say that they already have a family.Unexpectedly, Mr. Li was determined to marry his daughter because he insisted on not obeying.I don't want the defenders to hear this letter, and they don't care about the injustice, so they come to abuse and insult, saying that a daughter of Xu's family is not allowed to withdraw the ceremony, so they sue.The Zhang family was in a hurry, so they had to send people to Beijing to find a way out, and they wanted to withdraw the ceremony in a fit of anger.I think that now in Chang'an Jiedu Master Yun is the most compatible with the family, so I can ask my wife to talk to the master, send a letter, and ask Master Yun to talk to the guard, so that I am not afraid that the guard will not obey.If he is willing to do it, the Zhang family is even willing to be filial. Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's not a big deal, but my wife doesn't care about such things anymore."The old nun said: "My wife doesn't care, grandma can also advocate."When Sister Feng heard it, she laughed and said, "I don't wait for money, and I don't do such things."After hearing this, Jingxu dismissed his delusional thoughts and sighed for a long time: "Although so said, the Zhang family knew that I came to beg the mansion, and now they don't care about it. The Zhang family doesn't know that they don't have time to take care of it. They don't want his thanks, but rather It's like the mansion doesn't even have such an idea. When Sister Feng heard this, she became very excited and said, "You know me all the time, and you never believe in the retribution of hell in the underworld. Whatever it is, I will do it if I say it."You tell him to bring three thousand pieces of silver, and I'll take the blame for him.When the old nun heard about it, he couldn't help but say, "Yes, yes!"This is not difficult.Sister Feng said again: "I can't compare with the money they are pulling.The three thousand pieces of silver are just money for the boy who is sent away, so that he can earn some hard money, and I don't want any money from him.Even 30,000 taels, I can afford it now.The old nun quickly agreed, and then said, "Since that's the case, it's fine that grandma will be kind to you tomorrow."Sister Feng said: "Look at how busy I am. Where is I missing?"Now that I have agreed to you, I will naturally end it quickly.The old nun said, "I don't know what to do with this idea in front of others. If it's in front of grandma, it's not enough for grandma to do it all."It's just a common saying that those who are able work harder, and the wife sees grandma's care for big and small things, and the more sexual ones are all pushed to grandma, and grandma should also take care of her body.Sister Feng, who was flattering all the way, became more and more useful, and regardless of fatigue, she started talking. Who would have thought that Qin Zhong would seek wisdom while there was no one else in the dark.As soon as he arrived in the back room, he saw Zhizhi washing tea bowls alone in the room, when Qin Zhong came running and hugged him and kissed him.Zhizhi stomped anxiously and said: What is this!Then I will call.Qin Zhong begged: Good man, I'm dying of anxiety.If you don't follow me today, I will die here.Zhizhi said: What do you want?Unless I get out of this prison and leave these people, I will follow you.Qin Zhongdao: This is also easy, but distant water cannot save near thirsty.As he said that, he blew on the lamp, and the room was completely dark. He hugged Zhizhi to the kang, and it started to rain.Those who are so intelligent that they can't afford to struggle, and they are not easy to shout, have to rely on him.Just when I was having fun, I saw one person come in and hold the two of them down without making a sound.The two of them didn't know who it was, so they dared not move.Hearing the man's sneer, he couldn't help laughing, and the two of them knew it was Baoyu.Qin Zhong got up quickly and complained: What is this?Baoyu laughed and said, "If you don't agree, let's shout."The shy Zhizhi ran away in the dark.Baoyu pulled Qin Zhong out and said, "Are you still fighting me?"Qin Zhong smiled and said: Good man, just don't let everyone know by shouting, I will do whatever you want.Baoyu laughed and said, "It's needless to say at this moment, wait for a while to sleep, and then settle the accounts carefully."It's a season of undressing and resting. Sister Feng is in the inner room, Qin Zhong and Baoyu are in the outer room, and the ground is full of women at home, sitting in the shop.Fearing that the psychic jade would be lost, Sister Feng waited for Baoyu to sleep and ordered someone to bring it to her pillow.Baoyu didn't know what accounts he had calculated with Qin Zhong. He didn't see the truth, and he didn't remember it. This is a suspicious case and he dare not compile it. There was nothing to say all night.In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Jia Muwang sent someone to see Baoyu, and ordered to wear two more clothes, and would rather go back if nothing happened.Where Baoyu is willing to go back, and Qin Zhong is in love with Zhizhi, and instigates Baoyu to beg Sister Feng to stay for another day.Sister Feng thought about it for a while: although all the major funeral ceremonies are done, there are still half of the small things that have not been arranged. You can point out that if you stay here for another day, you will be full of love in front of Jia Zhen; The third is to follow Baoyu's heart. Wouldn't Jiamu be happy when she heard it?Because of these three benefits, he said to Baoyu: "My business is over. If you want to go shopping here, you will have to work hard for a day. You must leave tomorrow."Baoyu heard that Sister Qian and Sister Wan begged: "I will only stay for one day, and I will go back tomorrow."So stayed for another night. Sister Feng then ordered to quietly tell Lai Wanger what happened to the old nun yesterday.Lai Wang'er knew it all in her heart, and hurried to the city to find the husband-in-law of the master, and under the guise of Jia Lian's order, he revised a book and came to Chang'an County overnight.The Jiedu envoy called Yunguang, who had seen Jia's affection for a long time, how could he not allow such a small matter, so he wrote back and Wang'er came back.Not to mention. But she said that Sister Feng waited for another day, and said goodbye to the old nun the next day, and asked him to go to the mansion to ask for letters in three days.Qin Zhong and Zhizhi couldn't bear to be separated in every possible way, and there was no need to describe how many secret agreements they had secretly made, they had to leave with hatred.Sister Feng went to Tiekan Temple to take care of her again.Baozhu insisted on refusing to go home, so Jiazhen had to send a woman to accompany her.See you later.
