Chapter 9 The Ninth Tai'an Temple overthrew Ping'an and made Shuiyue Temple overthrow the Fengyue case

It is said that Mrs. Wang had a dream because she was tossing and turning in the night. She saw Jia Yuanchun holding an infant baby in her arms, saying goodbye to herself with tears on her face, and said: "My daughter wants to be good, but there is a definite number of good fortune and longevity. Unexpectedly, I have encountered such an unexpected disaster. Now I am going to cancel my account at the Jinghuan Fairy. From now on, I will go to a different path, and I will never see my mother again, so I come to say goodbye. I also hope that my mother will take care of her body and not think of her daughter. Therefore, we must take our daughter as a warning: stop blindly seeking perfection, step back from now on, and look away, and you can still live in peace for a few years. Otherwise, catastrophe will be imminent. To prepare for the rebirth of parents, to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, now that we are separated forever, we can no longer show filial piety." As he spoke, he cried and prayed.

Mrs. Wang was frightened, and when she was about to stop and ask carefully, she was in vain. She knew it was a dream, and her heart sank.Now I hear Jia's mother say that she also dreamed of Yuanchun, and she feels even more uncomfortable.When I came back and talked to Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng only advised, "This is why you miss your daughter day and night. In fact, what is the reason?" Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Zheng hated these false talks, so she refused Besides. When she got up the next day, Mrs. Wang went to the temple to offer incense. Jia Zheng washed up and put on his crown and went to court.Unexpectedly, when they came to the hall of the Ministry of Rites, the first thing they discussed was the case of rebellion against bandits in Ping'an Prefecture.It turned out that the emperor and his entourage encountered bandits robbing the road when they were going to the Spring Wai of Tienwang Mountain and passing through the border of Ping'an Prefecture. If they are scattered, they will all be defeated.However, there were casualties among the officers and soldiers, and even the horses were frightened and fled in all directions. The car in which Concubine Yuan was riding rolled down the mountain, and a wisp of her soul disappeared.The emperor caressed the corpse and cried for a while, but he had no intention of doing it now, so he left dozens of his own soldiers to take care of the funeral, unravel the wooden coffin, and bury it with the concubine Yuan. But you can return to the palace in three or two days.

They discussed all the matters of welcoming and comforting the king, and then harassed Jia Zheng.When Jia Zheng heard the news, his three souls had already been blasted away, and he didn't know how to respond. When he came out of the palace gate, he couldn't get on his horse again and again, so he had to order someone to bring a sedan chair and cry all the way back to the house.Get off the sedan chair in front of the door, even order your family to remove the lights to remove the red, hang up the cloud flags, and don't care about passing the news, go straight to Jia Mu's upper room, enter the door, cry and fall to the ground, kneeling on the matter of Concubine Chen Yuan.When Jia Mu heard this, she exclaimed in shock: "My house is over!" She leaned back.Sister Feng, Yuanyang and others shouted around and rubbed it with medicinal oil in a hurry. Mrs. Wang had been crying for a long time, and she was in a daze.Jia Zheng regretted that his words were so preposterous and alarmed his mother, but at this moment he couldn't care less, and just fell to the ground and cried loudly.At that moment, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen, Mrs. Xing, Youshi and others also came over after hearing the news, all crying so much that their throats hoarse and their tears fell like rain.

At the same time, from the inside to the outside of the Ningrong Second Mansion, plain lanterns were hung, prayer flags and paper, curtains and curtains, decorated like snow caves and silver caves.The coffin has never been greeted, and the spirit has been reassured first. Because the Grand View Garden was built for relatives, the mourning hall was set up in the Grand View Tower, and there was a portrait of the concubine Yuan by the painter in the palace. The tooth-mounted scroll is decorated with many flowers and towers. One of them is surrounded by auspicious clouds and has a magnificent appearance, but he is not a phoenix crown and a xiapei. He is only dressed as a female history. , are all dressed in palace makeup and gorgeous clothes, with pearls covering their faces, some holding wishful wishes, some holding towels, some holding books, and some holding fans, with different descriptions.When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang saw them, they couldn't help crying again.So Hanfang Pavilion was designated as a resting place, and the three small flower halls in the south were specially prepared for use in the palace. The main entrance was opened for guests to come in and out. Monks and nuns such as Qingxu Temple, Tiekan Temple, Shuiyue Temple, and Dizang Temple take turns to chant sutras, and install screens to cut off the roads in the garden.

Before the discussion was settled, there were people from Wang Ziteng's office and the residence of the Marquis of Baoning who brought silver, and then the mansions of the princes and princes, who had old acquaintances, some sent to the water and land Taoist temple, some gave sacrifices to three animals, some gave wine, and some There is an endless stream of people delivering plays.Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Sister Feng, Youshi and others had no choice but to stop their mourning and come out to socialize and take care of them. They also wanted to send Jia Rong, Jia Zhi, Jia Lan, Jia Ling and others to get up and go to Ping'an Prefecture to meet the coffin of Concubine Yuan. Report to and from news; also plan to send out questions, stop spirits and raise altars, and reward people from various prefectures; also invite imperial physicians to diagnose and treat Jiamu, Mrs. Wang, Daiyu, etc.; also call tailors and flower tieers , gold and silversmiths come to cut clothes, make colorful sheds, beat gold and silverware, and take care of food and wine; they also have to assign their families to perform various duties, one in charge of the kitchen, one in charge of filial piety, one in charge of utensils, and one in charge of sesame oil Candles, a certain person is in charge of accompanying and hanging guests, a certain person passes incense paper before the coffin, and a certain person only lays a cloud board in front of the door. Because the mansion sent many family members out a few days ago, there was no one around, so they put Ningguo Mansion dialed half of them.Those people who had learned about Sister Feng's methods in the Qin family's funeral before did not dare to shirk and shirk, so they made arrangements one by one. Fortunately, there was no loss.

For a while, Dai Quan, the chief supervisor of the Daming Palace, brought the sacrificial silver. Jia Zheng kowtowed to the south, accepted it, and invited Dai Quan to serve tea in the inner room, and asked about the details of the death of the empress.Dai Quandao: "Even I don't know that last fall, Ping'an Prefecture Jiedu wrote a letter saying: the folk customs in this place are simple and honest, respecting Buddhism and respecting rituals, and the local gentry and salt merchants each donated some silver to build Buddhist temples and royal palaces. The emperor is very happy, I personally wrote the name of Tai'an Temple, and ordered the name of the businessman who will build the post palace, the amount of silver, and all the copies to be submitted, discussed and graded, and awarded many crowns. The emperor suddenly remembered this matter, and said that the booklet said how magnificent and magnificent the palace was built, and how miraculous the Buddhist temple was. After staying for a few days, who would have expected this accident to happen. Now those thieves have been handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation one by one, only to find out that they were all ordinary people. Let's start these activities. After all, this Pinganzhou Jiedu is not a person who respects Buddhism and courtesy, but he is just trying to change his name and extort money. He swallowed the money from those local tyrants to buy officials, but he was afraid that things would be exposed , and set up a false name to extract money from the people to build towers to hide their shame, and those who could not hand over the money were arrested as coolies. Those people were in their prime, and most of them were bachelors without homes and jobs. They gathered together and became thieves. In the past, it was still the rules, but the leader left the year before last, and the rest of them didn't make a difference, so they rebelled against each other without asking questions. Every car must be robbed, and this big event has been caused. Now these bandits have been handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and the emperor gave him extra favors, only a few leaders were shown to the public. I have gone. Although a few rioters have left, now the emperor has issued a sea arrest document to hunt down everywhere, and it is expected that they will be obtained."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but recite the words "Tianjian is like coming, and the cave is thousands of miles away". After sending Dai Quan out, he called Jia Lian and gave him the silver bestowed by him. It is used for offering sweets and paper horses. Jia Lian took the silver and came in. First, he picked a few big things to develop, such as building a funeral shed, setting off fireworks, lanterns and fragrant flowers, and gold and silver mountains. Let me put it up first, and I will pay you back when I have the money." Lai Er smiled and said, "What did the second master say? Isn't mine rewarded by the master? Why don't you borrow it? It's just that I don't have much after all. If it's just One hundred and twenty taels, if you have to ask relatives and friends, you can make up for it, and now there are several days of banquets in the two mansions, there is no three hundred taels, and I am covered with iron, how many catties of nails can I hammer?" Jia Lian laughed and said, "Don't coax me. You have earned more and saved more than anyone else these years. In detail, even I may not be able to compare. Don't say one or two hundred taels, even one or two thousand won't bother you." .Now regardless of these, you can borrow as much as you have, and you can spend the money. If you can’t make up, you have to save some money on the table, and you don’t care about your face right now.”

Sister Feng heard it from inside, and hurriedly ordered someone to call Jia Lian in and said, "It's no good for you to borrow a sum of money and move it here and there. You have spent a lot of money. You don't look good, and you will be criticized by others. When the time comes, you will be old." Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. said that when Brother Rong's daughter-in-law passed away, there were still so many ostentations. Satisfied, let's watch the joke next time, do you still want to fight for face in the two mansions?" Jia Lian said anxiously: "Who doesn't know how to save face if he has money? Isn't it impossible to move money now? The account is limited, and there are thousands of taels of silver in total. A few days ago, the master donated money and moved it away. , and now I don’t want any more. Fortunately, I don’t need to pay for it to buy coffins and bury them. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t even get a decent coffin, and that’s called famine. I came here to save some of the old lady's things, but the old lady found out about it, so she threw away those few words, and now Yuanyang sees me and doesn't look at me, so why would I lend it to me?"

Sister Feng said: "I said you have no talent. Are you sure that only the old lady's things can be pawned? The Zhen family brought a few boxes of things, didn't you keep them? Just take a few to pawn, and no one knows." Jia Lian said "I'm afraid I'll be ashamed to come out when I ask for it later." Sister Feng sneered, "Who wants it? Who can come out right? It's too late for the two eldest girls of the Zhen family to hide from their parents' house. Our family is divorced; the third girl was divorced by the Si family, and now she is looking for life and death, so she is so embarrassed to come to ask for things? There is only one brother, and it is said that he has the same temper as Baoyu in our family, except for regulating fat. Fan, messing around with the girls, has no serious ideas, and is in the prison with his old lady, so he may not be released, and when he comes out, it is not difficult to deal with; unless his old lady comes to the door in person to ask for another It is said that the Zhen family has already been convicted, and no matter how difficult it is to turn over, there will come a day, and they may not be ashamed to clear each one in person, but there are a few missing, and no one knows. It is our own family who may be remembered. You don’t have to be afraid of this account, as long as you know it’s a sum of money and know that it’s spent on public affairs, who will force you to pay it?”

Jia Lian was reminded with a word, and said happily: "This is a serious idea. If there is something wrong, I have to talk about it at that time. For now, I don't care about that. I'm just afraid that it will be inconvenient to do it in Beijing. If something happens, it will not be worth the loss. Yes." Sister Feng said: "Who told you to act in the capital? Didn't you do it on purpose? Let me teach you a way: the son-in-law of my wife's housekeeper Zhou Rui's family, named Leng Zixing, is a well-known antique dealer in the capital. A few years ago, he got into a lawsuit because of something, and was sentenced to be deported back to his hometown. It was because I bailed him out that nothing happened. Now you just ask him to come in, choose whatever you like, and take him to the south, far away. It's so easy and cheap?" Jia Lian said happily after hearing this, "It turns out that you did all these things behind my back, and you didn't even know about it at all. Let’s not talk about him, since you have this benefit with him, he is naturally embarrassed to push us, so I will call him in to discuss.” He said and started to leave.

But Sister Feng stopped again and said, "I taught you this method. What do you have to thank me?" Jia Lian said, "This is strange again. I got the money for the public, but why thank you? I got the money back, You have to pull your head away, and the bald man will just wrap his net towel and let it go." Sister Feng spat: "You are the only one who is dedicated to serving the public. Could it be that I can do things for myself? You are doing the math for me. Up and down inside, hundreds of people’s clothes, shoes, socks, jewelry and utensils, don’t they all cost money? If you exchange the money, you should give me half of it, otherwise I’ll shout out, and everyone won’t be able to make money.” Jia Lian gritted his teeth and said with a smile. He said: "It is said that the geese are too plucked, so it is the most stingy. When you come to your place, you are drinking blood like a feather, and you are about to let go of a bald goose." Now go out to arrange a discussion without mentioning it. In addition, there are water and land Taoist temples in the mansion, and monks, nuns and Taoists in various temples and nuns take turns to chant scriptures, such as "Pharmacist", "Surangama", "Jie Yuan", "Miduo Heart Sutra" day and night. Pregnant for more than two months, unexpectedly encountered such injustice, one dead body and two lives, the child could not see the light of day, so another altar was set up to recite the "Blood Pot Sutra", "The Curse of Rebirth" and so on.Baoyu knelt for a while, only to hear the cymbals ringing in his ears, and the Buddha's chant chanting loudly around him, and he felt dizzy when he suddenly saw a young nun with a delicate face in the crowd winking at him, pointing at himself, and pointing at the door In addition, when he turned to go out, he turned his head back two or three times, and nodded his hands quietly, clearly asking himself to go out with him, and he was quite surprised in his heart.Looking left and right, no one was paying attention, so she came out quietly, only to see the nun standing on tiptoe under a big pomegranate tree behind the mountain, looking around, obviously waiting for her.When he was approaching and wanted to ask, he saw another nun coming over there, and the two of them saluted side by side, saying hello to the second master.Baoyu heard their voices like Yingying, soft and melodious, and suddenly remembered, and sighed: "Aren't you the official of the pistil, the official of the lotus root? You have shaved your head, and you hardly recognize each other." He sighed secretly in his heart. It turned out that because the nuns and Taoist nuns from Shuiyue Nunnery and Dizang Nunnery all came to the mansion to chant scriptures, Ruiguan and Ouguan wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Fangguan, but they couldn't be found again. They had to find their master Zhitong to find out what happened. , Pian Zhitong was vague, saying that he did not come because he was sick, and that Fang Guan had sworn not to return to the Grand View Garden, so they didn't have to ask any more questions.Ruiguan and Ouguan are both smart women. Although they saw through the dust and entered the Buddhist gate, they never forgot their ability to observe words and emotions. It's affection, he can't stop lingering on the young children among the visitors, and flirts with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong. It doesn't seem to be a Buddhist character, so he can't help becoming suspicious, but he can't prove it.Thinking of Baoyu's close relationship with Fangguan in the past, he asked him to come out to discuss. Hearing the reason, Baoyu hesitated and said: "According to you, there must be a reason for Fang Guan not coming, but you can't find out, and I may not be willing to tell when I ask. They are monks, can they be tortured?" The official sighed: "How changed you before, why are you so stupid now? They said that Fang Guan was ill in the nunnery, and now you only send a confidant to visit the nunnery once, and you will know the truth. What did you ask you to torture again?" Baoyu bowed his head and thought for a while, and said, "This man is still useful." He also greeted a few words about the practice of Ouguan and Ruiguan in Dizang Nunnery, civil officials and Ai officials. When people go there, they can communicate with each other.Both of them said indifferently: "It's just a matter of accepting their fate through suffering, and then asked what those people are doing." After a few words, they broke up.Baoyu had no choice but to turn around and come back, and went to find someone to tell Jia Yun to meet him in the study. At this time, all the children of the clan were kneeling in front of the Daguan Tower, beating the chime and burning paper. It was very convenient to call.Jia Yun was also asking for Baoyu for something, and she was eager to see her, so she came as soon as she heard the news.Baoyu then entrusted Fang Guan with the matter.Jia Yun fully agreed, and said: "Second uncle, let's be busy with my own affairs. I'll go to Shuiyue nunnery right now. I'll reply within two hours at most." He made an appointment to meet again in the study, and hurried to go up. Baoyu was afraid that he would delay for a long time, and the attackers would miss him and make people look for him everywhere, so he thought of going back to Yihong Courtyard for a visit.Unexpectedly, everyone didn't want him to come back at this time, and they all happened to have an accident and went out.Since that day, Xiren fell ill and was praised and criticized by everyone. He was angry, ashamed and discouraged, so he fell ill. He was sleeping on the bed at this time, when he suddenly came in, he had to struggle to get up and find him. clothes.Baoyu regretted not coming, and hurriedly pressed down and said that he would go to the front to kneel and pray, without changing clothes, but came back to have a look, and left after having a cup of tea.Xiren then called in two little girls to send him to have tea and ordered him to accompany him to the spirit.It was only sent to Jiayin Hall and then went back.Baoyu came in, deliberately burned incense and laid paper, knelt for a while, and saw that everyone was listening to the scriptures with their eyes closed, or dozing off, before coming out, he still waited outside the study.Jia Yun still hasn't come back. Baoyu was bored sitting alone, so he took a copy of Ci from the desk to read. Because he read Yuan Haowen's "Linjiang Immortal", he saw "What is the use of great fame? I used to blame the Lord of heaven. It's a great song. A thousand bells of wine. A man is good at what he does, so don't talk about being poor." A few sentences, if you feel something, bow your head and think.Just as she was about to play the last song, Jia Yun had already returned, so she hurriedly asked what happened.Jia Yun sighed: "Fortunately, my uncle has never seen it in person. It turns out that Fangguan has changed his Dharma name to Yuanjue since he became a monk. At first, those aunts treated him well, but they were sent to serve tea and water. Later, because he refused to accept However, every time he got frustrated, he was made to chop firewood and fetch water in the kitchen, he washed the clothes in the nunnery, and he didn't give him food for three or two meals. Later, he simply beat and scolded him, forcing him to obey However, Fang Guan was so generous that he ruined his face with magnetic tiles, so when he came to the mansion to chant scriptures this time, he was not allowed to come in, for fear that people would ask him if he saw it." Baoyu was shocked and said: "Fang Guan is originally stubborn. He is eloquent and unassuming, and it is possible to offend Master, but he will not be charged with such a serious crime. Besides, he used to be so cute and cute, how could he ruin his appearance? Could it be that Shuiyue Temple has other secrets?" Jia Yun said with a smile: "I heard that my uncle often goes to Ningfu to shoot swans. Don't you know anything about it? Even I have heard about it, but I have never inquired about it." Baoyu blushed, After a while Fang said: "I have been there a few times before, since I got sick last autumn, I have never been there again, but I don't know what this has to do with Fangguan?" Who doesn't know these people? They are all pretending to be blind. There is gambling, and there is wine. Uncle Zhen shows off his cooking skills. He is tired of eating delicacies, dragon liver, phoenix and gallbladder. Now he has a vegetarian dish. Then Shuiyue Temple is nicknamed Mantou Temple, and it is famous all over the capital for making vegetarian dishes. Therefore, Uncle Zhen ordered Jia Qin to do it as a filial piety. Pretend to serve wine, saying that he imitated the legacy of the previous Tang Dynasty, such as Yu Xuanji and Yang Taizhen, so he himself is Wen Feiqing and Tang Minghuang. That official Fang learned to sing before, and he looks good, so those people naturally refused to let go After him, Fangguan quarreled several times with Jingxu and Zhitong with a disfigured face, and even ruined his face so that they would not come to Luo Zao again." When Baoyu heard this, he was stunned, shed tears, and sighed: "The pure land of Buddhism is so unbearable. Is there any king's law? It's really abominable! Hateful!" He even said a hundred times "abominable", but he couldn't do it. Can imagine.Jia Yun also knew that Baoyu was "unable to be the master of the lamp grass and crutches". He and Jia Qin were both affiliated branches of Jia's mansion. Satisfied, most of the tribe said that Jia Yun was not good enough, so he had a heart of indignation for a long time, now that he has pinched this full principle, how can he let it go easily.Then he thought about it again, came up with a plan, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I don't think it's convenient to intervene in this matter. I'll go and tell Aunt Lin about it, and ask Aunt Lin to think of a way." Baoyu wondered: " You actually had friendship with his family." Jia Yun said with a smile: "Is there any friendship? I still ask Uncle Bao for a word." Because she quietly told Baoyu about her mutual love with Hongyu, she said, "Since Xiaohong was released, I have asked a matchmaker to go His family is looking for a job, but it has not been settled, saying that they want to wait for Aunt Feng to speak, but now they are begging their uncle to speak a few words in front of Aunt Feng, to be a Baoshan for their nephew, as long as Aunt Feng agrees, it will be a very important matter. " Baoyu was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You really have eyesight. I always said that Xiaohong is a good person, but you have taken a fancy to her. This is a good thing for the beauty of adults, so I will help you naturally." The two said at once It's settled, let's go. When Jia Yun left the garden, she thought that Sister Feng's courtyard was right in front of her, so she might as well take this opportunity to pay her respects. First, she could speak with the camera, and second, the mansion is now in the midst of employing people, so she might be able to find some errands.After making up his mind, he went out of Xihua Gate and came to Sister Feng. Entering the yard, I saw Feng'er, a little girl, teaching Qiao how to wear beaded flowers on a stone bench under the big locust tree. When she saw Jia Yun coming in, she said with a smile, "What's the second master doing here?" Jia Yun said: " Greetings to my aunt. Don't know if I have some free time?" Feng'er laughed and said, "When will Second Mistress be free? Just now the old lady asked Sister Hu Po to talk to her, and she might come back. If Second Master has nothing to do, I will wait for Grandma to come back. Just say it; if something happens, I have to come again." Jia Yun had no choice but to say: "It's nothing, but I'm just saying hello, sister, please say it for me." Turning around, she was walking under the western flower wall, when a person came to meet her, and she almost didn't bump into her arms.When Jia Yun hurriedly stopped to look, he belonged to Yu Xin's family. I saw that he had an old crow's blue cloth on his head and a brand-new white coat and blue skirt on his body. He was holding a basket of gold and silver ingots in his hand. I wanted to go to the garden, but my mind turned suddenly, and I got an idea, and said with a smile: "Where are you going, Auntie?" Jump. Where is this going? It looks like a lost soul, with a troubled face." Just as Jia Yun wanted him to ask this question, so that she could use the trick of "extending the bed to stretch her legs", she sighed deliberately: "Auntie asked a good question. I'm not here just to make things difficult." After repeating the instructions, she spread her hands and said, "Auntie also knows that Ouguan and Fangguan have learned opera together since they were children. They have a deeper bond than others. They have always been fearless. When they were in the mansion, even Aunt Zhao still beat them. Now that they are out, it is still the same. Just now, Ou Guan and Rui Guan refused to accept Fang Guan’s hardship in Shuiyue Nunnery, so they asked Uncle Bao to make the decision. Because Fang Guan was kicked out by his wife in person, it was not easy to intercede, so Tete called me in, and immediately forced him to find a way to save him. Auntie Bai thinks for me, that Shuiyue Temple is a aunt's temple, and now Jingxu is the same Qin and Lao Si both found out that they are King Kong with open eyes, so how can you care about a Buddha with closed eyes? With the support of Uncle Zhen, even Bodhisattva etiquette is not in his sights, let alone me? And I am not in my mission. "He told the story of Shuiyue nunnery from the beginning, but refused to tell the story of his visit to the nunnery. Those of Yu Xin's family were annoyed in every possible way because of the people who had gone to Tiekan Temple and Shuiyue Temple. To send Aihu off, to get a reward in the mansion, or to get the annual incense and silver, you have to honor him first, who knows that since Jia Qin took charge of the Iron Kan Temple and Shuiyue Temple, the abbots are no longer as flattering as they used to be. , so I have long held a grudge.Now that I got this letter today, I don't like it, and I know that Mrs. Wang hates such things the most, so she clapped her hands and said, "Jingxu, this old bald man, dares to be so bold and deceitful! Every day, white rice and sesame oil, just say It is to worship the Buddha, but it turned out to be sent to Pansi Cave, which is not bad! Fortunately, the second master told me, otherwise the whole family would have been kept in the dark. Don't worry, the second master, just leave this matter to me. I told my wife so that they would know that the Heavenly Net is restored and Bodhisattvas have eyes." Jia Yun said with a smile: "Since my aunt is willing to take care of me, it's the best. It's just that Uncle Bao has repeatedly instructed me, lest my wife will say it if she finds out. Auntie should not mention me and Uncle Bao in front of my wife. Otherwise, my wife will ask." Get up, don't Uncle Bao blame me?" Yu Xin's family said in a big way: "That's natural. The gourd leads the lentil vine, and the more you pull it, the more you can't make it clear. I just pick and say it neatly. Someone else's." Not doing any errands at the moment, she stumbled to Mrs. Wang's room, just as Mrs. Wang woke up from a nap and was washing her face.It was inconvenient for Yu Xin's family to answer, and he rolled up his sleeves, handed the towel and tied the apron for Mrs. Wang, waited on her face, brushed her temples, and served tea.Mrs. Wang asked: "If you don't deliver the paper, what are you doing here?" Yu Xin's family watched all the girls go out, and there were only Caiyun, Yuchuan and other confidantes in front of him, and he whispered into Mrs. Wang's ear: "I really can't tell my wife, the older Qin is, the less he looks like me. I heard that he now prostitutes and gambles. He received the case money the day before yesterday, and followed his foot into the gambling house. Before dark, he lost all the one hundred taels of silver. Thirty two." Mrs. Wang didn't believe it: "Those people are willing to lend him? Besides, he received a monthly bill of silver, which was originally used to add sesame oil to the temple and greet nuns and Taoist priests for daily expenses. If he doesn't take it, there are still people in the temple who are not rebellious? "Yu Xin's family said: "He takes it? It's fine if he doesn't take it out. Now he is in charge of Shuiyue Temple and Tiekan Temple. Come out." Because of the banquet in Ning's mansion, Jia Qin made the nun of Shuiyue Nunnery dress up, and added fuel and vinegar to the section of the wine.When Mrs. Wang heard this, she trembled with anger, and shouted: "Is this okay? Is there any law of heaven and king in my eyes? I leave these things to Lian'er, and I hope he will save me some worries. You manage the house like this? Why don't you call me Lian'er and his wife?" Because of the sound of sending someone to call Jia Lian and Sister Feng to talk at once. Yu Xin's family was busy and persuaded: "Second Master Lian probably doesn't know about the things that Kid Qin has done. Madam thinks carefully, since he wants to earn this clever family, why is he willing to let his superiors know and cut him off?" What about the way of making money? Uncle Zhen in the East Mansion knows everything, but he is happy to use him to greet the princes and grandchildren of other mansions, so he refuses to take more care." Madam Wang became more angry, and sighed: "If you make a disaster, Isn't it the ugly name of the Jia family? Just like this, the needle does not feel the pain. Brother Zhen, who is currently the patriarch of the two prefectures, wears the crown of the third rank, and indulges his children like this, doing anything wrong." Yu Xin's family He said: "in the past, Uncle Zhen hated him for gambling to raise a boy, and he actually taught him a few times. Later, Uncle Zhen gambled even harder, not to mention, and he had to flatter him, so he was very willing to take it seriously, often Calling him into the mansion will make him ten times worse than before." For a while Jia Lian came first, and Yu Xin's family was deeply afraid of Xifeng's prestige, so frightened, he sent papers to the garden by name and avoided going out.Because Sister Feng was watching the sacrificial ceremony ahead and sent Lai Sheng's family to distribute lamp oil, incense and candles, etc., she came in a step behind. , stood aside and waited for orders. Mrs. Wang didn't look at the two of them, she sneered twice and said, "I'm actually a deaf man and a blind man. I entrust the family property to you two, hoping to enjoy a few days of happiness. It's good for you two, and the family only cares about themselves all day long." Gao Le is going to be deaf and blinder than me, so my disciples are doing everything under their noses, and they only missed pulling Buddha Tianzun down from the stage, so why don't they hear a word?" When Jia Lian heard that the wind was wrong, she was so frightened that she dared not answer, but only winked at Sister Feng quietly.Sister Feng could only go forward and smiled and said, "I can't blame my wife for being angry. Second Master has been sent by the Grand Master these days, and he has gone out several times in a row. He is away from home for more than half a month. It is inevitable that there are some places that cannot be seen. We are wrong. There, I beg my wife to guide us, so we can be more careful in the future." Mrs. Wang lowered her head and pondered for a while, then calmed down and sighed: "If it was something else, I would never be so angry. Unfortunately, this matter is not trivial. If it is not handled properly, let alone anger the old lady." , Master, I am ashamed of my ancestors, even the heavens and the earth will not forgive me." Jia Lian was even more startled when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Madam, please tell me clearly that my nephew is young, and he is not good at managing the house. If he did something wrong Please forgive me, madam." Mrs. Wang said: "I heard that Zhou's daughter-in-law's fourth son is in charge of nuns, Yueyin, who was appointed by you. Do you know the outrageous and unreasonable things he did in the temple?" Jia Lian didn't expect this to happen again, and he was even more surprised when he heard the words: "Sister-in-law Zhou begged my nephew again and again to allow him to take care of it. I reported this matter to the master. He has always paid out money on a monthly basis. I don't usually come to the mansion, so it's not common, since my wife said so, there must be something wrong with him, and I will wait for my nephew to investigate." Mrs. Wang saw that he really didn't seem to know the details, so she sent the rest of the letter I chose Jane to say what the family had told me.Jia Lian and Xifeng were startled. It turns out that there are old rules for the monthly supply in every temple, but after visiting relatives that year, there were twenty-four young Taoist priests and monks who had nowhere to settle, so Jia Lian made the decision to temporarily send them to live in Tiekan Temple. Mother begged Sister Feng in every possible way, and then allocated him to take care of her. Because Shuiyue nunnery was the closest to Tikan temple, she handed over all the monthly payment of Shuiyue nunnery to Jia Qin, so as not to walk around twice.Originally, I thought it was just a matter of collecting expenses and living a casual life, but I never thought that he would use this to give birth to these stories.Now, after listening to Mrs. Wang's interrogation, Jia Lian was startled and ashamed. He kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "There is such a thing! My nephew really doesn't know. So my nephew ordered someone to bring that boy Qin to the temple and investigate Cleared up, I will beat him dozens of times, and then ask him about corrupting the law and insulting Buddhism." Mrs. Wang said again: "Boy Qin should be punished, but the abbots of Shuiyue nunnery and Tiekan temple should be punished severely if they didn't report the knowledge and acted in collusion. In addition, all the nuns and Taoist nuns who participated in the wine serving will be ordered to return to the secular life, or they will go, and they will be dismissed as soon as possible, and they will be clean in front of their eyes." Asked the abbots of the two places again. first and last name. Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "The abbot of Tiekan Temple is Sekong, and Mantou Temple is Jingxu. Those who cook vegetarian food and serve wine are all nuns from Shuiyue Temple. Thinking about it, this matter may not have anything to do with Sekong. Most likely it is the beginning and the end of Jingxu. Wait for my nephew to find out, and then I will report to my wife and handle it together." Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "They are monks after all. If there is no fault, they should not hurt innocent people by mistake. You can go and investigate Come to think of it, since they dared to act so recklessly, they might not only have done this one bad thing, if there were any other things, they would have found out and reported them to me." Sister Feng heard that the two of them were arguing, and she was afraid that if she went deep into the investigation immediately, she would unavoidably find out many scandals about his collusion and corruption with the old nun Jingxu of Tiekan Temple. Let's calm down, check and investigate, just don't be in a hurry to deal with it. These days, when I was sending chanting scriptures for the empress, it was the time when these people were used. They dispersed for a while, but went there to find these many people. Besides, in this way, it is inevitable Alarming everyone, it would be bad if it leaked out. Now there are a hundred or eighty things in the family, and we can’t talk about it for a while. If the treatment is urgent, it’s inevitable that everything will be missed, and other things will happen. It’s better to deal with the funeral and send it away. Relatives and friends have gone, and then close the door to deal with it properly, at that time no one will notice, relatives and friends will not discuss it, and the old lady will not hear about it, isn’t it cheap?” Mrs. Wang thought about it again, and said: "That's it. It's just that these people are not at ease in front of me. It's better to arrange for them to go to other places to read scriptures, as long as they don't want to show off in front of the guests." Left and right, "This matter is not allowed to go out in the slightest. If the old lady knows a little bit, I will expose your skin." Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng agreed to withdraw.Mrs. Wang is still angry about her injustice. Half a hundred people, who are greatly mourned by the new scriptures, are also aroused by this. At night, they have headaches and fatigue, and are lazy to eat.Fortunately, Imperial Physician Bao came every day, so he checked the pulse immediately, considered adding or subtracting a few herbs, and made a prescription.It's late when Xuanjuan sits at night, so I can't keep watch. After taking medicine, I go to bed early.If you want to know the future, let's see the next time.
