Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 113: Ma Daopo visits Jia's house again and hears her aunt complaining.
Chapter 113: Ma Daopo visits Jia's house again and hears her aunt complaining.
In the morning, Jia Lan had just left Jia's Mansion and went to see his master Sheng Hong. Not long after, a Taoist woman came to the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion. She was the same Taoist woman who had been broken by Jia Lan's Jing Shen Stab before and fled in embarrassment.
Ma Daopo.
Baoyu's godmother greeted the disciples generously and entered the house. She first went to Rongxi Hall to pay her respects to Jia's mother.
I accidentally bumped into a noble man, and it took me half a year to recover.
Jia Mu asked curiously, and Ma Daopo clasped his hands together and said in a dignified manner: "Amitabha, the great light in the western sky is above the Bodhisattva. Last time, I only thought that the little donor was an ordinary evil spirit, but I never expected that the little donor turned out to be an evil spirit.
With the protection of Wenquxing, he is a lucky person...
The old nun's skill was in conflict with Wenquxing, so he stopped ten times and went to seven or eight times. He didn't dare to stay, so he had to lead the thing out a little while there was still some power left, waiting for the little benefactor to consolidate the origin slightly, so that the star master returned to his position, and the evil charm
Even if I come back, I won’t dare to make any mistakes.”
Jia's mother laughed out loud after hearing Jia Lan's fierce blows, and repeatedly ordered for refreshments.
Ma Daopo smiled and bowed to thank her, and had a cup of tea with Jia Mu. The topic changed and she mentioned gems. She said that the Rongguo Mansion was blessed by auspicious stars, and it was said that Jialan should also have some gems.
These words hit the deepest part of Jia Mu's heart, and immediately attracted her attention, and she asked her questions repeatedly.
After many excuses, Ma Daopo finally said: "It's not that the old nun didn't tell me, but it's that he visited his colleagues in the past six months and got some warnings."
Jia Mu hurriedly asked: "What's the warning?"
"Everything in the world is about sincerity and speed, haste leads to waste. Mr. Bao is a very blessed person. People protected by auspicious stars like this also know the benefits and harms of classic Buddhism. So-called Taoist people like Lao Ni only
But I know a little bit about it, so how can I dare to interfere? I just want to do more good deeds for him!"
After saying that, Ma Daopo clasped her hands together again and kept mumbling.
If Jia Mu listens carefully, she will find that what this Taoist woman is reading in a mess is not a scripture at all. It can only be said that Mrs. Shi, who is sophisticated in the world, was finally caught by Ma Daopo.
That is Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg of the Jia family.
Having read all about life, she naturally knows the different truths of the nine dragon-born sons, but what makes her puzzled is: Baoyu and Jialan are directly related, but why is the one born with jade in his mouth not as good as the latter?
In the past, Jia Mu thought Baoyu was very spiritual, but now with Jia Lan as a foil, Baoyu seems a little awkward.
Mother Jia has never revealed these thoughts in front of others. In her opinion, if Jia Lan has a future, it will be good to take care of this second uncle in the future.
But people are always partial, and Jialan's good deeds are not as good as Baoyu's, so he asked repeatedly: "Old fairy girl, what's the point of this good cause and effect?"
Ma Daopo clasped his hands together and said, "Just as it is recorded in the Ullambana Sutra, Monk Maud Lian received enlightenment from the Buddha and found a method of relief, which freed him from all difficulties and made him free from sorrow. So Monk Maudgalyayen set up the Ullambana Sutra to offer sacrifices.
, offered food and drinks of various kinds to the monks in the ten directions, and gathered the strength of the monks to rescue his mother from the realm of hungry ghosts.
If there is a good man or woman who worships sincerely, there is no need to be extravagant. In addition to offering incense and candles, add a few more kilograms of sesame oil a day and light it in the sea lantern.
This sea lamp never goes out day and night, gathering the Dharma of monks from all directions, and it will naturally bless our children and grandchildren."
Mother Jia couldn't help but nodded. She was familiar with the allusion to the Obon Festival, but she still asked: "How much oil does it cost in one day and one night? Tell me clearly, so that I can do this meritorious deed."
Ma Daopo smiled and said: "It's just a matter of giving it up according to the wishes of the donors. In our temple, there are several places where the princess's decrees are enshrined: The princess of Nan'an County, she made many promises and made great wishes. Forty-eight pounds of oil and one pound of lamp grass a day, then
The sea lamp is only slightly smaller than the vat; Jintianhou's imperial edict is second-rate, with only twenty-four kilograms of oil a day..."
After counting the other offerings one by one, Ma Daopo saw Jia Mu frowning slightly and deep in thought. She immediately changed her subject and said, "But these are not suitable for Mr. Bao? It's too much." p>
Seeing Jia Mu's "Oh" and her attention being drawn to her, Ma Daopo smiled and continued: "My ancestors are the elders, and now they are precious jade. It would not be good to give up too much. I am afraid that my brother will not be able to bear it and will fall back."
Blessed."
Jia Mu hurriedly asked: "What do you think we should do?"
Ma Daopo held out two fingers: "The big one can be seven catties, the small one can be five catties, that's it."
When Jia Mu heard this, her brows straightened, she kept nodding, and promised to offer seven kilograms a day as an offering. Ma Daopo quickly put her hands together and asked Bodhisattva to bless her. After chatting for a while, Ma Daopo left Jia Mu and went to various courtyards.
Greetings from every room.
After going around in a circle, Ma Daopo said some kind words and walked into Aunt Zhao's house with a lot of gains. She sat down on the kang, picked up the melon seeds on Xiaodie next to her and started to eat them.
Aunt Zhao was not upset when she saw it, and just asked the two little girls in the house, Xiao Que and Xiao Jixiang, to pour tea.
Ma Daopo saw that Aunt Zhao was mending her shoes with her head down, and there were some fragments of silk and satin piled on the table, so she joked: "I don't have any shoes. Grandma Zhao, if you have some fragments of satin, no matter what color, give me a pair."
?"
Aunt Zhao sighed: "Look at what I have here, which one is good? In the past, it was all the shabby things that found their way into my house. Now they are a little better. If you like anything, feel free to pick it."
Let’s go!”
Ma Daopo was not polite, she was so picky that she actually took out two pieces of material and hid them in her sleeves, and started to eat melon seeds again.
Aunt Zhao was amused for a while, and then she put down her work and asked, "The day before yesterday, I sent 500 yuan to the King of Medicine as an offering, have you accepted it?"
After Ma Daopo smashed the melon seeds, she picked up peanuts to eat. After hearing this, she replied: "Don't worry, I've done it for you."
The two of them chatted with each other, not like a host and a guest, but like best friends.
Seeing Aunt Zhao's lack of interest, Ma Daopo said "Hey": "What? Are you angry?"
"I am a concubine born in a family. Which master in this house is not nobler than me? Even if you become Baoyu's godmother, your status in the eyes of the old lady is probably higher than mine. When will I
Aren't you being offended?" Aunt Zhao said angrily.
After a pause, she added: "A few days ago, Mistress Lian in the house divided some of the housekeeping duties, and my girl also took care of a share. I thought that I was finally looking forward to a good life, but unexpectedly the child...
He is a fool and is not greedy for a penny!"
Ma Daopo's hands peeling off the peanuts suddenly stopped, and she burst into laughter: "It's strange! It's strange! You guy actually gave birth to such a cheap girl."
Aunt Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sighed: "Can you comb a few strands of hair off with a comb? But that kid, no matter how much money I handle, he doesn't even know how to scrape off a little bit. Don't you think it's irritating?
"Okay, okay, when Brother Huan grows up, won't he be able to stand out?"
Aunt Zhao sighed: "Originally, only Baoyu was pampered in this mansion. Now Zhuda's wife's son has become more successful. Coupled with Mistress Lian, who is becoming more and more sophisticated, I am even worse off than Monkey Sun, who is suppressed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain.
