Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 312: Invite monks and Taoist priests to come in and seek peace of mind!

"Aren't you busy with needlework today?" Aunt Xue frowned slightly when she saw her daughter come in. She quickly put down the accounts in her hand and greeted her daughter first.

Xue Baochai looked at the mess on the floor.

He said to his mother, "Mom, some of these are old and there is no need to keep them."

"It doesn't look good when displayed, and it takes up space for nothing."

Aunt Xue looked around and said softly to Xue Baochai, "These were all given to me by your grandparents."

"I brought these from Jinling all the way here. They are quite old and I can't bear to throw them away."

"I will pass it on to you and your brother in the future."

"There are still some. I originally wanted to wait until you get married and have the Xue family from Jinling bring them here."

"But this time, time is urgent, and it's like that..."

At this point, Aunt Xue was a little speechless. Seeing Baoyu's condition, she was afraid that her daughter would be sad.

So she swallowed her words and asked Xue Baochai, "Is there something wrong?"

Xue Baochai pinched her handkerchief and said to Aunt Xue, "Mother, let's go inside and talk!"

Aunt Xue looked at her daughter in surprise and told people to continue cleaning.

Then he followed his daughter into the house.

……

"My child, what are you worried about?" Aunt Xue saw Xue Baochai coming into the room and sitting motionless on the chair.

Seems to be lost in thought.

"Mother! There is something I don't understand," Xue Baochai stretched out her hand to pull the string around her neck.

Suddenly I remembered that there was no gold lock around my neck.

She immediately stopped, stared at Aunt Xue's face and asked,

"Mom! Can you still contact the monk who gave me the golden lock?"

Aunt Xue's outstretched hand froze in the air, her eyes hesitant.

Then he took a glass of water and drank a few gulps.

Then he rubbed his fingers against the wall of the cup and said lightly,

"My son, why do you ask this?"

"He's just a wandering monk. Where can I find him?"

Xue Baochai chuckled and said in a self-deprecating tone,

"Mother, if I throw this thing away or give it to someone else."

"What do you think will happen to me?"

Aunt Xue seemed frightened by Xue Baochai's idea. She broke out in a cold sweat.

His face turned pale as he said, "Don't dare to talk nonsense! If you throw it away, you will lose your protection."

"And I will be weak."

Xue Baochai squeezed the thing on her chest hard, and then continued to ask,

"Will he become as demented as Baoyu?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she seemed relieved. It seemed that her daughter was worried about Baoyu.

So he comforted his daughter,

"My son, of course not. Baoyu was born with him. You gave him to me later. I guess there is a difference, right?"

"Besides, it can't be said that Baoyu is like this because he lost the jade, right?"

"There are no people in the world, so isn't everyone fine?"

However, Xue Baochai refused to listen as she had her own plans.

Because he was not wearing the gold lock at the moment, and there was nothing abnormal with his body.

On the contrary, Baoyu is abnormal...

Thinking of this, she said to Aunt Xue, "Mother, please ask someone to find a monk, or other great monks."

"Please come here."

"I have something to ask you!"

Aunt Xue was startled and suddenly grabbed Xue Baochai, "My son, what are you going to do?"

"We should just wait quietly for marriage now."

Xue Baochai gently pulled out her arm and said quietly,

"Mother, I can't!"

"What if Baoyu wakes up and doesn't recognize this marriage?"

"I can't let myself get into trouble and become a laughing stock."

Aunt Xue's face was filled with surprise. "You're worried about this?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

"Your aunt will definitely decide for you."

"My son, you went there to bring good fortune. If he recovered because of you, he should respect and love you. How can he not acknowledge you?"

Xue Baochai sneered, "Mother, do as I say?"

"I don't know if it's useful or not."

"I just want peace of mind!"

"Why have I done so much but still cannot compare to others? I feel uneasy." Xue Baochai said the last sentence in a low voice, but her face showed even more pain.

Aunt Xue put her hand down dejectedly and said, "Since you want to feel at ease, then it would be fine if you want to ask a monk or a Taoist priest to chant some sutras."

So Aunt Xue had no choice but to agree.

Before leaving, Xue Baochai added, "Mother, please do it as soon as possible. I don't want my aunt to know that I did it."

Aunt Xue nodded, and then said, "I just said that I had a headache recently."

"We need monks and Taoist priests to chant some sutras."

Xue Baochai thought about it and felt that this reason was acceptable and had no flaws.

So he nodded in agreement and walked over the debris in the yard.

Return to the Grand View Garden.

Things have their priorities. Even though it's a mess, just sort it out bit by bit!

I have done so much, it's mine, all mine!

There was a fire burning in Xue Baochai's heart.

……

"The Emperor is here! The Empress Dowager is here!..." Lin Daiyu stretched her neck to look.

"Where is it? What does it look like?"

Jia Min pulled Daiyu by the arm and looked around, but seeing that no one was paying attention,

Then he glared at Daiyu and said angrily, "Sit down, sit up straight!"

"We can't see it from the outer hall."

"At most, you can see it in the hall."

"There are nobles inside." Jia Min explained softly.

"So you can't see anything after this trip?"

"So many people just come here to join in the fun and listen to the noise!" Lin Daiyu pointed to the outer hall which was packed with people.

Then he said to Jia Min with regret,

"Mom, you're at a disadvantage!"

"You should have been in the noble circle."

"Now I've fallen into a lower circle. I've reached the level of ordinary officials!"

“There are many foreign officials here.”

Lin Daiyu gently joked with Jia Min.

She felt that Jia Min was a little too nervous.

Logically speaking, Jia Min was born into a noble family, so she shouldn't be nervous.

Jia Min was nervous because her mind was in a mess. When she saw the layers of palaces, it was as if she had gone back in time.

My mother brought me into the palace. The queen at that time, now the empress dowager, liked me very much, but unfortunately I didn't have any children.

The emperor at that time, now the emperor emeritus, once told the story with great enthusiasm about how his father and uncle fought side by side with the emperor emeritus and killed the enemies in bloody battles.

The four kings and eight dukes came into being during the war of founding the country.

Now, I have brought my daughter here, but... things and people have changed, and there are layers of palace gates between us.

It’s not that they can’t get in, but that the two empresses dowagers and the emperor emeritus can’t get out.

Jia Min was still daydreaming when she felt her clothes being pulled.

She looked down at Daiyu's hand and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and pointed at the palace gate, "Mother, several eunuchs came out!"

Jia Min looked carefully and saw only a few eunuchs coming out of the palace gate and then dispersing automatically.

There was a eunuch in charge, walking straight towards me.

When he came to Jia Min, he raised his head and asked, "Excuse me, are you the family of Lin Ruhai, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites?"

Jia Min looked the eunuch up and down, but couldn't figure out where he came from, so she nodded and replied, "Yes!"

"Then come with me!" Jia Min was stunned. Because of Lin Ruhai's official position, she was not qualified to enter.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Excuse me, sir!"

"Which palace is it from?"

"We don't have enough identity, so we can't go in, right?"

The eunuch looked angry and said, "The Queen said you can come in, so you can come in."

"Let's go!"

Jia Min staggered and was caught by the maid behind her.
