Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 200 Rose in the Nunnery
After understanding this, Jia Rui became even more angry.

Dear Jia Baoyu, you don't care about your sister-in-law's birthday, but you remember a maid clearly.

Jia Rui regarded Wang Xifeng as his own, so when he saw Jia Baoyu acting like this, he was already angry and confused.

"What a disrespectful thing." Jia Rui cursed fiercely.

Then Jia Rui said to several guards: "Take Baoyu back and send it to Mr. Zheng. Let him take care of it."

When Jia Baoyu heard that Jia Rui was going to send him to Jia Zheng, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees in front of Jia Rui regardless of it.

"Brother Rui, please spare me this move. I will never dare to do it again."

When Jia Rui saw Jia Baoyu, he was so frightened that he almost died. He thought for a moment, today is Wang Xifeng's great day, and he can't let Jia Baoyu ruin the atmosphere.

"Then do you know it's wrong?"

Seeing that there was still a chance of improvement, Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "I know my mistake, and I will never dare to do it again."

Jia Rui gritted his teeth and spared Jia Baoyu temporarily in order not to ruin Wang Xifeng's birthday today. However, this also postponed the punishment. If he wanted to get past this level, he must not do it.

"In that case, why don't you go back quickly?"

Jia Baoyu quickly climbed up from the ground, ignoring the dust on his body, and escaped with Mingyan.

When Jia Baoyu disappeared, Jia Rui let out a long breath.

What's the matter?

The old nun in Shuiyue Temple already knew that the person in front of her was much more precious than Jia Baoyu, otherwise she would not have been able to stand there and scold Jia Baoyu, scaring Jia Baoyu out of his mind.

Therefore, she took advantage of her previous efforts to prepare clean dishes and chopsticks, and prepared a vegetarian meal very kindly.

Now that he saw what was going on, he cautiously came to Jia Rui.

"This noble man, the nunnery has prepared a vegetarian meal. Please treat me with some favors."

Jia Rui was already full of anger, but think about it, after going to the imperial mausoleum today, he would have to come back in the evening. If he doesn't eat enough now, he doesn't know what to eat at noon.

Therefore, I could only hold back the fire and come to a clean room.

As soon as he entered the room, Jia Rui noticed something was wrong, because the room was very clean, and there was a faint fragrance floating there.

Where is the guest room for guests? It is clearly a girl's boudoir?

When the nun saw Jia Rui stop, he quickly stepped forward and explained:

"Dear guest, the other rooms in the nunnery are a bit vulgar. I'm afraid of dirtying the eyes of the nobles. Only this room is barely acceptable. I'm neglecting our distinguished guests. Please forgive me."

After hearing what she said, Jia Rui didn't say anything and sat directly at the table.

The old nun quickly went out to serve Jia Rui food.

After a while, she came back, followed by a little nun dragging a tray.

The little nun lowered her head, came to Jia Rui with the tray, put down several things on the tray one by one, and wanted to exit.

"Wait a minute." The old nun called to the little nun.

"You can serve the noble man here!"

The little nun was stunned for a moment and looked up at the old nun.

As soon as he raised his head, Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were fixed on the little nun's face and couldn't leave.

I only saw her: meditating on Buddhism and having a peaceful mind, not being greedy for the world and loving the Three Jewels.The gentle sound of Zen penetrates the empty valley, and the lotus steps gently move the flowers under the moon.Everyone in the world seeks immortality in the world, but they forget that they have a home in this world.

This nun looks pretty and pleasant, but there is an air of secrecy in her body and mind, as if she is separated from the world.

Based on the appearance of this nun alone, she is not bad compared to Wang Xifeng and others, but slightly inferior to Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu.But his temperament is not worse than Lin Daiyu and others.

I didn't expect that this wilderness nunnery would hide such a fairy grass.

When the old nun saw Jia Rui staring at the little nun, she couldn't take her eyes away, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It turns out that this little nun was raised in the nunnery exclusively by the old nun. He taught her music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Buddhist rituals and worldly principles since she was a child.

However, this is not because the old nun is very kind to the little nun, but because he regards this little nun as a step towards spiritual advancement. As long as any nobleman takes a fancy to this little nun, he will not be allowed to rebuild his golden body for her little nunnery. Rebuild the temple.

But no noble person has ever come to his remote little nunnery, so things have been delayed. It was only today that he met Jia Rui.

Jia Rui was dazed for a moment, but soon woke up. He stared at the little nun again, like a hungry wolf looking at meat.

After that, he sat there as if nothing had happened, and was served by the little nun to eat.

After eating, Jia Rui washed his face and wiped his hands under the service of the little nun, and then left.

The old man personally took Jia Rui to the door.

Jia Rui stopped at the door of the nunnery, thought for a moment, turned around and said to the old nun: "Who served me just now?" The old nun's eyes lit up, and then he put his hands together in a pretentious manner and said: "Amitabha, that is my disciple. Cleanse the dust.”

A smile appeared on Jia Rui's lips, he took out a banknote from his arms, handed it to the old nun's hand and said:

"I see that your Narcissus Temple is still very simple. Using the money to rebuild the temple and build a golden body is my wish for the Buddha and Bodhisattvas."

The old nun glanced at the banknote and when she saw 500 taels on it, the smile on her face never stopped.

"Yes, yes, the donor is kind-hearted and sincere to Bodhisattva and Buddha. Buddha and Bodhisattva will definitely bless the donor in safety and health in the future."

After saying this, the old nun paused and then said:

"I asked Jingchendan to set up an immortal tablet for the donor, and asked her to chant sutras and pray for the donor day and night."

Jia Rui also heard the meaning of the old nun's words. He nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "If there is anything that cannot be solved in the future, I will send someone to Dingxihou Mansion."

Then he said to Wangcai beside him: "I'll leave this matter to you. If anything happens to Shuixian Temple in the future, you can handle it if you can."

Wangcai chuckled, and then said: "Don't worry, sir, I've remembered everything."

Only then did Jia Rui get on his horse with satisfaction and lead the people away.

The old nun looked at Jia Rui's leaving figure and breathed a long sigh of relief. Then she touched the banknote in her arms and felt that it was so solid.

Since she became the host of this small nunnery over the years, the total amount of alms given in this small nunnery is not as much as the silver note in her arms.

With this banknote, he can buy dozens of acres of land nearby, and then hire some tenants. From now on, he will have enough food and clothing, and he won't have to worry about trying to curry favor with the donors.

The old nun smiled, turned around and closed the door of the nunnery, then returned inside and came to the room of the little nun Jingchen.

The little nun Jingchen is currently in the room, reciting scriptures next to the Bodhisattva statue.

As soon as the old nun came in, Jingchen felt it immediately, immediately put down the wooden hammer and stood up.

"Master."

The old nun nodded, then sat down on a chair and said to the little nun Jingchen: "Do you have any ideas about my arrangements today?"

Jingchen said expressionlessly: "I pledged myself to the Buddha, and there are no more distracting thoughts in my heart. If that day comes, it will only be my death."

The old nun frowned. Did she teach this young apprentice too well?She really put all her thoughts on the Buddha.

This will not work.

This little apprentice is his cash cow. If she really has this idea, wouldn't he have trained her in vain all these years?

"Jingchen, Master, I see that your fate in this world is not over yet. You need to walk in the mortal world for a while to wash away the evil fate on your body, and then you can go straight to the Western Heaven with a pure body."

Jing Chen froze for a moment.

"Apprentice, master, I have met some people, but the Lord Jiaruijia I met today is a real nobleman. You will not suffer any injustice after following him."

The old nun wanted to say something when she saw Jingchen, and quickly added:

"Buddha once cut meat to feed eagles. With such great compassion, he attained Buddhahood. Just regard this as a calamity on your way to becoming a Buddha. If you can keep quiet with all your heart, naturally the world of mortals will not be able to contaminate you in the slightest. If you don’t have peace, you can live with a good family and have no worries for the rest of your life.”

After hearing this, Jingchen thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Then the disciple will do what the master wants."

When the old nun saw that Jingchen had agreed, she was overjoyed in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. Instead, she nodded gently, "You have wisdom and the compassion of a Bodhisattva in your heart. You should help others by yourself. I think the same is true for noble people." If you have Buddha thoughts in your heart, after you get together with him, you can also infect him with your wisdom roots. If it can happen, it will be a good thing."

Jingchen's mind was peaceful and she didn't even think that the old nun was lying to her. She remembered this matter as an important matter and planned to save Jia Rui in the future and enter the Pure Land of the West with her.

Not to mention, the little nun made up her mind here, and after Jia Baoyu was driven out by Jia Rui, she rode back to the city in embarrassment and re-entered Rongguo Mansion.

After coming back, he naturally did not dare to go to the front to attend Wang Xifeng's birthday banquet. Instead, he quietly re-entered the Grand View Garden and returned to his own Yihong Courtyard.

When he went in, he found that all the maids inside had gone to have fun, and even his eldest maid, Xiren, was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment.Several old ladies came back and happened to see Jia Baoyu, so they all laughed and said, "Amitabha is here! The flower girl is going crazy! They are sitting at the table above. Second Master, please go quickly."

After Jia Baoyu heard this, he quickly dismissed these old ladies, went into the house alone, found some clothes and changed into his plain robe, and then hurried forward.

When he came to a flower hall, he could only hear the sweet music of silk and bamboo. Just after passing through the hall, Jia Baoyu suddenly found a person crying there.

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be a jade bracelet.

Yuchai was also smart. When he saw Jia Baoyu, he quickly put away his tears and said with a smile on his face: "Phoenix is ​​coming. Come in quickly. If you don't come for a while, it will be the opposite."

Jia Baoyu came close to Yuchai and whispered into her ear: "What do you think I did just now?"

Yuchai didn't speak, but the tears on his face flowed down again.

Jia Baoyu felt distressed for a while and was about to comfort her, but Yuchai gently pushed Jia Baoyu and gestured inside.
