In a blink of an eye, it was time to make a land and water dojo for Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. The www.biquge.info dojo is located in Jiangkou, and nearly 100 monks from four or five families such as Hanshan Temple and Panxiang Temple in Suzhou have come.

The altar was set up two days ago, and each temple either occupied an altar, or some occupied two, and invited the statues of the gods in their own temples to come out, and prepared fresh fruits and flowers to worship, and the incense was full of incense, and the smoke was rising.

The Lin family all gathered over, including the wife of Lin Rucheng, the commander of Jiaxing County, and chartered an inn in Jiangkou.

The inner altar in the great ritual is enshrined with three Buddha statues, and the offering table around the Buddha statue is dedicated to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min and the tablets of the ancestors of the Lin family, as well as various Dharma instruments such as the main law, the main table, and the sub-table. The monks chanted sutras and prayed, asked the enchantment to seal the altar, and did great things.

Lin Daiyu participated in the whole process, releasing a red carp with her own hands on the sixth day, and praying to the monks and sending the saints on the seventh day.

Maybe it was a little different from others, after the send-off, Lin Daiyu vaguely heard a thank you, turned around to look back, but saw nothing, only wisps of green smoke on the altar, and a crimson glow fell on the altar in the middle of the altar.

After the seven-day ritual was completed, everyone felt exhausted, only Lin Daiyu was in good spirits, so she asked Zijuan to bring the box containing the silver ticket, took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels to the money village to exchange for a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, and asked Wang Shun to send it to various Taoist temples.

After doing these things, someone came to report that the prefect's wife of Suzhou had visited, Daiyu thought about it, and guessed that the reason for the prefect's inexplicable visit was probably related to Jia Zheng, and hurriedly asked the girls to prepare a fruit plate of tea for the guests, Zijuan helped her change her clothes, and Daiyu welcomed her to the second door to receive her.

Mrs. Prefect is a woman in her early thirties, and it can be seen from her eyebrows that she was also a typical Jiangnan person when she was young, but her face is no longer fair, dull and yellow, and the whole person looks a little listless.

Seeing the delicate willow-like Daiyu come out to greet her, her eyes lit up, and then she regained her gloom, barely cheering up to be polite to Daiyu.

The two sides sat down in the living room, and Lin Daiyu accompanied the prefect's wife to speak.

The prefect's wife also seemed to be not good at communicating, so she asked some trivial questions without knowing what to say, and pulled out a hairpin on her head and wanted to give it to Lin Daiyu.

Daiyu excused herself a few times, and saw that the prefect's wife was flushed and insisted on giving it to her, so she had to thank her.

The prefect's wife muttered for a while, her expression relaxed, and she took a few sips of tea before leaving.

Lin Daiyu sent her to the second gate, and the prefect's wife looked at the hairpin in Zijuan's hand and stopped talking, and finally said nothing and said goodbye.

Daiyu sent the Suzhou prefect away and was also relieved. She is not a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, so it is really tiring to receive a person who also can't speak.

Daiyu took the hairpin from the prefect's wife from Zijuan's hand, played with it in her hand, and couldn't help but feel strange in her heart:

This prefect's wife looks like she specially sent this hairpin, but this hairpin is obviously just an ordinary golden hairpin, and even the craftsmanship is very ordinary.

Qingwen picked up the fruit plate and brought it to the little girls outside, Daiyu stopped her and asked her to take the hairpin back to the room and put it away.

Qingwen took it in her hand, and immediately felt that the weight of the hairpin was a little wrong, so she said "strange" first, and pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, but felt that the hairpin given by the prefect's wife was obviously much lighter.

Daiyu saw her like this, and she picked it up herself, and there was indeed a big disparity in weight.

Daiyu returned Qingwen's hairpin to Qingwen, and dropped the hairpin given by the prefect's wife on the ground, Zijuan picked it up, but saw that the hairpin was split in half, the hairpin body was hollow, and a small slender paper tube was rolled inside.

The paper tube was pulled out, but I saw that it was a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, a total of five rolled together.

Daiyu suddenly understood the intention of this prefect's wife, she was afraid that she came to give Jia Zheng a gift for the prefect of Suzhou.

At this time, the people have already gone away, and even if they return it immediately, they may offend the Suzhou prefect and cause trouble to the construction of the academy.

Lin Daiyu thought about it, asked Zijuan to carefully lock the hairpin and silver ticket, and when Jia Zheng came back, she would send it to the pen washing house where Jia Zheng lived.

Just put away the hairpin here, and another little girl came to report: "The third wife of the Lin family is here!" ”

Lin Daiyu knew that the third wife was the wife of the Jiaxing County Order, and the lady of the school clerk who visited her in Kyoto was a concubine, so she hurriedly packed up her mood and greeted her.

For these relatives who play the family card, Lin Daiyu always receives them seriously.

Those who really care about her, she also treats them as relatives sincerely, and she will not let anyone ask for benefits in the name of family affection.

Dealing with it like this is still tiring.

If these relatives can be less calculating, like real relatives, what will they lose?

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but secretly hope that this relative, who was recommended by the Kyoto school scrivener, could look like a relative.

This Mrs. Ling of Jiaxing County is nearly forty years old, with a cool appearance, a round figure, wearing a brocade embroidered spring shirt and two jade hairpins. When I saw Lin Daiyu, my eyebrows and eyes smiled first, and two deep dimples suddenly appeared on my face.

Daiyu met according to the courtesy, and the third lady stepped forward to hold Daiyu's hand, looked at it, and said with a smile:

"I've been watching you for a few days in Eguchi, and I wanted to talk to you, but I'm afraid that everyone will come to disturb you. So until today, you won't blame me, will you? ”

Lin Daiyu smiled and shook her head, the third lady took her into the house, asked about the itinerary along the way, and asked if she was still used to eating after arriving in Suzhou, and Daiyu answered them one by one.

The third lady took out another three thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to Lin Daiyu: "Others think that your parents have left endless mountains of gold and silver, but I know it." Donate so much, I'm afraid that money will be tight. ”

Lin Daiyu hurriedly excused herself, and Mrs. Lin San said: "This is the money for the water and land dojo, and everyone else has a share." ”

Lin Daiyu resigned one after another, and Mrs. Lin San had no choice but to put it away. At noon, he left Mrs. Lin San for dinner, and sent Mrs. Lin San out in the afternoon, and in the evening, Jia Zheng returned to Lin Mansion exhausted.

At dinner time, Daiyu asked Zijuan to put the hairpin and silver ticket into a small box and send it to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng frowned at the silver ticket and hairpin, and asked someone to reply to Daiyu for a while: "Just say I know, so that you girls don't have to worry." ”

Zijuan came back to send a message to Lin Daiyu, and Daiyu was relieved. When it was time for dinner, Qingwen and Baoyu came from behind the inner courtyard with the fragrance of flowers and red stains.

Seeing them like this, Daiyu couldn't help but sigh again, and told Zijuan to let a little girl quietly go to Baoyu's Zhenlong Courtyard to get him a set of clothes, and let the kitchen add two more dishes.

Baoyu smiled and asked Zijuan to serve him to wash his face, and Qingwen went to the next room to wash up and changed into clean clothes.

Daiyu said angrily: "You two are obsessed, you tinker with these things all day long, and your uncle finds out, see if he doesn't beat you!" ”
