Chapter Ninety-Three: Plotting
One evening, Aunt Zhao took the little girl to buy a line in front of Jiajiajiao, and suddenly saw a donkey cart carrying a Taoist woman over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Aunt Zhao's eyes were sharp, and she recognized that it was Baoyu's registered godmother Ma Daopo, and hurriedly greeted: "Aunt Ma, where is this going?" ”
Ma Daopo sent a talisman from a family's house and got five taels of silver, which was too little. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her, stopped the donkey cart and looked at it, it turned out to be Aunt Zhao from Rongguo Mansion.
She also heard that the Jia family had fallen behind and moved from Rongguo Mansion to Xicheng, but she sighed with others, and she never thought to meet here.
Ma Daopo jumped out of the donkey cart and saluted Aunt Zhao, and after Aunt Zhao bought the thread, she invited Ma Daopo to her room to sit down. Ma Daopo couldn't ask for it, so she tied the donkey cart to a willow tree outside the corner gate, and followed Aunt Zhao into the Jia family's new house.
The Jia family said that it was dilapidated, but the scene inside did not show the atmosphere of decay and embarrassment. Indeed, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Ma Daopo rolled her eyes and looked around, sighing secretly in her heart from time to time.
Aunt Zhao led Ma Daopo back to the room, asked the little girl to make tea and brought it up, and drove her down to clean up, leaving Ma Daopo to talk about herself in the house.
Ma Daopo looked around at the things in Aunt Zhao's house, picked up the decorations on the table for a while, poked her head to look at Aunt Zhao's dresser for a while, and saw a pile of silk and satin materials in a bamboo basket, her eyes couldn't be taken off, she just picked up the materials inside, and said to Aunt Zhao: "Auntie, give me a few pieces of these small scraps?" I took it and glued a pair of uppers. ”
Aunt Zhao raised her head and said, "What's the good thing?" Even if there is a good one, it will not come to me. If you don't dislike it, pick a few pieces and take them yourself! Ma Daopo went to the bamboo basket and picked out a few pieces of material and put them on her body, and sat down to talk to Aunt Zhao:
"According to me, what is there to worry about? You have a son and a daughter, can you have fewer rich days in the future? ”
Aunt Zhao sighed: "Although I gave birth to a son and a daughter, I can't call someone else's mother?" I can't beat or scold, and when people get old, they have to be filial to the one on the top first, where can they take care of me? I said that I had a short amount of silver in my hand, and asked her to take two to buy things for Brother Huan'er, but she refused. The old man also prefers that phoenix egg, although there is still a son called Huan'er, and he has never seen it with his eyes. ”
Aunt Zhao said, rubbing her knees unconsciously with her hands, and said, "I'm most impatient to see these two. One is just a little more desirable, so he can coax him up and down to treat him as a treasure. A man with a black face like a plague god all day long, pinched all the money in the house in his hands all day long, and coaxed the three girls and Huan'er to be afraid of her and listen to her. ”
When Ma Daopo heard this, she said, "It's also a shame that you ignore it in your heart, and only let them go." If you are more calculating, you don't know what it looks like? ”
Aunt Zhao said: "My mother, I can't help them, who can do anything to them?" ”
Ma Daopo said: "Say something evil. You don't have the ability, you don't dare to do anything in the open, and you will be able to calculate it in secret, so do you have to wait like this? ”
When Aunt Zhao heard what Ma Daopo said, she was secretly happy in her heart, and said, "How can you secretly calculate?" I have a heart, but I don't have such a capable person. If you teach me this, I thank you very much. ”
Ma Daopo was about to lure Aunt Zhao to the bait, and when she heard this, she deliberately said: "Amitabha, don't ask me, where do I know these things, sins and sins." ”
Aunt Zhao said: "You are here again, you are the most willing person to help the poor, can you just watch others come to the mercy of our mother and son?" Are you afraid that I won't thank you? ”
The two of you muttered back and forth for a long time, and negotiated the price. Aunt Zhao wrote a contract of fifty taels of arrears, gave Ma Daopo all the money she had saved up, and took out some good clothes and jewelry to put it on.
Ma Daopo saw these things and had an IOU, so she accepted it.
Ma Daopo asked for a piece of paper, took scissors and reamed two paper figures, asked to write the eight characters of the birthdays of the two, found a piece of blue paper, hinged five blue-faced ghosts, asked Aunt Zhao to take a needle and nail it in one place, and said to Aunt Zhao: "I do it at home, and I can test it myself." ”
Sending Ma Daopo away, Aunt Zhao believed and doubted, and tremblingly took a needle to nail the paper man with the eight characters of birth and the blue-faced ghost together. Afraid that people would see it, he stuffed it under his bed.
Quietly for most of the day, there was nothing in the house.
In the evening, Aunt Zhao felt restless. She sent the little girl out to inquire about the news, and heard that everything was quiet and there was nothing.
Aunt Zhao slept suspiciously for most of the night, with nightmares, and asked people to inquire early the next morning, but everywhere was still quiet, so that she thought that Ma Daopo had cheated the silver and would not harm anyone.
In the evening, Jia Baoyu was learning from Jia Zheng in his study, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from the window.
Jia Zheng didn't notice it, and was still talking about the arguments of some officials in the court in the past, when Jia Baoyu suddenly fell to the ground and shouted: "It hurts! Headache! ”
Jia Zheng suddenly panicked and hurriedly called the little guy in. I saw Baoyu kicking and kicking like a fight, and he was still screaming pain in his mouth.
Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered someone to hold him down, carried him back to the room on a chair, and hurriedly sent someone to ask for a doctor.
In Jia's mother's room, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Li Kun were accompanying Jia's mother to wipe the cards to eat, and Mrs. Wang's eyes were suddenly red, and she grabbed the tea bowl and domino and started fighting.
Jia's mother was taken aback, the mandarin duck hurriedly protected Jia's mother, and everyone left their seats in a hurry to avoid Mrs. Wang's indiscriminate attack, while shouting to call people over.
At this time, Mrs. Wang had finished smashing things, ran to the yard, felt a stick that bolted the door, and saw people beating people, seeing dogs beating dogs, and hitting all the way.
Mrs. Xing and Li Kun hurriedly chased out, only to see a few small servants hurriedly running over from the study, carrying a chariot over, and there was a person lying on the chariot who was still twisting left and right and talking nonsense, it was Baoyu.
Jia Mu also chased out, and saw Mrs. Wang's back while beating the side, and the place she passed was like a strong wind passing through, and the mother-in-law who rushed up to grab the stick was knocked over four or five, and she was scared enough. Seeing Baoyu is this scene again, he was stunned, trembling and trembling for a long time, while shouting to call people to find the goddess, the Taoist priest, and the imperial doctor, he couldn't help crying bitterly.
The rest of Li Kun, Mrs. Xing and others, as soon as they heard Jia's mother's instructions, suddenly seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and hurriedly called people out to invite these people.
At this time, at last, a few bold and agile mothers-in-law threw Mrs. Wang to the ground and snatched away the stick, and Mrs. Xing hurriedly called someone to restrain Mrs. Wang and send her back to the room.
When night fell, the courtyard of the Jia family was unusually lively. The imperial doctor came to see the old love and silver in the past, and said that the abnormality of the two people was not a disease, and asked them to ask for another master.
Jia Zheng had no choice but to ask someone to prepare a carriage and take the post to the temple and Taoist temple outside the city.
For a while, people from all walks of life came, dancing gods, catching ghosts, sticking talismans and sending talismans, tossing for most of the night, and Mrs. Wang and Baoyu were not good.
Jia Zhengchou's hair turned white, and those monks and Taoists saw that things were not good, and took the silver taels, so they hinted that he should prepare for the future.
