Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Isn’t this the verdict of Miaoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber?

It turns out that Miaoyu already knew the verdict, but just hadn't found a way to decipher it.

So she was afraid of mud. In the book, she spoke coldly to Granny Liu, the only person who was closest to the mud.

I thought that this would help me avoid the quagmire, but unfortunately this quagmire is not the same as that one.

It's totally wrong.

A trace of sadness flashed across Miaoyu's eyes. She whispered to herself with a choked voice:

"Master, you have never known where the disaster came from. For this reason, you took me to many places, from Suzhou to the capital."

"If it weren't for these troubles, Master, you might not have died young."

She looked up to the sky with tears in her eyes, clasped her hands together, and prayed devoutly:

"Master, did you see it? I have waited for it, I have finally waited for it. Perhaps, God and Buddha will be kind to me after all."

Miaoyu's emotions could no longer be suppressed, and her tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, wetting her clothes.

She turned to Lin Daiyu, bowed deeply, and said in a trembling voice:

"Miss Lin, your kindness is like giving me a new life. You are like my second parents. If you have any request, I will do my best to obey you."

Lin Daiyu's heart tightened. She didn't think she had done anything remarkable.

But she could empathize with the master and his disciples' ten years of searching, and the despair of knowing that death was approaching but unable to escape.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to hold Miaoyu, "Master Miaoyu, there is no need to be so polite."

"I didn't do anything, but if I really need you, don't refuse."

"I don't know what politeness is."

"It's your safety. There's only one nun in your nunnery. How can you guarantee it?"

"Do you want me to help you find some good fighters?"

Miaoyu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said slowly:

"Don't worry, knowing where the threat is is the best defense."

"I have some knowledge of mechanical devices. I originally thought that the protection provided by a noble family did not require such skills. Now it seems that it is time to make some arrangements."

"If you really need bodyguards, I will arrange for Jingxin to recruit them."

Lin Daiyu felt relieved when she heard this. In this era, although women are talented and beautiful, they often find it difficult to protect themselves.

"In that case, you and I will become friends. If you have any problems in the future, you can also ask someone to go to the Lin Mansion to find me."

Miaoyu nodded and accepted Lin Daiyu as her friend from the bottom of her heart.

The two of them felt a mutual understanding at this moment. They smiled at each other at the same time, left the quiet room and went back to the nunnery.

When Shi Xiangyun saw that these two close friends had finished talking, she couldn't help but make some sarcastic remarks.

The two of them naturally had different views from her.

Shi Xiangyun also felt bored and was the first to say goodbye and leave. Lin Daiyu and Jia Xichun also followed her out of the nunnery.

……

When the three of them came out, they saw that the other people had been waiting at the door.

In addition to Xue Baochai, Jia Baoyu also has the three sisters, including the maids and old women behind them. It's like an outing.

I was indeed afraid that my masters would be cold, so I held them in my arms with a hot water bottle and wrapped them in a large coat.

The three people who came out were a little dumbfounded.

As for that?

Shi Xiangyun looked at Xue Baochai in surprise, "Sister Bao, why don't you find a room to stay in?"

"It's just a waste of time waiting. It's freezing to death."

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Tanchun and Yingchun, and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. We're all worried about the old lady."

"We are all waiting to see if we can do our bit to help find the whereabouts of the stolen items."

"I'm anxious to go back alone."

"How is it? Did Master Miaoyu do the writing?"

Shi Xiangyun looked at the people who were shivering from the cold, and was a little afraid of discouraging them, so she said vaguely: "Let's talk about it when we get back. Master Miaoyu has already responded."

When everyone heard this, they were delighted and urged: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Let's go back quickly."

Jia Tanchun moved closer to Lin Daiyu and Jia Xichun and asked quietly,

"What's going on? Is it reliable?"

Lin Daiyu smiled at her, "What do you think? Anyway, I don't think it's reliable."

Jia Xichun also shook her head and said nothing.

Tanchun was silent.

Anyway, I can't see what the mystery is, so I can't join in the fun.

Just wait and see! This is going to make the whole room laugh.

……

"Girl Yun, Girl Four, what did Master Miaoyu say?"

As soon as they arrived at the outer hall of Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Wang and several other ladies stared at Shi Xiangyun expectantly.

There was no way, only three people went in, and Baochai and Baoyu were not there, which made Mrs. Wang very unhappy.

None of those who went there were from the Rong Mansion. I sent out invitations to invite you here, and provided you with delicious food and drink, but now it is so difficult to use you.

You really think you have become a divine nun.

Mrs. Wang was angry in her heart, but her tone was calm and cold.

She didn't expect Lin Daiyu to say anything, so she didn't even mention it.

Shi Xiangyun didn't expect that so many people here were paying attention to this matter. Would there be any problem if Miaoyu made up something?

She looked around at Xichun and Daiyu, but neither of them was looking at her. They were all looking at their own toes, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shi Xiangyun also risked her life.

She directly spoke out Miaoyu's nonsense.

“Things are not things, mind is not mind, everywhere is the return to the truth.”

"Disease is not disease, tranquility is not tranquility, and everyone is at peace."

“Let fate come and go, don’t force anything.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wang asked blankly.

"Yes! What does that mean? It's not decrypted?" Several other ladies asked.

Shi Xiangyun shook her head.

Xue Baochai slowly pondered these words. She wanted to taste the opportunity in these words. Suddenly, she had an idea and suddenly felt that it was the right thing to do.

Her face was blossoming, and she clapped her hands in praise.

"Wonderful!"

"As expected, you are Master Miaoyu, a master of spirit writing."

"Aunt, is the thing lost in the mansion a round object?" Xue Baochai asked Mrs. Wang happily.

Mrs. Wang cooperated very passively and nodded, "Indeed."

"It is difficult for this object to be a thing on its own. It comes and goes as fate dictates."

"Master Miaoyu's spirit writing poem almost tells us directly that the lost items have returned."

"Aunt, why don't we let someone see if we've returned to the same place?"

"To verify Master Miaoyu's ability!"

Xue Baochai's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered some secret treasure.

Everyone stared at her without blinking, and some ladies just couldn't believe it.

Although there are devout believers in Buddhism and Taoism in every family, they only do so to seek peace of mind. Who has ever seen Buddhism or Taoism deal with specific matters?

If everyone could calculate like this, wouldn't they be able to calculate where they could get promoted and make money?

It's definitely the Jia family's attempt to be mysterious.

After listening to Xue Baochai's words, Mrs. Wang suddenly understood. She quickly ordered,

"Mrs. Zhou Rui, go, go in person and check with the old lady's people to see if this is the case. Have we returned to the original place?"

Zhou Ruijia followed the order and left. Not long after, she rushed back with the warehouse manager and others, reporting excitedly:

"Great joy! Great joy!"

Before Zhou Ruijia could finish her words, several people in charge of the warehouse burst into tears of joy.

When he came near, he knelt down.

"Who is this living Bodhisattva? Who is this benefactor?

"I kowtow to her, kowtow loudly! I work like a slave for her?"

"What's going on?" Mrs. Wang interrupted the managers' profuse thanks and stood up in ecstasy.

The voice was trembling, the hands were shaking,

"Zhou Ruijia, you say."

Zhou Ruijia was panting and taking a deep breath.

"Madam! Heaven and earth are clear, the oriental pearl given by the late emperor has returned to the plate."

Mrs. Wang was trembling all over at this time, "God bless our Rongguo Mansion, God bless our Jia family."

"Go tell the old lady and make her happy too?"

"This Master Miaoyu is unrivalled in his ability to use the spirit writing technique! It's incredible!"

At this point, everyone found it even more incredible. This looked like a play directed and performed by himself, and using the imperial gift as a prop was really bold.

And what’s the point?

In order to make the family peaceful, you want to disrupt everything by checking and inspecting?

Or they would steal something and then, when they saw that it was a gift from the emperor, they couldn’t resell it, so they would secretly put it back.

It must be like this.

Everyone is looking for the self-righteous answer in their hearts.

Shi Xiangyun suddenly felt that everything was so dreamy.

At this time, she admired Xue Baochai even more and doubted her own IQ.

Why can't I figure it out? What's wrong with me?

But Miaoyu didn't use the planchette!
