Summary:

That day the monk came again and asked for the ten thousand silver. When Baoyu heard about it, a man came forward and shouted, "Where is my master?" When he saw the monk, he saluted him and asked if the monk came from the "Taixu Illusion Realm".

The monk said: "You don't know where you came from, so come and ask me!" Baoyu was originally enlightened, and after enlightenment, he had already seen through the world of mortals, so he wanted to return the jade to the monk and go in. Go get the jade.

When Xiren heard that he wanted to return the jade, it was his lifeblood, so he stopped him from taking it out. Seeing this, Zijuan forgot that he had always been indifferent to Baoyu, and hugged Xiren together. , pull it, don't take the jade out.

Mrs. Wang and Baochai came over and tried to persuade her for a while. Baochai took the jade from Baoyu and said that she would break her head and face into silver and give it to the monk. Baoyu had no choice but to retreat and settle for the next best thing, saying that it was okay not to give him jade but to go out and see him.

Everyone agreed, but they were not at ease, so they asked the boys to follow and listened to Baoyu and the monk talking about "Dahuang Mountain", "Qinggeng Peak", "Taixu Realm", and What do you say about "cutting off the worldly bond" and other words? Inside, Baochai was so frightened that his eyes widened. After a while Baoyu came in and said with a smile: "Okay, okay". The boys went to ask the monk, and the monk said that they didn't need any money, as long as Mr. Bao came to his place from time to time, and then left.

When Jia Lian received the news that Jia She was seriously ill, he came to discuss with Mrs. Wang about visiting his father, and asked Mrs. Wang to take care of Sister Qiao. This was the only thing he couldn't worry about.

Mrs. Wang said that Sister Qiao had a serious mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing, so why did she entrust her to her? But Jia Lian couldn't explain the reason. Mrs. Wang should also know what kind of person Mrs. Xing was.

Jia Lian knelt down to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang had no choice but to agree and asked Jia Lian, if someone proposes marriage to Sister Qiao, should she wait for him to come back, or should Mrs. Xing make the decision? Jia Lian said that he was out and would not be able to come back for a while, so it would be up to his wives to make the decision.

Jia Lian and Mrs. Wang arranged some more housework. When it came to the garden and Xichun, after all, it was a matter in Dongfu, and only You made the decision. Jia Yun and Jia Qiang were entrusted outside, and Wang Ren was also asked to take care of them.

Ping'er was worried about Sister Qiao, but couldn't find a suitable person to come home to stay with Sister Qiao, so she could only take good care of her.

Jia Yun and Jia Qiang lived in the study outside, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang could not control the outside.

So, Uncle Xing, Wang Ren, Jia Yun and Jia Qiang, together with Jia Huan and the junior servants of the Lai and Lin families, all gathered together to play, gamble and drink, and caused a disturbance in the Rongguo Mansion. There is no way up or down.

When the crowd was gathering, they had free time to chew on Baoyu and others, but they didn’t know that Baoyu had already decided to become a monk, Jia Huan’s mother was dead, Mrs. Wang didn’t like him, and Tanchun had also married away. , no one cared about her, so she naturally played with them. Only Jia Lan followed her mother, always studying, and eager to learn and make progress.

Uncle He said that Sister Feng was not good and ignored him. After hearing this, Jia Huan said viciously that he was not dead, and there would be retribution for leaving a Qiaojie behind.

Only the two wine companions listened attentively, asked Sister Qiao about her age, and lied to them that a prince from another vassal was looking for a concubine, so why not take Sister Qiao there and drop some money.

While everyone was chatting, there was a commotion inside. It turned out that Xichun and Youshi had another quarrel over the issue of becoming a monk, and Xichun had her hair cut off.

Everyone couldn't resist, so they had to agree to Xichun becoming a monk. The only difference was that he didn't need to shave his hair, and he just had to keep it on for practice, and there was no need to go to the nunnery, so they used the house where Xichun lived as a quiet room.

This is a summary of Chapter 117.
