Chapter 563: It's not that easy to be his brother-in-law
Chapter 563 It's not that easy to be his brother-in-law
"This robe is so beautiful, and the shoes fit very well." He Zhi put on new clothes and shoes and came out, excitedly spinning in circles, "My master wants to compare the Fa with a lot of people at the Chinese New Year ritual, so I will wear this dress. , I will not embarrass Master."
The monks and Taoist priests of Dazhou wear clothes similar to ordinary men, the difference is all on their heads. The monks shave their hair, and choose to wear bald heads, monk hats or five Buddha crowns according to their grades or occasions; Taoist priests do not shave their hair, but wear the Five Sacred Sacred Crowns, Five Dou Crowns, Lotus Crowns or Five Old Crowns. However, many officials in Kang'an who like to pursue Taoism will also wear Wuyueguan and Wudou crown, so it is difficult to identify who is a Taoist based on clothing alone.
Therefore, the robe Jiang left for Hezhi to buy is also a popular style for Kangan teenagers this year. Seeing that he liked it so much, Jiang Liu was also very happy, "When is the Chinese New Year ceremony, can we go?"
"From the second day to the seventh day, the second day is in Xuandu Temple, the third day is in Changtian Temple, and the fourth day is in Jinxianguan..." Hezhi finished the introduction and said happily, "If you and Brother Ling can go, we can go. Listening to my master and other Taoist priests discussing Taoism and fighting methods, you can also eat delicious food. Master also said that when the Lingbao Temple is completed, we will hold the Dharma service for nine consecutive days!"
Lingbao Temple is a Taoist temple built by imperial edicts, and it must be extraordinary to observe the ritual. Jiang Liu's eyes were also bright, "We will definitely join in then and open our eyes."
"Master said that he would invite the second master to preside over the ceremony of worshiping Lingbao Tianzun." He was extremely excited to have a Taoist temple in Kang'an that belonged to him and his master, built by imperial edicts.
"My father is not a Taoist, can he also preside over the ceremony?" Jiang Liu asked curiously.
Mentioning Jiang Erye, Hezhi's bright eyes brightened a bit, and his little face turned redder, "Of course! My master said that Erye has a deep relationship, and it is most suitable for him to preside over the ceremony."
Jiang Liu and He Zhizheng were chatting hotly, Jiang Ling suddenly said, "Isn't my sister going to Shengpingfang? Now it's time to go back and prepare."
"Huh? Oh." Jiang Liuyu and Hezhi said goodbye, "I want to go to my grandfather's house with my sister, so let's go first."
"Wait." Hezhi took out a peach wood talisman from his arms and handed it to Jiang Liu, "My master heard that your grandmother was in poor health, and made this sickness talisman by hand."
"You go back and thank the Taoist priest for me, and my sister and I will go there to thank you in a few days." Jiang Liu took it with both hands, thinking about what kind of new year gift he should give the Taoist priest Yu Yuanzi.
After Jiang Liu left, Hezhi started to circle around again to admire his new clothes, and said happily, "These clothes are really nice, and the shoes are very warm, thank you Brother Ling."
Jiang Ling sullenly said, "Change your clothes back and follow me to the martial arts field to practice."
"Ah? Oh." Although Hezhi was reluctant to change into new clothes, he answered honestly and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ling, are we going to practice today?"
"Have you learned your kung fu?" Jiang Ling held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand and turned his fist.
Hezhi immediately lowered his head, "No."
"Professionalism is more than diligence, and waste is more than play." Jiang Ling strode out, with a cold expression on his face.
If you want to marry his sister, it’s not enough to just talk and make her happy. You also need to be talented in both civil and military affairs. When you grow up, you can make achievements and make a career, so that your sister can live comfortably. It's still too far from it, and it must be taught and tempered well!
"Girl, didn't we just go to Shengping Square just now?" Qin Bai, who was following Jiang Liu, was a little uncertain, suspecting that he remembered the time wrong, because it was more than half an hour before Sizheng.
Jiang Liu, with his little hands behind his back, jumped forward on the garden road made of irregular stone slabs, "Yes, but we have to go back and pack our things first."
Qin Bai suddenly realized. That's right, the three girls were busy reading ancient books all day, and the new year gift to the Wang family also had to be prepared by the girl.
When they returned to the western courtyard, they found that Jiang Muyan was preparing a New Year's gift for her grandmother. A few days ago, they had sent a batch, and this time they sent all the delicate and practical things: warm and comfortable wipes, medicinal herbs to nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and peace charms from Dayunjing Temple.
Jiang Liu handed the Taomu Talisman to his sister, "Daoist Yu Yuanzi heard that his grandmother was ill, so he made a sickness talisman and asked Hezhi to bring it over."
"That's great!" Taoist Master Yu Yuanzi was very skilled, and the talismans he made by himself were the most effective. Jiang Muyan's beautiful Danfeng eyes flashed with joy, and she asked Shutong to put away the peace talisman, and then found a brocade box to put the peach wood talisman in it, put it on the wooden box for the medicinal materials, and said earnestly, "We must thank the aisle well. ."
"Well, let's go to Wutong Temple in a few days to thank in person. After the Lingbao Temple is completed, we will donate another sum of incense money." Jiang Liu had already thought about it, "Hezhi said that from the second day of the new year, Kang'an six Daoguan is going to hold a Chinese New Year ritual, and I want to watch the fun with him."
Although Hezhi is a monk, his sister's frequent interactions with him also hindered his reputation. Jiang Muyan discouraged him, "There must be people everywhere when doing things in Taoist temples. What should I do if they are crowded and stepped on? It's better to play at home."
"Brother is also going, and Hezhi can take us to the inner courtyard, so we won't be crowded." Jiang Liu likes to be lively and wants to go out to play.
Jiang Ling is also going? Then it's fine. Jiang Muyan immediately felt relieved, "After you go out, you have to follow Jiang Ling closely and don't run around."
"Okay." Jiang Liu happily agreed. In the past few years, he was coaxed and spoiled by his family as a child. In front of them, Jiang Liu almost forgot that he was an adult who came from a thousand years later.
When he saw his grandmother at the Wang family in Shengpingfang, Jiang Liu knew at a glance that the prescription that Guan Shuyu had prescribed by the Imperial Medical Bureau was better than the one prescribed by the previous Langzhong. Although my grandmother was still in bed, she was able to sit up, no longer coughing one after another, and had the strength to speak.
Let the two granddaughters go to the bed. Mrs. Wang first praised Jiang Liu, then took Jiang Muyan's hand and asked carefully how Jiang Song and her son were doing in their studies. Jiang Muyan answered every question and was extremely patient and meticulous. Jiang Liu listened for a while, and couldn't help but opened his mouth and yawned.
Every time he came to Wang's house, Jiang Liu always felt that he was out of tune with this place. Although her grandmother would show her closeness every time, Jiang Liu could see that in her grandmother's eyes, she was an unnecessary person, because she did not have the knowledge and temperament that a woman from a scholarly family should have. Therefore, Jiang Liu couldn't get close to his grandmother, nor did he like the Wang family.
Daddy should feel the same as her every time he comes to Wang's house. Because she is more like Daddy in both appearance and temperament. It's strange to say, he clearly came from transmigration, how can he be so similar to his father? Jiang Liu's eyes wandered and he began to lose his mind.
Mrs. Wang noticed that the goddess of the little grandson was wandering in the sky, so she ordered her mother-in-law to fetch her favorite pastries, and said, "Liu'er sit at the table and eat slowly."
"Yes." Jiang Liu ran to the table to eat pastries, away from the academic circle. After sisters Wang Youhan and Wang Youxin came in, Wang Youhan joined the academic circle, and Wang Youxin went to the table to form a food group with Jiang Liu.
Because the grandfather's family and mother died because of Jiang's family, when the two sisters of the Wang family faced the Jiang family's sisters, they were polite and courteous, but they lost the intimacy between their relatives. Therefore, the discussion among the three people in the academic circle is in full swing, but the food group is worthy of the name: only eat, not talk.
When the meal was on the table, the old woman supported Mrs. Wang to sit on the soft couch, and Jiang Muyan served her to eat, and the academic discussion between the three turned into a daily routine.
Mrs. Wang said to Jiang Muyan, "Your eldest cousin is about to give birth in the next few days, you are all ready, it's time to send the birth-inducing gift to Lizhengfang."
