"Did you go to Puji Nunnery to make incense?" Yan Qi asked.

"Incense, tea, fasting, chatting with friends, left is just these rich and idle children. Mrs. Cui waved her hand as she spoke, turning her head to leave.

"Can you take me with you?" Yan Qi followed her.

Mrs. Cui turned her head and looked at her in wonder: "Don't you play with Xiao Si'er?" there is no fun place in that temple, it is all idle wives like us, there is nothing to talk nonsense, you don't like to listen to it - but the food in the temple is very delicious, and the tea is good, if you want to eat, I will take you there, but if you stay bored, I can't send you back, I have made an appointment with a few wives to get together, and it is not good to leave the table early. ”

"It's okay, it's almost the New Year, and I'm trying to ask for a peace charm for my family. "Yan Qidao.

"Alright, then come with me. Mrs. Cui pulled Yan Qi into her car, and her mouth was not idle on the road, "Your uncle has been busy lately? I haven't seen him come to our house as a guest, but those relatives in your Uncle Cui's hometown who are not four or six have sent a few jars of good wine, go back and tell your uncle, let him come to our house to eat and taste wine when he is free...... I have recently got a few good skins in the clothes shop where I got married, your uncle is particular about clothes, this skin is designated to his liking, when he wants to go to the shop to see, let people come to the ward and I say, let's ...... it."

Yan Qi: "......"

"Your second sister is married, shouldn't it be the turn of Xiao Wu?" Mrs. Cui also talked about the topic in all directions, where she wanted to say, "Are you optimistic about others? If not...... Another day, I would like to invite your aunt to come to my house and sit down. ”

"...... "Is this to make Yan Wu and Cui Xi a pair?" "My eldest aunt also often goes to Puji Nunnery, haven't you seen her in the nunnery?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it, but I can't make it to talk, your aunt is rich, not like us who are poor ghosts. Mrs. Cui said as she rolled her eyes and pursed the corners of her lips and snorted twice.

"Does it cost anything to go to Puji Nunnery?" Yan Qi asked.

"Do you eat food for nothing?" Mrs. Cui stretched out a slender jade finger and shook it, "Let me tell you, Puji Nunnery has three treasures: tea fragrance, Zhaimei, and good massage." This tea is the tea planted in the nunnery, and the tea garden is wrapped in the south, and it is made exclusively and secretly, not for sale, not as a gift, and if you want to drink it, you can only go to the nunnery to spend money to drink;

"What about vegetarian food, in the past, only Chiba Temple's vegetarian food was famous in Beijing, but now compared with this vegetarian meal in Puji'an, it really tastes bad! Even people like me who dare not eat more at every meal can't help but eat two big bowls, and the taste can be imagined! Only this vegetarian meal also costs money to buy, although it is expensive, but after eating, you feel that the money is well spent!

"And then there is massage, you also know, although there is a doctor in this palace who specializes in massage, but those are all men, and they can only be used on the masters, women like us in the house, every day to socialize, often sit upright for a whole day, and then there are those troubles inside and outside, and feel tired and tired, only rely on the two knives of the maid at home to knead and knead and knead at all, and there are very few female doctors who specialize in massage.

"The wonder of this Puji Nunnery is that the abbot is too proficient in the art of massage, and has taught many apprentices, who can massage and relieve pain and fatigue for housewives like us in the house, and the craft is really good, every time I pinch and press the whole body, it is called a comfort! The whole body is relaxed and soft, several times I can't help but fall asleep, and when I wake up, the spirit is a hundred times the troubles disappear, and the big things in the head do not feel worried.

"It's just that this massage costs more money than tea and fasting, and I can't compare to your aunt, I don't dare to do it again after doing it seven or eight times, and I have to slow it down for a while...... It's your aunt, go and do it every now and then, how much hard work and sorrow are there at home on weekdays?" Mrs. Cui said and rolled her eyes again, "What I know is that she has a strong foundation for marriage and is not afraid of spending money, but I don't know how messy your family is, which makes her so troubled and exhausted! I am not afraid of being so profligate and affect Brother Yan's evaluation!"

"......" Mrs. Cui's temperament has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, not afraid of anything, dare to say anything, I heard that when she is not married, she is pampered at home, and her parents are used to it, and after getting married, she is used to her in-laws' husband and son, and she doesn't have much scheming, and she is not afraid of Yan Qi saying it out.

Of course, Yan Qi will not say it outside, Mrs. Quan in the official circle in Beijing secretly yy Yan Zike There are many people, and Mrs. Yan naturally looks down on Mrs. Yan, this one in front of her is the one who does the most undisguised work, but if Yan Zike and Cui Chun come to the point of life and death, people will definitely stand up to their husbands and help kill Yan Zike.

Listening to Mrs. Cui's talk about the meaning of Puji'an, how is it a bit like a one-stop service for great health care? Drinking tea, eating, chatting, and massage, it is almost time to take a bath and sing and open a room. Mrs. Yan has been worrying a lot lately, and it is very possible to go to Tuina to relax and relax, and Tuina can not only relax the muscles and bones, many medical and surgical diseases can be treated with Tuina, and I even heard that it can also help increase the chance of conception.

Could it be that Mrs. Yan is for this? No wonder it is worth spending a lot of money.

But...... Ahem, Yan Zike seems to have not had sex with her for a long time, right? Of course, she can also take advantage of this effort to seize the time to recuperate.

The kung fu carriage that was talking had stopped in front of the Puji Nunnery, and Mrs. Cui took Yan Qi and two personal maids to go inside, and showed the famous thorn to the nun guarding the door at the gate of the second courtyard, and then went straight to the third courtyard.

There are also gatekeepers at the gate of the third courtyard, and after carefully looking at Mrs. Cui's famous thorn, I have to ask what is the relationship between Yan Qi and Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Cui didn't think about it, and came with nonsense: "My niece and daughter, she looks like her uncle." ”

There seems to be something wrong with "............ Is this a verbal advantage of Yan Zike......

The nun glanced at Yan Qi's face several times, and then she was willing to let everyone into the hospital, the layout of the courtyard Yan Qi had already understood it when she visited Xiao Chen at night that night, and there was nothing worth noting, Mrs. Cui took her to the east chamber with a familiar car, counted the second room from north to south, pushed the door in, and there were already two or three wives of the same age sitting and drinking tea.

Mrs. Cui introduced Yan Qi, seeing that they were all wives or sisters of relevant officials of the Ministry of Industry and Rites, everyone was already very familiar with each other, laughing and chatting around, and a little nun brought two cups of tea up, and put them in front of Mrs. Cui and Yan Qi, Yan Qi picked it up and smelled it, and felt fragrant.

"How much does this tea cost?" Yan Qi asked Mrs. Cui quietly.

"Drink, drink, I'll invite you. Mrs. Cui said cheerfully.

The word "please" must be used when drinking tea, which shows that this tea must not be cheap.

Mrs. Cui soon joined the chatter of several wives, nothing more than what the family was busy with when the New Year was approaching, gossip and scandals in the official circle, and hearsay anecdotes, which were no different from the topics at the usual gatherings, Yan Qi sat quietly next to her, listening to these aunts Kan Dashan while looking out of the glass window.

In the third half an hour, several guests came to the third courtyard, each went to a different wing, Yan Qi could only see the opposite wing, looking in from the glass window, the people in the opposite room were just drinking tea and chatting in the same mode, this situation was a bit like a leisure club, a small private room one by one, people gathered with three or five friends in it, and had a tea party to pass the time.

After sitting for a while, Yan Qi came out of the room under the pretext of going to the toilet, grabbed the little nun who was in charge of serving tea and water, and asked, "I want to do massage, where do I want to go?"

The little nun looked at her, saluted and said with a smile: "The little donor is coming for the first time, right? I don't know the rules of the nunnery - new customers can't do massage, they need to use 9981 pots of arhat tea in the nunnery, eat 7749 meals of Bodhi Zhai, take off the mortal womb, replace the mortal bones, in order to enjoy the massage, wash the marrow and change the tendons, and achieve the body of King Kong." ”

…… What is the difference between this and how much money can be upgraded to a level and privileges? If it is expected, there should be a minimum consumption limit for the third courtyard, such as the minimum consumption of a cup of tea, or the money for a private room, and it is not good that this nunnery has also established a membership file for the pilgrims, and every time you consume, you will be given a record, and if you consume enough, you will be promoted to a gold member or even a platinum member——

"If I eat tea at your place from now on, how can you keep track of how many times I've used it?" Yan Qi asked.

"The nunnery has a separate incense book for each pilgrim, and the donor will record every cup of tea and a meal, and the tea money and rice will be made to worship the Buddha's sesame oil offerings, and the Buddha will know the donor's sincerity. The little nun said.

Sure enough, there are really customer files.

As for the money for sesame oil, candles, paper, and offerings, this is to deceive the elderly, children, and truly devout believers, otherwise with such a high consumption, how much sesame oil offerings can be bought with this money! The old man of the Buddha and his family does not eat meat, so how much money can be spent on vegetarian fasting? A golden body can be used for many years, and you have earned so much silver from pilgrims, is it possible that you want to change a set of gold clothes for the Buddha in a day?

Huge profits! Some people are making huge profits under the guise of religion!

But this kind of practice should not be considered a crime in the current dynasty...... This is a willing thing to fight, unless Puji'an is cheating, but people are not cheating, tea, rice, massage, are clearly marked prices, which is no different from selling creativity, selling secret recipes, selling technology, selling brands, the same is a bun, Gou Buli can be a hundred times more expensive than the street stalls, not to mention that it is regarded by Buddhism as a medicine for hunger, can nourish the body, and nourish the wisdom of the fast.

"I heard that massage here is very famous, but why didn't I see a room dedicated to massage?

In fact, even if she doesn't pretend, that paralyzed face has a good mental retardation effect.

The little nun was a little amused, lowered her head to cover up, and said: "I can't do it in the Buddhist hall, because I have to take off my clothes to do massage, although there are all female guests in the nunnery, after all, there are many evasions, so I need to go to the courtyard next to it to do massage." As he spoke, he pointed to the cross-courtyard in the west, and then he didn't want to stay any longer to entangle with Yan Qi, so he gave a salute and left.

Yan Qi and Xiao Chen, who crossed the courtyard in the west, had already explored that night, and they were all places where the nuns stayed, but there were many houses in that courtyard, and it was okay to spare a few rooms for massage rooms.

Is the truth really just that simple? Just to drink tea, eat fast, and do massage, the Sui family put a lot of money into this nunnery? Then again, if people really burn money like this, she has no reason to stop others.

When he left Puji Nunnery, Yan Qi was stared at too much by the master he had seen when he first came.

When I returned to Yanfu, the first yard from the gate to the second gate was occupied by more than a dozen big white geese - the tenants who sent the New Year's goods also somehow accidentally released the goose out of the cage, good guys, chased the small guys in the house all over the place, a person behind the butt with one, Yan Qi was not spared, directly let a big male goose chase into the hanging flower door, the first group of mother-in-law girls in the hanging flower door are arguing with another batch of people who send New Year's goods, what red satin is missing two horses, The green satin is missing three things, and it is very noisy, and then go to the inner house, see the mopping of the house, the cleaning of the glass for the new lantern, the moving of tables and chairs, the washing and dismantling of the quilt, Yan Qi ran all the way with his skirt, and everywhere there was the busyness and liveliness of the approaching New Year.

The twentieth day of the lunar month was a good day, and as soon as she had breakfast, Mrs. Qiao asked Qiao Lezi to send someone to the gate of the Lu Mansion to take a turn, Qiao Lezi only wondered, when did the old lady know that there was a Lu Mansion in this capital? Why did she go to the gate of the Lu Mansion to take a turn? Ask the old lady, the old lady just poked his finger at his brain: "What do you care about all the things your mother do?! Let you call someone to see it, and hurry up!"

Qiao Lezi had no choice, so he had to summon a subordinate to run to the Lu Mansion, and came back for a while to say that the Lu Mansion seemed to be holding a banquet, and there were many carriages parked at the door, all of which belonged to the official family. Qiao Lezi wondered even more, is it not normal for people to hold banquets? What does it have to do with the old lady? This old lady is quite well-informed, and she even knows that Renlu Mansion is holding a banquet today.

When he returned, he told Mrs. Qiao, and Mrs. Qiao looked at him: "All the carriages parked at the door are official carriages, right? There are a lot of people, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong with this, mother?" Qiao Lezi didn't know what the old lady was crazy about today.

I saw his old lady slap Zhang Dahong's note on the table: "Write your name!"

What's the matter, let me write the name...... Qiao Lezi took a look at it, and when he got it, his round head changed to a square head: "This is-this-mother!this-this-this is a fixed post?!How-what-I have the names of Miss Lu and the Lu family?!You, you-don't dare to joke!This is not child's play! This is not good, this is not good-"

Mrs. Qiao slapped her son's head: "The words of the matchmaker are the orders of the parents! You can't use it for a bird! This family affair has been set for you! You have to follow it, and you have to follow it if you don't follow it! The Lu family invited those guests today, and you also saw it—they are all for the purpose of witnessing the exchange of posts between our two families today! Do you dare not to follow it? Okay! If you don't follow it, we won't sign this word, and let the Lu family miss be embarrassed!"

Qiao Lezi was completely stupid when he heard this--this was directly hung around his neck by his own old lady! If he didn't agree, the Lu family girl wouldn't be able to see people in the future-this is really-damn my God!

"Mother, how can this work! How old is Miss Lu's family, your son and I-" Qiao Lezi wanted to cry without tears.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's useless to talk about it! You just say whether you signed it or not?" his mother is now more like an official than him.

Qiao Lezi is really going to cry, this time it is really useless to say anything, he doesn't sign, Lu Rong has lost such a big face, and he can't get a foothold in the official circle, not to mention it, but what her stupid father wants to do to her, this is unimaginable, and if he signs it...... This, this, this...... That's still a child!

"Settle down first, and it will be the same when the Lu family girl and Lu do things again!" his mother threw over a sentence.

Qiao Lezi collapsed in the sky, the matter has come to this, what else can he do but agree? Covering his heart, he signed his name on the sticker, and as soon as he finished signing, he heard a burst of laughter turn out from behind the screen, and watched dumbfounded as the Duchess of Wei Guo and his wife almost high-fived to celebrate the success of the plan, and the fixed post was handed over to the Duchess of Weiguo, and without saying a word, he took it and walked out: "I'm going to Lu's house, have you prepared the gift?"

"Okay, okay, it's all loaded!" Old Lady Qiao happily sent the Duchess of Wei Guo out.

Qiao Lezi: ...... (⊙д⊙)…… tf……

Lu Jingwei is resting today, having breakfast in Aunt Xu's yard in the morning, and is touching her eight-month-old belly to listen to her son's voice inside, when he sees someone coming to report: "Lord XX and his wife are here." ”

Lu Jingwei felt puzzled, he had nothing to do with this person's daily life, how could he come here without saying hello? But he didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly changed his clothes and came out of the inner house, and walked out one by one, and saw people running forward one by one: "Lord XX is visiting with his wife!" "Lord XX is visiting!" ......

Lu Jingwei was a little shocked, why did so many people suddenly come to the door for no reason? What is the situation?!

Lu Jingwei strode to the front hall, and saw a large group of officials and their families who were familiar with each other on a daily basis greeted him with a fist salute: "Congratulations, Lord Lu! Congratulations!"

Lu Jingwei was even more shocked while subconsciously clenching his fists in return, and couldn't help asking, "Is this ...... Dare to ask where does Xi come from?"

"Hey, my lord, do you still want to hide this? We already know about it!" Lu Jingwei's subordinate in the Ministry of Rites spoke, still carrying a gift box in his hand.

"What the hell is this?!" Lu Jingwei was anxious.

"Tut-tut, isn't it a happy event to make your wife happy and find a good man?"

…… Lu Jingwei was a little enlightened, except for a few of his subordinates who congratulated him lukewarmly when announcing this marriage, no one came to say that it was because everyone was busy before, so they had to discuss and choose the day when he was at home to congratulate him collectively?

Haha, well, it's not too late to come to congratulate at this time! Lu Jingwei was immediately happy when he thought about it, and hurriedly changed his attitude, beckoned everyone to sit down, and rarely greeted everyone warmly, and was busy dealing with everyone's gossip and inquiry, when he saw Mrs. Lu's personal confidant girl coming over with a big red note, and she didn't know what to say, but she only heard one sentence: "Madame said that if you are too busy, you should sign it first, and she can act accordingly." ”

Lu Jingwei only felt impatient - he was rushing to make trouble when he was busiest! As soon as his face was cold, he took the note and pulled it twice, and the girl also looked at it carefully, confirming that it was his name before saluting and leaving, Lu Jingwei looked more and more unhappy, but he couldn't care about the attack for a while, and he was busy dealing with the guests who kept coming to the door to congratulate.

When these guests crowded the hall, I heard that the Duchess of Wei Guo had arrived, and she came to the hall to exchange posts with the woman at the behalf's behalf, Lu Jingwei couldn't help but be stunned, and then figured it out - Xiaolian and the Min family Lang were indeed too hasty, and there was a lot of gossip outside the church.

The Min family is really good at doing things, and Lu Jingwei is secretly happy in his heart. 166 Reading Network
