Chapter 153: Good face and good temperament

Soon it will enter the wax moon.

After Du Xiaoxi replied to Liu Yao's long letter with her dog crawling words, she prepared to go back to the temple to celebrate Master's birthday.

As for the birthday gift, it is still the old four sets, socks and monk shoes, plus monk robes and hats.

Du Niang has a pair of embroidery skills, a few years ago began to teach Du Xiaoxi to be a female red, Du Xiaoxi, who poked his hands into a sieve, still failed to inherit this great quintessence. However, although he can't embroider and embroider grass, the most basic clothes and shoes, Du Xiaoxi can already do a decent job, and he has to honor the elders and masters in the family every year.

Du Xiaoxi's personality and habits are deeply influenced by his previous life, Du Ma and Du Dad, people of their time, both men and women, are simply omnipotent. When I was a child, when the conditions at home were not good, the children's clothes and shoes were bought on the street, and they were made at home. Of course, as the youngest, Du Xiaoxi picks up most of the time, and his brothers and sisters wear the rest.

But Du's mother made clothes and shoes by herself still left a heavy mark in Du Xiaoxi's heart, and even Du Xiaoxi subconsciously thought that girls should be able to make clothes. It has nothing to do with the status of the husband and wife, just thinking about the husband and children wearing clothes made by themselves will make you feel very happy.

Du Xiaoxi's previous life was okay with simple sewing and mending, and in this life Du Niang also worked hard to learn when he taught, although he couldn't do Du Niang's fine stitches, but he couldn't make a mistake in general

A few days before Master Xile's birthday, Du Xiaoxi was sent back to the mountain by his two elder brothers.

"You're really looking for trouble!"

As soon as Du Xiaoxi entered the main hall, he accepted Master Xile's blowing beard and glared.

"Huh?" What's wrong?

Looking at Du Xiaoxi, who didn't know why, Master Xile beat his chest for a while, he couldn't live because he was a fool, and it was he who was the one who suffered after accepting a stupid apprentice.

"Those glasses are so tall! The apprentice is really better than the blue! You hang like this, why don't you say a word to Master! ”

so?

Master Joy was still stunned when he saw his apprentice. helplessly complained of grievances, "A few days ago, because of your little glasses, a large wave of zombies, ah no, a large wave of old ladies attacked!" This is a so-and-so concubine, this is a so-and-so princess, and that is the county lord. There is also Mrs. Yipin. Mrs. 2, Mrs. 3. Although the master is a monk, the six roots are pure but red dust. But being surrounded by a group of old ladies is still too easy to misunderstand.

Good apprentice! Do you have any wonderful ideas in the future, can you remind Master first? Master went to close up in advance to avoid the limelight. ”

Du Xiaoxi understood, it turned out that she had caused a large wave of apprenticeships.

"Master, it's all Xiaoxi's fault, Xiaoxi will definitely report to Master in the future. Save the Master from the old lady. ”

Du Xiaoxi admitted his mistake with a hippie smile, but was kicked out of the door by the master.

Since Emperor Jiayuan decided to abolish monks as officials. The status of monks has plummeted, but it has indeed declined in recent years.

However, these monks do not include the Master of Joy, who has the ability to scan other people's memories and mental activities to be in Kyoto now, if not the master of the Nine Emperors. The whole of Kyoto can bow down under his robe.

Master Xile made a birthday, and those who had friendships and those who did not have friendships came together to congratulate, and Du Xiaoxi sorted out the congratulatory gifts every day after he came back. When you see what you like, you can keep it as a labor fee and put it in your pocket.

Master has already said it. They are not wantonly accepting gifts and defiling the Buddha's door, but they are just robbing the rich and helping the poor, exchanging money to save more people.

Soon the thirteenth day of the lunar month arrived.

Master Xile has already widely announced that no outsiders will be invited for this birthday, and the people who have come here are only Senior Brother and Qian De. Prince An has been sick for the past few days, and the county lord of Minglan just gave a birthday gift and couldn't come in person.

There are more than 30 monks in Xile Temple, plus a few people brought by Du Xiaoxi and Shang Qing to set up six large tables.

A group of people paid birthday greetings to the joyful master one by one, and then the lively tea and eating did not stop until mid-afternoon.

After Shang Qing took people away, Du Liu and Du Ba helped clean up the table, and Du Xiaoxi also went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes.

A seven or eight-year-old little monk hurriedly ran over, panting and said, "Amitabha, Senior Sister Du, Master is looking for you, hurry up and come with me!" ”

Du Xiaoxi wiped his hands suspiciously and quickly followed.

"Put on the clothes you just wore just now, and a distinguished guest is coming." Master Xile saw that Du Xiaoxi had changed into a big cotton jacket again, and hurriedly urged to change his clothes.

Guest? Who is it?

Du Xiaoxi looked at Master Xile with a look of curiosity, wondering how Master knew that there would be distinguished guests, could Master really be able to take advantage of it?

Master Xile seemed to know what Du Xiaoxi was thinking again, and raised his chin to signal Du Xiaoxi to hurry up.

He would not tell his apprentice that a monk in the temple was a spy of Emperor Jiayuan. As for the fact that he has the skills to read other people's memories and minds, it cannot be said.

If the apprentice who doesn't have a golden finger knows that the master's crossing welfare is so good, he will cry!

The clothes worn at the banquet just now were specially made by Mu He for Du Xiaoxi, which was good-looking, but the layers of cumbersomeness did not keep warm on the mountain. Du Xiaoxi wanted to work, so he changed back to the big padded jacket he wore on weekdays, which was round and very warm.

Du Xiaoxi had just changed back into his clothes and stood beside his master when he saw several figures on the mountain road slowly coming.

There were five people in all, all wearing hats, and the long black veil hung down to their knees, and it was impossible to see whether they were men or women, old or young.

As soon as the five of them climbed the mountain gate, they saw a thin layer of snow falling on their bodies, and it was obvious that they were waiting for the Master of Joy for some time. The leader paused and walked over directly.

"Amitabha, the distinguished guest is coming, and he is not welcomed."

Master Xile recited a Buddha, and when he saw Du Xiaoxi also saluting with his hands folded, he said: "Happy girl, make a big salute!" ”

Great salute!

Can you refuse if it's cold?

Du Xiaoxi respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted, and stood up when he saw the person opposite raise his hand.

I followed Master into Master Xile's exclusive small Buddha hall, and only two of the five people entered, leaving the remaining three standing outside.

The man at the head took off his hat and handed it to the person behind him, and he saw a middle-aged man with excellent maintenance standing with a light smile.

"Master Xile is really profound in Buddhism, I heard that the master is celebrating his birthday today, and I hope the master will not be surprised when I come to visit." Emperor Jiayuan swept over the usual face of the joyful master and Du Xiaoxi, who was nesting by the stove to make tea, and said loudly.

"A blessing for a poor monk."

Du Xiaoxi looked up at the legendary emperor, lowered his head and continued to make tea.

The surface is calm, but the heart is already squeaking excitedly, Emperor! The biggest official I saw in my last life was my brother-in-law's general grandfather, but I didn't expect to see an emperor today! Alive!

Du Xiaoxi boiled water to wash the cup, and the other person also took off his hat and walked to Du Xiaoxi and stood beside him, Du Xiaoxi guessed that it was the emperor's personal eunuch or something, and he came to see her, afraid that she would do something bad, and hurriedly raised his head and smiled at people.

You see that we are so pure, we will definitely not be poisoned!

Du Xiaoxi, who was laughing stupidly, looked up and looked at the person standing.

With handsome eyebrows and a gentle temperament, the eunuchs of the big merchants already have a good face, do they have the temperament to this extent? Ay! Waste is a great crime!

Du Xiaoxi carefully brewed the tea under the supervision of the handsome eunuch, brought it to the small table in front of the master and the emperor, and then retreated to stand behind the master.

The two raised their glasses together and took a sip of tea, and Emperor Jiayuan looked at Du Xiaoxi, who was standing with his hands down, "This is the master's second apprentice?" ”

Master Joy put down the teacup and nodded, "Little girl in the mountains, it's interesting to be tight." ”

Du Xiao was happy and angry, they called me a mountain bun, and the village aunt endured it, and the master even teased people!

Seeing that Du Xiaoxi dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and his hanging head moved, Emperor Jiayuan smiled: "It's really interesting, I heard that this girl is the one who made glasses?" Two days ago, I made a wheelchair for Ming Lan that could slide on her own, which made their sister and brother happy. It's a good girl, but this tea is too hard to drink! ”

Du Xiaoxi, who happily accepted the praise of the country's top leader, smiled and froze.

It's poisonous!

How could the emperor be so uncaring for his juniors!

"Okay, let's play with this, I have something to say to your master." Emperor Jiayuan put a piece of jade on his waist on the small table, and Master Xile directly took it and stuffed it into Du Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Go quickly, find your senior brother Huaiming to practice the craft of making tea." ”

Holding the emperor's reward of Yu Jue Du Xiaoxi ran out of the house, as for learning to make tea, wait until I show off to my brother.

When did the emperor leave Du Xiaoxi didn't know, after a few days on the mountain, Du Xiaoxi began to prepare for the upcoming New Year with his senior brother in the kitchen.

This year, she will spend it in the capital.

The smell of the New Year on the mountain is not strong, and the temple is busy after eating a few rare meals.

At the beginning of the Lunar New Year, people continue to come to offer incense and pray for the safety of their families and all the best in the new year. The people who poured incense lined up a few miles down the mountain from the mountain road. couldn't be busy, Du Xiaoxi and his two elder brothers were arrested and helped manage the incense candles.

has been busy for half a month, and the number of people who pray for blessings after the Shangyuan Festival has gradually decreased. Du Xiaoxi, who threw it after using it, was kicked down the mountain again.

Sitting in the carriage sent by the prince's mansion, Du Xiaoxi hugged the burden and wanted to cry without tears. She originally thought that she would be able to go home after the Chinese New Year, but the master actually said that her mission was not completed and it was not time to go back.

Yes! Stumble!

It's almost February now, and my little fiancΓ© will take the house exam in March, and he won't be able to accompany the exam if it's too late!

……

In view of the fact that Emperor Jiayuan abolished the monk official system and repeatedly damaged the interests of Buddhist temples, the great merchants united with the high-ranking monks of Yunguo, Beichang and other countries to gather in Kyoto to hold a 10,000-person condemnation meeting against Emperor Jiayuan. - Du Xiaoxi stole thought.

When Du Xiaoxi entered Beijing, he heard that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dharma Conference was going to be held, and after going down the mountain this time, he found that there were obviously more monks in Kyoto City.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival will be held in March, and Du Xiaoxi is a pity that she will probably not be able to see it when she goes home.

However, Du Xiaoxi didn't have time to be sad, the power of the wilderness in her body was exhausted, and she was crazy to buy, buy, buy!

Along with the monks from all over the world, there were also merchants, especially the monks of the Shang faction, who had a lot of goods and complete goods, and took advantage of such a rare opportunity Du Xiaoxi got all the gifts of everyone in the family.

What a great multi-country shopping festival!
