Master Xile was not short of silver, and after giving Du Xiaoxi a big red envelope, he routinely asked Du Xiaoxi for advanced scientific and cultural knowledge.

"Do you know how steel is made?"

Du Xiaoxi tilted his head, thought about it with his shrunken brain cells, and nodded affirmatively: "I know this, it seems to be a novel written by a Russian or a foreigner?" ”

Master Xile glanced at the little apprentice with a smug face, and was depressed, "It's not how steel is made, how is steel and iron smelted?" Is it true that iron is turned into steel after being smelted a hundred times? How is iron purified? The current technology is too backward and too wasteful! "If it's not that the monk doesn't have to learn this, what's the use of being a teacher?

Du Xiaoxi was full of question marks and muttered, "Master, I'm a child." Feeling inaccurate, Du Xiaoxi added: "Stupid kid studying liberal arts." ”

"It seems that Lao Wei can only be a monk with soil buns for food." Master Xile looked helpless and drove Du Xiaoxi away, "Find your senior brother Ningning!" ”

Du Xiaoxi held the red apples sent by the pilgrims with two fat paws, and moved out of the master's room with two little short legs.

Master Xile looked at the thick back of the little apprentice, and secretly cheered himself up in his heart, "Old man, I am reborn left and right, plus reading memory bugs, how can I become the first monk of the Great Shang Dynasty!" ”

The reason why Master Xile is divine is not only because the Dharma is profound, but also because people have golden fingers. The past has been seen in front of others! There is not a single fig leaf!

Although this golden finger is a bit crippled, I only saw that the reborn apprentice was a tyrant who killed and killed in his previous life, and the apprentice who crossed over was a doctor who ate and ate in his previous life, and after that, no matter how he looked up or down, he couldn't see anything left and right.

Du Xiaoxi didn't know the master's ambition, and happily pushed open the door next door.

"Senior Brother Tranquility, are you there?"

Tranquility, tranquility every time I think of a song from my previous life, 'Quiet summer, the sky is full of stars, I miss a little in my heart, I miss your face, but I can't see it" I don't know how the master gave the senior brother the Buddha name? Fortunately, it was a female baby, and the master saved it directly.

The delicate boy leaned on the cushion of the Luohan bed, and he didn't know whether he had read the book he was holding in his hand, and on the small stool next to the bed, Qian De was sadly sewing clothes with embroidery needles, and when he saw someone coming in, he hurriedly hid the clothes back, and greeted him directly, "Ten Niangzi, are you here?" ”

Du Xiaoxi nodded at Qian De, rubbed to the side of the bed, and smiled sweetly, "Senior Brother Ningning, do you want to eat apples?" ”

Tranquility glanced at Du Xiaoxi, and her gaze fell back on the book again.

"Don't?"

Du Xiaoxi muttered to himself for a while, Tranquility didn't say a word, feeling that the master's task was almost completed, Du Xiaoxi threw the apple and went to his fourth brother.

I don't know what my master means, why I always let myself find a little kid who doesn't like to talk about ideals and relationships.

Du Xiaoxi went out with his front foot, and Ning Jing grabbed the apple next to him and ate it. Chande listened to the crisp sound of gnashing his teeth, staring earnestly at the tear in the clothes in his hand. Well, it should be sewn like this.

After Du Xiaoxi slipped into the master's house and smuggled out an apple to his own brother, he slept in the room prepared for the two siblings. After sitting in the back basket for a day, it was also very tiring.

For three consecutive days, under the bombardment of various strange questions from the master and the cold violence of the little brother, Du Xiaoxi was finally able to go home.

It's so hard to live as a child.

……

In a blink of an eye, the most lively Lantern Festival in the first month, under the pleading of several sons, Father Du's family rushed to their home in the county seat after eating lunch.

It is said that in order to celebrate the opening of the waterway in the mountains, the wealthy households of the county jointly held a grand lantern festival. A few little brothers got the news from their friends early on, and there were a lot of fireworks this time, and they were screaming to see the fireworks, but Daddy Du couldn't help it, and his sons could only agree.

It was just dark, and everyone in the Du family simply ate something and cleaned it up. Daddy Du took Brother Du to thank the neighbors who helped watch the door, and then took Brother Du's third brother and a few little brothers and nephews to the canal to watch the fireworks.

A few days ago, Du Xiaoxi was fortunate to see fireworks at the landlord's house in the next village, just one color, one pattern, Du Xiaoxi, who had seen various modern colors and various shapes of fireworks, decisively decided that she was going to go to the antique lantern festival with Du Niang, and by the way, she watched the fireworks from afar.

As the last day of the new year, the Lantern Festival is highly valued everywhere.

When Du Xiaoxi and Du Niang's second brother and sister-in-law went out, the widest street at the entrance of Shanshui County was already occupied by all kinds of stalls.

Du Xiaoxi was hugged by the tall second brother, holding the puppy glass lantern sent by the Liu family, and the five of them were almost dazzled by all kinds of lanterns along the way.

Shanshui County, a small county town that has not developed for decades, cannot expect nine out of nine illiterate people to play lantern riddles, so the essence of the Shanshui County Lantern Festival is a large-scale promotion meeting.

Spend a certain amount of silver in a stall, you can get a paper lantern, or don't choose a lottery, if you win, you will be exempted from a certain amount of silver, in short, there are all kinds of ways.

The five of them walked through the bustling crowd and rushed to the 'clothes and quilts' that were about to be besieged by the women, and saw a middle-aged monk who looked like a shopkeeper talking about the rules of this promotion.

That's right, the shopkeeper is the monk.

A monk of the Shang School.

The monks of the Great Shang Dynasty were not the bald monks of Amitabha Buddha as Du Xiaoxi thought, they had a special status in the Great Shang Dynasty and were involved in all walks of life in the Great Shang Dynasty. However, because he had no children, no daughters, no worries, and was valued by those in power, and because of various measures to protect the interests of the people, he was supported by the people and became a great force independent of the imperial power.

The monks of the Shang school rarely chanted Buddha, and from a young age their minds were the sound of crackling abacus beads, and the incense oil money donated by the pilgrims to the temples would be transported to all parts of the Shang Dynasty by the monks of the Shang school, and the things they sold in their shops were of good quality and low price. What is even more remarkable is that if a disaster occurs in one place, shops in other regions will send large quantities of rice grain to help. In the hearts of the common people, the monks of the Shang school are not black-hearted people who compete with the people for profit, but living bodhisattvas who purify all sentient beings.

"Don't crowd donors, our store has enough goods today, and it can definitely supply everyone's needs. Lantern Festival, blessings for the people. Today, all the raw materials of the quilt purchased in this store are all 20% off, and each donor can draw a prize with two taels of silver. The lottery must be won, and the worst is also the lantern. Please buy as much as you like. ”

After the middle-aged monk retreated, Du Xiaoxi was carried by the second brother and entered the store with the crowd.

Du Niang was guarded by two daughters-in-law left and right, followed by her son in front of a pile of gray coarse cloth with five-fold processing, selected a few good materials and hurriedly transferred to other battlefields, and in a blink of an eye, the fabrics that the family needed for half a year were ready.

Five pieces of cloth, a large bag of cotton, the five of them squeezed out the 'clothes of the world' with great success, and walked to the door panting to pay the bill.

The abacus beads rang, and the little monk who settled the account smiled at the five people, "Donor, a total of thirteen taels and fifty-six texts, and you can give thirteen taels of silver for today's festival." You can also draw six prizes, and you can save money by drawing a note with a number written on it! ”

Du Niang looked at the lottery box and said to her son: "Brother Yi'er, you come." ”

Du Zhiyi leaned forward Du Xiaoxi in his arms, "Let's come on, sister, she is blessed." ”

Du Xiaoxi rubbed shoulders, the girl likes the lottery with a 100% winning rate the most!

A cigarette yarn lantern, a pound of cotton, 395 Wen, and a foot of pink cotton

Each of the six notes is either money or something that is affordable, Du Xiaoxi sincerely sighed that he really deserves to be a living Bodhisattva of the business school for the benefit of the people.

The two notes worth the silver add up to nearly half a tael of silver, plus cloth and cotton, Du Niang couldn't close her mouth happily.

Waiting for the five people to return with a full load, the little monk who settled the accounts hurriedly asked the shopkeeper for help, master! The rivers and lakes are in an emergency, and most of the heads have been sucked away!
