Du Xiaoxi took his son to Xile Temple, and came back and became a preparatory little monk.

Everyone in the Liu family didn't know if Master Xile really felt that his child had a wisdom root and could become a monk. They prefer to believe that Du Xiaoxi deliberately deceived people so that they would no longer snatch children with her.

No matter what the truth is, now Xiao Prosperity has always been raised by Du Xiaoxi's side.

Probably because he slept too much in his mother's womb, Xiao Prosperity, who was not noisy or noisy, was born a grinding goblin.

The little baby, with a big voice, and his four-year-old brother, have a fight, obviously can't climb, can't sit, wake up in the morning, and the tight quilt can be earned by him. Du Xiaoxi could already foresee how difficult it would be for him to serve when he was a little older.

Xiaoxing is very rare for his younger brother, and he has studied his younger brother all over while Du Xiaoxi is not paying attention. Originally, he liked to go out to play the most, but now he follows Du Xiaoxi every day and walks around his younger brother without leaving.

In the blink of an eye, in September, Liu Yao's term in Hongxing County arrived, and Uncle Liu successfully stayed in a small Hanlin in Kyoto City.

Regarding whether Liu Yao was a foreign officer or stayed in Beijing, there was still a debate at home when Du Xiaoxi didn't know.

Liu Yao wanted to take Du Xiaoxi to take office and learn about the situation in various places while he was young. Uncle Liu felt that his nephew had a soft temperament, and the state capital under him was intertwined, and it was hard to say whether his stupid nephew could come back all if he plunged in. What's more, if the two of them leave, the niece and daughter-in-law will not leave Xiao Prosperity to them at all, and the children will not be close to them when they are older.

Uncle Liu is the eldest patriarch, and Second Master Liu knows that his brother's thoughts are trying his best to echo it, and Liu Yao is directly left in the capital.

Liu Yao's level is not enough, and the Hanlin Courtyard is not allocated to the mansion, even if they have them, they still have to go home to live.

The Liu family has their own yard, and usually Liu Yao Muxiu has to bring his daughter-in-law and children back to live for a day, and he doesn't have to clean up Du Xiaoxi to live in directly.

Uncle Liu and the eldest aunt left Liu Yao in Beijing for the biggest purpose of cultivating a relationship with their grandson, so Du Xiaoxi had to welcome the eldest aunt to her territory every day to stay for half an hour, and Uncle Liu also called Liu Yao to take Xiao Prosperity to show him every other day.

Du Xiaoxi walked on the road of raising children, and he didn't expect that the situation in Beijing would rise again.

In the thirty-second year of Jiayuan, the emperor ordered a strict investigation of monks and nuns in Buddhist temples, and forbade Buddhist temples to keep monks and nuns who were unrestrained.

This event is known in history as the second destruction of the Buddha, and it opened the prelude to the third destruction of the Buddha.

The whole people of Dashang believe in Buddhism, Buddhist temples are everywhere, although the status of Buddhist temples has declined after Emperor Jiayuan ordered monks not to be officials a few years ago, but it is still the highest belief in the hearts of the people.

The economic basis of Buddhism's lofty status is the temple economy, and the basis of the temple economy is a large number of population and land, because of the special status and privileges of the Buddhist temple, the land and population under the name of the Buddhist temple do not have to pay household tax, grain tax, and do not have to serve in the military service, this preferential treatment makes more and more people put the land under the name of the surrounding temples, and further strengthen the temple economy.

The common people were under the name of the Buddhist temple, which reduced the household tax and grain tax of the big merchants, and the interval between military service and labor was too short, which made the people miserable.

Emperor Jiayuan targeted these fake monks and nuns this time, and by the way, enriched the treasury.

The court was confused, and the old ministers really couldn't understand why His Majesty couldn't look at the monks in the temple again.

However, looking at Emperor Jiayuan's more and more majestic face as he got older, none of the officials raised any objections.

Anyway, the monks won't give them money, find more fake monks, and they can also earn more when the tax is collected.

At this time, they could not imagine that half a year later, the granaries in various places would be overflowing and the treasury would have nowhere to store its money.

Emperor Jiayuan chose a very good time to strictly investigate fake monks and nuns, except for a few areas of waterlogging in the past two years, the vast majority of them are good weather and grain harvests. If it is proposed in a disaster year, the people who are waiting for the monks to give alms and live will definitely not echo it.

The year is good, and the people have surplus money in their hands to add some sesame oil to the Bodhisattva from time to time, instead of waiting for the temple to give alms as before.

Emperor Jiayuan proposed to strictly investigate fake monks and nuns, and the people also celebrated with their foreheads.

Why can the people who are named in the temple not go to participate in the military service, why do we pay 50% of the tax, but they are 40%, why do they look at us with a superior attitude!

Now I heard that the emperor strictly investigated fake monks and fake nuns, and the people secretly reported it one by one. There are more people in labor, and they go less often.

The people actively supported the emperor's will, did not gather to make trouble, did not raise public grievances, and resolved the problem in a smooth manner.

The decree of the fake monks and nuns has nothing to do with the Xile Temple, which has thousands of acres of fertile land rewarded by the emperor, but it is the tenants who are responsible for farming, and there is no such thing as a nominal monk.

In the blink of an eye, in October, Du Xiaoxi's backers arrived.

Father Du took his sons, one, two, three, five, six, seven, eight, and one of them, carrying a pig-killing knife, and entered Beijing menacingly.

100% eye-catching along the way!

Who has ever seen three pairs of twins in a family! It's still born from a father!

Daddy Du entered Beijing strongly, his face was tense, and he was stunned to deduce the murderous appearance of his face full of fat and meat.

Du Xiaoxi's elder brothers had been to Liufu, and the porter recognized this cruel old man as the father of his young lady, and he hurriedly reported the news.

When Du Xiaoxi heard that his father was coming, he hurriedly ran out with one by one.

When the old lady heard that her in-laws were coming, her face was full of sorrow, and she wanted to immediately tell everyone that she was sick and couldn't get out of bed.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Seeing that her mother-in-law was anxious and aggrieved, the eldest aunt asked curiously.

Uncle Liu and his wife only returned to Shanshui County when their nephew got married, and at that time, Father Du and Du Niang could only stay at home and watch their daughter get married, because the two parties did not see each other at that time. Later, Du Xiaoxi followed Liu Yao to Hongxing County, and her brothers and sisters-in-law came to her, and this was the first time Daddy Du came.

The old lady paused, "My in-laws have a good knife." ”

The eldest aunt is even more puzzled, what does this have to do with the in-laws, not to mention that the mother-in-law is an elder, and the father of the niece and daughter-in-law must respect the mother-in-law no matter what.

Daddy Du looked at his daughter and grandson who were rushing over, hurriedly threw the knife in his hand back, took the little star and turned around a few times.

Du Liu, who was behind Daddy Du, took the pig-killing knife thrown by his father towards his head, and rolled his eyes very unfilially

"Kid still remember grandpa!"

Daddy Du stopped, and threw it up again before stopping.

As soon as the squeaky little star touched the ground, he immediately ran behind Du Xiaoxi, pulled Du Xiaoxi's skirt as a cover, and secretly looked at Daddy Du.

"Hey! This little cowardice is like your father, and his memory is as bad as your grandmother, and he has forgotten about your grandfather in just a few months! ”

The maids who are waiting in the house wish they didn't have ears, this old man's mouth is really poisonous!

Father Du looked at Xiao Fanhua in his daughter's smiling face, and saw his eyes gurgling, and he grabbed both sides of the quilt with both hands and said happily: "This baby looks strong and has a good body, just like our family." ”

After seeing the two grandsons, Father Du said to the smiling daughter: "Why are you so thin, you can't get fat during confinement, is it because their old Liu family didn't give you a good meal." Otherwise, the girl will follow her father back to make a full moon for you, and she will be free and fat. ”

Du Xiaoxi gave Xiao Prosperity to Daddy Du, hugged himself and walked to the flower hall with his father's arm, and said coquettishly: "Dad, you are wrong, you have obviously gained a lot of weight, and you have a double chin when you bow your head." Why didn't my mother come? Are you feeling better? How are you at home? ”

Du Xiaoxi asked in a loud voice, and Father Du said very happily: "It was really good that you looked for that doctor last time, you took medicine and needles, and your mother was able to walk with a straight waist in less than a month. Your fifth brother's family has an extra daughter, and your mother didn't come with her when she did a full moon at home. Don't worry, everything is good at home, nothing happens. I'm sure I'll tell you something. ”

As he spoke, he entered the flower hall.

The old lady excused herself to be uncomfortable and let the eldest daughter-in-law come over to fight alone.

Father Du lifted the curtain and entered the door to find that it was a woman he didn't know, and turned his head to look at his daughter.

"Aunt Liu Yao." Waiting for his daughter to whisper to the person in front of him, Daddy Du's eyes widened, is this person who has passed on his grandson?

The eldest aunt Jing was very envious when she saw the string of sons followed by Father Du, especially the three pairs of twins, which was a great blessing.

Sure enough, people are more popular than death, the eldest aunt smiled in frustration, and said to everyone: "It's hard for my family to sit on the boat for more than a month, and I'm happy to take your father and brothers to rest." ”

Seeing that his father was about to get angry, Du Xiaoxi hurriedly pulled Daddy's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Dad, let's go." ”

Daddy Du thought that it was not good to be angry with a woman, so it was better to wait for the man of the Liu family to come back and settle the account together!

There were many people from the Du family, and the eldest aunt directly allocated a large courtyard for a group of people to live in.

When they got to the place, a group of people sat down around the table.

Daddy Du looked at his daughter and asked, "What's going on with this succession?" Who can't say a word to their in-laws? Why didn't their old Liu family sue me, my grandfather? Did they snatch the child and not let you see it? Are they abusing you? ”

Du Xiaoxi shook his head, "When I was pregnant with the child, my uncle said that I wanted to pass on, and I thought that at least I would not tell the family until the child was older." When I gave birth to a child for half a month, I went to the master and shaved Xiao Prosperity's head, scaring them that if we separated our mother and son again, I would let my master take him as a monk. I've been carrying the kids with me these days, and no one has talked about it anymore. ”

Father Du sighed in his heart that his daughter's master was still a little useful, and then sighed to himself: "I was really blind at the beginning, so I shouldn't have agreed with the old Liu family." What did the mother-in-law say was half of her body into the ground, and she was still stumbling. What mother-in-law doesn't care about, how can there be another one. And your father-in-law is not a good person, who is not a woman in charge of the accounts, and he has two sons and still doesn't let you be the master of the house. Liu Yao is also a bad seed, so he doesn't know how to protect you all the time. ”

Du Xiaoxi saw that Daddy Du was more and more sad and hurriedly said: "Dad, there is something to do with letting you come over, a few days ago I asked for the shop given by my father-in-law and uncle, and they gave several more to Xiaoprosper." Dad, can you let your brothers come over and help me take care of it! ”

Daddy Du knew about the shop, after all, it was the first time he heard that he would be rewarded for giving birth. But it's okay to help manage the shop.

"No, this can't work, your brother and they won't do anything but sell pork, and when they enter the shop, they won't make people laugh at you."

Du Xiaoxi immediately denied it, "Dad's words are wrong, who said that my brothers will only kill pigs and sell meat." Didn't my second brother open a shop for many years? My third brother walks around the village every day to collect pigs and bargain, isn't he doing business? My fourth brother's carpentry skills are so good, how much can we earn by selling goods to others all the time, it is better to open a store at home! There are also people who are good at accounting for my sixth brother, even if they don't sell goods, they can help me keep an eye on the accounts, and they fool me every day.

My brother is not bad at any of them, and he will definitely make a lot of money if he stays in Beijing. You're moving in! I can see you and my mother every day. ”

Before Daddy Du could say anything, Du Ba directly grinned happily and asked, "Sister, what's so good about me?" "It's such a blessing to be praised by my sister! It would be nice if the girl could say a few more words and be more detailed.

Du Xiaoxi looked Du Ba up and down when he heard this, and smacked and praised: "Starling, you are the best at killing pigs!" ”

Daddy Du took the lead and smiled.

Du Ba pursed his lips with a look of disgust, "Our family will kill pigs, what kind of craft is this!" ”

Du Xiaoxi smiled slyly: "Starling, can you learn?" When you've learned enough, kick out the shopkeeper in the shop, and you can take over him when the time comes. ”

Father Du looked at his daughter with a look of anticipation, and said if he couldn't refuse: "Let's talk about it." ”

Liufu is quite far away from the office of the Sixth Department, and the two of them will not come back for dinner at noon. Daddy Du originally wanted to take the opportunity to scold people, but he didn't come back at noon. How unreasonable!

Father Du, who turned his grief and anger into appetite, ate two more bowls of rice.

I can't beat you, I eat you!

In the evening, the two came slowly in the sunset.

When I entered the living room, I saw Daddy Du smiling and squinting his eyes into a slit. How did this big Buddha come about!

"The son-in-law is back?" Daddy Du greeted him very kindly.

Liu Yao hurriedly bowed, "It's great that you're here, father-in-law!" ”

Everyone in the Liu family knows about Du Xiaoxi's letter to find her mother's family, and of course they know why the Du family is here at this moment.

Uncle Liu smiled and beckoned Daddy Du to take a seat, and Daddy Du also responded with a smile.

Daddy Du looked at Xiao Prosperity in Du Xiaoxi's arms and said, "This little baby's tiger-headed eyes are gurgling, and at first glance he is a clever ghost." ”

Uncle Liu raised Xiao Prosperity as his own grandson, so he was naturally happy to be praised by others. If it weren't for Daddy Du's face, he would have pulled Daddy Du 360 degrees to show off.

Uncle Liu praised very modestly: "They all say that the nephew is like an uncle, and this child is indeed quite like your child." ”

The food was quickly served on the table, and Uncle Liu and Liu Yao beckoned everyone to eat while it was hot, and there was something to talk about later.
