16 Lanruo Temple
A pie fell from the sky, and it slammed into the head of this guy who was determined to be a gentleman.
When he first became a bowler, he was restless day and night. Unlike Jia Zheng, Shi Nai, the second oldest member of the Shi family, is a very self-aware person. He did not think that he could replace his brother - of course, it was also true that his brother was much better than Japar - and even when he first received the title of ancestor, his whole being was uneasy.
At that time, his younger brother, later Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding, was at the border again, and he didn't even have anyone to consult. It was precisely because of those difficult times that he developed the habit of discussing everything with his wife.
The wife said, don't get too close to the Wang family and the Jia family, Shi Nai kept a certain distance from the Jia family and the Wang family. It is the norm for people to be courteous, even if he is not attending, he also appears at the point in time, and he should leave when he is ready.
To put it mildly, if it weren't for Mrs. Baolinghou seeing Jia Yu having a relationship with the Zhang family this time, and Jia Jiu was standing faintly behind the door, I was afraid that he would not come to Jia's house with her husband.
Baoling Hou patted Jia Jiu's shoulder again and again, and laughed: "I see, that's how it is." So what do you think of this monk and Taoist? There are many strange people in this world. β
Jia Jiu said: "I was just suspicious before, I was afraid that Sister Bao would be deceived." Later, after getting the appreciation of the Daomen and the guidance of the senior brothers, I learned that the Daomen has a lot of rules, and I will not come to the door to say anything about crossing people. Those who will come to the door to do these things are nothing more than some charlatans, who have read a few medical books and fool people with things that eat the undead. Or that they poison it first, and then give you the antidote, so as to defraud a large amount of money. This kind of thing has been repeatedly banned, and the Daomen is also very troubled by these fake Taoist priests. I've heard that Buddhism has something similar. β
Jia Mu listened. With a move in his heart, he remembered an old incident, and immediately asked: "Won't the Taoist Gate and the Buddhist Gate come to cross people?" So they won't turn children into monks? β
Jia Jiu smiled: "Where did the old lady hear such words? Whether it is a Taoist or a Buddhist sect, a serious Taoist would not do such a thing. Most of those who would do such things were human traffickers, but they were not serious people. β
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately came to her senses. "Traffickers? β
Jia Jiu said: "That's right. Generally speaking, the physical condition of a child is related to the age of the parents. It's like the old lady often talks about it, saying that Baoyu's body is not as good as Brother Zhu's back then. Of course. When the aunt gave birth to the eldest brother of Zhu, the second uncle and aunt were still young, with sufficient qi and blood, and both the essence and yin yuan were relatively abundant. can wait until the second aunt is pregnant with Baoyu. The second uncle and aunt are both in their forties. changed to someone else's family, and at such an age, there are many children and grandchildren, even the grandchildren will start to look at each other. At such an age, both men and women have qi and blood failure, especially women, most of them have reached the day of menopause, even if they sit on the fetus, they will be aborted if they are not careful. In fact, Baoyu's situation is already very good. β
Jia Mu said: "Baoyu's situation is good? What about the bad situation? β
Jia Jiu said: "I heard Senior Brother Mo say it. One of the parents was over thirty-six, especially a mother. Children conceived after the age of 36 are prone to heart palpitations. According to the last number of people in the Taoist Gate who practiced medicine to save people, almost half of the babies in the world were born with such a problem when they first landed, especially when the parents were over 36 years old, and the proportion reached almost 80%. Babies with heart palpitations have a very high mortality rate, and they cry and can't stand fright when they are young. Even when they reach the age of five or six, a considerable number of them will have asthma-like symptoms, and even faint if they are slightly frightened. However, most babies with heart palpitations will recover naturally before the age of 10 without taking any strange medications. β¦β¦β
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately felt that everything was right, and immediately chased after Jia Jiu and asked, "Are there any people who have not recovered when they are ten years old?" β
Jia Jiu said: "Then you have to eat Baoxin Pill." This medicine is also easy to obtain, and there are people in the Daomen who specialize in practicing this medicine. However, if it is the first child, it will basically be healed at the age of 10, so there is no need to worry about it at all. Just go with the flow. β
When Jia Mu heard this, her heart was settled.
Shi Xiangyun said: "Second sister, you haven't said anything about the kidnapper." β
Jia Jiu said: "In fact, it is also the parents' love for their children that has caused disasters for their children. Especially in the rich family, seeing the child being troubled by heart palpitations, while extending the medical treatment for the child, he will also pray to God and worship the Buddha, hoping that the gods and Buddhas can send their children to grow up safely. But they didn't know that when they took their children out to worship the Buddha, they had already fallen into the eyes of people with hearts. I don't know if Sister Yun has heard the story of Lanruo Temple. β
"Lanruo Temple?"
Jia Jiu said: "Lanruo Temple is also called Praruo Temple, in fact, many Buddhist temples are called this name, Lanruo, is the provincial name of "Alan Ruo", in Sanskrit originally refers to the forest, and by extension, it is a place where there is no distress and trouble. In fact, there are many Buddhist temples in the world that are called this name. Many outsiders, including those officials who bring their families to work, will feel that this is a thousand-year-old temple when they hear the word Lan Ruo, so they do not restrict their wives and children to incense to the Buddha, but they do not know that entering the incense will also bring disaster to their families. β
Shi Xiangyun said: "Sister Bao, in the past, everyone said that you were erudite and talented, have you ever heard of the story of Lanruo Temple?" β
Xue Baochai glanced at Shi Xiangyun, then at the elders present, and said, "I am somewhat familiar with this Lanruo Temple that the second sister said, but I don't remember where I heard about it. The news that the second sister got from Buddhism is more detailed than what she heard outside. Let's listen to the second sister. β
Shi Xiangyun snorted and said, "Second sister, tell me quickly, what's wrong with this Lanruo Temple?" β
Jia Jiu sighed and said: "It is said that in the early days of the founding of the previous dynasty, there was once such a Lanruo Temple, which sheltered many people during the war, so it had a high prestige in the local area, and many people traveled thousands of miles to worship the Buddha. During the Taizu period of the previous dynasty, there was an official who took office with his family, and he heard that this place was to the Buddha. So he came to the door with a pair of children. But who would have thought that not long after, their daughter fell ill. I invited a lot of doctors, but I didn't look good. Later, the family asked the local monks of Lanruo Monastery for advice. The monk said that unless he gave his daughter to their monastery, the child would never be well for the rest of his life. β
"Huh? So this young lady was sent to this Buddhist temple like this? β
Jia Jiu nodded and said, "This young lady was promised when she was very young, and now she suddenly said that she was sick, and his fiancΓ© is also affectionate and righteous." first waited for him for three years, but after three years, he saw his father-in-law's family return to Beijing to report on work but did not see his fiancΓ©e, and he felt strange. I couldn't ask for an ugly person, so I rushed all the way to Nalan Ruo Temple to visit my fiancΓ©e. β
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but say, "Then did they see it?" β
Jia Jiu said: "I don't know how. However, according to the records of the Daomen and the relevant documents handed down from the previous dynasty, it is said that at that time, there were a considerable number of meditation rooms, pagodas, and courtyards in this Lanruo Temple, which were actually built by people. Flesh and blood are mud, and bones are bricks. The young lady in the story. As soon as I entered the Zen temple. was secretly resold to the prostitute brothel that stepped out, and it disappeared in less than three years. Those people were afraid that others would find clues from his bones, so they divided the young lady's body, and used the flesh and bones of him and the girls who had similar encounters to him, and built the majestic Lanruo Temple......"
Jia Baoyu immediately felt uncomfortable at the thought of a living person being filled into the wall.
Jia Mu was also uncomfortable, and said repeatedly: "Enough, second girl." How can you be intimidating? That senior brother of yours is really, how can I tell you this? β
Jia Mu was very uncomfortable. Shi Xiangyun also patted his chest again and again, and said, "Second sister, there is no such thing now, right?" β
Jia Jiu said: "How do I know this? It's just that as soon as the incident of Lanruo Temple came out, the prestige of Buddhism plummeted, and since then it has been in a slump in my Daqi. The Taoist Gate also takes this as a warning. As I said just now, the Daomen will not come to the door to ferry people because of this. In fact, it does not mean that they will never go to the door and take children away from their parents' families, but the conditions for this to do so are very harsh. β
"Very harsh conditions?" Jia Mu was stunned, "Why?" β
"According to the regulations of the Daomen, if you want to go to the door, you must not only bring the Dadumu, the lotus and the exclusive tokens inside the Daomen, but also be accompanied by the relevant officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple."
Shi Xiangyun shook his head and said, "I know the degree, but what is this generosity?" What is a lotus? β
Jia Jiu said: "The degree is for a certain monk and a certain Taoist priest, but the magnanimity is used to build a temple. As for the lotus, it is specially used by the Daomen to cross people. It's just that this kind of lotus has probably been less than 20 since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty. β
"So little?"
Jia Jiu said: "That's right. Unless the child's talent is so outstanding that all the masters in the upper echelons of the Daomen, including the national teacher, are tempted, unless the child's family is really reluctant to give up the child, there will be no lotus in the world. Moreover, once the lotus is alive, the Daomen will send two Taoists who are at least one level with the national teacher, and then greet the Household Department and the Honglu Temple, and go to the child's house accompanied by the relevant officials to ask for the consent of the other party's family. Because this is likely to involve future property, ancestral business, titles, and so on, it is not possible to be accompanied by relevant officials. This is also to prevent the occurrence of things like Lanruo Temple that harm people's lives, take away people's property, and destroy people's reputation. β
Jia Mu said: "Then there can't be any monk with dysentery?" β
Jia Jiu said: "If it is a leprosy head, it must be a human trafficker." It's a very simple trick. Generally speaking, dysentery, crutches and feet are very obvious external characteristics. If such a person stands in front of us, we will pay attention to their defects for a long time, especially the dysentery, which not only looks disgusting, but if there is pus, the stench is enough to make people disgusting. In such a situation, it is impossible for ordinary people to notice their other characteristics. In other words, if even if they are bitter masters, they will not accurately describe their appearance after being deceived by him. Even if you pass by the crook on the street, it is difficult to recognize the other person in the first place. β
Shi Xiangyun said: "But why? Why do they come to the door in disguise, isn't that a big risk? β
Jia Jiu said: "This is normal. If a family has several generations of single transmission, then as long as the other party has only flesh and blood, it is equivalent to holding the other party's family business and ancestral property. In the future, if there is an accident for the adults of this family, according to the law of the country. The son-in-law inherits all the property, the concubine and the maid can get seventy percent of the family property, and with the children in their hands, they can easily get ten thousand pieces of furniture. Why don't they take the risk? β
Shi Xiangyun immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "It turns out that Sister Bao was calculated." Fortunately, Sister Bao also has a brother. Otherwise, I'm afraid that a catastrophe will come. I saw that they first set their eyes on Sister Bao, thinking that Sister Bao was the only one in the family, but then they probably saw that Sister Bao had an older brother, so they changed their minds and said that there was medicine, and then gave such a cold incense pill. I said Sister Bao. You still don't want to eat that cold incense pill, who knows if this thing is the bane? β
Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, and then blushed.
Jia Jiu had already told him very clearly the cause and process of the incident. The monk with the leprosy head was originally eyeing their family. It was only later that he found out that he had an older brother, and it was time to make up his mind.
Although Jia Jiu did not say it explicitly, believing in this kind of liar showed that he and his family were inherently shallow - they had never even heard of such a famous case as Lanruo Temple in the former dynasty - and they were not smart enough.
Xue Baochai said with a strong smile: "Second sister, you shouldn't be mistaken, right?" Our Xue family has a big business. There are several children in the family, which is known to the whole Jinling City. How could those scammers do it without finding out. β
Jia Jiu looked at him deeply. "What I just said is just one of the possibilities, of course, there is another layer of possibility. Just like the Wang girl back then, many people have noticed the wonderful use of the beauty scheme. Just like in the story of Lanruo Temple, the reason why Lanruo Temple has stood for thousands of years without falling, and has committed so many lives but is still flourishing, is naturally because someone covers him. And the method of Lanruo Temple is very simple, that is, women and gold and silver treasures. They collect qualified little girls and train them from an early age. Then send these girls into the inner houses of the powerful and provide them with an umbrella. But where is this little girl with excellent qualifications in the world so easy to find? Sister Bao. Do you believe that the children raised by those peasant women and village girls will be the kind of stunning women who have captivated the country and made countless men work for them? β
"You mean ......"
"As the saying goes, three years old is big, seven years old is old, and those who have experience only need to see it at a glance to know what a three-year-old girl will become when she grows up. In addition, there is a saying that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes. The upbringing of children can also be seen from the bearing and conduct of the parents. Aunt Xue was originally a young lady from an official eunuch's family, and when she saw Aunt Xue, she naturally knew what Sister Bao would be like in the future. You say, if they can cultivate a second Wang girl, what would they not dare? β
Shi Xiangyun said: "That is to say, Sister Bao, who was targeted by those villains, hoped to raise Sister Bao to be the second Wang girl, but after coming to observe, I found that Sister Bao would grow into a big pie face in the future, so I temporarily changed my mind and changed the original plan to kidnap Sister Bao to send medicine and medicine to send a golden lock?" Also, it's just a piece of gold, and it's not like you can fight as much as you want? If you can become the concubine's mother's family, this deal is naturally cost-effective. Sister Bao, you should be glad that you are so fat! β
Shi Xiangyun is really a god.
What's even more ruthless is that Jia Baoyu actually said with a happy face: "It's okay, it's okay, it's good that Sister Bao is so fat, otherwise I wouldn't have seen Sister Bao." β
Xue Baochai thinks that he is also the number one in the fat powder pile, but this posture has always been a piece of his heart. That's right, many families like their new daughter-in-law to be in good health, so that they can give birth to healthy children. But being healthy and being fat are two different things. Xue Baochai's body shape, the first feeling is not healthy and strong, but fat. It's like his face. Like Jia Jiu, he is a mellow beauty, but Jia Jiu's face is goose egg-shaped, and Xue Baochai's face is a cake! It gives people the feeling that Xue Baochai is very fat.
Obesity is also a disease. It is easy to get dizziness, headaches, and heart palpitations, all of which are easy to pass on to offspring, which is worse than being thin.
Embarcidness may be due to poor digestion, it may be due to excessive psychological pressure caused by the environment, and finally it is not good to eat and sleep well, which makes people appear thin.
But what about fat?
The Tang Dynasty is a dynasty that regards fat as beauty, but history tells us that quite a few of the fat beauties have heart problems, and many of the children born are with diseases in the womb. Seeing Xue Baochai will remind people of Yang Guifei, and then think of the heart disease that plagued the entire Chu Tang Dynasty. Who would marry their children a daughter-in-law who may have a genetic disease?
The cold incense pill is clearly stated, this is used to treat a "hot poison" brought by Xue Baochai's womb. If it is possible that this problem is inherited, it is simply gambling with your own offspring!
Therefore, Xue Baochai is not a smart person. Others can't wait to hide it, and he has to show it off. Fortunately, the people here now are all from the four families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue. If outsiders know, then Xue Baochai will not have to marry in this life.
Of course, Shi Xiangyun is not a tight-mouthed person. Whether he will talk nonsense everywhere, or take it to the hairpin meeting as news, others will not know.
No one noticed that Jia Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Jia Jiu's explanation. (To be continued......)
