Chapter 104: Midyear Festival
In the end, the clever Xiao Yao coaxed and deceived, coupled with the sincere persuasion of the well-behaved and lovely Song Keer, finally made Xu Miao and Xiao Wuhua, the two jealous little beauties, smile again.
"Let's see if you dare to think nonsense!" Xiao Yao slapped the buttocks of the two beauties twice: "I can only see the advantages of others, but I can't see that I am also a very good person!" ”
"Sister Ke'er, I'm sorry, I shouldn't eat your vinegar, in fact, I'm very happy for you to see you do so well in Beauty Place!" Xiao Wuhua said apologetically.
"That's right, Sister Kerr, please forgive us, we only saw what Shiro did for you, but we forgot that he also did a lot for us, we shouldn't be jealous of you! In order to show my sincerity, I told my aunt when I went back that if they wanted to have perfume soon, they would have to pay a high price and sell them two taels of silver a bottle! Xu Miao sold her stepmother for the sake of her sisters.
"Haha, it turns out that Miao Miao is more like a profiteer than us! Sell them two taels of silver and a bottle of perfume, do you want to give me all the Xu family's property? Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Hmph, even if they don't buy perfume, they usually spend their monthly money elsewhere! And let you make their money, hehe, didn't you tell us before, what's yours is mine, mine is still mine, like that? Xu Miao looked at Xiao Yao slyly and smiled.
"By the way, tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, and the emperor requires all temples to hold various prayer ceremonies, so Jinling City is very lively these days, and it's rare that the stinky pervert is not so busy, or we will go out tomorrow to have fun!" After being comforted, Xiao Wuhua regained her previous lively and lively personality.
"Yes, when the time comes, the ghost sacrifice ceremony, in addition to fasting and offering to monks, there are also activities such as worshipping confession, setting off flames and releasing river lanterns, which can be lively!" Xu Miao also said with great interest.
。。。。。。
The next day, after completing the ceremony of worshiping the ancestors of the Xiao family, Xiao Yao took three beauties, under the protection of the guards led by the big tiger and the second tiger, to Jinling Street, after all, now Song Keer is also a celebrity, and he can't go out as casually as before.
At this time, the people of Jinling have also begun to worship various mid-year festivals: on both sides of the road, there are various offerings at the door of each household, and there is a brazier in front of the offerings, which is burning all kinds of paper money, paper clothes, and even paper people, which is a kind of commemoration of the deceased relatives, burn these things to relatives, so that they can live well in another world, and can also bless themselves with a better life in the future!
A group of people came to the famous Jiming Temple, it is one of the oldest Buddhist temples and royal temples in Jinling City, was founded in the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty, has a history of nearly 300 years, the incense has been vigorous, has the reputation of "the first temple of the Southern Dynasty"!
Today's Jiming Temple is also particularly lively, because there is an order from the emperor, so Jiming Temple also took out a lot of money to hire a large number of migrant workers to repair the temple, and then engaged in a lot of activities, around the Midyear Festival, held several large-scale prayer ceremonies, attracted many pilgrims to come to do good deeds, listen to the scriptures and preach Buddha.
As a faithful believer in Buddhism, Xiao Wuhua is, of course, the most sincere, as soon as he got out of the carriage, he pulled Xiao Yao to kneel and knock nine times, and worshiped from the gate to the main hall.
In Xiao Wuhua's words, if she hadn't prayed for God and Buddha for Xiao Yao at home every day, Xiao Yao would have the infinite scenery now: the officialdom is thriving, the shopping mall is profitable, and the love field is even more embraced left and right, enjoying the blessings of all people.
So Xu Miao and Song Ke'er also prayed with Xiao Wuhua, and these three women also donated a lot of incense money on each merit box, dozens of taels, hundreds of taels and two hundred taels, Xiao Yao grinned in distress, this group of losers, is it easy for me to make money now!
After worshipping the Buddha at last, Xiao Yao was about to go out to calm down the mood of being hemorrhaged, but suddenly saw two old acquaintances, sure enough, they didn't get together, and they met Master Baoliang and his little apprentice Wukong, who they hadn't seen for a long time!
"Amitabha! It's good, it's good, Lao and Shiro are really fateful, I didn't expect to meet here! Master Baoliang said with a smile on his face, but he hadn't seen him for half a year, but Xiao Yao found that there was still a trace of excitement and expectation in his eyes!
"Haha, it's said that it's fate, but I haven't seen you for a long time, doesn't the master feel contradictory?" Xiao Yao sneered.
"Shiro is still Shiro, and he has such sharp teeth, but Lao Ke is not Lao Ke, and now he just wants to concentrate on talking about Buddhism and exchanging articles with Shiro." Bao Liang still smiled.
"Sounds like the Master is in trouble? Why, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't help you as a teacher? Xiao Yao looked at Bao Liang slyly, touched his chin and asked.
"I was calculated by Shiro before, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also seems to have some problems with Lao Ke, haha, but it's okay, without these troubles, Lao Ke can be more relieved to invite Shiro to go to Guangzhai Temple to talk about it, and everyone will continue to talk freely." Bao Liang sent another invitation to Xiao Yao.
"Yes, the master is so sincerely invited, how can Shiro be disappointed, Shiro will definitely visit the master tomorrow!" Xiao Yao was also curious about what happened to Bao Liang.
"Haha! Then the old man is waiting for Shiro's visit! Good, good, good! Bao Liang clasped his hands together and smiled.
。。。。。。
Leaving Jiming Temple, Xiao Yao, who was worried, said to Xu Miao and Xiao Wuhua: "You guys go back first, Ke'er and I will go to the river to worship her mother!" ”
Both of them knew what happened to Song Keer, and today was the Zhongyuan Festival to commemorate their relatives, so they also left Xiao Yao to her very familiarly, and comforted Song Keer softly when they left, and finally left with tears in their eyes.
When I came to the wharf by the river, there were already many people burning paper money and putting river lanterns, ten or hundred...... Countless river lanterns are sparse and dense, floating on the Yangtze River.
The red candlelight reflects the blue water, the stars in the sky are twinkling in the water, the river lamps in the water and the stars in the sky are intertwined with each other, and it is impossible to distinguish which is in the sky and which is in the water, only a galaxy of heaven and earth is surging slowly.
The boat carried offerings and candles, as well as the family's thoughts on the deceased loved ones, the blessings for the living, drifting away with the river, to those who had already left!
Song Ke'er knelt by the river, staring at the eulogy written on a small piece of paper, and then put it in the brazier to watch it burn slowly, tears flowed down her cheeks and slipped into her mouth, Xiao Yao carefully helped her put these sacrifices on the small wooden boat, lit a candle on it, and then Song Ke'er, who was in tears, pushed the wooden boat out, and finally cried out loudly and shouted: "Mother! Are you okay? Lady misses you so much! ”
"Mother, on the day you left me, Childe rescued me, and Childe was very good to me, and there are two sisters, they both treat me like a sister, so Kerr is doing well now, Kerr is no longer lonely, you don't have to worry about me!"
"Childe is a very good person, he takes care of Kerr meticulously, Kerr is difficult to repay his kindness even if he is a cow or a horse, so mother, you must bless Childe with a safe life and everything goes smoothly!"
"Childe also taught Kerr to do business, all thanks to the knowledge and methods you taught Kerr before, Kerr learned so fast, and now the beauty shop is also doing well, I can help Childe, I feel very happy, you also want to bless Kerr to make the business bigger and bigger, and help Childe make more and more money!"
。。。。。。
When Song Ke'er vented all her sorrows, Xiao Yao gently hugged her and comforted: "Don't worry, Mrs. Song will definitely live well in another world, and she will bless us to live happily!" ”
"Well, as long as there is a son by her side, Ke'er will feel very happy! Kerr won't feel lonely and scared anymore! And Kerr was very moved tonight! Song Ke'er burst into tears and laughed, and then whispered in Xiao Yao's ear: "It's rare that the two sisters are not here tonight, does the son want Ke'er to sleep?" ”
That soft voice made Xiao Yao suddenly angry, and immediately ordered the big tiger and the second tiger to drive back to the general sugar factory!
