Recently, Yang Lihua has been in a good mood, first of all, her daughter Yuwen Eying got married, and the groom came to greet her in person, and then went to Guanzhong to get married.
Liu Ye accompanied the little girl on a long journey, lived in Guanzhong for a while, and just returned to Xiyang not long ago, and talked in detail about Yuwen Eying's married life, in short, everything went well, the groom was good to the bride, and the aunt was also good to the bride.
Yuwen Eying is doing well, Yang Lihua, who is a mother, is relieved, and it is not only this thing that makes her happy.
Yang Lihua's younger brother Yang Guang, who "left seeds" in Xiyang before becoming a monk last year, and now the two accompanying women have successfully given birth to baby boys after being pregnant in October, which makes Yang Lihua cry with joy.
Her father, Yang Jian, finally has a grandson to continue the incense!
This matter is extremely secret, so it can't be publicized, because once the matter is revealed, the court will inevitably cut the grass and eradicate the roots, in order to keep the incense of the Yang family, Yang Lihua can only continue to let the two little guys and their mothers live an ordinary life in different places.
This is thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, so Yang Lihua wants to go to the temple to make a vow, and the incense money is naturally indispensable, and she even wants to fund the opening of the mountain to build a big Buddha, but considering many factors, she can only dispel the idea.
It costs a lot of money to build a big Buddha in the past years in Chang'an, Guan Long magnates funded the opening of mountains and caves in various places to build a big Buddha, the cost is very amazing, the Yang family believes in Buddhism, naturally also spent a lot of money, Yang Lihua knows that if she is a sole proprietorship to build a statue, I am afraid that you will have to spend most of your savings.
But she was willing to give everything she had, and she also wanted to make a statue to express her devotion to the Buddha.
As the concubine of the King of Xiyang, Yang Lihua has a lot of "body money" every month, Yuwenwen is very good to her, and she is extremely able to make money, so Yang Lihua has more and more money in her hands, and the expenses are not big.
But this is too public, even if the statue is anonymous, it is easy to attract the attention of others and add many variables.
Another reason is that Yang Lihua is worried that Yuwenwen has an opinion, not that Yuwenwen will be stimulated to suddenly break his promise and cut down the Yang family, but that Yuwenwen will be mad because of the statue.
Yuwenwen doesn't believe in Buddhism, doesn't believe in Taoism, although he also goes to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to burn incense from time to time, but Yang Lihua can see that Yuwenwen regards burning incense as looking for a doctor to check the pulse, which has nothing to do with believing it or not.
Headache and brain fever, of course, you have to ask a doctor to prescribe a medicine to check the pulse, and in the same way, Yuwenwen goes to burn incense when he is in a bad mood or is in a good mood, and the reason is the same as going to the doctor if he is not feeling well.
It doesn't matter about faith, it doesn't matter about piety, and even arranges the stories of Buddhism and Taoism from time to time, especially the arrangement of "one word is a monk, two words are monks, three words are ghost music officials, and four words are hungry ghosts", which makes people speechless.
Yuwenwen strictly forbids the female dependents in the house to spend too much money on the Buddha, especially donating money to make Buddha statues is never allowed, and the other thing is that it is strictly forbidden to go to the temple to ask for children, Yuwenwen is in the house all day long chanting "hungry ghosts in the color", which makes Yang Lihua a little embarrassed to see the monk now.
In view of this, her plan to fund the opening of the mountain to build a Buddha statue can only be imagined, and today she brought a lot of incense to Anning Temple, in addition to repaying her wishes, but also to burn the next portion.
According to the arrangement of the princess, Yang Lihua will "suddenly fall ill and bedridden" today, and when the female guest lives in the mansion, she will not have to show her face.
The reason why she wanted to avoid suspicion was because the princess said that the female guest knew Yang Lihua and knew her identity as the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so she wanted to avoid meeting the two parties.
Yang Lihua didn't know the true identity of this female guest, but as the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she had seen many noble ladies, so there were not a few women who recognized her, but Yang Lihua was a little puzzled, why did someone even recognize her on the other side of Lingbiao?
And this woman's identity is so noble, she can live in Xiyang Wangfu when she passes by Xiyang, Yang Lihua can't help but wonder: Whose girl or lady or Mrs. is this, with such a big face?
It's useless to think about this kind of problem, she just needs to lie in the bedroom and pretend to be sick because she is "infected with a bad disease", and it is conspicuous to move out to live, because she doesn't know how long the other party will live, so Yang Lihua may have to lie on the couch and pretend to be sick for a while, so today she will burn it with the incense next time.
There are many pilgrims, Yang Lihua is inconvenient to stay in front of the Buddha statue for too long, turn around and walk out of the main hall, and there are many pilgrims entered, praying for safety for themselves or their families, and now the imperial court uses troops against Chen Guo, and many family members of the official army come to the temple from time to time to offer incense.
There are also many merchants and the families of dart masters are also among them, thanks to the smooth progress of the war, more and more people are profiting from it, so Jiangzhou and even the Lingbiao area have become a new market for Huangzhou merchants.
"Now, do you know how many incense sticks are burned in Anning Temple in a day? Just making and selling incense, how many people are fed? ”
"The business of Anning Temple is so good, and the daily traffic is steadily increasing, do you know how many surrounding industries it feeds?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Isn't the temple opening its door just for business? Don't you want to talk about it for your husband? Hmph, it's really not possible to engage in a few "auspicious rui", so that the fame of Anning Temple is getting bigger and bigger! ”
"After becoming bigger and stronger, you have to open a branch! When the time comes, the wealth will be abundant! ”
"Also, Yiyi makes Buddha statues and sets aside a place to engrave the names of those who donate money, do you know how many people are fed by this kind of trade? This market has broad prospects, and the money comes quickly! ”
"I've thought about it for my husband, invest in a few Yiyi, specialize in customizing Buddha statues, what stone, wood or gold, silver, copper and iron can do, and use molds to make more than ten statues a day!"
"All kinds of sizes, all kinds of styles, all kinds of preferential packages, what buy one get one free, what second half price, thrifty by people, when the time comes, this industry will be handed over to you to manage, anyway, you have a lot of research on Buddha statues!"
Yu Wenwen's yin and yang strange ridicule kept echoing in Yang Lihua's ears, and the originally good Buddhist pure land suddenly became a business field in her opinion, just like a wine shop, tea shop, restaurant or market, full of philistine atmosphere.
"Anning Temple's income generation target for next year is a net profit of 10,000 yuan!"
Yang Lihua smiled bitterly and shook her head, to shake away this kind of yin and yang weird ridicule, Yu Wenwen could joke without any psychological burden, but she didn't dare to have any disrespect for the Buddha.
Just walked out of the temple gate, but saw a large group of people gathered in the open space in front of the door, and attracted more people to come and watch, she didn't want to do much, but saw the onlookers tiptoeing, as if they were looking at some interesting scene, so they glanced at the willow leaves.
Liu Ye nodded and walked forward quickly, she was not worried about leaving Yang Lihua alone, because the guards in civilian clothes were guarding Yang Lihua's side.
She used a spicy trick to separate a group of men and squeeze to the front, only to see a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes sitting cross-legged on the ground in the small open space in the middle of the crowd, holding a clay bowl full of water, and chanting words in his mouth.
"Hey, this guy is holding a clay bowl, is he asking for food?" Liu Ye asked a person next to him in a ploppy tone, and the person didn't want to answer, but seeing Liu Ye like this, he still hummed a few words: "He said that there is an adventure and he can see it in a while." ”
Auspicious sign? I'd like to see how you deceive!
Liu Ye thought so in his heart, looked at the middle-aged man seriously, and after a while, he saw him sing a sentence "Maitreya is born" and then put the tile bowl on the ground, and suddenly, a green lotus actually grew out of the tile bowl.
The flowers are colorful and luxuriant, and they appear in the tile bowl in front of everyone's eyes, causing the onlookers to exclaim: "Wow.... Auspicious!! ”
