In the following days, everyone fell into unprecedented busyness, and Tang Xiucai still tried to fulfill his promise, although he did not promise anything. Not only to set up a stall to write, but also to take time to copy Buddhist scriptures, but also to go to the temple to help write plaques, repair inscriptions, candles burn three heads, busy and happy. Even sometimes I couldn't go home, so I slept in the Tianfei Palace.

As for the shopkeeper Zhu, the same is true, he gets up before dawn, mixes noodles, chops stuffing, and wraps buns.

Finally, when the business was done in the morning, he immediately ran to the back, picked up the chiseling, axe and saw, and was busy non-stop. is often busy until the second half of the night, and such a strong man is stunned to climb up to the pit.

And the inner shopkeeper, even more miserable, trinkets, small things, the most troublesome to do, she has to help buy all kinds of materials, after it is done, but also one by one acceptance, to ensure high quality, exquisite workmanship.

Fortunately, there are many people who know the shopkeeper and do things vigorously, if you change someone, I am afraid that the silver will not be able to hold up in front of you.

But despite the busyness, everyone is happy. The shopkeeper has calculated, the purchase cost of an ordinary bracelet is only five yuan, Tang Yi priced her at ten yuan, and with a bracelet, she can earn five yuan, which is worthy of her selling twenty buns.

If it weren't for the uncertain future of this business, she would have wanted to close the shop and concentrate on this.

Although everyone is busy, the one who started it is not much more idle. Tang Yi helped the shopkeeper think of ideas and design patterns at most, and occasionally his father would call him to help, but his handwriting could not be compared with his father, he wrote two couplets and copied a few pages of Buddhist scriptures, and after Tang Xiucai read it, he silently threw it into the paper basket.

"No, I'm too lazy to write!"

Tang Yi simply ran back home, reading and writing. When I'm idle, I go to the street to buy some meat and vegetables, and make a few delicious side dishes to send to my father.

Every time at this time, Tang Xiucai would be very proud, sitting at the gate of the temple, munching in front of the working craftsmen, eating with a mouth full of oil, not enough to be suffocated.

Of course, this is Tang Yi's thoughts, if Tang Xiu knows, there is no place to cry: you are willing to be Lao Tzu, who asked you to bring meat dishes!

But after eating for more than half a month, there is a bit of meat on his face, and his son's craftsmanship is really not bad.

Time flies, tomorrow is July 15, the legendary Halloween. According to folk sayings, on the first day of July, the ghost door is opened, and the ghosts of the underworld will go to the world to check the good and evil behavior of future generations, and the descendants will take the opportunity to sacrifice. After July, the ghost gate is closed, and if the descendants do not sacrifice, the lonely ghosts will float in the world for a whole year!!

It is a great sin to let the ancestors suffer, and once the ancestors are angry, the descendants will suffer.

Regardless of whether the family has money or not, they must buy some incense candles, burn paper, ingots, and send some money to the ancestors.

Tang Yi originally didn't believe in these things, but he even encountered it, so there was no reason not to believe it. Sitting in the carriage, he said: "Uncle Zhu, I'm afraid I'm going to be busy in the Tianfei Palace for the past two days, and when I'm free tomorrow, you can send some burning paper and tribute, and my father and I will pay tribute to our ancestors." ”

"Okay, don't worry, Xiao Xianggong, send the things to me, and I'll buy them when I get back."

The two of them said, the carriage hurried faster and faster, and just after noon, they arrived in front of the gate of the Tianfei Palace.

After a month's time, the front door of Tianfei Palace has been basically repaired, and the newly made golden plaque at the main entrance, the three words "Tianfei Palace" dragon flying phoenix dance, is the handwriting of the father. As soon as you enter the mountain gate, it is the palace of the heavenly king, with the four generals of the demon family, each majestic and vicious, the face of the door is hideous, some hold the sword, some hold the pipa, some hold the umbrella, and there are long insects, paint and color paintings, very imposing.

There is also a bluestone tablet next to it, which reads the introduction of the four generals of the demon family, no need to ask, it was also written by my father.

In front of the main hall is not a large empty space, and there is a huge incense burner in the middle, and the incense candles are piled up on the side to form a hill, which is exactly for tomorrow.

Tang Yi often came over, as if nothing had happened between him and Zhen, after meeting, he was full of courtesy and politeness, just like a friend. The little novice in the temple likes Tang Yi even more, who makes him have a lot of strange stories in his head!

When Xu Chen saw Tang Yi, he greeted him with a smile, and asked mysteriously, "Little donor, are you free today?" ”

"What?"

"Last time you promised to go to the meeting alone, the little monk can always remember it!" Xu Chen looked adoring, pulled Tang Yi and said: "Let's talk quickly, is Master Guan so powerful that he killed all the thieves in Dongwu alone!" ”

Tang Yi is speechless, are you a monk, don't fight and kill at every turn. Speaking of which, it is also strange that Tang Yi is cheap, and accidentally commented on the Three Kingdoms a few words, which aroused the popularity of Xiao Shami.

Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Guan Yu has quickly become a national idol. The male learns Guan Yunchang, and the female learns Wang Baochuan. I don't know how to put these two together.

Even the little novice with the monk has become a fan of Guan Yu, whenever Tang Yi talks about Taoyuan Righteousness, Three British Battles for Rubles, Five Levels and Six Generals, and Thousands of Miles of Riding Alone, a large group of people will gather, and they will be fascinated by it. Tang Yi even felt that he had the potential to be a storyteller.

"It's okay to tell a story, but ......," Tang Yi lengthened his voice.

"But whatever, I'll do anything!" Xuchen said with a golden star in his small eyes.

"Don't you see what's in the carriage, move it down quickly." Tang Yi said with a smile.

At this time, the shopkeeper Zhu had already taken away the mat from the carriage.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff.

Xuchen's eyes widened, and the first thing he saw was twenty identical, red-painted merit boxes, none of which were too big, and he could easily move them down, so he agreed with a smile.

Tang Yi commanded on the side, put one at the mountain gate, one next to the incense burner, one at the door of the hall, and one next to the worship mat......

It didn't take long for everything to be put in place, and these places were all within reach of pilgrims.

Then he took down a special incense candle, good fellow, the largest one was almost three feet long, the thickness of a finger, and it was wrapped in colorful decorations, and it looked like a tall thing. Needless to tell, Xuchen also knew that these things should be placed in the most conspicuous position next to the incense burner.

The rest is all kinds of trinkets, small Buddha statues, bracelets, peace charms...... These must be sent to the main hall to be edified, no, it is enlightenment.

"Everything is ready, it depends on the effect of tomorrow!" Tang Yi smiled confidently, the weakness of human nature is the same at all times, I don't believe that I can't get silver!

Tang Yi didn't notice that all his actions were really watched, and the monk walked in with his hand behind the mountain gate, and there was a big merit box in front of him every time he turned a corner.

"Merit merit, merit, fun!" The monk smiled in surprise.

Oh oh oh, the rooster is dawning, the sky is shining, and the weeds are covered with dew.

There are people who burn incense and come to the Tianfei Palace early. Xiao Shami is waiting here, holding a three-inch-high, clay statue of Maitreya Buddha in his hand, shy chest and belly, naïve and cute, and his face is full of blessings.

"Amitabha, donor, you are the first guest to come to burn incense, which shows the sincerity of the heart of the Buddha, this is a little heart of the temple, and my Buddha blesses the donor and his family."

Xuchen said, respectfully sending the Buddha statue over.

A pilgrim who looked like a village woman took it, and was dumbfounded, she hadn't heard that the temple took the initiative to send things, so she hesitated, took it carefully, hurriedly thanked her, and entered the mountain gate.

Then a few pilgrims came, Xuchen also sent Buddha statues, silently chanting scriptures, if you listen carefully, you will find that he recites clearly: "Don't meat buns and dogs, don't......"

The woman arrived at the main hall, turned around, burned incense for the concubine Niangniang, the four heavenly kings, turned around and was about to leave, just saw the merit box next to the incense burner at a glance, and subconsciously asked, "Master, what is this for?" ”

"Amitabha, female donor, this is a merit box, the temple accepts alms from all parties, if the female donor has a heart, you can reward some incense money, it doesn't hurt not to reward, as long as you sincerely worship the Buddha, you will be able to prosper the family, and live a long life."

It turned out to be asking for money, but the old lady didn't give it!

She walked outside, and heard two pilgrims behind her muttering in a low voice: "Let others do things with some money, let alone the Buddha!" ”

"Yes, people also sent Buddha statues to bless our family, and we can't let our family suffer!" As they spoke, they all took out some copper coins, which looked like dozens of them, and threw them into the merit box.

The woman's footsteps stopped, her face turned red, she came to burn incense and prayed to her son by the way, seeing that she was twenty years old, and she did not have a daughter-in-law!

Take things for nothing, how can the Buddha bless them! The woman gritted her teeth and was ruthless, took out a piece of broken silver, and threw it in.

When, loud!

Xuchen at the door almost screamed out, and kept shouting in his heart: Give money, really give money, the little donor's method is spiritual!
