Chapter Ninety-Three: Leaving the Door
I asked Wang Erdonkey if he remembered what he was going to do first thing after he came out of the court. Wang Erdonkey was silent for a long time, and said solemnly: "Of course I remember, we are going to rescue Sister Erya." ”
Sister Er Ya has been sent to the city for a while, and I don't know how she is doing now. In the past, when we couldn't do it, we could only watch her being escorted away, but now that we have this ability, we must find a way to save her!
On Wednesday, I went to Lao Wang's house early in the morning to help. The importance of the old Wang's family this time is no less than marrying a daughter-in-law, the weather is very cold, but the courtyard is full of joy, and more than a dozen tables are set. In the corner of the courtyard, a large stove is built, a fire is made below, and a large black pot is above, and the braised pork is steaming inside.
When the warehouse was cleared, there were four or five large iron shelves, on which were displayed plates of fried fish, although they had just been fried and had not returned to the pot, they looked so appetizing.
I hung a string of red firecrackers at the door. Wang Erdonkey walked out of the house like a dog, he changed into a suit, his small back was shiny, and he was smoking the master who was helping in the yard. Someone quipped: "Second donkey, this is the marriage, what about the bride?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense," Wang Erdonkey hurriedly said: "Today is the old fairy hall who inherits the family." Our old fairy is anxious, listening to you joke like this, I can't guarantee that she won't trouble you. ”
"Yo, what does she want?" The man laughed. Before he finished laughing, he didn't hold it in his hand, the teapot was on the ground, and it was smashing on his foot, and he bared his teeth in pain. The people around laughed and said who made you cheap. The old fairy of the old Wang family is really extraordinary, and there are famous villages in ten miles and eight villages, which is really a good way.
Everything was arranged, and at ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Shenxian also came out. He hadn't had a good stroke, but he had no trouble walking or talking, his mouth was slightly crooked, his eyes were slightly crooked, he was on crutches, wrapped in a thick black cotton jacket, and he limped out of the house.
Wang Erdonkey and I hurried over to help him, and Wang Shenxian pushed us away and asked us to greet the guests at the door. Wang Erdonkey took the cigarette and said worriedly: "Grandpa, is anyone here today, it's ten o'clock, except for the uncle and uncle in the hometown, how can there be outsiders." If you are sick or not, no one in the Tao will give you face. ”
"Fart!" Wang Shenxian scolded: "The people who open the hall are essentially Jianghu gangs, and they are the most righteous, which is like these social people who are ungrateful now." Don't talk nonsense, hurry to the door to greet guests, don't say I'll beat you if you lack courtesy. ”
Before I came, I also changed into new clothes and helped Wang Erdonkey usher in the delivery. We were waiting when a black sedan pulled up at the door and two women got out of the car. A man in his fifties, wearing a bright red cotton shirt and cotton pants, his whole body is red with coals, but his face is full of folds, and he is rubbing a thick foundation, looking like an old monster. The other woman is quite young, full of wind and dust, the upper body is a short and delicate cotton jacket, the lower body is actually black stockings, stepping on high heels, and the figure is not good.
Wang Erdonkey and I glanced at each other, hurried over, and Wang Erdonkey said, "Who are the two of you?" ”
The old woman in her fifties said, "Please listen to it, is this Wang Youfu and their family?" ”
"Exactly." Wang Erdonkey hurriedly straightened his waist: "I am Wang Youfu's grandson, my name is Wang Shisheng." ”
"Yo, so it's your inheritance today?" The old woman looked at Wang Erdonkey from one glance to the next.
Wang Erdonkey nodded: "I don't know what to call the two of you?" ”
"The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple," the old woman smiled: "I am a good friend of Wang Youfu, and the Taoist newspaper is called Li Lingdang." This is my apprentice Xiaoxue. ”
The young dusty woman next to her nodded at us.
Wang Erdonkey's eyes lit up: "It turned out to be Aunt Li, waiting for you to be old for a long time, you are the leading master of my hall." ”
"It's easy to say, there are successors to the old Wang family, and I'm also happy. Shi Sheng, this is a meeting gift for you. Li Lingdang took out a big red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Erdonkey.
Wang Erdonkey was polite and accepted it. I led Li Lingzhong and his apprentices to the table, and I also had a job to register the guests and write their names on a big red piece of paper.
The two of them went to the inner room to greet Wang Shenxian. When they left, I said, "Why is Li Lingzhong's predecessor's apprentice a young lady?" ”
"Which one?" Wang Erdonkey is looking at his big back with a small mirror.
I looked at the name on the red paper: "It's the one named Xiaoxue." ”
"Yo," he said, putting down the mirror, "be quiet, don't talk nonsense." These masters are mysterious and unpredictable, and they can't guess blindly, and they can't offend people without saying a word. ”
I was a little unhappy: "Let's two analyze what we're afraid of here, how can she bite me." ”
Wang Erdonkey ignored me, and another guest arrived. In the morning, many people came one after another, men, women and children, laughing heartily, and some were gloomy and silent, and they only nodded when they greeted each other.
In addition to these Jianghu people, Lao Wang's family also invited some villagers with heads and faces in the village, and the village party secretary and his wife attended, and the courtyard suddenly became lively. It's just that the sky is not beautiful, and small snowflakes have floated, but we have an old saying in the Northeast, the snow is not cold, and the snow is cold. The sky is snowing, the temperature has risen, and the wind is not strong.
It was almost time for people to come, and it was past eleven o'clock at noon. Wang Shenxian and Wang Erdonkey came to the high place of the courtyard, Li Lingzhong was the master of ceremonies, cleared his throat and said: "Colleagues, friends, be quiet and quiet, today is the day of great joy for the old Wang family, we are here to witness the inheritance of Wang Youfu's Qingfeng Tangkou to his grandson, Wang Shisheng." Everybody's chirping. ”
The people below applauded.
Wang Shenxian sat on crutches and was satisfied.
Li Lingdang said: "Don't gossip. Officially open the door to the court, the first step is to open the door and tie the cloth with incense! ”
Li Lingdang took Wang Erdonkey down from a high place, walked to the gate, and pushed the courtyard door wider. Wang Erdonkey hung the big red cloth on the door. Li Ling said loudly: "One is smoke soul incense, and three are Hu Huangchang." For incense insertion, the incense head is required to be no more than an inch, and the left incense to the right incense can not exceed one inch. I stand on the left for the Dharma protector incense, and Wang Shisheng, the incense lighter, stands on the right. Shi Sheng, light the incense. ”
Wang Erdonkey could see that he was really nervous, and the masters in the courtyard were silent, looking at him. He took a deep breath, pulled a long stick of incense from the incense chop, and lit the incense stick.
The incense was not lit, only smoke came out, and Li Lingdang's face was a little unsightly at that time. The smoke came out for a moment, and then the incense appeared a little brighter, and then it became brighter, and the more it burned, the brighter it became, and there was the crackling sound of flames splashing everywhere.
Li Lingzhong turned his worries into joy: "This is the light and dark incense, and the Lord is lucky." Good luck. ”
The courtyard burst into applause. Although I didn't understand it, I was also infected by the atmosphere and applauded.
Incense was burned at the door, and Li Lingdang led Wang Erdonkey to the front of the hall, burning three incense sticks and inserting them in front of the shrine. The entrance of the house is now moved to the courtyard, where the god table is placed, and the statue of the old fairy is placed on the main seat.
The next step is to invite the old fairy's hall to return to the house, and the beautiful name is to say that the fairy family will return home. The rules here are also quite big, and they can't be put in the same place. The original old fairy hall was placed in the southeast of the house, which was the place where Wang Shenxian came out, and now that Wang Erdonkey has set up the hall again, he can't put it back. According to Li Lingdang's instructions, the entrance of the hall should be placed in the wing room of the west room.
A few of us helped, carried the old fairy's table, and went to the West House. It has long been cleaned up here, similar to the wedding house, and there is a big red blessing word posted at the door. The door was opened, the inside was cleaned up, and a few of us carried the table to the west and placed it against the wall.
The rest of the process went smoothly, and this was the most critical last step.
The last step is to officially immediately enter the fairy hall and give people a doctor. Among these guests, ask someone who has something to do at home to come out and solve the problem on the spot. Under normal circumstances, such people are entrusted and arranged in advance.
Before officially looking at things, Li Lingdang also had to give Wang Erdonkey an ordination, which is to talk about the rules of travel, which is equivalent to the legal provisions of the travel world.
"If you want to see things, the first is to meditate, and the heart is calm and the immortal is one. After meditating, the heart should be steady, and the matter should not be cut off in a hurry. No matter who sits in front of you, don't worry about who he is. The heart comes to calm down to cut off things, and your own immortal family falls on you. The immortal body is logistically instructing, and the disciple only needs to stabilize his heart. Visualize the gossip under the seat, the back row of countless soldiers and horses, the handsome flag in his hand, and the immortals from all walks of life listen to my order......"
Li Lingzhong doesn't look old and ugly, but she has a unique momentum when she reads the article, she speaks clearly and is very demagogic. I nodded secretly, I will go out of the hall in the future, and I must find such a leader.
I was thinking about it for a while, after the ceremony, I asked Grandpa Wang to introduce me, and asked Li Lingdang to come forward and help me settle the bill. Anyway, one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also herded.
At this time, Li Ling shouted loudly to the courtyard: "Now look at things on the spot, who can say it if he has difficulties, the hall of the old Wang family is officially out of the hall!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a burly man in a military coat in the courtyard wanted to raise his hand. He and Wang Shenxian looked at each other, and they should have invited the nursery. The big man raised his hand, and before he was halfway there, suddenly someone in the corner spoke loudly: "I have something I want to ask the old fairy to see, is it okay?" ”
Everyone looked over together, and there was a middle-aged man sitting in the corner. It was so cold, he only wore a thin jacket, which was dark linen, white and clean with gold-rimmed glasses, and smiled as soon as he spoke. This person's appearance is obviously not from the north, but from the south, much like Lao Guang over there in Guangzhou.
Wang Shenxian's face was solemn, this person was an uninvited guest.
No one spoke in the courtyard, in fact, everyone knew that this was a formality, and a banquet was going to be held after the process was over, and the wine came up, but I didn't expect such a person to suddenly run out.
"I have something to ask for, and I don't know if it's okay?" This old Guang said with a smile, a mouthful of southern Mandarin.
Li Lingdang is also an old man who has traveled from south to north, and immediately laughed: "Welcome, welcome, I don't know what you have to do, don't hide in the back, go up and say in front." ”
The southerner stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked over with a smile on his face.
