Chapter 635: Lama
The 100-day banquet of the Lin family's grandson was very grand, and basically the officials of Taiyuan City posted posts. Most of the officials rushed over, and the officials who didn't come basically also sent gifts and congratulatory replies.
The house is also full of lights, nearly 100 tables are set up, flowing water seats seem to be spread out as if they don't need money, and the juggling and singing troupes in the city have invited several, and all kinds of applause are almost turning the sky upside down.
"Old man, we've been making trouble for a long time, why haven't we seen your grandson yet, and I'll take it out for everyone to see. "In the hall of the Lin family, there are three tables, and those who can enter this room are basically the top characters in Taiyuan City.
The person who spoke, named Wang Jinsong, was a deputy envoy of the Inspectorate Department, and the old man Lin had also been this official before, so this Wang Jinsong had always appeared as a junior in front of the old man.
For this reason, he has a close relationship with the Lin family, and often drinks and chats with Lin Xianhai and others.
"Yes, we have always heard about how smart this little young master of the Lin family is, and the old man has to let us see and understand. The people on the side also started to make a commotion, and the house soon became lively.
The old man rubbed his cane in his hand, listened to the voices of everyone, immediately smiled, and turned his head to look at a maid. "Go and inform Young Master Fang Hong, it's time to take out my great-grandson. ”
The maid answered, and then hurriedly walked into the back hall, and after a while, Fang Hong and Xie Chaoyu walked out, and in Xie Chaoyu's arms, they were still holding a baby wearing a tiger head hat.
"Huh. When they saw Fang Hong and Xie Chaoyu, everyone present couldn't help but praise in their hearts. The child's parents are also good-looking, and the child must be good-looking.
There were many guests in the house, but the ugly baby was not stage frightened at all, but was looking around with round eyes, and seemed to maintain a strong curiosity about everything in this world.
After more than 100 days, the ugly baby has already grown up, and it is no longer the wrinkled appearance at the beginning. Her skin is white and rosy, and her eyes look like black charcoal, making her look very cute.
When everyone saw it, they naturally complimented one after another. Fortunately, there are no female dependents here, otherwise the ugly baby will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being teased in turns.
"Shouldn't we wear a hundred family clothes for the little master next? "Now that the sun is at noon, and everyone has had lunch, it is time for the 100 days to be the main event.
On the day of the baby's 100 days, the child must be dressed in a hundred clothes. Hundreds of clothes, that is, relatives and friends, each family takes out a piece of cloth, piece together into a piece of clothing, the baby wears a hundred clothes, then the disaster is blessed, peace and auspicious.
Lin Jingyuan stroked his beard and smiled, and the housekeeper on the side quickly walked over with a tray, and in the tray, there was a variety of colored clothes, a bit like a beggar's suit, covered with patches. But the materials used are excellent, silk satin, silk cloth, almost all kinds of fine materials can be seen.
Xie Chaoyu picked up the hundred clothes with both hands and put them on the outside of the ugly baby's cotton clothes. The ugly baby tugged at the clothes on her body vigorously, and seemed to be a little disgusted.
After putting on the clothes, Fang Hong picked up a silver longevity lock and put it on the neck of the ugly baby. The longevity lock naturally has the meaning of locking life and living a hundred years old, which is the blessing of the family for the younger generations.
After putting on the longevity lock, everyone congratulated in unison, and the room was lively again.
In the midst of this bustle, a middle-aged lama with a yellow monk's skirt and a yellow monk's skirt walked up. At first glance, this lama is a Tibetan from Usi, with black and red cheeks, a strong body, and a layer of green skin and stubble on the top of his head, which looks solemn and peaceful.
"Little monk Gong Tang Danba, I have seen you. The lama walked out of the crowd, nodded slightly, and saluted to the crowd.
Lamaism does not have much inheritance in the Ming Dynasty, but there are a large number of them in Wusizang, and it is rumored that the lamas in Wusizang can decide the change of regime, which is a very incredible thing for the people of Daming.
In recent years, there has been a tendency for lamas to gradually move eastward, and there has been a rapid development in Tatar and other places. And Shanxi borders Tatar, and it is not unusual for lamas to appear here.
"I've seen the master. "Although people know very little about Lamaism, the habit of the Han people is to worship the gods when they see them, whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, or some messy deity, there is nothing wrong with worshipping. Therefore, everyone also returned the gift.
"Little monk, can you take a look at this little young master?" Danba walked up to Fang Hong's side and said with a sincere face. Fang Hong's thoughts were keen, he could observe good and evil, and the aura on this lama's body was pure, so he nodded and did not refuse.
Danba bowed his head, his eyes looking at the ugly baby, but he was reciting a scripture of unknown meaning in his mouth. Fang Hong is a deity, there is no language barrier, he can hear clearly, the other party is reciting a prayer scripture.
At this moment, the room was very quiet, and everyone was looking at this lama, not knowing what this monk of Uszang was going to do. After chanting for about a cup of tea, Danba gently patted the top door of the ugly baby with his palm, and slapped it three times in a row before withdrawing his hand.
"The little young master's eyes are smart, his eyes are full of divine light, he should be the third ancestor of my Gongtang Temple, and he is my teacher's Hubilhan, I hope to lead this son into my Gongtang Temple, and I hope that your mansion can be fulfilled. The lama saluted Fang Hong again and said with a smile.
None of the people present could understand his words, but the approximate meaning seemed to be that this person wanted the ugly baby to become a monk.
"The master's temple is going to be built near this Taiyuan City?" Hearing this, Lin Jingyuan was not angry, it was very common for children to go to the temple to become monks, and everyone also hoped that the children could grow up healthily under the protection of the Buddha, and it would be good to return to the vulgar when they were ten years old.
"Gongtang Temple is located in Uszang, but if the little monk wants to build a temple in Tatar, the little master can go to Tatar with the little monk to practice. Danba smiled, and his tone was not slow or hurried.
And as soon as he said this, Lin Jingyuan was not happy. If this lama temple is built near Taiyuan, then it doesn't matter if the ugly baby goes to become a monk. But now that the temple is in Tatar, isn't it giving away their own children.
"Thank you for the kindness of the master, our ugly baby is so young, she can't stand the suffering, you better find someone else. Lin Jingyuan rejected this lama, the place of Tatar is an uncivilized barbarian land, the ugly baby went there, what if she becomes like the Hu people?
