Chapter 066
Wu Jun is also afraid, now he can't get a bad reputation, especially the female relatives!
"Morning the hen" has a bad reputation!
Please see Daji's ending for details.
"Mother, in July, I don't know if mother wants to go to the temple to offer incense to father?" Wu Jun quickly changed the subject: "Why don't you go to Fahai Temple?"
Wu Youwei: "Pfft!"
Fa Hai, return to the Zen Temple?
Mrs. Wu asked him with a dark face, "What are you laughing at?"
If I hadn't been able to deal with him at this time, I would have sent him to kneel in the Buddhist hall long ago!
"It's nothing, I just thought of a story. By the way, isn't Fahai the name of a monk?" Wu Youwei thought of "Legend of the White Snake" and the song "Fahai You Don't Know Love" in later generations. It triggered a series of social reactions and called it the "Fahai incident" at the time.Can he hold back his laughter?It's impossible!
"Who has such a big face, dare to use 'Fahai' as the name of the Dharma? That is the Fahai Temple built by the late emperor." Wu Ying pouted.
Wu Youwei was taken aback for a moment, oh, I remembered.
He just said, the name sounds familiar.
At this time it was called Fahai Temple, but in modern times, it is called "Fahai Temple".
Fahai Temple is located at Modekou, Shijingshan District. It was first built in the fourth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, and it took four years to complete.
Ming Yingzong bestowed the name "Fahai Temple" and awarded a "Tripitaka", making it a prestigious royal temple at that time.
He remembered that when he went on a public tour in Beijing, the tour guide introduced that the most famous thing in Fahai Temple is the murals in the temple.
Nine exquisite murals of the Ming Dynasty have been completely preserved on the six walls of the Daxiong Hall of Fahai Temple.
Experts believe that these murals have high artistic value and cultural relic value. They are one of the very few extant murals made by court painters in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. He remembers them so clearly because the tour guide said at the time, The murals of Fahai Temple are as famous as Dunhuang murals and Shanxi Yongle Palace murals.
No wonder I want to burn incense there, the royal temple, how majestic!
Just, why go to the royal monastery? ?
"Where's the royal temple!" Mrs. Wu looked at Mrs. Wu expectantly.
Mrs. Wu had a headache, Wu Jun winked at her, looked at Wu Qian'er, Mrs. Wu suddenly regained her spirits: "Yes, the royal temple, our family is also a family of officials and officials, go and put incense on your father in front of the Buddha, bless you Our house is safe and sound."
The female relatives were immediately happy, Mrs. Wu even stayed for breakfast with Wu Jun, Wu Maid and Wu Ying.
Then the first wife and the second wife talked about the trip with the old lady, especially the younger ones were even more happy.
Wu Youwei could hear their words through the screen. It's pitiful. Ancient women, especially the female relatives of rich families, have been feudal for thousands of years, and the result of becoming more and more feudal is that it is inconvenient for them to go out. Go shopping?That is a dream!
The best way to go out is to enjoy incense and pray to Buddha, even if you get together with friends in your boudoir, you will still be in the back house, back garden, otherwise, you have to wear a hat to cover your face when you go out, what a shame!
As a result, little Wu Qiong ran over and asked Wu Youwei, "Uncle, uncle, where is Zen Master Fahai?"
This child confused "Zen Temple" and "Zen Master", and Wu Youwei laughed again!
It caused everyone to stare at him. While eating, he suddenly laughed out loud, how many people were shocked!
"Zen Master Fahai, of course...not here, but Fahai Temple is here." Wu Youwei patted the little guy's head and gave him a piece of white-cut lean meat to eat.
The legend of "The Legend of the White Snake" has a long history and is well-known to every household. It is one of the four major folk love legends in China (the other three are "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Meng Jiangnu" and "Cowherd and Weaver Girl").The Legend of the White Snake matured and prevailed in the Qing Dynasty. People in this period could not understand this stalk...
After a ridiculous breakfast, Wu Youwei hurried back to his small yard and hurriedly called Wu Xu over, and told him that he might go to worship Buddha in July.
Wu Xu was stunned after hearing this, and then asked cautiously: "Young master, do you want to make preparations early?"
"What preparations are you making? The female relatives are going to burn incense and worship Buddha, so they need to make early preparations. I don't have any here.. Hey, no, I have to make early preparations. Ask anyone in the family who wants to go with them? Please sign up. It's rare for the whole family to go out to have fun, and everyone has a share." Wu Youwei smiled: "Let's just go out and let the wind go."
It is not difficult for him as the master to go out and come in, but it is difficult for the maids and daughter-in-laws at home.
And he seems to remember that a big maid like Furong Jasmine spends all year round in the small yard, going out to buy rouge and gouache.
No matter how many people are together, they dare not, because they are all women, and no men have the courage to go far.
"Then they'll be happy." Wu Xu said with a smile, "I'll make arrangements for you, anyone who wants to go."
"In addition, you go to buy two carriages, the horses that pull the carriages, there must be many people when you go out that day, and there are not so many carriages if there are too many people. If you walk over, you will be exhausted." Wu Youwei said: "Let our people It’s nice to have a car to ride in.”
"However, if you bought a carriage and horses, how do you keep them? Can the mansion allow them?" Wu Xu thought a little more, and said anxiously: "If the carriage enters the mansion before going, it will definitely be used by the mansion in advance. ...
"It's okay, you keep it in a big car shop outside. On the day you leave, let Dashan and Dahai act as the driver, and the driver will wait in front of you. Everyone gets into the car when they leave the alley." Wu Youwei said: "The car And the horses are leased, and when they are used up, they will be sent to a big cart shop for storage. I will ask them to pick them up later, and they will keep them there in the future. It is also convenient to use a car.
Originally wanted to rent, but Wu Youwei thought, the rented car is not clean, it is better to buy two cars, in the future when he separates, he will also buy a car and horses, why not buy it now, and enjoy it in advance.
"Yes, I'll do it now, little one!" Wu Xu also took 300 taels of silver from Xiaoxiao.
Nowadays, horses are not cheaper than farming cattle. Good horses are owned by imperial court cavalry, and bad horses are scattered among the people. Carriages are also rare. Most people use ox carts. Although they move slower, they are more common than horse-drawn carts.Only officials and eunuchs have carriages, single-horse carriages, and those with titles generally have double-wheeled carriages. The higher the title, the more horses pull the cart. It is said that when the emperor travels, six to eight white horses pull the imperial chariot.
Xiao Xiao was listening the whole time. After Wu Xu left, he jumped out and told everyone he could see about it. In fact, it had already spread outside, but the people in the small yard didn't dare I thought, after all, it was the masters who went to worship the Buddha, and it had nothing to do with the servants.
As soon as I heard that even they wanted to go, I immediately became excited!
Especially day lilies, how long has she not seen the young master?
Especially with the hot weather recently, the young master doesn't like to go out anymore, and she feels like she is even more useless with the young master.
Now that I have the opportunity to meet the young master, of course I am excited.
Fu Rong and Jasmine were also excited, but Fu Rong was a little more cautious, she approached Wu Youwei and said, "Do you want someone to guard the yard? Can't they all go out?"
Not to mention anything else, if someone came in and took something away, would they still have to count the warehouse when they came back?
"Yeah, that's right." Wu Youwei rubbed his chin and said, "If a woman comes in and takes off her clothes and lies on the young master's kang, the young master is covered in mouths and I can't tell."
Fu Rong blushed, the young master really dared to say anything recently.
"Let the four who are easy-going with their family stay, and you all go with them. The eight of them are in the yard, guarding the gate to prevent anyone from entering. I will give them a few days off afterward to go out for a stroll." Wu Youwei made some arrangements. Anyway, they are husband and wife, and they are servants. It is okay to go shopping. This is the advantage of getting married. The servants are not afraid of anything.
"Why don't you let them go back to see the children? They are in this mansion, and they also have time to rest, but they are in a hurry to and fro, I'm afraid it's not enough to be intimate with the children!" Fu Rong said with a smile: "If the little master can let them stay at home for a while Wouldn't it be nice to accompany the children and be filial to the elderly?"
"That's right!" Wu Youwei patted the table, "That's the decision. We'll give them seven days off and go back to see the elderly and children."
Sure enough, Furong went out as soon as she was blessed, and then there were a few laughs and women's voices in the yard. The girls and boys were busy going out to burn incense and worship Buddha, and the easy-going wives were looking forward to the holiday.
When Fifteen went to pay her respects again, Mrs. Wu announced that on the first day of July, she would go to Fahai Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Although the whole family knew about it a long time ago, they were still uneasy when it was not clarified. Now that the matter has been settled, everyone is very happy.
The whole family moved, which was a big deal.
Wu Jun went to Fahai Temple in person again, and said hello in advance, because he was going to bring the female relatives, so he had to arrange the inner room in advance.
It simply means that the Wu family is not big and the population is not large, and those who follow are those who are worthy of the master's face and are useful, so there is no need for the little girls to go.
Only in Wu Youwei's small courtyard, apart from the servants who are always easy-going and rude, even the little girls like Miao'er have a place to go.
The kitchen began to make vegetarian cakes, which were made before worshiping the Buddha, and should not be sloppy.
After half a month of busy work, everyone was not happy. On the first day of July, early in the morning, after the invitation, he was left for breakfast. Wu Youwei's food was okay, but it was a bit awkward.
After breakfast, the whole family got ready and started to go out.
Others brought four or five servants at most, but Mrs. Wu brought ten. As a result, when the people from Wu Youwei came out, everyone looked straight at him!
I used to hear that the little masters were going to take them with me, but everyone still didn't believe it, but now that they have all come out, is it true that they are going to take them with them?
They even saw the four little girls Miao Er and Lian Er dressed as if they were going out.
The old lady didn't bring the little girls in her yard with her, but the little master did, and all four of them!
Not only that, Hibiscus Jasmine Hemerocallis, none of them left behind, they all came out, and Xiaoxiao, Changfeng Changyu, Wu Xu led the way out.
Furong, Jasmine and Hemerocallis led four little girls chattering and chatting like they were on an outing, Xiaoxiao and Changfeng were bickering and laughing, Changyu and Xini, Wu Xu gave the three of them a headache.
The little master brought so many people to stand at the door.
"So many...all of them?" Wu Jun hesitated for a moment, and he only brought four maids along with him.
"Yeah, it's rare to go to the door to worship Buddha." Wu Youwei said intentionally: "People's hearts are good!"
Wu Jun choked, and it was hard to tell everyone to go back, just a few.
There are so many people at the moment, the whole family is watching, and Wu Sunshi also saw it. Seeing that the master was worried, he said to the housekeeper beside him: "Go and tell the master, since the young master brought it out, take it with you. Go on, don't blame anyone if you can't walk, who made the little master want to take them, our family doesn't have any extra cars."
Because of her youngest son, the housekeeper feared and hated Wu Youwei, and always wanted to find a chance to kill the young master's prestige, so she really went to spread the word.
"Since that's the case, then tell your people to be more obedient and don't run around." Wu Jun thought about it, the wife was right, so just follow, go to their house, offer incense and pray to Buddha, and there are a few coarse envoys Carrying the burden and walking along, the road is neither far nor near, but the little maids in the inner courtyard may not be able to walk there, usually they have never traveled that far.
Mrs. Wu also knew about this, and whispered angrily: "Let's go, let's see if you can go!"
