Chapter 47

In Yongjia, cultivating the Tao is a common thing. Everyone in the whole area likes to practice, especially the upper class people especially love to practice. Five or six people out of ten have practiced before, and it is not ostentatious at all.

Cultivating Taoism is like going to the countryside in the 60s, or helping the poor in the new century. It is definitely a kind of qualification, and it will be a kind of seniority when chatting with colleagues in the future.

Sending Wan'er to a Taoist temple to practice for a period of time is a good way to avoid that bastard without going into a complete war with Dafang, so Zhang Tongzhi immediately agreed with his wife's idea: "Since you think so, then send her to the Taoist temple." Bar."

"This is exactly what I want to discuss with the master. What's the use of giving it away? Changqing Temple won't accept it!" Zhang Zhou said anxiously.

"Why don't you accept it?"

"I heard from Mrs. Jingguo's wife that Tao Daoyu from the Evergreen Temple came out of the palace. He practiced in Yongle Palace in his early years, and later went to the Evergreen Temple with several apprentices.

"I heard that she not only cultivates the Tao by herself, but also brings some official women to practice. These official women are either relatives of the emperor or the official family. Wan'er has no one to introduce her, but it is not easy to be her disciple."

"I've also heard that the Evergreen Temple not only teaches Taoism and enlightenment, but also teaches biography and history, articles and writings, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as women's morality, court etiquette, general affairs management, etc. All the women who have practiced there are familiar with it. Shi Tongjin, who is able to write articles again, has become a government official when he comes out."

Zhang Tongzhi pondered for a long while and said: "Since it's so good, then I have to send Wan'er away, but I don't know what Madam can do?"

"The concubine has even moved out with Mrs. Yasukuni, what else can I do?"

"You just rely on lip service to say that, how can people know the truth?"

"I am a five-rank pleasant person, can there be any lies in what I say?"

"Ma'am, I'm not talking about you, you take yourself too seriously. Since Tao Daoist came out of the palace, you are only a fifth-rank pleasant, who knows who you are?"

"Master!" Zhang Zhou, who was very angry at being stabbed in the back by his master, couldn't catch his breath for a long time, but couldn't think of any strong rebuttal, so he had to give up on himself: "Then what do you say? ?”

"In my opinion, why don't you ask Mrs. Yasukuni to write a letter to help you make peace?"

"Hey, this is fine. Mrs. Yasukuni's letter, she can't pretend she doesn't know."

"I think that's the way to do it. Tomorrow morning, you immediately write a letter and ask Dachang to send it to the Yasukuni Mansion, and ask for the recommendation of the Duke's wife."

"it is good."

"It's just that it takes ten days to go back and forth. I'll go back to Fucheng tomorrow, and I'll have to wait until the next Yuan Festival when I come back. I've already agreed with Gu Yiling to set up a dojo in Wenjia Village, and give a lecture on the cultivation of sweet potatoes along the way. Ma'am, you Do you want to go back with me? Or stay here?"

"Only ten days, I should wait here, so as not to have to guard against that bastard when I go back."

"Forget it, I'll talk to Gu Yiling tomorrow, and you and Wan'er will stay quiet for a few days."

After discussing with Zhang Tongzhi and his wife, they turned off the lights and rested.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Tongzhi packed his men and horses and prepared to set off. The county magistrates and his wife practiced this, and promised to treat Mrs. Zhang Zhou and Ms. Wan'er well after parting, and Master Tongzhi went back to Zhen'an Mansion with peace of mind.

Every day since then, the county magistrate's wife will take the initiative to gossip with Mrs. Zhang Zhou, and take a look at what is missing, so that she can make up for it.

At the same time, in the Changqing Temple in the south of Chengnan County, a young Taoist priest was banging on the door of the chamber non-stop.

"Brother, brother, are you up yet? The sun is shining on your butt!"

The young Taoist yelled for a long time but no one responded, so he said confidently: "Brother, if you don't have time to open the door, I'll just come in." After finishing speaking, he kicked open the door without waiting for the people in the room to respond.

A person in the room was lying on a high pillow, unable to sleep soundly.

The young Taoist stepped forward and shook, trying to shake others out of their dreams: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, it's time to do your homework."

"It's freezing cold, what homework are you doing?" The Taoist, who was soundly asleep, muttered and refused.

"Brother, you sleep or sleep every day. If this continues, when will we finish the task of going down the mountain?" the young Taoist said angrily.

For a long time, the Taoist hugged the quilt and curled up, without opening his eyes a bit, completely disapproving: "It can't be done."

"It's easy for you to say. If you can't complete the task, you won't get the order to leave. Without the order, how can you go home in this life!"

"What do monks do when they go home?" Taoist Laipi sat up slowly while talking, showing an unkempt face.

What kind of Taoist is this? If the younger brother is fresh and handsome, with a face like a crown of jade, and a tree facing the wind, then this brother with disheveled hair can only be said to be unkempt, sloppy, and oblivious to everyone.

The only thing that catches his eye is that he is disfigured: there is a scar at the corner of his left eye that stretches from the end of his eyebrows. If we analyze it only from the appearance, it will inevitably make people think of a rough fate, punishment of six relatives, hard work, and marriage. Unsmooth and other aspects of imagination.

The young Taoist burst into tears silently: It's fine if you don't want to go home, what's the matter with dragging me to the bottom.

Needless to say, the two brothers began to fight each other on a daily basis.

"Brother, let's not talk about the issue of going home, first of all we have to look like Taoist priests."

"My dear brother, are you going to teach me a lesson?"

"No, I don't, don't talk nonsense, I'm just worried that my brother sleeps soundly every day and his muscles and bones are strained." The younger brother hurriedly waved his hand to deny it three times, and then complained in his heart: Don't you just start a year earlier than me, what the hell? .

"Why do I feel that you are scolding me in your heart." The brother didn't believe it.

The younger brother has a righteous face: "Illusion, illusion, this is definitely your illusion!"

"Tell me, what exactly are you going to do?" The brother continued to lie in bed.

"Senior brother, we ate and drank for free in Changqingguan for three months, and the supervisor was very angry."

"We eat and drink for free based on our status and abilities, why should he be angry?"

"Having said that, but the supervisor's complexion is really ugly, we don't enjoy eating plain rice."

"I think it smells good."

Junior Brother: "o(>﹏<)o, Senior Brother, the Supervisory Academy has arranged for us to go to practice things in the next Lantern Festival."

"Don't go."

"I have promised."

"Junior brother, your wings are hardened, and you are starting to order your senior brother."

"I'm wronged, brother, I'm wronged so much, I just want us to live more comfortably in Changqing Temple so that we can continue to eat and drink for nothing."

"Besides, it's quite boring to stay here for so long, how about going out for a walk and relaxing?" The younger brother explained, and added inwardly: It's best to look for clues by the way.

"Junior brother, if you are bored, why don't you go and study with Master Tao in the backyard."

"Nonsense, am I that kind of person? Senior brother, if you slander me like this, I will definitely tell Master." The junior brother immediately blushed and spoke righteously.

"Okay, just go ahead and talk about it!" The senior brother sneered twice, expressing with his eyes: You are that kind of person.
