Chapter 44: One Table That Three Thousand Miles
Chapter 44: One table of three thousand miles
Laba Festival, also known as Laba Festival, Laba Festival, Laba Festival or Buddha's enlightenment day, was originally a celebrating the harvest in ancient times. Thanks to ancestors and gods (including door gods, govt gods, house gods, kitchen gods, and well gods). In addition to worshiping ancestors and gods, people also had to chase the epidemic. Later, with the introduction of Buddhism into the Central Plains, its influence became increasingly greater. In addition to worshiping ancestors and gods, most of the time was used to celebrate the enlightenment of Buddhas.
He told the maid to guard Xiaobai's son, Wei Chi called Xie Jiu, went back to the farm, respected the gods and worshiped the ancestors and carried out the epidemic one by one, and after that, he brought the Laba porridge that he had cooked early this morning and went to Qin Mansion.
Before the twelfth lunar month, it was not called the twelfth lunar month. In the twelfth lunar month, it was named the twelfth lunar month because of the lunar wax sacrifice to all gods. Many sacrificial activities were concentrated in the twelfth lunar month. By the way, Wei and Xie traveled through Xiaobai, and knew nothing about ancient etiquette from the beginning, and needed etiquette guidance. Now, it is more and more decent. Of course, some details are not very clear, but these small details will become clearer as they live in the Tang Dynasty.
When he arrived at Qin Mansion, he quickly contributed Laba porridge. Wei Chi asked someone to make two flavors, both sweet and salty, but he made more sweet. After all, few of them didn't like sweets as much as he did.
The sweet and delicious Laba porridge made Mr. Qin and his adopted mother-in-law praise Wei Chi again. Wei Chi was honest and seemed to be modest and not caring, but actually she was proud.
In a huge crowd, the women were riding horses and the men were dressed up, and they set out to the Dazhuangyan Temple where they worshipped Buddhas. Based on the principle of following the customs and following the trend, Wei Chi and Xie Jiu, two guys who never worship gods in modern times, followed them happily.
Xie Jiu was quite fed by the female family in the Qin Mansion. Although she didn't like to talk too much, there were many people who liked to get along with her. Today, she was pulled by her godmother to the same car with her.
After getting on the carriage, Xie Jiu helped his godmother sit down. Wei Chi has been thinking about the issue of shock absorption of the carriage for a long time. He is not a professional engineering subject, and he doesn't know much about steelmaking and can't make springs. In the end, there is no way to find a bamboo piece with good elasticity to replace it. After the experiment, it was not bad. Wei Chi immediately promoted it to his own carriage, and helped the Qin Mansion's carriage to be transformed like a treasure. Now, the women are not afraid of bumps when they go out.
"Si Si, come, come, and talk to your own things with your mother."
As soon as he got into the car, his godmother greeted Xie Jiu, and Xie Jiu responded. The godmother stared at Xie Jiu for a long time and asked, "Si Si, isn't there any movement yet?"
Xie Jiu didn't react for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he didn't understand what his godmother meant. He was a little confused: "Mom, what are you referring to?"
The godmother glanced at her, covered her mouth and smiled, "What else can I refer to, child."
Xie Jiu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not yet, mom, we don't have to hurry, just let it go."
Xie Jiu said lightly, and the old lady was very anxious, and she was ruthless: "What's the matter? There are three unfilial things, and there is no descendant. The only two of you in the Wei family are you. It can be said that only Silang is the only one who grows up and spreads his family. What is the responsibility of your wife? What is the husband who wants? It's just a husband. Children. Take advantage of your youth and give birth to a few more people, so that men will find excuses to go out to spend time and live in the future. If she comes back with a concubine in the future and she will give birth to you, it would be a big problem."
Xie Jiu felt a sense of laughter and crying, but the old lady also cared about her. Xie Jiu smiled and said calmly: "Mom, I know Silang. Don't worry, with our feelings and experiences, he will not treat me poorly."
The old lady said earnestly: "Silang's character, my mother also knows that you are still young and have a beautiful appearance. In addition, you two are in trouble again and have a deep relationship, but it is always good to have a child."
"Well, thank you for your concern. I have a lot of care in our province, but I can't even hurry up if I have a child. I can only let it go."
Xie Jiu smiled and comforted the old lady. As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady took out a talisman from her arms and whispered: "Give it, put it on! This is the talisman that my mother asked for you in the temple a few days ago. Wear it well, don't drop it."
Xie Jiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, took the amulet, hung around his neck, and thanked the old lady. It didn't matter if it was useful, the old man's intentions could not be disappointed, but he didn't know what Wei Chi would look like when he saw it. Xie Jiu imagined and couldn't help but smiled slightly.
Wei Chi was riding on a horse and was with Qin Meng and Qin Wei brothers. Later, on the way, he met Li Ji's mansion, Yuchi mansion, and Cheng's mansion. The old man and the old man were mixed up, and the young man and the young man were riding and playing.
Wei Chi's generation is a young man after all, and he doesn't have so many taboos or concerns about worshiping gods. Although he doesn't know how to talk loudly, he can make a few jokes and jokes.
While talking and laughing, I arrived at Dazhuangyan Temple. The carriages and horses were coming and going, and it turned out to be a busy scene. Wei Chi, the guy who maliciously guessed that Dazhuangyan Temple would probably earn enough money for a year in one day today, which was more than half a year he worked hard for half a year.
The four of them got off the carriage, and the older generation went in first. The young juniors followed him. Under the leadership of Master Zhike, they worshiped Buddha and worshiped him. The guards and dragons were mixed in the team and followed him.
After giving money for indulgence and oil, and after giving, I went to the side hall to enjoy the vegetarian dishes. There were already many people there, all of them, including ministers and nobles in the court. In addition to the familiar adults, Wei Chi was also in the crowd and saw a person whom he could never imagine - Cui Jie.
It seems that he came with the middle-aged man in the gorgeous clothes and elegant clothes in front of him. He also brought two men and one woman and three children next to him. Among the boys, one was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other two were younger, the boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, and the girl was even younger, about ten years old.
When the middle-aged man saw everyone coming in, he immediately stood up and walked towards this side with the people beside him, but the direction was from the Cheng Mansion. Wei Chi was stunned and pulled Qin Meng's sleeves and asked, "Second brother, who is that person? Are you a relative of Uncle Cheng's family?"
Qin Mengdao looked and said, "That is Cui In-tai, the eldest son of the second wife of Cui, Qinghe. Aunt Cheng is from Cui, a relative, come and see her."
Wei Chi was dumbfounded and walked around for a long time. He pawned the things and went to the relative's house at the corner. Now he pretended not to know Cui Jie, and he didn't know if it was too late.
Qin Meng noticed Wei Chi's strangeness and asked, "Old Fourth, what's wrong?"
Wei Chi smiled bitterly and said, "Second brother, my village, and the money for opening a clinic and restaurant were obtained by making things in their pawn shop. It's a bit embarrassing to meet it now."
Qin Meng was also dumbfounded and looked at Wei Chi. He stood in front of the two of them. Qin Wei, who had been listening quietly to the two of them, turned to look at Wei Chi and smiled gently, "Fourth brother, don't care, just face it calmly. In the past, the fourth brother suffered a great disaster and was forced by the times. It is not a shame to pawn the family's wealth. Now that the Wei Mansion has regained its glory, what can we not face? We have not stole or robbed, and there is nothing we can do to do."
"Well, thank you for your advice."
Qin Wei smiled gently and turned back again. The two brothers of the Qin family were really convinced. Wei Chi was gentle and calm, honest and kind. Although he was a little brave, he had the style of a elder brother and took good care of his younger brothers. Wei Chi was very caring. Qin Meng was generous and loyal, and was a good playmate. He was completely opposite to his elder brother. The two brothers, one literary and one martial, and Wei Chi, who was a half-baked guy who was not as good as martial, complemented each other and made Mr. Qin feel relieved and proud.
In the words of Mr. Qin, Cheng Zhijie, Li Ji and others when they were fighting, it was just that the child could be as good as Wei Chi, and he could make all the good things! At that time, Mr. Qin put his copper mace on the ground and shouted with courage, "Who else?" Wei Chi was very moved. Although the temperament of the world as if he was no less than me, it was acceptable to comfort himself and treat it as his adopted father's unique style.
Wei Chi was just thinking about it, and the old men called him over. Not only did he call him, but all the juniors passed by and went to recognize relatives. They bowed one by one. After the men worshiped the daughter, the servants were a little confused. Didn’t there be a small population in ancient times? Why are there so many relatives? Is it still possible for people to live?!
After crying silently, Wei Chi finally finished praying for a circle. When Wei Chi raised his head, he just met Cui Jie's smiling eyes and bowed to Wei Chi with a fist. Wei Chi smiled and returned the gift. However, as soon as he finished paying the gift, he grabbed Qin Meng and said, "Fourth brother, what kind of tribute do you and Xiao Jiezi do? He should salute you. You are a generation older than him. He should call you uncle."
When Wei Chi heard this, he felt a little complicated. Life is ups and downs too quickly, so he couldn't adapt. I wonder if Cui Jie has this feeling. When he has the opportunity, he can communicate. Last time he met someone who was dressed in a rags, he became an uncle. Wei Chi was very curious about Cui Jie's ideas.
"Wei Xiaosi, bring your wife here."
Wei Chi was sighing, when Cheng Zhijie's loud voice sounded, which scared Wei Chi. Xie Jiu, who was standing with his godmother next to him, was stunned and walked over.
The couple went over and saluteed first. Wei Chi looked at Cheng Zhijie with his eyes and asked, "Uncle Cheng, please call my nephew over here, what are the instructions? Even though we say, there is a martial arts master, Big Tiger, who punches the tiger in the South Mountain and sharks in the North Sea. When you need it, just borrow it, and my nephew has no objection."
The two tigers are now in the personal guard level. Wherever the Wei Xie and his wife went, the two brothers followed each other, but now they are outside and have not come in.
Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "You sloppy boy, are you such an unkind person to betray your subordinates for your sake? How could you compete with you for your guard? Come here, someone wants to meet you couple."
You are so unkind.
This is Wei Chi's voice, and the so-called voice cannot be said casually. The couple followed Cheng Zhijie, but went to see the eldest son of the second wife of Cui, and kidnapped a relative of 108,000 miles away. Xie Jiu was halfway up by Cheng Zhijie's wife. By the way, Cheng Zhijie asked Wei Chi to bring Xie Jiu over, and he was ordered by his wife. When Wei Chi understood, the servant sighed in his heart that it turned out that men in the world were all about the same virtue in front of his wife. Even if they were as brave as Cheng Zhijie, the opinions of Taizu must be heard.
Wei Chi went over and gave the tribute first. When the ceremony was over, when it was time to call someone, he was stunned. He turned to look at Cheng Zhijie and stuttered: "Uncle Cheng, what should I call this person?"
By the way, there are too many relatives around the corner, and Wei Chi really doesn't know what to call him. He calls him uncle, but he doesn't seem to be suitable. He calls him uncle, but he doesn't seem to be suitable. Therefore, this kind of relative who is a thousand miles apart sometimes has a headache.
Choi In-tae smiled and said, "It's okay, just follow Chumo and the others to call me uncle."
"My nephew has met Uncle Cui."
Wei Chi was very obedient and quickly threw his uncle over. He said that he could not call his wife Xiao Jiujiu in front of Cui In-tai in the future. If they misunderstand, the two of them agreed together, what would he do, right? If Xie Jiu, his family, took his anger... The orange alarm sign was hanging high, take care of his life and stay away from danger.
Cui In-tae smiled and said, "Silang is not a gift. I heard from Xiaojie that the set of crystal glass wine utensils collected in March was collected from you. I didn't know before, but now everyone has become relatives. I thought it would be better to ask you to come over and talk to me. The wine utensils..."
Wei Chi interrupted him and said, "Please forgive my nephew for being rude and interrupt my uncle. This matter was agreed at the beginning, and it was for death. The money, house deeds, and land deeds were now the foundation for the survival of my nephew's family. Please don't mention that set of wine utensils in the future. Although my nephew has no knowledge, I still know that I will give up this matter and ask my uncle to agree."
Of course, Cui In-tae made a refusal. Wei Chi quickly continued to do his best and advised him to accept it. Chinese people sometimes have to do such a false set, but in order to have a good relationship with each other in the future, even if they know it is false, they still have to go down step by step.
When eating vegetarian dishes, everyone was obviously not very interested. After a few bites, they just talked and did whatever they should do. No matter how old or young, they didn't seem to have a lot of appetite. Everyone secretly summarized and attributed the reason to Wei Chi, it was all because he had made the chefs of various provinces more skilled in cooking. Therefore, the past delicacies were as delicious as chewing wax. Wei Chi felt very innocent and wanted to whistle to the sky. Can he blame him? Can he? Can he? (Cycling ten thousand times)
Since I can't eat, let's find a topic to talk about. Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Empire, has never lacked gossip topics after dinner. What's more, the protagonist of the recently lively gossip topic is just present.
Mrs. Yuchi spoke first, with a little anxious expression, and asked with concern: "Silang, I heard that you and Taoist Master Li Chunfeng are working together to do an activity to verify the toxicity of the elixir, right?"
