Chapter 835 Going Down the Mountain
As the sun was setting, everyone descended from Yelingdun Temple to go home.

Xiao Chong and others also finished playing polo and walked with Lin Wanwan.

A few members of the Qin family could not ride horses, they still rode in ox carts, and the rest either rode horses or donkeys, depending on their status.

Little Qingyu can now ride a pony decently, but just in case, Kunlun slave Ali will still lead the horse and walk beside her.

"Cousin, do those rescued women still have a way out?" Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong walked side by side. She had thought a lot about those human traffickers today, and she had something to ask.

Xiao Chong said lightly: "Cousin, it's really not easy for women in this world. Whether a person can live well after being rescued depends on his family, and it's hard to predict."

Even if it is as open as Datang, a woman who is abducted by human traffickers for a few days will have her reputation ruined.

In the Tang Dynasty, second marriages and even third marriages were not despised by others, but there were too many gossips about unexplained disappearances.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even modern times, when a girl encounters such a thing, she will also encounter gossip.

Lin Wanwan pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Chong: "Cousin, if those women are homeless after being rescued, you can help me bring them a message that they can come to my Lin family's embroidery workshop to try their work. As long as they are rescued Admission, I can provide board and lodging here."

Women from ordinary families in the Tang Dynasty are all female celebrities, the difference is only in the level of skill.

Going to work in Lin Wanwan's embroidery workshop does not mean that you will become a lowly citizen. It is similar to the nature of women weaving at home for money.

And Lin Wanwan's embroidery workshop is well-known in Xiaoxi Town, many women from good families want to enter, but there is no way.

At this moment, she proposed this plan on her own initiative, causing Xiao Chong to look sideways.

He tilted his head to look at Lin Wanwan, and smiled slightly: "Okay, my cousin has a heart."

Lin Wanwan smiled back and said nothing more.

There are many mountains in this area, and there are many people living here and there under the gate of Yelingdun Temple. It is a small village named Yeling Village.

But Yeling Village was not built on flat land. To be precise, it is the top plain of another hill.

We have to go downhill for a long time to reach the real foot of the mountain.

The people living in Yeling Village are basically farmers who depend on the temple for survival, as well as monks in the temple.

Of course, the monk is just a respectful title.There were not many monks who could deserve the title of "monk" in the Tang Dynasty. Most of the monks were called novice monks, sangha, monks and so on.

Don't think that monks must have all the four things, this is divided into regions and temples.Like the monks in Yelingdun, nine out of ten they all married wives and had children.

To them, "becoming a monk" is just a job to support themselves and their families, not to dedicate themselves to the Buddha.

Just like the later generations, in the Tang Dynasty, monks and nuns all held certificates to work, and they needed to obtain official certificates to become monks.

In order to obtain an official certificate, it will cost a lot of money.After getting the certificate, if you want to settle down and work in the temple, you must have a certificate issued by the temple that recognizes you as a disciple of the temple.

The same as the ultimatum, it also costs money, the latter is handed over to the official, and the former is handed over to the temple.

If you think that monks are the last resort for the desperate poor, you are wrong.

The desperate poor can only become refugees, savages, and beggars. It is wishful thinking to want to become monks in temples.

The Buddha saves a predestined person, how can you save someone without "Yuan"?

And once you get the certificate of becoming a monk, it is equivalent to being admitted to the establishment, and basically no one will choose to return to vulgarity.

It took so much money and energy to get a recognized identity, and you can travel around the world with this identity, who is willing to give up?

Ordinary people are bound to death by the household registration system. If they want to travel around the world, they have to find an official certificate.It all costs money and has a deadline.

If you don't have this experience, then you are a refugee, and no decent hostel dares to take you in. It is a lucky thing to be found out by the authorities and sent back to your place of origin.

So there are many monks who study Buddhism in the temple during the day, solve fortune-telling and fortune-telling for pilgrims, and go home at night with their wives and children warming up on the kang.

Lin Wanwan only found out about the monks in these temples when she paid respects to the Buddha in Daxingshan Temple in Chang'an last time.

At that time, she was bored, wandering around in the temple, accidentally entered a lottery reading room, and heard the old monk and the pilgrim chatting, talking about her son.

She interrupted in surprise at the time: "Son, do monks have sons?"

Then the old monk and the pilgrim looked at her and all laughed "haha". Although they didn't answer, it was better to answer.

During that period of living in the temple, Lin Wanwan not only discovered that monks could marry wives and have children, and could become officials in the court, and even the temple was still lending usury.

She lost her awe of the so-called Buddhist holy land.

Perhaps there are eminent monks, but there are also many rotten trees, all of whom are nothing more than ordinary people.

Like today when she came to Yelingdun, the incense was on, but the donation of sesame oil was not much, and it was much more stingy than other noble ladies, and it didn't feel worth it.

She just regarded this place as a tourist attraction, and came to the temple fair with Qin and the others to join in the fun.

Why is Datang's leisure and entertainment venues concentrated in Buddhism and Taoism? She has no other places to go.

At this time, after passing through the village road of Yeling Village, the group of people came to a valley where many people could be seen busy digging.

Lin Wanwan asked curiously, "What are they doing?"

Xiao Chong said: "serve."

"Oh, it's time for another year of service." Lin Wanwan sighed and asked, "Then what are you doing in this valley? Could it be building a reservoir?"

Xiao Chong praised: "Cousin Bingxue is smart, and she guessed right. This place is close to the sea, and fresh water is scarce. After a certain survey, it was found that this valley is very suitable for building a reservoir, so he took action this year, hoping to solve the problem of water shortage in Wanghai Town. "

Lin Wanwan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Since the location is at the foot of the Yelingdun Temple, the Buddha who is compassionate must have sponsored a lot, right?"

Xiao Chong heard the words and said happily: "The one who knows me is my cousin."

Looking at his handsome appearance, Lin Wanwan blushed slightly, she couldn't help pulling the rein secretly, and slowly fell behind him.

Xiao Chong seemed to be unaware of this, and without anyone walking in parallel, he hurried on in silence.

The two teams parted ways at the foot of the mountain, a group of people walked to Linjiazhuang, and a group of people hurried back to Xiaoxi Town.

Hongyan wondered in his heart: Xiao Ming's mansion hasn't come to our Lin's mansion for dinner for a long time, since he got engaged, why does he seem to be estranged from his wife?

Hongyan was not the only one who was surprised, but anyone who served Lin Wanwan early on, who didn't know that Xiao Chong came to eat every day.

Now that they are engaged, but they have less contacts, it is also a strange thing.
