The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

(Thanks to book friend 20230203223106051 for the monthly ticket~)

Li Sanniang got up really early on her last day at home. Just after the fifth watch, Li Sanniang hugged the dewdrop cocoon under the quilt for a long time before getting up.

As agreed last night, Sister-in-law Li was left to take care of the children at home, while the rest of the Li family went to Xuandu Temple with Brother Li.

The second brother Li is a very relaxed person. When he went to knock on the door outside the house where the Guo brothers lived and called for help, he could not see the angry and angry person he was arguing with the Guo brothers in the main hall of the Li family yesterday. look.

To be honest, Li Sanniang is not as good as Brother Li in this aspect.

Of course, Li Sanniang can also call people, but it is impossible to be like Brother Li, who can't show any anger on her face and not show off her face at all.

Brother Li's arrangements were very thorough. In addition to the carriage that was originally used by Li Sanniang on duty, he also called two more carriages outside.

From Li's father and mother, to Brother Li's family of four, including the second brother Li and Li Sanniang, Qiuxiang and Lao Shi who followed Li Sanniang, and the Guo brothers, a group of more than ten people sat in three carriages and even had breakfast. If he didn't eat, he went to Fangmen.

There are a lot of people in Xuandu Temple at any time, so in order to catch up with the agreed time, the Li family went out early.

Mother Li and Sister-in-law Li, who were riding in the same carriage as Li Sanniang, didn't look very good-looking. As soon as Li Sanniang saw the black and blue under their eyes, she knew that they must not have slept well last night.

"Here, grandma and sister-in-law, please take one."

Mother Li looked at the candy in front of her and looked at Li Sanniang. Although she was not very hungry, she still reached out and twisted a piece of candy out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li took a candy and ate it. Li Sanniang then put her candy bag in front of Qiuxiang. Qiuxiang had been following Li Sanniang for a long time and had long been close to Li Sanniang.

Qiuxiang didn't hesitate, she took two pills herself, one of which she lifted up the car curtain and gave to Lao Shi who was sitting on the shaft of the car, and one of which she put directly into her mouth.

Li Sanniang also had one in her mouth. She felt the sweetness in her mouth and felt much better when she got up early.

"Why are you thinking about this?
The decision made by the elder brother will not be changed easily.

Besides, since the eldest brother did this, he must have a reason. Since the eldest brother did this, he must think this is the most appropriate way.

Auntie really doesn’t have to worry, the eldest brother is already thirty years old and his head has grown up, so they can do it. "

"Oh, I know, I know.

Only in my heart, I felt something was wrong. "

Sister-in-law Li understood Mother Li's mood. She reached out and held Mother Li's hand, saying nothing.

Mother Li was very satisfied with Sister-in-law Li. She held Sister-in-law Li's hand with her backhand and said, "Look at me, I am very worried as a mother-in-law, let alone you as a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law.

Mei Niang, listen to Sanniang, let’s stop thinking about it. The matter has already reached this point. It’s useless to think about it any more. "

Along the way, Li Sanniang and the dozen of them all had different moods. The carriage took a long time and finally arrived in front of the Xuandu Temple Gate more than an hour later.

In fact, it was a coincidence that he could immediately make an appointment with the Taoist priest from Xuandu Temple.

Because the letter from the Li family that Li Dalang sent back mentioned that he met Sun Hongniang and the Guo family in the border town, who came to ask for marriage, at that time, Brother Li mentioned that he would go to the Taoist temple to light a candle for Sun Datou to die. The lights are on.

As for why there were no lights on in the past?
The first reason is naturally because the Li family was financially well off in the past. After all, it is not a small expense to support four children studying in the academy.

In addition, among the Li family, except for Li's mother, Li's father, Li's eldest brother, Li's second brother, and even Li Sanniang don't really believe in these things. Li's father has never lighted a lamp for his parents, so how can he think of it? Can you light a lamp for Sun Datou?
After elder brother Li told the second brother Li about this matter, the second brother Li said directly: "I must light the lamp for death, but if I even light the lamp for death, it would be better to hold a ritual for Uncle Sun's family. .

In this way, he can also tell the uncle of the Sun family that his children have found each other. From now on, the eldest brother will have another family in this world. "After listening to Brother Li's suggestion, Brother Li asked Sister-in-law Li for money and asked Brother Li to help him go to Xuandu to watch the ceremony and contact the Taoist priest.

In this way, through a series of coincidences, Brother Li and the others were now standing on the street where Xuandu Temple was located.

Everyone entered the temple together, took the three sticks of incense handed over by the little Taoist boy one by one, lit the incense on the incense burner placed in the wide yard in front of the main hall, and went forward to worship one by one in order.

Because he had made an agreement with the Taoist priest in charge of the Taoist temple in advance, Brother Li stepped forward to say a few words to the little Taoist boy. After a while, a young Taoist priest came over.

Everyone followed the young Taoist priest and turned two corners in the Taoist temple before being led into a main hall.

"Believers, sit down for a moment, the hour has not yet come.

Two quarters of an hour later, Taoist Master Xuancheng will lead people to open an altar for believers to perform rituals. "

After the young Taoist priest left, Li Sanniang specifically asked Brother Li about the details of this practice.

"This is to summon the souls of the dead. The Taoist priest opened an altar to summon the soul of the uncle of the Sun family for the eldest brother. After the eldest brother came forward to inform him, the Taoist priest recited sutras and blessed the uncle of the Sun family for his death."

Li Sanniang nodded. In this pure Taoist temple, she was too embarrassed to ask: "It has been 30 years. If there really is an underworld or something, then the uncle of the Sun family should have drank Meng Po soup and been reincarnated." .

Where else can I be called in to hear these things? "

Therefore, this person who has undergone nine years of compulsory education is a true materialist. Even if Li Sanniang has experienced time travel, she is still a complete materialist.

However, most of the things that the living do for the deceased are because the living want to have peace of mind themselves, and even more so to show others.

Just like Brother Li's current situation, such a ritual is indeed needed to prove to the Guo brothers or to shut the mouths of Sun Hongniang and Guo Tuanlian, who are behind the Guo brothers.

Li Sanniang actually wanted to ask how much money was spent on such a ritual?
But she really didn't have the nerve to ask, she was just curious, but she knew that this was really not the time to ask this question.

Not long after everyone in the Li family sat down, two Taoist boys came with teapots and cups to serve tea to everyone.

Li Sanniang took the tea bowl and drank sip after sip. She looked at the stinky faces of the two Guo brothers sitting opposite, and only two words came out of her heart: "You deserve it."

It was just as the young Taoist priest said. In about two quarters of an hour, the young Taoist priest came to invite everyone in the Li family to go to the small square in front of the side hall.

When we arrived at the place, it was really a solemn atmosphere.

Taoist priest Xuancheng, who was wearing a green Taoist robe and a beard, stood in front of the long table set up in the courtyard. Brother Li followed the instructions of the young Taoist priest and took the wooden box that he had carefully carried from Li Dalang's hand, and took out the sunglasses. The spiritual position of Big Head.

After Brother Li respectfully placed Sun Datou's spiritual tablet in the middle of the long table, he saw Taoist Master Xuancheng holding a fly whisk standing in front of the tablet and reciting sutras.

Baozi, who has been following articles and readings, may still remember that I bought a dragon fruit-colored woolen hat last year. Yes, I bought another dragon fruit-colored hat this year!
Maybe it’s because my head is too big, and it doesn’t feel as loose as the model’s smaller head.

But I am still very satisfied. This rose red color is always eye-catching, and I am the one who stands out in the crowd!
