Travel to ancient times and make a fortune
Chapter 202 Bitter Tea
When Ouyang Yiyun heard this, he didn't feel embarrassed. He just squeezed the soft pancreas in his palm and said softly: "I'm afraid that when I'm not with you, someone else will get there first. I'm also afraid that you, girl, won't like me like this."
When Ouyang Yiyun said he didn't like her, he didn't mean that he was of low status and Li Xiao would not like him. On the contrary, he was afraid that his status was too high and Li Xiao would not like him!
Fortunately, Li Xiao didn't know Ouyang Yiyun's identity at the beginning.When I later found out my identity, some of my emotions had already changed subtly.
If Li Xiao knew the identity of Ouyang Yiyun, a member of the royal family from the beginning, the two of them might not get together!
Li Xiao obviously thought of this as well. He glanced at Ouyang Yiyun and hummed: "I can't tell, you planned to hide your identity from the beginning, and you said you didn't hide it on purpose!"
When Ouyang Yiyun heard this, he was also amused. This girl started to worry about this matter again.
In fact, he did not hide it at first. After all, Ouyang's surname is the surname of the Dali royal family. This is not a secret.
It's just that he ignored at the time that Li Xiao's family was just the most ordinary people living in the southern border.
Most people in this era only care about food and clothing. How many people care about the surname of the royal family?
Later he found out, so he thought about his identity, but it didn't matter, so he didn't mention it specifically.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't hide it on purpose, well, really.
Li Xiao didn't speak when she saw anyone, she just looked at herself and smiled softly. If she said anything else, she would seem a little unreasonable.
After glaring at Ouyang Yiyun, Li Xiao stopped continuing the topic.
The two of them were going out to play, so they were not in a hurry to go up. They walked while looking at the scenery. They were warm and not tired at all.
After a long time, we finally arrived at Mingjue Temple halfway up the mountain.
At the gate, there happened to be a little novice monk cleaning the fallen leaves. When he saw the visitor, he said a Buddha's name, then lowered his head and continued his work.
"In Mingjue Temple, most of the noble families come to offer incense. The weather is getting colder now, and it's not a special day, so there shouldn't be many people."
Ouyang Yiyun was talking to Li Xiao as he walked.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the main hall.
Sure enough, as Ouyang Yiyun said, there were not many people. To be precise, the only pilgrims at this time were the two of them.
The two of them burned incense together, worshiped the Buddha, fulfilled their vows, and each added some money for sesame oil.
After everything happened, Ouyang Yiyun had a sudden idea and took Li Xiao with him to ask for a fortune.
What Ouyang Yiyun wanted was marriage, of course, and as expected, he signed a lottery, saying that it was a match made in heaven, which made Ouyang Yiyun as happy as a baby that hadn't grown up yet.
Li Xiao, on the other hand, didn't know where his mind wandered when he shook the lottery tube, but the signature that came out surprised even the master who interpreted the lottery.
"The donor's lot cannot be interpreted by a poor monk. He still needs his great uncle to come forward." The monk who interpreted the lot said.
When Li Xiao heard this, she wanted to say that she was puzzled. After all, she didn't believe in Buddhism either.But just as he was about to leave his mouth, he was interrupted by a novice monk.
"Amitabha, this benefactor, Master Minghui, and my great-uncle would like to invite you to have a talk in the meditation room."
The person who came was talking to Li Xiao, and it was obvious that the "donor" was referring to her.It was precisely because of this that Li Xiao was surprised. After a while, he pointed at his nose and asked: "This master, are you talking about me?"
Hearing this, the novice nodded in agreement.
Li Xiao looked at the monk, then at Ouyang Yiyun, and finally at the signature in his hand.
"Go, Master Minghui doesn't usually meet people easily." Ouyang Yiyun looked at Li Xiao and said softly.
Li Xiao actually didn't care. After hearing what Ouyang Yiyun said, he nodded and followed the novice.
At this time, in an ordinary Zen room, there sat a wrinkled but solemn old monk. He was wearing a simple monk's robe, holding a faded scripture in his hand, sitting solemnly, Like a living Buddha.
This was how Li Xiao felt when she saw Master Minghui for the first time.
"Amitabha, little donor, please sit down." Master Minghui's voice was calm and gentle, like an immortal.When he raised his eyes, his eyes showed compassion and wisdom.
Li Xiao clasped his palms together and saluted Master Minghui before taking his seat as instructed.
For a moment, no one spoke in the Zen room, and it was so quiet that the only sound was the sound of tea flowing into the cup.
"Little donor, please have some tea." Master Minghui handed the tea cup to Li Xiao. Li Xiao thanked him and took it, then took a sip.
"Hiss~" It's so painful!Li Xiao even frowned, but in the end he endured the pain and swallowed the tea.
"Does the donor feel suffering?" Master Minghui's voice is still very calm, making people feel calmer unconsciously when listening to it.
"Well, it's very painful." Li Xiao told the truth, and if she wasn't afraid of being rude, she would have vomited it out.
"Donor, why don't you taste it carefully and taste it again?"
Li Xiao’s heart: Can I not want it?
In fact, Li Xiao unconsciously picked up the tea cup and took another small sip.
"Hey," Li Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at Master Minghui, "it doesn't seem so painful anymore."
Then without the master saying anything, he took another small sip and said: "There is still a sweetness." Master Minghui heard this and smiled: "This tea is like the two lives of the benefactor. After suffering, there is sweetness. "
"It's just that if you don't taste it carefully, even if there is sweetness in the bitterness, what the donor will taste will only be a mouthful of bitterness."
Li Xiao was frightened when she heard Master Minghui's words "two lives in one life". She stared at Master Minghui warily, as if she was afraid that the master would suddenly take action and treat her as a monster.
When Master Minghui saw this, he laughed out loud: "Donor, don't panic."
Li Xiao thought to himself, can he not panic?But he could only laugh.
"Since the little donor is here, there is cause and effect. This is the blessing of the little donor. Outsiders cannot forcefully change anything."
When Li Xiao heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed. Master Minghui looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
"The blessings of the little benefactor are far more than this. The poor monk only hopes that the little benefactor will remember today's tea no matter what he faces in the future."
After saying this, Master Minghui closed his eyes and knocked on the wooden fish beside him.
The novice monk waiting outside heard the sound of wooden fish, entered the room softly, and invited Li Xiao out.
As Li Xiao walked back, she thought about Master Minghui's words and felt that she didn't quite understand them.
"Have you finished chatting with the master?" In a daze, Li Xiao had followed the novice monk back to the place where he separated from Ouyang Yiyun.
Ouyang Yiyun's sudden voice made Li Xiao come back to his senses from the confusion along the way.
He looked at Ouyang Yiyun somewhat blankly, and after a moment, he said softly "Yeah".
The novice monk had left, and now there were only two people, Li Xiao.
"Should we continue walking around or go back?" Li Xiao said.
Ouyang Yiyun wanted to continue walking, after all, it was rare to come out together.But seeing that Li Xiao seemed to have something on his mind, he changed the subject and said "go back."
It's still the way we came, but Li Xiao's mood is a little different at this time.It wasn't until halfway through that Fang stopped and looked into the distance, as if he had figured something out.
"Jinyu, if we have the chance, let's travel together in the great rivers and mountains of Dali!"
When Ouyang Yiyun heard this, he looked sideways at the people around him. Just the word "good" was enough to express his attitude: If you have the intention, what if I accompany you to travel all over this great river and mountains!
On the carriage ride back, the two of them chatted wordlessly, but they had a tacit understanding and neither mentioned Master Minghui.
After Ouyang Yiyun sent Li Xiao home, he returned to the palace.
In the next period of time, both of them began to be busy on their own, only occasionally taking time to see each other and exchange a few words.
And asking Liuliu to send messages every day has become one of the joys of the two young people in love.
It's pitiful for Liuliu, who finally became the leader, but still has to fly around every day as a "passenger pigeon".
Li Xiao's down jackets started to be sold at Jinxiu Pavilion under the name of Ouyang Yiyun on the tenth day of November.
The brothers settled the scores, and naturally they signed an agreement to cooperate this time.
Because people from the Wangfu and other provinces helped "advertise" in advance, all the goods in stock were sold out in just five days as soon as the down jacket came on the market.
Afterwards, Jinxiu Pavilion only accepted reservations for its down jackets. Even in the palace, many masters asked the palace people to come out and make reservations.
Duck and goose feathers are still being collected, and the inventory is still sufficient.
Therefore, in addition to the down jackets that were ordered, Li Xiao, with the help of Ouyang Yiyun, found two embroiderers with first-class embroidery skills and began to produce down jackets.
This is a more time-consuming and labor-intensive matter, and it was the first time I came into contact with down jackets. The two embroiderers only completed two adult down jackets in one month. Of course, they were the kind that not only kept warm, but also had exquisite embroidery skills. Embroidered jacket.
Throughout November and December, the Li family made a lot of money from down jackets and "small vegetable farms".
On December [-]th, Li Xiao finally had some free time, and got together with Ouyang Yiyun, who had also just finished his busy work, and spent two days together.
December 23, the New Year.Everyone started to get busy with various New Year's Eve matters again.
Every household began to busy giving and receiving gifts, and the Li family was no exception.
The Li family received much more annual gifts this year than last year, and Li Gang was extremely busy with this.
Li Dashan and his wife never paid attention to these matters. Just like last year, they still left these matters to Li Qingsong and Li Xiao.
It's not that she doesn't want to let Min Shulan take care of things, the main thing is that Min Shulan is pregnant and is her first child, so she will always be extra careful.
Li Xiao didn't care, after all, there weren't many things that she needed to worry about. Li Gang had basically dealt with them, and she only needed to make a decision with her eldest brother.
On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Xiao personally came to deliver a New Year's gift to Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. By the way, he also brought the two specially prepared embroidered down jackets.
When Li Xiao left, it was naturally given by Ouyang Yiyun, and he also brought two or three times the return gift. (End of chapter)
When Ouyang Yiyun said he didn't like her, he didn't mean that he was of low status and Li Xiao would not like him. On the contrary, he was afraid that his status was too high and Li Xiao would not like him!
