Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 1158 Dragon and Phoenix (1)
Li Moxuan is full of travel and dust, and does not damage his handsome appearance. Some time ago, his parents were talking about the marriage of several children in the family, and they also wanted to find him a good wife. Liu said that this would not be in vain when Li died entrusted.

"By the way, little sister, this is a wedding gift for you."

Li Moxuan spent very little on the way, mainly for traveling. He stayed in the northwest for a while, where there was a long-term water shortage, and people's lives were very difficult, but their ancestors were there, and few people left their hometowns.

The congratulatory gift was bought in the northwest. It was a pair of blood jade handed down from the ancestors in exchange for a pair of blood jade handed down by a villager in order to buy medicinal materials for a baby with a high fever. The two pieces were raw stones and had not been polished. , I heard that it is best to carve it into a mandarin duck or a dragon and a phoenix. The husband and wife drip blood into each other's jade, which means a long time, a lifetime, and wearing it for a long time, the jade pendant has aura.

"Is this the best blood jade?"

Qingli took it over, this is the best blood jade.There is a book describing jade articles in the space. The top-quality blood jade is extremely rare. It can be seen that the ancestors of the villager must have been prominent. Otherwise, how could it be such a precious thing, but most people don’t recognize it, because there are bloodshots in it. It was sold as inferior jade.

"I just remembered seeing this legend mentioned in a book."

If it's the top grade blood jade, then it's earned. If it's not, it doesn't matter. Li Moxuan feels that his little sister doesn't care about it. As long as it is sent by him and represents his heart, she will gladly accept it. If he becomes prosperous in the future, in the future Make up for more valuable gifts.

In a blink of an eye, it is July [-]th, which is the ghost festival in folklore.

Qingli got up early, put on a relatively simple dress, and a hosta was stuck in her curled up black hair. It looked cool, and in the scorching summer, too complicated dress was a bit cumbersome. After walking a few steps, she felt sweaty. The beads flowed non-stop.

In recent days, the weather in Pingyang City has been relatively normal. Sometimes it is sunny and sometimes it is raining. It is the busy season of farming. Both the He tribe in Mojia Village and the tenants at home have begun to get busy. They stay in the fields every day and dare not be careless. Everyone is praying for the surprise brought by the new grain.

Due to the high temperature and drought in Pingyang some time ago, the crops in the field suffered, followed by chicken plague and the prevalence of infectious diseases, which had a great impact on the lives of the people. It was hard to find a festival to pay homage to the ancestors, even if the family was poor. The people who jingled would also save food and clothing to prepare a few small dishes and drinks to worship their ancestors, also to pray for blessings and obtain protection.

A Taoist temple on the outskirts of Pingyang City is called Yulong Temple, which is the largest Taoist temple in the entire Northland.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't eat in the morning. According to Wen's opinion, since today is a blessing, they should arrive early. In addition, they fasted for three days and mainly ate vegetarian food every day.Qingli responded positively, complaining secretly in her heart, she would not like meat, if she was a vegetarian for three days, her eyes would glow blue when she saw meat.

Hurry up and hurry up, and finally arrived at the Taoist temple at dawn. At this moment, there are people coming and going at the door, all dressed neatly, with dignified and solemn expressions.

Immediately after Qingli's carriage entered the door, a little Taoist boy came to greet him, and talked about some Buddhist rituals that Taoist temples can do on weekdays, such as repenting and praying for blessings, and releasing lives. Ze's children and grandchildren, happy life, happiness, peace and auspiciousness, she thought, this is just people's good wishes.

The Jade Dragon Temple is different from the Buddhist Jade Pagoda Temple. After entering the gate, there are gorgeous temples all around, large and small, which are extremely magnificent. , the scenery is elegant, surrounded by a large number of inscriptions, which depict the patterns of Taoism in detail, such as Ganoderma lucidum, cranes, and Bagua pictures. It is the first time for Qingli to come to such a place, so it is inevitable to look carefully.

"Xiao Li, let's add 100 taels of sesame oil."

There is a big merit box in front of a main hall, some people pass by here, they will put in some, ordinary people will give ten copper coins, ladies and wives of rich families all put in their purses, Qingli She had no money on her, so she nodded in obedience to Wen Shi, and gave Nanny Yu a wink.

After adding the sesame oil money, a group of Taoist priests wearing red silk and satin gowns came out from the front hall. There are also people on the side beating gongs and drums.

Qingli was an outsider, she watched with cold eyes, she couldn't understand the chanting words of these Taoist priests, and she couldn't understand the meaning of each movement.The people around were all waiting earnestly, no one chatted in whispers.

A cumbersome ceremony, including chanting sutras and formulating formulas, lasted for nearly two hours, and then everyone knelt down to pray for blessings at the altar in the middle. Sweat dripped down her sides, and now she wished she could go back to the carriage to rest.

After finally finishing the ceremony, the rest of the people went to worship in various temples. The Taoist temple provided a vegetarian meal for those who raised a lot of sesame oil and money. In fact, it was just a few snacks, and the taste was not bad. Qingli liked one of them, the peanut cake. The outside is puff pastry, and the inside is stuffed with sesame, peanut and white sugar. She is so hungry that her chest sticks to her back, so it tastes very sweet.

Wen's appetite is good, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ate a lot of snacks. Seeing that Qingli likes to eat peanut cakes, Wen's said with a loving smile, "Xiaoli, although this is my first time in Pingyang, this Yulong Temple is very interesting. Fame, the peanut cake is the best in Suzhai."

"It's really delicious, soft and delicious."

Qingli ate several pieces in a row, and then took the hot tea handed over by Xiancao, filling her half full.It was noon now, the sun was shining brightly, neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law wanted to go out, so Xiao Daotong asked Xiao Daotong to find a room for him to rest.

"You can take some back with you when you leave."

The tea and fruits in Yulong Temple are not for takeaway, and can only be exchanged for sesame oil and silver. Qingli thinks this is the same thing, and the left and right cannot be separated from the silver.

Before leaving, Qingli donated another part of the money for a few pieces of peanut cakes. In fact, she didn’t really believe in superseding and praying for blessings, but so many innocent soldiers died in wars, and she hoped to do something for them. It is a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Li Moxuan went back to Mojia Village yesterday. Qingli knew that he was in a hurry to go back to his mother's grave, so she didn't ask him to stay. Before Li Moxuan left, Qingli asked him to help bring some gifts for the family, and told her that she was in Pingyang City everything is fine.

Wen's family is a kind person. He followed the Romans in the north, and he was not picky about food and clothing. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while every day, and lived a peaceful and warm life.
