Chapter 90

There is another way of praying for Baigan, that is, whatever is lacking in the five elements of the child's innate, he will worship to make up for it.The child's physique is not good, and it is easy to collide with those gods, so he has to worship the one that is compatible with it to counteract it.Therefore, there are people who worship trees, stones, wells and so on.Of course, there are still many people who worship others as their bosses.

Finally, there is another kind, according to the old man, called bumping worship, but this kind of worship is quite rare.

I remember an old man in the village said that once, he wanted to cross a bridge, but just as he walked across, a woman with a child on her back dragged him and refused to let him go, saying that he should be the boss of the child.The old man asked why?It turned out that the woman's child also often fell ill. Later, she asked a fortune teller to ask her to wait on the bridge on a certain day and time, and let the child worship the first person to cross the bridge.But most of those who go against other people's wishes will not succeed.

After a detailed analysis, there are only a few reasons for Baigan: one is, as mentioned above, to bless the child's safe, smooth, and healthy growth.This can be seen from Baoye's title; the second is to recognize one more relative, and when the field is not busy, there are many places where you visit, and you can help each other when you encounter difficulties; and That is, the relationship between the two adults is good, and the form of marriage makes it more stable.

Of course, there are also people who want to find a family to live a good life, so that they can get some things to live with.That's why there is a saying in the countryside that "being a son and a daughter is a show, don't go if you don't have enough money."As the saying goes, holding a son is half the reward, and doing it to a son is only a matter of sight.

Generally, dry relatives seldom contact each other except for visiting Gan Lao's house during the holidays.Moreover, the godson does not bear the obligation to provide for the elderly.No wonder there is such a statement.

In fact, this kind of phenomenon can’t be blamed on people. In the era of lack of clothing and food, in order for their children to have a good future, they didn’t think about it.It is also in response to the old saying that people are poor and short-spirited, and horses are thin and long-haired, there is no way.

As for why Lao Jiang asked Jiang Liu and Dougen to worship the emperor as gangsters?It's really not about coveting the emperor.If we want to talk about this matter, we have to start from the emperor's home.

It has been more than 20 years since I said this. The emperor and his wife had a boy named Xiaolong at that time.When the little guy was born, he was all over the place, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he was so chubby that he was cute.

The emperor's daughter-in-law is a bannerman, and if one looks at the family tree of her ancestors, it is said that she is still a princess.It's just that in that era of war and chaos, the belly could not be fed enough, so it lost the nobility of Ge Ge, and she had a bad body since she was a child.Even after getting married, she still looked very weak. When Xiaolong was born, her already weak body suffered such a toss, which made the situation worse.

At that time, the emperor found an old Chinese doctor in order to take care of his daughter-in-law. When taking medicine, he put a piece of musk.

This musk is a kind of Chinese medicinal material, and its source is the dry secretion in the mature male sachets of musk musk deer, such as forest musk deer, horse musk deer or musk deer.Also known as: Dangmenzi, navel incense, musk navel incense, four-flavored smell, smelly seed, wax seed, fragrant navel seed.

The efficacy of musk is recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Famous Doctors", and "Compendium of Materia Medica".Its efficacy is mainly to clear the orifices, open the meridians, penetrate the muscles and bones, relieve alcohol poisoning, eliminate food accumulation of melons and fruits, and treat stroke, middle-qi, middle-evil, phlegm, and accumulation syndrome.It has been recommended as top grade since ancient times, which shows that it is extraordinary.

Although musk has so many medicinal effects, you must be cautious when using it, because musk also has a side effect, which is that it can make people infertile.It is said that prostitutes in ancient times used this to prevent pregnancy. There is also a folk saying that if you eat for one money, you will be guaranteed for one year, and if you eat for one or two, you will not be supported.

The emperor also decided to use this medicine for the health of his wife.Only in this way, the emperor's daughter-in-law would be unable to have children.

As for the emperor himself, he can see it, there is only one child, as long as the daughter-in-law is in good health, it is better than anything else.It is precisely because they know that they will not be able to have any more children in the future, so the couple treat Xiaolong as if they were eyeballs.

But what no one expected was that Xiaolong got measles when he was seven years old.Zhang Huang Shangguang went to Inner Mongolia to get medicine, and ran back and forth more than a dozen times, but he still didn't pick it up, and the child was gone.

The sweetheart is gone, can the couple not be in a hurry?The emperor is a gentleman, but it is better.His daughter-in-law couldn't bear such a blow, and almost went crazy.Afterwards, everyone in the village also persuaded them, and as time went by, the emperor's wife also adjusted herself, and then she got better little by little. Even so, as long as the day of the child's death came every year, the emperor's wife would still secretly wipe away her tears Son.

During dinner today, Lao Jiang only heard Han Xiazi talk about the emperor.After listening to it, Lao Jiang felt very uncomfortable. You said, why is God so hard-nosed? Zhang Huang is such a good person, how could he have such a fate?What a shock it is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.Anyway, I can't stand this matter for myself.Thinking of this, Lao Jiang decided to recognize the two children Jiang Liu and Dougen as godsons to the emperor.

Lao Jiang, after announcing the matter in front of everyone, didn't care whether the emperor agreed or not, he dragged the two boys to the emperor, one in each hand, pointed to the ground, and said, "Liuzi, Dou!" Gen, both of you kneel down, kowtow to you Gan Lao, call Gan Lao."

To say that in Jiang Liu's heart, he had already put the emperor and his master in the same position, and he was naturally 120 willing to Lao Jiang's practice of adding more relatives.As for Dougen, there is nothing to say. The traditional concept of being a teacher for a day and being a father for life is deeply rooted in his bones.

So after hearing Lao Jiang's words, the two little brothers quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.He raised his head and shouted in unison: "Damn."

At this time, His Majesty Zhang, after dinner, was sitting on the kang and hadn't got off the ground yet.Hearing Lao Jiang say this at first, I thought he was just talking casually and jokingly, and the emperor still laughed and joked along with him.

But seeing Lao Jiang dragging the two children to kowtow to him, he knew that Lao Jiang was coming for real.He hurriedly said that this was impossible, and hurriedly got down to the ground to help the two children while talking.But in the time from the inside of the kang to the edge of the kang, the two little brothers in the ground have already kowtowed and are now calling themselves gangsters.

The emperor's daughter-in-law was standing on the ground all the time, seeing that the head of the family hadn't come and got off the ground, she hurried over to help the two children.Unexpectedly, Lao Jiang grabbed his arm and said, "Sister-in-law, don't drag them, let them kneel. I have to say a few words."

Lao Jiang's tone of voice was so serious that the emperor's daughter-in-law didn't like it, and it didn't matter if she didn't.Standing on the ground, he didn't know what to do, so he had no choice but to raise his head and look at Zhang Huangshang who had already landed on the ground.

At this time, I heard Lao Jiang say to Jiang Liu again: "Liuzi, Dougen, you two remember, the emperor Zhang will be a gangster in the future! Just like me! When you really get old in the future, you have to wear sackcloth and filial piety to provide for the elderly." At the end of the day, just like serving me, there must be no less courtesy, do you remember?"

Jiang Liu was very cooperative, his face tensed, his chest straightened and he said, "Father, don't worry, as long as I have my breath, I won't let my godfather suffer."

Dougen was not good at words, but he gave a solemn expression of grace.

Seeing that the two children agreed so simply, Lao Jiang felt very satisfied, but he always felt that something was missing. After scratching his head and thinking for a long time, he finally said: "I tell you, if you let me know in the future that you treat Zhang Your Majesty is not filial, be careful I will break the legs of both of you."

As soon as Lao Jiang's voice fell, the emperor hurriedly said behind him: "Okay, okay, let the child get up quickly, it's a cold day, the ground is always cold, if something goes wrong with your knees again, how many or how little?" Ah." As he spoke, the emperor walked over to the two children and pulled them up with his arms.

"Kowtow to your godmother."

Lao Jiang was on the side, and said another sentence abruptly, his voice was quite loud. It is probably the first time that Lao Jiang has been so bold and passionate since he was born.

It's just that this loud voice startled all the people in the room. Fortunately, they were all from their own family, so they didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Lao Jiang's daughter-in-law didn't care about this or that, especially when she looked at the head of the family, who looked like he couldn't find Bei, she felt angry, so she gave him a blank look, and said with a reproachful face: "It's late at night, what are you doing with such a loud voice? What? Are you having a convulsion? Why can’t you finish talking in one go?”

Lao Jiang was very unhappy with the rapid-fire words.You said that in front of so many people, you didn't save face for yourself at all. This is too embarrassing for me to step down.

Hei yelled at his wife repeatedly: "You old lady, why are you arguing so much, just stay here."

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the house was about to intensify, it was thanks to Mrs. Dougen who pulled Lao Jiang's wife from behind, or else she had to make gestures with Lao Jiang according to Lao Jiang's wife's temper.

For a while, Jiang Liu simply ignored the complaints of Lao Jiang and his wife.He turned around, pulled the bean root behind him, knelt down towards the emperor's wife, knocked three more times, and called mother after knocking.

Seeing the child knelt down again, the emperor's daughter-in-law hurried forward to help them up, and said with some distress: "Get up, get up, it's cold on the ground. Besides, we don't have that much courtesy."

The emperor's daughter-in-law spoke very quickly, but after helping the two children up, she hurriedly turned her head aside, wiped her red eye circles, and was choked up and speechless.

Seeing the appearance of the emperor's daughter-in-law, the three women in the room hurried forward and comforted her in a low voice.

Xiazi Han, who had been silent all this time, saw this situation, took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then said while exhaling white smoke: "I think this is very good! Let's make it like this. Kiss and kiss." I can't find it even with a lantern. Your Majesty, after you are supposed to be married, don't talk about it far away, just talk about it now, so you can find a reason to drink and drink here, Brother Jiang, right?"
