Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Why do everyone go to the mountain to pray before the busy season, during the festivals, and during the slack season?

Because not only the villagers have to farm, but the Taoist priests also have to farm, and neither side has time.

In the past, the villagers in the nearby villages were all poor, so they seldom brought anything when they went up the mountain to worship. At most, they brought a few handfuls of vegetables.

But Shouqing Guanzhu and the others grow their own vegetables. They don’t care about the vegetables sent by the villagers at all. However, this is also their respect for the old man. Everyone still collects them. If they can’t finish them, they can be dried and made into dried vegetables.

At that time, Dao and Daoxu were poorer than Man Bao, because Man Bao still had the New Year's money saved for the New Year, and could eat a piece of candy from time to time, but the two of them could barely eat enough.

However, since the news that Man Bao was the reincarnation of a fairy spread, everyone felt that Laojun recognized this Taoist dojo, even if he wanted to protect the reincarnated fairy occasionally, Laojun would come back from time to time to take a look, right?

So first, the nearby villagers liked to come to worship, and then people from the town and county would come to join in the fun, and now, even people from neighboring counties would come all the way to worship.

The incense of the Taoist temple is very strong, and the master of the Shouqing temple has received a lot of charity. He simply repaired the backyard, and he can stay in two guest courtyards.

Even Dali Village is much more lively.

Originally, there were only people in Dali Village at the foot of the mountain when they went to the market, but now it is not always the case. When there are many people coming from outside, the nearby villagers will temporarily sell some eggs and vegetables outside.

Sometimes the guests who come here cannot return within a day, and they cannot live in the Taoist temple, so they will live in Dali Village, and they need money for food and lodging.

Dao and Daoxu brought tea and water to the guests, or introduced accommodation, and they always got some rewards. This is how the two of them saved their money, but their handling of money was completely opposite.

Daoxu spent most of his money on food and clothing, while Daohe saved up to buy books, pens, ink and paper.

At present, Daohe's ideal is to complete his studies. In the future, like his masters and uncles, he will explain the scriptures and explain the scriptures to others, and the sesame oil money he will get is much more than reward money.

Dao Xu felt that the lay people who came to worship liked to hear fairy tales like Man Bao, and sometimes he said well, the money would be given in strings.

He felt that the scriptures that Master asked to memorize were too difficult, and the signed papers were not easy to understand, and a lot of things had to be calculated. After many calculations, it was the easiest to make money by telling people stories.

But if he is convinced that Man Bao is the reincarnation of a fairy...

He lowered his head to look at Man Bao, just as Man Bao looked up at him, both of them shuddered, and refused: "Forget it, I'm afraid that Lord Tianzun will come to see me in my dream at night."

Daohe laughed, shook his head and said to Man Bao: "Then you really treat the nobles in the palace?"

Man Bao nodded, "I'm treating the queen and the prince, but you can't talk about the affairs of the nobles. So don't try to use this to make money."

Daohe was surprised, "Has your medical skills reached this point?"

Man Bao became proud, "It's okay. There are still many old doctors in Beijing and imperial physicians in the palace, but they are not bad in some aspects. I can even lead apprentices now."

Daohe pondered and said, "I wanted to ask you about medical skills."

He said: "Recently, Master began to teach me to distinguish the yin and yang of herbs. The monarchs and ministers also passed on a few prescriptions to me. I will treat the believers who come up to ask for medicine. I don't know if you can give me some advice. Is it a taboo?" .”

Generally, those who study Taoism know some medical skills, not for the purpose of being a doctor, but Taoism follows nature. They pursue the essence of things to study the body.

Of course, at present, the Shouqing temple masters don’t think about this. What they think is that learning some prescriptions can save people. In the past, when the incense in the Taoist temple was not prosperous, it was maintained by picking some medicinal materials and giving them to believers who came to ask for medicine. .

Man Bao also took the medicine given by the Master Shouqing Temple when she was a child, and her mother also took it, of course she knew this, she smiled and said: "What taboo is this?"

She thought for a while and said: "You want to learn, I'll send you a medical book I'm compiling later, it contains many pulse records and prescriptions, if you don't understand after reading it, you can write to me and ask. "

Man Baodao: "Master Bai has to send things to the capital every three months. Besides, there are occasional letters. You can send someone to my house after you write a letter, so that my family members can hand it over to Master Bai. When I want to send something to the capital, I will take it with me."

Daohe smiled, and said with sparkling eyes: "Thank you."

Man Bao also smiled with crooked eyebrows, "No thanks."

Bai Shan asked her, "You gave him the brochure, then what will you give Doctor Liu and the others when you return to Beijing?"

Man Bao said: "I didn't intend to give him the original book, aren't you idle recently, so you can help me copy a copy when I'm writing it."

Daohe heard the words and looked at Bai Shan, and looked at him with a smile.

Bai Shan looked helpless, "Okay."

Daohe smiled brightly, and raised his glass to pay them a little respect.

Bai Shan and Man Bao raised their teacups and bowed back and forth, and after taking a sip of tea, they all wrinkled their faces again.

Daohe said with a smile: "I really think this tea is good, but it may be that this pot is not cooked well. I still have a pot of Shou Shi Shishu's fried tea. I made three packs. You can take it back and taste it later. Taste it, if you think it tastes good, come back before you go to Beijing, and I will pack another bag for you."

Bai Shan and the others don't like drinking tea very much, but the husband likes it very much, so they didn't refuse his tea.

Daohe gave them three packs of tea leaves and three talismans, "This is an amulet, and it has been placed under Laojun's seat for eighty-one days. Time went well."

The three of Man Bao took it, and said to him: "In the future, if you want to travel, you must tell us."

Daohe said with a smile: "I'm still young, Master won't let me out for a while."

Daoxu on the side said: "That's not necessarily true. This year we not only took in two Junior Junior Brothers, but also a Junior Junior Sister. After two years, when they grow up well, we might be able to go out."

The three of them were surprised, "Do you have a younger brother and younger sister?"

"That's right," Daoxu said proudly, "Go, I'll take you to meet them."

The three of them went with him to the courtyard at the back, he pushed open a door, and Daoist Shoushi was leading the three children in the house, when he saw them coming in, he waved his hands and said: "You are here just in time, hurry up, you little ones The junior sister is pulling again, come and change the diaper."

Bai Shan looked up and saw a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes on the couch against the wall, beside Shou Shi there was a child over one year old and a child over three years old.

Three people: ...is this too small?

Daoxu frowned in disgust, and went up to change his little junior sister's diaper. The three of Man Bao greeted Shoushi, and when they saw that he was feeding the two children, they sat aside and waited obediently.

Daoist Shoushi knew them well, and asked with a smile if they were here? While explaining the origins of the three children, "They were all picked up at the entrance of the Taoist temple."
