Farmer’s Blessed Girl

They prepared for Yuan Li, and as soon as they went home, Bai Shan got into his own warehouse, and finally found a Buddha statue in one box, and Lao Tzu statue in another box, all of which were carved from jade.

There are many Buddha statues, but there are also two Laozi statues.

Bai Shan carefully compared it, and took the smallest statue of Lao Tzu, only one and a half feet tall.

The steward guarding the warehouse saw the young master holding the Lao Tzu statue, and immediately stretched out his hand to protect it, and said cautiously: "Master, this is carved from black jade. You take it... What are you doing?"

Bai Shan said, "Send it away."

The steward was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "Does the old lady know?"

Bai Shan said: "I'll know soon."

Then he wrote down the things he took out on the list, and ran away with the things after the painting was postponed.

The steward couldn't stop it, so he could only quickly take the book and stuff it in his arms, then locked the warehouse and ran to report to the old lady.

That Lao Tzu statue was specially made by the old lady. It was made of a rare and high-quality black jade, which was more than ten times more valuable than the three-foot-high sapphire Lao Tzu statue.

The young master chose the best one.

I heard that the old lady took that old man as if she was going to give it away.

Mrs. Liu did plan to take the Lao Tzu portrait as a gift, and it was the old grandfather of the Zhang family, a family friend of their Bai Liu family.

The old man Zhang gave the position of the patriarch to his son in the early years, and went to seek the way.

Now Bai Shan is about to grow up, and after a few more years of study, she will definitely have to go back to her hometown, so she has to start running a business in Longzhou, at least to make people who forget their grandparents and despise them remember them again them, value them.

In this way, they will not be humiliated when they return to Longzhou to settle down.

She found that piece of black jade before winter last year. She bought it at a high price, and paid a lot of money to hire a famous craftsman to carve it carefully. It took more than two months to carve it.

Mrs. Liu took the booklet and glanced at it. It was indeed her grandson's signature and stamp. She put it down and asked with a smile, "Who is he going to give it to?"

The steward shook his lips and whispered, "The young master didn't say anything, the little one just saw that the young master went to Miss Man..."

The whole family knows that the Zhou family also believes in Lao Tzu, and from time to time they talk about Lord Tianzun.

However, Mrs. Liu knew that her grandson and Man Bao were half-believing and half-unbelieving in Taishang Laojun. Let’s say it. Deep down, they don’t believe that ghosts and gods will help them; , and every worship is very pious.

Mrs. Liu shook her head and smiled, and said to the steward, "Forget it, if he takes it, give it to him."

When those two children worshiped Lao Tzu, they could just paint a portrait by themselves, and they would not even spend 20 cents to ask for a portrait from the Taoist temple. Take it away, I'm afraid it will be of other great use.

The steward was startled, quickly responded, then bowed and stepped back.

Zheng Shi waited for him to leave before asking anxiously, "Mother, that old lady's birthday gift..."

"Let's find another gift," Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "There is more than one Lao Tzu statue in this world, and what's the hurry? There are still more than two months before his birthday, and the two children may be in two days. came back."

It didn't take long for Bai Shan to come and explain to Mrs. Liu. He also knew that Lao Tzu was going to give it away for his birthday, but he planned to borrow it first, "I will return it to my grandmother in fifty days."

Madam Liu frowned and asked, "Do you still want to take them into the palace?"

Bai Shan nodded, "It's more convenient to incense this way."

Madam Liu rubbed her forehead and asked, "Can you bring it in?"

Bai Shan said: "Man Bao asked Eunuch Wu for help, and it's not a big problem."

Not only do they have to bring them in, they will bring them out again next time they take a break, and they will bring them in again when they enter the palace...

Anyway, it's just like doing enough pious.

As a foreign minister, Zhou Man occasionally carried this Laozi statue in and out of the palace gate. After all, she could use it as an excuse to give it away for her own use, but it was obviously impossible to go in and out so frequently.

Who knows what the hell she's up to?

So even the guards who have a good relationship with her, to be cautious, will not allow her to enter and exit with such a thing after one or two times.

But with Eunuch Wu's endorsement, it's different.

Behind Wu Gonggong stood the prince. The old man seemed to be heading towards the east palace when he entered the palace. The prince agreed, and the guards naturally wouldn't stop him.

So, when he entered the palace again, Bai Shan held a box in his arms. Eunuch Wu came to pick him up in person, and then made a registration at the guard office, indicating that the statue of Lao Tzu would go in and out several times.

This made the guards check more carefully. If it wasn't for permission, they would have wanted to smash the jade carving to see if there was anything in it.

Man Bao looked at them and sympathized with them, and after carrying the things into the palace, he said to Wu Gonggong: "They are too pitiful, there are so many wonderful things in this world, if one is not carefully checked, and something is missed into the palace, Is that their responsibility?"

Eunuch Wu: "...Doctor Zhou Xiao, now it's you who they are checking."

Man Bao didn't realize it at all, and nodded, "I'm a good person, and I never bring anything into the palace."

Bai Shan, who was holding the box, nodded slightly, thinking to himself, because all the things she wants to carry can be taken by Uncle Zhou, but Minglu can use it.

It's just that this time they need to show it to others, otherwise he thinks it shouldn't be difficult for Uncle Zhou to bring this jade carving into the palace.

Eunuch Wu was also very interested in their Lao Tzu statue and asked, "Doctor Zhou Xiao, why don't you send things to the Taoist temple to consecrate them, but do you want to consecrate them yourself?"

Man Bao said solemnly: "I am more sincere and more spiritual."

Eunuch Wu didn't know if he believed it or not. Anyway, he didn't care after sending her to Chongwen Museum, but he still paid more attention to her.

Although I know that Zhou Man shouldn't harm or harm him, but after all, it is a matter of relationship, so I still need to pay more attention.

Man Bao and Bai Shan placed the Lao Tzu statue on the east side, then put the box in front of the Lao Tzu statue, and twisted three sticks of incense to incense it.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang saw each other, and they were accustomed to following and bowing. After a while, nine incense sticks were placed in front of the statue of Lao Tzu.

Bai Erlang asked, "Do you still have to recite the scriptures?"

"It's okay, I'll read for half an hour after I come back and wash up, and then I'll read for half an hour in the morning."

Bai Erlang always felt that her attitude was perfunctory, but her behavior seemed very pious to the people in the palace. The maid who served her would see Zhou Man kneeling on her knees every morning and evening when she came to pour out her face water and pick up dirty clothes. Lao Tzu is like the former devoutly reciting the scriptures.

She didn't even need to flip through the scriptures, she could read in cadence with her eyes slightly closed, and read every word clearly.

The palace maid felt that Lord Zhou Xiao was very powerful, so it didn't take a few days, and many people in the palace knew about it.
