The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

After Li Wenjie heard this, he immediately became happy.

But after this joy, tears began to flow from the eyes again.

"Xiao Lang, don't cry,..."

"Ok?"

While the servant of the Li family was comforting Li Wenjie, Li Zhengxiang who was on the bed hummed lightly.

"Xiao Daochang, my lord is awake, my lord is awake." The servant of the Li family heard Li Zhengxiang's humming sound on the bed, stopped to comfort Li Wenjie, and shouted anxiously towards Zhong Wen.

"Are you awake? Then let me see." Zhong Wen hurriedly stopped to meditate and walked over.

In fact, when Li Wenjie entered the room, Zhong Wen, who was meditating, already knew about it, but he didn't open his eyes and continued to meditate quietly.

"Layman Li, can you hear me?" Zhong Wen took the pulse of Li Zhengxiang, feeling that the problem is not serious and the situation is good.

"Little Daoist, I..."

After Li Zhengxiang regained consciousness, Zhong Wen also asked some necessary questions, and stopped talking.

Afterwards, he asked the servant to share half a bowl of the hot soup and drink it for Li Zhengxiang.

After drinking the medicine, there was another cough. However, the coughing time was short and it was not so severe. Then, Li Zhengxiang slowly fell asleep.

Zhong Wen looked at Li Zhengxiang on the bed, and felt that his life was probably saved, but it would probably take a while to raise him.

Chapter 355 The Daughter of Marriage is Shy

Two days later, Li Zhengxiang was basically no longer in a coma, and he could still drink some porridge.

This made the Li family so happy that they no longer knew how to speak.

As for Li Zhengxiang's son, Li Wenjie, he was even more happy running wildly with Taoism, and he was basically in a state of being left alone.

In the next few days, when the new year was approaching, Zhong Wen also started to help the family prepare some things.

Lizhou City, Zhong Wen must go there.

Besides, although the matter of Lizhou has been let go, as the governor of Lizhou, he has to go to see or ask about it.

Today's Lizhou is well-organized. Whether there is Zhong Wen as the governor is not so important. On the contrary, when Zhong Wen is gone, the officials feel a little unnatural.

Zhong Wen just went to have a look, but he didn't have any big ideas.

If there is an idea, he will just keep it in his heart, and will not say anything. As long as there is no major event, Zhong Wen will not bother.

If there is something wrong, Zhong Wen will take action to rectify it.

As for the current Lizhou, under the operation of the Chief of Staff, whether it is government orders or other things, it is greatly supported by the people.

Whether a government order is good or bad depends on whether it is good or bad for the people.

As long as it is for the people, there is basically nothing wrong with it, but if it is not for the people, then you will definitely not like it.

Zhong Wen established the Staff Department at the beginning to implement a new official model for the counties in Lizhou, just like the Poverty Alleviation Office, targeting poverty alleviation.

After Zhong Wen came out of the government office, he wandered around Lizhou City with Xiao Hua, bought a lot of things, and started to carry his donkey back home.

And this trip into the city, Xiaohua went crazy again.

For several months, she has been cooped up at home every day, and she is not even allowed to go to Guanli, which makes her very unhappy.

And now.

As soon as I got out of the house, I didn't know how happy I was.

Along the way, it can be said that it is like a bird flying, from the beginning to the end, Zhong Wen's ears are almost callused.

"Brother, look, there are fruit sellers there." At this time, Xiaohua saw a fruit seller not far from the market, carrying a load, and after pointing, she ran over.

Zhong Wen also looked over, feeling a little puzzled.

In this winter, there are still fruits to sell, which really makes him a little confused.

After Zhong Wen walked over, he realized why there were still fruits for sale in this winter. It turned out that the fruit seller sold small grapefruits in his basket.

This thing is not the fruit of winter.

Most of them are picked in autumn and winter, but if not picked, they can be kept until winter.

If someone with a little bit of brains picks it off after the snowy day and keeps it at home, it can be picked out and sold in the snowy day.

"Brother." At this moment, Xiaohua looked at the little pomelo in the basket, pouted, and yelled when Zhong Wen approached, obviously wanting to eat it.

"If you want to eat, buy it. Aren't you rich?" Zhong Wen looked at the girl's temper, and was really speechless.

Would it be possible to become a lady after entering the city?You have to ask yourself everything.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Zhong Wen led the donkey, hired a carriage, and started heading home.

In the past few days, besides staying in Lizhou City for a day, Zhong Wen also went to the fief to have a look, and brought a lot of things to his grandmother's house by the way.

It's almost Chinese New Year, so we have to get something to go.

As for the villagers in the fief, they naturally shared some, but not much, a few feet of cloth for each family, plus some other things, it was a little bit of his boss's kindness.

When Zhong Wen returned to the temple, Li Zhengxiang was able to walk around in the field.

After drinking the decoction, Li Zhengxiang's illness, complexion, etc., got better day by day.

Although it will take some time, basically there will be no major problems.

leave?

For now it's unlikely.

The New Year's goods in Guanli are basically ready. Besides buying his own things, Zhong Wen also bought a lot of things in Guanli.

In addition to the ones bought by Zhong Wen himself, there were also Taoists from Guanli who went to Lizhou City.

Time, in the passing of this day, the year is also here.

At this time, the year in the Tang Dynasty was not the Spring Festival, and there was no such thing as the Spring Festival in the Tang Dynasty.

The day of the year is the beginning of spring, to show the arrival of the new year.

As for the first day of the year, it is the first day of the first month, but it is not the year.

Although New Year's money has begun to appear, the general public does not have the term New Year's money, and it is basically only popular in nobles, officials' families, or some wealthy people.

Ordinary people can't even afford to eat, so where can they get spare money to give their children New Year's money.

Every year, Zhong Wen spent another year with his master after spending time at home.

It has always been the same.

But this year is better than previous years.

With Li Gaoyuan's family and his own master, it can be regarded as having someone who can talk to relieve boredom.

What's more, there was Li Wenjie, a mischievous little brat, which made the audience even more lively.

Children from other Taoist families don't dare to have fun in the temple, but this Li Wenjie is not like other children.

What's more, his father's illness is getting better, which makes him feel like a shackle has been released in his heart, he is not crazy or a demon.

"Master, these are some tea leaves that my disciple brought back for you. I re-fried them myself. You and Layman Li have a taste." On the second day after the year, Zhong Wen held the tea leaves that he had already prepared. , Be filial to your master.

This is the rule, as well as the custom.

"Jiu Shou, why is your tea different from the others?" Li Daoling was a little confused when he saw the tea that his disciple honored him.

Indeed, the tea at this time is not boiled tea, but boiled tea.

Zhong Wen was not used to drinking, but Li Daoling and the others were used to it, but the sudden receipt of tea leaves from his disciples not only puzzled him, but also puzzled Li Gaoyuan's father and others beside him.

"Master, this tea should be boiled for drinking, or soaked in boiling water. The brewing will be lighter, and the brewing will be stronger. I will make a pot for the master." After Zhong Wen explained, he went directly to the back kitchen , and started to make tea.

Whether the tea tastes good or not is actually a matter of habit.

It's not because of Zhong Wen's new gift that Li Daoling and the others love it very much.

But after drinking it, it is basically acceptable. As long as you drink it a few times, you will basically fall in love with this light and elegant taste instead of the old-fashioned strong sencha.

Two days later, Zhong Wen's family was going to Xu's house for a walk.

Zhong Wen, the eldest grandson, is naturally going to go.

But this morning, Xiu hugged Xiao Wu and sat on the donkey's back, led by Zhong Mugen.

But Zhong Wen was carrying the burden, and Xiao Hua followed closely behind.

The burden is not heavy, and there are not many things.

In addition to some dried tofu that I occasionally make at home, and some bacon or other things, there are basically no other valuable things.

Speaking of which, Zhong Wen also knew that it was impossible to escape this blind date trip.

Because yesterday, Zhong Wen's parents went to the temple and told Li Daoling about it, Li Daoling basically didn't have any opinion.

Even if there is an opinion, it is impossible to say it on the spot.

Although, in Li Daoling's heart, he still didn't want his disciple to get married at this time, and he also didn't want his disciple to marry a woman from a peasant family.

But as Zhong Wen's parents, they can indeed be the master for Zhong Wen, and even his master is not good at interjecting, so Zhong Wen's blind date trip this time is basically scheduled by default.

As for the county lords and honors, in the eyes of Zhong Mugen and his wife, they are not as valuable as the land. In addition, their ideas are so, how can they change in a short period of time.

Zhong Wen couldn't escape the things that were agreed years ago.

Simply, Zhong Wen nodded directly and said to go and have a look, see or something.

As for what the girl on the blind date looked like, he didn't know what kind of character she was, but he thought she was a girl from a peasant family, so they were pretty much the same.

And along the way, Xiao Hua never stopped talking, and kept talking in Zhong Wen's ear, which was even worse than the day when she went to Lizhou to buy new year's goods last time.

"Little sister, can you stop for a while? Wait until you get to grandma's house and see the little lady before you can talk about it? Now you are boasting about her as if it is only in the sky." Zhong Wen couldn't stand his little sister's presence He kept licking his back.

He started to praise people as bad before he met them. What if Zhong Wen is not satisfied after seeing them?

"Brother, although I haven't seen it, A Niang has heard what my grandmother said, saying that the little lady is very good-looking, and she can read." Xiaohua basically ignored Zhong Wen's words.

"Alas." Zhong Wen had no choice but to continue walking with the burden on his shoulders, and stopped talking to this naughty little girl.

On the same day, Zhong Wen's family arrived in Lizhou City, and then lived in the County Hou's Mansion.

This is the first time for Zhong Mugen and his wife to come to the County Marquis Mansion. They were still nervous when they entered the gate of the mansion. After Zhong Wen's explanation, they realized that this was their son's mansion, and then they became bolder. .

However, Zhong Wen also explained the matter about the County Marquis Mansion, but Zhong Wen did not explain the position of governor.

Some things are better not to say too much.

Zhong Wen also had his own thoughts. His father and mother were originally tenants, and they were timid. Besides, if it was really said that this Lizhou governor, he would have been scared to death.

……

"Axiu, you are finally here, come here, Xiao Wu, give me a hug from grandma." The next day, when Zhong Wen's family came to her ancestral home in the fief, Xu greeted her and walked directly from Xiu's house. He held Xiao Wu in his arms.

"Mother, we are a day late, and some things are delayed." Xiu hurriedly explained.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and go in, everyone has been waiting for a day, Xiaowen, come in, come in." Xu hugged Xiao Wu, and started to talk again.

As soon as Zhong Wen entered Xu's house, he saw a man and a woman standing there with a young lady in the main room, looking extremely cramped.

"My little concubine, this is my grandson Xiaowen..." Mrs. Xu pointed to Zhong Wen at the back to the woman and the little lady, and began to introduce.

And with Xu's introduction, Zhong Wen finally understood that the man, the woman and the young lady belonged to the same family, and also knew that the young lady was Zhong Wen's blind date.

As for the concubine Xu called, it was the woman she called.

The woman's surname is Li, and her nickname is Xiaojin. The man's surname is Xu, and his first name is Dawei, who is also from the second village.

As for that little lady, she got a pretty good name, Xu Jie.

After Zhong Wen's family sat down, this group of people began to talk to each other, until the little lady Xu Jie blushed on the spot, avoiding Zhong Wen's eyes.

On the other hand, Zhong Wen sat there quietly without saying a word, just listening to the voices of the adults and occasionally looking at the blind date.

Xu Jie is not very old, probably around 16 years old, in the prime of her youth.

Moreover, Xu Jie's shy appearance at this time made Zhong Wen very curious about what such a young girl was thinking in her mind during the blind date.
