Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure
Chapter 13 Fulfill your vows at Baode Temple and eat braised pork
I don't know how long it took before everyone in the room calmed down and could barely communicate normally.
Under the light of the oil lamp, Mrs. Lin found a piece of cloth at the bottom of the box and carefully wrapped the ten silver ingots.
Cheng Wan had no problem with Old Mrs. Lin keeping the one hundred taels of silver. Anyway, according to Old Mrs. Lin's temperament, it was impossible for her to take the money without permission.
Cheng Erniu and Xiao Lin were suppressed by Mrs. Lin and could not escape the storm.
As for herself, Cheng Wan was confident that she could take the money from Mrs. Lin when she needed it.
Old Mrs. Lin hugged the cloth bag tightly, looked around everyone with her eyes, and glared at Cheng Erniu and Xiao Lin. "Ah Wan is very considerate. We have this hundred taels of silver in our family, and only we know about it." , don’t tell Xiaoyu and the others, they can’t hide things.”
"Keep your mouth shut tightly when you go out, and don't behave like you have your tail raised to the sky. If anyone talks too much or shows something wrong, and let outsiders see something, I will definitely make him look good!"
Mrs. Lin calmed down and said seriously: "With these one hundred taels, our family will be able to slowly buy more land in the future, as well as Daping and Erping. They are both at the age of proposing marriage. Before, My family was too poor to pay a betrothal gift or hire a matchmaker, so this matter has been delayed. I thought, let's find a way to renovate our house later, so that Daping and Erping can marry each other. There are Sanping, Awan, Xiaoyu and Huahua, and they will have to rely on this money to get married in the future."
"In short, if anyone wants to become a monster, he should first think about his son and daughter!"
Cheng Daping and Cheng Erping were a little embarrassed when they heard that Mrs. Lin wanted to tell them about their marriage.
Only Cheng Wan, who was present, looked calm, as if the Wan in Mrs. Lin's words was not her.
Xiao Lin had a depressed expression on her face, "Mom, why are you always glaring at me? No matter how short-sighted I am, I still know the seriousness of this matter and I know it well."
Mrs. Lin glared at Xiao Lin again, "I want to give you a tight skin first!"
"Besides, we all know who is responsible for having this money in our family. We will remember some of Ah Wan's good deeds in the future."
Cheng Wan nodded calmly in her heart, "Yes, remember some of my contributions, don't be a monster and look for trouble and live a good life."
"I make the decision. The remaining money in Ah Wan's bag will be kept by Ah Wan as pocket money. There is no need to give it to me."
Cheng Wan raised an eyebrow and said, "Nai, keep your word."
Old Mrs. Lin patted the cloth bag in her arms and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. "Forget it, you have brought so much money home. I can't be so stingy and still stare at your few coins."
Cheng Wan nodded, smiled and touched the gauze draped on her arm with her hand, sighing in her heart: "Mistress, what I have here is not just a few copper coins, but nearly three and a half taels of silver."
After spending fifteen taels of silver, there were still two and a half taels left. When she left in the morning, Mrs. Lin gave Cheng Wan four coppers, and she got about nine taels of silver for resisting the robbery of the two who blocked the road.
Before releasing it, the Cheng family had to save these three and a half taels of silver for two to three years.
Mrs. Lin didn't know this, otherwise she wouldn't have let Cheng Wan hold so much money even if she regretted it.
As for Cheng Erping, who was the only one who might know the actual situation, he only saw Cheng Wan keep taking out money, but he didn't know how much Cheng Wan took out in total.
Even Cheng Erping was a little confused as to what they both bought.
Compared with the shock brought by one hundred taels of silver, the pile of things Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping bought back was nothing.
Grain, fine salt, spices, icing sugar, enough linen to make new clothes for the whole family, Mrs. Lin’s silver-plated hairpin, Wang’s and Xiaolin’s wooden hairpins, Cheng Xiaoyu and Cheng Hua’s red headbands, pastries, Cheng Daniu and Cheng Ohira's medicine...
On the faces of Mrs. Lin and others, in addition to the distress over the money spent, there were also uncontrollable smiles.
Among them, two pounds of white pork stuffed with red pork was unanimously liked by everyone.
"It's too late today. Let's stew rice and make braised pork at noon tomorrow!"
After Cheng Wan finished speaking, she swallowed uncontrollably.
This body is so greedy.
It was already dark, and Wang and Xiao Lin were going to cook.
Cheng Wan didn't let him go and directly divided the cakes he bought today among everyone so that everyone could eat them for dinner.
It was just dawn the next day.
Cheng Wan crawled out of bed.
Wang told her last night that she would take her to Baode Temple early today to fulfill her vow.
Cheng Wan had been curious about Master Guiji from Baode Temple for a long time.
She wanted to ask the master if her coming to this world was a return, or if everything was just a coincidence.
Baode Temple is not far from Jiajia Village.
Wang and Cheng Wanmaozheng set out from home, and Chenzheng arrived at Baode Temple.
There are many people coming and going in Baode Temple, but it is not noisy and it is very quiet.
Cheng Wan followed Wang and inserted the burning incense into the incense burner, then faced the tall and majestic Buddha statue and knelt on the ground.
Coming out of the main hall, Wang recognized Master Guiji under a ginkgo tree.
"Master, I wonder if you still remember me. My husband's surname is Cheng. My husband-in-law and I brought my daughter here about eight years ago. At that time, you said that my daughter's soul was not intact."
Cheng Wan stood next to Wang and looked at the Master Peeping.
He is very old, his eyebrows and beard are white, and his face is covered with wrinkles.
But he looked calm and had a compassionate smile on his lips.
Cheng Wan's eyes inadvertently met Master Guiji's eyes. At that moment, Cheng Wan's body froze, and she felt as if she had been seen through from beginning to end.
Master Guiji's expression remained unchanged and his voice was gentle, as if he had a Zen spirit.
"Donor, you are home."
Cheng Wan's pupils dilated instantly and goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body.
She had made guesses before, but she didn't expect that it was just a face-to-face meeting, and the master seemed to know everything.
"Donor, what you see and feel are all true."
Cheng Wan followed Wang. When she was about to step out of the temple gate, she turned back and glanced in the direction of the ginkgo tree. What Master Guiji had just said to her alone came to mind: "The donor doesn't believe in Buddhism, so It’s not suitable for a temple, just follow your heart and don’t have to come again.”
Cheng Wan thought, of course she didn't believe in Buddhism, she only believed in herself.
"Awan, hurry up, let's go home."
A bright smile suddenly appeared on Cheng Wan's face: "Here we come."
Cheng Wan was in a very good mood all the way after confirming that he was a ghost and that these family members were really his family.
After entering the hospital and smelling the aroma of braised pork, I felt better.
Entering the kitchen, Cheng Wan closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the meat aroma, "Nai, your braised meat tastes so good."
Mrs. Lin was quite proud of herself, "That's because the last time I made braised pork was not long after your grandfather and I got married. Your father didn't exist at that time. Your grandpa liked to eat the braised pork I made."
After hearing this, Cheng Wan had only one thought, "It is indeed expensive to have children."
Mrs. Lin's craftsmanship and Cheng Wan's purchase of a lot of spices for cooking last night made the braised pork smell so overpowering that it caused children from several nearby families to cry loudly as they clamored for meat.
There is even an unreasonable mother-in-law who is yelling at Sang and Huai in a sharp voice because her grandson is crying. What she means is that if the Cheng family's conditions are just a little better, they start eating meat, which is a waste of money and a show off.
Mrs. Xiao Lin curled her lips: "They just can't eat meat and say it smells bad. Our family used to smell the aroma of their food before eating, so we are not like them."
Mrs. Lin glanced at Xiao Lin and praised, "You still have some brains."
After eating, everyone sat at the table and didn't want to move, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.
Xiao Lin savored the taste of braised pork and felt that he had never eaten anything so delicious in his life.
"Mom, when are we going to have braised pork again?"
"I just finished eating and I'm thinking about eating it again. Why aren't you craving for it? I've eaten a pound of meat in this meal. I plan to pickle the remaining half and eat it slowly. Don't think about the braised pork for now. "
Cheng Wan listened to the voices of Mrs. Lin and the others in his ears, and thought of another thing.
It’s time to harvest wheat, doesn’t that mean the Dragon Boat Festival is coming? Or is the Dragon Boat Festival already over?
Cheng Wan suddenly frowned and had doubts in his heart: "What dynasty is this from? Is it a dynasty that existed in history? If not, are there festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival?"
