[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

Once the Goddess Temple in the capital was completed, the emperor looked left and right and waited for the Lord to come back to open the temple.But it has been more than two months, and there is no sign of turning around.Communication was inconvenient in ancient times, Daiyu didn't take the initiative to report her whereabouts, and the emperor wanted to send people out to search but couldn't find the direction.

So I waited and waited, and with the capital as the center, temples for goddesses all over the country have been built and began to accept pilgrims. There is still no movement in the capital.The emperor originally wanted to get a genuine version, but it almost became a pirated version.The grandmas, wives and ladies in the capital who have been preparing to enter the temple for a long time are also anxiously waiting. There are rumors about the efficacy of this Goddess Temple everywhere, but when can they really verify it!

Daiyu and Xiaosi who were still wandering outside were also stunned. When they wandered to the last boundary near the capital, they planned to have fun for two days before returning directly to Beijing.After being self-willed outside for so long, I don't know how much nagging I will have to endure when I go back. The two of them agreed that this last carnival was necessary.

It just so happened that there was a lot of people on this day, and the place was bustling with people. The big girls and the young daughter-in-law walked in twos and threes, and they all walked in one direction.Daiyu and Xiaosi followed the flow of people together and prepared to find out.As for the accompanying soldiers, they rested and waited at the post station, and only sent three or five people to follow them far behind to guard their safety.This is the case all the way, otherwise, if you follow a thousand people everywhere, can you still have fun.

"Ma'am, what day is it today? Why is it so lively?" Daiyu, who was dressed as a young man, asked an old woman with a kind face beside her.

"Brother is a foreigner, right?" The aunt saw it right away.

"My brother and I are natives of the capital, and we passed through this place on a study abroad trip. This is the last stop of this trip, so we come here to join in the fun." Daiyu used this rhetoric all the way.

"No wonder you don't know that today is the first day for Goddess Goddess to open the temple to welcome pilgrims. We all come to the temple to offer incense and pray." The aunt replied enthusiastically.

"Goddess Empress?" Daiyu asked, why did she have a bad feeling after hearing these four words.

"Fourth brother, do you think it's not what I thought?" Daiyu asked Xiaosi quietly.

"Maybe it's true!" Xiao Si gave an uncertain yet sure-sounding answer.

"Brother, don't you even know the Goddess Goddess who is efficacious? Our place is built according to the Goddess Temple in the capital." The aunt was a little puzzled.

Before Daiyu could reply, the aunt seemed to have come to her senses: "I can't do it when I'm old. The little brother just said that he was studying abroad. I don't know if the goddess is normal."

"Exactly, exactly." Daiyu replied with a slightly stiff smile.

"Brother, my aunt told you that this goddess is the most effective. You know that there was a severe drought in Beifan a few days ago?"

With Daiyu's affirmative nod, the aunt continued: "It's the rain that Goddess Empress begged for, and I don't know how many lives were saved. If you want to say how many people in our Daqi were killed by Beifan, who wouldn't want to take their skins and drink them?" His Majesty is benevolent, Goddess Empress is merciful, and saved them from fire and water regardless of past suspicions. If they change their minds again in the future, they must ask Goddess Empress to punish them severely."

Daiyu is a little embarrassed, she really doesn't have that much ability, and she may disappoint you, Madam.

"But what does this have to do with the Goddess Temple here?" Xiao Si asked Daiyu who was in embarrassment.

"This little brother doesn't know. This Goddess is our Daqi's Goddess. How can we let the people of Beifan go to worship it? Is it possible to bless them? Our place is the orthodox, and the incense from the Goddess Temple The offerings are prosperous, and it is right to bless our Daqi with good weather and abundant grains every year." The aunt said impassionedly.

"Auntie, you have the world in mind!" Looking at such a big ambition, I have to give a thumbs up.

"Ahem, Madam is actually a little selfish." Scholars can talk, look at how comfortable these words are.However, the aunt felt that this praise was a bit ashamed, so she added in a low voice:

"The Goddess Empress is worried about big things. The aunt thinks that if the empress can bless my old sow to give birth to a few more healthy piglets when she is free, it will be great. After the money is sold, my son's gift money will be enough. It's all over." The aunt was still quite embarrassed after she finished speaking, and she didn't know if the Goddess Empress, who took care of every day to bless the world, could hear her wish.

As soon as the aunt's words fell, Xiaosi couldn't help laughing, and was afraid of embarrassing the aunt by laughing, so he resisted the twitching of the corners of his mouth, deforming his handsome face.I endured and endured, but I really couldn't help it, and then Xiaosi choked on his own saliva, coughed loudly, and was out of breath after a while.

Daiyu gritted her teeth, who looked like she was waiting for a beating, and secretly punched and stared, and silently mouthed: "Don't laugh, I will beat you again!"

Can Xiao Si be afraid of this little threat?Absolutely not! Xiaosi is not too serious to watch the excitement: "Mother, don't worry...you are so...sincere, Goddess Empress will definitely feel...your devotion, Bless your old sow to give birth to more cubs, and next year...to marry a capable daughter-in-law." Xiao Si said and coughed.

"Hey, I would like to borrow my brother's auspicious words. Are you okay, brother?" The aunt looked at Xiaosi who couldn't help coughing and couldn't help but worry.

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Xiaosi waved his hands, but the smile on his face couldn't be stopped no matter what.Today's event is definitely ranked as the greatest joy in my life. Unknowingly, my sister even has to take care of how many piglets the old sow in the family will have. It is possible, absolutely possible!

Seeing this, the aunt pulled Daiyu again and said, "Both of you also pay your respects, and the empress will definitely bless you in the coming year toad palace...what's the matter with toad palace?" The aunt who wanted to show off got stuck.

"Toad Palace wins the laurel." Xiao Si answered the conversation in time.

"Yes, that's right, that's the word, toad palace wins laurel. Don't disbelieve the two little brothers, the Goddess Empress is capable, and marriage, offspring, and future are all effective." The aunt continued to sell Amway, looking like a Goddess Empress A pose that can satisfy everyone's wishes.

"Auntie, don't worry, our brothers will definitely pray sincerely. But a person as sincere as Auntie can make a few more wishes, such as a hen laying more eggs, a duck hatching more ducklings, or I will have a grandson in the coming year. The Goddess feels your sincerity and will definitely help you realize your wish." Xiaosi ignored Daiyu who was pinching his flesh one after another, and continued to tease Daiyu, watching the excitement without thinking it was a big deal.

"My aunt also thinks about it, but there are many people asking for the Goddess, and my mother has a lot of things to do every day. After worrying about this, I will worry about that. My aunt will make less trouble. This year's one wish will be fine, and next year I will ask for a new wish." The aunt knows enough to stop. .

"Okay, the aunt who was born here that night wants to come true, we two brothers will go first." Daiyu secretly tugged on Xiao Si, and Xiao Si bid farewell to leave.

When the two walked away, Xiaosi couldn't help laughing again, and joked: "Sister, did you hear that, that kind-hearted aunt wants to have a few more piglets, you have to remember carefully, don't I forgot about it in a hurry. And in the future, you have to take care of the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and cattle of the people, so don’t let them do it just because the things are small!” Xiaosi took pleasure in other people’s misfortunes, and said that he really wanted to go to see if there were too many births at the aunt’s family A few piggies.

"Fourth brother, you are so disgusting, you know it's all fake, and you're still joking. What's going on? Why did Daqi build a goddess temple?" This is to let people all over the world prove her step by step. Is it a goddess stick, a big liar?It's like God is going to kill her! Although few people know her true face in Lushan, it will be very sad if one day you can always hear that Goddess is a big liar, okay?

"Okay, okay, this is the end of the matter, we can only take one step at a time, is it possible that you can prevent everyone from going to the Goddess Temple to pray? If you think about it this way, at least if there is a drought, you can still send some rain to save it. Everyone, it’s much more reliable than those temples and Taoist temples. They don’t know how much money they collect for sesame oil every year, and they haven’t seen any one that has really worked, so there are still so many people who are willing to offer incense and money.” Xiaosi, who had had enough laughing, began to comfort Daiyu , his brother is not considered unscrupulous to the end.

"Right now, I can only comfort myself like this." Daiyu sighed, "Let's go, we're here, we have to see what the Goddess Temple looks like, whether it's so golden and blinding!"

The two passed through the crowded crowd and finally arrived at the gate of the temple. Everyone was queuing up in order, waiting to enter the temple to petition one by one.

Daiyu looked around, the temple was built in a simple and upright manner, at least it didn't choose the golden decoration of Beifan.It's okay, it's okay, don't worry that one day everyone will spread the rumor in private that the goddess likes golden things, otherwise why every temple is decorated so magnificently.

The two stood in line for about an hour, their backs ached from standing, and finally it was their turn.When I entered the temple, there was a life-size stone statue in the center of the main hall, which was carved in the posture of her sitting on the carriage when she came out of Beijing.Legs crossed knees, hands placed in the middle of the knees, even the mask is carved vividly.Although it is a stone statue, it is polished smooth and delicate, and the workmanship is absolutely excellent.

In the big incense burner that the three of them couldn't surround themselves with, a lot of burning incense had already been inserted, and the smoke was transpiring the whole hall, making the stone statue a bit psychedelic.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, look quickly." Daiyu, who was about to leave, turned her head inadvertently, and the corners of the stone statue's mouth pulled up a little bit, as if she was smiling at all living beings.

"Is it my illusion? Or am I fainted by the smell of incense." Daiyu rubbed her eyes. The stone statue didn't smile when she first came in.Before the fourth brother told her that the golden statue smiled, she still didn't believe it. Is this time I want her to witness it with her own eyes?

Xiao Si took a closer look, "Sister, you are right, you have manifested again." Daiyu heard a chestnut knock on Xiao Si's head: "Take it easy, do you want everyone to hear it? Let's leave soon." After speaking, he dragged Xiaosi out in a hurry.

The vision in the main hall has been noticed by some people, and some people have already got up and knelt down again, so what are you waiting for if you don’t hurry up and make a wish?

"Goddess bless, bless me to have a big grandson in the coming year."

"Goddess bless, bless the good husband my little girl is looking for."

"Goddess bless, bless Xiaosheng's high school next year."

"Goddess bless, bless father and mother in good health."

......

All kinds of wishes are made at the same time.
