The Wenwen family didn't know about the sister-in-law's family until just before the Chinese New Year because of an incident.
The next day, it was still a long time before dawn, which is when a person is most sleepy. The sound of Wu getting up and making breakfast came from outside. The sound was very small, but Wen Nuan was still awakened, and he wanted to continue sleeping. She felt like she couldn't open her eyes, but after rolling around on the bed, she still got up and helped prepare breakfast.
Because the whole family is up!
Today, eldest brother and the others are going to Lushan Academy to become apprentices. The academy's exam was at 13:00, and it would take two hours to take a carriage to Fucheng, so they had to set off at 10:00.
Breakfast was noodles made last night, steamed meat buns and boiled eggs. The father and son took them with them to eat on the road, which was convenient.
Wen Jiarui went to the village chief's house to borrow a carriage. The father and son put on new clothes, brought the apprenticeship ceremony they had prepared in advance, and then set off.
After Nuan Nuan had breakfast, Wang and Wu asked the children to dress up, carry two baskets and offerings, and go to the entrance of the village to take an ox cart to the Big Buddha Temple.
These days, Wu and Wen Wenwen make clothes every night, and have already made a new set of clothes for everyone in the family.
After all, my family’s clothes are either in tatters or short.
Today the whole family is dressed up and going out.
It is not unreasonable to say that people rely on their clothes, and Buddhas rely on their golden clothes. The whole family feels much more energetic after putting on new clothes.
Wen Jiarui and Wu had a good life, and each of their children was more handsome and prettier than the other.
In the past few days, I have eaten well every day, and I have eaten health-preserving vegetables grown in purple energy. All of them have grown fleshy, and their gentle complexions have been nourished by the warmth and purple energy, which makes them look better.
However, because I went down to the river to touch snails every day and walked around the streets selling snails, I was a little bit tanned by the sun. In addition to being warm, everyone's skin was a little bit dark, but everyone was full of energy.
Because it was still early, we were walking on the village road, and the villagers had just gotten up to make breakfast, so we didn’t meet anyone along the way.
The Nuan family got on an ox cart at the entrance of the village and arrived at the foot of the green mountain half an hour later.
The Great Buddha Temple is a royal temple with great incense. It is open to ordinary people on weekdays, but it is not open to the public during major festivals.
Because this place is not far from the capital, it only takes two or three days to get there, so sometimes some nobles from the capital come here to worship Buddha, but they are very few.
After all, there is also a very popular temple near the capital.
There are many people coming to pay homage to the Buddha on the first and fifteenth day of each Lunar New Year in the Great Buddha Temple. Therefore, there are many oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages parked at the foot of the mountain, and many people set up stalls selling some ingots, incense candles, various fruits and other sacrificial supplies.
There are also people selling snacks (taro, sweet potatoes, peanuts, cakes, etc.), peace charms, peace knots, etc., which is very lively.
Wu went to buy a Yuanbao incense candle.
They brought fruits, candies and other sacrificial items, so there was no need to buy them.
The few of them started to climb the hundred-step ladder up the mountain.
After lighting incense in front of the Buddha and adding a hundred dollars of incense oil, Wang went to find the master to calculate the auspicious days of the zodiac.
There were so many people seeking signatures today that the long queue almost filled the entire platform after a few turns.
I heard that someone asked for a gold sign early in the morning, so people who came to offer incense couldn't help but ask for a sign to see if they could get a gold sign.
Mrs. Wu felt itchy after hearing this: "Let's go and ask for the signature too."
There are so many people, Nuan Nuan wanted to say next time!
But Wenxin and Wenran had already consciously queued up, looking excited and fun.
Even the gentle little eyes are a little eager.
Nuan Nuan was silent, he couldn't say anything next time, and Wu had already walked over and called Nuan Nuan and Wen Wen to come over and line up.
Nuan Nuan thought that he was transported to the Nalan Kingdom that did not exist in history because of the purple energy released by a Buddha statue.
Forget it, just beg! I just wanted to ask her why she came to this dynasty.
Look at the big Buddha here.
Everyone in the family put Nuan Nuan first and asked her to be the first to ask. Others followed her, and everyone wanted to know if her health was really better.
Nuan Nuan felt that her body was asking for a fortune and it was better to ask the Buddha than herself!
It doesn’t take long to ask for a signature, but it takes longer to get a signature, so it’s Nuan’s turn after a quarter of an hour.
Wen Nuan discovered that all the bamboo sticks in the bamboo stick were dyed red, with the exception of one, which was dyed gold. She couldn't help but wonder if only one of the bamboo sticks in the entire bamboo stick tube had a sign!
She knelt down, clasped her hands together, and worshiped the golden Buddha devoutly. Then she picked up the bamboo stick and shook it without any distractions, and the golden bamboo stick fell to the ground casually.
The people in the queue behind saw it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Golden lottery! The golden lottery of Hongfu Qitian! Another person has obtained the golden lottery."
Even Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to be so lucky.
Everyone heard it and gathered around: "Someone actually asked for the golden lottery again! What day is it today? This golden lottery has been placed in the Great Buddha Temple for many years, and no one has asked for it. Today, two people actually asked for it. "
Everyone looked at the warm eyes with envy!
The abbots in the temple were very surprised.
Gold sign? In the nearly 100 years since the establishment of the Nalan Kingdom, only Emperor Taizu of that year had ever asked for a golden lotus.
Mrs. Wu was so excited when she saw it that her hands were shaking: "Sister Nuan, hurry up and get the signature signed!"
Under the envious gazes of everyone, Nuan Nuan calmly picked up the gold lottery on the ground and was about to walk to the lottery interpretation room.
At this time, the host next to him performed a Buddhist salute to Nuan Nuan, said a Buddhist saying, and then said respectfully: "The donor has asked for the golden lot. You can ask Master Lotus for help. Please give me the lot, and follow me!" "
"Master Fahua? Oh my God! Master Fahua is actually here!" Someone in the team couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Is Master Lotus great?" someone asked curiously.
"Have you never heard of Master Lotus? Master Lotus is an eminent monk. He knows astronomy and geography. He can tell people's fortunes and predict the future. It's great luck to have his guidance!"
"Of course Master Fahua is great. He studied under Master Yunfa. I heard that all the lottery sticks in the Great Buddha Temple used to be bamboo sticks. Later, Master Yunfa traveled through the Great Buddha Temple and personally added a gold stick to the lottery tube.
Emperor Taizu passed by not long after, asked for the golden lottery, and received the guidance of Master Yunfa. Within a few years, the Nalan Kingdom was established!
The reason why the Great Buddha Temple is different from other temples is because Master Yunfa personally added this golden lotus.
I heard that Master Fahua has obtained the true biography of Master Yunfa! "
so smart!
After hearing this, everyone looked at Nuan with envy.
"Why is this man so lucky that he actually won the golden lottery!"
"Looking at the way she looks like she's about to fall down when the wind blows, she doesn't look like a lucky person!"
"Yes, you have a face with no flesh, a skinny body, and a small butt. At first glance, you look like a person who is not fertile. How can he be blessed?"
"I think he has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a mean and miserable look. He is not as good as my sister..."
…
A few women who loved chewing food in the distance looked at Wen Nuan and whispered.
"In the place of Buddhist temple, you should accumulate some virtues of speech, and people should not be judged by their appearance. Some people will have long-term blessings!" An old man couldn't help but said after hearing this.
On the other side, Nuan Nuan looked at Wu: "Mom, I'm going to get the signature signed."
Wu was extremely excited: "Sister Nuan, go quickly! We will wait under the century-old ginkgo tree in a moment."
There is a century-old ginkgo tree in the middle of the temple. In the early morning of autumn, ginkgo leaves fall all over the ground, like a layer of gold scattered, decorating the temple, astonishing tourists and annoying the cleaning monks.
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Okay."
The host put the gold lottery back into the tube and asked the people behind him to continue drawing lots. Then he took Nuan Nuan to the back mountain to find the Lotus Master.
In the back mountain, winding paths lead to secluded areas, shrouded in clouds and mist, and a small stone road seems to go straight up into the night sky.
