Shangyuan Festival, born on the fifteenth day of the first month of Shangyuan Tianguan, blessed by Tianguan, is the main festival of Taoism.

Dezhou Sanqingguan is located in the east shou mountain of Wutong County, the momentum is magnificent, exquisite and magnificent. Because of the reason of crisp white bi, the reputation of Sanqingguan is far and wide, the incense is extremely prosperous, there are more than 200 Taoist priests in the whole Taoist temple, the morning bell and dusk drum, the magnificent majesty. Guan Zhuyang and the real person have passed, the beard is still black, wearing an apricot yellow gossip robe, standing on the Dengxian platform, the sleeves are dancing in the wind, and the next moment is about to feather into the air, whoever sees it must praise the true immortal.

Sanqingguan, the Great Wei Dynasty is the Taoist management body of the imperial court, the Chongxuan Department is set up in the middle of the court, which is subordinate to the Honglu Temple, the director is called the head of the sect, the official residence is the five products, and is in charge of the palace view and the Taoist crown book, Zhai Jiao; Each state has three clear views, the main view is called a real person, the official residence is seven products, and presides over Taoist affairs in one state. After the Zheng Dynasty Wei, the Chongxuan Department was abolished, but the Sanqing Temple in various places still exists, and it is still a Taoist management body, but it has no power, and its influence among the people is not as good as before.

In the morning, the news brought by a pilgrim made Yang and Zhenren completely lose the mood to stand on the Dengxian platform and pretend to be immortals. Three days ago, Wenping opened a glycerin shop in Fuzhong, selling crispy white bi. In less than half an hour, the entire Wenping Mansion was detonated by the glycerin shop, each piece of crispy white bi only cost 500 Wen, according to the guys in the store, the heavenly officials blessed it, and it was sold at a 50% discount within three days.

Crisp white, fairy food, good things that have money and nowhere to buy, but no one who has a little money in his hand wants to touch the blessings given by the heavenly officials. Tongji Street in front of the glycol store was blocked, which alarmed Sima Shang Jingwei of Texas, and sent troops to maintain order.

For three days, more than 10,000 pieces of crispy white bi were snatched up, there were good believers who came from hundreds of miles away to hear the news, of course, there were businessmen who saw business opportunities, and the inn next to the glycerin shop was full of people. Every day before dawn, there is a long queue in front of the glycerin store, and some people even wait in line all night.

In the cloud room, Yang and the real person were puzzled, this secret of the crisp white light has always been known only to the viewer, when did it leak out? Who is the owner of the glycerin shop, and how does he make crispy white bi? The mortal world can use money to buy crisp white bi, and the incense of Sanqingguan will definitely be greatly affected, and those good believers who seek to get crisp white bi may not be as pious as before.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the lights in the Jiang house were bright, and the laughter continued.

"Third brother, you are tired, I will toast you on behalf of Yi'er."

"Sister, what are you polite to the family, if you want to say that I have to thank Yi'er." Huang Kailin raised his glass and said. Huang Kailin is now wearing a sea blue cloth robe, the short beard on his chin has been carefully groomed, his stomach is a little bulging, and he looks like a big shopkeeper in his gestures.

Jiang Huang laid out a chopstick dish for his younger brother, and said with a smile: "Our family has no competent manpower, thanks to the third brother, you can support it." The eldest brother and the second brother are really, let them come out to do things, as if they were going to cut off their heads, hiding and not daring to see people. ”

"Alas, sister, it's not that you don't know, the eldest brother and the second brother are used to being honest and illiterate, so don't be embarrassed for them. Besides, didn't you hand over the sixty acres of land you bought in the village to them to take care of, and they liked it? Huang Kailin chewed the wind duck in his mouth carefully, and the more he chewed, the stronger the taste became.

Putting down the chopsticks, Huang Kailin spat out the wine with satisfaction, pointed to the dishes on the table and sighed: "In previous years, I couldn't even think of it." is still Yi'er has the ability, and he has come up with these ways to make money in the exam, and his life with the Huang family is better. Sister, you are blessed, you have given birth to a good son, and my brother toasts you. ”

Hearing his brother praise his son, Jiang Huang smiled like a flower and drank it all happily.

"This time, the three of them worked together to run the crisp white bi, and this business made money faster than the folding fan business. The Guo family is trustworthy, the Yu family is a tiger, although Yi'er has a teacher-student relationship with the eldest master of Yufu, but no one can say anything about the business, and I, who is an uncle, have to take care of him. The folding fan is on the right track, and the two people of Donghe and Dongshui are also on the road, as long as they are there, I will take care of the crispy white business. This time, I also brought Donghu and Dongjiang with me, so that they can help, and I can also help An Yong when I have experienced it in the future. ”

Donghu is the eldest of his own family, Dongjiang is the third eldest of the second brother, he is lowering his head to bite the pig's trotters, gnawing his face full of oil, and Yan'er is happily piling vegetables into the bowls of the two of them. Huang Kailin saw the two of them patronizing and bowing his head to eat, and scolded: "Just knowing how to eat, I don't have any cleverness." ”

Huang Donghu and Huang Dongjiang heard the scolding, holding pig's trotters in their hands, raising their heads at a loss.

Jiang Huang scolded with a smile: "Third child, what are you scaring them for, Donghu, Dongjiang, don't pay attention to him, eat yours, eat whatever you want, don't be polite at your aunt's house." ”

Huang Kailin sighed and said, "I don't study and suffer, the eldest brother and the second brother just suffer the loss of illiteracy, otherwise how would this shopkeeper fall on me." Donghe is stronger than Dongshui, because Donghe has studied for two years, and these two boys have also read for two years, so I don't know if it will be useful then. In the future, the children in the family will let them study, like Anyi, and have a lot of success. ”

"An Yi mentioned to me that he wanted to set up a family school, and asked his husband to come to the house to teach An Yong to read and write, and said that any of the brothers in his uncle's family could come if he wanted to."

Huang Kailin patted his thigh and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, I really set up a family school, and I let everyone under the age of sixteen come to study." I kind of understood, reading and literacy don't suffer. ”

"By the way, An Yi said that there is vacant land next to our house anyway, so I simply asked my uncles to move over and start the house, help relatives, neighbors help neighbors, and take care of each other as family members. Don't worry about the money for the house, An Yi wants to take out 20% of the folding fan and crisp white bi, which can be regarded as thanking his uncle's family for taking care of him. ”

"How can this work, there is too much money. Sister, it shouldn't be your idea. Huang Kailin stood up in shock, shook his head and refused. He knows that the annual dividend of the Jiang family is not less than two hundred taels, and he has also heard of the business of crisp white bi, and it is estimated that the annual dividend will not be less than ten thousand taels, if two percent is given, it is more than two thousand taels of silver, so much money, he can't ask for it.

Jiang Huang pulled Huang Kailin to sit down, and said with red eyes: "Your brother-in-law passed away early, and our family didn't rely on you to barely support it. Now that An Yi is big, he will make money, there are only four people in our family, and the place where the money is used is not, my sister buys land in addition to buying land. ”

"There are many people in your family, the children are all older, and you are going to start a family, and you have to use money everywhere, although the situation is better now, but it is still compact. This is really not my sister's idea, but An Yi's idea is very much in favor of it, money can't buy family affection, this money is spent comfortably, don't say more, this matter is settled. ”

"Sister." Huang Kailin was grateful and sad at the same time, and said in a choked voice: "In the middle, I won't say more." I'll discuss the matter of moving with my eldest brother and second brother when I go back, and it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

There was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, it was Jiang Anyi who had returned from the county seat with An Yong. Yan'er rushed out of the door, greeted her, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Brother, have you bought the rag doll?" ”

"Bought it." Jiang Anyi walked in with Yan'er, and An Yong carried a bamboo box on his shoulder.

Seeing that the third uncle was at home, Jiang Anyi and An Yong put down their east and west to salute. Huang Donghu and Huang Dongjiang are cousins, Jiang Anyi greeted with a smile: "Cousin, the matter in the store will trouble you in the future." ”

The two were stunned and didn't know how to answer, Jiang Anyong smiled and said, "Cousin, I have a good horse, I'll take you hunting another day." Suddenly, the eyes of the two lit up, and they grabbed Jiang Anyong and asked a long question.

Huang Kailin shook his head helplessly, Jiang Anyi poured him a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "It's good to have more experience, I wasn't the same back then." By the way, uncle, do you know where there are tea trees? ”

"Tea tree?" Huang Kailin was very strange and said: "Isn't there a teahouse in the city, if you want to drink tea, you can go directly to the teahouse to buy tea." ”

"Isn't this going back to the academy soon, I'm thinking about bringing a few gifts to my friends, and everyone else is easy to say, just send the things in the bamboo art shop." But I have a good friend who has helped me a lot, and he doesn't look at ordinary things. He likes to drink tea, and the tea leaves in the teahouse are definitely not good, so I wonder if we have any good tea trees here, so I simply make my own tea leaves that are both delicious and heartfelt. Jiang Anyi patiently explained.

Huang Kailin thought for a while and said: "When I was a child, I heard your grandfather say that there are a few old tea trees on Matou Mountain thirty miles away. Later, I heard that several monks had built a temple there, and I didn't know if the tea tree was still there. ”

A hundred-year-old tea tree, that's a treasure, Jiang Anyi immediately decided to go and see it tomorrow, if it's convenient, just buy a few old tea trees.

Jiang Anyi wanted to come to buy tea, the third uncle said to lead the way, An Yong said to follow to play, Yan'er quarreled to go, and finally provoked Jiang Huang's family to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. The next day, two horses, two ox carts, and a group of more than ten people marched towards Matou Mountain.

Matou Mountain, named after the shape, is called Matou Mountain by the locals. At that time, a team of chariots and horses broke the silence of the mountain forest, and the chickadees on the side of the road were so shocked that they spread their wings and flew into the distance. Jiang Anyong rode the red cloud to take the lead, galloping back and forth on the mountain road, Jiang Anyi rode charcoal, and Yan'er sat in his arms, looking around restlessly, full of excitement.

From the gap in the trees, you can see that there is a temple halfway up the mountain, and a waterfall hangs like a silver dragon not far from the temple. Some terraced fields were cultivated around the mountain, and the monks in the temple were thought to be self-reliant. The carriage and horse stopped in front of the simple mountain gate, Jiang Anyi hugged Yan'er off the horse, looked up and saw a cypress plaque hanging above the temple gate, and the three big characters of "Anlong Temple" were vigorous and powerful.

There are monks in the temple to welcome out, Anlong Temple is very small, and it is the Daxiong Treasure Hall when you enter the mountain gate. Jiang Huang took his children to incense and worship the Buddha devoutly, and gave ten incense money, and the abbot of Anlong Temple Hongxin led everyone to the meditation hall to rest, and there were small novices offering tea.

The color of the tea soup is yellow and green, the aroma is a pleasant orchid fragrance, it is the best green tea, Jiang Anyi's purpose here is to see the good tea and the color is happy, blurt out praise: "Good tea." ”

Monk Hongxin is about forty years old, with nine incense scars on his shiny head, a clear face, his eyes are lowered, and the monk's robe on his body is covered with many patches, which shows that life in the temple is hard. Hearing Jiang Anyi's praise, Hong Xin raised his head and said with a smile: "Does Xiao Tanyue also like tea?" ”

"The tea is slightly bitter, light and fragrant, and seems to have a Zen flavor."

Monk Hongxin clasped his palms together and said: "Amitabha, Tan Yue has a lot of wisdom, and the tea Zen is the same as what my uncle Master Guangming said. ”

Mingpu Temple, the world's Zen flourishing, did not expect this remote Anlong Temple Hongxin monk to come from an extraordinary background.
