Mama Wang muttered disdainfully, "These little girls, still want to get close to our uncle?" ”

Xue Pan was a little dissatisfied, "How do you treat guests here?" Mama, it's okay to be in your own family, but this is in the Lin family, if you make the guests unhappy, this white thing will not be done. ”

"Izumoko is here," Mama Wang didn't break into Xue Pan's White Tiger Hall for no reason, so naturally Xue Pan's good things were also ruined, and there was a reason to say, "Brother must go to greet him." ”

"Since she is an outsider, she must not care about these ordinary worldly etiquette," Xue Pan has so many beauties to be eye-catching, and her mood is naturally not very high, and she said lazily, "Mama goes out to help me greet her." ”

"Don't you dare to be so lazy!" Middle-aged women are the most convinced of these gods and Buddhas, monks and nuns first-class figures, of course, the spokesperson of the gods and Buddhas in the world, Wang Mama naturally believes in the ghosts and gods, she saw Xue Pan so disrespectful of Izuyunzi, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Mrs. is the most respectful to the monks, the fifteenth day of the first year has to let people go out, specifically looking for monks and monks to give alms, the uncle fell last time, the wife has been begging in front of the Buddha for a long time, the uncle woke up, now there is such a powerful Taoist here, to respect some, Otherwise, the Buddha would have to blame. ”

Xue Pan is not good at arguing with the nurse The Buddha will not come to blame Xue Pan for being rude to a Taoist priest, but since she said so, there is no need to sing any counter-tune in these indispensable little things, "Then let's go and wait outside." ”

When I got to the middle door, I saw that the salt merchants were already waiting in front of the court, full, not under dozens of people, seeing Xue Pan coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Xue Pan couldn't help but wonder, "What are you all doing here?" ”

Shangguan Yunfei hurriedly explained-he was afraid that Xue Pan would be displeased, "This Izumo Zi is proficient in plum blossom easy counting, breaking people and knowing fate, it is really accurate, and the big guys are very respectful, but although she is kind, she will never take it easy to tell fortunes for others, and the big guys are all around this place, thinking that if you can enter the eyes of the Taoist and guide you to the maze, you will earn it." ”

Xue Pan has always been a bit of a pretending character, he is not very cold, what is not easy to shoot, for him, it is just a gimmick, "Oh? Xue Pan shook his fan and smiled disapprerovingly, "This Taoist chief didn't count a hexagram, how much hexagram gold do you want?" ”

"No gold," Shangguan Yunfei said, "as long as there is a piece of green cloth and a piece of pine and cypress, it is before worshipping the gods." ”

If it weren't for the money, there would be some Taoism, Xue Pan nodded, at this time the report came from outside, saying that the car of the Izumo Michigan had arrived, Xue Pan shook his sleeves, led a dry salt merchant out of the middle gate, and greeted him under the eaves, only to see a cyan mule driving slowly outside the street, followed by Ma Song's tall horse, Ma Song got out of the car, stood in front of the mule cart, hung his hands and waited, two female Taoist children came down from the carriage, and then a middle-aged female Taoist priest in her forties got off the carriage, With a handful of dust in her hand, she walked to the door of the Lin Mansion and went up the steps, Xue Pan and the others bowed and saluted, "Greetings to the head of the cloud sect." ”

"Outsiders don't dare to be a big salute for the rich and noble," Izumoko hurriedly returned the salute, Xue Pan raised his head, only to see that this female Taoist priest was in her forties, wearing a jade-colored Taoist robe, her appearance was plain, her expression was gentle, but it was a pair of eyes, clear and translucent, looking around at will, like a breeze washing, Xue Pan was looked at by Izumoko a few times, and it seemed that he was seen clearly in all his internal organs, and Izumoko deliberately bowed to Xue Pan, "Amitayus Buddha, see Lord Xue for the poor way, I only wish Lord Xue peace and happiness." ”

Xue Pan was a little uncomfortable by Izumoko's eyes, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but play a trick with Izumoko, "Since the Taoist is an outsider, why should he be so polite to me, a worldly person, and why do you call me Lord Xue according to the name in the world?" ”

Shangguan Yunfei's face changed color slightly, and he looked at Izumo cautiously, for fear that Izumo would be unhappy, but I didn't expect Izumo to smile slightly, "Amitayus Buddha, although the poor road is a person from outside the square, you can follow the customs of the country, and when you get to Lord Xue's ground, you can't say that you have to listen to Lord Xue's arrangement, since this is the case, why can't you be polite?" Naturally, I have to respect Lord Xue. ”

Xue Pan sighed secretly in his heart, this person is really very kind, but there is no other monk who is not allowed to be worldly, Xue Pan nodded, and bowed his hand to Izumozi, "Dao Chief, please." ”

Xue Pan asked Izumoko to rest in the inner courtyard, and the salt merchants outside were not good to go in again, Izumoko first went to the small courtyard where he was settled, and saw a Bodhi tree planted in the garden, she was very satisfied, she didn't seem to care much about the rest of the things, Xue Pan asked how the diet was, but it was forbidden to eat meat, Izumoko smiled, "Our Taoists are not vegetarian compared with Buddhism, except for beef, dog meat, wild geese, and turtles, the rest of the meat and vegetarian dishes are not taboo, please don't be extravagant and wasteful, and take food and clothing as the top." ”

After a while, after entering the tea service, Izumoko began to receive the female dependents, the female dependents of the salt merchant are easy to send away, today is the third day of Mrs. Jia's immortal death, it is the most important time before the funeral, the officials and female dependents on the scene of Yangzhou City have come to the Lin Mansion to mourn, Izumoko's language is mild, although it is a monk, it is not very old-fashioned, some of the female dependents are fashionable, they can be picked up, and there is the identity of the easy number of masters, but it can make these female dependents a little quieter, these county orders, school administration, prefect, The female dependents of officials such as the Terracotta Division are just small leaders, the two major leaders in the circle of officials and wives in Yangzhou City, a salt transport envoy's wife, because her husband has a handle in Xue Pan's hands, she has to come to perfunctory today, although her face is not good-looking, but Xue Pan will not worry about a woman.

The other is the wife of the governor of Caoyun, the governor of Caoyun and the salt envoy have similar powers, the central government sent here to manage a special affairs, he is responsible for ensuring the smooth and safe passage of the Tongji Canal, to ensure that the materials from all over the southeast can be smoothly sent to the center, this time the governor of Cao Yun is equal to a million profits, without tearing up with the salt merchants to get the American errand of escorting the salt tax into Beijing, Xue Pan borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, gave the governor of Caoyun a few points of salt, money can be channeled, this time, the wife of the governor of Caoyun came in person.

Izumoko hurriedly greeted her, and the rest of the women and dependents also greeted her, and for a while, the pearls shone brightly on the flower hall of hospitality.
