Text Chapter 497 Datang Godfather
In the evening of the same day, Li Zhi and the others went to Sasher's house, where he had already married and had children, and was the father of a son and a daughter.
The expatriate gathering area next to the Ikedo pier was his temporary home home, and as the leader of the Ima Society, he owned an entire compound.
The son of Ibn who is less than three years old is another surprise for Li Zhi, who is actually like a flat baby, a person with a dual-attribute physique.
But he quietly didn't mention it to anyone, after all, he didn't know much about the Sarcher family.
It's just that to his surprise, Fu Chen saw the peculiarity of Iben's physique, endured it several times, and saw that Li Zhi pretended not to know, so he temporarily put down his thoughts.
The youngest daughter, Gidani, is just one year old and can't walk upright yet, but her mischievous and cute appearance makes the group very fond of her.
Sasseer's wife, Krimai, was also a cultivator, but she was only at the level of a first-level hunter, and her appearance was very sweet, but Li Zhi was even more curious about how she got together with Sasher, who was born as a pirate.
Seeing Li Zhi's question, the generous Crimai pursed his lips and smiled:
"I am a Tang Dynasty person, because my father came here when I was a child, and although my mother was brought from my hometown later, she taught us to speak Chinese from an early age. When Sasher first came to Guangzhou four years ago, he became a regular customer of our family's Muslim restaurant, and my father introduced him to me when he saw that he was upright and honest! ”
Sasher said happily: "Their family only learned about my original pirate identity later, and it's too late to regret it, I have children!" ”
For some reason, little Ibn seemed to like the aura on Li Zhi's body, and after seeing him, he hugged him tightly in his arms and refused to leave.
At this time, when I heard this, I exposed my father very shamelessly, and there was still some milky Chinese accent, which was very pitiful: "My father is a big hooligan, and I can't get up on my mother every day!" ”
The sudden revelations that made the scene embarrassing for a while were that Krimai, who had no shy nature of a Muslim woman, was also hung there with a sluggish face, and subconsciously pulled up the headscarf that was taken off the back of his head to cover the redness on his face.
Sasher was angry for a while, and was about to get up and scold him, Li Zhi hurriedly turned around and protected Iben: "Tong Yan Wuji, you are really willing to do it!" ”
He turned to look at Krimai, "This child is destined for me, it is said that no matter how young the child is, he will not spit out about his family or his heart when he guards the stranger he meets for the first time, and he can talk about it in front of me, obviously he doesn't treat me as an outsider!" ”
Ibn did not feel the slightest fear of his father's open hand, "Uncle, I feel that you are very dear, closer than my father." He looked up at Li Zhi with a small face.
Fu Chen saw the doorway, "Mr. Li, this kid is eccentric, it seems that he has a lot to do with you, isn't it ......?"
Li Zhi nodded slightly, and already had an idea in his heart, "Krimai, are you interested in going to Chang'an City with Sasher?" I like this kid very much, and I want to take him as a righteous son! ”
Because he was in a hurry, Klimai didn't know about Li's situation, and at this time he was embarrassed, "Mr. Li, there is no problem with following my husband to Chang'an City, but there are many taboos in religious differences, although I and my two children are very suitable for life here, but some things cannot really be integrated into Han folk customs, this ......"
Her concerns are the reality of the situation, and the religious taboos are much weaker, and there is a completely different way of life.
Klimai is worried that Muslims are too particular about it, and theoretically Muslims do not recognize relatives, and they think who is who and who they think belongs to Allah.
The customs of the Tang Dynasty need to take a formal form of family recognition, which will be very embarrassing between Muslims and non-Muslims.
But Sasher had his thoughts, and quickly pulled his wife aside, and roughly told Li Zhi's identity.
Krimai covered his mouth with his hands and his eyes widened, apparently stunned by the presence of Princess Afifa.
In Arab countries, the right to interpret all religions lies with the imam, who is the teacher or scholar in Persian, and the imam is subordinate to the authority on the basis of faith, so in front of the royal family, the religious taboo is naturally decided by the afifa.
Sasher was surprised not by the possibility of recognizing his relatives, but by the fact that his own man had brought home such an important person, and that Muslims saw this life as a foreshadowing of the next life, and Li Zhiken regarded his son as a righteous son, and was undoubtedly regarded by Klimah as a blessing from Allah.
After she still walked back with a look of disbelief, Li Zhi smiled and said: "Formal ceremonies or anything is good, those are just forms, there is an imam around Afifa, let her do a baptism, show Allah, that's it!" ”
Klimai didn't hesitate anymore, and it was not something that anyone could get into a relationship with the Holy Princess of Afifa.
Ibn looked up again and asked, "Uncle, do you want to treat me as a son?" After that, will you also lie on your mother's body and not get up! ”
Li Zhi waved his hand to stop Assher's anger again, "Ibn, uncle will be your godfather in the future, godfather knows?" It's only the two of us that have a relationship, it has nothing to do with your parents, let's not take them to play! ”
"So, what about Gidani? You have to take her with you, I love her so much! ”
As if understanding her brother's words, Gidani babbled in Sun Simiao's arms, and lifted herself to stroke Ibn's head.
Ibn leaned his head over, and in a moment his sister tossed her hair tous.
Fu Chen sighed, "Shouldn't I also ask for a wife?" It looks very cozy! ”
Jiyuan has always contradicted him, "You are in your forties, and you are still thinking about these, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed." ”
Fu Chen replied with a fierce look, "There are still people who have children again in the ancient years, why can't I marry a wife and have children?" Oh, by the way, you are an external body, although Taoism does not have strict restrictions in this regard, at your age, if you also have this intention, it will be a bit embarrassing to say it! ”
At that time, Quanzhen Religion had not yet appeared, but there was no such rule in Taoism, and roughly speaking, the north advocated monkhood, and the south most people chose to marry.
Because Taoism is a sect that arose in the context of a troubled era, in order not to revert the north back to a slave society, and in order to preserve the cultural lifeline, there is a consensus among the Taoist sects.
From the two Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the popular mode of cultivation is to enter the mountains to cultivate for two years, and then come back to marry a wife and have children.
Some people will say that the above is the true one, not the whole truth.
In fact, from the later Quanzhen sect, we can see the clues, the respected Lu Zu Lu Dongbin is also this way, and there are also couples among the seven sons of Quanzhen who marry first and then become monks.
Familiar with each other, at the suggestion of Li Zhi, everyone came to the Muslim restaurant opened by Krimai, and immediately the daughter and son-in-law of the family were about to fly away with them, and they had to say no to the elders in the family.
But I didn't want to, Li Zhi's unintentional move was originally an unintentional move, but he got a major opportunity from the old man named Vafeige.
Wafig is fifty years old, which is called the year of destiny in the Tang Dynasty, because after saying that after such an age, he knows the difficulty of realizing his ideals, so he no longer pursues results in doing things.
Apparently this is not the case with Wafig, who looks like an old naughty boy who can communicate with diners of any age and has a positive outlook.
Although he is an ordinary human body, his skills are extremely flexible, like the black tea that Arabs must drink every day, after Li Zhi and others came in, they saw him holding a tray in his palm, neatly going around among the people, and there was not much shaking of more than a dozen cups of black tea on the tray.
As everyone sat down, Klimai led his father to the back kitchen and explained what had happened.
Li Zhi and the others looked at the black tea in front of them.
Arabs are good at cooking, the food is rich and colorful, their meals are characterized by sweet, fragrant and greasy, and black tea is an indispensable drink every day.
But the problem is that they like a cup of black tea mixed with half a cup of sugar, the kind of color that looks greasy and greasy, which makes Li Zhi and the others very hesitant, not to drink it, and afraid of losing their manners.
Fortunately, as soon as the fried pigeons, baked fish, and roasted whole sheep came up, they suddenly lightened their minds a lot.
At this time, I saw the magical fate between Ibn and Li Zhi, the little guy who was less than three years old, the next moment he reached out and grabbed a piece of roast mutton and handed it to Li Zhi's mouth, "Uncle, you help me taste it first, my grandfather's skills are good, but he always let me eat salty!" ”
The humane adult measures made Li Zhi feel a little surprised for a while, this child was too mature, and he was not completely able to speak such words.
In ancient times, any nation was quite particular about etiquette, and without the invitation of the host, or the opening remarks and toasts, it was not possible to move the dishes, especially the hand-grasped food such as roasted whole sheep.
When a child doesn't need this kind of etiquette, he understands very well that the little guy knows what the situation is, and he wants to express his love for Li Zhi as soon as possible, so he found such a reason.
Sun Simiao, who was still holding Ji Dani, smiled and sighed, "This kid is really a good person, and he is kind-hearted, and I am very optimistic about him!" ”
Although he didn't see anything special in Iben's body like Li Zhi and Fu Chen, he figured out something from Li Zhi's initiative to recognize his relatives, so he said this.
Li Zhi nodded, but his mouth was busy receiving the mutton that was handed over, and the love in his eyes was obvious.
Fu Chen looked at Sasher, pointed to the black tea and asked, "For the Tang people, this kind of tea is too sweet, but if you don't drink it, will it not be good?" ”
Sasher shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter, although my wife said that she grew up in this family, in fact, she tends to be more local in life and food, she doesn't like to drink sweetened food very much, black tea or coffee is the courtesy of Arabs, whether to drink or not is the freedom of the guests, no one cares about this!" ”
At this time, Li Zhi was already holding the piece of mutton to feed Ibn in the end, in the end, he was a child, and after performing it, he couldn't resist the temptation of food.
Ji Dani's small eyes were originally dripping, but at this time, she had already stared at her brother's rapidly squirming mouth, and did not forget to stretch out her little hand to pull Sun Simiao's beard, babbling in a hurry.
Krimai, who came in a hurry, hurriedly picked up the child from Sun Simiao's arms and introduced his father to everyone.
Vafig kept rubbing his hands tightly on his body, as if he was afraid of oil stains on his hands, which was actually caused by the nervousness after learning Li Zhi's identity.
Just as ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty have to retreat to the side of the road when they meet high-ranking officials and dignitaries on the road, the Arab Empire's concept of respect and inferiority is also extremely strict, and the tension caused by fear is no exception to the old and sophisticated restaurant owner.
Li Zhi hurriedly got up and let the man sit down, and soon, his grandfather's restraint drew a mocking giggle from Ibn .
With the children involved, the old man finally stopped holding on so tightly.
Coffee was brought from time to time, and because the Arab countries believed in Islam and Islam advocated the prohibition of alcohol, the brewing industry in the Arab countries was declining day by day, and it is now almost banned.
The precepts forbade the faithful to drink alcohol, and it was popular in Arabia to decoct dried coffee beans into a soup and use it as a stomach medicine.
Cultists found this coffee juice to have a refreshing effect and used it as an uplifting alternative to alcohol.
