"It's nothing more than worshiping eminent monks' relics or golden statues!"

Li Liang replied, and then said suspiciously: "But for some reason, since I came to Beijing, it has been very rare to see Yinxuan Temple open its gates and welcome believers. However, its financial resources are so strong that it has not been seen doing much construction for half a year.

Stop?"

"Why else? The emperor didn't like Mahayana and forbade him to open a forum to preach, so it was so deserted. But don't forget, this Baimei was the predecessor of Zhaoxuan Datong, with countless disciples and disciples, and a lot of believers. If he wants money, he can't pay for it.

Simple?"

Li Chengzhi pointed to the mansion a mile away, "That's Jia Can. As a fifth-grade Taste Medicine Quyu, he can be called the emperor's confidant. Wasn't he almost cut off by the old monk?"
p>

"It's Mahayana?"

Li Liang asked curiously, "I wonder if I have anything to do with Liu Huiwang and Liu Huizhen from Jingzhou?"

"You really dare to think about it?"

Li Chengzhi sneered and said, "Before the current emperor ascended the throne, seven of the ten Buddhist temples believed in Mahayana. Otherwise, how could we say 'a good Mahayana school'? There are more than a million temples in the country. According to you, wouldn't they all be successful?"

Rebellious? Don’t be far-fetched..."

As soon as the words "far-fetched" came out of his mouth, Li Chengzhi was stunned.

Yuan Yi laughed and said that the ministers were kneeling around the stove, just like the Zoroastrian worshiping the fire. Only then did he remember: In addition to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, there are a lot of chaotic religions in Luoyang. In order to compete for believers, you will learn from them today.

, tomorrow he will learn from you, how to be fashionable, how to attract believers, how to come, there will be a lot of chaos.

Including this Yinxuan Temple, I have been worshiping the fire for a long time...

"How could I forget when did these monks stop chanting sutras in the middle of the night?"

"It seems that the ice production stopped not long ago..."

Li Liang thought for a moment and suddenly remembered, "I remembered that it should be August Dingwei (the sixth day of August), and the eight wells in the house dried up at the same time. It happened to be that night, the monk of Yinxuan Temple

I didn’t worship the fire and chant sutras...

The old man (Li Xie) once joked: Could it be that the gang of thieves next door did some magic to make the well dry..."

Li Chengzhi had an impression of this. After only working for more than an hour, the water in the well was full, as if by magic.

Li Chengzhi concluded at that time that what should be the cause of the sudden drop in groundwater levels.

But what does this have to do with the monk suddenly not worshiping fire?

There seems to be a thread popping up in my mind, but I can’t catch it?

Just as he was thinking hard, he suddenly heard a loud shout in the distance: "Lang Jun...Lang Jun, the head of the family has entered the capital and has arrived at the mansion..."

When I looked up, I saw that it was Li Cong, urging the horse hard.

Father is here?

Li Chengzhi was overjoyed and urged Li Liang: "Quickly...quickly..."

……

After not seeing each other for several months, Li Shixian has lost a lot of weight. His belly, which originally looked like he was six months pregnant, has long since disappeared, and his cheeks are thinner and darker.

But people are much more energetic. Although the carriages and horses are tired and covered with stars and moons, their faces are majestic, their tiger eyes are shining, and they are not angry.

He was sitting on a grand master's chair, rocking back and forth, exclaiming: "This traitor just likes these weird tricks when he doesn't do business?"

"Who said Chengzhi won't do serious things?"

Guo Yuzhi complained, "In less than a year, he has already graduated from the fifth rank, which is two ranks higher than you!"

Li Shixian burst out laughing with a sneer: "Even if you are ranked among the three nobles and have a first-class official position, what's the use of it?"

With just this sentence, Guo Yuzhi was pushed up against the wall. The pretty face that was originally smiling suddenly fell down.

"If the world is always peaceful, why would you do... such things as confiscate your family and exterminate your clan?"

Li Shixian sighed sadly: "If there were always peace officers, who would be willing to take risks..."

Halfway through, there was a noise outside the door, and Li Shixian naturally stopped talking. Then he saw three or five maids carrying square plates, hot wine, milk tea, preserved meat, dried fruits and the like into the central hall.

Guo Yuzhi calmed down, forced a smile and said: "Let's use some first, I have asked Li Xie to prepare meals..."

Li Shixian nodded slightly, glanced at it inadvertently, and frowned.

There are five maids, the eldest looks about twelve or thirteen, and the youngest is probably only ten years old. And all of them are sallow and skinny, as thin as a bamboo pole. If they weren't wearing colorful skirts and double-ringed buns, they might even be male and female.

Not coming out.

Just when she was unhappy, another person came into the hall. Yingying looked at Li Shixian and said, "I have seen... I have seen my father-in-law!"

Although Zhang Jingmo is just a concubine, is she the concubine of his legitimate son?

The call of father-in-law made Li Shixian's eyes narrow into slits, and he quickly called out: "Hurry up, Mo Duoli..."

But he only said five words, and the rest seemed to be stuck in his throat, and Li Shixian's eyes suddenly popped out.

Zhang Jingmo... actually wears a swallow-tail bun (also known as a hundred-flower bun, a hairstyle for unmarried women in ancient times)?

Moving his lips, Li Shixian asked after a long time: "You still...haven't you bowed to each other yet (referring to the husband and wife bowing to each other on the wedding night, which is the last of the six rituals and the most important one)?"

Guo Yuzhi replied casually: "How can I pay my respects when you are not here?"

Fart!

If Zhang Jingmo had not been present, Li Shixian would have cursed violently.

This is a concubine, not a lady, so why do you have to wait for your grandfather to come to Beijing before you can have sex with her?

When a wealthy family took a concubine, only a carriage was brought into the house, and there were many guests who were not banqueting. What's more, Li Chengzhi and Zhang Jingmo had already completed five of the six rituals and were already known as husband and wife.

Otherwise, why would she dare to call her ‘father’?

Seeing the corners of Li Shixian's eyes twitching fiercely and the veins on his forehead gradually bulging, Guo Yuzhi secretly exclaimed: Is it going to be bad?

"I ordered Mr. Li to prepare the meal. You can keep an eye on it and let the cook prepare it more carefully..."

Zhang Jingmo was blessed again and went to the kitchen. Li Shixian gritted his teeth and used all his strength to suppress his anger: "I asked you to bring Jingmo to Beijing in advance for decoration?"

Your son doesn’t want to lose etiquette, what can I do?

Guo Yuzhi rolled her eyes at him and waved her hand: "Everyone, please step aside!"

Looking at the five maids filing out, Li Shixian's eyelids twitched: "That's all? Since you don't want to be rude and have to wait for grandpa to come before you can take your concubine into the house, how about Ji, how many houses have you taken?"<

/p>

Ji's status is lower than that of concubine, and she is not protected by law. She can be traded as goods and given as gifts. For example, Zhao Ji, who was originally Lu Buwei's concubine, was given to Ying Zheng, who was born after Ying Chu.

Therefore, there is no need to perform any six rituals...

What kind of girl is there?

Looking at the few bean sprouts leaving the main hall, Guo Yuzhi said melancholy: "Don't you know that rebellious nature, how can you take the daughter of such a bean bandit into your eyes? Even if you have someone you like, you won't be here until 17 or 18.

Nine times out of ten, those who marry people are prostitutes. But even the rich women have not entered the family. If you buy such a woman to come in, will the Li family have any reputation..."

Does that mean even Ji is not there?

Li Shixian felt a rush of blood surge into his heart, and his face turned purple.

At this moment, a shout of joy sounded outside the door: "Father..."
