Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 1877

  They prepared for Yuanlie. As soon as Xiemu went home, Bai Shan got into his own storeroom, and finally found a statue of Buddha in one box, and a statue of Lao Tzu in another box, all made of jade.

  There are many Buddha statues, but there are also two statues of Lao Tzu.

  Bai Shan carefully compared it, and took away the smallest one, only one and a half feet tall, like Lao Tzu.

  The steward guarding the warehouse saw the young master holding out this statue of Lao Tzu, immediately stretched out his hand to protect it, and cautiously said: "Master, this is carved by Mo jade. What are you doing with it?"

  Bai Shandao: "Give it away."

  The manager was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Does the old lady know?"

  Bai Shandao: "I will know soon."

   Then he wrote down the things he took out on the list, and ran away holding the things after the painting was postponed.

  The manager couldn't stop it, so he quickly took the book and stuffed it in his arms, then locked the storeroom and ran to report to the old lady.

  The statue of Lao Tzu was specially made by the old lady. It used the rare and excellent black jade, which was more than ten times more valuable than the three-foot-tall sapphire statue of Lao Tzu.

  Young Master chose the best one.

  I heard that the old lady took that old man as if she wanted to give it away.

  Lao Mrs. Liu is indeed planning to take Lao Tzu as a gift. It is the old lady of Zhang's family friend of their Bai Liu family.

  Old Mrs. Zhang gave his son the position of patriarch a few years ago, and went to ask for help.

Now that Bai Shan is about to grow up, she will have to go back to her home after a few years of study, so she has to start business in Longzhou, at least to make people who forget their grandparents and despise them remember again. They, value them.

  This way they won’t be humiliated when they return to Longzhou to make a decision.

  The black jade was found before the winter last year. It was bought at a high price, and a well-known craftsman was invited to carve it carefully. It took more than two months to sculpt it.

  Lao Mrs. Liu took the booklet and glanced at it. It was indeed the grandson’s signature and painting, she put it down, smiled and asked, "Who is he going to give it to?"

  The steward shook his lips and whispered: "Master didn’t say anything. The younger one only saw Master go to Miss Man..."

  The whole family knows that the Zhou family also believes in Lao Tzu, and from time to time they talk about Master Tianzun.

Mrs. Liu knows that her grandson and Man Bao are half-believe and half-unbelief with the Taishang Laojun. Let’s say they believe, deep down in their hearts, they don’t really believe that ghosts and gods will help them; don’t believe them, and make wishes with ghosts and gods from time to time. , And every worship is very pious.

  Lao Mrs. Liu shook her head and smiled, and said to the steward: "Forget it, as soon as he takes it, give it to him."

Those two children, when worshiping Lao Tzu, they could simply paint a portrait by themselves. They would not even pay 20 cents to buy a portrait from the Taoist temple. Take it away, I'm afraid it has other great uses.

  The manager was taken aback, and quickly responded, and then bowed back.

  Zheng waited for him to leave before asking anxiously, "Mother, that old grandfather’s birthday gift..."

"Look for another gift," Mrs. Liu smiled: "There are more than one statue of Lao Tzu in this world, and what's the urgency? There are still more than two months before his birthday. The two children may be two days later. I'm back."

  Not much time, Bai Shan ran over to explain to Mrs. Liu. He also knew that the old man seemed to be giving away his life, but he planned to borrow it first, "I will return it to my grandmother in fifty days."

  Lao Mrs. Liu frowned and asked, "You still want to take it into the palace?"

  Bai Shan nodded, "It's easier to fragrant like this."

Mrs. Liu rubbed her forehead and asked, "Can you bring it in?"

  Bai Shan said, "Man Bao asked Duke Wu for help, it's not a big problem."

  Not only do they have to bring them in, they will bring them out again next time they take a break, and they will bring them in again when they enter the palace...

  Anyway, it is a pious look.

  As a foreign minister, Zhou Man occasionally carried this statue of Lao Tzu in and out of the palace gate. After all, she could give it away as an excuse for her own use, but such frequent entry and exit was obviously impossible.

  Who knows what the **** she is doing?

  So even the guards who have a good relationship with her, be cautious, after one or two times, they will not agree to her holding that thing in and out.

  But it's different with the endorsement of Duke Wu.

  Behind Duke Wu stood the prince. The prince was like entering the palace towards the east palace. The prince agreed, and the guards would naturally not be too obstructed.

  So, when he entered the palace again, Bai Shan held a box in his arms. Duke Wu personally came to pick up the people, and then he registered at the guard, indicating that the statue of Lao Tzu had to go in and out several times.

  This made the guards check more carefully. If it weren’t allowed, they would have liked to smash the jade carving to see if there was something inside.

Man Bao looked at them and sympathized with them, and after he took things into the palace, he still said to Wu Gonggong: "They are also really pitiful. There are so many strange and ingenious things in this world. If one does not check carefully and misses something to enter the palace, Is that their responsibility?"

  Duke Wu: "...Dr. Zhou Xiao, you are the one they are checking now."

  Man Bao didn’t realize it at all, and he nodded and said, “I’m a good person and I never carry anything into the palace.”

  Bai Shan, who was holding the box, nodded slightly, thinking that it was because the things she wanted to carry could be held by Uncle Zhou, but she could use it for all roads.

  Only this time they need to show it to others, otherwise he thinks it shouldn’t be difficult for Uncle Zhou to bring this jade sculpture into the palace.

  Duke Wu was also very interested in their portrait of Lao Tzu, and asked, "Doctor Zhou Xiao, why don't you send things to the Taoist temple to consecrate, but to consecrate yourself?"

  Man Bao said solemnly: "I am more sincere and more agile."

  Wu Gonggong didn’t know if he believed it or not, anyway, he didn’t care after he sent the person to Chongwen Hall, but he still paid more attention to her.

  Although he knows that Zhou Man should not harm others and him, it is still a matter of relationship after all, so I still need to pay more attention.

  Man Bao and Bai Shan placed the statue of Lao Tzu on the east, then placed the box in front of the statue of Lao Tzu, twisting three sticks of incense to incense it.

  Bai Shan and Bai Erlang saw each other, and they were accustomed to worshipping. After a while, Lao Tzu made nine incense sticks in front of the statue.

   Baijiro asked, "You still have to recite sutras?"

   "It's okay, I will recite for half an hour after I come back to wash, and I will recite for half an hour in the morning."

Bai Erlang always felt that her attitude was perfunctory, but she was very pious to the people in the palace. The palace maid who served her every morning and evening saw Zhou Man sitting on her knees when she poured her cleansing water and took dirty clothes. Lao Tzu chants religiously like before.

  She doesn't need to turn the scriptures, she can swell and frustrate with her eyes slightly closed, and she pronounces every word clearly.

  The maid thought that Master Zhou Xiao was very powerful, so it didn’t take a few days, and many people in the palace knew about it.

  　See you at six in the afternoon
