Chapter 4753 Good Luck

Yuan Daozhang said: "October eighteenth every year is Empress Houtu's birthday."

"Houtu Niangniang is the fourth heavenly emperor among our Taoist gods. She is in charge of yin and yang and nurtures all things. She is also known as the mother of the earth."

"We set the day for the consecration of the Taoist temple to be on this day, which can be regarded as respect for Empress Houtu. What do you think, Mrs. Luo?"

Yang Ruoqing naturally had no objection, "Daoist Yuan, you are an insider, I think the date you set is very good, let's make it eighteen, and it will come rain or shine!"

The two sides talked happily, and then dispersed.

In the village, news about the consecration of the Taoist temple on October [-] was released quickly.

In two or three days, it quickly spread to eight villages ten miles away, and even Qingshui Town, thirty miles away, knew about it.

So much so that when Yang Ruoqing went to the county town and passed through Qingshui Town, eating wontons at Zhang Ji Steamed Bun Shop at the entrance of the town, she heard the diners at the table next to her talking about it.

"Have you heard? The Taoist temple in Changping Village will be consecrated in about ten days. I have a relative who is in Changping Village. He sent me a message to ask NO.18 to play there. See The Taoist temple is enlightened."

"I've also heard about it. I heard that not only our Wanghai County, but also the famous Taoist priests in the Taoist temples in neighboring counties will invite them to come and do the chanting together with Mu Enguang."

"What you know is nothing. I have a younger brother who is a carpenter. He has been working in the Taoist temple in Changping Village. I heard him come back and say that the upside-down building in Changping Village is really magnificent. There are several people in it. There are two halls, each larger than the other, enshrining gods from all walks of life. When the light is consecrated, the incense will definitely be at its peak. My mother-in-law said that NO.18 will also go to the consecration ceremony on that day. The first [-] people will burn incense and pray , I heard it is the most effective..."

"Is there still such a saying? Then I'm going to try my luck. When the time comes, I'll get a consecrated amulet for my son to wear..."

After hearing all these words, Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips in satisfaction.

I glanced at the table where the people who were talking were sitting. There were steamed buns, noodles, and a large plate of fried dough sticks on the table.

Yang Ruoqing got up and walked out of the shop. When paying the bill, she told the boss, "Add the expenses of that table together, and send them a plate of tea eggs. You don't have to change for the extra change."

She is a frequent visitor to this bun shop, and the owner of the bun shop knew her well in the first two years.

Later, when she opened Tianxianglou and came to this steamed stuffed bun shop again, the boss knew her true identity.

Not only the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower, but also the wife of the Great General of the National Defense.

When she got on the horse, the boss saw the two taels of silver in his hand, and his mouth crooked with joy.

He hurriedly brought a plate of delicious tea eggs to this table: "Guest officers, your tea eggs are here!"

A few people were discussing about going to watch the consecration ceremony on No. 18, and they were surprised to see this extra plate of tea eggs on the table.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, shaking their heads to express that they didn't order.

"Shopkeeper, did you make a mistake? None of our brothers ordered tea eggs!" One of them said.

The shopkeeper put the veil on his shoulders and said with a smile: "The luck of the guests is not bad today. This plate of tea eggs was invited by someone else. Besides, the expenses on the table of the guests have already been bought by others." Checkout!"

"What?"

Several people were dumbfounded, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they all looked around.

Which kind-hearted and rich person is kind?
The shopkeeper said again: "Everyone, don't look for it, and don't ask. In short, it's right that he is a big man. The guest officer eats and drinks well. If you have anything to do, I will tell you. I will go to work first."

By the time the shopkeeper left, the few people hadn't recovered from the shock and joy.

"It seems that this NO.18 is really a good omen to go to the consecration ceremony. Look, we just talked about this today, and the benefits will fall on us. NO.18, maybe there will be more What's more beneficial!" One of them said.

Others also echoed: "Yes, when the time comes, let's go together and bring our little ones."

Yang Ruoqing went to the restaurant in the town first, and told Chef Zhou and several stewards about this matter.

"The restaurant is closed for two days on the 78th and [-]th. If you are free, you can take your family to the Taoist temple to have fun," she told several supervisors.

Then I discussed with Chef Zhou alone: ​​"Uncle Zhou, others can rest for those two days, but you have to help me for those two days, I'm tired!"

Chef Zhou smiled: "Tell me, what can Uncle Zhou do for you?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "The consecration ceremony of NO.18 will invite many priests from other Taoist temples, and people from the yamen will also come. Naturally, we must prepare fast food and vegetables to entertain them."

"The food this time is different from others, and the guests are also different. I'm afraid it won't work if I ask the aunts and aunts in the village to cook, so I want you to bring a few of the back kitchen guys from our restaurant to help me Support the scene."

Hearing this, Chef Zhou was overjoyed.

"Qing'er, Uncle Zhou, I have held a spatula handle all my life. I don't know how many banquets I have prepared. This is really the first time I have cooked vegetarian food in a Taoist temple. Haha, I think it is very fresh. Cheng, this Uncle Zhou agreed. I will take the time to draw up the menu in the past few days and show it to you. If you think it will be done, I will ask someone to prepare the ingredients in advance. We will go to prepare for NO.17 and promise not to delay NO. 18 is a big deal!"

The food and grass went ahead before the soldiers and horses were mobilized, and with Chef Zhou's guarantee, Yang Ruoqing was more than half at ease now.

Then she can go to the county town with peace of mind and find the county magistrate to post an invitation post.

When Yang Ruoqing went to the county seat, she explained to Yang Huazhong and the Sun family that she might not be able to make it back on the tenth day of the new year. If she didn't come back on the tenth day of the new year, she would go to the cattle dealer's house to present the new house for the inauguration ceremony, and Luo Tiejiang and Wang Cuilian would replace her .

Xiaoduo married into the Xiang family, and in the future there will be no business or courtesy with the other houses of Lao Yang's family, but she still has to keep in touch with her sister Yang Ruoqing.

Therefore, when Yang Ruoqing arrived at the county seat, she didn't panic and went to Tianxiang Tower to find Yang Yongjin to settle down.

"Second brother, the restaurants in the town will be closed on the 78th and [-]th, but the county will not be closed. If you are willing to make a trip, you can go home and play for two days, and visit my second sister-in-law and the children by the way." Yang Ruoqing said.

Bamei Cao is more than eight months old, she is old, and she has two daughters with her. Although Xiuxiu, the eldest daughter, is 11 years old and can help Bamei Cao with a lot of housework, the younger one is only five or six years old, and Bamei Cao is standing up. With a big belly, the three mothers lived upstairs with Yang Yongjin in the county town, which was noisy and inconvenient.

So Dasun's family and Xiaojie's father strongly urged Bamei Cao to go back to the village to raise a baby. Anyway, Yang Yongjin and Bamei Cao also built a new house by the road at the entrance of the village. The three mothers live comfortably!
