my wife is god catcher

Chapter 323 Gong Xi Fa Cai, Bring the Red Envelope

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, get up and pay New Year's greetings.

Logically speaking, the most important thing to do now is to quickly tidy up your appearance, meet up with a few brothers and friends, and then walk around the streets and alleys to pay New Year's greetings from house to house.

However, Wu Zetian was overjoyed by a big victory at the end of last year, and decided to hold a sacrifice to heaven today to pray for blessings.

Last night, he was promoted to a third-rank official. Although it was only a vacant post, the Ministry of Rites had already delivered the purple official uniform.

Although these virtual positions have no real power, but a third-rank official is a third-rank official, and the treatment they deserve will not be less, and they can stand a little higher.

Li Jinyu didn't feel anything about it, and even wanted to stand back a bit so that no one would pay attention to her.

He was even going to sleep in a daze, and he would follow what the people in front did.

Su Ying liked it very much.

She is not a person who covets power, but this is the position she loves the most, and she has earned it through her own efforts.

At such a young age, by virtue of his achievements on the battlefield, he was awarded the title of marquis, a third-rank member of the imperial court. How could it not make people feel happy?How can you not be proud?
It seems that a series of empty jobs can actually take the entire Jinling into its pocket. It is not an exaggeration to say "Jinling King", and it makes people feel proud of it.

Carefully changing clothes for Li Jinyu, Su Ying reminded: "New year and new weather, when you participate in the ceremony of worshiping the heaven and praying for blessings, you must follow the rules."

Li Jinyu joked: "It's different when you get promoted, even Ying'er knows how to obey the rules."

Su Ying rolled her eyes: "Have no conscience, am I worried about you? Hurry up and go to court, I will take care of the family affairs, Yeyue can also help me."

Li Jinyu said: "Yes, my housekeeper!"

Su Ying said: "What kind of housekeeper is that the concubine you married for laziness, no, I don't even have the status of a concubine, you have no conscience."

How can Li Jinyu accept this?
In a hurry, she ran away quickly, leaving all the family matters to Su Ying.

Anyway, Su Ying has always held all the keys in the house, Tie Feihua is not very good at these, and Xu Yeyue and He Junqi have no idea in this regard.

This year's blessing ceremony was held at the White Horse Temple.

However, before Wu Zetian ascended the throne, she had to pretend to be gods and ghosts, one of which was "Maitreya reincarnation".

After ascending the throne, there are many preferential treatment for Fomen.

Those with a strong background in martial arts should be restrained, and those who practice meditation and recite Buddha all day will naturally be rewarded. For example, the Daxiangguo Temple and the Dawenshu Monastery have all received great rewards.

If it is said that the temple with the highest martial arts in Buddhism, it is naturally Shaolin Temple, but if it is said that the temple with the highest Buddhist martial arts, it must be the "White Horse Temple" in Luoyang City.

The reason is very simple. The White Horse Temple is the first government-run temple built after the introduction of Buddhism to China. It was built in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty and is the "source of Buddhism".

There are "ten ancient ancestors" in Baima Temple.

The first government-run temple - Baima Temple;

The first stupa - Qiyun Pagoda;

The first Han Chinese monk was ordained——Zhu Shixing;

The first Buddhist monk to learn Buddhist scriptures——Zhu Shixing;

The earliest eminent Indian monk who came to China lived here;

The earliest Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures "Beiye Jing" are collected in Baima Temple;
The earliest scripture translation dojo - Qingliangtai;

The first Chinese Buddhist scripture "42 Chapters" was translated in Baima Temple;

The first precepts in Chinese, "Seng Zhi Caution", was first translated in Baima Temple, and it was the first to set up an altar in Luoyang to pass on precepts;

The first battle between Buddhism and Taoism took place in the White Horse Temple.

After Empress Wu Zetian moved her capital to Luoyang, there were many awards for the White Horse Temple. Every year during the Yulan Basin Festival, she would offer incense and pray for blessings at the White Horse Temple.

The monks in the temple made preparations early, and the sound of chanting was endless. Although they couldn't understand Sanskrit, but with the aroma of sandalwood, it made people feel refreshed.

"Huaiying, you will be the head of the crown prince!"

This matter was settled a few days ago, Prince Li Xian was a little dissatisfied at first, but seeing that King Liang was not here, in comparison, he felt that it was no big deal.

Li Xian's idea was that he didn't ask for good performance or good treatment, as long as he was better than King Liang, as long as he was better than King Liang, that would be enough.

What a perfect idea!
Keep it up!

Better keep it for another five years!

Li Jinyu gave a thumbs up to Prince Li Xian!

Hearing Wu Zetian's order, Di Renjie immediately stepped forward, burned the watch with incense, and then recited the sacrifice to Tianwen.

"Your Majesty Di Renjie is the head of the current crown prince. Thank you, Your Majesty, the sage king of all ages. He taught Li and common people internally, governed prefectures and counties, harmonized with Rong and barbarians externally, and settled Bianhe.

Promoting water conservancy, emphasizing agriculture and mulberry, doing reclamation, accumulating good food, making public and private warehouses rich and people's livelihood rich!

Looking forward to the prince, inherit the ambition of the former emperor, follow the mission of the Holy Mother, manage the world, restore the magic weapon, abandon the wine and sex, do not be inferior to yourself, inspire great ambitions, be close to the virtuous and far away from the sycophant, and resolutely cut off power.

Live up to the emperor's trust, and live up to the ardent hopes of the ministers Li Shu..."

Li Jinyu was not familiar with the relevant etiquette, and he was standing in the front, so there was not much for reference, and he couldn't look left and right, so he could only sneak a glance from the corner of his eye.

Looking at Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi on the left, and Li Changhe, the Minister of War on the right, he found that there was no difference in the etiquette of civil and military officials, so he only stared at Zhang Jianzhi.

Zhang Jianzhi didn't know that Li Jinyu was taking pictures of cats and tigers, but felt that someone was staring at him all the time, making his back hairy, wondering if anyone would dare to make trouble today?
Not long after, Di Renjie finished reciting, the ministers shouted long live, and the monks also shouted long live, Wu Zetian made some "winning speeches", thanking the emperor, thanking the rich soil, thanking the ministers, thanking the weather...

Just when Li Jinyu was falling asleep, Wu Zetian loudly announced the end of the ceremony.

Wu Zetian went back to the palace to deal with state affairs, while the officials went home to prepare for New Year's greetings, or waited for someone to come to pay New Year's greetings. Even Di Renjie made an exception and took a day off.

After all, Di Renjie was full of peaches and plums, and there were a lot of New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year. If he was not at home all the time, it would not only look unattractive, but also make the emperor seem too strict.

Li Jinyu is not in a hurry to go back. After all, the few people who can let him go to pay New Year's greetings are basically here.

Before these people arrived home, it didn't matter whether Li Jinyu went back or not, it's better to take a good look at the White Horse Temple.

Originally, the strongest temple around Luoyang was of course the Jingnian Zen Temple of the Jingnian Zen School.

The Jing Nian Temple is rich and magnificent, and it is said that Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty liked luxury and pleasure. In fact, the magnificence of the Jing Nian Temple is even better than that of the imperial palace.

There are nine hundred and ninety-nine steps to enter the mountain alone. Inside is the white marble square, with five hundred statues of arhats, painted sculptures and golden ornaments of Manjusri Bodhisattva and the third Buddha, and the palace is made of three-color glazed tiles.

There is also a bronze hall with a width of three feet and a depth of three feet, a height of half a foot, and a wall two feet thick. Thousands of Buddha statues are engraved inside the palace, each of which is exquisitely crafted.

Living in a place more luxurious than the imperial palace, naturally cannot concentrate on practicing Buddhism. There are no monks in Jingnian Temple, only a group of ambitious people who want to control the world.

So the Jingnian Temple is gone.

It is completely gone in the land of the Central Plains.

Only some of the remaining lineages were driven to Qinghai and other places to compete with Tantra for believers and territory.

With the lessons of the Jingnian Temple, although the White Horse Temple has a long history, many royal titles, and great rewards, it has not been extensively expanded, and it is full of ancient flavors and Buddhist charms.

Such a place is the place where one can concentrate on cultivating the Buddha and seek inner liberation.

If you use the Yi Jin Jing, Washing Sui Jing and other unique secret books to practice here, I am afraid that you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Especially the Sutra of Washing the Marrow, this unique art specializes in the mystical technique, which can dispel the killing intent, stop fighting and fighting, if it is here, it can even weaken Li Jinyu's fighting spirit.

Hmm... Those who celebrate Chinese New Year don't want this!
Think of something happy!

If you think about martial arts, you might as well think about firecrackers!
It is said that Liu Fen Ban Tang was born in Thunder Mart, and he is very good at making firecrackers. I will ask for some later, and tonight I will have a good "killing the year with the sound of firecrackers".

Li Jinyu walked forward in a daze, relying only on her body's subconscious reaction, she would not bump into anyone.

Di Renjie suddenly said: "Jinyu! I'm talking to you! Did you go to bed late last night? Young people don't know how to restrain themselves, why are they so tired?"

Li Jinyu immediately said: "Uncle Di, you misunderstood this. It's not that you went to bed late, but that you were drowsy after listening to the scriptures. This thing really helps you sleep."

Zhang Jianzhi said: "These Buddhist scriptures are the whispered French of eminent monks and great virtues. Listening to them more is very good for inner cultivation, especially to dispel evil spirits."

Di Renjie said: "Cambodia, this little bastard is not talking about Buddhist scriptures, but me. He is saying that the ceremony is too complicated, which makes him feel very boring."

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Isn't it really a Buddhist scripture?"

Di Renjie said: "Of course not, this kid uses Buddhist mentality, comparable to a 80-[-]-year-old monk."

Li Jinyu made a vase seal with both hands.

"Uncle Zhang, I wish you a new year like the handprint of a vase, full of harmony and perfection."

Zhang Jianzhi said: "You are the only one to use this New Year's greeting. This is interesting, interesting!"

Li Jinyu rubbed her fingers.

Zhang Jianzhi scolded with a smile: "I only have this one piece of clothing on me, I don't have anything else! Why do you still need my two coins when you go out to pick up treasures?"

Li Jinyu said: "The New Year's red envelope is meant to be auspicious. How about I give you a nine-character mantra to wish you a happy New Year? I've thought about it for a long time."

"Nine-character mantra for New Year's greetings?"

Bend both hands pointing to the palms, the knuckles of the two fingers are staggered, the index finger is erected, and the fingertips are connected.

Li Jinyu quickly formed a bond with "Fudo Ming Wang Yin".

"Uncle Zhang, I wish you a new year as if you can't move the king's seal, like a mountain, standing still."

Put the thumbs of both hands together, clasp the middle finger backwards, wrap around the index finger, and form the "Great Vajra Wheel Seal".

"Uncle Zhang, I wish you a new year like the wheel of the Great Vajra, sweeping away dirt and evil spirits."

Before the words fell, Zhang Jianzhi ran away quickly just as he was about to tie the lion seal again. It's not that he couldn't hear the auspicious words, but that he really couldn't afford to give the red envelope
Li Jinyu smiled and said, "I still have the ability to make an old man in his 70s and [-]s run so fast! Uncle Di, do you want to try it too?"

With that said, Li Jinyu was about to form the Lion Seal.

Di Renjie scolded with a smile: "Back then, Master Zhenyan traveled all over the world to Buddhist temples and created the nine-character mantra for the purpose of cultivating himself and improving the realm of Zen."

Li Jinyu said: "I have a realm, I am a genuine great master, and the realm of martial arts is stronger than him!"

Di Renjie said: "This is the first time I heard that there is a great master who uses martial arts to ask for red envelopes."

Li Jinyu said: "What's the matter? Every industry has its own rules. Cooks rely on cooking, those who sell calligraphy rely on writing, and those who practice martial arts rely on martial arts?"

Di Renjie said: "You're the only one with a lot of nonsense!"

Li Jinyu said: "If you can say it clearly, then it's not unreasonable, and last night, you didn't see me dancing with martial arts? It's from the Huajian School!"

Di Renjie said: "I can't explain you with fallacies. Let me tell you something practical. My niece comes to visit me. You can take her to pay New Year's greetings later, and get to know acquaintances in the capital."

Li Jinyu said, "Your niece?"

Di Renjie said, "I can't have a niece?"

Li Jinyu hurriedly said: "Yes, it's so capable, is it appropriate for me to take it with me? How about I let Su Ying take it with me, or let Yeyue play with her."

Di Renjie said: "Xu Yeyue? Their temperaments are very similar, and they can play together."

Li Jinyu said: "Of course, I will make an appointment with Wen's eldest lady, Wen Wen, and then let them go to Shierfang, where the New Year is the most lively."

Di Renjie said: "Gentle that girl... that girl is best at causing trouble, if you break it, you will pay for it!"

Li Jinyu said: "What do you mean, what should I pay for? The junior sister caused trouble and the senior brother should bear it. If Yeyue breaks something, I will pay for it. If Gentle breaks it, Su Mengzhen will pay for it!"

Di Renjie said: "Su Mengzhen, hey, the Chinese New Year also makes him lively, hurry up later!"

……

Yuchi Mansion.

Yuchi Zhenjin was not on duty today, and Huan Bin, General Qianniuwei, was in charge of guarding the imperial city.

When Li Jinyu returned home, she immediately went to pay New Year's greetings to her parents with many beauties. The imperial decree of marriage had already been given, and although there was no preparation for the ceremony, there was no difference.

Yuchi Zhenjin was full of smiles, Mrs. Yuchi gave out a big red envelope, everyone got it, everyone was missing, even Jiang Yuyan and Liu Er got a share.

Because of Yingying and Yanyan by her side, there are fewer marriage urging programs this year, and it's not that they are missing, but this program is transferred to Yuchi Minglou and Yuchi Mingcheng.

Yuchi Minglou had expected this show a long time ago, and immediately went to pay New Year greetings to the elders after waking up, but he hasn't come back yet, leaving Yuchi Mingcheng to bear it alone.

During the Chinese New Year, beware of urging marriages.

After paying New Year's greetings to his parents, Li Jinyu took Tie Feihua and Su Ying to pay New Year's greetings to many elders.

Xu Yeyue, He Junqi, Jiang Yuyan, Liu Er, together with Di Renjie's niece Di Ruyan and Su Mengzhen's junior sister Wen Wenwen, went to Shierfang to play together.

A group of women need to carry bags when they go out.

There was Wang Xiaoshi following Wen Rou, Li Jinyu thought for a while, and fooled Li Yuanfang away.

Li Yuanfang thought that something had happened to Twelve Square, so she rushed over in a hurry, only to realize that she was carrying someone's bag, and she was so angry that she immediately went to Li Jinyu to settle the score.

Fortunately, there is Wang Xiaoshi who is full of bags by his side.

Wang Xiaoshi said: "General Li, although this time is lively, but dragons and snakes are mixed together, there may be some dangers, it is better to have someone to protect."

Wenrou stared at her eyes: "My lady's martial arts are superb, and I still need your protection!"

Wang Xiaoshi said in his heart that with your three-legged cat kung fu, I can eat with one hand and beat you with the other, and I can guarantee that no grain of rice will fall on the table.

I thought so, but I couldn't say it.

"If you encounter hooligans and hooligans, can you fight them? If I leave, you will have to carry so many packages by yourself."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Yuanfang again: "You have seen the situation, so you know why you can't leave!"

Li Yuanfang nodded helplessly in agreement.

Among these women, one is a troublemaker, one is a mischievous ghost, one is not familiar with the rules of the Central Plains, and there are two little girls who seem to be sensible but are actually troublemakers.

Although Ruyan doesn't know much about her, but looking at her lively and lovely big eyes, she knows that she is also a mischievous ghost.

In case someone who is not open-eyed comes up, these people are swords, flames, and poison. If they fall on the fireworks and firecrackers, the entire Twelve Squares will be turned upside down.

For the safety of Luoyang City, General Li had to compromise and took half of the package from Wang Xiaoshi.

Of course, he didn't just carry the bag. Li Yuanfang was going to have a good meal later, and then change into a new set of clothes and shoes, all of which would be credited to Li Jinyu.

……

First New Year greetings to Yue Zhang Tie Zhongtang, then to Di Renjie, then Zhang Jianzhi, Yao Chong...

After praying in circles, Li Jinyu's smiling face froze, but unconsciously, she walked near the Taiping Temple and felt the aura inside.

Tie Feihua said: "This is... Taiping Temple?"

Su Ying said: "Go to pay New Year's greetings to the princess? Isn't it too ostentatious? Won't you be criticized?"

Li Jinyu said: "There are so many New Year gifts for the princess every year, isn't it normal for me to go?"

Su Ying said: "But your surname is Li!"

Li Jinyu said: "There are many surnames Li, Li Yuanfang is also surnamed Li, and Li Kaigu is also surnamed Li."

Tie Feihua said: "Would it be dangerous if someone slandered the prince?"

Li Jinyu said: "Don't worry, the princess will solve all the slander for me, don't stop here, go in quickly to pay New Year's greetings, remember to ask for a big red envelope!"

Su Ying said: "It's almost full."

But a few days ago, Li Jinyu asked Su Ying to make a few small satchels according to the ladies' satchels of later generations.

Tie Feihua and Su Ying each brought one, which was already filled with red envelopes, all given by the elders.

In fact, Li Jinyu should only bring Tie Feihua with him, and it would be against the rules to take Su Ying with him, but if he didn't take Su Ying with him, he would really be in a debt.

Tie Feihua didn't care about this, and offered to take Su Ying to visit New Year's Eve together. After all, she already had a marriage decree, so there was no need to argue about other aspects.

In case someone gossips, saying that the majestic Mrs. Hou, the third-rank imperial order, is so jealous.

Horses and horses gathered outside the Taiping Temple, and there was an endless stream of people who came to give gifts, but most of them were not qualified to enter, so they could only leave their gifts, and the maids would record them all.

Li Jinyu was more powerful, not only entered the Taiping Temple empty-handed, but also prepared to make a small fortune.

……

"My nephew sends my aunt a New Year's greeting, I wish my aunt good fortune forever, youth forever, everything goes smoothly, smiles often, five blessings come to the door, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes!"

After listening to Li Jinyu's words, Tie Feihua and Su Ying realized why Li Jinyu said those words just now.

It turned out that the two had known each other for a long time, and it wasn't the kind of fog that covered them, but they spoke directly.

The princess and the minister are naturally somewhat estranged, but the aunt and nephew are blood relatives. Princess Taiping will completely smooth over some taboos for Li Jinyu.

With a flash of thought, Tie Feihua and Su Ying hurried forward to pay New Year's greetings to Princess Taiping, calling themselves "nephew and daughter-in-law".

Princess Taiping smiled and said: "Okay, okay, okay, crossing the battlefield, beating the enemy chiefs, invincible, and powerful in the world, you are indeed a good man of my Li family, and the two daughters are also good wives of my Li family!"

Li Jinyu said: "My aunt has won the prize."

Princess Taiping said: "At this age, to achieve such achievements, perhaps only Emperor Taizong, the ancestors of my Li family, is stronger than you."

Li Jinyu said: "Thank you, aunt, for your compliment."

Princess Taiping said: "I am completely at ease with you now, you can do what you like, and I will deal with some difficult bits and pieces for you!"

Li Jinyu said: "Thank you again, aunt."

Princess Taiping said: "Feihua, don't be so born with me. The house and bedding of Luoyang Flower Club are all given by me. Are those things still useful?"

Turning to look at Su Ying again: "I have heard that my nephew has kidnapped a fairy-like peerless doctor from somewhere, and I have wanted to see it for a long time. When I saw it today, it really is a stunning fairy. My nephew is so lucky." !"

Li Jinyu coughed lightly twice.

Unlike Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi, Princess Taiping is a real rich and local tyrant.

The niece and daughter-in-law are here, of course Princess Taiping will not be stingy, not only a big red envelope for each person, but also a secret Yin Gui technique for beauty.
