Manbao not only worshiped Master Tianzun at home, but also went to the Taoist temple on the mountain to worship him.
The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple especially welcomed Qian and his daughter, mainly because Qian always brought a basket of eggs every time he came. Moreover, because of the publicity of the old Zhou family, the Taoist temple is now famous in this area, and it is celebrated every year during the holidays.
There are many people who go up the mountain to worship the gods.
Occasionally, more people go to Taoist temples when they encounter difficulties.
When there are more people, the incense will flourish, and when the incense is strong, their lives will become better and better.
For this reason, the Taoist temple also has business relationships with the old doctors at the foot of the mountain. Sometimes when people come to the mountain to worship the gods because of their illness, the Taoist priests will give some medicinal materials to the believers to take back.
There were too many people coming, but there was not enough medicinal materials. They did not go to the county town often and rarely dealt with the county medicine shop, so they cooperated with the old doctor down the mountain.
Anyway, the medicines used by the old doctor at home are either collected and concocted by himself or purchased directly from other medicine farmers. Only some medicines that are not available in the hands of local medicine farmers go back to the county to buy them.
But because he is a regular customer, the price for his medicine is cheaper than theirs.
Because of this series of changes, Taoist Temple was happy to follow the Qian family and put Manbao in their group, and even helped publicize it.
So now not only the nearby villages in Qili Village know that the old Zhou family has a fairy reincarnated doll, but even people as far away as Baimaguan Town have heard about it.
As soon as Manbao went up the mountain, he was surrounded by people. Then the old Taoist priest Shouqing quietly said to Qian: "Master Qian, Manbao is thirteen years old, right?"
Qian smiled and said: "She was born late, she is thirteen."
"You can say we're married," Shouqing sighed, and then he mentioned a family in Baimaguan Town and said with a smile: "...the family has a floor and a shop, and an only son. I feel a lot of pain in my heart, and I want to find one.
Blessed daughter-in-law."
Qian declined lightly and said: "There are quite a few children in our town who have spiritual energy and good fortune. It shouldn't be difficult to find them."
Talking about Man Bao again: "This child likes to study, and she is currently serving her husband while studying in Yizhou City with her fourth brother. We also feel that she is young, especially her father, who feels sorry for her as an old girl and wants to have hairpins.
We won’t talk about marriage until later. Once we say marriage, we will stay for another two or three years.”
Shouqing understood.
Man Bao said that he was actually thirteen years old, but he would not turn twelve until Dongyue, so he was still young. He would wait until he got his hairpin to propose marriage. Even if they could make a decision that year, they would stay for another two years...
I'm afraid the husband's children in the town are all good at it.
But in fact, there are quite a few people asking about Manbao from him. This family is a little bit impatient to wait, but other people...
If a family has a girl, it's like this. If you don't make a decision early, all the good girls will be snatched away.
So Shouqing was not discouraged, but instead stroked his beard and asked Qian with a smile, "Have you ever thought about what kind of son-in-law you would like in the future?"
He smiled and said: "In the past two years, the incense in our Taoist temple has been strong, and more and more people have come here to burn incense. Occasionally, there are also people from the county. They have heard about the blessings of Manbao, and they can't help but ask a few questions.
…”
Qian understood what he meant and smiled: "Since when did the Taoist priest also serve as a matchmaker?"
She thought for a while and then said: "My requirements and those of the head of the family are not high. As long as he is a child with good character and a harmonious family, it doesn't matter what he wants. Just one thing. Our family, Manbao, has been studying since he was a child, so naturally he needs a child."
It’s better to be able to read, otherwise it will be so miserable if we can’t live together in the future.”
Shouqing twitched the corner of his mouth, isn't this high?
Putting aside the soft conditions of good conduct, the requirements for harmony in the family are quite high: a loving father and a filial son, harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, respectful brothers and sisters, harmony among sisters...
This one blow wiped out so many homes.
Furthermore, you must be able to read.
Those who can afford to read must have a good family background, and they must be stupid enough to be able to read. Then they must keep reading, keep reading, at least go to the county town, right?
Shouqing did the math in his mind, and kept removing and removing the households that had registered with him. In the end, there were only a few households left, and they were all from the town and county.
This is just excluding the requirement of being able to read, plus the first two conditions...
Shou Qing is so confused, why is it so difficult to be a matchmaker?
Dao He and Man Bao were squatting in the vegetable garden in the backyard of the Taoist temple talking. He had grown up a lot now and was already a teenager.
He looked at his former friend and said, "My master wants to marry you."
Man Bao was eating the pear he shared with her. She almost choked on the juice. She pointed at her nose and asked in disbelief: "Me?"
Dao He nodded, "Many people will ask about you when they come to offer incense. Some people are just curious, while others want to ask you to become their daughter-in-law. Uncle Shou Fang said that they are covetous of your blessings."
Man Bao said: "My fourth brother didn't even say we were married."
"What's the big deal? I'm not asking you to get married right away."
Man Bao shook his head, "I don't want to get engaged. Getting married is boring. I'm still a child."
Dao He looked at her without saying anything.
Man Bao stared at him.
Dao He could only look away and asked: "Where are your two junior brothers? Are they engaged?"
Man Bao shook his head, "No, they are still children. The pilgrims in your Taoist temple are so ferocious that you even targeted them?"
Dao He shook his head and said, "It's not them, it's you."
He said: "I think you should just choose one of them to get engaged. Uncle Shoucai often said, kill the familiar rather than the living. It's not that you can't do it anyway, so just choose one of them. I saw you last time
You guys, I saw you beating them, I thought, since you are so tough, they won't be able to bully you after marriage, but it will be different when you go to someone else's house."
Man Bao was stunned, "You, you are only two years older than me, why do you think so much?"
Dao He sighed, looked up and said: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, the more you see, the more you think. You are my good friend, otherwise I would not have said these words."
Man Bao asked: "What did you see?"
Dao He looked up at the sky at 45 degrees and sighed sadly.
Daoxu picked up some water to water the vegetables. He smiled and said, "Man Bao, please ignore him. His little head has too many things on his mind all day long."
He said: "This year, Uncle Shoucai took him to the front to learn how to treat guests, and then he got this sentimental disease."
"What are you sentimental about? This is my real feeling." Daohe took back his head looking up at the sky and said to Manbao: "You don't know, eight out of ten pilgrims who come to offer incense are women, and they ask for almost nothing.
It’s all about family.”
"Praying for children, asking for a progressive husband, asking for filial piety from children and grandchildren, asking for peace in the family, and asking for success in the children are all for family harmony."
