Li Ganfeng then asked his wife to accompany Xue Tao and his mother Han to the Jinshen Pavilion to rest and drink tea. Li Ganfeng returned to the lobby. Before he entered the lobby, he heard a commotion in the lobby, and faintly heard Tianshi Lu Li shouting, "Since
If they all decide like this, then I have nothing to say, just don’t blame me in the future!”
Li Ganfeng smiled and walked into the lobby with his hands behind his hands, "I'll arrange for everyone to stay first! If you have time, you can visit Chang'an City. Today happens to be the Lantern Festival, so you can look at the lanterns in the evening."
Tianshi Lu Li waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I would like to ask Palace Master Li, what are your plans to arrange after buying Xuanhu Palace?"
"Well... first of all, it is natural to change the name of Xuanhu Palace to Qingxu Temple. They are both of the Kongtong lineage. Do you have any objections?"
This result was as expected by everyone. The collapse of Lingji Cave also destroyed Qingxu Temple, and Qingxu Temple was resurrected in this way.
"Then what? Can the original Taoist priest stay?" Master Lu Li asked again.
"I plan to make my eldest disciple Wu Ning Zhenren the abbot of Qingxu Palace in Kongtong Mountain. As for the original Taoist priests, it is not impossible to stay, but the premise is that they must regard my master as their ancestor."
Li Ganfeng saw the other party's angry look and said calmly: "Everything is done voluntarily. There is no force. If you don't want to change the palace, you can go to the Red Ape Palace or the Qingbai Temple."
Master Lu Litian sighed. It was reasonable to think about it. The Taoist temple was owned by someone else. How could the Taoist priests inside still be disciples of Zixiao Tiangong?
Tianshi Lu Li nodded, "We have already discussed that we will transfer Xuanhu Palace to Qingxu Palace according to the price offered by Li Gongzhong."
Li Ganfeng chuckled, "Then please settle down first. We will sign the agreement first and go to Taichang Temple to record the changes the day after tomorrow."
.........
The first floor of Jinshen Pavilion is where distinguished guests rest and wait. Zhang Nianhui accompanied Xue Tao and her daughter to drink tea and chat. At this time, Li Ganfeng's eldest disciple Wu Ningzhenren stepped forward and saluted: "Master, you are ready!"
Master Wu Ning was the first disciple Li Ganfeng accepted on his way to the capital. He was honest and honest, respected his master and ancestors very much, and loved his juniors very much. He won Li Ganfeng's trust. After the Golden Body Pavilion was repaired, Li Ganfeng put him in charge.
Jinshen Pavilion has been working diligently and meticulously for several years. Last year, he was awarded the title of Zhenren by the imperial court.
After buying the Xuanhu Palace in Kongtong Mountain, Li Ganfeng planned to ask him to take a group of disciples to take over and become the abbot of Qingxu Temple in Kongtong Mountain.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Zhang Nianhui smiled at Xue Tao and Han and said, "It's ready. I'll take my younger siblings and my wife up!"
Master Wu Ning led the way, while Zhang Nianhui led the two distinguished guests up to the second floor and walked into the Golden Body Hall.
The Jinshen Hall is resplendent, with incense candles curling up on the incense table. There are huge yellow curtains on both sides, hanging high. In the middle, a golden statue sits cross-legged in a rosewood niche with eyes slightly closed. It is the physical body of Mu Zhenren.
picture.
Zhang Nianhui lit a stick of incense, put it in the incense burner, put her hands together and prayed silently, stood up and said to Xue Tao: "Brothers and sisters, please salute Master!"
Xue Tao stepped forward and knelt down on the futon, put his hands together and saluted, and said silently in his heart, "Master, the immortal spirit is above me. This little girl will have a hundred-year marriage with Guo Song. I came here to pay homage to the master. I beg the master to bless us and protect us to grow old together!"
She leaned down and kowtowed three times. At this time, Master Wu Ning exclaimed, "Ah!" and walked quickly to the window. Zhang Nianhui was confused and asked: "Wu Ning, what's wrong?"
"Master Wife, look at the sky."
Zhang Nianhui stepped forward, and she was also stunned. She saw a rainbow appearing in the sky above Jinshen Pavilion. Zhang Nianhui and Wu Ning turned back to look at Xue Tao. Zhang Nianhui asked in surprise: "Brothers and sisters... pray to the master."
?”
Xue Tao nodded lightly, "I beg Master to bless me and Guo Lang!"
Zhang Nianhui said anxiously: "Go and tell your master quickly that he has appeared!"
Wu Ning scrambled to the ground and rushed downstairs, ran out of the Golden Body Pavilion and shouted: "Master, the master has appeared! The master has appeared!"
Zhang Nianhui and Han both knelt in front of the golden statue. Xue Tao walked slowly to the window and stared at the rainbow in the sky. After a long while, she clasped her hands and whispered: "Thank you, Master!"
Li Ganfeng rushed out with a large group of disciples. They knelt down in the square. Li Ganfeng shouted into the air: "Master! Can you hear what the disciples say?"
Celestial Master Lu Li and others also rushed out of the gate. They looked at the rainbow in the sky and were all shocked. The rainbow was just above the Golden Body Pavilion, full of fairy spirit. The Taoist priests of Kongtong Mountain also knelt down and drank a cup of tea.
, the rainbow slowly dissipated.
The rainbow that appeared over the Qingxu Palace on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month caused a sensation in Chang'an City. There were different opinions. Although the weather was good and the possibility of a rainbow was high, most people believed that this must be the appearance of the golden statue.
From this day on, people and dignitaries came to the Jinshen Pavilion to offer incense and make wishes in an endless stream. The Qingxu Palace grew in popularity and gradually showed signs of catching up with the Xuandu Temple.
.........
Time flies to the end of the month, and there are still three days before the wedding day. Guo Song also returned to Chang'an. He did not live in Qingxuguan, but went to his own garden.
The decoration of the garden house has been completed, and dozens of large tables have been moved into the house. The Guo Song and Xue families are both small and do not have many relatives. Most of the guests are colleagues from both sides, and the total number is only one or two hundred people at most.
In the open space of the west courtyard, Zhang Leizheng directed a dozen people to build a green house. The green house is also the place where couples hold their weddings. From the Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, there was a wedding custom of building a green house. It was usually arranged in the southwest of the new house, which is an auspicious place.
Qinglu is actually a large green tent, which can be rented in Dongshi. There is a century-old shop in Dongshi that specializes in selling various wedding items.
It also provides complete wedding services, including arranging bridesmaids, dancers, wedding bands, providing green houses, tables, chairs, carriages and other large items, and you can even rent wedding clothes, jewelry and other items here.
Zhang Lei rented the largest green house, which covered an area of one acre and could accommodate more than a hundred guests. It just filled up the entire open space in the west courtyard. All the rooms in the west courtyard were empty and could be used as a resting place for guests.
Zhang Lei turned around and saw Guo Song, and waved quickly: "This way! This way!"
Guo Song walked over and said with a smile: "Senior brother, if he wears a futou, he will look like a housekeeper!"
Zhang Lei rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I've been working so hard for you, and you still ridicule me, do you still have any conscience?"
Guo Song hugged his generous shoulders and smiled: "At worst, I will help you again the next time you take a concubine."
"There is no sincerity at all. You clearly know that it is impossible for me to marry you again."
"It's hard to say! Master said that you are destined to have three wives and four concubines. I'm afraid you will marry more than one in the future."
Zhang Lei's face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Madam, junior brother is joking with me!"
When Guo Song turned around, Li Wenyu was actually behind him, with a strange expression on his face, half-smile but not a smile. She had heard everything he said just now.
"Junior brother, did your master really say that Gan Lei was destined to have three wives and four concubines?"
Guo Song laughed and said, "I'm joking! How could Master say this? Master just said that he can't do big things. The life of a rich man is that he has learned martial arts for more than ten years in vain."
Li Wenyu's face softened a lot, and she snorted: "He has learned martial arts for more than ten years in vain, and now he can't even beat me."
Zhang Lei said with a flattering smile on his face: "How can I fight back? As the saying goes, hitting is kissing, scolding is loving..."
Guo Song was disgusted to death. This fat, useless guy deserved to be beaten to death!
"What do you want me to do, senior brother?" Guo Song interrupted his flattery.
"Ah! It's about the invitation. Guo Ying asked me to ask you. The invitation has basically been written. Is there anyone else in your army that you want to invite?"
"There will be thirty subordinates coming from the army, as well as my aunt and two nephews..."
"Who?" Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment.
"Lao Si's apprentices and grandsons."
"Oh! Who else?"
Guo Song thought for a moment and said, "That's about it. By the way, there's also Li An, don't forget him."
"I understand. You can give me the specific list later. It will be sent out today."
Guo Song suddenly remembered something and asked, "Senior brother, do you know that the fourth child is married?"
Zhang Lei looked stunned, "No! When did it happen?"
"It seems that it has been a year or two. I also heard it from the fourth disciple on the night of Shang Yuan. It really surprised me."
Zhang Lei was silent for a moment and said: "Don't blame him. I know he has something to hide. Lao Wu told me the night before he went to Qizhou that he was already a little helpless. If he hears any news that hurts the brothers' feelings in the future, tell us
Don’t take it seriously.”
"He's referring to the marriage?"
"I think it should be that the fourth child is an orphan like us. We are his relatives. There is no reason not to notify us when he gets married. Maybe the fourth child does not think it is his marriage."
Guo Song nodded, Zhang Lei made sense, maybe he had indeed misunderstood.
Guo Song walked into the inner house. His bridal chamber had been decorated. It was an elegant small courtyard. The door had been locked. Tomorrow morning, Xue Tao's two aunts would come to make the bed.
According to marriage customs, the bride's family is responsible for the decoration of the bridal chamber, which is also a large sum of money. However, it is not so clearly divided here in Guo Song. Li Wenyu is responsible for the decoration of his wedding room. All the decorations are in place, except for making the bed.
In the first step, the woman's elder woman comes to make the bed and pay the bills. There are dozens of good quilts, which are part of the woman's dowry.
Guo Song came to the study and wrote down the guest list that needed to be supplemented. He thought for a while that his aunt needed him to deliver the wedding invitation in person.
