Chapter 19 Xuandu Temple
When Li Sanniang and Sister-in-law Li entered the house, Mother Li asked, what are you talking about outside? It took so long.
Li Sanniang said what Mrs. Zhao at the end of the street said. Mother Li nodded and said, "Oh, it's normal. There are people everywhere who are jealous and don't want others to live well.
< br>In her family, the eldest son was a girl. She was ordinary-looking and even not popular because of her dark skin. Later, she finally found a family in the countryside to marry.
The second eldest son was a man. Jun, he also followed her, even though he was almost 20 years old, he still didn’t get married.”
"Auntie, let's not talk about this anymore. Nuo, I bought a jug of wine and saved it for us to drink together in the evening when big brother and the others come back."
"Okay, let's put it in the well first. It will be cooler at night. . ”
In the evening, the four little ones came back from school. Half an hour later, Brother Li also went home after work, and the Li family started this wonderful meal.
Two roast geese, a pot of wine, mixed eggplant, steamed beans, and a pot of mung bean soup, along with Sanhe noodle steamed buns, everyone's stomach was bulging.
Little Luzhu'er was given another goose leg this time, and she also knew that she wanted to share it with Mother Li. Mother Li symbolically tore off a piece of meat and ate it, and little Luzhu'er concentrated on chewing it.
Brother Li was too full after dinner, so Brother Li took out hawthorn pills, divided two pills into each person, and ate them with the brewed hawthorn water.
Mother Li proposed at this time that the four little ones would have a ten-day break tomorrow. One day they would go to Sister-in-law Li's parents' house, and the other day they would go to Sister-in-law Li's parents' house. Brother Li would still be on duty, and Brother Li would go to the countryside with him the day after tomorrow. It would be best to go to Xuandu tomorrow to watch.
Brother Li nodded and said yes, just in time to go to the temple to ask for a name for Kogoro.
After coaxing little Luzhu'er to sleep with her hands trembling with excitement, Li Sanniang lay on the bed and called up the system in her consciousness space, and received the reward of the third mission "Caesarean Section Delivery Kit" , this reward, like the second reward "Use the sterile operating room once", is the kind of reward that is basically impossible to use in the short term. It is estimated that it will only be used when encountering some situation in the future, so it can only be placed on It's in my backpack.
Actually, what Li Sanniang wants most is the superpowers found in modern novels, such as being infinitely powerful and being able to discharge electricity. No matter what, it would be nice to have space, let alone a spring or an acre of land. , it’s just a space that just has a storage function where you can put things.
The result is that these rewards are only related to obstetrics and gynecology, and it is not yet known when they will be available.
Moreover, this useless hundred-grid backpack can only hold things produced by the system. Li Sanniang once tried to take out the natural birth bag she received as a reward and put money in it, but she was rejected. Can't put it in at all, no response at all.
After receiving the reward, task four was refreshed, "Please complete the opening ceremony of the host, and the reward is a complete set of obstetrics and gynecology medical books."
Li Sanniang looked at task four and frowned, thinking that this was very difficult.
Nowadays, most of the people who want to open a clinic are men, and women are not absent. The Imperial Medical Office in the Daming Palace had female doctors who served the female relatives of the harem, but at this time, female doctors were subordinate to male doctors. In order to ensure the correctness of the bloodline, the feudal emperors had to humanely treat the female concubines in the harem, so female doctors were the hands of male doctors to help with hearing, smelling, inquiring, acupuncture, massage, and boiling medicine, and female doctors mainly focused on women giving birth. Also under the guidance of male physicians.
To sum up, female doctors have no status and are not qualified to open a clinic.
Although the Imperial Medical Office does not have any clear regulations that female doctors are not allowed to sit in the clinic, at least now Chang'an City has not heard of any medical clinic with female doctors sitting in the clinic.
After all, before Emperor Wu ascended the throne, there were very few girls who could read and write. Apart from the ladies who could learn some female training, how could there be any girls who could read and write?
Not to mention that diagnosing pulses and prescribing prescriptions is a craft that can be used to make a living. It is mostly passed down from father to son. Those who enter the Imperial Medical Office are all men, and a small number of girls serve as subordinates to the female relatives in the harem. of.
It is really rare to see someone like Li Sanniang who was educated at a young age. He did not mind the identity of Li Sanniang’s daughter, taught him to Kaimeng, and even taught her all the housekeeping skills. No.
If the people at the bottom can't bear to be sick, they just go to the village doctor who knows the properties of medicine to take a few pills. The people in the city will come to see the doctor, but there are still few girls coming.
No matter how open the Tang Dynasty was, it was not as open as it is in modern times. When girls were sick, they usually reported their symptoms and their families went to the doctor to tell them and they prescribed some medicine. If it's symptomatic, that's good luck; if it's not, it's just a matter of resistance.
Not to mention that the births of married women are all taken over by Wen women. For example, Li Mu is famous in the square. There are even some famous Wen women in Chang'an City. In addition to delivering babies, they also do some For folk remedies to treat headaches, brain heat and diarrhea, girls and children in the backyard often go to Wen Po for medical treatment.
So, task four is really difficult.
It is difficult for Li Sanniang to open a hospital. Even if she succeeds, who would dare to treat Li Sanniang?
Li Sanniang thought that she would have a good chat with Father Li and Brother Li later and see if there was any chance.
The next day, although there was no rain, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily.
Sister-in-law Li stayed at home to take care of Sister-in-law Li and Xiao Wulang who were still in confinement, as well as little Luzhu'er who was not suitable to be taken out. Father Li, Mother Li, Brother Li Er and Sanniang Li called a donkey cart at the door and went to Xuan Everyone watched.
Little Luzhu'er was still holding Xiao Huang and waving to Li Sanniang at the door.
Before going out, Sister-in-law Li handed her an oil-paper umbrella, because she was afraid that it would rain on the way back.
But I didn't give them clogs. The main roads in Chang'an City are stone roads that are not afraid of rain. There are ditches on both sides of the road for drainage, so I am not afraid of rain or heavy rain.
In addition, you need to take a donkey cart back and forth, so there is no need to bring clogs.
But if you go to the countryside, in this kind of weather, clogs are a must, otherwise it will be impossible to walk on the muddy dirt road after the rain. Xuandu Temple is located in Chongyefang, but it is a little far away from the Li family's residence.
Religions were prevalent in the Tang Dynasty at this time, mainly Buddhism and Taoism. After Emperor Wu came to the throne, most of the religions were governed by inaction. The people believed in anything, as long as they did anything else. It would be fine if Taoist priests and monks did not pay taxes.
Although Taoist priests in Taoist temples and monks in temples do not need to pay taxes, the number is strictly limited. Individuals do not need to pay taxes, but individuals cannot own land.
Taoist temples or temples as a whole pay taxes. If you don’t pay taxes, I’m sorry. Emperor Wu said that if you don’t pay taxes, you are not suitable to survive in the land of China. Please leave the land of China. Otherwise, what will the Forbidden Army tell you? Be a good person.
The emperor with direct military power is so overbearing.
Yes, Emperor Wu directly changed the regulations that exempted Taoist temples and temples from paying taxes. Some monks once opposed it and mobilized believers to force Emperor Wu to withdraw the imperial edict.
Then, the disobedient monk disappeared in Chang'an, and many of the believers who were either really fooled or just wanted to cause trouble also disappeared, killing the chickens to scare the monkeys, and the rest became much more obedient.
However, the money donated by believers to Taoist temples or temples for sesame oil and religious services is not subject to tax, and is regarded as the private property of the temple or the temple.
Although Xuandu Temple is not small, the most famous one among literati is the ten-mile peach blossom that blooms in April every year, attracting many literati to write poems and articles about it.
But in fact, there are only forty or fifty people among them, including the Taoist priests who own the temple and the little Taoist boys adopted by the temple. The rest are mostly doing chores in the temple and working on the fields in the temple. common people.
Of course, as a religious place, there are also activities in the temple to pray for believers, make altar offerings, and answer questions.
Arrived, the first thing you see is a series of three stone arches with a bracket design. There are three big characters "Xuan Du Guan" on the main door. Li Sanniang's family is not the first, and many people have entered through the door.
After entering the door, there are Taoist boys who offer incense for free. Those with money can also buy incense candles and bring some.
Everyone in the Li family accepted the incense offered by the Taoist boy and conveniently donated some money for sesame oil in the merit box next to it. It was not a lot, but it was definitely worth much more than the incense candles received by a few people, so the Taoist temple still made a profit. Yes.
Then each person followed the example of others one by one, facing the statue of the God in Sanqing Hall, holding incense with both hands, and bowing to salute.
Li Sanniang said silently in her heart, "Three Pure Ones are above me. I live in your old man's three-acre land. Please help me draw the European Emperor every time! I'll give you more sesame oil money!"< br>
Mother Li recited very devoutly silently, "My faithful daughter Zhao Dani, I sincerely offer you my sincere thanks. I am willing to worship the Lord every day. I only ask that the Lord bless my little daughter to be safe and sound."
People on this continent of China have always been very tenacious. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, let’s say goodbye first. It’s always right to say goodbye. If it doesn’t work, we won’t say goodbye next time and find another family.
The four of them lit up the incense and asked the Taoist priest next to them about how to bring the statue home to worship. Mother Li and Brother Li were busy with this matter, so Father Li and Li Sanniang followed the little Taoist boy there. There is a queue in the backyard waiting for viewers to answer their questions.
In Li Sanniang's view, spending five taels of silver to ask a viewer to solve his or her confusion for a quarter of an hour is similar to paying a psychiatrist in modern times to help him sort out his mood.
After waiting in line for a long time, it was almost noon, but the little Taoist boy was very discerning and even gave us hot tea and vegetarian food.
After waiting for a while, Li Sanniang and Li's father followed the little Taoist boy into the room where the temple owner was.
The owner of the temple is quite young, looking to be no more than forty years old. He wears a Taoist bun, a well-trimmed beard, and a spotless Taoist robe. He sits cross-legged on a futon, looking like a Taoist master.
Li's father and Li Sanniang first bowed to the temple owner, and then knelt down and sat on the futon with the temple owner's permission.
Father Li probably believed it, because he really told the audience the big lie that Li Sanniang told before!
But it concealed the fact that Li Sanniang was preached by a Taoist nun. It also did not say that after Li Sanniang was preached, there was a way to treat the accidental foreign body that blocked her throat. It only said that in which year Li Sanniang was taken in due to heavy rain. A Taoist nun, I couldn’t remember some things after talking to the Taoist nun, but I would remember some scenes again. I don’t know what happened?
After hearing this, the viewer was very calm and showed no surprise. He really had seen the big world. After waiting for a moment, he stroked his beard and opened his eyes slightly to look more. After looking at Li Sanniang's face, she nodded slightly and said slowly: "Your wife is destined to be a Taoist. I think she has beautiful features and is a kind-hearted person. If you can't remember, you don't have to press too hard. When you remember, you will naturally remember it. Just go with the flow." OK.”
After saying this, the viewer stopped talking.
Li's father and Li Sanniang stood up and saluted, thanked the contemporaries, and were about to leave. When they were about to go out, the conservator said again: "When a lady does good deeds, she will have merit. Accumulating merit will accumulate merit. "Be kind to things and do good deeds."
Father Li may have thought that the last words of the master to guide people to do good were worth more than five taels of silver, so he went out and donated another five taels. Two silver coins.
Believe in science and have freedom of religious belief!
I think our country is really freer and more complete than other countries in the world regarding matters of faith.
I have only written tens of thousands of words in this book, and I have an idea in my mind about Xianxia. . .
Thank you Huai Xun1 for casting 5 recommendation votes for the 12th time. Thank you very much!
