Chapter 244 Little Girl Mei Niang
Li Hao's preaching ceremony is scheduled for December 12th.
It is almost the end of the year, and Chang'an is becoming more and more noisy.
As the days of preaching are getting closer, ordinary people discussing preaching by national teachers can be seen everywhere on the streets of Chang'an, even better than those who discuss the coming to court in all countries.
In this atmosphere, two women were silly and silly, who came to Chang'an City, the most prosperous world today. One of them was a beautiful woman with oval face, charming eyes, charming charm and extraordinary demeanor. The other was a eleven-year-old young luoli.
Although luoli is small, she has already begun to take shape.
The smooth and flawless face is even better than the white porcelain. The slightly charming corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and it also has a bit of unique dignity, just like a phoenix eye.
The beautiful woman walked on the street and heard the ubiquitous discussion. She finally couldn't help but feel curiosity and doubt in her heart and said, "This father-in-law, what's the matter of preaching the national teacher you mentioned?"
The old man looked at the beautiful woman and saw that although her clothes were a little shabby, she was really upbeat. He responded: "You just came from another place?"
"That's right." The beautiful woman said carefully.
The father-in-law nodded slightly and said, "No wonder you don't know about this. This incident only came out of the palace three days ago.
Three days ago, Your Majesty issued an order to grant Mount Zhongnan to the national teacher for resting.
There is also an imperial edict that the national teacher will open the mountain gate on the 12th of this month and choose those who are destined to enter the mountain gate to cultivate the way of immortality. You don’t know that Zhongnan Mountain is so lively now. It is said that all those who want to apply for errands have lined up to ten miles."
When the beautiful woman heard this, she understood what was going on.
She was surprised and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
My husband is dead, and I am now driven out of the house. Even if I go to join my relatives, I will inevitably look at the face of others. If I can go to Zhongnan Mountain to try my luck, it may be a way out.
The beautiful woman was quite moved and said gratefully: "Thank you, my father-in-law."
The father-in-law smiled and said, "It's not that the old man is talking too much. Now he wants to be a servant in Zhongnan Mountain, there are hundreds of thousands of people. If you want to try it, don't give too much hope."
The father-in-law said, sighing: "It's a pity that the old man is already old. If he can be twenty years younger, he must try his luck."
The beautiful woman responded with a smile, but did not answer.
She is almost desperate now, and if she can enter the exiled immortal temple in Zhongnan Mountain to be a servant, it will be an excellent way out.
Although the beautiful woman has been caring for her husband and children all year round, she has heard of the name of the national teacher in that dynasty more than once.
She had heard more than once in her husband, Warrior Tsubasa, how might the national teacher be so majestic, how favored by His Majesty, and how amazing it is.
The beautiful woman bid farewell to her father-in-law and took her little luoli to Zhongnan Mountain. She finally arrived at the place when the sun sets.
"Wow, there are so many people."
Little luoli looked at the crowd that was winding from the hillside to the foot of the mountain, and had no idea how long it was. She couldn't help but widen her round eyes and exclaimed.
The beautiful woman didn't expect this kind of scene to be like this. She stood at the foot of the mountain in shock, and felt a little hesitant and helpless in her heart.
She thought her father-in-law's words were exaggerated, but she didn't expect that the facts were even more exaggerated than what her father-in-law said.
It was already evening, but there were tens of thousands of people queuing up.
If it were during the day, I was afraid that a hundred thousand goals would not be an exaggeration at all.
Just when the beautiful woman was in a daze, a blockbuster wailing suddenly came from the front: "What, the traitors have been recruited. No, it's not that they want to recruit hundreds of traitors, but they have been recruited on the third day?"
"Tsk, you don't think about how many people have come to apply for mail service these days. Fuck him, and the damn bastards and nobles in the imperial city, one of them is not good at being a good noble man, and they come to apply for mail service if they have nothing to do. Isn't this a robbery of our job?"
"Swish, they are all drunken men's intentions, they don't want to be servile people."
"No, I think those people want to be disciples of the national masters. They don't urinate and take a look. The national master doesn't even accept His Majesty, and will he still accept them?"
"You can't say that although the national magistrate did not accept His Majesty, he accepted the eldest princess. Alas, the eldest princess is such a blessing. If so, forget it, forget it."
"I really don't understand these people. What kind of Tao is it that the princess and princes are not good, so what kind of Tao is it to practice?"
"Hmph, ignorant. The national master is not an ordinary person. What's wrong with the princess and princes? A hundred years later, it will be a waste of loess. Although the national master does not show off his dew, I heard that he is a real exiled immortal. If you don't see the masters of Buddhism and Taoism coming to Chang'an, do you have to visit the national master first?"
"You can't tell me what kind of ability does the national teacher have? The national teacher has been favored by His Majesty over the years, and even the palace people are extremely jealous."
"I heard that the national teacher will take action personally during this preaching. I want to know what the national teacher has. I will come and take a look at it."
"That's right. I heard that this preaching of the national master is an extraordinary event. Not only will His Majesty come here in person, but even the civil and military officials, royal relatives, and even the envoys from all countries who come to worship will come to congratulate you."
"No, it's just that the national master accepts apprentices, how could it be so big?"
"Yes, the national master just accepts disciples. It is understandable to say that it is alarmed by Your Majesty, but why do Chinese civil and military officials and royal relatives in the court come to join in the fun? And those envoys from all countries?"
"Who knows this? I also heard from my aunt's neighbor's friend. He was working in the Marquis's Mansion and accidentally heard the Marquis talking about this."
"Okay, you'll know then. Let's go, leave, now there's only the cook's place left. Do you still want to keep the chef here for a job?"
"Haha, as long as the national teacher is willing, I will definitely stay and apply for a chef."
As people chatted and laughed, they dispersed one after another, and only the beautiful woman stood at the foot of the mountain with her little luoli. She saw the mountain road that was mostly empty in a blink of an eye.
When the crowd dispersed, she walked up carefully.
The beautiful woman came to the hillside, perhaps because she was mainly a choreographer before, so there were not many people left at this time. Even if she was added, there were only thirty people.
What surprised the beautiful women was that most of the people who came to apply for a chef were beautiful ladies with gorgeous clothes and elegant temperament.
Rather than saying that they are like cooks, they are more like official ladies.
The beautiful woman was stunned at first, but she quickly understood.
These people are probably the same as the noble young masters mentioned before. On the surface, they came to apply for a chef, but in fact they were not thinking about recommending themselves to the pillow table or becoming disciples of the country?
The beautiful woman was a little amused and envious.
A Taoist boy frowned and said, "You, newcomer, what's your name?"
Yang said respectfully: "Minister woman, Yang, this is the little girl, Mei Niang. We mother and daughter came from Jingzhou and wanted to go to Chang'an to join our distant relatives. The woman accidentally heard that the national teacher wanted to collect chores, so she brought her little girl to try her luck."
The Taoist boy casually said: "Okay, okay, luck or not, it depends on the meaning of the national master. You all follow me to meet the national master."
