Chapter 1713
The host and guest entered the central hall. Head Li and the elders of the same clan abide by the principle of respecting the east and respecting the west. They sit in the host's seat on the west side and invite the guests to sit in the east.
Because the little girl Le did not bring an entourage, she was left alone or with two siblings sitting on the east side. Yi Lao and Li Zhao accompanied the little girl and sat in the guest seat on the east side as guests.
The young people responsible for carrying the luggage split into two groups on the way. One group delivered the items to the little girl's guest room, while the other group followed the elder and little girl Le with the luggage.
When the little girl entered the main hall and sat down, the disciples who were carrying luggage entered the main hall, placed boxes, cages, jars and other items in the hall, and then stood on the sides.
More than thirty pieces of luggage were lined up, and the scene was quite spectacular, which also made the men and women in the palace secretly frightened.
The guests of honor sat down and asked each other about the health conditions of the elders of each other's family/sect. After that, Head Li formally introduced several elders of his sect, who were senior fellow disciples of the same generation as Elder Yi.
There are more than thirty brothers in the same generation of Mr. Yi. He started a little late and was ranked after twenty. Now among the only remaining elders among his peers, only one is his senior brother. The rest are his junior brothers and sisters, including two junior sisters.
Guanyin Hall is a sect with a relatively large number of female disciples. Female disciples account for about one-third of the total number. There are more than forty of Master Li's peers, including more than a dozen female disciples.
The only remaining top generation of Guanyin Hall come from diverse sources and have diverse surnames. Generally speaking, there are still many local people, with the most numerous surnames of Xing, Zheng, Lu, Wu, Ji, Tian, Zhuo, Wei, Li, and Li. .
There are eleven elders of the Yi generation including Mr. Yi. Three of them are not in Qiongdao and seven are in the sect. The ones sitting in the same row as Head Li are named Xing, Zhuo, Tian, Ji, Li, Wu and Zheng, the two female elders are named Tian and Ji.
Head Li introduced the elders of his sect, Le Yun stood up, he introduced someone, she clasped her fists and said, "Elder XX has long been admired."
The elders of Guanyin Hall also stood up when the nephew of the master introduced them, and one by one they got to know each other with the little girl.
The two parties greeted each other and sat down again.
Head Li then introduced his fellow disciples, because there were still people who had not rushed back to the sect. He just pointed at the people in the row on the east side and said they were fellow disciples, and then also introduced the people in the row on the west side in general terms. The core disciple among his nephews and grandnephews.
Le Yun also clasped her fists and greeted everyone.
Head Li introduced the people in the sect, and the disciples in charge of tea filed in and brought tea, juice and fruits.
Qiongdao is the hometown of tropical fruits. There are all kinds of fruits in the tropical areas. A total of ten kinds of fruits were presented to form a large platter, while the fruits given to their disciples were a small platter.
The juice is a fresh coconut that has just been picked. The top of the fruit is opened and a reed tube is placed. If you want to be more elegant when drinking, you can choose a straw. If you want to be bold, take off the lid and hold the fruit while drinking. .
Classmate Le was interested in fruits and drank the juice from a coconut. He picked up the fruit knife on the fruit plate and dug out the pulp. He dug out a few pieces of pulp and gave them to his baby brother to eat.
Leshan ate a few grapes, and his sister ate coconut pulp for herself. She was so happy that she held the pulp in her hands and smiled so much that her face turned into a sunflower.
Li Zhao saw the little girl feeding her younger brother coconut pulp. She silently drank all the juice from the coconuts on her table and dug out the pulp for her younger brother.
Leshan ate a few pieces of fruit pulp handed over by his senior brother, took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his tender little hands. His little hands and feet crawled out of the master's arms, and ran to the little senior brother to act coquettishly and want to hug him. hug.
Wow! The little junior brother ran in front of him, and Li Zhao almost jumped up with excitement. He quickly picked up the milky-smelling little junior brother, put him on his lap, sat down, and dug out the pulp to feed him.
Head Li, the elders and others saw that the jade-like little milk baby came to feed his little senior brother, and they were extremely jealous. They could dig fruit pulp and take care of babies, so why didn't they throw themselves into their arms?
Le Yun also discovered that her younger brother was looking for his senior brother to act cute, and she quietly looked at the others. Some people looked at Mr. Li with jealous expressions as if they had been robbed of their beloved thing, and silently twitched their lips. Little Baozi, the younger brother was going to become Guanyin. The rhythm of the palace group's favor!
The junior brother was snatched away, and Master Li warmly invited Miss Le to taste the fruit.
Leshan ate about a quarter of the pulp of a coconut, and when he had enough, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his paws. He was very considerate and took his little senior brother's big hand to wipe it.
"..." Li Zhao was so happy that he almost fainted. Oh my god, my junior brother is a gentle and warm boy. He no longer wants to go to school and deal with the naughty children. He wants to resign and go to Lejia to be his tutor!
Leshan wiped the little brother's hands naturally, put the handkerchief in his sleeves, and snuggled into the little brother's arms obediently. My sister was very tired from flying, so she couldn't let her hug her often, so she played with her brother first.
The little milk baby is cute, smart and considerate, and instantly gained a lot of hearts from his brothers and sisters.
Le Yun tasted a few fruits, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, drank tea again, drank half a cup of fragrant tea, and asked Sect Leader Li and the elders of the Guanyin Hall to see the apprenticeship ceremony: "The box with the purple note is the elixir. The box with the red note is for medicinal food, and the box with the purple note contains tea. This is a small gift I prepared for my young brother's apprenticeship. The box with the gold note
is for moon cakes and pastries, which are just ordinary gifts that cannot be compared to elegance. "Tang, please don't be surprised by the elders and gentlemen of your sect."
"Little Miss Le, you have already sent the apprenticeship ceremony of my junior brother in advance. Tomorrow, let the junior brother kowtow to the ancestors and visit the ancestral hall to complete the ceremony. We will also There is absolutely no reason to accept two apprenticeship gifts. Please take back this generous gift. We will accept the mooncakes and pastries."
Li Zhangming looked at the boxes lined up and didn't know how to describe his mood. The apprenticeship gift given by the little girl in advance It's already extremely serious. If you accept another apprenticeship ceremony, it won't be a trap for the family members of the sect's disciples.
Elder Yi, Elder Xing and others also agreed with the leader's decision. They had already accepted the apprenticeship ceremony from the Le family. How could they accept it again? If word spread, other sects would think that Guanyin Hall was so poor that it needed to accept the apprenticeship ceremony to maintain its maintenance, or I thought Guanyin Temple was short-sighted and blinded by courtesy.
"Headmaster Li and the elders said this. I would rather obey the order than respect you." The elders of the Guanyin Hall sincerely refused to accept the gift. Leyun did not insist. She first agreed to take it back, and then made a decision with a smile: "Bring the things." , and it would be troublesome to transport it back and forth. So, let’s discuss it. Those are the birthday gifts that Quan He Leshan gave to the elders of the sect and the gifts for the sect’s wedding banquet.
I have decided to study abroad next year, and due to medicinal materials and other reasons, I expect that I may no longer make alchemy in the next few years. I am away from home all year round, and I rarely have time to bring my younger brother to Qiongdao to give New Year gifts, or to wish birthdays to elders and husbands, or to attend weddings. For wedding banquets such as the birth of a child, this gift will be used as annual gifts, birthday gifts, wedding gifts and other gifts. What do you think, Mr. Li, the elders and gentlemen? "
When Miss Le mentioned this, Head Li and the elders could no longer refuse: "This will cost the little girl a lot of money! "
You're welcome. " "After the negotiation was over, Le Yun took out the gift list from her sleeve and showed it to Head Li.
Head Li took the four-fold gift list, unfolded it, looked at it, and after reading only a few lines, he stood up glumly: "Little Miss Le, This...this gift is too heavy. How can I dare to accept it calmly? "
All the disciples were shocked. What kind of gift did the little girl give that made the master lose his temper?
"Let me take a look at what the little girl gave. "Yi Lao saw the scared look on the head's nephew's face. He jumped up and ran to the Eight Immortals table to take the gift list and browsed ten lines at a glance. When he
only saw the first line, the corners of his eyes jumped. After reading a few more lines, he turned to look at Youxian. The tender little girl: "Little girl, you... this hand, not to mention the Guanyin Palace, even Kunlun, Lianhua, and Penglai will be shocked when they see it.
"Elder Ant wasn't scared, was he? " "Le Yun still smiled calmly.
"I was also scared, but because I have seen so many of your generosity, I barely managed not to scream this time." Mr. Yi looked at the disciples present and pondered for a moment. , said slowly: "There have never been any traitors or traitors in our sect. The disciples in the inner courtyard are all the pillars of our sect in the future. Naturally, we cannot hide such important matters from you, so I will give you the elixir given by the little girl." Let me read you the list of medicines."
He took a breath, looked at the gift list again, and read slowly: "Thirty-six pills of Biyun Pill, sixty pills of Foundation Building Pills, one hundred pills of Cleansing Meridian and Cutting Marrow Pills; Three hundred tablets of Cutting Pills;
twelve pills of Huanyang Pills; one hundred pills of top grade Jiedu Pills, two hundred pills of ordinary Jiedu Pills; three hundred pills of Dust Removal Pills; six hundred pills of Qu Shi Qing Fei Pills, and one thousand pills of Qing Xin Pills. "
Elder Yi said to read the list of elixirs. The disciples of Guanyin Hall straightened their backs and pricked up their ears. When they heard "Biyun Dan", those who were sitting stood up in unison and stared at Elder Yi and Le Le in shock. little girl.
Everyone was dumbfounded as they listened to Elder Ant read out the name of the elixir in the same breath.
After hearing Elder Yi read out the list of elixirs, Elder Xing took a breath: "The gift is too heavy!"
"Too heavy!" Other elders also agreed in unison.
"This is half of my current net worth." Le Yun grinned: "The precious medicinal materials collected have been exhausted in the previous alchemy. I don't know if the next alchemy will be until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. I will need to collect medicinal materials all over the world in the future. Leshan will be entrusted to Mr. Yi and all the elders and gentlemen. I would like to thank you for your troubles." "
You are not kind enough to do this secretly. I know that you really respect our sect, so I can't beat you even if I want to. Damn
, Forget it, I won't follow Jiji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai's theory, the master nephew, just take it all as ordered, and urge the boys to practice diligently in the future. They are to serve as role models and backing for my little disciples. I can't protect my little disciple from being bullied by outsiders. I can't do it without strength."
Mr. Yi just read the list of elixirs, handed the gift list back to the nephew of the master, walked to his seat, walked to the little girl's side, and held up his big hand. He stretched her head up and said, "Next time you dare to scare me, I will beat you." "
Mr. Yi, you always think that I complain to my brother with tears in my eyes. Do you think your little disciple will come to him?" His uncles and uncles will support him?" Le Yun was not afraid of the threat from Mr. Yi.
"You... you're a stinky little girl, you always threaten me with my little disciple." "
You can be so stubborn that you won't be threatened."
"Humph, I don't have the same experience as you, a little girl." Mr. Yi blew his beard. After staring for a while, he calmed down, took another step, reached out and snatched the young disciple from his nephew's hands, and sat down while holding him in his arms.
Elder Yi stuffed the gift list into his hand. Leader Li couldn't laugh or cry, but he calmed down a lot. He sat down and continued to read the gift list. After reading it, he passed it to the elders around him for review.
Several elders took turns passing the gift list, and after reading it, passed it on to their nephews for circulation.
The gift list circulated around the hall and was finally returned to Li Zhao. He read it once and then presented it to the head master.
After the gift list was circulated, Le Yun automatically avoided it and let the officials of Guanyin Hall handle the gifts.
Mr. Yi happily took the little girl and his apprentice to their accommodation. He asked the sect to place the little girl in the courtyard where he lived.
The small courtyard where he lived was to the east of the main hall and across the courtyard. The courtyard next to the main hall was where several other senators lived. He lived in the second courtyard, a small courtyard in Han Chinese style, with the upper room and the east and west wings. There are three rooms in each, and the house style has a strong northern style.
Elder Yi originally lived in a small courtyard with his two junior brothers. Since the two have become immortals, he is the only elder who currently lives in the same courtyard.
Master Li obeyed his uncle's instructions and packed up the east wing of the small courtyard for little girl Le. Because there was too little Leshan, he was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to a strange environment, so he arranged for the siblings to live in the same place temporarily. Later, Leshan Shan naturally lives in the same room with Master.
In the past, people who lived in small courtyards were determined by their ranking. The person in the front lived in the upper room, and those in the rear lived in the east and west compartments. The middle room between the upper room and the east and west compartments was the living room. Therefore, there were multiple people. Living in the same hospital can also ensure everyone's freedom.
A person has three rooms, and he has a place to live even if he takes in disciples. If the brothers take in more disciples, there will be a south side hall for the disciples to live in. If there are too many disciples to live in, other courtyards will be arranged to live in.
Mr. Yi led the little girl and happily returned to the small courtyard where he lived before. He sent the little girl to the east wing to see if there was anything missing.
He arranged for the little girl to live in a bedroom in the east chamber facing north, with a two-step bed made of big-leaf rosewood, equipped with a wardrobe, a clothes screen, a multi-treasure pavilion and a desk, and the furniture was all rosewood.
Qiongdao is the origin of rosewood, and the best rosewood is Qiongdao rosewood.
The Guanyin Hall disciples placed their luggage in the east chamber living room. Le Yun visited the room, then carried a few luggage into the bedroom, packed a few things into a small backpack, and took advantage of Mr. Yi to lead him to see the sea while he was fine. .
That proposal was exactly what he wanted. Old Yi happily hugged his little disciple and took the little girl to see the sea. On the way, he also admired the diverse architecture of the Guanyin Hall.
The place where the Guanyin Hall is located is called Luhu Bay, and the town is called Luhu Town. The whole town has a population of more than 10,000, almost all of whom are descendants of the disciples of the Guanyin Hall in the past generations, and have nothing to do with the disciples of the Guanyin Hall. There are also several families who have settled down due to doing business in the past twenty years.
Guanyin Hall is located on the east side of Luhu Town, close to the low mountains extending from northeast to southeast surrounding the basin. Various tropical fruit trees are planted everywhere between the buildings, and the fruits are fragrant all year round.
On the road from the town to the bay, it takes about three miles to reach the notch surrounding the gourd neck in the basin. The detour is about two miles away and you get out of the notch. Outside is the bay beach.
