imprinted you in my heart

Bu Qianxue, who was watching Daoist Zhou and other Taoist priests performing ritual rituals in the Quanzhen Temple, didn't know that someone from her family had been sent to find her, and she was a little bored.

As early as a few days ago, she had the idea of ​​going to the Xianliang Temple to burn incense on Qixi Festival, and prayed for her and Shi Min, as well as the Queen Mother and her family. On the same day, she told her family about her thoughts. He only said to bring more guards to pay attention to safety, etc., but Bu Lang, who has never expressed his opinions very much, rarely raised objections.

It is said that although the defense in the city has been strengthened recently to prepare for the big wedding, there is no guarantee that there are other unknown reasons. Besides, there are limited guards in their mansion, even if they are sent by His Majesty. If you do the math with your heart but don't have the heart, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it.

Although Xianliang Temple is at the peak of incense and is a royal Taoist temple, Quanzhen Temple and Xuanming Temple are also royal Taoist temples, and they are not very famous, but the good thing is that they are in the city. As long as you send someone to the branch in advance, there will be no troubles at that time People and others, in case something happens, you can find support nearby, which is safer than looking far away for a virtuous view.

Hearing what Bu Lang said, Jiang Li and the two elders who originally thought it was nothing for Bu Qianxue to go to the Xianliang Temple became worried instantly, and joined the ranks of persuasion, for fear that Bu Qianxue would definitely go to the Xianliang Temple.

Bu Qianxue heard it more clearly than anyone else. She thought that her and Shi Min's wedding was approaching, and the old dean's family had a tragedy in the front, and the security of the capital was strengthened later. Although she didn't want to think about it, it was too coincidental. And based on her understanding of Shi Min, I'm afraid things are far from being as simple as they appear on the surface.

In addition, from this month onwards, the envoys of the various vassal states will come to pay tribute one after another. She doesn't want to be too ostentatious, and she doesn't want to go to the concept of virtue with great fanfare, and she doesn't want to add trouble, so she accepts Bu Lang and the others along the way. Suggestion, go to the Quanzhen Temple instead.

Even considering that there are not a few people who have the same thoughts as her on Qixi Festival, she changed the date to today, so that it is convenient for her and does not delay others. She can't deny others the opportunity to burn incense just because she wants to burn incense. Temporarily going to cause trouble for others, and specially sent someone to inform three days in advance.

Taoist monks who live in the temple have to meditate and do their homework sooner or later. She was embarrassed to come too early, so she chose to come back after breakfast. When she came, she only took a carriage and brought some guards. With her personal identity, she never expected to be the future queen.

You can’t blame Zhou Daochang for making a fuss. After all, when someone from the royal family comes, it is usually the guard of honor who arrives first, and those who are in a small group are basically decided on a whim. There are very few people who are light and simple.

It is not the first time for Bu Qianxue to visit Quanzhen Temple. After all, there are only three Taoist temples inside and outside Fandu City, including Quanzhen Temple, Xuanming Temple and Xianliang Temple, but this is the first time she has seen Daoist Zhou himself, with a round face in his forties. She is very thin, wearing a lotus flower crown robe and wearing Shifang shoes. She looks very energetic, and she only knows it is a woman when she hears the voice.

Taoist priests in the Hua Dynasty were the only ones who did not distinguish men and women by the color of their crowns and hats, because men and women wore the same clothes. If the physical gender characteristics were not obvious, you had to rely on your voice and eyesight to distinguish them. Fortunately, all Taoist priests can be called Taoists , Taoist or Yuke, etc., don't worry about not being able to tell the difference, it's not easy to address each other.

On the other hand, Daoist Master, Grand Master, and Zhenren are the exclusive titles for people with higher status in Taoism. They all have special skills and high moral character, and many of them are well-known.

After Zhou Daochang and others saluted, they introduced the situation of the Taoist temple while leading Bu Qianxue and others to Sanqing Hall. After burning incense, Bu Qianxue and others each donated a lot of money. Also pray for her and Shi Min.

Bu Qianxue was a little bored at first, and saw that there was still a while before the end of the ceremony, so she got up and prepared to go for a walk, but before she could step out, she saw a guard bringing someone over, and she looked familiar, and it turned out to be Fuchu The housekeeper immediately sat down again.

After listening to the butler's report, she no longer had the desire to read it again, and asked Zhi Guan, who was by her side, to explain a few words, and then she took Jiang Li and others who were not sure why to go back home.

Zhiguan is a Taoist official, and the Quanzhen Temple, Xuanming Temple and Xianliang Temple inside and outside Fandu City are all royal Taoist temples, so each Taoist temple is equipped with a regular seventh-rank point and a deputy eighth-rank Zhiguan, which is equivalent to a A principal and a deputy preside over all matters in the view and are under the jurisdiction of the Daolu Department.

The Department of Daolu is the department in charge of all Taoist priests and Taoist affairs in the Hua Dynasty. It is also a department of Taoist officials, that is, all officials are Taoist priests. Although officials have ranks, they do not receive salaries and do not wear official uniforms. They are only given a belt corresponding to the rank, and they can only be worn on important occasions or when they go to the pilgrimage.

Therefore, the Quanzhen Temple and other three temples all have a certain amount of land for their own use. Among them, the Xianliang Temple has the largest area, the largest number of people, and the most land. Therefore, it has the least quarterly self-use expenses allocated by the imperial court, and only two dishes. The self-use expenses of the Quanzhen and Xuanming views of the land are more than twice as much as those of the Xianliang view.

Self-use expenses are the treatment that only royal Taoist temples can enjoy. They can guarantee their income in droughts and floods.

But all Taoist priests who are recruited as Daolu officials must change their names to Quanzhen Temple or Xuanming Temple no matter where they are. In the past, they had to work for a lifetime. At the age of 65, you can choose to go to other Taoist temples or travel in the clouds, or you can continue to stay.

Everyone in Huaguo believes in Taoism, but there are two branches of Taoism here. One is the Quanzhen sect, which is inherited from master and apprentice; The precepts are also different, and the Quanzhen school is at its peak, while the Zheng school is in decline. The same thing is that the teachers in charge of one school are all called real people, and they are all sealed by the imperial court, and they are the fourth rank.

Whether it is the Taoist temple where the two sects originated, or the Taoist temples in various places, they are all responsible for their own profits and losses. There are neither suggestions and knowledge appointed by the court, nor self-use expenses. Taxes are paid according to the law, and Taoist priests have detailed regulations on whether to perform military service. Anyway, it is impossible to escape military service by becoming a Taoist priest.

Because Taoist priests are outsiders after all, and there are few mundane affairs, Taoist affairs at the local provincial and county levels are managed by the provincial head and county magistrate.

Of course, a family is not easy to get out of, and a Taoist priest is not quite easy to become a Taoist priest. The two parties of Taoism are relatively strict in accepting apprentices. Generally, there is a waiting period for a certain period of time. Only those who pass will be accepted by the master. The Taoist temple or the master will submit the application according to the procedure, and finally the Taoist priest's letter will be published according to the name after the approval of the Daolu Department.

If a Taoist priest does not have a Taoist certificate, his name is not justified, and it is not easy to be suspected of being a Taoist priest. If it is serious, he can pretend to be a criminal. Taoist self-proclaimed.

Taoist robes are worn by men, women and children, from the emperor down to the common people, and there is no need to worry about it. No one will look at you when you walk on the street wearing a Taoist robe.

It is difficult to become a monk, and it is also difficult to return to the vulgar, and once you return to the vulgar and become a Taoist priest, everything you have when you become a Taoist priest will be taken back, including the belt you got when you were a Taoist official, and you cannot take away any property from the Taoist temple, let alone claiming to be a Taoist priest.

The reason why the imperial court is so strict with Taoist priests is that they were terrified of being cheated by fraudsters pretending to be Taoist priests. These lawless people took advantage of everyone's respect for Taoist priests and gods to amass money wantonly. It was the most prosperous in the Chengguang period, and Wu Zong Heartbroken, I finally made up my mind to rectify it, and it became what it is now.

For example, the Quanzhen sect who holds grace is the Quanzhen sect. The Quanzhen sect not only requires its disciples to live in a Taoist temple, but also has many precepts. Naturally, they cannot get married like the Taoists of the Zhengyi sect, so even if she has someone she likes, it is difficult for her to be together.

Bu Qianxue didn't know much about Chien, but Shi Min accidentally mentioned it once. In fact, Shi Min also knew that after Chien wrote a letter to Liu Fei, he asked the person who whispered it to check it out to find out about it. of.

Every time she thinks that Chien spent three years of freedom in exchange for Daoist Zhang's visits, she really wants to make up for Chien, and she naturally pays more attention to her affairs, even Liu Fei. Pay more attention to one or two.

Although Chi En didn't say goodbye to Liu Fei face to face, and appeared to be walking in a chic way, but judging by Shi Min's experience and sixth sense, the relationship between the two is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

It is not good for her to intercept and peek at the letter written by Chien, but it does not prevent her from letting the person who whispered inquire about the content of the letter. Although the lines are full of unfamiliarity and determination, it always gives her a guilty conscience Feel.

Coupled with Liu Fei's performance after Chien left, it further confirmed her thoughts. After all, how could words like that be so ruthless.

After Chi En left, Liu Fei was decadent for nearly a year, singing and dancing every day, drunk and dreaming, and became a famous frequent visitor on Spring Street. Five or six days out of ten, she was carried back by servants, and the elders in the family sighed and sighed in anger. I hit and beat, scolded and scolded, and tried without giving money, but it didn't work, so I turned around, and I still didn't change my mind.

The Xing family had no choice, so they planned to send someone to send Liu Fei back to the south for a short stay to relax.

Later, I thought about the method of blind date. I thought it would be good if Liu Fei got married. Liu Fei, who was deceived into going on a blind date, got into a fight with the man who came to the blind date after learning the truth. In the end, both of them were carried back by servants. Yes, after that no one is willing to go on a blind date with the Second Young Master of the Xing Mansion.

Just when the Xing family was about to give up, Liu Fei received the late letter from Chi En, and she didn't know if she had just given up, or if she had been decadent for a long time, so she changed her mind, and instead of going to Chunjie, she took the initiative to go there In the south, I paid homage to my ancestors and parents, and after I came back, I took the initiative to study medicine.

In the seventh year of Tianfu, Liu Fei also relied on her own strength to enter the medical school with excellent grades, becoming the first batch of formal students of the medical school, and gave a speech for freshmen at the opening ceremony. Recalling that the Liu Fei in her memory had grown up a lot and was a lot calmer, she almost didn't recognize her.

Liu Fei studies medicine very hard, has always been at the top, and has a good popularity, but the relationship has not made any progress, and there is no scandal.

Now that the three-year agreement between Chi En and Zhang Daochang is coming soon, and Liu Fei doesn't like anyone else, Shi Mian has some thoughts in his heart, and accidentally slipped his mouth, but Bu Qianxue remembered it unexpectedly .

Bu Qianxue remembered it, but she didn't know what Shi Min's plan was. She only knew that it was difficult for a Taoist priest to return to vulgarity. In addition to praying for blessings, she came to the Quanzhen Temple today to ask about returning to vulgarity.

But before he had time to speak, the housekeeper came, so he had to find a chance to ask next time.

A group of people were about to leave the gate of the Taoist temple, when they saw a Taoist priest rushing to the temple, holding a square wooden box in his hand, approaching Bu Qianxue and saluting: "Young Master's wife, Jin An, this is the scripture that Young Master's wife wants." , Zhiguan, who was sent along with him, immediately echoed his words.

When Daoist Zhou introduced the Taoist temple before, Bu Qianxue casually mentioned a certain version of the scriptures, but I didn’t expect that the Quanzhen Temple actually existed, and they sent it over in time, "So, I will not be disrespectful, thank you Taoist Zhou for me, and leave "Bu Qianxue returned the salute.

Lu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to take the wooden box, and then Bu Qianxue and the others got into the carriage and drove home. ?
