Yang Ruoqing, the cattle dealer and Sheng Nanniang smiled and said: "Uncle Xiang, aunt, please stop blaming Jin Nan, he doesn't want to fall and get hurt!"

"The main reason is that the weather is really bad, so we have to go back in a hurry. When the weather clears up, we can call our parents and come over to play for a day, okay?"

Xiaoduo nodded along, "Yes, come back next time."

Miss Sheng looked confused and looked at the cattle dealer with questioning eyes.

The cattle dealer was also looking at the sky outside, his brows knitted into knots.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, God is not kind to you. The days ahead are long. Let's go. I'll let you cross a tree!"

In this way, with a hint of disappointment, Xiaoduo followed Yang Ruoqing and the cattle dealer, and left Xiangjiazhuang under the watch of Sheng Nanniang and Xiang Jinnan.

When the three of them were about to reach a tree, they heard a shout from behind.

It was Xiang Shengnan's voice.

Xiaoduo was the first to turn around and saw clearly that the person coming was Xiang Shengnan. A hint of surprise and excitement flashed in her eyes.

So does Xiang Shengnan.

Their eyes simply met, and then they shyly looked away.

Xiang Shengnan came straight to Yang Ruoqing, raised his hands and said, "Sister, I'm really sorry. You came to visit my father today, but I'm not at home. It's rude, so I came here to apologize to my sister."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "What crime is there to apologize for? We all know that you sent your aunt away."

Xiang Shengnan smiled slightly, panting, with a few crystal beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.

He obviously has the same facial features as Xiang Jinnan, but Xiang Jinnan does not have the beauty version, while Xiang Shengnan seems to have the beauty version, a standard handsome guy, no wonder Xiaoduo fell in love with him at first sight.

On the side, the cattle dealer looked at Xiang Shengnan and was secretly satisfied.

Yang Ruoqing said to Xiang Shengnan again: "I want to talk to your uncle about something. You go back and keep Xiaoduo company. She is timid."

Xiang Shengnan nodded and turned to go to Xiaoduo behind.

Yang Ruoqing turned her head and glanced at the young couple behind her, raised the corner of her lips, then withdrew her gaze and walked and chatted with the cattle dealer. She also slowed down a little to give the young couple behind her more time to get along with each other.

time……

"Uncle Xiang, look over there. I plan to build a Taoist temple over there to redeem and worship those ownerless souls. What do you think?"

Yang Ruoqing pointed to the large open space at the foot of the mountain across the river and asked the cattle dealer next to her.

The cattle dealer was surprised when he heard this idea.

Then he followed Yang Ruoqing's guidance and looked over there...

"Qing'er, building the Taoist temple is not a small matter. If it is really completed and the incense is burned, it will be a big event that will bring endless blessings. However, it will cost a lot of money. Do you seriously think about it?

Have you thought it through?" the cattle dealer asked excitedly.

Yang Ruoqing nodded seriously: "No kidding, my father and I, Uncle Luo, both know my plan. The reason why my father didn't come with us today is because he went to talk to the elders in the village about this matter."

People have gone to discuss it."

She raised her lips and said, "A Taoist temple has been built here. It is a good thing both for public and private purposes. I want to do it."

The cattle dealer was also infected by Yang Ruoqing's serious expression. He also became serious and simply stopped, facing the land opposite and thinking about it.

Not far behind him, Xiang Shengnan saw that his uncle and aunt in front of him had stopped and were still pointing and discussing something at the cemetery where his father had laid down the night before. Xiang Shengnan was confused.

"Duo'er, why did uncle and sister stop? What are they talking about?" Xiang Shengnan and Xiao Duo asked in a low voice.

Xiaoduo pursed her lips and smiled, and said with a proud face: "My sister sympathizes with those orphan souls who have no owners and cannot be supported by future generations. She plans to use her own money to build a Taoist temple on the opposite land!"

Hearing this, Xiang Shengnan was also shocked.

"Duo'er, your sister is really amazing, she has great ambitions!" Xiang Shengnan said.

The corners of Xiaoduo's lips raised even higher, "That's necessary. My sister is great, and my brother-in-law is also great. In my mind, they are the most powerful and kind-hearted people in the world! Back then, Xiaohua and I

We were almost killed by bad guys, but it was my sister and my brother-in-law who rescued us both. I will never forget the scene that day!"

Xiang Shengnan nodded vigorously, "I will help you remember it together, and we will repay your sister and your brother-in-law together in the future!"

Xiaoduo nodded sweetly.

The two young lovers also stood aside with a tacit understanding, keeping a little distance from Yang Ruoqing and others, and whispered about themselves...

Here, the cattle dealer said to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, do you have any plans in mind for building a Taoist temple? What kind of Taoist temple do you plan to build?"

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said: "Uncle Xiang, I haven't thought about this clearly yet. Do you have any good suggestions? You might as well tell me."

The cattle dealer said: "I have been selling cattle to support my family since I was young. I am not boasting. I have been to several counties around here and I have also seen some Taoist temples."

"If you plan to build a simpler one, with a small hall, two or three wing rooms, one or two statues of gods and Buddhas, and a yard, including the land purchase, it will cost about seventy or eighty taels of silver."

Yang Ruoqing shook her head gently, "It's too small. It needs to be built in a decent way so that people near and far know that there is a Taoist temple here, not like an earth temple!"

The cattle dealer added: "In that case, we will build two or three small halls, a dozen side rooms, build a dozen statues of gods, and enclose a large courtyard with high walls in the front and back. Calculated in this way, it will cost nearly two hundred taels of silver."

"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Money is not an issue. What I consider is that after the Taoist temple is built, to support the incense inside, it is not only the halls and statues of gods and Buddhas, but also Taoist priests!"

"This Taoist priest... is not easy to find. Those kind of half-hearted magicians who just eat and drink are absolutely not allowed to live here. Those who can live here must be Taoist priests with a good sect, even if they are private Taoist priests without a sect.

It’s okay, as long as he devotes himself to spiritual practice, he is also welcome to come and live in the temple here.”

As the cattle dealer walked, he tugged on a small beard on his chin and said: "There are two types of Taoist temples, one is the Zisun Temple and the other is the Jungle Temple."

"The Zisun Temple is passed down from generation to generation between masters and apprentices. Temple property can be inherited, and fellow Taoists from other sects can temporarily live in it, but they cannot interfere in temple affairs."

"The jungle temple is not allowed to accept disciples, and the temple property cannot be inherited. It belongs to all Taoists in the world. The Taoist priests who live there are not divided into sects, but private Taoist priests are not allowed to live there. Qing'er, then the Taoist temple you built...

"

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows: "Improved version of the jungle temple."

"I have a Taoist temple, and the temple property is in my hands. The Taoist priests in it are like the gentlemen in Haitang Academy. I will take care of them. No matter if they are popular or not, I will provide them with a place to live, regardless of their sect.
