Chapter 1877

They were ready to tell a lie. As soon as they came home, Bai Shan got into his warehouse. Finally, they found the Buddha statue in one box and the statue of Lao Tzu in another box, all of which were carved in jade.

There are many Buddha statues, but there are also two Laozi statues.

Bai Shan carefully compared it and took away the smallest statue of Lao Tzu, which was only one and a half feet high.

When the storehouse keeper saw the young master holding out the statue of Lao Tzu, he immediately stretched out his hand to protect it and said cautiously, "young master, it's carved in black jade. What are you doing with it?"

Bai Shan said, "give it away."

The steward was stunned and hurriedly asked, "does the old lady know?"

Bai Shan said, "I'll know soon."

Then he wrote down what he took out on the list, signed it and ran away with it.

The steward couldn't stop it. He had to quickly take the book and put it in his arms. Then he locked the warehouse and ran to report to the old lady.

The statue of Lao Tzu was specially made by the old lady. It was made of rare and good black jade. It was more than ten times more valuable than the three foot tall jade statue of Lao Tzu.

The young master chose the best one.

It's said that the old lady looks like she's going to give the old man away.

Mrs. Liu really plans to give Lao Tzu as a gift to the old master of the Zhang family, a family friend of the white Liu family.

Old master Zhang gave his son the position of patriarch in his early years and went to seek Tao wholeheartedly.

Now Bai Shan is about to grow up. If she studies for a few more years, she is bound to go back to her family, so she has to start a business in Longzhou. At least let those who forget their grandparents and grandchildren and despise them remember them and value them again.

In this way, they will not be humiliated when they return to Longzhou.

She found the black jade before the winter of last year. She bought it at a high price and invited a famous craftsman to carve it carefully. It took more than two months to carve it.

Old man Liu took the booklet and looked at it. It was indeed the signature and monogram of her grandson. She put it down, smiled and asked, "who does he want to give it to?"

The steward shook his lips and whispered, "the young master didn't say. I only saw the young master go to miss man..."

The whole family knows that the Zhou family also believes in Lao Tzu and talks about the Heavenly Master from time to time.

Liu Laofu knows that her grandson and man Bao are half believing and half not believing in the supreme old gentleman. If you want to believe it, they don't really believe that ghosts and gods will help them at the bottom of their hearts; If you don't believe it, you make wishes with ghosts and gods from time to time, and you worship very piously every time.

Mrs. Liu shook her head, smiled and said to the steward, "forget it. Give it to him as soon as he takes it."

When they worship Lao Tzu, the two children draw a picture by themselves, which can be replaced. They even refuse to spend 20 Wen to ask for a portrait from the Taoist temple. This time, they took great pains to take away the black jade Lao Tzu statue, which may be of other great use.

The steward was stunned, quickly responded, and then bowed back.

Zheng asked anxiously when he left, "mother, that old man's birthday gift..."

"Find another gift," Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "there is more than one statue of Lao Tzu in the world, and what's the hurry? There are more than two months before his birthday. The two children may return in two days."

Not long after, Bai Shan came to explain to old lady Liu. He also knew that Lao Tzu seemed to be giving someone a birthday, but he planned to borrow it first, "return it to grandma in 50 days."

Old man Liu frowned and asked, "do you want to take it into the palace?"

Bai Shan nodded, "it's more convenient to incense."

Mrs. Liu rubbed her forehead and asked, "can you take it in?"

Bai Shan said, "man Bao asked Duke Wu for help. It's not a big problem."

They should not only bring it in, but also bring it out again next time, enter the palace and bring it in again

Anyway, it's a pious look.

Zhou man, as a foreign minister, occasionally goes in and out of the palace with this statue of Lao Tzu. After all, she can give people a living for her own use, but it is obviously impossible to go in and out so often.

Who knows what the hell she's doing?

So even the bodyguards who had a good relationship with her would not agree with her to go in and out with such a thing after one or two times.

But it's different with Duke Wu's endorsement.

The prince stood behind Duke Wu. It seemed that Lao Tzu went to the east palace. The prince promised, and the bodyguards would not stop him too much.

Therefore, when he entered the palace again, Bai Shan held a box in his arms. Duke Wu personally picked up the people, and then registered at the guard's office, indicating that the statue of Lao Tzu had to go in and out several times.

This made the bodyguards check more carefully. If they were not allowed, they would like to smash the jade carving to see if there was anything in it.

Man Bao looked at them and sympathized with them. After holding things into the palace, he said to Wu Gong fairly: "they are really poor. There are so many wonderful things in the world. If one doesn't check carefully and misses something into the palace, it's their responsibility?"

Duke Wu: "... Dr. Zhou, you are the one they are examining now."

Man Bao didn't realize it at all. He nodded and said, "I'm a good man. I never bring anything to the palace."

Bai Shan, holding the box, nodded slightly and thought that it was because Uncle Zhou could hold everything she wanted to carry, but Minglu could use it.

But this time they need to show it to others, otherwise he thinks it shouldn't be difficult for uncle Zhou to bring the jade carving into the palace.

Duke Wu was also very interested in their statue of Lao Tzu and asked, "Dr. Zhou, why don't you send things to the Taoist temple to light up, but to light up yourself?"

Man Bao said seriously, "my heart is more sincere and more spiritual."

Duke Wu didn't know whether he believed it or not. Anyway, he didn't care after sending people to Chongwen hall, but he paid more attention to her.

Although I know that Zhou man should not harm others and him, after all, he is worried about the relationship, so we should pay more attention.

Man Bao and Bai Shan put the statue of Lao Tzu in the East, then put the box in front of the statue of Lao Tzu and twisted three incense sticks to incense it.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang met, and they used to worship. After a while, I put nine incense sticks in front of the statue.

Bai Erlang asked, "do you still have to chant?"

"It's all right. I'll read it for half an hour after I come back and wash, and then I'll read it for half an hour in the morning."

Bai Erlang always felt that her attitude was perfunctory, but her performance seemed very pious to the people in the palace. When the maid in waiting for her came to pour her face wash and get dirty clothes every morning and evening, she saw Zhou man kneeling in front of Lao Tzu's statue and praying devoutly.

She didn't have to turn over the Scriptures. She could read it clearly word by word with her eyes slightly closed.

The palace maid thought that Lord Zhou was very powerful, so it didn't take a few days. Many people in the palace knew about it.
