Chapter 1713

When the host and guest entered the central hall, the headmaster Li and the elders of the same clan abided by the principle of respecting the east and respecting the west. They sat in the host's seat on the west side and invited the guests to sit on the east side.

Because the little girl Le did not bring an entourage, she was left alone or sitting on the east side with her siblings. Mr. Yi and Li Zhao accompanied the little girl to sit 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 items to the little girl’s guest room, while the other group followed the elder and little girl Le with 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 in a row. The scene was quite spectacular, and it 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 fellow disciples of Elder Yi. level person.

Mr. Yi has more than thirty brothers among his peers. He started a little late, ranking after twenty. Now among the only remaining elders among his peers, only one is his senior brother, and the rest are his Junior brother and junior sister, there are two junior sisters.

Guanyin Hall is a sect with a relatively large number of female disciples, accounting 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 top generation of figures in Guanyin Hall come from diverse sources and have diverse surnames. Generally speaking, there are still more local people, such as Xing, Zheng, Lu, Wu, Ji, Tian, ​​Zhuo, Wei, Li and Li are the most common surnames.

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 were named Tian and Ji.

Head Li introduced the elders of his sect. Le Yun stood up and he introduced someone. She clasped her fists and said, "Elder XX has been admired for a long time."

The elders of the 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 sides greeted each other and sat down again.

Leader Li then introduced his fellow disciples. Since 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 introduced them generally to those sitting on the west side. The row of people are the core disciples 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 has been 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 more bold, remove it. The fruit cover holds the fruit and tilts one's head to dry it.

Classmate Le was interested in fruits and drank the juice from a coconut. He then used the fruit knife on the fruit plate to dig 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. He crawled out of the master's arms with his little hands and feet. He ran up to his little senior brother and asked for a 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.

When Leader Li and other elders saw the jade-like little milk baby coming to feed his little senior brother, they were extremely jealous. They also knew how to dig fruit pulp and take care of the baby. Why don't you run into their arms?

Le Yun also discovered that her younger brother was flirting with his senior brother, and quietly glanced at the others. Some of them looked at Mr. Li with jealous expressions as if they had been robbed of their beloved thing, and silently twitched their lips. , Little Baozi brother is going to become the favorite of the Guanyin Palace!

The little junior brother was snatched away, and Head Li warmly greeted little girl Le to taste the fruit.

Leshan ate about a quarter of the pulp of a coconut. After eating 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 doesn't want to go to school and deal with the naughty kids anymore. He wants to resign and go to Lejia to be a boy. Junior brother’s tutor!

Leshan wiped the little brother's hands naturally, stuffed the handkerchief into 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. Play with senior brother.

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 to wipe her hands, drank tea again, drank half a cup of fragrant tea, and asked the leader of Li and the elders of Guanyin Hall to look at the apprenticeship ceremony: "Tie purple The box with the note is for elixirs, the box with the red note is for medicinal food, and the sticker is purple.The box containing the note contains tea leaves. This is a small gift I prepared for my young brother to become a disciple.

The boxes with golden notes on them are moon cakes and pastries, which are merely commonplace rituals that cannot be considered elegant. Please don’t be surprised by the elders and gentlemen of your sect. ”

“Little Miss Le, you have already sent the apprenticeship ceremony for 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 not accept two copies. The principle of apprenticeship ceremony, please take back this generous gift, we will accept the moon cakes 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 was already very heavy. It would be a trap to accept another apprenticeship gift. The family members of the disciples of the sect.

Elder Yi, Elder Xing and others also agreed with the leader’s decision. They have already received a apprenticeship gift from the Le family. How can they accept it again? If it is passed out, other people will Pai also thought that Guanyin Hall was so poor that it needed to accept the apprenticeship ceremony to maintain its maintenance, or that Guanyin Hall was short-sighted and was blind to courtesy.

"Headmaster Li and the elders said this, I am respectful and it is better to obey orders," Guanyin The elders in the palace sincerely refused to accept the gift, but Leyun did not insist. She first agreed to take it back, and then made a decision with a smile: "I brought the things back, and it would be troublesome to transport them back and forth. This is better, we Let’s discuss some gifts that Quan and Leshan would give to the elders of the sect as birthday gifts and as gifts for the sect’s wedding banquet.

I have decided to study abroad next year, and due to medicinal materials and other reasons, it is expected that I may no longer make alchemy in the next few years. I am away from home all year round, and rarely have time to bring my younger brother to Qiongdao to give New Year gifts, or to give gifts to others. When the elders and gentlemen wish birthdays and attend wedding banquets such as weddings and births, 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 other elders could no longer refuse: "This will cost the little girl a lot of money! ”

　“You’re welcome. "After the negotiation was completed, 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 only read a few lines. He was rude. Standing up: "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, his eyes twitched. He looked at it again. After a few lines, he turned to look at the fair and tender little girl: "Little girl, you... this hand, not to mention the Guanyin Palace, even Kunlun, Lotus, and Penglai will be shocked when they see it. "

"Elder Ant was not scared, was he? "Le Yun still smiles calmly.

"I was also frightened, 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, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "There have never been any traitors or sycophants 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. I will read to you the list of elixirs given by the little girl. "Listen,"

He took a breath, looked at the gift list again, and read slowly: "Thirty-six Biyun Pills, sixty Foundation-Building Pills, and one hundred Menstruation-Cleaning Marrow Pills; 300 capsules of Xiao Jing Shu Mui Pill;

12 pills of Huanyang Pill; 100 pills of top-grade Jiedu Pill, 200 pills of ordinary Jiedu Pill; 300 pills of Chuchen Pill; and Qushi Qingfei Pill Six hundred pills, one thousand pills of pure heart."

Elder Yi said to read the list of pills. The disciples of Guanyin Hall straightened their backs and pricked up their ears. When they heard "Biyun Pill" , those who were sitting stood up in unison, staring at Elder Yi and Little Miss Le in shock.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they listened to Elder Ant pronounce the name of the elixir in the same breath.

After listening to Elder Ant read out the list of elixirs, Elder Xing took a breath: "The gift is too heavy!"

"It's too heavy!" Other elders also agreed in unison.

"This is half of my current net worth." Le Yun grinned: "The last time I made alchemy, I have exhausted the precious medicinal materials collected. I don't know that the next time I will make alchemy will be in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. I In the future, we need to collect medicinal materials from all over the world, so Leshan will entrust it to Mr. Yi and all the elders and gentlemen. I would like to thank you for your troubles."

"You are not kind, you came here secretly, and I know you I really respect our sect and I can’t beat you even if I want to.

Damn it, forget it, I won’t argue with Ji Ji Wai Wai Wai Wai. My nephew, the head master, just take it all as ordered. In the future, I urge the boys to practice diligently. They are to serve as role models and backing for my little disciple, and to protect my little disciple from being bullied by outsiders. They cannot do it without strength."

Mr. Yi just read out the list of elixirs, handed the gift list back to the nephew of the head master, walked to his seat, walked to the little girl, and put his big hand on her head: "Next time you dare to scare me, I will beat you. No."

"Mr. Yi, you always think that I am crying and complaining to my brother. Do you think your little disciple will ask his masters and uncles to support him? "Le Yun is not afraid of the threat from Old Ant.

"You... you are 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 am not as knowledgeable as you, a little girl." Mr. Yi puffed his beard and glared for a while, then stopped, took another step, reached out and snatched the little disciple from his nephew's hand, and sat down holding it in his arms Go down.

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 he lived in was across the courtyard to the east of the main hall. The courtyard next to the main hall was where other senators lived. He lived in the second courtyard, Han style. The small courtyard has three upper rooms and east and west wing rooms. The style of the houses has a strong northern style.

Mr. Yi originally lived in a small courtyard with his two junior brothers. Since the two have become immortals, he is currently the only elder who lives in the same courtyard.

Head Li obeyed his uncle’s instructions and packed up the east wing of the small courtyard for Miss Leshan to live in. 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 his siblings to stay temporarily. Live in the same place, and later on, Leshan will naturally live in the same room with Master.

In the past, people who lived in small courtyards were determined by their ranking. The person ranked first lived in the upper room, and those ranked behind lived in the east and west compartments respectively. The middle room between the upper room and the east and west compartments was occupied. The living room, therefore, can ensure everyone's freedom even if multiple people live in the same house.

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 place in the south for the disciples to live in. If there are too many disciples to live in, then there will be no room for them. Arrange other courtyards for living.

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 a bedroom for the little girl in the east chamber facing north, with a two-step bed made of big-leaf red sandalwood, equipped with a wardrobe, a clothes screen, a multi-treasure pavilion and a desk. The furniture is rosewood.

Qiongdao is the origin of rosewood, and the best rosewood is Qiongdao rosewood.

The disciples of Guanyin Temple 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 the old age. It's okay, turn him around and lead the way to see the sea.

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 Guanyin Hall.

The place where Guanyin Hall is located is called Luhu Bay according to the topography, and the town is called Luhu Town.The town has a population of more than 10,000, almost all of whom are descendants of the disciples of the Guanyin Temple in the past generations. There are also a few families who have nothing to do with the disciples of the Guanyin Temple. They are families who have settled down due to doing business in the past twenty years.

The Guanyin Hall is located on the east side of Luhu Town, close to the short mountains extending from the northeast to the southeast surrounding the basin. Various tropical fruit trees are planted everywhere between the buildings, which are beautiful all year round. Fruity aroma.

On the road from the town to the bay, you have to walk about three miles to reach the notch that surrounds the gourd neck in the basin. You can detour about two miles to get out of the notch, and outside is the bay beach. .
