Chapter 74 Friendly Reminder
Zhou Meiniang is too young, and her little heart cannot bear such great pain. In addition, the broken leg bone has been going on for too long, and her recovery ability will decrease. She needs to improve her luck and recovery ability.
Pan Yun adjusted his breathing for a while, and after his spiritual power was complete and his mind was calm, he began to draw talismans.
When she stopped writing and looked up, there were already nine talismans drawn on the table. She had consumed a lot of her spiritual energy, making her feel a little tired.
She twisted her stiff neck and asked Wang Feiyin, who had arrived out of nowhere, "Big Brother, is today's ritual over?"
"Another Taoist priest has taken over," Wang Feiyin sat opposite her and glanced at the talisman on the table. "For Zhou Meiniang, the talisman is more suitable than the talisman."
Pan Yun was stunned, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm not good at talismans."
"I see. When you return to Sanqing Mountain, you can learn the talisman from your fourth sister. She is an expert in talismans."
Pan Yun agreed.
Wang Feiyin looked at her, hesitant to speak.
Pan Yun: "Brother, if you have anything to say, please speak up. I will listen carefully."
Wang Feiyin sighed, "Fifth Junior Sister, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying this to do anything bad. It's because it's destiny. Can you give me some of the money you have?"
Pan Yun immediately took out a hundred taels of silver from his pocket and said generously, "Brother, please!"
Wang Feiyin was extremely surprised. While stuffing the money into his sleeves, he asked, "Fifth Junior Sister, you can't regret this."
"No regrets. Once you rescue the person, there will be a reward of 100 taels. Give it all to Senior Brother."
Wang Feiyin pinched the money in his sleeves to make sure it was well placed, then he smiled and said, "In other words, you still have a lot of money on you?"
"Little Junior Sister, don't blame Senior Brother for not reminding you. You'd better spend all the money in the next two days. If you can keep as little as possible, then keep it for the temple. This is the will of heaven, and we must obey it."
Pan Yun: "If Taoist priests obey their fate, why do they still need to practice?"
Wang Feiyin: "Little Junior Sister, you are going astray, aren't you? We practice to understand the Dao, to get closer to the Dao, and to live forever with the Dao of Heaven, not to disobey orders."
Pan Yun: "During your last lecture, you said passionately that when we practice Taoism, we must fight against people, against heaven, and against fate!"
"Really? That's what your third brother said, right? How could I, such a kind and gentle person, say such rebellious words?" Wang Feiyin said, "We must follow the way of heaven, follow nature, and follow fate."
Seeing him looking up at a 45-degree angle to please Xu Yuan, Pan Yun couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "Brother, are you saying this to the Heavenly Dao or to the Master?"
Wang Feiyin glared at her and said, "Don't say anything, kid."
Pan Jun nodded thoughtfully, "I see, you can think about it in your mind."
So she stared into his eyes with her big eyes, hoping that he could read what was in her heart from her eyes.
Wang Feiyin slapped her head, stood up and said, "You can keep the rest of the money yourself. You didn't listen to the old man. You will understand after suffering a loss once. Bring the child to live with you tonight. Please pay attention to her. Her disaster will happen in the next two days."
Pan Yun agreed.
In the evening, Sun Xianniang and the wet nurse came over with the child in their arms and a bag on their backs.
Sun Xianniang's eyes were red. She cried the whole afternoon. She was worried about letting her daughter come alone, so she and the wet nurse also wanted to come and live with her.
There aren't enough beds.
Fortunately, the weather was not particularly cold at that time. We put a thick straw mat on the ground and then covered it with a quilt, which was also very warm.
It was spacious and warm. Miao He, who had just returned from a ritual, somersaulted on it, sat down hard and bounced up again, saying happily, "It's more comfortable than a bed, and it bounces."
Pan Yun drank hot water while holding a tea bowl, and sighed: "Old Madam Sun is different now that she has money. Isn't this family a success?"
Miao He was curious: "Wasn't Mrs. Sun able to be the head of the family before?"
Pan Yun: "If the old lady could be the head of the family, we would have watched a drama of an old mother beating her filial son the night we came."
Sun Xianniang on the side was a little embarrassed.
Miao Zhen glanced at her and said, "Little Master is reminding kind people that if you have money you can be the head of a family, and if you are the head of a family you will have money." Sun Xianniang: ...
Pan Yun smiled and nodded at her, "Mr. Sun, as long as you and your daughter survive this disaster, you will have more good fortunes to come."
Sun Xianniang seemed to be thinking about something.
Xuan Miao brought over the medicine that Tao Ji had prepared. Seeing so many people in the room, he was silent for a moment before handing the medicine bowl to Sun Xianniang. "This is medicine for the child. I will give the child an acupuncture after he has taken it."
Pan Yun came up to her and asked, "Senior Sister, you also know how to give acupuncture?"
Xuanmiao glanced at her and said, "Medicine and Taoism are inseparable. Aren't you also learning medical skills now? Although I am not as good as my two senior brothers, I still know the basic acupuncture techniques."
Sun Xianniang coaxed the child to take medicine.
Children who have undergone foot binding have very good tempers. Even if the medicine is bitter, they will just swallow it with tears in their eyes and dare not refuse it.
Pan Yun propped up her head and watched from the side, very puzzled, "Mr. Sun seemed to love the child very much, why didn't heed her crying and insisted on binding her feet?"
Sun Xianniang's body stiffened.
Miaozhen and Miaohe both looked at her curiously.
Pan Yun quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand, Mr. Sun, I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious. As for cultivation, you know, you need to ask your heart. Not only should you ask your own heart, but also ask the hearts of others. Ask about the heart of Taoism."
Sun Xianniang's eyes were confused: "Is this how cultivation works?"
Xuan Miao nodded, "That's right."
In fact, she was a little curious too.
Sun Xianniang glanced at their feet and found that they all had natural feet. Well, how could a Taoist priest bind his feet?
"Is it because you want to practice Taoism that your parents didn't bind your feet?"
Miaozhen: "I don't have any parents."
Miao He: "I was picked up from the bushes by Master Uncle, and I don't have any parents."
Xuanmiao: "There is no woman with bound feet in my family."
Pan Yun raised her hands high and said, "I, I, I have experience with foot binding."
Let's all look over together.
Pan Yun said proudly: "When the foot-binding lady took my feet, I burst into tears and cried so hard that my throat split. My mother felt sorry for me and stopped binding my feet."
Sun Xianniang hugged the child tightly and cried, "But, but this concerns the child's future. If her feet are not bound, she will have to find a lower-class marriage partner in the future. For example, I had two marriage proposals in front of me, one was the son of the county magistrate, and the other was the Zhou family. Because I did not bind my feet, I married into the Zhou family.
My eldest sister was the same. She had better choices back then, but as soon as the marriage proposal came, the marriage proposal was cancelled.
Foot binding is only a temporary pain, but getting married is a lifelong pain. I think when she grows up, she will understand me."
Xuanmiao: "Even if foot binding can kill people?"
"There are so many people with bound feet in this world, but how many of them die? How could I have known that my Mei Niang was so unlucky and was one of them?"
Pan Yun frowned, "The failure of marriage may not be due to foot binding..."
"It's about foot binding!" Sun Xianniang said firmly, "If you don't believe me, go to the officials' houses in Guangxin Prefecture and see who doesn't have three-inch golden lotus in their backyard? When choosing a daughter-in-law, the smaller the feet, the better."
Pan Jun opened his mouth and said after a while: "Who on earth came up with this disgusting thing that ruins people's fortune?"
She said forcefully: "Foot binding really brings bad luck to bad people and ruins Feng Shui!"
