Chapter 185 Worshipping Guanyin
The guessing game is over, and the next step is to pay the bills.
In the past, the work of Bao Li Shi was done by Ou Zichen, Ou Zilong and Lin Zhenzhu, a family of three.
Two new hostesses were added this year, and these tasks will be left to them from now on.
In previous years, a cash red envelope of one million was enough. This year, with the return of Zhao Jiaying and the addition of two new wives, it is estimated that more people will come to their house to pay New Year's greetings, so they have to prepare a cash red envelope of two million.
Just now, Ou Zilong came over with two million in cash, which weighed fifty or sixty kilograms, so how could it not be heavy!
The money has doubled, so the number of red envelopes to be packed has also increased, but the number of manpower has also doubled, so it won’t take particularly long.
The red envelopes are divided into three amounts: three thousand three, six thousand six, and nine thousand nine.
People who come to the Ou family to pay New Year's greetings are generally either rich or noble, so they are not short of money.
The reason for including such a large amount is to have a good intention.
Anyone who comes to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Zhenzhu, whether adult or child, can receive a red envelope from her.
Children would usually give three thousand and three, a number that implies vitality and vigor.
As for the six thousand six given by adults, this number means good luck.
The other 9,900 is usually given to newly married couples, symbolizing longevity. Just like Ou Zichen and his wife, and Ou Zilong and his wife, so this year, they will both receive red envelopes of 9,900 yuan from Lin Zhenzhu.
The family of six divided the work and started to wrap red envelopes.
There are three colors of red envelopes: orange, pink, and bright red.
Lin Zhenzhu and Zhao Jiaying gave gifts worth 3,300 yuan in orange red envelopes.
Ou Zichen and Zhao Yunxi, their bags were worth 6,600 yuan and they used pink red envelopes.
Ou Zilong and Su Meng packed the 9,900 yuan gift bags in bright red red red envelopes.
With everyone's joint efforts, we finally finished wrapping all the red envelopes in half an hour.
"Okay, it's done." These words were said by Zhao Jiaying.
There was a whole box of red envelopes. It was the first time that Zhao Jiaying had seen so many red envelopes and so much money.
Not only Zhao Jiaying, but also Zhao Yunxi and Su Meng.
During the Chinese New Year, they have to spend two million to give out a red envelope. It turns out that poverty has limited their imagination.
The life of rich people is really unimaginable for poor people like them.
But now, the two of them have officially entered the world of the rich and become real wealthy ladies. I will need to slowly adapt to this kind of life in the future.
Of course, even though the Ou family is very rich now, they will spend the money that should be spent, and will not spend the money that should not be spent indiscriminately. They will not squander their money lavishly just because their family has more money than they can spend in several lifetimes.
These red envelopes are for Lin Zhenzhu to give out alone.
Ou Zichen and Ou Zilong got married this year, so starting from this year, they also have to give out red envelopes.
However, they only need to issue it to underage children.
So, they returned to the room and continued to give red envelopes, and they only had to give 3,300 yuan.
I was busy until about eleven o'clock in the evening and all the tasks for today were completed.
The next day, it arrived as expected.
Today is New Year's Eve, and there are many things to do.
Everyone got up early in the morning.
After breakfast, we would go to the Ou Family Ancestral Hall to burn incense to our ancestors.
Next, we have to set off to a Guanyin temple in the west of the city to worship Guanyin. This is the custom of many local people, especially Lin Zhenzhu, who is a Buddhist believer, so she pays more attention to it.
This Guanyin Temple is very large and very effective, so every year during festivals, many people go to worship Guanyin.
The only drawback is that this Guanyin Temple is halfway up the mountain, and to enter the temple and worship Guanyin, you have to climb the mountain first.
However, the so-called mountain climbing is not the kind of rock climbing. The mountain roads leading to the Guanyin Temple have been built into stairs, and you just need to walk up along the stairs.
In fact, this Guanyin Temple was not as big as it is now, nor was it as prosperous as it is now.
It was just that when Lin Zhenzhu took over the Ou Group, she accidentally came to inspect the factory nearby and discovered this Guanyin Temple, so she went up to pay her respects.
Somehow, when I saw the statue of Guanyin, I felt a special affinity with it and liked it very much.
So, from then on, she often came to this Guanyin Temple to worship.
Not only that, she also spent a lot of money to renovate the entire Guanyin Temple and repair the road up the mountain.
The purpose of doing this is, firstly, to accumulate blessings for the Ou family, and secondly, to allow more people to come here to worship.
Perhaps it was because Goddess Guanyin saw Lin Zhenzhu's kindness and piety, so since then, their Ou family has been going smoothly.
When she was younger, Lin Zhenzhu would go to worship with her brother Ou Zichen on New Year’s Eve every year.
But as I got older, I couldn't climb mountains anymore, so I stopped going. Only the two brothers Ou Zichen and Ou Zilong went by themselves!
Normally, Zhao Yunxi should have gone with them this year, but because she was pregnant and not suitable for mountain climbing, she had to stay at home with Lin Zhenzhu.
In the end, only Ou Zichen, Zhao Jiaying, Ou Zilong and Su Meng went.
It takes about 40 minutes to drive from Oujia Manor to the foot of Guanyin Temple Mountain. It takes twenty minutes to walk from the foot of the mountain to the Guanyin Temple if you walk fast, and maybe forty to fifty minutes if you walk slowly.
The auspicious time for burning incense is ten o'clock, so they must arrive at the Guanyin Temple before nine fifty.
At exactly nine o'clock, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.
After Ou Zichen parked the car, he took the offerings out of the trunk.
There were quite a lot of things, so he and Ou Zilong each took some.
"Su Meng, Zilong and I will go get the things. Please hold Yingbao and follow us."
We still need to pay attention to safety issues, because there are quite a lot of people coming to worship Guanyin and burn incense today.
"Don't worry, big brother. I will hold Yingbao's hand tightly."
"Then let's go..."
At this time, some people had already come down from the mountain, and some were just preparing to go up the mountain.
The roads going up and down the mountain were originally built separately, the width of the stairs was made particularly large, and guardrails were added on both sides of the road.
The purpose of doing this is to prevent accidents from happening when there are too many people and everyone is pushing and shoving each other.
If you fall from a mountain like this, it will be fatal. Even if you don't die, you will be paralyzed on one side of your body.
Lin Zhenzhu had thought very carefully at the beginning and spared no expense to repair the road.
Therefore, it is only natural that the Bodhisattva has always blessed their Ou family.
