Chapter 82 Worship God
The old lady didn't wake up until the evening.
When I woke up, my whole body was numb, as if I had been frozen.
But when I opened my eyes, there was a floor heating on in the room and I was covered with a brocade quilt.
Ever since Nanny Lin died, there hasn't been anyone considerate around her.
When Mrs. Xu heard that the old lady had a high fever at night and also said that her body was numb, she asked the court doctor to come over.
After prescribing the medicine, the court doctor looked a little worried: "Madam, the old lady can't stand any more stimulation. I'm afraid she may have a stroke."
Mrs. Xu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her face full of heartache.
After the court doctor left, Xu's face looked indifferent.
"It's better to stimulate her more. Raise some cats and dogs, and let them out to scare her from time to time." Xu said lightly.
Thanks to the past, everyone knows that she is a love-brained person and a filial daughter-in-law!
No one would doubt her.
"Did Chaochao say that?" asked Xu.
Dengzhi shook his head: "I didn't find out anything."
"I ate the chicken drumstick but didn't say anything."
Xu waved her hand. Chaochao just wanted to wash up, so she took Chaochao to take a bath.
The little guy was sitting in the bathtub, splashing water and having a lot of fun.
"Chao Chao, where did you go with the money you borrowed today?" Xu asked gently.
[Mother seems a little worried. Chaochao is a good boy and won’t lie to mother…]
"Uncle, my uncle bought something..." Lu Chaochao blew bubbles.
Xu was stunned. Since it was given to her eldest brother, there was nothing to say.
"My dear... I don't like daddy."
"Liangqin, can Daddy change?"
"Liangqin..."
"Wo, I want someone who can make money."
"I want someone to play with Wo!"
"I want one, an official one!"
"Okay, do you want three fathers?" She looked at Xu eagerly.
Xu choked.
She brought the teacup with a smile: "Chao Chao, hold your saliva in your mouth when you take a bath. It's good for your body. Don't swallow it."
Chao Chao looked at her in confusion?
Really?
She picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.
With puffy cheeks, he sat in the basin looking at his mother with an obedient look on his face.
After Xu finished bathing and put on her clothes, she said, "You can swallow the water now. Chao Chao is really great..."
After Lu Chaochao lay on the bed, Xu turned off the lights and quietly left.
"Madam, is it really good for your health to hold your saliva in your mouth while taking a bath? I have never heard of such a recipe." Dengzhi looked amazed.
There was a smile in Xu's eyes.
"She talks too much, drools, and has no time to talk."
Climb the branch? ! ! !
Madam, how can you be such a lady!
Poor Miss Chaochao, she suffers from her lack of education.
I was stunned by the trick.
Lu Chaochao fell into a deep sleep.
And the emperor.
Didn't sleep all night.
"Do you think Chao Chao is a lucky charm given to Bei Zhao by God?"
"She is here to rescue our Beizhao."
"My son, I used this truth talisman on Proton. It actually worked!" The emperor's eyes sparkled.
"My son..." The emperor hesitated for a moment.
The prince looked at him suspiciously.
"If Chaochao's ability falls into the hands of outsiders, it will be a great disaster for Beizhao." The emperor looked solemn.
The prince immediately stood up and knelt at the emperor's feet.
"Father, Chaochao is still a one-year-old child. I can guarantee her loyalty to Beizhao. She has absolutely no second thoughts about Beizhao." The prince was a little anxious.
The emperor waved his hand.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Will the emperor emeritus slap me in my dreams?" Every night, the emperor emeritus would appear in his dreams and give him instructions, asking him to treat Lu Chaochao well.
"What I mean is..."
“Only with our own people can we feel more at ease.”
"So...what do you think about me marrying Xu?" Anyway, Lu Yuanze has a mistress, and divorce is only a matter of time.
"Or, arrange a marriage between you and Chao Chao?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." The prince choked suddenly.
"Father, no, no, no. I can't do it!"
The prince's face turned red with anxiety.
"Your son..." The prince took a deep breath.
"Father, your son, I was destined to die. It was Chao Chao who defied heaven and changed my fate and saved my life. Your son..." The prince gritted his teeth.
"She shared her lifespan with me in order to save me. Now, I can only be her slave and enjoy her lifespan."
The emperor was shocked.
But thinking of what the retired emperor said, he sighed dejectedly again.
"Let's get a divorce first. Divorce first and talk later."
How could Lu Yuanze know this at this moment.
Someone has long been eyeing his despised wife.
At the beginning of the year, Lu Yuanze scraped together money and sold a lot of his belongings.
He even took back the farm that he had given to Lu Jingyao just to pay back the money.
It is said that Pei Jiaojiao's eyes turned red with anger.
In order to collect the twenty-five thousand taels, Lu Yuanze even borrowed money from a loan shark!
The whole person looked much gloomier.
Not only to pay back more than 20,000 taels of silver.
What's more, he couldn't even borrow so much money! ! !
I had no choice but to borrow money from a loan shark with extremely high interest rates!
Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
Soon, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is both the Lantern Festival and the festival for praying to gods.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year is the time for the whole nation to worship gods.
Rumor has it that someone once received the favor of the gods, who descended and fulfilled the wishes of the believers.
Of course, this is a myth passed down orally, and no one knows whether it is true or not.
It is said that when the gods come, both heaven and earth know it.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The old lady went out early in the morning, saying that she was going to worship Buddha.
Xu knew that they went to Pei's house.
Su Zhiqing couldn't stop him either.
Xu prepared the incense table early and prepared offerings according to the rules of previous years. She even started burning incense, bathing, and eating vegetarian food three days in advance.
The entire capital city was preparing in an orderly manner.
Even more serious than the Chinese New Year.
Everyone wants a response from God.
"The gods of the Southern Kingdom should often receive responses from the gods, right?" Xu sighed and said nothing more.
Lu Chaochao has no interest in worshipping gods.
She was very interested in offerings to the gods.
In order to show sincerity, all the tributes were made on the same day.
Various crispy cakes and fragrant roast chicken fill the whole house with aroma.
"What...time to say goodbye?" Lu Chaochao clasped his hands together.
She couldn't stop drooling.
"You can't eat it secretly."
"The gods are watching."
"At night, when the moon is full."
Lu Chaochao tilted his head: "Worship, what are you worshipping, where is the god?" Which god?
Lu Chaochao reached out and touched the roast chicken, then put his hand into his mouth.
His eyes lit up instantly.
Wow, what a delicious taste.
"Well...actually, I'm not too sure." Xu shook her head.
"This one is the Lord of Heaven and Earth. He is in charge of all the gods, and there are no legends about him among the people."
Lu Chaochao said "oh".
She was looking forward to it...
I waited until it got dark, waited until the full moon was in the sky, waited until the lights were lit all over the city.
Xu placed the altar in the center of the yard.
The altar was covered with cloth that reached the ground...
It was filled with offerings.
A few meters away, there was a futon, and Xu brought all the servants in the mansion to worship the gods.
"Where is Chaochao?" asked Xu.
Wasn’t she waiting to worship God long ago?
"He was here just now. I guess he went back to his room." There was someone guarding the gate, so he must have not left the yard. Dengzhi was not in a hurry.
"Pray to the gods first. We can't miss the auspicious time."
Xu then led a grand procession of people to worship the gods.
And Lu Chaochao, lying under the altar, fell into a deep sleep.
He was still muttering: roast chicken, roast chicken...
