Chapter 195: An inspection revealed a problem
Everything is ready, so I am not in a hurry anymore.
On January 14th, I went home to rest for the morning. I slept until 10 a.m. The company needed a car, so Yifan went there early.
My mother came back from buying groceries. Seeing that I had just washed up, she said, "We have something important to do tomorrow. Are you going to rest?"
I finished washing my face and walked into the living room, smiling. "It seems like there's so much going on, just like a wedding back home, where everyone has their own responsibilities. The person setting off the firecrackers is only responsible for setting off the firecrackers, and the person receiving the distinguished guests is only responsible for entertaining the guests. I only have two jobs, and I've already mastered them by heart."
"Oh," she put the dishes into the kitchen, washed her hands, made two cups of tea, one for me and one on the table, then sat down opposite me.
Once she sat like this, as was her custom, she would come to me for a formal conversation. She took a sip of tea and said, "Shangzhou is not like Wuxiang. There are many more beautiful and capable people than Xiaolin."
Hearing this, I suddenly realized that Yifan wasn't Xiaolin's spy, but my mother's spy. No wonder Yifan acted like an imperial envoy in front of me; it turned out he was serving the Queen.
I teased her deliberately: "Well, if I had known I would come to Shangzhou, I wouldn't have looked for Xiaolin."
"It's not too late now. You're not married."
After hearing what my mother said, I knew she was very angry.
She knocked on the table. "I'll tell you the truth. A harmonious family depends on the compatibility of two people. Take me for example. You all think your father is honest. He's not honest, he's gentle. That's why I become a bit fierce. If I'm not fierce, those people in the village will bully us."
But your father still has the final say on major matters. So, when a couple is together, regardless of who is stronger or weaker, what matters is compatibility. Xiaolin has three great qualities: First, she's virtuous, respectful of elders, and friendly to neighbors. Second, she's smart and capable, so you don't have to worry about her work. Third, she's decent, which is very important. A beautiful city girl flirts with other men outside. Can you stand it?"
I nodded and said, "I know. She represents the three great virtues."
My mother stretched out her hand, pretending to hit me, and said, "I'm talking to you seriously, and you're just laughing. How is Xiaolin any worse than others?
She's just as good-looking as anyone else. She's incredibly capable. Those girls from the theater troupe can't even move a flower pot. They're always yelling, "Brother Wan, come help me move it, come on!" It gives me goosebumps just hearing that.
My grandparents and my mother not only imitated the girls' sweet voices, but also stood up and twisted their waists to imitate the girls' coquettish looks.
I laughed so hard I slammed the table and chairs. When I was done laughing, I said, "You can go back to work at the troupe tomorrow."
She said seriously, "I'm talking to you seriously, don't ignore it. If you have any second thoughts, your father and I will go back to our hometown to live."
It sounded so serious. I had no choice but to put on a serious face and said, "Don't worry. When I'm working outside, if someone scratches or pinches me, will I scold her? It's just a casual act. I only have Xiaolin in my heart."
"That's right."
"You arranged for a man from my mother's family to be my assistant. He is still very loyal to you."
My mother's face turned fierce: "It's for your own good. Don't say anything to him."
"No. He's quite clever and has been a great help to me."
"Among those with the surname Jiang, which one is bad?" She walked into the kitchen proudly and started stewing chicken.
There is Niujin (Tianjin) University, but unfortunately there is no Jijin University. Otherwise, she could also become the president.
After lunch, I went to the hotel.
The hotel was packed today, with guests from all walks of life checking in. The screens scrolled with messages like, "Warmly welcome all leaders and guests to stay at the Sunrise Hotel." and "The grand opening ceremony of Taiyi Temple will be held on January 15th."
I was stunned for a moment, then stood at the door and read it again. I couldn't help but laugh. It turned out to be scrolling backwards and forwards. I read it wrong. It should be: "The grand opening ceremony of Taiyi Temple will be held on January 15th. We warmly welcome all leaders and guests to stay at the Rising Sun Hotel."
After entering the hall, there were some billboards in the lobby, which were nothing more than introductions to the attractions of Taiyi Mountain. Suddenly, my eyes fell on the last billboard.
Night Talk - Help you solve the confusion in your heart.
Renowned psychological counselor and abbot of Taiyi Temple, Master Honghui, with his compassion, wisdom, and benevolence, can help you resolve your inner confusion and point you to a bright future. Contact: Jiang Yifan, Tel: 137XXXXXXXX
I was stunned and immediately walked away. In the elevator, I remembered that the PR department had indeed discussed this matter with me a few days ago. They had even specifically asked for my Taoist ID number.
I went upstairs and knocked on Yifan's door. He opened it and immediately ran back to the bed. He was only wearing shorts.
"Tired, huh?"
"Yes, I went to the high-speed rail station to pick people up and had boxed lunches."
"Then we have to pick them up in the afternoon. There are a lot of people."
"I don't need to go. Mr. Cao said he wants me to guarantee your car this afternoon. Whoever wants to use it will be forced to take it back."
"Have you seen the advertisement in the lobby?"
“Where is the time to watch commercials?”
So I repeated the content of the advertisement.
He asked, "What if I study acupuncture in the future?"
"There's no contradiction. You're just answering a phone call, just like a night chat. You answer the phone, ask the other party about their situation, and tell me in time. Anyway, there's only one night chat every night, and no more."
"Yes, yes, Ye Tan doesn't want me to come over and make tea."
As they were talking, Yifan's cell phone rang.
Someone actually asked.
Yifan answered the phone and talked for a while: "Price? Let's not talk about the price first, let me ask him if he has time."
I shook my head. "Tell him I'm available tomorrow night and the price is one thousand per hour."
Yifan said a few words, hung up, and said to me, "He's definitely coming tomorrow night. His last name is Lan."
I said, "You can sleep until three o'clock, and then we can go to Taiyi Temple."
At 4 p.m., I arrived at Taiyi Temple promptly. Shiyu was already wearing his Taoist robes. I looked at him and asked, "Where did you buy these robes?"
Shiyu said, "I don't know. Mr. Xiao sent someone to deliver them."
I said to Shiyu, "Let's go into the temple."
The Taoist priests were all busy, some were cleaning statues, some were sweeping the floor. I waved, "Come here, all of you."
Everyone came to me.
"Garment factories nowadays are uneducated. How could they sew six buttons on a Taoist robe? Find a piece of yellow cloth and sew one button on the bottom. It doesn't matter if the two buttons are a little closer together."
When everyone looked, they saw that they all had six cloth buttons. They all said that the factory nowadays only cared about making money.
After we left the house, Yifan asked me, "Does the Taoist robe require five grains?"
"Originally, all clothes should have an odd number of grains. Odd numbers are yang, and even numbers are yin. Clothes should have seven grains. This garment factory messed it up."
Shiyu said, "I didn't do my job well and forgot to check."
"You need to strengthen your sense of responsibility in the future. For those who do specific work, details are important. For those who grasp the overall situation, direction is important. You are neither big nor small, so you need to take care of both aspects."
"Okay. Thank you for your guidance, Abbot."
