Chapter 353 – The Impending Pain Of The Country! (1/2)

Chapter 353: The impending pain of the country!

Some people say that the world is like this: a good horse matches a good saddle, a good s.h.i.+p matches good sails, a b.a.s.t.a.r.d with a r.e.t.a.r.d, and an idiot matches with a cripple.

Li Muyang was thinking that, in the eyes of Song Tao, is he a b.a.s.t.a.r.d or a cripple?

He asked him whether he likes Taohong or Liulu, but he was subconsciously reminding him to know his own status. You are just a cart driver, your future companion can only be Taohong or Liulu, such servant girls——of course, that is under the conditions that you are very diligent and hardworking, and Miss Xiaoxin is satisfied with you, then she will betroth her servant to you.

As for a woman like Cui Xiaoxin, you don't even have to think about it.

Li Muyang shook his head repeatedly, a face of panic: “No, I don't like it.”

“What? You think they're not beautiful enough for you?” Song Tao had a ruminative smile, finding Li Muyang's face quite interesting.

“No, no. They are both very beautiful. Also too good for me.” Li Muyang showed a simpleminded look, as he cautiously said, “I heard——heard——”

“Heard what?”

“I heard that the servants of Miss must follow her to marry. Whoever Miss marries, the servant girls also have to——marry him.” Li Muyang desperately shook his head, with an honest look as though he was saying I did not think about it and this sort of thing would absolutely not happen to me. “If you give me the servants, what about Miss?”

“You——” Song Tao looked at Li Muyang's cautious looking face, itching to punch it.

Yes, it's the custom of Tiandu. The personal servant girls of a young Miss will generally follow the young miss and marry into the husband's family. If the young miss and husband are both happy with it, then those servant girls will also take care of the husband, have and raise children for the husband. This is to prevent the husband of having thoughts of taking concubines.

Of course, these girls generally have no status in the family.

There are some occasions that the young miss is kind hearted or the husband does not want to marry too many, they will find a loyal and honest person for her personal servants to marry. This was the case for Li Muyang's mother Luo Qi.

In other words, when you buy a pearl you may be gifted a few fish eyes——how could someone buy a pair of fish eyes and also ask for an invaluable pearl?

In Song Tao's view, when Li Muyang asked what about the young miss if he marries her servants, it was the same as buying fish eyes and asking about the pearl.

However, it was difficult for him to state this clearly. Also this boy had a look of fear and refusal, it seemed that he really was worried he has to marry the young miss——How could such a person not be beaten to death yet and is still alive now?

“I really am not good enough for Miss Xiaoxin.” Li Muyang stated.

Song Tao, shocked for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He reached out and patted Li Muyang on the shoulder, and smiled, “interesting. It's really interesting. Did not expect to meet such a strange person on my trip to White cloud mountain——You do not have to worry, someone will marry Miss Xiaxoin. But it will not be a goods exchanging trade. You just have to do your job.”

“Yes. I will do my best.” Li Muyang said loudly.

Between joking, the crowd had reached Thousand Buddha Temple.

Because someone had went up the mountain to notify the temple in advance, an attendant monk called Fazheng of Thousand Buddha Temple had already stood at the doorway along with several monks to welcome them.

Thousand Buddha Temple in Tiandu, did not pay attention to matters outside of the mountains and wholeheartedly serve Maitreya Buddha. But the descendants of the Song family and Cui family have personally came to wors.h.i.+p the Buddha, they should be given enough respect and attention.

Besides, there were such important customers coming to pray for blessings, presumably they would donate a large amount of money?

Fazheng bowed to Song Tao and Cui Xiaoxin, and then learned that Li s.h.i.+nian was Cui Xiaoxin's close friend, bowed to Li s.h.i.+nian.

Fazheng led Cui Xiaoxin, Li s.h.i.+nian and Song Tao inside the temple to pray, and ordered a few monks to take Li Muyang and other escorts to the back courtyard to settle down to rest. Because Song Tao mentioned to Fazheng that they plan to have a vegetarian meal in Thousand Buddha Temple and write scriptures, so they will be staying the night.

Li Muyang's status was low, so he was not qualified to follow.

Li s.h.i.+nian walked over to remind Li Muyang, “Put my luggage in the room. Remember to take good care of my s...o...b..ll.”

Then lowered her voice to a voice that only the two could hear. “My s...o...b..ll is in the cage. Bring it out to get some air. If there's anything that you need me, bring s...o...b..ll and say he's not well——”

“——”

Li s.h.i.+nian hastily said a few words, then quickly followed Cui Xiaoxin and Song Tao to the front courtyard to pray.

Cui Meng came over and nudged Li Muyang with his elbow. “Brother, you're rich now? When you get back, you have to get Big brother a drink.”

Li Muyang nodded, “okay.”

“Wonderful.” Cui Meng did not expect Li Muyang to be so loyal, he thought of the phrase 'don't forget your friends when you become rich'. So, touched, he threw his arms around Li Muyng's shoulder, “Let's go, brother, we're going to have a good time. I tell you, our young miss is the best master. She means what she says, she would certainly help you when you have trouble——How about this, you ask her to let Taohong marry you? Look how thin Little Taohong's waist is, it will be broken with one pinch——”

Li Muyang shot a glare at Cui Meng: “If you be quiet for a moment, I will buy you two drinks.”

“——”

Thousand Buddha Temple was popular and attended by many wors.h.i.+ppers, so many pilgrims stay overnight on the mountain, and Thousand Buddha Temple also specially provides many quiet rooms.

The rooms in the monastery were divided into front and back courtyard. The Master stayed in the front courtyard while servants and bodyguards in the back courtyard.

The attendant Monk saw that Cui Meng and Li Muyang were close, so he kindly allocated the two people to one room.
