Chapter 141: Hongsheng with his crooked mind
"I was drunk all day long and I heard that I had to climb the mountain in spring. ≤,
Because I met a monk in the bamboo courtyard, I secretly had half a day of leisure for a long time."
This poem says that a person is in a chaotic and drunken dream for a long time and spends this limited time in his life for no reason. One day, he suddenly found that spring was about to pass. So he forced himself to climb the mountain to enjoy the scenery of late spring. While visiting the temple, he accidentally met and chatted with a monk, and it was rare to have a moment of leisure in this chaotic world.
They are taking a break from their busy schedule, but Cai Hongming is obviously too leisurely.
When his wife became pregnant, he stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. He stayed with his wife during the day and at night, and he almost became a wife slave.
Seeing his wife's bigger and bigger belly, Cai Hongming became more and more cautious. After dinner, he held his wife's hand, took a routine walk, and walked towards his father's shop. Along the way, people he knew greeted him one after another. Some young girls even looked envious. It seemed that if you were to say, "If you have a husband like this, what do you want to have a girl!"
There were no customers in the store, so Cai Tianfu saw his son coming and went out for a walk.
Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er sat on the chair next to the tea table and rested, intending to wait a moment before going back. At this time, Cai Hongsheng sneaked in from outside and sat beside him.
If you show your diligence for nothing, you will either be traitor or steal. Many times, what the ancients said makes sense.
So, Cai Hongming didn't say anything, just had tea. Cai Hongsheng was not as patient as him, and he couldn't hold it in a few seconds and said, "Brother, can you transfer Songna and me to the Suzhou branch?"
The Suzhou branch has been renovated. Cai Hongming took the time to take a look and was very satisfied with the decoration. He had asked the staff to decorate the branch in Nanjing. When he went to see it, he bought the kitchen utensils, tables, chairs and other items in the store, and could open it just waiting for the staff to come over. So he has been considering who to go to the branch to help recently. Unexpectedly, Hongsheng actually asked to go there himself today.
He didn't know what he was trying to make, but he just wanted to let himself and Songna go there and catch the moon first.
But the fat man Su Cancheng also likes Songna, which is not easy to deal with.
After thinking about it, Cai Hongming said: "You should tell Songna about this matter. If she wants to go, she will go. If she doesn't want to go, she will stay. What's the use of telling me?"
When Hongsheng heard this, he was anxious, "Why is it useless? You are the boss. Let anyone go over there. Isn't it just a matter of one sentence?"
"You think it's so simple, and you have to consider Songna's feelings no matter what. She has never been far away. Besides, Suzhou is so far away from here, she will definitely not want to go."
"What should I do?"
"Cold salmon," Cai Hongming said: "If you pick up girls, you have to do your own things. You have to be sincere, have sweet words, and have romantic feelings. It is useless to do these tricks."
Seeing Cai Hongming talking nonsense about his younger brother picking up girls, Shi Wan'er glanced at him angrily, saying that he was a love saint, and he had never seen him do anything to him at the beginning.
"Brother Hongming." At this time, Songna's voice sounded from behind.
Cai Hongming turned his head and found that Songna had arrived at the back at some point, "Songna is back."
"Well. Brother Hongming, I'll go in first." Songna walked in slowly, and suddenly turned around and said, "Brother Hongming, it doesn't matter where I go."
"Well"
Songna's face was somehow red. When Hongsheng saw Songna, he became a fool and looked at her foolishly. When she got in, she took Cai Hongming's hand and said, "Brother, you must help me. I found that I really fell in love with Songna. She is so beautiful and kind. Just like the snow lotus in Tianshan, so pure and flawless."
Cai Hongming directly sprayed the tea in his mouth. He didn't realize that his younger brother still had the potential to be a poet.
It seems that love is really great.
Fortunately, his parents didn't know where they went and didn't hear these words, otherwise they wouldn't know what kind of slandering words they would say. His mother likes to do the most is to hit people. I guess after listening to them, she would immediately say, "Oh, Hongsheng is really good at writing poetry, unlike the unlucky child in the old Zhang family next door who would say, "Ah, the white clouds in the sky are so white, very white, very white, very white, very white, very white, very white, very white, very white, very white, very white, very white, so white, so terribly white, so utterly white, so utterly dead, ah."
I guess Hongsheng should have the desire to die at that time.
Cai Hongming was about to answer the conversation when he heard Su Cancheng's voice coming from outside, "Brother Hong, we can't be biased! No matter how you say I have been with you for several years. Even if you don't have any hard work, you can't give my future wife out just because Hongsheng is your younger brother!"
"What's your future wife? Songna didn't say she wanted to marry you." Hongsheng said disdainfully on the side.
Su Cancheng said solemnly and seriously: "But I have made a decision. I have made a decision in my heart before you come."
"That's your business."
"Stop quarrel." Cai Hongming was so annoyed by the two of them that he simply said: "Otherwise, you two will go there and Songna stay here to help."
"No." Su Cancheng and Hongsheng said in unison.
"Why can't it work?" Cai Hongming said strangely.
"Brother Hong, you don't know that the new guys who came to our store looked at Songna one by one, just like wolves on the grassland, with their eyes emitting a green light of Ulaura, which was so terrible. If we hadn't protected us, Songna would definitely be bullied by them here."
I was afraid that the moon would be chased away by people first. Cai Hongming didn't know the dirty things in their hearts.
"Otherwise, you three might as well go together. You won't come back so soon anyway. After the Suzhou store is busy, you probably have to go to the Nanjing branch to help again. You may not be able to go home for the New Year during the Spring Festival. You have to tell your family about this, do you know?"
After hearing his arrangements, Su Cancheng and Hongsheng thought about it and didn't say anything else.
After dealing with these two guys, Cai Hongming went to talk to Songna again. Songna belongs to Tibetans and spends Tibetans' Tibetan years. So the Spring Festival doesn't matter to her at all, so she agreed.
The Tibetan calendar is called "Losar" in Tibetan, and is popular in Tibetan areas such as Tibet, Qinghai, etc. The Tibetan calendar New Year is different from the Lunar New Year, usually one or one month apart. The dates of the Tibetan calendar also vary from place to place. For example, Lassa and other places celebrate the New Year on the first day of the first lunar month of the Tibetan calendar, and the Chamdo area celebrates the New Year on November 1st of the Tibetan calendar, and the south of the Chu River is the New Year on November 1st of the Tibetan calendar.
Tibetans’ Tibetan years are very important festivals for Tibetans and very grand.
Generally, if it is the New Year in January, the Tibetans will start preparing for the New Year from the beginning of the twelfth month of the Tibetan calendar, just like the Han people's preparations for the Spring Festival.
They will first supply the cultivated barley seedlings on the double cabinet in front of the Buddha. By the middle of the month, each household will start to fry the fruit with ghee and flour. When the end of the year is approaching the end of the year, each household must have tsampa mixed with ghee, fried barley grains, ginseng fruit and other foods, insert barley ears, and prepare a colorful ghee-shaped sheep head. All of this is to wish for good weather, prosperity and prosperity in the coming year, and a happy harvest.
On December 29th, Tibetans began to clean the kitchen and painted the "Eight Auspicious Emblems" with dry flour on the wall in the middle.
In the evening, the family sat around and ate "Gutu" (a kind of cooked dough lump). After eating Gutu, a grand ceremony to send ghosts to avoid ghosts and drive away evil spirits.
It is the New Year's Eve that the official New Year begins.
Outside the door of each household, the eight auspicious symbols symbolizing good fortune are painted with lime powder. A new "card pad" is laid on the cleaned room. Various fried fruits and fruits, as well as ghee, tea bricks, dried fruits and other offerings are stacked in front of the Buddha niche in the main room. The first day of the lunar month is usually the day when family reunion is reunited. Tibetans will get up early and put on new clothes. First, worship the gods, then hold grain dumplings and barley wine in their hands to greet each other, say some auspicious congratulations, and then start drinking the hot barley wine made the day before, eating ginseng fruits cooked with oatmeal and ghee.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, relatives and friends began to greet each other.
From the fourth day of the year, Rajsa held a large-scale convening meeting. This was the first prayer meeting created by Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, in 1409, in order to commemorate the devils of Sham. Khamuni. At first, monks from the three major temples recited scriptures and prayed in front of the statue of Sham. Khamuni, preached and debated scriptures, established a sect, and obtained the new Rajangbagshi degree (the highest degree in Tibetan Buddhism). During the Dharma Assembly, in addition to the government giving gifts to monks, believers from all over the world also came here to add lamps to offer gifts to Buddhas and distribute gifts.
The Dharma Assembly did not end until January 25th after welcoming Maitreya Buddha.
For Tibetans, there is another important festival in January, namely the Butter Lamp Festival on the 15th of January.
During the day, people go to various temples to visit Buddha. At night, various flower stands are built all over the streets. The tallest ones are as high as three-story buildings, and the lower ones are as high as two-story buildings. There are colorful gods, figures, birds, beasts and flowers and trees made of butter, either tall and magnificent, or small and exquisite. With the illumination of hundreds of lights, the entire street is dazzling and brilliant. From January 24th to 26th, archery competitions and the ritual of exorcism of gods and ghosts were held. At that time, Rasa was crowded with people and was very lively.
