Chapter 901

The two families walked together, enjoying the flowers and chatting in the Hanmei Garden, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At noon, Xu Lang invited them to enjoy a vegetarian meal together.

"In the early years, Xiangshan Temple issued an order for incense offerings. The abbot took pity on the monks in the temple and went down the mountain to beg for alms. We met by chance and gave them some food. The abbot was grateful and we occasionally got together and became friends. I have eaten the vegetarian meals in the temple many times and the taste is okay. If the prefect doesn't mind, we can have some together."

"Don't refuse, Yi Ren. Although it is just a vegetarian meal, the taste is really good. The vegetarian dishes provided by the temple are all grown by the abbot and the monks. The dishes grown in such a quiet place have a taste different from those outside."

Listening to the tone of Madam Xu, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but smile.

"No wonder many people say that the vegetarian meals in the temple are quite famous. One by one, they all say that it must have its unique features. In this case, we won't be polite."

"Yi Ren is modest." Madam Xu said, and warmly invited Bai Yunxi to have dinner with her.

Xiao Si looked at the two brothers of the Xu family standing next to Miss Xu, and approached them with a smile,

"Brother Xu, let's go together."

"...Okay, let's go together." Xu Yuankai glanced at his younger brother, asked him to take good care of his sister, and then followed Xiao Si.

Li looked at the Xu brothers and sisters who were left behind, walked forward, and directly took her hand,

"Don't be afraid, sister Xu, come with us.

Xu Ruier was held by Li's hand, and looked back at her second brother, with helplessness in her eyes.

Xiao Wu looked at the familiar look of his family members, his eyes were helpless, cleared his throat, and stretched out his hand to Xu Lang,

"Please come in, Mr. Xu."

"Please come in, Mr. Zhizhou. "

Xu Lang twitched his lips. The family of the prefect was really different from other families, at least different from the official families in the past. From beginning to end, they never looked down on them.

In these years of doing business, although he dared not say that he was sure of people, he rarely missed them.

Although he had the reputation of a Confucian businessman, in the eyes of officials, he was still a businessman full of money. Because of this, he still had to go to the same industry to propose marriage.

Today, I met the Bai family by chance, and their words were refreshing. I thought that Bai Zhizhou had made a great leap and changed his family in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that even Bai Yiren could recite poems. It was worthy of being a scholar family with real talents and knowledge.

Meeting again at the beginning of the year was really the fate of the two families.

Bai Yunxi followed Mrs. Xu to her dormitory, which was a very spacious courtyard.

"My family comes to Xiangshan Temple several times a year. The abbot was kind and prepared several spacious dormitories for us. ”

The dormitories provided for pilgrims in the temple were all expanded with funds from his master. In addition, he donated some incense money to the temple every year. The abbot was grateful and treated them with great courtesy.

Listening to Mrs. Xu's words, Bai Yunxi curled the corners of his lips. So that's how it is. Such a big sponsor should be a distinguished guest no matter where he is.

When Xu Lang and Xiao Wu came in, Mrs. Xu had already asked people to tidy up the room and set up two tables.

As the little monk came in and out, vegetarian food was served one after another.

Looking at the vegetarian food on the table, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Golden eggs, osmanthus lotus roots, Luohan vegetarian food, dried bamboo shoots and black fungus, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed tofu meatballs, the staple food is thin-skinned vegetarian buns with plenty of fillings, in addition to which there is also health-preserving white fungus soup.

"Try it, Yi Ren, do you like it? ”

Men and women sat at separate tables, and Madam Xu invited Bai Yunxi to try.

Bai Yunxi picked up a tofu meatball and tasted it. It was cooked in mushroom soup and was very tasty.

“It’s really good. The vegetarian meal that everyone praised is indeed unique.”

Come to think of it, Xiangshan Temple is now very popular, with more and more pilgrims. Most of them rely on donations from merchants and gentry to achieve this scale, so the vegetarian food is naturally designed for them.

After the name is spread, many people come to taste it. Then, treating pilgrims with vegetarian food to generate revenue for the temple is also thoughtful.

Madam Xu looked at Bai Yunxi’s satisfied expression and explained softly.

“The vegetarian dishes of Xiangshan Temple are also well-known in our city, especially popular among the ladies in the back house. If there is a festival for praying for blessings or abstaining from food, they will come to the temple to order a table. "

Bai Yunxi deeply agreed with this. The women in the backyard would often eat and chant Buddha to pray for peace. The vegetarian food in the temple best represents their sincerity.

In addition to vegetarian food, there is also the temple's Qingxin Tea, which is lotus heart tea. After being extremely bitter, it will have a hint of sweetness, which can help people clear away heat and fire and clear their minds.

After a meal, the two families became familiar with each other, especially the young people, who had already gathered together to talk in a low voice.

Especially Xiao Si, after knowing that the Xu family is a big business family, he humbly asked people many questions.

The two young men of the Xu family were a little uncomfortable with Xiao Si's enthusiasm at first, After a while, they became friends.

I don't know whether they were infected by Xiao Si or wanted to find out Xiao Si's real purpose, but the three of them had a very pleasant chat.

No matter what questions Xiao Si asked, Xu Jia Da Lang patiently explained to him.

Xiao Si did not hide anything and directly told the two about his duck farming. He only regretted that they met too late.

When Xu Jia Da Lang heard Xiao Si mention the duck farm, he also showed great interest and the topic was opened at once.

Looking at them sitting down and talking, Bai Yunxi shook her head and laughed.

"My Xiao Si is so devoted to business that he can't be pulled back. He is sticking to your son to learn from him."

Mrs. Xu listened and chuckled.

"We are all of the same age, so we talk casually. I think your Silangjun is a smart and opinionated person. Since he likes the business world, he will definitely achieve great success in this field."

She was not complimenting him. Having a brother who is an official is a natural barrier, and the road to business will definitely be smooth.

Bai Yunxi did not refute what Mrs. Xu said. Xiaowu is the umbrella of the family, but the family is also the backing of Xiaowu. The family relies on each other to go a long way.

It is not about who relies on whom, but mutual support.

"Every child has his own interests. It is said that there are 360 ​​professions and there are top talents in every profession. I will be satisfied if they can find their own hobbies and do one thing well."

"It is a blessing for children to have such an open-minded mother like you. Look at your Wulangjun, who is gifted and can achieve such results at a young age. Others can only envy him. Silangjun likes business and will definitely become a leader among them."

As a family of officials, if there is one official, they want to have two or three. Only in this way can the family grow stronger. Elders are rarely willing to listen to their children's wishes and do things according to their interests. Most of them urge them to study hard and pass the imperial examinations.

Bai Yiren really loves her children.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her two sons. The eldest son inherited the family business, which was a responsibility that fell on his shoulders since birth. He learned to count the beads on the abacus from the time he started talking.
