Chapter 486 Tang'er's kindness to her family is priceless
It was Yun Xuanmo who came back. He chuckled and said, "On your first birthday, your master gave you a fist-sized night-shining pearl as a toy."
"When you were two years old, your master gave you two night-shining pearls this big. You cried because they were not as big as your fist. Later, your master gave you two more, and you were happy."
"When you were three years old, your master brought you to the capital. Third Senior Brother learned that you liked night-shining pearls, so he gave you six glutinous rice balls sized..."
With every word Yun Xuanmo said, Yun Tang's face turned a little redder. Finally, she lowered her head embarrassedly, shook his hand again and again, and laughed.
"Okay, let your nephew accept it. It seems that this child likes shiny things just like you." Taoist Yun laughed.
Yun Tang quickly let go of Yun Xuanmo's arm, bent down and asked Xiao Ming'er to step forward and stretch out his little hands to take the big night pearl given by Taoist Yun.
He also taught Xiao Ming'er to say "Thank you, elder, for the gift."
The child won't turn two until June, and he started speaking fluently only after the New Year, but only two words at a time.
It is still difficult to say a sentence at once, so I can only say it in several times.
Yuntang took out a black brocade bag embroidered with silver cloud patterns, put the beads in it for Xiao Ming'er, and then tied the bag around his waist.
In this way, as long as he pulls the rope, he can see the night pearl in the bag.
Xiao Ming'er leaned in her arms and fiddled with the bag from time to time.
Although it was not yet nightfall and the garden was still bright, the night pearls in the black bag could still clearly emit a soft light.
Xiao Ming'er was very happy to see this and showed Yuntang a bright smile from time to time.
Marquis Yong'an chatted with Taoist Yun for a while, then tactfully stood up and said goodbye.
Although this was his daughter's residence, he knew clearly that the people closest to his daughter here were her master. If they were here, it would make it difficult for her master's people to speak.
Today he was able to meet the child's savior and master, as well as several of the child's senior brothers, and the atmosphere did not become awkward. He was already very satisfied.
I hope we can have more opportunities to visit each other in the future and become closer.
Maybe there is still a chance to find out what Master Yun means. How is Tang'er's marriage arranged?
Seeing that his father was about to go back, Yuntang did not try to keep him, but took Xiao Ming'er's hand and sent them away.
Yun Xuanmo had just returned from traveling to several places today, so he did not avoid her at this time, but followed her to see the people from the Marquis' Mansion off.
"Tang'er, the gift your master gave to Ming'er was too expensive. I'm afraid the thank-you gifts I prepared are not enough. Let's go..." After leaving the second door, Yong'an Hou said in a low voice.
"Father, don't mind this." Yun Tang said with a smile.
"Taoism is all about following fate. My father sincerely prepared a thank-you gift. No matter how much it is, it is a token of his heart. What Master accepted is not a gift, but a token of his heart. This is fate, following one's heart."
"If I add anything else, it would seem a bit deliberate." Yun Tang added.
She already knew the family background and responsibilities of the Marquis's Mansion, so she naturally would not let such a small matter become a burden to her father.
"Father, when Ming'er grows up, let him become a Taoist child at Qingfeng Temple. When he grows up, he can become a capable person like Tang'er."
Seeing that Marquis Yong'an was hesitant and wanted to say something, Jiang Yanting whispered.
In fact, he had this idea a long time ago, but the child is still too young. Even if he asks the child to become a disciple, it will become a burden no matter who the teacher is.
Therefore, he planned to wait another year or two before talking about this matter. Seeing that his father was embarrassed by the expensive gift given by Master Tang'er, he spoke up.
He knew very well that ever since Tang'er returned to the Marquis' Mansion to give a gift to his family, the return would never be equal.
Even if the Marquis' Mansion had the financial resources to give a gift of similar or even more expensive in return, the value of Tang'er's first contribution was immeasurable.
Tang'er's kindness to her family is priceless.
He doesn't compare the value of each, but only considers whether he has the intention to give back.
When he saw Master Tang'er say that the child had a destiny with Taoism today, his idea of sending Ming'er to learn Taoism became even clearer.
Ming'er can learn Taoism and martial arts at the same time, so he will have more opportunities to serve the court in the future. He is also more capable than their fathers and grandfathers, so he is relieved.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanting was already planning for his son. Yong'an Hou was stunned for a moment, and Yuntang was also a little surprised.
"Brother, are you willing to let the child leave home at such a young age?" Even if the brother is willing, the sister-in-law will not.
"Don't be afraid of your sister laughing at you. I have also been paying attention to the children of your senior brothers. They don't look very old. They have the convenience of their parents and can learn Taoism from a young age."
"But I can't just ask my sister to teach the kids. She has her own responsibilities and she's always busy."
"So my eldest brother wants to send the child to the East Territory when he is older and can take care of himself. He will study for ten years and then be a teenager when he returns."
"Come back and learn martial arts for a few more years. In the future, whether you want to be a Taoist priest or a general, you will have some skills, just like your nephews..."
When Jiang Yanting talked about this plan, his eyes revealed an anticipatory gleam and a confident smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
His Ming'er was born into a military family. If other children could endure hardships, his Ming'er would not be weak either.
Yuntang looked at his elder brother's determined expression and knew that this idea was not something that came to him on a whim today. After thinking about it, he did not refuse.
"There's no need to send him to the East Territory. Let's wait and see how things go next year. This year, the sect has a lot to do."
Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Yanting smiled and nodded: "Okay."
He had heard that his sister could read Taoist scriptures at the age of three. Now he is also reading Taoist scriptures when he has time. He will take Ming'er to read them first when the time comes.
There is no rush to learn to read, it is enough to just recite along.
The brother and sister were talking about Ming'er's future. Marquis Yong'an stood aside with mixed feelings, but did not say anything to stop them.
The family already has a Taoist priest, Yuntang, who is also a heavenly master. What if there is another one in the future?
They have never considered the fact that their brothers are also learning Taoism as Yuntang's level of learning Taoism.
Instead, they treated it as a matter of learning martial arts from a famous teacher, and did not think of them as Taoists as well.
The four sisters stood beside Zhou Siyue, all looking over here. They wanted to come over to say goodbye, but were afraid of disturbing their father, brother and eldest sister who were talking.
Jiang Yanxuan arranged his own carriage and asked his second aunt and other female relatives to get off the carriage first before he came over.
The four sisters quickly followed and bowed to Yuntang. Jiang Yingrou smiled and said, "Big sister, we will come back the day after tomorrow morning."
Yun Tang smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."
The princess will get married tomorrow. All officials will see her off in the court hall. Officials of the third rank and above will be ordered to go to the palace to see her off. Afterwards, all officials will go to the princess's residence to drink wedding wine.
The four sisters, including their mother, were not qualified to enter the palace to marry.
Their father’s rank did not allow him to go to the imperial court, but Marquis Yong’an could.
