Qin Fengming said jokingly: “I picked it up on the road. If you want to call it, call it sister-in-law.”
Bai Chongyou circled Ling Xuezhu and said with a smile: “Good figure. Good-looking, not so good-looking. Brother Fengming, you are not superficial! Next time, I will pick one for me.”
Qin Fengming and Bai Chongyou joked for a while, looked at the more and more people in the square, and asked, “Is it today? Why are there so many people?”
“Eid al-Fitr!” Bai Chongyou said sternly, “I thought you came here specially for Eid al-Fitr!”
“It’s better to come early than to come by coincidence,” Qin Fengming said to Ling Xuezhu very happily. “Today we two are in good time.”
“What is Eid al-Fitr?” Ling Xuezhu asked suspiciously.
Qin Fengming replied: “It’s a big Muslim holiday. It’s like our New Year.”
Ling Xuezhu tenderly rebuked, “You have been learning Liuhe Quan for so many years, why didn’t you know that today is Eid al-Fitr?”
“Eid al-Fitr is not like celebrating New Year’s Day. It is on the first of January each year.” Qin Fengming explained, “It’s like we celebrate the New Year, every year is not a day.”
“It’s the first time my sister-in-law is here. I will take you to the mosque.” Bai Chongyou said eagerly. “We’ll be going to worship in a while. It’s just time to go in.”
Bai Chongyou led Qin Fengming and the others into the mosque from the side door. Qin Fengming was at the end and tried his best to let Bai Chongyou introduce to Ling Xuezhu the architecture and legends of the big temple. They walked through the north-south Yixue hall, the north-south accompany hall, the Wangyue Tower, the Huadian Pavilion, the stepping stone, the crowning stone, the quiet stepping stone, and the front courtyard of the hall.
Standing on the steps in front of the hall, looking back at Wangyue Tower, I saw gray walls and red pillars, dougong carvings, high cornices, and spirit beasts lined up, all lifelike. Passing through the Wangyue Tower and the main entrance, looking at the big round gate beside the canal, you can see the sails passing by in the river. Turning around, when I looked up, I saw the three characters “Mosque” on the emperor Kangxi’s imperial plaque hanging in front of the main hall.
Entering the worship hall, I saw huge pillars and square beams, carved with flowers and edges, which was spectacular. The main hall is divided into the front hall, the nave and the apse, which is extremely wide. Above the apse, there is the unique nine-layered Zhangcuanjian mosque in the world. Six large red pillars erected a 30-meter-high hexagonal pavilion. The square timbers are stacked and interlocked layer by layer, and the eaves are six, which is excellent.
“This big temple was built in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been almost 500 years.” Bai Chongyou said, standing under the moss well, “The whole temple is full of towers, halls and pavilions, with five ridges, carved columns and painted buildings. , Magnificent. This week’s main hall, there are ninety-nine pillars, dividing the main hall into ninety-nine and eighty-one rooms. The nine-layered zhangzai well, hexagonal high pavilion, and hanging style pillars basically interpret the teachings and rules of Islam. According to… …”
Bai Chongyou was saying that on Xingtou, the imam led his fellow Muslims into the hall. His words stopped abruptly and hurriedly pulled Qin Fengming back to the front hall. He took off the white worship hat from his head and handed it to Qin Fengming, saying, “There is a difference between men and women on weekdays. Take your sister-in-law to the curtain.”
Qin Fengming brought Ling Xuezhu to the curtain on the south side of the front hall and watched the people in the hall gather more and more. Bai Chongyou went out for a while, and when he came back he was holding a blue worship hat in his hand. He gave Ling Xuezhu the hat, and then pointed to the curtain. Ling Xuezhu understood, and went to the south of the curtain alone.
The hall became solemn. In the hall of thousands of people, there was no sound, not even a cough. After a moment of silence, the Imam began to recite in Awen. Soon, he began to recite the “Quran”.
“Allah says that fast has become your custom-made, just as it has been custom-made for the predecessors. Fasting is to be awed, to change your mind and wash away the mistakes and sins you have made. Here, I sincerely appeal to you. The first Muslim brothers and sisters must honor their parents, love their families, cherish their lives, and prepare some money for future generations.”
The Imam said in a magnetic voice. When Qin Fengming heard it, the voice sounded like a voice from the sky, shaking the soul. His thoughts all revolved around the words. For the first time in his life, he saw such a big scene. Thousands of people listened and bowed together. Silent, but it is clear that there are ten thousand horses galloping power; silent, but there is a magnificent scroll slowly unfolding.
“Reminiscing about the rough road of life, in the blink of an eye, the memories of childhood and the dreams of youth have become the moon in the water. The innocence of the day before and the romance of yesterday have disappeared. Where do people come from, where will they go, and are you ready? Okay?
“We must unite, don’t follow selfish desires, and don’t separate races. Hui and Han, we have the same origin, and we are all descendants of Adam.
“The Prophet Muhammad said:’Arabs are not superior to non-Arabs, nor are non-Arabs superior to Arabs; whites are not superior to blacks, and blacks are not superior to whites.’ Allah said,’The best among you is the most awe-inspiring. The people of Allah. “Everyone we are present should start from the individual, from now on, for our descendants, for our future generations, for us to escape from Hell, we have to fight, we have to give, we have to be considerate of the masses, For the sake of teaching, for the sake of our own detachment! We can’t see and hear, we don’t hear! Our responsibility is great!
“Don’t wait any longer, don’t delay, don’t push again, don’t say I don’t have time, don’t say’wait for me…’ because no one knows how long one can live! No one knows whether the sun will be tomorrow I can still see it! No one knows whether the shoes I took off tonight can be put on tomorrow morning…”
After the service, for a long time, Imam’s words still echoed in Qin Fengming’s brain. He felt that those words were as rich in philosophy and truth as his father taught him every day, and were the crystallization and inheritance of the wisdom of his ancestors.
“It’s really good!” Ling Xuezhu said quietly when she saw Qin Fengming waiting outside the hall.
Bai Chongyou led several young men to Qin Fengming. Qin Fengming glanced intently and found that they were all his brothers. They greeted for a long time, and then came to the backyard together. Here is another scene, full of voices, very lively, like a wedding event for a big family. After Qin Fengming and Ling Xuezhu wrote a post, Bai Chongyou led them to a small room.
“It’s still a little quiet here.” Bai Chongyou explained.
There were only two tables of Eight Immortals in the room. There were already a few people sitting at the table inside, so Qin Fengming and his senior brothers were sitting around the door. Qin Fengming sat closer, and Ling Xuezhu sat next to him. In the yard, people coming and going with trays in their hands quickly flashed past his eyes. Through the flow of people, he saw two big pots under the shed to the south. It seems that the diameter of the cauldron is two meters away. A man was holding a long spoon and pouring beef from a pot into a large basin. On the other pot was an iron cavity more than a foot high, and under the pot was a beating flame, and the pot was rising with white heat. Qin Fengming thought of the spoon stove in the factory.
Bai Chongyou called out a few more people from the outside, told them to sit on the table inside, and then stood at the door to stop the two people carrying the tray. On the tray is a bowl of beef, the size of a peach. People passed the bowl to the table inside before serving Qin Fengming and the others beef. A bowl of beef was served for each person, and the golden oily aroma came up before it was ready. Qin Fengming picked up a piece of oily scent and opened it. It was spotted like lamb’s belly, and the fragrance was even more attractive. He tore up half of the opened oily fragrance and handed it to Ling Xuezhu, watching her eat it tastefully.
Bai Chongyou glanced at Ling Xuezhu with his left light, and said solemnly to Qin Fengming: “I’ve been holding back for a long time! You brought me a sister-in-law today, what should I do with my sister? You and her are not private. Have you booked it for life?”
“That is, you have to have a statement about the matter between you and Magnolia.” A younger brother sitting opposite Qin Fengming said in agreement.
Qin Fengming glanced at Ling Xuezhu and saw that she stopped chewing, staring at him suspiciously.
“Today is Eid al-Fitr, so you can’t lie! You have committed a big taboo.” Qin Fengming said offensively.
At this time, a person sitting at the table inside said loudly: “Friend brother, did you recognize a younger sister at that time? It won’t be able to be in your hands!”
Senior brother Ma Fuqian tapped Bai Chongyou on the head with his chopsticks and teased: “It seems that you have been suffocating for a long time and haven’t suffocated a good fart!”
The people burst into laughter immediately.
