Chapter 28: See you again
The prosperity of Taiyuan Mansion is not comparable to that of Yizhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The wide streets are lined with shops, centred around tall castle towers, and the houses on both sides are scattered. There are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, shops, etc., and there are many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces next to the streets. The streets stretch east and west to the quiet suburbs outside the city, but the streets are full of pedestrians; There are those who carry burdens and hurry, there are those who drive to deliver goods, there are those who drive ox carts to pull goods, and there are those who stop for sightseeing.
The rising sun is faintly sprinkled between the red bricks and green tiles, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high fluttering shop signboard flags, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the tranquil and comfortable smiling faces, adding countless vitality and vitality to the prosperous Taiyuan City in front of you.
"Taiyuan Mansion really lives up to its reputation, it's so lively!"
When I came yesterday, I was in a hurry, enjoying the surrounding scenery, and at this time, I deliberately went out of Fufu to go shopping, and the three of them walked all the way with great interest.
Linglong is even more envious from time to time!
After asking passers-by, the three of them walked towards Confucian Temple Lane.
If Taiyuan Street is bustling and lively, then today's Confucian Temple Lane is crowded with people, rubbing shoulders!
Along the way, small merchants and vendors are constantly selling, all kinds of things are available, eating, drinking and playing, many things that are not available in Yizhou are dazzling!
The Celestial Empire's requirements for women are not harsh, and there are also women from poor families who go out to set up stalls to make a living. It is normal for girls and ladies to go out without hats and hats.
Therefore, on the bluestone road leading to the temple fair, pretty girls and handsome boys can be seen everywhere!
Yu Nianniang didn't wear a hat today, and she walked in the crowd and was not conspicuous.
Following the flow of people, the three of them finally arrived in front of the temple fair. The three words "Chongzhen Temple" come into view, dignified and solemn, solemn and sacred!
Chongzhen Temple is the ruins of the previous dynasty, sit in the south and face north, there is the dragon wall of the glazed line inside, the star gate. Covering an area of nearly 40,000 square meters, it is very large and is one of the largest temples in the country.
Because of the prosperity of incense, after the first emperor ascended the throne, he asked the Chongzhen Temple to be renovated, and the interior was slightly modified, but the name Chongzhen Temple remained!
The first thing the three of them saw was the Daguan Emperor Temple.
Daguan Emperor Temple is located in the front street of the temple, sitting in the north and facing south, and the second courtyard is entered.
The apricot yellow courtyard wall, the blue-gray temple ridge, and the pale green towering ancient trees make people feel a sense of sacred reverence in their hearts.
Three large incense burners are placed in the front hall, the flow of burning incense and worshiping the Buddha is endless, the incense smoke is swirling, the pilgrims put their hands together, raise their chests, foreheads, and heads, and then fall flat on the ground, so that the stone slabs have sunk in some places.
Yu Nianniang also put on incense, bypassed the front hall, and arrived at the back hall.
The apse and the front hall are completely different scenes.
The courtyard is quiet and peaceful.
There are many Buddha images in the hall, the demeanor is different, a thousand postures, introduced by the little monk, a total of ninety-nine Buddhas, each Buddha represents a different meaning.
It is said that from stepping into the temple gate, starting from any side, depending on your own age, the last Buddha counted has a signature on it, and there are different interpretations of life according to different people.
Therefore, the people on the inner and outer three floors quietly circled around the Buddha statue back and forth, until they found the Buddha statue that belonged to them.
Yu Nianniang looked at Mother Sun and Linglong with an expectant look, and waved at the two with a smile.
The two were overjoyed. Immediately entered the hall and began to count the Buddhas!
Yu Nianniang can come here from another world, and she believes in ghosts and gods, but she doesn't believe in this kind of number of Buddhas. There are so many people who come to worship, and there are countless people who count the same Buddha, and there are people who have the same or different interpretations!
However, Mother Sun and Linglong Xin will let them go.
Yu Nianniang sat down on the bench outside the hall. Looking at the pilgrims coming and going, in this smoke-filled and solemn place, her mind calmed down, and her mind seemed to be more sober!
At this time, accompanied by the sound of talking, a group of people approached.
The old lady at the head was kind and kind, and she smiled and talked to another, older old lady beside her.
A large group of servants were clustered around the two of them, followed by two nursing homes.
Only in this posture, the pilgrims gave way one after another, and consciously stopped and let the two of them enter the hall first. The personal servant woman hurriedly helped the two of them in.
After a while, the pilgrims inside came out of the main hall one after another, and the servant woman standing at the door smiled at the pilgrims and took out the reward money from the maid's hand.
The pilgrims, who were still a little dissatisfied, dissipated the unhappiness in their hearts after receiving the reward.
It's just that Yu Nianniang, the servant woman who gave out the reward, didn't know any of them. It wasn't until a middle-aged woman walked out that Yu Nianniang's body moved.
“…… Mrs. Tai has not been to Taiyuan Mansion for many years, if it weren't for this time to go back to worship her ancestors, I'm afraid I don't know when I will be able to come to Taiyuan Mansion? Yu's mother smiled and said to the woman beside her.
"Yes! Therefore, Mrs. Yu must stay in Taiyuan for a few more days this time, so that she can accompany our old lady to talk. Mother He also said with a smile.
Although I can't hear what is said, I should be familiar with the verbal closeness of the two.
Yu Nianniang smiled slightly and slowly stood up.
Yu's mother and He's mother said a few polite words to each other, seeing that the two old ladies were about to come out, although He's mother had already arranged a place to rest, but there were many people at the temple fair, so she asked the nursing home to go out to prepare.
Yu's mother saw that everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and she didn't need to help herself at all, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a familiar figure standing up not far away.
She was overjoyed.
I didn't expect to meet Yu Nianniang here.
Yu's mother walked over quickly.
"Miss Yu, it turns out that you are also in Taiyuan Mansion?"
Yu Nianniang smiled and nodded: "Mother Yu, what a coincidence." ”
"We landed in Yanzhou one step earlier, I thought you went to other places, but I didn't expect you to come to Taiyuan Mansion too, it's really fate!" Yu's mother said with a smile, and then asked Yu Nianniang: "Why is Miss Yu alone?" ”
Yu Nianniang raised her hand and pointed behind her.
Yu's mother turned around.
In the crowd outside the main hall, Mama Sun and Linglong, who had been driven out, were standing in place talking to a woman.
"That's Miss Yu's family?" Yu's mother was puzzled, all the way from Suzhou, she found out that there were only three of her master and servant left in Yu Nianniang's house, and they went to relatives.
"Inferior." Yu Nianniang said.
"Oh." Yu's mother knew that Yu Nianniang's relatives must be in Taiyuan Mansion, but it was just right, she was about to ask Yu Nianniang's current residence.
Mother Sun and Linglong and the woman walked over.
"Cousin, why did you come out? My wife is about to go back, but fortunately I met you here, otherwise I can't find you when I go home...... The big temple fair is mixed with dragons and snakes, how can you walk around with a girl's house......" As soon as Fan's mother approached, she crackled and said a lot to Yu Nianniang, like an elder, and spoke in a tone like a subordinate. She didn't give Yu Nianniang and the others a chance to explain at all, what she said was for Yu Nianniang's good, and when she listened carefully, she accused Yu Nianniang of coming out without permission.
But in this New Year, the New Year, and the big temple fair, who doesn't come out to be lively?
Yu's mother frowned.
After talking a lot, Yu Nianniang didn't even speak, and Fan's mother felt like a fist stuffed into cotton, soft and boring.
She saw that her mother was wearing clothes that were just better than herself, and she didn't have a master around her, unlike some rich and noble people, so she guessed that she might be a fellow traveler with Yu Nianniang.
So, he only nodded hastily to his mother, and asked Mother Sun to help Yu Nianniang go to the front hall.
