Chapter Twenty-Eight: Scattered Blessings
In the bustling and lively East Market, it is not a place for merchants to make a living, walking through the streets and alleys, shouting loudly to make a living.
Wu Shanglang put down his burden, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and rested for a while.
On the shelves, rouge gouache dolls play with candied fruit, needlework, and silver thread.
The cry of a child came from inside the house.
When the business came, Wu Shanglang suddenly cheered up and shook the rattle.
"Merchant, come here."
Two women beckoned to a child.
Rummaging through the shelves, picking up all kinds of objects to tease the children, three or four-year-old children also scratched the shelves curiously.
"Is it good to eat preserves?" The woman said, turning out a few packets, "Hey, what is this?" Never seen before. ”
"There's still a word on it, what's written?" Another woman leaned over and asked.
Wu Lang looked at it suddenly.
This is the tribute I got from the mystical view yesterday.
What's it called?
Mid-Autumn Festival, reunion...
"Mooncakes." He said, "This is a tribute to the mystical view, where the fairy girl said the Mid-Autumn Festival, eating this means reunion, you see, round, like the moon." ”
Before the woman could take it in her hand, she was grabbed by the child next to her and tore open the oiled paper.
"There are flowers, there are flowers." The child looked at the mooncake in his hand and shouted, biting it as he opened his mouth.
"Oh, can you eat it?" The woman exclaimed, but it was still too late, and she couldn't return the bite to anyone, so she had to reluctantly pay for it, "How much is this?" ”
"Big lady, as long as this is the case. I don't need money, it's a joy in the view. How to collect money, and share blessings and blessings. Wu Shanglang smiled.
And the two women who said this rejoiced. At that moment, I picked a few more lines and paid for it before I gave up.
These women like to take a little cheap, Wu Lang with a little pride provoked the courage to shake the rattle and shouted and walked away, facing a chubby old man swaying over, the child in the distance shouted when he saw it.
"Grandpa."
The fat man quickened his pace and picked up the boy who ran over, and the boy rubbed him with a mooncake in his hand.
"What is this?" The old man laughed.
"It's the moon." The boy shouted, remembering what he had just heard.
The old man sighed in surprise, and the little boy had already raised the moon cake to his mouth.
"It's delicious, it's delicious." He shouted.
The old man opened his mouth and took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Huh?" He said. After swallowing a few bites, he was a little unsatisfied, and leaned over again and took a bite, "Not bad, not bad, not bad." ”
The cries of children rang out in the alley.
"Grandpa, you've eaten my moon..."
"Good man, good man, grandpa will buy it for you again... Merchant. Merchant....Merchant walks slowly...."
When Cheng Shilang walked into the courtyard, several girls were gathering together and chattering lively.
Cheng Shilang stomped his feet a little unhappy, and the girls hurriedly dispersed.
"Childe came back early today." Chunlan hurriedly greeted him and said, while taking Cheng Shiro's cloak.
"There's a guest in a moment." Cheng Shilang said.
Chunlan responded yes.
"Tea or wine?" She asked.
"Tea." Cheng Shilang said. As she walked into the room, Chunlan followed.
"Childe," she hesitated for a moment. Still couldn't help but say, "Xuanmiaoguan is there." It's a different girl again. ”
Cheng Shilang hummed, and didn't react to what it was for a while.
"Jiao Niang there. The girl who replaced Banqin is also gone. Chunlan hurriedly said, and the chatterbox couldn't be stopped when she opened it, "It turns out that the master called her here yesterday for this, and sent it to Mrs. Zhang's house, saying that it was a dim sum made to close her mouth..."
Cheng Shilang was stunned for a moment, and he was replaced again? Someone else wants to leave again?
This stupid girl, can't she keep it, or is it too sought-after?
"Childe, the son of the Zhang family is here."
A voice outside the door interrupted their conversation.
"Sister, these snacks aren't enough."
A girl in the room said, looking at a plate of snacks.
"There are a few more here." The other girl said, picking up two or three candied fruits from the table beside her.
"Where did you come from?" The girl took it, "Hey, there's still a word on it." ”
"Okay?" Chunlan came in and urged, "The son of the Zhang family is here." ”
The two girls didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly put away the snacks and followed Chunlai to the study.
The gossip and laughter between the sons don't need them to be around, and even the personal girl Chunlan can only stand outside the door and wait for the summons.
In the room, they talked about poetry and painting, laughed and talked about the wind, and they didn't say goodbye until dusk.
"Oh yes, Shiro, your dim sum is good, why don't I take some back to my family's Thirteen Niang, she loves to eat this the most." The son of the Zhang family walked to the door of the house and thought of something again.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Cheng Shilang smiled, "Which one do you like?" ”
"It's the peach strip in that paper bag." Zhang Jiagongzi said, stretching out his finger and pointing.
Cheng Shilang told the girl to get it.
After waiting for a while, the girls came in a panic.
"Childe, this is not from home." One replied.
The Zhang family was a little surprised, and Cheng Shilang was a little embarrassed.
"Where did you buy that, just go buy some more." He said.
"No, no, tell me where I bought it, and I'll just go myself." The son of the Zhang family said with a smile.
The girls glanced at each other and looked at Chunlan.
"It was brought back by Sister Chunlan." They said.
Chunlan was stunned.
"Oh, is that the one," she remembered, "the dim sum of the Mystic Temple?" ”
"Mystic view?" Zhang Jiagongzi asked repeatedly.
At the same time, many families in the city are also pronouncing this name.
"Mystic view." They read, looking at the pattern text on the paper bag in their hands, and then at the steward in front of them, "This is the Mid-Autumn Festival return gift specially sent by Mrs. Zhang?" ”
For the Taoist aunt of the Xuan Miao Temple, the days are the same as before, but they are also different.
Because there was a girl walking in the Taiping Palace on the mountain.
"Master will live in the Taiping Palace from now on. The little junior sister and the second senior sister followed over there to help, Linghui. You look at the incense. One Dao Gu and another Dao Gu said, "I'm going to make Jiao." ”
"Senior sister. It's okay, don't be nervous, the two of us are enough, and no one will come anyway..."Daogu Linghui said.
Before the words fell, there was the sound of footsteps outside the mountain gate.
"Fairy Gu, Fairy Gu."
Someone shouted to come in.
As soon as he said that someone came, the two Taoist aunts were busy with plastic surgery to greet each other.
"Do you make mooncakes here?" The person who came was an old man, and he asked.
Before he finished speaking, a few more people came in from outside the door.
"Fairy Gu. Mid-Autumn Festival tribute, is there anything else? ”
"Fairy Gu, I don't know if I can pray for blessings?"
"Fairy Gu, do you serve snacks here?"
Random and gossipy inquiries poured in, and the two Dao aunts were stunned, and they didn't know who to listen to and whose answers.
This is... What's wrong?
How did so many people come?
There are not enough two people in the Taoist temple!
The liveliness of the Taoist temple under the mountain, the Taiping Palace on the mountain is still the same.
From the kitchen came the smell of two girls who didn't know what to do and the sound of chirping and laughing.
A little boy came from the front hall and first looked into the room, but there was no one in front of the screen.
"Lady. Wife. The boy was a little frightened and shouted hurriedly.
There was no one in the house to answer, so the boy hurried to the kitchen and asked the two girls.
"I was sitting under the porch just now." The two girls said. Looking out, "Oops, this idiot is really fast-legged." Where did he run again, I don't know what to say. ”
"Look at it." The boy said urgently.
"Who's watching? What do you want you to do when you look at the door? Eat and drink our family for nothing? The two girls showed no weakness. Forked waist shouted.
The boy took two steps back.
"Go find it." The two girls raised their eyebrows and stretched out their fingers.
The little boy turned around and ran away in fright, stumbling on the threshold before going out, causing the two girls behind him to laugh.
The little boy was ashamed and afraid that tears were about to fall, and he looked around in panic.
The master and the senior sister accompanied the lady at night, and at this time they were busy making up for their homework, so she went to check the incense in the hall, and when she came back, she couldn't see the lady, what if this fool fell down the mountain?
"Lady." She shouted with a cry.
"Huh?"
Someone at the side door replied.
Xiao Tong hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his tears, only to see a girl walk in, as always, plain satin coat, cinnabar skirt, clogs and white socks, long hair hanging down the waist, it was Cheng Jianniang.
"Lady," the boy shouted after walking a few steps.
Cheng Jianniang looked at her and pulled the branch in her hand into a flower.
"How?" She asked.
"You, where have you been?" The boy asked.
"Take a walk." Cheng Jianniang said, and walked straight to the small pavilion.
When Sister Banqin was here, their master and servant must go to the mountains every day to hang out, and the little boy breathed a sigh of relief, but now, there is only one person hanging around.
"Lady, next time you want to go out, call me." Xiao Tong was faintly sad, and hurriedly followed and said loudly, slowing down his speech, "Call me, look, I met a wolf and ate you." ”
Cheng Jianniang had already sat down on the abutment of the pavilion, and looked at her when she heard the words, the corners of her mouth curved.
"Okay." She said, holding the branch in her hand and drawing on the ground.
"Lady, do you want water?"
“… It's cold on the stone, let's go back, shall we? ”
"Lady, are you hungry?"
The child asked from time to time, but Cheng Jianniang did not answer, but just concentrated on holding the branch horizontally and vertically.
"Lady, what are you drawing?" The child asked curiously, walked a few steps, and looked down.
The ground was marked and scratched, and it seemed to be a word, but soon the branches of the tree were crossed, and the original handwriting was spent.
Let's scribble.
Xiao Tong raised his head and saw Cheng Jianniang changing the branch from her right hand to her left hand and continuing to write on the ground.
Scribbling, the boy is sure, how can anyone write with his left hand.
"Lady, lady."
Sun Guanzhu's voice came from the front hall, Cheng Jianniang and Xiao Tong looked for the sound, and saw Sun Guanzhu running over in a hurry and going to the other side of the house.
"Master, here." The boy hurriedly called.
When Sun Guanzhu saw them, he hurriedly walked over, staggering and flustered, causing the two girls standing at the kitchen door to laugh again.
"It's become their Buddha. I panicked like this when I didn't see it for a moment. One laughed.
"That's not it, without this stupid girl. Their mystical view is about to fall. The other said, "Look." Maybe where the next pillar of incense will burn, and you have to ask this stupid girl. ”
The two girls guessed right.
"Lady, what do you say is going on? Why did you come so much all at once......." Sun Guan asked.
Cheng Jianniang raised her eyes to look at her, and the branches in her hands did not stop.
"Scattered blessings." She said, "Have you forgotten? ”
Sun Guan was stunned when he was asked, and looked at the girl's Mu Ran's expression, and also calmed down.
"You mean, the day before yesterday, the mountain sent tribute to passers-by?" She asked. A look of surprise.
Just because of that? No way.
"That's one, and there's another, I want to thank Banqin." Cheng Jianniang said.
Half celery?
Sun Guan was stunned again, thinking that on that day, Banqin also packed a basket of tribute dried fruits, saying that he was going to give them to the old man in the city, and then he never came back.
That old man has an extraordinary identity, and when he received these gifts, it was for Banqin's sake. So they made a name for themselves?
"Those smart people are like this, they give them food for nothing, they never eat it, they have to do something to get peace of mind." Cheng Jianniang said. Pull a flower from the branch in your hand.
It's so nice to be nimble with your hands and feet.
It won't be long before she can talk as she pleases.
Just after she changed hands again and wrote a few words. Sun Guan finally figured it out, and looked at the girl who was still sitting indifferently in front of him. It is difficult to calm down when the heart is turned upside down.
I want to thank Lu Xie Banqin, and I want Xie Lu to thank the old man. In the end, it is the person in front of him who has to be thanked.
She said that she wanted a small name or a big name, instead of asking if she wanted to be famous, it seemed that being famous couldn't be easier for her.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the name really came.
"Thank you, lady." She gave a solemn salute.
Cheng Jianniang didn't speak, stood up, and put down the branch in her hand.
"Lady, then, these tributes have been used up, do you want to make some immediately?" Sun Guan thought of something, and asked hurriedly.
"Fairy Gu, you forgot again." Cheng Jianniang looked at her and said, "You are a Taoist temple, not a restaurant." ”
Sun Guan was full of excitement and calmed down.
"Scarcity is expensive." Cheng Jianniang said, passed by her, and walked towards the house, "You value the essence." ”
Sun Guan pondered silently for a moment, and laughed a little.
"I've been practicing for so many years." She shook her head and said,
"Not really." Cheng Jianniang turned around and said, "Fairy Gu, I'm just in it." ”
Lord Sun Guan saluted her again with a little shame.
When Cheng Jianniang walked into the house, she turned around and walked down the mountain, compared with when she came, her steps were calm and her expression was indifferent.
Cheng Jianniang and Sun Guanzhu went separately, leaving the little boy alone by the small pavilion.
What did Master Fang Cai say to this stupid girl? Why do the two seem to have a good conversation? Why didn't she understand a word?
"Could it be that I'm a fool?" She muttered.
There was a chaotic crowd waiting in the Taoist temple under the mountain, accompanied by a Dharma call to look at the fairy girl who stepped into the door, her expression was solemn, and her steps were pleasant, at this time the autumn sun was getting higher, and the sunlight was draped on Sun Guanzhu's body, with a bit of dazzling, and it also lined this dilapidated Taoist temple with a little more aura.
This mystical view is really a little unusual, and everyone present flashed this thought in their hearts at this moment.
The old lady Zhang on the donkey cart withdrew her gaze from the lively Xuanmiaoguan and looked at the girl standing next to the car.
The girl looked sad and tried her best to restrain herself, so that her body was trembling.
"Banqin, are you unwilling to follow us to the capital?" He asked.
The girl was frightened and came back to her senses.
"No, no, master, the slave is willing." She said in a trembling voice.
Old lady Zhang laughed.
"If I believe this, am I not a fool?" He smiled and said, "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, you can go." ”
After that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to it, which was the direction of the Taiping Palace on the mountain.
