He Shi carried Li Jingjing out of the upper class, and the Li family followed back to the middle class.

Qu learned what had happened, first sighed, and then educated Li Yunxiao again, telling him not to play on the bow of the boat like a little guy and fall into the water.

He took the package and prepared to eat the dry food he brought.

The middle-aged woman of the ship's family brought a large bamboo basket covered with a white quilt and specially gave each of the Li family four steaming meat buns for free, thanking them for giving up the upper class.

A meat bun is the size of an adult's fist, and the pork and chives are filled, with thin skin and large filling, and the taste is delicious, and it sells three copper plates.

There were nine people in the Li family, and they got thirty-six meat buns, which was equivalent to one cent of silver.

Li Jingjing ate two buns and was full, and gave the surplus to Li Laoshi.

The big passenger ship temporarily docked at the dock of Lujia Town, and the young man did not take the little guy off the boat.

After noon, the little one was a little frightened, and his spirit was not good, and his body had returned to normal.

The people who sent off the relatives came over to thank Li Jingjing. The middle-aged man and the young man specially asked Li Laoshi for Li Jingjing's name and home address.

The winter afternoon sun shines on the spacious surface of the Xiangjiang River, and the large passenger ship temporarily stops at the wharf in the suburbs of Tanzhou Prefecture.

The bride has put on her makeup, covered her head, and is led by a middle-aged woman who walks off the boat to the sound of gongs and drums beating and jubilant and lively at the pier.

The young man took the little one to say goodbye to Li Jingjing.

Li Yunxiao pushed the little guy away domineeringly, glared at the big eyes and shouted: "Don't kiss my sister, my sister is mine!" ”

The little guy Peach Blossom had tears in his eyes, and he was carried away by the young man with his mouth puffed and angry.

At the beginning of the year, the big passenger ship finally arrived at its destination - the Orange State Wharf at the outer gate of Tanzhou Fucheng.

More than 20 years ago, Qu's husband Li Bing took a boat from Liuyang County to this place. At that time, it was still the old dynasty, and later the new and old dynasties alternated civil strife, and the Orange State wharf was burned down.

Today's Orange State Wharf is rebuilt after the new dynasty, the area is three times that of the old dynasty, divided into three areas: cargo, passenger and fishery, the passenger area can berth hundreds of large passenger ships at the same time, and the berthing volume of cargo and fishing area is four times that of the passenger area.

In the past year, there were many cargo ships in the cargo area, and men carrying goods could be seen everywhere on large and small ships.

The fishing area is also in the peak season, and eighty percent of the freshwater fish eaten by the people of Tanzhou come from here.

There was a medium-sized sea ship from the south, the sail of which was higher than that of the river boat, and the seawater was stored in the cabin to raise fresh sea fish, which was specially sold to the rich and noble families of Tanzhou Prefecture.

The Li family listened to the discussion of the boatmen, and roughly understood the three areas of the wharf, followed the flow of people to get off the big passenger boat, and was asked to the side by the boatmen.

In order to thank Li Jingjing for saving the passengers, the old man of the boat family refunded all the boat fares to the Li family, and also exempted the Li family's boat money in the future.

The Li family's journey from Liuyang County to Tanzhou is equivalent to taking a boat and having lunch in vain.

"This place is five miles away from Qingyunguan and three miles away from the city gate." The woman of the boat family enthusiastically beckoned the young man of the boat family and asked him to help the Li family call two donkey carts at a fair price.

He asked: "Mother, let's go to Qingyunguan to worship incense first, and then go into the city to stay at the inn, okay?" ”

Qu looked excited and said with a smile: "You and I want to go together." It's not too late today, let's go to Qingyunguan. Tomorrow will be in town for a whole day. ”

Two donkey carts drove from the wharf to Qingyunguan, and received forty copper plates from the Li family, and the two coachmen heard the Li family say that they would only stay in the temple for a while before entering the city, so they waited outside the gate.

Qingyun Temple has a thousand years of history, after several dynasties, built by the mountain, the terrain is high and the area is huge, the nine halls in the view stand majestically, the bamboo forest, the peach forest, the pear forest, the chrysanthemum garden, the Gui Garden, the plum garden, the lotus pond, the hibiscus pond eight beautiful scenery will separate the nine halls.

The scenery of Layue Plum Garden is the most beautiful, the branches of the hundred branches of the plum tree and the plum blossoms bloom, the fragrance of the flowers is quiet, pleasant, and many pilgrims linger in it.

The most incense in the nine halls is not the Sanqing Palace, the Jade Emperor Palace, and the Six Imperial Palaces, but the Sending Son Niangniang Palace.

It is rumored that the palace of Qingyunguan to send children is very effective, and pilgrims thousands of miles away have traveled long distances to ask for children.

The Li family went to the three main halls and the God of Wealth Hall to make incense, and they did not have the desire to ask for a child, so they were not ready to go to the temple of sending a son.

When Li Yunxiao was visiting the plum garden, he heard a child say the name of the Niangniang Palace, and he had to go.

Qu's loved the dragon and phoenix fetus the most, so he said: "It's still early, let's go." ”

He Shi looked in the direction of the Niangniang Palace, and said slowly: "Mother, I passed by there just now, looking at the crowd of people, why don't I and Changsheng take Xiao Yanzi over, and you just take the burden and wait here." ”

Qu mistakenly thought that the He family was going to ask for a son, and the Li family could add a new Ding again, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to come back when you go, and pay more respects to the son and mother." ”

Li Yunxiao happily sat on Li Laoshi's shoulder, stuck out his tongue at Li Jingjing, and said happily: "Daddy won't take you there." ”

Li Jingjing turned her head and said, "I'm not going." ”

Li Laoshi's family of three squeezed into the courtyard from the entrance, and the voices of pilgrims were in their ears, as if they had entered a market, which looked like a Taoist hall.

Li Yunxiao sneezed twice from the smoke formed by the incense fuel, and shouted persistently: "Dad, I want to see the mother who sent the child." ”

Li Laoshi saw that the hall was overcrowded and couldn't squeeze in, so he asked Li Yunxiao to look at the mother who sent the child from a distance of three zhang, and then squeezed out the same way.

He followed Li Yunxiao in a trance, and heard a woman behind him calling "Yi Niang!" in Chang'an dialect! ”

She was shocked, and immediately looked back, but saw groups of female pilgrims in colorful dresses, without a familiar face.

Li Yunxiao shouted: "Dad, my new shoes are gone!" ”

He Shi's eyes returned to Li Yunxiao, and saw that he only had socks and no shoes on his right foot, and he was afraid that he had squeezed it out of the crowd just now, so he frowned and said: "Changsheng, there are too many people to look for shoes, go into the city to buy a pair for Xiao Lingzi." ”

Li Yunxiao shouted: "My new shoes are comfortable to wear. I want my new shoes! ”

He shouted: "Who told you to come and see the mother who sent the child? Don't cry. Crying again, leaving you barefoot, not buying you new shoes. ”

She usually loves Li Yunxiao very much, but she is very strict in discipline, and she starts a fire to hit Li Yunxiao, but the Qu family can't stop her.

Li Yunxiao only closed his mouth, and only cried aggrievedly when he saw Qu's.

Qu coaxed: "Don't cry, I brought you shoes." ”

She carries a lot of things in her big baggage, and the dragon and phoenix twins each have a pair of shoes and two changes of clothes.

Before dusk, the Li family entered Tanzhou City and stayed in a mid-range inn. He asked for four first-class rooms with fires.

The Li family put down their burdens, washed their faces, and happily found a big restaurant next to the time-honored Qianzhuang for dinner.

A family of nine people asked for seven dishes, one soup, a big pot of rice and a jar of rice wine, spicy roasted Xiangjiang black fish, braised dog meat, crispy chicken, Bazhen duck, hibiscus fried egglet, crispy eggplant with meat foam, stir-fried red cabbage moss, and three fresh soups of lettuce, the color and flavor are complete, and the appearance and taste of the dishes are stronger than last night in the restaurant in Liuyang County, and the price is also more expensive, spending a total of 430 copper coins.

Qu's is not like the women in the village, who have eaten and enjoyed it, and they feel sorry for the money.

Before He came out of the inn, he deliberately inserted the pearl-inlaid butterfly winged gold hairpin given by Qu Kuaishou and his wife in his hair, and after the Li family had dinner, he called Li Laoshi to go to the money village next door to exchange the 1,000 taels of silver tickets for 50 taels of small silver tickets and 20 taels of silver ingots.

The two of them left Yinzhuang and walked around to make sure that they were not being followed, and then returned to the inn steadily.

When the Li family got up the next morning, they heard someone outside the window shouting in surprise, "It's snowing", and when they pushed the window, they saw that the sky was drifting with beautiful snowflakes, and a thin layer of snow had fallen on the roof, branches, and ground.
