Chapter 358 Tour Hanshan Temple
Early in the morning of the second day, Chunyu asked the two little maids to help Yinqiao, cleaned the two houses in the backyard, and went to the grocery store in the town to buy bedding and some daily necessities. Of course, there is no need to worry about food, she gave Yinqiao some more silver as living expenses.
Yinqiao didn't want to accept it yet, after all, Chunyu had already given her more than she had rented this house, but she had given two taels of silver for renting it for two months. Now she has given one or two more, and this time it is three taels, but she can't get it for a year's embroidery work. However, Yunxi explained to Yinqiao instead of Chunyu, saying that her girl was pregnant and needed to eat more delicately and better, so let her cook better ingredients on weekdays.
As for why Chunyu went out alone with the maid when she was pregnant, and called her a girl instead of a lady, although Yinqiao was curious, she wouldn't ask more.
After they settled here completely, Chunyu hurriedly wrote a letter to her family and asked the letter bureau here to send it back to her house in Moshan. The letter only stated that she was in a small town called Luoxia in Suzhou, and then there were some words of peace, and nothing else.
Then they also went out to the town every few days, and occasionally hired a carriage to go to Gusu City to have a look, and so on for a few days. Chunyu discovered a strange thing, that is, Nagusu is fine in the city, but it is rare to see young and middle-aged men in this town.
It was only later that I heard Yinqiao say that I learned that most of the people here are men who are not at home, go out to make money, leaving women and children at home, but they are not idle, and go back to the embroidery workshop or spinning room to work to earn some daily money.
It turns out that although Suzhou is said to be the 'land of fish and rice', this Luoxia Town is an exception. There are several foothills and lakes here, so there are not many fields here, although it is not as magnificent as Fuzhou's eight mountains, one water and one field, but it is slightly the same.
Most of the people here do some small business at the wharf, or go to Gusu City to find work to support their families, and there is also a close place to Jiaxing, which is known as the "Silk House", and many people go to work in the city under Jiaxing Mansion, so although the life of the people here is not very rich, it is also good.
Yinqiao always went to the embroidery workshop to get some needlework and came back to do it, first, no one in the family was worried about her son Xiao Mo, but he was afraid that if he worked in the city and met a familiar person, it would be bad to expose his whereabouts. Although it has been half a year since the incident, there is still no guarantee that those scoundrels will give up.
There is also the yard next door, but there is no one in such a beautiful and elegant yard, which is inevitably a pity. So Chunyu asked Yinqiao, only to find out that the person there was also a son who had just moved over for less than three months. A scholar dressed up but doesn't look like a scholar, always away from home all day long, as if going out to play, but occasionally come back but is also extremely hospitable, and will knock on the door to send some delicious food to her Xiao Mo. So although it is not common to meet, Yinqiao still has a very high evaluation of this neighbor.
When I got up early in the morning in the spring rain that day, I suddenly remembered the Hanshan Temple they saw when they first entered Suzhou, and I thought about going there to play.
So he told Yinqiao and asked her to go with them. At this time, it is the middle of March, and I heard that there are many cherry blossoms in the Hanshan Temple, and in addition, the peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and pear blossoms in the mountains behind the temple are also full of flowers, so at this time, the mountain flowers are full of good spring.
Yinqiao also wanted to go, but she thought that there were too many people in Hanshan Temple, and she didn't dare to show up lightly, and besides, she still had a lot of embroidery work this month, so forget it. It's just that seeing that his son Xiao Mo is looking forward to it, he just asked Chunyu to take her son with him.
Chunyu naturally agreed happily, so the three of them took Xiao Mo and went to Hanshan Temple together.
There is a poem in Xiangshan Monk: "The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom." "But the spring in the south of the Yangtze River came earlier, so the flowers are also half a month earlier to bloom, for a time Hanshan Temple went to enjoy the flowers and played, there are countless people.
In addition, those merchants and foot merchants are also very clever to seize the business opportunities and start a business. Starting from the shore of the lake at the foot of the mountain, and from the head of the mountain road to the entrance of the temple, there are all kinds of shouting sounds, which are as graceful and beautiful as singing, and they are very exciting to buy.
Not to mention all kinds of delicate and fun little toys, just those eating are already full of tricks and make people greedy.
Although Xiao Mo didn't say much, he was holding Chunyu's hand very quietly, but his little gluttonous expression had already made Chunyu and the three of them laugh.
Chunyu said to him: "Xiao Mo, tell your aunt what you want to eat, and I'll buy it for you." ”
"Really?" Xiao Mo asked excitedly, his face full of excitement.
"Can Auntie lie to you?" Chunyu said with a smile, and then said to Yun Xi Nunu, Yun Xi stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Mo's hand and brought him to the side of the stall.
I saw that there was a lot of food there, but there were all kinds of fancy dim sum, peach blossom crisp, pear fragrant preserved pear, cherry blossom cloud cake...... It's already delicate and cute, and people have the idea of having a taste. Not to mention the lamb skewers, fried crisp cakes, drunken trough fish, glutinous rice chicken skewers, jade shrimp skewers, rock sugar jade snow cold balls, fried candy seeds and other dazzling foods......
In fact, when she went out, Yinqiao wanted to give Chunyu silver, she knew that her son must be shopping outside, so she couldn't let Chunyu pay for it. But Chunyu smiled and said that Xiao Mo called her aunt, where could she not buy him some small things. Seeing Chunyu's tough attitude, Yinqiao had no choice but to give up.
Let's say that Yun Xi is taking Xiao Mo to buy what he likes to eat, Yun Xiao saw that people were afraid of squeezing Chunyu, so he hurriedly guarded Chunyu tightly. She looks a little dark and strong, but she also protects Chunyu, and Chunyu is very glad that she has such a maid by her side. Not to mention that the big danger will not happen, let's just say that before these various small dangers and situations happen, Yun Xi is clever and has the strength to laugh, and he can be regarded as able to help himself.
Spring Rain looked around when he was bored, and then saw that there was a rectangular stone bench under the cherry blossom tree, and no one had sat down there. And Yun Xi and they seemed to have to wait for a while, so they told Yun Xi for a while, and went over with Yun Xiao, sat down and waited for the two of them to finish shopping, and then left together.
She can't climb the mountain now, and this place is relatively advanced, and someone actually started the business of lifting people up the mountain with a jack. It is like a sedan chair, except that there are only four pillars and a top, which are covered and hung down with a veil, and the rest of the four sides are empty, which is very advanced. As if it was the lifting of the future generations, Chunyu didn't expect that the people here would already think of such a way of doing business. (To be continued.) )
