Chapter 44 A chance encounter at a temple fair
After arriving at the city gate, the ox cart was parked as usual, and I don't know why Uncle Guo also parked the carriage in the horse stall next to the cowshed.
After waiting for Li Wujun to give money to the people who watched the cowshed and the cart, Uncle Guo also parked his carriage and walked this way.
Guo Lin was mixing his mother on the side and walked very slowly. Chunyu praised him a little in his heart, although he was a Confucian student, he didn't think his mother was sick and weak, and he could take care of his mother carefully in this era. You must know that many scholars only read the books of the sages, and the result of saying pure filial piety is only to say one thing and do another.
"Uncle Guo, why do you have to stop the carriage here, there is still a lot of distance from the temple fair, and the aunt's body can withstand it?" Chunyu saw Uncle Guo's family coming over, and asked Uncle Guo with a smile.
"Miss Lao is worried, my father and I have to take Lin Zi to Mr.'s house to pay New Year's greetings first." It was Aunt Guo who answered, and her soft voice made Chunyu feel more good.
"Which gentleman?" Chunyu was a little puzzled, isn't Mr. Zhang's house in the town! A year ago, I had already asked Chunsheng to go and worship in advance, and I also brought a lot of gifts. She remembered that Chunsheng said that the students all went a year ago, and Guo Lin also went.
"I passed the children's exam the year before last, and I should take the children's exam this year. Mr. Meng Zhang valued Mr. Liu, a classmate who recommended me to him, and Mr. Liu opened this private school that was quite famous in the city, and he had passed the examination. Guo Lin said, his face full of admiration.
"Brother Su Qian is so powerful, it seems that he has to study hard in the future, and strive to get admitted to the child as soon as possible." Chunsheng on the side said very literally, with an envious expression. Su Qian is Guo Lin asked Mr. Zhang to give him words, he is already fourteen and naturally needs words, which is also a place where scholars can show off.
"Speak normally." Chunyu smiled and knocked Chunsheng's head and said. She knows that even if she has the qualifications for the children's exam, some scholars may not even pass the exam, let alone show their talents.
"People are normal!" Chunsheng pouted. Why does his eldest sister always like to pinch his face or knock him on the head, he is obviously already a little scholar.
"Then Aunt Guo and Xiaogang will go with us?" Chunyu asked Widow Guo and her son again.
"Naturally, Xiao Gang has long been shouting that he wants to come to the temple fair in this city to play, and he finally has a chance." Widow Guo said with a smile, and Xiao Gang on the side also nodded violently, which made everyone laugh.
Sure enough, everyone came to play today, and when they arrived in front of Chenghuang Temple Street, it was crowded with people, and it was very lively.
The hawkers who set up stalls to sell are also in an endless stream, and the voices are coming and going. Chunyu's group didn't take long and each took a lot of things in their hands.
"Ah, it's stilts." Listening to the cry of surprise from the willow branches, everyone looked at the stilt team walking on the street in front.
A long group of stilts will pass through the street to the percussion of waist drums, small gongs, and large and small hairpins. I saw that the stick that opened the way hit the head, and first eight stilts dressed in colorful clothes came out, some of them were men and women, some were holding banana fans, some were carrying lotus lanterns, some were playing flutes, and some were carrying wine jugs. It turned out that this was acted
It's the Eight Immortals, and Chunyu likes it a lot, so she and her fourth uncle and sister-in-law squeezed forward with a few small ones to see. Widow Guo also held Xiao Gang tightly, and she was afraid that there would be too many people and the child would be lost. By the time the spring rain finally squeezed forward to see, the eight immortals had already passed far away, but they were not disappointed, and there was humor
Interesting ugly women, rough and pleasing barefoot fairies, as well as beautiful and elegant flower fairies, lively and lovely wealth boys, etc. There was a single line of long snakes in front of them, and when they reached the center of the bustling and crowded street, they were replaced by a double formation. The step is changed to a figure-eight. There are also many projects that are performed,
Difficult and dangerous actions such as small whirlwinds, flower wings, harrier turning over, and big splits...... Only let the audience applaud.
Until the stilt team performance ended, everyone was still unsatisfied. However, the temple fairs in this city are not like those in the town, and there are many more fun. They continued to walk forward, and they also saw the pot thrower, and several people paid two cents to vote once. However, except for Li Wujun, he was able to vote
A mud doll was given to Chunsheng, and no one else voted. Chun Tao wanted to throw the fine bead flower on the pot stall, Chun Yan liked the mud doll holding Shou Peach, Chun Yu paid another 12 yuan in order to make his younger siblings happy, and everyone voted again. This time, except for Chunyan and Willow Branch, everyone voted
hit, although Chun Tao didn't hit what she wanted, she still happily took a mud doll that was very similar to the color of her clothes.
Widow Guo also paid for it and Xiao Gang each once, and Xiao Gang also got a mud doll, and he was very happy. When they continued to walk, they found that they were almost ready for a clay doll, and the clay dolls with different appearances were also gratifying.
When they came to a lake outside the temple in the spring rain, they found that there were many people on the arched bridge. Chunyu thought that there was an advanced boating project here, and for a while he was excited to forget that the big guy was busy running forward.
When I got there, I realized that there was no rowing at all, but many people were playing games.
Chunyu pricked up his ears and listened to the explanation of the person next to him, and only then did he understand what this game called playing money eyes meant.
Originally, it was a stone bridge without water under the three bridges, and the three bridges only opened a bridge hole in the middle, and the hole was divided in the east-west direction, and a table was set up on each side, and there were two Taoist priests on the table who meditated cross-legged on the east and west - the upper end of the bridge hole where they sit, and the east and west were each hung high, with a diameter of about two feet and a thickness of three inches
The rest of the paper tires are pasted with large coins of gold paper. The money is tightened from the north and south ends with a red velvet rope, and a small copper bell is tied to the middle hole. On the east and west sides of the bridge, there are many money stalls that exchange cash for huàn that are no longer in circulation, and exchange a dime for huàn ten coins. Tourists aim at the small copper bells on the money holes five meters away on the bridge decks on both sides of the bridge. Who can hit the bell accurately, and strike the brass bell,
This year, he will be smooth and everything will go well. This is the famous "money eye". Because of the distance and the small size of the copper bell, those who can hit it are purely accidental or have super good skills. However, there are many rich people who always want to try their "luck", even if they spend much money to exchange money.
Chunyu also secretly smacked his tongue when he heard it, this ancient man also tried his best to make money, who can play this tricky game well. Just as Chunyu was thinking like this, he suddenly heard a sound of clapping and applauding.
Chunyu curiously squeezed forward and squeezed into the middle of the circle to take a look, it turned out that someone really hit it. Chunyu originally thought that it would not be good luck, but who knew that they hit it again, and when Chunyu was very curious and was about to raise his head to see what such a good person looked like, he hit it again.
"I'll go, the third company is too good." Chunyu whispered and looked over. Then she saw Zhou Xu'an, who just looked here, and Chunyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded at him. I couldn't help but think in my heart, where is this person sacred, how can everything be very easy
It's a good look.
Zhou Xu'an didn't expect him to see this little girl so soon, he couldn't stand his grandmother's preaching today, so he brought his younger siblings here to be lively. They just happened to pass by here, and the fifth brother Zhou Jin'an had to play this, so he had to accompany him to finish a few games, but he didn't expect him to win and make a lot of trouble
Jin An was very depressed.
"Meng'er, didn't you say a few days ago that the dim sum sent by Chunyu Tuo Qin Zhong was delicious, and you really wanted to meet her?" Zhou Xu'an saw that Chunyu only smiled at him and nodded, and he didn't mean to come over, but for some reason he was not very comfortable and hurriedly said to his third sister Zhou Mengya.
"Yes, it's a pity that her family isn't here, otherwise I would have brought her with me today." Zhou Mengya said with a smile that she liked the spring rain very much, and it was very happy and comfortable to talk to her. Unlike the second sister Zhou Mengchan and the fourth sister Zhou Mengjuan, one is obviously very small-minded and easy to get angry, but he has to pretend to be gentle and virtuous
Shuzhi generally looks, an arrogant and arrogant person always quarrels with others, so she is too lazy to deal with it.
"Miss, look who that is." Caiyu on the side also discovered the spring rain, and happily pointed to the direction of the spring rain and said to Zhou Mengya.
"Haha, really, let's go over then." Zhou Mengya said, pulling her eldest brother's sleeve and running forward. Completely forgot about the fifth brother and her two sisters who were still depressed in the back.
