Section 465 Spring and Jingming Rush to the Mountain
Next
"Father, oh, Dad, where are we going?" Wu Taixun, who looked curious about the cute appearance of the baby, pulled his father's suit pocket and asked.
"Baby, our family is going to the mountain meeting at noon today, okay?" Picking up Wu Taixun, who was already more than fifty pounds, Wu Chenxuan also felt that this little guy was a little down, so he simply let him on his shoulder.
"Okay, let's climb the mountain." Holding his father's head and dancing and chattering iron toy gun in his hand, this is the top of the sky above 10,000 people, and it is probably the second son who has this treatment. The eldest son, Wu Taiqian, was dressed in a snow-white suit-style school uniform, with a lion head embroidered on his chest pocket, which was the symbol of Shandong Shi Yàn High School. At the age of sixteen, he is about to graduate from high school, and he is still easy to study after skipping two levels, although it is not as exaggerated as the doctor's mother who was directly admitted to a prestigious French school from a domestic women's high school, but it is enough to become the "other people's child" in the mouth of many parents in Shiyàn Middle School. Although he uses Wu Zhiqian's pseudonym, he still relies on his excellent studies, fierce martial arts and handsome piano skills to make many girls secretly agree with this gentle and elegant little handsome guy who always comes and goes.
In addition to the opening of individual families and outstanding female students can go on to university, many girls who have completed high school are considered intellectuals, and can choose a junior college to study some housekeeping and financial management skills, then they can be called intellectual women. Therefore, although the marriage law positions the legal age of marriage as 20 years old for men and 19 years old for women, it can't stop these girls' families from starting to open their mother-in-law's house in sixteen or seventeen. This Wu Zhiqian, who is obviously the son of a famous family, is of course a popular candidate for the fast son-in-law of the East Bed, but no matter how powerful the parents of those girls are, they can't find out the origin of this Young Master Wu. On the contrary, some peers in the twenty-four family are very familiar with this prince, but there are warnings in the family, even if a girl likes this, they dare not confess, how can the position of the crown princess be a good match, and an accident is a major event of the family's succession. Therefore, the boys who know his identity can still communicate with the prince on an equal footing, but those girls have to be very reserved in front of the prince, Wu Taiqian's high school career ended without any crimson memories, which has to be said to be a big pity.
At this moment, Wu Taiqian looked at his younger brother on the emperor's father's neck, smiling slightly, without a trace of waves, but Wu Taizhen, the seven-year-old second daughter Wu Taizhen, who was holding Wu Chenxuan's right hand, looked disapproving, and made a little adult, but from time to time he peeked at his younger brother who was making a fortune on his father's neck, and the envy, jealousy and hatred in his eyes were almost revealed.
Wu Taiqian accompanied his mother Wang Yunning to follow behind, and when he encountered the steps, Wu Taiqian had to help him, although the main palace mother was still light, but her son's filial piety still made the mother's heart very useful. Although Wang Yunning has given birth to two sons and two daughters, but the demeanor of the mother of the country still allows her to overwhelm the crowd, although it is only a plain blue dress and a cashmere wool shawl, but that temperament makes the surrounding pedestrians avoid it intentionally or unintentionally, compared to Wu Daguan, who is carrying his little son and holding his little daughter, the style of the prince and the mother of the palace is called the royal style, as for the man in the suit who walked in front of him, he was basically given a passerby everyone. The eldest daughter Wu Taikun planned to go to the Invalides General Hospital with a group of girls from Minghu Primary School today to visit the orphaned and disabled veterans, and also rehearsed a few shows, so she had to be absent from today's family action today.
Today is the Spring Mountain Meeting on March 3, people from all four miles and eight towns come to this Thousand Buddha Mountain to catch up with the mountain meeting, the vendors gather, the flow of people is like weaving, Wu Daguan's family is leisurely, but the four masters of the attendant office are busy sweating, Han Muxia, Li Jinglin, Huo Diange, Li Yaochen are also disguised and distributed around, which mysterious Director Su Wan is also dressed as a small jasper, holding an umbrella behind him.
"This Thousand Buddha Mountain Mountain Meeting has also been around for some years. Chengzong of the Yuan Dynasty set March 3 and September 9 in various prefectures and counties to worship the three emperors of Fuxi, Suiren and Shennong. Here, the monks in the temple hold Buddhist affairs, the cigarette smoke is swirling, the Buddha horn is sounded, and the bell Xin is rhyming. Dignitaries, good men and women, come to burn incense and worship, and then visit the mountains to enjoy the scenery, and the common people also come to pray sincerely and beg for the protection of the gods. In order to meet the needs of the sacrifice, the merchants brought the goods of the right time into the mountain. Since then, the Qianfoshan Mountain Fair has also changed from a simple literati to a temple fair for moose from all walks of life, and this custom has been followed by several dynasties. Wu Chenxuan introduced the history of the mountain fair to his youngest son and youngest daughter, and Mrs. Wang Yunning behind him also listened attentively, "The temple fair in the early years was very long, and there was a colorful shed at the meeting, and the big opera was sung for three days. There are also circus classes, magic tricks, monkey tricks, etc. Stalls are set up to sell, and there are mountain fairs. Most of the products sold are incense candles, fire paper, local mountain goods and other odd items. During the temple fair, there are many people who come to the temple to make incense, and there are also those who send Buddhist clothes, those who send tents, those who send embroidered shoes, those who make wishes, and those who tie rag dolls. ”
"Isn't that superstition?" Listening to his father's introduction, the eldest prince still didn't understand in his heart, he had already been to the 798 base, knew that his father was from the future, and had seen the prosperity of future technology, Wu Taiqian was even more blind to the superstition of this kind of stupid man and stupid woman.
"Superstition, perhaps. But they don't know the future world, and even if they don't have the future, they can't prove the nothingness of these gods, Buddhas, and spirits. Wu Chenxuan smiled and enlightened the eldest son, to be a monarch, the mind must be able to tolerate people, no matter what can not be simply labeled as a one-size-fits-all, although these monks and priests may not believe in them, but there is no need to crusade against them, after all, the existence of religion has the inevitability and rationality of his existence, if there is no other faith to naturally replace them, it is better not to engage in any criticism.
After 20 years of great development, Jinan has long been no longer the original rustic northern provincial capital, driven by many enterprises of Shandong Chamber of Commerce, Jinan has become an open and active economic metropolis. People from all walks of life in Jinan, Chinese and foreign tourists, take advantage of the bright spring to gather and drink thousands of Buddha Mountain, and the enterprises of the Chamber of Commerce also have a day off to enjoy the fun. On this day, the traffic is busy, the road is congested, in order to solve the difficulty of climbing, there is also a mountain bridge sliding pole, you can climb to the top of the mountain. The cable car is also under construction and is expected to be operational next year.
The mountain fair of Qianfo Mountain is also called the temple fair (in fact, there is no temple, and it is commonly known as it) is in a large open space outside the Nanweizi Gate, and the west side goes all the way to the mountain and water ditch. Every year, soon after entering the third month of the summer calendar, there are artists from some places in the province and even some places in the country to gather here, including circus, acrobatic troupe, local theater troupe, jugglers, martial arts, Shandong Kuaishu, monkeys, bears, etc., etc., They set up tents in each enclosure, leaving an entrance and exit, and sold tickets to collect money. Depending on the scale, there are large and small tents, and the total number is at least dozens. At night, there is the style of "persimmon lamp in the temple fair of a thousand tents in the middle of the night", with a radius of dozens of miles, which is quite a bit moving. Coupled with the temporary arrivals, selling rice noodles, croquettes and tofu brains, etc., and selling peanuts and candy, this qiē is mixed to form a kind of noisy and singing momentum, as if it can shake Qianfoshan in the south, Daming Lake in the north, and shake the city of Jinan.
During the mountain meeting, on the way up the mountain, there are crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, there are both young men and women who go out to play, there are also devout Buddhist believers who go to Xingguo Zen Temple to worship the Buddha, and there are more wives and children with the whole family. Along the way, there are rows of stalls selling mountain goods, miscellaneous goods, incense candles, ingots and daily necessities; The rice shed selling baked cakes, steamed buns, and wontons shouted loudly to attract customers; Folk handicrafts, candy blowers, dough kneaders, rock sugar gourds, children's toys...... A feast for the eyes; Singing, storytelling, playing foreign films, and playing woo tuk make people forget to return. Visiting the temple fair of Qianfoshan has become one of the great pleasures of Jinan people to welcome spring.
The topography of Jinan is high in the south and low in the north, from the city to the Thousand Buddha Mountain is uphill step by step, during the temple fair in the past, many farmers who "rush to the feet" are waiting for tourists to hire donkeys to go up the mountain outside the gate of Nanweizi. After the foot price is negotiated, the tourists get on the donkey, and the porter leads the donkey with one hand, while shouting and going to the Thousand Buddha Mountain. There are also young and competitive tourists who do not need to be followed by porters, step on the donkey, pat the donkey on the cheek, and the little donkey walks towards the mountain road. When they reach the mountain, the guest dismounts the donkey, puts the reins on the donkey's neck, and the donkey automatically returns to its owner, ready to send off the next guest.
At this time, the people were simple and simple, and there was never a loss of donkeys. At that time, there were many "sedan chairs" under the root of the mountain for those dignitaries or women, children, old and weak pilgrims to climb the mountain. The sedan chair resembles an old-fashioned chair with a backrest, and two wooden poles or thick bamboo poles are worn under the chair, and two sedan chair drivers carry it in front of and behind it. The reason why it is called "sedan chair" is that the top of the seat is framed with a thin bamboo pole, and the top is covered with a white cloth shed for shading. In the past, the sedan chair bearers were mostly young farmers in nearby villages, and earned some hard money to subsidize the family during the temple fair, but now the Chamber of Commerce employs a large number of people, and the local workers in Jinan earn a lot of money, and no one has the time to fight for this hard money.
Wu Chenxuan's family walked to Shengxian Fang and stopped, Li Jinglin saw this and quickly hired four sedan chairs, Wang Yunning hugged his little daughter and got on one, Wu Taixun occupied a sedan chair early, but Wu Chenxuan did not get on the sedan chair but waved at the eldest son. "Boy, how about we climb the mountain together?"
"Okay, Dad, if you can't hold on, you can hold on, just let Uncle Li and them help you."
"Boy, your dad is still young. When carrying the beams of the house, you can still carry one by yourself. Hey, you kid ran away, you cheat. Seeing that Wu Taiqian, the eldest son who was already impatient with his father's nagging, had already taken a big step to climb to Xingguo Temple, Wu Chenxuan also hurriedly followed up, and his mouth was still babbling. Li Jinglin and Huo Diange looked helpless, so they had to follow. On the other side of the hill, seven or eight snipers in camouflage suits are quietly observing this scene, they are all special elites who graduated from He Dazhuang's base, but today they all have to perform hidden and protection tasks here, under the observer's telescope, Wu Chenxuan and Wu Taiqian are running in front, Wu Taixun is jumping on the small sedan chair to cheer for his father, and Han Muxia on the side is dressed as a housekeeper, carefully taking care of the second son. The youngest daughter twisted like a twist in her mother's arms, because the hillside was steep, Wang Yun would rather not let her jump in the sedan chair. No one noticed that Su Wan, who was still holding an umbrella just now, had changed into a yellow and green camouflage at this moment, shuttling through the canopy of trees beside the mountain road like a wisp of green smoke, always covering the father and son who were squeezing around in the crowd in his sight.
