"You know that I'm talking about me, but what about you, who has been following me all along, why did you suddenly disappear, where did you go?"

Ping An touched his nose and said, "I just went to make it convenient, and I saw that you were in a hurry." ”

"Oh, who told you to leave without saying hello. Of course I'm in a hurry. ”

The two walked all the way and said that Yunzhu still wanted to buy some more, but the financial resources were limited, so they had to give up. They returned to where the carriage had been parked, got into it again, and planned to go somewhere else.

It's rare to go to Beijing, and you always have to bring some greeting gifts back to your family, Yunzhu roughly calculated, planned more than a dozen people, and the things to be sent are different depending on the relatives. Of course, she didn't forget to buy Tian Tian something she liked.

She first went to the cloth village, which has two floors, the lower floor is some ordinary cloth, and the upper floor is stacked with some high-end fabrics. All kinds of silk satin, makeup, brocade and silk are all available. She first chose two Hangzhou silk materials, one color bamboo green, the other color stone blue. I bought two more colored materials, both of which were cocooned silk.

Then I went to a place that sold jewelry hairpins, and selected a few hairpins, including silver, gilt, treasure, and wood carving, all of which were of different colors. After coming out of the jewelry store, he went to a pastry shop, and Yunzhu wanted to taste what the dim sum in the capital tasted like. Two boxes of each were chosen.

Ping An couldn't help but quip: "You buy so many things, and we don't want to open a grocery store." ”

"What? Worried about money? Don't worry, I'll earn it back. It's hard to come to the capital, but you can't go back empty-handed. I also have to give gifts to my relatives and friends. You're in charge. Don't you even care about that? ”

Ping An thought that he just said something casually, and Yunzhu muttered these things in a rambling manner, muttering to himself, "Aren't you in charge now?" When am I going to be in charge? ”

In the end, Yunzhu got into a relatively large bookstore. Ping An was even more confused. No one in the family is studying.

Yunzhu and Ping'an said: "This is Sister Luo, who asked me, saying that Hutou wants to buy two latest imperial examination articles, let me help me take a look." "Anyway, the teaching assistant is the hottest in any era.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the bookstore, there were all kinds of imperial examination articles from some famous people neatly displayed in the most conspicuous position.

Yunzhu doesn't understand this, and Ping An doesn't understand either. She only asked the shopkeeper which ones had the best sales, and the shopkeeper recommended some to her. Yunzhu picked up a book. Flipped over. It's just a palm-sized pamphlet, and it's densely written with a lot of words. Secretly, I'm afraid that someone will quietly bring these pocket books to the examination room. However, in this era, it is said that fraud is very strict. If you don't pay attention to it, you will be imprisoned, and if you make a big fuss, you will be implicated in several people, and it is not just a matter of prison. There is a good chance that it will take your life.

Yun Zhu estimated that he helped Tiger Head buy a few copies. I also bought some enlightenment books and pen and ink.

Later, as soon as I checked out, I was surprised that these imperial examination books were sold very expensive, and it seemed that only a small booklet could be sold for one or two pieces of silver. Therefore, it is too hard for the children of poor families to take the road of the imperial examination.

"You bought ten boxes of ink. What to do when you buy so much? ”

Yunzhu said as a matter of course: "Of course, it will be reserved for Xiaoxi in the future." ”

"Are you going to let him go in the future?"

"Well, don't force it. It depends on his own wishes. But you have to read and write. ”

"That's right."

Yunzhu originally wanted to buy a few more pieces of paper, but there were enough things in the car, and if she bought it again, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it away. Fortunately, the paper is also easy to buy, so I just gave up.

The couple sent the things back to the inn. Tian Tian hasn't come back yet. It seems that he had a lot of fun at Zhao's house. There's still an afternoon to spend the afternoon.

"Why don't we go to the nearby White Pagoda Temple?"

"I didn't expect you to clear the door."

"How can you go out without inquiry."

Ping'an asked Xiao Er to boil hot water and bring it up. The couple washed their faces with hot water. Yunzhu re-tied her hair and changed her clothes. The two went downstairs to eat a simple bowl of somen noodles each. After inquiring about the direction of the White Pagoda Temple, the couple went hand in hand.

At this time, the earth has just warmed up and everything has recovered. As soon as the branches sprouted, the ice floes in the river gradually melted. The warmth of spring shines on the body, and it is a little lazy.

Yunzhu stretched and stretched his muscles.

Such a rare leisure is a luxury for her.

Walking on the streets of the capital made her feel like she was in a dream.

Baita Temple is in the western suburbs, I heard that it is a place with many private gardens, and many royal relatives and nobles have garden properties in that area. Fortunately, the White Pagoda Temple was not included in anyone's family temple. It is said that the incense is very strong.

After walking for a while, he went out of the city, because there was no sedan car, all relying on a pair of feet, and it was nothing safe, but Yunzhu walked a little slowly later.

Since it is early spring, the trees are budding, and it is far from the time when the trees are shady, so the mountain scenery looks a little bare.

"Is there such a lofty mountain in the northwest?"

"Where is it, there are more deserts over there, especially when the wind and sand rise, it rolls up several feet high, and you can't even get out of the door. We are not locals and are not familiar with it, because we have suffered several times because of this weather. If you can see green trees, rivers and so on, it can't be better, it means you can survive. When I was wounded, I wandered around for a while, so that I could find another river, or I would have died in the desert. ”

Listening to Ping'an talk about those things in the northwest, Yunzhu felt distressed every time. This man has suffered too much outside, and she only hopes that he is safe and not to take any more risks.

After walking through a mountain road, I reached a small hill, and when I looked up, I could see the White Pagoda not far away. The tower stands at the top of the mountain, and from a distance, it seems to be relatively small.

When you go down the hill, you go down the mountain. The road down the mountain is a little slippery, not easy to walk, Ping An has been holding Yunzhu's hand tightly, and the two of them walked one after the other.

"I'm going to do something with the general tomorrow, and if there is no one to accompany you, you can go to the general's wife and show your face. I've heard that the General's wife wants to take you on a cruise. ”

"It's fine. You don't have to worry about me, but you. I don't know what kind of situation will happen. But what I want is to do whatever you want, and I hope that my child and I will not become a bond to you. ”

Ping An thought. Family is a lifelong bond, and all the efforts he makes now are to hope to give his family a peaceful and prosperous life. If his family keeps worrying about him, it doesn't seem to be good.

After walking through a bare forest, there are blooming apricot blossom forests in front of you.

The apricot blossoms all over the mountains, pink, white, and patchy. Like clouds and clouds.

Yunzhu looked at the flowers and trees in the sky, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

She turned back to Ping'an and smiled, "It's really a good place." ”

Ping An folded a few apricot blossoms and put them on the sideburns for Yunzhu. Yunzhu pushed away with a smile: "I don't wear this." It looks weird and rustic. ”

"Where is it rustic, it's so good-looking."

When Ping'an saw the golden blooming flowers again, he picked many more vines and fiddled with them for a while. I made a garland and put it on for Yunzhu. This time the cloud bead was not taken off.

The two frolicked almost all the way. I stepped on the bluestone steps, which are said to be hundreds of years old, and walked slowly up the mountain along the stone steps.

"Hey, you said that when we are fifty or sixty years old, we don't have to worry about our children anymore, let's go out and play enough, and we can go wherever we want?"

Yunzhu smiled: "By that time, you will still be able to climb the mountain, and you will have to worry about your grandson after you finish worrying about your son." I'm afraid that I won't be idle for the rest of my life. ”

Ping An snorted disapprerovingly: "Hmph, is it possible that we have been tied up by children in this life?" No, you should come out and take a look while you can still walk around in the back. ”

Yunzhu didn't expect Ping'an's thinking to be quite advanced, but she felt that it was difficult to get her wish.

"If you can't walk anymore. I'm still carrying you on my back! ”

"I'm relieved to have you say this."

Before I knew it, I had climbed halfway up the mountain. There are quite a few pedestrians and tourists along the way. Pawn peddlers, scholars and pilgrims, almost endlessly.

Stopping and stopping all the way, I finally went up the mountain.

In front of you, you will see a temple covered with yellow glazed tiles, which looks like a royal temple. I only feel that the ancient cypress is deep and the pine waves are bursting. The occasional sound of the Zen bell is becoming more and more simple and vigorous.

They came to the main hall and bowed down to the Bodhisattva with a solemn treasure, and they were very religious.

Yunzhu made the most simple wish in front of the Buddha "peace of the house".

From the Mahavira Hall to the Bodhi Hall, from the Three Western Sages to the Five Hundred Arhats. They looked at each other. and coming out of the apse. The tower is still on the top of the mountain. The two walked hand in hand.

Although it is called the "White Tower", it is not a white tower. Take a closer look, it's extremely simple and simple. There are several big copper bells hanging in the body of the tower, the wind is passing, crisp and sounding, tactful and pleasant.

"The person I inquired about said that this tower is dedicated to the relics of a high monk from 500 years ago. I've heard of thefts. ”

"Is the relic still in the tower?" Yunzhu was curious.

Before Ping An could answer, the person who was incense next to him hurriedly picked up the conversation and said, "Yes, of course." This high monk is highly virtuous, extremely valuable, and deeply respected by the world. It was because of this relic that it was built into a royal temple. Where are you from? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. The monks will be unhappy. The person who said this was a woman in her fifties, who recited it in fragments and bowed down very reverently.

Yunzhu and Ping'an went around along which tower, the tower body was painted with various Buddhist stories, and many allusions Yunzhu couldn't understand. However, standing on the top of this mountain and looking down, there is quite a view of the small formations of the mountains. Some high-rise buildings can also be seen in the distant city. Looking at it this way, the city is indeed very large. She heard that there were many noble families in this garden, and after a closer look, it seemed that she could not see any special scenery, and they were probably all locked in the courtyard wall.

When they returned to the inn, it was already late, and Tian Tian still hadn't returned. Ping An was a little worried, so he said to Yunzhu: "Why don't I go over and take a look, you can rest for a while." ”

"Well, be careful."

Ping'an went out, but when he got downstairs, he met Liao Yan.

When the two met, Liao Yan asked, "Why didn't you see Brother Feng today?" ”

Ping'an said: "I told the general that I was going to have a day off today, and I happened to accompany my in-house to buy some things." Mr. Liao came here, is there something wrong? ”

Liao Yan said: "I have something I want to say to you. ”

Ping'an asked Liao Yan to go to the upper room to talk in detail.

Yun Zhu took off his shoes, saw two blood blisters on his feet, and was in some pain, and was about to rub it well, when he heard the sound of peace approaching, and said secretly, can you come back so soon?

But Ping'an didn't enter the house, but pushed open the door next to it, and Yunzhu was stunned, thinking that it seemed that there was anyone else with him. She couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly put on her shoes. Ignoring the discomfort of her feet, she opened the door, and before the door next door was closed, she walked in.

Ping'an was about to ask Xiao Er to bring tea, and when he saw Yunzhu, he hurriedly said, "It's just right, you go and let me send some tea, I have something to discuss with Mr. Liao." ”

"Okay." Yunzhu turned around and went downstairs, thinking to himself, didn't Tian Tian go and ask?

Yun Zhu didn't want to disturb them at the moment, so after instructing Xiao Er, he sat in the lobby downstairs, wanting to breathe in the air. The housekeeper's proprietress came up and took the initiative to talk to Yunzhu.

"Ouch, where are you from?"

Yunzhu replied with a smile: "Chengxian? ”

"Chengxian? Where is Chengxian? "The hostess hadn't heard of it either. However, this did not prevent her from making friends with Yun Zhupan. Anyway, women will never be indispensable to talk about together. After a few times, I became acquainted.

The proprietress said, "You can stay for a long time, and I can give you a little more affordable price." ”

"Seriously, that's great."

The two were talking happily, and someone from the Zhao family came. Yun Zhu thought, Tian Tian finally came back, and hurriedly got up to greet him, never thought that a grandmother got off the carriage, and came to Yun Zhu and smiled: "Miss Feng and our third miss had a good time, saying that they won't come back tonight." I also ask Grandma Feng to sit there tomorrow morning. Madame wants a banquet. ”

"Not coming back. Hey, I've been worried about her for a day, is it okay? ”

Mama smiled: "What can it be, the ladies are all playing in the garden." ”

Yunzhu asked again: "Who does the general's wife want to invite?" ”

Mama said: "It's a lot, it's either a lady or a wife, they all come and go on some scenes." ”

Yunzhu thought that since it was very formal, then she should also pay attention to it.

Mama repeatedly instructed: "Madame said please be early, Grandma Feng don't forget." ”

Yunzhu nodded in agreement.

The boss and the proprietress muttered in the back, and the boss said: "You are really generous, you will be discounted when you say that you will give a discount, are you watching the money slip away?" ”

The proprietress said angrily: "You have fallen into the eyes of money, how about being generous?" They're from out of town, but you see who they're dealing with. We won't go unreaped. How dare you say more?! The proprietress glared at the boss, and the boss was afraid of guilt, and he didn't dare to come out. (To be continued......)
