Chapter 47: The Tablet of the Obon Festival

The noise next door was much quieter, and knowing that there were Jinyi guards here, the lifters didn't dare to talk about the affairs of the court casually. At this time, the sky gradually darkened, the moon hung in the air, Liansheng pushed open the window to look over, only to see that suddenly there were a lot of lights on the street, on both sides of the people, shops pΓΉ doors hanging lamps, there are incense burners with incense, and there are a lot of stalls selling krathongs, most of these krathongs are mainly lotus, the candlelight is pink, looking at the past from a distance, the street corner seems to bloom ten thousand lotus flowers, Liansheng can't help but exclaim: "It's so beautiful." ”

Wang Heng also looked over when he heard this: "What is a special good day for the list to be released today?" ”

"Obon, today is Obon." Yu Shizhao stood up and pointed to the distance outside the window with a fan: "Look over there, those people should have gone to Qujiangchi to pray for blessings." ”

Lian Sheng turned his head and said with a smile: "Then we will go too." ”

This sentence is very comfortable and pleasant in Yu Shizhao's ears, Liansheng's eyes are shining in the moonlight, and his small mouth is slightly pouted, Yu Shizhao is a little fascinated, Liansheng saw that his eyes were fixed, and he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "My lord!" ”

Yu Shizhao came back to his senses and lowered his head in embarrassment. And Wang Heng said indifferently: "I still have to go back to the Gongyuan, but I don't have a clue about the case in the lotus pond." ”

"yes, you still have something to do, go back quickly." Yu Shizhao urged, and then he looked at Liansheng: "Let's go, I'll take you there." I've seen this Obon a few times in the past, and it's really fun. ”

When I came downstairs, the street was already full of people, and everyone was walking in the direction of Qujiang Pond. Many people in the new imperial examination are even more smiling, and the flowing water is a great and elegant thing, and it is also very good to go to the river lamp if you don't go to the river today. Yu Shizhao urged Liansheng to leave quickly, but Liansheng turned around, looked at Wang Heng who was walking in the other direction, and shouted, "Lord Wang." ”

Wang Heng4 turned back to her and smiled: "Have fun." ”

"Let's go together, shall we?" Behind Liansheng are moving people, all kinds of people are carrying lamps, the light is far away, there are monks from the temple chanting scriptures and walking in a line, the sound of wooden fish is clattering, Liansheng stands in the middle of the crowd, a moving smile looks extraordinarily pure, Wang Heng only feels that something is collapsing in a corner of his heart. Yu Shizhao said: "Lord Wang is the most important thing about business, little girl, don't disturb others, let's go." ”

Wang Heng saw that the light on Liansheng's face dimmed, and hurriedly said, "Okay." ”

Yu Shizhao glared at him: "Wang Heng, your burden is not light, you still have time to hang out, be careful that I go to visit you in front of the Holy Lord." ”

Wang Heng walked over, and Yu Shizhao whispered a warning in his ear.

"Even if I go, the saint has always thought that I am too dull and boring, if he knows that I can travel with beauty, he will naturally be happy for me, and it is difficult to say what grace he will give me when he is happy for a while." Wang Heng also said in an extremely subtle voice that could only be heard by the two of them.

"What grace?" Yu Shizhao stopped: "You make it clear." ”

"What do you say? I have also reached the marriageable age, the concubine Niangniang said that as long as there is a favorite woman, she will marry me, and the family background is not considered in the scope, the concubine Niangniang is very shocking. ”

When Yu Shizhao heard this, he glared at him fiercely, turned around and saw that Lian Sheng was buying lanterns, and stepped forward quickly: "Whatever lamps you like, buy them." ”

He pointed with his hand to buy all the lamps, and Lian Sheng pulled his sleeve: "Nerves, how can you take away so many lamps." One light is enough, I'm not greedy. ”

"One light is enough? Not greedy? Yu Shizhao suddenly smiled again: "Okay, I want one, you can pick it." ”

Liansheng took a fancy to a little rabbit, Yu Shizhao took out the silver, and was stopped by Liansheng: "You give so much for a few dollars, where can people find it." ”

As he spoke, he took out the copper coin from his purse, counted ten out, took the rabbit lamp from the vendor's hand, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "A lamp costs ten big boys, it's really expensive." Wang Heng came into contact with the nobles of the family, all of them were either expressionless and reserved, or they were extremely polite and unified smile standards, hiding themselves under the mask of the nobles, the girl in front of her was so vivid, she was smart and cute, and her every move was naturally unpretentious, she could regret that the lamp of the ten eldest sons was expensive in the court, but she was still carrying a little rabbit lamp like a treasure, and the smile was from the heart, no wonder the wandering Yu Shizhao was a little different to her.

The four of them walked together in the direction of Qujiangchi, Liansheng was next to Yu Shizhao and Qianer, and Wang Heng was next to Qianer, he just walked a few steps to try to get to Liansheng's side, but he didn't expect this Qianer to suddenly shake in front of him, and then directly occupied the position on Liansheng's left hand, with an expressionless face, and he couldn't tell if it was intentional. Yu Shizhao's eyes swept the corner of his eyes to Qianer's movements, and nodded secretly: Yes, I want to promote this kid when I go back, so it's right to squeeze Wang Heng's guy.

The four of them followed the crowd and finally came to Qujiang Pond, where many monks dressed in robes gathered here from Daci'en Temple and Xingshan Temple to close their eyes and chant sutras on the shore. Not far away, the Taoist priests of Zhongnan Mountain also began to chant, and for a while, the Sanskrit sound was faint, lined with various colored lights, and there was an indescribable alternative silence on the shore. said quiet, but there was a chanting voice, and there were red men and green women everywhere, but Liansheng felt that there was an indescribable sense of peace in his heart in this chanting, and gradually there was sadness.

Today is the folk commonly known as the seventh and a half months, it is also the Obon Festival, Buddhism calls it the Buddha Joy Day, Buddhists offer to the monks on this day, return to their parents with merits, called the Bon Festival, Taoism sets this day as the Midyear Festival, and it is the birthday of the local officials, it is the day of the local officials' forgiveness of sins, there is the custom of worshiping ancestors, and pray for the local officials to forgive the sins of the ancestors' souls.

In front of the monks is a large offering table, on which are all kinds of melons and fruits and snacks and many tablets, the same is true of Taoism, there are many tablets enshrined, and there are many believers next to them to take out money to the guests, and bring a small papier-mΓ’chΓ© tablet with the name to be enshrined and put it in the middle of those tablets, which is to make merit for the dead. Liansheng watched someone spend money on the monk to write the tablet and then ran to the Taoist priest to continue writing, he really grabbed his beard and eyebrows, and couldn't help but chuckle at the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "How can you believe in monks and Taoists, what does this person believe?" ”

"They?" Yu Shizhao glanced at it and whispered in her ear: "That's a ghost in my heart, I hope that the gods and Buddhas can eliminate the ghosts in their hearts, even if it is the gods and Buddhas of those red-haired ghosts and foreigners, they will believe it." Because of the loud chanting, I had to speak close to my ears, but the heat was blowing on my earlobes, and the hair I was blowing flew around, hanging on my cheeks, itching for a while, Liansheng moved to the side quietly, and then used his hand to pull the moving hair behind his ears, Yu Shizhao's eyes followed the movements of her fingers and stayed on her earlobe, where hung a small white jade pendant, a crystal moist drop earring, trembling slightly in her ear, maybe this environment was too disturbing, Yu Shizhao actually stretched out his hand. Wang Heng coughed a few dry coughs, Yu Shizhao's hand stopped in Liansheng's ear, Liansheng didn't notice it at all, and walked straight to the monk who was chanting, her cousin is a believer in Buddhism, and she wanted to write a tablet for her cousin's family.

Yu Shizhao looked at Wang Heng, and the latter also looked clear, pouting at him as if I was deliberate.

"You, be careful." Wang Heng still said it.

"Your identity is different from mine, such a woman lives freely and naturally, you can't trap her within the high walls, if you really like it, you might as well let her be as free as this."

"Like, how about going back?"

Yu Shizhao raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Nah? In the face of such a crystal clear woman, are you embarrassed to say the word cashier? ”

The two of them naturally spoke in a very low voice, but Qian Er's eyebrows were obviously furrowed, and his gaze slid from Wang Heng to Yu Shizhao, thoughtfully.

"Guess what I saw?" Liansheng ran over from the monk's chanting, because he was in a hurry, and he was a little panting: "Shangzhou Mu Yunping Mu Gongzi's tablet!" ”

"Who is Mu Yunping?" Yu Shizhao paused for a moment.

"Could it really be Mu Yunping, who once disappeared in the Gongyuan?" Wang Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Let's go and take a look." ”

Yu Shizhao looked at Qianer, who could only step forward and explain a few words in his ear, Yu Shizhao shook his head and said: "There are so many people with the same name in the world, it may not be the person that the Gongsheng said." Having said this, he immediately lifted his heel as well.

Liansheng quietly pointed to a tablet on the table: "I just spent money to write a tablet, a person who looks like a maid, paid the money, said that he couldn't write, and asked the governor and monk to help write it, and what was written was Shangzhou Mu Yunping." The monk also said that the more detailed this tablet is written, the better it is for the excess, and asked the maid that it is best to write the birth and death year of Mu Yunping in Shangzhou. Liansheng rolled his eyes and continued: "I guess she may not know this person's birth year, that is, someone who is not very familiar, who would spend money to write this for someone who is not very familiar?" Naturally, it's guilty, and there's a ghost in your heart, right? ”

Wang Heng nodded again and again: "You're right, this thing is really quite suspicious." ”

"There are so many people with the same name and surname, isn't it necessarily the same person?" Yu Shizhao was disapproving.

"It's in the same place with the same name and surname, and the maid doesn't know the year of life to be written, there are a lot of doubts, hey, it's the maid! She went to the Taoist priest's side. ”

Liansheng pointed to the Taoist priest, "Sure enough, there are ghosts in my heart, I hope that the gods and Buddhas can eliminate the ghosts in my heart, right, Lord Yu?" ”

Yu Shizhao couldn't help but smile: "Yes, you girl is really bad!" ”

As she spoke, Liansheng had already walked to the Taoist priest's side, and the remaining three people didn't know what she was going to do, so they all stood there and looked over. I saw Lian Sheng carrying a little rabbit lamp, looking left and right, and was about to walk up to a woman in a light-colored shirt, pretending to be tripped over something, and crashing straight into the person. The little rabbit lamp hit the person, the lampshade fell, the candle flew out and hit the woman's shirt, and it went out, the woman held Liansheng with one hand, and couldn't help but caress the shirt with the other.

"This ghost girl, it is estimated that the wax oil has made everyone else!"

Yu Shizhao was about to step forward, Wang Heng asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"The wax oil has made other girls, and I have to compensate for the losses of others, so I, as a brother, naturally want to stand up for my sister."

Yu Shizhao walked over, and sure enough, he listened to Liansheng and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, I'm clumsy, girl, I soiled your clothes, what can I do?" ”

The maid was also anxious to cry: "This shirt was given to me by my young lady today, how do you walk, Sister Nenghong will definitely scold me for not cherishing things." ”

"Little sister, you are reckless again." Yu Shizhao walked over and looked at the maid: "My sister has an unintentional mistake, and I hope that the girl will not be like her." ”

The maid saw a beautiful boy coming over, the hand stroking the shirt couldn't help but stop, looked up at Yu Shizhao and hurriedly lowered her head, Liansheng saw that the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her hand trembled slightly, and couldn't help glaring at Yu Shizhao: You are discharging again.

Yu Shizhao raised his eyebrows: I am innocent.

"Brother, what do you think should be done? I've soiled this girl's shirt, or I'll pay her a piece. ”

"Naturally, I want to pay someone a piece." Yu Shizhao asked with a straight face: "It would be too vulgar to rashly pay the girl money, it is night again, and the ready-to-wear shop will not open, why don't the girl leave an address, I will send someone to send the same dress to the girl tomorrow?" ”

The expression on his face was serious, but the peach blossom eyes could drip water tenderly, the maid looked at him, couldn't help but feel fluttering, and just about to speak, he heard someone shouting: "Chunliu, what are you rubbing your little hooves there?" ”

"Sister Nenghong, my shirt is dirty." The little maid was stroking her shirt stained with wax oil just now, but now it has turned into a hand that keeps rubbing the corners of her clothes.

"It's dirty, it's dirty, hurry up." The maid named Nenghong came over and pulled the spring willow and was about to leave.

"This sister, it's all my fault, I soiled this girl's shirt, I'm willing to pay for it."

Liansheng pretended to be timid.

"No, no." Nenghong pulled the spring willow and left.

Yu Shizhao glanced back at Qian'er, who nodded and disappeared into the crowd.

Yu Shizhao saw the two maids walking away, lowered his head and smiled: "Sister, look carefully, this time it's still Shangzhou Mu Yunping?" ”

He pointed to the spiritual seat enshrined in front of the Taoist priests.

Before the words fell, his feet hurt, and Liansheng sighed: "I'm really sorry, my lord, I stepped on your foot." ”
