CHAPTER XXXVI

The mountain gate of the Great Xiangguo Temple is towering, the dragon scales are bibi, the bell tower stands in the forest, the pavilion is towering, it was a very quiet place, but the Great Xiangguo Temple of this dynasty is open five times a month, ordinary people can trade in the temple, but it will be a good quiet place to get the hustle and bustle.

At the gate of the temple are birds, cats, dogs, rare birds and beasts, but everything in the world has been collected and sold here. The second is to enter the mountain gate and put out the daily application things. The courtyard is full of open-air stalls, selling cattail mats, bamboo mats, washing things, saddle reins, strong bows and arrows, seasonal fresh fruits, dried goods, bacon, and the abundance of goods is staggering.

Near the Buddha hall, the candied fruit of the Wang Daoist of the Mengjia Taoist Academy, the pen of Zhao Wenbi, and the ink of Pan Gu occupy a fixed position. The corridors on both sides are filled with nuns from various monasteries selling embroidery, flowers, pearls, jadeite, and all kinds of headdresses, crowns, hats, wigs, ribbons, and the like.

Behind the main hall, in front of the holy gate, there are books, rare treasures and pictures, as well as local products, spices and medicinal materials brought by retired officials from all walks of life. The back porch is full of stalls for divination and fortune telling, and for all kinds of portraits.

Xiangguo Temple Mountain Gate Pavilion and Zisheng Gate Pavilion, each has 500 Arhats cast in gilt copper, Buddha tooth, etc., all things such as fasting and borrowing, must be opened only by the emperor's will.

Speaking of which, in Xiangguo Temple Kaiwa City, it is also a special case of this dynasty, the atrium in the temple can accommodate 10,000 people, all business and travel transactions are gathered in it, the market is opened on the fifth day of every month, it is notoriously lively.

The three sisters of the Lin family came once when Lin Bao was living, and they have been filial piety at home in the past few years, except for the He family who took Lin Biluo to buy fruits, and they didn't go out easily, how could they have the opportunity to come to Daxiangguo Temple again?

On the tenth day of the new year, the shop was closed, He and Ying'er watched the shop at home, Lin Nan went to the school after breakfast, and the three sisters of the Lin family got up early in the morning, dressed up neatly, and went out with silver. The car was hired yesterday haode, and it was waiting outside the gate of the Lin family early in the morning, and the three sisters of the Lin family got into the car, and the coachman whipped and went to the Great Xiangguo Temple.

In front of the gate of Deshan, the coachman stopped the car, waited for the three sisters to get out of the car, and made an appointment to pick them up, and then drove away, and the three sisters went to go shopping by themselves.

On the day of the opening of the market every month, the Daxiangguo Temple is crowded with people, all of whom come to join in the fun, and there are also many young men and women who take a closer look at each stall. Lin Bi couldn't move her feet when she landed at the gate of the temple, and looked at the stalls everywhere, some of the birds were extremely beautiful, and even she couldn't say their names, but some of them also recognized, wrens and parrots.

The peddler watched Lin Biluo staring at a green-headed parrot and didn't speak, and he wanted to show off, so he taught the parrot to speak: "Little lady is early-" I didn't expect the parrot to be very clever, and when she opened her mouth, she came and shouted in a strange voice: "Little lady is early...... The little lady ...... early"

Lin Biyun and Lin Biyue squeezed over, and excitedly pointed at the green-headed parrot: "Can really talk...... Sister, sister, really talk......"

The parrot tilted its head to look at it, and suddenly flapped its wings and shouted, "Ah Lu, Ah Lu...... My name is ...... Green."

"It's so funny." The three sisters of the Lin family all laughed, and couldn't stop looking around the green-headed parrot, and the parrot was even more excited when she saw someone surrounding her, and jumped out with a series of words in her mouth: "Stupid bird, stupid bird!" The stupid bird won't say—"

The peddler looked embarrassed and scolded in a low voice: "Stupid bird! I was embarrassed to explain to the Lin sisters: "This bird ...... When I was training, the villain said a few more words about it, but I didn't expect it to remember it......"

The three sisters of the Lin family smiled at each other, "This little thing has such a clever mouth." ”

It's interesting to watch, and a coquettish voice sounded behind me: "If you can't afford it, get out!" It's in the way of others! At the same time, Lin Biluo was pushed, Lin Biyun hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her steady, and turned her head to look together, but saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing behind them, looking about the same age as Lin Biyun, her appearance was a little familiar, and she was exquisite, but she seemed to have seen it somewhere, but her expression was unexpectedly arrogant.

There were two maid rings standing beside the girl, with a similar expression to the master, one of them had apricot eyes and peach cheeks and wore a pink shirt skirt, and the eyes of the girl ring seemed to grow to the top of her head, and when she saw the three sisters of the Lin family turn around in unison, she snorted coldly: "Poor ghost, if you can't sell it, get out!" ”

Lin Biyue's face changed, and she took a step forward, but was stopped by Lin Biluo: "Second sister-" Lin Biyue had to retreat with hatred, Lin Biluo smiled: "This little lady, this stall is your family?" ”

The girl snorted coldly, and the maid next to her replied on her behalf: "My little county lord wants this stall, and it can be done by opening his mouth, why use your girl to talk too much?" ”

Lin Biluo snorted: "That means, this stall and the parrots here are not your county lord's?" What happened to our sisters? ”

The girl walked over with a high spirit, and threw a silver ticket to the stall across the three sisters of the Lin family: "Hey, my county lord has bought all the birds in your stall." ”

When the vendor saw the silver ticket, he smiled apologetically to the Lin sisters: "Three little ladies, the small stall is sold out." ”

Lin Biyue was angry to death, but Lin Biluo was not angry, and quietly pulled the two sisters, but her voice was not low: "Second sister, don't worry, Daxiangguo Temple sells this kind of talking bird, and there are a lot of all kinds of fun kittens and dogs, let's just look at them one by one, and we can always find a good one." It seemed to be for the girl.

The girl in a green shirt beckoned to her, and the servant, who did not know where she had come from, immediately stepped forward to pick up the parrot in the vendor's stall.

The girl saw that the three sisters of the Lin family ignored her completely, and walked over from a stall in Xiangxia, so she glanced at Yahuan, and Yahuan followed behind the three sisters of the Lin family, waiting for them to stop, but all the cats and dogs, birds and animals they liked were sold all the way.

When he arrived at Zuihou, Lin Biluo saw a big python coiled next to him, and he was already half happy and half exclaimed: "Sister, look, this python is so cute, if it has fangs, it's not bad to play at home." ”

The girl in the pink shirt followed all the way, and when she saw that the python's face had changed, she had already asked the girl with her eyes: County Lord, do you really want to buy this snake?

This little county lord is none other than the only daughter of the county lord of Yicheng. She has been used to being held by the stars since she was a child, and she got a letter two days ago, and she heard her classmates say that the young man Langjun who liked it made an appointment to come to Xiangguo Temple to play today, so she skipped school and came here. How do you know that when you go around in the temple, you can't see the young man you like, and your heart is impetuous, so you just passed by the vendor, and you can hear the three sisters of the Lin family laughing, and the parrot is talking cutely, so you want to find someone to vent your anger, so you can go forward to find fault.

If she is an interesting classmate of Donglin Academy, or a little sister who usually plays together, she has already bought it and offered it when she wants it, flattering her, and wants to please her. How do you know that the three sisters of the Lin family not only did not give in to each other, but also stood there and treated each other coldly, and their hearts burned even more.

-- These people in the market are the most ignorant of the rules!

The two maids around her were very handy in doing things like bullying on weekdays, and they immediately understood the master's intentions, and they were extremely unkind to the three sisters of the Lin family.

This will hear Lin Biluo praise how cute and fun the python is, and the other two women just didn't answer, so they turned their heads to ask the Lord of Lan for instructions, and the Lord of Lan County was anxious in his heart, and he impatiently called the girl: "Chun Tao, don't you buy the python?!" Rubbing what? ”

Chun Tao stepped forward to throw the silver ticket to the vendor, and there was a girl ring green bamboo to summon someone to pick up the python in the cage, Lin Biluo saw that she really took the bait, so much effort, has spent a thousand taels of silver tickets in front of the stall where she intended to linger, where the stall she walked through was immediately cleared, and the vendors of the adjacent stalls greeted them warmly: "Little lady may wish to come and take a look at this stall, maybe you can buy your favorite gadgets......"

Lin Biluo estimated that he would continue to play, and when the stupid county lord came back to his senses, maybe something would happen again, so he shook his head: "I'm afraid the silver our sisters brought is not enough, let's go inside and take a look." Pulled Lin Biyun and Lin Biyue straight inside.

The servant behind the county lord of Lan stepped forward with a bitter face: "County lord, the carriage is full, why don't you let Qin Er send these living creatures in the cart back to the mansion first, and then come back to pick up the county lord?" ”

Yu Shilan's eyes were about to burst into flames, and after seeing that the three poor sisters had not spent anything for a long time, she had spent so much silver, and kicked the servant's little foot hard: "Don't you get out of here?!" "Raise your eyes and look at it, it is crowded, where can you still find the shadow of the three sisters?

Lin Biluo dragged her two sisters to the temple, avoided the lively stalls, and hid in a quiet place. There is also a glazed giant tower in the backyard of Xiangguo Temple, the top of the tower is set up with glazed tiles, the corner of the tower hangs the copper bell, it is gorgeous and magnificent, the main tower is built around the small tower and thirteen again, it is another famous scenery of Xiangguo Temple. Walk through the corridor along the east and west tower courtyards, when you don't walk much, there is an arch, out of the arch field of vision is broadened, under the blue sky, the glazed tower in the distance is dazzling.

The three sisters did not approach the main tower, but found a small tower that no one seemed to approach, and half-hid themselves to rest for a while.

Lin Biyun looked worriedly at the way he came: "They...... Won't chase after you? ”

The anger between Lin Biyue's eyebrows has not faded: "Afraid of what they will do?" Let's haode watch the parrot there, and the county lord is bullying people. He asked Lin Biluo with palpitations: "Sister, don't you like giant pythons?" "What kind of strange hobby is this?

Lin Biluo held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, holding his stomach and giggling, he laughed enough before he said, "Where did that county lord come from?" Why are you so stupid? Today, I spent thousands of taels of silver by fooling me, and no matter how rich and noble a family is, it can't stand such a loser. I don't know whose family is blessed to marry such a lady? Under Lin Biyue's repeated questioning, she replied: "Second sister, don't you want to think about it, where would I like that giant python?" Eat it for fun or stew? "It takes courage to play with snakes.

Lin Biyun covered her lips and smiled: "Ah Mei is so bold, I was scared just now, for fear of being bullied by that county lord." ”

Lin Biluo looked at Lin Biyue sympathetically: "Second sister, eldest sister is so timid, you said that you will marry into the Wu family in the future, how can it be good to be bullied?" Do you want our sisters to come to the door to seek justice? He seemed to think again: "No, second sister, you better not go, in case you are also engaged by then...... If you go to your big sister's in-law's house like this, you won't be able to get married. It's better for me to go - second sister, don't tear it up......"

But it was Lin Biyue who was teased and twisted the fine flesh on her face.

The three sisters were fighting for a while, estimating that the county lord was impatient, so he left early, so he straightened his clothes and went to the front hall.

After they left, two teenagers turned out from behind the small tower, one of them was about ten □ years old, his face was like honey, his eyebrows were like a knife, his eyes were like cold stars, and his waist was like an ape. The other was a jade-faced scholar, half a head shorter than the honey-colored boy, similar in age, with some teasing on his face, "Brother Chu, the Lord of Lanjun chased you to this Great Xiangguo Temple." The county lord mentioned by the three sisters just now must be Yu Shilan, I didn't expect you to be suave, even the little county lord of the Yicheng county lord's family was fascinated, it was really beautiful, and the foolish brother admired it! Holding a fan and smiling at the young man surnamed Chu.

The young man surnamed Chu looked at him as a perennial martial arts practitioner, glanced at him coldly, and said unceremonously: "If you can marry the Lord of Lanjun, then you can teach the foolish brother to admire." She's just a stupid and ignorant girl who is praised by others, and she is not as good as the market girl just now. ”

The jade-faced scholar clutched his chest in pain, with a look of resentment: "Jun Yue, you know that the Lord of Lanjun is stupid and dull, and you still let me marry, which is too hurtful." ”

The young man surnamed Chu said coldly: "One is brainless, and the other is stupid and dull, isn't it a good match?" ”

The jade-faced scholar thought for a while, and actually nodded shamelessly: "You're right, so the two of us are really a good match." He smiled ill-intentionedly: "It's a pity that Lord Lan doesn't look down on me as brainless, and only looks down on your young and heroic General Chu, what should I do?" What if one day Yu Chuanxiong proposes to General Chu, and General Chu happily agrees? ”

Chu Junyue's face did not fluctuate at all, and said lightly: "Let me marry Yu Shilan, it is better to marry that little girl from Fang Cai." It's a little smaller, but it's very clever to look at, it's rare to meet someone who doesn't please Yu Shilan, it's really not easy. So saying, he went to the front hall.

The jade-faced scholar Qin Yu is from a family of the Chu family, and he is also from a family of eunuchs, and he and Chu Junyue grew up as a child, and later after Chu Junyue joined the army, they were separated for a few years. Unexpectedly, in the spring of this year, Chu Junyue was transferred back to Shangjing from the Southern Naval Division and became the commander of the Tiger Wing Army, and the two got together again.

In front of the mountain gate of Xiangguo Temple, Yu Shilan spent more than 1,000 taels of silver, and she didn't even see the shadow of Chu Junyue, so she had to go back to her house with hatred. Since Chu Junyue was transferred back to Beijing in the spring of the year, and now he is driving Jin Mingchi, and the Tiger Wing Army commanded by Chu Junyue won the first place in the bidding competition, so he taught Yu Shilan to pay attention.

She has reached the age of treatment, and finally has a crush, the county lord of Yicheng and Yu Chuanxiong are happy to see it, and even now I have heard some rumors.

Chu Junyue saw that Yu Shilan was rude and domineering, and his character was extremely bad, so he avoided this little county lord intentionally or unintentionally, but someone still revealed his whereabouts to Yu Shilan from time to time, which was equivalent to being chased and intercepted by many people, hoping that they could be combined into this pair, and the powerful young people in Beijing could breathe a sigh of relief.

Although everyone is holding Yu Shilan, there are many young people who are sycophants around her on weekdays, but there are really no people who really want to marry her home.

However, Yu Shilan believed that her family background and beauty were not bad, but she never took the teenagers around her in her eyes, and Chu Junyue came out coldly, and somehow she fell in love with it when she came and went, and she couldn't let go of her hand anymore.

The three sisters of the Lin family didn't know about this public case, the three sisters looked all the way, and bought a crown for the He family, and bought a pen for Zhao Wenxiu for Lin Nan, and bought candied fruit for the royal people. ”

After being satisfied, he came out of Xiangguo Temple and walked towards the agreed place to park the carriage, but he didn't know that Chu Junyue and Qin Yu were also strolling around at random.

Qin Yu saw the three sisters who were carefree, but he only saw the back but never saw the front, and deliberately poked Chu Junyue's waist and eyes: "San Lang, look, that's the little lady you look at, look at this head, it shouldn't have grown up yet, and I don't know how it looks?" Why don't we go to the front and take a look? ”

Unexpectedly, Chu Junyue really made a visual inspection from afar, and replied to him briefly: "Looking at this height, I can almost get engaged." ”

Qin Yu was stunned and turned his head to look: "Jun Yue, you're not here for real, are you?" Really stimulated by Yu Shilan? ”

Chu Junyue was recently chased and intercepted by the Lord of Lan, which made him very annoying, which suddenly seemed to open his spiritual aura, "Why didn't I think of it earlier?" If that stupid girl bothers me again, I'll find a little lady to get engaged first. "The first strike is stronger, since you can't fight back, you still don't believe that Yu Chuanxiong and the county lord of Yicheng are willing to be concubines of their daughters?

He had an idea, and his pace was brisk, thinking about going back to find a suitable candidate first, only to go out of the mountain gate not far away, the crowd was much sparse, and he saw that the three sisters were looking around, as if looking for a carriage, and rushed over a carriage in the oblique stab, looking at the speed of the horse's running, it seemed that he was frightened, and saw that the three sisters were about to be rolled under the wheels, but saw that the youngest little lady suddenly pushed the two sisters, but she herself took two steps back because of the force, and was about to be trampled under the hooves of the horse......

Lin Biyun and Lin Biyue exclaimed as they were pushed away: "Ah Mei-" turned around and was about to rush towards Lin Biluo.

But I saw a young man rushing out of nowhere, his skills were really neat, his speed was extremely fast, and he hugged his little sister around his waist, which was able to avoid the oncoming carriage......

Lin Biluo's mind was blank, the whole person was stupid, the incident happened suddenly, she only had time to push away the two sisters, only to feel that the hot breath of the horse that rushed over was about to spray on her face, but she was pulled in an instant......

The carriage rushed over, and she was softly nestled in the arms of the person behind her, and the person didn't say anything, just waiting for Lin Biyun and Lin Biyue to rush over, the two sisters were scared into tears and touched her face, "Sister, you ......"

The tears in Lin Biyun's eyes were broken, "Sister, if something happens to you, how can you explain to Sister Auntie when you go back?" You don't want Sister Ah to live! ”

Seeing that there was no injury on her face, Lin Biyue suddenly patted her on the shoulder and scolded: "You bad girl, is this going to scare people to death?" ”

Lin Biluo only settled down at this time, knowing that she was out of danger, she only felt that the arms behind her were generous and warm, and the arm holding her waist was like iron casting, gently breaking away, and comforting Lin Biyun first: "Big sister is about to get married, if you hurt somewhere, how can you get married?" The second sister still has to look at other people......"

Lin Biyun burst into tears even more when she heard this: "Big sister is so useless, you have to worry about everything, even if something happens, you are in the way...... You ......"

Lin Biluo's legs are no longer weak, and the whole person has strength, and he hurriedly whispered: "Big sister, don't cry, I haven't thanked the benefactor yet, you cry again to scare the benefactor away!" Turning his head, he first bowed deeply to the young man in front of him, "Thank you Lang Jun for saving your life!" When I raised my head, I secretly praised in my heart: What a handsome person, standing like a javelin, with resolute facial features and clear eyes, I don't know which family raised such a boy!
