Chapter 4: Monks and nuns hold a meeting
The so-called people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, Xu Zizhen looks even more majestic and extraordinary after putting on a new yamen official uniform, and the fast catchers in the house have all known that he went into the thief's nest alone to rescue more than a dozen abducted women, these rough men admired this new colleague very much, and soon Xu Zizhen became familiar with them.
Governor Wen was very good to him, and he said that he had no place to live, so he specially divided a room in the house for him to settle in, the place was not big, but it was a nest anyway.
Just when he was cleaning up the room, someone suddenly called his name outside the door, Xu Zizhen opened the door and saw that it was a young man he had just met, with a smile and a very attractive smile, named Jin Yuxi.
Jin Yuxi didn't enter the house, stood at the door and said with a wicked smile: "Brother Xu, there is a big girl looking for you outside the door." At this he squeezed his eyes, "Hey, you're a good friend, right?" Brother Xu is really amazing, he just found such a beautiful ...... in Suzhou a few days ago."
Xu Zizhen's heart moved, and he quickly interrupted him: "Okay, okay, go back and teach you a few hands, so that you can also go to the world to scourge other people's daughters." After saying that, Jin Yuxi was not allowed to say more, and he went out of the door with him, and it didn't take long to come to the gate of the mansion, and he saw a girl standing on the side of the road outside the door, it was Mo Lier.
"Pear? Why are you back again? Xu Zizhen hurriedly walked out of the house, his face was serious, in fact, his heart was happy, he was still thinking about how to find this girl in the future, and now people automatically sent it to the door.
As soon as Mo Lier looked up and saw Xu Zizhen's dress, her eyes lit up, this uniform seemed to be tailor-made for him, completely setting off his sturdy body and long figure, tall and handsome, and the little girl's heart fluttered unconsciously.
"Li'er thinks that Brother Xu doesn't have a place to live yet......"
Jin Yuxi interjected with a smile: "So sister-in-law plans to let Brother Xu live with you?" ”
Mo Li'er's little face immediately turned red, Xu Zizhen kicked it weakly, and scolded with a smile: "Don't make trouble here, Li'er is thin-skinned, don't make fun of her." ”
Jin Yuxi grinned and dodged, but still said to Mo Li'er: "Sister-in-law, are you planning to find Brother Xu to go to the temple fair?" Today is the last day. ”
"A temple fair? What's that? Xu Zizhen didn't know what this temple fair was, and he was a little dazed.
Jin Yuxi said: "You don't care what he is, anyway, it's the most lively there these days, you just take your sister-in-law there." As he spoke, he secretly took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into Xu Zizhen's hand, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xu, I know that you don't have it at hand, but this girl is really good, hurry up." ”
Xu Zizhen was moved for a while, Xiaojin is really interesting, he is clever and clever, he didn't say anything before he knew his suffering, he was no longer polite, put away the silver and replied in a low voice: "Thank you, brother." ”
Jin Yuxi smiled and turned back to the door to be on duty, Xu Zizhen turned back to Mo Li'er, scratched his head and said, "Xiao Jin said that there is a temple fair, right?" I've never seen monks and nuns gather for a meeting in my life, can you take me to see it? ”
Mo Li'er was stunned and burst out laughing: "Brother Xu, the temple fair is a traditional folk activity in Suzhou Mansion, which is divided into spring and autumn twice a year, spring is spring, and autumn is chrysanthemum, but it has nothing to do with monks and nuns. ”
Xu Zizhen's old face turned red, damn, it's shameful again!
……
The location of the temple fair is on the Tiger Hill in the northwest corner of Suzhou Mansion, it is said that it is a mountain, in fact, it is a small mound, there is a Tiger Hill Tower on the top of the mountain, it is the place where the Wu King buried his bones, here is the first scenic spot in Wuzhong, when the great Song Dynasty writer Su Shi Zeng Yun - to Suzhou does not visit Tiger Hill, it is a pity!
When he first arrived at Tiger Hill, Xu Zizhen was stunned by the excitement in front of him, good guy, there are a lot of people! He hadn't seen too many people on the road since he got here, and he hadn't seen a ghost shadow when he first woke up.
There are a lot of stalls in a flat place under Tiger Hill, all of which are carried by local people, there are handicrafts, silk products, and a lot of Suzhou folk snacks, sugar porridge, red bean balls, begonia cakes, plum blossom cakes, etc., the total number of forests is countless, and Xu Zizhen's eyes are a little dizzy.
It's almost noon now, Xu Zizhen, who has been hungry for more than ten hours, can still hold it, and pulls Mo Lier from this end of the stall to eat that end, he has a sweet tooth, and now it is even more like a mouse falling into the oil tank, and it doesn't take long for him to eat with flowers on his lips, just some bean paste and sesame candy flowers.
Mo Li'er always followed Xu Zizhen with a red face, and she could only be regarded as invisible to others, no way, Xu Zizhen was too good to eat, and almost all of the dozens of stalls along the way were patronized by him, but she didn't feel ashamed, but felt sweet in her heart, and when she turned her face and found the abnormality on Xu Zizhen's face, she couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle, and took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth for Xu Zizhen.
Xu Zizhen's heart was sweet, and he was about to take the opportunity to take her little hand, but he was suddenly hit from behind, he was not wary, and his body rushed and almost pounced on Mo Li'er, but in this way, he still accidentally stepped on Mo Li'er's little golden lotus, which made the little girl's little face pale for a while.
He stood up and looked back, but saw a few young people dressed as scholars behind him, and he had to say sorry for hitting someone, but those scholars didn't take it seriously, and walked past Xu Zizhen as if nothing had happened, and one of the fat men glanced at him disdainfully.
Xu Zizhen was immediately unhappy, he was not a master who suffered a loss and swallowed it in his stomach, not to mention that the pears were trampled on, and he was going to go up to teach those scholars a lesson as soon as his face darkened.
Mo Li'er saw that something was wrong, so she hurriedly grabbed his shirt and said softly: "Brother Xu, forget it, there are many people here, and it is inevitable that they will run into each other." ”
Xu Zizhen had to suppress his anger, and glared at the scholars hatefully, to be honest, he didn't want to beat people in front of Mo Li'er, damaging his image, but the fat man's eyes were too angry, and he clearly had a lofty posture.
Mo Li'er knew that his anger had not disappeared, so she hurriedly pulled him away: "Brother Xu, today is the last day of the temple fair, and there is a chrysanthemum meeting next to the Thousand People Stone, don't miss it." ”
Thousand people stone? Lao Tzu has only heard of thousands of beheadings, like Teacher Cang, who else is there......
There is a small pond on Tiger Hill Mountain, called Sword Pond, and not far from the Sword Pond is the Thousand People Stone, according to legend, before Wu Wang Lu in the tomb repaired in order to prevent leakage, in this place to kill a thousand craftsmen, so left such a name, every autumn here to hold a chrysanthemum meeting, one is that this place is spacious, the other is to use chrysanthemums to commemorate those dead craftsmen, but it has also become a tradition in Suzhou.
Xu Zizhen came to the location of the chrysanthemum meeting only to feel dizzy, here eyes are full of chrysanthemums, overwhelming, red, yellow, purple, green, the petals also have tongue-shaped, wide, claw-shaped, linear, see Xu Zizhen tongue-shaped.
Mo Li'er chuckled and said, "Brother Xu, what do you think of this flower?" ”
Xu Zizhen really praised: "Except for going back to Dali, I really haven't seen so many flowers at once." ”
Two years ago, several of their college classmates made an appointment to go to Yunnan together, once went to Dali, just in time to hold a camellia exhibition at the former site of Dali Muwangfu, at that time it was also full of camellias, and he was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "Huh? Hasn't this brother been to Dali? ”
Xu Zizhen looked back, but saw that it was a scholar of the same age as him, handsome, elegant and polite, followed by a young man who looked a few years younger, also dressed as a scholar, between his eyebrows and eyes was very similar to the previous scholar, a pair of bright and clear big eyes looked at himself curiously, looking at a strange appearance of elves, which was very flattering.
"I've been there, just two years ago." Xu Zizhen didn't have that sour tone, so he replied with a big grin, "I've been to Erhai Lake, Butterfly Spring, and Chongsheng Temple, and it's also a good place." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the two scholars, who were not tall, and their skin was not fair, with some flaxen.
Xu Zizhen's heart moved, and he smiled: "The two of you are from Dali, right?" ”
The slightly older scholar made a gesture: "Brother Tai has good eyesight, Xiaosheng Duan Chen, this is my younger brother Duan Yan." ”
Xu Zizhen hurriedly returned the salute: "I'...... Under Xu Zizhen. Speaking of this, he was stuck, and he really didn't know how to communicate with the reader, but he didn't learn Chinese well when he was studying, and he couldn't get sour when he wanted to sour a few words.
The little scholar Duan Yan also smiled and saluted, and suddenly said to Mo Li'er, who was silent on the side: "This sister is so beautiful, just like the person in the painting." ”
Mo Li'er blushed a little, and Fu Yifu was considered a return salute, and hid behind Xu Zizhen shyly, Xu Zizhen was funny in his heart, and he didn't mind Duan Yan's sweet mouth, anyway, he was a child, could he be his rival in love?
Duan Yan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly jumped to Mo Li'er's side, and said with a grin: "Sister, my brother and I have just come to Suzhou, can you bother my sister to take us on a tour?" ”
This kid is a little shameless! Xu Zizhen couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to speak, but he suddenly heard an unbridled laughter beside him: "At present, why don't the three of us make a couplet into a poem and make a music, I don't know what the two young brothers think?" ”
Xu Zizhen turned his head and looked, hey, it's really a narrow road, and I ran into this kid again.
