Chapter 117: Token of Love

Daxiangguo Temple, one of the eight views of Bianliang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The first stop of Lu Cheng and the others' itinerary was arranged here, and then they planned to go sightseeing to the other seven scenic spots.

The record of the eight views of Bianjing began in the Chenghua period, that is, "Genyue Xingyun, Yishan Sunset, Jinliang Xiaoyue, Zisheng Fufeng, Baigang Winter Snow, Great River Spring Waves, Blowing Taiwan Autumn Rain, Kaibao Morning Bell." ā€

However, in the minds of Kaifeng people at this time, Daxiangguo Temple can obviously also be listed as a scene.

For this reason, Lu Cheng also deliberately searched in his mind, only to find that the person who later compiled the Eight Scenes of Bianjing was actually Li Lian!

The version repaired by Li Lian was changed to "Fantai Spring Dawn, Iron Tower Traveling Clouds, Jinchi Rain, Zhou Bridge Bright Moon, Big River Waves, Bianshui Autumn Wind, Sui Dike Smoke Willow, Xiangguo Frost Bell." ā€

To tell the truth, this version written by Li Lian is obviously more in line with the tastes of the people.

History is constantly evolving, just like the prosperity of Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, which has gradually declined by this time, and no longer has the status of the capital of a country.

In fact, for locals, there is nothing to visit in these places, but it is just the Lantern Festival that they go to these places to join in the fun.

At this time, it is the time of the temple fair, and the believers who come and go to the Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense come and go, and there is an endless stream. The whole street was bustling with activity, and the crowds were so crowded that horse-drawn carriages could not pass through it at all.

There was a dragon and lion dance in front of him, and all he heard in his ears was the sound of gongs and drums, Lu Cheng looked up, and saw an artist on stilts above the crowd, singing and dancing.

When Lu Cheng came out this time, what he was most worried about was that he would lose his little cousin, and it would be difficult to find him, so as soon as he arrived on this street, he quickly grabbed her little hand and dragged her forward tightly.

Zhang Zijun, who was walking next to him, couldn't help but snort softly when he saw this scene, but unfortunately there was a lot of noise here, and Lu Cheng couldn't hear it at all.

Several people stepped forward, stopped and watched for a while, and then continued to move forward, passing through the crowd to the gate of Daxiangguo Temple.

In front of the gatehouse of Daxiangguo Temple, it is even more lively, small merchants and vendors have set up stalls here early, and the sound of shouting and selling is like a competition, one louder than the other.

Lu Cheng saw at a glance that there was an old man selling sugar gourds in front of him, holding a big stick full of sugar gourds and shouting: "Sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd, freshly baked rock sugar gourd------"

Lu Cheng pulled Wang Xueyuan forward and said to the old man, "Old man, bring me a few strings of sugar gourds." ā€

"Huh? What did Childe say? Little old man, my ears are not very good, I can't hear clearly! ā€

The old man was a little deaf, and there was really a lot of people here, but he also knew that the other party should have come to buy sugar gourds, so he shouted loudly: "Childe is going to buy sugar gourds, right?" What kind of flavor do you want, how many skewers? ā€

Lu Cheng leaned into his ear, raised his voice and shouted: "Old man, I said I want to buy sugar gourds, you can bring me five strings------ and you can have some flavors." ā€

"Good, good!"

The old man finally heard it clearly this time, and quickly pulled out a few sugar gourds for him.

Lu Cheng couldn't tell how many flavors there were in this thing, so he remembered that there was a hawthorn flavor, anyway, there were all kinds of them. After paying the money, he first handed the sugar gourd to Wang Xueyuan, and asked her to choose one string first, and then let Zhang Zijun choose, and the remaining three strings were the brothers'.

For his behavior, Zuo Guoji and Li Lian are quite speechless, a big man is still eating rock sugar gourd on the street?

But it's a festival, and eating sugar gourds is not too unacceptable, so one person took a string and bit it, but he was also very happy.

After that, a few people went into Xiangguo Temple to put incense on it, and then came out to continue playing.

Walking on the street, Lu Cheng leaned over to Zhang Zijun's ear slightly and shouted, "What did you pray for?" ā€

"I won't tell you!"

Zhang Zijun's answer was extremely simple, and he didn't give Lu Caizi face at all.

Lu Cheng touched his nose brightly, and said in his heart If you don't tell me, I asked my well-behaved and lovely cousin.

However, what made him a little disappointed was that although Wang Xueyuan was not so blunt as she refused, she didn't plan to tell her cousin what was on her mind.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Zuo Guoji and the two laughed.

"Brother Lu, don't inquire about your daughter's family."

"Yes, yes, I heard that once you say it, this prayer will not work."

Don't guess the girl's mind, you can't guess it?

Lu Cheng glanced at the two of them angrily, and then pulled Wang Xueyuan to a stall, picked up small jewelry, and said: "Come on, come on, brother, now that you have money, let's buy you a hairpin." You can see which one is beautiful, pick out the ones you like, and buy a few more. ā€

With that rich and coarse tone and exaggerated expression, he really lives like a nouveau riche and a rich man.

When Zuo Guoji and Li Lian heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, with an ambiguous smile on their faces.

Zhang Zijun on the side was a little annoyed, this bastard, he actually gave that little girl a hairpin ------, it's too hateful, it's too bad to take this girl in his eyes, it's too annoying!

Where could Lu Cheng have thought that it would be easy to misunderstand this small hairpin sent out.

At this time, the hairpin and jade pendant are love tokens. If a man likes a woman, he can send a hairpin or a jade pendant, which is equivalent to a private life.

The lady in front of the stall was naturally overjoyed when she saw a guest visiting, and enthusiastically introduced the hairpin to Wang Xueyuan, the "only" girl.

Several people gathered in front of the stall, choosing hairpins------ in fact, Lu Cheng and Wang Xueyuan, a pair of cousins, were choosing.

At this moment, a small servant approached quietly, stopped behind Zhang Zijun, pulled quietly, and then left in a hurry.

Zhang Zijun was originally a person who practiced martial arts, so he was so alert about this, he immediately found out that something was wrong, and as soon as he touched his waist, he found that the situation was wrong, and immediately shouted angrily: "Bold thief, dare to steal my purse?!! ā€

Her reaction was so quick that she noticed it only after she took a few steps.

This loud shout suddenly made the man panic, and he quickly shuttled through the crowd, and soon got out of the most congested place, and trotted with the crowd.

Zhang Zijun was annoyed, there were too many people here. She had a good kung fu, but she couldn't fully use it, so she could only follow closely behind the thief, and by the time she got out of the crowd, the man had already run away.

After Lu Cheng found out about this situation, he didn't think it was a big deal, with Zhang Zijun's skills, he should be able to catch up with the thief. Even if it is because of the crowd and finally loses it, there will not be any big loss, at most it will be a matter of losing dozens of taels of silver.

The hairpin on his side was almost picked, so he hurriedly paid the bill and led a few people to chase in the direction where Zhang Zijun left.

Several people got out of the crowd, Lu Cheng raised his head to face Zuo Guoji, and was about to speak, but found that the other party's face suddenly changed, and he shouted urgently: "Be careful------"

Lu Cheng was startled, and subconsciously dodged to the side.

Snort------

A dagger glittered his right arm, easily cutting through his sleeve and leaving a trail of blood.
