Section 14 City God Temple (Part II)

"Who taught you this?" Silently, he shook off his hand without a trace, and said with a strange expression.

"They, those brothers in the ethnography." The fourth young master closed the golden fan and asked strangely, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"Of course not." Shen Mo rolled his eyes and said: "Broken sleeves, divided peaches, and Longyang, the three allusions say one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" The fourth young master flashed a pair of small eyes and asked honestly.

"Male love." Silence lowered his voice.

Shen Jing stayed for a while, and then there was a burst of cursing in Shaoxing dialect, Shen Mo didn't understand it, but it was probably 'settling accounts with them' or something.

He thought that this guy should go back to find a place, but after a while, Shen Jing stopped scolding, and said angrily: "Let's go, go to the river to relax." ”

Shen Mo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why don't you go to them to settle accounts?" ”

"Forget it, it's up to anyone." Shen Jing said vaguely, obviously not wanting to say more.

Shen Mo didn't have the habit of exploring people, so he nodded and went first. Shen Jing followed behind with his head bored, obviously still angry.

As soon as the two of them went out one after the other, they silently heard someone call to themselves: "Chaosheng, Chaosheng......"

He followed the prestige, and saw a tall young man, standing in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, waving to him in surprise.

"The eldest son?!" Shen Mo suddenly had a smiling face, and walked over in three steps and two steps to meet the big man.

This person is the 'eldest son' in Shen He's mouth, and he is indeed tall enough. At the age of fourteen or fifteen years old, he was more than six feet tall, and the silence was only up to his nose...... And Shen Mo's stature is as tall as Shen Jing, who is three or four years older than him, which is already tall among southerners.

The two first hugged each other, and then patted each other on the shoulder and said, "I miss me." Seeing that they were so hot, Shen Jing, who was on the side, said sourly: "This is a broken sleeve, right?" "He's still learning and putting it to use.

Shen Mo rolled his eyes and said, "No one will want to be crooked." He ignored him and said to his eldest son, "I went out for the first time today, and I was going to tell you that I was safe." ”

The eldest son is a typical southerner and northerner, with a national face, thick lips, and big and bright eyes, and he is a real person at first glance. He scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "It's me who is not good, I was busy helping my family harvest crops a few days ago, and I only have time to see you today." As he spoke, he picked up the fish basket from behind him and said, "Catch a few live fish and make up for you." ”

"No, I'm already alive." Shen Mo smiled: "Take it back and give it to your uncle and aunt to eat." ”

"They're going to hit me." The eldest son said simply: "You can take it." ”

Shen Jing on the side couldn't get used to seeing them grinding, and said impatiently: "Aren't they just two fish?" I'll leave it for you, at most I'll cut two catties of meat tomorrow and send it to his family? ”

Shen Mo looked at Shen Jing with some surprise, and said in his heart that this guy is not useless, at least his heart and eyes are turning very quickly.

"Who is this?" The eldest son said strangely: "Are you a relative?" ”

"Oh, let me introduce you, this is my ......" Shen Jing looked at Shen Jing silently, and said in a little confusion for a while: "What do you call it?" He really couldn't figure out the intricate veins of the big family.

"I don't know." Shen Jing said irresponsibly: "Maybe it's a cousin." ”

"That's how it should be." Shen Mo nodded. He could see that Shen Jing, this kid, was purely close to himself, so he was no longer polite to him.

"Chaosheng, are you going out?" The eldest son was a man of interest.

"yes, we're going out." Shen Jing nodded and said, "If you have something to do, go and get busy first." ”

Shen Mo glared at him, grabbed his eldest son and said, "Didn't you say that you were okay today?" Let's go shopping. ”

The eldest son nodded and said, "The work in the field is done, and there is nothing to do for a while." The fourth young master rolled his eyes in anger.

Seeing that the two of them were heading west side by side, the stupid big man was still carrying a fish basket in his hand, and Shen Jing said angrily behind his back: "Isn't it too heavy?" He snatched the fish basket and asked Menzi to send it to Wentao Courtyard, where Shen Mo lived, and walked on the other side of Shen Mo angrily.

The three of them, one in a brocade robe, one in a cloth coat, and one in a short shirt, represent the rich son, the common scholar and the poor peasant, and it is said that these three people should never come together. But they walked side by side, swaggering through the market regardless of before and after, attracting the sideways of passers-by.

For Shen Jing, as long as he can attract the attention of others, it is a good thing; The eldest son followed silently, and he never said a word without asking others.

As for the silence, he was already distracted...... This was actually the first time he had set foot on the streets of this era. The wide, smooth stone pavement is densely populated with pedestrians. On the left side of the road are rows of two- or three-story buildings with white walls and black tiles, and on the right side is the clear river. On the first floor of the small building, there are all kinds of storefronts, and there are all kinds of signboard flags hanging on the faΓ§ade, some of which are very elegant, such as the 'Juxiangju' carved in seal style, and the 'wine flag style' written in cursive. Some are very straightforward, drawing directly on the flag to sell things, such as scissors, iron pots, etc.

There is no end in sight to the river along the road, and there are narrow and long canopy boats coming and going on the river, and every dozen zhang away, there is a small arched stone bridge for pedestrians to pass, and the water road goes its own way, and no one gets in the way of anyone's business.

After walking silently for a long time, Shen Jing finally couldn't help but say, "I said brother, where are you going?" Is it really a walk along the river? ”

"City God Temple." Silently said the way of destination.

"Which City God Temple?" This time, Shen Jing and Yao's eldest son said in unison.

"Oh......" Shen silently closed his eyes and recalled, and said softly, "The one from Yongchangfang." ”

No wonder they asked, because there are three City God Temples in Shaoxing City. It is said that 'the city god temple in the city, the land temple outside the city' is enough to have one in a city, why are there three? This has to start with the god of the city god, this immortal whose main job is to protect the city and ensure public order, before the national dynasty, was still a small immortal like the land prince, and when converted into the official position of the national dynasty, at most it is a nine grades, and it is not even in the stream.

However, since the founding of the dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao, who knew that his beliefs were terrible, ordered the construction of the City God Temple on the scale of the government yamen at all levels, and ordered officials at all levels to take the oath of office in the City God Temple when they went to work. It has greatly elevated the status of the City God Temple, making it a must-have building above the county seat.

The uniqueness of Shaoxing City lies in the fact that the city is divided into two halves and is divided into two counties by a boundary river. To the east is Huiji, and to the west is San'in. Since it is two counties, it is natural that there must be two land temples.

And how did the third one come about? I'm sorry, because this place is so good, so the government of Shaoxing Mansion is also located in the city, and you have something that the county magistrate has, it is impossible for our mayor not to have it, right?

Not only to have, but also to be bigger, better and more magnificent! This is the so-called Shaoxing 'one government, two counties and three city gods'!
