Chapter 894: Temple Fair

Emperor Shengde looked at him with pity: As a monarch, you can't be hungry. You kid, you haven't had a good life for a few years!

On the first day of the new year, after entering the palace to pay a New Year's greeting to the queen, the Chu family and the Ling family will be a family and go to the suburbs of Beijing to visit the temple fair. After Gu Ye followed her mother-in-law in person, she experienced the whole process of an ancient temple fair.

The monks in the temple perform rituals and worship the gods and Buddhas, and the devotees hold life-size statues of the gods and Buddhas in a procession-style ceremony. The eldest princess took them into the incense to worship the Buddha and make wishes for blessings. Gu Ye pushed her husband with her arm: "What wish did you make?" ”

"The world is peaceful!" Ling Juechen is cool and authentic.

Gu Ye smiled and said, "What I promised is Guotai and Min'an, haha......"

"Alright, don't be poor, you two. Didn't Ye Er shout about going to the temple fair earlier? Let your husband take you shopping, be careful of the valuables on your body, don't let the thief touch it! "The eldest princess believes in Buddhism and wants to listen to the presiding lecture. She knew that the young people would definitely not be able to sit still, so she simply wouldn't torture them.

Gu Ye smiled and said: "There are four brothers, Brother Hechen is here, if I am still patronized by thieves, then this thief is definitely the king of stealing, give him a capital compliment." ”

Jun glared at her and said with a smile, "It's not a big mistake to be careful. Go ahead! ”

Outside the temple, there is a sea of people, and it is very lively. The number of believers who flocked from all over the world, plus the people who visited the temple fairs to see the excitement, plus the various street performances and business vendors, numbered in the tens of thousands. The temple fairs of Kofukuji Temple are famous far and wide, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

At the temple fair, those who sell all kinds of snacks, shoes, hats and cloths, draw lots to tell fortunes, sell dog skin plasters, play tricks, sell handicrafts, and perform shadow puppetry...... It covers all kinds of businessmen, craftsmen, and Jianghu people...... It's hard not to be lively!

Chu Mushan kept rolling her eyes, helping her sister in the back to block the crowd from time to time. He really didn't know what was there to visit in this crowded place where his shoulders rubbed his shoulders and were crowded. The food is not as delicious and exquisite as that made by Aunt Yan at home; The ones they wore were all cheap fabrics that ordinary people liked; Juggling, at first glance it is a deceptive thing, if my sister likes it, he can go back and show her...... Why, do they have to join in the fun and squeeze in?

Gu Ye took her husband's hand and walked around one stall after another with great interest. She picked up a small wooden comb and showed it to her husband: "Brother Chen, this small comb is carved with a bunch of peaches, which is very delicate and cute." ”

Before the words "aunt......" and "girl" could be spoken, the vendor looked up and saw her woman's hairstyle, and hurriedly changed her words, "Madam, this comb is carved from peach wood, an ancestral craft, look at this workmanship." Also, peach wood is to ward off evil spirits, even if you buy it back and don't use it, put it on the dresser to ensure that you can sleep with peace of mind! ”

Gu Ye raised her eyes and glanced at the husband of the god of war, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. If you talk about suppressing evil spirits, of course, you have to count the mascot next to you. The god of war is on the side, and all evils are inviolable!

Chu Mushan picked up the comb and looked at it, then put it down again: "Didn't the combs of red sandalwood and golden silk nanmu marry you more than a dozen?" If you don't need this, my brother will go to Jinyu Mantang to buy it for you! ”

The hawker was still a little unconvinced, and as soon as he heard the words "full of gold and jade", he stopped eating. Jinyu Mantang is the largest jewelry shop in Beijing, and the combs inside are high-end. Look at the three people in front of you, the clothes are all high-quality satin, and there are not many jewelry, but they are extremely expensive. It is reasonable for people not to like the small comb they carved.

Gu Ye ignored him, looked at Ling Jiechen blankly, and didn't speak. Ling Juechen knowingly took out the broken silver: "Buy!" ”】

The hawker thought that the business was in vain, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around. He hurriedly arrived: "Guest officer, this peach wood comb will charge you thirty wen, and then give you a peach pit carving, and use red thread to bring it to the child, which can ward off evil spirits." ”

"Thank you!" Gu Ye happily gave a gift, and the peach pit was carved into the shape of a small lock, and it was also decorated with patterns, which was very attentive. Bring it back to little Van Van Day!

Because Xiao Fanfan was too young, he was afraid that he would be crowded by the temple fair, so he left the little guy in the temple to listen to the Buddhist scriptures with his grandmother. The little guy was obedient, and although he wanted to join in the excitement at the temple fair, he didn't make a fuss, but just watched them leave.

Gu Ye picked up a peach hairpin from the hawker stall again, put it on his head, and asked Ling Juechen: "Is it good-looking?" ”

"You look good in whatever you wear!" Ling Juechen asked the price of the hairpin and paid the money.

Gu Ye picked up several hairpins of different colors, and couldn't make up his mind: "Don't be busy paying, I haven't looked at it yet." Brother Chen, you help me pick, which one is the best-looking? ”

"You look good with them, if you can't choose them, just buy them all." Ling Jiechen said, paying the money for the five hairpins to the vendor.

The hawker was pleasantly surprised, thinking that the peach wood jewelry he carved could not enter the eyes of nobles, but he did not expect to become his big customer. For fear that Gu Ye would regret it, the vendor hurriedly wrapped up all the peach hairpins she fancied.

Gu Ye put the "baby" he found into his small satchel. Chu Mushan asked puzzledly: "These hairpins are quite ordinary, why do you buy so many?" Can't wear it again? ”

"Sixth brother, you don't understand, do you? When visiting a temple fair, you want to enjoy the process. If you buy it, you have to buy it, and if you buy it, you don't have to wear it! Gu Ye held hands with her husband and walked towards another stall.

Chu Mushan muttered in a low voice: "What are you doing if you don't wear it?" What a loser! ”

"Stop muttering! If you don't spend your money, I'm happy to be a loser, and my husband hasn't said anything, and you're too lenient, right? Gu Ye turned around and glanced at him, "Sixth brother, you protect my money bag well, why do I think that someone is always secretly peeking at me, they must be trying to plot against my money bag?" ”

Chu Mushan glanced at the hand she was holding with her brother-in-law, and said, "People have never seen such a blatant man and woman holding hands on the street." Let go of your hands and no one will peek at you! ”

"What does it mean to be blatant? Can you speak? You single dog, you must be jealous that we are in pairs! What's wrong with holding hands? We are husband and wife, and it is legal to hold hands! Gu Ye deliberately shook the hand held by the two, wrinkled his nose at his sixth brother, and grimaced.

"Alas! The world is going down......" Chu Mushan sighed.

Gu Ye was fierce: "Besides, be careful that I beat you - I let Brother Chen beat you!" ”

Ling Jiechen said coldly on the side: "Willing to serve!" After speaking, he was secretly on guard. The daughter-in-law's five senses are very sensitive, sometimes more acute than his senses. She said that someone was peeking and didn't know where it came from.

"Big brother, there are always a few masters around the target, do you want to create some chaos and lure people away?" At a food stall, the big man who bowed his head to eat wontons asked the rickety old man next to him in a low voice.

"Wait and see, the one next to the target is the famous god of war in the Yan Kingdom, not to mention that his kung fu is in the army, even in the rivers and lakes, there are few opponents. Let's be sure to hit it with one hit, so as not to startle the snake! But the old man said in a low, young voice.

waited until the end of the temple fair, and the hands held by the two never let go. Those few in the dark are so angry that their teeth are itching - are you conjoined babies? In broad daylight, it's really insulting and unorthodox!

After using up the vegetarian food in Xingfuji Temple, the sesame oil money was added, and the group left.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the ancient aunt's day, that is, the day when the daughter returns to her parents' home, and the aunt pays New Year's greetings to her father-in-law. The eldest princess was afraid that the two young people would not understand the rules, so she prepared the gifts early. What is eaten, drunk, and used is all in even numbers. Knowing that there is no shortage of silver in my in-laws, the things I prepared are not very valuable, but they are very careful, and almost all of them cannot be bought outside.

Jun looked at the gift list brought by his daughter, and heard that these were all prepared by the eldest princess for Zhang Luo, and he was very happy. If the daughter can be valued by her mother-in-law's family, she will be relieved to be a mother.

"Mother, this beef jerky is the recipe I thought, how about you taste it?" Gu Ye took out cans of beef jerky with different flavors and let Jun taste them as if offering treasures. Seeing Xiao Fanfan watching from the side, he handed him one casually and let him nibble and play.

Jun Shi tasted it and said with a smile: "You, half of this smart and clever mind is put on studying medicine and medicine, and the other half is on the shelf." Beef is not good, but your mother-in-law is relieved to let you toss. ”

"When I first entered the wax moon, the shopping in the house accidentally purchased a cow that died accidentally. Later, during the snowstorm, the victims somehow learned that I love beef, and sold our cattle that had been crushed to death and froze to death. Don't worry, I didn't take advantage of them, and the price I gave was enough to buy a new ox in the prime of life! Although Gu Ye had just had breakfast, she didn't delay her from eating snacks. Beef jerky – her favorite!

"It's spiced, it's spicy, it's plain...... Oh, this salt-and-pepper one. I like this spiced one, the more you chew it, the more it tastes. This stuff is delicious and can be put away, and when you're done, I'll send you some. On the way back, you can accompany your meal or make a snack! ”

Speaking of going back, Gu Ye suddenly hugged his mother's arm: "Mother, if only you didn't go back!" My daughter is reluctant to let you ......"

Jun put down the jar in his hand, his eyes gradually moistened, and he choked up: "Mother is not willing to let you go!" In the first place, I shouldn't have married you so far. If you find a young talent in Fanjing, although you can't go back to your parents' house often, it's easy for your mother to see you. Unlike now, it takes nearly two months to go back to my parents' home...... As soon as we left on the sixth day of junior high school, we didn't know when the next time we met......"

"What? Are you leaving on the sixth day of junior high school? Can't you pass the Lantern Festival? I want to eat the dumplings made by my mother's bag again! Gu Ye was shocked, she knew that her parents would definitely set off after the New Year, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
