Chapter 246: The Temple Fair Begins
At this time, not far from the riverside square, the lord of Huayang County led a group of people to watch the scene of the people praying for blessings from afar in the alley.
Jingwen couldn't help but pout.
As the county lord, they didn't even say a little bit of benevolence, they had already arrived at the temple fair, but the county lord of Huayang heard that he was going to kneel down and worship and left.
Now the group is standing in this small alley, and the county lord of Huayang doesn't want to be seen by others, but think about it carefully, what's going on?
Qi Sheng also stood aside with his sword in his arms, with no expression on his face, but he was also very angry in his heart.
It's nothing for them to come to the temple fair openly, they do whatever the people do, just respect the local customs, but the county lord of Huayang broke their cognition, she wanted to see the excitement of the temple fair, but also didn't want to kneel down to worship, so she could only take them to hide in this small alley.
"Commander, this is too ......" The guard approached Qi Sheng, squeezed his eyebrows, and wanted to say something, but stopped abruptly when he saw Qi Sheng's displeased eyes.
Qi Sheng looked at the guards and shook his head, seeing that the mind of the county lord of Huayang was attracted by the square and did not hear the conversation here, so he whispered, "Talk less, do more, there are some things we have no right to question." ”
The guard blinked, Nunu mouthed, and said nothing more.
The other guards also looked distraught.
They were originally all heroes in the army, they had been on the battlefield and killed the enemy, and it was nothing to shed blood and be injured to defend the country, because that was the belief in their hearts, but since they were the personal guards of the lord of Huayang County to protect her travel, not only did they have constant trouble, but even the majesty of being a soldier was gone, and now they are hiding in this small alley, what does it look like!
"Don't think about it, let you do whatever you want, anyway, this is the last place, after we leave Suizhou City, send the Huayang County Lord to the capital and complete the mission, and then return to the army." A guard said, I don't know if he was comforting himself or others.
The others didn't know if they heard it, they were all silent, the person who spoke just now sighed silently, since he left the palace with the county lord of Huayang, he felt that he had become a mother-in-law, worried about this and that, and had nothing to do but also talk about the mistakes of the county lord of Huayang in private, if it was before, where did he have time to think about such idle things, and the daily training was enough for them to drink a pot.
The county lord of Huayang looked at the shocking scene of thousands of people kneeling and praying in unison not far away, and couldn't help but say to the maid Jingwen, "Fortunately, I didn't go over, you see that there are still a lot of stone roads in the square, if you kneel down, won't it break my knees?" ”
Jingwen pursed her lips, but hurriedly continued when the county lord of Huayang looked at her, "Yes, county lord, your golden body can't stand such hardship, and besides, the gravel road is potholed, what if it hurts your knee?" ”
"You're right, it's naturally not good to hurt your knee, but the county lord is also considerate of them for kneeling for a long time, if the county lord appears, won't they kneel again." Huayang County said pointedly.
"County Lord, you are considerate of the people's hearts, but it's a pity that they can't know, otherwise they may not be very grateful to you!" Jingwen says.
The county lord of Huayang held his head high and said proudly, "There is no need to be grateful, this county lord has never paid attention to that!" ”
Jingwen felt disgusted when she looked at the appearance of the county lord of Huayang, she was still a child of the royal family, and she was the lord of the court! There is no responsibility or responsibility at all.
As a little maid, she knows that on such a major festival, if there is a person with a noble status like the lord of Huayang, the county commander of Zhao will definitely abdicate and let the lord of Huayang preside over this temple fair.
If the county lord of Huayang didn't want to escape, how could he shirk it to Zhao County Order, and Zhao County Ling didn't let the county lord of Huayang appear on the grounds that all the programs were arranged.
Both of them have their own thoughts, the county lord of Huayang does not want to preside over the temple fair, she eats, drinks and has fun as a layman, and listens to others slipping whiskers and horses, but this kind of important matter, where does she have experience, but she is afraid in her heart and does not want to preside, and what stones will wear out her knees, is it possible that after she goes to participate, Zhao County Ling will not prepare a futon for the county lord of Huayang?
And Zhao County Ling naturally has his own considerations, I am afraid that he is also worried that the county lord of Huayang will not be able to support the field, or something will go wrong, so he found an excuse not to let the county lord of Huayang preside over the participation, and Jingwen also knows that the news of the county lord of Huayang coming to Suizhou is probably only known to the dignitaries in Suizhou City, and few ordinary people may know, and Zhao County Ling must have used means to block the news.
Everyone in the alley has their own thoughts, and on the square by the river, the temple fair has already begun.
Dance performances, troupe singing, circus with monkeys......
This was a scene of fun with the people, and the people happily watched the various performances on the high platform, and were fascinated.
Poor families don't have the opportunity to see these performances, so seeing so much today, the excitement in my heart is beyond words. And although the children of rich families can see it for spending money on weekdays, but with so many people, the lively atmosphere has never been there, and in this joyful atmosphere, everyone has a bright smile on their faces.
"Miss, look! That monkey is so funny! Shuangxi pointed to the play performed on the high platform and said.
Tang Chu also laughed, and beside her were Xie Yaoyao and Zhao Zhenzhu.
The performance of these two people is completely different, Xie Yaoyao stared intently at the stands, smiling from ear to ear, the ladylike models that her mother taught her on weekdays have disappeared, and Zhao Zhenzhu is still the calm and self-contained appearance on weekdays, but the light in her eyes also betrayed her.
Tang Chu laughed silently, and said, well, there are a few little girls of such an age who don't like to be lively, plus today is a temple fair, the whole Suizhou City is full of joy, and everyone's requirements for women have also relaxed a lot.
As the minutes passed, the night slowly darkened, and a bright moon hung on the treetops, leaving a reflection on the river.
The faint light of the fireflies also began to shine, the children couldn't bear the loneliness and began to look around for fun things, and the adults were still waiting patiently, sometimes taking care of their children, after all, there are many people today, but it is also a good time for human traffickers to take action.
The final finale is naturally Miaoyin Niang.
After Zhao Xianling introduced Miaoyin Niangzi, she retreated from the high platform, and Miaoyin Niangzi was dressed in white and slowly walked up the steps, while Daotong held a guqin for her.
"The county magistrate really invited Miaoyin Niang!" Someone in the crowd said.
"I've heard that Miaoyin Niang's piano skills are the best in the world, and we have a blessing today!" Someone else sighed.
