The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and the sun even came out in the morning.

Not long after Ji Yu got up, the housekeeper Wei came over to report with a happy face: "Miss, the sky is clear, we can set off today." ”

Ji Yu nodded perfunctorily, looking listless, not very happy.

The chief butler asked, "Wasn't Miss still in a hurry to enter Beijing before?" ”

Ji Yu wanted to say that the sky was clear, but it was too late, what was the use.

But thinking that Dabao was still waiting for her, the words were swallowed back.

"You have to travel when it's sunny, and you can't teleport to the capital, what's there to be happy about?" Ji Yu paused and asked, "When will you go?" If I'm going to leave after breakfast, I'll pack it up now. ”

Ji Yu's things never pretend to others, even the little songs she brought herself, this is clear to the big housekeeper.

He replied with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in the morning, I guess it will be in the afternoon." It's been raining for so long, the official road is fine, the trail must be difficult, today is a rare poisonous day, dry for half a day, and I'll let people explore the road later......"

"If you're not in a hurry to leave, then I'll rest for a while."

Ji Yu rubbed her temples. I didn't sleep well last night, and my brain was buzzing.

The chief housekeeper instantly became nervous: "Miss is not feeling well, do you want to call the doctor to take a look, I still have a cold ......?"

Ji Yu waved her hand: "I don't have any problems, I just thought about life all night." A person who hasn't had an all-nighter is a person who hasn't had youth, understand? ”

The big housekeeper didn't understand, but he could see that Ji Yu was in a bad mood, so he didn't ask any more.

"Then miss, you rest first, and I'll have someone bring it when the meal is ready."

Ji Yu returned to the bed, and within half an hour, Jing Mingzhu came.

"Still sleeping so late?"

Ji Yu finally regained some of her spirits and talked to her while washing.

"What, you want to read again?"

Jing Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "Books are meant to be read, but let's change places today." ”

A change of place? Ji Yu was puzzled.

"I was just in the house, and I heard the little two who delivered the tea to the nurse and told them that there is a temple fair in the city today, if you are not in a hurry to leave, you can go and see a lively scene."

Ji Yu is not too interested in the temple fair, not to mention that she has seen it in Yeyang, even in the years when she lived in the countryside in her previous life.

Temple fairs are usually held in fixed markets, and for several days in a row, people from nearby villages flock to the market as if they were rushing to the market, which is called a sea of people. Eating, drinking, wearing, playing monkeys, storytelling, singing big operas, and naturally worshipping the Buddha and burning incense are indispensable, in short, there is a dazzling array of everything.

When I was a child, I looked forward to the early arrival of the temple fair every year, and then carried the pocket money given by adults in my pocket, and rushed to the temple fair with my friends. Pink and tender marshmallows, red sugar gourds, and a snow-white cream product that is no longer named...... I can wake up smiling when I sleep happily.

But when I look back on it when I grow up, it seems to be like that. Maybe the happiness of being a child was really too easy, or maybe it had something to do with her current state of mind?

Ji Yu is not a person who will let herself indulge in a low mood for too long, and self-pity is the most disgusting behavior.

She patted her face vigorously with cold water, straightened up, and wiped it with a dry towel and said, "Okay, it's okay to go and have a look." ”

After Jing Mingzhu jumped for joy, he hesitated a little.

"I see you're a little tired, if it's just to accompany me......"

"I didn't rest well last night, I made up for sleep just now, and it's fine." Ji Yu tried to change the topic, "Aren't the temple fairs held during the New Year's year to the second dragon raising their heads in February, this is not a festival every year, which temple fair is held?" ”

"The customs are different in different places, I heard that it is related to Jizo or the altar? Originally, it was going to be held in early September, and craftsmen and jugglers from all over the country had already arrived, but the rain has been falling intermittently, and recently it has been falling continuously, and there is no time to stop. It's rare for God to give a face today, so naturally I don't dare to delay it any longer, and if I don't do it again, I heard that those people are going to disperse...... Whatever, let's just join in the fun. ”

Ji Yu nodded.

Indeed, whether the temple fair is held to pray for good weather or to worship the gods and Bodhisattvas, for the general public, it is really a lively sight.

"Have you ever had breakfast? If you don't have one, let's eat it here, and let's go straight after eating. ”

Jing Mingzhu teased: "I don't have the habit of sleeping lazy, I've used it a long time ago, you eat slowly, I'll wait for you." ”

Ji Yu finished eating slowly, fed Xiaoding again, and then went out with Jing Mingzhu.

Xiaoqu and Xiaozhou naturally wanted to follow, and the steward Wei didn't count it himself, and arranged four or five more followers. There are only a lot of people on Jing Mingzhu's side.

Tian and Yao Mama's faces were longer than the other, and they knew that they couldn't stop them, so they each wore a hat, the kind that could cover most of their bodies.

After this toss, Ji Yu regretted it a little before she went out, but Jing Mingzhu's interest did not decrease but increased.

"When I was seven or eight years old, I had a temple fair in my grandfather's county, but it was fun, and I have been remembering it until now......

"Isn't there one in the capital?"

"Yes, there are too many people, and every time it is a carriage going back to the carriage, and it is not good to go down and walk...... It's like being free now. ”

Ji Yu looked around at the airtight maids and guards surrounded by the front and back, left and right, and had nothing to say.

Seeing Ji Yu and Jing Mingzhu leave, Ruxiang's face was not very good.

Just now, Mama Yao was going to pick two maids to accompany her, she took the initiative to ask for help, but Mama Yao just glanced at her, and then skipped her and chose someone else.

The maid next to her was tiptoeing and looking at it, and she smacked continuously.

"Our young lady is amazing, she hasn't entered Beijing yet, and she actually made friends with Miss Jing."

Rue Xiang snorted and said: "Miss Jing has always been good-natured, what is this, she is also good friends with our Miss Jiayan." ”

"But she never invited Miss Jiayan to go out with her. You saw it just now, hand in hand. ”

At this time, another maid came over.

"Two days ago, I saw Mama Yao teaching her etiquette...... Mama Yao, this is recognized. ”

Rue Xiang pulled the veil: "What do you know, Mama Yao is just afraid of losing the face of the Hou Mansion." ”

"Serious teaching, and perfunctory teaching, can that be the same?"

"If Mama Yao is recognized, the old lady is ...... to pass the ten points."

"What else could I do? After all, it's her own granddaughter......"

In the midst of the gossip, Rue Xiang's face gradually sank.

The streets are indeed bustling with activity.

After days of heavy rain, the people were suffocated, and they couldn't wait to come out to let off steam, not to mention the temple fair.

The temple fair itself is not much different from what Ji Yu thought, so it is just a quick look. Jing Mingzhu was overjoyed, and she had to stop and inquire about any stall she passed by.

Pedestrians were weaving, and the group was quickly broken up into two.

Ji Yu simply asked people to go over and hand over the message, so that Jing Mingzhu could have fun, and then go to the agreed place to meet after having fun.

Seeing that Ji Yu was not in high spirits, the housekeeper was thinking about what could make her happy, and found that there was a place that was more lively, so he suggested going over there to have a look.

Ji Yu had nothing to do and followed.

When I got closer, it turned out to be a hundred skills team performing on the street.

There are three layers inside and three layers outside, and the sound of surprise comes and goes, thinking that it is just some kind of golden bell jar, iron cloth shirt, or heart-shattering boulders, sharp spears piercing the throat and the like.

Ji Yu was not very interested, and was about to leave, when she was suddenly attracted by a tiger roar.
