"Sanqing respects God, believers are always happy, this time asking for marriage, can't you give me back the empty sign? If you have the ability, you will appear to me and turn an empty lottery for me! ”

After speaking, Chang Le stared at the stick holder tightly, and shook his hands carefully a few times, I don't know if the movements were too light and he couldn't get a single one. Chang Le can probably predict the ending, and it must be the same as the last time. Either it's empty, or you can't draw it, or it's a change of way to fix you!

In a fit of anger, Chang Le was a little irritable and didn't want to shake the lottery holder properly.

At this moment, her wrist was hot on the ground, and she screamed in pain, and threw the stick holder out violently.

"Huh!"

The whole tube of wooden sticks flew out, and fell all over the ground with a "click", scattered everywhere left and right.

Chang Le was happy this time, his eyes inadvertently swept to the right, and he vaguely saw that the man kneeling next to her was holding the stick holder with both hands and was a little stiff, staring at the pile of wooden sticks that suddenly flew in front of him with a complicated expression.

Chang Le swallowed his saliva and cautiously turned his head to peek at the emotions of the man next door. The right hand tightened the wrist of the left hand that had been burned, and the white jade bracelet on it was still hot.

I hope this person is not a grumpy person, and don't beat her up as a psychopath who muddies the waters.

The man next to him just shook out a wooden stick, and as soon as the wooden stick landed, a piece of wooden stick came and covered his stick tightly, and he couldn't tell which one was. At this moment, looking at the mess in front of him, he was speechless.

Chang Le's look at it didn't matter, he was fascinated all of a sudden.

The man next to him has an extremely good-looking face, with thick eyebrows and neat eyebrows, and his long eyelashes are thick and curly like a small fan, and the dim light hits it and leaves a silhouette on it.

His eyes are a little deep, the bridge of his nose is high, his cheeks are angular, and his thin lips are lightly pursed. He frowned and lowered his eyes, at just the right angle, like a sculpture carefully carved by ancient Greek craftsmen.

Although his appearance is not as charming and gorgeous as King Huai, nor is he as gentlemanly as the lord of the fast, he is also unusual. If you want to describe, Huaiwang is a Chinese painting with strong ink and color, the lord of Zhai is a piece of moist and clear fairy jade, and the person in front of him is a clear pool under the autumn sun, just looking at it is a little refreshing.

Suddenly, the man moved, turning his head to meet Chang Le's gaze.

Chang Le met his dark brown eyes, and he was a little moved.

Mom, it's been a long time since I've felt this kind of heartbeat. I have been moved twice when I passed through, the first time was to see the Lord, and the second time was to meet King Huai.

Belch...... In this way, it seems that the number of times is a bit much.

It doesn't matter, though.

“S…… Childe, offended, offended, Miss Chang didn't mean to disturb. ”

Xiao Dao, who was in charge of the Sanqing Palace, hurriedly stepped forward and inserted it directly between the two of them, blocking half of Chang Le's body, and couldn't wait to apologize to the man, but it was obvious that he was protecting Chang Le. Just kidding, Chang Le is a noble man for their eight returns. Don't say it for the Taoist chief, you must ensure that she is foolproof in the Taoist temple.

Chang Le was a little dissatisfied that Xiaodao blocked her sight, tilted his head slightly, revealed half of his face, and took the initiative to talk to the beautiful man: "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it just now." ”

It's all because Uncle Baili suddenly got nervous and made the bracelet so hot, he just wanted to burn her.

"Out of the way."

The man smiled lightly, put the holder aside, and got up. He was wearing a brocade robe with dark blue silver threads, and his whole person was very luxurious, showing nobility and elegance with his gestures, and naturally there was a kind of domineering atmosphere.

Chang Le was already attracted by his cold voice because of the three words he said. Raised eyebrows and smiled secretly, isn't this the domineering president's style?

"This boy and brother look at it, he's so angry." Chang Le smiled at Xiaodao who was packing up the wooden sticks, Xiaodao sighed and ignored her, Chang Le was not discouraged, and continued to ask, "Is it that you have a lot of sons and brothers here every Qixi Festival?" ”

"There really can't be a second one who can compare to this son." Xiaodao muttered and handed the sign holder back to her, "Miss Chang, do you still want to kneel?" ”

Chang Le glanced at the stick holder in his hand, leaned forward very indecently, took the stick holder used by the man before, and asked Xiaodao in a good voice: "Can you know what the wooden stick he just shook out is?" ”

Xiaodao shook his head: "This is all mixed up with the girl, how do you know?" ”

"I know, you give it to me."

Chang Le said, snatched the sticker in Xiaodao's hand, poured all the sticks on the ground, and looked carefully one by one to find out if there were any duplicate sticks. She was just curious about what the man could ask for to sign out just now. Xiaodao was helpless, so he could only beckon other believers to continue to worship God and worship incense.

After searching for a long time, she finally found two identical sticks. Chang Le took out one, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile like a spring breeze: "Thirty-third sign, sign up." ”

Chang Le put it in his sleeve, put all the other skewers back into the clot, and knelt down for the last quarter of an hour in a proper manner.

King Huai is really not deceived, this Qixi Festival is really handsome men and beautiful women. She had to get to her knees and walk around, maybe she would meet the boy again.

This time, the waiting time was not so long, Chang Le thought of the forty-eighth sweet daily life with the man, and Xiaodao came to remind her, saying that half an hour had arrived.

"Have you arrived?"

Chang Le asked excitedly, moving his legs with difficulty, his knees were numb and painful, and he didn't feel like he was his own, but the pain was completely his own.

With Xiaodao's support, she easily stood up, looked left and right and saw that she didn't see King Huai and them, and even Shili and Wuze didn't come back, and the number of visiting believers became fewer. Chang Le was taken to the corner of the main hall, sat on a small stool, slapped his legs, rubbed his knees, looked left and right, and muttered carefully.

"Uncle Baili, uncle? What do you think? How much have you recovered? ”

For a long time, there was no movement.

Chang Le raised his left hand suspiciously, faced the white jade bracelet on his wrist and shouted twice: "Uncle, you have something to say." Could it be that you have recovered to wandering around? ”

Still no movement.

Chang Le firmly believed that Uncle Baili was wandering, and immediately said angrily: "Okay, you, you let me kneel here to help you absorb the aura, but you went to play by yourself." Then I'll also go around and see if the boy is still watching. ”

After the words fell, Chang Le rubbed his legs and stood up, and said hello to the Xiaodao of Sanqing Palace: "I'm going around in the temple, and after a while, King Huai and they will come back, just let them wait for me here." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Dao and the other two Dao Masters exchanged glances back and forth a few times, and said busily, "Then Xiao Dao accompanies the girl, the Xuanling Temple is also quite big, and there are still some places where you can't break in." ”

"Okay, let's go." Chang Le ran out first, and Xiaodao followed.

Xuanlingguan has indeed put a lot of effort into this Qixi Festival, and there are all kinds of painted lanterns hanging on the side of the corridor and roadside.

The lampshade has a gauze net woven from high-quality silk, embroidered with plain pictures, what Lao Suo fishes, what magpie bridge meets, the themes are diverse, and most of them are mainly love stories between men and women. There are also pasted paper lanterns with pen and ink drawings on them, which are also the subject of love stories.

Such a light scene naturally provoked talented and beautiful people to stop and watch, and from time to time they also commented on two sentences to show their talents and knowledge.

Chang Le looked at it, and was still surprised at first, but then the more he looked at it, the more unhappy he became.

"Did you ask someone to make all the lanterns?"

Xiaodao replied: "Yes, they are all masters of the first-class embroidery workshops and painting workshops." ”

Chang Le squinted: "Is the commission high?" ”

Xiaodao smiled: "The master's shot, it must be high, this embroidery painting is dozens of taels, and the worst is eighty taels." ”

"Eighty taels?" Chang Le exclaimed, even though she was a person who had won more than 500,000 taels, when she heard this market price, she still couldn't help but sigh, "Such a good business, why didn't the owner introduce it to me?" My drawings aren't necessarily much worse than these......"

Xiaodao looked at Chang Le's appearance and said proudly: "The market price is so high, but these painting lamps are sent by those embroidery workshops and painting workshops." ”

Chang Le was puzzled: "Given for nothing? ”

Xiaodao nodded honestly: "Yes." The Qixi Festival of our Xuanlingguan will only have more people every year, and most of them are royal eunuchs or wealthy merchants. They brought the lanterns in the hope of making a name for themselves for their signboards. ”

"Isn't this advertising in disguise?"

Chang Le was amazed, he didn't expect that there was such a commercial mutual benefit model in ancient times.

Sighing and playing with a lantern, the gauze is as thin as a cicada's wings, the net is dense and you can't see a little gap, the embroidery on it is lifelike, the embroidery method is exquisite, it is really a fine product in the boutique. Looking at those paintings, it is true that they are not drawn by ordinary painters, they should all be elderly. Whether it is embroidery or painting, there are the names of the workers on it, as well as the names of their workshops and embroidery workshops.

Chang Le doesn't know much about Guidu's embroidery workshop, but Chang Le has been to inspect Guidu's painting workshop before. The names of the workshops on these lanterns are all well-known workshops.

How can there be so many doorways in a Taoist temple? It's a grand event and an advertisement?

Later, Chang Le learned the reason from Liu Chengyan.

It was about ten years ago, and I didn't want to expand the Xuanling Temple because of the Taoist Chief, and I felt that as a state religion, the site of the state religion could not be shabby. Then he reported the matter to the current saint, who knew that the newly enthroned saint was a door-picker, and directly said that the treasury could not allocate any money, and he would talk about it after a while.

This delay dragged on for more than half a year, and he couldn't stand it anymore because of the Taoist chief, so he thought about finding donations from rich businessmen and nobles.

At that time, I was thinking under the ancient tree in the center of the lake, when suddenly a gust of wind passed, and a leaf fell on the body of the Taoist chief, who looked up at it, and suddenly the mouth suddenly opened, and there was a way to make money.

The next day, he began to preach to the outside world, saying that it was the manifestation of the gods of Sanqing, and the ancient tree in the Xuanling Temple was destined to be the marriage tree. also made a bunch of small tricks to let the marriage tree "manifest" in front of the believers, and the people immediately believed in it.

Since then, the marriage tree has been set in this way, and it has received a lot of incense.

Coincidentally, not long after that, it was Tanabata.

Not for the Taoist chief, he thought about it for a long time under the marriage tree. I thought, since there is a marriage tree in the temple, why not just hold a Tanabata festival to attract young men and women to come to worship the moon and make wishes?

At the event, when men and women meet together, there are always one or two pairs that catch their eye, as long as there are so many pairs, it can better reflect that their marriage tree "manifests", which doesn't make a reputation again?

Moreover, most of the young men and women in Guidu are the sons of aristocratic and wealthy families, and they must not care about a lot of money when they invest it.
