There are two large temple fairs in Chang'an, called the East Temple and the West Temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The East Temple is located in the small Xiangguo Temple near the fourth archway of Yong'an Fang, and the temple market is opened on the ninth and tenth days of each month. The west temple is the Dalongshan Huguo Temple on Huguosi Street, and the temple market is opened on the seventh and eighth days of each month.
Today is not the temple fair period, but these two streets have formed a fixed commercial area for a long time, gouache, antiques, tea shops, wine shops, shops stand side by side, very lively.
Gu Pingsheng and Su Su had a warm dinner in a restaurant, and after walking all the way, they walked around the street, Su Su was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was the time when he was full of energy, Xiao Nizi saw those delicate objects, and she had to stop and take a look.
Huguo Temple is extremely strong on weekdays, asking God to worship Buddha, some people come and go to pray for incense, Gu Pingsheng held Su Su's hand, looked all the way, many sons, young ladies walked together, it seems that the social atmosphere of Longting is still very open.
In the middle of summer, the breeze blows the willows and wild flowers are everywhere. The blue waves are rippling, although it is a late sunshine, but there are already warblers and swallows everywhere, red, red, green and green, and there are really a lot of people who come out to shop.
The young lady who was visiting the roadside was happy to pick wild flowers, some boldly, but they had abandoned the barrier between men and women, and fought with each other in pairs, making some innocuous jokes, and the laughter and laughter rang all the way, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Gu Pingsheng walked a few steps, and when he saw Su Su following behind him, he smiled, "Su Su, why don't you leave?"
Su Su lowered his head and whispered: "Xianggong, if we hold hands like this, it will make people laugh." β
Gu Pingsheng smiled in surprise, you just follow behind, I'm waiting for you, you listen to others singing: "Wait for a thousand years, wait for a thousand years, wait for a thousand years, I have no regrets, who is in the ear, say, love me forever, just for this sentence, aha, there is no complaint when you break your bowels." In the future, you will follow Xianggong every day, and Xianggong will look back at you if he is fine, and I will wait for you for a thousand years to come. β
Su Su glanced at him with a shy, and before he could answer, he suddenly said in an ugly voice: "This is interesting, but where did you hear this little song, why haven't I heard it?"
Gu Pingsheng turned his head to look, and saw a young scholar with a face like powder, holding a small gold-painted fan, looking at him with a smile. This little scholar is taller than Su Su, with red lips and white teeth, bright eyebrows, wearing a brocade robe, a brocade belt around his waist, elegant and graceful, and a crystal on the top of his hat, dressed very handsomely.
The little scholar opened his mouth and opened the fan with a snap: "This song is very interesting, interesting, it sounds like vernacular, but I don't know where I heard this little song from Brother Tai, when will I listen to it." β
He fanned twice quite chicly, and the jade pendants on his body were lightly interlocked, making a burst of ring-wearing sounds, and then asked: "Today's little brother and this son are also considered to have met, is this considered a thousand years of waiting, if this is the case, then it is really fate." β
Gu Pingsheng turned his eyes, and saw that next to this young man with sharp teeth and smiling mouth, there was a middle-aged man wearing a soft hat and a large-sleeved official uniform, this person was white and clean, with a graceful temperament, a slightly bloated figure but a comfortable manner, and his appearance was seven points similar to the little boy, thinking that he was a father and son.
"This..." Gu Pingsheng was a little embarrassed, this sentence is about the story of the White Snake and Xu Xian, I think it has not been circulated in this world, and looking at the rich and noble dress of the little boy, I know that people are real readers, listening to the study of Xiaoqu, he should be a particular person.
Gu Pingsheng smiled, "This is a small song evolved from a folk tale, a small song from the countryside, sung by farmers and fishermen, and the son naturally has not heard it." β
The little scholar's dark eyes rolled, and he looked very interested, and suddenly sneered: "I see, can the boy tell this story, I am very interested." βγ
The middle-aged man next to him laughed and said, "My son is talking nonsense."
Although he scolded him, he smiled and feasted, obviously doting on his son, and there was a fatherly look between his eyebrows.
The little scholar said unconvinced: "Originally, sister, your father-in-law often talks nonsense and makes you happy?"
Su Su blushed and gently smacked him, her face was flushed, but she glanced back at Gu Pingsheng sweetly, and her tenderness and sweetness could no longer be concealed.
The young man clapped his hands and laughed: "The flowers and the moon and the spring breeze between heaven and earth, the appearance of a talented woman, and the beauty is beautiful, but how can it be compared to the flying cheeks and eyes like autumn water when a woman has been in love for a long time? β
The middle-aged scholar smiled and touched his son's head, and said angrily: "Nonsense!" said Gu Pingsheng and smiled: "This son, the child is stubborn, please atone for your sins." β
Gu Pingsheng hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, don't dare, don't dare, Ling Gongzi is smart and knowledgeable, just like Puyu, he will definitely be the champion in the future." β
The little scholar smiled when he heard this, and said, "This son, can you tell me this story?"
When Su Su was in Gongji County, he had heard many stories told by Gu Pingsheng, Xue Rengui of the Three Arrows Ding Tianshan Mountain, and the god-like Sun Monkey, this time when he heard the story from Xianggong's mouth, he also wanted to hear some of them.
Gu Pingsheng saw that Su Su had some expectation in his eyes, so he said: "That's it, let's find a place to ride the wind, if I don't say it well, don't be surprised." β
The middle-aged scribe smiled and said, "It's okay, son, please speak." β
Gu Pingsheng cleared his throat and said: "Legend has it that in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a young man named Xu Xian who lived in Hangzhou Drum Tower, and went to the grave near Lingyin during the Qingming Festival of one year. When he returned, he encountered heavy rain, so he hired a boat to go home at the broken bridge. At this time, Bai Suzhen, who was cultivated by the thousand-year-old white snake, and Xiao Qing'er, who was cultivated by the green snake, turned into the main maid and the two met Xu Xian. Bai Suzhen fell in love with Xu Xian and asked to take a boat home. Xu Xian agreed to her. When they went ashore at Yongjinmen, the rain still didn't stop, so Xu Xian lent the umbrella to their master and maidservant, and went back to the store in the rain. The next day, Xu Xian went to Bai's house to get an umbrella as promised, and was warmly entertained by Bai Suzhen, and finally Xiao Qing'er agreed with him, and the two got married. Soon after their marriage, they moved to Zhenjiang and opened a pharmacy, and their life as a couple was very happy. β
Bai Suzhen's son Xu Mengjiao grew up under the care of Xu Xian, went to Beijing to take the high school entrance examination, and reported to his mother in front of Leifeng Pagoda. Xiaoqing, Xu Mengjiao, and Xu Xian reunited under the Leifeng Tower, and fought to the death with Fahai, who came to do evil again, and finally defeated Fahai. When the white lady saw that the monk Fahai fell into the West Lake, she pulled out a golden hairpin from her head, shook it in the wind, and turned it into a small order flag. Xiaoqing took the order flag, raised it above his head and shook it three times, and the water in the West Lake dried up all of a sudden. The bottom of the lake was facing the sky, and the monk Fahai hid in Tibet, unable to find a safe place. Finally, he saw a gap under the crab's navel and plunged into it. β
The crab shrank its navel, and Monk Fahai was locked inside. Monk Fahai was locked up in the belly of a crab and never came out again. Originally, the crab walked straight, but since the stomach got into the domineering Fahai monk, it could no longer go straight, so it had to crawl sideways. To this day, when we eat crabs, we can uncover its back shell and find this bald monk hiding inside. β
Gu Pingsheng's eloquence is excellent, and storytelling is even more handy, the story of the white snake and Xu Xian, after his extravagant addition, Su Su, who was moved by his affection, burst into tears in his eyes.
When the little boy heard this, he asked: "The so-called love is not doubtful in the depths, I look at Xu Xian very dimly, Bai Suzhen should have been married to him a long time ago." You listen to Bai Suzhen's name, all men in the world want their mothers to be white, su, and chaste, but this hateful Xu Xian suspects that his wife is first of all unchaste and hateful. β
This is Gu Pingsheng's ability to speak of lotus flowers, and he doesn't know how to say it.
Gu Pingsheng didn't expect this little scholar, although he was young, he had such knowledge, he was a thoughtful reader, it was not simple, and when he was embarrassed, the middle-aged scribe smiled slightly, "The story told by Childe is twists and turns, but the touching part is touching, children are rude, please don't be surprised." β
Gu Pingsheng saw that it was not early, and he had no intention of talking, and he had to torture Su Su, a little girl, at night, so he hugged his fists and agreed, and pulled Su Su away.
