Tang Mo'er's eyes were misty, and she murmured, "Is this the mandarin duck?" There are two flying birds, which call themselves mandarin ducks. Raise your head to each other, and reach five watches every night. Only such a bird is the most loyal in the world. ”

Shen Ao smiled, it is good for mandarin ducks to live and fly together, but he knows that mandarin ducks are the most flowery birds. A pair of mandarin ducks that live and fly in the morning, and at night, perhaps the male bird has changed a mate, but where can the ancients tell that the female bird has changed hands, and still continues to sing the praises of the loyalty of the mandarin duck.

Shen Ao couldn't say these words, and said with a smile: "Why should Miss Mo'er be sentimental, although this bird is dying, but isn't this its wish?" ”

Tang Mo'er said: "Shen Gongzi is really ruthless. ”

Shen Ao was silent, but he went to look at the scenery of the backyard, looked at the small flower garden that had been opened up, and said, "Aren't these flowers and plants planted by Miss Mo'er?" ”

Tang Mo'er bowed her head and said, "Childe also knows how to appreciate flowers?" ”

Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "I can't appreciate flowers, but I'm very proficient in drinking flower tea." ”

Tang Mo'er smiled, but frowned at the crested ibis.

At this time, Mrs. Tang poured tea, and asked the two of them to sit in the hall, and complained to Shen Ao: "That master of yours is really annoying, and he finally has a few days of leisure, but he is looking for friends everywhere, this family, he doesn't care about it anyway." ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Lord Tang has a wide range of friends, and the master should be happy." ”

Mrs. Tang took a sip: "I'm so happy, this thousand catties of burden doesn't fall on him." ”

poured tea for Shen Ao, put it in front of Shen Ao, and continued: "This kind of thing is not for outsiders, but Shen Gongzi is not an outsider, so don't defend him, just listen to it." ”

Shen Ao had no choice but to smile and go to drink tea, and said, "The student understands. ”

Mrs. Tang chattered and said: "In a few days, you will have to take the palace test, it is related to your future, you don't have to be careless." ”

Shen Ao nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the teacher's teachings are remembered by the students." ”

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "You are such a polite person. ”

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Tang seemed to think of something, and said: "Ming said that there is a temple fair in the Chenghuang Temple, it is said that the living immortals of Tianyi Sect have to do things in person, and the magical powers of the living immortals are extremely vast, which can cure all kinds of diseases, turn stones into gold, and the immortal law is endless." Shen Aoming said go too, and then ask for the living gods to bless you to win the championship in one fell swoop...... But this matter ......" Mrs. Tang lowered her voice and said: "Don't tell your Lord Tang, if he knows, and he doesn't know what to say, the gentleman respects ghosts and gods and stays away, scared, since it is to worship ghosts and gods, why should you be estranged, your master is confused in reading, you must not be so confused." ”

Tang Mo'er said on the side: "Mother, Shen Gongzi is also a scholar, how to teach him to believe in ghosts and gods, I don't believe in these little tricks." ”

Mrs. Tang was suddenly silent, and said angrily: "What nonsense is the stupid girl talking about, bah, bah...... Don't say anything blasphemy against Tianzun in the future, this living immortal Tianzun has great powers, I have seen it with my own eyes, is this kind of thing still fake? You girl, you are also stupid to read, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, this sentence is good, blame only for the mother's momentary confusion, when you were a child, your father held you to read, but did not branch you apart, you look, you look, what is it like now. ”

Tang Mo'er suddenly said very aggrievedly: "Men study, why can't women study, what is not talented is virtue, I don't believe it." ”

Shen Ao hurriedly looked at his nose and nose, and sat still, he was not easy to mix with this kind of family affairs, but what kind of living immortals, Shen Ao actually didn't believe it.

However, in this era, there is a large market for living Buddha immortals, it is said that it is the emperor, and he also admires immortal arts, and the local government does not dare to ban it at will, which slowly fuels this atmosphere.

Mrs. Tang said again: "Shen Gongzi, don't listen to Mo'er's nonsense, she is open-mouthed, I will take you to the temple fair, and you will pray for blessings yourself, maybe you can be blessed by the gods." ”

Shen Ao was embarrassed for a while, glanced at Tang Mo'er, saw her shaking her head at herself, and saw Mrs. Tang's earnest eyes, weighed for a moment and said, "Then go to the temple fair and join in the fun." ”

Mrs. Tang was overjoyed and said, "This is great, Ming said that many neighbors will also go together, you will come early in the morning, don't delay things." ”

Shen Ao should come down, after eating here, he went back to the mansion, the palace test is getting closer and closer, he is trying to take the opportunity to relax, he has never experienced the temple fair, but he is full of interest.

The next morning, Mrs. called him over, Shen Ao said that he was going out today, Mrs. asked him where he was going, Mrs. worshiped Buddha, Shen Ao didn't dare to say that he was going to watch the living immortals, so he just said that he had an appointment with a few classmates.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Tang, when she arrived at Tang's house, Mrs. Tang had already gotten up, wearing a newly cut shirt, and said happily: "You and Mo'er are waiting here, and I will call a few neighbors to go with me." ”

Tang Mo'er came out, saw Shen Ao pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Does Shen Gongzi really want to pray for blessings?" ”

Shen Ao said: "There is no need to pray for blessings, but it is my hobby to watch the living immortals, I want to see what the living immortals are doing." ”

Tang Mo'er chuckled and said, "You don't have a serious time." ”

After a while, Mrs. Tang called someone outside the courtyard, Shen Ao and Tang Mo'er both went out, and saw a few more women beside Mrs. Tang, looking at Shen Ao one by one, but they were all smiling and groaning, which was very meaningful.

Mrs. Tang said to everyone: "This is a distant relative of my family, and he happened to come to visit today, so I took him to the temple fair." ”

said that Shen Ao was a distant relative, and for the sake of convenience, Shen Ao understood, and hurriedly said: "Yes, this time I came to visit my aunt, and I happened to go to the temple fair to have a look." ”

Several women laughed and said, "This scholar looks quite handsome, but I don't know if I have allowed a kiss." They didn't cover their mouths, and they were laughing and talking nonsense with Mrs. Tang, even if Shen Ao was thick-skinned, he was slightly red at the moment.

Shen Ao followed behind, Mrs. Tang pulled Tang Mo'er and a few women side by side, most of these women have a good relationship with Mrs. Tang, but there is one who is quite competitive, all the way over, it is actually chattering, saying that her own daughter is married to Liu Juren in the east of the city, and how honest this Liu Ju's family is, and how many gifts he usually gives to himself.

The words changed, but he said to Tang Mo'er: "You are so old, don't you find a wishful husband soon, and if you delay it any longer, those sons and scholars will not be rare." ”

Tang Mo'er was silent, but she just lowered her head and held her mother to follow suit.

Seeing that Tang Mo'er didn't answer, the woman said to Shen Ao again: "Childe's accent seems to be a little weird, I wonder if Childe is a foreigner?" ”

Shen Ao's accent is really a little different from Bianliang's.

Shen Ao fooled her casually: "Yes, I came to Bianjing to join my family." ”

The woman smiled and said disdainfully: "When you come to Bianjing, you should go to the temple fair, the temple fair at the foot of the Son of Heaven is different from the market in other places." Shen Gongzi, I see that the quality of your clothes and accessories is not bad, and you are wearing a scarf, could it be that you have already made a name? I'm afraid it's already a showman. ”

Shen Ao smiled and nodded.

The woman said, "It's good to have a fame, but if you listen to the old body's advice, the old body also has a few words to say." I don't know how many people have read throughout the ages, but how many can go to high school? The people and talents who rushed to take the imperial examination filled Bianjing City with talents, but how? There are a few people who are really proud. ”

She said proudly, and said proudly: "For example, my virtuous Xu, although he was selected for the promotion, but after taking the imperial examination, he knew that it was difficult to get this jinshi, he was not a nerd, anyway, he had a fame, so he started some business, although it was lowly to do business, but the silver was really not?" After only a few years of hard work, he has now made a fortune and bought a big mansion in the east of the city. Childe, tell me about it, is this the truth? ”

Shen Ao didn't want to pay attention to her, so he only said, "It's not bad at all." ”

Mrs. Tang obviously didn't like this woman either, and hurriedly beckoned to Shen Ao: "Shen Ao, come to me to talk." ”

When the woman saw Mrs. Tang like this, how could she not know what Mrs. Tang meant, her eyes flashed with displeasure, and she said, "Just like Mrs. Tang, although her husband was angry, she fought for her and came back. But what? What's the difference with us cheap bodies? Therefore, this is not what ordinary people can do, people are officials, they are freshly dressed and angry, but some people are officials, both shabby and undignified, what is the use of such officials? ”

This kind of open and secret struggle between women is often more intense than any family fight, palace fight, and political fight, and the woman doesn't know if it is because someone praises Shen Ao and handsome, and she has a heart of comparison, and deliberately sacrifices her son-in-law, but she never thought that Fang Cai's words touched Mrs. Tang's backlash, Mrs. Tang said indifferently: "Although my husband can't be an official, he can be a man, and he wants to be worthy of his heart. ”

She usually complains that Tang Yan can't make money back, but at this moment, she is trying her best to protect her, and she suddenly became a poor and happy layman, with a little pride on her face.

The woman sneered, "Yes, this seems like my son-in-law has done something unseemly." And he spoke no more.

Along the way, one of the women saw someone buying candy in the distance, so she went to the merchant with great interest and asked for the price, and the woman was angry and sincerely wanted to find face, so she said, "It's just a matter of a few pennies, merchant, bring me ten strings, and invite you sisters to eat." As he spoke, he took out dozens of dollars.
