In the blink of an eye, on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the Tianzhen Festival designated by Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong has arrived! The officials of all sizes in the city took a day off, and Bianliang in the capital celebrated very much.

On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, it is also the birthday of Cui Fujun Temple in the north of Bianliang City, and many people in the capital go to offer offerings, and there is nothing more prosperous than here. And the most noisy place is the Great Xiangguo Temple, because the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar is also a festival of the Buddhist Temple, the name is called the "Sutra Turning Festival", on this day, the Great Xiangguo Temple opens the door of the temple to carry out the transaction of ten thousand surnames, the temple also engages in chanting the scriptures, attracting many believers to flock to it, and it is very lively.

At noon, Wu Zhi gathered everyone together and had a hearty lunch, the food was very fragrant, and Feng Niang and Feng's cooking skills were good. At that time, it stands to reason that servants of the family could not eat at the same table with their masters, but now Wu Zhi seems to be the backbone of the family, he said yes, everyone can only obey, and the nine people happily sit around for lunch.

The Feng family, the big tiger, the second tiger and Liu Yue are very honored and happy, from the panic of eating at the same table when they first moved in, to now they are gradually getting used to Wu Zhi's instructions and ease. Xiao'e is commonplace and doesn't care, and Wu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian were also stunned at the beginning, but gradually understood his intentions and accepted it silently, in fact, there is an atmosphere when people eat together, and their appetite is good.

After lunch, because the imperial court had a day off, Wu Zhi didn't have to go to work and be on duty, so he decided to take Jin Lian and others to the street to play. But just as he was about to go out, Qian Mu came to the door with a guy.

After saluting each other, Qian Mu explained his intentions.

It turned out that on the day of the Tianzhen Festival, there were a lot of high-rollers drinking at the banquet in the champion building, and the limit of twenty bottles of wine a day had been sold out at noon, and now there were many guests shouting to drink "champion alcohol" and "champion lang", Qian Mu had no choice but to come over in person to see if he could make up the goods in the past emergency.

Wu Zhi pondered for a moment, and decided to make an exception, taking out sixteen bottles of "Zhuangyuan Lang" and twenty-four bottles of "Zhuangyuan Alcohol" to bring back to him.

This accident reminded Wu Zhi that his sales strategy should be adjusted according to the festival, and he should be able to increase the sales quota appropriately during the festival to capture customers and prevent customer loss.

After sending Qian Mu away, Wu Zhi took Jin Lian and the others out of the house. A group of four people, Xiao'e and Liu Yue also followed, originally Wu Zhi also invited Wu Xiu and Feng Niang to go together, the two hesitated, smiled slightly, and did not agree, Wu Zhi had to give up.

The road is bustling with pedestrians, a festive scene.

The four of them walked and stopped, Jin Lian and Wu Zhi walked side by side in front, Xiao'e and Liu Yue followed behind, Jin Lian was particularly happy today, sometimes talking to Wu Zhi in a low voice with a smile, sometimes turning back to talk to Xiao'e and Liu Yue for a few words, looking forward to it, and the mood was very happy.

A group of four people, handsome men and beautiful women, laughter and laughter, all the way was very eye-catching, and passers-by stopped to look sideways.

After passing through the Hokang Gate, the four of them entered the inner city of Tokyo, stepped on the Xiangguoji Bridge, only to see the rippling water of the Bianhe River passing through the bridge, the people on both sides of the river were bustling, and the pedestrians on the bridge rubbed shoulders one after another, Wu Zhi and Jin Lian got off the bridge and continued to move forward, then turned left and slowly walked along the avenue in the direction of Daxiangkokuji Temple.

It is worthy of the inner city, people come and go, and this area close to the Daxiangguo Temple is even more crowded and lively. Today, there is an endless stream of people who come to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings and go shopping. Regardless of the royal family or the wealthy family, whether it is a literati or a peddler, whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is beautiful or ugly, old or young, they all come empty-handed with piety and full of expectations.

A stick of incense in front of the Buddha, a thousand things in the world.

Daixiangkokuji Temple, formerly known as Kenkuji Temple, is one of the most famous Buddhist temples in Bianliang City, Tokyo. This temple was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wenxuan, during the period of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizong personally inscribed the plaque "Daxiangguo Temple". The presiding officer of Daexiangguoji Temple was conferred by the emperor, and various royal tours and prayers were also held here, so it is still a royal temple. With the name of "Royal Temple", the incense of Daxiangguo Temple is naturally very prosperous. Even so, Xiangguo Temple is also open five times a month for the trade of ten thousand surnames, that is, the common people can trade goods in the temple, and the trade of ten thousand surnames is very popular with the public.

In each surname transaction, the trade "market" in Xiangguo Temple is complete with goods, including the needs of the people at that time to eat, drink, play and have fun.

The "market" starts in front of the temple gate, and sells birds, cats, dogs, and other things.

The second and third doors sell daily necessities, and when you enter, you will find that the stalls are not disorderly, but set up colorful tents, although they are open-air stalls, they are very orderly. Ordinary people can buy puhe, curtains, washing utensils, fruits, preserved wax and even bows and swords here, which absolutely meet all kinds of needs.

The stalls near the Buddha Hall are fixed stalls that already have a name, such as Mengjia Daoguan, Wang Daoren Honey Frying, Zhao Wenxiu's pen and Pan Gumo, etc., new and old customers will take what they need when they need it.

In front of the Zisheng Gate behind the Buddha Hall, it is the favorite place of literati and ink writers, selling books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as local specialties, spices and medicinal materials sold by retired officials from all over the country. The back porch is a stall for divination and fortune-telling.

As a royal temple, Xiangguo Temple is definitely not short of incense money. But in the Song Dynasty, under the general situation of economic development throughout the country, the temple can not lag behind, since there are stalls in the temple to sell things, there will be people shopping, so the temple began to prepare meals for the stalls, shopping fasting, and earn some "food expenses".

The corridors on both sides of the temple hall are not idle, and the teachers and aunts of each temple sell embroidery, collar wipes, flowers, pearls, heads, hats, silk threads, and so on. Therefore, the real outsider knows that it is impossible to completely detach from the world, practice the mind in the world, and have a Buddha in the heart is the realm.

The door pavilion of Xiangguo Temple and the Zisheng Gate each have 500 gold and bronze Arhats, Buddha's tooth, what is there to eat fasting, offerings, must be approved by the host of the temple to open the door, not you can enter if you want to go in with something.

The chef of Xiangguo Temple has very good cooking skills, that is, when he encounters a large-scale fasting party, three or five hundred servings of food, tea and fruit will be done after a while, and the money for this kung fu incense should be indispensable.

With the bustling trade of ten thousand surnames, Daxiangguoji Temple has become the largest and most prosperous commercial center in Bianliang, Tokyo.

And today, it is the day when the Great Xiangguo Temple is open for the trading of ten thousand surnames, starting from outside the gate, the whole Great Xiangguo Temple is full of bustling scenes inside and out, people come and go, lively and extraordinary.

Wu Zhi and his entourage of four people also came to be interested, and climbed the steps from the temple gate with the plaque of "Daxiangguo Temple" written by Emperor Taizong himself. Entering the temple, I saw that the wide square in front of me was surrounded by all kinds of stalls, the goods on the stalls were dazzling, the people in front of the stalls were crowded, all kinds of shouting and bargaining came and went, the embroidery, collar wipe, flowers, pearls, heads, hats, silk threads and other items sold on both sides of the corridor were vividly visible, the pedestrians who came and went stopped from time to time to select, bargained, and were also very noisy.

Wu Zhi and his entourage looked east and west with great interest, and slowly approached the palace gate with four gilded characters written on the forehead of the door, "protect the country and bless the people", climbed the stairs, and entered the inner courtyard through the palace gate, the inner courtyard is also a huge square, and the lively scene is roughly the same as the front yard, which is also bustling. 100 meters away, is facing the temple door is the majestic and tall Daxiong Treasure Palace, behind it, the surrounding Tianwang Palace, the octagonal glazed hall, the Tibetan scripture building, the master hall, the five hundred Arhat hall, the pagoda, the bell tower, the drum tower, the monk's room, the hall and other palace houses are scattered and open in turn, the layout is rigorous, majestic and magnificent, the front and back of the house hall are planted everywhere with the pine ancient cypress and weeping willow, lush, the whole temple is brilliant and magnificent. The side of the temple is full of various stalls, pilgrims, sightseers, diners, and shoppers, each of whom follows the goal and takes what they need.

Wu Zhi led everyone into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and asked the presiding monk for twelve incense sticks, divided into four parts and divided them into four parts for Jin Lian, Xiao'e and Liu Yue, and the four of them twisted incense to worship and make a wish. After the incense was finished, Wu Zhi took out a silver ticket of 500 yuan from his body and put it into the donation box.

Walking out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Wu Zhi led the three of them to continue to walk around the temple slowly, sit down and rest when they are tired, buy some tea to moisten their throats when they are thirsty, and buy some preserved fruits to relieve their hunger when they are hungry.

"Brother Da Lang, it looks like someone is following us!" was walking slowly, Xiao'e next to her suddenly grabbed Wu Zhi's arm, shook it, pointed to the back, and said softly.

"Leave them alone, let's go!" Wu Zhi looked back and saw a group of people surrounding a son in a brocade robe and a jade robe, pointing behind Wu Zhi and the others. Wu Zhi frowned, a little annoyed in his heart.

In fact, this group of people, Wu Zhi and the four of them met each other head-on when they walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there were eight of them, and when one of them saw Jin Lian, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't move his steps, and his eyes stared directly at Jin Lian.

Jin Lian's beauty is obvious to all, people love her, flowers bloom, gods and Buddhas will be tempted when they see her, it is normal for ordinary people to have such a reaction when they see her for the first time, so Wu Zhi didn't care at the time, and continued to wander around with Jin Lian and others, who knew that it seemed to be being targeted!

When they walked around the temple, Wu Zhi had already found that this group of people had been behind the four of them, following the four of them to stop and go, there were many people in the temple, and Wu Zhi didn't want to disturb Jin Lian and the others for this, although he was unhappy, he had to endure it and didn't have a seizure.

The sun was setting in the west, and the four of them walked out unsatisfied, ready to go home.

When the four of them walked out of the Daxiangguo Temple and slowly walked back along the temple wall, suddenly, the group of people behind everyone suddenly sped up their pace, shouted and ran to the front, and instantly blocked the four Wu Zhi people.
