Qian Yan originally thought that ancient people believed in this kind of fortune telling, and it was estimated that many people would go to that person's stall to patronize.

Unexpectedly, there were few people at all, only a few people with sad faces there to measure words or ask good luck, most of them were watching from the side, as if they were looking at whether it was accurate.

She asked Wang Qingyue curiously: "Don't people here like fortune telling?" Why are there so few people. ”

Without waiting for Wang Qingyue to answer, Li Hanyun on the side said: "Most of the fortune tellers who find this kind of warlock are desperate, they belong to the emergency and rush to the doctor, and there are those who are undecided and want to give way in the face of trouble, so they can ask for peace of mind."

We generally don't find someone to tell fortunes, one is that we don't believe in these things, and the other is that the eight characters of birth cannot be easily revealed. ”

Qian Yan said with some doubts: "Isn't it necessary to fit the eight characters before getting married?" Didn't the eight characters of the birthday also leak out? ”

Wang Qingyue on the side said with a smile: "This combination of eight characters is generally combined by the old people in the family looking at the way recorded in the book, and those who really don't have it will go outside, most of them go to some famous Taoist temples, and ask the Taoist chief inside to help him, and the Taoist chief will not leak it out."

Another one only gives eight characters and will not give a name, and there is no way to match the number, which is much safer than this kind of random street finding. ”

Then he whispered: "Most of this kind of charlatans rely on a mouth to deceive people, and there are few who really have Taoism, otherwise they wouldn't be mixed up like this." ”

Qian Yan and Li Muxue nodded together, and the latter sentence made a lot of sense.

Qian Yan looked at the fortune teller, his face was meatless, his eyes were cloudy, except for the goatee that looked like a Taoist priest, he didn't mean anything about the fairy wind and bones.

"Ugly, don't you claim to be able to read faces, do you want to see if that fortune teller has a way?"

Ugly: "That's a liar, who cheats people out of money through clichés, and it is estimated that after reading a little book about divination, he uses some professional terms to fool people." ”

Qian Yan pursed her lips, it's really fake.

Then he asked Chouchou, "How is it over there?" Did the two fake monks go in and meet the lady? ”

Ugly: "Not yet, those two are still busy, it is estimated that they will have to wait for a while, you can go to the fasting room, the fasting dishes over there in the kitchen are almost ready, I heard them say that they will send them to the fasting room in the backyard first." ”

When she heard this, she pretended to look up at the sky, and said to a few people: "It's almost time, let's go to the fasting room, we should have lunch." ”

Li Hanyun said a little embarrassed: "Can I come with you?" I came alone and didn't make a fast in advance. ”

He came to visit the temple fair by himself, and his mother didn't use it at home, mainly because his father went to Yunzhou, and his mother was worried that he was not in the mood to go out, and there were more things at home.

Qian Yan looked at Wang Qingyue, she didn't care, but it was not good to make decisions at will, mainly because they shared a courtyard with Wang Qingyue's mother and daughter, after all, Li Hanyun was a foreign man to her, and it was normal if she didn't want to.

When Wang Qingyue saw Qian Yan looking over, she knew what she meant, nodded and said, "It's okay, anyway, there are a lot of us, just use them together." ”

It's not a lonely man and a widow, there are so many of them, and no one will say anything.

Since she had no opinion, several people entered the temple through the side door together, and went directly to the backyard along the stone path.

Wang Qingyue, they basically come every year, so they are very familiar with this Qingyuan Temple, and they don't need anyone to lead the way.

Walking on the path, there should have been some flowers and plants on both sides before, but now they have dried up, and I can't tell what kind of species they are.

Occasionally, there were a few trees, although the leaves had fallen, and the bark and branches looked like apple and peach.

The building of this Qingyuan Temple is still quite large, there are three entrances in front of the main hall with the hall and the apse, and there is a row of small courtyards and wings in the back.

The small courtyard is an independent fasting room, and the side room is where the monks in the temple live, and there are also surplus ones for the monks who come from other places to borrow.

The group of them walked from the front to the back, so they also walked for a while.

Qian Yan asked Wang Qingyue curiously: "This Qingyuan Temple occupies a lot of land, is it built by the people spontaneously or by the imperial court?" ”

Wang Qingyue felt that her words were a little strange, but she still understood the meaning of her words.

Everyone basically knows the origin of this Qingyuan Temple, so he replied: "It was built by a great good man named Yang Lin here before, and that Yang Dashan was the richest man in Qinzhou Mansion, because he had no heirs, he went around asking God to worship Buddha."

Later, a monk from Youfang came here, and when he went to Yang's family, he said to him that if he could build a temple on the top of Qingyuan Mountain, he would be able to prosper.

That Yang Dashan people spent a lot of money to build this Qingyuan Temple without saying a word, and the main hall inside is to send the son Guanyin.

Coincidentally, as soon as the Qingyuan Temple was completed, the concubine of the Yang family was pregnant, and when the statue of Guanyin was repaired, the lady of the Yang family was also pregnant, so the Qingyuan Temple's Guanyin was famous for its most effective. ”

Qian Yan smacked her lips in surprise, she didn't expect this temple to have this legendary story.

"Then how is the Yang family now?" Since he was once the richest man, he is definitely not now.

Wang Qingyue: "The Yang family has moved away more than ten years ago, and it is said that his son became an official after taking the meritorious examination, so the family moved to the capital, and the family business here was sold.

It seems that the Yang family was originally from the capital, and I don't know which dynasty was exiled after committing a crime, and then it took root in it, but the clan is still in the capital, so it can be regarded as returning to the ancestral hometown. ”

Qian Yan nodded so it sees, it seems that it is also a family with a background, otherwise it would be so easy to become the richest man in a city, and it is not so easy to start from scratch.

I just don't know if this Qingyuan Temple and the heir of the Yang family are coincidental or really related, if this Guanyin is really so effective, then is there really a god in this time and space?

By this time, they had already reached the last row, which was the place of the fasting room.

Qian Yan looked at the row of side houses not far away, all of them were made of blue bricks and tiles, which were not worse than the houses in the city, and it seemed that the Yang family did not spend less money back then.

Not to mention the carved beams and paintings of several halls, even the wing rooms are repaired so well, which shows that this heart is sincere enough.

It's a high hilltop, and it's a big job just to get the materials up, not to mention the tall hall and the giant Buddha statues.

"You're tired of shopping, aren't you? Come in and rest. ”

Xue Huan'er heard the movement and came out from inside, and personally opened the courtyard door to let them in.

"Fifth brother, you're here too! Did the third aunt come over too? I'm going to pay a visit. ”

When they entered, Xue Huan'er saw Li Hanyun following behind, and hurriedly greeted him.

Li Hanyun shook his head, "No, I'm the only one who came over with the little girl, and my mother said that she was tired of coming to this temple fair every year, so she wouldn't come to join in the fun."

I happened to meet Mu Xue when I was watching juggling at the temple fair just now, and I knew that you had booked a fasting room here, so I came over cheekily. ”

Xue Huan'er smiled and said, "What do you say about being cheeky, it's all a family, don't be so foreign, come in quickly." ”

When the group entered the small hall, Mrs. Wang also stood up.

Xue Huan'er introduced them: "This is Lord Wang's wife, you can just call Uncle Wang."

This is the eldest son of my third uncle's family, who is the fifth in this generation, and is called Li Hanyun at the age of thirteen this year. ”

"Hello Uncle Wang." Li Hanyun saluted Mrs. Wang.

"Okay, good, the fifth son is really young and promising." Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and praised it.

She didn't expect to see a foreign man, although it was only a half-sized child, it was somewhat cramped.

There is no rejection, almost all of the Qinzhou Mansion knows that the Li family's family style is very good, and now they are really polite and courteous.

She looked at Li Hanyun, then at her daughter, and sighed in her heart, it would be nice if she was two years older, the same age, three years younger than her daughter. It's a little mismatched.

She hopes that her daughter will find a good mother-in-law, not to mention anything else, as far as the Li family's family style is concerned, it is very good.

Although there is no family rule that only thirty childless concubines can be taken into custody, the Li family, especially the second and third generations, basically did not take concubines.

In addition to the garrison General Li has two concubines, the backyards of the sons and grandsons below are very clean, as for whether there are rooms or not, they outsiders are not clear.

Even if there is, it doesn't matter, it's a subordinate, and it's not the main room that can be disposed of as much as you want, unlike the concubines, especially good concubines, who are mostly sent by subordinates or local petty officials, and they are all daughters of good families who can't be disposed of casually, that's really troublesome.

Just like in their house, Wang Tong sentenced a lot of concubines, several of which were his daughters or sisters, although they were all concubines, they were also official women, and they were good concubines when they entered the door.

The lowly ones he brought back from outside can be disposed of at will, but that kind of people don't have the courage to cause trouble, they are generally honest, and they can't be killed at will.

There is also a man like Aunt Chen, who has a bad background but can be liked by the master, and she can't move easily, at least she can't kill or sell at will, so she will offend her own man, at that time, her children will inevitably be angry, and she doesn't dare to move for the sake of her children.

And falling into a cruel reputation will also affect his daughter's future marriage, which cannot be willful after having children.

In addition, Mrs. Wang is indeed not that kind of person, and she can't do that kind of thing, so she wants to find a mother-in-law for her daughter who is not bad, at least a man can't be as greedy and lustful as her father.

As long as the man's character is good and he can withstand the temptation outside, with his daughter's means, she doesn't worry about anything else, this is the only thing she can do for her daughter as a mother.

The rest of the people don't know about this one, Mrs. Wang thinks so much, if she knows, Qian Yan will definitely come to say, it's okay, female junior, hug the gold bricks.

When she was at home, she heard her mother say this, and many couples near their home were older than men, and most of them were three years older, probably because of this sentence.

Not long after they sat down, there was a knock on the door, and the maid went to open the door, and when they came in again, a little monk came in with a food box, and came to deliver food.

The maids helped to put the meals on the table of the eight immortals in the small hall one by one, and a group of six of them happened to sit down, and the table was not small enough to seat two people, which was more than enough.

There are only five vegetarian dishes delivered, but the amount is quite a lot, and there are five people before them, and there is no problem with adding one Li Hanyun now.

Sitting at the table, Li Hanyun asked Li Chengyi, "Sister-in-law, why don't you see Cheng Yi's nephew come to the temple fair together, don't let him blindly read dead books, otherwise this person will be stupid, it's better to walk around, isn't there a saying that it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and it's good to have a long insight." ”

Xue Huan'er sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't, the problem is that the kid didn't listen, I also wanted him to come out and hang out with us, but he said that this temple fair is held every year, and he has been here a few times, and it is not interesting at all, it is better to follow his father to the barracks to see those uncles." ”

Li Hanyun's eyes widened and said, "Big brother took Cheng Yi to the barracks?" Heck, if only I knew I was going with me.

In fact, I'm tired of coming to this temple fair, it's all these every year, and this year's juggling is a little new, I heard that it came from other places this year.

As a result, guess what, when I was watching juggling there just now, the money bag was stolen, and if it wasn't for the Yang family's sister who helped me catch the thief, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find it back.

It doesn't matter if you lose the money bag, it's just a few taels of silver in it, mainly because it has my jade pendant inside.

I don't know what's wrong today, the rope on which the jade pendant was hung suddenly broke, and I put it in the money bag.

If I lose it, my mother will definitely scold me, but it was a birthday gift from my grandfather, which was to get a talisman in the White Horse Temple, and I heard that it was offered in the temple for 7749 days. ”

When Xue Huan'er and Mrs. Wang heard this, they hurriedly asked Qian Yan if they had lost anything, Li Muxue was fine, Qian Yan and Wang Qingyue were the age to be married, and it would be very troublesome if they lost their personal belongings.

The two shook their heads and said, "I didn't bring a money bag, a little bit of silver and copper plates were wrapped in a handkerchief and put in my arms." ”

said that she took money from her arms, but in fact, she asked Chougou to give it to her from the space, and she didn't bring any money with her.

In the past, she would make a show, hang a purse on her body, put some copper plates in it, and this time she also knew that there must be a lot of people crowded when she came to visit the temple fair, although she had a lot of money, but her own things, even if she lost a penny, she felt uncomfortable, why bother, since she could prevent it, why do you have to take advantage of others.

Wang Qingyue didn't bring it at all, and asked the maid to pay for everything.

The maid is also experienced, and she has always grabbed the money in her hands for fear of losing it, so there is no loss of money.

Li Muxue is the same, she is young, and the money is also in the hands of the maid.

After a few people sat down at the table to eat, they didn't talk anymore, and they didn't let the maid wait beside them during the meal, and let them go to the front dining hall to eat.

There's more food served there, and you can eat it when you go, and you only have to pay two pennies.

This is considered the benefit given to pilgrims in the temple, although it is just vegetarian vegetables and multigrain cakes and steamed buns, it is almost the same as giving it for nothing.
