Chapter 23: The Sister-in-law and the Daughter-in-law 2
Yangzhou City, there are four long streets from north to south, these four streets run through the whole city, two water, two roads, and are in the west of the city.
[Liu Agarwood Inn] is located in the east and west of Beipi Street, not far from the Salt Transport Embassy and Wenchang Pavilion.
In these two places, one is rich and wealthy, and the other is a nearby college.
This has also created a lot of inns and restaurants nearby, and it is very prosperous.
The world-famous [Mingyue Tower] is near here, the specific location is next door to the Salt Transport Embassy, the officials got off work, and crossed a Taiping Bridge.
Chen Xiang took the Sun family sisters, no, it should be said that the Sun family sisters took Chen Xiang to the other next door of [Mingyue Tower], Wenchang Pavilion.
The reason why the three of them came out was naturally Lao Sun and Lao Liu, for what reason, can Chen Laogou still not know?
The process of blind date in his previous life, he didn't miss it!
In fact, Chen Xiang didn't want to come out, because he was still waiting for the test of the lame beggar.
But after thinking about it, if the lame beggar really wants to test him, wouldn't it be more able to create an opportunity for the lame beggar to test when he goes out shopping?
With that in mind, he came out.
Wenchang Pavilion is in the northwest of Yangzhou City, pass by Wenchang Pavilion and then go west, go out of the city from the West Gate, not far from the city is the Slender West Lake.
At this time, the Slender West Lake is not called the Slender West Lake, but called the Guarantee Lake, and Wang Xin of the Qing Dynasty did [weeping poplars continue to pick up the remnants, and the wild goose teeth Hongqiao is like a drawing. It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake.
That's why it gave rise to the name of Slender West Lake.
In September, on the embankment of the protection lake, rows of green willow silk strips hang down, emerald green as blue, gently rippling in the breeze, reflected in the clear blue and long sky of the lake water, beautiful as a picture.
Chen Xiang and the two sisters of the Sun family walked on the embankment, under the green willows, with handsome appearance and picturesque scenery, like the golden boy and jade goddess.
If it weren't for the Sun family's guards following behind him, Chen Xiang really wouldn't dare to go so far with the two of them.
"Sister-in-law, I've been here for so long, and I haven't visited Yangzhou yet, have you?" Sun Qiao's skin was as creamy as snow, wearing a bright green dress, and her hair was tied with a silver ribbon on the back of her head.
There was a hint of coldness on her face, like a fairy in the Moon Palace, unstained with fireworks in the world.
The best iceberg goddess juvenile is nothing more than that.
"That's true, since Huashan came to Yangzhou, I have almost stayed at home in the past two months, but fortunately, now that food and clothing are guaranteed, I have time to relax," Chen Xiang nodded and said.
"My sister-in-law is beautiful and smart, and she is just a moment of bad luck, and if she succeeds in learning in the future, she will be able to stay in history as she shines, and she will not let the sages specialize in beauty."
"My sister praised it falsely"
"This is not what I said, this is what my father and mother said, I just paraphrased it, in my opinion, sister-in-law, you deserve it."
"Where, my sister is a natural country, and she is beautiful and wise, and her future husband must also be a young hero, a dragon and a phoenix among people"
"Hey, if I can have a sister-in-law, I'm also satisfied."
Whenever Sun Qiao spoke, his eyes always looked at Chen Xiang inadvertently, his cold face seemed to hide a volcano in his eyes.
Chen Laogou saw it, but he could only pretend not to see it.
And Sun Qian, who was walking on Chen Xiang's left, watched her sister chatting with her future husband, with a sweet smile on her cute and loving little round face that couldn't be hidden.
ay
Chen Laogou sighed secretly, if it weren't for the fact that he was destined to cultivate immortals and seek immortality in this life.
How nice would that be...
One is cold, the other is cute, how nice!
The three of them walked along the embankment, and then to the north is the [Daming Temple], Daming Temple was built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties Song Xiaowu Emperor Daming period, hence the name.
Over the past few hundred years, the name of the temple has changed a lot, such as the Sui Dynasty called "Qiling Temple", "West Temple", the end of the Tang Dynasty called "Pingping Temple" and so on.
The first ancestor of the Japanese Ritsu Sect, also known as the "Master of the Sea" and the "Great Monk of the Tang Dynasty", was the presiding officer of the Daming Temple.
At this time, the Daimyo Temple is known as the first temple in Huainan, the incense is prosperous, and there are many good believers.
Coming out of the West City Gate, passing through the embankment of Baohu Lake, all the way to Daming Temple, the crowd is endless.
The three of them chatted while walking, and saw a bunch of people gathered on the side of the road in front of them, and a woman in the crowd who was in good shape for a couple of years, with artemisia grass on her head, and a woman dressed in white and wearing filial piety was kneeling on the side of the road.
In front of the woman lay the corpse of a man with gray hair, with tears on her face, and she wept:
"The slave family He Huiniang, a native of Hangzhou, wanted to go to Bianjing with his father to join relatives, but he didn't want to pass by here and his father occasionally felt cold, so he couldn't afford to get sick and died.
The slave family is alone and exhausted, and there is no parents and brothers to help, I can't bear to abandon the old father in the wilderness, and now sell himself to bury his father, if there are well-wishers, do not think the slave family is vulgar, willing to pay ten taels of silver, and the slave family is a slave for the sake of the slave, and is willing to serve"
In the crowd, looking at the woman's pitiful appearance, Sun Qian quietly tugged Chen Xiang's sleeve and whispered:
"Agarwood, otherwise, you can help her, she looks so pitiful"
Looking at Sun Qian's little round face and the little expression of big eyes blinking, Chen Xiang waved his hand and said with pride:
"Help, I must help, even if it is difficult, since the lady said it, then I will definitely help"
Seeing Chen Xiang, who was three years younger than herself, calling herself a lady, and looking like an adult, Sun Qian lowered her head slightly, and was ashamed to look at him.
However, the corners of his mouth were still slightly upturned, and he couldn't help but look sweet in his heart.
In fact, even if Sun Qian didn't say it, Chen Xiang would help, how could he give up the merit of sending it to the door?
At that moment, he stepped out of the crowd, took out two silver tickets of five taels of silver from the crow blue brocade clothes, and handed a total of ten taels to He Huiniang, who was kneeling on the side of the road.
Chen Xiang, who came out of the crowd, instantly attracted the attention of the crowd, ten taels of silver, many poor families in this crowd may not have so many savings.
But now, a five- or six-year-old child took it out at random, as if it was not ten taels of silver, but ten cents.
How unjust is God!
At this moment, Chen Xiang, who was in the audience, didn't know, he only knew that He Huiniang looked at him pitifully, but he didn't accept the money, but spoke again:
"The little boy is kind, and the slave family is grateful, but the slave family is single and weak, and I don't know if the son can help move the old father to the mountain behind the Daming Temple, and my father told me before his death that he must be buried there after his death."
"Little Things"
Listening to He Huiniang's words, Chen Xiang waved his hand, and two Sun family guards wearing green clothes and narrow sleeves walked out of the crowd.
Chen Xiang said to the two: "Bother the two of you to carry the body of this old man to the mountain behind Daming Temple, and after I go back, I will reward the two of my father-in-law, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”
These two followed Sun Yuanqing to the north and south, and they were used to seeing life and death, and they didn't care about carrying a dead person or anything.
"But according to Liu Gongzi's orders, it is"
As he spoke, the two strong men in green clothes stepped forward and lifted up the old man lying on the ground.
The appearance of two strong men extinguished some thoughts of some people in the crowd.
"In this way, I am tired of the little boy" He Huiniang saw that her father was lifted up, and saluted Chen Xiang again.
"No need to do this, please let my sister lead the way"
