After time travel, I became a talented lady
Chapter 75 Temple Fair (1)
Cui'er reported in a low voice at the door: Second Master, Madam, Crown Prince Song and the others have arrived.
Cheng Deqing took the peach-faced Liu Yuniang off the dressing table, straightened her messy clothes, tapped her plump lips with her finger, and said, "Let's go."
Liu Yunniang looked at him limping and asked doubtfully, "Did he commit a thief last night? Why is his foot sprained? Have you called the doctor to take a look?"
After saying that, he squatted down and lifted up his robe. He saw that his ankle was red and swollen, but it was not too serious, so he felt relieved.
Cheng Deqing smiled and said, "It's okay. It was dark and the road was slippery. I accidentally twisted it. It's much better now."
Cui'er waited outside the room. There was no movement for a long time. She was hesitating whether to say it again. The door creaked open, and the second master came out with his wife in his arms.
Breakfast was served in the middle hall, and it was also a vegetarian meal. Everyone lived in the same Zen courtyard, so they agreed to have dinner together.
The girl has already laid out the food. They all know each other well and don't pay too much attention to it. They just sit down casually.
Luohanzhai in Xiangguo Temple is very famous. It uses flower mushrooms, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, straw mushrooms, nostoc, ginkgo biloba, vegetarian chicken, vegetarian sausage, potatoes, carrots, Sichuan bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots, bamboo shoot tips, oil gluten, Made from ingredients including black fungus, daylily, and diced radish, it symbolizes devotion to the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism.
The staple food is japonica rice porridge, steamed stuffed buns with vegetarian fillings, fried noodles, and pickled cucumbers as a side dish. Pickled radish.
Liu Yunniang took a few bites. Although the taste was bland, it was very refreshing. It was a good meal to relieve tiredness and promote fluid production. It was very good.
Cheng Deqing, Song Qi, and Liu Yan took care of the women while eating, leaving Zhang Xiulin alone.
Liu Yan smiled and said, "It's really strange. The famous man in Qiantang is alone. Do you really have no confidante?"
Zhang Xiulin glanced at Lin Wanwan vaguely, and said cheerfully and generously, "You all have a beautiful wife like a flower, and I also want to find the one I love."
After hearing this, Song Qi put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "I wonder what kind of girl Brother Zhang likes? My distant uncle is currently a professor at the Imperial College. He has a rich family and only one daughter. Brother is a worthy match."
Zhang Xiulin hesitated and couldn't refuse, "If you don't think I'm crude, maybe you can give it a try." The two men made up their minds.
Liu Yunniang, Lady Liu, and Lin Wanwan are a little embarrassed. Aren't all marriages arranged by women? Well, they sit upright, elegant and dignified, and don't say anything when they eat or sleep~
Cheng Deqing and Liu Yan looked at each other, Liu Yan was particularly enthusiastic, "This Luohan Zhai is indeed worthy of its name. Everyone should try it."
Everyone finished their meal with a lot of thoughts, then packed up their things and headed back home.
It was a hot summer day, and all the wealthy officials and wealthy families in the capital went to the mountains to escape the heat. Too many people rushed up the mountain while it was cool, and it happened to be the day of the temple fair. The carriage was almost at the bottom of the mountain, and it was blocked on the road and could not move.
The maid found a sheltered place, moved teapots, tables and chairs, and waited for the ladies to get out of the car and rest.
Liu Yunniang drank a cup of herbal tea. The sun was getting higher and the weather was getting hot. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and her face turned red. Cui'er shook her fan and muttered, "It's so hot today. It's so hot in the capital." Yeah." He then looked at the crowds of people attending the temple fair down the mountain and said, "It's really lively down there. Madam, look, there are also jugglers."
Ruping also stretched her neck to look down the mountain, but no, it seemed that there was a sacrifice to the gods below. A string of floats were loaded with Buddha statues, with the lions to ward off evil as the forerunners, and the flags and banners followed, with music, various plays, and various acrobatics, which was lively. extraordinary.
Liu Yunniang and Liu Niangzi were both from a small place in Qiantang County. It was the first time they saw so many Buddha statues, and they were afraid that all the Buddha statues in Shangjing City had been moved here.
"Ms. sir, you see there are so many people and the carriage can't move for a while. Please take me to visit the temple fair first." Liu Yunniang pulled Cheng Deqing's sleeves coquettishly.
Madam Liu was also moved but didn't say anything. She just looked at Liu Yan affectionately.
How could the husband-in-law not want to comply with their wishes when they looked at her with such expectant and worshipful eyes?
Everyone separated for a few waves and wandered around casually. Cheng Deqing carried Liu Yunniang down the mountain and blended into the crowd.
There were many ordinary people selling things at street stalls. There was an old woman with a tired face and wrinkles on her face, with a child tied to her back, selling melons at a stall. When she saw Liu Yun's mother, Cheng Deqing, who was well-dressed, she hurriedly greeted her in broken Mandarin, "My lord, take a look. , the watermelon in Bingzhou’s sandy land is so sweet~”
Liu Yunniang happened to be thirsty due to the heat. Cheng Deqing nodded, and Er Shunzi came forward to ask for the price, "Master, regardless of size, it's five cents of silver each. This is fresh product grown in the shed." After saying this, he rubbed his hands awkwardly. Rubbing his hands, the skin on them was chapped, the joints were swollen, and the straw sandals under his feet were torn.
When Liu Yuniang saw that the child behind her was also skinny, she couldn't bear it and ordered Cui'er to buy them all.
The old woman burst into tears of gratitude, bowed and bowed repeatedly, and said directly that the fairy came to earth and was blessed by the Bodhisattva.
Liu Yunniang felt even more sad. No matter what dynasty, the working people were always the most miserable. They faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky, and had to bear the ravages of taxes, labor, and even war.
Seeing her kindness, Cheng Deqing patted Liu Yunniang's shoulder comfortingly. Er Shunzi gave her two more cents and took away the melon basket.
After walking a few steps, Liu Yuniang looked back again. Through the curtain, she saw the old woman holding her child, shakily walking to the steamed bun stall and buying a few meat buns. The child was devouring the meat buns, as if Like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Cui'er Ruping also felt sad when she saw it. They had grown up with girls in a wealthy family, never had they seen eating steamed buns like this.
Cheng Deqing touched Liu Yunniang's head and whispered, "Let's go." Although he was born into a wealthy family, he had seen poor people through business, but he never expected that under the emperor's feet, outside the imperial city, there were still people who were not fully clothed and had no food to eat.
Along the extension of the temple fair, there were stalls selling vegetables, fruits, farm tools, and places selling children and girls. When an unkempt man saw Liu Yunniang and others in gorgeous clothes, he pounced on them, kowtowed and begged. As a slave, Er Shunzi kicked him away before walking away.
Liu Yunniang felt a little heavy. Cheng Mansion used to buy slaves and send them to the door. The girls and servants were all smart people who had been neatly handled and easily trained.
After walking for a while, we arrived at the mountain gate of Xiangguo Temple.
Under the curved stone sculpture in front of the mountain gate of Xiangguo Temple, there is a relief sculpture of a stone monkey. People believe that touching the stone monkey can cure diseases and eliminate disasters and prolong life, so they compete to touch it, and the stone monkey is shiny after being touched.
There is a big copper coin hanging in the bridge hole under the Wofeng Bridge. There is a small copper bell in the copper coin hole, with the four words "bell rings for good fortune" written on it. If you can put the copper coin in your hand into the copper bell, your wishes will come true. , well-dressed people lined up to vote.
There are also lion dances, martial arts, acrobatics, fireworks shows, and puppet shows, which are all exciting.
On one side, the common people in ragged clothes were hawking local products along the street, and on the other side, the dignitaries, rich and gentry were spending money like water and applauding. At this temple fair that combined urban and rural areas, Liu Yunniang faced the people at the lowest level for the first time since she time traveled.
Fortunately, she was the daughter of a wealthy family and the wife of a wealthy family.
Cheng Deqing looked at her, took her into his arms, and comforted her silently. He was such a beautiful and kind-hearted baby. He secretly made up his mind that one day, he would make the people live and work in peace and contentment and afford meat buns.
The group continued to visit the temple fair, and their mood was no longer as cheerful as when they first came down the mountain.
The sun was already very high and the carriage was still blocked. Liu Yunniang was unwilling to leave and sat in a teahouse to drink tea.
Cui'er brought the usual cups and teapot over, asked the store for water and a stove, and started making tea herself.
Look, this is the style of a wealthy family. Liu Yuniang deeply despised herself, but she was told to use tea sets that others had used. At this time, there were no sterilization tools, and she was indeed flustered.
The thatched roof blocked the sun and actually brought a bit of cool breeze, which finally made people breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, several horses galloped over in the distance. The two leaders were wearing red riding clothes, with long hair flowing, very cool!
If she hadn't kicked away people's cargo loads, bumped into people's stalls, and caused a lot of complaints, she would have looked like a chivalrous woman in ancient times.
Liu Yunniang glared angrily, the emperor's feet were so rampant, it was beyond the king's control! Cheng Deqing also looked heavy.
When the person came closer, he took a closer look and saw that it was Miss Yan!
