Although the Ji surname in the village is only Ji Chunshan and his family, and there are no other relatives, there are still a few families who have made good friends. So after the second year of junior high school, Ji Chunshan took Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu to start walking. Get up and go to the house to visit the New Year.

The ones in the village went to the house of the village head Feng Deli, Dr. Hu, Zhao, and Wang Liehu. The other families didn't have any friendship, so they just let it go.

There are more in the town, needless to say Zhou Jing's family, the old shopkeeper of Zuixianju will also visit, the well-cooperative shopkeeper Li gave Ji Chunshan a new year gift a few years ago, and Ji Chunshan naturally wants to return the gift, besides , Yu Ba's family and the others also went to visit Mrs. Yu.

I don't want the old lady to remember Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan, the son and daughter-in-law. Seeing Ji Ningxu calling her a "grandson and grandson" and not letting go, Ji Chunshan, who originally planned to just sit and leave, had to After leaving the meal, the old lady took a nap after the meal, and was finally able to leave Yu's house.During the period, he found that the woman named Taohua disappeared, and instead there was a woman named Yao Niang. After asking Yu Ba, he found out that the woman was just hired by him to take care of the old lady, and he had already resigned.

Afterwards, Ji Chunshan took Ye Qinglan to visit the shopkeeper Song of the book shop. He also gave Ji's family a New Year's gift a few years ago. Finally, the two went to a painting shop and delivered five Avalokitesvara pictures that they had painted a few years ago. .

After turning around, those who should visit and those who should give gifts should give gifts, and it will be the tenth day of the first lunar month.Resting at home for a few days, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Ji Chunshan packed up the three people's bedding and some personal belongings, put them in two large boxes, put them in a carriage, and carried Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu on their way to Drive to the county seat.

Every year on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, there will be a lantern festival in the county, and this day is Ji Ningxu's birthday, so Ji Chunshan plans to take Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu to have fun, and give Ji Ningxu a different birthday by the way.

As soon as he entered the county, Ji Chunshan found that there were many people on the street, and it was more lively than years ago. Lanterns were hung in front of almost every house, and layers of bamboo racks had been set up in front of some businesses. There are all kinds of large and small lanterns with bright colors, changeable styles, exquisite and unique.

It was the first time for Ji Chunshan and Ji Ningxu to see this kind of scene. They were dazzled and dazzled when they saw it, and their faces were full of surprise and fun.

Ye Qinglan was in a daze. When he was young, he would come to the county town to visit the lantern festival with his parents every year, but since his father passed away, he fell in love with the scene and never came again. It has been nearly ten years now, and everything in front of him and in his memory seems to be gone. There is no difference, but it has already changed.

Ye Qinglan was strangely silent. Ji Chunshan didn't ignore it. He turned his head to look, and saw that Ye Qinglan's expression was a little bit wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Qinglan came back to his senses, looked at Ji Chunshan with concern and concern, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, and smiled with relief, "It's nothing."

Ji Chunshan looked into Ye Qinglan's eyes, and after confirming that he was really fine, he was relieved.

Soon Ji Chunshan drove the carriage to Xie Yuan's house. It was almost noon at this time, so Aunt Wu left them for dinner. After noon, under the guidance of Xie Yuan, they went to a place that Xie Yuan had asked Xie Yuan to rent for help. small yard.

There are a lot of things to do in the county this time, and I'm afraid it won't be done in a day or two.Ji Chunshan once inquired with Xie Yuan that if he stayed in an inn, he would probably spend a lot of money. Although he still had some money, he needed to save some money. If it was cheap, he didn't want to wrong Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu, so he went Under Xie Yuan's suggestion, he decided to rent a small yard for a short term.

The small courtyard is not big, there are only two main rooms, and there is also a small kitchen. Even if it is connected to the courtyard, it is not as big as the front yard of Ji's old house. It's a student, so although the rent is more than the average yard, it is just right for Ji Chunshan to live for a short time. Although it is not as exquisite as the upper room of the inn, it is also very clean and tidy, just in line with Ji Chunshan's thoughts.

When they arrived at the place, Xie Yuan helped to carry the two boxes into the house. The gate of the small courtyard was narrow, and it was impossible for a carriage to enter directly. He had to untie the horse first, lead the horse in, and then put it in the shed. Ji Chunshan and Xie Yuan and the two stood up the cart and finally got it into the yard.

After that, Xie Yuan wanted to help clean up, but Ji Chunshan was too embarrassed to bother him with such trivial matters. After telling Ji Chunshan the location of the market, Xie Yuan left.

After Xie Yuan left, Ji Chunshan cleaned the bedroom and main room of the main house first, and then let Ye Qinglan go in to pack the bedding and personal belongings he brought, while he himself went to the kitchen and cleaned up the food items he brought. Put them away one by one.

Because Ji Chunshan had prepared a lot of arrangements for tomorrow, dinner was eaten earlier than usual, and the family rested early.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ji Chunshan was the first to wake up. After getting up, instead of calling Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu, he went to the kitchen to get busy. When Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu fell asleep, Ji Ningxu Chun Shan has already made breakfast.

Since today is Ji Ningxu's birthday, Ji Chunshan specially cooked red eggs for the little birthday star according to the local custom, and made a bowl of longevity noodles.Before eating, Ye Qinglan took out the birthday gift he and Ji Chunshan had prepared for Ji Ningxu, a pure gold goat-shaped pendant.Such a down-to-earth thing was naturally proposed by Ji Chunshan. He also drew a very cute and small pattern that was different from the general pattern here, and sent it to the silver building to ask a goldsmith to type it out.

What Ji Chunshan didn't tell Ye Qinglan was that he actually beat a rabbit, but he didn't take it out until Ye Qinglan's birthday.

There is a mountain in the southern suburbs of Fangcheng County. It is named Meiling because plum blossoms are planted all over the mountain. There is a temple on the mountainside of Meiling, named Baiyun Temple. , is also well-known far and wide, not to be missed.

It's inconvenient to get in and out of the carriage, and if you go to Baiyun Temple, you have to walk a section of the mountain road, so you won't need anything at that time. The courtyard that Ji Chunshan and the others rented is just south of the county seat, very close to the south gate of the city, and Meiling is not far from the county seat. After a distance of two or three miles, the three simply walked out of the city.

As soon as you get out of the city, you can see a few miles away at the end of the wild and fertile fields, a mountain that seems to be shrouded in brocade clouds and rosy colors, stands quietly, and several buildings with golden roofs and white walls are scattered and built against the mountains. After the heavy rosy clouds, it is magnificent and solemn, like a fairy palace.

Walking slowly along the way, the three of them soon arrived at the foot of Meiling Mountain.Before entering the mountain pass, there was a large open space. On one side of the open space, a dozen strong young men gathered. Next to them were several sliding poles similar to those Ji Chunshan had seen when he went to Mount Emei. There are three tea shops connected to each other, and there are many tourists who are resting and drinking tea, and there are also a few stalls selling incense candles.

"Take a break, drink a cup of tea, and go up the mountain later?" Ji Chunshan said, although Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu didn't look tired, but going up the mountain is not like walking on the flat ground, so we should take a rest first to refresh our spirits good.

Although Ye Qinglan didn't feel tired, she was a little thirsty right now, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

Picking a tea shop with fewer people, the three of them went in and Xiao Er invited them to an empty table to sit down, and then served tea.

"The mountain road to Baiyun Temple is not short, you and Xu'er can sit on that one, it will be easier." Ji Chunshan pointed to the sliding pole on the open space opposite, and said to Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan shook her head and said with a smile: "No, there are stone benches or wooden chairs placed at intervals on the way up the mountain for people to sit and rest. Besides, it's still early, so it doesn't matter if we go up the mountain slowly. You can also enjoy a different view.”

"That's good." Ji Chunshan didn't know about this when he came to Meiling for the first time, but since there is a place to rest on the mountain road, it doesn't matter if he sits on a pole or not.

After sitting for a while, the tea was exhausted and it was almost time to rest. Ji Chunshan paid for the tea, and the three of them left the tea shop and started to go up the mountain.

I don’t know when the plum blossoms in Meiling have been around. I only know that it seems to have appeared earlier than Fangcheng County. All the way from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, I can see that the plum blossoms are growing more densely and luxuriantly, and they are colorful, colorful, and red. The pink is delicate, the white is elegant, and the rich floral fragrance floats around, refreshing.

Ye Qinglan was standing under a plum tree. He was dressed in moon-white clothes, with black hair and snow-skinned skin. His eyebrows were gentle and elegant, and the fine lines between his eyebrows, which looked like red plums, gave him a touch of beauty.A gust of wind blew over the branches, and red plums immediately poured down, flying and falling around Ye Qinglan, like a fairy in the forest.

Ji Chunshan's eyes were full of astonishment and indulging, and he couldn't bear to blink his eyes, as if he wanted to engrave this scene deeply in his mind.

When the three finally arrived at the halfway up the mountain where Baiyun Temple was located, it was already half an hour later.

The layout of Baiyun Temple is the same as that of other temples. After entering the mountain gate, there is a huge square. In the middle of the square is a large incense burner with a height of half a person. Many people are holding incense and prostrating. There is an incense table next to it. On the table, there are bundles of incense sticks, lighted candlesticks, and a wooden box with the word merit and virtue written on it.

When he was at the foot of the mountain, Ji Chunshan wanted to buy some incense candles, but Ye Qinglan told him that in Baiyun Temple, there were merit incenses for anyone to take for themselves, and they didn't charge money, just donate some incense money at will, no matter how much, so he didn't buy it.

At this time, Ji Chunshan went forward to take nine sticks of incense sticks, then threw a piece of silver into the merit box, lit it with a candle next to it, and gave it to Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu respectively.

After offering incense, the three of them wandered around the temple. This time, it was Ye Qinglan who guided them. After all, he had been here more than once, and even though it had been several years, Baiyun Temple was nothing like before. Variety.

When they came to the main hall of Baiyun Temple, the Daxiong Hall, they would naturally have to pay their respects, but the ten futons placed in front of the Buddha statue were all in use, so they stood outside the door and waited for a while.Not long after, a woman in plain clothes on the futon in the middle of the front row seemed to have finished her prayers. After prostrating three times in a row, she stood up with the support of a young woman beside her.

After kneeling for a long time, her legs would naturally become a little stiff. The woman stood there for a while before turning around and going out. When she reached the door, the three of Ye Qinglan who had been waiting for a long time walked into the main hall.One side went in, the other side went out, each subconsciously glanced at each other, but Ye Qinglan and the woman were stunned at the same time after seeing each other.

"Huh, who are you?" The woman suddenly saw Ye Qinglan and felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was for a while.

But Ye Qinglan recognized the woman in an instant, he nodded slightly, smiled and called to the woman: "Aunt Guo."

This woman is Ye Qinglan's most affectionate and respectful female elder except for her mother and eldest aunt. Her surname is Zhao, and she has no relationship with Ye Qinglan, but her husband is Ye Qinglan's father's classmate, and the most Good friend.

"You are, you are Brother Lan?!" Zhao Shi finally remembered at this time. No wonder she felt familiar but couldn't remember. At the age of 15, he was still a youthful young man, but now, he has grown up completely, with a husband-in-law and a child...

Mrs. Zhao's eyes could not help but move to Ji Chunshan and Ji Ningxu beside Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan never ignored Zhao's scrutinizing gaze, so she introduced to her with a smile: "Aunt Guo, this is Xu'er, my child, who is seven years old this year, and this is Ji Chunshan, who belongs to me, husband."

Although Ji Chunshan didn't know who the woman in front of him was, but since he was an old acquaintance of Ye Qinglan's, he also called her, "Aunt Guo."

Under Ye Qinglan's guidance, Ji Ningxu raised his head and called out "Hello, grandma."

"Hey, good, good boy." Mrs. Zhao was still a little unnatural to Ji Chunshan, but when she saw Ji Ningxu's cute and cute face, she immediately smiled, bent down, and touched Ji Ningxu's head .
