The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

The more she gets along with Zheng Ping, the more Yun Yanhui feels that Zheng Ping is a very good woman, not omnipotent, but very cute.

——It's a pity to become a mother.

Zheng Ping is very caring for her son and her adopted son and daughter. She not only has superb Kesi and embroidery skills, but also has a passion for life, and is willing to do things that make people happy within her ability.

When her life became stable after she came back, Zheng Ping took some time. In addition to taking Yunyan Hui’s calligraphy and silk tapestry, she also made Shuangyi’s tapestry embroidery a circle of lace, stretched it with a bamboo frame, and hung it in the bedroom. on the wall.

She doesn't sell her good skills outside, but she is willing to use them at home. This kind of decoration also reminds Yunyan of the photo walls made by modern people.

As for Shuangyi, as a child, she gradually got used to the life here and forgot her previous anxiety.

Shuang Yi and Hu Sanniang's daughter Liu Ye have become good sisters. Liu Ye's father runs a shop on the street, so apart from learning embroidery with Hu Sanniang, Liu Ye also hangs out in her father's shop in his spare time. .

This made Shuang Yi very envious, she basically couldn't go out, even if she was around the yard, Zheng Ping would open the door to ensure that she was within his sight range.

In fact, Zheng Ping didn't forbid Shuangyi to go out to play, but she was just worried about Shuangyi's safety. Shuangyi was younger than Liuye, and she didn't grow up here.If there is no one to follow, it's fine to be around, the Kaifeng government office is next door, and there are still some old neighbors, but what should I do if I run away?

Shuang Yi was not born by Zheng Ping, but raised by Zheng Ping!

Zheng Ping was washing clothes, and Shuangyi squatted at the door to talk to Liu Ye after she finished practicing her acupuncture.

Liu Ye is at the gate of the courtyard. She is going to deliver food to her father, so she can take the opportunity to play in the street for a while. Now she is telling Shuang Yi that she is going to focus on the stalls selling straw weaves that she didn't finish visiting a few days ago.

Shuang Yi was envious to death, and waved goodbye to Liu Ye.

When she looked back, Brother Yan was reciting a book quietly on the bed.

Zheng Ping sent Yunyan back to Kaimeng and asked him to read Qianbaisan, and it didn't take long for Yunyan to "learn" it, and what she is striving for now is to memorize it.But maybe it was because she walked too much before crossing, Yunyan Hui never sits when she can lie down, and never stands when she can sit.

Shuangyi looked over at a glance, brother Yan was lying on the bed, and Xiaobao was sitting beside him.Brother Yan's hand was still stretched out in front of Xiaobao, and Xiaobao grabbed his fingers and played with them. After having fun, he even gnawed his fingers until they were wet.Sometimes Xiaobao wanted to crawl under the bed, but Brother Yan stopped Xiaobao back with his feet without moving his head.

Shuangyi walked over, freed Brother Yan's hand from Xiaobao's mouth, wiped it clean, and said to him: "Brother Yan, do you know that there is a stall on the way Liuye goes to his father's shop, They sell straw woven birds, rabbits, and bugs..."

That is to say, in the Song Dynasty, people could still set up street stalls.

Yunyan replied, "Ask your mother to take you there."

Shuangyi glanced at Zheng Ping who was drying clothes outside the yard, and whispered, "No more. Mother is very busy."

Shuang Yi has already regarded Zheng Ping as her own mother, but she is just out of character, so she is too embarrassed to bother others.

Yun Yan recalled that he hadn’t experienced it for a long time, but he could understand the child’s nature. He got up from the bed and picked up a few pieces of white scraps in Zheng Ping’s sewing basket. These were Zheng Ping’s plans to make pants for him. of.

Shuangyi was stunned, seeing Yunyan walking back to Zheng Ping, and said, "Mother, Shuangyi needs a doll."

In fact, he knows how to origami. There used to be a classmate whose elder was a kindergarten teacher. Several of his classmates helped to fold some goldfish, paper cranes, flowers, etc. according to the tutorial. how come.

So I settled for the next best thing and looked at the materials and toys at home. Girls should like dolls.

"Brother Yan!" Shuangyi shouted, blushing, and whispered, "I don't want a doll..."

Hey, straw toys are better than dolls, right?The price/performance ratio should not be high, as he remembered it would fall apart as soon as he played it... But if Shuangyi wants it...

Yunyan replied: "Oh, Shuangyi wants the little sparrow weaved by Liu Ye."

Shuangyi: "..."

Zheng Ping suddenly felt that she had been negligent. Even if Brother Yan and Shuangyi didn't mention it, she should remember to buy them new toys regularly. It's just that they were purchased together in Salesian Village before, and no one mentioned it when they came back. I didn't think of it for a while.It's rare that Brother Yan is more thoughtful than her, so he quickly wiped his hands and took the material, "I'll buy the straw weaving sparrow for all three of you next month, and mother will sew a doll for Shuangyi first."

"Thank you mother...thank you Brother Yan." Shuangyi couldn't refuse this temptation at all, but she still remembered that this was the fabric for making trousers for Brother Yan, and now she made a doll for her.

Seeing that Shuangyi couldn't hide her anticipation and walked around beside Zheng Ping to see her flying needles, Yunyan climbed onto the bed by stepping on the bed, and dragged Xiaobao to the inside of the bed.I thought to myself, oh, for the sake of little Lolita, so what if I run naked without wearing pants...

Zheng Ping sewed a rag doll for Shuangyi, which was filled with licorice, making the doll chubby, with all the facial features painted on.

Shuang Yi likes it very much, it seems that she can hug it at night when she sleeps, and when Liu Ye came back, she specially took it for her to admire.

Seeing Shuangyi like this, Zheng Ping also became thoughtful. She has been receiving jobs in Xiuxiang steadily now, and there is only one parent in the family, let alone the lives of the children.

So, after a few days, Zheng Ping told Yun Yanhui and Shuang Yi that in a few days it would be the eighth day of April, the Buddha Bathing Festival, and on this day there would be fasting parties in various temples and monasteries, and she would go to Xiu Lane to deliver goods. By the way, take Yunyan back and Shuangyi to the nearby Daxiangguo Temple.

As for Xiaobao, I have to ask Hu Sanniang's family to take care of her.

When Shuangyi heard what kind of festival it was, she just thought that it must be very lively.Although Yun Yanhui didn't know much about the Buddha Bathing Festival, the famous business should be a festival in the Buddhist circle.He also knows Daxiangguo Temple. He spent tens of yuan for the entrance fee when traveling in Kaifeng. This place is amazing.

In "Water Margin", this is where Lu Zhishen pulls out the weeping willows, and where Di Qing took refuge. There are endless stories to tell. Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi, Fan Zhongyan, Wu Daozi... there are countless celebrities and scholars who have come and gone here.

Today, Daxiangguo Temple has been an ancient temple for hundreds of years, and it is also the largest temple in Bianliang, which is highly respected by the royal family.

It is said that ancient temples are hidden in the deep mountains, but Daxiangguo Temple is different. It is located in the center of Bianliang.

Xiao Shuangyi thinks that the street market that Liu Ye passed by on her way to her father's place is the most prosperous place in Tokyo?wrong!The most prosperous place in the capital of this era is Daxiangguo Temple!

Not to mention big and small festivals, Daxiangguo Temple has five super-large temple fairs every month that can be traded by all surnames.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism was advocated. Temple fairs were originally held by believers to hold various Buddhist activities. Because vendors gathered to provide goods for a large number of believers, ordinary people gradually came to participate, thus forming today's temple fairs, which include official and private ones.

The temple fair of Daxiangguo Temple is the best among all kinds of temple fairs in Bianliang, integrating shopping, leisure, entertainment, meditation and many other functions. That area can be called the largest commercial complex in Bianliang.

If you have read some classical novels and legends, you will know that there are many stories that happened at the temple fair of Daxiangguo Temple.

Today's Daxiangguo Temple is definitely different from what Yun Yanhui saw a thousand years later. In history, Daxiangguo Temple has been rebuilt and expanded many times.Because it was too big, Yunyan rushed back to other scenic spots, but didn't stay there for too long.

Now that I have the opportunity to go see it again, Yunyan is still looking forward to it. He visited the places he visited thousands of years later in the Northern Song Dynasty. How amazing.

Yunyan had been to Daxiangguo Temple at least before she went back to the time travel, but Shuangyi hadn't been there at all, so Zheng Ping told her about the grand occasion when the temple fair was held in Daxiangguo Temple while she was taping silk.

Compared with the grand temple fair of Daxiangguo Temple, Yun Yanhui was more curious about the monks in the temple.In the past, I read information that the monks in the Tang and Song Dynasties were relatively secular, and there were even some who became rich through business, and even opened brothels.I don't know what's going on in the royal temple, Daxiangguo Temple.
