The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 894

[Chapter eight hundred and ninety fourth temple fair]

On the first day of the new year, after entering the palace to give New Year’s greetings to the empress, the Chu family and the Ling family would become one family and go to the suburbs of Beijing to visit temple fairs. Gu Ye followed her mother-in-law and experienced the whole process of an ancient temple fair.

The monks in the temple practice deeds and offer sacrifices to the gods and Buddhas. The believers hold life-sized gods and Buddhas and make puppets for a parade-style ceremony. The eldest princess took them into incense to worship Buddha and make wishes for blessings. Gu Ye pressed his arm against his husband: “What wish did you make?”

“Peace in the world!” Ling Juechen said coolly.

Gu Ye smiled and said: “I promised Guotai Min’an, haha…”

“Okay, you two don’t be poor. Didn’t Ye Er say that he wants to go to the temple fair? Let your husband take you to go shopping, be careful about your body. Don’t ask the thief to touch the valuables!” The eldest princess believed in Buddhism and went to listen to the host’s lecture. She knew that the young people would definitely not be able to sit still, so she wouldn’t torture them at all.

Gu Ye smiled and said: “There are four older brothers, and Brother Chen is here. If you let me be patronized by a thief, then this thief is definitely the king of stealing. Give him a big thumbs up.”

Jun glared at her. , smiled and said: “Be careful. Go!”

The crowd outside the temple was very lively. There are tens of thousands of believers who come from all over the world, plus people visiting temple fairs to watch the excitement, plus various street performances and hawkers doing business. The temple fairs of Kofuku-ji Temple are famous far and wide, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

At the temple fair, those who sell all kinds of snacks, those who sell shoes, hats and cloth, those who draw lots for fortune-telling, those who sell dog skin plasters, those who play tricks, those who sell handicrafts, those who perform shadow puppets… cover all kinds of businessmen, craftsmen, people from all corners of the country… …It’s hard not to be lively!

Chu Mushan kept rolling her eyes, and from time to time helped her sister behind to block the crowd. He really didn’t know what to do in a crowded place with shoulders rubbing shoulders. The food is not as delicious and exquisite as the family Yan Yan made; the clothes are all cheap fabrics that ordinary people like; the juggling is a deceptive thing at first sight, if my sister likes it, he can go back and show her… …Why, they want to join in the fun and squeeze for a while?

Gu Ye held her husband’s hand and wandered from stall to stall with great interest. She picked up a small wooden comb and showed it to her husband: “Brother Chen, this small comb is carved with a bunch of peaches, very delicate and cute.”

“Gu…” Before the word “girl” was spoken, the hawker looked up. When he arrived at her wife’s hairstyle, he hurriedly changed his words, “Madam, this comb is carved from peach wood, an ancestral craftsmanship, look at the workmanship. Also, peach wood wards off evil spirits. Even if you buy it back and don’t use it, put it on the dresser to protect You can sleep at ease!”

Gu Ye raised his eyes and glanced at War God’s husband, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. If you want to suppress evil, of course, you have to count the mascot around you. With the God of War on the side, no evil will invade!

Chu Mushan picked up the comb and looked at it, then put it down again: “Didn’t the red sandalwood and golden nanmu combs give you more than a dozen combs? If you lack this, my brother will go to Jinyu Mantang to buy it for you!

” Still a little unconvinced, as soon as he heard the words “Golden and Jade Mansion”, he stopped. Jinyumantang is the largest jewelry store in Beijing, and the combs in it are all high-end. The gadgets he manages from a small book are really incomparable to others. Looking at the three people in front of them, the clothes are all high-quality silk and satin, and the jewelry is not much but very expensive. It is reasonable for people to dislike the small combs they carved by themselves.

Gu Ye ignored him, looked at Ling Juechen eagerly, and did not speak. Ling Juechen knowingly took out the pieces of silver: “Buy it!”] The

hawker thought the business was in vain, but he didn’t expect to turn around. He hurriedly arrived: “Guest officer, this peach wood comb will charge you 30 cents, and I will give you a peach stone carving, which is tied with a red thread to bring to the child, which can ward off evil spirits.”

“Thank you!” Carved into the shape of a small lock, it is also embellished with patterns, which is very attentive. Bring it back to Xiaofanfan to wear!

Because Xiao Fanfan was too young, he was afraid of crowding him at the temple fair, so he left the little guy in the temple to accompany his grandmother to listen to Buddhist scriptures. The little guy was obedient, although he really wanted to join in the fun at the temple fair, he didn’t make a fuss, just watched them leave.

Gu Ye picked up a peach wood hairpin from the hawker stall again, put the hairpin on his head, and asked Ling Juechen, “Does it look good?”

“You look good in anything you wear!” Ling Juechen asked the price of the hairpin and paid the money. .   Gu Ye picked up several hairpins of different colors and couldn’t make up his

mind: “Don’t be too busy paying, I’m not optimistic yet. Brother Chen, help me choose which one looks best?”

They are all pretty good-looking, if you can’t choose them, buy them all.” Ling Juechen said, and paid the peddler all the money for the five hairpins.

The hawker was very surprised. He thought that the peach wood jewelry he carved would not catch the eyes of nobles, but he did not expect to become his big customer. For fear that Gu Ye would go back on it, the hawker hurriedly wrapped up all the peach wood hairpins she wanted.

Gu Ye put the “baby” he found in his small satchel. Chu Mushan asked in confusion: “These hairpins are quite ordinary, why do you buy so many? You can’t wear them?”

“Sixth brother, don’t you understand? Going to a temple fair is all about enjoying the process. If you go shopping, you have to buy it, but whether you buy it or not is another matter!” Gu Ye and her husband held hands and walked towards another stall.

Chu Mushan murmured in a low voice: “What would you buy if you don’t wear it? You’re a prodigal!”

“Don’t murmur! If you don’t spend your money, I’m a prodigal, and I’m happy. My husband hasn’t said anything yet, so you can take care of it. Is it too wide?” Gu Ye turned his head and rolled his eyes at him, “Sixth brother, you are taking good care of my purse, why do I feel that someone keeps peeking at me, must be trying to do something wrong with my purse?”

Chu Mushan looked Glancing at the hand she was holding with her brother-in-law, she said, “It’s because I’ve never seen a man and woman holding hands so blatantly on the street. If you let go of your hands, no one will peek at you!”

“What is blatant? Can you talk? You single dog must be jealous of our pairing! What’s wrong with holding hands? We are husband and wife, and holding hands is legal!” Gu Ye deliberately shook the two people holding hands With his hand, he wrinkled his nose at his sixth brother and made a face.

“Alas! The world is getting worse…” Chu Mushan sighed.

Gu Ye fiercely said: “Besides, be careful I’ll beat you – I’ll let Brother Chen beat you!”

Ling Juechen said coolly from the side: “I’m happy to help!” After speaking, he secretly guarded. Daughter-in-law’s five senses are very sensitive, sometimes even more sensitive than his master’s senses. She said that someone peeked, and I don’t know where it came from.

“Big brother, there are always a few masters around the target, do you want to create some confusion and lead people away?” A big man at a snack stand, who was eating wontons, whispered to the rickety old man beside him.

“Wait and see, the one next to the target is the famous God of War in the Yan Kingdom. His kung fu is not only in the army, but he has few opponents even in the arena. We must hit it with one blow, so as not to startle the snake!” The rickety old man had a low, youthful voice in his mouth.

This waited until the end of the temple fair, and the hand they held never let go. Those in the dark were so angry that their teeth were itchy—are you conjoined twins? In broad daylight, it is really humiliating and indecent!

After using up the vegetarian food at Xingfu Temple and adding sesame oil money, all the talents left.

The second day of the lunar new year is the ancient aunt’s day, that is, the day when the daughter returns to her parents’ home and the aunt pays New Year’s greetings to her father-in-law and father-in-law. The eldest princess was afraid that the two young people would not understand the rules, so she prepared the gifts early. What you eat, drink, and use are all even numbers. I know that my in-laws are not short of money. Although the things prepared are not very expensive, they are very careful, and almost all of them cannot be bought outside.

Jun looked at the gift list brought by his daughter, and was very happy to hear that the eldest princess had prepared these for Zhang Luo. If the daughter can be valued by her mother-in-law’s family, she will be relieved as a mother.

“Mother, this beef jerky is the recipe I thought, how would you like to taste it?” Gu Ye took out jars of beef jerky with different flavors, and let Junshi taste it like a treasure. Seeing Xiao Fanfan watching eagerly, he handed him one and let him chew and play.

Junshi took a sip and said with a smile: “You, half of this clever mind is devoted to studying medicine and medicine, and the other half is put on eating. Beef is not good, your mother-in-law is relieved. I’ll let you toss.”

“When I first entered the twelfth lunar month, the government shop bought a cow that died unexpectedly. Later, during the snow disaster, the victims knew from nowhere that I liked beef, and they crushed their own house to death. Sell the frozen dead cattle to us. Don’t worry, I didn’t take advantage of them, and the price I gave is enough to buy a prime-age cattle again!” Although Gu Ye had just eaten breakfast, she did not delay her snacking. Beef jerky – her favorite!

“This is spiced, this is spicy, this is original… oh, this is salt and pepper. I like this spiced, the more you chew, the more flavorful it is. This thing is delicious and can be put away. After you finish eating, give it to you. You can bring some over here. On your way back, you can accompany your meal or treat it as a snack!”

Speaking of going back, Gu Ye suddenly hugged his mother’s arm: “Mother, it would be great if you didn’t go back! My daughter is reluctant to let you “…”

Jun Shi put down the jar in his hand, his eyes gradually moistened, and he choked up: “Mother doesn’t want to let you! In the beginning, I shouldn’t have married you so far. If you find a young talent in Fanjing, you won’t be able to do it often. Going back to my mother’s house, but it’s very easy for my mother to see you. It’s not like now, it takes nearly two months to go back to my mother’s house… After we leave on the sixth day of the new year, I don’t know the next time we meet. What time is it…”

“What? You are leaving on the sixth day of the new year? Can’t you have the Lantern Festival? I want to eat the dumplings made by my mother again!” Gu Ye was shocked, she knew that her parents would definitely be after the new year. I was about to leave, I didn’t expect it to be so fast.
