Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 180 Hear
Except for Puhuang and the others, there are quite a few people who climb the mountain, most of them are family outings, there are men, women and children, and they go up one step at a time without skipping any steps.Although there were many people, it wouldn't be too crowded, but after all, there were many strangers, so Qin Zhilian wrapped a piece of tulle around her face, and there were quite a few girls who did this.

After climbing for more than half an hour and resting twice in the middle, we finally arrived at the Baiyun Temple on the top of the mountain. This is a temple with a history of more than 200 years. It does not look dilapidated, which shows that it is well maintained.Carrying the basket and entering the gate, there is a large courtyard with a large bronze incense burner in the middle, filled with incense sticks, the smoke curls up, and if you get close, you can be choked.

On the left and right sides, there are two small flower beds, in which small pines and cypresses are planted, and there are stone horses hewn from bluestone. Many children will be taken by adults to touch them.

Entering the main hall, it was crowded with people. The one enshrined in the middle should be the Emperor of Heaven, and the Pu Huang on the left and right sides could not be distinguished. In short, the table was full of things. Many people lit incense and held it up. It's thanks.

Puhuang and Qin Zhilian were a little stunned by this situation. There were so many people, but Mrs. Li was very skillful. She spotted a vacant space that she had just left, quickly placed the basket on it, and greeted Puhuang and Qin Zhilian. Qin Zhilian.

According to Sister Li's words, the two first went to the big candle outside the gate to light incense, then went in and knelt down, said some offerings and prayers, and finally divided the incense into three parts and put them in different incense burners.This is not over yet, and people have to crowd to a place built into a tower to burn paper money, hand over the firecrackers to special people, and then go back to collect the basket.

If you want to ask questions, you have to draw another lot, and then go to solve the lottery.Pu Huang and Qin Zhilian couldn't stand such a series of events, they agreed not to draw lots, and stood in the corner with a basket, silently waiting for Sister-in-law Li's draw to end.At the lottery lottery place, many women asked about their health or their children's hidden dangers. Some of them smiled when they got a satisfactory answer, and some looked sad.

Because there is an additional payment, they can wait for the vegetarian meal at noon, and the three of them walked around the temple. At this time, Puhuang discovered that the temple is divided into several parts, and there are many Guangda halls. , but there are not as many people coming in and out.

Most of the people in the temple are Taoist priests. They are dressed up, and there is always a feeling of being untouched by worldly fireworks. Sister-in-law Li is very familiar with this temple. She pointed to the highest hall at the end, "There, it is mainly for receiving rich and noble people. I don’t know which year it was built, and the gods there are enshrined in the same hall as we just came out, the rich and the rich, but the poor are particular about it.” When praying to God and Buddha, the question is a sincere one, and it is specifically for the identity It's ridiculous to build an identical hall with different status.

"There are side halls on both sides. Let's go and have a look and pay our respects along the way. There are few people there, so we don't have to squeeze." Sister-in-law Li said, and she was about to take Puhuang and Qin Zhilian to the gate on the right. Unfortunately, it happened to be Someone greeted her.

Sister-in-law Li was a little hesitant when she saw that it was her sister who hadn't seen her for a long time. After all, Puhuang and Qin Zhilian were not familiar with this, and it was hard to leave them behind, "Sister-in-law Li, go, Xiaolian and I will look around. , I will meet you in the courtyard of Su Zhai at noon."

Thinking about it, this Baiyun Temple is full of people coming and going, and there are two adults, what can happen, "Well, be careful, don't collide with others, there are many unreasonable people these days." Confess After a few words, Mrs. Li left.

As soon as Mrs. Li left, Qin Zhilian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, finally she didn't have to be tense.

"What's the matter, are you nervous?" Puhuang asked with a smile, and the two entered the gate on the right, which was a small courtyard. The goddess Puhuang didn't know was enshrined in the temple, and the words on the plaque were Unrecognizable seal characters, many young women knelt and worshiped.

"Sister-in-law, I made you laugh. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake." Qin Zhilian smiled sheepishly.

"Okay, now it's just the two of us. I wonder if there are many girls kneeling down, so you go too and ask for a good marriage." I can't read the words, but looking at the expressions of these girls, I can more or less understand.

Qin Zhilian's face turned red, and seeing that there were fewer people, she hurried up, picked a futon, knelt down, closed her eyes, and concentrated on praying.Pu Huang folded her arms around her chest and looked at her with a smile. At the age of flowers, she is the most tender and fresh. Marriage is especially important for women. Who doesn't have an idea?

The two of them left the gate of this temple, which is also a courtyard, and gods are also enshrined. They went in and worshiped, and then went out through the side door. It was a bamboo forest, and there were always bamboo tables and chairs in the forest. , very sentimental.

The two of them walked deep for a while, and chose a place that was farther down the slope. The bamboo chair was a little cold, but it was very strong, and there was a back to lean on. It felt very leisurely.Qin Zhilian put the basket on the table, took out a pack of candied fruit and a pack of fried chestnuts, "Sister-in-law, let's eat something."

"Well, this mountain is quite flat, I don't know if it was artificially built?" Pu Huang pinched a candied fruit and threw it into his mouth, it was sweet and sour.

"It should be. I heard that Baiyun Temple has existed for more than 200 years. It is a mountain top, and it should be flattened." Qin Zhilian took a chestnut and peeled it slowly. from?"

There are many types of bamboo, but in Bihu County, they are all the kind in large clumps, with the diameter of the bamboo poles at most five centimeters, but now in this bamboo forest, each tree is thick and tall, and the color is different. It was bright green, but green, which made Qin Zhilian feel novel.

Puhuang looked at it, but she wasn't very sure, she didn't know much about bamboo, "Maybe it is."

"Sister-in-law, tell me, can the bamboo shoots be dried in the sun? We..." Qin Zhilian hadn't finished speaking when she heard a rustling sound, she stopped, stared at Puhuang with wide eyes, A little frightened.

In such a place, Puhuang's mental strength has always been let go, she smiled at Qin Zhilian comfortingly, indicating that it's okay, and then heard a voice from the slope, listening to the voice, it should be two young girls , but in fact, there are seven people, two ladies and maids.

"Big sister, it's rare to come to Baiyun Temple. Aren't you feeling uncomfortable? You can come here for anything. Look, isn't it uncomfortable? Although Mrs. Su has made rumors that she wants to choose one of us as a daughter-in-law, she will do whatever she wants." He is in good health, as for you, wouldn't it be good to wait for your parents to arrange for you obediently?"

"Third sister, look at what you said, it seems that I am in poor health. It's not that I have eaten too much cold food during the year and have a bad appetite. Today is the Shangyuan Festival. I came to Baiyun Temple to pray and talk to Madam Su. What does it matter." Compared with the person who spoke first, the tone of this woman's speech is much more gentle, soft, and lovable.

"Big sister, don't lie to me. Now, who knows that Mr. Su wants to choose a betrothal marriage among the ladies of the family, you will not think, and the devil will believe it? Did your mother mention it to you? But yes, you are a concubine , it is very difficult to marry into the Su family as the head of the house." The girl seemed very proud of the difference in status.

"Third sister, don't talk about it. I know my identity, and I have never thought about the Su family." The girl who knew her position very well.

"Really, if you're really that smart, don't show up when you see Mrs. Su and Mr. Su." After speaking, the girl took the maid and left.

"Miss, do you really want to listen to Miss San?"

"Do you think it's possible? If she doesn't let me appear in front of Mrs. Su and Mr. Su, it will be fine for them to appear in front of me. I haven't done anything. You are right, this bamboo forest is really Mr. Su." Favorite place?"

"Exactly. It is said that these bamboo tables and chairs were made by Mr. Su at the expense of others."

"It's done, find a place to sit down, and give me the embroidery shed."

When there was no sound from the top of the slope, Puhuang smiled, "Okay, let's go back." The people who came just now didn't play down the slope, so they can see them. I really want to watch the excitement, but forget it, those rich people are much more dirty, so it's better not to get involved.

"Well, sister-in-law, but, sister-in-law, listening to those two girls, it seems that there is some disagreement. To fight for a young master, this..." Qin Zhilian looked at Puhuang puzzled, she didn't understand why sisters talk more like enemies.

"Xiao Lian, we are ordinary people. They, rich families don't only marry one person, so there are more struggles in the open and in the dark. You don't need to understand, you just know it." Pu Huang patted Qin Zhilian on the shoulder, that is It's no good knowing too much about a world they won't get in touch with.

"Oh, I understand." Qin Zhilian nodded, half understanding, it seemed that Widow Qiu had said similar things before, and she only listened to it as a story, so it really happened in reality!

Seeing that it was about the same time, Puhuang and Qin Zhilian went to the courtyard of Suzhai, where there were many tables with oilcloths on top, so they don't need to be afraid of the sun.When they passed by, there were already a lot of people. They found Mrs. Li, her friends, and a few women they didn't know. Everyone went to get a vegetarian meal, and then sat down to eat. Those who knew each other shouted Speak, and keep silent if you don't know it.

Each person has a tray, a bowl of plain noodles, and three dishes, tofu, cabbage, and bean curd. The taste is very good, of course, it needs to be lighter.After eating vegetarian food, Mrs. Li didn't plan to leave immediately, because it was the same car, and Puhuang also felt that there was no need to go back so early. Now is the peak time to go back, and the traffic is too heavy.

After strolling on the right side, Puhuang took Qin Zhilian to the left side. There was a mountain forest outside the side door.They just had nothing to do, so they climbed the mountain together, and met people who came down from the top on the way.

There is nothing special about the top of the mountain, except that there is a pavilion in the distance. When the two arrived, the people inside looked over together, and then looked at the table as if nothing had happened. It turned out that they were playing chess.

　Well, not all temples belong to Buddha, Taoism is also cultivated, but the enshrining is different...
