peasant girl wedding

Chapter 232 Invitation
Lingyin Temple deserves to be the largest temple at the foot of the imperial city.

Before we got close, there was a sea of ​​people, and the bustling voices kept coming into our ears.

Ji Li got off his horse and carried Tong Zhi'er down.

"You wait for me here for a while, and I will lead the horse over there."

Tong Zhi'er blushed and nodded, obediently waiting for him in place.

Among the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the woman's delicate face and the faint blush on her face won frequent glances from the passing road.

"Miss, what are you looking at?"

On the other side, a girl asked the woman who stopped suddenly.

"nothing!"

The woman's voice was very low, but the girl could still hear the gnashing of teeth.

Following the woman's gaze, the girl saw an ordinary girl.

"Let's go."

Without waiting for her to take a closer look, the woman urged.

The girl hurriedly turned her head and followed the woman.

At the foot of the mountain, Ji Li fixed the door and walked back to Tong Zhi'er.

"Where do you want to go?"

he asks.

"Well, let's take a look around first."

Ji Li nodded, and walked together with her at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain are mostly hawker stalls, selling items related to the temple fair, such as wishful bracelets, locks, red strings, small pendants for safety, etc., and others are food.

After walking around, Tong Zhi'er looked at all the stalls.

"Finished?" Ji Li asked.

Tong Zhier nodded.

"Then go up the mountain."

"it is good."

It may be that the timing of their arrival was not coincidental. There were many people going up the mountain and many people going down the mountain.

Tong Zhi'er and Ji Li were blocked in the middle, unable to get up or down.

Finding a rock, Tong Zhi'er sat down on the rock.

Ji Li sat down next to her, blocking other people from bumping into her.

"The scenery of Lingyin Temple is really nice."

Tong Zhier sighed.

Looking around, there are large areas of maple forests layered on top of each other. If it comes to autumn, it must be another moving scene.There are peach blossoms growing on the mountain. Just looking at the luxuriant peach blossoms on the left and right sides of Lingyin Temple, one can imagine the peach blossoms in the temple are burning.

There are so many people today, it may not be unreasonable.

On the days when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, there are naturally many people.

Tong Zhier looked at the scenery, while Ji Li observed her carefully, and found that her gaze was on the peach blossom for a longer time, Ji Li secretly wrote it down.

After a short rest, when the crowd was less crowded, Tong Zhi'er stood up, looked at Ji Li and said, "Let's go up."

This time, it was unimpeded.

On the mountain, there were not many people in front of Lingyin Temple, and most of them must have gone to the center and back of the temple.

A little novice came over and said, "I wonder if the two benefactors want to go to the temple to pay homage, or go to the back of the temple to enjoy the peach blossoms?"

Tong Zhi'er blinked, "What if I want to go to the temple to pay homage, and then go to the back of the temple to enjoy the peach blossoms?"

"The donor can enter from the front."

The little monk pointed to the entrance behind him and said.

"Is there any other way to go directly behind the temple?"

"Naturally there is."

The little novice pointed to a circular arch on the left.

Tong Zhier nodded and walked towards the main entrance.

Entering the gate is the Temple of Heavenly Kings. Tong Zhi'er looked up at the suffering Bodhisattva and walked slowly.

She doesn't know if there are really gods in this world. If there are, she hopes to bless her family in the previous life to be safe, and bless her family and Le Kangtai in this life.

After passing the Daxiong Hall and the Pharmacist Hall at the back, Tong Zhi'er just took a quick look, and followed the guidance of the little novice monk, and went to the peach blossom forest behind the temple.

The faint fragrance of peach blossom permeates the nostrils, and after passing through a circular arch, there are clusters of lush peach blossoms in the eyes, which are endless, and the border cannot be seen at a glance.

Tong Zhi'er was walking carelessly in the peach blossom forest.

Ji Li quietly followed behind her.

She seemed to be very happy, with a smile on her brows and eyes.

Looking at the smile on Tong Zhi'er's face, Ji Li couldn't help but bend his lips upwards.

Gradually there was a weak wind, and it rained peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest.

Tong Zhi'er stood where she was, with her hands open, letting the pink petals fall on her palms, arms and clothes.

"Ji Li, what's the best wine you've ever tasted?"

Tong Zhier asked.

Ji Li thought about it, but couldn't remember it for a while.

As a man, he naturally tasted wine.

Laobaigan, Nvnuhong, rice wine, and the wine that the Western Regions paid tribute to that year.

If it is the best wine I have ever tasted, well, it is probably the very strong Lao Bai Gan.

"Ji Li, you are blessed. When I make peach blossom wine, you can taste the best wine." Tong Zhi'er said with a smile.

Peach Blossom Stuffed?Sounds good.

Ji Li smiled, watching the woman squatting down to pick up the petals on the ground, Ji Li also bent over to follow her to pick up the peach blossoms.

When I went back in the afternoon, Tong Zhi'er was all smiles.

Ji Li sent her back to the house.

Tong Zhi'er thanked her and knocked on the door.

Butler Wu immediately opened the door, Ji Li watched her enter the house, closed the door, and then left.

"Father, mother, I'm back."

Tong Zhier shouted with a smile.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei came out from the room to greet her, and looked at the things in her hands with a smile, "What is this?"

"Peach petals."

"What did you pick this up for? To make paint for Zhu'er?" Fang Cuiwei asked.

Tong Zhier shook his head, "I'll show you when I'm done."

With that said, she went to her own room.

"This girl is always so mysterious..." Fang Cui smiled slightly.

"By the way, the post hasn't been shown to Zhi'er yet?"

Tong Zhixin patted his head and said.

"Forget it, Zhi'er is tired after going out for a whole day, and it won't be too late to give it to her after dinner..."

When Tong Zhi'er returned to the room, he unfolded the peach blossom petals. After the petals were dried in the shade, they were put into the wine. After about half a month, they were ready to drink.

After Tong Zhi'er finished these, she lay on the bed and squinted her eyes for a while, when she woke up, the sky outside had already darkened.

"Father, mother," Tong Zhi'er came out of the room, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei were still sitting in the dining room.

Fang Cuiwei immediately asked Xiaotao to go to the kitchen to bring in the food.

Tong Zhi'er told them that things like cooking, serving dishes and washing clothes are the work of Butler Wu's family. If they rob their jobs, Butler Wu's family will not feel at ease.

In this way, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei did nothing.

"Father, mother, you haven't eaten yet?"

Tong Zhi'er sat down and asked guiltily.

Fang Cui shook her head slightly, "We've already eaten, the food left in the kitchen is yours."

Tong Zhi'er breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Zhi'er, this is a post for you and Zhu'er."

Fang Cuiwei took out a red post and gave it to her.

Tong Zhi'er took it, opened it, and was stunned.

"What's on the post?"

Fang Cui asked slightly.

"Princess Anping invited Zhu'er and me to the Peach Blossom Party in five days' time."

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei looked at each other, both a little surprised.

"Princess, why did you invite you and Pearl?"

Tong Zhier shook his head.

There's something odd about this.

She has never met this Princess Anping, and she has only come to the capital not long ago, why did the princess invite her and Zhu Er over there?
county lord...

Tong Zhi'er understood something.

Maybe, she knows why.

"Zhi'er, are you and Zhu'er going?" Fang Cuiwei asked nervously.

Tong Zhi'er shook her head, "Father, Mother, we still have a lot of things to do, Zhu'er and I will not go."

"Ah? Can this be done? It's not appropriate for the princess to invite you."

Fang Cuiwei was afraid that Tong Zhi'er would offend the princess by saving face, and would make her feel uncomfortable, and would cause trouble for Zhi'er.

Tong Zhi'er gave Fang Cuiwei a comforting look, "Mother, don't worry, it's a big deal, I'll give you a letter of divorce and ask the housekeeper to send it to Princess Anping."

"Ah."

After dinner, Tong Zhi'er went to the study, wrote the letter, and handed it over to the housekeeper the next day to send it to the Anping Princess's Mansion.

"She didn't come? Hmph, she's a bit smart."

Princess Anping looked at the letter sent by Butler Wu, and snorted coldly.

"Princess, what should we do now?"

"If she doesn't come this time, she can't never show up after getting married. You make arrangements for the Peach Blossom Festival, and you must satisfy all the ladies who come to the Peach Blossom Party."

"Yes, county lord."

While Princess Anping was making careful preparations for the Peach Blossom Festival five days later, Tong Zhier was not idle.

After looking at all the shops in the west of the city, Tong Zhi'er was sure that these shops really didn't pay attention to packaging, and basically they used a piece of high-end cloth to wrap them.

At most, add a box and wrap it with a high-grade cloth.

Tong Zhi'er thought that this was probably a fashion in this dynasty.

Tong Zhier intends to introduce another fashion.

Early in the morning, she went out with her servant and purchased a large amount of colored paper, white paper, and actual paint.

After returning to the house, Tong Zhier began to prepare the wrapping paper.

Tong Zhu'er will also come to help her.

Tong Zhier refitted the wrapping paper, and drew cute pictures, flowers, or animals on the white white paper, and Tong Zhuer was responsible for spreading out Tong Zhier's drawings to dry in the sun.

"Second sister, you said these wrapping papers, can those shops accept them?"

Tong Zhuer asked.

Tong Zhi'er smiled, "It's impossible to just bring the wrapping paper over like this, and even if you accept it, you won't be able to collect much."

"Ah? Second sister, what are you going to do?"

"Open a rouge shop first."

"Open a rouge shop?"

Tong Zhu'er was stunned.

"Second sister, have you bought the goods yet? Or, do you know how to say rouge and gouache?"

Tong Zhier shook his head, "I don't know how to make rouge powder." But I know the types of rouge powder.

To subdivide the types, so that people who can make rouge powder can make a variety of cosmetics. What she has to do is to manage the shop and publicity, so that more people can know the rouge of her shop.

Seeing Tong Zhi'er's confident smile, Tong Zhu'er also laughed.

"Second sister, is there anything I can do?"

"Well, help me put in the dried wrapping paper, and take these new ones to dry."
