In the see-off booth, one friend after another was sent away. With a touch of melancholy, Chen Guhong returned home. Because the county examination was approaching, Chen Guhong also temporarily put down his sword practice and concentrated on reading.
Because Chen Guhong concentrated on his studies, the mischievous Yuanyuan became more at ease. Concentrate on being the little girl who adds fragrance to the red sleeves and serves tea and water.
Occasionally, Chen Guhong would watch it funny, so he would tease and tease Yuanyuan, and life would be joyful again.
The day was sunny, Chen Guhong suddenly had a whim, abandoned his books, and led Yuanyuan out for a stroll. On the street, people come and go very lively.
The county examination was approaching, and families with scholars went to the temple to pray one after another, and the incense in front of the temples of the gods from all walks of life was vigorous again.
Standing in front of a temple of gods, Chen Guhong felt the sarcasm at that time again, "By worshiping the gods, how can you be a scholar? Why don't you buy more chicken soup for the scholars at home, it will improve your brain power."
At this moment, Yuanyuan gave Chen Guhong a hammer. I saw her happily saying: "Master, although the Immortal Temple is not fun, there are quite a lot of delicious food. Yesterday, the lady took me to the Temple of the Shouxing Gong, the Temple of the Jade Emperor, and other miscellaneous temples to pray for the master. , my kneeling legs are sore, but my stomach is also rounded."
Yuanyuan touched her belly cutely, it was flat.
Chen Guhong sighed, and said: "The money for offering incense is better than buying chicken for me."
"Young Master wants to eat chicken? The servant girl will go buy it right away." Yuan Yuan immediately became energetic when she heard that Young Master wanted to eat something, and said with a red face.
In her heart, there is nothing better than her son being able to eat.
"I won't talk to you anymore." Chen Guhong felt that the bull's head was wrong, and said angrily.
"What?" Yuanyuan looked puzzled.
After shopping around for a few more times and buying large and small bags of snacks, Chen Guhong remembered that his ink was running out soon, so he bought two more pieces of good ink.
Just as he was about to go home, a few words caught Chen Guhong's attention.
I saw a few strong men in coarse cloth shorts on the road on the left, pulling a cart to the south of the city. The car was full of thick logs.
"Hey, Brother Dong! Another load of timber, the business is really good."
A man passed by, he seemed to recognize the strong man in the head, and said with a smile.
"It's so-so. Isn't there a temple built at the foot of the mountain in the east of the city recently? All the wood for the temple looks like we bought it. It's just a gust of wind. When the temple is finished, my business should wait again."
The strong man replied.
"At least the business is booming these days," the man said.
"Ha ha."
The strong man also showed a little smile. Immediately, the two passed by.
Waiting for an idle conversation, but Chen Guhong's heart moved when he heard it. I have been in this world for more than 20 years, but I have heard of temples, but I have never heard of temples.
I have heard that there are gods, but I have not heard that there is a Buddha.
Is there a Buddha in this world? monk
He also thought that Yuanyuan often went out to buy groceries, so she should be well informed with gossip. Chen Guhong inquired: "Yuanyuan, what is the temple in the east of the city?"
"It's a very interesting temple. Everyone is bald. The god enshrined in the lobby is called Buddha. He is shining with golden light and has big earlobes. He looks very kind."
Yuanyuan is worthy of being Chen Guhong's Shunfeng ear, she tilted her head and said.
"Have you been there?" Chen Guhong asked angrily.
"That's right, didn't you say that Miss has worshiped all the temples? This temple is also included." Yuanyuan nodded and said cheerfully.
Chen Guhong rubbed his forehead, "My elder sister is worthy of being a good man and a faithful woman."
Thanks to Yuanyuan, the news was confirmed. There are monks in this world, and it seems that there are also Buddhas. But I have lived for more than 20 years and have never seen a monk or heard of a Buddha. But now it has appeared, what is the situation
Could it be that, as said in the novels of the previous life, the world has undergone great changes, and has Buddhism and Taoism competed
Do we, the common people, want to become that humble dog
Puzzled and curious, Chen Guhong led Yuanyuan home slowly.
…
Whether the world has changed or not is a long-term matter, but recently someone has been eyeing Chen Guhong's brother-in-law, Wang Zhengzheng. Wangzheng grain shop has a very tacky name, called Wangji grain shop.
Not far from Wang's house.
The Wang family has been running this small grain shop since his grandfather. Currently, there is himself as the shopkeeper and a buddy. Wang Zhengzheng is a little shrewd, but he is generally honest and unambitious.
The turnover of the small grain shop is still good, but it can't be said to be rich. Wang Zhengzheng and Chen Xiuxiu have been married for many years, but they have no children. I don't know whose problem it is.
This aspect of women has been talked about a lot, and behind the scenes, many people say that Chen Xiuxiu is a hen that can't lay eggs. Wang Zhengzheng also suspected that his wife would not be able to give birth, but he felt that her daughter-in-law was very virtuous, and he did not want to divorce his wife, nor did he want to marry a concubine.
And there is also Chen Guhong, a male in the family. Like Chen Xiuxiu, he said he was raising his younger brother, but he actually raised Chen Guhong as his son.
If Chen Guhong didn't study so well now, he planned to hand over the grain store to Chen Guhong to inherit.
In short, Wang Zhengzheng's life is a portrayal of ordinary people. Although it is day after day, it is also stable and down-to-earth.
On this day, the sky was gloomy, and Huang Kun came.
Wang Zhengzheng settled today's income first, and then closed the shop door with his clerk. With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly towards the house like a little old man.
He has walked this road for most of his life, and he can finish it with his eyes closed. But recently, on a section of the road, a fortune-telling stand appeared, with a flag hanging on the stand.
"The iron mouth is broken, and a word is worth a thousand dollars."
Sitting behind him was a blind old man, looking kindly and kind-hearted, with an immortal demeanor. I heard it worked. Chen Xiuxiu might believe this, but Wang Zhengzheng didn't quite believe it.
So I never went up to join in the fun.
Wang Zheng walked past the stall without even looking at it as usual. But this time, the old fairy sitting in the stall called Wang Zhengzheng.
"How about a drink?"
"The old man is calling me?" Seeing no one around, Wang Zheng knew he was calling. Although he didn't believe it, he didn't want to offend him, so he stepped forward and asked with a bow.
"I'm not calling you, but the God of Gamblers!" The old fairy smiled slightly, groped under the stall, took a jug of good wine, poured two glasses, and handed one to Wang Zhengzheng.
"God of Gamblers?" Wang Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly looked around, but there was still no one there. Immediately, the hairs stood on end, and the whole body felt cold.
"You don't have to be shocked or frightened. I'm talking to the God of Gamblers attached to you." The old god smiled slightly and handed the wine glass to Wang Zhengzheng.
"Why is the God of Gamblers attached to this mortal?"
"Oh, it turns out that this mortal has been lucky in gambling recently?"
"So it is, so it is."
"By the way, before the Queen Mother's flat peach meeting this year, you want to have a few drinks with me."
The old fairy talked to himself in front of Wang Zheng, as if he was really talking to someone. After finishing speaking, the old fairy raised his head and drank the wine.
