Xiangguo Temple in Tokyo, Naiwa City also. The monks' houses are scattered, while the two verandahs in the atrium can accommodate thousands of people, and all business and travel transactions are gathered there.
It was said in ancient books.
Just seeing it face to face, Ling Qingyu was still greatly shocked. Compared with this one, those open-air New Year's goods stalls in later generations are nothing!
Because they were out shopping at the stalls, everyone was dressed in civilian clothes. Ling Yu wore a thick cotton coat, a pair of special cotton boots, and gloves. Both Yang Zhao and He Li wore casual clothes, and Ling Qingyu, a big cotton Compared with the ball, the men's clothes are so fluffy, even ordinary clothes can look chic.
In front of the gate of Xiangguo Temple is the selling point of all kinds of animals, rare birds and animals, everything that one expects to find. In the second gate, there are colorful curtains and various vendors in the courtyard, selling all kinds of everyday objects, only you Unexpected, nothing you can't find. Near the Buddha Hall, in the corridors on both sides are various works of aunts, including embroidery, accessories, hats, etc., and behind the main hall are all kinds of books, rare treasures and pictures, as well as special spices from all over the world, etc. . The back porch is used for fortune-telling and portrait painting.
Ling Qingyu took a rough stroll first, then went to the promenade to look at the works of the nuns in the monastery, bought bacon and some dried fruits in the atrium, and then wandered back to the back to look at the books and pictures.
Xiangguo Temple was crowded with people, but there were always people around her to help her circle a small free space, but it didn't affect her.
"If you buy it again, you won't be able to hold it anymore." Yan San knocked her down and said.
Ling Qingyu turned around, only to realize that not only Guangying Thirteen Sums, but also He Li and Yang Zhao's hands were almost full. Fang stopped reluctantly, and said, "Why don't you take the carriage up first."
"Well, you go over there to rest first, and we'll deliver the things." Yang Zhao said, pointing to a small tea stand next to him.
"Okay." After walking around for so long, Ling Qingyu was also a little tired, so he obediently sat down with Yan San at the tea stall, ordered some food, and began to eat slowly.
The trading of Wan surnames in Xiangguo Temple has always been lively, so they opened up an open space next to it to park carriages.
After finding the carriage and putting things on it, Ying Shisan took out some copper coins from the hidden compartment inside the carriage. Dazhou used to use copper coins. Although so many copper coins are really heavy to carry, it is impossible to carry them in a place like this today. They ran with a large ingot of silver, so each of them carried copper coins on their bodies, but after being wandered around by Ling Qingyu, they almost used them.
After taking the copper coins, the four of them walked towards the Xiangguo Temple again. As soon as they entered the gate, a group of women rushed towards them.
The four of Yang Zhao stepped aside and let the people surrounded by girls and women walk over.
"Yang... Zhao...?" The group of people had already passed by, but stopped again, and one of the two women in the middle asked uncertainly.
Yang Zhao glanced at her, but didn't make a sound. The woman looked at him carefully for a while, walked up to Yang Zhao, and asked, "Yang Zhao?"
This time with an affirmative tone, Yang Zhao bowed his hands and said, "I have seen Madam."
The woman was overwhelmed with surprise, and said: "It really is you, why didn't you come to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion when you came back?" Seeing Yang Zhao's expression was calm, she took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said, "Hey, Back then, I couldn't do anything, if it wasn't a married woman, I would be implicated too, by the way, you know about Kexin, she has been waiting for you."
"Madam Yang is wrong, right? Isn't the young lady of Jing'an Marquis already married?" Yang Zhao took a step back and said calmly.
Mrs. Yang was taken aback. That year, the Yang family was ransacked by the whole family. She was a married woman and she avoided it, and because her husband's family respected the loyalty of the Yang family, it was better for her. Yesterday I heard from my husband that Yang Zhao is now being reused again. This time the sage is calling back to Beijing, I am afraid that he will be promoted again. I can't help but think that it is not a problem for my daughter to be a widow at home and shed tears every day, so I moved a little bit. Yang Zhao has lost his youthful appearance and is even more outstanding. He is really a good-looking talent, and his heart is even more moved to settle the marriage. Now she is Yang Zhao's few remaining elders, and she has the love of the Yang family for Yang Zhao's upbringing. I am not afraid that Yang Zhao will not agree. So he laughed again: "Look at you kid, what are you doing with your aunt? Kexin has already returned to An's house. When your adoptive father was still there, our two families once said that we would marry each other. Now it's okay." Now, you and Kexin are married, and our Yang family will have a future."
"Mrs. Yang, did you remember wrongly? Yang Zhao was adopted by his adoptive father at the age of nine, and I don't remember any talk about the child's relatives." Yang Zhao's tone was a bit cold. This person is really shameless. When something happened to the Yang family, he just avoided it. , and hastily married his daughter, afraid of being influenced by the Yang family, but now he is ashamed to mention it, let alone such a baby relative, even if there is, it is not counted, right
Mrs. Yang was taken aback for another moment, and then she remembered that the person in front of her was no longer the fourteen-year-old boy she had seen last time. She glanced around and saw that many people had slowly gathered around to watch the excitement. She thought of Yang Zhao. The most important thing is friendship, it is better to just suppress him. Then he said loudly: "Yang Zhao, you really have no conscience. You were an orphan back then. If the Yang family hadn't taken you in, you wouldn't have known where you would have died. Now that you are promising and the Yang family has fallen, why? Cleared?"
Her voice was not low, and after a while, discussions slowly sounded from the side.
There was a trace of anger on Yang Zhao's face, before he could speak, Mrs. Yang said again: "Didn't my daughter-in-law of Jing'an Hou's mansion still wrong you? Isn't it all because of Yang's mansion that you can have today? you… "
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a clearer voice.
"Madam, that's not what you said? We came from Heishuiguan, but we didn't hear that General Yang Zhao relied on the Yang Mansion to resist the hundreds of thousands of troops from Daliao?" A man dressed like a ball The woman came out from inside and said with a smile: "We only heard that General Yang replaced his own father to guard Heishui Pass at the age of fourteen. He started from a small school and experienced many battles. Liao's fierce soldiers occupied the outside of the pass. A few years ago, he was imprisoned by the Yang family and was exiled for thousands of miles. He almost lost his life. Later, the current sage recalled General Yang to Heishui Pass, and then sent Daliao back outside the pass. All the achievements in battle are due to General Yang's own bravery and the wiseness of the Holy Majesty, what? This has nothing to do with the Yang family, or you? Or, what does your widowed daughter have to do with it?"
Her voice was louder and farther away, and the discussions around her became more intense.
Madam Yang's complexion changed, she only wanted to use morality to suppress Yang Zhao, but she forgot that the matter of the Yang family was known to be an unjust case, but if the emperor did not overturn the case, he was still guilty of treason.
"That's right, Old General Yang is very brave, but General Yang also killed him by himself." A person from Hebei Road echoed.
"Who are you? There is a place for you to talk here!" The big maid beside Mrs. Yang stepped forward and shouted.
"Hey, is this Xiangguo Temple also the place of your Jing'an Houfu? Could it be that this world is not the emperor's world, but your Jing'an Houfu's?" Yuanqiu covered her mouth in surprise.
These words were so poisonous that the other woman who was surrounded in the middle changed her expression and wanted to speak out. The maid next to Mrs. Yang said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just said that our wife can speak without you This pariah speaks!"
"Yo," the voice of the ball raised, she was wearing a bulging cotton padded jacket to wrap her body tightly, and her face was surrounded by a thick collar, only a pair of eyes were exposed flickeringly, at this time Squinting his eyes, he said, "First of all, Da Zhou values the equality of all living beings. Besides, you are a pariah and you just treat everyone here as the same as you? Thirdly, this lady of yours robbed a good family in the public Man, you can't help but say something like this?"
The servant girl was ashamed and angry, and said: "You are talking nonsense, there is a man robbing there! This is my house..."
"Isn't it a robbery?" The ball interrupted her again, and said: "As soon as your lady comes up, she wants someone to marry her daughter and repay her favor. It's not your wife's favor. Did your wife give birth to General Yang, raised General Yang, rescued General Yang, or fought for General Yang? Open your mouth and ask someone to marry her daughter? This lady, a man is also famous, If you ruin people’s reputation like this and threaten them in the street, what is it if it’s not robbery?”
There was laughter all around, and all kinds of shameless curses came and went.
"Who are you, leave a name." Another woman finally spoke up.
"I'm a woman from a good family of the Great Zhou. Why, you want to ask me to live that night to take revenge? Is there any reason for this? If you threaten in the street, Da Zhou has no law?!" The ball jumped back, Hiding behind a fat monk at the door, said.
The woman wanted to say something, but was stopped by a man who hurried up and said, "Madam, let's go." Then she bowed to Yang Zhao and said, "General Yang, forgive me!"
Yang Zhaowei cupped his hands, his face was cold and he didn't speak.
The man called everyone to leave in a hurry, and when he got to his carriage, he pulled his wife and said, "Why are you messing around with her? During the morning court today, the Holy Majesty had already allowed Yang Zhao to marry independently in court, and now Yang Zhao Zhao is not the one who was bullied by her in the Yang Mansion back then, isn't this causing trouble for herself? As for today's incident, you should pretend that you have never been out with her. Otherwise, Weiyuan Hou Mansion is not doing well."
Seeing that the group of people at the door had completely left, Ling Qingyu walked out from behind the fat monk, and walked towards her carriage while talking to the people who had greeted her.
After getting into the carriage, after sitting for a short time, Yang Zhao lifted the curtain and came up, Ling Qingyu snorted and said, "You are really a sweet bun, there are people snatching it everywhere!"
Yang Zhao sat beside her, hugged her and smiled, "Fortunately, there is a lady who stands up for me."
"Hmph, I also see that the more she talks, the more outrageous she becomes, but I don't care if this kind of thing happens again." Ling Qingyu snorted and turned her head away.
"That can't be done. If you don't care, what will you do if you get eaten for your husband?" Yang Zhao said with a rare teasing smile in his heart.
"How dare you!" Ling Qingyu turned to stare at him, but was blocked by Yang Zhao's lips.
There were many people outside Xiangguo Temple, and the news that Jing'an Hou's mansion wanted to rob General Yang as her son-in-law in broad daylight and scolded the despised woman spread like wind.
When the news spread to the palace, Wang Xiangzheng and his son Wang Fuzhi summoned several close officials to discuss today's affairs. Hearing the news, Wang Fuzhi smiled and said: "The lady in the Jing'an Hou's residence has never been very serious. I'm afraid it's not what the Marquis of Jing'an wanted."
"Yang Zhao's attitude is interesting. It looks like he doesn't want to overturn the Yang family's case?" An official said, the matter between the Yang family and the King of Chu was facilitated by the faction of the Wang family. It would not be a good thing for the Wang family if the case was overturned.
"Hmph, what kind of case can he turn over? He hasn't had enough losses last time? The emperor summoned him and Zhao Yinfeng back this time, and the reward he gave him was not as good as Zhao Yinfeng's, and this time he was asked to lay off the army, and he would do so honestly." Already, I guess I learned how to behave." Another official said.
Wang Xiang nodded. If the emperor's attitude today is indeed to unite the Zhao family and the Wang family, then a Black Water Pass is not something to be afraid of. Moreover, the Black Water Pass is quite far from Bianjing. Even if it is transferred, it will take some time. Now it can't become a climate.
After sending Ling Qingyu back to Ling's house, Yang Zhao and He Li went to the official post to arrange personal guards. The emperor had already summoned them, and they had to go to the Ministry of War to go through the relevant procedures for renewing their posts, and then they had to visit some colleagues.
When Han Bian bought the courtyard, he bought a very small courtyard next to it, but in the name of Yang Zhao, tidied it up and made it Yang Zhao's residence in Bianjing.
Yang Zhao kept a few personal guards, and gave money to the others, so he can go home and have a look, or he can play in Bianjing by himself, as long as no trouble is allowed, and then he brought people back to the small courtyard.
There are only two entrances to the small courtyard, but five houses are enough to live in once. The guards live outside, Yang Zhao and He Li live inside, and there is a secret door between Jin and Ling's house inside, and they can go directly through.
After finishing, the two went from the secret door to Ling Qingyu's yard.
In addition to the main room, this main courtyard has an independent study room, which is very spacious. After dinner, Ling Qingyu asked Shisan to clean it up and put it on the card table.
What is the happiest thing about Chinese New Year? It is to play cards unscrupulously!
Ling Qingyu would feel tired after two or three hours of physical activity now, and he was also a little tired after walking around Xiangguo Temple today, so he leaned on the soft couch to watch them fight, pointing Yang Zhao from time to time, every time after pointing, Yang Zhao would lose.
She took off the clothes that looked like cotton balls, and changed into an azure robe. Her hair was only tied behind her head and tied with a hair ring carved into the shape of a butterfly.
It's just that this style completely changed when she couldn't help but want to stay in the hotel to grab a seat.
When Han Bian came in, he saw such a lively scene, and said with a smile: "The head of the house should not go up, the day after tomorrow will be the plum blossom viewing party in the garden, let's do it right?"
Ling Qingyu returned to the couch and said, "Okay."
The Plum Garden has a large area, and Han Bian arranged more than a dozen warm pavilions along the lake and in the open space, all equipped with props for making tea and wine, and also set up game places such as throwing pots, shooting balls, guessing couplets, etc. There is a large fighting room, and some scattered piano seats. There are famous pianos in the warm pavilion, which can be played at will.
Ling Qingyu looked at it and said with a smile: "It's so rich, it's enough."
