Because of these five words, Mr. Zhu was no longer in the mood to set up a stall.
But Chen Changsheng laughed loudly, patted his butt and left, not caring how worried Mr. Zhu was.
Just after one knot was solved, another knot was formed.
Mr. Zhu could only smile bitterly. He was worried for a long time and could not find peace.
What Mr. Chen did was really harmful!
………
Ruyi took Li Hua around for a walk.
I watched the jugglers, ate peaches, and listened to the singers. I had a great time.
Lihua leaned close to Ruyi's ear and whispered: "The temple fair is fun."
Ruyi smiled and said: "Of course, my favorite thing when I was a child was the temple fair."
When she saw the candied haws seller, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Do you like to eat candied haws?"
Lihua blinked and said, "What is that?"
"delicious."
"The raccoon flower likes it."
Ruyi stepped forward and bought two bunches for six cents of silver. Compared to many years ago, the candied haws of sugar was one penny more expensive.
Ruyi took one off, broke it in half, and handed it to the civet flower on her shoulder.
Lihua took a bite, and the hawthorn came into her mouth first, and then she tasted the sugar coating on the outside.
"very sour!"
"Hmm, sweet!"
Li Hua's eyes lit up, and then she said: "It's delicious!"
Ruyi immediately smiled and said: "You really like eating these sweet and sour things."
"Why don't you like it?"
"Because cats generally don't eat these."
"Ci Hua is not an ordinary cat."
After hearing this, Ruyi smiled and said, "Yes!"
While the man and the cat were enjoying their meal, they heard a voice coming from behind.
"Is it tasty?"
Ruyi turned around and said immediately: "How did Uncle Chen find us?"
"It's not difficult to find." Chen Changsheng said.
Ruyi paused for a moment and then responded, "Think about it, after all, Uncle Chen, you are a god."
Ruyi handed another bunch of candied haws in her hand to Chen Changsheng and said, "Here."
Chen Changsheng asked: "Bought for Chen?"
"Yeah." Ruyi nodded and smiled: "Uncle Chen bought it for Ruyi to eat when I was a kid, but now Ruyi buys it for Uncle Chen."
"You still remember." Chen Changsheng said.
Ruyi smiled and said, "Of course I remember. At that time, I really thought that Uncle Chen didn't like candied haws. Later, when I grew up, I realized that Uncle Chen had lied to me for many years."
Chen Changsheng said: "Ruyi has really become smarter."
"of course!"
Ruyi said: "And I also know that Ruyi didn't actually answer the right question just now. After all, I still know how many pounds I have. I think it's because Mr. Zhu wanted to be a favor, although Ruyi really shouldn't have it. But as the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person without stretching your hand, so you can’t expose it, right?”
"I guess Uncle Chen and Mr. Zhu must have talked about this just now, right?"
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng paused for a moment and couldn't help but look at Ruyi with admiration.
He couldn't help but say: "Isn't that a little bit smarter?"
Ruyi smiled proudly and said: "Uncle Chen, Ruyi is no longer a child."
Chen Changsheng stretched out his hand and touched her head.
"Well, we are no longer children. We Ruyi are now grown girls."
Ruyi has grown up.
Chen Changsheng was also in a daze.
It seemed like in the blink of an eye, everything changed.
This made him feel like he was missing out on a lot of things.
In the blink of an eye, the little girl who was not very smart now understands a lot of things.
This also made Chen Changsheng feel a lot of unreality in his heart, as if the person in front of him was not the Ruyi he once knew.
My mood became confused for a while.
"What is Uncle Chen thinking?"
"I'm thinking about how Ruyi has grown up in the past ten years or so."
"Every year you get taller, you grow taller."
Chen Changsheng came to his senses, nodded and said, "Ruyi is right."
He might have had an illusion, but the facts made him understand that the person in front of him was Ruyi, the Ruyi who often quarreled with him and loved to eat candied fruits.
………
Since there is a temple fair, there should be rituals and prayers.
At that time, Qingshan City was not yet stable, so ritual matters were put on hold for a long time. Until the Taiping Period, the government invited Taoist priests from the mountains to come down to practice rituals in order to comply with etiquette.
According to the rules in previous years, the temple owner of Qingxian Temple should come to preside over the ceremony in person, open an altar to pray for good weather in the coming year.
But this year, another Taoist priest came.
It is said that Ling Yunzi, the master of the temple, is in poor health, so his junior disciple performs the method on his behalf. The Taoist priest's Taoist name is Wuwei, which means to let nature take its course and still have some cultivation.
Although it was late at night, the lights were brightly lit.
In front of the Dragon King Temple, there are incense candles in the cauldron.
There was a Taoist holding a magic sword and a bell in his hand, dancing with his sword, ringing the bell, and praying to heaven in front of the Dragon King Temple.
The sound of drums on the side was accompanied by the sound of drums, as a sign of legality.
"Burn incense!"
As the bell stopped, Taoist Wuwei breathed out the true fire and lit the incense candle.
After three bows, Taoist Wuwei inserted the three large incense sticks in his hand into the cauldron, calmly put away his sword, and the ritual ceremony was considered over.
Then the people who worship the Dragon King can go to burn incense and pray.
For a time, the old dragon temple was full of incense and lively.
Ruyi withdrew her gaze, looked at Uncle Chen and said, "Uncle Chen, are there any immortals among the Taoist priests in Qingxian Temple?"
Chen Changsheng asked: "Does Ruyi think there is?"
Ruyi shook his head and said: "I don't think so. Ruyi has always felt that these Taoist priests may be able to talk to gods, but they cannot be said to be gods."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "The Taoism is comprehensive, if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it."
After finishing the candied haws, Cihua blinked and said, "Believe it or not, Cihua also wants to hear it."
Ruyi said: "I have already said it, Li Hua will listen to it next time."
After finishing the ritual, Taoist Wuwei was about to take his disciples back to the mountain.
As his eyes moved, he suddenly paused and stopped at a certain position.
Taoist Wuwei looked through the crowd and saw a cat standing on a certain woman's shoulder.
A golden light of meaning flashed in his eyes, and he frowned immediately.
"evildoer!"
The master among the disciples on the side was stunned and called out: "Master?"
"You guys should find a place to rest first and come back as soon as you go as a teacher."
Taoist Wuwei put his hand on the sword at his waist, and then walked towards the crowd.
The civet cat standing on Ruyi's shoulder seemed to have noticed something. The feeling of being watched made it very uncomfortable, but under the cover of the crowd, it could not find who it was.
The civet cat looked at Chen Changsheng and whispered, "Someone is looking at the civet cat."
Ruyi asked: "Who is looking at you?"
Cihua shook her head, she didn't know either.
Chen Changsheng turned around and looked.
He saw a Taoist priest walking towards here among the crowd.
It was the one who did the work just now.
Chen Changsheng turned around and said, "It's the Taoist priest who did it just now."
"I'm afraid the person who came here is evil."
Ruyi paused and said, "Then should we leave first?"
"Don't worry, everything will be fine as long as Chen is here. Ruyi still has to go to the temple to offer incense."
