There are many attractions to visit in Yun Province.
There is a very famous mountain outside the city. Every autumn, countless literati and scholars climb the mountain for autumn outing.
Cheng Wanwan took more than ten people from Zhao's family to climb a mountain. In the October season, the autumn air was crisp, and everyone felt very relaxed climbing from the bottom of the mountain to the top.
She stood on the highest peak, overlooking the entire Yun Province. The feeling of seeing so many small mountains made her feel infinitely heroic.
Once upon a time, when she was still a modern person, the original motivation for making money was to travel around the world. She was a person who loved traveling.
But in ancient times, transportation was extremely inconvenient, and the idea of traveling disappeared day by day.
"The provincial capital is really big." Old Mrs. Zhao stood beside her. "The farthest place I have been to is Hekou County. I thought Hekou County was very lively. Then I went to Huzhou and felt that Huzhou is really amazing. Now I just You know, it’s still the largest and most prosperous provincial capital.”
Old Man Zhao took over the words and said: "Only when we go to the capital one day will you know what prosperity is."
There was a look of expectation on Mrs. Zhao's face. She was sixty this year, and she didn't know if she could wait until such a day.
"When I was just climbing the mountain, I heard people say that there is a hundred-year-old temple on the mountain. Praying to God and worshiping Buddha is very helpful." Mrs. Sun was panting and holding her son who was unwilling to walk in her arms, "Let's go over and ask Sidan for a Number One Scholar Talisman. By the way, I also want to ask for one for Xuanxuan. From now on, if our Zhao family has two number one scholars, that will be the most glorious thing!"
Mrs. Zhao immediately nodded: "This century-old temple has received a lot of incense. It must be very effective. Go and pay homage to it."
Donghua pouted: "I don't believe this, I won't go..."
"If you don't want to go, you have to go!" Mrs. Sun freed up a hand to hold her arm, "You are already a grown-up, and you are about to marry your in-laws. I will seek a marriage for you and marry a good husband in the future."
Donghua's face fell: "I'm only twelve after the Chinese New Year, and no one in the village will talk about my husband's family at the age of twelve, okay?"
"Can't you tell me in advance?" Mrs. Sun glared at her, "Go if you are told, and don't talk so much nonsense."
A large group of people walked towards the temple.
Everyone has something in their heart: to make a fortune in business, to have great things in life, to have good studies, to have good health...
This is a temple with a history of about two to three hundred years. It is located among the mountains and forests at the top of the mountain. The outer wall has been slightly peeled off by wind and rain, but it shows its growth rings and vicissitudes, making people feel solemn in their hearts.
Cheng Wanwan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but her soul has traveled from another world thousands of years later. Even if she doesn't believe it, she will still be in awe.
This is the oldest temple in Yun Province. There are countless people who come to pray to God and worship Buddha. The long 100-story steps at the entrance of the temple are full of people, slowly moving up.
After arriving here, the crowd automatically quieted down.
They followed the crowd up the stairs and walked for about half an hour before finally arriving at the main entrance of the temple.
When you arrive at the door, you can pay for the incense, then go in to worship the gods, or go to the side to ask for fortune-telling. There are also special marriage halls and child-seeking halls... Every hall is full of people.
Cheng Wanwan knelt in front of the Buddha, holding three sticks of incense in his hand and closed his eyes.
I just want your family to be safe and healthy.
She kowtowed sincerely, then stood up and inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner.
After she finished praying, she turned around and found that Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Wen, and Mrs. Sun were all silently reciting their requests, first request, second request, third request...
After a while, they finished their bows. The woman had finished her bows. Old man Zhao, Zhao Youyin, and Zhao Youcai also came in to pay their respects.
Mrs. Sun took her son to the place where people were asking for signatures and said, "I'm going to ask for Xuanxuan's signatures."
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly shouted: "Please hold Xuanxuan for me, don't squeeze the child."
"That won't work. I have to ask the master to look at Xuan Xuan's face." Sun said without looking back, "You guys hang around for a while, I'll be back soon."
Wenshi said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll follow you and nothing will happen."
The two of them walked to a crowded place one after the other.
Cheng Wanwan took Mrs. Zhao and the girls Xia Hua for a walk behind the temple.
There are no gods in the back, so it looks much cleaner. Some ladies from big families have already booked side rooms to have a place to rest.
They came temporarily and could only sit on the stone benches in the yard.
Cheng Wanwan and Mrs. Zhao were chatting when they suddenly saw a group of servants walking to the door of a wing in the backyard surrounded by a lady.
The young monk who was responsible for leading the way pushed open the door of the wing and said respectfully: "This is the only wing left. Mrs. Tang will make do with it a little bit. When the courtyard becomes available, I will arrange it for Mrs. Tang as soon as possible."
Cheng Wan curled his fingers and paused.
Mrs. Tang... The lord Dusi in the provincial capital is named Tang.
Could this be Lord Touji's wife?
She asked Cheng Jia to install a lot of bugs in the Tang family. Sometimes she would listen in these days, and most of the time it would be Mrs. Tang talking to her servants.
Mrs. Tang came to the temple to pray for God, probably to seek a good future for her son, because her son also participated in the provincial examination. Before the results were announced, any mother would be anxious. She came to the temple to pray for peace of mind.
Mrs. Tang was devoted to seeking a future for her son, but she did not hear anything secretive.
Later, she asked Cheng Jia to change the location of the bug, mainly placing it within the range of activities of Master Du Si Tang. It might be possible to hear something.
"Mom, sister-in-law!" Mrs. Sun rushed over with excitement on her face, "The master said that our Xuanxuan has the fate of being a scholar. From now on, we will rely on the ink in our stomachs to eat. Doesn't this mean that Xuanxuan will be admitted to the top prize in the future? !”
Mrs. Zhao said angrily: "The fortune tellers who write letters to people on the street also rely on the ink in their stomachs to make a living. Why, the fortune teller is the number one scholar?"
"Mom, Xuanxuan is your grandson, why don't you expect to order Xuanxuan." Mrs. Sun was very shocked, "I don't care, Xuanxuan is the Wenquxing who came to earth, and he will definitely be the number one scholar in the future!"
Cheng Wanwan glanced sympathetically at Zhao Mingxuan, who still didn't understand anything. This child would suffer a lot from now on.
"By the way, I seemed to have seen an acquaintance just now." Wen Shi frowned and said, "But there were too many people, so I don't know if I saw it wrong."
Mrs. Sun asked anxiously: "Who did you see?"
"She seems to be Shagen's wife." Wenshi paused and said, "She is dressed in silk and satin, gold and silver, and there are two maids around her to serve her. She and Shagen get five hundred taels of incense money... The daughters-in-law look exactly the same, but will Shagen’s daughter-in-law be so stylish?”
Cheng Wanwan was a little surprised.
Shagen's wife, Sun Shuiqin, couldn't stay in the village anymore after she cooperated with Shopkeeper Hu from Wanquan County to steal her cotton business.
Later, Sun Shuiqin abandoned her husband and Shang's infant daughter and disappeared. This was more than two years ago.
She thought she would never hear anything about Sun Shuiqin again in her life, but she didn't expect that she would meet him in the provincial capital.
"I don't know if I'm wrong." Wen said uncertainly, "How about I go and confirm it again?"
Mrs. Sun put the child into Mrs. Zhao's hands, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let's go and have a look together. This little girl just left when she said she wanted to, and left her alone to take care of her daughter. It was so heartless. I have to teach this heartless bitch a lesson for Shagen!"
"Okay, don't cause trouble." Old Mrs. Zhao frowned, "Didn't you hear what your second sister-in-law said? She wears gold and silver now, and is always waited on when she goes out. Can you afford to offend me? Check it from a distance and see what it is. It’s okay if it’s not her. If you dare to cause trouble, I won’t take you with me when I travel far from home.”
