The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 4: The largest commercial complex in Bianliang

The more you get along with Zheng Ping, the more Yun Yanhui feels that Zheng Ping is a very good woman, not omnipotent, but very cute.

—Unfortunately, it became his mother.

Zheng Ping is very caring for her son and her adopted children. Not only does she have superb tapestry and embroidery skills, she is also full of fun in life, and she is willing to do things that make people happy within her capacity.

After returning to a stable life, Zheng Ping took some time, in addition to the calligraphy and silk from Yunyan, she also embroidered Shuangyi's embroidery on a circle of lace, then stretched it with a bamboo frame and hung it in the bedroom. On the wall.

She doesn't sell her good skills outside, but she is very willing to use it at home. This kind of decoration also reminds Yun Yan of the photo wall made by modern people.

As for Shuangyi, as a child, he gradually adapted to the life here and forgot his previous anxiety.

Shuang Yi and Hu Sanniang’s daughter Liu Ye have become good sisters. Liu Ye’s father opened a shop on the street, so Liu Ye will not only learn embroidery with Hu Sanniang, but also play in her father’s shop in his spare time. .

This made Shuang Yi very envious. She basically could not go out. Even when she was around the yard, Zheng Ping would open the door to ensure that she was within her sight.

In fact, Zheng Ping is not forbidden to go out to play with Shuangyi. She is just worried about Shuangyi's safety. Shuangyi is smaller than Liuye and didn't grow up here. If no one is following, it's fine to be around. Next to Kaifeng Mansion, there are still some old neighbourhoods, but what should I do if I run away?

Shuangyi was not born to Zheng Ping, but Zheng Ping raised it!

Zheng Ping was washing clothes, and Shuangyi squatted at the door to talk to Liu Ye after he had practiced the acupuncture technique.

Liu Ye is at the gate of the courtyard. She is going to deliver food to her father. She can take the opportunity to play on the street for a while. Now she is telling Shuangyi that she is going to focus on the stall that sells straw weaving stuff that she didn't finish shopping a few days ago.

Shuang Yi was so envious that he waved goodbye to Liu Ye.

She looked back and found that Yan Ge'er was lying on the bed quietly endorsing.

Zheng Ping gave Yun Yan back to Kaimeng and told him to read Qianbaisan. It didn't take long for Yun Yan to "learn", and what he was striving for now was to learn. But maybe he had walked too much before crossing, Yun Yan returned to the present, he would never sit if he could lie down, and he would never stand if he could sit.

Shuang Yi glanced over, Yan Ge'er was lying on the bed, and Xiao Bao was sitting next to him. Brother Yan's hand was still stretched out in front of Xiaobao, Xiaobao grabbed his fingers and smashed to play, having fun and chewed his fingers wet. Sometimes Xiao Bao wanted to crawl under the bed, so Brother Yan would stop Xiao Bao with his feet without moving his head.

Shuang Yi walked over, rescued Ge Yan’s hand from Xiaobao’s mouth, wiped it clean, and said to him, “Ge Ge’er, you know, there is a stall on the way Liu Ye went to his father’s shop. They are all sold with straw bunnies and little bunnies, as well as bugs..."

That is, in the Song Dynasty, the people can still set up street stalls.

Yun Yan said back, "Tell my mother to take you."

Shuang Yi glanced at Zheng Ping, who was drying her clothes outside the yard, and whispered, "No more. Mother is very busy."

Shuangyi already regards Zheng Ping as his mother, but because of her character, she is embarrassed to trouble people.

Yun Yan said that he hadn't felt it for a long time, but he could understand the child's nature. He got up from the bed and picked up a few pieces of white scraps in Zheng Ping's sewing basket. This is Zheng Ping's plan to make his pants for him. Of.

Shuang Yi was stunned, seeing Yun Yan walking back to Zheng Ping, and said, "Mother, Shuang Yi needs a baby."

In fact, he can origami. Once a classmate’s elder was a kindergarten teacher. Several of their classmates helped to fold some goldfish, paper cranes, flowers and the like according to the tutorials, but now he has no strength in his hands and he hasn’t gone out for fear of being asked. How could it happen.

So, let’s look at the materials and toys available at home. Girls should like dolls.

"Brother Yan!" Shuang Yi shouted, blushing, and whispered, "I don't want a baby..."

Huh, straw toys are better than rag dolls? The price/performance ratio shouldn't be high, it fell apart after playing in his memory... But if Shuangyi wants...

Yun Yan replied, "Oh, Shuangyi wants the straw little bird that Willow said."

Shuangyi: "..."

Zheng Ping suddenly felt that she was negligent. Even if Yan Geer and Shuangyi didn’t mention it, she should remember to buy them some new toys regularly, but those were purchased together in Ciyouzhuang, and no one mentioned them after returning. I didn't even think of it for a while. It's rare that Ge Yan is more thoughtful than her, so he wiped his hands and took the material quickly, "The straw **** will buy all three of you next month, and my mother will sew a rag doll for Shuangyi."

"Thank you mother...Thank you brother Yan." Shuang Yi couldn't refuse this temptation at all. She still remembered that this was to make the fabric for the bottom of the pants for Ge Yan, and now she was making a doll for her.

Seeing Shuang Yi turning around next to Zheng Ping uncontrollably expectantly, Yun Yan stepped back on the Hu bed and climbed onto the bed, smoothly fishing Xiao Bao to the inside of the bed. I thought to myself, for the sake of little loli's happiness, what if I run naked without wearing my pants...

Zheng Ping sewed a rag doll for Shuangyi. The licorice inside made the doll chubby. The facial features were painted on it.

Shuang Yi likes it so much, it seems that he can hold it in sleep at night, and when Willow leaves come back, he will take it to her to admire it.

When Zheng Ping saw Shuangyi like this, she also thought about it. She is now steadily picking up the job in Xiuxiang. There is only one parent in the family, so she can't ignore the lives of the children.

So, a few days later, Zheng Ping told Yunyanhui and Shuangyi that a few days later it would be the eighth day of April, the Buddha Bathing Festival. On this day, there will be a fast meeting in various temples and monasteries. Then she will go to Xiuxiang to deliver the goods. By the way, take Yunyanhui and Shuangyi to the Daxiangguo Temple next to it.

As for Xiaobao, he has to take care of Hu San's family.

Shuangyi heard what the festival was, just thinking that it must be very lively. Although Yunyanhui doesn't know much about the Bathing Buddha Festival, it should be a festival in the Buddhist world. He also knows the Daxiangguo Temple. He spent dozens of yuan on tickets when traveling in Kaifeng. This place is incredible.

In the "Water Margin", Lu Zhisheng drooping willows and willows is here, and Di Qing's refuge is also here. The story is endless. Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi, Fan Zhongyan, Wu Daozi... countless celebrities and scholars have entered and exited here.

Today, Daxiangguo Temple has been an ancient temple for hundreds of years, and it is also the largest temple in Bianliang, which is highly respected by the royal family.

It is said that the ancient Tibetan temple in the deep mountains, Daxiangguo Temple is different, it is located in the center of Bianliang.

Xiao Shuangyi thinks that the street where Liu Ye passed by her father is the most prosperous place in Tokyo? Wrong! The most prosperous place in the capital of this era is Daxiangguo Temple!

Not to mention festivals and festivals, Daxiangguo Temple has five super-large temple fairs that can be traded by all surnames every month. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism was advocated. Temple fairs were originally organized by believers for various Buddhist activities. Because vendors gathered to provide a large number of believers with goods, ordinary people gradually came to participate, thus forming today's temple fairs, both official and private.

The temple fair of Daxiangguo Temple is the leader of various temple fairs in Bianliang, integrating shopping, leisure, entertainment, and Zen meditation. It is the largest commercial complex in Bianliang.

If you have read some classical novels and legends, you can know that there have been many stories at the temple fair of Daxiangguo Temple.

The Daxiangguo Temple today is definitely different from what Yun Yanhui saw after a thousand years. Daxiangguo Temple has been rebuilt and expanded many times in history. Because it was too big, Yunyan rushed back to other scenic spots back then, and didn't stay there for long.

Now that I have the opportunity to take a look again, Yun Yan is still looking forward to his return. It is amazing how he visited the places he visited in the Northern Song Dynasty thousands of years later.

Yun Yan had been to Daxiangguo Temple somehow before crossing, but Shuangyi had never been there. Zheng Ping told her about the grand occasion when Daxiangguo Temple held the temple fair while taking silk.

Compared with the grand occasion of the temple fair at Daxiangguo Temple, Yunyanhui is even more curious about the monks in the temple. According to the information, the monks in the Tang and Song Dynasties were relatively secular, and there were even those who became rich in business and even opened brothels. I don't know what is going on in the royal temple of Daxiangguo Temple.
