The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 4: Bianliang’s largest commercial complex
The more she gets along with Zheng Ping, the more Yun Yanhui thinks that Zheng Ping is a very good woman, not omnipotent, but very cute.
——It's a pity that it became a motherfucker.
Zheng Ping is very caring for her son and adopted daughter. Not only does she have superb Kesi and embroidery skills, but she is also full of life interest, and is willing to do some things that make people happy within her power.
When life stabilized after returning, Zheng Ping took some time to tie Yun Yanhui's Mobao Kesi, Shuang Yi's embroidered kesi, and then wrapped it up with a bamboo frame. Hang it on the bedroom wall.
She doesn't sell her good skills to the outside world, but she is willing to use them at home. This way of decoration also reminds Yunyan of the photo walls made by modern people.
As for Shuang Yi, as a child, he gradually got used to the life here and forgot his previous anxiety.
Shuang Yi and the next door Hu Sanniang's daughter Liu Ye have become good sisters. Liu Ye's father opened a shop on the street, so in addition to learning embroidery with Hu Sanniang, Liu Ye will also go to her father's shop in his spare time to play in.
This makes Shuang Yi very envious. She basically can't go out. Even if she is around the yard, Zheng Ping will open the door to ensure that she is within her sight.
Actually, it's not that Zheng Ping doesn't allow Shuangyi to go out to play, but she is worried about Shuangyi's safety. Shuangyi is smaller than Liu Ye, and she 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 neighborhoods, but what if they run far away?
Shuangyi was not born by Zheng Ping, but raised by Zheng Ping!
Zheng Ping was doing laundry, and after Shuang Yi practiced needlework, she squatted at the door and talked to Liu Ye.
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 shopping for straw-woven stuff that she did not finish shopping a few days ago. 's stall.
Shuang Yi was so envious that she waved goodbye to Liu Ye.
She looked back and saw that Brother Yan was lying on the bed and whispering an endorsement.
Zheng Ping gave Yun Yan back to Kaimeng and told him to read Qianbaisan. It didn't take long for Yunyan to "learn" it, and now she is fighting for memorization. But maybe it was because he had walked too much before crossing, Yun Yanhui would never sit if he could lie down, and would never stand if he could.
Shuang Yi glanced over, Brother Yan was lying on the bed, and Xiao Bao was sitting beside him. Brother Yan's hand was still stretched out in front of Xiaobao, and Xiaobao grabbed his fingers and played with them. He had so much fun and even gnawed his fingers wet. Sometimes Xiaobao wanted to crawl under the bed, but Brother Yan stopped Xiaobao with his feet without moving his head.
Shuang Yi walked over, rescued Brother Yan's hand from Xiaobao's mouth, wiped it clean, and said to him: "Brother Yan, you know, Liu Ye was on the way to his father's shop, there was a A stall that sells strawberries, birds, rabbits, and bugs..."
In the Song Dynasty, people could still set up street stalls.
Yunyan replied, "Ask my mother to take you there."
Shuang Yi glanced at Zheng Ping, who was drying clothes outside the yard, and whispered, "No. Mother is very busy."
Shuang Yi has already regarded Zheng Ping as her own mother, but she is just because of her personality, so I'm embarrassed to trouble people.
Yun Yan recalled that he hadn't felt it for a long time, but he could understand the nature of a child. He got up from the bed and picked up a few white scraps in Zheng Ping's sewing basket. This is what Zheng Ping was going to give him. For trousers.
Shuang Yi was stunned when she saw Yun Yan walking back to Zheng Ping and said, "Mother, Shuang Yi needs a doll."
Actually, he knows how to origami. There used to be some classmates whose elders were kindergarten teachers. Several of their classmates helped to fold some goldfish, paper cranes, flowers, etc. according to the tutorial. Afraid of being asked how.
So take the next step, look at the existing materials at home, if it is toys, girls should like dolls.
"Brother Yan!" Shuang Yi shouted, blushing, and whispered, "I don't want dolls..."
Hey, straw toys are better than dolls? The price/performance ratio shouldn't be too high, it fell apart as soon as he played in his memory... But if Shuang Yi wanted it...
Yunyan replied: "Oh, Shuangyi wants the straw-woven bird that Liu Ye said."
Shuangyi: "..."
Zheng Ping suddenly felt that she was negligent. Even if Yan Ge'er and Shuang Yi didn't mention it, she should remember to buy them some new toys on a regular basis, but those used to be purchased together in the Salesian Village. No one thought of it for a while. It's rare that Brother Yan is more thoughtful than her, so she quickly wiped her hands and took the material, "The straw braided bird will buy all three of you next month, and mother will sew a doll for Shuang Yi first."
"Thank you mother...Thank you Brother Yan." Shuang Yi couldn't resist the temptation at all. She still remembered that this was the fabric for Brother Yan's pants, and now she will make her a doll.
Seeing that Shuang Yi can't hide her anticipation and turns beside Zheng Ping to see her flying needles, Yun Yanhui stepped on the Hu bed and climbed onto the bed, and took the little treasure to the inside of the bed. I thought to myself, oh, for the sake of little loli, what if I don't wear pants and run naked...
Zheng Ping sewed a rag doll for Shuangyi, which was filled with licorice, so that the doll was chubby, and the facial features were painted on.
Shuang Yi likes it so much, it seems that she can hold it when she sleeps at night, and when Liu Ye comes back, she even takes it to her to appreciate it.
Zheng Ping thought about Shuangyi when she saw Shuangyi like this. Now she has been stably picking up jobs in Xiuxiang, and there is only one parent in the family, so she can't ignore the lives of the children.
So, after a few days, Zheng Ping told Yunyan Hui and Shuangyi that in a few days it would be the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the Buddha Bathing Festival. On this day, every temple and monastery had a fasting meeting, and then she would go to Xiuxiang. Delivery, by the way, take Yunyan back and Shuangyi to the nearby Daxiangguo Temple.
As for Xiaobao, I have to ask Hu San's family to take care of her.
Shuang Yi heard what festival it was, and only thought that it must be very lively. Although Yun Yanhui doesn't know much about the Bathing Buddha Festival, the famous business should be a festival in the Buddhist world. He also knows about the Daxiangguo Temple. Back then, he spent dozens of yuan in tickets for tourism in Kaifeng. This place is incredible.
In "Water Margin", Lu Zhishen pulls the willow tree down here, and Di Qing took refuge here. The stories are endless. Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi, Fan Zhongyan, Wu Daozi... There are countless famous scholars who come and go here.
Today, Daxiangguo Temple has been an ancient temple for hundreds of years. It is also the largest temple in Bianliang, and is highly respected by the royal family.
It is said that there are ancient temples hidden in the mountains, but the Daxiangguo Temple is different. It is located in the city center of Bianliang.
Xiao Shuangyi thinks that the street market Liu Ye passed by when she went to her father's place is the most prosperous place in Tokyo? wrong! The most prosperous place in the capital of this era is the Daxiangguo Temple!
Don't mention festivals and festivals, Daxiangguo Temple has five large temple fairs that can be traded by all surnames five times a month. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism was advocated. The temple fairs were originally held by believers to hold various Buddhist activities. Because of the gathering of merchants to provide commodities for a large number of believers, ordinary people gradually came to participate, so today’s temple fairs have been formed, both official and private.
The temple fair of Daxiangguo Temple is a leader among various temple fairs in Bianliang. It integrates shopping, leisure, entertainment, meditation and many other functions. It is the largest commercial complex in Bianliang.
If you have read some classical novels and legends, you will know that there are many stories that happened at the temple fair of the Daxiangguo Temple.
The Daxiangguo Temple today is definitely different from what Yunyan Hui saw a thousand years later. Historically, the Daxiangguo Temple has been rebuilt and expanded many times. Because it was too big, Yunyan didn't stay there for too long when he rushed back to other scenic spots.
Now that I have the opportunity to take a look again, Yun Yan is looking forward to returning. He visited the places he visited in the Northern Song Dynasty thousands of years later, how amazing.
Yunyan had been to the Daxiangguo Temple before returning to the crossing, but Shuangyi had never been there at all. Zheng Ping told her about the grand occasion when the Daxiangguo Temple held a temple fair while she was wearing Kesi.
Compared with the grand temple fair of Daxiangguo Temple, Yunyan Hui is more curious about the monks in the temple. In the past, according to the data, the monks in the Tang and Song Dynasties were relatively secular, and there were even some who got rich through business and even opened brothels. I don't know what's going on in the royal temple of Daxiangguo Temple.
