The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 92: Snow Temple Fair

Starting on the second day of the small year, the ice and snow temple fair of Daxiangguo Temple, which will last for three days, has opened.

This time the Ice and Snow Temple Fair was different. It was a completely new thing, and no one could guess how effective it was, so it was particularly eye-catching.

Zhao Yunchu originally wanted to go to the appointment happily, but the princess twisted his ear and didn't let him go first, saying that today she and her three brothers were going too, including the family of his eldest brother and second brother, but the prince did not show up.

Zhao Yunchu was not happy, and emphasized: "I made an appointment with Brother Yan..."

"It's good to have an appointment," the princess was very unhappy, "what are you anxious to do at this moment, it's not that we don't know Brother Yan, what's wrong with going together, just meet up together."

Zhao Yunchu was wilted, two people went to the temple fair to eat, and a group of people went to the temple fair to eat, how could it be the same?

But under the pressure of A-Niang, he could only obediently stay and wait for them to set off, and then watch them unhurriedly load things into the car, so he was very anxious to go to the Daxiangguo Temple, why? To take so many things.

After finally getting ready, Zhao Yunchu jumped into the car and told the driver to drive faster.

The princess tapped him on the head, "Don't be impatient."

Also called the driver to be safe and slow.

The Ice and Snow Temple Fair also limited the number of visitors, because the experience of the food festival told them that it would be terrible to not limit the number of people. But the princess and the others are definitely not among the restrictions, and they won't be able to enter the venue if they go later.

As soon as I entered the Daxiangguo Temple, I felt the theme of this temple fair. Ice sculptures rose from the ground and stood everywhere in the temple. The big one is like a house, or it can be shaped like a Buddha, or it can be a slide for people to play. The small ones are like slaps, staying in small corners, there are Buddhist symbols such as lotus, and there are small animals such as cats and dogs. If you accidentally find them, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Some are independent, such as the dragon girl quietly chanting scriptures in front of the temple, which is integrated with the buildings in the temple. There are also group portraits, such as the ice sculptures of the Eighteen Arhats, lined up in a row, with great momentum.

These ice sculptures are based on the original building, very designed and located, very ingenious, not to mention their superb carving skills, lifelike.

More distinctive are the ice lanterns sold today.

The ingenious ice lanterns are hollowed out and placed with candles. Some of them seem to have been added with paint during production, so they have various colors. Such lamps and lanterns are really cold and watery, like frost in the moon.

Actually, according to the original idea, it was held at night like the Lantern Festival, and the ice sculptures should also be lit. At night, they would be lit up in panic, which is very beautiful.

It's just that this year's preparation time is not enough, and the training time for the craftsmen is very tight. Simply, it is left for the next year to study. At that time, you can also make larger ice sculptures, such as whole gardens, palaces and other ice buildings.

As soon as the princess entered the Daxiangguo Temple, she was amazed again and again, "It really took a lot of thought, you look at this Bing Guanyin statue, with a benevolent face and lifelike, really amazing skills."

The sons and daughters-in-law also echoed and praised.

Zhao Yunchu looked around in the crowd, absent-minded. There is a main stage here, and there will be performances at that time. He made an appointment with Brother Yan and met near the main stage, but he didn't seem to see Brother Yan for a while.

The main stage was also made of ice, with a carpet on it, and ice sculptures on both sides. In this fashion, only a few novice monks were on it.

Zhao Yunchu's eldest sister-in-law said with a smile: "Auntie, you should let the younger brother go to Brother Yan. I'm really afraid that he will be so absent-minded and what will he do if he falls."

The princess glanced at Zhao Yunchu, "Hey, go, remember to find and call Brother Yan."

Zhao Yunchu responded and hurried to the main stage.

At this time, Yun Yanhui was sitting behind the main stage, talking to Zhou Shuiniang about the precautions for the performance later. Although Zhou Shuiniang is very wealthy and does not perform easily, but with their relationship, it is still easy to invite her to perform.

Yun Yanhui sat on the ground uninhibitedly. Shui Niang was embarrassed to stand and look down, and she didn't sit down like him, so she had to squat aside in an elegant posture.

Shui Niang saw that Zhao Yunchu was coming, so she stood up with the ice cube beside her, "Uncle Yan, then I'll go first."

Yunyan finished speaking when she returned to this side, and then waved her hand, "Okay."

Zhao Yunchu just came to the side and had a face-to-face with Shui Niang. After the two bowed, Shui Niang turned to leave, and Zhao Yunchu helped Yun Yan back up, "Why are you sitting on the ground, it's very cold."

"It's not cold, I'm wearing thick clothes." Yun Yanhui's hand was still on his arm, "By the way, I've arranged to go to my house for lunch at noon, but it's just the two of us, it's not too lively. "

He has always felt that eating hot pot requires a lot of people to have an atmosphere, but it's a pity that today the monks here have to stick to their posts, and his family is in the old house.

Zhao Yunchu said sadly: "My aunt and my brothers and sisters are also here..."

"Then let's eat together," Yun Yan looked back at him, "Why are you so sad?"

Zhao Yunchu sucked his nose, "It's nothing."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yun Yanhui went with him to see the princess. The princess was chatting with a few acquaintances who happened to meet. Seeing them coming, she said hello to Yun Yanhui.

Yunyan invited the princess to come and eat the burial offering. The princess said regretfully: "I just promised to go to vegetarian food with them. Let's go, you juniors, go eat."

"Okay, next time I'll invite you and the prince to eat." Yun Yan looked back and saw that Zhao Yunchu and several brothers and sisters were fine.

Because the princess was going to go to the temple fair with other officials and wives, and sent away several juniors, Yunyan returned and led them to see the ice sculptures in the Daxiangguo Temple. He participated in the design of these ice sculptures throughout the process, so he was very familiar with it, and told the origin of each ice sculpture and the story behind the production.

With Yun Yanhui's eloquence, she naturally speaks in a hype and makes people listen with interest.

"Everyone look at this ice sculpture, this is the Yaksha from the Eight Heavenly Dragons, look at his face, isn't he very handsome? In fact, Yaksha is described in Buddhist scriptures in two forms, one is ugly and the other is ugly. Beautiful. In order to attract more female tourists and some male tourists with special hobbies, the craftsmen probably adopted the latter...”

After Yunyan replied, the Zhao family all laughed, especially seeing Zhao Yundi laughing very loudly, after all, he belongs to the part of male tourists who like special things. It's just that they don't think it's right to laugh and laugh, why are there still echoes?

Looking back, a lot of people behind me were laughing too...

“…”

Yun Yan Hui was also speechless. No wonder why he felt more and more crowded. Did everyone take him as a tour guide? After a rough look, at least dozens of people followed.

Because the Daxiangguo Temple is crowded with people today, there are many people who didn't know each other in the past, and they all heard Yunyan's speech.

As soon as I heard it, I couldn't help but slow down and follow them to listen to this little brother's explanation.

This is much better than the monks specially sent by the Daxiangguo Temple to stand next to the ice sculptures to explain!

Yunyan looked back at these people, and these people looked back at him embarrassedly.

How can this be done? It's just a comment, but you can still drive people away?

Yun Yanhui isn't so stingy...it just feels a little weird, so she cleared her throat and continued, "Look at this later, Naga..."

As a result, Yunyan returned to this side and formed a "tour group" organization, but it was much easier to bring than the tour group. The tour group was also worried that people would not keep up, but these people were where he went, Just follow them there automatically, and the number of people is increasing.

Afterwards, Yun Yanhui had to raise the volume so that the people behind could hear it clearly.

At noon, it was time to eat. Yun Yan took a sip of water and said loudly: "Everyone, I'll be here first, I want to eat!"

The tourists responded in disappointment, thanking him for his selfless dedication, and then dispersed.

Yun Yan Hui said to the few remaining people she really wanted to entertain: "Then go to my house now, I have prepared meals there."

However, except for Zhao Yunchu, everyone else said that they have other dishes they really want to try, so let's forget it today.

Yun Yan felt strange even back. He used to say that he had some new dishes, but these people are rushing to try it. Is this a change of nature?

But if the cow doesn't drink water, he can't press his head, he can only watch everyone disperse.

Zhao Yunchu thanked the third brother in his heart.

Because there were so many people, Brother Yan didn't notice it before. He was walking a little depressed, when Zhao Yundi came over, hooked his shoulders, and whispered, "Little brother, do you think we are redundant?"

Zhao Yunchu: "No, no."

"What would you stammer without you?" Zhao Yundi looked at him, "Don't regret it, I will give you a chance. If you admit that you are interested in Brother Yan, the third brother will help you and help your brothers and sisters go elsewhere. How about having dinner and keeping the two of you together?"

Zhao Yunchu: "!!!"

Zhao Yunchu hesitated for a long time, wondering whether he should admit that the third brother was playing with him? Suddenly seeing Zhao Yundi's strange smile on his face, he suddenly realized that he was really being tricked. Just his reaction, did he need to admit it verbally?

Zhao Yunchu said angrily: "Third brother, you are not a good person."

Zhao Yundi patted him on the shoulder, laughing until tears came out, "Hahahaha, don't worry, even if you say I'm not a good person, I'll help you, after all, you just admitted it."

……

Yun Yanhui took Zhao Yunchu to his house in Daxiangguo Temple, went to the fence in the yard first, and hugged Yun Beibei.

I didn't come back due to work for a long time before, but this time I came to live a few days earlier for the Ice and Snow Temple Fair. As soon as Yun Beibei saw him, he hugged him and refused to let him go. He also really misses Beibei himself, so he spends more time with Beibei when he is at home.

Zhao Yunchu also stood outside and said hello to Yun Beibei. He didn't dare to go in. It would be difficult for anyone other than Yun Yan Hui to hug him, and it would take a long time for Yun Yan to return to himself. That's all when I was a child, and now Beibei is too fat...

Nowadays, Yun Beibei is like a tyrant in the Daxiangguo Temple. Xiaobao who lives here often takes him out for a walk. Which monk has never been hugged by his leg and asked for something to eat, or he will not let it go. .

Xiaobao often goes to the place of understanding, which will let him bask in the sun in the yard. This fat man was basking in the sun with a shy stomach. His posture was not the same as when he was holding Brother Yan when he was a child.

As a result, people who want to find out will inevitably be harassed, which has become a regular sight in Daxiangguo Temple.

Where did Yun Yanhui know that there were rumors that it was something resembling a master. He comforted Bei Bei before going into the house to make a fire and set the hot pot on fire.

He had already prepared the bottom of the pot, and the pot was a mandarin duck pot specially made by the craftsman, with one flavor on one side.

"Look, this is called Mandarin Duck Pot, and we can eat it alone." Yun Yanhui felt very caring and introduced to Zhao Yunchu, "I have prepared a lot of vegetables, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, beef..."

In the beginning, Piao Xia Jing was only for braising rabbit meat, but what Yun Yanhui made was actually a mature hot pot, which can be used for anything.

But Zhao Yunchu couldn't listen to Yun Yanhui's introduction later, so the three words "鸳鸯 pot" were revolving in his mind.

A mandarin duck pot, a mandarin duck! Mandarin ducks! !

Looking at Brother Yan's normal appearance, it didn't seem like he was implying anything, but Zhao Yunchu couldn't help but think about it.

Mandarin duck, I'll give you back...

Just when Zhao Yunchu was thinking about something wrong, there was a knock on the door.

"Wait a moment." Yun Yan replied and went to open the door.

From where Zhao Yunchu was standing, he couldn't see who was outside the door. He saw Yun Yan froze after returning to the door, then turned his head and said helplessly: "Maybe I need to add two more sets of tableware."

Zhao Yunchu nervously said: "Don't! I don't want to eat with others!"

It's a bit rash, but this is a mandarin duck pot, so it's better for him and brother Yan to eat?

At this time, a handsome middle-aged man walked in outside, standing by the door with Yun Yanhui, and pointed at him, "Niezi, am I also someone else?"

Zhao Yunchu: "..."

Zhao Yunchu burst into tears, "Dad, why are you here..."

Today, everyone came to Daxiangguo Temple together, but his father didn't show up, but he suddenly appeared at this moment. If he can drive others away rudely, can he drive away his father too?

At this time, another young man appeared at the door, with a handsome face and a dignified arrogance. He walked in from between Zhao Yuanyan and Yun Yanhui, who were standing there, and smiled slightly: "I shouldn't be considered someone else. ."

"..." Zhao Yunchu wanted to cry even more, "Official, official family..."
