shock!She can travel through time

It is not easy to go to the temple from Linjiazhuang. The nearest Yelingdun temple requires a long mountain road.

Today, the temple fair that Qin and others asked Lin Wanwan to go to is in Yelingdun Temple.

From the ninth to the fifteenth day of each month, there are seven days in Yelingdun Temple, where department stores gather, which is called a temple fair.

Riding a horse can only go to the foot of the mountain, and then you have to store the horse in the carriage and horse stable at the foot of the mountain, and climb up the mountain on foot.

Ordinarily, the incense in temples with such inconvenient transportation should not work, but on the contrary, the temple in Yelingdun is surprisingly prosperous.Every time devout men and women go to burn incense, they can encounter temples that are being expanded.

All this stems from the behavior of a few successful students who came out of the school in the temple to feed back the temple.

There is an old monk in the temple who is comparable to a great Confucianism, and his teaching level is very high, which brings the temple's elementary school education level and imperial examination luck to a high level.

Any poor family with a little bit of pursuit will try their best to send their children to study in the primary school of this temple. Under the chain reaction, the incense here will become very prosperous.

As I said before, the entertainment venues in Datang are very scarce, and there are no Liyuan, teahouse storytellers, etc., so far.

Gymnasiums and temples undertake many functions such as schools, hospitals, hotels, bathhouses, gymnasiums, funeral parlors, cemeteries, etc., and are the favorite places for people in the Tang Dynasty to go for leisure and entertainment.

The monthly temple fair attracts pilgrims and vendors to gather here.

Sometimes some goods made by farmers, such as bamboo fans and rattan chairs, are traded at the temple fair here, and there are more people than the square market in the town.

The Qin family, the Qian family and the others just thought that the Chinese New Year was coming, so they came to the temple fair here to buy some new year's goods.

As for Lin Wanwan, she was just here to watch the excitement, and she was idle anyway.

In the Daxiong Hall of the Yelingdun Temple, two middle-aged monks with square faces are giving a lecture.

Commonly speaking, it is to tell stories in popular language, a bit like modern cross talk, and a bit like teahouse storytellers in later generations.

This is a Buddhist feature unique to the Tang Dynasty. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the popular lectures in temples were also cancelled.

For people from Tang Dynasty who don’t have much culture and entertainment, folk tales are very interesting, but for Lin Wanwan who lives in a modern society with information explosion, the stories told by monks can’t attract her attention at all.

After visiting the temple fair, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qian and the others hurried to the Daxiong Hall after they had bought enough necessities for the Spring Festival, and huddled among the crowd to listen to the vulgar talk.

And Lin Wanwan wandered around the temple alone with her servants, she didn't even need to take Xiao Qingyu with her, she had the female guard in Xingluo, Kunlun slave Ali and her personal maid to follow her.

So Lin Wanwan was not worried about Xiao Qingyu's safety, and let her find her friends to play with.

Today's Yelingdun Temple is really lively, the cries of selling are mixed with the incense, half of the people are born, and half of them are born into the world, which is very interesting.

Lin Wanwan wandered around and came to the polo field of the temple. Someone was playing polo here. There were people everywhere inside and outside the stands, and there were many itinerant vendors selling snacks and snacks among them.

This group of vendors are not all businessmen, there are many farmers who come out to set up stalls to subsidize their families.

Lin Wanwan bought a lot of mung bean cakes in front of a snack stall for women with children, and shared them with the slaves who followed.

She was not attracted by mung bean cakes, but by the appearance of a woman carrying a small one on her back and a big one tied around her waist.

To be precise, it was moved with compassion.

However, when she took a bite of mung bean cake, her eyes lit up instantly.

This pastry tastes good, Lin Wanwan's mansion Hua Nong is good at cooking, and Jiyue knows some pastries, but they are not as delicious as the mung bean cake made by the woman in front of her.

"Is there brown sugar in it?" Lin Wanwan asked the woman in front of her.

The woman smiled shyly when she heard the words: "Young lady, I'm joking. I don't have such a precious brown sugar. I added a little caramel sugar to it."

"Oh, no wonder." Lin Wanwan nodded, "How old is your child?"

The woman replied: "The one on the back has just turned one year old, and the older one beside him is three years old this year."

"Boy or girl?" Lin Wanwan asked again, no wonder she had to ask, because children really can't tell their gender, especially the two in front of them are both dressed in the most neutral khaki cotton clothes.

"Both are daughters." When asked about their gender, the woman lowered her voice, "My uncle didn't have time to take them with me, so I brought them with me when I came to the temple fair. But luckily, they are very good. No noise."

Uncle is another name for in-laws in Datang, which means that the elders in the family don't like their granddaughters.

Lin Wanwan didn't comment on anything, and nodded lightly: "This mung bean cake tastes really good, I want the rest. But I don't have any tools at hand, so I will also sell your wooden box containing mung bean cake to me."

Lin Wanwan said something casually, and then winked at Hongyan behind her, who immediately stepped forward to inquire: "Ma'am, do you want good money or silk?"

Both of these are considered currency in Datang, and it is very common to pull a piece of cloth to pay the bill.

When spending large sums of money, copper coins are sometimes too heavy, so it is not as convenient to hold as silk.As for gold and silver, they basically do not circulate in the market.
The woman thanked her again and again: "This box was made by the slave's man who went into the mountain and cut down a tree. It's not worth anything. The wife will give me [-] yuan for the mung bean cake."

Lin Wanwan said to Hongyan: "Give her thirty dollars, and give her a piece of silk as the cost of the wooden box."

"No, no, no, no. The box is made by cutting wood at home, so it's not worth much." The woman repeatedly declined when she heard the words. An honest peasant woman is not used to taking advantage of the nobles, and she is afraid that she will not be able to afford it.

"It's okay, I'll take it for you." After saying that, Lin Wanwan walked away.

There is only so much she can help, and occasionally helping out on a whim won't change anything, just to make her happy.

Giving roses to others has a lingering fragrance in your hands.

Here, she finished shopping for the mung bean cake and was about to leave when a lady in brocade clothes bumped into her, grabbed her arm and shouted sharply, "Okay, so you're here, little bitch, so I'll find it easy for slaves!"

Lin Wanwan withdrew her hand sharply, and said coldly, "Who are you? You have admitted to the wrong person."

The woman was thrown away, and her triangular eyes immediately stood upright: "Admit the wrong person? Even if your low hoof is turned into ashes, the slave will not admit your mistake! Isn't it because you failed to climb the master's bed and were caught and beaten by the madam?" After a meal, you actually dared to take the money from the mansion and run away, see if I don’t arrest you and go to your wife to ask for family law!"

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, several strong men who looked like family servants who had been watching eagerly rushed over, and rushed away from Lin Wanwan, Ji Yue and Hongyan who were carrying the wooden box of mung bean cake.

This is already prepared!
