Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 114
"Miss, isn't this Guangji Temple very famous? Why are there so few people? There isn't even a sedan chair underneath."

Dongmei looked around, and there were only a few small business people who looked at them suspiciously. She couldn't help complaining, seeing that the middle of the mountain was not high, how could the young lady climb up.

"It's okay, since you are here to ask for the protection of the Buddha, you should be sincere."

Zhao Wanchun had already put on the veiled hat, her pretty face was covered by the veil, her tone was indifferent, showing no emotion or anger.Seeing this, the servant girl had no choice but to do so, several people followed behind, Dongmei supported her, and marched towards Guangji Temple.

This road is full of stone roads, winding and extending to the middle of the mountain. Each stone step is very high, so after walking a few steps and looking back down, I feel that it is very steep.

"Miss, didn't we find the wrong place? Didn't it mean that Guangji Temple is full of incense, even if it wasn't the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there wouldn't be so few people?"

"Yes, miss, shall we inquire?"

Zhao Wanchun grew up in an old mansion in the capital, and she came to Fengyang City not long ago. The maidservant also came here in Kyoto, so she is not very familiar with this place. Her aunt originally sent her a few maids, but she hated people. Too much upset, so I sent it back. Seeing that my servant girl was telling the truth, with doubts on her face, she nodded her head.

The second sister, Qing Qiang, was carrying the food box. She was ashamed to give such a heavy thing to Zhao Wanchun's maid. I also met Khan.

"Miss, let's take a rest first."

There was a stone platform at the corner ahead, and Dongmei saw that her young lady was sweating on her face, so she hurriedly prepared a handkerchief, and asked the little girl to bring over a bowl of tea to quench her thirst.

Qingli didn't feel tired, but she always felt that this Guangji Temple revealed mystery and weirdness. The old monk who gave her the jade pendant was from this place, and there was an endless stream of people every day who heard about the incense and its efficacy. Not so.

Just at this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a woodcutter came down from Dushan Mountain, with a cotton towel around his neck and a lot of firewood on his back.

"Old man, do you dare to ask if there is Guangji Temple on the mountain? Why don't you see any other pilgrims?"

Dongmei stepped forward and asked politely.

"You ladies are from out of town. Guangji Temple has been closed recently and will not open to the public until September [-]th. It seems that an eminent monk in the temple has passed away and has been busy performing ceremonies recently."

The woodcutter carefully looked at the attire of several people, and the ones who looked different from the nearby villages should have come from Fengyang City and other places.

"Miss, do you see?"

Dongmei drooped her head. Do you want to wait until September [-]th? At that time, the lady should return to Fengyang City. There are many temples in Fengyang City, but none of them are as famous as Guangji Temple. This time, the lady came here to seek marriage. , Immediately, the marriage will be settled soon, and I want to have a good home, so I can only pray for the Buddha to appear.

"In this case, let's go back. It's not convenient for us to go if the eminent monk passes away."

Zhao Wanchun tapped the beads of sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and then said to Qingli and the others, "Sisters, it's all my fault that I chose such a day for you to make this trip for nothing."

"Sister Chun'er, how can I blame you for this, it's just that we didn't know in advance."

The second sister Qing Qiang shook her head, although this matter is a bit regrettable, but Zhao Wanchun can't be blamed for going there, it's because the official family lady's tutor is so good.

"Uncle, our young lady said that these melons, fruits and pastries will be given to you as a gift for a good relationship. Even though it is at the foot of the mountain, it can be regarded as a bit of incense."

Dongmei listened to Zhao Wanchun's low-pitched instructions, and then gave the woodcutter the basket of melon and fruit snacks she had brought. The second sister Qing Qiang followed suit, and after the woodcutter thanked her repeatedly, they went down the mountain.

It is said that going up the mountain is easy and going down is difficult, but Qing Li felt it was easier. The second sister Qing Qiang walked very quickly without any heavy objects in her hands.

"Why don't we go back to the town and have a good time, I'm the host today, let's go to the restaurant to have a meal."

"Okay, sister Chun'er, I can eat a lot."

"Don't worry, Dongmei has enough money!"

Zhao Wanchun didn't know why, but she fell in love with Qingli very much, and liked her very much the first time they met in Jixiang Cloth Village. She is a small person, and she speaks aggressively. The plain brocade of 50 taels of silver insists on being the master. Bought it for my elder sister without batting an eyelid. She is only seven years old, just the age who loves to eat and grab things, but she is a little different.

"By the way, it will be the ninth day of September in two days." Zhao Wanchun walked down the stone steps with Dongmei's men, and said to Qingli beside him, "At this time, it's time for crab fat, drink some chrysanthemum wine , It’s very beautiful, when the time comes, I’ll send someone to send you a basket of river crabs, and your family can also steam them for a taste.”

"Then thank you, Sister Chun'er, that's what rich people eat, and our family rarely eats it."

Thinking of river crabs, Qingli regained her spirits. This is one of her favorite foods, but crab seedlings were not harvested by the river in the village, and she didn’t know if they just didn’t exist. Listening to what Zhao Wanchun said now, my mouth is watering.

"It's nothing more than a basket of river crabs."

Zhao Wanchun waved his hand, and then told Dongmei to send someone to bring it over early, and add a jar of chrysanthemum wine, which is considered appropriate for the occasion.

The autumn colors in the mountains were particularly intense. On the way down the mountain, several people slowed down, looked around from time to time, stopped to rest, and watched the beautiful scenery around them. There were fiery red maple leaves in the distance, which made Zhao Wanchun feel better instantly When she got up, she directed a woman to collect a lot, saying that it would be used as a bookmark after drying, which is also interesting.

After several people went down the mountain, the coachman was a little surprised to see them coming back so soon. Dongmei explained the reason, and helped them get into the carriage.

On the way home, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Qingli kept asking about the restaurants in the town. She had never been there, but Dongmei was familiar with it, so she introduced several famous restaurants, one of which was Heyuelou, a time-honored restaurant , the reputation is very good, the price is fair, and the specialty is the sauce-flavored elbow flower.

Qingli swallowed, and felt her stomach growling again. There were still some snacks on the carriage, so she ate a few cushions for the most hungry.

Dongmei is introducing the cuisine of Kyoto. The special dishes of each restaurant are rare. After finishing talking, she introduces some snacks. They were chatting happily when the carriage stopped suddenly.
