Some places on the street are full of people. There are people in several circles. There are children's laughter, sometimes warm cheers and applause. There are jugglers singing and dancing, performing a variety of juggling plays. It's very prosperous and lively.

Gu Qianqian walked east and west to have a look. It was like walking in a leisurely court. He felt strange about everything. He didn't want to think about conspiracy, blood feuds, and past debts. Such a simple pleasure was beyond his reach.

She picked up a lotus lamp on the shop and looked up. Although the lotus lamp was not exquisite, the petals on the palm sized low plate were stacked layer upon layer, which made it look like an atmospheric beauty.

"Do you want one, girl?" The lady of the lotus shop came up and said with a kind smile, "this lotus lamp can carry people's wishes and lead to the immortal lady. As long as the girl writes down her wishes, puts them into the lamp, and then releases the lotus lamp in the Wei River, her wish will be fulfilled."

Gu Qianqian's mouth rose. She looked at the lotus lamp in her hand and said in a soft voice, "who is the immortal lady?"

The old lady looked at Gu Qianqian carefully, then began to smile again and said, "the girl doesn't seem to be from Weishui village. No wonder she doesn't know that the Weishui lady came here with admiration?"

Gu Qianqian said with a smile: "I live in an inn not far away. When I see the excitement here, I come to have a look. Auntie, is there a grand event here?"

"I don't know. Today is the birthday of the eldest lady. Weishui village and several nearby villages celebrate the birthday of the eldest lady at this time of year. That's the scene in front of the girl." The old lady pours around.

"I see." Gu Qianqian looked around, then took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and put it into her hands. She said, "madam, I want this lotus lamp. You don't have to change the rest of the money. Tell me the story of the immortal lady."

"Ah." That big Niang immediately smile, vividly for Gu Qianqian speak up.

It turns out that at the end of the former dynasty, the people were in dire need of living, and there were refugees everywhere. Because of the prosperity of the capital, the refugees gradually fled to the outside of the capital, but the gate was closed, and no one could enter.

At this time, the emperor in Beijing was still dreaming of prosperity, singing and dancing, but outside the city, he was homeless and starving. At this time, the plague broke out among the refugees.

Because at the beginning no one paid attention to it, naturally no one noticed it. When it got out of hand, it was too late.

The plague spread quickly, and the people in the surrounding villages were not spared. After a large number of people fell ill, they could not stand up again. Jingli was also in a panic. They were afraid that the plague would spread into the city, so they sent people from the Taihu hospital and the five City Army department out of the city to stop the plague.

But the way they stopped it was too cruel. All the people who were infected with the plague were taken away by them, and then, together with those who died, they were either buried alive or burned alive.

At that time, more people died than on the battlefield.

It was at this time that a Taoist named Changsheng appeared. She claimed to be a monk who traveled all over the world to practice. When she came here, she could not bear to see her corpse lying in the wild. Just in time, she had a way to cure the plague and relieve the suffering of the people.

Fortunately, no one died of the plague after the appearance of the immortal Taoist nun and her treatment. Most of the soldiers and horses in Wucheng were evacuated, and the peace around them gradually recovered.

People are grateful to Taoist Changsheng. Some people reward her with a lot of money. Some people bring home vegetarian dishes. Some people kowtow to tears. Taoist Changsheng is determined not to accept them. She only says that this is a matter of merit and morality, and does not ask for anything in return.

The medical skill of the immortal Taoist was amazing, but she was only a girl in her twenties, and she was born as beautiful as a flower. Somehow, the news came to the ear of Ai Di of the former dynasty. The next day, there was an order to call the immortal Taoist into the palace to feel the pulse of Ai Di.

No matter how the people who practice Taoism break away from the secular world and look down on fame and wealth, they can only accept a word from the emperor.

Taoist aunt Changsheng went to Beijing. No one had seen her or heard of her.

If it wasn't for some people's memory, this person would have never appeared.

Some people say that Taoist Changsheng traveled around the world after she felt the pulse of Ai Di. Some say that Taoist Changsheng was favored by Ai Di and finally took off her Taoist robe to be the empress in the deep palace. Some say that Taoist Changsheng was imprisoned by Ai Di and finally rescued by a prince. There are different opinions, but in the end, it's all hearsay, it's just a joke of others.

The life and death of Taoist aunt Changsheng has become a mystery, and she has gradually faded in some people's memory, but after all, some people still remember her kindness, build a memorial temple for her, call her the immortal mother, and celebrate her birthday every year. Gradually, this habit has been passed down around here, and gradually become a custom

"So." Gu Qianqian turned the lotus cup in his hand and said with a smile, "this Taoist nun Changsheng is really a wonderful person. No wonder so many people love her. However, since there is a cure for the plague, why can't it be handed down in later generations, and everyone still turns pale after hearing the plague?""Ah, little girl, how can I know about a hundred years ago, but my ancestors did survive the plague." The old lady said with a smile, "girl, do you want to go to the back? There is a long table. You can write down your wish there. After a while, when the moon is in the middle of the sky, you can go to the Weihe River to put the lights on."

Gu Qianqian nodded with a smile, said a thank you, came to the back of the long table, above the pen and ink paper inkstone.

Gu Qianqian pressed down a piece of rice paper, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, put it to his lips, and after thinking for a while, he rolled up his sleeve and wrote a line on the paper.

Then she folded the paper, put it into the lotus lamp, and strolled leisurely around the night fair with the lamp in her hand, her eyes gliding slowly over the faces of passers-by.

At this time, Jiang Hanming was at the other end of the long street, holding a box of rouge powder in his hand.

"Does this elder brother want to buy Rouge for his wife?" The stall owner said with a smile.

Jiang Hanming was a little shy, but he still nodded. He awkwardly picked up a rouge and put it on the tip of his nose. He smelled it and wrinkled his nose. It was fragrant, but it was different from his daughter-in-law.

The fragrance of his daughter-in-law was very light. It was like the beginning of the morning, and it was like the light fragrance of flower dew, lingering on the tip of his nose, which made him yearn for it He did not know what Rouge his daughter-in-law used, but it was not so strong.

At this time, there are several big girls and their little wives pointing at Jiang Hanming, whispering and smiling vaguely. The girls without bun are still blushing secretly.

Jiang Hanming was ignorant of the things around him. He put down his rouge and said to the stall owner, "do you have any Rouge with a lighter flavor? Well, don't have such a strong aroma."

"Yes, of course!" The stall owner turned around and took out a box from the cupboard behind him and said, "young man, this box of red and blue Rouge was debugged by my daughter-in-law for ten days. You smell it, the taste is light."

Jiang Hanming took it up and sniffed it. He frowned and said, "it's not this kind of taste."

What is the flavor of the powder on the daughter-in-law's body? He should have asked her if he knew.

"Oh, are you buying Rouge for your wife?" There was a fragrant wind behind him. A soft, boneless jade hand smeared with Cardan reached up, took the rouge box from Jiang Hanming's hand, and said with a smile, "young master is really considerate, and I really envy your wife!"

At this time, someone whispered around:

"look, widow Guo has come out to show off her coquettishness and seduce men again!"

"It's the same thing every year. Isn't she tired of it?"

"Ha ha, how can she be tired of it? Every year, some men take the bait, and other people eat her."

"It's disgusting to hook up with those rich outsiders."

"No, I don't know! However, tut Tut, the widow has a good fortune tonight. Look at the man beside her. He is really magnificent. If she gets hooked, how can she show off tomorrow? "

Jiang Hanming, who is at the center of the discussion, still turns a deaf ear to those words, while widow Guo has been numb for a long time because she has heard too much of them. Even when she hears those words that scold her, she still has a light pleasure in her heart.

Without her husband and children, her life has completely fallen into a low ebb. Why can't she live a life of her own free will? No matter how fiercely you scold her, you may still be envious of the days when she has such vermilion lips and jade arms! After all, in Weishui village, who can make up as much as she does every day?

Widow Guo looks at Jiang Hanming. Looking from a quiet distance, she can't help laughing with satisfaction. She is really handsome and strong. She looks many times stronger than the old men she had served before. Tonight, she can really taste the feeling of dying.

Widow Guo has been observing Jiang Hanming for a long time since he came to the village. He is especially silent and eye-catching among a group of chatting men, so widow Guo's eyes can't leave him.

This man may be a good choice for her, isn't he?

Widow Guo is tired of the unchanging life in Weishui village. She wants to leave here, but there is no guide. She is a woman, so she has to depend on a man to leave.

But she can't look up to the former concubines and men. They are either full of brains and intestines or submissive. It's not worth her to give up the free time to be a good wife and mother. It's the man now that she is willing to leave here with him.

Think of here, Guo widow smile more charming.
