The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 68 68. Temple Fair

 “Wenjin Academy? Become a master?”

Bai Siruo looked in disbelief. The last time she met Academician Wang from Wenjin Academy, she felt that their temperaments were quite similar. She didn't expect that Mingyue would eventually become her disciple and follow the path of a master. .

Hold Xu Mingyue’s hand and never let go.

The wife’s reputation is quite resounding, and with Xu Mingyue’s ability, she will certainly be able to do the job. However, this is tantamount to ruining her own marriage prospects.

 After all, there is no wealthy family in the Eastern Capital City who would look at a female wife when looking for a wife.

Academician Wang was like this, so he lived alone for many years, and his heart became more and more calm.

Xu Mingyue knew what she was thinking. She was lucky to have a close friend who missed her so much when she came to this world.

However, she still felt that a woman's future should not only be about marriage. Although she could not take the imperial examination, gain fame, or go to the battlefield, it should also be broader. She could do medicine and save people, study books, become famous, and do business to make profits. .

 As long as you are worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of your parents.

"Don't worry. If it's really my fate, then even if I become a wife, I can still get married. If it's not my fate, even if I stay in my boudoir, no one will come to discuss the marriage. Why bother myself? In the mountains Wouldn’t it be better to spend your time in a sea of ​​books?”

Feng Jinyao was greatly impressed by this broad-mindedness and courage.

As expected of the daughter of the Xu family, even her thoughts are different from those of ordinary people, and she has a bright moonlight breeze.

 After hearing what she said, Bai Siruo was worried and didn't know where to turn.

Looking at the way Xu Mingyue's brows relaxed, she thought to herself that perhaps traveling around the world would allow her to live fresher, more wanton, and more happily than being confined to a pavilion.

 After letting go of the obsession in his heart, Bai Siruo said loudly.

"That's good. In this case, we can't let every day go by. We have to live a good life. At today's temple fair, just say whatever you want to play and eat. I'll definitely make you two happy. that is."

 After hearing what she said, Feng Jinyao and Xu Mingyue looked at each other and smiled.

“Sister Xu, Ayao is here to wish you that the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.”

 “I accept my sister’s good advice.”

The three sisters talked lively and returned to their usual freedom.

 Not long after, the carriage stopped at the foot of Fahua Temple.

Because of the temple fair, the carriages had to stop at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, the stairs were wide and there were resting places at intervals, so it was not too strenuous to climb up the mountain.

Mrs. Xu has been coming here to offer incense all the time, but she climbed easily. Mrs. Bai and Princess Wen Yi who were following her were sweating slightly on their foreheads, but she still looked energetic.

"You two sisters-in-law, come here when you have nothing to do. Look, you can't climb up to me, an old woman."

Looking at the two people behind her with a hearty smile, Mrs. Bai replied breathlessly.

"Your body is not even comparable to that of an immortal. My mother always praises you at home."

Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Xu didn't have much contact with each other. They only gradually became familiar with each other because of the close contact between their grandchildren. However, Mrs. Xu admired Mrs. Bai very much.

 Suddenly hearing her daughter-in-law say this, she was a little more surprised.

“Will your mother talk about me?”

"My father and Mr. Xu Ge have been officials in the same court for so many years. Naturally, they have a close relationship and know you a little bit. It's a pity that you were not in Dongdu City during my mother's birthday banquet. Otherwise, my mother's place would be more lively if you came. ." These words made Mrs. Xu feel comfortable, "Okay, then after the New Year, our two families will move around more. Is it possible to come to your mother's house to ask for a cup of tea?"

“Just come and mother will sweep the bed to welcome you.”

While climbing the mountain, talking and talking, several nobles and their servants, wives and boys went up to the top of the mountain within two cups of tea.

Fahua Temple is the most famous and popular temple among the eight temples in Jin Dynasty.

Because it stands on the top of the mountain, it is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making it look like a fairyland.

The late emperor built a golden Buddha statue here, which attracted everyone in the Eastern Capital City to yearn for it. Over time, the place became very lively.

I heard that seeking children and wealth are the most effective.

Coming back now, they had nothing to ask for. They came to the temple fair purely for the sake of excitement.

 Hurrying up for the Laba Festival temple fair can not only get rid of the bad intentions of the past, but also usher in prosperity in the new year.

Since this idea spread among the people, Fahua Temple is crowded with people every year during the Laba Festival.

Because Mrs. Xu often comes here, they were spotted by the young monk guarding the door as soon as they stepped through the door. He hurriedly came up to greet them and invited them directly to a quiet place behind the Buddhist temple to rest.

It was originally intended for nobles to live there, so it was far away from the main hall in the front yard and much quieter. It was like a different place from the temple fair.

Bai Siruo finally got out of the door, but he was willing to restrain himself and said to his mother begging and coaxing.

“Mother, let us three sisters take a stroll here, especially Ayao, she hasn’t seen anything yet.”

Princess Wen Yi was convinced by her sister-in-law before she came out, so she sent double the number of servants to follow her, but it didn't matter.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety. Just eat and watch the excitement. It's better not to get it in your stomach, so as not to make you upset again."

Bai Siruo nodded immediately, with a very well-behaved expression.

At this time, as long as the three of them can be allowed to hang out here, it would be no problem even if Princess Wen Yi wants her to go back and embroider ten or eight patterns.

"Ming Yue, this girl, rarely goes out. Today, since all the sisters are here, you can go shopping with them and relax."

It's not worth it to be upset because of the Liang family's troubles.

After hearing this, Xu Mingyue’s eyes shone brightly and made people likeable. “Don’t worry, grandma, we will go to the backyard to find you after we play for a while.”

"Yeah." After saying that, the two sisters-in-law of the Bai family helped Mrs. Xu to go inside, while the three sisters stood in front of the door, looking left and right, full of surprise.

The abbot of the temple did not close it to ordinary people because of the large number of dignitaries, so during the three days of the temple fair, everyone could see it.

Ladies in rich clothes, young ladies in curtains and hats, street vendors, lively and lovely children, and old and pitiful farmers, all crowded together at this temple fair.

 Most dignitaries come here to offer incense, but most common people come here to do small business.

The door of the temple is wide open, and the front yard is mostly used for buying and selling birds, ordinary animals such as cats and dogs. When you walk to the third door, they sell various household items for daily use. They are not priceless things, but they look fresh and fresh. It can be.

 In the courtyard, there are open-air bunks.
