71 Temple Fair

The third year of junior high school, early in the morning.

Zuer came to the study and called out the son-in-law who had been sleeping alone for the middle of the night.

Chu Tianxiu shrank in the quilt, holding a pair of dark eye sockets, and refused to come out with a resentful look.

The opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time was ruined by his son's father. How could he not be angry?

"Son-in-law, let's go~ The county chief takes us to Xuanwu Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and ask for a fortune! Isn't my son-in-law still going to find Old God Li to refine elixirs!"

Zuer said coquettishly.

Right!

Chu Tianxiu thought of having a big deal to do when he found Li Nan, the old charlatan, so he finally cheered up, got out of the bed, changed his clothes and tidied himself up, dressed up in a dashing and handsome manner.

This elegant young marquis, who was a big playboy, brought Zuer, Li Yu, Di'er, and a team of guards in Pingwang Mansion with swords, set off together and went to Xuanwu Temple to burn incense.

...

The Spring Festival in Jinling City begins with the incense burning of Xuanwu Temple.

It lasted until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Qinhuai Lantern Festival reached its peak on the Lantern Festival. It was the largest festival event of the Great Chu Dynasty. It almost attracted the princes, foreign envoys, merchants, and scholars from all over the world to come to Jinling City to participate in the Lantern Festival celebration.

Xuanwu Temple is located in Zhenwu Street, next to Changle Street.

The temple worships Emperor Zhenwu, which is also the largest temple in Jinling City.

There is a large dew courtyard in front of the temple, with ancient banyan covering the shade and dragon dancing gathering. During the festival, it is a lively landscape in Jinling City.

Along the streets at the temple gate, there are vendors selling breakfast and snacks. Various pancakes, pancakes, and hawkers are rushing early in the morning and their business is booming.

During the Spring Festival, Xuanwu Temple is crowded with people, scholars, ladies, family members, and ladies who come from all over the city to burn incense. They ride in various carriages and sedans, and are crowded with water. They seek wealth, fate, and children. The incense is in full swing.

In the morning, there were already crowds of people inside and outside the Xuanwu Temple.

Li Yu and Chu Tianxiu avoided the first and second grades of the lunar calendar, and specially selected the third grade to burn incense. Unexpectedly, there were still crowds here.

Zhenwu Hall.

Emperor Zhenwu wore a handsome suit and stepped on turtles and snakes, and was extremely majestic.

There were many Taoist priests who burned incense in the hall, recited scriptures, sang bells and drums, and held rituals. No matter officials, scholars and ordinary people, they all had to follow the huge crowds to enter the hall and sing a stick of incense.

It is cheap to burn incense outside the hall, just a few coins are fine.

The incense burns in the inner hall, and a piece of incense costs one or two taels. Non-wealthy family will not be able to afford the money.

In Jinling City, not many people recognize Princess Li Yu, but too many people recognize Xiao Hunhou.

The people who were queuing up, and the scholars hurriedly made a move away and asked the Jinling dandy to go ahead, so as not to block his way and make Xiaohunhou angry.

Li Yu and Chu Tianxiu brought Zuer and Di'er into the hall, bowed to the presidency of the temple, presented twelve taels of silver, each holding three incense sticks, kowtowed in the hall, and worshiped Zhen Zu.

The temple Zhu was in charge of the incense and silver in the temple and was also a very high-minded person. He recognized Xiaohunhou, and his face changed. He hurriedly ran to the back palace courtyard to find his master Li Nan's old immortal.

...

Xuanwu Temple, backyard.

But I saw two old gods with fluttering clothes drinking leisurely at the stone table.

As the head of Xuanwu Temple, the old immortal Li Nan did not need to personally manage those mundane affairs, and had his own disciples to serve him.

Temple Zhu looked panicked and whispered in the ears of Old Fairy Li, "Master, something big is not good! Xiao Hunhou is here...Master, don't let him demolish the temple!"

Next to them, there were two young Taoist priests who were carefully serving the two ancestors.

"What a panic!"

Li Natural's expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth, "This big playboy is so tight... It's the third day of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival has not passed yet, so he chased me! Is it still allowed me to celebrate this New Year!"

Since he came back from a grand banquet in the palace the day before yesterday, he received a damn mission of "refining immortal pills", and he couldn't eat well and sleep.

In a few years, Empress Dowager Chen’s seventyth birthday will not be refined. Xiaohunhou, a big playboy, has many backers and is too clever and may not die.

But he, a god, has no background, so the emperor might be angry and behead him for the crime of deceiving the king!

Li Natural thought that he had only a few years of life left, so he felt desolate and frightened.

The person he didn't want to see the least is the little Hunhou who cheated him.

"Brother Chunyu, can you have a good solution to your problems?"

Li Naturally said bitterly.

He was in the game and was in a mess and could no longer think of a good countermeasure.

"Little Hunhou, the largest playboy in Jinling, has a reputation of no reason... I see what he said at the palace banquet, this boy is not easy to mess with! You have to stay away from him so as not to cause trouble."

Chunyu Chun sighed.

"But, he's already entangled!"

Li is naturally bitter.

Is he so unjust? In the past, he and Xiaohunhou had no relationship, so he went to the palace for a big banquet and had a meal, but was entangled by Xiaohunhou.

It's a bloody misfortune!

"You said, what are you trying to do when this little Hunhou is so dangerous? Changsheng Dan, he is not anxious about it at such a young age... I thought about it, and he was afraid that he would find a way to get a lot of money before he could bring you and cheat the princes and grandchildren together."

Chunyu Chun pondered.

He has been thinking about this matter repeatedly in the past two days.

Everything has its origins and outs, and the little Hunhou must have a purpose.

However, others may not know what he wants to do.

"He... just for the sake of money, he scolded the prince and grandson and came out of their pockets with a hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Li Natural was stunned.

"Or what if he? He dared to even pay for the money of King Ping, what is the money of the prince and grandson?

I also heard uncle Chen complain to a group of princes and grandchildren and noble ladies in private, saying that he had also been cheated of 100,000 taels of silver by Xiaohunhou and could not be taken back. The group of noble ladies around him were stunned. When he saw Xiaohunhou in the future, he would definitely hold his wallet tightly.

This little husband fell into the eyes of money and tried every means to get money, but he couldn't do anything."

Chunyu Chun shook his head and said.

What else can you do if you are a little marquis who is not stingy about doing this?

"Forget it... take the money to eliminate disasters, otherwise this New Year will not be over!"

...

Zhenwu Hall.

"Good weather, peace and peace!"

Li Yu burned incense and kowtowed to pray.

Di'er, Zuer followed her to read.

"There are dangers every year...!"

Chu Tianxiu was also muttering something in her mouth, her eyes floating from time to time, and she didn't know what she was muttering.

After raising the incense, pray for peace for the year, and buy a prophecy chart to check the good fortune and bad luck this year.

Afterwards, Li Yu, Di'er and Zuer went to the temple fair and watched a group of dragon dances in front of the temple, lively worshiping ancestors and praying for sweet rain.

Xiao Hunhou was going to talk to Mr. Li about refining the immortality pill, but they didn't understand it either, they were not too interested, and they didn't want to get involved.

But Chu Tianxiu slipped to the back hall of Xuanwu Temple.

"Little Hunhou!"

When Li Natural saw Xiaohunhou appear, his face suddenly sank, "What wind has blown you!"

"I have met Old Fairy Li and Old Doctor Chunyu!"

Chu Tian showed off his tribute and said with a smile: "I went back to my parents' home yesterday, and I finally got some leisure today. But as the imperial alchemy envoy, I always remember the holy order I shoulder, so I naturally did not dare to delay it for a day.

I happened to come to the temple to burn incense, so I came to discuss the refining of the "Eternal Life Immortal Pill". Is Old God Li free?"

Li Naturally remained silent.

You can escape today, but you can't escape tomorrow.

He waved his hand and asked Temple Zhu and the two little Taoist priests to retreat.

Only the old miracle doctor Chunyu Chun stayed there and drank the wine in his gourd.

Li Natural stared at Xiao Hunhou, very annoyed.

He is not a liar, he is just a big fool, he just goes to the palace to eat, drink and get a reputation.

There is a lot of money in the temple, and he does not lack money for food and drink.

What a shitty immortal pill!

It is obviously your little husband who is greedy for money and wants to make a lot of money with the excuse of refining a elixir, so he drags him into the water!

"Little Marquis, we are not secretly talking! At the palace banquet that day, I was not easy to say something about it.

I will just understand this path with you today. This immortal pill has been refined for thousands of years since ancient times, but no one has refined it."

Li Natural glanced at Xiaohunhou and said, "The little marquis is a smart person, and I think he knows this truth.

The little marquis worked so hard, and he was just trying to make money. Is it worth it to get me to get this muddy water in order to greed for this money?!

We will divide the 100,000 taels of silver, and we will share half of it, and we will be happy when we get the silver. Don’t bother me again in the future!”
