Tianen Temple is the most famous and popular temple near Wuchang Prefecture.
The temple was built with the approval of the previous emperor, so it was called Tianen Temple. It was later burned down due to war.
After Emperor Taizu conquered the world and ascended the throne, he ordered the temple to be moved 120 miles to the outskirts of the city and rebuilt the present Tian'en Temple.
Since the construction of the temple, it has housed many monks who were displaced due to the war. Therefore, everyone was very grateful for Taizu's kindness and devoted themselves to promoting Buddhism, making Tian'en Temple's reputation more and more prosperous.
In order to support the many monks who were housed in Tian'en Temple and the people who were displaced due to the war, Emperor Taizu gave all the land around the temple to Tian'en Temple, so that everyone could cultivate and harvest the land to make a living.
Now that so many years have passed, Tianen Temple is no longer in the miserable situation that it used to be, where everyone had to dig grass roots and chew tree bark to barely fill their stomachs.
As the incense became more and more popular, many houses and tile roofs were built around Tianen Temple as pavements.
Some are run by the temple itself, selling fragrant wax, fruits and other things, while more are leased to other businessmen, including taverns and inns.
Throughout the year, whenever there are various festivals or sacrificial days, the area around Tianen Temple will be crowded and lively.
Li Zi'an had greeted Shen Zhonglei early, hoping that Shen Tianshu could accompany Li Zihan to Tian'en Temple on Chinese Valentine's Day.
It took me three days and two nights to bring it back.
On the sixth day of July, Li Zihan anxiously took a car to Shen Mansion early in the morning, picked up Shen Tianshu and set off.
After the carriage left the city, Li Zihan opened the window and enjoyed the wind blowing in from outside.
The carriage was followed by mounted guards on both sides, so there was no need to worry about being hit.
Li Zian also rode a horse, controlling the speed and following beside the carriage. He listened to his sister chattering to Shen Tianshu about the situation of Tian'en Temple, and occasionally helped her add a few words.
"Sister Shen, haven't you been to Tian'en Temple yet?" Li Zihan saw Shen Tianshu nodding, and immediately said excitedly, "Tian'en Temple is so big, there will be a lot of fun during the festival, and there are many good things to do
Food..."
She was still young and had a limited vocabulary. She always spoke in just a few words. She felt completely unable to express her strong recommendation, especially when she heard the older brother outside the car couldn't help but chuckle.
He made a sound and immediately closed his mouth in a dejected manner.
"Didn't you speak very well just now? Why did you stop talking all of a sudden?" Shen Tianshu coaxed her and asked, "What is the Qiaoguoer you just mentioned?"
Li Zihan saw that Shen Tianshu was really listening, so he cheered up again and said, "Sister Shen, haven't you ever eaten Qiao Guoer?"
"My hometown is in Taiyuan, and the customs here are different from those in Huguang, so what you just said is the first time I've heard of it!"
"The Qiaoguo is delicious!" Li Zihan immediately became happy again and gestured, "It's sweet and fragrant, crispy when fried, soft and glutinous when fried. Let me buy it when we get there!"
"Why do you want me to buy it if you want to eat it?" Li Zian heard it funny from outside and couldn't help teasing her.
"Then I'll buy it for Sister Shen." Li Zihan said, taking out his small purse, "I specially brought the money."
Looking at the silver ingots that my sister took out from her purse, they were all five ounces of snowflake silver. If she threw one out at random, she would be able to bury it with the fruit she bought.
"Forget it, let me buy it!" Li Zian said helplessly, "Fortunately you are not in charge, otherwise even if the family is not poor, you will be poor sooner or later."
"I'm still young!" Li Zihan retorted angrily, "I will definitely be the head of the family in the future."
Shen Tianshu looked at the silver ingot she took out, and immediately remembered that when she went to the theater in Wase, she had a silver bracelet.
Especially the pieces of silver ingots were engraved with auspicious words, which looked like they were not ordinary people's items.
Shen Tianshu said in a coaxing tone: "That's for sure, Zihan is so smart, he will definitely learn to be a master soon."
Hearing this, Li Zian glanced at Shen Tianshu and started shouting loudly?
It's obvious that I should see her more often, so why can't I be closer to them than the two of them?
While Shen Tianshu was busy helping Li Zihan collect the scattered silver ingots and stuff them back into his purse, he did not notice Li Zihan's thoughtful gaze.
Li Zihan was excited from the first two days because he could go out with Shen Tianshu.
This excitement reached a climax between last night and this morning.
As a result, she couldn't sleep well last night. She woke up very early today and kept talking after getting in the car. So more than an hour after setting off, she was exhausted and was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. But he still refused to sleep.
Shen Tianshu reached out and took her into his arms, hugged her and coaxed her: "We still have to walk for a long time to get there. If you feel sleepy, can you just sleep for a while? Otherwise, by the time you get to Tian'en Temple, you will be too sleepy to go out and play. Right?"
Li Zihan naturally understood this truth. She forced herself not to sleep just so that she could play with Shen Tianshu for a while longer.
At this moment, the whole person fell into Shen Tianshu's arms. Smelling the clean and clear fragrance on her body, her eyelids that could no longer be lifted became heavier and heavier. She soon gave up her resistance and fell with most of her body on Shen Tianshu's lap. fell asleep on the bed.
Seeing that Li Zihan's breathing gradually became evener, Shen Tianshu reached for the fan beside him and fanned her gently.
Li Zian looked at the scene in the car through the car window and felt that it was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to disturb it.
Li Zihan slept soundly until he was gently woken up by Shen Tianshu and heard the sound of people outside.
She rubbed her eyes and got up, and found that the bamboo curtain on the car window had been lowered. She looked out through the gap and saw that she had arrived at Tian'en Temple. There was a lot of people outside, all of whom were taking advantage of the Chinese Valentine's Day to have fun.
Li Zian brought his sister and Shen Tianshu over, and naturally decided to stay there early.
This time he did not book the Zen Temple in Tianen Temple, but directly booked an inn.
The carriage drove directly into the backyard of the inn, and the guards spread out in a well-trained manner, firmly guarding every corner.
Li Zi'an also got off his horse, stepped forward and opened the carriage door, and reached out to lift Li Zihan out of the carriage.
After Li Zihan stood still, he turned back to look at Shen Tianshu and urged: "Sister Shen, get off the car quickly. Let's change our clothes and go out for a walk, and have lunch by the way."
But as soon as Shen Tianshu moved, a look of pain appeared on his face.
In order to make Li Zihan sleep comfortably during this journey, she stayed in one position for too long, and now she felt unbearable numbness in her legs whenever she moved.
"Are your legs numb?"
Li Zian took a few steps forward, leaned his upper body into the car, put his arm around Shen Tianshu's shoulders with one hand, picked up her legs with the other, and carried her directly out of the car.
