Taohuaping is located on a highland in the south of Tonglin County, covering an area of dozens of acres. It is connected to mountains to the south and official roads to the west. It is neither remote nor noisy. It is a place where people in Tonglin County often go for outings in their free time. .
Lu Zheng and others set out not too early, so when they arrived at Taohuaping, a few people had already arrived.
Ordinary people generally don’t have time to come. They can only come out with their families and children during holidays or holidays.
Today is neither a holiday nor a holiday. Those who can go to Taohuaping for an outing are children from wealthy families or scholars who are not engaged in production.
Outside Taohuaping, there are small vendors pushing carts or carrying burdens, selling all kinds of food, flowers, small mahogany toys or amulets.
"You didn't bring any food. Are you going to buy it here or go back early?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"Since they are all out, of course I buy and eat them." Liu Qingquan said sweetly, "I heard that the peach blossom cakes here are very delicious."
Donkey The car stopped and several people got out.
Sisters Liu Qingyan and Liu Qingquan attracted the attention of the people around them.
Wearing a light pink heddle skirt with tangled branches, a fringed bun with jade and brass attached to it diagonally, hanging down a little bead curtain, between the curls, the jade face is smooth and the willows are graceful.
However, Lu Zheng, who was the first to get out of the car, stood beside the two sisters. He looked like a flower protector, so most of the people who maintained their identities did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
The Dajing Dynasty had a prosperous country and peaceful people, and the criminal law was strict. Therefore, although there were inevitably some dandies, or some garrulous harassment, there would never be molesting or even robbing people in the street. Female plot.
Lu Zheng originally thought this was due to the good governance of the Jing Dynasty, but later he realized that this was just one of the reasons.
As for another reason, of course there are talented chivalrous masters who perform chivalry and justice. Many bullies who bully others have become jokes among local storytellers.
In addition, finally...
In this world, there are ghosts and retribution. If you really bully people and drive them to death, aren't you afraid that the other person will turn into a ghost and come to retaliate?
This kind of story is also a favorite material for storytellers!
Therefore, most people would not dare to be too presumptuous without having a huge backstage or an amazing artistic career. This also made the folk customs of the Da Jing Dynasty relatively simple and harmonious.
“This is why Mr. Liu is relieved to let the Liu sisters go out for an outing.”
This is good. If you know how to be respectful, you will survive longer..
"The Great Jing Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the bad things that happened at the end of the dynasty have not happened yet. Supernatural powers also contributed a lot." Lu Zheng thought.
Cultivation requires talent, and being rich is only one of the conditions. The Netherworld is not controlled by living people. Rich people probably know the inside story. Who wants to force a ghost to deal with him?
……
“Let’s buy some peach blossom shortcakes.”
Ignoring all the stunning looks, Liu Qingquan pulled her sister and jumped I jumped up and came to a small vendor carrying a burden.
"Is your peach blossom shortcake delicious?"
"It's delicious!" The vendor is a boy who looks to be only eleven or twelve years old, "This is The peach blossom cakes are all flowers picked by my mother this morning and mixed with flour. The cakes are the freshest. You will never fool people with the peach blossoms overnight!"
"Let me see, oh, The pancakes are quite big. I'll probably be full after eating one."
"How much does this shortcake of yours cost?" Liu Qingyan stepped forward and asked.
"Three cents a piece, a lot of weight!"
"Take three." Lu Zheng said and handed over ten cents.
"Young Master, you gave me three nine-penny coins, and you gave me one more penny."
"For your reward, go back and buy a candy."
"Hey, thank you, sir!" The hawker picked out three still-warm pieces from the depths of the load, wrapped them in paper and handed them to Lu Zheng.
"Lu Lang."
Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, it's not expensive food."
Liu Qingyan Qian He smiled slightly and took his hand away from the money bag at his waist.
At this time, Liu Qingquan had already wandered to another small vendor.
"What is this?"
"This is a peace charm made of peach wood." The vendor hurriedly introduced, "Peach wood can ward off disasters and ward off evil spirits, and can subdue and exorcise evil spirits. Tonglin County has good Feng Shui. There is such a peach forest. This is a peace charm made from old peach branches in the forest. As long as you wear it with you, you will have a safe life!"
Liu Qingquan blinked and looked at her hand. The upper half of the peace talisman is as big as a palm, "This peace talisman can subdue demons and drive away ghosts?"
"Yes!"
Liu Qingquan looked back at Liu Qingyan, Liu Qing Yan smiled and said, "I'm just asking for peace and good luck. If you like it, buy one and hang it at home."
"I don't like it." Liu Qingquan pouted and shook her head. “Not as beautiful as jewelry.”
The hawker’s face fell.
Jumping to the next shop, this vendor sells toys, which are also carved from peach wood.
Liu Qingquan picked around and picked out a small wooden mouse. It was fat and looked very cute.
…
The peach blossoms and smoke are charming to the eyes, and a few white butterflies hang on the branches.
The beautiful lady leans on her side, her face is pretty, and she doesn’t know where the fragrance comes from.
……
Liu Qingquan ran around in the peach forest with the little mouse, but she didn’t go too far, just walking around Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan. It was a joy to jump and play under the peach tree.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan walked together, admiring the various peach trees and the beautiful peach blossoms in the peach forest.
Liu Qingyan didn’t speak, so Lu Zheng could only find something to say.
“That tree looks a bit like a porter carrying a load.”
“That tree seems to have more peach blossoms than other trees, which is more beautiful. "
"Hey, look at that tree, it looks like an old lady running on crutches."
"Chi Chi!"
Liu Qingyan raised her hands to cover her mouth with her sleeves, but she still couldn't help laughing. The scene was too strong and too ridiculous.
But following Lu Zheng’s fingers and thinking about what he said, the more Liu Qingyan looked at the peach tree, the more it looked like a rickety old woman with fluffy hair trotting quickly with a cane. .
“How did you think of this...this old woman running?”
“It doesn’t look like it?”
“It looks like it!” Liu Qingyan put down her sleeves and showed a happy and angry smile, as if she was a little bit blaming Lu Zheng for making her lose her composure, "It's just that you didn't say it, I couldn't have imagined it."
Lu Zheng shrugged and said nothing. Now I don’t have much imagination, and I can’t even write online novels.
Liu Qingyan is an ancient person, but Lu Zheng is a modern person. All kinds of jokes come out of his mouth without saying anything, but at least he won't be silent.
While walking and chatting, Liu Qingyan began to talk more.
“Dad’s medical skills are actually pretty good. In addition to reading medical books, he also has extraordinary acupuncture skills.”
“There is a very annoying person in my hometown. Although he is powerful, It's too big, but we can't afford to offend him but we can hide him. He can't chase him to Tonglin County."
"We drank the two bottles of fruit wine you gave us in two meals yesterday. , so delicious.”
…
“Sister!”
Liu Qingquan turned out from behind a peach tree not far from the two of them.
Behind her was a stunning woman wearing a pink butterfly and flower brocade palace dress.
