Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Anruo Temple is located on a small hill in the southeast of Fuyuan County. It is a very famous temple in the northern border with many believers.

According to legend, the founding emperor of Daliang, Taizu, led an army to fight in person and returned victoriously. On his way, he encountered this temple and named it Anruo Temple because he hoped that Daliang would be peaceful and prosperous from then on and that the people would live in peace.

Luo Xiaoran, who was squeezed in the middle of the crowd, couldn't help but complain to Wang Changbo:

"Is this the wonderful place you brought us to?"

It is no exaggeration to say that it is comparable to Mount Tai and Mount Huang during the National Day holiday in previous lives.

People come and go, crowding together, and the flow of people is endless.

Wang Changbo smiled awkwardly, unfolded his fan and held it above his head to block the sun:

"This year, the King of Yan won another victory, and the people were able to have a good New Year. They all came to Anruo Temple to pray and fulfill their wishes, thanking the Buddha for his protection."

Luo Xiaoran frowned and couldn't help but say:

"You said that it was because the King of Yan won the battle that the people in the northern border could live and work in peace. What does this have to do with the Buddha?"

Sun Qingyuan sneered, and his fair face showed his usual mocking expression:

“Of course, it’s because they think it was the Buddha’s blessing that helped the King of Yan win the battle.

The King of Yan is a human being. No matter how high his reputation is, how can he be compared with gods and Buddhas? "

Luo Xiaoran disagreed with his statement:

“In fact, burning incense and praying to Buddha is to pray for the realization of people’s desires. It is just a spiritual sustenance. The most important thing is to see how people do it.

When they encounter problems, they solve them and rely on their own efforts to realize the wishes they made in front of the Buddha.

If everyone went to the Buddha and worshipped, all their wishes would come true, and the world would be in chaos.”

Everything is contradictory. Luo Xiaoran paused and continued:

"Of course, I am not saying that burning incense and worshipping Buddha is bad, it mainly depends on the behavior of the person who burns incense and worshipping Buddha.

If you work hard, your wish will come true; if you work passively, there will be no such thing. "

Wang Changbo interjected, "Then according to what Miss Luo said, everyone can just worship themselves, no need to worship Buddha?"

"Oh, what a sin, what a sin! Please don't wrongly accuse me, the Buddha is listening!

I was just thinking, if a person asks Buddha to bless him to fulfill his wish.

Then he does nothing but lies at home and waits for the Buddha's blessing. Do you think the Buddha will bless such a person?"

Luo Xiaoran pointed at the people around her and said to Wang Changbo:

“You said that everyone thanked the Buddha for the victory on the front line, but in fact, the common people contributed to the victory.

The Prince of Yan made the greatest contribution. He was the commander-in-chief of the army. Without his command, the war might not have been won, or more people might have died.

The common people contributed grain as military rations and paid taxes as military pay.

'The army and the people are as close as fish and water'. Although the common people did not go to the front lines to fight, they were also part of the resistance against the northern barbarians.

So, in the end, the people are still worshipping themselves.”

"Your statement is quite fresh..."

Seeing that Sun Qingyuan was about to continue speaking, Wang Changbo quickly interrupted:

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this in this crowd. Let's go inside the temple and find a place to sit down. There are too many people outside and it's too noisy. We can't squeeze in."

After Luo Xiaoran and the others left, a young man in a black brocade robe behind them muttered to himself:

"'The army and the people are as close as fish and water', what a great 'the army and the people are as close as fish and water'."

Then he instructed a man in black behind him:

"Wei Lin, go check their background, especially that little girl."

"My subordinate understands."

······

Anruo Temple is a precious temple named after Emperor Taizu. In addition to praying for smooth wars and family safety, the most famous thing about it is a century-old ginkgo tree in the temple.

When autumn comes, the trees are covered with golden ginkgo leaves, which are extremely beautiful.

I don't know how many years ago it started, but people nearby have been praying for marriage under this tree.

The red marriage signs are hung all over the golden tree trunks, and the red and yellow complement each other very beautifully.

There were two stalls next to the ginkgo tree that specialized in selling marriage cards. Luo Xiaoran picked one up and took a closer look.

It is made of wood and painted with red tung oil paint. One side is engraved with ginkgo leaves, and the other side is blank, for those who wish to make a vow to write something.

"Speaking of which, the two gentlemen are fifteen this year, and will be sixteen after the New Year. Do you want to buy a marriage card to pray for a good marriage?"

Luo Xiaoran held up the marriage sign and said to Sun Qingyuan and Wang Changbo.

Sun Qingyuan and Wang Changbo widened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, turned their heads and stopped talking.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Do you two already have families?"

Yes, people in ancient times got married early, and it was not strange to get married at the age of fifteen.

The two remained silent. Finally, it was Mo Zhu, the servant behind Wang Changbo, who spoke up:

“Miss Luo, you don’t know that Master Sun and my Master have vowed since childhood to focus on their studies and wait until they pass the imperial examination before considering getting married and having children.

For this reason, the two buried a jar of daughter's red wine ten years ago, saying that whoever passed the imperial examination first would take out the wine on their wedding night.

Luo Xiaoran:······

According to the oaths of these two young masters, I thought the imperial examination in Daliang would be easy!

That is of course impossible. From ancient times to the present, many people have taken exams for their entire lives, even until they were in their forties or fifties, but still failed to pass the imperial examination.

If these two guys never succeed, will they remain single forever?

Wang Changbo is Mr. Wang’s only son. Would his father agree to this?

Although Sun Qingyuan has no parents, looking at his decadent look, he didn't even take part in the provincial examination. How can he pass the imperial examination?

According to his oath, it seems that he will be single for the rest of his life.

It's not that I'm a lesbian and I think people are gay, but why do you two have to compare everything?

You have to compare in age, in education, and in choosing a wife?

Or you two can just be together, and everyone will be happy!

Ignoring these two, Luo Xiaoran turned around and looked at Du Kongqing:

"Kong Qing, even though you will be thirteen after the Chinese New Year, other girls in the village have already started to date men when they are your age.

But I treat you as my sister, so I will tell you what I think in my heart."

Du Kongqing immediately perked up: "Xiao Ran, tell me quickly!"

"I hope you don't get married so early. Even if you do get married, you should wait until you are 20 years old before having children.

Because the body is fully grown at that time, the risk of having a baby is relatively small."

Sun Qingyuan thought that Du Kongqing would lower her head shyly, and Mosquito hummed and whispered:

"Xiao Ran, what are you talking about in public!" "You are so shy" and so on.

Unexpectedly, Du Kongqing asked Luo Xiaoran righteously:

"No wonder people say that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for women. Is it because they are too young and their bodies haven't fully developed yet?"

Luo Xiaoran was very pleased to see Du Kongqing, who was full of academic spirit:

"Yes, in fact, it is best for women to give birth after the age of 23 or 25, as the risk is the lowest.

You girls are only fifteen or sixteen years old now, and you still have a lot of growth to do. Giving birth to a child so early is actually a very dangerous behavior."

Du Kongqing nodded seriously, indicating that he had learned a new piece of knowledge.

Luo Xingchen beside him also nodded in agreement:

Although he is only four years old and still a long way from getting married and having children, he will definitely take good care of his wife in the future and let her have children later, putting safety first.

Sun and Wang were stunned as they looked at Luo Xingchen and Du Kongqing who followed Luo Xiaoran's lead.

How could they listen to such horrific words?

Are you still listening so seriously?
