Spring Drunk Chang'an

Shi Xiaoyue jumped off the stone and ran towards Liu Changan happily.

"Sister Chang'an, I've been waiting for you for so many days. Why don't you come to see me? I have no one to play with at home, so I can only run to my mother every day to listen to her lectures..."

“So boring!!”

Cheerful sounds filled the air.

Shi Xiaoyue happily stood beside Liu Changan and put her little hand around her arm.

Xiong Zhen followed them with his eyes, untied the rope that tied the carriage with his big hands, and strode over.

"Sorry, Xiaoyue, I was delayed by something!" Liu Changan looked at Shi Xiaoyue's cheerful little face and crisp voice, and her mood brightened up a lot. A sincere smile curved the corners of her lips. She asked, "By the way, have you contacted Nanny Ji?"

"Daxiong has contacted her, and he met Aunt Ji in person!" Shi Xiaoyue replied coquettishly.

Liu Changan turned his gaze to Xiong Zhen.

"Madame Ji said that she and Master Liu will be waiting for us at Yuantan Temple at noon and will treat you and the young lady to a vegetarian meal!" Xiong Zhen said in a serious tone.

He didn't say that he secretly waited for Nanny Ji outside Liujiazhuang, and when he found her and said hello, he scared the old lady so much that she fell flat on her face.

Is it that scary?

He just suddenly appeared from the shadows and patted the old lady on the shoulder.

Xiong Zhen looked down at himself, who was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. At first glance, he looked more like a black bear than a living person.

He scratched his head in confusion.

"Since it's booked, let's not delay any longer and go!" Liu Chang'an said softly, and his eyes glanced back and landed on the sedan chair of the Song family association.

She climbed into the carriage.

Shi Xiaoyue saw this and didn't neglect it. She responded crisply, "Coming!!"

Then follow.

Xiong Zhen sat on the shaft of the cart and whipped the horse.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" The horse neighed, raised its hooves and moved forward, quickly walking towards the city gate.

Behind the carriage, a small sedan followed quietly.

-

The place where Liu Changan made an appointment to meet Liu Yu this time was not Lingxiang Valley. It was too remote and completely deserted. It was very inconvenient for Song to follow and spy on them.

So they moved to Yuantan Temple.

Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, but as a national temple, Yuantan Temple is still very popular, with pilgrims coming and going in a bustling crowd. The two female guests, Liu Changan and Shi Xiaoyue, were squeezed into the temple as soon as they got off the carriage.

"Hey hey hey, someone stepped on my foot! My shoes, shoes, shoes..."

Shi Xiaoyue was short and disappeared in an instant after entering the crowd. All he could see was the backs of other people's heads. He didn't know who stepped on him and his embroidered shoes fell off.

"Hurry, Xiaoyue, hold me!" Liu Changan was surprised, and with quick eyes and hands, he grabbed Shi Xiaoyue's only arm that was left outside the crowd!

"It hurts, stop pushing!" Shi Xiaoyue was forced to squeeze in, but her arms were held by Liu Changan, one in front and one behind, pulling with force from both sides.

Her little face turned pale with pain.

"Get out of the way, you're crowding our girl!" Xiong Zhen glared at them, stretched out his hand as big as a pot lid, and slapped the back of the head of the person nearby.

Liu Changan's eyes widened, as if he heard the sound of an "egg" breaking.

"Ouch!!"

"Mom!"

"Who!"

The people who were hit by the "bear paw" screamed miserably and instinctively made way. Xiong Zhen grabbed Shi Xiaoyue from the center of the crowd with his big hands, then pinched her waist with both hands, lifted her up in the air like a child, and placed her behind Liu Changan.

He bent his thick waist, picked up her fallen shoes, half-knelt down, and quickly put them on her.

"Miss, Miss Chang'an, let's go in quickly. People will be surrounding us again soon."

"I forgot that today is the Yuantan Temple's temple celebration!"

Xiong Zhen touched his head, looking regretful.

"Temple celebration? Oh, today is the day when Zen Master Yuanwang passed away. Some people will come to pay their respects!" Shi Xiaoyue suddenly realized and pouted.

Zen Master Yuanwang was the substitute monk of the late emperor. He died fifty years ago and his body became a saint. Every year at this time, the royal family and the imperial clan would send people to hold a memorial ceremony.

I think those who are crowding at the door are here to join in the fun.

"No matter what, let's go see Mr. Yu first!" Liu Chang'an took Shi Xiaoyue's hand and looked back!

It was discovered that Song’s sedan chair was missing.

Uh……

There are too many people, I don’t know where they are squeezed to?

But she was not worried. Song knew that she and Liu Yu had an appointment there, so she would probably go there by herself.

"Okay, let's go. It seems like there are more and more people coming!" Shi Xiaoyue muttered.

Under the protection of the Xiongzhen Mountain, which was as wide as a mountain, the two of them moved with difficulty to the back hall, a pavilion in a small garden.

There, Liu Yu's wheelchair was facing sideways to everyone. His face was pale, and his eyes were looking at the sky with sadness and numbness.

Nanny Ji stood in front of him, looking around anxiously. Seeing the three people, mainly Xiong Zhen, she clapped her hands and clapped her hands in joy, "Miss Liu, Miss Shi, here, here, our young master is here!"

"Here in the pavilion, look over here, look over here quickly."

Her voice is loud.

Loud joy.

It is so attractive that people walking nearby can't help but look back.

Liu Yu:......

Being stared at by countless eyes, I felt inexplicably embarrassed, and even the feeling of having no desire to live changed.

It turned into an urge to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"We are here, Mammy. Sister Chang'an and I are here to see you again. Do you miss us? We haven't seen each other for a long time!!"

Shi Xiaoyue's eyebrows curved into a wide arc, and even from a distance, he shouted enthusiastically and waved desperately to Nanny Ji and Liu Yu.

She also pushed Liu Changan out and urged her to say hello to Nanny Ji.

The attention of the people nearby shifted to the three people.

Liu Changan: ...

I suddenly had the same urge as Liu Yu, wanting to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She pulled Shi Xiaoyue and said urgently, "Alright, stop shouting. Let's hurry up. Nanny Ji is calling us. Let's go over quickly."

"Oh!"

Shi Xiaoyue blinked and nodded obediently, then shouted loudly: "Nanny, we are here!!"

Liu Changan: ...

Nanny Ji clapped her hands happily, "Okay, okay, come quickly!"

Liu Yu:......

The brother and sister felt inexplicably ashamed.

Liu Chang'an covered her cheeks and hurried to the pavilion. Liu Yu was speechless, and pulled Xiukan for her with sympathy. Everyone sat down. Nanny Ji was busy running around, bringing snacks and pouring tea. She also found the monks from Yuantan Temple to bring up the vegetarian food that had been ordered earlier.

"Come, Miss Liu, Miss Shi, have a try. The vegetarian food at Yuantan Temple is quite good. The chef is very skilled. The vegetarian meat tastes just like meat. Today is the temple's anniversary celebration, so it's hard to order vegetarian food. Our young master specially asked the monk in charge of reception to reserve the best table."

"The scenery here is also beautiful. Look over there by the pavilion, there's an 800-year-old pine tree."

"The pines and cypresses are evergreen, and you can smell their fragrance even here!"
