    Daily life of a doting wife in ancient times (8)

    The capital holds two temple fairs every year, one during the Chinese New Year and one after the Dragon Boat Festival, lasting from ten days to half a month.Temple fairs are a very ancient traditional folk cultural activity, mostly held in and near temples for worship, entertainment, shopping and other activities.

    At the temple fair, there are not only folk performances such as juggling, walking on stilts, and pole performances, but also handicrafts such as diabolo, nine-link rings, and sugar blowers, as well as specialty snacks from all over the country.There was everything to eat, drink and have fun, attracting countless people.

    Leng Xiyan had never been to a temple fair and wanted to take a look.But before going, you must first obtain Yu Zichen’s consent.

    She ran to the study room, pulled Yu Zichen’s sleeves and looked at him flatteringly: “Husband…”

    “What’s wrong?” Yu Zichen put down the official document in his hand and looked at her.

    “I want to go to the temple fair…” Leng Xiyan blinked her big eyes.

    “Temple fair? Are you alone? How about I take you there another day when my husband is free? The temple fair is too lively and it’s a bit dangerous for you to be alone…” Yu Zichen discussed with her.

    “But it will be over in two days, and with Yin screen by my side, I will bring my entourage with me. Nothing will happen. Husband, just let me go…” Leng Xiyan tugged on He’s sleeves and acted coquettishly.

    “Do you really want to go?” Yu Zichen asked her.Leng Xiyan nodded vigorously.

    The little girl’s eyes suddenly lit up, “That’s great, thank you husband…” She kissed Yu Zichen on the face and left with brisk steps.

    Yu Zichen touched the place where she had kissed him and shook his head helplessly: This little thing…

    “Okay…” Seeing how determined she was, Yu Zichen had no choice but to agree.

    Leng Xiyan tidied up, then took Yinping out of the courtyard. At the gate of the courtyard, she met Yu Pingting who came to see her, “Where are you going, sister-in-law?”

    “Going to the temple fair…” Leng Xiyan answered her in a good mood.

    “That’s great. I was just thinking about going to the temple fair with my sister-in-law. Let’s go now…” Yu Pingting put her arm on her arm without any explanation, and her enthusiasm seemed to show how close the relationship between the two was.

    The two of them took a carriage to the temple fair. Yu Pingting kept chattering along the way, making Leng Xiyan extremely helpless.The carriage stopped not far from the temple fair. Leng Xiyan and Yu Pingting got out of the carriage. A girl came up and said hello: “Pingting…”

    “Xiaoyu…” Yu Pingting shouted “she” happily.Leng Xiyan looked at the two of them doubtfully.

    “Sister-in-law, I forgot to tell you that I also made an appointment with my good friend. This is Xiaoyu…” Yu Pingting pointed at Leng Xiyan again, “This is my sister-in-law…” The two of them said hello.

    “Okay, let’s go to the temple fair quickly…” Yu Pingting held Leng Xiyan and Xiaoyu with one hand and walked towards the temple fair.

    When they reached the entrance of the temple fair, the three of them agreed to meet at the carriage later and then went to visit the temple fair separately.The temple fair is very lively, and there are stalls selling things on both sides of the road, filled with all kinds of toys.

    Leng Xiyan walked and strolled all the way to Cultural Street.Folk handicrafts from different places are gathered here, including wooden New Year pictures, small-faced figures, clay cuckoos… Leng Xiyan stopped at a sugar painting stall and watched how the stall owner made the sugar paintings.

    I saw him filling a spoonful of sugar water with a spoon and scratching it on a stone slab. After a while, a cute puppy appeared in front of us, and the onlookers burst into thunderous applause.

    “Girl, do you want the old man to make one for you?” The old man looked at Leng Xiyan with a smile.

    “Me? I’ll trouble you…” Leng Xiyan was a little surprised, but nodded in agreement.

    “May I ask what the girl’s zodiac sign is?”

    “I am a dragon…”

    “Okay…” The old man nodded, scooped up the sugar water and started making it on the stone slab.In just one cup of tea, a domineering and mighty dragon appeared in front of Leng Xiyan.The old man picked up a small stick and put it on the dragon. After the sugar solidified, he gave it to Leng Xiyan.

    “It’s so beautiful, thank you, old man!” Leng Xiyan took it from he, paid the money and left with it.

    After visiting the temple fair, Leng Xiyan bought a lot of interesting gadgets.She took the trophies and walked back to where the carriage was parked.Not long after, Yu Pingting and Xiao Yu also came back, and they also bought a lot of things.

    The three of them bought too many things together, and hired another carriage to put these things in.

    “Sister-in-law, Xiaoyu and I have something to say, so I won’t ride in the same carriage as you…” Yu Pingting looked at her sheepishly.

    “It’s okay, I have Yin screen with me…” Leng Xiyan shook her head and said she didn’t mind.

    Yu Pingting looked at the carriage Leng Xiyan was riding inadvertently. The coachman nodded imperceptibly to her. She looked away and smiled at Leng Xiyan: “Thank you, sister-in-law…” She turned around and boarded Xiaoyu’s carriage.
