The annual temple fair in the county seat is a lively event in villages with a radius of hundreds of miles. Every year at this time, many families bring their children to play together, just like the New Year.

In the past few years, Lin Laogen also took the two brothers Lin Amo, but because he was a lame man, it was inconvenient to run too far, so he did not go every year. In a place as far away as the county seat, it would be unsafe for him and Brother Zhou to go alone. They must be accompanied by someone who is in charge of the elders.

He knew that Amo liked the fun, so he really hated himself for being useless, and he couldn't even satisfy the child's wish. At this moment, Wu Qingyuan said to bring a few children to watch the fun, and he was naturally happy to agree.

As soon as the matter of the Zhao family was over, he was still worrying about comforting Amo again. He was so drowsy and the pillow came. Brother Wu really understood his heart!

Not to mention the second room. The two girls in their room were not liked by Mrs. Lin. They had never been to Dalian town a few times when they grew up, and it was rare to have the opportunity to go to the county town to watch the temple fair. The couple naturally agreed.

And the old lady Lin didn't have much opinion except telling Lin Amo to come back early to help with the work. Anyway, she didn't give the money for the children to play in the county, so she didn't have any problem with her heartache, so she went to the temple fair, that's all. Happy decision.

The county seat is no closer than the town, and it takes three or four hours to ride the donkey cart.

On the day of departure, everyone got up before dawn to catch the boat. By the time they got to the river, many villagers had gathered, all rushing to the county town to watch the temple fair.

Among them are many familiar faces from the village. Obviously, there are still a lot of wealthy people in Liushu Village, and many are willing to spend money to play in the county.

However, in addition to a few couples who went with their children, most of these people were young girls and brothers, as well as single men in the village, all of them were carefully dressed and beautifully dressed.

Obviously, this kind of lively activity is a good time for young people to fall in love. Who said that the ancients only talked about matchmakers implicitly, and dating regardless of age?

"Brother, why are you dressed so well today? And the sun is not big today, why are you wearing a hat?"

After getting on the boat, finding a good seat and sitting down, Lin Tianbao leaned over to his brother and asked curiously.

Lin Amo also deliberately turned out his clothes at the bottom of the box today and put them on. The dark blue clothes made him very gentle, and the ugly half of his face was also covered by the cloth he put on the hat on his head, only revealing A fair face and a pair of beautiful eyes.

Hearing his brother's question, he reflexively glanced at Wu Qingyuan, who was sitting across from him, and then patted Lin Tianbao's head and taught him a guilty conscience, "Brother, you can also take care of your clothes, brother, just watch the weather and wait until noon. It's definitely going to be hot, so bring a bamboo hat and get ready early, don't you know? Hurry up and sit down, the boat will start soon..."

"No way, my dad was optimistic about it yesterday and said it's cool today."

Lin Tianbao was skeptical. He always felt that something was wrong with his brother today. It's okay to bring a bucket hat. He even turned out the new clothes he wore for the new year and put it on. He went to the county town to watch the temple fair, not to visit relatives, just wear it casually. .

"Do we listen to father or brother? So many questions."

Amer, who couldn't be fooled, could only show the posture of being a brother in embarrassment.

"Listen to your brother..."

Lin Tianbao, who has always regarded his elder brother as the main force, faced the oppression, and the sensible one immediately chose to surrender and shut up. He just asked, why did the elder brother react so much? Hey, why is the elder brother's face still a little red, it's weird... .

Lin Tianbao's little eyes were full of doubts, but the children's attention was quickly drawn away by Zhang Dazhu, who took out the flatbread and fruit. Everyone went out early and had no time to eat breakfast. The adults could bear it. The child couldn't stand it anymore.

The child was greedy and ran over, not afraid of sailing around, but Wu Qingyuan took the opportunity to change positions quietly and sat beside Lin Amo.

"Amer, today's clothes are beautiful."

Wu Qingyuan handed him a piece of cake, and leaned in to praise him in a low voice. He wanted to sit down just now, but unfortunately Amer took his younger brother to sit with him as soon as he got on the boat.

"Thank you, thank you..."

When Lin Amo saw him stand up and sit down, he lowered his head in a tense state. At this moment, he felt Wu Qingyuan leaning in and praising him with a smile. His body was completely stiff, like a puppet. The stiffness passed directly over the cake, and his head lowered even more fiercely.

Hui Xie's voice also had an unspeakable shyness, but his heart jumped with joy. Brother Wu just praised him (clothes) for being good-looking!

Wu Qingyuan didn't have the ability to read minds, so he didn't know what he was thinking, but when he saw his shy and embarrassed appearance, he guessed something and showed a happy smile on his mouth.

..........

The wooden boat went down the river, and the speed was very fast. The donkey cart took three to four hours of bumpy road, and it took two hours to ride the boat. At this hour, that is, after ten o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived at the county dock.

Today is an annual temple fair that lasts for three days in total. Many villagers have heard the news from a radius of hundreds of miles. When everyone arrived at the pier, the pier was already full of wooden boats, all of whom came to watch the fun.

After entering the county seat, the number of people who come to join in the fun has increased exponentially. There are also many small traders who come to do business, performers performing juggling, and officials who maintain public order. The bustling scene is more lively than the small town of Shiqiao. .

At this moment, Wu Qingyuan only realized the prosperity of the world he traveled through. Although various countries are divided into territories, the country he is in is undoubtedly powerful and prosperous.

It is rare for Lin Amo, Brother Zhou and others to come to the county to see it. Wu Qingyuan is also the first time he has seen ancient temple fairs. It is true that there is a lively modern day. Little, everyone is very new for a while.

However, there are too many people who come to the county to watch the temple fair. Among them, there are three children. They dare not run around separately, so the two couples can only watch the fun with three small light bulbs. Fortunately, the three children are also obedient. , very good belt.

The temple fair was full of excitement and things to play. After walking around for a long time, everyone's attention was attracted by the shouting of a small vendor on a street corner.

"Come, come, take a look, take a look, throw a pot to send a jade pendant, a mask, and a small purse with a doughnut candy cake. It only costs five cents at a time, and if all ten short arrows are hit, the jade pendant will be sent, and half of the shots will be sent to the jade pendant. You have to give away, there is no cheating! Come and see, give a jade pendant, a mandarin duck jade pendant worth one or two silver..."

The shouting peddler's voice was very loud, and he was very skilled. All the passers-by were attracted by the jade pendant with a tael of silver in his mouth.

The common people are busy with their livelihoods all day, and there are very few recreational activities at ordinary times. Apart from going up the mountain to chop firewood and pick fruits, they also go to the river to fish and dig beans, and recreational activities such as throwing pots are generally played by the nobles. The common people know that. , but never played it.

But when heard that the merchant owner said that for five cents, there is a chance to get a jade pendant of a tael of silver, everyone was eager to try, even if they knew that they might not win, but they all tried it with a fluke mentality of 'in case you will win'. .

"Brother Dazhu, hurry up and hurry up, put a jade pendant for Brother Zhou back!"

Lin Tianbao was a little kid, and when he heard what the owner of the vendor said about the mandarin duck jade pendant, he took the lead in booing and pushed Zhang Dazhu over to join in the fun.

"Does this strong man also cast jade pendants? I don't know if a strong man has a sweetheart. According to the rules, when casting jade pendants, he must bring his sweetheart.

The owner of the trader smiled and said the rules of the ugly. In fact, he did this because he had a good face, and he would never be ashamed in front of his sweetheart. If he missed a shot, he would vote again. He really invested in his jade pendant, and the capital came back, and he made a steady profit.

But the jade pendant of one tael of silver is so good, everyone has to lose money, so he naturally thinks and tries to set the rules and play tricks.

"I, I have a daughter-in-law!"

Without Lin Tianbao's coaxing, the honest Zhang Dazhu answered the boss's question obediently, dragged the embarrassed Brother Zhou to his side, and made the people around him laugh with his accent and silly smile.

Brother Zhou is helpless and sweet, and Wu Qingyuan's indifferent and calm personality also broke down again and again after he came to Willow Village and couldn't help laughing. Come on, anyway, this guy Zhang Dazhu doesn't care whether Brother Zhou is married to him now, he It is considered that he has long regarded people as him, and he does not even speak in a subtle way.

After the laughter, Zhang Dazhu went on stage to perform.

This guy is usually good at working hard, but he is not very good at a skillful entertainment game like pot throwing, and the short arrows used to throw pots in order to make money are also used by merchants, so he can throw them in.

"Brother Dazhu, forget it, we don't vote anymore, I don't want jade pendants..."

Seeing that Zhang Dazhu threw three sets of short arrows and failed to hit, and the fifteen cents of Bai Huahua was spent like this, Brother Zhou felt a little distressed, and felt that he should not let him continue to be fooled.

"I vote again, Axi, I want to vote for you a jade pendant. The boss said it was from Yuanyang!"

Zhang Dazhu has always been stubborn when he was next to Brother Zhou.

Brother Zhou was helpless. The boss was amused when he saw the extra five cents of money in his hand. Wu Qingyuan nodded in his heart and was satisfied with his heart for Brother Zhou. Pop it out and help him drive a group of short arrows into the iron pot.

"I hit, I hit!"

All ten short arrows hit, Zhang Dazhu shouted with joy, Brother Zhou showed joy, several children also screamed and laughed, and the people around were also excited, only the merchant owner was stiff and dumbfounded.

Really hit it!

Twenty pennies invested in his jade pendant with a tael of silver... The boss was not only dumbfounded, but also cried in his heart, this deal was too uneconomical.

But cry, cry, and now so many people in the public see that he can't renege on his debts, so he can only try to put on a smile and present the jade pendant.

When Zhang Dazhu got the jade pendant, he gave it to Brother Zhou as soon as he got it, and the people around him started to laugh again.

"Amer, do you want a jade pendant?"

Seeing his expression, Wu Qingyuan suddenly approached him.

"Ah?" Amer didn't respond for a while.

"Boss, I want to cast jade pendant too!"

Without explaining, Wu Qingyuan smiled at him, raised his hand and shouted to the merchant.
