Chapter 154 Do you want to drive your dad crazy?
Daya and Erya didn't clamor to go. If grandma didn't take them with her, they wouldn't go. Of course, grandma had her reasons.
Even if everyone goes, someone still has to do the housework. We can't all go.
Erlang and Sanlang were both half-grown boys with their own ideas, and they did not need to be led by adults.
It’s not like they haven’t been to the Shilipuzi temple fair every spring.
It was in the next town of Shilipu, only about ten miles away, and their speed was faster than that of Mrs. Zhou and her friends.
Zhou Lang was originally planning to go to school today, but when he heard that there was a temple fair, he decided not to go to school and decided to go to the temple fair together.
Mrs. Zhou refused to take him with her. "Your father is worried every day because you stopped going to school after passing the imperial examination. Your father has high hopes for you now. Why don't you go to school whenever you have time? Are you trying to drive your father crazy? Only women go to temple fairs. You are a grown man. Go to school and study..."
Zhou Lang replied, "I will go to protect my mother, and my wife will go."
This made Mrs. Zhou laugh. "We are just going to a temple fair, not to a dangerous place. Do we need your protection?"
However, Zhou Lang was good at talking, so Mrs. Zhou agreed to his request.
As soon as Zhou Lang left, Zhou Laosan also wanted to go and play. Zhou Laosan was very eloquent and made Mrs. Zhou laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.
Finally, Zhou Lang said that they should go in a horse-drawn carriage. Zhou Yaogu also wanted to go, and Ruan Shi was reluctant to go too. Naturally, Wang Shi did not want to be left behind, so she had to be taken along.
Everyone in Lao Zhou's family went out to play, so why shouldn't she go?
She had to go out and follow. What if Mother-in-law Zhou secretly bought things for the other families and left their family behind?
She had to watch.
This is all public money, and we should all spend it together.
The children were not brought along for fear that they might get lost, but a lot of the adults did go.
Anyway, the Zhou family's and the Ma family's are bigger, so they can all sit down, and there are still some seats left if they squeeze in.
Many people from Taohua Village went to the temple fair, and they brought along a few older folks they knew.
There were more than ten people packed in there.
Zhou Lang and Lin Shiqi sat in the front, driving the carriage.
Lin Shiqi learned to drive the cart from him so that he wouldn't have to go to the back and be squeezed.
We arrived at Shilipuzi Temple.
This is the annual temple fair. Folks from the surrounding area have all come, both men and women. It is not like what Mrs. Zhou said, that there were only women. There were also many men.
There are a lot of people at the temple fair, and many of them buy and sell things and barter here.
Zhou Laosan volunteered to park the carriage in a good place.
Everyone who came from Lao Zhou's family had their own ideas, so when they arrived at the temple fair, they acted separately.
Lin Shiqi was preparing to go for a walk with Zhou Lang, but Mrs. Zhou held her back and wouldn't let go.
"Let their men go shopping. Fourth wife, let's go to the temple to worship first."
Lin Shiqi was puzzled. "That's fine."
Zhou Yaogu wanted to leave, but Zhou Po held her back.
"You go too."
Aunt Zhou didn't want to go, and grumbled, "Why should I go? The temple is dedicated to the Goddess of Childbirth, and it is effective for praying for children. You can just take Fourth Sister-in-law with you, I won't go."
Lin Shiqi finally understood that this was why Mrs. Zhou had been dragging her to the temple fair! !
It has been more than half a year since she and Zhou Lang traveled through time. Mrs. Zhou used to be impatient with them.
After giving her all kinds of hints, now she is directly dragged to pray to God for a child.
How could she possibly have a child with Zhou Lang? It was impossible in this lifetime!
Mrs. Zhou said, "The Goddess of Childbirth is very effective. She not only helps with childbirth, but also helps people find marriage partners. You are already an adult, and your requirements are so high that matchmakers don't come to you anymore. Go and beg her to arrange your fifth brother's marriage this year, and I will do it for you..."
Zhou Yaogu was reluctant, "Am I too demanding? Are the ones those matchmakers introduced to me all from poor families? Ugly and poor, and I can't choose them? If you can't find a suitable one, it will only ruin my reputation. How shameless."
"You can ask for anything you want this year. Don't ask for a rich guy. Just ask for a good guy with good moral character. It doesn't matter if your family is poor. I will keep you in the house and recruit you..."
"Oh! I don't want a gigolo either." Zhou Yaogu refused decisively.
Lin Shiqi was listening and finding it funny.
It seems that no one is having an easy time.
She wasn't the only one feeling sad, and she felt much more balanced.
Anyway, Mrs. Zhou would not let them go. She took one in each hand and went to buy incense to pray to the Goddess of Fertility. Mrs. Zhou was sincere and even bought two big ones.
Ruan followed them silently.
Wang did not go with them. She was not interested in praying for a child and thought it would be better to go to the temple fair to see something new.
Mrs. Zhou didn't buy incense for Ruan, so Ruan paid for it herself and bought more than Mrs. Zhou did.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at her and said nothing more.
Ruan lowered her head.
He looked as if no one was around.
Zhou Lang also wanted to go into the temple, but this time Mrs. Zhou refused to let him in.
"It's all women worshipping inside. You're a grown man, don't go in. Just wait outside."
Zhou Lang was just wandering outside.
This temple fair is organized around the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth, and there are many places to visit.
Many people came to worship the Goddess of Fertility today.
There was a long queue.
Mrs. Zhou and her friends arrived relatively early, and after waiting for about an incense stick of time, it was their turn.
There are three kneeling places in front of the Goddess of Fertility, so the people queuing are also divided into three lines.
Lin Shiqi and Zhou Yaogu were standing side by side, and next to them was a young girl who was dressed neatly and looked heroic, and she must have some kung fu skills.
She has beautiful features, but an arrogant look, and doesn't look like someone you want to mess with.
"You, the two of you, don't bow yet. Let our young lady bow first! In case the queen can't hear our young lady's voice..."
There was a sturdy maid beside her, and she spoke in a rude manner.
Zhou Yaogu was a little hesitant. This master and servant couple and the grandeur of the wealthy family made her feel a little intimidated.
Zhou Yaogu has always been a domineering person at home.
Inside the house, with Mrs. Zhou's protection, she dares to order the family members around and act bossy towards the younger generations.
When he met rich and powerful people outside, his timidity as a child from a small country family would be revealed.
Lin Shiqi didn't listen to them at all.
He knelt on the cushion in front of her and said, "The Bodhisattva's arrangement is that the three of us worship together. It's up to you to worship or not. You are so fierce in front of the Bodhisattva. Do you think the Bodhisattva will be threatened by you? Will your wishes come true? Can you be reasonable?"
The master and servant froze in place.
The haughty young lady restrained her arrogant behavior, stopped talking, and knelt down.
Zhou Yaogu also quickly knelt down beside Lin Shiqi.
At this time, her admiration for her fourth sister-in-law Lin Shiqi increased to a higher level.
Mother Zhou also saw this scene outside the hall, and she couldn't help but nod her head. The more she watched the fourth son's wife, the more she liked her. She was so stable, never panicked, and had a quick mind. She almost subconsciously wanted to give her up just now.
Bodhisattvas do not like evil people who bully others, and certainly will not look down on cowardly weaklings.
