Chapter 14 City God Temple (Part 1) (《》)

"Who taught you this statement?" He shook his hand without any trace and said with a strange expression.

"They, the brothers in the clan school." The fourth young master closed the golden fan and asked strangely: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Of course it's not appropriate." Chen Si rolled his eyes and said, "Broken sleeves, divided into Tao and Longyang, three allusions tell one thing."

"What's the matter?" The fourth young master asked silly with a pair of small eyes.

"Men's Love." Silent lowered his voice.

Chen Jing stayed for a while before a burst of curses in Shaoxing dialect. Chen Shu didn't understand very much, but it was probably "to settle accounts with them".

He thought this guy should go back and find a place, but Chen Jing stopped scolding after a while, and said angrily: "Let's go, go to the river to relax."

Chen Si couldn't help but smile and said, "Why don't you settle the score with them?"

"Forget it, I can't help it." Chen Jing said vaguely, obviously not wanting to say more.

Chen Si did not have the habit of exploring people's privacy, so he nodded and walked first. Chen Jing followed behind, obviously still angry.

As soon as the two of them went out in a silent manner, they heard someone calling him, "Chaosheng, Chaosheng..."

He looked in the sound and saw a tall boy standing under the shade of a tree by the road, waving at him in surprise.

"The eldest son?!" Chen Shu suddenly had a smile on his face, and walked over in two steps to meet the big man.

This person is the "first son" mentioned by Chen He. He is indeed tall enough. He is only fourteen or five years old and is over six feet tall. Silence is only as tall as Chen Jing, who is three or four years older than him, and is already considered tall among the southerners.

When the two met, they first hugged each other, then patted each other's shoulders hard and said, "I missed me so much." Seeing that they were so hot, Chen Jing was so sour, "Is this considered a broken sleeve?" He was still learning and applying it.

Chen Si rolled his eyes and said, "No one will think wrongly." Then he ignored him and said to his eldest son, "I went out for the first time today and was about to report your peace to you."

The eldest son is a typical southerner and northern person. He has a national face, thick lips, and big and bright eyes. He looks like a real person. He scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "It's me that's not good. I was busy helping my family harvest crops a few days ago, and I only had time to see you today." As he said that, he picked up the fish basket from behind and said, "I caught a few live fish to replenish your body."

"No, I'm already alive." Silently smiled, "Take it back and give it to the uncle and aunt for food."

"They will hit me." The eldest son Hanhan said, "You just accept it."

Chen Jing next to him couldn't stand their tumbling and said impatiently: "Are you just two fish? Just leave it for you. At most, I'll just cut two kilograms of meat to give it to his house tomorrow?"

Chen Si looked at Chen Jing with some surprise, thinking that this guy is not useless, at least he is very quick to turn his mind.

"Who is this?" the eldest son said strangely: "Are you a relative?"

"Oh, let me introduce it to you, this is me..." He looked at Chen Jing silently and said in a little confused for a moment: "What do you call it?" He really couldn't figure out the complex relationship between the big family.

"I don't know much, either." Chen Jing said irresponsibly: "Maybe he is a cousin."

"It should be like this." Chen Jing nodded. He could see that Chen Jing was just getting close to him, so he no longer was polite to him.

"Chaosheng, are you going out?" The eldest son is a tactful person.

"Yes, we're going out." Chen Jing nodded and said, "If you have something to do, go and do it first."

Sinister glared at him, grabbed the eldest son and said, "Didn't you say you're fine today? Let's go shopping."

The eldest son nodded and said, "The work in the field is done, and there is nothing to do for the moment." The fourth young master was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

Seeing them heading west side by side, the silly man was holding a fish basket in his hand. Chen Jing said angrily: "Don't you think it's so heavy?" He grabbed the fish basket and sent it to Wen Taoyuan, where he lived in silence, and walked angrily on the other side of Shen Mo.

The three of them had brocade robe, a cloth robe, and a short robe, representing the rich young men, ordinary scholars and poor farmers. These three people should never be together. But they walked side by side, swaying across the market regardless of the front and back, attracting the attention of passers-by.

For Chen Jing, as long as he can attract others' attention, it is a good thing; the eldest son follows silently, and no one else asks about it, he will never say a word.

As for silence, he was already in amazement... This was actually the first time he stepped on the streets of this era. The wide and smooth stone roads were densely covered with pedestrians. On the left side of the road were lined up with two or three-story buildings with white walls and black tiles, and on the right was clear river water. On the first floor of the small building was open with various shops, and there were various signature flags hanging on the storefronts. Some were very elegant, such as the "Juxiangju" engraved in seal script, and the "Wine Flag Style" written in cursive script. Some were also very straightforward, and they directly painted the things sold on the flags, such as scissors, iron pots, etc.

The river water is accompanied by the road and there is no end. There are narrow and long black-sailed boats coming and going on the river. Every ten feet away, there is a small arched stone bridge for pedestrians to pass by. Each road on the water is on its own, and no one can disturb anyone.

After walking with Chen Si for a while, Chen Jing finally couldn't help but say, "I said, brother, where are you going? Are you really walking along the river?"

"City God Temple." Silently said his destination.

"Which City God Temple?" Chen Jing and Yao's eldest son said in unison this time.

"Oh..." I closed my eyes silently and recalled, and said softly: "The one from Yongchangfang."

It’s not their fault that they asked, because there are three City God Temples in Shaoxing City. In theory, there is only one in a city, and why there are three? This has to start with the City God God. This god who focuses on protecting the city and ensuring public security was still a small god like the Land God. In the past, it was converted into an official position in the National Dynasty, and at most it was a ninth rank, or even a poor person.

However, since the founding of the State Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao, who knew the terrible belief, ordered the construction of the City God Temple to be imitated by the scale of government offices at all levels, and ordered officials at all levels to take the oath of office in the City God Temple when they took office. This greatly raised the status of the City God Temple and made it a necessary building above the county town.

The uniqueness of Shaoxing City is that one city is divided into two halves and is divided into two counties by a boundary river. Kuaiji is to the east and Shanyin is to the west. Since it is two counties, there are naturally two land temples.

Then how did the third building come from? Sorry, because this place is so good, the Shaoxing Prefecture government office is also located in the city. What your county magistrate has, our mayor cannot have nothing, right?
