Song Heng rode a horse, Liu, Lin Qingxue and Song Ziyu took a carriage with their servants, and Shen Wan and the others took another.
Behind the carriage were Qiao Mu and Zhang San, who were wearing ordinary clothes, and then the group headed in the direction of Huguo Temple.
Today, there are many people leaving the city, and most of them are going to Huguo Temple. This is the custom of Dongchen Kingdom. On the first day of the new year, they go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
There are also many carriages on the official road, and the distance between carriages is no more than two meters. Therefore, the driving process can be said to be quite slow.
After feeling that the carriage was not moving much, Shen Wan lifted the curtain of the window, stretched out her head and looked forward. She saw a carriage procession with no end in front, and a procession of carriages with no end in the rear. On both sides of the official road, there were There were many people walking, and it was obvious that everyone had a common destination, which was Huguo Temple.
Shen Wan thought that traffic jams only happened in modern times! She didn’t expect that they would also happen in ancient times.
"How long will it take to go up the mountain?" Shen Wan lowered the car curtain and sat down.
This is still the official road! We have to go up the mountain road later. The mountain road is not as spacious as the official road, so it will be even more congested. If we continue like this, we may not be able to go up the mountain in the afternoon.
Wuyi was impatient and said, "Why don't we get off the car and walk up the mountain!"
"What do you think?" Shen Wan looked at the two children. She didn't have any objections.
Ling'er and Song Ziling looked at each other, and then nodded to Shen Wan at the same time.
Shen Ming had no objection. Moreover, he felt that the weather was good today. It was rare that the sun came out and there was no snow. It was also good to walk up the mountain.
So, Shen Wan asked the coachman to stop the carriage, and they all got off the carriage.
Song Heng, who was riding a horse and walking slowly ahead, saw Shen Wan and the others getting off the car, so he turned his horse and walked over.
"Why did you get off the car?" he asked.
Song Ziling replied: "The carriage is too slow, let's walk up."
Song Heng looked at the endless queue and wondered when he would be able to go up the mountain. However, it would take almost half an hour to walk from here to the foot of Nanshan Mountain! It was not far, not far.
"It takes a long time to walk!"
Shen Wan said: "That's faster than riding a carriage. Let's just walk and take in the scenery."
Song Heng thought for a while and realized that what she said was right. Even if it took a long time to walk, it would be faster than a carriage. Moreover, he also saw that many people on the carriage got out of the carriage behind him, and they seemed to be planning to walk.
"Okay, then you can walk!" After saying that, Song Heng turned the horse's head and went to the carriage in front.
"Mom" he called while riding on the horse.
"What's wrong?" Ms. Liu raised the car curtain.
Song Heng said: "This road is too congested, why not walk up the mountain!"
"walk?"
As soon as they heard the word "walk", everyone in the car frowned. It's such a long distance and you have to walk on a mountain road! How tiring it is!
Song Heng added, "Many people got out of the car and walked. I don't know how long the bus will last! If we go by car, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to Huguo Temple in the afternoon."
Mrs. Liu frowned and said, "But my legs and feet are not very good!"
Although Mrs. Liu used to be an old country lady who could pick things up, carry her, and climb mountains, her limbs have deteriorated due to her pampering in the past few years. She can no longer walk without someone to hold her hands, let alone let her We have come so far.
Song Heng thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you ride your son's horse? You ride and my son leads it."
Mrs. Liu was a little scared when she looked at the horse. She shook her head and said, "I don't ride a horse either. It's too high and scary."
