Taohuaping is located on a highland in the south of Tonglin County, covering an area of dozens of acres. It is connected to mountains to the south and official roads to the west. It is neither remote nor noisy. It is a place where people in Tonglin County often go for outings in their free time.
.
Lu Zheng and others set out not too early, so when they arrived at Taohuaping, a few people had already arrived.
Ordinary people generally don't have time to come here. They only come out with their families and children during holidays or holidays.
Today is neither a holiday nor a holiday, so those who can go for an outing in Taohuaping are children from wealthy families, or scholars who are not engaged in production.
Outside Peach Blossom Ping, there are small vendors pushing carts or carrying burdens, selling all kinds of food, flowers, small mahogany toys or amulets.
"You didn't bring any food. Are you going to buy it here or go back early?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"Since they're all out, of course I'm going to buy them and eat them." Liu Qingquan said sweetly, "I heard that the peach blossom cakes here are very delicious."
The donkey cart stopped and several people got off.
Sisters Liu Qingyan and Liu Qingquan attracted the attention of the people around them.
She is wearing a pale pink heddle skirt with tangled branches, and a fringed bun with jade and brass attached to it diagonally. There are dots of bead curtains hanging down, and the jade is smooth and slender.
However, Lu Zheng, who was the first to get out of the car, stood next to the two sisters. He saw that he was the flower protector, so most of the people who maintained their identities did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
During the Great Jing Dynasty, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, and the criminal law was strict. Therefore, although there were inevitably some dandy boys, or some flirtatious harassment, there would never be scenes of teasing, playing hooligans, or even raping civilian girls in the street.
Lu Zheng originally thought this was due to the good governance of the Jing Dynasty, but later he realized that this was just one of the reasons.
As for another reason, of course there are talented knights and knights who do justice, and many bullies who bully others have become jokes among local storytellers.
Also, finally…
There are ghosts and retribution in this world. If you really bully someone and force them to death, aren't you afraid that the other person will turn into a ghost and come to retaliate?
This kind of story is also a favorite material for storytellers!
Therefore, despite having a huge backstage or an amazing artistic career, most people would not dare to be too presumptuous, which also made the folk customs of the Da Jing Dynasty relatively simple and harmonious.
"This is why Mr. Liu felt free to let the Liu sisters go out for an outing."
This is good. If you know how to be respectful, you will survive longer.
"The Great Jing Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the bad things that happened at the end of the dynasty have not happened yet. Supernatural powers also contributed a lot." Lu Zheng thought to himself.
Cultivation requires talent, and being rich is only one of the conditions. The Netherworld is not controlled by living people. Rich people probably know the inside story. Who wants to force a ghost to deal with him?
…
"Let's buy some peach blossom shortcakes."
Ignoring all the astonishing looks, Liu Qingquan pulled her sister and skipped to a small vendor carrying a burden.
"Is your peach blossom shortcake delicious?"
"It's delicious!" The vendor was a boy who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. "These peach blossom shortcakes are made from flowers picked by my mother this morning and mixed with dough. They are the freshest and never need to be left overnight.
The peach blossoms are fooling people!"
"Let me see, oh, the pancake is quite big. I'll probably be full after eating one."
"How much does this shortbread of yours cost?" Liu Qingyan stepped forward and asked.
"Three cents a piece, a generous portion!"
"Take three." Lu Zheng said and handed over ten coins.
"Sir, you gave me three nine-penny coins, and you gave me one more penny."
"As a reward, go back and buy a candy to eat."
"Hey, thank you, sir!" The hawker picked out three warm ones from the depth of the load, wrapped them in paper and handed them to Lu Zheng.
"Lu Lang."
Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Don't take it to heart, it's not expensive food."
Liu Qingyan smiled slightly and took her hand away from the money bag at her waist.
At this time, Liu Qingquan had already wandered to another small vendor.
"What's this?"
"This is a peace charm made of peach wood." The vendor hurriedly introduced, "Peach wood can ward off disasters and ward off evil spirits, and can exorcise evil spirits. Our Tonglin County has good Feng Shui and there is such a peach forest. This is made of old peach branches in the forest.
As long as you wear the peace talisman with you, you will have a safe life!"
Liu Qingquan blinked and looked at the peace talisman half the size of a palm in his hand, "This peace talisman can subjugate and drive away demons?"
"right!"
Liu Qingquan looked back at Liu Qingyan, who smiled and said, "I'm just praying for peace and good luck. If you like it, buy one and hang it at home."
"I don't like it." Liu Qingquan pouted and shook her head, "It's not as good-looking as jewelry."
The hawker's face fell.
Jumping to the next store, this vendor sells toys, which are also carved from peach wood.
Liu Qingquan picked around and picked a small wooden mouse. It was fat and looked very cute.
…
The peach blossoms and clouds are charming to the eyes, and a few white butterflies hang on the branches.
The beauty is leaning against the flowers, her face is pretty, and I don't know where the fragrance comes from.
…
Liu Qingquan ran around in the peach forest with the little mouse, but he didn't go too far. He just jumped around and played around the peach trees with Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan, having a great time.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan walked together, admiring the various peach trees and the beautiful peach blossoms in the peach forest.
Liu Qingyan didn't speak, so Lu Zheng could only find something to say.
"That tree looks a bit like a porter carrying a load."
"That tree, I feel like it has more peach blossoms than other trees. It's beautiful."
"Hey, look at that tree, it looks like an old lady running on crutches."
"Chichi!"
Liu Qingyan raised her hands to cover her mouth with her sleeves, but she still couldn't help but laugh out loud. This scene was too strong and too ridiculous.
However, following Lu Zheng's fingers and thinking about what he said, the more Liu Qingyan looked at the peach tree, the more it looked like a rickety old man with fluffy hair trotting quickly with a cane.
"How did you come up with the idea that this... old woman was running?"
"It doesn't look like it?"
"Like!" Liu Qingyan put down her sleeves and showed a happy and angry smile, as if she was a little bit blaming Lu Zheng for making her lose her composure, "It's just that you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have thought of it."
Lu Zheng shrugged and didn't say anything. He doesn't have much imagination now and can't even write online novels anymore.
Liu Qingyan is an ancient person, but Lu Zheng is a modern person. All kinds of jokes come out of his mouth without saying anything, but at least he won't be silent.
While walking and chatting, Liu Qingyan began to talk more.
"Dad's medical skills are actually quite good. In addition to reading medical books thoroughly, he also has extraordinary acupuncture skills."
"There is a very annoying person in my hometown. Although he is too powerful, we can't afford to offend him but we can hide him. He can't be chased to Tonglin County."
"We finished the two bottles of fruit wine you gave us during our two meals yesterday. They are so delicious."
…
"elder sister!"
Liu Qingquan turned out from behind a peach tree not far from the two of them.
Behind her was a stunning woman wearing a pink butterfly and flower brocade palace dress.
