Chapter 191 "I am angry!" (Thanks to Dongfang Mo for the reward, more updates will be added)

It takes about 20 minutes to drive to Jiangcheng Confucian Temple, not too far or too close.

This place was also the school of Jiangcheng County in the early years, but as times have changed, the real center of Jiangcheng has gradually moved away from here.

During this period, the college entrance examination was approaching, and many more parents came here than before.

The Confucian Temple faces the street, and you cannot see the door directly in front. The doors of the Confucian Temple are on the side. When you get off the bus, you can only see a long wall, which is the screen wall.

It was obviously not the first time for grandma to come here. When she got off the car, she looked around and sighed: "It's a bit old and hasn't changed much. Let's go." She then looked for Wen Yu and Fu Chengque, and greeted them when they found them. He walked to his side, pointed at the two giant incense candles that his uncle had just taken out, and asked each of them to carry one.

It really has to be "carried".

This incense candle is wrapped in yellow paper and placed on the ground. It is taller than an adult and exudes a unique fragrance.

Wen Yu held it in his hand, and Fu Chengque held it on his shoulder. One on the left and one on the right looked like guardians holding some kind of weapon.

Walk along the road in front of Zhaobi, pass the Dismounting Monument, and arrive at the East and West Yuanmen. Enter through the Yuanmen, and after walking for a while, Pan Bridge and Panchi will appear in front of you.

Grandma pointed to Pan Bridge and happily said to Fu Chengque: "Your aunt's cousin walked through it once a few years ago and did very well in the exam."

Fu Chengque said immediately: "I want to leave too!"

Wen Yu also shouted: "I'll go up and have a look too!"

The two started running and ran onto the bridge with their three children.

In fact, anyone can leave now.

In ancient times, those who could walk on Pan Bridge had to be meritorious people, but now there are not so many requirements. You can walk if you want. Everyone went up to Pan Bridge and admired the rockery scenery of Panchi under the bridge and the red flowers swimming in the water. Carp, feel happy.

Fu Chengque carried the incense candle and walked with a swagger.

She walked to Wen Yu's side, stared at the carp and asked, "Military advisor, do you have any insights?"

Wen Yu said "Yeah" with a confused look on his face, "What's wrong? Do you know the joy of fish?"

Fu Chengque shook his head: "Superficial! Although I really don't want to say it, I must confess to you that I have already felt the arrival of literary energy, and I have a feeling of enlightenment!"

Wen Yu was surprised, "So awesome!"

The girl raised her chin and said, "This is not what I wanted, it was the saint's choice! Don't be jealous, don't think I ran away, haha... hahaha!"

Wen Yu said "Wow", pretended to be angry, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm so angry!"

"Hahaha……"

After getting off Panqiao and walking along the road for a while, you can see a gate in the archway-style building with "Lingxing Gate" written on it.

Fu Chengque looked up for almost ten seconds, then remained silent, lowered his head and continued walking.

Wen Yu looked like he was laughing to death. He quickly followed Fu Chengque and said, "What the star gate!"

Fu Chengque suddenly raised his head and laughed happily: "Ah ha, you don't know either!"

"Lingxingmen!"

"..."

"Hahaha."

Fu Chengque said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, just read half of the words!"

Wen Yu smiled and pursed his lips: "If you don't believe me, check your phone."

Fu Chengque immediately took out his mobile phone and typed "ling". After flipping through five or six pages, he actually found the word.

Wen Yu laughed wildly and took the opportunity to say, "So you don't know me!"

"..."

Fu Chengque was immediately filled with regret. Damn it, she said that the other half of the character looked very much like the traditional Chinese word "ling", so she should just pronounce it directly! But she was afraid that Wen Yu would laugh at her if she mispronounced it. I missed a good opportunity to show off! It’s better now, but I was laughed at by Wen Yu!

She said "Wow", pretending to be annoyed, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm so angry!"

"Hahaha!"

After entering the Lingxing Gate, you can see the prosperous appearance of the Confucian Temple.

A vast temple appeared in front, bustling with people. In the middle stood a statue of Confucius teaching. In front of the statue were rows of giant incense candles. The candles were full of smoke and the incense was in full bloom.

Someone was lighting a fire in a brazier not far in front of the statue. Grandma said: "Go over there and pay respect to the saint first."

Wen Yu and Fu Chengque rushed to light the incense candles, held them up in front of the saint's statue, worshiped according to grandma's instructions, and then inserted them into the incense candles. Their sincerity was half achieved.

Grandma was the most sincere. She stood in front of the statue, closed her eyes and recited:

"The saint bless my family Qiaoer and Xiaoyu to have a smooth college entrance examination."

"The saint bless Qiaoer and Xiaoyu to be admitted to prestigious universities and bring glory to their ancestors."

"The saint bless my grandchildren to be safe and successful in their studies."

And so on, said a lot straightforwardly.

After praying sincerely, everyone crossed the temple grounds, passed through the Ji Gate, and prepared to go to Dacheng Hall. This is also the most important building in the Confucian Temple, enshrining the sages.

On the way, Fu Chengque slowly approached Wen Yu with his hands behind his back and asked tentatively: "Mr. Wen, what wish did you make?"

"You can't say it." Wen Yu looked intently, "How can you say this?"

"My grandma said it all!"

"Your grandma is a sincere old man. She usually makes a lot of offerings and is very sincere. Even if she doesn't say it, the ancestors and saints will bless her. I am different."

"Why are you different?"

"I'll look at the situation. If you want to use it, make a wish. If you don't need it, don't allow it. I'm not sincere enough!"

Fu Chengque let out a "huh" sound and said with a smile, "You are so good at talking. You can really talk."

Wen Yu didn't answer and stared at Fu Chengque's lips.

The girl was a little dazed at first, not knowing what Wen Yu was looking at. She touched her face a few times, and then she identified the gathering place in her eyes. Her face immediately heated up, and a long-lost shyness welled up.

She took two steps back, glanced hard at Wen Yu, and fled to her grandma.

Dacheng Hall has yellow tiles and cornices, red walls and red pillars, and a white jade railing around the outside. Although it has an old color, it can still be seen that Jiangcheng was a place where talented people were born. Otherwise, where would the money come from to do this?

Of course, modern touches are also integrated into it. For example, under the large gilded characters of "Dacheng Hall", there is a banner with red background and white characters, which reads "Worship the Saint and the First Teacher."

As soon as you enter the hall, you can hear ancient music playing, and the "Teacher of All Times" hangs on the top. The main people worshiping are Confucius and Confucius' disciples.

Grandma took Wen Yu and Fu Chengque to worship together. After kowtowing devoutly, she wanted to say a few more words under the statue of Confucius so that the saint could hear the instructions with his own ears, so she stood up and gave up her place to other pilgrims.

He pulled the two of them to stand aside.

The old man first said earnestly: "You two, you must take the exam carefully. This is a matter of honoring our ancestors, so we can't be careless! I brought you to the Confucian Temple today. Firstly, grandma came to want you to be educated. Secondly, she should also let you be educated."

You know, there are so many children like you around us, all vying for this opportunity, you must seize it!" she said, looking around.

The bustling crowd consisted of parents and elders with one or two children, with different expressions and hurried steps.

Just by looking at them, one can tell that most of the young children who are similar in age to them are this year's college entrance examination candidates. They are both partners and opponents, including Wen Yu and Fu Chengque.

The two looked at each other, made up their mind, and solemnly replied: "I understand, grandma."

Grandma said, unconsciously touching their hands and holding them in her palms, but...her own hands were on top and bottom, and Wen Yu's and Fu Chengque's hands were stacked in the middle.

Wen Yu's face was expressionless.

Fu Chengque's eyes widened because she and Wen Yu were at this moment...

Palm to palm.
