Going to the temple fair during the Spring Festival was an old custom that the people of Shangjing had followed for many years.
The Earth Temple Fair was only held for eight days, but in these short eight days, it received more than a million visitors, which was really lively.
Each temple fair had its own special performances, and the Earth Temple Fair performed the Qing Dynasty palace ritual.
This ritual would strictly follow the worship process of the Qianlong Emperor, and the costumes and props were also made according to the historical records, so that the people could see how the emperor worshipped the earth.
The ticket for the temple fair was only ten yuan, so compared to going to the mall and watching a movie, it was actually a very down-to-earth entertainment. Usually, a large family of men and women of all ages came together, not to buy anything, but simply to stroll around. It was very happy to squeeze together and watch the fun.
Six adults and one child walked with a cat. Qin Yongyan and Qin Yongwang walked in the front, while Qin Ruoying and Qin Xueqing walked side by side. The two sisters hadn't talked for a long time, and now they were together whispering something.
Chen Xi and Wang Chunju were walking together, while the little fellow was lying on Wang Chunju's shoulder, holding a windmill in her hand. Looking at the bustling scene of people jostling shoulder to shoulder, she was very happy.
The family came out to stroll, so naturally, they had to chat on the road.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, Wang Chunju turned her head and looked at Chen Xi with a smile. She casually said, "You are Yingying's husband. If I call you my nephew's husband, it always feels a bit awkward … How about I call you little Chen, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Chen Xi smiled and replied, "Second aunt, you are too polite. You are an elder, so you can call me whatever you want."
"Well, then don't blame me for taking advantage of my seniority and putting on the airs of an elder in front of you."
"Why would I? Second aunt, you are joking. "
"Haha …"
The two of them chatted awkwardly for a while.
At this time, the little fellow saw a barbecue skewer stall nearby, so she shouted to eat barbecue skewers.
"Papa! I want to eat that! Meat! Meat! "
Gluttonous Baby smelled the aroma of the barbecued meat, and his saliva almost flowed out.
Thus, Chen Xi went to buy a few mutton skewers for her.
When Chen Xi bought the meat skewers for her and the little girl was eating them, Wang Chunju suddenly asked in a seemingly casual manner, "Little Chen, has Ming Qing ever told you about the Wu Lian?"
"Yes, I did."
Chen Xi nodded. He already knew what Wang Chunju wanted to say to him.
After all, Chen Xi had heard how Xiaowang addressed Qin Yongyan and Wang Chunju when he was delivering the car.
Secretary Qin, Director Wang.
The administrative levels of Hua Xia could be divided into five levels: national level, provincial level, departmental level, county level, and township level.
The director-general was a department level official, equivalent to an ordinary mayor of a prefecture-level city, or the head of a provincial public security department or the head of a provincial education department.
From this, it could be seen that Qin Yongwang's status in Wu Lian was really not low. At least, he was at the level of Shintaro Abe.
Celestial beings were really too eye-catching.
Because of Qin Ruoying, Chen Xi was related to his sister-in-law's family, and their family was the backbone of the Wu Lian. Now, naturally, they wanted to pull Chen Xi into the Wu Lian.
The word "relationship" was a very magical existence in the eyes of Westerners. Because there was no corresponding translation of this word in other languages, they specially invented an English word: Guanxi.
China -style relationship.
A simple example could be given. Once the people of Hua Xia were in trouble, the first thing they would think of was not a lawyer, but an acquaintance. Through their acquaintances and friends, they could get in touch with the government to solve the problem.
The word "relationship" represented many meanings, and there were many usages.
The word itself was a neutral word. How to use it, where to use it, and whether it was appropriate to use it. This was why it carried both positive and negative meanings.
Not long ago, his sister-in-law asked Chen Xi if he was willing to join the Wu Lian. Today, Wang Chunju did the same thing again.
It was foreseeable that if Chen Xi still did not agree today, then Qin Yongwang, or even Qin Yongyan, might come forward to invite him to join the Wu Lian.
If that still did not work, then Qin Ruoying would probably have to come forward and persuade him …
This was probably the so-called "people in Jianghu have no choice".
As long as Chen Xi still had concerns in his heart, then he could not ignore some things in this world.
Join the Wu Lian?
It was still the same words, not considering.
It was not that he disliked the Wu Lian. He simply found it troublesome.
There was no free lunch in this world. The Wu Lian could not support a group of people without doing anything.
Chen Xi was now used to being lazy. Except for his wife and children, he really did not want to run errands for others.
Apart from not wanting to run errands for others, he also didn't have any desire to compete for the throne. So now, as long as he could stay by the hot bed every day and laugh with his wife as they watched the little one grow up day by day, he was already very satisfied.
The little fellow did not know that her father was so unambitious.
After eating a skewer, she suddenly thought of Chen Xi, so she handed one of the skewers to Chen Xi and grinned. "Papa, the skewers are delicious! You eat too! "
"Good girl, good girl!"
Chen Xi took the skewer from the little fellow with a smile and ate it.
The little fellow turned to ask Wang Chunju if she wanted to try, but Wang Chunju shook her head with a smile and then wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Wang Chunju did not speak, but her attention was always on Chen Xi.
Chen Xi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her.
On second thought, instead of being remembered by the Wu Lian like this, it was better to take this opportunity to make it clear to them.
So Chen Xi looked at Wang Chunju and said to her directly, "The reason why you want me to join the Wu Lian is that you want to use me to deter other forces, right?"
"Well, you can think of it that way..."
Wang Chunju nodded. When she was about to say something, Chen Xi did not give her a chance to speak at all. Instead, he continued, "Then you can announce to the public that I have joined the Wu Lian. Anyway, I can't jump out and expose you, right?"
"How can that be? You are a celestial being. If you are willing to join the Wu Lian, you should be treated accordingly..."
"I don't need any special treatment, so I won't join the Wu Lian."
Hearing Chen Xi's resolute answer, Wang Chunju could not help showing a trace of disappointment in her eyes, although she had been prepared for it.
What a pity.
However, just as Wang Chunju was feeling disappointed, Chen Xi said with a smile, "How about this, if the Wu Lian has any problems that can't be solved, I can be a guest, but only once. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Wang Chunju's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "Promise?"
"It's a deal."
In fact, this was not a simple conversation between an aunt and a niece, but a direct conversation between a Wu Lian and a celestial being.
The meaning of this promise was not simple.
