Tang Mo'er's eyes were filled with mist and murmured, "Is this a mandarin duck?" There are two flying birds in it, named mandarin duck. She sings with her head up to each other, and every night, it is the only bird like this that is the most loyal."

Chen Ao smiled and said that it was good for mandarin ducks to fly together, but he knew that mandarin ducks were the most fickle birds. The pair of mandarin ducks who stayed together in the morning, and at night, the male birds had already changed a partner, but the ancients could tell that the female birds had changed hands and were still constantly praising the loyalty of mandarin ducks.

Chen Aoi couldn't say these words, and smiled and said, "Why should Miss Mori be sad? Although this bird is dying, isn't this also its wish?"

Tang Moer said: "Young Master Chen is really a cruel person."

Chen Ao silently, but went to see the scenery in the backyard, looking at the small flower garden that was opened and said, "Are these flowers and plants planted by Miss Mori?"

Tang Moer said in a hurry: "Young master knows how to appreciate flowers?"

Chen Ao smiled bitterly and said, "I can't appreciate flowers, but I'm very proficient in drinking flower tea."

Tang Moer smiled sweetly, but frowned at the red-crowned crane again.

At this time, Mrs. Tang poured tea and asked the two to sit in the hall. When she faced Chen Ao, she complained: "Your master is really annoying. She finally had a few days of leisure, but she looked for friends everywhere. He ignored this family anyway."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "Mr. Tang has a wide range of friendship, so the master's wife should be happy."

Mrs. Tang spat: "How happy am I? This huge burden has never fallen on him."

He poured tea for Chen Ao, put it in front of Shen Ao, and continued, "This kind of thing is not told to outsiders, but Mr. Chen is not an outsider. Don't defend him, it's fine to listen."

Chen Ao had no choice but to go to have tea with a smile and said, "Students understand."

Mrs. Tang kept saying: "You will have a palace examination in a few days, which is related to your future. Don't be careless."

Chen Ao nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the teacher's wife teaches you, and the students remember it."

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "You are so polite."

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Tang seemed to remember something and said, "Tomorrow there will be a temple fair in the City God Temple. It is said that the living gods of the Tianyi Sect will do rituals personally. The magical powers of living gods are extremely vast, and they can cure all diseases, turn stones into gold, and have endless immortal methods. Chen Ao will go tomorrow, and ask the living gods to bless you in the palace examination at that time... But this matter..." Mrs. Tang lowered her voice and said, "Don't tell your Lord Tang. If he knows, he doesn't know what to say. A gentleman respects ghosts and gods and stays away from them. He is scared. He respects ghosts and gods, why are he alienated? Your master is confused about reading and reading, so don't be so confused."

Tang Moer said, "Mom, Mr. Chen is also a scholar. How can I teach him to believe in ghosts and gods? I don't believe in these tricks."

Mrs. Tang suddenly fell silent and said angrily: "What are the silly girls saying nonsense? Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, don't say anything blasphemous in the future. This living god, Tianzun, has great supernatural powers. I have seen it with my own eyes. Is this kind of thing still fake? You girl is also stupid in reading. A woman has no talent and virtue. This sentence is right. It's just a matter of being confused for a moment. When you were a child, your father held you to study, but did not send you away. Look, look, what's the word like now."

Tang Mo'er suddenly said aggrievedly: "Why can't a woman study? No talent is virtue, but I don't believe it."

Chen Ao quickly looked at his nose and his heart, and sat still without moving. It was difficult for him to get involved in such family affairs, but Chen Ao actually didn't believe in such a living god.

However, in this era, there is a market for living Buddhas and gods. It is said that even emperors, they also highly praised immortal arts and worked from the top and the bottom. The local governments did not dare to ban them at will, which gradually contributed to this trend.

Mrs. Tang said again: "Young Master Chen, don't listen to Mo'er's nonsense. She is unstoppable. I will take you to the temple fair tomorrow. You will pray for blessings yourself, and you may be blessed by the gods."

Chen Ao was embarrassed for a moment. He looked at Tang Moer, saw her shaking her head at her, and then saw Mrs. Tang's earnest eyes. He weighed for a moment: "Then go and go for a temple fair and join in the fun."

Mrs. Tang was overjoyed and said, "This is great. Many neighbors in the street will go together tomorrow. You can come here early in the morning and don't delay things."

Chen Ao responded, after eating here, he went back to the Duke's Mansion. The palace examination was getting closer and closer. He was about to take the opportunity to relax, but he had never experienced the temple fair, but was full of interest.

The next morning, the wife asked him to go over, and Chen Ao said he was going out today. The wife asked him where he was going. The wife worshiped the Buddha. Chen Ao did not dare to say that he would go to watch the living gods, so he just said that he had an appointment with a few classmates.

After saying goodbye to the wife and arrived at the Tang family, Mrs. Tang had already gotten up, wearing a newly cut dress, and said happily: "You and Moer are waiting here, I'll call a few neighbors to go with you."

Tang Mo'er came out and saw Chen Ao pursed her lips and said, "Does Mr. Chen really want to pray for blessings?"

Chen Ao said seriously: "There is no need to pray for blessings. It is my hobby to watch the living gods. I want to see what mysterious things are doing."

Tang Moer burst out laughing and said, "You are not serious."

After a while, Mrs. Tang called someone outside the yard. Chen Ao and Tang Moer both went out and saw a few more women beside Mrs. Tang. They looked at Chen Ao one by one, but they were all smiling, which was very meaningful.

Mrs. Tang said to everyone: "This is my distant relative. Today he came to visit him, so he took him to the temple fair."

He said that Chen Ao was a distant relative, so for the sake of convenience, Chen Ao understood and hurriedly said, "Yes, this time I came to visit my aunt and happened to go to the temple fair to see it."

Several women laughed and said, "This scholar looks pretty handsome, but I don't know if Xu Guo has kissed him." They said nothing and joked with Mrs. Tang. Even though Chen Ao was thick-skinned, he was slightly red at this moment.

Chen Ao followed behind, and Mrs. Tang pulled Tang Moer and several women side by side. Most of these women had a good relationship with Mrs. Tang. One of them was quite competitive. Along the way, he was talking about his daughter marrying Liu Juren from the east of the city. He also said that Liu Juren's family was so wealthy and how many gifts he gave to him to enjoy.

After a change of topic, he said to Tang Moer: "You are so old, why don't you find a good husband quickly. If you delay any longer, those young masters and scholars will not care about them."

Tang Moer was speechless, but she just lowered her head and held her mother and followed her step by step.

Seeing that Tang Moer did not answer, the woman said to Chen Ao again: "Young Master's accent seems a bit weird. I wonder if you are a foreigner?"

Chen Ao’s accent is really a bit different from that of Bianliang.

Chen Ao fooled her casually: "Yes, I came to Bianjing to join my relatives."

The woman smiled and said disdainfully: "When you come to Bianjing, you should go to the temple fair. The temple fair at the foot of the emperor is different from the market in other places. Mr. Chen, I think the quality of your clothes is not bad, and you are wearing a lintel. Could it be that you have already achieved fame? I'm afraid you are already a scholar."

Chen Ao nodded with a smile.

The woman said, "It is good to have a fame, but if you listen to Lao Zhen's advice, Lao Zhen also has a few words to say. I have countless scholars from ancient times to the present, but how many people can do high school? Every imperial examination and scholars filled Bianjing City, but what about it? How many people are truly proud of it?"

When she said proud, she said proudly: "For example, my Xianxu, although he passed the imperial examination, he knew that it was a huge difficulty to pass the imperial examination. He was not nerdy. He had a fame and fortune anyway, so he started some business. Although he was cheap, his money was really good, right? In just a few years, he has made a fortune and bought a big house in the east of the city. Tell me, tell me, is this the truth?"

Chen Ao didn't want to pay attention to her, so he just said, "It's not bad at all."

Mrs. Tang obviously didn't like this woman, so she quickly waved to Chen Ao: "Chen Ao, come to me to speak."

Seeing Mrs. Tang like this, how could the woman not know what Mrs. Tang meant, and she flashed unhappy in her eyes and said, "Just like Mrs. Tang, although her husband was successful and had a royal title for her, what? What's the difference between us, the poor? So, this is not something that ordinary people can do. As an official, he is naturally furious and angry. However, some people are both shabby and decent. What's the use of such an official?"

This kind of open and secret struggle between women is often more intense than family, palace, and political struggle. The woman doesn't know if it is because someone praised Chen Ao and handsome, and she is comparative in her heart. She deliberately sacrificed her son-in-law, but she never thought that what she said just now touched Mrs. Tang's rebellious scales. Mrs. Tang said lightly: "Although my husband can't be an official, he can be a human being. He wants to be a person. Although his family is poor, we can eat delicious food and sleep, and we don't have to rely on others to rest. We are happy."

She usually complained that Tang Yan would not make money back, but at this moment, she was trying hard to protect her and suddenly became a lay Buddhist who was content with poverty and had no desires, with a hint of pride on her face.

The woman sneered: "Yes, this is like my son-in-law did something shameful." Then she stopped talking.
