Chapter 362 There are too many people. Don't take the bus together tomorrow.
Jiang tugged at Li's clothes and whispered, "Sister Li, please be quiet."
"This is a small expense for the Emperor's birthday celebration. It is a token of appreciation from the local officials. How can it be wasted?"
"Don't say such things in the future."
Only then did Li realize that she had accidentally said the wrong thing, and her face turned pale with fright.
I looked around and saw that they were all family members.
I secretly thanked my luck that I was still in the car at the moment, and I only sighed quietly. If I said this after getting out of the car and someone with ulterior motives heard it, it would be terrible.
She quickly said, "Sister Jiang is right. I won't talk nonsense again."
"If I say something inappropriate again, you can pinch me hard to remind me not to talk nonsense."
Li thought about it, and then hurriedly told everyone with a serious face: "No matter how you decorate the Longevity Festival, it is appropriate."
"I just said the wrong thing out of ignorance. Don't follow my example and don't talk nonsense. Do you hear me?"
Seeing that Li and Jiang looked serious, Yutao, Yucheng and the other children nodded and agreed quickly, promising not to say anything nonsense, even though they didn't quite understand why they couldn't say this.
When Shen Yu first heard Li talking about these things, he did not think it was inappropriate. It was only after Jiang reminded him that he realized that he really should not make random comments about the emperor.
She and Zheng Sanniang also quickly expressed their stance that they would never speak nonsense.
After this incident, Li no longer had the interest to look out the window. She sat in the car waiting patiently, sullen and silent.
Everyone sat quietly for a while, but felt that the car was not moving forward at all, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Shen Yu thought for a moment and said, "You guys wait in the car, I'll go down and take a look."
"If it really doesn't work, we can just get off the bus and walk over. It's not far away, and it will be faster than being stuck here."
Li thought for a moment and said, "Let Dun Dun go with you. It's not easy for a girl like you to squeeze forward."
Shen Yu nodded and got out of the car with Dun Dun.
After finally squeezing their way to the roadside, the two stood on the steps and looked ahead, only to find that it was already pitch black in front of them.
Not to mention taking a car, even if you walk there, you probably won’t be able to go fast.
I really didn't expect so many people to come today.
Shen Yu frowned, thinking about how to get through such a large group of people, including old people and children, when he heard a hesitant voice behind him: "Is that Miss Shen in front?"
Shen Yu turned around and saw that it was Lu Lang, Qi Xi and Liu Shun standing on a higher step nearby.
When Lu Lang saw that it was indeed Shen Yu, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He looked Shen Yu up and down, smiled and nodded: "The girl was wearing such clothes, we almost didn't recognize her."
"Why are you standing here with Dun Dun?"
There were so many people at the moment that Shen Yu could not bow, so he bowed slightly and said, "My mother and I are going to Guang'an Temple to listen to a lecture. I didn't expect so many people to come today."
"Mr. Lu, why are you here too?"
Lu Lang explained: "Today is the first day of the blessing ceremony. Not only is there a temple fair, but there are also a variety of performances specially invited by the government to be performed in front of the temple."
"And many people want to come and eat the cakes and pastries at the ceremony, with the intention of sharing the emperor's grace and getting a taste of his blessings."
"The county government is afraid of overcrowding, so they sent runners to maintain order. I came here to see what the situation is like and whether they need to send more people."
Shen Yu suddenly realized, no wonder so many people came today.
Shen Yu looked at the huge crowd and said worriedly, "With so many people coming, I'm afraid the 800 cakes prepared by Master Wen Yuan won't be enough to share."
Lu Lang smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, young lady. Not only will we have cakes to share today, but we've also prepared a lot of fruits and lucky beans."
"Everyone can only receive it once within three days, and can only receive one of the three kinds of food. Over the years, there are still sufficient cakes and pastries."
Shen Yu nodded, secretly laughing at himself for being too nosy.
We can't even enter the temple at this time, and we are still worried about Wen Yuan. We should first think about how to get everyone into Guang'an Temple.
She looked at the dark crowd, sighed worriedly, and wanted to say goodbye to Lu Lang.
I planned to squeeze forward with Dun Dun to see if I could get off the bus, then walk up the stairs on the side of the street and slowly make my way over.
She said, "I guess Mr. Lu is busy right now, so I won't disturb him. We still have to find a way to get into the temple."
Lu Lang said, "Miss Shen, don't leave in a hurry. I'm just about to go to the temple to take a look."
"Why don't you get out of the car and come with me.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu said happily, "Master Lu, are you going to the temple now? That's great. Wait a moment, I'll go and ask my mother and the others to get off the car."
Just as she turned to go down the stairs, Lu Lang called out, "Young lady, please wait. I'll ask Qi Xi to go over and bring Madam Li and the others over."
At this moment, Shen Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong. He was so happy that he forgot that there were people in the two cars in front.
Not only their own family members were going, but in the car in front, there were also Zhou Dalang, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Qi and their entire family of more than 20 people.
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, and could only hesitantly say: "Mr. Lu, I just forgot that not only our whole family is here today, but also Sister Liu and Madam Qi."
"There are so many people... Can you take them all over?"
Lu Lang smiled calmly and said, "Oh, a bit too many? Girl, tell me, how many people are there?"
Shen Yu looked at the three mule carts that were crowded together and had not moved for a long time, and said weakly: "About 27 or 28 people, and there are elderly people too."
There was a lot of noise all around, people calling out to each other, the impatient neighing of mules and horses coming from the blocked convoy, and the shouting of the yamen runners who were maintaining order.
Lu Lang didn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help but ask again: "How much?"
Dun Dun beside him couldn't help but shouted: "Mr. Lu, I just counted, there are a total of 28 people."
Lu Lang's face froze. He didn't expect that Shen Yu's group of relatives and friends was so large. It was indeed difficult to bring so many people over from here.
He thought about it and said, "How about this, you don't have to follow me in through the main entrance."
"I'll let Qixi take you and go in through the back door of Guang'an Temple."
There were too many people. It was impossible to squeeze through the main entrance with so many people, including the elderly and children.
Shen Yu nodded gratefully. Lu Lang sighed and instructed, "If you come to Guang'an Temple again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, don't come with several families, and don't take a car."
"It's better to come earlier in separate groups and gather at the temple. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get in."
Shen Yu agreed, thinking: "Mr. Lu is right. When the three families gather together, we must tell them that we can't come here together in the car again."
