The so-called feeling of being pierced by thousands of arrows is probably what he feels now.
The master and servant rode in a carriage to the young master's residence, but before they reached the intersection, the carriage could not pass.
There were so many people, it was extremely crowded.
Chang Wuyi slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered, "Master, we have to walk in."
"What happened?" Shi Chengxuan frowned.
Chang Wu lowered his voice to explain, "Isn't there a huge locust tree at the entrance of the Young Master's Mansion?"
"What's wrong?" Shi Chengxuan waved his hands impatiently, "Isn't it just an old tree?"
"Oh my god, you don't know." Chang Wu approached mysteriously, "I don't know who spread the word that this tree is very spiritual. It can bring people back to life, make the poor and destitute rich and prosperous, bless scholars to pass the imperial examinations, make women who have been childless for many years pregnant, and even make lovers finally get married."
Shi Chengxuan sneered, "Nonsense!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a group of officials and their wives, dressed in luxurious clothes, kneeling devoutly under the tree.
The leading woman clasped her hands together and muttered, "Princess, please bless my son to get into high school next year."
The maid behind him was tying a red silk on a tree branch. On the silk were four golden characters "Zhuangyuan Jidi" embroidered clearly.
There was also a sickly young man who was supported by someone. He kowtowed to the locust tree and begged the princess to bless him with good health.
But what each of them was praying for was not "the blessing of the tree god", but "the blessing of the princess".
Shi Chengxuan stared at the scene in front of him in amazement.
The old locust tree that he was so familiar with was now covered with red silk and golden bells on its branches, with yellow paper for blessing pasted on its trunk and offerings piled up at its roots. In the sunset glow, the whole tree was glowing with an eerie golden light.
After praying, the crowd rushed to the door of the young master's mansion and placed all kinds of gifts on both sides of the vermilion lacquered door.
Shi Chengxuan saw clearly that a white-haired old woman tremblingly put down a paper boat and a paper crane, and the words "peace and joy" were densely written on the paper.
A little boy with a pigtail hairpin stood on tiptoe and tied a lucky knot woven with colorful ribbons on the door knocker; the most eye-catching thing was a "patchwork quilt" made of scraps of cloth, each patch was embroidered with a different surname, and it glowed with warm colors under the setting sun.
Chang Wu said, "Master, you see, in fact, the things are not valuable, but the thought behind them is very precious."
As if in response to his words, the red lacquer door slowly opened. An extremely beautiful woman came out, it was Yao Sheng.
But she bowed solemnly to the crowd before signaling the maids behind her to move.
The well-trained maids carefully picked up each item. The old woman's paper boat and paper crane were put into a sandalwood box, the children's colorful ribbons were wrapped in brocade handkerchiefs, and the patchwork quilt was specially folded and placed in a gilded box.
In short, they are put into different categories and are treasured like precious treasures.
"The princess has ordered," Yao Sheng's clear voice was particularly clear, "all the dowries of the people of Beiyi must be taken to Liang State. The princess said that this is the people's love for her, and it is also her confidence and the foundation of her life."
Shi Anxia set out from the capital of Beiyi with heavy blessings and embarked on a new journey.
On the day she set out, the emperor received a heavy news: Prince Guizheng Xiao Zhi was washed away by the flood.
