Peach Blossom Glade, located on a high ground south of Tonglin County, covers an area of dozens of acres. It is connected to the continuous mountains in the south and borders the official road in the west. It is neither remote nor noisy, making it a popular place for the people of Tonglin County to go for spring outings during their leisure time.

Lu Zheng and the others didn't set off too early, so when they arrived at Peach Blossom Glade, some people had already arrived.

Ordinary people generally don't have time to come, only during festivals or ten-day holidays, when they bring their families and children out to relax.

Today is neither a festival nor a ten-day holiday, so those who can come to Peach Blossom Glade for a spring outing are either children from wealthy families or scholars who don't engage in production.

Outside Peach Blossom Glade, there are small vendors pushing carts or carrying burdens, selling all kinds of food, as well as selling flowers and peach wood toys or Peace Talismans.

"You didn't bring any food, are you planning to buy it here, or go back early?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask.

"Since we're already out, of course we'll buy it here," Liu Qingquan said in aSweetly soft voice, "I heard that the Peach Blossom Pastry here is very delicious."

The donkey cart stopped, and the group got out of the cart.

The Liu Qingyan and Liu Qingquan sisters attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.

Wearing a light pink dress with entwined branches, a yellow copper jade hairpin with tassels inserted diagonally on her Tassel bun tassel bun, and drooping beaded curtains, she was graceful and charming, with a radiant jade face and a slender figure.

However, Lu Zheng, who got out of the cart first, stood beside the sisters, and it was clear at a glance that he was a protector of the flowers, so most of the people who valued their status did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

The Great Jing Dynasty is prosperous and peaceful, with a grand atmosphere, and the criminal law is strict. Therefore, although it is inevitable that there will be Prodigal sons spoiled young masters, or a few frivolous harassments, there will never be a plot of molesting women on the street or even forcibly robbing women.

Lu Zheng originally thought that this was due to the effective governance of the Great Jing Dynasty, but later he learned that this was only one of the reasons.

As for another reason, of course, there are chivalrous experts with extraordinary abilities who act chivalrously, and many local bullies who rely on their power have become Joke jokes in the mouths of local storytellers.

In addition, finally...

This world has ghosts and retribution, are you really not afraid of the other party turning into a vengeful ghost to avenge you if you bully people and force them to death?

This kind of story is also a popular material for storytellers!

Therefore, without a monstrous background or amazing skills, most people dare not be too presumptuous, which also makes the folk customs of the Great Jing Dynasty relatively simple, harmonious.

"This is also the reason why Old Man Liu is relieved to let the Liu family sisters come out for a spring outing."

This is good, knowing awe will allow you to survive longer.

"The Great Jing Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and those troubles in the late dynasty have not yet occurred, and supernatural power has also contributed a lot," Lu Zheng thought.

Cultivation requires talent, and having money is only one of the conditions. The Netherworld is not controlled by living people, and rich people probably know the inside story. Who wants to force a ghost to deal with themselves?

"Let's buy some Peach Blossom Pastry."

Ignoring the various amazing gazes, Liu Qingquan pulled her sister and hopped to a small vendor carrying a burden.

"Is your Peach Blossom Pastry delicious?"

"Delicious, delicious!" The vendor was a child who looked only eleven or twelve years old, "This Peach Blossom Pastry is made with fresh flowers picked by my mother this morning, and the dough is made into a shortbread. It's the freshest, and I will never use overnight peach blossoms to fool people!"

"Let me see, oh, the cake is quite big, I guess I'll be full after eating one."

"How much is one of your shortbreads?" Liu Qingyan stepped forward and asked.

"Three Written copper coins a piece, the portion is very sufficient!"

"Take three." Lu Zheng said and handed ten Written copper coins over.

"Young master Young Master, three pieces are nine Written copper coins, you gave one Written copper coin too much."

"I'll reward you, go back and buy a candy."

"Hehe, thank you, Young master Young Master!" The vendor took out three still warm pieces from the depths of the burden, wrapped them in paper and handed them to Lu Zheng.

"Lu Lang."

Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Don't take it to heart, it's not some precious food."

Liu Qingyan smiled lightly and took her hand away from the money bag on her waist.

At this time, Liu Qingquan had already wandered to another small vendor.

"What is this?"

"This is a Peace Talisman made of peach wood," the vendor hurriedly introduced. "Peach wood can ward off disasters, dispel evil, subdue demons, and drive away ghosts. Our Tonglin County has good feng shui, with such a peach forest. This is a Peace Talisman made from the branches of old peach trees in the forest. As long as you wear it, you will be safe for life!"

Liu Qingquan blinked, looking at the Peace Talisman, which was half the size of her palm. "This Peace Talisman can subdue demons and drive away ghosts?"

"Yes!"

Liu Qingquan turned to look at Liu Qingyan, who smiled and said, "It's just to seek peace and good luck. If you like it, buy one and hang it at home."

"I don't like it." Liu Qingquan pouted and shook her head. "It's not as pretty as jewelry."

The vendor's face fell.

She skipped to the next stall, where a peddler was selling toys, also carved from peach wood.

Liu Qingquan picked and chose, finally selecting a wooden carved little mouse, plump and very cute-looking.

Peach blossoms and misty clouds dazzle the eyes, a few pink butterflies hang on the branches.

A beautiful woman leans against the flowers, her face fair, unaware of where the fragrance comes from.

Liu Qingquan ran around in the Peach Blossom Glade with the little mouse, not going too far, just around Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan, jumping and playing around the peach trees, having a great time.

Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan walked side by side, admiring the various shapes of the peach trees and the beautiful peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Glade.

If Liu Qingyan didn't speak, Lu Zheng could only try to find something to talk about.

"That tree looks a bit like a porter carrying a load."

"That tree, it feels like the peach blossoms on it are more abundant than other trees, beautiful."

"Hey, look at that tree, it looks like an old lady running with a cane."

"Chuckle!"

Liu Qingyan raised her hand to cover her mouth with her sleeve, but couldn't help but laugh. The imagery was too strong and too absurd.

However, following Lu Zheng's finger and thinking along with his words, the more Liu Qingyan looked at the peach tree, the more it looked like a hunched old woman with disheveled hair, hurrying along with a cane.

"How could you think of this... this old woman running?"

"Doesn't it look like it?"

"It does!" Liu Qingyan lowered her sleeve, revealing a smiling face that was both happy and slightly reproachful, as if blaming Lu Zheng for making her lose her composure. "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought of it."

Lu Zheng shrugged, not saying anything. If his imagination wasn't big enough, he wouldn't be able to write web novels anymore.

Liu Qingyan was an ancient person, but Lu Zheng was a modern person. He wouldn't necessarily rattle off jokes, but at least he wouldn't let the conversation fall flat.

As they walked and talked, Liu Qingyan began to speak more.

"Father's medical skills are actually quite good. Besides reading medical books, he also has an extraordinary acupuncture technique."

"There's a very annoying person in our hometown. Although his power is too great, we can't afford to offend him, but we can afford to avoid him. He can't chase us to Tonglin County."

"The two bottles of fruit wine you sent were finished in two meals yesterday. They were really delicious."

"Sister!"

Liu Qingquan turned out from behind a peach tree not far from them.

Behind her was a stunning woman wearing a pink Hundred Butterflies Through Flowers Brocade Palace Dress.

Thanks to fellow daoist Silence is Gold102 for the five hundred reward!
