Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 364 Do you want to go to the temple fair with us?

Lu Lang smiled and shook his head, but asked, "Miss, you had to go around the back door to enter the temple just now. Are you late for the lecture?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yu smiled and squatted down to express his gratitude, saying, "I haven't thanked Mr. Lu yet."

"If the Master hadn't asked Qixi to lead us in through the back door today and blocked us there, we might not even be able to get in right now, let alone sit here peacefully and listen to the lecture."

After a pause, he continued, "Mr. Lu, did you come to me to ask this? Or is there anything else?"

Lu Lang pondered for a moment and said, "Nothing happened. I just passed by the Scripture Study Hall and saw you sitting there and about to doze off, so I called you out to get some fresh air."

Shen Yu was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He was caught dozing off and was told off directly.

She had no choice but to admit reluctantly: "Mr. Lu has a very good eye. You saw it all even though I was sitting in the corner."

“I can’t really listen to the stories the masters tell.”

"The voice of the lecture was neither fast nor slow, like hypnosis. I couldn't help wanting to sleep while sitting there."

Shen Yu quickly warned, "Don't tell my mother that I dozed off in the scripture hall. If she knew, she would definitely say that I was not sincere."

Lu Lang nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, I won't tell."

"In fact, I was the same. I accompanied my father to listen to lectures twice, and I wanted to sleep as soon as I sat there. Later, when my father called me again, I always found excuses to refuse."

Shen Yu giggled, took two deep breaths, stretched his arms, and immediately felt a lot more energetic.

She looked towards the main entrance of Guang'an Temple and asked curiously, "Has the temple fair started outside? Are there many people? Or have everyone come here to listen to the lectures?"

Lu Lang also looked over there with Shen Yu: "I just came in from outside, the temple fair has already started, there are quite a few people, and there are still many people going to watch the variety show."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "I came here once during the Ghost Festival. There were a lot of people and it was very lively. However, there were no acrobatics, but I did see dragon and lion dances."

Lu Lang explained: "The temple fair during the Wanshou Festival has many more activities than the Zhongyuan Festival."

"This is the biggest festival after the New Year. These acrobatic artists are all invited by the government to perform after paying money from wealthy families."

Shen Yu sighed helplessly: "Mom and the others insisted that we go with them to listen to the lecture."

"Originally, Yutao and I had agreed to help Master Wenyuan and his friends make pastries and cakes. We would not go to the lectures and would take Yutao, Yucheng, Dundun, Xiaozhuzi and the others to the temple fair."

"I didn't expect Huasu pastries to be made so quickly. Master Wen Yuan and his friends also learn quickly."

"When frying the cakes, we didn't need to help at all. We had no reason to do so, so we just followed along and listened to the lecture."

Lu Lang looked at Shen Yu's depressed expression and couldn't help but want to laugh.

He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I think of a way to call them all out? It's really hard for children to listen to the lecture seriously."

"But Xiao Zhuzi is still too young, so let him stay with Madam Zheng."

Shen Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly, "What good ideas do you have?"

Shen Yu said awkwardly: "It's definitely not possible to just call them out. Mother will nag us again when she goes back."

Lu Lang said seriously: "I just found out that some of the gift tags to be distributed on the Wanshou Festival have not been prepared yet."

"I'm short-handed right now and I can't find anyone to help me. I need to ask Yu Cheng and the others to help me do something."

"After hearing this, the lady will definitely let him go."

Shen Yu hesitated a little: "Is this okay? What if my mother and the others find out the flaw? That would be bad."

Lu Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. I do have some gifts that need to be written on gift labels, and I really need someone to help me this afternoon."

As he spoke, he waved to Qixi and whispered a few words.

Qi Xi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master, leave this matter to me."

Then he walked quickly into the Bible Study Hall.

In just a moment, Qi Xi came out with Yu Tao, Yu Cheng and Dun Dun.

As soon as Yu Tao saw Shen Yu standing there, she came up to her happily and said, "Sister, I guessed that was the idea you came up with. Let Brother Qi Xi call us out. I was almost falling asleep."

Yu Cheng even laughed: "Maodou, Xiaodouzi and the other kids are all asleep. If Qixi doesn't call us, we will fall asleep too."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "You should thank Master Lu. It was he who found a way to call you out so that you can get some fresh air and refresh yourself."

She paused and continued, "But Master Lu said that you guys have to help him write the gift signs this afternoon."

Yutao and the other two nodded happily.

Yu Cheng was even more straightforward and said directly: "Mr. Lu, as long as we are not allowed to listen to the lecture there, we can do anything."

"I heard that we'll have to listen to the lecture for two more days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Can you ask Brother Qixi to call us out again?"

Lu Lang couldn't help but laugh as he listened, and after thinking for a while he said, "Sure, I can never finish writing my gift signs anyway."

Shen Yu laughed when he heard this. This reason was too simple and crude. He wondered whether Li and the others would believe it.

Yutao was thinking about visiting the temple fair.

She boldly asked, "Mr. Lu, can we go to the temple fair first and then help you write the gift sign?"

Lu Lang nodded and said, "Sure, the gift sign is easy to write anyway."

After these words were spoken, Yutao and the others couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly.

Lu Lang waved his hand and walked out first: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk."

"I asked Qixi to tell the lady that after the lecture, they don't have to wait for you to go back. They can go get the pastries or go out for a walk on their own."

"You need to go to the county government office to help me. You need to have lunch there and then go back in the afternoon."

Qi Xi also said happily: "The lady heard that Master Lu asked you to help with something, and she was very happy."

"I want you to listen carefully to Master Lu's words and don't rush back."

The children blushed with excitement. Yu Cheng couldn't wait to say, "What are we waiting for? Let's go to the temple fair."

Shen Yu turned around and asked Lu Lang, "Mr. Lu, do you have anything else to do right now?"

"Would you like to go shopping with us?"

"How about we just hang out for a while and then go directly to the county government office to find you?"

Lu Lang seemed to be waiting for Shen Yu to say this, and nodded and said, "Everything for the Wanshou Festival has been arranged. Two lawyers have taken my father to the county government office. There is nothing to do now, so I will go with you guys for a walk."

Yucheng and Dundun cheered happily and turned to run out of the temple.
