Chapter 010 "Chance Encounter"

Fortunately, these costs are worthwhile

As a person in the entertainment industry, he has an understanding of cosmetics; however, times have changed, and Huang Shang is a typical straight man, lacking any memory of these things

Not only selecting different times, recording the changes in foot traffic each time, but also lingering in front of books and embroidery stalls, becoming quite familiar with the nuns.

The literary style in the world was at its peak, and although the earliest of the Four Great Talents of the Song Dynasty, Li Qingzhao, would not be born for another twenty years, the painting skills of women were generally quite high. Nuns and Taoist priestesses also produced works, but when compared to this painting by Huang Shang, the difference is immediately apparent

There is a beautiful landscape there

It sounds incredible that a nun sells goods in a monk's temple, but in fact, it is quite normal

Huang Shang observed carefully and was quite fond of this contrast

As for female reincarnators, they engage in leisurely activities such as eating and shopping, exploring the unique makeup techniques of this era and catering to lifestyle-oriented needs

However, in this place, these nuns and Taoist priests hardly engage in idle chatter with a stranger beauty

Huang Shang took the flowers, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, and placed them on his head. He thought that girls could also serve as basketball ambassadors, and thus he felt relieved. After paying the cash, he took out a roll of painting from his bag and said: "Please help me take a look at this painting."

Today marks the day with the fewest visitors at the Daxiangguo Temple in recent times. The scent of sweat among the crowd has dissipated significantly, replaced by the fragrance of incense. Groups of women are gathered together, and a subtle body fragrance wafts through the air, which is quite pleasant.

It is a pity that there is a certain urgency; otherwise, it would be even more perfect

The woman saw Huang Shang walk to the side, glanced at him briefly, and quickly turned her head, focusing intently on comparing the headpieces.

Huang Shang looked over one by one, and soon his eyes brightened.

Today is not yet the Wansheng transaction, yet the flow of people is already quite astonishing. Huang Shang, smelling the genuine scent of sweat, asked the horse rental person walking beside him: "Has it always been this crowded here? On which days are there fewer people?"

Huang Shang

Moments later, she suddenly turned to Huang Shang, as if she had discovered some extraordinary treasure, and began to scrutinize him carefully.

All are part of the Buddhist community, and Xiangguo Temple has also arranged fixed accommodations, providing them with assistance to the best of its ability

He does not mind the smell of sweat and pushes his way inside

Finally! Finally!

Huang Shang steadied his anxious heart and walked over

There are household decorations, flowers, birds, insects, and beasts, as well as food, tea, and fruits, along with books and toys

The young nun felt a sense of regret in her heart, yet she continuously praised with her lips

It's my turn to take the stage

However, when another woman, dressed flamboyantly, approached, the charming nun's smile quickly vanished

On a certain afternoon twenty days later, Huang Shang returned from a tutoring session at Zhang Zai's place and passed by the Daxiangguo Temple, entering it.

Without personal experience, it is difficult to imagine that these individuals are not here to pay their respects, but rather to make purchases

Here, five transactions of the Wan surname are held each month. The term 'Wan surname' is indeed an exaggeration, but the number of common people coming here is astonishing, with a wide variety of small items available for sale

... ...

Huang understood clearly and nodded his head

From the main gate to the main hall, various goods are arranged in an orderly manner

He smiled, and the nun at the stall also smiled at him, her brows and eyes curving gracefully

However, in comparison, there is indeed a difference in the attitude towards enjoying life

At a glance, it was nothing significant, but at the signature, she saw a familiar name

Subsequently, he deliberately avoided transactions with the Wan family and would come to the Great Xiangguo Temple when there were fewer people

Huang Shang first went to the book stall, pretending to browse and select, then glanced over towards the women's embroidery area

This is similar to the dramatic drop in online shopping volume the day after Double Eleven

Indeed, there are no absolutes in the affairs of the world, especially when it comes to negligible probabilities that need not be considered; otherwise, one would fail in everything they undertake

The woman was momentarily taken aback, her eyes flickering.

Huang Shang stepped forward, making an effort to discern: "embroidery, collar trim, pearls and jade, headpieces ... ... "

The Daxiangguo Temple was founded during the Northern Qi dynasty, flourished during the Tang dynasty, and reached its peak during the Northern Song dynasty, becoming the foremost royal temple in the world

This painting possesses a grandeur reminiscent of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," depicting the scene of the Daxiangguo Temple, rendered with remarkable vividness

Being overly close to a nun carries risks, as there may be a lemon essence lurking in the shadows, waiting to catch him in his mistakes

If Sangjiavazi is an entertainment venue, then Daxiangguo Temple is a small commodity market

It is unknown whether Lin Daiyu later traveled here, thus obtaining the inheritance

After impulsive spending, it is akin to self-harm; after a rebirth from severed limbs, one will impulsively spend again the following year, and again engage in self-harm

Her exclamations of admiration caught the attention of the woman nearby, who instinctively glanced over a few more times

However, the reincarnator entered early, and there was little time to consider many things

The horse renter laughed and said: "Guest, after the transactions of the myriad surnames, the number of people has decreased."

Certainly, this statement is undoubtedly somewhat exaggerated, as there are numerous female reincarnators who are even more violent in battle than men

The young nun asked, "Is the young master looking to consign?"

He did not know how many times he had looked at the portraits of the male and female reincarnators, as their appearances had already been deeply etched in his mind

Therefore, among the dazzling array of household items for daughters, he recognized only a few, with the exception of Xiaoxiao

Certainly, more people are familiar with Daxiangguo Temple due to the episode of Lu Zhishen uprooting the willows in "Water Margin".

When it comes to the grandeur of pagodas and temples, it has reached its pinnacle

This is the difference between men and women

Although the profit from the headpiece is higher, the young nun is more enthusiastic towards Huang Shang, actively recommending: "Young master should buy silk flowers, wrapped in gold thread and adorned with small beads, which adds a touch of elegance compared to real flowers!"

When Huang Shang's painting was unveiled, the young nun was even more captivated.

At this moment, it was merely a profile view, the attire had changed, yet he still recognized at a glance that this woman was indeed the Reincarnator

Compared to the resplendent grandeur, Shaolin Temple is merely a rural earthen temple

Everyone needs to earn a living

In the city of Tokyo, there are quite a few nun temples. Life is quite frugal, and when the nuns have nothing to do, they do not spend their days merely worshipping Buddha and reciting scriptures, but rather engage in needlework, which they then sell at stalls.

In places like inns, the young attendants may flatter and inform on account of a woman's beauty, potentially revealing his whereabouts

Male reincarnators enter the myriad worlds, contemplating what divine skills they can learn, what magical treasures they can acquire, and how their strength can be enhanced in this world

The headpiece is not a single item, but rather a complete set of head ornaments, consisting of five components: the tiara, the top pin, the side pin, the ear cover, and the hairpin.

Very good

Only after confirming that it had turned to ash did they burn the portrait

At this moment, the woman is standing in front of the stall, looking at a set of headgear

The so-called dexterous hands and agile mind, this row of stalls features the most beautiful embroidery made by this young nun, who is also the most exquisite in appearance. Huang Shang returned a bow and began to select flowers from the stall.

Consignment is an intermediary, acting as a middleman to earn the price difference, resulting in substantial profits

It must be said that the aesthetic of the Song Dynasty is indeed remarkable, even Huang Shang found it very beautiful

As soon as he appeared, the young nun who was setting up her stall immediately bowed and, in a clear and melodious voice, said: "Wishing you endless blessings, young master"

Like repels like

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened as he beheld a beautiful profile.

After Huang Shang conducted his investigation, he had a clear understanding in his mind. He left the Daxiangguo Temple and returned home to begin painting

... ...

When Huang Shang arrived at the back gate of the Daxiangguo Temple, it was already a sea of people.

The woman grew more and more fond of it as she looked, and she had already begun to inquire about the price, preparing to make a purchase

A bed composed of nuns
