Leaving the deserted Wen's house, one can feel the festive atmosphere of looking forward to the spring as soon as one goes out. All kinds of lanterns are hung on the door of every house, waiting to be lit at night.

The market that goes to the market brings together things from all corners of the country, and the streets are crowded with crowds, which is very lively.

Children will gather together to shuttle in the streets and alleys, holding small firecrackers in their hands, and invite their friends to play together.

In the original text, the master and the apprentice didn't care about this festival, they were just busy with business.

And now the two are walking in the bustling market, blending into the festive atmosphere.

However, Gu Baiqing found that the little apprentice was a little absent-minded after he came out. It's strange, wasn't he looking forward to it?

According to the custom of Wang Chunri, Gu Baiqing first took Xiao Xuanli to eat Baihua lotus seed soup.

This kind of Baihua lotus seed soup is only available on the day of the festival, and it is similar to the official free distribution, that is, a big pot is placed in the center of the town, and everyone can ask for a bowl. The local wealthy gentry donate some silver beans and put them in the Baihua lotus seeds In the soup, whoever eats it means happiness and health in the coming year, which is a kind of good wish.

And because the winning rate is very low, it arouses everyone's psychology of participation. Everyone wants to be the luckiest person in the town, so at this time the pavilion in the center of the town is already full of people.

Basically, children are actively participating in this kind of event, and adults are just joining in the fun, so most of the children line up to receive the lotus seed soup.

Gu Baiqing and Xiao Xuanli, who looked like wealthy people, young talents, were also in the team, no matter how abrupt they looked.

But looking at Xiao Xuanli's expectant eyes in a daze, Gu Baiqing relaxed and participated in it.

"Brother, when you eat later, you must eat it in small bites. If you eat silver beans, you must save them, and you can bless them for a whole year." Infected by the atmosphere of the children around, Xiao Xuanli also became excited. , as if about to reach out to touch the prize, eager to try.

"Okay, I see." Gu Baiqing smiled and looked at Mo Xuanli's slightly flushed cheeks, it seemed that his mood had improved.

When it was the turn of the two people to line up, they heard the person on the side whispering: "There are a lot less rich gentry donating this year. Two hours have passed, and no one has eaten. I guess there is no one in this pot." A few silver beans."

"Ah, those wealthy gentry didn't notice this matter this year. The fairy statue's hands are gone, and they are all busy helping to restore them."

While listening, Gu Baiqing took two bowls and handed one of them to Xiao Xuanli behind him.

Xiao Xuanli happily held his hand and followed his brother to the side of the tree, eating slowly.

Many porridge eaters gathered under the tree, and some children ate it to the end, looking at the adults with mournful faces. "Daddy, I didn't win."

"It's so easy to win, let's eat it next year."

"Ah, I don't want it, I want silver beans."

"What do you want? Look, Xiao Hua didn't get any..."

The adults coaxed the children to compare them with other families, and they didn't feel so sad when they didn't win.

As a result, at this moment, the tall man by the side of the tree suddenly called out like a child in surprise, "Brother, I've won. Look, it's a silver bean!"

From setting up the stall until now, this is the first one, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.

Some children cried with envy, while the adults said congratulations, while looking at the man's excitement for eating silver beans with weird eyes.

"Xuanli is so lucky." Gu Baiqing looked at Xiao Xuanli pinching the silver beans with his fingers, his eyes lit up with joy, his brows and eyes were bent into crescent moons, and he almost jumped up, the excitement seemed to be contagious Yes, even the sun shone brighter on him.

Xiaoxuanli’s hometown, Wangchunri, also has the custom of eating lotus seed soup, but the name is different, but he also takes eating silver beans as a blessing. At that time, he heard about this custom and was full of expectations. It is said that people who eat silver beans will have a future You will have good luck throughout the year, and you can also bring blessings to those around you, and you will become a little lucky star in your family.

He wanted to be a lucky star in the eyes of his family, so he asked his friends very flatteringly if there was any trick to eating silver beans, and the answer he finally got was luck, which made Xiao Xuanli worry for a while, although he didn't have a chance to try it in the end. But I didn't expect to eat silver beans for the first time here.

Xiao Xuanli held the silver beans as if he was holding some kind of treasure, because he always felt that he was unlucky, even though he was full of expectations, there was always a sense of inferiority in his heart, thinking that this kind of luck like finding a needle in a haystack would never come. on my own head.

But thinking about it now, if he could meet such a good brother, his luck must have reversed long ago.

Look, now he has eaten silver beans!Many friends may not be able to eat it for several years, but he can eat it as soon as he eats it!

"Brother, have you finished eating?" After Xiao Xuanli was over excited, seeing that Gu Baiqing's bowl had bottomed out, he was not so happy immediately.

The person who made the porridge before came to collect the bowl. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Silver beans are a symbol of good fortune. How can they appear together. It is a great blessing for this young man to win the prize. He will definitely be happy and healthy in the next year."

Gu Baiqing smiled and comforted Xiao Xuanli and said, "It's okay, I'm in your blessing."

But Xiao Xuanli suddenly stretched out his hand, and handed the hot silver beans to Gu Baiqing. "Brother will give you, good fortune and good luck will be given to you."

Gu Baiqing froze for a moment, "This is what you ate, you should keep it for yourself."

"It can be given as a gift." Xiao Xuanli said out loud.

"Ah?" Gu Baiqing didn't know so much yet, the person collecting the bowl couldn't help laughing and said: "You brothers have such a good relationship, most people are reluctant to give it away, even if there is, the elders will give it to the younger ones."

Gu Baiqing couldn't help laughing and said: "I finally got it, so just give it to me? How can you be willing?" Gu Baiqing felt that she was also teasing the child.

Xiao Xuanli nodded firmly and said, "Well, here you are."

Gu Baiqing's heart warmed up, and she couldn't help reaching out to touch Xiao Xuanli's head. Although the man in front of her was a tall man, in Gu Baiqing's eyes, he was very cute.Said: "Don't give it to me, just keep it well, I hope it can bring good luck to Xuanli."

Seeing what his brother said, Xiao Xuanli felt regretful and could only give up.

Because they got the silver beans, the two left the central pavilion against the envious eyes of the people around them.

"Strange..." At the porridge stall, the person who had just collected the bowls murmured.

"what happened?"

"I glanced at it just now. Why does the silver bean that the young master got seems to be bigger than before? Am I wrong?"

"How could it be possible to be a little bigger? They are all the same size. However, in the past, some rich people would secretly put silver beans in the porridge to coax their children, so that the size would be different. Just now, the two young masters are both older. It’s impossible to do something like this to coax a child.”

"makes sense."

On the way, Gu Baiqing watched Xiao Xuanli pinching the silver beans all the time, and couldn't put it down, that happy look couldn't be restrained even if she wanted to.I couldn't help but feel fortunate in my heart, fortunately I asked Wu Hongxi one more question.

"Okay, there are many people in front, be careful to be knocked off." Gu Baiqing said with a smile.

Xiao Xuanli suddenly became nervous, and quickly and carefully put the silver beans into the storage bag. Although he didn't know how to use the storage bag at all, his brother said that he would definitely not lose it after putting it in.

There was a market ahead, and there were indeed many people. Soon the two of them were separated by three steps from the crowd. They finally got together, but they always felt that someone would pass through and disperse them.

Gu Baiqing always felt as if something was missing, but she heard someone shouting next to her: "Xiao Bao is holding hands, don't get lost, if you get lost, you will be abducted by human traffickers."

"Miss Li, you must hold on to the clothes you are holding on to, and don't get lost."

Gu Baiqing remembered that Xiao Xuanli hadn't pulled him since he went out, and it seemed that he approached and raised his hand several times during the period, but neither his hands nor his clothes were pulled on. What's the matter?Yesterday, he was unwilling to let go at all.

As soon as Gu Baiqing turned his head, the two of them were separated a little bit. Xiao Xuanli was in a bit of a panic and wanted to come closer, but he didn't like to crowd people by nature, and there was no way to get help when he stretched out his hand.

Suddenly a hand stretched out, grabbed Xiao Xuanli's hand that was hanging in the air, and pulled it hard.

Xiao Xuanli felt that he was dragged out of the crowd and came to his brother's side.

"Brother, there are too many people..." Xiao Xuanli said awkwardly.

"Hold on, don't get separated." Gu Baiqing said, anyway, there are so many people, no one will pay attention to two people holding hands.

"But..." Xiao Xuanli suddenly said "but", which made Gu Baiqing stunned for a moment. "But brother doesn't like physical contact with people, doesn't he? Sandou told me that I was wrong yesterday, so I must have made it difficult for brother. In fact, brother can tell me. I... I don't have to... I just think ..."

Xiao Xuanli couldn't tell the truth, but he just liked to be close and wanted to be closer.

Gu Baiqing recalled, did she tell Sandou that she didn't like physical contact?

Looking at Xiao Xuanli's sad little eyes, Gu Baiqing was really distressed and funny, and she endured it as soon as she went out.This kid is really...

"Don't listen to Sandou, it's for others. You are different. Aren't you my important younger brother? Naturally, you can do whatever you want, and I won't make things difficult, as long as you are happy." Anyway, there is only one day left, Treat yourself as a good person and a good deed.

A word like thunder made Xiaoxuan tremble in his heart, as if he couldn't believe it, not because his brother said he could touch it, but because his brother said he was different, and he was different to his brother?

It was the first time that Xiao Xuanli was treated so importantly, someone who could be discarded by anyone, but at this moment it became an important difference in the elder brother's mouth.

For others, my brother doesn't like physical contact, but he can do it for himself, follow his heart, as long as he is happy?

Xiao Xuanli's head is almost gone, he can't even understand why someone treats him like this.

As Gu Baiqing said, she didn't let go, she pulled Xiao Xuanli and walked towards the wall. "Let's step aside."

Xiao Xuanli lowered his head to look at the two people's intertwined hands, and then looked at Gu Baiqing's back, a warm current surged in his heart for a while.But it soon became sad... If my elder brother married someone else, would I not be 'different' anymore?

The man said that unless the two of them get married, don't they have to be a man and a woman?

Although Xiao Xuanli is six years old, he is not stupid, at least as far as he knows, no man has ever married a man.

Xiao Xuanli was a little worried, why she wasn't a girl.

Xiao Xuanli couldn't help but clenched his brother's hand, really reluctant to let go of this hand.

"Xuanli, come here." Suddenly, Gu Baiqing seemed to see something, and immediately ran to a stall with a horse.

Xiao Xuanli's attention was quickly diverted, and when he saw clearly what was being sold at the stall, he was taken aback for a moment.

Small windmills, bamboo dragonflies, small slingshots... all kinds of small toys are dazzling, and there are already a circle of children around, clamoring for adults.

The reason why Gu Baiqing noticed it was because when he was with Mo Xuanli last time, he was stunned by this stall, and Sandou asked Sandou to talk about Wang Chunri.

Gu Baiqing thought that Xuanli must also want these things when she was a child. People often say that when they grow up, they will no longer be obsessed with the things they obsessed with when they were young. Happiness can still be obtained when you want it.

No, God gave Xiao Xuanli this chance. At the age of six, he saw that he liked it, but he was too embarrassed to ask his parents for it. He just wanted to wait for his parents to take the initiative to buy it for him when he watched the spring day. Not too much, one That's fine, he will spend a lot of time thinking about choices, and carefully choose the one he likes the most among all the little toys he likes.

But he didn't wait for his parents to give him the opportunity to buy it, and he was full of regrets not long ago.

"Boss, this, this, that... and that, forget it, give me a copy of each." Gu Baiqing's voice woke up Xiao Xuanli.

The aura of nouveau riche made the surrounding children widen their eyes with envy, and they started arguing with their parents one after another.

Those parents wanted to roll their eyes at Gu Baiqing, thinking that the boy looked very young, could it be that there are already many children in the family, and they bought so many?Can you play it?

In the end, I saw Gu Baiqing paid the money, holding a bunch of things and pushing them to another taller young master.

"Come on, take it, and play slowly."

Everyone who heard it looked at it in shock, and the children couldn't believe it. Isn't this what they played? ! ! !

"Brother, you..."

"Don't you like it?" Gu Baiqing looked dumbfounded at Xiao Xuanli, with a blank expression. Do you have any bad memories?

Xiao Xuanli looked down at every little toy he had ever thought of in his arms. He thought it would take a long time to collect them all, as if all his dreams had been realized at once, so he didn't have to worry about making choices, because he had them all.

My brother would not ask him if he wanted it, nor would he ask which one he wanted. If so, he would be too embarrassed to ask, but his brother bought them all for him.

Xiao Xuanli was dizzy from being smashed, hugging all the small toys that could be seen on the market, feeling the envious eyes of the children around him, a sense of vanity was satisfied, and the joy in his eyes was about to turn into tears.

"I like it very much, I like it all, brother, you are so kind."

Gu Baiqing was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, but in fact the money belonged to Mo Xuanli, it was equivalent to using Mo Xuanli's money to buy things to coax Xiao Xuanli, and it was a bit embarrassing to be thanked.

Then along the way, Xiao Xuanli was curious about everything just like a child. He put all the toys in the storage bag and put them on his body. Will look at his brother, and Gu Baiqing will play along with him.If it weren't for the lively juggling performances in the street market, it is estimated that the two of them could become a strange sight.

Just like Gu Baiqing led Xiao Xuanli to watch the performance, eat snacks, and participate in games, Xiao Xuanli's smile never came down, especially those eyes, which were different every time Gu Baiqing looked over, as if someone was watching Constantly adding stars to it.

And Gu Baiqing was also rarely relaxed. He almost forgot about tonight's business until night fell. Seeing that there was a festival parade starting to prepare, presumably Jing Zhan's side was also ready.

"Brother, let's go play that..." After a day of getting along, Xiao Xuanli's heart also relaxed, and he was willing to ask for it, because he knew that no matter what he said, his brother would agree.Brother is so good to him.

Gu Baiqing glanced at it and saw that it was setting off river lanterns, but at a glance, it was clear that the riverside was basically full of young men and women, and it was self-evident that what they used to pray for was self-evident.

Who would make a six-year-old child not understand, but even if Gu Baiqing followed Xiao Xuanli, he couldn't step on such an obvious routine, and was about to propose a change, but the shop next door had already greeted Xiao Xuanli.

"Young master, buy a red thread river lantern, as long as you write two people's names on it, cross the rocky beach along the river, and float smoothly into the lake, you can be together forever."

Xiao Xuanli's eyes lit up immediately, he didn't understand the meaning of the red thread river lantern at all, he only thought that the red thread was wrapped around the river lantern, it was very beautiful, and the meaning was also very good.

"Brother, shall we let this go? Write our names, so that we will never be separated." Mo Xuanli said happily.
