Every three years, the emperor has to go to the southern suburbs to worship the heavens in person, and this year's winter solstice is just in time for this grand sacrifice ceremony.

The emperor stayed in the Daqing Hall three days before the winter solstice, the next day five watches, by the forbidden army's iron cavalry in front of the road, from the three watches one after another, all the way to the south of the city outside the city of Xunmen to guide.

On the day of the winter solstice, it is the time when the emperor's car passes through the royal street, and then you may be able to see the emperor's dignity, so Bianjing on this day is even more lively.

That is, it is a very lively solar term, Yan Jingxiang can't stay at home, so she goes to Hanyu to go out together.

Who knew that when they were going out, they met Han'er.

Yan Hanyu told Aunt Fang to take good care of Han'er, and when she was about to leave the hospital, she suddenly turned around, but saw Han'er looking at their backs in a daze.

She couldn't bear to leave Han'er at home and brought Han'er with her.

After Han'er came back, she stayed in the house and never went out.

She turned around and asked him, "Does Han'er want to play outside?"

Han'er smiled and nodded.

Yan Hanyu has already seen that although Han'er is more stupid than ordinary children, he is not a fool, he can distinguish between good and bad, and he is very obedient, and he never makes a big noise. He loves to laugh, he can't say a lot of things, but he understands it in his heart.

Even if she can't see the fourth uncle, Han'er often expresses disappointment, but she never cries.

It is this kind of temperament that makes Yan Hanyu feel even more distressed.

When they arrived at the door, Rong Xuan, Jin Xuan, and Wen Xuan were all there.

Yan Jingxiang complained, "Why did you bring them all along? Can you still give people a good time? When you get to the street, don't you have to look at them?"

"When my mother heard that we were going out, I let me follow. Yan Rongxuan replied helplessly.

"Why didn't she bring it herself?"

Yan Jingxiang muttered and took the lead out of the door.

Several people went out with two guards.

The city relaxed the ban today, so the tourists on the royal streets gathered to have fun, and there was an endless stream of people watching the car elephants.

The shops on the street sell all kinds of clay sculptures, wood carvings, pinched elephants, and paper painted elephants, and tourists buy some to bring back as small gifts to others.

Yan Hanyu saw Han'er staring at the little elephant on the side of the road without blinking, so he bought him a wooden carved little elephant.

He held it in his hand, his eyes crooked with joy.

Yan Jingxiang also likes these gadgets very much, but Rong Xuan is not interested, but Jin Xuan and Wen Xuan look forward to it and want it.

No matter how much Shizuka didn't like them, she couldn't turn a blind eye to them, and gave them one by one.

Shizuka was about to take out the silver, but Yan Hanyu stopped her and asked the stall owner, "The boss also sells paper paintings of the little elephant, I don't know if I can exchange it for things?"

"Yes, if there is anything Miss may wish me to see, if it is worth it, it can be changed. ”

"I don't know if there is pen, ink, paper, inkstone?"

"Yes, Miss wants to draw on the spot?"

Yan Hanyu smiled and nodded.

"Miss, here. ”

Behind the string of paper paintings hung was a simple table and chair, on which pens, ink, paper and inkstones were neatly arranged, and the stall owner stretched out his hand to lead her to the back.

"Han'er is waiting for her sister here, you can't walk around, you know?" instructed Han'er, and Yan Hanyu followed over.

"Miss, we are all small businesses. The stall owner smiled and said, "If this painting is not worth it, Miss, my paper and ink ......" The stall owner paused at this point.

Yan Hanyu understood what he meant, it was nothing more than that the painting was not good, the silver had to be given, and the small amount of paper and ink could not be less. She followed up and spoke, "If it's not worth it, it's a lot." ”

The stall owner had seen a lot of people, and he had seen many confident people like this young lady, but the final results were all unsatisfactory, and he didn't think that this young lady could draw anything good, and stood aside and smiled complimentarily.

"Miss, please use it, the ink has just been researched. ”

Yan Jingxiang also came over, "Sister, what are you painting?"

"You say. "She hasn't finished writing yet.

"Why don't you just have this little elephant. Yan Hanyu pointed to the clay elephant in her hand, only to see that the baby elephant had a long nose up, one foot slightly raised, and an active posture, "This clay sculpture is really good, and it is full of energy." ”

"Good. Yan Hanyu responded, and began to draw.

Yan Jingxiang writes very quickly, the lines outlined are smooth, and after only a few strokes, you can see the outline of an elephant. However, Yan Hanyu was not satisfied, destroyed the paper, redrew it, and replaced it three times in a row.

The stall owner was patient, still smiling on his face, and he didn't show the slightest anger. He could already see that this young lady was a good drawer, and at first these three pieces of paper were just practice. However, such a paper painting of a baby elephant is not worth much silver, no matter how well it is painted, so he is very calm. He will not lose any less money.

This time, Yan Hanyu didn't waste the paper anymore, and a baby elephant gradually appeared on the paper.

The little elephant had a hydrangea on its trunk, its tail flung to the side, and one foot was gently raised, as if it were real.

At this time, Rong Xuan also came around, Jin Xuan and Wen Xuan wanted to leave, but their brothers and sisters didn't leave, so they had to gather around to watch, and even Han'er was fascinated.

The stall owner smiled and admired, "But it has a little more charm than the paper paintings I sell." ”

Yan Jingxiang was still thinking that Sister Hanyu had finished drawing in just a while, but she hadn't put down the pen yet, and continued to draw the next line on the paper. The next moment, I saw another elephant next to the baby elephant, which was covered with patterned satin on its back, with a lotus-shaped seat on it, and a mahout riding around its neck.

This image was followed by another elephant, curled up with its nose and two front feet lifted, standing in place.

After the painting, there are a total of ten elephants, each with a very different demeanor and lifelike.

There were four elephants curled up in a knot with their proboscis in the middle, and a man with a hat stood in the middle, and another elephant with a long trunk around a ring that seemed to be circling in circles. There was also an elephant with its eyes down, prostrate on its stomach, and the last elephant was in the forefront, full of momentum and domineering and standing in front of it.

When the stall owner saw it, he had to admire it and praise it again and again, "It's good!

"I wonder what kind of silver is worth it?"

"Value, value. The stall owner laughed.

There is no shortage of people in Kyoto who are very elegant, and there are even more people who like to collect all kinds of pen and ink Danqing, and such a painting is hung out, and the stall owner can earn a few taels of silver, and he does not lose at all.

"Sister, I want that picture of you. Yan Jingxiang had a plan to return the things in her hand to the stall owner.

At this moment, not only Shizuka wanted to take that painting for herself, but even Rong Xuan had a look of longing, eager to take the painting away.

Jin Xuan and Wen Xuan looked at their eldest sister at this moment, and their expressions also changed from awe and fear to worship now.

Yan Hanyu pulled Shizuka away, "It's better to go back and draw for you." ”

"Sister Hanyu can't go back. ”

"No regrets. Your birthday is approaching, so take that painting as a birthday gift. (To be continued.) )
