He was holding a basket covered with a red cloth in his hand and a pot of wine in his other hand, looking at Shi Yiguang, grinning and about to say something with a smile, his eyes saw Xiong Chao standing next to Shi Yiguang.

There was a pause in his eyes.

Ban'er didn't ask who it was, just glanced at Xiong Chao, then put away his smile, then lowered his head and took off his footshirt, walked into the room with a basket, and put things on the table.

"This is what the gentleman sent me to bring to you." Ban'er put down his things, turned his head to Shi Yiguang and said.

Shi Yiguang nodded, turned his head and said, "Have you had lunch?" โ€

Ban'er nodded, and looked at Shi Yiguang's face with a slight smile: "What are you going to do later?" โ€

Shi Yiguang turned his head to look at Ban'er and said with a smile: "Anyway, I'll go shopping with you." โ€

Xiong Chao, who had been standing next to him and didn't speak, saw Shi Yiguang's smile, his face was surprised, and his eyes fell on Ban'er standing next to Shi Yiguang, this was the first time he looked seriously at the braided child in front of him.

He has been with Shi Yiguang for so long, and he has almost never seen her smile like this.

has always been cold and indifferent, and if it is a stranger passing by, it is even more indifferent and alienated. Even his son, who gets along with him all day long, has never seen him laugh.

As soon as Ban'er heard Shi Yiguang's words, the smile on his face that had only been retracted because of Xiong Chao bloomed again. He jumped up and down to Shi Yiguang's side: "Then when are we going?" โ€

He just came in to look at outsiders, and thought that Bingwen had other arrangements today.

"Go now." Shi Yiguang chuckled as he cleaned up the red cloth bag on the table.

"Okay, then I'm going to watch the dance of "Nan Lan", I want to play birdman, I want to go to the flower market, and buy a bouquet of spring flowers with my husband!" Ban'er gathered around Shi Yiguang and chattered.

Shi Yiguang packed up the things on the big table, propped himself up, and nodded, "Okay." As he spoke, he stepped aside, changed into a thicker padded jacket, and walked out of the yard with Ban'er and Xiongchao.

On the day of the vernal equinox, the snow did not fall. However, the snow that had fallen in the winter had accumulated and had not yet melted. In the Spring Festival, the leaning feet of Yingdu City swept the snow from the streets early and transported it to the outside of the city.

Therefore, when Shi Yiguang and the three of them walked on the road, there was snow on the low or tall houses on both sides, but the branches on one side of the street were clean and spacious.

As soon as you enter the street, it is lively.

Shi Yiguang took Ban'er to wander happily on the street, Ban'er was innocent and active by nature, although Shi Yiguang was not innocent, when he took off the reins, he was also active.

And I have been in this turbulent spring and autumn for so long, and I haven't walked the streets well, especially the bustling streets during the spring equinox.

Understand that if she goes home one day, she can also go to the Institute of Chinese Studies to find a half-official position. These actual experiences of the Spring and Autumn culture are her confidence.

Ordinary people, on the day of the spring equinox, the morning is to worship the ancestors and worship the gods, exorcise ghosts and cure diseases. In the afternoon, the children went to the market, and the main family asked the maid to perform the ritual of expelling the plague ghosts.

Compared with Shi Yiguang, who wandered around with wild horses as soon as he went on the street, and Ban'er who pulled Shi Yiguang around to watch, Xiong Chao, who was born and raised in the land of Chu, was much calmer.

Every year after lunch at the spring equinox, the mother would take her children out in a horse-drawn carriage. When he was a child, he also liked it very much, and he couldn't help running with the nurse who served next to him.

Now I don't know if the smell of the New Year is really less, or if he is older and can see less of the smell.

So the group of three people added a person who hung his head and followed the Jingren behind Xiong Chao. In a line of four, two people looked happily on both sides. One looks strange, the other looks lively. The other Xiong Chao followed slowly with his servant Jingren, looking at the two people in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

There are a lot of playthings sold on the roadside, but a few of them have been seen by Shi Yiguang. It seemed to her that it was all a strange thing. After thousands of years of washing, almost all of these traditional cultures have been lost in the long river of time. Thousands of years later, the children and grandchildren will hardly know what the historical traces of the ancestors lived thousands of years ago are like.

Although coming to this spring and autumn period is forced and not optional, when he really comes into contact with these Chinese folk culture and urban construction thousands of years ago, Shi Yiguang also has happiness and joy in his heart. Who wouldn't be happy to be lucky enough to see something they've never seen before, but which are closely related to their ancestors?

Shi Yiguang was holding a straw rooster and watching. She didn't know what kind of grass it was, but it was not quite the same as the way it was woven in modern times.

She was playing with it, and she remembered the sound of half chirping again.

"Bingwen, what do you think of this flower?" Ban'er walked up to Shi Yiguang, pulled her sleeve, and asked.

Shi Yiguang turned his head and looked at the bunch of pink spring plums in Ban'er's hand, there were about three, and they were particularly good. There are also a few budding flower bones on the top.

She looked at it, then nodded seriously, and responded, "Not bad, it's good." โ€

Ban'er heard Shi Yiguang say that it was good-looking, and his face was even happier, and he was even more sure that this bouquet of spring plums was very good-looking, so he turned around and ran to the flower stall, and then paid for these three bouquets of flowers.

After being with Shi Yiguang, Ban'er's waistband bun grew longer. In the past, he only bought steamed buns and sugar, but now he can spare a few to buy flowers for Chen Yin.

Shi Yiguang watched all the way, and ran all the way, not to come over with a gadget and ask Shi Yiguang how he was. Every Shi Yiguang looked at it carefully, and then said that it was good or bad.

Not long, Shi Yiguang didn't buy it, but he bought several things.

He was still shopping, and it was a little inconvenient to run around with the things he was holding.

Ban'er stood and thought about it, then ran to Shi Yiguang's side, raised the flowers in his hand, and handed them to Shi Yiguang: "Bingwen, can you hold these flowers for me." I'm running around with it for fear of breaking it. โ€

Shi Yiguang took the flowers, looked at them, and then said, "Go, I'll take it for you." โ€

Halfway of hearing this, he turned around happily and wanted to leave again. When he turned his head, he saw a pile of people in the distance, turned his head to look at Shi Yiguang and said excitedly: "There is a drum show ahead, let's go, let's go and see!" โ€

As he spoke, he pulled Shi Yiguang's sleeve to take a look.

Shi Yiguang was not ambiguous, and followed Ban'er and walked forward. Remembering that Xiong Chao was still behind, he turned his head to look at Xiong Chao and Jingren behind him, and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go watch the drum play." โ€

Xiong Chao responded with a smile.

The people in the drum opera wear masks, like a puppet. Half beating drums, half dancing. There was a large circle of people outside the stage watching the excitement.

Jiang Xu stood in the crowd, and the maid who followed next to her carefully protected her, and made a small empty circle for her in the crowd. But she was still a little uncomfortable, watching the so-called drum play with these untouchables, she had never done it in Qi State.

Jiang Xu turned his head, looked at Xiong Zhang, who was looking at the drum play with a cold face, and said softly: "Prince, maybe we can go for a walk elsewhere?" โ€
