thirty-seven

Gu Hai sometimes felt that the people in the Kunlun Domain were very strange, he had read about the experience of the Jiang father and son in his history class, and people had been singing about their bravery and sacrifice, but those related to it seemed to belong to a young man named Jiang Xingyin, and no one had ever mentioned Yan Yin, who was later alone in the snow and bamboo forest. While enjoying the stability brought to them by the four great families, and listening to some groundless stories with relish, the young Gu Hai didn't know why he was not worth it from the bottom of his heart for the children of the family who were always high.

Since saying goodbye in the courtyard yesterday, Jiang Xingque has not seen Jiang Xingge again, she thought that Jiang Xingge would not go with her to see the float parade today, but she didn't expect to see him at the other end of the corridor just after leaving the door. The other party rarely changed into a complicated clothes, the slightly simple white jade hair crown was fixed with a hairpin carved into the shape of a plum branch, and the top was a sprinkling golden plum with buds waiting to be released, and with the jade pendant engraved with the gossip on his waist, Jiang Xingge showed others that he was the eldest young master of the Jiang family.

Jiang Xingque happily jumped in front of the other party, jokingly compared his hand on the top of his head, and then looked up and said, "You seem to have grown taller again." Jiang Xingge naturally knew that she had nothing to say, so he let her follow, although she did not answer, but she took Jiang Xingque's hand very skillfully and walked towards the main gate.

At the moment before the parade began, Gu Hai and his party finally met the Jiang brothers and sisters who had arrived belatedly. To the surprise of Gu Su and the others, they were still dressed in white today. However, unlike the plain white when they were in Kunlun, the clothes on Jiang Xingque and Jiang Xingge at this moment are expensive just by looking at the clothes, and the hem of the clothes is embroidered with exquisite embroidery A small sprig of golden plum and sporadic falling flowers, with the white background, from a distance, it really looks like plum blossoms have fallen on the snow.

Different from Ye Wanchi's dignified board, Jiang Xingque only used a hairpin to curl up her long hair casually and loosely today, the hairpin was similar to Jiang Xingge's, and it was also the appearance of a plum branch, but the buds had become plum blossoms that were already in full bloom, Xu felt that it was too monotonous, so she also wore a branch shake underneath, and those small spikelets made of metal flashed in the winter sun, and for a moment Gu Hai almost thought that it was Jiang Xingque glowing.

After the group greeted, the float parade began, Gu Hai and Su Zi excitedly followed the crowd all the way to catch the float, they tried hard to catch more red beans, hoping that they would be the lucky one, completely ignoring whether they would be separated from their senior sisters and brothers, so the older teenagers had to chase after them and keep shouting: "Senior brother, slow down, don't get separated, be careful of falling!"

At this time, Gu Su and the others were so excited that they couldn't listen to anything, and they only had the hands of the red beans sprinkled on the float in their eyes, and they were disappointed over and over again, and all that was left in their minds was the lucky red bean. Jiang Xingque, who followed at the end, saw that the two junior brothers were having a good time, and she was also interested, and she saw that there happened to be another wave of red beans scattered on the float, so she reached out and grabbed a handful, and when she spread her hands, she saw that it was just a few ordinary beans, and she couldn't help but pout a little frustratedly.

"Do you want this?" Just as Jiang Xingque was about to pick up the second handful, a hand with a clenched fist reached out in front of her, she looked up and saw that Jiang Xingge was still the expressionless face, so Jiang Xingque moved his gaze back to his hand, only to see that after he spread out his palm, there was the unique red bean in his palm.

Seeing Jiang Xingque's look of surprise, Jiang Xingge didn't say anything, only handed the red beans to the other party, told him to put them away, and continued to walk forward with the crowd. The girl's eyes looked at the red bean like countless shining stars, and it took a long time to chase after it, if she said thank you, it would look rusty, she thought about it for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, just smiled brightly at Jiang Xingge.

Sometimes the more you worry about it, the more it happens. Gu Hai and Su Zi chased too tightly and were a little thin, so they were squeezed by the crowd and fell to the ground, but fortunately, Su Zi got a gap and immediately got up, but Gu Hai couldn't find a chance anyway because he was in the middle of the crowd, he could only curl up on the ground with his head in an embarrassed face, and let the fanatical crowd step over him.

Gu Hai, who was still a child, thought that not only did he not get the lucky red bean, but he also got this kind of crime at this time, and he couldn't help but start to feel wronged, he buried his face in the crook of his arm, and struggled for a while, but he still couldn't cry out in the end.

Su Zi got up and saw that Gu Hai was also gone, so he squatted down again and looked at the center of the crowd. Between the hems of various clothes, a young man curled himself up in a ball but still inevitably being trampled on, so Su Zi tried to go in that direction against the crowd.

Gu Hai was still a little scared when he was tightly protected, and he didn't dare to put down his hand, which had been trampled on a little red and swollen, from his head, until Su Zi's voice came from his ears. He had always been soft-spoken, and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Don't step on it, don't you see anyone!Don't step on it!" Gu Hai carefully put his hand down, the person protecting him in front of him was Su Zi, he didn't know what to say, so he only whispered thank you in the end.

When Jiang Xingque and his party found them, the crowd had already followed the float forward, Gu Hai and Su Zi were crowded into a cloak, and their new clothes were also trampled black, they sat on the side of the street in embarrassment, even if they heard the voices of their senior brothers and sisters, they didn't dare to raise their heads, for fear that they would be reprimanded for disobedience.

The white skirt embroidered with sprinkled golden plum gradually approached, and finally stopped in front of Gu Hai and Su Zi, they lowered their heads a little weakly, while the other party squatted down unexpectedly. The long skirt spread out on the green bricks, like a plum blossom suddenly falling at the feet of the two, Jiang Xingque was entangled in his heart and looked up at Jiang Xingge, and finally made up his mind to hand the lucky red bean to Gu Hai.

The young man saw a pair of slender and good-looking hands holding a red bean exuding aura appear in front of him, and he was so shocked for a while that he didn't know what to say, he looked up at Jiang Xingque incredulously, and the other party said with a smile: "Give it to you, Happy New Year, lucky one." Jiang Xingque was squatting in front of Gu Hai in front of the light, the sun reflected the plum blossom hairpin on her head and the step shaking with colorful brilliance, and Gu Hai, who was hiding in the shadow of the eaves, seemed to be sluggish and watched quietly. It wasn't until Su Zi beside him let out an exclamation that Gu Hai reacted, he hurriedly waved his hand and said no, but Jiang Xingque forced the red beans into the palm of his hand: "You want it all over your face, anyway, it's useless for me to take it, just give it to you." After saying that, she got up and straightened her clothes, and followed Jiang Xingge in the other direction without stopping long.

Gu Hai held the red bean in his palm and looked at it for a long time, then looked sideways at Su Zi, who was approaching his face curiously and enviously, and finally made a decision: "Su Zi, let's exchange it for something." The young man whose name was called looked up a little puzzled and asked, "This is an excellent thing to ward off evil spirits, do you really want to exchange it for something?"

Hearing this, Gu Hai nodded firmly at Su Zi, a trace of inexplicable joy seemed to flash in his eyes, he put his arm around Su Zi's shoulder, lifted the red bean between the two and said with an expectant face: "Just take it to a dark room!"

The sunlight shone on the hand that stretched out from the shadows, illuminating the red beans on the fingertips extraordinarily, and the eyes of the two teenagers were facing it, as if there were stars shining in their eyes.
