Lin Yuanqing froze there, his eyes began to become moist again, Hong Er tapped on the door of his head, and said, "Hey, I told you before, have you forgotten, you go and change the new clothes on the table first, and see if it fits." ”

"Hmm. Lin Yuanqing held back the suffocation in his chest, turned around and went into the house to change his clothes, and after a long time he came out, Ye Yuanqing came up with a wow, and praised him with a sigh of praise: "Uncle Shi, the clothes you picked for Brother Lin also fit perfectly, and it seems to be a match with my vision." ”

At this time, Lin Yuanqing was wearing a light cyan gown, a close-fitting cotton jacket, and a jade pendant around his waist, the whole person looked extremely energetic, he was holding a snack box, and his expression was slightly twisted.

"But I don't have to fight with you. Hong Er smiled, looked at Lin Yuanqing, nodded, and continued, "Well, that's good." ”

"Alright, it's not too early, the scheduled banquet is almost ready, it's time for us to go to dinner. Yun Menghan folded the fan, clapped his hands and said.

Everyone walked out of the inn with Yun Menghan, and Ye Yuanqing said dissatisfiedly: "Teacher Yun, I was going to set up a banquet for Brother Lin to celebrate his birthday, but you still didn't let me, didn't you say that it was too ostentatious outside?"

"You'll find out when you get there. ”

"Master, how do you know that today is..."Lin Yuanqing said this, consciously talking, thinking that it must have been Lao Zhang who told him.

"Your grandfather came to me before I took you as an apprentice, and I told you that he told me everything about you. ”

"Oh, I don't know how Grandpa and Tao Tao are doing lately. Lin Yuanqing looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and became more and more homesick.

"When we come back from Chang'an, we'll go home. Hong Er smiled, waved his hand and strode forward, Lin Yuanqing looked at him gratefully behind him, and whispered, "Thank you, master." ”

Suddenly, Hong Er saw a cultural entertainment store on the side of the road, and saw a pot of cyan bouquets on the table in the house through the half-covered door, which was the unique blue and white flowers in Qinghua City, and he was stunned and couldn't help but stop.

Lin Yuanqing also noticed Hong Er's reaction, looked at it, and stopped.

Although the blue and white flowers can bloom in winter, but they are only short-lived, and they can see the blue and white flowers of their hometown in a foreign land in the deep winter, as if they have seen relatives, Hong Er and Lin Yuanqing glanced at each other at the same time and walked towards the store.

There were two people in the store, a young man and an old man, the two were playing chess quietly, and when they saw Hong and Lin coming in, the two who were playing chess looked up, and then lowered their heads and stared at the chessboard intently.

Hong Er and Lin Yuanqing didn't say anything, and stood quietly watching the chess game.

"Uncle Shi, Brother Lin, you..." After Ye Yuanqing and the others followed up, before they finished speaking, several people playing chess and watching chess looked at him at the same time, Ye Yuanqing was silent immediately after seeing it clearly, and the other three also stood by and watched the battle.

The two fought on the chessboard for a long time, the old man had half an advantage and narrowly defeated the young man, Ye Yuanqing and Yun Menghan were well versed in chess, and couldn't help but praise softly: "Wonderful." ”

The young man smiled at the onlookers, and bowed his hand to the old man: "Jing Lao is really not old, and he has no intention of losing convinced." ”

"Duan Gongzi is polite, judging from Gongzi's chess skills, in less than a year, he will definitely be able to win the old age. The old man took a sip of tea with a smile, then stood up, bowed his hand to everyone, and said with a smile on his face: "May I ask you to come to this small shop, what advice do you have?" Although the old man's beard and hair are all white, his face is ruddy and radiant, making people not feel the slightest old state.

"Why did the old gentleman say this, when we came to your store, it was naturally a business door-to-door, listening to the old gentleman's words, it seems that we are not welcome?" Before Hong Er could speak, Ye Yuanqing interjected first.

"Hehe, this boy laughed, I am naturally happy to have guests here, but a few of them should not be here for the small shop. The old man didn't care about Ye Yuanqing's seemingly impolite words, and still said with a smile.

"Oh, how did the old gentleman know?" Although Yun Menghan on the side didn't know why Hong Er and the others entered this small shop, he couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard the old man say this.

First of all, these two people did not look around like other customers who came to the store, nor did they go directly to something to watch, but stood next to us and waited for us to play chess, indicating that there was a request for me. ”

"Then why is the old gentleman so sure that we have a request for you?" Hong Er couldn't help but ask with great curiosity.

"A few people look at the faces, they must be outsiders, and the old man has never interacted with people, he must not be entrusted by someone to come here, and look at a few people with extraordinary temperament, they must not be ordinary people, and a few of them have no acquaintance with the Duan Gongzi in front of me, so there is only me. ”

"Then I wonder if the old gentleman knows what we are here for?" Hong Er arched.

"The door of the store is hidden, passing by from the outside and not seeing the items displayed in the store, you can only see the pot of blue and white flowers, just now during our game of chess, this little brother looked over from time to time, presumably for this blue and white flowers. The old man pointed to the blue and white on the table and said.

"The old gentleman has a unique eye and admires it. Hong Er praised.

"It's over, and the old man just happened to guess correctly. The old man stretched out his hand to invite a few people to sit down, and Duan Gongzi on the side heard the conversation between several people, and was suddenly curious, and also sat aside.

"The two of you are from Blue and White City. After pouring tea for everyone, the old man said to Hong Er and Lin Yuanqing.

"Yes, we are here precisely for this flower, originally the blue and white bloom in late autumn and wither in early winter, you can see the blooming blue and white in this season, I feel very novel, I don't know what method the old gentleman used?" Hong Er said truthfully.

"I have a little research on flowers and plants on weekdays, and I went to Qinghua City five years ago, and I know all about the situation of blue and white, in fact, I brought back a lot, and now there is only this one left, but I found a characteristic of blue and white. ”

"Oh? ”

"At that time, I planted the blue and white flowers that I brought back in Nanyang City, and they opened and withered quickly, and they did not live long at all, and then I transplanted a few plants that seemed to be the only ones left into flower pots, and found that they could bloom through the whole winter. The old man walked up to the pot of blue flowers and gently touched the petals with his hand, as if he were looking at his own child.

"Huh?" Lin Yuanqing listened to the old man's words in surprise, he only knew that blue and white flowers were like epiphanys every year, and they could only be short-lived, but he didn't know that blue flowers alone could bloom for so long.

Hong Er was also surprised when he heard this, he had lived in Qinghua City for more than ten years, and it was the first time he had heard of this matter, but Ye Yuanqing and the three of them had no idea, they just listened with great interest.

"Thank you for being so kind. Hong Er solemnly hugged his fists.
