The reason why I have to spend the night in the town is to take the children to play around the night market in the town.

The night market in the town is also very interesting. It only opens on every second and seventh day, and every time it closes at 2 o'clock in the morning.

Today happened to be the 7th, and the night market opened at 2:00 a.m. today. I was worried that the children would not have the energy at night. After eating the fragrant meat biscuits, Gu Beizhi took the children to find an inn to stay.

The shop assistant saw that they brought five children, and recommended Gu Beizhi to live in a larger room, which was only 20 cents more expensive than a normal room, but if the room could be moved a little bit more, the whole family could stay there.

Gu Beizhi followed and took a look, with Guan Zhou's disapproving gaze, he booked a large room, 40 cents a night for accommodation, meals are extra, and hot water is free.

When they got up, the second shopkeeper took the initiative to bring two quilts over so that Gu Beizhi could lay the floor.

In fact, is this room really better than the twenty-wen room? not at all.

But Gu Beizhi and Guan Zhou are definitely worried that the children live alone in a room, including Guan Zhou, Gu Beizhi can't be relieved.

Gu Beizhi has also seen a room with a room of 20 Wen. In order to attract more guests to the inn, Gu Beizhi, who is a small guest room with 20 Wen, thinks that the two of them can't get in, let alone they bring with five children.

Although the larger room is still not big enough, at least the bed is ten centimeters wider than that of the small room, so that the children can lie on their sides and sleep in a row just enough to fall asleep.

Seeing Xiao Er's attitude, Guan Zhou vaguely understood why Gu Beizhi had booked a large room.

While thinking about it, Gu Beizhi touched his head, "What are you thinking about? Are you tired?"

It is impossible to say that he is not tired. With five children at once, they are all lively and active boys, and it is an unfamiliar environment. Guan Zhou has been tensing his strings, and he can relax quickly, and his fatigue has also come up.

"Fine, Beizhi, you're tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?" Guan Zhou wanted to lay a floor for him, but was stopped by Gu Beizhi. It wasn't even night, so he had to put it away after a while.

"I'm not tired. Let the children rest for a while. Let's go to the night market at night." Gu Beizhi took Guan Zhou's hand and let it go quickly, but he also felt that Guan Zhou's sting Fingers, eyes circled around Guan Zhou's hand.

Guan Zhou didn't pay attention, just listened to his instructions and called Dabao and the others to the bedside. The children entered the inn and nothing was unusual. The five children had already turned around in the room just after the two of them were talking.

The porcelain cups placed on the table, the cabinets by the door, and the screens put away on the side were all carefully examined and discussed by them.

"Okay, okay, take a break after running for a long time, Dabao, Erbao, put on your slippers." Guan Zhou stood by the bed and told the children how to lie down.

Soon, the five little friends lie down next to me and me next to him.

The little guys who had never slept together were still a little too excited to fall asleep. Gu Beizhi and Guan Zhou just watched them talk and laugh, and they all quieted down after a while.

Watching the children who yawned one after another slowly fell asleep, Gu Beizhi and Guan Zhou could also rest quietly for a while.

Gu Beizhi took out everything in the back basket, rearranged it, and placed it in the corner.

It was the first time that Guan Zhou was doing nothing so much. Seeing him busy, he also stepped up to help, but was rejected by Gu Beizhi, "You rest for a while."

Guan Zhou could only sit at the table and watch him patiently tidy up.

When Da Bao and the others woke up, just an hour had passed, but it was not even before You Shi, Gu Beizhi asked Xiao Er for a basin of hot water, washed the faces and hands of several children, and woke up.

"Do you want to go out to play in the afternoon? There is a storyteller in the teahouse next to you in the afternoon."

Gu Beizhi has already calculated his itinerary in advance. If he is willing to listen to the book, he will go to a teahouse next door, and the night market will start in an hour. time.

It's okay if you don't want to go. In the morning, I bought new toys and a lot of cakes, some to eat and some to play with, so that the children can stay until the end of the day.

There are not so many fun places in the town, except for the daily storytellers, there is not even a place to listen to the drama.

However, the children's happiness is very simple. They have a meal of meat biscuits at noon and wake up to play with new toys, which has made them too happy.

As for the storytelling?

Dabao and Erbao said that Daddy's storytelling is the best, and they don't listen to books!

Dabao and Erbao didn't go, and Shanzi and the others didn't go either. They happily played the game of 'Heroes Save Beauty' in the house.

Erbao is a beauty, Dabao is a hero, the villain is Shanzi, Dahu is the friend of the beauty, and Xiaohu is the accomplice of the villain. Several children acted in a good manner, and interspersed with the famous robber quotes that Gu Beizhi usually joked about.

"I planted this tree, and I drove this road. If you want to pass this way, leave the little beauty behind!" Shanzi said to Dahu and Erbao.

Dahu firmly disagreed, Shanzi decided to kidnap him together, holding a peach wood sword around Dahu's neck, Xiaohu grabbed Erbao's hand and was about to take them away.

Dabao, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared with a peach wood sword, "Stop!"

Seeing their lively performances, Gu Beizhi and Guan Zhou couldn't help laughing. It seems that the game of 'playing as a family wine' is very attractive regardless of boys or girls.

When the time came, they walked slowly to the night market.

The night market in Huolu Town is actually not very prosperous. The town gate will be closed at the time of Hai, and not all the residents of the town will leave before the time of Hai. This night market is more like a market spontaneously held by the people of Huolu Town.

People in the whole town can freely sell things at the night market. There are no fixed stalls. The stalls are set up in order. Each stall only needs a stall fee of five cents.

It was the yamen servants in the town who charged the fees. On the one hand, they got more wages, on the other hand, they ensured the security of the night market, and everyone became accustomed to it.

Because the common people set up their own stalls, they sell all kinds of strange things, some sell insoles, some sell snacks, some sell bamboo baskets, and some sell hair accessories.

Gu Beizhi held a child in one hand and talked about it as he walked. The night market has a good point, that is, most of the stalls put their things on the ground, and those who are afraid of getting dirty only need to put a layer of furoshiki.

There is no need for the children to stand on tiptoe to see, just squat down and take a slow look.

This kind of child-friendly booth made a few children novel, squatting in front of this booth, squatting in front of that booth, and finally standing in front of the stall selling fried hemp balls and could not walk.

Fried sesame balls are extremely delicious for children, smell the aroma of hot meat and oil in the air, the sound of sesame balls under the pot, and then the fragrant and sweet smell floats into the nose.

Shanzi sucked in the scent forcefully, pretending that he wasn't drooling, Dabao and Erbao were already hugging Gu Beizhi's thighs one by one, and the anticipation in their eyes was very obvious.

The big tiger and the little tiger also inhaled the fragrance together on the side of the mountain, like two greedy cats.

"Boss, how much is a hemp ball?" Gu Beizhi dragged two heavy leg pendants and walked to the booth.

The owner of the fried sesame ball stall was a chubby middle-aged uncle. Hearing him ask, he smiled and said, "See what the customers want to eat, there is a four cents for bean paste, a six cents for candy heart, and white sesame seeds on the outside. It 's fragrant!" The

hemp ball looks big, but it's actually empty, and it shrunk after a bite. Gu Beizhi knew that children like to eat sweets, so he said that he wanted five candy hearts. Arrived at Guan Zhou who was standing aside.

When he said it, it became, "Come five... no, six candy hearts."

Gu Beizhi took out the money, and the boss neatly used a bamboo skewer to tie the hemp balls that were just out of the pot, a total of six hemp balls. The ball and six bamboo sticks were handed to Gu Beizhi, "They are all fresh from the pot, so be careful when you eat them."

"Thank you." Gu Beizhi thanked the boss and distributed five of them to the children.

The five children were very happy when they got their share of the hemp balls, and repeatedly said, "Daddy is the best!" "Uncle Gu is the best." "Eat it

quickly, be careful not to burn your mouth, and blow first. It's cold." Gu Beizhi warned, and shoved the last hemp ball into Guan Zhou's hand.

Guan Zhou was stunned and wanted to stuff him back, "I won't eat it, you can eat it."

Gu Beizhi didn't answer and patted his head, "Hurry up and eat it, it won't be delicious after a while."

He said The corners of his mouth were upturned, warm and gentle, like a warm current spreading through Guan Zhou's lonely heart.

Guan Zhou was a little reluctant to push the sweet hemp ball, and under Gu Beizhi's encouraging gaze, he took a bite.

The hemp balls are crispy on the surface, soft on the inside, and the candy center in the middle is very sweet. With the taste of meat and oil, it is extra sweet.

In fact, the taste of meat and oil is not good, but in the eyes of farmers who lack oil and water, it is extremely good. If you can have a bowl of lard bibimbap, you will look forward to it all year round.

Gu Beizhi watched Guan Zhou eat carefully, and showed a very satisfied look, his heart was sour and a little swollen, he raised his hand unconsciously, and put it on his shoulder and gave him a hug.

"Xiaozhou, it's hard for you." You won't be wronged again in the future.

Early the next morning, Gu Beizhi held Erbao, who was still sleepy, and followed Shanzi and Dahu. Walk.

Uncle Wang has already come over with an ox cart and waited at the agreed place.

Let Guan Zhou get in the car first, put Er Bao in his arms, then get into the car with the children one by one, and finally put the basket on top and say to the four children, "You guys will be obedient on the way back and don't make trouble. Do you know?"

"Uncle Gu, don't worry, we will definitely not make trouble!" Shanzi patted his chest and assured.

Dahu also said, "We will take good care of Uncle Xiaozhou, Dabao and Erbao's younger brothers. Uncle Gu, don't worry!"

"Yes."

"Okay." Gu Beizhi was amused by the three children. In fact, the bear boy and the little angel were only separated by a line. Before the big tiger and the three of them were gangs to bully the weak bear boy, but these two days they have been obedient like a little boy. like an angel.

He looked at Guan Zhou again, hesitated for a moment, but went up to hug him, "Be careful on the road, go home and have a good rest, I will go back after work."

Guan Zhou nodded, his face like last night Two touches of red floated.

Gu Beizhi paid Wang Wushu the money for the rental car, and there was an extra five cents. It was originally agreed that there were only four of them in the family, but as a result, there were three more babies. Although Wang Wushu didn't say anything, he felt that he still had to pay. Make a point.

Uncle Wang refused, and he rented the car to the Gu family. It was the Gu family who had the final say on how many people would sit, but Gu Bei knew that he had this heart, and Uncle Wang was also beautiful in his heart. It would be appropriate to see how this scholar behaved.

Gu Beizhi watched them leave and turned to Baoyixuan.

After the child's birthday, he and Guan Zhou became very close, at least he took the initiative.

But he doesn't like Guan Zhou yet. Gu Beizhi is very cold, and he never thought about relationships when he was working.

It's not because he doesn't want to talk, it's just that he feels that those who say they like him don't really like him.

Gu Beizhi's appearance is outstanding, no matter how you look at it, he is good-looking. In addition, he has been studying history all the year round, and he has a unique sense of calmness, which gives him a sense of contrast.

The protruding appearance is a kind of uncontrollable unease, and the calmness of his body is a safety that can be relied on.

Many people said that they fell in love with him at first sight and wanted to develop further with him. But is love at first sight really reliable?

Gu Bei doesn't know, but he doesn't like falling in love at first sight. He likes falling in love over time. After spending a lot of time together, he will know if it is suitable for him and whether he can be together for a lifetime.

At first, he just wanted to live in peace and stability, and he didn't have the heart to think about relationships, but in getting along every day, he found that Guan Zhou was a diligent and tenacious person.

Maybe not bold enough, but he is patient and careful, as can be seen from the two children he takes good care of.

Gu Beizhi is not a holy father, and he has no hobby of being a father, but he just can't bear to see the two children living. No resurrection is possible.

If the relationship between him and Guan Zhou changed, it would just be a natural choice. Guan Zhou is a very good person.

Gu Beizhi thought in his heart, if they really fell in love, it seemed not bad.

When he arrived at the store, the smile on his face didn't go away, but Brother Ding was taken aback, "Old Gu, why are you so happy today?"

"Well, yesterday I brought the children to town for their birthday, and the whole family was very happy. Happy." Gu Beizhi replied casually.

"Lao Gu, you are also very fresh, Xiao Ding, this is the first time I heard about bringing a child out for a birthday." Xiao Ding jokingly said.

Gu Beizhi replied naturally, "When you have a child, you might not feel fresh."

This made Brother Ding angry, "Hey! Good you old Gu, why don't you open the pot? Which pot is it?"

"Hahaha, just kidding, I went in." Gu Beizhi walked back.

Brother Xiao Ding was cleaning the lobby, "Go, let's go, come out later to help clean the Bogu shelf!"

"Got it." Gu Beizhi answered happily.

Not to mention that all the staff in the store liked Gu Beizhi. There were so many items in the store that it was quite tiring to clean, but Gu Beizhi was much better when he came.

He takes the initiative to help clean the items on the shelves every day, and can also change the appropriate position. After adjusting his hands like this, he feels that the store is much brighter and less cluttered than before.

There are also some objects that cannot be seen where they are placed, and they are comfortable to look at.

Brother Xiaoding and Shuisheng only need to wipe them in order after he has finished adjusting. Even if there is other work in between, the two know that the other party has cleaned it, and there is no need to repeat it.

Gu Beizhi entered the appraisal room, and came out again after a while. Standing at the gate, he glanced around the lobby, and then changed positions on several shelves, placing light colors on the middle and upper floors, and heavy colors on the upper floors. In the middle and lower layers, the more precious ones are placed in a prominent position in the middle.

Just after the change, he was about to pick up a rag when a guest with eyes came, "Excuse me, Gu Beizhi, is Master Gu here?"

"Hello, I am. What do I need?" Gu Beizhi put down his sleeves and went over to entertain the guests. .

Brother Xiaoding and Shuisheng began to clean the shelves one by one, and occasionally peeked at Gu Beizhi and the guest, who didn't look like someone from Huolu Town.

"Hello, Master Gu, a certain surname is Liu. I accidentally got a celadon-glazed porcelain jar with flower and bird patterns. I heard that Master Gu is good at looking at porcelain, so I came to invite Master Gu to visit the house." The

man surnamed Liu is forty . Up and down, with a beard, dressed in fine silk and satin, with sapphire hanging around his waist, he looked like he was not bad for money.

"Naturally, it is possible. The appraisal fee is charged according to the value of the identified item. If it is less than 100 taels, it will be charged 10 taels, and if it is higher than 5,000 taels, it will be charged 100 taels. First hand over 50 taels to the counter. ."

Gu Beizhi talked about the charging standard, the guest did not refuse, and happily paid fifty taels of silver, Gu Beizhi went back to get some tools and left with the guest.

"Master Liu isn't from Huolu Town, is he?" Gu Beizhi chatted with the guests on the road.

"Yes, my wife is from Huolu Town, and this time I came back to visit the Yue family. I happened to collect a porcelain jar and inquired about it before I found Master Gu."

"Thank you Master Liu for your trust, Gu has not been in the business for long , but the eyesight is not bad, Master Liu can rest assured."

Gu Beizhi's gaze went back and forth on this Mr. Liu for a few times. After taking it back, he didn't ask any more questions, but his heart was raised.

The author has something to say: [Jinjiang Literature joins hands with the author to wish my dear readers and friends: peace and happiness! At the same time, I warmly remind everyone to wash their hands frequently, wear masks, ventilate more, and gather less.]
