Bieye did not answer Gu Rao's question directly, but took off Gu Rao's hairpin, and while washing her hair, he said, "I hope that day will never come, but if it does, I will not shrink back and will use my own strength." life to protect you."

Gu Rao didn't want to hear these words.

"Don't do anything stupid!"

"Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore. You should wash up quickly and later. All the people putting up lanterns outside have finished leaving. By then, there will only be two of us on the street."

Bieye said with a smile, "Isn't it good for two people?"

"It's night now, and it's just the two of us. If we do something, we don't have to worry about being seen by others."

Gu Rao's mouth twitched.

"What do you want to do on the street?"

Bieye didn't answer, and looked at Gu Rao with a look as if he knew what he was asking.

Gu Rao, "..."

"Why didn't I realize before that you were so innocent?"

Bieye raised his eyebrows.

"If a married man is still just like a blank piece of paper, he is either an idiot or inhumane."

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle

Bieye, "..."

He finally understood what it felt like to shoot himself in the foot. He had been talking too fast just now, but he had forgotten that in his wife's mind, he was an inhumane man.

Gu Rao coughed lightly.

"The tub is too small, I'll wash in the space."

Before Bieye could explain, the person sitting on him disappeared.

"..."

It seems that there are some things that cannot be explained clearly with words. Only practical actions can let her know that her judgment is wrong.

Although I don't know why she misunderstood, but to allow his wife to have such a misunderstanding, it is somewhat of a dereliction of duty on his part as a husband.

This kind of misunderstanding still needs to be contacted as soon as possible.

After Gu Rao and Bieye packed up and came out, the sky became darker and darker, but the streets were still crowded with people, people coming and going, and candlelight seemed to illuminate the night.

He wasn't hungry at first, but looking at the snacks he bought on the road, Gu Rao felt hungry again. He bought a sesame seed cake, a steamed bun, a bunch of candied haws, and ate two bowls of wontons.

She only ate a little of everything, tasted it and then stopped eating. The rest went into Bieye's stomach.

After almost finishing shopping, the two of them came to the river to put out lotus lanterns.

Gu Rao deliberately avoided the willow tree and came to the other side of the river to a stall selling lanterns.

"Boss, how do you sell these lotus lanterns of yours?"

The owner of Lotus Lantern first looked at Gu Rao and Bieye, and said with a smile, "I met a lot of guests tonight. You two are the most handsome and handsome, so I will sell it to you cheaper. It was originally twenty coins each, but now I’ll sell it to you for fifteen cents each.”

The stall is a wooden cart with a few exquisite lotus lanterns scattered on it.

Gu Rao asked, "Can I pick it up and take a look?"

The merchant nodded.

"These lotus lanterns are made of paper. Just be careful when holding them and don't break them. If they are broken, you have to buy them yourself."

Gu Rao responded, "Okay."

When I picked it up, I discovered that this lotus lantern was folded so lifelike, with gradient pink petals on top. The petals gradually turned white from the tip to the inner core. The outside was also wrapped in a circle of green leaves with the same gradient color. It looked better up close than from a distance. .

"Did you do this yourself?"

The merchant smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I have been in the business of selling lotus lanterns for more than 20 years. Of course, my craftsmanship has become more and more pure. You can search all over Donghuang County and you will not find anyone who makes lotus lanterns better than me."

"Some people are not skilled in craftsmanship, and the lotus lanterns they make are shoddy and careless. They can make several in an hour and sell them more expensively than me."

"Every lotus lantern I make, the color on it is dyed one by one with the smallest brush. It probably takes nearly half an hour to make a lotus lantern."

"Therefore, I generally do not accept bargaining for my lotus lanterns. This is also the reason why some customers do not know the goods and want to buy them elsewhere for a cheaper price."

"If I hadn't seen you two get along, I wouldn't have sold it to you cheaply."

"If you don't believe it, take another lotus lantern and take a closer look. Every lotus lantern is flawless. Keep it safe so that you won't regret it after buying it."

Gu Rao didn't pick up the others to look at, but directly asked for the one in his hand, then helped Bieye choose one as well, and then paid thirty coins.

"Thank you boss, I wish you a prosperous business."

The merchant's smile became more sincere.

"You can still write on it. Do you want to write it yourself, or do you want me to write it for you?"

Those who do this business often encounter people who cannot write. In order to meet the needs of customers, he has learned to write since he entered the industry, and now his handwriting is considered good-looking.

He also created several cursive characters of his own.

Picking up a few pieces of paper, he said to Gu Rao, "I wrote these myself. See if you like it. If you like it, write the two lanterns' messages together and only give me a penny for writing. , I usually charge two cents."

Gu Rao took a look and found that the cursive characters were really pretty. Although she could write, she was still a little moved.

A penny and not expensive.

Save money when it’s time to save it, and spend it when it’s time to spend it.

"Write it for me."

Originally I wanted to choose two cursive characters, but Beyeye suggested, "Our characters should be written in the same way, so that others will know that we are together."

Gu Rao said amusedly, "This boss doesn't just write these words for us, there are countless others with the same handwriting as ours."

Bieye added, "After the boss finishes writing, we can just add a mark ourselves."

Gu Rao thought.

"You're quite good at it, so just do as you say." After choosing the font, he said to the boss, "The two pieces of paper will write the same thing."

The vendor asked again, "What do you want to write?"

Gu Rao was stumped.

What should I write about?

She couldn't think of anything for a moment, so she elbowed the man next to her and asked, "Do you have anything you want to write?"

Don't think about it for a moment.

"My lotus lantern says 'every year brings joy every year', and your lotus lantern says 'morning and dusk have joy', how about it?"

Gu Rao nodded repeatedly.

"good idea!"

"Boss, just give us some of this!"

The merchant was a little hesitant.

"Is what you wrote too short or too simple? If you can't think of a good sentence, I can give you some suggestions."

Gu Rao shook his head.

"Thank you boss for your kindness. Just write these two sentences."

It’s hard to persuade the merchant.

"Okay, then I'll write it."

After writing it, Gu Rao asked for money. The merchant waved his hand and said helplessly, "That's all. I write these words to you. I don't feel sorry for your money. I treat these words as a gift to you. May your My wish comes true. Come and take care of my business again this time next year."

Gu Rao insisted on giving money.

"We asked ourselves to write less. The money was negotiated from the beginning. It's not easy for you to do business so late, so don't refuse to us."

“We will definitely come to support you next year!”

A smile appeared on the merchant's honest face.

"Then you're welcome. With this penny saved, I can buy an extra bunch of candied haws for Xiaohua. She makes trouble eating it every day, and I haven't been willing to buy it for her these days."

Xiaobao here has been changed to Xiaohua
