The morning sun of crossing

After eating two steamed buns and one pie, Wen Chenxu found that there was half a fried dough stick in front of him. Wen Chenxu raised his head and smiled at Chu Chengchen, who had been pinching things, and then went back to grab a steamed stuffed bun.

After eating the steamed stuffed bun in his bowl, seeing him licking his lips after taking a bite of the fritters, Chu Chengchen put down his chopsticks.

Wen Chenxu's eyes lit up when he noticed that he was picking up his bowl of porridge.

However, the next moment the bowl of porridge was brought to his mouth.

"It's too dry to just eat those, let's have a mouthful of porridge." Chu Chengchen handed over the bowl with one hand.

The white porridge looks very tasteless, and Wen Chenxu doesn't like to drink it.But his mouth was indeed a little dry, and he had brought it to his lips, so he opened his mouth and took two sips.

It was okay when he didn't drink it, but the more he drank it, the more dry his mouth became. Wen Chenxu didn't care about the porridge he didn't like, so he drank half a bowl of porridge with his hands.

After wiping the slightly wet corners of his lips with his thumb, Chu Chengchen withdrew his hand in satisfaction.

It is the right way for people to eat five grains. Chu Chengchen naturally hopes that he can get rid of the habit of not loving rice like him.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Wen Chenxu, who still wanted to be fed. Although Chu Rui didn't say anything, he remembered it in his heart.Thinking that if he said that he was young next time, he could use it to refute him.

Chu Chengchen had already used it well, and only moved his chopsticks a second time when Wen Chenxu picked something up for him.Although Wen Chenxu and Chu Rui continued to eat, their speed had already slowed down.

After finishing the remaining half bowl of porridge, Wen Chenxu felt full, but felt a pity looking at the unfinished breakfast on the table, especially the pie...

He was staring at the two remaining pies on the plate when he felt his sleeves tug twice.

Turning his head to look at Chu Rui, he saw him motioning to look aside, Wen Chenxu looked over, and saw a seven or eight-year-old child secretly looking at them.

"Why does he keep looking at us?" Chu Rui asked strangely.

His voice was not lowered, and the child next to him backed away as if he was frightened, and then ran back to the owner of the stall.

"Go, let's play." The stall owner pushed the child next to him to the side and got busy again.

"It should be something to eat." Thinking of him staring at the table before, Wen Chenxu guessed.

After oh, Chu Rui said: "Then why doesn't he eat?"

"Not everyone can eat whatever they want. They have to earn money first, and only after earning money can they eat." Wen Chenxu said seriously.

"Make money?"

"Just like now, they are making money by selling ready-made food to us."

"Then when we give him the money, can he eat whatever he wants?"

"Even if they earn money, they still need to see if they have enough to eat and buy clothes. If they have extra money, they will buy what they want to eat." Wen Chenxu thought for a while.

"Then they are so pitiful." Chu Rui said again after listening.

"There are still many people in this world who don't even have enough to eat. For the common people, it is a blessing to have enough food and drink." Chu Chengchen lowered his head and said to Chu Rui.

"Why can't you even eat enough?" Chu Rui looked up with doubts in his eyes.

"Drought, flood, locust plague...these are all reasons." Since it was not convenient to speak outside, Chu Chengchen only talked about natural disasters.

"Then... the emperor doesn't care?" Chu Rui asked, pushing down the "uncle emperor" who was approaching.

Every time there was a natural disaster, which time did the court fail to provide disaster relief, but after going down through the layers, how many really went to the people.

The drought in the north this time was caused by Chu Chengchen who got angry several times, and even demoted and punished many officials, so that those people restrained a lot.

Chu Chengchen explained to him in a low voice, then stroked his head and said, "So, you must be a good emperor in the future so that the people will not starve or suffer from cold."

"Yeah!" Chu Rui nodded vigorously.

Speaking of this topic, Wen Chenxu felt that it was too wasteful when he looked at the two steamed buns, a steamed bun, two pies and a fritter left on the table.

After sitting for a while, he couldn't eat any more, so he pushed the steamed bun to Chu Rui, pushed the two steamed buns to Chu Chengchen, and finally pulled the pie in front of him.

Seeing that there was one fried dough stick left, he thought about it and pushed it to Chu Chengchen.

"Didn't it mean that there are still people who have nothing to eat? Then let's not waste it."

Seeing them looking over, Wen Chenxu finished eating with a pie in his hands.

Chu Rui nodded, picked up the buns in front of him and ate them, leaving Chu Chengchen alone to look at the two big steamed buns and a deep-fried dough stick in front of him.

"Master, the slave is not ready for breakfast, it's better to give this steamed bun to the slave."

Under Chu Chengchen's gaze, Fu'an came up to beg for the reward in a low voice.

Chu Chengchen nodded to signal him to take it away, and then reminded, "Don't waste it."

Thinking that he would eat breakfast when he was sitting next to him, at this time he heard that he hadn't eaten, so Wen Chenxu quickly divided his pie and asked concerned: "Is it enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough, thank you, Master Wen." Fu An thanked with a smile and returned to the table next to him with a plate.

After sitting down, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and then he slowly picked up the steamed buns and put them into his mouth.

God knows that in order to serve the emperor, he eats in advance every day before the emperor gets up, and today he ate a lot more because he knew that he would accompany him out of the palace, okay?

Just as they were eating breakfast, the sky was getting brighter, and the number of people on the street gradually increased.

After they had finished eating, Chu Rui took out his purse.

The money for the porridge and steamed buns was indeed not paid yet, seeing that His Highness seemed interested in paying the bill, Fu An, who was full of food, did not move.

Opening the purse and flipping through it, Chu Rui took out the largest ingot of silver and handed it over.

The stall owner was immediately frightened by him, "This... this I... I can't find it."

After staying with him for so long, Wen Chenxu guessed what he wanted to say when he opened his mouth, so he quickly gave him a hand, and then asked the stall owner, "How much is the total?"

"Porridge costs a penny a bowl, and steamed buns cost two pennies a piece, a total of nine pennies." The stall owner said with a glance at him.

Fortunately, Chu Chengchen had someone take this wheelchair out of Wen's residence, and Wen Chenxu's wooden box was also there.

He nodded, opened the wooden box, grabbed a dozen copper coins from a purse, and handed it over.

"Thank you, young master." The stall owner took it with a smile, and thanked him with a bow.

"You're welcome." Wen Chenxu said.

After leaving the stall, Chu Rui was puzzled and said, "Why doesn't he want the money I gave?"

"Because you have too much money, he can't find it."

"Then he doesn't need to look for it, and the rest can be rewarded to him."

"It's okay to have a little more, and he won't dare to ask for too much." Wen Chenxu turned to look at him, "And it's written in the book you read last time that you don't get paid for nothing."

"Then I'll trade it with you." Chu Rui handed over his purse.

"One tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand Wen, and you will lose money if you exchange it with me." After finishing speaking, Wen Chenxu opened the wooden box and gave him a purse of copper coins, then took the purse in his hand and put it in, saying: "I will help you first." You leave it alone."

Seeing that Chu Rui was opening the purse and seemed to want to count how much money was in it, Wen Chenxu, who had fallen over, pulled him to sit next to him, and put down the small table for him to pour out the money and count.

"Where are we going?" Seeing that he was concentrating on counting, Wen Chenxu didn't bother, and looked up at Chu Chengchen.

"Where do you want to go?"

"It will be all right."

Hearing what they said, Chu Rui stopped the movement of his hands, "Where is the most lively and fun?"

The busiest and most fun place in the capital is naturally West Street, but not to mention Chu Shengchen, even Wen Chenxu didn't feel at ease taking him there because there were too many people there.

"Go back to the East Street you just came over."

In the end Chu Chengchen made his decision.

For Chu Rui, who had never seen the variety and excitement of West Street, the East Street with all the shops and stalls on both sides of the street was enough for him to see.

After crossing the alley and arriving at Dongjie, he couldn't help getting out of the wheelchair, holding his purse and looking around.

"Xuxu, look what it is." Chu Rui pointed to a stall.

Looking along his hand, there are masks, windmills, kites and other things placed there.

"Let's go and have a look." Wen Chenxu said.

"Okay." Chu Rui nodded reservedly, with an expression of "I'll go and see with you".

When the middle-aged man in front of the stall saw them coming, he put on a smile on his face. Knowing that these were queens who were not short of money, he lowered his head and introduced to the only child.

"Young master, look at how flexible this windmill is, even if there is no wind, it can move with a wave of your hand."

Seeing the windmill in his hand turning, Chu Rui's eyes were bright, but he only nodded after he finished speaking.

The middle-aged man thought he didn't like it, so he put down the windmill and picked up a kite, "Or look at this majestic eagle kite, it's the best to fly a kite in today's weather, if..."

His eyes followed his hand and he put down the windmill, and then Chu Rui was attracted by the paper kite again.

Seeing that he clearly liked it but still tried to keep a straight face, Wen Chenxu pursed his lips into a smile, and took a mask from the stall and put it on his face for the people next to him to see.

Seeing him instantly turn into a round cat face, Chu Chengchen stretched out his hand and tapped on the mask, and said with a smile, "Little cat."

Wen Chenxu meowed at him and took off the mask with a smile, and then took a few more, including other animals and male and female dolls.

Suddenly seeing a blue-faced fangs sandwiched in the middle, Wen Chenxu was taken aback, then bent his lips and lowered his head to put on the mask, called "Xuanyao" and then raised his head suddenly.

"Scare me." Chu Chengchen patted his chest cooperatively, but there was no expression of being frightened on his face.

"It will definitely scare you at night." Wen Chenxu took off his mask and said.

"Xuanyao, lower your head." Seeing that he didn't scare him, Wen Chenxu wanted to see what he looked like wearing these masks.

After glancing at the pig face and baby face mask in his arms, Chu Chengchen still lowered his head.However, Wen Chenxu didn't take the one on his body, but took a silver half mask from the stall and put it on his face.

The silver mask covered the upper half of his face, with only his eyes and thin lips showing, he looked more mysterious and indifferent.

"It looks good." Wen Chenxu nodded and smiled.

After watching for a while, he took off the silver mask, took another mask and quickly put it on for him.

I don't know if the mask was a semi-finished product or it was planned to be like this. Except for the two holes in the eyes, the rest is a flat and smooth piece, and the nose and mouth are not even made.

"The Faceless Man..." Wen Chenxu pursed his lips but couldn't help laughing.

Isn't he a faceless person? Fuan couldn't help but lowered his head after taking a look.

When Chu Rui, who heard the laughter, turned his head, Wen Chenxu had already taken off the mask because he was afraid that he would hold back.

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Rui asked strangely.

Wen Chenxu directly stuffed the mask to him, and when he looked up at Chu Chengchen, he still couldn't help laughing.

Stretching out his hand and twisting his face, Chu Chengchen said, "I like that mask so much, why don't I buy it for you to wear every day?"

"I don't want it." Wen Chenxu shook his head, fearing that he was serious, he took his hand and shouted, "Xuanyao..."

He also said that he didn't act like a baby with the emperor's uncle, so he lied to me.Chu Rui thought while holding the faceless mask.

Seeing that the child didn't respond after talking for a long time, but the two adults here seem to want to buy, the middle-aged stall owner bent down and took out a lot of masks and said: "I'm not boasting, my masks are the most varied. "

The masks that were taken out again included rabbits, tigers, and ghosts.

Taking a piece of rabbit paper and covering Wen Chenxu's face, Chu Chengchen curled his lower lip and handed it to Fu'an.

Seeing him try one mask after another on his face, Wen Chenxu saw that they were all animal ones, so he let him go, and even chose a wolf one for him to wear for himself.

After trying for a while and picking out five masks, Chu Chengchen signaled Fu'an to give him money.

"I'll do it." Chu Rui raised the purse in his hand and said, then raised his head and said, "How much is it?"

"A total of twenty texts."

"I also want the windmill and the paper kite." Chu Rui raised his chin and pointed at the two things hanging high.

This was a surprise, and the middle-aged man hurriedly took down the two things to Fu An, and said again: "Add these two together for 35 Wen."

With a hum, Chu Rui grabbed a handful of copper coins and counted out 35. After thinking about it, he added five more and handed them to him.

The middle-aged man saw it and said with a smile: "Thank you, young master, for the reward."

"You're welcome." Chu Rui waved his hand.

Seeing him completely copying his previous appearance, Wen Chenxu raised his head and looked at Chu Chengchen with a smile.

Stretching out his hand to touch his head, Chu Chengchen also hooked his lower lip.

Because Chu Rui is interested in everything, they walked slowly and strolled.

When Chu Rui was attracted by a woodcarving stall, Wen Chenxu fell in love with the jade pendant on the ground next to him.

"It's all carved out of stone, it's worthless." The young man who found someone picked up the jade pendant to set up a stall raised his head happily, and said when he saw the well-dressed person in front of him, who looked either rich or expensive.

What attracted him was the vivid carving on the jade pendant, Wen Chenxu hummed and continued to look at it indifferently.

When Wen Chenxu found that the fish carved into two tail-chasing fish could be separated into two pieces, Wen Chenxu was a little surprised and closed it again.

"Xuanyao, don't you like it?" Wen Chenxu raised his hand and said.

"You want to give it to me?" Chu Chengchen glanced over the jade pendant in his hand, with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing that the one holding the jade pendant seemed to be buying it as a gift, the young man was happy and at the same time did not forget to remind him, "It's a flounder."
