Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and there was a loud knock on Li Yang's door early in the morning. Li Yang stretched and reluctantly got up from the bed.
Hearing Li Yang agree in the room, He Shanshan pulled He Huan and walked quickly towards the room next to her.
"He Jie, get up!" Within a few seconds, Li Yang heard another knock on the door.
Li Yang shook his head helplessly. He didn't know where these girls got so much energy. Last night, he showed them the Moon Shadow Lamp and the Immortality Bowl until past twelve o'clock. Then, just before seven o'clock in the morning, he came over again.
There's a knock on the door.
Ten minutes later, when Li Yang went downstairs to have breakfast, he met He Jie, whose eyes were still hazy.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The house was very lively during the New Year, but the excitement was a bit too much. Except for the He family who came to pay New Year's greetings and make friends, these little guys were the most troublesome.
Under the leadership of He Shanshan, the first person to make trouble was Li Yang, followed by He Jie.
Li Yang was tormented because of the national treasures and artifacts displayed in the last small exhibition. No one could get enough of these national treasures and artifacts. With the permission of the old man, Li Yang was giving them a separate display almost every night these days. These people
After watching it for a long time, Li Yang complained unbearably.
He Jie is because of his status. He is the oldest and most dignified among the third generation of the He family. These little sisters are afraid of and happy with him, but they also like to be with him very much.
Li Yang and He Jie were having breakfast, and He Huan sat over excitedly: "Brother Li Yang, Brother Jie, which temple fair are we going to visit today?"
"Visiting the temple fair?" Li Yang and He Jie looked at each other again, and both of them shook their heads subconsciously.
Visiting the temple fair was something they agreed to do yesterday under forced circumstances. Unexpectedly, this little girl remembered it so clearly and came to pester them so early in the morning.
"Let's go to Dongyue Temple, but we have agreed first that this is the last time!"
He Jie took a sip of porridge and took a few bites of steamed buns. It was not easy to serve these little ancestors well. If the old man hadn't issued a death order and asked He Jie to take care of his other younger brothers and sisters, he would have fled long ago.
The Dongyue Temple Fair is one of the famous temple fairs in old Beijing, and it is also a famous Spring Festival temple fair. He Jie promised to take them out to the temple fair, and also had the idea of going out to relax. In the past few days, many important guests have come to the house during the Chinese New Year. He Jie has been visiting the temple fair every day.
They all stood next to the old man like a good baby, and they had already become impatient.
After hearing what He Jie said about going to Dongyue Temple, He Huan, He Jialu and the other little guys all jumped up with joy, causing the old men in the living room to look back at the restaurant with bright smiles on their faces.
We went out at eight o'clock, and a few people arrived at Dongyue Temple before nine o'clock. There were not as many people here as there were on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but there were still quite a few. Especially at the door, there were many people standing densely.
Li Yang took Wang Jiajia's hand and walked out of the car. Wang Jiajia has been coming to Li Yang every day since the third grade of junior high school. Unfortunately, Wang Jiajia was too embarrassed to stay directly at night. Li Yang would send her back as soon as the weather turned dark.
"There are so many people. It is indeed much better than abroad. Even in Chinatown, you can't see such a lively place abroad!" After getting off the car, He Shanshan walked directly to Wang Jiajia and shouted excitedly.
"Brother Li Yang, what are so many of them doing?"
He Huan also came over and pointed to the place with the most people at the door. There were the most people there, standing together in twos and threes, and there were many people queuing up. People in the queue would stop for a moment when they reached the middle, and then
He happily left and entered the temple gate.
"I'm not sure, I'll find out if I go over and take a look!"
Li Yang shook his head. His eyesight was good, but with so many people blocking his eyes, he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
Wang Jiajia pulled Li Yang and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "I know this!"
"Sister Jiajia, you know, tell me quickly!"
He Huan immediately changed his target, walked to Wang Jiajia's side, squeezed in between He Shanshan and Zhuang Jiajia, and stared at Wang Jiajia curiously.
He Jialu and the other little guys also came over. He Jie breathed a long sigh of relief, he could finally be quiet for a while.
Liu Gang and Gao Feng both had smiles on their faces. Liu Gang had no relatives. Li Yang and the old man were his relatives. He didn't go anywhere during the New Year and stayed with Li Yang.
As for Gao Feng, he has already made his home in Beijing. He will not follow He Jie when he is home. He will definitely follow He Jie when he goes out. There are many people in Beijing celebrating the New Year, so he will not be able to bear the consequences if He Jie makes any mistakes while away from home.
Wang Jiajia pursed her lips and smiled and said: "There is a little stone monkey there. Legend has it that it is a spiritual monkey. Touching him can make your eyes brighter and make you smarter!"
After listening to Wang Jiajia's words, the eyes of the little guys became brighter and brighter, and they all wanted to go over and touch the stone monkey. Li Yang stood next to He Jie, and the two of them shook their heads together.
However, the legend of this monkey is true. Wang Jiajia is a reporter and has written similar reports before. However, this is the first time she has seen the stone monkey in front of the Dongyue Temple.
At the request of several little guys, several people lined up at the door. It was exactly what Wang Jiajia said. There was a stone monkey relief here, and all the people in line just stared and stroked the little stone monkey's head.
Someone next to me introduced what kind of good luck would come if touching the monkey. This man was very good at talking, and whether he was talking or not, he made everyone who listened seem very happy.
These happy people, when they see the merit box for voluntary donations in front of the little stone monkey, can't help but throw in a few more bills, both large and small. Just looking at the thick half box of bills, they know what the stone monkey is doing today.
The harvest is definitely good.
Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. There are not too many people. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I heard that I had to queue for half an hour to touch the stone monkey. Now it was Li Yang's turn after only waiting in line for a few minutes.
The stone monkey in front of me looks very cute, especially its head, which is shiny because it has been touched by so many people. It forms a sharp contrast with the dark gray green sand stone sculptures next to it.
With a head like this, anyone who sees it will probably be tempted to step forward and touch it.
He Shanshan was at the front of the queue, petted her a few times, threw a banknote and left with a smile. The other little guys smiled and touched her in turn. When Li Yang touched her, she discovered that the head of the little stone monkey was actually
It was warm, which made Li Yang couldn't help but smile.
"Let's go!"
After petting the stone monkey, it is equivalent to entering the temple gate. Not to mention whether this little monkey can really make their eyes brighter, it is enough for everyone if it just plays a happy role.
While petting the little stone monkey, Li Yang couldn't help but turn on his special ability and observed the little stone monkey.
The observation results will naturally not bring any unexpected surprise to Li Yang. The little stone monkey is carved from very ordinary blue sandstone. There is nothing special about it. However, the little stone monkey has multiple layers of light yellow halo on its body, which can be regarded as something with an age.

"Brother Li Yang, I want candied haws!"
He Jialu suddenly ran in front of Li Yang and pointed to the large candied hawsed apples clustered in the distance. The candied hawsed apples at the Beijing Spring Festival Temple Fair were a sight to behold, and almost everyone who went to the temple fair would pick up a bunch.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you!" Li Yang smiled, and several children yelled again.
He Jie is usually a bit serious, and these younger brothers and sisters are a little afraid of He Jie. They can pester He Jie for fun, but when they want to buy things, they always go to Li Yang, who is much easier to talk to than He Jie.
After a while, everyone, adults and children, had a candied haws, and several children were waving their candied haws proudly.
Even He Jie was no exception this time. Looking at the large bunch of candied haws in his hand, He Jie shook his head and smiled, and actually went up to bite one. He hadn't felt such childlike happiness in a long time.
As the eldest son and grandson of the He family, he is young and holds a high position. The pressure on him is no less than that of the second generation of the He family, and perhaps more than that of several uncles.
…
There are many people at the Dongyue Temple Temple Fair, and the biggest feature is the stalls at the entrance of the temple. In addition to various snacks, there are also many street stalls selling antique things.
Li Yang and the others walked by several foreigners from time to time. What these foreigners liked to see the most were the stalls. There were many small ceramic figures or some bronzes on the stalls, but most of them didn't look very good, so they couldn't be fooled.
It’s okay for knowledgeable people and foreigners, but you can’t deceive people who really know the business.
Li Yang glanced at these stalls, then shook his head and smiled. Li Yang still remembered seeing a similar scene on TV, but he didn't expect that it really existed in old Beijing.
“No, no, it’s too expensive, it’s too expensive!”
Li Yang and the others were walking, and in front of them there was a foreigner with blue eyes and yellow hair who was waving his hands vigorously. His Chinese was a bit stiff, and he occasionally added a few sentences in English while speaking.
"This is my price, every penny is a lot!"
The person standing in front of the foreigner was a middle-aged man in his forties. He seemed quite kind. He didn't argue with the foreigner and emphasized that he would not bargain for his things.
"Crazy, crazy, you are crazy!"
The foreigner said a few words, but the middle-aged man ignored him at all. He couldn't help but lose his temper, dropped a few words in Mandarin with very foreign characteristics, and left.
The middle-aged man set up a very simple street stall. There was only an ancient sword on the stall, and the stalls next to him were filled with all kinds of small things. The people setting up stalls on both sides looked at him contemptuously, with tears in their eyes.
With contempt.
"Li Yang, let's go take a look?" Wang Jiajia took Li Yang's arm and said softly.
Wang Jiajia discovered that Li Yang had been paying attention to this vendor and the foreigner just now, so she helped Li Yang make this suggestion. Wang Jiajia herself was not interested in these things.
Li Yang looked back at Wang Jiajia, nodded and smiled, and the little guys didn't even care and followed him.
The ancient sword in front of the vendor is very long, about 1.2 meters. This is definitely a rare long sword in ancient times. Generally speaking, people who are not very tall will never use such a long sword.
Looking at the sword, the smile on Li Yang's face slowly disappeared, his brows wrinkled slightly, and his face became much more serious.
