On this day, people from every household on the streets of Xianyang City walked out of their homes and wandered on the streets.
This also caused the streets that originally seemed to be extremely wide to be crowded with people on this day.
If you look out the window on the second floor of the teahouse next to you, you will see noisy and noisy everywhere. Countless pedestrians and young people in groups also gather together on this day.
Even though it is the twelfth lunar month of winter.
Although most ordinary people cannot afford the dazzling array of precious jewelry on both sides of the street.
But none of this stops us from being a commoner and hoping for good weather in the coming year.
among the crowd.
After the sacrifice, Bai Yan was also strolling on the street with Bao Shi and Xi.
When he was in Qi State, only on the first day of the year, his mother was most likely to take him as a young boy to visit Linzi City.
Now that he has come to Qin State, it is his first first day in Qin State. After the sacrifice, Bai Yan will naturally not stay at home.
Behind Bai Yan.
It was also the first time for Bao to spend Yuan Day in Xianyang, and he was just wandering around without riding a carriage.
If Bai Yan hadn't taken care of her along the way.
Among the pedestrians coming and going, she might have become lost long ago.
"Madam, look!"
Xi cheered and cheered all the way, constantly looking at the dazzling array of jade pendants, wooden hairpins, and even wolf fangs hanging on the wooden racks on both sides of the street.
Seeing each of the merchants yelling vigorously and talking about the treasures they were selling, Xi's eyes felt as if they were too busy.
In the dense flow of people, Mr. Bao followed behind Bai Yan with his shoulders hunched, his pretty face under his black hair smiling.
A delicate hand was held in Bai Yan's hand at some unknown moment.
I have never experienced such lively violence. I am so happy for the first time in my life. I seem to have forgotten all my troubles and have no worries.
After a long time.
Beside a stream bridge, there were finally fewer people.
At this time, Bao Shi noticed that there was a long row of pedestrians on the other side of the river, waiting for fortune-telling one by one.
Bao Shi looked at Bai Yan beside him.
I thought that Bai Yanyuan would go to Shangjun in the future and lead troops to garrison in Gaonu.
"Doctor, worry, I want to do a fortune telling!"
Bao Shi said softly.
Bai Yan had already noticed the divination on the other side of the river. Now when he heard Bao's words, he did not refuse and nodded.
In fact, on normal days, Bai Yan would never do any divination.
In Bai Yan's eyes, if the divination technique is fake, it will be useless even if it is calculated. But if it is true and is arranged by God, the result will be the same regardless of whether it is calculated.
Therefore, for Bai Yan, divination has no effect, and he is not willing to waste time believing in it.
But it's New Year's Day now.
Since Mr. Bao wants to do divination, he should do it for a happy occasion.
"This teacher is really accurate! I came here last year to do a divination, and at that time the divination indicated that I was in bad luck."
"That's right, the people from the house next door to me also asked this master to do a divination, and they all said that this master's divination is accurate!"
Across the river.
Bai Yan had just approached the Bao family when he heard a row of people talking to each other, bragging about the power of the fortune teller.
Hear the words.
Looking at the beautiful eyes of Bao Shi and Xi behind him, Bai Yan shook his head with increasing expectation.
Of course the divination master’s calculation was accurate, because those who were not accurate did not come.
And even if you come, there are ways to fool you. If it's not good, it's probably because you leaked the secret and told others that it caused trouble.
If it is good, it means that the person who made the divination couldn't bear it and went back to pray for him.
The former tricks you and makes you pay, while the latter deceives you and makes you feel grateful and more willing to pay.
But Bai Yan knew that this kind of small coat was quite good.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, people's belief in divination was even more outrageous.
It can be said that everything as small as food, clothing and travel, as big as a war between two countries, must be counted as one hexagram. If the former hexagram is unfavorable, then you will not go out unless you are hungry or thirsty. If the latter hexagram is unfavorable, then you will not fight.
This outrageous phenomenon did not gradually disappear until the late Spring and Autumn Period.
Because according to the divination signs and rules, there were more than 300 days in that year, and more than 200 days were not suitable for travel!
Therefore, the nobles who had status at the beginning and were superstitious about hexagrams were gradually submerged by the trend of the times.
However, the vassal states that believed in hexagrams had already been annexed by other vassal states along with wars and disappeared in history.
Beside the river bank.
Many people couldn't help but stare straight at the fair-skinned Baoshi.
Been waiting for a long time.
Only then did Bao Shi arrive in front of the fortune teller.
"Where do you want to come from?"
The fortune teller is an old man with a bald front, kneeling in front of a wooden table. Behind the old man, a teenage girl kneels and sits aside.
Don't say it yet.
Seeing this, Bai Yan felt that this old man really had nothing to say about his temperament.
"Peace!"
At this time, Bao clan knelt down, glanced at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes, and then turned to the old man and spoke softly.
Bao's actions let the old man know that the stunning woman in front of him was wanted by the young man behind him.
The female disciple behind the old man also looked at the young man in surprise.
The female disciple was confused and a little confused because the young man's clothes did not look like someone from a wealthy family, nor did he look handsome.
Why is there such a stunning woman around me?
"Ahem~!"
With the sound of coughing, the female disciple came back to her senses.
It turned out that when the old man was preparing for divination, he suddenly discovered that the female apprentice behind him was looking at the woman in Qin uniform with confusion.
That's when I had to give a reminder.
After the female disciple came back to her senses, she looked a little embarrassed when she thought about her previous gaffe. Then, under the gaze of everyone, she quickly brought forward the wooden jar filled with many bamboo sticks.
"Take two of them!"
The female apprentice said to Bai Yan.
When Bai Yan heard what the female disciple said, he stepped forward and randomly took out two bamboo slips and handed them to the old man.
At this time, after taking the bamboo slips, the old man also took several small bronze vessels, closed his eyes and began to divine.
Along with the bronzeware falling to the ground.
"Look, the results are out!"
"Look!"
Bai Yan listened to the noisy voices behind him and looked at the old man with interest, wanting to see what the old man would say about his hexagram.
It's different from Bai Yan's ease.
Seeing the hexagrams coming out, Bao Shi and Xi could not help but become nervous at this moment.
"Some of the positions are facing north, some are facing south, and some are facing east, but they are all in the west."
The bald old man looked at several bronze vessels, murmured, and then picked up two bamboo slips.
After seeing it, the old man shook his head.
"Misfortune and good fortune accompany each other, and misfortune and fortune depend on each other."
The old man looked at Baoshi and Xi, whose pretty face was full of nervousness. He didn't say anything, but raised his head to look at Bai Yan.
"In order to seek peace, the aspects of this hexagram refer to safety, danger, misfortune and blessings. They do not depend on heaven, but on people. Blessings and disasters all come from people and are related to people! I cannot say more about this."
After the old man finished speaking, he handed the two bamboo slips to the female apprentice behind him.
Xi murmured this sentence, full of confusion.
In fact, not to mention Xi, even Bao's beautiful eyes were very confused and had only a partial understanding of the meaning of this sentence. However, the master had already said that he could not say any more, so she could not ask any more questions.
"Master, how much does this hexagram cost?"
Bao asked.
At this time, Xi was also taking out his money bag from his arms.
"Two cents!"
Under everyone's gaze, the female apprentice spoke.
At this time, Xi took out two coins and put them on the table, then helped Bao get up.
"Let's go back!"
Bai Yan turned to look at Bao. Apart from his mother, Bao was the first person to tell fortunes for him. This feeling of being cared about was quite good.
But after returning home, he also wanted to tell Mr. Bao that he didn't need to pay too much attention to the hexagrams.
"Um!"
Mr. Bao nodded. He had been traveling for a long time today and it was time to go back to his house to prepare dinner.
Xianyang City.
As night falls, the bustling scene in the city lasts from morning to night, and even after dark, it still does not dissipate much. People visit relatives and neighbors, and men go to restaurants to drink with friends after dinner. It is everywhere.
Inside a mansion.
After dinner, Bai Yan drank wine with Yu Laozu one cup at a time under the candlelight.
There was still good meat on the table, but next to the empty wine bottles on the floor, Feng Nian on the other side was already drunk and lying unconscious on the table.
After tomorrow, Bai Yan will prepare to go to Shangjun, and Old Soldier Yu will also return to Lantian Camp. I don't know when the next meeting will be.
Therefore, Bai Yan and Yu Laozu, one old and one young, all drank openly on this night.
Early the next morning.
Bai Yan put on his clothes and prepared to go on a long trip.
In the room, Bao held the cold Qin sword in his two slender hands, looking at Bai Yan in front of him with beautiful eyes, not knowing how to speak.
Bao Shi understood that no matter what she said, the young man in front of her would leave.
This is the responsibility that comes with the title of Junior.
Although Xianyang City was the center of power of the Qin State, and even though Xianyang Palace, at around nine o'clock every day before dawn, no less than a hundred civil and military officials from the Qin State would go to the palace to attend court.
But those things don't belong to this young man yet, and the young man hasn't reached that point yet.
"Await your return!"
Bao said softly, and slowly handed the sword in his hand to the young man in front of him.
Now in Xianyang, all she can do is wait for Bai Yan to return.
After hiding her name, the boy was her only support. She didn't care about status, she just wanted to return safely.
"Um!"
Bai Yan took the cold Qin sword, looked at Bao Shi, the woman kidnapped from Xinzheng, and nodded slightly.
The courtyard inside the mansion.
Old soldier Yu, Feng Nian is already waiting.
