Chapter 042: The country girl enters the city and opens her eyes
In the autumn of Xicheng, in addition to the yellowing ginkgo leaves along the road, there are also the red maple leaves all over the mountains, which complement each other with the winding peaks, and look more colorful than spring and summer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time of the year, it is the most lively time in Xicheng, before entering the city, there are all kinds of vendors standing on both sides of the official road, and there are all kinds of things for sale, such as eating, wearing, playing, wearing, as long as you want to get it, you can see and sell.
However, the most people stop are the stalls with pen and ink books, and it is obvious that those who come here are all for the book club.
The horse-drawn carriages in the center of the official road were connected in a string, and because they had to be inspected to enter the city, the speed of walking was very slow. However, although the outside of the city was congested, entering the city was a different scene, and the streets were wide enough for three carriages to go side by side, and although there were many people, the place was large and not necessarily crowded.
Yao Xi stood at the gate of the city in a quiet daze, shocked by the current prosperous scene, this Xicheng felt that it was worth ten Xiaxiang counties, before she thought that Xiaxiang County was big enough, but now she felt that she was really a frog at the bottom of the well and had never seen the world.
"Don't be in a daze, if you have a chance to see it in the future-------- go to the inn first." Meng pushed her.
Yao Xian came back to his senses and happily followed, looking around as he walked and sighed: "This Xicheng is really good, I haven't seen anyone making trouble, everyone is so orderly, it's really a little unaccustomed." ”
In Xiaxiang County, the sneaking and abduction that occurs on the street every day can't be counted on ten fingers, and everyone is not surprised, and even looks at the excitement and feels bored, compared with the county, this is simply a holy place.
Luo Meng smiled: "Don't be fooled by this appearance, no matter how good Xicheng is, it is impossible for it to break away from the West Night Country, this country has decayed, even if it looks bright on the surface, it is unsightly on the inside." ”
His taunt was so strong that Yao Xian thought he was going to lose control of his emotions, and if it weren't for the fact that he seemed too calm on that face, she almost wanted to stop Luo Meng and tell him to stop being impulsive.
Fortunately, after saying that, his eyes were still looking around for the inn.
Yao Xian breathed a sigh of relief and secretly concluded that Luo Meng was a good young man who was jealous and hateful, perhaps because he had no way to serve the country and hated the helplessness of the status quo, so he always revealed a kind of ambition to strive for change.
"That's it, the other inns are mostly full, and you can't find the best ones. He stopped in front of an inn that looked quite large.
Yao Yan looked at the plaque, and then looked at the environment inside the inn, it was even more gorgeous than the best inn in Xiaxiang County, she was a little timid, and stepped forward to pull Luo Meng's sleeve; "Big brother--------- it's very expensive here, we can't afford to live there, let's change it." ”
Luo Meng smiled slightly, his feet had already walked in, Yao Yan stood at the door and looked at him helplessly, and finally shook his head and walked in.
The shopkeeper diligently introduced how many other rooms of what grade, Yao Xian was flustered when he heard it, this price is really more than twice as expensive as Xiaxiang County.
But Yang Meng gladly accepted it, and asked for two medium-sized rooms, she couldn't help but slander in her heart, whether it was Orion's son or not, the cost of this way, to say the least, was four or five taels, this was her family's expenses for a year.
At the same time, she still felt more embarrassed, she didn't have much money on her, and in the past month, she first hired a carriage because of the money given by Yang Meng.
The dry food was eaten half a month ago, and then he was in the restaurant all the way, and it was also out of his pocket.
Now he is in charge of even staying in the hotel, and Yao Xi is very uncomfortable. Write down this account silently, even if you can't pay it back now, if you have the opportunity in the future, this favor will have to be repaid.
The accommodation was set, and I had lunch by the way, and I ordered a few dishes and sat down at the window with Yao Xi.
Now that the heat has passed, there is still a cool breeze, at noon, the streets are full of traffic, Yao Xi thought in his heart, why not go out for a walk after eating, just to see what this Xicheng is like.
Before she could figure out how to speak to Yang Meng, the latter had already proposed, "After dinner, I'll take you somewhere." ”
Yao Xi already knew that it was not the first time for Luo Meng to come to Xicheng, and she was not surprised that the latter was familiar with this place, but she was curious about what the place was, and asked Xinqi: "Where is the eldest brother taking me?
Luo Meng first laughed, and then deliberately made a stern appearance: "You came all the way here just to have fun?"
Yao Shi shrugged: "The book club will take six days, and I haven't fallen behind in studying all the way, so why can't I play." ”
"That makes sense. Luo Meng took a breath, stopped teasing her, and explained: "People who come to Xicheng to participate in the book club will go to a place called Boyou Building.
This Boyou Building, as the name suggests, is the attic of Bowen Friends, this loft is also the largest attic in Xicheng, located in the center of Xicheng, with a total of seven floors.
There are many different competition venues on each floor of Boyou Building, you can choose the topic you are best at to do the main challenge at will, and there will naturally be people in the audience to face it.
And the champion who finally defends the ring, until no one dares to challenge, becomes the brave man of the ring. ”
Yao Xian listened to the freshness, and asked according to his own understanding: "Is it true that Boyoulou came according to the book club? Before the real competition, everyone will learn from each other and try the trial?"
Luo Meng praised with a smile: "It is precisely that the rules of the competition of the ------ Book Club are really different from the scientific examination, and the content of the competition is also very wide, in addition to the most common poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, riding and archery, scriptures, strategies, as well as arithmetic, law, medicine, incantation, Xuanzong and so on.
I'm afraid you haven't seen much of this, so I'll take you to see what the situation is. ”
Yao Xian was stunned to hear it, she originally thought that the book club would be a relatively large occasion like a scientific expedition at most, but it sounded completely different.
She drew circles on the table with her fingertips, and said with emotion: "There are so many sects, at most, you can choose one or two to compete, and each one will eventually produce a brave person, and win among so many talents, it is no wonder that you can directly enter Yangshan Academy." ”
Luo Meng was worried that she was cowardly in her heart, and comforted: "Although there are many people who come, don't be presumptuous, no one will expect the result until the last moment." And you can relax. ”
Yao Yan pursed his lips and smiled, pretending to bow his hands: "Thank you big brother for enlightening ---------"
It happened that Xiao Er brought food up, and she urged: "Hurry up and eat, and go to see Boyou Building after eating." ”
At that time, it was a good time, not sooner or later, except for Yao Xian here, this Xicheng, many people have such an idea, after eating, they have to go to Boyou Building to have a look.
