The young man walked alone in the alley, his eyes swept over, in addition to all kinds of stalls on both sides of the alley, there were dozens of old people occupying a corner, and those corners were the best places to blow the spring breeze.

"Hairpins, good-looking hairpins, and rouge gouache. ”

The cook's courtyard was at the innermost and easternmost part of the alley, so the boy went to the west again, and suddenly he smelled the fragrant fragrance in his nose, and turned his head to see that it was a young girl selling rouge gouache.

Thinking about how sad the girl was in the morning, the boy wanted to buy her some rouge gouache or ornaments to comfort her.

"Sister, is there any rouge gouache suitable for sixteen-year-old girls? ”

The girl who sells rouge gouache is a young girl in her peach and plum years, with a light makeup painted on her face, and the girl looks at the teenager who came to buy rouge gouache is only a teenager, and she smiles inexplicably.

"What's wrong?" the young man picked up a small crockpot on the stall and looked at it, and saw the girl smile inexplicably, thinking that he had the meat porridge that Lin Ziyou poured in the morning on his face and had not wiped it.

"I see that you are so young, do you fall in love with any girl?" The girl snatched a few crockpots that Chen Meng picked up, and said, "These are more painful to the skin, so don't take them to your sweetheart." ”

"I'm not a sweetheart. Chen Meng glanced at the girl and briefly told her what happened in the morning.

The girl had just chosen a rouge and put it in Chenmeng's hand, but she heard the boy tell what happened in the morning, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and laughed out loud, and he was not reserved at all.

"I really feel sorry for that girl, I actually met you with an elm head, hahahi. ”

Chen Meng took the rouge handed by the girl, sniffed it lightly, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers, although the fragrance of flowers was very light, but the feeling to Chen Meng was that the fragrance of flowers was more than one kind of flower fragrance.

"Sister, do you know anything? Chen Meng looked at the girl suspiciously, it seemed that Lin Ziyou cried and rushed away in the morning, not because it was as simple as missing her mother.

"Haha, I don't know anything. The girl's tears of laughter were about to come out, but she still waved her hand again and again, unwilling to tell Chen Meng the truth.

Chen Meng pursed his lips and didn't ask, but asked about the price of the rouge in his hand.

"Five coins is enough, are you sure you don't want to buy any other trinkets or anything like that for your sweetheart, she'll be happier." The girl tilted her head to look at Chenmeng, and at the same time Jade pointed to the trinkets placed next to the rouge gouache.

"I said that I am not a sweetheart. The boy shook his head helplessly, but his eyes looked at the ornaments next to him.

There are a lot of jewelry, but most of them are hairpins, bracelets and necklaces, there are only a few, but at a glance, these jewelry are extremely delicate and particularly eye-catching.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's not your sweetheart, but you're that girl's sweetheart. The girl's words came later, the quieter the voice, Chen Meng's hearing was not bad, but his attention was on the jewelry on the side.

"Just this necklace and this hairpin, how much is it. After thinking for a long time, Chen Meng finally picked up two necklaces and hairpins that were close together.

The chain and hairpin appear to be a set, both carved with a pair of lifelike phoenixes, as if a pair of finger-sized phoenixes were inlaid there after death.

"The necklace and hairpin are all ten Xiang coins, and the rouge is twenty-five Xiang coins. The girl looked at the two objects that Chen Meng was holding, her eyes showed reluctance, those were the two objects she had done best, and the time spent was twice as long as the other objects, if it wasn't for the family's urgent need for money, how could she be willing to take them out and sell them.

The young man's hand turned down, and when he turned it up again, there were twenty-five more dark green coins in his palm.

"Put it away. The boy gave the girl the coin, and then put it in his pocket, and walked toward the west end of the alley.

"Selling hairpins, selling rouge gouache ......"

The girl's voice was mixed with all kinds of shouts, ringing in the back of the boy's head and echoing in the quiet alley.

Before he knew it, the boy had reached the end of the alley, which was connected to an avenue at the western end, and on either side of the end, on the left stood an ancient tree, and on the right there was a small courtyard.

The ancient tree is thousands of years old, and five or six people can't hold it together, standing there like a guardian guarding the alley, guarding the tranquility of the alley for many years.

The small courtyard on the right is the residence of the watchman who has always been beaten, and for hundreds of years, this small courtyard has not changed hands, that is to say, for hundreds of years, the watchman in the alley is a family, from the grandfather to the great-grandson.

There are dozens of families in the alley, and they can't talk about compliments to the people who live in this courtyard, but there is still respect.

In fact, the recent generation of teenagers and children are full of disdain for a family whose ancestors are all watchmen, and the realm of a continent advocates cultivation, and only the strong can stand at the top of the world, and the younger generation has never seen what these watchmen have cultivated, or what powerful means they have, so they despise it.

"Gong Bo. ”

Early in the morning, he sat in front of the gate with a small bench, smoking dry cigarettes, blowing the spring breeze, and silently watching the noise of the alley in the early morning.

When the young man came over and saw the old man, he immediately bent down and bowed.

"Chen Menggongzi of the Xingyu Chamber of Commerce, you can break your old body, how can my old thing, who has no power to restrain the chicken, withstand your worship. Although the old man spoke like this, he sat on the bench, his smoking movements did not change at all, and the expression on his face was extremely indifferent.

It is not so much that Chen Meng worships him and torments him, but that he is worshiped by Chen Meng and can be at ease.

The boy smiled faintly, but he didn't say anything, he knew all this very well in his heart.

Immediately, the young man walked out of the alley, and the old man nodded at the back of the young man's departure, and then silently looked into the alley.

Although the alleys in the early morning are a little noisy, they are generally calm, and no one will open their throats and shout, all of them are shouting in the voice of ordinary people, but outside the alley, it is a completely different picture.

The morning sun has risen up, the warm sunshine is wantonly sprinkled on the avenue of six or seven zhang wide, the figures come and go in an endless stream, one after another carriages are sandwiched between the road, although there is no stall to sell, but the noise in the shops can be a little small, the tavern teahouse inn, the noise that comes out, is also a layer over a layer, in the small city, it is very lively.

"Young Master Chen, it's early. ”

The breeze was gentle, with a wisp of fragrant fragrance, and the young man looked ahead, and directly opposite the avenue stood a woman with a pale face and frivolous steps.

The woman's name is Xu Fengyuan, she is the hostess of the first restaurant in the small city, she has a cold aura in her body since she was a child, and that cold aura not only makes her unable to cultivate Xuanyuan, but also tortures her body to be extremely weak.

"Sister Fengyuan, you're early. The boy nodded at the woman, turned to the right without hesitation, and walked forward.

"Young Master Chen, please stay. Xu Fengyuan saw that the young man was leaving, so he hurriedly raised his hand and shouted softly, but it was this small action that made her a little unbearable, and the light blue gas that came out of her nose turned out to be cold.

"Sister Fengyuan!" The young man saw the woman's delicate body fluttering in the spring breeze, and his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly lifted a stream of Xuanyuan and injected it between his legs.

I saw that the young man's body was swaying, and his footsteps were silent, and in the next moment, his shadow appeared on the other side of the avenue.

But before the young man approached Xu Fengyuan, the woman's body softened and fell backwards.

Seeing that the woman's delicate body was about to stick to the solid floor, the young man saw a white shadow flashing beside her, and then saw a handsome young man standing beside her, holding her fallen delicate body with two hands.

"Landlord, be careful. The young man's face was steady, and there was no trace of frivolity on his face when he held the woman in his hands, but he looked like an honest man.

Xu Fengyuan shook his head slightly, stood up with a trembling body, and supported a jade hand on the young man's shoulder, slowly stabilizing his figure.

"Sister Fengyuan, your body is even weaker. The boy approached and watched as the young man nodded slightly, and the man nodded at him.

"Master Chenmeng. ”

Xu Fengyuan smiled, even though her face was extremely pale, but her smile didn't know how many people's souls could be captured, "I don't care, you go to my restaurant to take a look, the third lady of your family, she came to drink, you know that she can't drink enough, she will be drunk for a while, but be careful of making bad things." ”

"Hmm. The young man nodded, glanced at the young man beside the woman again, and said, "Yuan Xing, take care of Sister Fengyuan." ”

The young man said indifferently: "There is no need for Chen Menggongzi to remind me, Feng Yuan is my employer, and I will naturally ensure that she is complete." ”

Chen Meng didn't say anything anymore, and immediately raised his feet and walked all the way south along the avenue.

There were a lot of people on the road, and it was fine when there were no carriages passing by, and people could walk in the middle of the road, but once the carriages came, all the people had to lean on both sides of the road.

At this moment, the location of the young man is not very good, the prestigious Mixiang Building is nearby, although the scale of Mixiang Building is not the largest among all the pleasure places in the small city, but the quality of the women in this is the best in the city, even in the surrounding thousands of miles of those cities, there is no comparison with it.

Therefore, not only in the small city, but also in the surrounding cities, there are countless people every day who want to come to this Mixiang Building to have fun.

On the avenue where the teenager walked, there are now seventy percent of the people, some of whom come because of the fame of Mixiang Building, and some of whom are frequent visitors to Mixiang Building.

The young man didn't want to listen to the foul words of those young talents on the road, but sped up his pace and hurried towards the Yuanmeng Restaurant.

Lin Ziyou doesn't know how many people in the city are the dream lover, her alcohol consumption is not good, she was drunk after drinking half a glass of spirits with the young man, if she was drunk in the restaurant and there was no one around to take care of her, it would be bad.

"This stupid girl, why is it bad, you want to drink. The boy shook his head helplessly.

"The third lady is drunk in the Yuanmeng Restaurant. ”

The young man's sight suddenly broke into a middle-aged man wearing a special robe made by the Star Rain Chamber of Commerce, and as soon as the middle-aged man saw Chen Meng, it was like seeing a savior, and he almost pounced on the young man.

"Expected. The young man said, his footsteps did not stop because of the arrival of the middle-aged man, "Nothing happened." ”

"Not for the time being, there is a maid in the Chamber of Commerce who came out to buy spices, and now she is there to take care of Miss, but Master Chenmeng, you should go over quickly, you also know that Nancheng has never been very peaceful, if there is a bully, how can it be good to violate Miss." The middle-aged man was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and his hands couldn't help waving in the air.

After all, the south of the city is not as good as the north of the city, everything in the north of the city is safe and orderly, everyone abides by the law, and the south of the city since the completion of the Tianlai wharf three hundred years ago, there has been a constant dispute between these major forces, more than one hundred and fifty years ago, the city lord's mansion because of its reluctance to intervene in the battle between the major forces, resolutely gave up the management of the south city, resulting in a large influx of foreign forces into the south city, joining the turbulence of the ownership of the Tianlai wharf.

When the old city lord took office seventy years ago, he saw that Tianlai Wharf was still ownerless, and wanted to intervene in the management of Nancheng and distribute the dominance of Tianlai Wharf, but found that many foreign forces had taken root in Nancheng, and they were completely dissatisfied with the orders of the city lord's mansion, and because these forces had a lot of foreign aid outside, the old city lord had to shake his head and forever put the management of Nancheng outside the city lord's rights.

Today's Nancheng is a place where fish and dragons are mixed and bullies are rampant, with Lin Ziyou's identity, in Beicheng, even if she is drunk and lying on the road, no one dares to touch her, but carefully goes to the Xingyu Chamber of Commerce to report the news.

As for being in the South Side......

"You go back and report to the president first, and I'll go see Miss." A cold light inadvertently drifted in Chen Meng's eyes, and the middle-aged man who followed him couldn't help but shiver.

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man stopped, looking at the back of the young man leaving, he could feel that the young man walked heavier with every step, and for some reason he was very relieved to look at this scene.
