Lin Dong received Chen Meiyu's reply and invited him to meet him at the Fengqiao Inn in Fuguifang in the city.

Maple Bridge Inn?

Why would she ask me to go to that kind of place?

Lin Dong was puzzled, Chen Meiyu was a little interesting to him, which he had known for a long time, but he would not directly call him to go to that kind of place. What he didn't know was that although the Fengqiao Inn had the word "inn" in its name, it was not an ordinary hotel.

The Fuguifang in the city belongs to the ancient city, Lin Dong drove to the outside of the fang, because the road in the fang is narrow, so he had to park the car outside the fang, get out of the car and walk.

Fuguifang is the most well-preserved section of the ancient city of Sioux City, standing under the door of the square and looking inside, a bluestone path that is not wide or narrow is winding, the white walls and green tiles on both sides of the path, and the small buildings stand. The architectural style of Jiangnan pays attention to grace and delicateness, just like the women in Jiangnan, the eaves of the small buildings on both sides are hung high, showing the shape of an arc-shaped half-moon, like a black phoenix soaring into the sky.

Under the eaves hangs a red lantern, at the beginning of night, the lantern has been lit, casting a red light and shadow on the road.

Lin Dong walked on the bluestone slab path of Fuguifang, as if returning to ancient times, although the lights in the lantern have been replaced by electric lights, and the window paper on the hollow doors and windows has also been replaced by glass, but most of the buildings here were built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is said that the oldest can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty, which is very vicissitudes.

Walking in the workshop, I heard faintly from the ancient houses on both sides, although I couldn't understand what was sung, but it did not prevent me from appreciating the artistic conception. Lin Dong felt as if he was in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, in the alley, a woman dressed in the Ming and Qing dynasties held a flower umbrella in her hand, and her embroidered shoes were afraid of being splashed by the rain.

"Mr. Lin ......"

Suddenly, a familiar voice seemed to float from the sky. Pulling Lin Dong back to reality in a trance, the water waves rippled in front of him, and the woman who ran away in shame just now was gone, replaced by Chen Meiyu standing opposite him with a smile.

Lin Dong looked up at the house on the left, a three-story small building, and four gilded characters on the door plaque: Fengqiao Inn! It turned out that I had unconsciously arrived at the place agreed with Chen Meiyu.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I've made you wait for me. Lin Dong laughed.

Chen Meiyu wore a pair of black high boots today, which complemented her slender figure. Looks more slender legs. Her hair was scattered behind her head, and she hadn't seen it for a while, and she didn't know when she dyed her black hair into yellow hair, and her beautiful face with a very Chinese style added a lot of foreign air because of her yellow hair, and her complexion looked fairer against the backdrop of her yellow hair.

Chen Meiyu smiled slightly, "Let's go." Take you inside and feel it. ”

After speaking, she went to the door first, Lin Dong followed behind her, and then also entered the door.

After Lin Dong entered the door, he knew that the Fengqiao Inn was a real inn, just as he saw on TV, the shopkeeper in a robe and coat stood behind the counter, wearing a square hat, fiddling with abacus beads in his hand, and when he saw someone entering the door, he said with a smile: "Please come in the guest officer." ”

The inn is full of ancient style. The decoration is simple, making people feel like they are back in ancient times, Lin Dong couldn't help but be curious, and looked around a few times. There are several tables of the Eight Immortals in the lobby, no chairs, only long stools, a few lanterns hanging on the roof, and an oil lamp on each table. The chopsticks are placed on the table, and several pairs of bamboo chopsticks are inserted diagonally in it.

Chen Meiyu had already found a table and sat down, and the table was located in the corner. From her vantage point, she could see the entirety of the first floor of the inn.

Lin Dong sat down, his mouth full of surprise. "Mr. Chen, if you hadn't invited me here, I still didn't know that there was such a good place in this bustling city, which made me feel like I had traveled through in a trance." …,

At this time, the shopkeeper with a white towel on his shoulder walked over and asked politely, "What do you two want?" ”

Lin Dong looked at Chen Meiyu, "Mr. Chen, you seem to be familiar with this place, you can order it, I'll treat you." ”

Chen Meiyu blurted out the names of a few dishes, Lin Dong listened to it interestingly on the other side, the names of the dishes in this store are actually so elegant and chic, and there are many dish names that quote classics and have great origins.

The shopkeeper wrote down the name of the dish, turned around and shouted at the back kitchen, "Table No. 1 West Lake vinegar fish, hibiscus deer tail, pearl tofu, and jade white fungus each one-" The voice dragged on for a long time.

Chen Meiyu said: "Mr. Lin, what do you think of this place?" ”

Lin Dong said: "I like it very much. ”

Chen Meiyu pulled her hair together, smiling like a flower, although she was over 30 years old, but the years have not left the slightest mark on her face, her skin is smooth and delicate, radiant, and the unique charm of a mature woman makes her more attractive.

"You are very pointed, everything here is different from the outside, there is nothing modern, even the back kitchen is artificially fired, and the antique flavor is completely preserved. I liked it once I came here, and then I came here often, either for tea, or for dinner, or alone, or with a friend or two, and all the friends I brought here were friends who wanted to get along with each other. ”

How could Lin Dong not hear the meaning of Chen Meiyu's words, Chen Meiyu actually regarded him as a close friend who was willing to get along with each other, but he was not sure whether what she said was true or false. Chen Meiyu is too powerful, with Zuo Yonggui's experience, Lin Dong can't get along with her completely defenseless. But a beautiful woman has a charm, even if she is clearly telling a lie, she will take the initiative to find thousands of excuses to excuse her, to make herself believe that what she says is the truth.

Lin Dong asked himself if his concentration was not bad, but in front of Chen Meiyu, he was obviously not good enough, like ordinary men, he wanted to put aside the matter between her and Zuo Yonggui, Chen Meiyu had not done anything to be sorry for him after all, and he should treat others with sincerity.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for looking up to me so much." Lin Dong said with a smile.

Chen Meiyu smiled, "If you really want to thank me, don't talk to me about mundane things in this room today, okay?" ”

Chen Meiyu's eyes were full of expectation, and her begging tone made her bones crisp, Lin Dong nodded involuntarily, and suddenly felt a pang in her heart, before she talked about business, the rhythm was completely mastered by the other party, Chen Meiyu This woman is really powerful.

"Yesterday your company changed its name, I have important things to do, and I can't leave, but I asked someone to send a flower basket to congratulate. Mr. Lin, you won't blame me for not going in person, right? Chen Meiyu said.

Lin Dong smiled, "I saw the flower basket, since you have important things, it's normal not to come, if you delay your big event for my little thing, then I don't want to go." ”

After eating dinner for more than two hours, Chen Meiyu kept causing topics, and Lin Dong rarely took the initiative to speak, but Lin Dong was tired of coping, plus he promised not to talk about mundane things before, so until he finished dinner, Lin Dong couldn't talk to Chen Meiyu about what Zuo Yonggui asked him to do.

Removing the plate, Chen Meiyu asked for a pot of Xinyang Maojian and drank tea with Lin Dong by the lamp.

"What I ate just now was a little greasy, and it is best to drink some tea to clear my stomach." Chen Meiyu said with a smile.

Lin Dong didn't understand the tea tasting, but sitting opposite was a big beauty like Chen Meiyu, even if he drank boiled water, as long as the beauty didn't leave, he was willing to sit down with him.

After drinking half of the pot of tea, Chen Meiyu saw that Lin Dong was not interested, and said, "Mr. Lin, let's settle the bill and leave." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll go to settle the bill." He walked to the counter and asked, "How much is the shopkeeper?" ”…,

The old shopkeeper quickly dialed the abacus beads and said, "Guest officer, a total of three thousand dollars." ”

He saw that Lin Dong was confused, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, in fact, it is three thousand yuan." He pointed to the wooden sign on the counter, which had many instructions about the difference between the inside and the outside.

Lin Dong said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you scared me out of a cold sweat, and I ate all the food, if you ask me to really get thousands of copper coins to come over, I can't do it." ”

Lin Dong quickly finished the money and walked out of the Fengqiao Inn with Chen Meiyu. When he came, he thought that Fengqiao Inn was a hotel, but it seemed that he wanted to be crooked, and Chen Meiyu didn't have the slightest intention of having an affair with him.

Chen Meiyu stopped and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lin, do you know that there is a must-go place here?" ”

Lin Dong was puzzled and asked with a smile: "In addition to the Fengqiao Inn, is there anything else that is particularly interesting?" ”

Chen Meiyu said: "It's still related to Fengqiao, you guess, I think you should be able to guess." ”

Lin Dong smiled slightly, pondered in his heart, and didn't guess it after a while, he shook his head, "I'm very unfamiliar with the ancient city in the city, Mr. Chen, don't hang my appetite, tell me quickly." ”

Chen Meiyu suddenly chanted a poem, "The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping." Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship. ”

Lin Dong suddenly realized, and secretly sighed that he was stupid, "Ah, Fengqiao Night Park, Hanshan Temple is nearby." ”

Chen Meiyu nodded and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested in accompanying me to Fengqiao at night?" ”

Lin Dong smiled: "When I first went to college, I came with my classmates, and I spent twenty yuan to buy tickets, which was distressing." Now that I'm here today, I also have the idea of revisiting the old place. ”

Chen Meiyu said: "It's night now, Hanshan Temple can't enter, we can only go to the dock to take the painting boat to travel the waterway that the great poet Zhang Ji walked." ”

Lin Dong said: "Okay, that's what I mean. ”

The two of them walked out of Fuguifang and turned a corner. The ancient city is staggered, and Lin Dong can't touch the north and south at all, but fortunately, Chen Meiyu is very familiar with this area, and took him through the streets and alleys, and arrived at the dock after a while.

Most of the people who came to take the cruise ship at night were couples, and Lin Dong looked around, and the people lining up in front of them were all children in their teens and twenties, holding hands and snuggling together intimately, and at a glance they knew that they were in love.
