Chapter 12: Man Is Not as Good as Heaven [159/460]
Jiangnan is rich in the world, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Jinling and other large cities are continuous, in addition to the long-standing inheritance of the gate valve family, the rich and rival the rich are not a few. As a barrier in the south of the Yangtze River, although Huainan is not as good as Hangzhou and other first-tier cities, it is not far behind.
Suzhou City is like a barbarian sitting on the side of the road eating meat, showing the roughness and heroism of the northwest wilderness everywhere, while Chang'an is solemn and atmospheric, one hundred and eight squares are orderly and meticulous, and it is another scene when it arrives in the south of the Yangtze River.
Huainan City does not have the messy and rough buildings in the northwest, nor is it as rigid and solemn as Chang'an City. The small bridges and flowing water, the stone bridges and pavilions, there are almost no duplicates along the way, but in the subtleties, they reveal the long-standing heritage and the grace of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
Scholars and ladies can be seen everywhere on the long street, and there are obviously fewer rivers and lakes carrying knives and guns than in other places, and the rivers on the street sometimes float past small painting boats, and there are literati and sorcerers standing on the bow of the boat, and the words are full of scholars.
In the early morning, the most beautiful scenery is along the mountain street.
Master Zhongli and apprentice stood in the alley on the side of the street, with a carriage beside him.
One is the nomination of the former Bakui, and the other is the current Bakui, even if he is in the Jiangnan water town famous for his beauty, he still exudes a glamorous temperament, like two delicate flowers hidden in the deep alley.
Zhongli Jiujiu did not pretend to be a fairy in front of his apprentices, sat on the edge of the carriage, and gave serious guidance:
ββ¦β¦ Fang Cai Xu Buling has already left Xiaojiazhuang, it should be out to play, and it is estimated that he will come to Yanshan Street. When the people come, I'll give you a gesture to let the carriage out, and you can stop the carriage again. Remember, if you don't leave your name and turn around, Xu Buling will definitely stop you if he finds out, and then you turn around to say hello to him, don't take the initiative too much, the more active you are, the more uncommon men are......"
Zhongli Chuchu leaned against the wall, frowned and thought for a while: "Master, I just want to make friends with Xu Buling, get these things, if he detects them......"
Zhongli Jiujiu sighed: "Chu Chu, I'm not asking you to harm people. You ran to the dock and 'met Xu Buling', a fool can know that you are waiting for him deliberately, and you have to pay attention to the method of dealing with people, you directly dig out your heart, aren't you waiting for someone to cheat......"
Zhongli Chuchu talks about how to behave in the world, and he is naturally not as good as a master who is like a human spirit. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded slightly:
"I'll try it......"
"Don't try, believe in yourself, be generous, just treat him like an ordinary man......"
"I don't like dealing with normal men......"
"Then treat him as a woman, and the higher you think of him, the lower you are. Look at Zhu Manzhi, he looks stupid, but he is actually clever and puts himself in the position of Xu Buling's equal. Do you think that Xu Buling is unattainable, how can you be friends with others? β
"I don't think he's unattainable, it's just very special......"
"Alas......"
Zhongli Jiujiu had nothing to say, and waved his hand: "Go and wait, leave the rest to me." β
Zhongli Chuchu thought about it, but did not refuse, turned around and walked to the second floor of the restaurant and waited quietly.
About half an hour later, the little sparrow flew back and landed on the carriage and chirped.
Zhongli Jiujiu knew that someone was coming, raised his hand to make a gesture to his apprentice, jumped down from the carriage, and whipped the horse's buttocks.
"Shhhh
In an instant, the fiery horse rushed out of the alley with the empty cart and galloped along the street, scattering the frightened pedestrians in all directions.
"Ahh
"Bewareβ"
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out on the second floor of the restaurant on the street, wearing a red gauze skirt, slender and tall, jumped in the air, and landed on the galloping carriage cleanly, raised his hand to pick up the reins and pulled hard, and stopped the frightened horse.
The crowd on the street was shocked, and many scholars showed a look of worship and exclaimed:
"Good handsome kung fu ......"
"The girl is amazing......"
Zhongli Chuchu followed his master's instructions, didn't look at the surrounding crowd at all, and jumped out of the carriage in a dashing manner, preparing to hide into the crowd and leave.
As the master expected, a familiar voice came from behind, with a little surprise:
"Miss Zhongli?"
Zhongli Chuchu's green eyes showed a bit of surprise, and he was busy making a flat look, and when he turned around, he saw the back of the crowd, Zhu Manzhi and Ning Qingye were happy, and there was a quiet girl next to her, who was looking at her with adoration in her eyes.
οΌοΌ
What about Xu Buling?
Zhongli Chuchu's expression froze......
-------
Earlier, Xu Buling took the three girls into the bustling Huainan City and marched to the most beautiful mountain street.
Looking at the completely different customs and customs, compared with the rivers and lakes that are happy on the surface but actually hide dirt and dirt, Xu Buling still feels that this kind of place is more suitable for people to stay.
Song Yufu is a scholar, and she obviously likes the environment in the south of the Yangtze River, and occasionally hears crooked poems discussed by scholars on the street, and comments softly:
"Xu Shizi, that's also a poem, even the genius of Chang'an can't compare. I think the poems you wrote are called poems......"
Xu Buling was a little helpless about this: "Don't mention the poems, I said that I didn't write them." β
"It's what you wrote, it's all out of Chang'an City, what else do you pretend to ......?"
ββ¦β¦β
The two were talking and laughing in the back, Zhu Manzhi glanced back from time to time, and then frowned and thought seriously, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ning Qingye's personality dictated that he was not very interested in the scenery on the street, and when he saw Manzhi's strange expression, he asked softly:
"Manzhi, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Manzhi secretly made a shushing gesture, and then snorted sullenly, lowering his head and kicking the pebbles on the street.
Ning Qingye was a little puzzled, looked at Man Zhi, and then looked at the two people who were talking about Sheng Huan behind him, and finally understood that Man Zhi was eating jealousy. I couldn't help but be a little amused by this, and shook my head slightly.
The three of them walked around like this, and when they arrived near Yanshan Street, they suddenly heard a shout from the side of the street:
"Xu Buling! No order! Here......"
Yanshan Street is the most prosperous place in Huainan City, every inch of land and gold is similar to Chang'an's Zhuangyuan Street, the street is full of gentry, and there is no lack of various occasions to burn silver.
Xu Buling frowned slightly, turned his head to look, but saw a large Qinglou on the third floor of the street, Xiao Ting Xiao eldest son standing at the window, holding a folding fan and shaking it vigorously, and there were a few richly dressed sons and daughters next to him. One of them has a good temperament, looking at his look and posture, it seems that his position is no less than Xiao Ting, and he doesn't know which family's son.
Ning Qingye saw this scene, snorted lightly, pulled Zhu Manzhi and left, and turned around and said:
"Miss Song, let's go first."
Song Yufu was also a little embarrassed, thought about it, and said reasonably: "Xu Shizi, Xiao Ting invites you over, you are walking around in Huainan, this kind of occasion is inevitable, I will go shopping with Miss Ning." β
Xu Buling is definitely not interested in visiting the Qinglou, but the Qinglou is an elegant place in this world, a place for socializing and socializing, and there is nothing wrong with inviting people, but it is a manifestation of closeness.
Moreover, Xiao Ting shouted directly on the street to do things, just ignored it and left, tomorrow the whole city will definitely know that he disdains the Xiao family's son-in-law.
This is not Chang'an and Suzhou, Xiao's family is so unsophisticated, and there is no need to mention relatives.
Xu Buling was a little helpless, and he didn't want to ignore Xiao Ting, so he apologized to the three beauties, turned around and walked to the Qinglou where Xiao Ting was......
