Chapter 45: Fate is predestined
Jiang Nuan slipped out of the side door lightly, and exhaled deeply as soon as he jumped out of the threshold. It's still in an alley, and you have to turn out to get to the street.
Jiang Nuan took out the map drawn by Yue'er, studied it carefully, and then walked outside.
Huafu is located outside the Yongqi Gate near Suzhou, next to the main street.
Jiang Nuan walked along Changle Street for a while, and saw the light and shadow flickering in front of him, and there were more and more people.
In front is the landmark building of Suzhou ancient pagoda, behind the tower is Wanzong Temple, there is Luoshui River on the side of the surrounding, the winding water flows, the lights and shadows are confused.
Suddenly, the drooping little baby with the fish and dragon lanterns next to him laughed and jumped by, and the crowd rubbed shoulders and made noise.
Jiang Nuan bought a bunch of sugar gourds and held them in his hand, slowly moving forward as the crowd moved.
The sugar hanging on the outside of the sugar gourd is greasy, but the sour dates inside are sour, making people frown.
At this time, there was the sound of drums in front, and there was a burst of excitement in the crowd, and everyone looked at it, Jiang Nuan also stood on tiptoe, and the sugar gourd in his hand was accidentally squeezed out, and it happened to fall on the placket of the person in front.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jiang Nuan hurriedly slapped off the sugar gourd that was stuck to the man's body, and the sticky and thick sugar hung on his clothes, and he couldn't shoot it off with his hands.
Tsk, but the best snow satin, she didn't bring a few dollars when she came out today, how can this be good, what to pay for others.
"Out of the way."
"Yes...... I...... I don't have much money with me, it's just so much, if it's not enough, I'll send it back to you if it's not enough. Jiang Nuan hurriedly took out the silver in his purse and handed it to the man.
"Your little money is not enough to buy a plate buckle for our master." The sound that comes out of the fight seriously affects the harmony!
"Genshu!" Look, get reprimanded!
"Out of the way, you didn't mean to." The mellow voice of Su Mian sounded above Jiang Nuan's head, gentle as a pool of spring water.
At this time, Jiang Nuan raised his head and looked at Su Mian's warm and jade-like eyes, which were as deep as a pool, and his dark eyes had a soft halo. At this glance, just one glance, Jiang Nuan was intoxicated.
"What happened to you, our lord said that you don't need to compensate, and you can't afford to pay for your appearance. Let's go! The young Su Mian, who was called Yuanshu, pouted and looked at Jiang Nuan.
Wen Run, who was tall and slender, smiled slightly, dressed in white like snow, turned around and disappeared in the crowd.
Jiang Nuan was stunned for a while before he was squeezed back to his senses by the crowd, stood on tiptoe and looked for Su Mian's figure again, but he couldn't see it anymore, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, how could Su Mian appear here?
Just in front of him, someone shouted: "Come on, Yang Mansion has a lantern riddle, and those who guess it will have a prize!" ”
I heard that there was a prize, and the crowd boiled again, Yang Mansion, Yang Jiani and their family? There is such an interest in lantern riddles, didn't Yang Jiani go to Huafu today? Since the person who knows her is not there, let's go and join in the fun!
At this time, the front of the Yang Mansion was crowded with people, and there were dense rows of lanterns hanging on the left and right, with scarlet like fire, orange and yellow like orange, emerald green like blue, it was really brilliant and colorful. The bag with the lantern riddle was hung under the lamp, everyone reached out to get it, Jiang Nuan jumped up and finally grabbed one.
"Spring is gone, the flowers are silent, type."
What is the word? Jiang Nuan tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, and realized that he had really overestimated his IQ in the past.
"The flowers are floating in the wind, Xie Mu is gone, isn't it the spring day, and the flowers fall without a word?" I only heard someone next to me whispering.
Jiang Nuan was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and said in surprise: "Su Mian is you!" ”
Su Mian, who was dressed in white, stood aside with a smile, looking at the note with the riddle in her hand with warm and clear eyebrows.
"Ah Nuan, have you guessed?"
Jiang Nuan thought for a while: "The flowers are floating in the wind, Xie Mu is gone, oh, I know, it's a pavilion!" ”
Su Mian smiled and nodded: "Why don't you go and claim the reward?" ”
Jiang Nuan glanced at him: "Su Mian, wait, I'll come over right away." ”
Su Mian nodded, saw Jiang Nuan struggling to squeeze into the crowd, and ran over happily with a jade-colored lotus lantern.
"For you." Jiang Nuan handed the lamp to Su Mian.
Su Mian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Give it to me?" Do I want it for? ”
"The answer is what you guessed first, and this should be yours."
"I didn't say the answer, Ah Nuan guessed it herself, didn't you?"
Jiang Nuan shook his head: "But without your suggestion, I think on my own, I'm afraid I won't be able to guess it until tomorrow." And I soiled your clothes just now, so I'll give you an apology. ”
Su Mian smiled: "That's so hard to be gracious!" However, such lanterns are carried by the girls and ladies, and it is not appropriate for me to hold them in my hand, so it is better for me to collect them for me. ”
Jiang Nuan thought about it, she raised her head and looked left and right, only to see a forest of wine shops by the Luoshui River, so she said, "Then shall I invite you to drink?" ”
Su Mian was a little surprised: "Ah Nuan can drink?" ”
"Hehe, what's wrong with drinking, isn't it just to see who can bear it?" Jiang Nuan grinned, and walked with Su Mian through the hustle and bustle of the crowd towards the wine shop.
Jiang Nuan's steps were brisk, holding a jade-colored lotus lamp in his hand and swaying, and the corners of her jade-colored skirt fluttered melodiously.
Jiang Nuan blushed and said, "What is your servant called Yuanshu?" Got separated? ”
"It's rare to be lively tonight, I thought he was making a noise on the side, so I asked him to go back first." Su Mian smiled.
Jiang Nuan and Su Mian entered a winery called Bang Chun, and Xiao Er led them directly to the second floor and climbed the stairs, but they saw that the light and shadow on the Luoshui River were permeated, flickering little by little, and it was beautiful.
"What's the most famous wine in your house?"
Xiao Er glanced at Jiang Nuan: "There is a wine in our store called 'Encounter', which is mellow in the entrance and fragrant and sweet, but the stamina is very large, I wonder if Miss wants to taste it?" ”
Jiang Nuan smiled: "Encounter? I want to try the name alone, and I want two pots and two plates of side dishes to accompany the wine. Xiao Er should go down, and after a while, the wine and food will be served.
Jiang Nuan took a sip and praised: "I can't imagine that there is such a delicious wine in such a small wine shop!" “
Su Mian said: "Bang Chun is the name of this shop, and it is the name of the proprietress in the store. It is said that the Bangchun girl's family has been making wine for generations, and she heard that there is a spring in the deep mountains that is particularly sweet and clear, which is very suitable for winemaking, so she went to the mountains alone to get a clear spring. She didn't want to be bitten by a poisonous snake on the way back, but fortunately, a young man who lived in seclusion in the mountains helped her suck the poison juice and saved her back. After recovering from the injury, Bang Chun used the mellow fragrance of the wine brewed by the clear spring, and the fragrance floated for ten miles, so he took the wine up the mountain to thank the son. I don't want that son, but he died of poisoning when he helped Bang Chun take poison. Therefore, Bang Chun named this wine 'Encounter' to commemorate the son, and vowed not to marry for life. ”
"This 'encounter' is really hard-won!" Jiang Nuan sighed.
Su Mian smiled: "Naturally, but this is just a legend, does anyone know if it's true or not?" Anyway, I haven't seen Bangchun girl a few times here, but this 'encounter' is indeed the best in wine. ”
Jiang Nuan thought thoughtfully: "Little second brother, come over for a moment." ”
"Here, what else do you need?"
"Is your boss lady's name Bang Chun?" Jiang Nuan asked.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Yes! ”
"And she's still in the store?"
"Didn't you see it when you went upstairs just now?"
Jiang Nuan was overjoyed: "Can you please come up and see Miss Bangchun?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned: "Girl? If the guest officer wants to see our boss, I'll call him, but ......"
"But what?"
The shopkeeper smiled: "I'm afraid that you will be disappointed." With that, the shopkeeper ran downstairs with a bang, leaving Jiang Nuan and Su Mian looking at each other.
After a while, he only felt some slight shaking of the floor, and Jiang Nuan was startled: "What, is there an earthquake?" ”
"Earthquake?" Su Mian looked at Jiang Nuan and didn't understand what she meant.
"Two guest officers, I don't know what's the matter with Bang Chun?" I felt that the floor shook even more, and a middle-aged woman's loud voice floated over.
Jiang Nuan looked back and broke out in a cold sweat: "You...... You're Bangchun?! ”
This is too unworthy of the name, such a beautiful story, even if the imaginary Bang Chun is not a flower and a moon, it should be a beautiful woman! Look at the person in front of you, more than 1.7 meters tall, weighing more than 200 pounds, and thin spots on her round face.
There is also a big black mole on the corner of his mouth, wearing flowers and branches, and wearing a few colored beaded hairpins. The tremor of the floor just now turned out to be not an earthquake, but a spring to help the wind, which is really unacceptable!!
Bang Chun smiled a little embarrassedly: "I am the proprietress here Bang Chun." ”
"Uh......" Jiang Nuan was speechless.
It's really ideal and plump, and the reality is very skinny! No, it should be that the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is terrifying! Su Mian looked at Jiang Nuan's eyes that were about to fall out, and said with a smile: "This girl heard the story of Miss Bangchun, so I want to see you, so I'm sorry!" ”
Bang Chun was even more embarrassed: "Yo, I'm sorry, doing business, there must always be some gimmicks, there is a story or something, isn't it more attractive?" Guest, do you say you are paying attention? Besides, my 'encounter' didn't disappoint you, did it? ”
It turns out that people are advertising, and they are still playing the cultural card!
Jiang Nuan smiled: "This wine is really delicious, and the story is also very good." ”
Bang Chun smiled so much that the fat on his face trembled: "It's good that the girl likes to drink, although my story is fake, but the wine is good, but it's true, and because of drinking my 'encounter', there are many young masters and young ladies who have married, I won't lie!" ”
"Hostess, there's a guest looking for you over there!" Xiao Er shouted, Bang Chun smiled and walked away, the floor swayed, and it took a while to calm down.
Jiang Nuan sighed and took a sip of the wine.
