CHAPTER XIII

Xie Shuyao stood in his second brother's room in frustration, looking at his second brother's room helplessly, although the second brother's room was not very messy, but Xie Shuyao really didn't want to clean up the messy things of the second brother. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info felt a headache when he saw that he was going to get these, Xie Shuyao was like a wilted eggplant, and sat on the bed of his second brother Xie Chen.

Xie Shuyao thought of her irresponsible parents, and she had another headache, her mother was supposed to accompany her cousin, but she went to play mahjong, and her father saw that his wife was playing by herself. He found his daughter and was embarrassed to say that he still had classes in the afternoon and couldn't accompany his cousin who had just arrived, so he handed over the task of accompanying his cousin to his daughter Xie Shuyao. also told Xie Shuyao not to worry about the school, saying that he had already called Director Hu and asked for leave for himself. After arranging all this, only Xie Shuyao and her cousin Bai Ruolin were left in this family. Xie Shuyao sighed, other people's parents are so irresponsible, they all blame their daughters, the more I think about it, the more angry Xie Shuyao is, sitting there alone sighing.

Bai Ruolin came to the door and saw her cousin sitting listlessly on the bed, thinking that her cousin didn't want to move here, and she also liked this very cute cousin, so she couldn't bear to see her like this, so she slowly came to Xie Shuyao's side and whispered: "Cousin Shuyao, I actually don't think it's necessary for you to move here to build a room to live, isn't my cousin going to live when he comes back?" I still want to live with such a lovely cousin. As he spoke, he grabbed his lovely cousin's shoulders and affectionately hugged Xie Shuyao in his arms.

Xie Shuyao, who was held in a soft embrace, heard her cousin say this, Xie Shuyao first hid the joy in her heart, while enjoying her cousin's soft and warm embrace, she first pretended to be happy, and then said with a hesitant expression: "Cousin, but I'm afraid my mother will be angry." ”

"Auntie's side, it's up to me, Auntie, she should agree. Cousin, you can live with me! Bai Ruolin comforted Xie Shuyao with a smile and said.

"Really?" Xie Shuyao's eyes dodged, and he said nervously.

"It's okay, let's move your things back now!" Bai Ruolin got up as she spoke, and helped Xie Shuyao move her things back next door.

Xie Shuyao saw the back of her cousin holding a bed and leaving, her eyes squinted and smiled, and the excitement and joy in her heart naturally self-evident, living with a beautiful woman is a very pleasant thing after all, although Xie Shuyao can't do something now, but Xie Shuyao still retains a lot of habits in her previous life, and she still has no resistance to beauties.

The two quickly sorted out their things, Xie Shuyao lay comfortably on the bed, and asked lazily to the cousin lying on the other side, "Cousin, you came by train from Fengtian, don't you need to take a break?" ”

The beautiful woman lying on the other end of the bed said weakly: "I'm not tired, I slept on the train last night." ”

"How much does that sleeping bunk cost?" Xie Shuyao took the conversation curiously and asked, because Xie Shuyao had to pay eleven or twelve yuan for a second-class seat from Pukou in Nanjing to Tianjin, which was still half the price of a student ticket.

"Thirty-two silver dollars." Bai Ruolin said casually.

After Xie Shuyao listened, she was stunned and didn't say anything, but kept complaining in her heart that it was so expensive, even in the best restaurant in Beiping, the money could be enough to eat a rather luxurious meal. Xie Shuyao's eyes quickly turned, and then deliberately seduced and said: "Cousin, I don't have to go to class in the afternoon anyway, my old Xie also asked me to take you out to get familiar with Beiping, just so let's go out for a spin, how about going to the flyover?" ”

"Flyover? What's that for? Bai Ruolin lay on the bed and tilted her head to look at her cousin Xie Shuyao lying on the other end of the bed and asked.

Xie Shuyao also lay on the bed, tilted his head and looked at Bai Ruolin and replied excitedly: "Tianqiao, that is a good place for people from the south to the north to gather for people who walk the rivers and lakes. ”

Saying that, Xie Shuyao sat up, dancing and describing the lively scene of the overpass affectionately, Bai Ruolin was also attracted by the picture described by Xie Shuyao, and also sat up, listening to Xie Shuyao's excited introduction with a curious face.

"But I'll tell you, what kind of chest broken boulders, and, and, uh - anyway, there are a lot of artists out there." Xie Shuyao wanted to say more, but she couldn't think of it all of a sudden, and said a little speechlessly.

Bai Ruolin later saw that her cousin was speechless, and was amused: "Okay, let's go to the overpass you said cousin said." ”

Xie Shuyao ignored her previous embarrassment, and immediately wrote a note and left it on her desk.

The two of them immediately got up and went to the overpass, the overpass is in the south of Beiping City, Xie Shuyao told his cousin Bai Ruolin about the history of the overpass on the road, this overpass was originally a bridge between the Temple of Heaven and the Xiannong Altar, just because it was a bridge that the Son of Heaven must pass when he went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the sky, it was called the bridge to the sky, so it was later called the overpass, and the small river under the bridge was called Longxugou, and later it extended to Zhengyangmen Street near the overpass. The bridge became famous because after the Qing army entered the customs, the inner city did not allow the Han people to live, so the Han people were expelled from the inner city to the outside of the city, and those Han people had nowhere to go so they settled in the south of the city, and slowly the business circle in the south of the city developed, because the economy and culture of the Han people were all transferred to the outer city, so the entertainment places in the outer city were naturally much more than in the inner city. During the Qing Dynasty, many of the gentlemen who lived in the inner city would go to the Han area of the outer city to eat, drink and have fun. The most lively area in the Han area is this Tianqiao area, so Tianqiao is a must-visit place. At this time, as Xie Shuyao said, most of those Jianghu artists make a living here, and all strange people and strange things can be seen here.

After reversing the tram twice, Xie Shuyao and Bai Ruolin took the tram to get off near the intersection of Zhengyangmen (Qianmen) Street and Xizhu Shikou Street, and it took almost an hour on the road, in the past two years in Beiping, Xie Shuyao actually rarely came to the overpass, after all, it was still very inconvenient to come to this overpass once, Xie Shuyao looked at the watch on his left wrist, it was already two o'clock, and he looked back at the big clock on the railway station at the front door behind him. I found that the time of the clock calibration on the train station building a few months ago has not deviated too much from now.

All the way down Qianmen Street, there are concrete roads with tram tracks, and there are black old cars, rickshaw drivers, and occasionally crowded trams with the occasional clang. There are various shops on both sides, and it is very lively and prosperous. Not in the slightest way to some of the cities of later generations.

"Huh? Cousin Shu Yao, isn't this the Zhengyangmen train station when I arrived in the morning? Now it's back again, it turns out that Cousin Shu Yao said that the flyover is here! Bai Ruolin was surprised to find that she had returned to the vicinity of the train station where she got off in the morning, and smiled with a little surprise.

Xie Shuyao smiled a little embarrassedly, brought the other people back, immediately changed the topic, pointed to the train station and said, "Isn't this train station very magnificent?" The two times that the prime minister (Sun Yat-sen) came to Kyoto was to get off the train here. ”

"Well, it's magnificent. Bigger than the train station in Mukden. Bai Ruolin nodded in response.

"Cousin, let's go over there!" As he spoke, he took Bai Ruolin's arm and walked towards a lively crowd in front of a somewhat remote teahouse not far away.

Approaching the crowd, I only heard someone in the crowd laughing and talking about Private Huang or something, I don't know what he was doing. Xie Shuyao, who pulled her cousin over, saw a tall figure dressed in an old-fashioned style, a black satin melon skin hat, a red bump tied on it, and a yellow satin horse coat, inside was a blue robe, and a purple shoulder was also set on the outside of the horse coat, and a pair of cyan cloth shoes were on his feet. He had a shiny gourd pinned to his waist, a string of fragrant wood prayer beads around his neck, and an eyebrow-level whistle stick in his hand.

Because there were too many people, Xie Shuyao didn't see his face clearly, but he saw the whistle stick in his hand slamming on the ground, and in the noisy noise, the sound sounded like thunder on the street: "'Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, the morning is in the morning, the cold comes and goes, the autumn harvest is hidden in winter, the leap is more than the age, and the law is the ...... of the sun'"

Xie Shuyao naturally memorized the thousand-character text, but listening to the thunderous recitation, he really felt novel, and he was enjoying it. Suddenly, Bai Ruolin whispered in Xie Shuyao's ear: "Cousin, what is he doing here?" ”

"I don't know." Xie Shuyao didn't understand what this was for, so she had to spread her hands.

"Then let's go, let's go over there." Xie Shuyao saw her cousin pointing to the candy painting on the side of the street and said.

Just when Xie Shuyao nodded in agreement and was about to leave with her cousin Bai Ruolin, she heard that the person in the crowd suddenly poked the whistle stick of his finger on the ground again, making a dull sound......
