It had just rained, and there seemed to be a fresh smell in the air. Although the road was muddy, fortunately, Zhou Xing didn't have to ride a horse, and sitting in the carriage with Zhu Gaoxu was fine.

About two hours after leaving the capital, walking in a forest, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said: "Stop, stop, I want to explain." ”

The carriage door opened, and a wave of moisture hit, and it was not yet time for lunch, and although the sun hung overhead, it had little deterrent effect. I think it will take at least two hours for it to take place.

Taking advantage of Zhu Gaoxu's efforts to pee, Zhou Xing also got out of the car and stood on the wheel, able to see far away.

"What is this place?" Zhou Xing asked.

A master named Qiao Mo replied, "The front is Jiangning Mansion." ”

"Jiangning Mansion?" Zhou Xing's mind moved, did this go to Cao Xueqin's house? Jiangning Weaving House.

Zhou Xing asked, "Where is the Ning Mansion?" ”

Qiao Mo said: "Ning Guofu is far away, we have to continue to go south, we are walking along the river, we are going to the southwest." If you go to Ningguofu, you have to take a boat from the Qinhuai River, go due south, and then go to the end of the Rouge River at the fork, cross Shijiu Lake, Danyang Lake, and arrive at Huangchi Town, even if you have entered the boundary of Ningguofu. ”

Listening to these terms, Zhou Xing suddenly felt a little dizzy, this guy has his own navigation system, right, can you remember this?

Zhu Gaoxu came back from a small relief, and just when he heard Zhou Xing asking for directions, he said strangely: "What are you asking Ning Guofu to do?" ”

Zhou Xing diverted the topic and said, "It's nothing, are we going to take a boat later?" ”

He didn't dare to say the story that Jiangning Mansion and Ning Guofu had to tell, but the story happened in the Qing Dynasty! In this Ming Dynasty, tell a story of the Qing Dynasty, and that minute is a big crime for the nine clans.

What the? I have a great Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, and you say that you will burp after two hundred years? How dare you curse the fortunes of the country? Chopped off......

"Originally, we could take a boat directly from the Qinhuai River and turn south, but His Royal Highness King Yan said, let us go out of the city by carriage, it has rained heavily for several days, and the river has swelled, so it is not suitable for boating." Jomo said fifteen-ten. These four people are all loyal masters chosen by Zhu Di, and they will never hide it from Zhu Gaoxu.

At this moment, the voice of Si Suo Suo came from the woods, and Qiao Mo looked terrified, drew his saber, and said, "Be on guard." ”

The four Ouchi masters surrounded Zhou Xing and Zhu Gaoxu.

"Second Young Master, don't panic, we will definitely protect Second Young Master." Jomo said.

Zhou Xing suddenly rolled his eyes, if you feel emotional, you will protect the second young master of your family, and you will leave me alone, right?

After a while, the enemy did not appear, and the sound of rustling was gone. Zhou Xing looked at it, but he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's just a snake." ”

Hearing Zhou Xing say this, Qiao Mo and the others suddenly felt puzzled, and after a closer look, they did not look like someone else, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly smiled: "Haha, this is called scaring the grass and scaring the snake." ”

Zhou Xing said: "This is called suspicious and suspicious. He picked up a dead branch from the ground, threw it into the distance, and said, "This is called beating the grass and startling the snake." ”

It turned out to be a false alarm, Qiao Mo said: "Ershao, let's speed up, let's go to Jiangning to rest first and have lunch." ”

At that moment, the group quickened their pace and finally arrived in Jiangning at noon.

Because it was a micro-service patrol, everyone disguised themselves as ordinary rich young masters, and no one recognized that this was Zhu Gaoxu when they entered the city.

Although it is close to the capital, but the prosperity is far away, into the city, I found that there are few pedestrians on this street, and there are occasionally a few shouts, and it can't become the climate.

"Why are there so few people here? It stands to reason that Jiangning Mansion shouldn't be. Zhou Xing saw that the scene of Jiangning Mansion was very different from the one depicted in Dream of Red Mansions, and he immediately felt puzzled.

It's just that he forgot that now it is the Ming Dynasty, and if Jiangning Weaving Mansion wants to prosper, it will take more than two hundred years. At that time, there were looms everywhere, and every household was engaged in weaving, and Jiangning Mansion could flourish.

Speaking of which, it has only been raining for so long, and everyone has something to do, who will wander around the streets.

"Gu Gu ......" has eaten two steamed buns since he went out in the morning, and he is still hungry.

Zhou Xing touched his belly and said, "Young Master, should we find a place to have lunch first?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu happened to be hungry, so he said, "Then let's eat." ”

This Jiangning is not as good as the capital, coupled with the heavy rain for several days, after looking for a long time, most of the inns actually did not open, and finally in a small alley on the edge of the city, I found a small farmhouse restaurant that looked very simple, the low adobe house and the surrounding environment looked incompatible, the door was not even paved with stone slabs, and the ground soaked in rain looked muddy.

The store is also kind of care, and got a few wooden planks to pad the feet, so be careful not to stain the shoes. Zhou Xing said: "It seems that our lunch today can only be solved here." ”

"Here?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned, his tone full of disbelief. Apparently the environment was much different from what he had idealized.

Zhou Xing didn't care, as long as he could eat, he said: "Second young master, don't you know, only this kind of place can make meals that meet local characteristics." Not to mention the rest, in this Jiangning territory, it is impossible to eat more authentic Jiangning cuisine than this one. ”

He gave full play to his ability to fool people, and in a few words, he coaxed Zhu Gaoxu into obedience: "Since this is the case, let's eat here." ”

A few people came in, the inside of this small restaurant was as simple as the outside, there were only three tables of eight immortals in total, and I don't know how many years it was, showing a dark color.

Two of the tables were already full of people, all ordinary people dressed in coarse cloth, sitting crookedly, drinking wine in gray clay bowls, shouting and drinking.

Zhu Gaoxu and the others came in, and the store was magically quiet, and they all looked here, and Zhou Xing was a little depressed.

An old woman came over and said, "Master, what should you eat?" ”

Zhou Xing is not particular about food, as long as he can eat enough: "Get a few exquisite side dishes, and then ask for a pot of bar." Faster. ”

"Okay, you guys sit down for a while, and you'll be fine right away." The old woman brought a pot of tea, and called her man to the back kitchen.

The guests at the other two tables seemed to have been immobilized, and they didn't move, and the sudden silence in the air made Zhou Xing feel a little weird.

Zhu Gaoxu obviously felt it too, and asked Zhou Xing in a low voice, "Why don't they speak?" ”

Zhou Xing looked at the big inner masters standing like four iron towers around him, and said, "I'm afraid it's because, Second Young Master, your shelf is too full, and you look like a big man." ”

"What then?" Zhu Gaoxu asked. He felt that if these people kept staring at him like this, he would not be able to eat this meal.

Zhou Xing said: "Let everyone sit at a table, and then be casual, look at them, which one is not sitting crookedly?" You try too, don't hold your waist up. ”

"Oh, good. Come, come, sit together. As he spoke, he stepped on the bench, leaving a large mud mark.

Zhou Xing was speechless for a moment, this was too deliberate.

However, the effect was obvious, those people saw Zhu Gaoxu and they suddenly became casual, and they immediately laughed, and the sound of fists clinking glasses sounded again.

Zhu Gaoxu was immediately happy, and said to Zhou Xing: "Hey, your method is really good. ”

As she was talking, the old woman served the first dish and said, "Come, this is the freshest Triptobacterium, which is only available on the mountain after the rain, and we picked it back this morning."

Looking at that plate of black things, Zhu Gaoxu's face changed, from childhood to adulthood, which meal did he not eat exquisitely? The black thing in front of him is simply challenging his bottom line.

"Didn't you say you were going to prepare some elaborate meals?" Zhu Gaoxu asked loudly.

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly smiled and said: "Exquisite, exquisite, washed three or four times, clean." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was still about to speak, and Zhou Xing said: "This thunder fungus, that's a good thing, it tastes very good, that is, it can only be eaten by chance in the past few days, if you usually come, you can't enjoy it." ”

"Is that true?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at the black things in the bowl and was skeptical.

Zhou Xing said: "It's true, you taste it first." ”

Triptoilium was one of his favorite dishes before he crossed over, and it only grew in the mountains and forests after thunderstorms in spring and summer.

Zhu Gaoxu hesitantly put a little bit in his mouth, tasted it a little, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious." ”

He shouted and shouted again, which attracted everyone's attention again, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, give them a plate of this for each table, I will treat you." ”

Zhou Xing was embarrassed and said, "Second Young Master, you haven't eaten this thing here, for them, they are tired of eating this thing." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, quickly changed his words, and said, "Then, a big bowl of braised pork will be brought to each table, and I will treat you." ”

The old woman was happy, so she instructed her own man who was still in the back kitchen, "Two more bowls of braised pork." ”

Zhou Xing said: "Second young master, you are too refreshing, a boy of scattered wealth." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said nonchalantly: "What is this little money, it is difficult to buy the master happy." ”

Well, you win, and with money you can do whatever you want.

Zhou Xing said he was quite convinced.

is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and occasionally eating some wild vegetables from this farmhouse makes Zhu Gaoxu have a different experience. Zhou Xing took the opportunity to say: "Second Young Master, along the way, you are touring the mountains and rivers, and by the way, supervising law enforcement, it has to be like today, don't hold your shelf, you put on a shelf like that, although you don't wear the clothes of Yanwangfu, everyone knows that you are not ordinary." ”

"I know, I know, I don't want to put on a shelf, my father said to sit like a clock, stand like a pine, and walk like the wind. How tired. Zhu Gaoxu said impatiently.
