Chapter 146: The Ancient City of Dali
Su Mengyuan and I walked into the ancient city of Dali with the flow of people, strolling on the wide bluestone pavement, the crowd was bustling, the streets were lined with antique buildings, some of them looked very old, and the doors and windows were carved with intricate patterns.
In some places, you can still see gurgling water, which is very clear, and it is said that it flows down from Cangshan Mountain. Su Mengyuan looked around curiously, walked into different shops with a smile, and every time I went in, I had to buy a little handicraft before I came out, and I tried my best to feel the tranquil and long-lasting, simple and heavy sense of historical vicissitudes from everything I saw in front of me, but I was a little disappointed.
Like most ancient cities in China, although the streets are lined with green-tiled houses, shops, and a quaint style, it is shrouded in a strong modern commercial atmosphere.
The shops lined up on the street are full of dazzling shelves, selling all kinds of expensive ethnic handicrafts, and the few things that Su Mengyuan bought alone cost more than 500 yuan. We went back to wandering around the streets, and instantly pretended to be a photographer again, I photographed the travelers coming and going, photographing the mottled ancient buildings, and also photographing the ecstatic Su Mengyuan.....
We went to several flavor restaurants, and there was no shortage of gold, silver and jade schools on the streets, and Yunnan was originally a jade gambling stone holy land, all the way over, we saw a lot of vendors, a lot of jade shops, I teased Su Mengyuan, do you want to play gambling stones again? Who knew that she was angry: "This kind of pit stuff, if I play with it in the future, I am a dog!" ”
Come to think of it, she has been haunted by the last time she gambled on stones in the jade processing shop!
Feeling the ancient city, I thought of Duan Yu in "Dragon Babu", the prince of Dali. I don't know if the ancient country of Dali was so prosperous, after all, I can't travel through time and space, I can only feel a little bit of the charm from the bluestone road under my feet and the old-fashioned houses on both sides of the street.
"Su Mengyuan, do you want to have a drink?" I shouted to her as she walked in front.
"What to drink?"
"The place I just checked in Baidu, the coffee in Foreigner Street."
"Yun Qian, what are you waiting for, let's go quickly!"
Su Mengyuan is obviously more anxious than me, Baidu is indeed a good thing, so that travelers like us who do not belong to the ancient city can also find a place to eat, drink and have fun.
We followed the map to an east-west road called "Foreigner Street".
There are one tea house after another, cafes, craft shops, Chinese restaurants and Western restaurants.... Almost all of the advertisements are written in English, and from time to time you can meet blonde foreigners, who stop and go here, but also form a unique landscape.
Su Mengyuan is a picky person, and we changed several before we could drink coffee. Business at this café is quite good, and you can see several foreigners casually as far as the eye can see.
"You save some money, this time is different from the past, we will go to Lijiang!" I looked at the bag of things next to Su Mengyuan, and felt helpless, if it wasn't for her card being frozen, she would definitely buy more than that.
"Hee-hee, I don't want to.... But I just can't control myself...."
"You think your card can't be swiped, so you can control it."
"You..."
Su Mengyuan put down the coffee cup heavily: "Hmph! Yun Qian, don't you open which pot you don't mention...."
"Gotcha! Then I'll drink my pot..."
Picking up the warm coffee, I drank it down. Then we walked around the ancient city again, and I felt that it was... The night is more lively than white. Su Mengyuan looked at several girlfriend groups, wearing ethnic silk scarves and walking out of the clothing store, his eyes were straight.
And I was miserable, not only to face the chatter of the clothing store owner, but also to act as Su Mengyuan's fitting model.
She put various styles of ethnic style silk scarves in the store.... It took me a long time to toss and finally bought two, a big shawl beach towel, and one hanging around my neck.
I kind of feel that this girl is shopping! It's really too inkblotting, it's too torturous, and it seems that I'm single for a reason.
"Sister Su, just let me go! It's almost time, why don't you buy it, if it goes on like this, I'm going to collapse..."
"Alas... It's boring to go shopping with you boys! Okay, let's go back, and go skiing in Lijiang tomorrow morning, that's exciting! ”
I nodded vigorously, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, I didn't want to be a half-time model in a clothing store anymore.
Su Mengyuan and I went home and returned in the direction of the ancient city gate, and I thought that I would have no bottom when I thought of skiing tomorrow. Although I had never learned to ski, I always had the feeling of longing to be flying on the snow.
I think Su Mengyuan's skiing skills should be pretty good, how could a daring girl who even dare to climb over the high-speed rail fence of more than 2 meters not like this exciting sport?
I picked up Yang Yangyang's call and asked, "Hey, Yangyang, what's wrong with calling me so late?" Well, convenient... I'm in Dali! ”
"Why did you run to Dali?"
"Play with a friend, now in the ancient city!"
"Yun Qian, have a business with you, who do you guess I met at the Soho bar tonight?" Yang Yangyang sold Guanzi.
"Yangyang, don't talk nonsense, hurry, I don't have time to play with you, guess me."
There was a little silence on the other end of the phone, and Yang Yang said: "I met Xia Qing, Xia Qing has returned to China!" ”
I was slightly stunned, looked at Su Mengyuan on the side, and replied: "People have hands and feet, and they will return to China when they return to China, what's so strange about this, the plane is very fast now." ”
The audition for the show will start immediately, and it is normal for Xia Qing to come back.
I said that, but my heart was somewhat touched. If it was before, I would like to... Gao Xin must have jumped up after hearing the news of Qing's return to China, eager to see her immediately, and even she would tell me that she was back as soon as possible.
Now, I really don't want to receive the slightest message of summer love.
"Hey, Yun Qian, don't blame me for being too talkative, I think it's a pity that you and Xia Qing broke up before they got together! And tonight, the piano band is performing at the Soho bar, Han Yishen is also there, you and they are together, but I always feel that Xia Qing doesn't look so happy... Could it be that she has some problems? ”
"Bitter? What kind of trouble can she have, maybe her aunt is here, okay Yangyang, I don't dare to be interested in any news about Xia Qing now, I beg you not to report to me again in the future, otherwise the two brothers won't have to do it! ”
I was a little upset and hung up the phone.
Difficulties? What can be the pain! Maybe she's really having a hard time, but she doesn't talk to me about anything, and I can't read minds.
Even if the bitterness does exist.
In order to develop better in the music industry, he chose the domineering president Han Yishen in desperation? So... Because of the hardship, I chose a man who is better for my career, how can this be considered hardship, then there will be no hardship in this world!
Fuck the hard work!
The love is shallow, and the deep relationship is like water
