23, Ningcheng Town
A few people walked and stopped, almost in the evening before entering Ningcheng Town, the streets on both sides of the shop are lined up, pedestrians are weaving, the twilight sunset afterglow faintly obliquely on the white wall ink tile or brightly colored pavilion cornices, to the prosperous Ningcheng Town in front of you add a bit of hazy and poetic.
On the street, as the tea customers in the tea house said, several rangers wearing narrow sleeves or riding clothes in the crowd are more conspicuous, only to see them carrying long swords or large swords at their waists, and they will lazily glance at the passers-by, like leisurely cats patrolling their own territory.
Feng Wanwan and his party entered the city with two horses and one car, I don't know how many such lazy glances they received, and some even glanced at Bai Ling'er, who was lifting the curtain with one hand and revealing an excited little face.
"Brother, let's stay here tonight!" As soon as she entered Ningcheng Town, Bai Ling'er couldn't wait to open the curtain and look out, Feng Wanwan, who was sitting opposite her, was also stained with her light, and she could see the street scene outside the window without lifting the curtain herself.
After the car stopped, Bai Haoyu opened the curtain, Feng Wanwan and Bai Ling'er jumped off the carriage one after another, and the passers-by were a little surprised to see the two young and beautiful women standing on the street without any disguise.
Feng Wanwan glanced around and found the reason why the pedestrians were surprised, seeing that there were very few women on the street, and some of them were also masked with light veils, they were an outlier, and it was no wonder that people looked at them a few more times.
"A few guest officers, hand over the horses to us!" The two little two in brown short coats hurried out of the store, helped Long San and Lin Heng lead the horses, and led the carriage into the backyard of the inn through the gate on the north side.
Xiao Er, who was in another blue short coat, ran out of the store and led Bai Haoyu, Bai Ling'er and Feng Wanwan to enter the lobby from the gate to check in.
As soon as the three of them entered the lobby with Xiao Er, the sharp-eyed Bai Ling'er saw that the green-clothed girl she met at noon was sitting alone at a table in the corner of the wall eating, and hurriedly poked Feng Wanwan's back: "Look at that woman."
For the woman who dares to scare Long San, Bai Linger has a good impression.
"The girl in green is here too, what a coincidence." Bai Haoyu also saw the girl in green and stepped forward to greet him.
Green Yi looked up at the few people who had just entered the door, nodded as a greeting, and continued to bury his head in the meal.
Bai Haoyu was bored with himself, and he didn't care, and turned his head to look at the two girls in front of him: "Do you two live in one room or separate." ”
"I'll stay with Wanwan." Bai Ling'er replied first.
Late Closure: "......"
Can she say no? Looking at Bai Ling'er's happy smiling face, Feng Wanwan swallowed back what he was about to say.
Bai Xiyu saw that Feng Wanwan had no objection, and threw a big silver ingot on the counter: "Three upper rooms, get some water for us to wash." ”
"Great! Xiao Li, take a few guest officers upstairs to rest, Tianzi five, six, and eight rooms. The shopkeeper behind the counter saw a silver ingot of fifty taels like he saw his own father, and smiled very affectionately.
"Yes, a few guest officers, please come with the little one." The little second who had just led them in came over again, bent down and saluted, and then stepped forward to lead the way, and when they arrived at the staircase, they happened to meet Long San and Lin Heng, who were already waiting there.
As Xiao Er went up to the third floor, three or two residents would meet in the corridor from time to time to whisper or pay attention to their group.
"Look, these two girls don't know how to cover it up, it's okay to wear a veil, don't you know if it's not peaceful here?"
"It's okay, don't you see a brother by your side? Look at the man in white, who is still wearing a sword, he should be able to martial arts. ”
The residents were really heartbroken for their group.
Nos. 5, 6 and 8 are located on the easternmost side of the third floor, facing the street, and you can see the endless flow of pedestrians downstairs when you open the east window.
Bai Ling'er was very satisfied with this, and picked the middle room, and the three men on the left and right sides were divided, Bai Haoyu and Lin Heng had one, and Long San had a separate room.
"Brother, where are we going to eat later?" After solving the problem of housing, Bai Linger began to worry about eating again.
"I can't starve you, I saw a restaurant doing very well on the way here, and I'll take you there to eat later." Bai Haoyu scratched his sister's nose and smiled.
Parents at home said to go out to travel, not a year and a half can't see each other, in fact, it's lazy, since he became an adult, he handed over the property to him to take care of alone, fortunately with the help of his cousin, so as not to be busy until midnight every day, this time his sister is estimated to be scared by him, every day at home shouting to go out for a walk, while there are Feng girls and Long San with him, he will respond.
Half an hour later, several people went downstairs together, and this time, in order not to be too eye-catching, Feng Wanwan and Bai Ling'er both changed into men's clothes.
So there are two less female Jiao'e in their line, and two more jade carved boys.
"Brother, where are we going to eat!" Although she has changed men's clothes on the outside, Bai Ling'er, who is still a gluttonous girl on the inside, asked.
"It's just ahead, not far away." Bai Haoyu pointed to the restaurant where lanterns hung in front of the front door, and there were three or two guests coming in and out.
"Brother Long, in front of you is the 'Taibai Building', it is said that the Taibai wine served in it is the most famous in this town, you have to drink more today." Bai Haoyu said as he walked with Long San beside him.
"Okay, as long as Brother Bai treats me, I'm definitely not welcome." Long San nodded, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the three words 'Taibai Lou' in front of him, the gesture was vigorous and powerful, clear and elegant, I didn't expect to see such a good word in this small town, Long San looked forward to the dishes inside.
The little two in the store saw that these people were dressed extraordinarily, so they greeted them early.
"Xiao Er, bring up all your signature dishes here, the important thing is that Taibaijiu, bring us a few more pots." In a box on the third floor of Taibai Building, Bai Haoyu threw down a silver ingot.
"Okay, please wait." Xiao Er withdrew with a silver ingot.
After a while, he knocked on the door of the box, followed by three small men with trays.
Although the dishes have not yet been served, the taste has already drifted into the room first, spicy crab, delicious shrimp, boiled fish, stir-fried fresh vegetables, as long as you can name it.
Long San, who was slaughtered by Bai Ling'er at noon, had a great appetite.
There are a few ice basins in the room, so even if you have a mouthful of hot soup in your mouth, you don't feel hot, this soup is too fresh, and I drank a few more sips in the evening.
"Well, you know what? A few days ago, a young man who sent firewood to the Peony Building said that he had seen Miss Yao there, and he had sent firewood to Miss Yao's house before, but then someone went to find the young man who sent firewood, and heard that he was missing. "There was a man's gossip in the box next door.
This restaurant is really a good place to inquire about the news, sometimes you don't need to inquire deliberately, you can hear an ear of gossip.
A few people listened while eating and listening, which was a pastime during the meal.
Long San and Bai Ling'er even commented on the truth and falsehood of those gossip.
