The scope of Beiping City, that is, the size of the second ring in later generations, Shen Mengxi walked from Dongzhi Gate to Xizhi Gate in flat shoes, in the city gate hole, she suddenly became childlike and shouted "Little Tiger!" An echo rang out, and she laughed, laughing so hard that tears almost fell.

Touching the city wall, she could vaguely see the rice grains in the cracks of the city bricks, and the rough touch made her want to stick her body up, she could take pictures and videos, but this touch could not be taken away, and she could not stay. One day, these walls will be torn down, as if some truth had been buried.

"The best season in Peking allows you to catch up, the autumn is high and cool, neither hot nor cold. Let's go, I'll take you to the flyover. Jin Yuelong, who accompanied him, suggested.

"This bridge, you can say that the bridge that the Son of Heaven walked through the heavens, that is, the jade bridge, the people can only walk on both sides of the wooden bridge, but unfortunately the road was repaired a few years ago and demolished. Now Tianqiaoer is the area around here, three religions and nine streams, five elements and eight works, ten kinds of juggling, a hundred kinds of food, is the so-called "wine flag play drum Tianqiao City, how many tourists do not remember home." Maybe you won't like it, but this is the meeting place for the lower-class people in Beiping. But when you come to Beiping, if you don't look at the overpass, I'm afraid that you will regret it. ”

"No, doesn't it mean that the princes and nobles also like to visit the overpass, of course I have to take a good look."

The first thing I saw was a juggler, in a circle, an old man with thinning hair, with a little girl, who talked endlessly for most of the day, until he was full of flowers, and people kept surrounding him.

Shen Mengxi laughed when he saw it, and whispered to Jin Yuelong, "The trick of the flyover, just talk about it and don't practice, that's what you say!" ”

Jin Yuelong also laughed when he heard this.

The old man pointed to a little boy and asked him to take a gong out to collect money one by one, Jin Yuelong gave a few big money, and he asked Shen Mengxi again, Jin Yuelong said that we are together, the child actually rolled his eyes, Shen Mengxi was surprised in his heart, quite arrogant.

After collecting a circle of money, the little girl appeared, doing a difficult lower waist movement, with a stack of bowls on her head, her ribs showed through her clothes, and the child's calves trembled slightly, Shen Mengxi suddenly couldn't stand it, threw a few money to the field, turned around and left.

There was a monkey in front of him, the monkey pretended to be a bride with red silk on his head, and he didn't know how to strike, the monkey's whip whipped a few times, and the monkey screamed miserably, Shen Mengxi hurriedly fled, what Peking Opera, Quyi, and martial arts didn't watch, and there was a knife swallower over there, she screamed strangely, and quickly escaped from this place of juggling, people are already living hard, and they have to come to see others struggling alive.

Jin Yuelong drank a small bowl of mutton soup with her, and the two walked back.

Jin Yuelong said with emotion, "I didn't expect your physical strength to be so good!" ”

Shen Mengxi smiled, "Like a bigfoot woman in the countryside?" ”

"You should be like the woman in the "New World". In fact, women often don't want to be delicate, it is men who want them to be delicate, so they cater to being delicate. ”

You see, men understand everything.

"Are you sarcastic that I don't know how to pander?" Shen Mengxi raised his eyebrows and said provocatively.

"It's a compliment, you don't need to be pandered."

Shen Mengxi smiled and continued to walk forward, "A person's true freedom is not that he can do what he wants at will, but that he can not do what he doesn't like. ”

"Yes, we are often doing things that we hate, or even spurn about, but we can't help ourselves, we can only do this."

"Yes, we always can't help ourselves."

"Only if you are willing to reject a character like Wang Shouqing, you can fall in love without getting married." Jin Yuelong said jokingly.

Shen Mengxi glanced at him, "There are too many differences in our attitudes towards feelings. I don't like ambiguity, I don't like uncertainty, I'd rather lack than abundance. There is no possibility, I will not delay, and it is the most rational choice to make a decision immediately. ”

"Don't you think that the most fascinating time for love is the ambiguous and uncertain stage?"

"Understood! It's that you want to sleep with her, she wants to sleep with you, you both know that one day you will have sex, but you don't know which day it will be, and this is the best time. This is Hou Xiaoxian's interpretation of ambiguity, Shen Mengxi told Jin Yuelong about it, and speculated in his heart about his intimacy with Lin Huiya in the future.

Jin Yuelong raised his head and thought for a moment, and finally nodded with a smile, "That's what it means!" ”

"The freedom of love is just a legitimate and reasonable opportunity for ambiguity and abuse. The entire Republic of China is in adolescence, eager to love and always trying to touch taboos. In fact, people with a real high IQ are people who are loyal to their partners, and if people can't control their own reason, what is the difference between them and lower creatures? ”

"A woman's independence of mind is fascinating and terrifying." Jin Yuelong smiled bitterly, "I always feel like you're laughing at me around the bend." ”

"No, not really." Shen Mengxi looked at him and said seriously, "I didn't go around the bend!" ”

Jin Yuelong laughed, not angry. Shen Mengxi also smiled.

Jin Yuelong wanted to invite her to eat Western food, Shen Mengxi said that he wanted to eat old Beijing fried noodles, he slapped his head, "My old fan is best at this!" ”

In Shen Mengxi's small courtyard, there was a twenty-year-old ginkgo tree, with small fan-shaped leaves, half yellow and half green, mottled in the treetops, and some of the leaves swirled and fell to the ground.

The Liang couple, Jin Yuelong, and Shen Mengxi, the four of them sat around the table, eating fried noodles,

Shen Mengxi scooped two spoonfuls of fried sauce, put it in the dish yard, mixed it with the noodles together, took a sip, sucked in a large mouthful of noodles, sighed in surprise, and gave a thumbs up to the chef Lao Fan while chewing.

The noodles are firm and chewy, and the diced meat and shiitake mushrooms in the jajang sauce are so fragrant that you can't swallow your tongue.

Lin Huiya stared blankly at the sauce on Shen Mengxi's lips and reminded her to wipe it off.

Shen Mengxi wiped it off with a handkerchief and swallowed the food in his mouth, "Old Fan, your noodles are so delicious!" From now on, I'll come here once a year even if I'm on a plane! ”

Lao Fan received this praise, and everyone was so beautiful that they floated.

"Garlic cloves!"

"Gotcha!" Lao Fan went to get garlic upside down, "They don't eat it, it stinks, but you are a master who can eat!" ”

Jin Yuelong also followed her example and ate a gurgling sound, Shen Mengxi said, "This sound is a sign of respect for the chef." ”

"Okay, whatever you say is what you say." Jin Yuelong smiled and also took a bite of the garlic cloves, "It's stinky if it stinks, it's not me who stinks anyway." ”

Shen Mengxi ate a big bowl of noodles, and picked a chopstick to eat, Lao Fan persuaded, "I'll make it for you next time, don't eat it all at once!" ”

Shen Mengxi hadn't eaten so much for a long time, so he walked around the yard and saw Lin Huiya and his wife laughing.

After living in Beiping for a month, Shen Mengxi saw the scenery, walked the overpass, listened to the play, and was also taken to meet several cultural celebrities. Ah Huan urged a few times, and Shen Mengxi planned to go home.

Before returning to Shanghai, Lin Huiya went to her rented office to see her off, and said as if she didn't care, "Hongxing has been fanatically pursued by a female student recently. ”

"At his age, it's a time of great charm, and it's normal for young girls to be blinded."

"The girl is very beautiful, and the poems she writes are also hot, 'You are smiling and clinging to me, and your dancing waist is getting lighter and lighter, and I think the music is too heavy!' , You know, Hongxing's wife is very powerful, don't look at him always saying that the country that is afraid of his wife is a more democratic country, in fact, he is completely afraid of his wife, the incident in West Lake, probably he was also in the sea, and now men are mostly ambiguous, and they don't want to take any responsibility, this Xu Fangfang is probably going to pay the truth wrongly. ”

"Don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't be responsible."

"Yes." Lin Huiya smiled, "That's what it means." ”

"He has so many theories, the big grandmother theory, the theory of three from four, the theory of being afraid of his wife's democracy, what else?"

"He also said, 'You have to look at the civilization of a country, first of all, how they treat children, second of how they treat women, and third of how they use their leisure time.'" Regarding the treatment of women, he said that women who have been raped and insulted do not have to commit suicide, and there is no loss of virginity in women. What is the difference between marrying a defiled woman and marrying a virgin, and if anyone dares to break this superstition of virginity, we should respect him. ”

Shen Mengxi didn't know that Hu Hongxing still had such a point of view, and he didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.

The two were silent under the tree for a while, and Lin Huiya finally said, "I always feel that I am very responsible for Shizhe's death." Until I gave birth, I was depressed for a while, and it was the comfort of sincerity that got me through those difficult years. ”

"I'm objectively saying that you have some responsibilities because he's going to listen to you."

Lin Huiya listened to the tears.

Shen Mengxi continued: "I once left him in Shanghai for Ah Huan's birthday, but he insisted on coming to Beiping. Ah Yu bought him a train ticket, but because he quarreled with Lu Xiaomei, he went to Nanjing in sloppy clothes in a fit of anger. It was as if there was a will in the darkness that governed him and came to this point. From this point of view, you don't have to blame yourself too much, he is an adult and can take responsibility for his actions. ”

"Lu Xiaomei hated me to death and thought that I ruined the rest of her life. Recently, I heard that she was looking for Shizhe's eight treasure chests, and wanted to collect the letters and diaries that Shizhe wrote to him back then into a book and publish them publicly. ”

"Yes, Mr. Hu once called me and he mistakenly thought the box was in my house. Hehe, he looks down on me the most, how could he put such a cherished thing here with me. Shen Mengxi casually asked again, "Then did they find the box in the end?" ”

"It shouldn't be there, Hongxing is very sorry."

"Oh, it's okay if you can't find it, Xu Shizhe probably doesn't want the letter to be exposed."

Lin Huiya looked at Shen Mengxi for a long time and nodded.
