At night in L.A., the air is filled with an intoxicating fragrance. No matter how many poor people are hungry and cold outside the city, the drunken gold fans in the city are always the same. In particular, the place in Moon Bay, west of Changying Street, has always been a frequent place for nobles, and it is a microcosm of the wealth and prosperity of Los Angeles, like starry lights, burning until dawn every night. Not to mention that there are always the children of the family, when they rise, with a stroke of their hand, countless bright fireworks will bloom above the sky, and the sky and the earth will shine in an instant, and they will not stop for a long time.

"Will something happen when you come out this big night?" After Tang Lu'er got out of the car with Meng San with Zhaocai, she looked at the bustling street with some curiosity, but still asked with some worry.

Meng San glanced at her, and tonight specially asked her to wear a hooded windy wool cloak with gold thread entwined with begonia flowers on a water red background, and the bright color lined her fair skin more delicately. This girl has really grown up, the childishness of the child has gradually receded, and the girl's coquettishness has gradually emerged. As soon as she got out of the car, she had already attracted the attention of many people around her, only to see her round eyes reflecting the lights on the street under her curved green eyebrows. Even when he doesn't speak, he is full of anger.

"What will happen?" Meng San smiled and helped her put on her hat, one was to block the wind, but to block the gaze of some irrelevant men.

"Isn't there an assassin?" Don't skip words. Tang Lu'er looked at Meng Sandao, "Last time we watched the play in the theater, something happened." ”

"Are you worried about me or looking down on me?" Meng San smiled, then gestured to the side and said, "Don't worry, since my brother took you out, can I ignore your safety." Look over there, there are officers and soldiers guarding it, otherwise do you think those sons and brothers, famous ladies and ladies dare to come out on this big night. ”

Tang Lu'er followed his gaze and looked there, only to realize that there were almost three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post on the street, and all of them were dressed in thin armor and wore long knives at their waists. The people on the street seemed to be accustomed to this, and they still talked and laughed, had fun and had fun, and were not affected by the solemn looks of the officers and men in the slightest.

Zhaocai always wanted to jump down, Tang Lu'er carefully hugged it, and said, "Do you send so many people here to guard it every night?" "Don't skip words.

"That's the way it was, and there used to be only three or five people patrolling this street at night." Meng San took her as he walked and said, "I originally wanted to implement a curfew here, but this place in Los Angeles is also brightly lit when there is a war. I don't know how many families have their industries here, and there are many foreign merchants who also do business here. Therefore, as soon as the curfew came out, it aroused the opposition of countless people, and in the end, such methods were used. ”

Tang Lu'er sighed: "I really didn't expect it to be so prosperous, compared to Liuzhou." ”

In fact, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor, the more unbelievable the spectacle of such drunkenness, because war has concentrated the wealth of the majority into the hands of a few in a short period of time. Therefore, troubled times have always been a paradise for careerists and a hell for ordinary people. And now, the Qizhou Rebellion is coming to an end, and the peaceful world has appeared, so before this dawn, there are always people who want to take advantage of this thickest darkness to make a final struggle.

"Let's go, there's Moon Bay over there, and there's a painting boat to sit on." Meng San said and pointed to the three-storey exquisite small building in front of him, "That Moon Bay is actually an artificial lake, it was more than 20 years ago, the owner of Wutong Pavilion spent a lot of money to dig a thin lake behind his pavilion, and led the water of Taibo Lake in the west, which became Moon Bay, and then he built a series of buildings around Moon Bay. Eating, drinking and having fun are all in it, and Wutong Pavilion has suddenly become the center of the west of the city. Later, even most of the shops on the street in front of the Wutong Pavilion were almost bought by the Wutong Pavilion, so when the curfew was mentioned, the biggest opposition was the owner of the Wutong Pavilion. ”

Tang Luer was surprised: "So rich"

Meng San smiled: "The Zhao family in Los Angeles is the richest man. ”

"Zhao?" Tang Lu'er was stunned, "His family is also an official." ”

"Hey, how did the girl know?" Meng San was also a little surprised, so he said, "The uncle of the Wutong Pavilion owner is the Qizhou Punishment and Prosecution Department, and the Zhao family has a foundation in Qizhou for hundreds of years. ”

"The last time I went out shopping with Bai Jing, I heard someone say something to the prince Lord Zhao......" Tang Lu'er thought of Shangguan Yulai as she spoke, and she was stunned, but she immediately laughed again, "But the Zhao family is so powerful, how is it compared to your family?" ”

Meng San smiled faintly: "Originally, it was about the same, the Zhao family's power was in the west of the city, and the Meng family was mainly in the south of the city, but the Meng family had a big incident some time ago and was almost uprooted, and now it is naturally not as good as the Zhao family at the moment." ”

Tang Lu'er wondered: "Then why don't you take me to the south of the city?" If we don't go to our own territory, what kind of field will we give to others?"

Meng San laughed: "Silly girl, do you think that our family is also a restaurant to do business." ”

Tang Lu'er was stunned: "What's that?" Is it true that all of your family are officials? So the south side of the city is just a large area of Zhuangzi? ”

"It's true that the Meng family has a lot of careers, but a copper mine and an iron mine in the south of Qizhou are also considered the Meng family's industry, so there are more copper and iron shops over there, what are you going to visit?"

Tang Lu'er realized: "No wonder you will open a blacksmith shop after you go to Xingqi Island." It turns out that there is a family relationship. ”

"Not really." As the two spoke, they arrived at Wutong Pavilion, Meng San smiled and patted her hat lightly, "Okay, let's go in with my brother." ”

Before stepping on the steps of Wutong Pavilion, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper came out, and he hugged his fist at Meng San with a smile on his face and said: "I really didn't expect Meng Sanye to come, just now those little ones ran in and told me, I still don't believe it." ”

"Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes, I'm afraid you will see me three miles away, and someone needs to inform you."

"The third master really likes to laugh, I really don't have such good eyes as a few years ago, I'm afraid of recognizing the wrong person, not entertaining well, and worrying every day." The shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile, and then made a gesture to invite in, and at the same time swept his eyes slightly towards Tang Lu'er, estimating Tang Lu'er's identity in his heart. I haven't seen any girl go out shopping at night, and she still has a cat and a dog by her side.

"Today is also a temporary idea, take my girl over to see your night view of Moon Bay, I didn't book in advance, I don't know if there is still a spare painting boat?" Meng San asked as he walked inside.

"It's rare for Meng Sanye to come once. Naturally, the Sycamore Pavilion will not disappoint you. Shopkeeper Zhao first smiled and squinted his eyes and said, and then said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "It's just that the third master came a little suddenly, let me go and prepare for the third master, can you wronged the third master and the girl to go to the small attic to sit for a while and taste our osmanthus brew." ”

"Knowing that your business is good, no one can be offended, okay, I don't embarrass you, then pick a good position for us. By the way, are there any fireworks prepared tonight? If not, let people prepare, my girl is rare to come out once, but I can't let her down. ”

"Of course, a few days ago, the fireworks of the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers were sent, and they will be released in a while, which will be regarded as a small gift from Wutong Pavilion to the third master and the girl." The shopkeeper personally led Meng San and Tang Lu'er into a small pavilion with a wide field of vision, and called the guys over to explain a few words in detail, and then retreated. It's just that after going out, he was a little puzzled in his heart, so Meng San hasn't gotten married yet, where is such a big girl, is it possible that she is a good match? It's just that the girl doesn't look like those sisters in the building, he pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had heard about the adopted daughter of the Meng family before, and his heart was shocked, just like this will meet the owner who is going to go to the painting boat and the distinguished guests around the owner.

Tang Lu'er and Meng San had just sat down, and before they had time to drink the osmanthus brew they had served, they took a small sip of Zhaocai, and the shopkeeper Zhao came back and told them good news, saying that Zhao Dongjia invited them to play on their own painting boat.

"Is it Zhao Liuye's painting boat?" Meng San was stunned, and then smiled, "It's just that I don't have much friendship with Zhao Liuye." ”

"The sixth master said that Meng Sanye is a distinguished guest, and it is rare to come here again, if it is neglected, it is our deserved. And Meng Sanye doesn't have to worry about not going, the sixth master didn't give his painting boat to the third master and the girl, the sixth master is now entertaining guests on the second floor of the painting boat, so the sixth master just invited Meng Sanye and the girl to go on the painting boat to play and sightsee, so there is no need to be polite, and I hope that Meng Sanye can enjoy a face. ”

Meng San raised his eyebrows: "Wouldn't we disturb the guests of the sixth master in this way." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled: "Meng Sanye is too worried, and the guest doesn't mind." ”

Meng San thought for a moment, then stood up and smiled: "In this way, then thank you Zhao Liuye." ”

Tang Lu'er was puzzled, and on the way to the painting boat, she pulled Meng San's clothes and whispered: "This is not good, in fact, you don't have to sit on any painting boat." I think the location of that little loft just now is quite good. Although it was beautiful to see the stars on the edge of the lake, she always felt that it was inappropriate.

As soon as he spoke, he had already walked to the board where the painting boat was set up on the shore, Meng San glanced at the second floor of the painting boat, and then retracted his gaze to help Tang Lu'er straighten the cloak on his body and smiled: "What's wrong, brother can't afford this face." Okay, let's go up, haven't you seen the greed of the fortune and wine, this little guy must be a drunkard reincarnated. ”

Sure enough, a gust of wind blew, the fragrance of wine on the painting boat wafted over, and Zhaocai's eyes lit up, and suddenly he jumped out of Tang Lu'er's arms and stepped on the pedal and rushed to the painting boat.

Tang Lu'er was startled and hurriedly called it, but her feet didn't stand firm, and she almost fell off the pedal. Meng San was startled, and immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side and said, "My good sister, do you learn everything in vain with the wind, I can rest assured that you have half of the fortune." ”

The intimate actions and words of the two of them made the shopkeeper Zhao next to him even more puzzled, and even on the second floor of the painting boat, there were figures poking out.

"Uh, I forgot." As soon as Meng San said this, Tang Lu'er replied, and then shouted towards the painting boat, "Zhaocai hasn't come back yet." ”

Zhaocai moved his head and glanced at Tang Lu'er, as if he was struggling with something, but in the end he stood obediently, but it didn't run back to Tang Lu'er, but sat on the painting boat, raised his head, and looked at Tang Lu'er like a gambling child, with his tail wagging and shaking.

"Hahaha...... Meng San laughed, "That little guy carried it with you." ”

"Really." Tang Lu'er sighed and got on the painting boat.

Shangguan Yu stood in the shadow by the window on the second floor, silently looking at the girl who was chasing the cat and smiling brightly.
