Chapter 19 Suzhou snacks are lovely

After resting all night, Jiang Zhiyuan and the others continued to hurry in the early morning.

As usual, Jiang Zhiyuan got into the carriage first, followed by Guo Xiaoxiao. Jiang Zhiyuan was about to bow his head and get into the carriage, when he suddenly found that someone behind him was pulling at his sleeve.

He looked back and Guo Xiaoxiao looked at her with a straight face. Jiang Zhiyuan didn't know what she meant, so she stretched out her hand and begged him to pull her into the car himself.

A doting smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Zhiyuan's mouth, and he easily pulled her up with one hand.

Li Xiangcheng next to him saw his move, and dared not speak angrily. Guo Xiaoxiao turned around and smiled smugly at her.

Guo Xiaoxiao just wants her to know that she is not worthy of Jiang Zhiyuan, and Guo Xiaoxiao just wants her to know that she will not be loved by Jiang Zhiyuan no matter what.

I shouldn't have treated Li Xiangcheng like this, but people always have to be a little self-aware, know what to do, what not to do, what can be fought for, and what can't be fought for. Too much exceedance and failure to abide by one's duty are all wrong in Guo Xiaoxiao's view.

After Li Xiangcheng sat down, the carriage started to run again. Today's weather is better than a while ago, and the occasional cloudy day in the summer will make it comfortable.

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "Orange girl, I'm about to arrive in Suzhou. ”

Li Xiangcheng looked up at him, waiting for him to say the next word.

"After Miss Guo and I send you to Suzhou, let's say goodbye."

Li Xiangcheng looked at him with some panic, his lips moved, and he stopped talking. She turned her head to look at Guo Xiaoxiao, her eyes changed from gentle to fierce, from love to jealousy.

Guo Xiaoxiao did not avoid her eyes, and looked at her without blinking.

Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes were saying: I know you hate me now, but I'm teaching you how to behave. It is unkind to frantically exploit the sympathy of others for one's own benefit; It is unjust to bother to sow discord between benefactors; After getting a benefit, you have to get an inch, it is for greed.

Li Xiangcheng's eyes drooped, and she said after a while: "Xiangcheng, thank you Gongzi Jiang and Miss Guo for taking care of them these days." ”

She glanced at Jiang Zhiyuan and said, "I hope to meet again in the future." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "Next time we meet, I believe you will be better than now." ”

Finally passed the city gate of Suzhou, and Jiang Zhiyuan asked Jiang Feng to let Li Xiangcheng get off the carriage here. Li Xiangcheng didn't say anything, took the luggage from Jiang Feng's hand, and watched the carriage go away.

Jiang Zhiyuan originally planned to send her to a more lively place on the street, but he thought that the sooner this matter ended, the better, and if he kept her, he was afraid that there would be another incident.

Li Xiangcheng found a place to squat at the city gate with his burden in his arms, and counted a few coils, and the silver taels given by Jiang Zhiyuan could fill his stomach for a few more days. But what's next? Saying earlier that she was going to Suzhou to find relatives was just a pretense, and she had no relatives in Suzhou at all.

She was holding the silk handkerchief embroidered with a foal, and Guo Xiaoxiao did not ask her for it. Yesterday she walked behind, and at that moment, she handed the silk handkerchief to the scholar, and said, "My young lady asked me to give it to you." The scholar was overjoyed.

Of course, the scholar would not think that Li Xiangcheng was interested in him, because even if Li Xiangcheng was wearing clothes made of "the country of abundance", his temperament was still a big loss to Guo Xiaoxiao.

Guo Xiaoxiao grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, his ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and his skin is naturally fair. In addition, Mr. Guo has asked Mr. Guo Xiaoxiao for advice since he was a child, and his temperament is naturally very different from that of the white cloth cloth.

Of course, the scholar thinks that the young lady in Li Xiangcheng's mouth is Guo Xiaoxiao, and Li Xiangcheng is Guo Xiaoxiao's personal maid. It was she who made him mistakenly think that Guo Xiaoxiao deliberately bumped his shoulder and wanted to get his attention.

Li Xiangcheng saw that the scholar admired Guo Xiaoxiao, so he deliberately directed this good show. She expected that the scholar would be wrapped around Guo Xiaoxiao with a dead face, and Guo Xiaoxiao would not be able to say clearly when he had a mouth.

originally thought that Jiang Zhiyuan would definitely be angry and suspicious of Guo Xiaoxiao because of this. Once two people who are happy with each other can't trust each other and become suspicious of each other, they are not far from breaking up.

But it was only one night, she didn't know what was going on, Jiang Zhiyuan and Guo Xiaoxiao reconciled again. How could her wishful thinking turn out to be like this?

She doesn't admit defeat, why is Guo Xiaoxiao born to enjoy fine clothes and food, but she has to endure hunger and cold? Why does Guo Xiaoxiao have a cousin who loves her, and she doesn't even have a relative? Why? Why?

Maybe some things in the world are never fair, so there will be jealousy, strife, and extremism. When people are in a desperate situation and forced to be helpless, they will do something that violates morality in the eyes of ordinary people.

For Li Xiangcheng, as long as she can get what she wants, she will do whatever it takes. Even if it costs her life, as long as she can enjoy what she wants, it doesn't matter.

She wants to be like Guo Xiaoxiao, with proud capital and can say what she wants to say as she wants. She wants to be beautiful so that she can stand side by side with the person she loves.

Not long after Jiang Zhiyuan arrived in Suzhou, he quickly found an inn to settle down. After a short rest, he went to the Hai Lord's mansion to pay respects. It's a greeting, but it's just a greeting.

In terms of geography, Suzhou is wider than Yangzhou. In terms of economy, Suzhou is still better. Therefore, Hai Wuye has just taken office to give Jiang Fan a horse, and in the future, the political and commercial exchanges between the two places will let Jiang Fan's Yangzhou give way to Suzhou.

Of course, Jiang Fan would not obey Hai Wuye's wishes, and his visit to his mansion was just a "slight expression".

Guo Xiaoxiao should not be involved in government affairs, so he stayed at the inn with Xiaolan. However, Jiang Zhiyuan had an instruction before leaving, saying that if she was really bored, she would go out for a walk with Xiaolan.

Sure enough, how could Guo Xiaoxiao sit still on the stool. It would have been fine to ask her to sit for a while, but she had been stuffy in her room for hours. What's more, the food vendors outside the window have been tempting her constantly, and the smell of baked cakes wafts into the room. She smelled that the whole person was about to fly out.

"No, the temptation of good food is too great." Guo Xiaoxiao took a deep snort of the fragrance, "Xiaolan, take the silver and go to the street." ”

If you want to say what is different between Suzhou and Yangzhou, it is the unique garden of Suzhou. Every shop, whether it is a tavern, a restaurant, a green house or a people's house, all show a unique style and charm of the garden.

The corridor is like a nine-curved ileum, you can't see through the scenery at a glance, the pavilions and water pavilions are scattered, and even the rockery is a variety of different shapes. Some resemble lions, some resemble monkeys, and some resemble horses.

Guo Xiaoxiao kept wandering around the street and ate a lot of snacks, barbecued meat, baked cakes, hibiscus tea, squirrel osmanthus fish, Fengzhen noodles, marinated dried tofu, and Tibetan mutton...... She took Xiaolan and went in and out of several stores in a row, and the two of them ate until they came out of the wall.

Xiaolan clutched her stomach and said, "Miss, the slave and maid follow you, today is really blessed." ”

"How?" Guo Xiaoxiao also covered his stomach and said with a smile, "Are you happy?" ”

"Happy, happy to die." Xiaolan raised her two hands and staggered, "Ouch, that's it...... Eating a little too much. ”

"Hahaha." Guo Xiaoxiao laughed heartily and continued, "Alas, it's a pity that my father doesn't let me eat anything on the street casually, and I usually don't dare to go out to hang out even if I have money. ”

Xiaolan frowned: "Yes, thanks to Young Master Cousin this time, we have the opportunity to eat so many delicious foods." ”

"So, we must have fun today, otherwise we won't have a chance to go back."

Xiaolan was a little worried, and didn't dare to play with her anymore, and when Jiang Zhiyuan asked back, she couldn't afford it. But Guo Xiaoxiao insisted on pulling her to the crowd, where it was lively.

The two played until dark, and on the way, Xiaolan dissuaded Guo Xiaoxiao from going to the inn several times, but they were all blocked by Guo Xiaoxiao's words, and Xiaolan didn't dare to say any more.

Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Feng chatted with Hai Daren in Haifu for a few words, and then followed Hai Daren to visit the Yamen in Suzhou before returning to the inn.

"Xiaoxiao." He knocked on Guo Xiaoxiao's door.

Seeing no one answer, he pushed the door and went in, Guo Xiaoxiao was not in the room. Looking back at the window, the moon was hanging high in the sky. Before he had time to eat, he took Jiang Feng to the street.

Tonight is a smoke cage, cold water, moon cage sand, and the moon is accompanied by some dark clouds, so the moonlight is faint.

Suzhou's night markets are very lively, and some vendors only come out at night to set up their stalls.

Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Feng went separately to find Guo Xiaoxiao, but the street was wide and long, and there were many lanes, and the two of them didn't find it for a long time.

Jiang Zhiyuan instructed Jiang Feng to continue searching, and he was still looking on the street. Suddenly, seeing a figure in front of him that looked very similar to Guo Xiaoxiao, Jiang Zhiyuan stepped forward and grabbed the man's wrist: "Xiaoxiao!" ”

The girl turned around and said, "This boy, you have recognized the wrong person." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He hurriedly let go of the girl's hand and apologized to them.

The girl wiped her hands in disgust and walked away quickly.

Jiang Zhiyuan rubbed his face with his hands to sober himself up.

There was a similar situation before, and at night, he frantically looked for Guo Xiaoxiao on the street, but he recognized the wrong person. When he was in too much of a hurry, he saw someone whose back and body looked very similar to Guo Xiaoxiao, so he wanted to ask.

Hungry, there was a wonton seller in front of him, he walked over and ordered a bowl of wonton from the boss, and then sat down.

The boss's wonton has not yet been done, and during the waiting time in between, he is still looking around to see if Guo Xiaoxiao is nearby.

Another person with a body very similar to Guo Xiaoxiao appeared, this time he did not blindly go over, but took a closer look, and found that the person was a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, and a gentle appearance, this is not who Guo Xiaoxiao is!

He immediately walked towards Guo Xiaoxiao. The boss had just made a wonton and put it on the table he was sitting on.

"Hey, guest officer, don't you want wanton?" The boss shouted.

Jiang Zhiyuan ignored the boss's shouts, and only knew that he had to go over and capture Guo Xiaoxiao now, otherwise he would definitely disappear again in a while.

"Ahh Guo Xiaoxiao was grabbed by the wrist and screamed in a panic.

Turning around and finding that it was Jiang Zhiyuan, Guo Xiaoxiao said, "Cousin, why are you here?" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan said with a straight face: "You are embarrassed to say that you don't know how to go back to the inn so late." ”

"Isn't the night market just beginning?" Guo Xiaoxiao pointed to the noisy crowd in the distance.

"Don't be forceful. The girl's house is not safe outside at night, you know? ”

"Yes, yes." Guo Xiaoxiao pinched his face and said, "Didn't you eat?" ”

"What kind of system, take it down."

"Say, are you hungry?" She didn't stop, "I just heard your stomach growling." ”

He let out a soft "um", and somehow, he wanted to put his arm around her waist and put it into action.

"I'll take you to something delicious." She said, tilting her head.

"I just ordered wonton." He lowered his head and hugged her, clinging to her.

"What kind of wonton to eat." Guo Xiaoxiao broke away from his embrace, "There are more delicious things than wonton." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao took his hand and walked towards the noisy place.
