The mountains are beautiful, the twilight is shallow, the horses' hooves are bursting, and the birds are singing quietly. There are more than 30 people in the north and south rudder of Wanmu Library, from the day trip to the sunset, all the way to the north, the scenery from the mountains to the plains, from high to low, from green to yellow, and gradually entered the early autumn. Everyone picked the first wave of tomatoes in Persimmon Bay, which was the first taste of autumn, and when they arrived outside the capital, it was already autumn, the forest was dyed, and the red leaves were full of mountains.

Xu Youran once thought that the capital was just a city bigger than Luocheng and Taiyuan Mansion, and when he really arrived at the foot of the city wall, he got a glimpse of it, and sighed that the past was just a cricket sitting in a well and watching the sky, small but conceited. However, when she arrived in the outer city, it was already red walls and yellow tiles, resplendent in gold, and the shock pressed heavily on her heart, and there was nowhere to solve it. As for how the city gate guards checked everyone's identities, how they reluctantly let them go, and how Mulan led everyone to live in the Penglai Inn in the south of the city, Xu Youran didn't pay attention at all.

Put the luggage away, drink a weak tea again, and the sense of oppression flies away. Xu Youran took advantage of the fact that he had not yet had dinner, and took Hongye Li and Longjin to Doujie Market to play. The sky has sunk, the streets of the capital are still lively, this sells horses, that sells saddles, this sells hairpins, and that sells flowers, and the shouting and shouting are endless; The steamed bun seller at the end of the long street opened the cage drawer, and the faint fragrance of the noodles slowly drifted into the nose with the wind.

"Look at this plate, it's so beautiful." Xu Youran pointed to the mackerel plate on the porcelain stall and said, only to see that the blue and white hair color is blue and gray, the glaze is soft, deep and elegant, and the pomegranate and pulsatilla patterns are painted on it, and it has both movement and quiet.

"yes, it's really different from the earthen bowl I usually use." Momiji Li nodded.

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Youran turned his head and asked Hongye Li, smiling skillfully.

"This bald bird represents the 'bird', and the pomegranate represents the 'thing'," Momiji Li smiled slyly and said, "Together, it is a 'bird thing' to do." ”

The vendor scoffed and shook his head. Xu Youran saw that Hongye Li was deliberately teasing himself, ignored him, and asked Long Jin instead, "What do you think?" ”

"Pomegranates have many seeds, and the white birds are long-term, and they are asking for an auspicious sentence of 'many sons and many blessings to grow old together', which is really ingenious and ingenious, and it is a mouthful." Long Jin answered honestly.

The little vendor nodded with satisfaction, and said in a thick Beijing film: "What this little brother said is very true, this blue and white porcelain plate is called auspicious and more than enough, take the meaning of many sons and many blessings, buy it back and put it away, gather the aura of heaven and earth, and it is full of blessings and full of energy." ”

Long Jin smiled and listened, although he was honest but not stupid, the hawker spent good rice and shouted to help the wind, and he had heard it. Inadvertently, he noticed that Hongye Li raised his eyebrows unhappily, embarrassed at the same time, but also a little young and secretly happy.

"Yo! Delicious! "The red leaves and plums came and went quickly, and when they saw that the cart with fried tofu was coming from far and near, they took out a few copper coins and stepped forward. Long Jin made a gesture to the vendor, and then took Xu leisurely to the side of the stall selling hairpins.

In addition to some ordinary hairpins and head flowers, there are also some delicate heads, full crowns and buns, plus various hair crowns and hair bands, which are dazzling, and the two of them can see the flowers in front of their eyes.

The little girl who sold hairpins greeted the two of them diligently: "Little Xianggong, do you want to pick something for your sweetheart to please the beauty?" You see that my tired silk phoenix hairpin is good-looking, it is better to buy it back and make a smile, and it is not in vain, come here. ”

"Huh? How do you know that I am a stranger? Xu Youran picked up a hollow glass hairpin and looked left and right curiously, while Long Jin stared at the tired silk phoenix hairpin and was silent.

"Hee-hee, as soon as you hear the accent of the little minister, you can know where it comes from...... If the little ministers are free, they can come to Qiushui to learn a few words of Beijing films, and it is not a trip in vain. "It turns out that the little girl who sells hairpins is named Qiushui, and she is really a lovely person like Qiushui, but it's a pity that this thick eyebrows and big eyes are too ostentatious, and she has been staring at the silly boy Longjin.

Alas, this is a hairpin made of glass, and you are a head made of stone, so you can't see this wrinkled pool of autumn water. Xu Youran sighed and Longjin was puzzled, and a trace of displeasure and anxiety gradually appeared in his heart, and he quietly put down the glass hairpin.

Long Jin turned his gaze and picked up another simple silver hairpin, which was dotted with a few peach blossoms, simple and cute, his face turned red, and he said in a stiff tone: "Girl, help me wrap this one...... If he had leisure, he would come and ask the girl for a few words. ”

Qiushui nodded happily, accepted the money, picked a thin wooden box, put the hairpin in it, and handed it to Long Jin, who took it, put it away, and put it in his arms. At this time, Hongye Li had already returned to the two of them with fried tofu wrapped in oiled paper, and the aroma of fried tofu came to his face.

"This northern tofu is delicious, you can taste it." As he spoke, Hongye Li took a wooden skewer and handed it to Xu Youran.

Long Jin took the wooden skewer and put it in his mouth: "Thank you Xiao Li." Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, it's good, it's good. ”

Xu Youran felt funny, Fang Cai was still jealous of Qiushui, and in the blink of an eye, the kung fu vinegar jar was transferred to the hands of Long Jin, a little fool, and it was a waste to have vinegar and no dumplings. Hongye Li handed another one to Xu Youran, which was changed by Long Jin without a trace, and then fell into Xu Youran's hands, she bit it open, crispy and fragrant, tough on the outside and soft on the inside, and full of juice.

"It's called northern tofu? Can it also be called southern tofu? Xu Youran asked.

"Of course, there is southern tofu, and there is female tofu next to it." The red leaf plum is as good as a stream, pushing the boat along the water.

"Male tofu, female tofu, old tofu and small tofu, what is fried tofu?" Xu Youran grinned and continued this boring topic, being idle anyway.

"Xu can be regarded as grandpa tofu!" Hongye Li smiled, and Xu Youran laughed too.

Laughing like this, the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division rode past the three of them on high-headed horses, rampage, quite unreasonable, Hongye Li was startled, took a few steps back, Xu Youran was dragged to the side of the street by Long Jin's hook hand, she was accustomed to Long Jin's quiet care, she didn't thank her, but stretched her neck and looked at it for a long time, until the back of the officers and soldiers disappeared around the corner.

"Drink! It's mighty. Xu leisurely sighed.

"The gentleman is safe and does not forget the danger, and the survival does not forget the death, you have to be careful, pay attention to what you say and do, and retract your gaze, this is not Los Angeles after all." Long Jin relied on how old he was, and reprimanded Xu Youran softly.

The corners of Xu Youran's eyes drooped, but it was inappropriate in his heart, how could he arrest me and go to the yamen because of his irregular eyes; She looked at Hongye Li again, and was undecided, and then teased him and said, "You are a tall man who practices martial arts, why are you not as bold as our two weak scholars." ”

"I was already timid when I was a child, and I was young and frail, so I was sent by my mother to learn art from my master, but it was not my wish. The so-called martial arts practice is courageous, and it is not soft to escape. Hongye Li shook his head and said.

"What's not soft?" Xu Youran asked without thinking, and Long Jin choked on a mouthful of saliva and coughed low.

"My legs aren't weak!" Hongye Li replied as a matter of course, Long Jin said in his heart, it is really a pair of living treasures.

Talking and laughing like this, eating and making trouble, all the way back to the inn, the three of them were already half-full. Yang Yizhi, Bai Yingchun and others didn't know where to go to do business, and they hadn't come back yet, so the three of them hastily finished dinner and went back to the house to rest.

Went back to the house to light the lamp, closed the door, Long Jin called Xu Youran over in a soft voice, quietly took out the familiar wooden box from his arms, and put it into Xu Youran's left hand, Xu Youran subconsciously grabbed it, and looked up in surprise.

'Little Xianggong, do you want to pick something for your sweetheart so that you can please the beauty?' Qiushui's words sounded in his ears, so that Xu Youran didn't know what to do, holding the fire fold in his right hand, he didn't raise it, and he didn't put it down.

"I've got you." Long Jin's simple sentence actually made Xu Youran, who is usually sharp-toothed, not know how to pick it up.

"Why?" As soon as Xu Youran spoke, he almost wanted to hit his head with his hand, isn't this a nonsense.

"I promised you that I would go to Guanlin to visit the temple fair together on April 13, but I didn't know that my studies were heavy, and not only trapped me in the boxy academy, but also plucked out your wings, cut off your tail hair, and tied me to my side. I can't afford to be angry, so I will compensate you, so you can accept it. Long Jin said in a low voice, his voice had faded from the green hoarseness, and gradually became low and magnetic, which made Xu Youran's heart flutter.

Longjin, Longjin, you are willing to disobey the family, accompany me to trek through the mountains and rivers, and come to the capital to pursue the ethereal dream, which is the greatest kindness to me. It's just that...... You take your official path, I take my wild path, and when we return to the original trajectory of life, this jade pot ice heart will always be disappointed.

She lowered her head and pushed the wooden box back into Long Jin's arms, Long Jin insisted on not accepting it, coming and going, Xu Youran was annoyed, so she accepted the hairpin and prepared to return it to its original owner on the way back.

"Calculate the time, Uncle Yang should also return, I will go and let the kitchen boil some hot water, so that I can serve the washing; If you are tired, lay down and rest, and I will come when I go. Xu Youran put the box in his arms, and found an excuse to run away in a hurry, but Long Jin only thought she was shy and didn't chase her out.

Xu Youran was full of thoughts, and when he arrived at the kitchen, he saw that Xiao Er was unloading the car and moving charcoal with a lady with gorgeous hair, so he didn't bother, and went into the pavilion in the courtyard alone, poured a cup of weak tea, and poured himself a drink.

"You are comfortable, and you have abducted the honest young master with clever words." The familiar voice sounded in his ears, Xu Youran looked up, this glance was really scared out of a cold sweat, the big man in front of him was the servant of the Long family, Long Dong, his eyes were gloomy, his tone was cold, all of them revealed disgust, "It's the autumn harvest, the lord can't make a move when he checks the family property certificate, so he asks me to arrest you and go home." ”

Xu Youran grabbed the teacup in his right hand, and his bones turned white.

"But, in my opinion, it's really not necessary." Long Dong pulled out a small knife from his waist, and the moonlight was printed on the blade, glowing with a cold light, "Getting rid of you is like pulling off a small flower bone, silently." ”
