When the sound of the piano fell, the person on the top of the mountain had already flown forward, gradually showing the appearance of a human being, and it was actually just a child in his teens. Seeing the four of them, Shi Li said, "Father is waiting for you in the living room, so you can go with me." However, the general's clothes were damaged, and I should have been too heavy, so I'm really sorry. After speaking, a few maids came to guide Zhu Jun into the guest room to change into new clothes.

Zhu Jun asked, "Are you the maids here, and who is your master?"

The maid said, "We are the embroiderers here, not the maids, who are responsible for everyone's dressing. As for our master, didn't you already know about it? Master Hou treated us very well, but those homeless people outside often came to steal things, and after giving them clothes and food a few times, they stayed outside Wangwu Mountain, scolding all day long, and they were annoyed to death. ”

Zhu Jun was vigilant, and suddenly felt that everything was deliberately arranged by Su Wu, and the embroidery girl in front of him must have been sent to persuade him.

So Zhu Jun stopped talking, just quietly listened to the embroidery girls chatting there.

"Aunt Liu, I heard that your Xiu'er is fifteen years old this year, but if you find a suitable family, if not, how about you look at my second son?"

Aunt Liu said: "Where can I manage those, since the Hou Ye is in charge of Wangwu Mountain, the portal hierarchy has long been abolished, and when the children grow up, where is it our turn to worry about adults, as long as they like it, even if we want to stop it, we can't find a suitable reason." ”

Aunt Zhu said: "Then you should mention my family's second son in front of your Xiu'er, so it can't be regarded as a violation of the Hou Ye's decree." Besides, as far as your family is concerned, I haven't seen it once on the street if you don't go out of the door all day. ”

Aunt Liu said: "You don't recruit yourself." If you like our show, you will say it directly, and you want to talk to me in a roundabout way. But how do you say it? Your second boy is also one of the best talents in the city, are you really willing to let your second son marry my family's Xiu'er?"

Aunt Zhu said: "Let's tell the truth. Do you remember the last time Xiu'er came to bring you food, my second son was also there, so just when we met, he thought about it in his heart, and he told me dozens of times. ”

Aunt Luo said: "Let's worry less about the children's affairs, so as not to go against their own wishes, but affect the harmony between the family, and make it like having an enemy." ”

Several embroidery girls together are also gossiping, but most of them still agree with Aunt Luo's words.

Aunt Zhu handed the appropriate cotton robe to Zhu Jun. said: "You are a general, and so is my eldest son, but you have only just taken office, and you are in charge of patrolling, maybe you can meet you when you go shopping." ”

Aunt Liu said: "Are you showing off your boss again? But as long as it is a person, he has glanced at you, and he is looking for it in the crowd, as long as he looks exactly the same, he must be your eldest son, which is no secret in the city." ”

Aunt Zhu said proudly: "That's natural, my son naturally looks like me, but I also wonder, this kid naturally looks like a woman, and it's really difficult to mix well in the barracks." ”

Zhu Jun left, listening from a distance that Xiuniang was still talking about the trivial matters of those parents, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed. Said to himself: "It's me who is too careful, but I have failed the kindness of the embroidery girls, if I asked casually just now, can I understand what I want to know." ”

When I came to the living room, I saw Zhu Jun dressed in gorgeous clothes, and Candle Tian and Chen Xin were full of envy.

Su Wu said: "I also have a general understanding of what I just said. To be able to build a luxurious Baihualou on the site of my Wangwu Mountain, it is unreasonable to say that I don't know anything about it. But now that I think about it, it was I who didn't take care of the lives of everyone in Baihualou, and I let those demon friends fall away, and I was derelict in my responsibility. However, I never thought that you were the culprit at this time. ”

Candle Tian was full of regret in his heart, and he really wanted to slap himself a few big mouths. I didn't have anything to mention about Baihualou, but now Su Wu was dissatisfied, and he was really a little more uneasy in his heart, for fear that Su Wu would find fault to avenge the demon clan of Baihualou, I am afraid that he would throw himself into the net.

However, Su Wu said, "You don't have to mind. If I can't make the right decision in advance, the wrong action is the most correct choice in some aspects, after all, many things are still largely affected by the situation at that time. No one has the right to judge what is right or wrong. ”

Zhu Jun said: "This is probably the conclusion of the coffin." Hou Ye's mind really made me admire him very much, everything is more forward-looking planning, rather than chasing the past. I am ashamed to be a big man in the world, and I will study hard in the future. ”

At this time, the previous teenager appeared in the living room.

said: "My father has always taught us to look forward when we encounter things, only in this way can we survive in a desperate situation and deal with it calmly." ”

Saw the teenager come in. Su Wu said: "Erlang, you don't practice well, what are you doing here?

After giving the salute, Erlang said: "Father, today is the day of the inspection, I have come to ask my father, do you want me to go to the inspection alone today, you are here to receive distinguished guests." ”

Su Wu picked up the teacup and said, "You are already fourteen years old, it's time to be on your own." But the matter of the inspection is related to the livelihood of the people, and your experience is not enough, let General Zhu take you there. Remember, everything must be arranged by General Zhu, and if I hear from the people that you are not the slightest bit, then you will be punished for keeping vigil for three months. ”

Erlang was ordered to go, his steps were brisk, and his stride became a lot larger. It seems that the mood of eagerness to go to the inspection is self-evident.

Chen Xin said: "The second son's attainments in piano art are really eye-opening, and it must be inseparable from the careful cultivation of Hou Ye." Now that he has just come of age, he wants to share official duties for Hou Ye, and he is really a young talent, which makes me envious. ”

Hou Ye said: "If you want to talk about his piano skills, he does have some achievements, but in other aspects, it is a mess." And this piano thing really has nothing to do with me, it is all taught by his mother, and I have never asked. Children, I think there should be a happy childhood, studies can be a little more grasping, other martial arts and other things, I think it is better to teach after adulthood, it should be more convenient, do not have to worry all day long, afraid of this, afraid of that, hurt the child's body. ”

Candle Heaven is very much in favor of this. Think about yourself, if you hadn't lost your parents since you were a child and depended on your sister for your life, I'm afraid you wouldn't have achieved what you are today. must be like other children of the same age in Liusha Village, who are literate and read all day long, meet politely, and speak with a sour taste, and they can't talk together at all.

On the contrary, it is the children of poor families who understand everything, speak directly and cheerfully, wave their flags and shout when hunting, and can help when necessary. It's like those boys, they can't lift their hands, they can't carry their shoulders, they have to cry at every turn, they complain and bite people everywhere, and they are annoyed to death.

Candle Tian was distracted, but he saw everyone else standing up and walking out the door.

After asking Chen Xin, I learned that someone was beating the drum and complaining just now, so Hou Ye had to leave first to deal with the affairs at hand. Let everyone walk around the streets on their own and talk when they have time.

When they came to the street of Wangwu Mountain City, the four of them were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe that they were in the mountains.

A street to the east is 300 meters away, leading directly to the cave in the belly of the mountain, and the wooden houses on both sides are built in a unique and novel way, especially the paintings on it, which make the four people amazed.

Flowers, fish, birds and beasts are the most basic embellishments, and each painting is a picture of the life of the people of Wangwushan. The landscape lines are clear and clear, the characters are vivid, and the atmosphere of life jumps above the paintings. In the subtle places, the patterns on the clothes can be clearly seen, allowing people to enjoy the scenes described in the paintings, and in the rough places, the outlines of the figures are blurred and hazy, covered with layers of fog, and make people think in their hearts, as if they are in a fairyland.

Seeing the arrival of Candle Tian and others, the merchants and people did not watch, let alone deliberately flatter.

It's completely different from going into other cities by yourself. This made Candle Tian inevitably curious, and walked into the shops one by one to look at the goods bought and sold, and after asking, he learned that the people of Wangwu Mountain City strictly abide by the rules of the mountain city, and everything is according to the buyer's mind. Moreover, all the shops do not need to be sold at all.

Candle Sky thought to himself. It's the same thing, there will be no outsiders in the mountain city at all, all the people are familiar with each other, who needs what things every month, where to buy and sell, are all immutable, why sell.

Chen Xin is quite fond of this. said: "Where is this shop, it is a market for free trading, and no one can do without anyone, and it has long formed a unique mountain city rule." ”

Chen Xin even saw that many people came to exchange things directly, and they didn't even see the silver used for buying and selling. However, if you think that this will affect the buzz of East Street, you are very wrong.

Because the taverns, teahouses, academies and chess tables between the shops are the real lively existence of East Street.

The tavern was full of a lot of people, they drank while listening to the wonderful rap of the tavern storyteller, what god wars, mountain spirits and strange talks, monsters repaid their kindness, and human strife, talking about painting and coloring, as if they were there, and when they were emotional, and the plot was wonderful, everyone was applauded, and the shouts were higher and higher.

The teahouse next to it may as well be more. A group of students from the academy were talking loudly, chanting poems and being right, and they were red-faced, but they still refused to admit defeat and told the poems one after another. Some satirize the court's deceit, some directly attack the intrigue of officials, some sympathize with the suffering and livelihood of the people, some praise the peace and stability of the times, some are affectionate to the landscape, and some write about the pastoral, compared with the storyteller's one-man show, it is more than that. The onlookers all nodded their heads in praise, and even the tea was regarded as a punishment after failure, and it was poured into the scholar's mouth one by one, so it was not lively.

The sound of reading in the academy came from afar, mixed with the hope for the future of Wangwu Mountain City, and it was also the eternal expectation in the hearts of all the people.

Only in the place of the chess table, there are sighs and sighs at every turn, in order to fight for a son, it is far-sighted, fighting wits and courage, and if you are not careful, you will be killed in all directions, and you will lose all the games. The winner sits firmly in front of the white pile, knocking on the table with the chess pieces, showing his wisdom, while the loser is seriously summing up, thinking twice to regain his strength, and fighting again.

From time to time, he said: "I can't blame me for my mistakes, it's all the trouble caused by those drunkard scholars, which disturbs the old decay." The people next to him burst into laughter.

The four of them enjoyed the lively street market, tasted the fruit wine of Wangwushan, listened to the storyteller's tone and frustration, looked at the scholars' belly full of tea, looked at the figure on the chess table in the distance, and looked at the tall school, they were reluctant to leave the East Street and indulge in it.
