The carriage clanged and stopped after passing a bluestone archway.

An old man in his sixties got out of the carriage, turned around and lifted the curtain, and shouted inside: "Little brother, you have arrived at the place." ”

Soon, a young man dressed in blue jumped out of the carriage, and this person was Fang Shuo.

Taking out a piece of silver from his sleeve, Fang Shuo thanked him: "Old man, thank you." ”

"No thanks, little brother is polite, go slowly." The old man smiled and saluted back.

Sitting in the carriage, Fang Shuo squinted and slept all the way, and finally came to Jingzhou from Yangzhou.

Because he had never been here, Fang Shuo thought that the terrain of Jingzhou was staggered, hot and humid, and he was not as talented as Yangzhou, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got out of the carriage, Fang Shuo found that he was wrong, and the towns in Jingzhou were as lively as Yangzhou.

"Good fresh meat and fruit vegetables, come up and have a drink."

"Take a look, take a look, you can't buy it and suffer a loss, and you regret missing it."

"The best handmade hot noodles, the only one in Kyushu in the world, come and try it."

The shouts are accompanied by the heat and the rich fragrance, which is really appetizing.

After riding in the carriage all the way, Fang Shuo was hungry at this moment.

Choosing a nearby restaurant, Fang Shuo found an empty table to sit down at as soon as he entered the door.

Xiao Er trotted forward and asked, "This guest officer, what do you want to eat?" ”

Fang Shuo said: "It's the first time I've arrived in your place, let's have a specialty dish in your building." ”

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Okay, please wait, the good dishes will come soon." ”

Sure enough, before he could wait, Xiao Er came over with a plate of dishes.

"This is the most famous chopped pepper fish head in this building, please use it slowly." Little Erdao.

A whole minced fish head with finely chopped red peppers makes people very greedy just by looking at it.

Take a little chopsticks and pick up a little crushed pepper and put it in your mouth, and it is immediately full of spicy and umami.

Taking advantage of the fact that the spicy taste on the tip of his tongue had not subsided, Fang Shuo picked up another piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, the fish was smooth and tender, and with the spicy aroma, Fang Shuo praised: "It's so delicious." ”

A plate of chopped pepper fish head, a bowl of sweet rice, and a cup of warm tea, how a cool word.

Walking out of the restaurant, Fang Shuo was satisfied, and said with endless aftertaste: "This Jingzhou is really a good place, alas, I was stupid before, I am really a frog at the bottom of a well." ”

When you have eaten your fill, you should take a walk to eliminate your appetite. On this street, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, Fang Shuo half-squinted, and also followed the crowd to hang out freely.

The vendors on both sides are next to each other, and the shops on the street are lined up one after another.

The people around him hugged him, and Fang Shuo raised his head and took a deep breath.

But as soon as he was halfway there, Fang Shuo suddenly felt a gloomy aura rushing towards him.

Opening his eyes, Fang Shuo was suddenly shocked: "Why does the worldly red dust have such a gloomy atmosphere? ”

Fang Shuo turned around and looked, and in front of him was a big mansion, with the word Song Mansion written on the door plaque.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Shuo muttered, "It seems that this is a rich and noble family, but how can there be a gloomy atmosphere?" ”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, who made you stand here? Hey, talk about you. ”

When he came back to his senses, Fang Shuo saw a tall middle-aged man in blue clothes on a white background pointing at him and shouting.

Fang Shuo said humbly: "Oh, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, please don't be surprised." ”

The tall middle-aged man was about to say a few more words, when someone suddenly stopped him behind him: "Yan Yuan, don't be rude." ”

I saw a gray-robed gentleman with a long beard and hosta and said to Fang Shuo: "Where you have offended, you still hope that Gongzi Haihan." ”

Fang Shuo replied: "It's all below, isn't it, what is sir?" ”

The gray-robed gentleman leaned sideways and asked, "If you don't give up, please sit in the son's mansion." ”

There was a gloomy atmosphere in this Song Mansion, and Fang Shuo wanted to go in and take a look. Listening to Mr. Gray Robe's invitation, Fang Shuo responded with a smile: "Then it is better to obey your fate." ”

Mr. Gray Robe said: "In the next surname Song, a single name is an an." I don't know what to call Childe? ”

Mr. Song was polite. In the lower surname, the single name is a Shuo character. Fang Shuo replied.

As soon as he entered the Song Mansion, Song An chatted with Fang Shuo enthusiastically.

"Fang Gongzi doesn't look like a local, but is he visiting relatives in Jingzhou?" Song An asked.

"Oh, no, no. Let Mr. Song smile, but in fact, he rarely goes out far away, and has been staying at home, idle, bored and panicked, so he came to Jingzhou to have a look. Fang Shuo said.

"There are many mountains in Jingzhou, although the climate is sultry, but the scenery is excellent, there is a lake and a floor, the beauty of a mountain and a city, Fang Gongzi might as well go and take a look." Song An proposed.

"Thank you Mr. Song for your advice, I'll set off early in the morning to have a look." Fang Shuo said.

Laughing and walking through a long corridor, Fang Shuo followed Song An to a small courtyard.

There is no grass or wood in this courtyard, and in the middle of it is a large incense burner as tall as a person. The four legs of this incense burner are strong and powerful, and the pillars have heavy eaves and flying corners, and the whole body is cast in bronze.

Fang Shuo stepped forward and said, "Hey, this incense burner is big enough. ”

Song An followed the mountain and said, "What, does Fang Gongzi think this incense burner is not good?" In fact, the censer was given to a friend next. It looks a little bigger, but this incense burner is cast quite divinely, and it is very exquisite everywhere, which is a rare high-quality. ”

Fang Shuo looked around the incense burner twice, and said with a smile: "This incense burner is indeed a rare top grade. My friend's friend must have put a lot of effort into getting it for him. ”

Song An laughed and said: "As the saying goes, etiquette is light and affection is heavy. On my birthday, my friend gave me this incense burner. At first, I also shirked for a while, but I really couldn't help it, so I accepted it. ”

Fang Shuo turned back to Mr. Song and said: "What a good incense burner, Mr. Song, I really like this incense burner very much, so I have a reluctant request, I don't know, can you give up your love to you?" No matter how much it costs, just ask. ”

Hearing Fang Shuo say this, Song An didn't know how to reply for a while: "Hey, this ......"

I wanted to invite Fang Shuo to have a cup of tea and make amends to him, but before he could talk a word, Fang Shuo was about to win people's love, and Song An immediately regarded Fang Shuo as a son of a certain family, and he was a little unhappy.

"There is a saying that a gentleman does not take away the love of others. Fang Gongzi, please forgive Song for not agreeing. Song An flatly refused.

Fang Shuo hurriedly apologized: "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm really embarrassed, please don't blame Mr. Song." When I saw something I liked, I was confused and said something bastard that shouldn't be said, Mr. Song, don't take it to heart. ”

Song An said casually: "Where, where, it's just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." ”

After simply drinking tea, Fang Shuo said goodbye to Song An.

Song An just exchanged a few polite words with Fang Shuo, and then sent him out of the house.

Walking out of the Song Mansion, Fang Shuo glanced back, frowned and muttered, "It seems that the water in this Jingzhou is also very mixed. ”
