As the seasons shift, winter is coming.

Mei Changsu was weak and afraid of the cold, but he did not nest in the snow house, but held a hand warmer and walked through the streets of this familiar and unfamiliar city.

The city is still the same city, but many people are stuck in the city's past.

He is like a tourist who does not do a strategy, walking around the city at will, stepping on bluestone slabs, following the flow of people, as if he is being coerced by the crowd.

In the endless flow of people, Feiliu guarded in front of him.

If you pull the camera up and look down, it is not difficult to see that there are still some guards scattered around.

On a street corner, he stopped.

Further on, it is the old mansion of the Lin family.

From the mouths of his subordinates, he already knew that the Lin Mansion, which used to be full of traffic and people, was now a desolate land overgrown with weeds and deliberately avoided by the locals.

"Brother Su?" Feiliu tilted his head, looked at him curiously, and looked around again, why did Brother Su stop here? Is there something fun?

This call pulled Mei Changsu out of his memory.

"Nothing. Feiliu, hungry? ”

"Hmmm! Hungry! Very hungry! Feiliu replied earnestly, his eyes full of longing.

"Then let's eat noodles, just that noodle stall, it looks like business is quite good." Mei Changsu refers to a street stall, where you can see steaming water vapor from a distance, and you can faintly smell the fragrance of white noodles.

Feiliu is a well-behaved baby, not a picky eater, and nods his head again and again.

The two came to the front of the stall, the store was a kind-looking old man, and there were two people next to him to help knead the dough to greet the guests, looking like the old man's children.

"Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?"

"Two bowls of mutton noodles."

"Okay! You sit down for a while, and you'll be right away. ”

The business of this noodle stall is really good, there is not even an empty table, Mei Changsu and Feiliu can only share a table with two customers.

Two bowls of steaming lamb noodles were quickly served.

Mei Changsu took a sip of milky mutton soup first, and his face was nostalgic, it was still a familiar taste.

He didn't choose this noodle stall randomly, when he was still Lin Shu, he was already a frequent customer of this shop, and the owner was not a little old man at that time.

I lowered my head and savored the taste of my childhood, chewing carefully one bite at a time.

Infected by him, Feiliu, who was originally trembling and moving a lot, also slowed down his movements.

The meal was not short, and by the time they finished eating, the peak of the noodle stall had passed.

During this period, a wave of gangsters dressed up came, and the shopkeepers said a lot of good things, and they swaggered away with the filial piety money and walked to the next stall.

Mei Changsu got up to pay the bill, and he was not in a hurry to leave, and chatted with the store.

"Old man, your house should be a time-honored brand in Jinling. Your noodles are so good, I haven't eaten better anywhere else. ”

Mei Changsu's dress doesn't look like an ordinary person, the nobles praised it, and the store was worried, but he couldn't help but show a sincere smile: "Thank you, distinguished guest, for your compliment." ”

"Is Jinling's business good?"

"Hey, the world is difficult, and you can make a lot of money." Speaking of which, not only the shopkeeper, but also his children showed a bitter color.

"Actually, our business is good, and the neighbors are used to eating our noodles. It's just that there are too many hands. The shopkeeper's son looked like he was in his early twenties, he should be an old man, and he couldn't help but complain a few words.

The shopkeeper changed color, turned around and scolded a few words, so frightened that his son shrank back to work, and then changed his smile to Mei Changsu and said: "Honorable guests, the child is young, and sometimes he speaks without his head." People can't be too greedy, and it's actually enough to have a stable life now. ”

Mei Changsu echoed with a smile: "Compared with the border pass, Jinling is indeed much more peaceful. ”

Emperor Wen of Liang cut off his arm, and without the Lin family and the Red Flame Army, all the border countries have been ready to move all these years.

Dayu is the most aggressive, that is, he was severely defeated by the Red Flame Army in Meiling more than ten years ago, and suffered a big loss, so that he broke his muscles and bones, and he has been quiet and well-behaved in the past ten years.

But....

After so many years, the rest and recuperation are almost over, and he has calculated that in two years, the strength of Dayu should return to the level of more than ten years ago.

The war is near.

"Hey, old man, are you done? Is business good today? ”

Seeing the visitor, the shopkeeper's expression became more enthusiastic, and he smiled apologetically at Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu naturally didn't care, and stood aside and watched Old Man Xu greet someone.

The person who came was a middle-aged woman, slightly chubby, and her facial features were not outstanding, but she felt very kind when she smiled.

There is a wooden plaque hanging from his waist, with a few words engraved on it, Century Jiayuan.

It turned out to be the matchmaker of Jiayuan Pavilion of the century.

Century Jiayuan Pavilion is a business name that rose seven years ago, only doing one main business and matchmaking.

I heard that it was on the path of a certain prince, and this business developed smoothly, and the relationship between the officials was handled very well.

Of course, it is inevitable to spend money on relationships.

There are two main reasons why Mei Changsu has an impression of this business.

Jiang Zuomeng under his command, many old singles relied on the matchmaker in this business to introduce them to get off the list.

The matchmaker is professional, the fee is transparent, and the action efficiency is extremely high, and those who have used it say that it is good.

Marriage is a major event in life, no wonder the old man Xu is so enthusiastic and respectful in the face of this person.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and give your Aunt Wang water. Old Man Xu's son nodded, hurriedly took a clean bowl, poured a bowl of hot soup and sent it over.

The woman who was called Aunt Wang thanked her, picked up the mutton soup and took a sip, even praising the taste.

Old Man Xu said a few words with him, looking at Aunt Wang's eyes with some expectation.

"Let's get down to business, Old Man Xu, this is a list that I have carefully selected based on the conditions and requirements you put forward before. There are some simple information about them on it, you and Ling Lang will take a look at it first, and I will give you a detailed introduction if you like it. ”

Mei Changsu glanced at Old Man Xu's son, and saw that although he was hiding aside, his ears were pricked up, and his eyes were floating to this side from time to time, and the Ling Lang in the matchmaker's mouth should be him.

Old Man Xu took it gratefully, beckoned to his son, and motioned for him to come over.

An old man and a young man were close together, opened the booklet, and then their faces slowly turned red.

The word knows them, they don't know it.

Aunt Wang covered her mouth and chuckled, just about to reach out and take it back and read it to them herself, Mei Changsu spoke first: "Shop, if you don't dislike it, I'll help you refer to it?" ”

No other intentions, just a whim.

Old Man Xu got up and bowed to thank him, and handed over the booklet with both hands.

Mei Changsu took the booklet and opened it.

He didn't care at first, but when he looked at it, he became a lot more serious, and raised his eyes to look at Aunt Wang.

"Old man Xu, let me read it to you, this first girl, surnamed Wang, is the third in the family, and there are two brothers on it..."

After reading it, Old Man Xu asked a few more questions, and then took his son to thank him with a thousand words, and then the two apologized and walked aside to discuss.

After the matchmaker finished drinking the soup, she came over with a smile, and took a step forward to block Mei Changsu.

Aunt Wang took a step back in a witting manner, distanced herself, and said enthusiastically: "This son, take the liberty of asking, is the son married?" ”

As soon as she came, she noticed Mei Changsu, the cloak woven with white fox fur and the jade worn around her waist, she looked like a child from a rich family.

And most importantly, grow well!

According to the standards of Jiayuan Pavilion, this is already the most high-end "mediocre" level.

If you are fated to win this order, not to mention this year's performance, next year's performance can also be completed in advance.

Mei Changsu smiled and waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I've been married for many years, and I have two children." ”

He said this set of words very smoothly.

Without him, only familiar ears.

This is not the first matchmaker in Jiayuan Pavilion to come up and ask him, in fact, when he was in Jiangzuo, he has always lived in a simple place, hiding behind the scenes as an old silver coin, and there are not many outsiders who have seen him.

The only few times he went out to hang out, he was asked three times by the matchmaker.

When this matter was reported back to Jiang Zuomeng, it was also treated as a joke by several henchmen, and he said it several times behind his back.

Unexpectedly, he went from Jiangzuo to Jinling, but he still couldn't escape this fate.

Under the pity of Wang Po, he and Feiliu got up and left.

After a long walk today, he is also a little tired, and it is time to go back.

On the side of the competition, Emperor Liang Wen should have received the gift he sent.
