Hearing the sound of the carriage, Lin Manliu looked at the window edge of the carriage. But at this time, on the edge of the window, how could there be any little girl with pigtails, and the young man in the short shirt was about to ask, but Ye Dang coughed lightly before stopping the young man's movements.

And Shen Xiaodao, who was in the carriage, was already lying in the car, falling asleep...

"In the past two days, can you see clearly?" Ye Dang said when he heard the words. Lin Manliu responded: "The Taoism of this mountain and stone view will all be reversed... After Shen Xiaodao threw stones and asked for directions, it was like this... ”

"If you know, why ask? Moreover... Didn't Lin Daxia not believe in these Taoism? The old liar in the yellow shirt laughed.

"That's not ... As Shen Xiaodao said earlier, about the follow-up return to Hangzhou... Lin Manliu explained awkwardly.

"This meets the old man again, and turns evil into good fortune... Lin Daxia cares, it's not the latter, right? Ye Dang listened to the explanation of the short-shirted young man beside him, and looked sideways at the young man of the imperial horse, with an extremely playful smile.

As soon as these words came out, the short-shirted boy was speechless, so he had to pull the reins of Xiao Huang and urge the little yellow horse under him to hurry.

The yellow-shirted figure also snorted proudly, waved his hand and raised his whip, and continued to rush to the mountain road in front of the royal horse.

。。。。。。 Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting took Shen Xiaodao with him, but they were about to enter the Jiangning realm in two days.

The carriage and the yellow horse tread through the shallow grass in the fields, through the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road, and after a few more streams, a light appeared in the mountains and forests ahead.

Seems to be an exit? As Ye Dang snorted, the carriage and the little yellow horse on its side accelerated together.

When they passed through the light, their vision suddenly opened up, and a city could be seen not far away.

Arrived, Jiangning Mansion. The surrounding area was no longer filled with the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests, and it became a little quiet for a while.

Shen Xiaodao, who had been sitting in the carriage before, seemed to be aware of the changes around him. Her head poked out of the window again, and she smiled slightly as she looked at the scenery around her, as if she was extremely satisfied with the scenery in front of her.

"Today, it should be the place where Shen Xiaodao said before, 'meet the old man again'!" Ye Dang said loudly when he heard it.

Obviously, this was not said by Shen Xiaodao, but with Lin Manliu. The little girl with pigtails also looked at the young man in the short shirt who was riding the horse at the same time.

There were two people beside him, one made a joke, and the other stared intently, which made Lin Manliu feel uncomfortable. For a while, he couldn't think of any way, and he scolded this old liar in a yellow shirt back and forth.

"Anyway, it's just passing by... After purchasing materials in the city, we immediately set off and set off to return to Hangzhou! The short-shirted boy said hesitantly.

"Well, it's true that the matter of returning to Hangzhou is extremely important, and we can't let Shen Xiaodao follow us and delay on this road for too long... Ye Dangting immediately answered the phone.

Lin Manliu knew that whatever he said now would be handled by this old liar, so he had to continue to keep silent.

Most of the magnates and merchants in this place are Yanyang, and the merchants in this place of commerce and trade are much less than those in other states and counties.

After entering Jiangning, the appearance and attire of the three people inevitably made others suspicious. At Ye Dang's suggestion, he had to find an inn to live in and replace the weapons on his body.

"It's a bumpy road, and later... I was in the inn, taking care of the blades and these utensils, and Shen Xiaodao and the little liar went around! The yellow-shirted figure lay down on the couch leisurely, and gave his thoughts to the boy in the shirt and the little girl with pigtails.

"Okay... Lin Manliu glanced at it with disdain, and the leisurely Ye Dang listened. However, in his heart, he understood his intentions, and he was more convinced than himself of the method of throwing stones and asking for directions in the mountain stone view.

Then this asks about the first four words of the eight characters

"Meet the old man again", for Lin Manliu, the purchase of utensils all the way in Jiangning City this time is an opportunity.

From Ye Dang listening to the command to following Lin Manliu out of the inn, Shen Xiaodao didn't say a word.

seems to be just silently accepting the arrangement between the two, but her inaction is not confirming herself

The method of "throwing stones to ask for directions".

"Today's Jiang Ning and his entourage, I still have to thank Shen Xiaodao!" Lin Manliu saw that the little girl with pigtails beside him had been speechless, and spoke to herself.

Shen Xiaodao put his hands behind his back, looked casually on the street, and after listening to the young man's words, she also answered.

"Hey... Don't worry, even if I don't meet the two of you, presumably Ye Erzhuang, the owner, will let you stay in Jiangning for a while... The short-shirted boy hummed, and walked around the market together.

Lin Manliu only walked around the city for a while and found that this Jiangning City was worthy of being the place where the powerful people of Yanyang and their businessmen gathered.

The streets and alleys are selling jewelry and gold ornaments, and the people on both sides are shouting and selling business, either restaurants or some places where the literati are elegant.

It's different from all the counties that Lin Manliu has traveled before... However, it may also be that the short-shirted boy didn't go to the prosperous places of those counties because he was only in a hurry all the way.

Previously, the little girl with pigtails was looking at the sugar gourds sold by a vendor on the street, and Lin Manliu had the idea of not neglecting the noble man in front of him.

I had to take out the silver money from the already shriveled money bag and buy a sugar gourd for this Shen Xiaodao chief.

The little girl waved two strings of sugar gourds in her hands, and the whole person was about to jump up happily, spun around in front of the short-shirted boy, and finally stopped in front of him, showing a smile.

Looking at the fact that this Shen Xiaodao is not as old as him, maybe a little younger. But when talking to the old liar in the yellow shirt, and mentioning some things that care about the follow-up direction, the words of the two are always mysterious and secretive, which makes Lin Manliu a little unpredictable.

But now it seems that after all, it's just a little girl... Shen Xiaodao seemed to notice Lin Manliu's speechlessness, tilted his head to the young man, and said loudly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Uh... It's okay, Shen Xiaodao eats well... The short-shirted boy immediately responded. The little girl with pigtails looked at Lin Manliu's reply, sighed, and then looked at the two strings of sugar gourds in her hands, one on the left and one on the right.

After comparing it repeatedly, he handed the smaller string to the young man in front of him.

"Give!"

"Huh?"

"Don't you think it's delicious?"

"It's not..." The short-shirted boy said, awkwardly taking the string of smaller sugar gourds from the little girl with pigtails.

Looking at Lin Manliu's shy appearance, Shen Xiaodao couldn't hold back any longer, and his free hand began to beat his lower abdomen.

The whole person laughed in front of the short-shirted boy. Lin Manliu, who was just about to bite a hawthorn into his mouth, looked at the scene in front of him and immediately put the sugar gourd back.

The young man said hesitantly: "There is so... It's funny... ”

"Hey, forget it, I won't tease you!" The little girl with pigtails laughed, and after finishing speaking, she bit off the hawthorn ball on the sugar gourd.

Then came the sound of chewing and a slight laugh from its mouth. Lin Manliu followed behind the little girl, looked at the bouncing figure in front of him, and also bit down a hawthorn and put it in his mouth.

This string of sugar gourds is small, but it does not look sour after entering the mouth, and the faint sweet fragrance is wrapped in the sugar coating, and the aftertaste is endless in the young man's mouth.

It's delicious... The little girl with pigtails in front of her had already walked forward, crossed a street and alleyway, and was about to walk to the right.

But just as she was about to turn the corner, for some reason, this Shen Xiaodao turned his head to look at the short-shirted young man behind her.

found that this Lin Manliu was just silently following him... The little girl with pigtails snorted, then stepped back, and walked straight in front of the boy.

Lin Manliu was a little stunned by this move, and he didn't know what the meaning of the little girl in front of him was.

"What's wrong with Shen Xiaodao? But what is there to buy ... The short-shirted boy asked.

With a sigh from the little girl, she directly pulled the corner of the young man's clothes and looked towards the right side of the alley.

Lin Manliu looked in the direction where he was being pulled. Directly in front of him were some vendors selling pearls and jade, nothing strange, but when the boy looked at the shop behind him.

。。 A different storefront from the previous restaurants and tea rooms appeared, with no plaques or ornate decorations, just a half-hidden side door.

Outside the side door, there is a small standing sign with three characters written on it

"Yueji Zhai"... Lin Manliu was a little incredulous, and immediately turned his head to look at the little girl with pigtails beside him.

Shen Xiaodao looked at the appearance of the short-shirted young man beside him, and snorted twice, as if telling the young man that this is true!

The short-shirted boy nodded, and walked through the stall selling pearls and jade, and walked in the direction of Yuejizhai.

Lin Manliu knocked lightly twice with his hand on the half-hidden side door. Then there was a slightly old and tired voice in the room: "Come in... "It's a familiar voice.

。。 It's the old woman that the short-shirted boy met in Juzhou City! Lin Manliu pushed the door in, and saw the familiar face behind the counter, and sure enough, it was the old woman who sold her golden soufflé in Juzhou City.

。。 The light in the room was dim, and the old woman didn't seem to see the young man's appearance clearly. The familiar words of the young man were muttered in his mouth: "The pastries in the store... Three articles and one mention... I don't have any nice snacks... Let's take a look... ”

"Mother-in-law, it's me..." The boy in the short shirt said loudly. The woman, who was still trembling and speaking, seemed to recognize the young man's voice, and raised her eyes to look at Lin Manliu by the door.

For a moment, neither of them was speechless. Lin Manliu muttered in his heart, this is the old man again.

。 Although he is not the person he originally expected, he is also the person he saw on his first journey. Now it's a blessing to meet again.

。。

"It's really a blessing to be able to see my mother-in-law in Jiangning today!"
