A plum presses cold branches,

Why fight for spring.

Snow wrapped in silver,

I'm the reddest in the garden.

Since he is proud and cold,

How can a gentleman disturb himself!

----- (gorgeous dividing line)-----

The difference between the eastern continent and other continents is that there are many plains, except for the high mountains in the west and north, there are only a few mountain ranges in the entire continent, but each mountain range is also towering into the clouds, it is rumored that it is because the eastern continent is too peaceful, so these mountains are to suppress the eastern continent, otherwise when the sea breeze blows to the continent without obstruction, sooner or later the eastern continent will become a saline-alkali land.

Therefore, more than half of the coastal areas of the eastern continent are not close to the places where the population lives, but there is a long stretch of beach from the coastline to the place where the population lives, and the sand is very fine, and people on the beach often walk barefoot on the beach.

Because of the topography of the eastern continent, horse-drawn carriages are prevalent, and whether they are ordinary people or cultivators, there are many people who travel in horse-drawn carriages. Therefore, the unique cultural environment of the eastern continent is second to none in terms of poetry and songs.

This trend also prompted the cultivation direction of the Eastern Continent to be more inclined to the direction of both visual and visual aesthetics. Even most of the students from the original Eastern Continent of the Xiuzhentang Academy were involved in art forms and poetry and songs.

Along the way, she flew over with Zhu Wan'er in her arms, and heard a lot of Zhu Wan'er talking about the cultural customs of the Eastern Continent as if she was running away from home, but she did not mention her own family.

Song Pingzi didn't ask curiously, obviously feeling Zhu Wan'er's evasion, he wouldn't ask uninterestingly.

They descended into the air on the shore of the nearest coast near a straight line. Zhu Wan'er felt sorry for her lover's hard work of flying across the sea, and deliberately said that she was still a little tired, so she was going to rent a carriage in the nearest city, Meiyuan Town, and the two of them took the carriage to Donglin College.

In order to raise sea beasts, Donglin College also followed the example of Xiuzhentang College, and built the college not far from the sea, and Meiyuan Town is still a few days' walk away from Donglin College. If he flies away, it won't take much time, and with his cultivation in the early stage of the infant, even if he takes Zhu Wan'er with him, it will definitely not take half a day to fly.

However, Zhu Wan'er opened her mouth, and he naturally would not refuse.

The reason why the plum garden is still called a town, not like other cities, is because the plum garden is the symbol of the city. It is said that some people started planting plum blossoms in a small village in this area, and a large area was formed from generation to generation.

Later, the whole piece was bought and built with a brick wall, becoming the first plum garden. Even though you can see through the gaps, the beautiful scenery is encircled, and it is really itchy. As a result, more people began to plant plum blossoms, and slowly this town became a very famous plum garden town. Later, the population increased and it slowly became a city, but the name remained the same.

Entering from the city gate, Song Pingzi saw so many plum gardens for the first time, and it seemed that everyone had followed the practice of encircling plum blossoms in a range, even if it was an ordinary ordinary family, one or two plum blossoms would be planted in the small courtyard. I really don't have a place to plant them, so I'll get some potted plants.

"Every time the fruit plum bears fruit, according to the students of the college, every household will brew some plum wine, and when the flowers bloom in the coming year, the plum wine will be drunk in the plum garden, and the poems and songs will be full of the fragrance of the city, which is very lively. Unfortunately, we have not come at the right time, neither the flowering season nor the time to pick fruits. Zhu Wan'er was in a good mood, and she also told her lover about the liveliness of Meiyuan Town that she knew.

Song Pingzi looked at Zhu Wan'er who was full of interest since she entered the city, and often pulled him to look left and right, where she looked tired, but seeing that Zhu Wan'er was very interested, he was also happy to match. was looking at the female red jewelry with Zhu Wan'er in a store, and a surprise call came from behind him, "Wan'er, why are you here?" ”

"Li Zesen, why are you here?" Zhu Wan'er turned around and saw a man in a fancy costume appear in front of her, the two of them were not in the academy, neither of them was wearing the uniform white uniform of the academy, but they were each wearing their favorite clothes. From this point of view, the person who came was not an ordinary disciple, but a family or sect sent to Donglin Academy.

"My home is from Plum Garden Town! You forgot! Li Zesen's excited expression immediately changed slightly, obviously being forgotten by the other party about his hometown was not a disappointment, but a loss. This shows that she has no status and space in Zhu Wan'er's heart at all, otherwise she doesn't even remember that her hometown is Meiyuan Town.

"I'm sorry, I really don't remember." Zhu Wan'er was a little apologetic, but when she heard it, she knew that it was polite, not really that she had any guilt or guilt for forgetting Li Zesen's hometown.

In fact, she didn't really remember, but she really didn't remember it just now, and she didn't want to have too much contact with Li Zesen, and she still had her lover Song Pingzi by her side, so she wouldn't be willing to deal with it.

To say that Li Zesen's origin is not very ordinary, the largest plum garden in the city of Meiyuan Town now belongs to the City Lord's Mansion, and Li Zesen's uncle is the city lord of Meiyuan Town.

The city lord's name is Li Xianhua, although he is an ordinary person, he has also been accepted as a registered disciple by the Aurora Sect, a super sect in the eastern continent, just like the Southern Continent. Li Zesen of the Li family's generation is the first male, and when he was born, the city lord's wife, Lin, raised him in the city lord's mansion and became the son of the city lord.

Li Zesen was pampered by his parents and uncles and aunts since he was a child, and he liked to join in the fun, because the family conditions were not bad, and he was protected and spoiled by the elders, and later he was sent to Donglin College through Zhu Qiguo, where he was located, and his surprising cultivation qualifications were still middle and upper, which was also a great blessing for the Li family.

Because I heard that Zhu Wan'er had gone to sea in the academy, I had long admired Zhu Wan'er, but I couldn't find a chance to get close to currying favor. I don't know when Zhu Wan'er will come back, but I also want to go home on leave this time. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to Meiyuan Town, he ran into Zhu Wan'er with another man, looking at Zhu Wan'er's bird-like appearance, his heart was inexplicably sad, so he stepped forward, but he didn't want to warm his face but didn't get a reciprocal response.

Thinking of seeing Zhu Wan'er and the man walking on the street talking and laughing just now, Li Zesen was so angry in his heart! Regardless of Zhu Wan'er's coldness, she looked at the man beside her and asked, "Who is this..... It's very face-to-face! ”

Zhu Wan'er didn't wait for Song Pingzi to answer, so she preemptively said, "This is my friend, from the Southern Continent Xiuzhen Hall Academy. Then he introduced Song Pingzi: "This is Li Zesen, and I am a bachelor of Donglin College." ”

As soon as Li Zesen heard Zhu Wan'er's introduction, he did not explain Song Pingzi's identity in the academy, thinking that he was still a student, and said: "I dare to go from the Southern Continent to the Eastern Continent before I graduate, I am not small!" ”

Originally, Song Pingzi saw Zhu Wan'er's attitude, and knew that he didn't want to intersect with the other party more, so he didn't interject, but at this time, because of Li Zesen's questioning, Zhu Wan'er introduced it, and he was ready to say hello to the other party normally. But as soon as Li Zesen's unbelievable painting came out, Song Pingzi had no good impression of the person in front of him at all. "Wan'er, aren't you tired? Let's find a place to rent the carriage first, and if you still want to go shopping, I'll match you. ”

"Hmm" Zhu Wan'er also wished to leave this uninteresting Li Zesen earlier, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Li Zesen on the side touched a nail again, and it was still in Meiyuan Town, of course, it couldn't be just counted. Licking her face, she said, "Wan'er turned out to be tired when she came back from going to sea, so why don't you go to the City Lord's Mansion and my house for a short rest." When the time comes, I will arrange for the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion to return to the academy together. ”

"No need, Li Gongzi, you are busy with your own. In addition, we don't know each other, don't call me Wan'er, my name is Zhu Wan'er. Zhu Wan'er saw that Li Zesen still looked uninteresting, and her tone and face changed. Pulling up Song Pingzi and walking forward, the big black dog rushed at Li Zesen and stepped back, kicked up the dust, and chased the two of them.

Li Zesen's face was not only ugly, but even more angry, and a dog dared to bully him. But he can't be rude in front of him in the city, otherwise it will be too incompatible with his image as the son of the city lord's mansion.

Just when a pair of patrolling City Lord's Mansion guards came over, he stepped forward to stop him, showed his City Lord's Mansion token, stopped the other party and did not let him salute, but quietly commanded a few words in the ears of the guards who led the team, and then went to the City Lord's Mansion with satisfaction.

The entire Meiyuan Town belongs to his Li family, as long as he gives an order, who else dares to rent a carriage for them.

Zhu Wan'er didn't want to leave immediately, although she was interrupted by Li Zesen, but after walking away, she saw that Li Zesen didn't follow, and pulled Song Pingzi to start shopping, eating and walking along the way, and seemed to have forgotten about renting a carriage at all.

It wasn't until night fell that Zhu Wan'er seemed to remember the purpose of renting a carriage in the city, and said to Song Pingzi a little embarrassed: "Song Lang, I forgot about the business when I was happy." ”

"It's okay, it's not urgent. If you don't want to go at night, let's find a shop to stay in, and if you still want to go shopping tomorrow, you can go again, and if you don't want to go shopping, we can also set off. Song Pingzi said softly with a smile.

"Well, it's all up to Song Lang's arrangement."
