Meiyuan Town is not small, mainly because there are too many plum gardens, and the city wall is expanding again and again.

But no matter how the city expands, the center remains the same. Because it is the city lord's mansion, it must be the center of the city.

From the layout, it can be seen that the whole city has been expanded three times, and this large-scale expansion makes the streets and distribution of the city clearly visible traces of history.

The whole city is distributed in a ring, even so, there is a plum blossom avenue in Meiyuan Town, which is lined with plum trees, and plum blossoms with cuttings and mutations bloom all year round, although these plum blossoms do not bear fruit, it is also a great beauty of Meiyuan Town.

Song Pingzi and Zhu Wan'er chose a big gate with two potted plum blossom hotels, and the name of the hotel is also very interesting, called "Shimei Xuan". Located in the central area of Meiyuan Town, the buildings of the hotel are all quaint courtyard houses or small buildings, which look quaint and luxurious, and as expected, there are various plum blossoms in front of each courtyard or small building. These ornamental plum blossoms are not like the normal flowering season, but have their own varieties, ensuring that there are plum blossoms in full bloom all year round, and they open in turn, so that Meiyuan Town is worthy of the name of the plum capital.

Thinking of this, Song Pingzi probably knew why Meiyuan Town wanted to follow this name instead of choosing the title Meidu. However, what surprised Song Pingzi the most was that the hotel did not accept spirit stones, only gold and silver, and the price was not cheap. The price of one day in the Nandu Continent can make a family of a few people live for a month, except for the plum blossoms that can be seen everywhere, the others are actually not much different from the hotels in other cities, and there is no such thing as the best service.

After staying in "Shi Meixuan", the two sat in the courtyard embracing each other, and at this time the silence was more like a sound.

The big black dog quietly beckoned the gold-seeking rat to come out of the wall. If it weren't for the fact that it had hidden some gold and silver, the little master wouldn't even have the money to live in this Meiyuan Town. There is a golden rat looking for it, so naturally you have to find a way to come back by the way. And the goal has been set, it is the City Lord's Mansion of Meiyuan Town not far away.

Although this was just a coincidence, the big black dog that returned brought two pieces of news that puzzled Song Pingzi. This Li Zesen is actually the son of the City Lord's Mansion, but it doesn't seem to be in person. Another piece of news is that Li Zesen actually notified all the post stations and carriage dealers in the city that they could rent out carriages, and it was strictly forbidden to rent them to outsiders during this time.

Song Pingzi didn't care at all, the habits of the Eastern Continent had nothing to do with him, if it weren't for Zhu Wan'er's request, the carriage would be a burden to him. However, it also made him a little contemptuous of Li Zesen's personality.

On the second day, before the two of them got up, there was a knock on the door outside the small courtyard. Song Pingzi put on his robe, briefly combed it, and opened the courtyard door to see that it was not the owner of the hotel and Xiao Er, but a stranger.

"Who are you looking for?" Song Pingzi asked suspiciously, thinking that the other party was in the wrong place.

"It's Song Gongzi! I am Zhu Wan'er's senior, Zeng Changfeng, and I am also a bachelor of Donglin College. I heard that Zhu Wan'er arrived in Meiyuan Town, and a friend was invited to a grand party, so I specially invited Zhu Wan'er and Song Gongzi to participate together. The person who came seemed polite, and Song Pingzi couldn't see the other party's personality on the surface, but his words and deeds were polite, and it was inconvenient to refuse in person.

Ask the other party later, and then return to the house and tell Zhu Wan'er. When Zhu Wan'er heard that it was Zeng Changfeng, there was no disgust on her face, and she immediately got up to freshen up, which made Song Pingzi feel a little relieved.

Immediately, Song Pingzi came out, and Qing Zeng Changfeng first went to the courtyard stone bench to sit down and chat. I learned that a group of young people in the city happened to be invited to a flower-viewing poetry party today, so I came here on purpose. As for how he knew that Zhu Wan'er was in Meiyuan Town, and this Zeng Changfeng also bluntly said that he came to Li Zesen to send someone to deliver the letter last night, and he came overnight, and the flower-viewing poetry meeting was really ordinary in Meiyuan Town, and it was not a temporary organization.

In less than half a cup of tea, Zhu Wan'er came out of the house, Song Pingzi was a little surprised to see Zeng Changfeng's eyes, he received a message from Li Zesen in the middle of the night last night, and thought it was a mistake, and he rushed to see Li Zesen in the City Lord's Mansion overnight to confirm the facts, and he was very surprised. Although Zhu Wan'er's identity is not publicized on weekdays, he knows it, although it is not noble in the cultivation world, but he is not a person who has never seen the market, why he has not seen him for more than ten days, and he actually flew with a strange man.

At this time, seeing that Zhu Wan'er was dressed properly, she slowly walked out of the house that Song Pingzi came out of just now, which also confirmed that what Li Zesen said was not false, and she secretly sweated in her heart.

"I've seen the senior." Without waiting for Zeng Changfeng to speak, Zhu Wan'er first said hello.

Seeing this, Zeng Changfeng knew that Zhu Wan'er was reminding him of something, so he bowed his hand and said, "I've seen Miss Wan'er, it's a coincidence to come early in the morning to disturb me, and I hope you'll forgive me." ”

"It's okay, Song Lang and I are also going to hang out today, there are seniors here, but I can feel more at ease." Zhu Wan'er has something to say.

Song Pingzi listened to the conversation between the two, and knew that it was inconvenient to say something directly, so he said: "Wan'er, you sit with your senior for a while, and I'll sort it out." Then he said sorry to Zeng Changfeng and went into the house to change clothes.

But although Song Pingzi's movements deliberately slowed down, she didn't wait long, and Song Wan'er returned to the house here, took a comb and straightened Song Pingzi's hair, with a satisfied smile on her face.

"What are you so happy about?" Song Pingzi saw this scene from the bronze mirror and asked softly.

"Senior Zeng went to arrange the carriage, and after a while we had breakfast in the store, we took the carriage over together." Zhu Wan'er didn't say the reason, but talked about the itinerary.

"What kind of party is the Flower Poetry Festival?"

"It's just a group of idle people who have enough to eat and have nothing to do, and we'll just go and see it later."

"In that case, it doesn't really make sense, so why go?"

"It's your first time coming to the Eastern Continent, and it's good to learn about the humanities. If Song Lang doesn't want to, I'll tell the senior in a while, and we'll go back to Donglin Academy directly. ”

"Wan'er's arrangement is heartfelt, not to mention that you have already promised your senior, let's go and have a look! There is no urgency left or right. ”

"Song Lang has any research on poetry and songs?" Zhu Wan'er tied Song Pingzi's hair in a bun, looked at the bronze mirror against Song Pingzi's face and asked.

"I haven't studied it, but I've seen a lot of poetry and songs. I can barely know some common sense, so that I will not be blind and deaf. "Song Pingzi is also telling the truth, Xiuzhentang Academy also has students who work in this kind of way, and if you want to say that you are well-read, with the experience of Song Pingcun and Song Er, you are really not afraid of daily response.

The two quickly went out, Zhu Wan'er held Song Pingzi's arm, and the two walked out of the "Shimei Xuan" side by side, Zeng Changfeng was already waiting at the door.

At this time, the sky is clear, and it is not a city named after plum, and the plum blossoms that are not in season are still fragrant and pleasant. In fact, the carriage was only tea time, and along the way, Zeng Changfeng didn't treat Zhu Wan'er like a senior to a junior, and he didn't say much, even if he spoke, he was cautious.

The carriage stopped, and Song Pingzi got out of the carriage only to find that in this place called "Plum Garden", there were actually more than a dozen carriages parked. Judging from the decoration on the carriage, all of them are either rich or expensive.

I don't know if it's because of the relationship between the city lord's mansion to which Meiyuan belongs, or because of the extravagance in the eastern continent.

There were a few attendants waiting at the gate of the plum garden, Zhu Wan'er got out of the car and still held Song Pingzi's arm, and the attendants in front led the way, all the way forward, sure enough, it was the original and largest plum garden in Meiyuan Town, and the plum varieties they saw in the city yesterday were almost all missing, and there were many that had never been seen.

People are in the garden, plum is on their side, the fragrance is fragrant, and it can make people intoxicated in an instant. If it's not a private garden, it's a place where everyone lingers.

It took them a stick of incense to reach their destination today, an artificial lake, where the waterfront pavilions extend out from the plum blossoms, which makes people feel that it is a kind of beauty in the painting.

After they entered, people walked out of the plum blossom forest next to them one after another, and then entered the pavilion in the lake from the corridor, and Zeng Changfeng introduced everyone to Song Pingzi. Not surprisingly, Li Zesen is also among them, and there is still a woman who is also the young lady of the city lord's mansion, dressed in white, but embroidered a few plum blossoms on the neckline, cuffs and skirt, fresh and refined, like a plum fairy. Zeng Changfeng introduced that it was Li Zexue, the daughter of the city lord, and she was also the protagonist and initiator of this flower-viewing poetry meeting.

Li Zesen stood behind Li Zexue, and when he saw Zhu Wan'er holding Song Pingzi and appeared, his face was a little unnatural, and his eyes couldn't hide the loss. But he was able to control it and didn't show it on the spot, but he still maintained the etiquette of a "master" for Zhu Wan'er's coldness.

Among the more than 20 people, in addition to the young ladies and young celebrities of several families in the city, there are actually four or five bachelors from Donglin College. I learned between the words that they all came from Donglin College overnight. This made Song Pingzi more curious about the identity of the woman around him, if he didn't have karma and knew his true identity, he might still be a little cramped, but at this time, he was not at all comfortable.

Because Li Zesen only said to Zeng Changfeng that Song Pingzi was a student of Xiuzhentang Academy when he sent letters and met before, Zeng Changfeng did not specifically introduce Song Pingzi's identity, but only said that it was Zhu Wan'er's friend, from Xiuzhentang Academy in the southern continent, which was very decent.

But in the eyes of everyone, especially the several bachelors of Donglin Academy, Song Pingzi is about a fresh graduate, and every year the graduating students have a year to find the eighteen forbidden places that have disappeared, so it is not that there are no students who come to the Eastern Continent from the Southern Continent.

It's just that Zhu Wan'er and Song Pingzi's intimacy made everyone a little curious, and after not seeing each other for more than ten days, such an intimate opposite sex suddenly appeared.

No matter how you guess, but at least these words can only be said in private, after Zhu Wan'er and Song Pingzi appeared, everyone's appearance was still polite.

Song Pingzi didn't care about the truth or falsehood of these people's attitudes at all, anyway, he came to take a look, and there was no need to have a relationship.
