"Good afternoon, all the guest officers, then, let's not tell the story in the book today. Let's first talk about a major incident that happened recently in our Golden Scale City! Speaking of this incident, you must have heard it all over! In front of this Confucius Temple, one person fought Liu Ziwen, two pairs defeated Bai Gongzi, and three steps flew over Xuanwu Lake to capture the thief with iron hands! However, what my Lao Li wants to tell everyone, it's not the true and false things you hearsay, my Lao Li was on the scene that day, the miraculous three-step leaping lake, the iron hand to capture the thief, I saw it with my own eyes. It was noon, in Lao Li's teahouse, everyone was tired all morning, and the sun entered the teahouse early, called a pot of tea, and waited for one of the few relaxing moments of the day.

"It is said that there is such a family in this Golden Scale City, there is a strange girl in this family of three brothers and sisters, her fingers do not touch the spring water, she does not love female red and does not paint, she catches the thief with a horse and whip, flies in a fish suit, wears a goose feather knife, holds it in her hand, and the black cloak is fluttering and sassy. The two eyes are stars in the sky, the legs are comparable to the green horses, the two brothers often accompany her, the martial arts are strong and the ability is great, the power in front of the Confucius Temple, and the good story is spread on the shore of Xuanwu Lake. Hehe, if you want to ask what her name is, Shen Xiaoyu, then, yes, she ........." Old man Li fanned the fan, held the purple clay pot, shook his head and started the day's work again.

.....................

In a small house by the Qinhuai River

"Ah~Qiu~~, hmph, it must be Wei Wuxian's big annoyance who said bad things about me again. Xiao Yu'er touched his nose and said to himself.

After a pause, she ran from her room to the kitchen with a bucket of water. But as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the second brother was still frying the melon seeds there, so he was angry and didn't fight anywhere.

"Second brother, are your poo melon seeds more important than your sister!!"

Xiao Yu'er roared at her brother.

"Eh, what's the hurry, when my brother succeeds, you'll fall in love with it right away. Shen Qiye held a spatula in his hand, stir-frying the pumpkin seeds in the pot back and forth, and replied without raising his head.

"Do you want to watch your fragrant sister stink!! get out, get out quickly!" Xiao Yu'er didn't want to wait, put the bucket down, and was about to push his brother out.

"Okay, okay, good, I'll put the melon seeds on the plate and go out. Shen Qiye hurriedly brought the plate and poured the golden melon seeds fried in the pot onto the plate. I grabbed a small bench and ran out in a hurry.

Out of his own door, the eldest brother Shen Ye was already sitting on the steps. Seeing that Shen Qiye was coming, he took the stool, put the wine jug up, put the two small bowls away, poured the wine, and sat down on the stone steps.

Shen Qiye closed the door unhurriedly, put a plate of melon seeds on the small stool, and sat down paralyzed with Shen Ye.

"Big brother, try my new invention, fried melon seeds!" Shen Qiye grabbed a handful and handed it to the eldest brother Shen Ye's hand.

But Shen Ye, who caught the melon seeds, felt as hot in his brain as the melon seeds in his hand, and he didn't know what to do with this thing?

"Oh, forget, brother, look at me, take one like this, put one end between the front teeth, bite it gently, and eat the ripe kernel inside. This is called, swallowing melon seeds!" "Shen Qiye forgot about this dynasty, the national hobby of eating melon seeds has not risen much on the edge of the Yangtze River, and authentic sunflowers have not yet been introduced, so he hurriedly introduced the eldest brother to the way to eat a handful of small objects in his hand.

The three brothers and sisters of the Shen family, although they are all on errands in the town government, but the three of them are frugal, and they have saved up for a long time, and they only bought a small house on the south bank of the Qinhuai River. The three brothers and sisters live together, the family is not wide, and the three of them are not rich, but they still feel very satisfied.

But in the scorching summer, when you go out to patrol the streets in a black black fish suit, you must be sweating profusely when you come back. The two brothers are nothing, swim in the river at night, sweat and tiredness, nothing. But after all, the little sister is a girl's family, and she can't compare to two rough men, and she is uncomfortable if she doesn't take a shower twice in this weather.

In a small house, the three of them each live in a room, and they usually sleep at one point and get up at one point. But when it comes to bathing, you have to pay attention to it, after all, there is a difference between men and women.

So the two brothers were "kicked out" by their sister.

"Big brother, why do you think girls love beauty?" Shen Qiye took a sip of wine, turned his head, and asked his brother about this unsolvable problem.

"They don't like beauty, they mostly like the feeling of being looked at. In our eyes, their beauty is called beauty, but in the eyes of jackals, tigers and leopards, they are so thin that they can't even give birth to a few litters. Beauty is relative. Therefore, the beauty of the long looks should be shown to others, and only when it is shown to others can the beauty be meaningful. Cover it up, what's the matter! For example, the Oiran on the other side, and my ...... Well, however, people are selfish, and there are exceptions to everything. Women are the ones who please themselves, and there may be girls, their beauty is only for the people they love. Shen Ye had already begun to fall in love with the little things in his hand, and he only cared about eating melon seeds and answered questions without looking back.

Shen Qiye listened to the eldest brother's serious nonsense, except for the last sentence. He didn't listen to anything else.

As far as the eye can see, on the opposite bank are high-rise buildings built along the river, which are extremely prosperous. The sisters upstairs, no matter how cold or cold, will attract guests with small silk scarves dancing upstairs, objectively speaking, they are two more than them

People also need to be dedicated. However, it is obvious that the effect of summer is better, because there is less clothing, and there is a little spark in the hearts of the perverts passing by, which can easily form a prairie fire.

On the other side of the river, there are low-rise houses. At this time, there are few people, and even on a hot day, most people go out to beg for a living.

Separated by a bridge, but two worlds.

"Brother, listening to what you said, is Sister Zeng, who is now holding a boat in the river, a beauty?"

"When all things are born, they are all distinct, without any external ornamentation. But as the saying goes, the dehaired phoenix is not as good as a chicken! The phoenix has no colorful feathers, and it is difficult to call it a king of beauty. It can be seen that dressing up is also a must. Although Sister Zeng has a good heart and good looks, she is dressed in coarse cloth and wears a hat, which is too secluded and difficult for everyone to see. Although he has an innate appearance, but he has no acquired ornaments, it is really difficult to call it beautiful?" Shen Ye took a sip of wine, just like an old gentleman who told fortunes at the gate of the city, shaking his head, and talking about the Tao.

“............ So, in this way, the sisters upstairs can be called beautiful?" Shen Qiye wanted to see what else his eldest brother could do?

"They are all well-dressed, and they stand out in the crowd. But what they lack is a heart like Sister Zeng, no heart and no soul, how to be a real beauty? She can smile at you or anyone. If you can buy it with a smile, it's not worth it. They are beautiful, but what is beautiful is their appearance, so they can only be called demons!" Shen Ye knocked a melon seed and sighed slightly.

"This, that, what about Mrs. Chen? She has a good appearance, dresses beautifully, is good to her husband, and has a good reputation for everything she does. Can you call it a beauty?" asked Shen Qiye, pointing to a young man in a gorgeous dress who came from the corner of the street.

"Well, that's good. But don't you think there's something missing? Her dress and character are all excellent, but she always lacks a temperament that can be remembered at first sight. Looking at his clothes, he looks beautiful, but in fact, he is already cliché, simply following the trend, and lacks something unique to himself. .........”

"Phew! obscene!" Before Shen Ye could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mrs. Chen. She saw the two men from a distance, sitting indecently, pointing at herself, with bad intentions in her eyes.

When he got closer, he went over and scolded the two of them directly, and he didn't forget to give the two of them a roll of his eyes before leaving.

“.........”

“.........”

The two brothers lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. It wasn't until Mrs. Chen gradually moved away and disappeared into the street that the eldest brother Shen Ye spoke quietly.

"Vulgar! Vulgar! We are a piece of sincerity and unstained color, and objectively evaluate what is beautiful. How did it become obscene when it came to her mouth???! I retracted what I just said, such a vulgar person is not beautiful at all!" Shen Ye said indignantly while following Madam Chen away.

"So, am I beautiful?"

Hearing this extremely familiar voice, Shen Ye took the last sip of wine, and said without looking back, "You! Although your face is pink and delicate, petite and lovely, you are a little childish and too naughty. It is like a flower bone, and it needs to be watered by rain and dew to bloom in color. ”

"Oh?!Is that so? brother?"

"How can this be fake?!Then you have to be my sister, if you were someone else. Then I'll just say it, that is, a child who has not yet grown up, and there is no advantage except that the chest development is still good. Eh?(^・ェ・^)?,Why is this voice so close?..............."

"Woo~~~ Shen Ye, you, big villain!Woo~I am,~Child~~, woo, I don't want to see you again~~" The crying heartbreaking little fish choked and closed the door that had been opened, she had already prepared a meal and happily called her brother, but she never thought about it... Starve them to death. Xiao Yu'er was ruthless, slammed the door tightly, ignored the voices of the two, and walked straight back to the room.

"Ah!!Sister, little fish, my brother just said nonsense. You are the most beautiful in your brother's heart, no princess or princess can compare to you, there is no more exquisite and lovely person like you in this world!!!" Shen Ye, who reacted, just wanted to turn around, when he heard the sound of "bang!" in the door, followed by the sound of his sister crying inside.

I don't know how long I knocked, but the people on the other side of the door had already left. Where will you find your surname?

"It's all your fault!! you will eat melon seeds if you eat melon seeds!What kind of wine do you want to drink?It's a bad thing now?!" Shen Ye failed to get started, and looked at his brother angrily.

"Huh?!Can you blame me, didn't you bring the wine yourself?"

"Why didn't you remind me that little fish and little ancestor are here?"

"I, I want to, too, but, before I could open your mouth, you spoke to yourself. So what am I doing!?"

"This wine is harmful!! Shen Ye urged sadly, as if struggling to finally jump a fish, and finally could only accept the fate of being boiled. He sat down on the stone steps with a helpless expression, and there was no more life in his eyes.

Shen Qiye only now felt that the eldest brother was right. Beauty is relative. A kind heart is beautiful, a god-given face is beautiful, every girl is beautiful, and dressing up just makes you more glorious and moving. It's just that there is no absolute perfection in this world, and if you insist on chasing it, you will lose your heart.

Two hours ago

On the ferry outside the Golden Scale City

A group of family members got off the boat with one person in their arms

"Miss, slow down!" The intimate maid helped the young lady who got off the boat, and had not yet adapted to the fatigue of the boat, which made the landing a little unstable.

"Yes, Cuicui. The golden scales are so big, can we really find a benefactor?" Although Song Yujing was excited when she came, she really arrived outside the Golden Scale City, facing the huge Golden Scale City, the original confidence in her heart was gone.

"Miss, don't be in a hurry. Engong is so beautiful, no, he is so handsome, and his martial arts are strong. It must also be famous in Golden Scale City. No matter how bad it is, let's go to the Jinlin Town Government Division to ask, Engong is a Jinyi Guard, and the town government secretary must know where he lives. Cuicui looked at her young lady and patiently comforted.

An unusually resolute attitude, and even dares to disobey the master. This is the first time she has seen such a young lady.

"Hmmm!"

The master and servant slowly walked into the Golden Scale City with all the family members.

............

The north gate of Golden Scale City

A group of cavalry from the north also escorted an envoy with a cylindrical letter on his back, to the city. But after passing through the city gate, the team still did not stop, and rushed directly into Jinling City.
