Although it is not as prosperous and luxurious as Yangzhou, Suzhou has a unique charm that Yangzhou cannot match.

On this day, an old man with a cloth bag led a pair of young boys and girls to Suzhou, and he was very emotional when he only looked at the scattered houses on both sides of the street.

Jiang Lili had probably never seen such a house with a particularly prominent classical atmosphere, and she was a little stunned for a while. When Su Su was young, he followed Zhang Jiuling to the north and south, and he didn't see any scenes? I didn't feel curious, but I liked some small things sold on the street.

After visiting four or five stalls in a row, Su Su saw a white rabbit puppet, so she stood in front of the stall and couldn't move her steps, and looked at Zhang Jiuling pitifully with wide eyes.

The stall owner was also a shrewd person, knowing that the girl was only afraid that she was fond of the puppet, and she didn't sit on the ground and raise the price, but just stuffed the puppet into Su Su's hand.

This is good, originally I just took a fancy to it, but after this hand, Su Su didn't want to put this puppet down more and more, and when he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Lili sneer: "Yo, I can't see that you fierce girl actually likes this kind of daughter's thing? It's really the sun coming out in the west! Old man Zhang, you have to pay attention, this celestial phenomenon is very weird, if an empty thunder splits you into charcoal, I won't collect your corpse!"

Su Su raised her eyebrows and shouted, "What do you know? The boy who hasn't grown all the hair, it's your business!"

Su Su learned Jiang Lili's mantra well.

Zhang Jiuling coughed, stretched out his hand and touched the shriveled money bag, "Susu, you can't eat when you look at things, and you can't do your duty as clothes, what do we want it to do? “

"That's it!" Jiang Lili rarely stood up to Zhang Jiuling to speak, "Besides, with your shrewd temperament who can't get married, maybe I'll throw it into a gutter tomorrow." It's a bit embarrassing for her to let it follow you!"

The stall owner listened to these words, and couldn't help but feel sorry for a puppet for only four or five cents, this old man was really picky! But he didn't want to lose a deal in vain, so he hurriedly helped Su Su and said: "Look at what you said, where can the little girl be as careless as us old men, she must be cherished with her heart, how can she throw this puppet into the gutter?"

"That's it!" Su Su pouted while holding the rabbit puppet.

Jiang Lili turned his head to look at the boss, and glanced the boss up and down with disdain, "It's your business! Why do you talk so much? You deserve to be a master who has no ability!"

The boss was a little annoyed, but he didn't talk back because he was the guest officer, but he felt a little tired, and it was difficult to do this business. Thinking about it like this, the boss felt a lot more comfortable, sat down on the chair and made a cup of tea for himself.

Zhang Jiuling saw that the boss was no longer instigating Su Su, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and continued to persuade Su Su: "Let's not buy this thing, you see how much we still have to go, we can't waste this kind of unnecessary money here!"

Hearing this, Su Su felt a little aggrieved, her nose was sour, but she didn't want to cry, so she yelled at Zhang Jiuling: "If it weren't for this bastard boy here, would we be able to save this money? Tell me, this bastard boy has an unknown origin, and he has eaten and drunk for nothing, and we haven't paid a penny! Originally, I was still sleeping in bed at this time, and it was because of him that I had suffered so much in vain! If you hadn't come to this bastard boy, how could you have no money to buy me a doll!"

Zhang Jiuling was a little dumbfounded, but Jiang Lili added fuel to the fire, "If I just don't give money, how can you drop it?" I think you are spoiled by Old Man Zhang, if you are in our village, you will not be beaten! Old Man Zhang, can't you buy this doll for her, if you buy it, she won't ask you to buy a bracelet and necklace tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Su Su became more and more annoyed, gritted her teeth and glared at Jiang Lili, but saw Jiang Lili smiling at herself, and she couldn't hold back her tears and shed tears. Holding the rabbit puppet and turning around and squatting down, Su Su shouted: "If you don't buy me this doll today, I won't leave!

A handful of tears didn't dare to wipe on the puppet, Su Su buried her head in the crook of her arm and cried quietly, but she cried for a while but didn't hear any movement behind her, and she couldn't help but panic a little in her heart, Lao Zhang wouldn't really want to be himself!

Secretly turned his head and glanced at it, and saw that Zhang Jiuling was leading Jiang Lili to this side, so he quickly turned his face to gamble.

Zhang Jiuling touched Su Su's head, "It's done, let's go." ”

"If you don't buy me this doll, I won't leave!"

Over there, Jiang Lili sowed discord and said: "Old man Zhang, you heard it, this girl really can't get used to it, it's better to leave her here to dry for a long time, and then she will naturally cry and run back." It's better if you don't come back, just save a mouth to eat money! Anyway, it's also picked up, and you don't feel distressed if you lose it. ”

Hearing this, Su Su was a little panicked, and felt more and more that Zhang Jiuling was going to be rebelled by Jiang Lili. After the panic, he was wronged, and his nose was sour, and he cried: "Cheng, Lao Zhang, you just leave me here! Woo, I also picked it up anyway, and you don't feel distressed! Just take the river dog to you as a grandson!Woo~~"

Zhang Jiuling laughed, reached out to pull Su Su's hand, and Su Su shook it off.

Zhang Jiuling smiled helplessly: "Okay, don't cry, this doll has been bought for you, if you don't leave me, I still want you." ”

was only filled with the words "the doll was bought", and he didn't hear clearly what Zhang Jiuling said behind him, Su Su raised his head and choked with tears in his eyes and said, "Really?"

"Really—"

Su Su pulled Zhang Jiuling's sleeve to wipe away the tears on her face, and couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Lili glanced at her and snorted.

——————

Suzhou, also known as Gusu, Pingjiang, during which the garden is more than Yang Quartet, such as the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lion Forest, the Tiger Hill, the Canglang Pavilion and so on. There is also a saying: "The rich go to Yangzhou more, and the scholars gather in Suzhou." Just a glance at this Suzhou garden can see the reason for this sentence.

In addition to the peddlers and pawns begging for work, the streets and alleys are densely packed with literati and scholars with their hair combed and wearing long robes.

Zhang Jiuling looked left and right for two days, muttering, why is there no competition ring here?

Su Su walked beside Zhang Jiuling with a rabbit in her arms, and when she heard this, she said viciously: "You have to find it! Just let Jiang Lili go up and be beaten to death!"

Jiang Lili tilted his head slightly, "Believe it or not, I'll throw this rabbit into the gutter for you?"

Su Su hurriedly hugged the rabbit tightly, thought about it and stuffed the rabbit into the package, and then stiffened his neck and shouted: "You come!

Jiang Lili was not so bored, she didn't bother to pay attention to him, so she turned her head to look left and right at the houses on both sides of the street.

Not long after walking, I heard someone in front of me: "Hurry up, Canglang Pavilion is open again!"

Zhang Jiuling was stunned, and hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the person who said this, and said with a smile: "This Qi person, dare to ask where this ring is?"

The man was very impatient, and after saying a word, he shook off Zhang Jiuling's hand and ran away after the Canglang Pavilion, seeing that the posture should be to call friends.

Zhang Jiuling had a bitter face, he didn't know where the Canglang Pavilion was!

I didn't have time to think about it, so I asked for directions and hurried away, and it took more than an hour to see the exquisite pavilion standing by the lake. But I didn't have time to appreciate the beauty of this pavilion, for fear that the ring would be closed, so I hurriedly squeezed inside, causing two or three shouts and scolding.

It's just that the crowd is so crowded that I can't see what's going on inside. Zhang Jiuling had no choice but to use the routine in Yangzhou at that time, and roared, "Get out of the way, there is a peerless genius here to challenge!

Hearing this, the crowd was bustling for a while, and everyone who was close to them all turned their heads to look at Zhang Jiuling, "Genius? Which one are you?"

Zhang Jiuling sneered, pressed his hand on Jiang Lili's head and said, "I can't be called a genius, no, the genius is this!"

Jiang Lili was a little annoyed, and slapped Zhang Jiuling's hand away.

Others muttered, "Why are you carrying a wooden knife on your back? This doesn't look like a genius!"

It's just that someone in the ring in front of him seemed to hear Zhang Jiuling's shouting, and a voice came, "Which peerless genius is it?

Hearing this, these idle people who watched the excitement didn't dare to stop it anymore, and got out of the way one after another.

After the last time she fought in the ring, Jiang Lili was not as frightened as before, and walked along the road with a snort.

Zhang Jiuling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Su asked on the side, "Are the people in the ring amazing?"

A young literati said with a smile: "Those in this ring must be powerful, I dare not say that they are national scholars, but they can be regarded as the leaders among young Confucian scholars." ”

"Confucius?" Su Su frowned and asked, "Is the Confucian fighting bad?"

The man was stunned and said, "What are you fighting for? Why are you fighting? How do I know if they are fighting or not?"

Zhang Jiuling was a little surprised when he heard this, "Isn't this a fight?"

"It's a ring!"

"How tall can a Confucian be able to fight with a warrior?"

The young literati was stunned again, and only reacted after half a sound, "Old man, I'm afraid you've made a mistake! Where is this martial arts ring, this is the poetry and literature arena held!"

Zhang Jiuling was dumbfounded.

Su Su turned her head and asked, "Then do you say that Jiang Lili can write poetry?"

At this moment, Jiang Lili stood in front of this pavilion, looking at the steps under his feet, and wondered why the ring was set so low today. Looking up, I saw a few literati in their twenties sitting on the left, with a pot of tea in front of them, looking at me with a smile. On the right side, there were several twenty-eight girls sitting on the right, all dressed in long skirts, looking at him with bright eyes, and Jiang Lili actually had a trace of timidity at this time.

It's just that after remembering the last time he fought in the ring, Jiang Lili's cowardice in his heart dissipated a lot, and he thought to himself, isn't it just a fight, isn't it still the same for men and women? If you can't fight, you can run, anyway, there are only three knives.

Striding on the steps, the people below were talking, it was nothing more than how this kid was carrying a wooden knife, or else this kid was the peerless genius?

Jiang Lili walked up to the pavilion, stood in the middle of these two groups of people, and said with confidence: "Which of you is the most powerful here? I will beat him!"

Others only thought that this "type" word meant a challenge, so they didn't think about it, and a blue-shirted literati smiled and said, "Don't you have to sit down, little boy?"

Jiang Lili frowned, "Why do you have so many problems?

The literati laughed, "Fight, fight." ”

Another person asked, "Does the little boy eat tea?"

"Don't eat!" replied Jiang Lili bluntly.

Another woman asked, "What is the name of the little boy, how old is this year, and where does the family live?"

Jiang Lili frowned and turned her face to look at the woman, "Why do you have so many things to do with this mother-in-law?"

The woman was not annoyed, but actually helped a woman in a yellow dress next to her and laughed.

Jiang Lili didn't know what these people thought, but he was always standing between these people and was cramped, and when he was headless and brainless and ready to find someone to beat, a man smiled and said, "Don't tease this little boy, you see that he is annoyed." Seeing that Jiang Lili was about to have a seizure, the man hurriedly said, "Bibibi, let's do it now!" But did you just say that you want to challenge the most powerful person?"

Jiang Lili snorted.

The man took a sip of tea and said, "If you want to challenge the most powerful person, then you have to turn around, do you see the woman who strokes the qin? She is the most powerful in our field, and none of us can compare to her!"

A few young literati next to him helped and said, "That's right! If you can compare to her, then we all have to convince you!"

Jiang Lili turned around and looked at the women one by one, then stared at a woman in a white dress and said, "Are you the most powerful person they say?"

The woman's eyes were like autumn water, her face was like congealed fat, she only laughed when she heard Jiang Lili speak like this, her fingers lightly picked a stroke on the strings, and she whispered softly, just saying that it was all a false praise from others, and she couldn't count it.

"Can't count? That's fake! Where's the top one?

Everyone was dumbfounded, and a man laughed and said, "Eh, this little boy." This woman is really the most top-notch person, just now she said that she can't do it is just a humble remark! You can go to the streets and alleys outside to ask, just ask who is the most talented person in our Suzhou, except for a few old people who are already old, this girl is second to none!"

What is Wencai? Oh, it's martial arts! These people are really sour, they have to come up with a few words to correct the text, what's the point?

Just listened to what this person said, Jiang Lili believed it a little, turned her head to look at the girl Fang who said in this person's mouth, her eyes swept over this woman from top to bottom, and suddenly pursed her lips, thinking secretly, this mother-in-law is so thin, I am afraid that I can beat her with one punch to make her vomit blood, this is the most powerful character?

I still don't believe it!

Jiang Lili turned to look at the man who had just spoken to him, and said angrily, "You dare to lie to me?"

The man was about to watch a good show, but he was stunned when he heard this, "Why did I lie to you?"

"Where is she the most powerful person? Obviously she's here to fool me! Besides, where is there a man who can't compare to a woman in this regard?"

Hearing this, the group of men had not yet spoken, and the woman behind them was not happy to listen, and a woman in a yellow dress retorted: "Since ancient times, there have been words such as "who says that women are inferior to men", not to mention that even female writers, female sword fairies, and female generals are very many nowadays, little boy, I dare not agree with your words!"

If it was placed in normal times, Jiang Lili would have to sneer and sneer, but now that everyone is standing in the middle of the pavilion, she really doesn't want to waste more time on this scolding and quarreling, so she didn't pay attention to her, but asked again: "That woman is really the most powerful person?"

"Nature, nature!" "Canglang Pavilion outside the lively people should be and said.

Jiang Lili believed it at this time, but just muttered that you men are too incompetent, and you can't even compare to such a thin woman.

Hearing this, the young literati sitting in the middle of the pavilion coughed heavily, and his smile was a little sneering.

Jiang Lili looked at the woman, "Nacheng, let's compare!"

The woman surnamed Fang laughed and nodded.

Jiang Lili was a little puzzled, "You don't stand up?"

The woman surnamed Fang asked suspiciously, "Why am I standing up?"

Jiang Lili thought to herself, did this woman think that she was capable and could beat me without getting up?

After moving a few steps, Jiang Lili asked again: "Do you strike first or do I strike first?"

The woman surnamed Fang only said that it was a child's inappropriate words, and she didn't pay much attention to it, so she said, "You first." ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

Jiang Lili moved a few more steps, only to feel that this woman was full of flaws, and secretly wondered if this woman had any secret weapons or other vicious tricks, so she didn't dare to do it for a long time.

The spectators next to him were a little impatient when they watched Jiang Lili walk in the pavilion for most of the day, not to mention the seven-step poem, you have walked half a pillar of incense, even if you are holding, you should hold back a little foam to come out!

Jiang Lili was a little annoyed by the noise, and turned around and scolded a fart!

It's just that after blurting out this sentence, my heart was not comfortable, but I became even more anxious! I was annoyed when I was in a hurry, thinking that it would be like a broken jar, and I shouted: "I'm going to make a move!"

Not to mention, you have to see this kid's ability, even if you look at jokes, you have to hear what words this kid reads to think it's funny, right?

So after hearing Jiang Lili's voice, the spectators quieted down and stared at Jiang Lili intently.

I only saw Jiang Lili trotting all the way to the woman, and made a feint to turn around, and then took out a wooden knife from behind and slashed at the woman's head.

The woman surnamed Fang rolled her eyes a few times and then fell headlong on the guqin.

"Hum—"

——————

In the evening, the portraits of Zhang Jiuling, Su Su, and Jiang Lili were posted on the largest bulletin board in Suzhou City.

That night, the three of them hid in Tibet, bypassing two groups of officers and soldiers and six groups of indignant people, and then squatted under an abandoned bridge and gasped for breath.

At this time, Jiang Lili asked in a daze, "Old man Zhang, do you see if I have practiced this knife to the fullest? This Suzhou premier master can be stunned by my knife!"
