Let's say that at noon, Xingyan was shuttling back and forth between the tables and chairs of Daoxiang Restaurant, and suddenly heard the noisy noise of the wine shop, and a clear and crisp female voice was coming, just like a drop of crystal dew in the early morning, shattered on the bluestone in the colorful morning light.

"Ah, this girl's voice is so good!"

The conceited and well-informed young man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pricked up his ears in his busy schedule, trying to search for this beautiful string of sounds.

"The wind comes next door, three, points, drunk ~ open the altar after drinking, ten, li, fragrant! Uncle Cheng, I didn't expect this restaurant to be quite elegant. ”

Listening to her accent, it is obviously not like a local, but quite like the official language spoken by a merchant in the North. Just as he was discerning, he heard an old voice laugh again

"Yes, this couplet is interesting. It's good that after such a long journey, let's stop here. ”

It is estimated that this old man is the uncle Cheng in the girl's mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rough voice shouting:

"Little Er, unload our horses and take them away, and feed Luo with good water and grass. ”

Presumably, this rough man should be the coachman of the girl and Uncle Cheng.

"Don't worry, you!Please sit upstairs!~~"

Xiaohu's voice downstairs is also professional and melodious enough.

Somehow, Xingyan's ears have become more and more acute recently, Rao is so far away downstairs, especially the old voice's voice is really not big, but under his deliberate meditation, he can clearly distinguish every syllable tone of that conversation in the noise of this wine shop.

Thanks to this good ear, when I heard that the sweet voice of the girl was about to come upstairs, I couldn't help but be excited, and hurriedly took the opportunity to serve food to the guests, and tried to rub the staircase several times. After all, it is usually rare to see any new and outstanding characters in this small city of Raozhou.

In the expectant eyes of the young man, the girl and her uncle Cheng finally went upstairs in anticipation, walked to a window seat and sat down. The coachman didn't come up, probably because of his humble status, so he ate some food indiscriminately in the hall downstairs.

Seeing the two of them seated, Xingyan hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and skillfully asked them what they ordered, and naturally, by the way, he also glanced at the little girl a few times. At this glance, the young man was a little disappointed in his heart - although this girl's voice was beautiful, her appearance was only average, but only those eyes were clear and full of aura, which made her whole appearance much more lively.

This girl looks very old, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a wide skirt, and she can't see her posture in her eagerness. In fact, what if you see it? How can a young man at this time really know how to appreciate the beauty of a woman's posture. Now, Xingyan only vaguely felt that the girl in front of her was filled with an indescribable smell of youth.

Looking at the uncle again, although his voice sounded a little old, his face was not wrinkled as he imagined. It seems that this uncle is good at health preservation, and he seems to be radiant.

After watching the two of them, Xingyan began to evaluate in his heart:

"Well, this girl is only slightly better looking than Xiaomei. However, this Uncle Cheng is much more spiritual than the old man Qinghe...... Huh!"

Although he was thinking wildly, he didn't pull down the work in his hand at all. Awakening said that even if he was skillful with these two foreign guests, he recommended a few good dishes from Daoxianglou.

"Ahem, this little brother—"

Just when this little girl was very excited and eager to try the steaming plate of simmered pork hands that had just been served, she suddenly heard Uncle Cheng ask. coughed a few more times before pulling the young man back to reality.

"I wonder what the guest officer commands?"

Xingyan hurriedly replied. Seeing that he came back to his senses, Uncle Cheng asked kindly:

"That's right, do you know what places of interest are in the vicinity, especially the famous mountains and scenic spots. My young lady wants to have a visit to this Raozhou. ”

"Hah! You keep asking me the right person!"

As soon as he heard the old man's question, the young man immediately became energetic:

"I Zhang Xingyan dare not boast about anything else, just talking about the beautiful scenery of Raozhou City, but I am the most familiar with Zhang Xingyan!"

So the old and the young, and then listened to the young man's long speech in amazement:

This running hall Xiaoer, the scenery of Raozhou City with a little gimmick, no matter what the horns are not pulled, but the context is clear, and there are traces to follow.

It seems that Xingyan is worthy of being the proud disciple of Ji Lao's pedant, and his long-term hard training has finally come in handy!

Suddenly, the wild words were shocked, and the two were bright and sunny for a while!

"Wake up !!"

Just when Uncle Cheng wanted to speak out to stop the young man's talk, he suddenly heard the young man's back, and suddenly stopped drinking, and then the old and young looked at the young man in great surprise and immediately stopped talking, and the head of the mouse disappeared in front of him instantly......

"Guest officer, don't just listen to this kid's nonsense. He hasn't been in shape all day! You see this dish is going to be cold, so let's enjoy it first. Not enough to order more!"

"Hehe, in fact, the small shop doesn't have any other characteristics - it's just that the food is very delicious! The amount is very large! But it's not particularly expensive! Haha!"

I don't know if I got a tip from the fat tent, this "special" shopkeeper Liu suddenly appeared on the spot like a god general, and drove away the teenager who was preventing the potential consumption of the guests in time.

"Heh, then trouble the shopkeeper, and call the little brother just now. The old man was asking him something important. ”

and Shopkeeper Liu's exaggerated words, Uncle Cheng still looks tepid.

"Ugh!"

This time, it was the turn of the shopkeeper Liu to catch the blind; after all, customer demand is the first, so I had no choice but to go back and call Xingyan over. It's just that when people are not paying attention, he whispers and threatens the young man to be careful with the guests and try not to affect them to order more. Then, the shopkeeper Liu disappeared to the counter in a very faceless manner, waiting for the next emergency.

With the lessons of the past, this time Uncle Cheng asked the young man bluntly, this Raozhou City is nearby, and there are any mountains worth visiting.

Hearing Uncle Cheng's words, the young man who didn't want to lose face to the people of Raozhou scratched his head for a long time, and after some searching his stomach and scraping his stomach, he could only helplessly tell the old man in front of him:

"I'm not afraid of your old jokes, although we have a lot of scenic spots in Raozhou City, there are really no famous mountains worth seeing on the outskirts of the city. ”

"In Poyang County, not far from our Raozhou City, there are many hills. But in my opinion, it's just average. It's a little bit impressive, but it's far away from this Raozhou. This Raozhou city is close to the left - uh, my family has an ancestral mountain farm, although it covers a vast area, but the mountain is low, it can only be regarded as a wild mountain. ”

"Wow!~ You have a mountain in your house?!"

As soon as she heard the words, the girl immediately let go of the pig hand in front of her, and asked the young man with great interest:

"What's the name of your mountain? Don't you have a name yet? I'll give you one if you don't have a name!"

"Heh~"

Seeing that the girl was so enthusiastic, the young man also smiled kindly and said:

"My family's mountain, everyone calls it 'Horseshoe Mountain'. Because of the legend of the old people nearby, this hill was the Heavenly Horse ridden by the Jade Emperor back then, arched out of Poyang Lake when rolling, and stepped on a hoof palm print before flying. My horseshoe mountain is the heart of this horse's palm. ”

Hearing the words "Horseshoe Mountain", Uncle Cheng and the girl's eyes lit up at the same time:

"What an interesting story, I wonder if this big brother can take me to see it?"

This is a girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, and she just doesn't know how to pass the afternoon.

"Well, I just happened to accompany the young lady to see it. Oh, this little brother, if you are willing to work hard, this ingot of silver will be yours!"

This is Uncle Cheng, who has always looked steady and dignified. However, the clever young man can see that this Uncle Cheng is not just Zhang Luo, who is so bothered because the girl is interested, but also because he is also interested.

"I really don't understand! What is there to see about that barren mountain! These two strangers are really interested. Are you really moved by my gossip and legend? But this ingot of silver is not light, and it is worth a month's salary or two......

"No, why is this old man so generous? This money can't be fake, right?"

The young man, who was suffering from gains and losses, suddenly felt that there were two bright eyes staring at him--it turned out to be the girl, who was suddenly clever and capable, and suddenly dull, and thought it was very interesting, and was staring at him with both eyes.

For some reason, the young man suddenly felt very embarrassed, the face that had been trained countless times with Qinghe Lao Dao turned slightly red for the first time!

When Uncle Cheng and the girl finished eating, they didn't immediately follow Xingyan to visit Horseshoe Mountain. It's not that they lost interest and changed their hexagrams, but that the little girl temporarily decided to take a look around the city first and feel the customs of Raozhou City. Uncle Cheng didn't object much, and the tour guide Zhang Xingyan didn't have any opinions, anyway, it was not the first time he was absent from the afternoon school, whether it was to go to Horseshoe Mountain or to wander around Raozhou City, there was no essential difference.

So, Uncle Cheng and the girl began to wander around Raozhou City under the guidance of Awakening Words.

As mentioned earlier, Raozhou is actually not a big city, and the specifications in the city are not much different from other cities in the world.

At that time, there was no such atmosphere of compiling ten scenes of the city, but Zhang Xingyan had read poetry and books with Mr. Ji Lao, although he was forced to make a living, he inevitably had to "fish for three days and dry nets for two days", and often had to mingle in the streets, but he had always been smart, and what he learned in his chest was much more transparent and profound than those classmates who were squirrel.

Therefore, although Raozhou City is unremarkable, but the teenager often often borrows the topic to play, simple scenes, but also installed such as "ancient temple bell", "autumn river beauty", "flowing water", "jade around the city", "small city lights" and other elegant names, combined with those from the Daoxianglou three religions and nine streams of diners to hear the strange anecdotes, you can always be a piece of inconspicuous scenes, quoted classics like a number of family treasures. This interesting rhetoric with both fiction and reality not only attracted the immature girl deeply, but even Uncle Cheng, who had been weathered, often praised him.

After more than half an afternoon of playing, the three of them are already more familiar. The two young people, in particular, are far more harmonious and natural than they were at the beginning.

Wake up and know that the uncle is called Uncle Cheng. It's just that the girl's name and surname, although the atmosphere of men and women in the market at that time was not as restrained as in later generations, but the name of ordinary women still won't be easily told to strange men. So the boy often struggled with not knowing what to call the girl, and finally couldn't help but ask Uncle Cheng's girl's name and surname.

didn't think about it, the girl was falling in love with Xingyan, and when she heard him ask, she took the initiative to tell her name a little shyly:

"My name is Ju Ying~"

"My name is Zhang ......"

Just when Xingyan was about to tell her her name, Ju Ying smiled lightly:

"You wake up! Your boss has such a fierce voice, he has already shouted your name so that the whole street can hear it!hee~"

Not to mention the laughter of the young man and woman, but said that when he passed by Li Ji grocery store, it was the surname of the young man's heart, and his words inevitably revealed his praise for Li Xiaomei, so Ju Ying couldn't help laughing that he hadn't seen a real beauty.

Hearing that the idol in his heart was despised and his aesthetics were even more doubted, the young man couldn't help but be a little annoyed and angry, and said angrily:

"Ju Ying, although Xiaomei may not be as good-looking as those beautiful women outside, in this Raozhou City, in my opinion, she is also one of the best!"

At this time, in order to win, he has promoted Xiaomei, the first beauty in a radius of two streets, to one of the best in the city.

didn't think about it, Ju Ying heard this, and asked with interest:

"Then you know what beautiful women are out there?"

"This ......"

The menacing teenager was choked at once; after all, the farthest boundary he went to was Poyang County, southeast of Raozhou.

Looking at these two young people who were arguing, Uncle Cheng didn't interject, only kept a slight smile.

Stunned for a long time, Xingyan often walks around the restaurant, his mind is flexible, looking at Ju Ying's smile, after a little thought, he has a plan, and said:

"Well, the pretty woman out there, of course I do. The first recommendation is, of course, the youngest daughter of His Majesty the Emperor, Princess Allure. The drinkers of Daoxianglou are all preaching her beauty! They are well-informed, and it should be good to be able to praise her as the best in the world. ”

The smart boy first launched a recognized No. 1 beauty in the world to ensure that he was invincible, and then he began to fight back:

"Of course, everyone knows that Princess Allure is beautiful, so I'll give you a ready-made example."

Speaking of this, Xingyan deliberately paused.

"Well, where are the ready-made examples?"

Sure enough, the girl was tricked.

"That's you!hee~"

was about to see Ju Ying's exaggerated reaction, but she didn't expect her to just smile and didn't speak again.

Time flies quickly, although the city of Raozhou is not big, but after a circle, it has gradually sunk in the west. After telling the sad and touching story of the well in Liuzhu Lane and a widow, Xingyan and the two of them got into a carriage and went to Horseshoe Mountain.

In the car, occasionally at a glance, he found that Ju Ying's eyelashes were still faintly flashing with tears, probably a simple girl, still immersed in the poignant and moving story he told just now.

"Girls are really sentimental!"

The boy decided that the next time he told the story to the little girls, he would change the ending to a happy reunion.

Thanks to their blessings, this ordinary rush has created many firsts in the life of the young man:

First ride in a carriage;

The first time I walked home without having to walk on my own legs;

First ...... For the first time in my life, I met a girl's body!

This was the first time, when the carriage was turning, and because of her habitual surname, the girl fell slightly on his side, and her arm was next to his elbow. Although it was just a moment, this gentle touch has made the ears of the young man who has always been bold and his heart beat all the way!

When I arrived at Horseshoe Mountain, it was already sunset. The glow of the western sky, obliquely shining on the Horseshoe Mountain, decorates this inconspicuous hill like a glorious and flowing red jade sculpture. The verdant vegetation on the hill also seems to be covered with a layer of vermilion powder at this time.

It may be that he didn't boast anything good about Horseshoe Mountain before, Ju Ying thinks that Horseshoe Mountain in the sunset is also very good-looking. Unconsciously, the girl had blurted out praise in accordance with the style of the teenager's afternoon tour guide:

"What a beautiful 'horseshoe sunset'~"
