Chapter 37

The next day, thanks to the help of the river, the ship moved at full speed.In the evening, I have seen a trace of Jiangzhou's beauty.The chaotic noise reappeared in the ears of everyone; the colorful glazed lamps adorned the eaves and walls of the house.

A passenger boat passed through the river in the city, attracting people on the shore to rush to see it.The people on the boat only felt that the two sides of the strait were very beautiful, and they couldn't help but indulge in it.

Suddenly, the surrounding lights were replaced by darkness.Looking closely, it turned out that the ship just passed under a stone arch bridge.The width of the bridge was astounding, and the people in the boat thought that the bright lights on the shore had been extinguished in an instant.

After the beautiful scenery, the boatman stood at the bow of the boat and shouted: "Turn around the front corner is Jiangzhou Wharf, everyone, pack up and prepare to disembark! Don't delay, if you stay until the curfew, everyone will not be able to leave! "

When the boat docked, Bai Feng and the others set out to find the inn.The road conditions in the city are complicated. Several rivers divide the town into pieces. At a glance, you can see at least five or six stone bridges of different styles.Glazed lanterns are almost hung on both sides, although the light they emit is not as bright as the group of paper lanterns in the Ten Thousand Lantern Festival, and the number is far less.But the advantage is that each glazed lamp is exquisite in shape and colorful.The magical work of painting with "colorful glazed glass" makes people look at each other for a moment and praise them, making this rumored "exotic city" even more mysterious and rich.

The outsider who was immersed in the sights in front of his eyes almost forgot the words of the boatman.Fortunately, Na Meilan came over to retrieve his ancient books, and incidentally mentioned a resort in the city.

"Zhao Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi!" Mei Lan stumbled from her place and trotted over, saying, "The book in your sister's hand has not been returned to me!"

Zhao Xiaomei heard the news, returned the book to the other party, and learned from Jianghu people to bend over to make a compilation. She thanked: "Thank you for the book, Mr. Mei. The content in it is really beneficial."

The little girl's delicate body makes this kind of ceremony, and it has a funny sense of "little adults".Mei Lan looked at her a few more times, and noticed that the little girl had a gloomy expression on her face, so she said, "Is Miss Zhao's body okay? It looks like she hasn't rested. Or are you so overwhelmed and tired that you can't sleep? "

"It's...that's not it!" The little girl panicked, only to realize that she had done a man's salute.It's all my fault that I met such a young man, and now even my living habits have been affected.

Bai Feng walked over to block between the two at this time, facing Mei Lan, and wrote: "Brother Mei Lan, this huge Jiangzhou city makes us newcomers amazed. It's just getting late, I don't know if there is any For a good resting place, I hope Brother Meilan can give me some pointers."

"Oh!" Mei Lan pointed to the river where they came by boat, and said, "Look at the houses by the river that are covered with glazed lanterns. In fact, my son sent them to hang them. This river is the largest in the city. The river flows from west to east to the sea, and now everyone calls it the 'Liu Li River'. And a tributary of this river is also covered with lanterns. This is all because my son wants to make his 'Liu Li Pavilion' a source of customers. Roll and do."

"There are so many people, how could they be found before the curfew?" Ajuan still harbored hostility towards Mei Lan in her heart, so she deliberately tried to make things difficult: "Young Master Mei is afraid that we will be wandering around on the street after the curfew, and then ask the government to give it to me. Are you caught?"

Mei Lan smiled helplessly: "How could it be? My son is still looking forward to Miss Murong's visit! Alas, for the sake of Miss Murong, I will accompany you tonight to find the Liuli Pavilion."

The flat rock and brick floor covered the whole city. Compared with the sandy soil in the countryside, people who stepped on it felt extremely at ease, and there was no need to be afraid of the sand and gravel hitting their skin.Shao Qing, a few people walked beside the river, following the guidance of Liuli Deng and Mei Lan, they quickly found the tributary.And at the end of the road is where the Liuli Pavilion is located.As night fell and the curfew dictated, most of the shops on the street had been closed to thank customers.Pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and some of them saw a few strangers walking by and couldn't help but look a few more times.

One of them was a fashionable "coiled snake bun", dressed in silk silk silk clothes, and a lady with clean and smooth skin passed by the crowd.Shaking the flesh on her face, she glanced arrogantly at the outsider over there, then stroked the gauze she was wearing outside, and left without looking back.That look of disgust seemed to be telling a few dusty travelers that her clothes were expensive.

Zhao Xiaomei, who has been in the deep boudoir all the year round and is respected by thousands of people, suddenly became angry and shouted at the person: "Hey! Auntie over there, why are you looking at us like this?"

After hearing this, the noble lady took a furious step and forced her to approach the younger sister, saying, "Where is the wild girl, you dare to make trouble here with such a shabby appearance? Believe it or not, I will sue the government and take part in your disrespectful appearance. crime?"

"Me, shabby?" The little girl looked at her dusty clothes, her hands that were as tender and white as before, and stroking the dark circles under her eyes due to lack of sleep, and just remembered that she had not been careful for half a month. Dressed up.She glanced at Bai Feng's direction subconsciously, and then covered her face in shame.

Murong Yan stepped forward, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed her head and bowed her knees, and gave the lady a blessing and said, "This noble lady, we are new to your place and don't know the rules, please forgive me."

"Humph! The poor ghost should go to the place of the poor ghost. It's your fault to come to this street to respond to others!" Seeing the other party's resignation, the lady not only did not disregard her past suspicions, but even more humiliated.

Zhao Kuo protected his little sister behind him and roared, "Auntie, you won't forgive others if you get the reason, be careful about losing your life!"

The woman's face was flushed with anger, she rolled up her sleeves, and was about to slap the man in front of her, but she let Mei Lan stop it: "This noble, it seems that you are also a player from the Liuli Pavilion. This is a distinguished guest of Liuli Pavilion, if you hurt your peace, it may be inconvenient to play in the pavilion in the future!"

After listening to the lady, she straightened her clothes and parted with the rest of the group.

In Oqing, a tall square building stands beside the corner of the river, and a stone arch bridge carved with strange patterns connects it to the land road.It is about four floors high, and the eaves of each floor are decorated with glazed lamps, which roughly depict the appearance of the building in the night sky. This is a tower-shaped building.

Everyone passed the stone bridge and passed the people who came out of it. They were surprised to find that the old man with white hair and the little boy with drooping beard were all among them.

A black-bearded man wearing a black gauze hat and a gray cloth robe stood at the door, with a table and a chair beside him, and a bright white flag was erected, with the words "Up to know astronomy, down to know". Geography. To practice medicine, five money each time. Jianghu news, starting from ten silver.”He kept reaching out to attract customers who came and went, including Bai Feng and his party.

"These people look at Miansheng, I'm afraid they don't know my name 'Fang Chunqiu'." The man stopped in front, holding his own flag, and introduced.

Mei Lan roared inside, and a woman wearing purple clothes with light footsteps and a boneless figure walked slowly.

"Oh, what kind of wind is blowing Mei Xiaoge!" The woman put her hand on Mei Lan's chest and said, "Fang Daoren, don't you think you don't earn enough money by telling stories here? Is God lying at the door?"

"Mei Niang, when you sing a show, how can other people have the time to listen to my story! When I meet you in this life, I'm really bad for eight lifetimes." After that, Fang Chunqiu turned around and left.

Mei Lan naturally moved her hand away and replied, "Mei Niang, you are still so fond of teasing others. Ahem... Let's get back to business, these are the distinguished guests of the son, and they and I are only returning here tonight. , so you have to stay here for one night and treat them well. It’s best to prepare a new set of clothes and a few maids who specialize in dressing and bathing, so that they can visit the son with dignity.”

Mei Niang blinked her intoxicating peach blossom eyes, and there seemed to be a flower-like "birthmark" under her eyes, which looked very charming.She swayed from left to right and looked at the few foreigners, causing them to avoid her gaze, and then murmured, "Two men and three women, how should the rooms be divided..."

Murong Yan pulled Zhao Xiaomei to her side and said, "I share a room with her."

"Ah! Then I have a room by myself?" Ajuan said dissatisfied.

Bai Feng Zuoji replied, "Then you need four rooms. As for the maid, I don't need it."

"Ah? Does this gentleman dislike the service of the shop for not being attentive?" Mei Niang asked while stroking Bai Feng's arm.

Murong Yan grabbed Bai Feng's caressed hand in a snap, and replied, "We have hands and feet, so you shouldn't worry about it."

"Then everyone, go and rest. I'd like to thank Young Master Mei first." Zhao Kuo cupped his hands and said to Mei Lan.

Having said that, these outsiders greeted the proprietress in the pavilion and the younger brother Mei Lan, and said goodbye one by one.

A few people were entangled in the door when they entered, and they didn't have time to see what was inside.Now, taking advantage of the gap after some words, I looked up and found that on the top is a caisson made of "colorful glaze", tattooed with things that only exist in weird myths and legends, and it looks extremely gorgeous and pleasant. .Tables and chairs are stacked under a high platform in the center of the first floor, which should be a place for singing and storytelling.It's just that I don't know which play is being sung here or which book is being spoken, but it can actually attract men and women, young and old, to come and pay their respects.
