I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Chapter 241 Surprise Encounter
"Gone."

Coming out of the Lanting Scenic Area, Luo Lier wondered if she could see the woman who left a deep impression on her again, but she had long since disappeared.

"Where to go next?"

Pei Yunxi changed the topic.

"Lu Xun's former residence? I want to see the two jujube trees in front of his house."

Luo Li'er suggested without thinking further.

"Under normal circumstances, jujube trees can only live for 30 to [-] years. I'm afraid they won't be able to see them now." Jiang Chen laughed.

"Then go and see Baicao Garden and Sanwei Bookstore."

In this trip, Luo Lier is obviously the protagonist, and her opinion is the action plan.

The three get in the car.

As a thousand-year-old water town, Shaocheng can see a river almost a few hundred meters away. A seemingly ordinary bridge may have a history of hundreds of thousands of years, and even the air seems to be filled with water vapor.

In the streets and alleys, there are thick and thin alleys hidden, and you can always see old people over half a century old sitting in a bamboo chair, or sitting lazily in front of the door, or chatting idlely, doing laundry and washing dishes, and occasionally seeing tourists passing by, laughing Say hello.

"Downstairs a man is dying of illness, and the family on the other side is singing on the gramophone; opposite is playing with children. Upstairs, there are two people laughing wildly; there is also the sound of playing cards. On the boat in the river, there is a woman crying for her dead mother. The joys and sorrows of human beings It's not the same, I just think they are noisy..."

Luo Li'er was lying in front of the window, looking at the old buildings on both sides of the river, and the black-covered boats floating in the river. The scenes in the article seemed to be reflected in reality.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. This is actually the truth.

"I still like that sentence, warm up a bowl of good wine and have a plate of fennel beans."

Jiang Chen who was driving the car said with a smile: "We must go to Xianheng Restaurant later."

"I've been to Lu Xun's former residence, I won't go in later, I'll wait for you in the car."

Pei Yunxi said suddenly.

"Sister, you can go again if you have been there, you are so boring in the car alone."

"It's okay, I'll follow in, and I have to worry about being recognized, and you're not comfortable walking around."

"There was no one in Lanting just now..."

Luo Li'er wanted to persuade her again, but Jiang Chen, who saw that Pei Yunxi had something on her mind, interjected, "Xue Luo, since Miss Pei has been there, then forget it, and it's the same if I go shopping with you."

Seeing that her cousin seemed to be really lacking in interest, Luo Lier didn't force her anymore.

"……OK then."

The hometown of Lu Xun is located on Lu Xun Middle Road. It is the best-preserved historical district in Shaocheng with the most cultural connotation, the classic style of the ancient water town and the unique Jiangnan style.

After construction, on both sides of a narrow bluestone road, there are white walls and black tiles, bamboo silk gates, Lu Xun's ancestral residence, Lu Xun's former residence, Baicao Garden, Sanwei Bookstore, and Xianheng Hotel interspersed...

A small river flows in front of the former residence of Lu Xun, and the awning boats dangle on the river. This scene makes people easily think of some scenes in Lu Xun's works.

"Senior Jiang, why does my sister seem to have something on her mind?"

Pei Yunxi did not get off the car, Jiang Chen accompanied Luo Lier into Lu Xun's former residence.

The former residence is laid out in the form of Taimen, with six front and rear entrances, and after stepping through the first Taimen bucket, you will come to the flat house and long corridor;
"Do you feel that Miss Pei seems to know that woman just now?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"It's the one we met in Lanting."

Pei Yunxi's strange reaction all started from that memorial hall, Jiang Chen tentatively asked Luo Li'er, "Xue Luo, have you seen that woman?"

"No."

Luo Li'er shook her head without thinking, and replied quite positively, "If I have seen her, I will definitely not forget it."

Jiang Chen had no doubts about this statement.

That woman did have an unforgettable aura.

The well-known two jujube trees have naturally disappeared, but the Baicao Garden has been preserved, and it can be directly accessed from the door in the middle of the sixth entrance.

Acacia trees, mulberry trees, etc. were planted in the garden, and there were buildings such as low walls and wells. Jiang Chen acted as a photographer and took many photos of Luo Lier.

Because Pei Yunxi was still in the car, the two of them didn't stroll around for too long, and walked out after more than half an hour.

When he came to the car, he found Pei Yunxi on the phone.

So the two waited quietly outside the car, until Pei Yunxi finished calling before Luo Lier opened the door.

"Sister, get out of the car and go eat."

Xianheng Hotel is famous far and wide for a piece of "Kong Yiji".

A bronze statue of Kong Yiji stands at the door.

As soon as I entered the door, I could see an IOU posted on the bulletin board, which read: Kong Yiji owed nineteen money, March [-]th.

"Boss, bring me a jug of wine and two plates of fennel beans!"

The hotel was buzzing with people, and it was very lively.

It can be heard from the yelling of the diners that most of them should come here because of their reputation.

Pei Yunxi was still dressed in a mask and sunglasses, and sat down at an empty table in the northeast corner, facing the window, from which she could see the scenery of the river.

Jiang Chen and Luo Lier stood on the left and on the right, consciously blocking the sight of the surrounding diners for her.

"Everyone, what to eat?"

The waiter, who was dressed like a character in the book, came to entertain him, with a towel hanging on his shoulder, very vivid.

"Let's take a look first, and call you when we're done."

Jiang Chen asked him to put down the menu.

"Alright, just wait and see."

"Give."

Jiang Chen handed the menu to Luo Lier.

Luo Lier looked down, "Senior Jiang, do you drink?"

Jiang Chen hesitated.

"I still have to drive, forget it."

"It's going to be dark soon, and I can't go to other places. Why are you still driving, and I heard that Shaocheng's wine is very famous."

Luo Lier raised her head, "How about I drink with you?"

Jiang Chen subconsciously glanced at Pei Yunxi.

"Just drink if you want to drink, just don't get drunk."

Pei Yunxi said empathetically.

"OK then."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded.

"waiter……"

Luo Lier waved.

The dishes are naturally unimportant. As the two sisters, they have never tasted delicacies from mountains and seas. Just like all diners, what everyone tastes is actually the atmosphere of this restaurant.

Fennel beans are naturally indispensable, and Luo Lier also ordered several bowls of different kinds of wine.

"This rice wine is good, sweet and sour, sister, would you like to try it?"

When eating, Pei Yunxi naturally took off his mask, and in order to avoid being discovered, he could only lower his head as much as possible.

"Drink yourself."

She refused to share with her sister, except for necessary entertainment, she rarely drank in private.

"Nuerhong, this name is really nice, I don't know who chose it."

Luo Li'er didn't force her, she picked up another bowl to taste, and she ordered almost all the wine sold in the shop.It's like coming here for wine tasting.

"Do you know why it's called Nurhong?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Luo Li'er shook her head with inquiring eyes.

"This kind of wine has been recorded in the annals of history in the Jin Dynasty. In the past, when a wealthy family gave birth to a daughter, the father would brew three jars of wine from the glutinous rice in the three-acre field. The jars were carefully sealed and buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the backyard. The hidden father's love. Wait until the day when the daughter is married, then use wine as a dowry gift and send it to her husband's house respectfully. Later, it gradually passed down and became a custom that has been passed down in Shaocheng for a long time. Moved only to Dongguan Live, watch the moon in the lake every night, this famous sentence was written by Lu You after drinking his daughter's red wine."

"Senior Jiang, you even know this, you are amazing."

Luo Lier opened her eyes wide, full of wonder, "What about this flower carving?"

Jiang Chen was silent for a while, and picked up a fennel bean.

"In ancient times, due to underdeveloped medical technology, the survival rate of newborns was very low. People in Shaocheng would bury a few jars of good wine after giving birth to a girl. Turning into a flower carving means that the girl withers like a flower."

Luo Lier, who originally thought the name was very nice, was caught off guard.

"Of course, there is another saying that if a woman is not married before the age of 30, it is like a flower withered and withered, so it is called Huadiao. If it is put into place now, I don't know how many older young women have to drink a bowl of Huadiao wine. .”

Jiang Chen chewed the fennel beans, and added with a smile.

"Senior Jiang, you are really well-educated."

Luo Lier felt it, and only then remembered that the other party had the title of wit besides the reputation of licking dogs, but because the former was too loud, the latter was overshadowed.

Eating and chatting, talking and laughing.

Not to mention Pei Yunxi, at least the relationship between Jiang Chen and Luo Li'er has indeed been brought closer.

From the awning boat not far from Xianheng Hotel, melodious opera ditties came out, along the lights on both sides of the river bank, drifting away with the river water.

Hearing from the waiter in the shop that Shao Opera was sung in the boat, it might be because of the alcohol, Luo Lier's eyes were a little blurred, she looked out the window, "Sister, let's rent a boat later, shall we?"

"it is good."

Pei Yunxi really didn't eat much, so she put down her chopsticks first, and wiped her mouth with a tissue, as if to make up for her sister. As long as Luo Lier asked for a trip this time, she would hardly object.

"eat quickly."

Luo Li'er, whose mind had already been hooked by the black boat outside, urged Jiang Chen, and really complied with that principle. After getting acquainted with it, it is true that she will no longer be so polite to those close to her.

"Shop waiter, pay the bill."

Jiang Chen was also very straightforward, and immediately waved.

Walking out of the Xianheng Hotel, the night has already diffused, and the human fireworks from the people on both sides of the strait render the Jiangnan water town more hazy and beautiful.

There are many awning boats docked by the river, and the boatmen gossiped and chatted, waiting for tourists.

"Master, are you picking up the guests?"

"pick up."

"how much is it?"

"Two hundred for one, charter a thousand."

"I packed it."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, "Get on the boat."

After being drunk, I don't know that the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy.

With the ups and downs of the oars, the water waves set off waves of gentle ripples, and the two sides of the bank slowly retreated.

"It must be very good to come to this kind of place to retire in the future."

Jiang Chen expressed his feelings.

"You're only so old, that's all you think about."

Because there was only one boatman on the boat, and he was paddling at the end of the bed, Pei Yunxi didn't have to be so defensive. He didn't take off his mask, but took off his sunglasses. After all, wearing sunglasses at night is not to hide people's eyes and ears, but to attract attention.

"That's right, Senior Jiang, you haven't graduated from college yet, and you're starting to think about your old age."

Luo Lier must be a little drunk, sitting on the bow of the boat, leaning on her sister's shoulder.

The two sisters are so beautiful that one cannot bear to look away.

"Senior Jiang, why don't you tell me the story between you and Sister Ai?"

Before this kind of question, Luo Li'er would definitely not ask it abruptly, but tonight she drank some wine, and her relationship with Jiang Chen got closer, so she didn't worry so much anymore.

"You should have heard it all. What's there to say?"

"Most of the rumors are false, and no one involved can be reliable."

Luo Li'er really doesn't believe it right now, this young man is really a well-known dog licker in the school. She has actually been curious about this question for a long time, but she has never been ashamed to ask.

"It's all in the past, there's nothing to talk about."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Then Senior Jiang, do you think people should choose someone you like, or someone who likes you?"

Luo Lier quickly changed the way of asking.

Pei Yunxi looked at the sparkling river, but didn't interrupt.

Jiang Chen smiled wryly.

Why did this girl ask herself such tricky questions?

"Sister Luo, I think this question is a bit redundant for you."

"why?"

"Because I don't think you will encounter such a predicament. Only if you like others, there is no question of whether others will like you."

Of course, Luo Li'er heard the compliment beyond the other's words, and her cherry lips pursed into a delicate curve, although she was a little drunk, her brain was not slow to react, and she quickly asked: "Senior Jiang, do you like me too? "

Jiang Chen suddenly had nothing to say.

"Look, it's a lie to say that anyone will like me."

The silent Pei Yunxi should also be listening to their chat, because she was wearing a mask and couldn't see their expressions clearly, but the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, which was clearer than the bright moon in the sky.

"Senior Jiang, you haven't answered my question yet."

About feelings, you ask your sister, why do you ask me?
Doesn't she have much more experience than herself?
Jiang Chen coughed lightly, and could only open his mouth and say: "I think this question, the benevolent sees the benevolence, and the wise sees the wisdom. After all, money is hard to buy and I am happy."

Luo Lier was obviously not satisfied with this perfunctory answer.

"Senior Jiang, can't you give me some advice?"

"I can only say that when you are with someone you like, besides liking, you may encounter many other unpleasant things. When you are with someone who likes you, it may be easy to do anything except not being moved."

"Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"

Jiang Chen paused, "...Emotions can be cultivated slowly. The most important thing is to see if the three views are compatible, whether they can eat together, whether there is a common topic, as long as these things are agreed, Whether you like him or he likes you is no longer so important, because under the compatible soul, you will eventually attract each other..."

Hearing this, Pei Yunxi couldn't help but glance at him.

"Hey! Take a look, is there something floating there..."

The boatman's shout came from behind.

The awning boat stopped.

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at where the boatman was pointing.

On the gloomy river surface, there is a black mass, which seems to be sinking or floating.

Jiang Chen's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help standing up, with a look of surprise.

How is that like.

Is it a person? !
