The terrain in the west is complex and there are many mountains, so many lakes have been created, which is unique in Subei. On the second morning, when the sun just came out, Lu Chengfeng took Xie Jiuxiao out.

Today is a good day, the two of them had breakfast at a small stall, bought a few snacks to take with them, and set off for the famous Qingluan Mountain in the west, where you can see different scenery no matter at the foot of the mountain or at the mountainside, and the mountain At the foot of the Qingluan Lake, there are paddles for people to play, which is suitable for people who go out in spring.

The two of them are not in a hurry, so riding a horse is not a lot of fun. Xie Jiuxiao seldom goes out, the world of Yanjing is too prosperous, at this moment in the mountains and rivers, the blue sky and white clouds are in sight, the trees on both sides of the road are sprouting, and in a blink of an eye It's another spring, and this year's spring is still accompanied by her.

Xie Jiuxiao was in a good mood. Seeing the small boat in the distance, he thought that he must go with Lu Chengfeng for a ride, so he went there first, asked the ferryman the price, and then waved to Lu Chengfeng: "Sister, come quickly! Let's take a boat!"

Lu Chengfeng tied up the horse, and after paying the money, he declined the boatman's offer to help with paddling, stepped into the boat, and rowed the boat far away by himself.

There are many bends in Qingluan Lake, and the bends circle more than a dozen directions. After a while, the boat will hide in the center of the lake, looking like a leaf from a distance.

The breeze was gentle, Lu Chengfeng stopped the oars and went into the cabin, Xie Jiuxiao was resting his arm on his head, playing with a twig he picked from nowhere, feeling very comfortable, when he heard her sitting down, he didn't open his eyes, but Shi Youyou sighed: "There is a poem saying, I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this."

The boat drifted slowly with the current, Lu Chengfeng lay down beside him, closing his eyes imitatively, Xie Jiuxiao said: "Sister, did you often come here before?"

"Come once or twice."

Xie Jiuxiao was not a quiet person, so he opened his eyes and looked at her after closing his eyes for a while: "Who are they all with?"

Lu Chengfeng didn't speak.

Xie Jiuxiao was unsure for a moment: "Don't tell me it's Xue Feng..."

Lu Chengfeng said softly: "My brother."

Xie Jiuxiao choked suddenly.

Lu Chengfeng said: "Jin Nian was as happy as you are today at the beginning, and also read a poem, but seeing the mountain..."

"Clouds and mountains are chaotic, dawn and mountains are green."

Lu Chengfeng opened his eyes, and there was both confusion and a smile in his eyes: "He didn't like studying since he was a child, he was mischievous, and my mother couldn't control him, so I could only find time to write letters to him, telling him to study hard, and lying to him that it would be fine. You can't be illiterate when you enter the barracks."

Xie Jiuxiao was afraid that she would be sad, so he couldn't help holding her hand. Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "What are you doing in broad daylight? It's an insult to gentleness."

Xie Jiuxiao chuckled and said, "So what if it's broad daylight? I can hold this hand whenever I want. I'll see who dares to chew their tongues."

"The tongue grows on someone's body, so what if they want to talk about you?"

"Meddle in your own business, I pulled out his tongue."

Lu Chengfeng scratched his palm: "Second Young Master has such a temper, if someone else says a few words, he will pull out his tongue."

Xie Jiuxiao hit her with a branch long in the palm of his hand, and Lu Chengfeng made a gesture: "Okay, you dare to hit me—"

Talking about pulling her away, Xie Jiuxiao was afraid of crushing her, so he put one hand on her side, facing her face, Lu Chengfeng said in a low voice, "You are so daring to hit me."

Xie Jiuxiao snorted and said, "I'll hit you, what's the matter? Throw me out if you have the ability."

Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes: "You think I dare not?"

Xie Jiuxiao is not afraid of her tricks: "You throw it away, throw it out, you are murdering your husband."

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help laughing, and said, "I'm really not ashamed."

Xie Jiuxiao stared at her: "Oh? I'm not ashamed? Is it me?"

Lu Chengfeng answered frankly: "Of course it's you."

"Do you dare to take your hand away?"

Lu Chengfeng followed the good advice: "No."

She pressed her hand on Xie Jiuxiao's left waist and abdomen, neither light nor heavy, as if she was playing with an object carelessly, but with a vague sense of fun, Xie Jiuxiao let her do it for a while, and saw that her behavior became more and more presumptuous , Qingtian wanted to stop it: "Stop making trouble—"

Lu Chengfeng put his arms around her waist and pressed down, Xie Jiuxiao fell on her firmly this time, Lu Chengfeng didn't feel the weight, so he slightly raised his head and kissed Xie Jiuxiao, and kissed Xie Jiuxiao for a long time in this landscape.She has always been doing whatever she wants, and she became more and more unruly with her hands. Xie Jiuxiao was in a hurry by her teasing. After eating it over and over again, she buried her head in the pit of her neck in embarrassment and couldn't stop panting.

Neither of them had any intention of climbing the mountain, so they ate a few pieces of snacks at noon, facing the sun covering the water, the scenery was quite good, they took a nap, and then turned back to the inn.

Lu Chengfeng took people around for two or three days, and after visiting several places with beautiful scenery in Xilin, he returned to the city and took him to taste Xilin's delicacies. The hundred and ten taels of silver on his body was enough for the two of them to go shopping. He was having such a great time, five days passed in a blink of an eye, and after thinking about it, he had almost finished playing, so he was going to go back home tomorrow. Today, Lu Chengfeng took him to the famous Jingren Pavilion in the west, and he didn't have enough money to sit in a private room. , so he simply sat in a secluded part of the lobby and ordered a few special dishes from the restaurant.

Xie Jiuxiao flushed the cup with tea, and then handed her a cup of tea. The location of the two of them was also well chosen. There was a bustling unloading place next to the window. The winding river crossed things, carrying Many people went downstream.

Lu Chengfeng was drinking tea and looking out. The west of March is already the season of spring and flowers blooming. It is noon, the sun is baking the pier, and men are carrying bags after bags of objects to the car. .

After a while, Xiao Er came over with an apologetic expression on his face: "I'm sorry, my guests, the drunken prawns in honey sauce you ordered are sold out today, do you need another dish?"

Xie Jiuxiao couldn't help being a little disappointed. When Lu Chengfeng first came here, he kept telling him that the drunken shrimp here was excellent, and it was still sweet.

Lu Chengfeng didn't pay much attention to it. The ingredients in Jingren Restaurant are the freshest of the day. In the past, it was often sold out at noon.

Xiao Er didn't expect the two of them to be so easy to talk to, and immediately responded with a smile, and went to the back kitchen to change dishes.

This was originally just a small episode, but soon the food was served, three dishes, one soup, plus a plate of fruit and vegetables, the taste was as usual, authentic and time-honored, and Xie Jiuxiao liked it quite a lot.

When Lu Chengfeng was about to eat, he went to pay the bill. The shopkeeper was thinking about it, and after a while he raised his head and said, "Girl, it's 13 taels in total."

Lu Chengfeng took out the silver and was about to pay, when suddenly a man's voice came from the second floor: "Xiao Er, where is the drunken shrimp that I asked you to serve? Hurry up! My son is waiting!"

Lu Chengfeng paused for his outstretched hand, then slowly withdrew it, and met Xiao Er who came in from the side door, remembering how anxious he was running up and down just now, he said with a smirk: "It's not that there is no love, It’s just giving up the food on my table to someone else.”

Xiao Er's face turned red and white: "Guest officer, you..."

It's fine if it's a normal day, but Lu Chengfeng brought Xie Jiuxiao here specially, and was put in this dish, how could he be willing, and said with a blank expression: "If you don't serve me this dish today, I will beat you up." This shop!"

She didn't settle the bill after she finished speaking, and turned back to the table. Xie Jiuxiao was drinking soup, seeing her expression was not right, said: "What's going on?"

Lu Chengfeng didn't say anything, just said: "Eat, there is another dish."

Maybe it's because she has too much aura of coldness. When she doesn't smile, her face is always inexplicably cold. Ordinary people don't dare to say much when they see it, but Xie Jiuxiao is not afraid of her, and silently hands a spoon.

Lu Chengfeng bowed his head and drank it out of face, but there was no smile on his face, so Xie Jiuxiao swallowed the soup silently.

Lu Chengfeng caught a glimpse of the shopkeeper walking over with Xiaoer, and the shopkeeper apologized: "Girl, there is indeed only this one left of this drunken shrimp. Look, how about a free dish from the shop?"

Lu Chengfeng folded his arms and leaned back: "No need, just serve the shrimp to me."

Xie Jiuxiao understood after hearing this, put down the bowl, picked up the tea and drank slowly without speaking.

The shopkeeper was immediately embarrassed: "Miss, otherwise, the restaurant has invited the two of you for today's meal. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that there are two sons from the Du family and the Jiang family sitting on it. I really can't afford to offend you." .”

Lu Chengfeng didn't mean to make things difficult on purpose. When he heard the first half of the sentence, he thought that he had such a good attitude, so he didn't need to hold on to it, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his brows and eyes turned cold for a moment, and he couldn't express his emotions: "The Du family ? Du Rufeng?"

"It's Young Master Du and Young Master Jiang."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Du Tinggui and Jiang Sui."

Seeing her calling the two by their first names, the shopkeeper looked at Lu Chengfeng's attitude and cried out inwardly.

Lu Chengfeng smiled slowly, leaning one hand on the table, looking out the window, but his tone showed an indifference that could not be refused: "Bring the dishes, let them come to me if they need something."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't be fooled anymore, so he ordered Xiao Er to bring the dish up.

Lu Chengfeng pondered over the matter, and didn't speak for a while.

One of the three famous dishes of Jingren Restaurant, a simple dish of drunken shrimp in honey sauce, but it takes a lot of effort to prepare. The shrimp needs to be prepared in the middle of the night, soaked in high-quality Huadiao wine for a long time, and then peeled. Then use ice cubes to keep it fresh, wrap it with a thin layer of flour, quickly oil it, and cook it to ensure the fresh taste to a great extent. Although it is expensive, it is also very popular.

Xie Jiuxiao tasted one and commented: "It's really unique."

Lu Chengfeng's eyes were stained with a little smile, but it was not obvious: "I like to eat and I will return it later."

Suddenly, an angry voice sounded from the second stairway: "Didn't you still have it just now? How dare you play me!"

Then there was a sound, and Xiao Er was kicked down from upstairs.

Lu Chengfeng's face remained unchanged, and he looked at Xie Jiuxiao with a slight smile: "Eat, it's time to lose your appetite."

Xie Jiuxiao didn't ask any more questions, just ate the shrimp in a gentle manner.

Soon he heard footsteps coming this way, Lu Chengfeng held the teacup but didn't intend to drink, and looked out the window.

The voice followed the footsteps from far to near: "I want to see who is so ignorant that he dares to snatch things from the Du family!"
