There was a small town called Tongan, forty miles west of the Dingjiakang Depression. Although it was not a big place, it was accessible from all directions and was convenient for transportation. In Tongan, there was a small town called Tongjiajie, forty miles west of the Dingjiajie Depression. Waterways and roads are very convenient, so people from all over the world come and go.
There were restaurants, teahouses, taverns, butcher shops, vegetable stalls, and all sorts of other shops in Tongan City. On the streets, there were many performers, such as acrobats, jugglers, and dancers, all sorts of different types of people. The streets were crowded with pedestrians, carriages, shouts, cries for sale, cheers, and the sound of drums and gongs. The sounds reached their ears and intertwined with each other.
Li Xian'er walked through the crowd. After walking for half a day, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger and her mouth was dry. She looked up at the sun and saw that it was ten in the morning. She rubbed her stomach, which was growling, and looked around for a place to eat. It was easy to find a restaurant, but she didn't want to find a restaurant that was filled to the brim with people. On one hand, it was too noisy, and on the other hand, she was feeling extremely embarrassed.
At this time, a tall and handsome young man walked out of the inn. His hair was tied with a gold crown of colored sand, and he held an ivory folding fan in his hand. He wore a goose-yellow robe with a mysterious coupla
The young master leisurely hummed a little tune and lightly waved the folding fan in his hand. He squinted his eyes as he watched the passersby, as if he was thinking about where he should go next. Suddenly, he saw his eyes light up and the corner of his mouth rose slightly. He kept his fan and quickly walked into the crowd.
She asked the shop owner for a bowl of noodles. While she was waiting for the noodles, a richly dressed, refined young master walked over, coincidentally, with a bowl of steaming hot noodles in front of him. Li Xian'er was so hungry that her eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, and she could not care less about her image as she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat the noodles.
As she lowered her head to eat, a person had already entered her sight and sat down across from her. She raised her head and saw that it was the son of a rich family with an extraordinary demeanor, fanning himself while looking at her with a smile. Li Xian'er only knew that she had met a bored hedonistic son of a bitch who had nothing better to do. She couldn't help but frown as she lowered her head and continued eating.
The young master let out a long sigh and leisurely said, "As the saying goes, the four most fortunate things in life are: 'When there is a long drought, when there is a dew, when he meets an old friend.'" Little brother, do you know what kind of fortunate thing happened to me? If you are right, I have a reward. "
Li Xian'er ignored him and continued to lower her head to eat. She didn't expect this young master to be so uninterested in his own food. Instead of leaving, he took a step further and sat down beside her.
Li Xian'er couldn't help but stop and look him in the eye. She asked: "Sir, just speak your mind. I don't even know you, so there's no need to sit so close, is there?"
"You don't recognize me, but I recognize you." The young master proudly said, "Since we are able to meet again in this vast sea of people, not only does it mean that we are fated to meet, it also means that our fates are not shallow."
With that, he suddenly grabbed Li Xian'er's hand and said, "Let's go. Big Brother is feeling happy today. I'll treat you to a good meal!" With that, he dragged her out of the noodle shop, not caring about whether she was happy or not.
Li Xian'er shouted nonstop: "Hey hey, what are you doing, let go of me! I don't know you, so let go of me quickly! " However, the young master didn't make a sound. Instead, he tightened his grip.
"Hey, you, where are you taking me?"
"Young master, you're being so rude, where's the question?" …
When the noodle store waiter saw this, he ran out and shouted, "Guest, guest, your money is still not paid!"
The young master took out a piece of silver from his waist and threw it towards the waiter.
"Who are you? I don't even know you, why are you being so courteous? Perhaps you mistook him for someone else? How can there be a fool like you who would simply invite a random person to a meal on the streets? Are you really stupid? "
Li Xian'er's mouth was like a string of cannons as she asked a bunch of questions in one go.
"It's true that you don't recognize me. It is true that I recognize you, but you will soon think of me." The corner of that Young Master's mouth curled up as he smiled. On the other hand, the more Li Xian'er heard, the more confused she became.
Just like that, the two of them walked into a large restaurant. Only then did the Young Master let go of Li Xian'er's hand and tilt his head, "Here we are. Come, let's go in." As she spoke, she swaggered into the restaurant with her fan, and Li Xian'er could only follow after her.
When the bartender saw a well-dressed young master, he welcomed them warmly and led them to the table. He served tea and poured water before asking politely, "Two guests, what would you like to eat?"
The young master looked around and said, "Your restaurant is quite impressive. I'm sure you can cook all the dishes here?"
"Yes!" That's right! The master of our restaurant can cook all kinds of dishes from all over the world.
"Great, then let's have a steamed chicken, duck, kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope, a pot of carved flowers, and two servings of rice."
The bartender bowed and said, "Sure, please wait here. The dishes will be served soon." He loudly hung his throat as he announced the name of the dish to the kitchen.
"Shua!" The young master closed his fan and placed it on the table. He asked, "Little brother, you seem to be in a hurry. Where are you going?"
"I-I want to go back to Liuji Town. It's a little — nothing."
"Oh, since it's just a small matter, then it doesn't matter. How about we drink until we're drunk?"
"Why?"
"Isn't it hard for him to meet old friends in his hometown? Isn't it worth celebrating?"
"Who's the one who knows you? Why can't I remember having such an old friend?"
While they were talking, the dishes they had ordered earlier were placed one by one on the table. The bartender loudly sang, "The dishes are all here. This is your wine. Please enjoy yourself. If you want to add anything else, please pass it to me."
The young master nodded, and the bartender bowed to him before hurriedly calling out to the other customers.
The Young Master opened the cork and sniffed the bottle, sighing, "Good wine, good wine." As she spoke, she was about to pour some into Li Xian'er's cup. Li Xian'er hastily covered the cup with her hand and said, "I … I don't drink. " The Young Master was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "What man doesn't know how to drink? Come on, don't be shy like a big girl. I'm happy today, so let's have a drink. "
Li Xian'er frowned and said, "I really don't know how to drink." Seeing that Li Xian`er couldn't refuse, the Young Master could only give up. He poured himself a cup, picked up his chopsticks, and looked at the dishes in front of him as he said, "Whoever eats with this Young Master will have their blessings. Today, it's Little Brother's turn to have his blessings."
"Young Master, why do you say that?"
The young master only smiled but didn't reply.
