"What's wrong? Do you need to be surprised?" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked angrily.
"I'm just surprised. Isn't it just Chunshen Lane? Why does the eldest lady of the Xiang family need to work so hard?" Yu Tianlu said, "You have lived in this provincial capital for so long, haven't you ever been to Chunshen Lane? It’s not like we are outsiders.”
"Xiao Lu, why don't you tell me that I have never been to the famous Chunshen Alley in my whole life?" Xiang Xiaoyuan looked embarrassed.
"Have you never been there once? How is that possible!" Yan Yue couldn't believe it.
"Xiaoyuan may be right." Yu Tianlu said, "Didn't Shopkeeper Feng say so? Chunshen Lane is a mixed bag, and the people who go there are ordinary people. It is estimated that their family will not let Xiaoyuan meet such conditions. It’s easy to show up, let alone go to a place like that.”
"Yes, that's right!" Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed, "Actually, I have been locked up at home since I can remember. The only time I traveled far was to your hometown, Muyang Town."
Hearing what Xiang Xiaoyuan said, Yu Tianlu couldn't help but sympathize with this rich young lady.
Although he was the provincial capital and even the envy of the entire Huaxu Kingdom, he lost the most common freedom of ordinary people.
"Life is precious, but love is even more valuable. If it's for freedom, you can throw away both."
Freedom is such a luxury for Xiang Xiaoyuan.
"Then Xiaoyuan, today we will take you to Chunshen Lane to have a long experience!" Yu Tianlu said.
"That's great!" Xiang Xiaoyuan said happily, "Don't worry, I'll pay for all the expenses at the market today."
"Is that so good?" Yan Yue was already drooling after hearing this.
In the mind of this big eater, this market is a place where delicious food gathers. If it weren't for his financial constraints, Yu Tianlu had reason to believe that Yan Yue could sweep the entire food street.
Now that he is paying the bill for Xiaoyuan, a little rich woman, how can he be unhappy?
"Xiaoyuan, look at what you said, how can there be any reason for girls to pay?" Yu Tianlu said, "And I heard shopkeeper Feng said that this Chunshen Lane is different from other markets. It seems that transactions are not simply done with gold coins."
"You don't need gold coins to trade? Then what are you using?" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked.
"I don't know that. Isn't it also the first time for Ayue and I to go?"
"Never mind, let's go and talk first!" After Xiang Xiaoyuan said that, she pulled her two friends and ran away.
After the three of them walked far away, the figure of Mulinfeng appeared from an inconspicuous corner.
Behind him were several civilians pretending to be servants of Xiangfu.
"Mr. Mu, as you expected, the eldest lady has come to find these two boys." A servant said, "What should we do now? Or should I lead someone to chase them back?"
"Chasing them?" Mu Linfeng smiled, "To be honest, with your current strength, you may not be able to subdue them. Not to mention the eldest lady, you may not even be able to catch those two children."
"Um..." The impatient servant blushed, "Mr. Mu, if we brothers can't do it, don't we still have you?"
"Me?" Mulinfeng said, "My mission is not to arrest people. The master asked me to ensure the safety of the eldest lady and bring her back safely."
"Now?"
"Let them enjoy their free time now!" When Mu Linfeng said this, his eyes were full of distress.
Shopkeeper Feng gave them a map before. With the help of this map, Yu Tianlu quickly entered Wuyue District.
As soon as we entered Wuyue District, we heard loud gongs and drums and cheers.
Although the provincial capital is far more prosperous than Muyang Town, at least the several districts Yu Tianlu passed through during this period were relatively quiet.
But this Wuyue District is very different from other areas. It is undoubtedly a noisy existence.
The three friends looked along the lively sounds, and what they saw was a huge overseas Chinese building. There happened to be a drum band passing above, and the high-pitched music spread along the overseas Chinese to every corner of Wuyue District.
"This is the Wuyue District known as the 'noisy neighbor'." Xiang Xiaoyuan said to herself.
"'Noisy Neighbor'? I didn't expect that there is such a nickname in Wuyue District?" Yu Tianlu was a little surprised, "But where does the code come from?"
"I remember when my father entertained the district chiefs of the provincial capital, the district chiefs of other districts kept crowding in on Wuyue District. They even gave Wuyue District this nickname!" Xiang Xiaoyuan explained.
"The district chiefs of each district are indeed the Xiang family, they are so proud!" Yan Yue couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that Wuyue District is very marginalized!" Yu Tianlu said.
"That's right, because Wuyue District has the highest proportion of civilians in the entire provincial capital. There are basically no aristocratic or wealthy families living in this district." Xiang Xiaoyuan introduced, "But I admire their district chief very much."
"Why?"
"Because he can at least withstand the pressure and let the residents here live and work in peace and contentment. Don't you hear the joy of the gongs and drums?"
Yu Tianlu closed his eyes: "Indeed, there is indeed a lot of joy in the air!"
"Okay, you two, can you let go of the happy atmosphere for now?" Yan Yue couldn't help complaining, "We're not here to do research, okay?"
"Haha, I'm sorry, I almost forgot about the business." Xiang Xiaoyuan stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "By the way, Xiaolu, where is Chunshen Lane?"
Yu Tianlu looked at the map, then pointed forward.
“Go through this overseas Chinese building and walk a little further east to see the entrance of Chunshen Lane!”
"Then let's get there quickly!"
The impatient Yan Yue immediately prepared to walk over, but was stopped by Yu Tianlu.
"Ayue, wait a moment."
"What's wrong? Aren't we going to the fair? Why are you stopping me?"
"Ayue, look carefully, it's not that easy to cross that flower bridge!"
I saw that the entrance of the Flower Bridge was crowded with tourists eager to try it, but only a few actually set foot on the bridge. The drum band that had been playing loudly on the flower bridge just now had passed through the flower bridge and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"What's going on? Why don't those people go over?" Yan Yue asked strangely.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I don't dare to go!" Xiang Xiaoyuan pointed to the huge sign hanging above the entrance of Huaqiao and said, "Ayue, you have good eyesight, take a look at what is written on it?"
"Let me take a look!" Yan Yue said, reading out the slogans he saw word by word, "Chun Shen and the golden autumn, the flowers are blooming on the bridge. If you are destined to meet, please cross the bridge to meet .”
"This limerick is not like a limerick, and the quatrain is not like a quatrain. This world is really open to poetry!" Yu Tianlu complained secretly in his heart.
Xiang Xiaoyuan on the side knocked on Yu Tianlu and said, "Xiaolu, what does this poem mean?"
"The literal meaning is that it seems not easy to go to the Chunshen Rally. Only by crossing this flower bridge can you reach the other side to attend." Yu Tianlu explained.
"It's just a bridge. I don't think it's that difficult!" Yan Yue said with a smile.
"Isn't it difficult? My little friend, you seem to be a little ignorant of the world, don't you?" Yan Yue's words aroused dissatisfaction from a young man next to him.
Everyone looked back and saw that the person speaking was a man wearing green clothes and walking lightly.
"I'm sorry, brother, it was me who said something rash!" Yu Tianlu apologized quickly, "This is our first time in Wuyue District to participate in this...this...what Chunshen Lane..."
"It's the Golden Autumn Garden Party in Chunshen Lane!" The man in Tsing Yi couldn't help but say, "It seems like this is your first time in Wuyue District!"
"Yes, my name is Yu Tianlu, and these are my two good partners!"
"Xiang Xiaoyuan!"
"Yan Yue!"
The two friends also reported their names.
"My name is Deng Peng, a native of Wuyue District." The man in Tsing Yi introduced.
"It turns out to be Brother Deng, whom I have admired for a long time." Yu Tianlu said politely, "Brother Deng, can I ask you something?"
"Please tell me something?"
"I see that everyone is gathered here, and they should all be preparing to attend the Golden Autumn Garden Party. Then why is it so late to come to this flower bridge?" Yu Tianlu asked.
"A few children don't know something! Although our Wuyue District is not as prosperous as the surrounding areas, we have our own customs." Deng Peng introduced, "Take this Golden Autumn Garden Party as an example. Not just anyone can participate.”
"Who are those people?" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked curiously.
"This is either the residents living around Chun Shen Lane."
"That's no problem, that's their home." Yu Tianlu nodded.
"Or it's someone who pays a large entrance fee."
"Admission fee? How much is it?" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked.
"If you are from Wuyue District, you can get a discount, almost one gold coin."
"One gold coin? This ticket is a bit expensive!" Yu Tianlu said, "I remember that the ticket for the largest amusement park in the center of the provincial capital was only five silver coins!"
"There's no way around it! You know, our Golden Autumn Garden Party is much more interesting than those amusement parks." Deng Peng said proudly.
"Xiao Lu, it's okay, it's just three gold coins, I can afford it!" Xiang Xiaoyuan said as she prepared to take out her money bag.
"Sorry, little girl, you don't have three gold coins!" Deng Peng smiled slightly.
"How is that possible? Didn't you just say one gold coin per person?"
"I'm talking about us people in Wuyue District. Similar to you foreign tourists, each person is ten gold coins."
"What ten gold coins? I said why don't you go and grab it!" Yan Yue couldn't help but curse.
"Brother Deng, don't we minors get a discount or something?" Yu Tianlu asked.
Deng Peng looked the three of them up and down, thought for a while and said: "It seems that children under ten years old can get half price, that is five gold coins."
"Then the three of us will need fifteen gold coins!" Yan Yue said disappointedly.
Even if it is half price, it is still a sky-high price for two children from a poor family.
"Who said it was fifteen gold coins? Brother, you want ten gold coins!" Deng Peng looked at Yan Yue and said.
"Why? I am also under ten years old!" Yan Yue protested.
"Are you ten years old? Are you kidding me!" Deng Peng gestured to Yan Yue, "You are as tall as me, how can you be under ten years old?"
"This... I'm so tall! I am indeed under ten years old!" At this moment, Yan Yue is really even more unfair than Dou E!
The unscrupulous Yu Tianlu and Xiang Xiaoyuan on the side were already laughing so hard.
"Okay Ayue, whether it's twenty or fifteen, we can't afford this money!" Yu Tianlu said.
"What should we do? We still have to go to Chunshen Lane!" Yan Yue was anxious now.
"If the three of you don't want to pay, there are other ways." At this time, Deng Peng said quietly.
