Film and Television: Happy Life Beginning in Ode to Joy

Plans don’t change quickly

After dinner, He Xiaoming visited the famous garden in Wuxi - Jichang Garden.

This garden is famous for its beautiful landscape and exquisite architecture. Walking in the garden, they admired the beautiful scenery of rockeries, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, and felt the charm of ancient garden art.

As night falls, the lights become brighter and brighter.

Various colored lanterns are hung throughout the garden. This is not a place for people in the world, but an elegant place for literati and poets to wander.

He Xiaoming was accompanied by three stunning female companions. Coupled with his aura, anyone could see that he was a handsome young man from a well-known family.

There were many people who wanted to come to He Xiaoming to say hello and look familiar, but they were dismissed casually by He Xiaoming.

However, it was precisely because there were too many disturbing literati and prostitutes that a few people quickly lost interest in playing, which was still a bit disappointing.

He Xiaoming originally thought that if there were few people in the garden, he could find a small corner to share the comfort with the three girls, but now he can only nip this idea in the bud.

Abi: "Sir, it's getting late now, otherwise we should find a place to rest."

He Xiaoming: "Okay, how about the Songhe Tower? I heard that the Songhe Tower in Wuxi City is quite famous."

A'Zhu and A Bi looked at each other, and after a little hesitation, they nodded.

Seeing A'Zhu, A Bi's expression felt a little wrong. He Xiaoming asked: "Is there any problem?"

A'Zhu: "Sir, Songhe Tower can only be regarded as an ordinary restaurant in Wuxi City. It is more famous among ordinary people, but it is very popular with some Jianghu wanderers. The most famous thing is that their drinks are very spicy. Popular with people in the world.”

He Xiaoming nodded, indicating that he understood, which meant that Songhe Tower was just average and not top-notch in Wuxi City.

Local powerful people like A'Zhu and A Bi, who were born in Shenhe Village, may not look down on Songhe Tower, which is roaming around in the world.

He Xiaoming doesn't know what famous restaurants and inns there are in Wuxi. The only one he knows about is the Songhe Tower. After all, this is the place where Qiao Feng and Duan Yu have a drink. Whether it is in the TV series or the original book, it is a place where It’s a very impressive move.

He Xiaoming: "This is the Songhe Tower. If we wait for someone here, we don't know if we can wait for him?"

A'Zhu, A Bi and Wang Yuyan cast puzzled looks. Didn't He Xiaoming just come out of the world? Who is he waiting for here? Is there an acquaintance coming?

He Xiaoming: "We are waiting here for Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggar Clan. After entering Wuxi City, I made a prediction for myself. Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggar Clan, will definitely appear in a place called Songhe Tower in the next two days."

A'Zhu, A Bi and Wang Yuyan all looked surprised after hearing this.

A'Zhu: "Sir, do you know how to tell fortunes?"

He Xiaoming had a meaningful smile on his face: "What, you don't believe it?"

A'Zhu nodded seriously: "I believe it. I believe everything you say."

Abi and Wang Yuyan also nodded: "We believe it too."

He Xiaoming's background is really amazing. He knows so many strange things about the world at such a young age, and he has always lived in a small mountain village. He knows so many things just after he came out of the world. He must have extraordinary abilities. , now that He Xiaoming said that he could tell fortunes, they naturally believed it.

It's just that the people who told people's fortunes that I met or heard about in the past were all charlatans. It seemed that this time I really met the God of Fortune, and such a divine fortune teller was still my man.

Life is indeed full of surprises.

He Xiaoming was actually not sure whether he could wait for Qiao Feng. After all, this was just a guess on his part.

In the original drama, Duan Yu was imprisoned in Mantuo Villa for a period of time before he escaped from Mantuo Villa with Wang Yuyan and others, and then met Qiao Feng in Songhe Tower.

There is no exact time for how many days Duan Yu was imprisoned in Mantuo Villa. After leaving Taihu Lake, Duan Yu separated from A'Zhu Abi and others. Did he go directly into the city or wander outside for two days? I just went to Songhe Tower to drink to drown my sorrows. There is no description of this.

He Xiaoming doesn't know what Qiao Feng looks like in this world. It's just that the satellite is always watching overhead. There has never been a group of beggars gathering in the apricot forest near Wuxi City. Therefore, it is guessed that Qiao Feng has not yet Appear.

Then just sit back and wait here.

It would be a great loss to come to Tianlong World and not know Qiao Feng.

He Xiaoming and his party arrived at Songhe Tower. The atmosphere here was very lively and there was an endless stream of people from all walks of life. However, the appearance of the four people still made the entire Songhe Tower instantly quiet.

Just like what A'Zhu and A Bi said, Songhe Tower is a restaurant where people from all walks of life gather. Those high-end literati will not come to this kind of place where they think they are just ordinary people.

He Xiaoming was well-dressed and very good-looking, and he was accompanied by three fair-looking women. He didn't look like someone who would come to a place like Songhe Tower to eat.

Or the Wangchun Tower next to it is more suitable for people like them who look like young masters from aristocratic families.

Fortunately, the people in the hall were just stunned for a moment, and then continued the excitement before. Although they would look at He Xiaoming from time to time, there were no troublemakers.

But it's normal to think about it. The boss of Songhe Tower can open a restaurant here specifically to entertain martial arts people. I'm afraid the relationship behind it is not ordinary.

Just when He Xiaoming was thinking about the special relationship behind Songhe Tower, he saw a fat boss wearing silk and satin running out from behind in a hurry.

The boss stopped next to the four of them with a respectful look on his face: "Miss A'Zhu, Miss A Bi, and these two gentlemen, I wonder why they came to Songhe Tower so late?"

A'Zhu looked at the fat boss expressionlessly: "Prepare two of the best guest rooms for us, make room for us upstairs, and serve some of our specialty dishes."

Seeing A'Zhu's master-like instructions, He Xiaoming suddenly realized that the Songhe Tower should be the property of the Murong family, right?

It must be!

The Murong family is a local wealthy family. Although there are only two or three kittens in the TV series, if you want to restore the country, you can't do it without money. There must be more properties, but they are hidden under the water and have not been discovered. That’s all.

TV dramas all revolve around the protagonists, and no one would film these inconsequential details. He Xiaoming didn't ask any more questions and found a seat by the window upstairs, where he could see the lively scene downstairs.

He Xiaoming didn't ask, and A'Zhu and A Bi naturally wouldn't say much. Although they were now He Xiaoming's women, in essence, they were still the maids of the Murong family.

Senior maids are also maids.

Songhe Tower is the property of the Murong family, and A'Zhu and A Bi have a relatively high status among the servants, so naturally they can come when they want, but there are some things that are not suitable to be said at this time.

Abi: "Sir, are you sure Gang Leader Qiao will come here?"

Abi asked while pouring tea for Xiao Ming. Although they had already had a good meal when they entered Wuxi City, after all, they were visiting gardens and shopping streets. It was too early to tell whether it was too late. It's not too late, just treat it as a late night snack.

Moreover, I rode on horseback for several hours today. Although I was just walking slowly, my body was covered with some dust and sweat stains. I had to go back to the room to wash up before I could rest.

He Xiaoming nodded: "Don't worry, I guess he will definitely come, it will only be in these two days."

Time passes slowly. The advantage of not having a curfew is that it makes the night more prosperous. It is almost 10 o'clock in the evening. Although the tourists outside have gradually gone home and complained, the Songhe Tower is still full of people.

He Xiaoming listened to the conversation downstairs for a while. Most of them were talking about what great things the Beggars Gang had done, how brave and invincible the leader of the Beggars Gang was, and how Murong Fu used his methods to do the same thing. , how powerful, how many martial arts celebrities have been killed recently and so on.

Now the most popular people in the world are Nan Murong and Bei Qiao Feng, and the topics of discussion basically revolve around these two.

He Xiaoming felt a little funny. It seemed that whether it was the real world or the martial arts world, gossip was the eternal center.

He Xiaoming just took a few bites of the food and then put down his chopsticks. A'Zhu was right, this place was indeed much worse than Zui Jiangnan.

But the price is indeed cheap, no wonder it attracts so many people with little money.

After listening to the discussions among the people in the world for a while, they each went back to their rooms to rest. A'Zhu and A Bi shared a room, and He Xiaoming and Wang Yuyan shared a room.

The inns outside are not as good as the big beds in Mantuo Villa. Two people can sleep in one bed, and it will be crowded if more. This can be regarded as an opportunity created by A'Zhu and A Bi for Wang Yuyan alone.

This afternoon, He Xiaoming and Abi had been riding on the same horse. Even A'Zhu felt a little sour in his heart, not to mention the little girl Wang Yuyan.

However, this arrangement still made Wang Yuyan a little shy.

A night of silence and three poles in the sun.

Compared with one room, two rooms were slightly different for He Xiaoming. At least it made him run a few more times at night, but when they got up at midnight, several people still got up.

After all, we are in an inn outside, and the sound insulation of the house is basically non-existent, so He Xiaoming will not make too much noise.

The four of them had just walked to their usual place on the second floor when they saw an acquaintance. Duan Yu was leaning against the window alone, and he didn't know how long he had been drinking.

Anyway, judging from Duan Yu's red face, he probably drank the wine as water early in the morning.

A'Zhu frowned, stretched out his hand to greet the boss, and pointed at Duan Yu: "Boss, what's going on with that person?"

After all, Duan Yu is still A'Zhu's younger brother in name. Seeing Duan Yu drowning his sorrows in a restaurant early in the morning, it is appropriate to show some concern.

Boss: "Miss A'Zhu, what's the problem with that man? He has been here for several days. He gets up early in the morning and drinks here every day. He drinks all day long. Seeing that he has never caused trouble, I don't care. Leave him alone."

Duan Yu has absorbed Jiumozhi's internal power and can now be regarded as a top expert. Even though he has drunk a lot of wine, the voice of A'Zhu talking to the shop owner is also accurate. in his ears.

Duan Yu raised his head in confusion and saw He Xiaoming, A'Zhu, A Bi and Wang Yuyan at a glance. His eyes instantly changed from confused to excited.

Duan Yu: "Sister Yuyan, sister Azhu, and girl Abi, why are you here?"

He Xiaoming curled his lips helplessly. He was such a big living person sitting here. He couldn't believe that Duan Yu couldn't see him. He clearly did it on purpose.

A'Zhu: "We went out to wander around the world with the young master, but you were here drinking early in the morning. If you didn't go home early, what were you doing here?"

Duan Yu: "I...I...Sister Yuyan, that boy..."

He Xiaoming: "Hey, it turns out to be my brother-in-law. You were so drunk that I didn't recognize him for a while."

Duan Yu frowned: "Who is your brother-in-law? Don't mistakenly identify relatives."

The smile on He Xiaoming's face became brighter: "Yuyan and A'Zhu are both my wives now. According to our relationship, I should indeed call Mr. Duan brother-in-law. When I have time, I will also visit my father-in-law. grown ups."

Duan Yu's face turned darker, and he turned his head away from looking at He Xiaoming. He didn't pour the wine into the wine glass this time. He directly picked up the wine bottle and took a big sip, then choked himself and coughed violently several times.

Being choked while drinking made Duan Yu look even more embarrassed. He realized that nothing good had happened to him since he met He Xiaoming. Although he had the strength and confidence of a top expert because of He Xiaoming, he just I hate He Xiaoming.

At this moment, a powerful-sounding voice came from the side: "Shopkeeper, cut 2 pounds of cooked meat and bring 5 pounds of sorghum."

He Xiaoming turned around and saw a man in shabby cloth sitting at the table next to them with a golden sword.

He Xiaoming looked at the upright face of the man at the next table, as well as the tone of his voice just now, especially the jade bamboo stick on his waist. His identity was obvious.

This was a coincidence. I had just arrived in Wuxi City yesterday, and today Gang Leader Qiao came to my door.

He Xiaoming had a smile on his face. This Qiao Feng was indeed not much different from what he had imagined. He could tell at a glance that he was a powerful man: "Shopkeeper, give me another 10 kilograms of sorghum to give to this brother. Today, this brother All the food and drinks in Taiwan are on my account."

Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked surprised: "Do we know this little brother?" (End of Chapter)
