Chapter 580 Standing on the bridge and watching the scenery

After this tossing, Zhao Changan was delayed for nearly an hour before arriving at the place Tao Jiao mentioned.

He parked the car outside on the side of the road and entered the alley.

It is a quaint century-old street paved with blue stones along both sides of the river. There is an ancient stone bridge every three to four hundred meters on the 30-meter-wide river.

Old trees along the river shade the river and the streets. In many places, old trees are already shaded, completely covering the river, the streets on both sides, and the old facade houses facing the street.

Wall-climbing tiger (Wuye Dijin), Bougainvillea, Shijunzi, morning glory, all over the mottled centuries-old blue brick and stone walls.

Has a 'summer shade' image quality.

Zhao Changan came to the river, first stepped onto a stone bridge, and stood under the shade of a tree in the middle of the bridge to enjoy the wind for a while.

Suddenly thought of a sentence, 'You stand on the bridge to see the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs.The bright moon adorns your windows, and you adorn other people's dreams. '

After getting off the bridge, they walked another mile, and after crossing the bridge once, they saw Tao Jiao drinking tea by the river with a handsome, well-dressed young man under a big Cangqiu tree.

Under the old trees in this section, there are small tables, stools, and deck chairs all around——

At this time, it was already full of people, drinking tea, eating stone jelly, playing cards, and chatting about business.

In short, in the core area of ​​the metropolis, Mingzhu, it is really not easy to find such a good place to return to the basics.

"Mingzhu is still not familiar with it, so I searched a lot. Boss, let me have a bowl of stone jelly and make a cup of green tea."

Zhao Changan walked over, pulled a chair casually and sat down, took out a cigarette and motioned to the young man, "One?"

"Thank you, I'm drinking tea."

The young man smiled and refused, but Zhao Changan knew from the look in his eyes, what a smoking gun!
"I made it so obvious that you must be delayed by something."

Tao Jiao was not so easy to fool, she directly exposed Zhao Changan's lies.

"I just saw him standing on that bridge, more than 300 meters away from here."

The young man smiled and explained for Zhao Changan, explaining that what Zhao Changan said was 'to find a big circle', and it was not aimless.

He said to Zhao Chang'an, "Qi Peng and Tao Jiao are classmates in the same college, but I am two years older than her. My ancestral home is in the mountain city, and I went to the ancestral grave with my father to pay homage last year during Qingming Festival, so I have a lot of affection for the mountain city."

Zhao Changan was suddenly a little nauseous by Qi Peng's phrase 'I saw him standing on that bridge just now', associating with his own phrase 'you stand on the bridge to see the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs'. cold.

Listening to his words 'very affection for the mountain city', I curled my lips in my heart, you have a peeping 'feeling' for Tao Jiao, a beautiful girl from Gwangju, right?

The stall owner brought a bowl of crystal clear stone jelly and a cup of green tea.

At this time, Qi Peng's cell phone rang.

"Mom, I'm in Jinling, I'm not in Mingzhu; besides, sister-in-law and uncle are on vacation for the past two days, and they should be very busy. Um, um, I will go if I have time, but I will go to Jiangcheng tomorrow, and I will see it later Whether to go to Aunt Mingzhu's house or go directly to Yanjing,—"

Qi Peng hung up the phone, smiled and said to Tao Jiao and Zhao Changan: "I have a relative in Mingzhu. My mother thought I would come to Mingzhu, so she would go to Mingzhu when she talked about it, but I will talk about it later when I have a chance."

Zhao Changan thought in his heart that it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it be Qi Xiu's relative in Yanjing?
"Actually, Brother Qi, you don't need to go there. With Lawyer Zheng, we are very confident."

Tao Jiao is really not used to going to Chen City with this senior she doesn't know very well, but he helped her. You must know that Lawyer Zheng is a well-known barrister in China. It wasn't Qi Peng who introduced her. I can't see my face.

"Since we're all here, can I not go? Lawyer Zheng is fine in a big international city like Yanjing Pearl, but in those small cities in the Midwest, sometimes his inferences are not the key to the decision, no matter how strictly prohibited. .”

Both Tao Jiao and Zhao Changan understood.

"Ring Ling Ling ~"

At this time, Qi Peng's cell phone rang again, he glanced at it and said with a smile: "The Chagang is here."

Press the answer key.

Zhao Changan's impression of Qi Peng changed drastically, and he knew that he had guessed wrongly about his gentleman's style.

It turned out that he was really doing good deeds.

After Qi Peng and his girlfriend finished talking on the phone, Tao Jiao explained to Zhao Changan: "Brother Qi said that it was hard to come to Mingzhu once, and he wants me to invite two people to drink with him. Not being a snobby college student has a bit of a reputation."

"Actually, my condition is tailor-made for you. I am Tang Shuang's cousin."

To Zhao Changan's surprise, Qi Peng was very frank: "Xiaoshuang and I often communicate by letter and phone. In the past six months, she has always talked about people and things within one nanometer, such as being entrusted with important tasks by you, making her sleepless nights and nights. Got a new version of the website, made blueprints for villas, and was in charge of the test machine exhibition in the red building area of ​​​​one nanometer, and it was sunburned,—”

Qi Peng spoke with great interest, and Zhao Changan bowed his head and drank the stone jelly.

He knew that Tang Shuang had always complained, but he really didn't think that the complaint would be so big, so will he also reduce her burden next school year?
"—But I heard her complain that she was not having fun, but it sounded like she was showing off to me. I can feel that she really likes her job and the atmosphere in One Nano."

"Uh~"

This turning point made Zhao Changan a little caught off guard.

"Let's go, I'll treat you tonight. Don't compete with me. If you want to talk about the friendship of the landlord, I stayed in Mingzhu for three years in high school. Hehe, this is exactly the opposite of Xiaoshuang."

Qi Peng shouted at the old man who was leisurely playing with the birds: "Boss, pay the bill!"

Under Qi Peng's guidance, Zhao Changan drove the car to the destination, and miraculously found that this place was actually the barbecue stall that Lu Feifei brought over last year.

"The barbecue here is excellent, hehe, I often came here when I was in high school, and I heard from a local brother that the boss was also excellent in fighting back then. Later, something happened in Africa and he lost a leg, so he opened this barbecue stall. "

Qi Peng said with a smile: "Actually, the dividends that the Lu family gives him every year are enough for him to eat all he wants. Barbecue should be a hobby, so it's genuine and the price is fair."

Zhao Changan glanced at Qi Peng, it seems that these second generations are the ones Zhao Changan has come into contact with so far, that is, Zhai Shaobai is a little stupid.

But that grandson was able to get into Fuda by relying on the college entrance examination, obviously he was not an idiot.

In short, none of them can make him get along as easily and easily as reading a kindergarten dictionary.

That night, Zhao Changan and Qi Peng shared a bottle of Yanghe Daqu with mutton skewers, and another bottle of cold beer.

In Qi Peng's words, Zhao Chang'an still has an exam tomorrow, so he will have a drink the first time we meet, and make a good start when we meet next time.

To Zhao Changan's surprise, Tao Jiao could actually drive, and got her driver's license in the second half of last year.

He drove Qi Peng to the Hilton Hotel not far from the barbecue stand. The two made an appointment for tomorrow morning and the meeting place. Zhao Changan and Qi Peng waved goodbye.
