The merchant ship sailed on the Fuchun River for two days before abandoning the ship and landing.

Everyone rode in several carriages, and it took them two hours to finally see the walls of White Jade City.

Li Ye looked out through the side window of the carriage and saw a white city wall vaguely visible.

The gentleman pointed to the white city wall and said: "The reason why White Jade City is famous is because when the city lord rebuilt the city wall five hundred years ago, he bulldozed a mine near Baiyu City and mined countless white granite to build the city wall.

The courtyard walls are also made of this mineral."

The city wall of White Jade City is three feet high, and it is the second-largest building in the Central Region after Vientiane City. It only takes half a day's journey by horse-drawn carriage from White Jade City to Vientiane City.

Therefore, many merchants are willing to open their shops in Baiyu City, and even practitioners are willing to live in Baiyu City.

One is because of the convenient transportation, and the other is because it is close to the Imperial City in the Central Region and is not subject to many rules of the Imperial City. Therefore, some people call this place the "White Jade City in the Sky".

"White Jade City in the Sky?" Li Ye murmured.

As the carriage drove towards the gate of Xiongcheng, he thought to himself that it was really not simple here, no wonder Nalan Yu wanted to stay here.

Everyone walked to the central square in the city. Boss Xie came down to greet his husband and Li Ye, agreed on a time to meet again, and then led his motorcade away.

Tang Qiuyu opened the car window, looked at her husband and said, "I wonder if Mr. Mo has arranged a place to go? If not, how about coming with us?"

The gentleman turned his head and glanced at Li Ye. Li Ye opened the car curtain, looked at Tang Qiuyu and said, "Mr. Tang, I want to go to Huamanlou in the city first to find a friend."

Tang Qiuyu turned to look at Xia Wutong sitting in the car, then looked at Li Ye, and chuckled.

"Just in time, I'm going somewhere, let's come together." After saying that, he told the driver to set off.

Li Ye raised his head and glanced at his husband, touched his head and said with a smile: "The weirdo my disciple met on the road, I made an appointment to meet him at Huamanlou. The last time we met was in a hurry, this time I want to have a good chat with him."

The gentleman smiled lightly and said, "It's okay. I happen to be with Mr. Tang, and she will lead the way."

Li Hongxiu laughed so hard that the flowers trembled, and said: "Little guy, you are not attracted to that little girl Xia Wutong, are you? I can tell you, she is a flower with a thorn on it, and she is not easy to mess with."

Li Ye rolled his eyes at her and said, "How is that possible? The master's wife is always telling jokes."

Li Hongxiu imitated Mu Mu's voice and said, "Brother belongs to Mu Mu alone. No one else is allowed to take it away."

He smiled and said, "Don't forget that you also have a little money lover."

...

Two carriages stopped in front of Huamanlou. Li Ye jumped out of the car, looked up, and said with a smile: "Master, this place is more elegant than our Hongxiulou."

Mu Mu followed Xiao Ju and jumped out of the carriage in front. She ran over and took Li Ye's hand and said, "Brother, can I go play with Xiao Ju for a while?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "You go and play first, I will find you later."

The gentleman stood on the side of the road, looking across from Huamanlou. He looked at Tang Qiuyu who was approaching and said, "Mr. Tang, Hongxiu and I will go to the inn opposite to rest first. We will come to Huamanlou to see you later."

Li Ye followed his husband's gaze and saw an inn across the road from Huamanlou. On the door marquee was written: "There is a room."

"Do you have an inn?" Li Ye looked at his husband, why did he come up with such a weird name?

The husband smiled and said, "We will live here. Your wife and I will go there first. You can find someone by yourself and come to us later."

Tang Qiuyu felt a little weird when she heard her husband's words. She also couldn't understand why her husband chose to stay in this inn opposite Huamanlou.

However, considering that Huamanlou did not entertain outsiders, he smiled lightly and said, "In this case, Mr. Mo, you go and have a rest first. I will treat a few of you to dinner tonight."

Li Hongxiu waved to Tang Qiuyu and pulled her husband towards the passenger plane across the road.

Li Ye followed Xia Wutong and walked towards Huamanlou.

When Li Ye jumped off the carriage, the young man who had closed his eyes to meditate by the window on the second floor of the flower-filled building opened his eyes and smiled knowingly.

"I never thought you would come to Huamanlou to look for someone. Do you need my help?" Xia Wutong looked at Li Ye and said softly.

Li Ye looked a little shy and didn't know how to say no to a girl who wanted to get close to him along the way.

After thinking for a while, he cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to trouble the girl. I'm just asking about a person. If he's not here, I will leave."

Just when the two of them didn't know how to communicate, a woman in a white dress walked out of the flower-filled building. She gave Xia Wutong a blessing, then Li Yefu, and said with a smile: "Sir, there are guests upstairs to invite you."

Li Ye returned the gift to the woman in the white dress and asked, "Please me? Are you sure it's correct?"

The woman in the white dress smiled lightly and said: "Of course there is nothing wrong."

After saying that, he greeted Xia Wutong again and wanted to lead Li Ye in.

Xia Wutong looked at her, Li Ye, and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that someone is really waiting for you. I want to meet you too? You go first. I will come with the master to find you later."

Li Ye nodded and followed the woman in the white dress inside.

There is a flowing water in front of the flower-filled building, and an exquisite small bridge made of white marble is built on it.

Li Ye followed the woman in the white dress and chanted softly: "There are people living on small bridges and flowing water, but people with broken hearts are at the end of the world."

The woman in the white dress turned back to look at Li Ye, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this young gentleman can also recite poetry, but this artistic conception is too bitter, isn't it?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment and said: "I just said it casually, I have no other meaning."

"Our landlord knows that your husband can recite poetry, so he will definitely come to see you." The woman in the white dress smiled lightly.

Li Ye was stunned and blurted out: "I'm just here to meet people, not to recite poems for others. Please don't get me wrong."

When the woman in white heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

...

The woman in the white dress led Li Ye up to the second floor and chose a large table by the window to sit on. The table was made of the unique nanmu from Qingcheng Mountain.

Li Ye leaned to the side and touched the tabletop with his hands, sighing softly: "This is indeed a rare golden nanmu. When you touch it, it is as delicate as silk."

The woman in the white dress reached out to pick up a small silver pot to boil water, then picked up four teacups and placed them on the tea table.

"As expected of my brother Nalan Yu, he even knows the benefits of this broken table."

A voice sounded from behind Li Ye, and Li turned his head, but it was Nalan Yu who was wearing a white robe, but today he was spotless, not as dusty as he was in the inn that day.

Li Ye stood up, clasped his hands and said, "I didn't expect to see Brother Nalan just after arriving at Baiyu City."

Nalanyu walked up and patted Li Ye on the shoulder and said, "I told you, when you get to White Jade City, you can find me as long as you come to Huamanlou."

Sitting next to the window, Nalanyu pointed at the woman in the white dress and said: "Brother, please introduce the line. This is the master of Huamanlou, the beauty of Hualuoyu. Even if I get ruthless, I may not be able to beat her."

.”

Li Ye bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, girl."

Hua Luoyu looked at Li Ye, thought for a while, then closed her mouth, just picked up the silver pot to warm the pot, washed the tea and cups.

Nalan Yu looked at Li Ye and said with a smile: "Brother, have you found a place to live? What are your plans for coming to White Jade City?"

Li Ye looked at "Youjian" across the street and said with a smile: "My master and his wife have already passed by, and they should be staying."

Nalan Yu followed Li Ye's gaze and smiled strangely when he saw the sign on the inn.

"Why don't you come to Huamanlou to see me first and let me arrange a place for you?" Nalanyu asked.

Li Ye shook his head and said: "Master said a long time ago that you should not cause trouble to your friends when you go out. If you can solve it yourself, solve it yourself."

When Nalanyu heard this, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "You don't have to bother others. We are brothers. There is no need to bother this one!"

Li Ye stood up and clasped his fists with him and said, "It's all the same. Let me know what I mean."

Hua Luoyu in the white dress glanced at Li Ye and wondered what the origin of this boy wearing linen monk robes and a light-skinned face was, so that Nalan Yu paid so much attention to him, and even Xia Wutong was related to him.

Looking at Li Ye, she chuckled and said, "Sir, you can't underestimate Brother Nalan. He is the second in charge of the inn opposite."

Li Ye was startled, looked at Nalan Yu, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "No wonder you said that day that I could find you as long as I came to Huamanlou. I thought you were from Huamanlou."

Nalanyu turned his head and said with a smile: "I really want to be a person with a lot of flowers, but they don't accept me."

"How is that possible? Brother Nalan has a high level of cultivation and is a cool person. Do you owe Huamanlou a lot of money?" Li Ye asked in confusion.

Hua Luoyu in the white skirt looked at Nalan Yu, smiled with her lips pursed, poured tea for the two of them, and gave a cup to Li Ye.

Nalanyu picked up a cup of tea from the tea table, looked at the tea falling into the rain and said, "I don't seem to owe you any money recently. Why is my attitude towards people worse than my brother?"

Hua Luoyu put it in the teapot, picked up the teacup in front of her, blew gently, and took a shallow sip.

He smiled and said: "You haven't owed money recently, but you are a rough man. This young gentleman can recite poetry. If you let the sisters in the world know, she will be like me."

The second floor of Huamanlou is very quiet. At this moment, there are only guests at Li Ye's table.

Hua Luoyu was making tea, Nalan Yu opened her mouth not knowing how to reply to her words, and Li Ye lowered his head and enjoyed the rare tea in front of him.

For a moment, only the faint fragrance of tea spread around.

After a long while, Nalan Yu closed his mouth and patted Li Ye hard.

Said: "I was rushing by in the inn that day, but I didn't know that brother, in addition to chanting sutras, you can also recite poems. You are indeed my brother of Tianshan Nalanyu! Let's have a good drink at night, and we won't go home until we are drunk!"

Hua Luoyu pursed her lips and continued to smile, then glanced at Li Ye.

He said to Nalan Yu: "It seems that it's not your turn to invite someone to dinner tonight. I just heard downstairs that Wutong's master wanted to invite this young gentleman and his master to dinner."

Hua Luoyu took out a box of peach cakes from the cabinet behind her, opened it, and put it on the plate on the table.

Looking at Li Ye, he smiled and said, "Just because the little gentleman has the poem he recited at the door, I'll treat you to some peach cakes." After saying that, he chanted thoughtfully:
