第1章论洛谈州八大城

第1章论洛谈州八大城洛花城比夏杉出生的大宇城大了三倍，是南国的首城，因其育花草的特艺闻名洛州。

要说夏杉有这个胆子自己跑出来，还有些是自己的所谓“胸有成竹”的。她七岁就在父亲安排研读的书籍里初步了解了自己生活的这一方地域。

这块方形大陆分为东南西北四国，分别连着四座圆形岛屿。而四国四岛合起就叫做洛州大陆。洛州大陆有着著名的八大城，东国洛雨城，南国洛花城，西国洛日城，北国洛女城，红岛洛琴城，黑岛洛棋城，黄岛洛书城，绿岛洛画城。八大城因各种奇景或者特艺而闻名洛州大陆，也是人们茶余便饭之余的热门话题论点。

其中，北国的洛女城，因为“洛女城中无丑女“的说法，居然引得洛州其余三国四岛的女子趋之若鹜求问美颜之道，更不用说那些喜好观赏女子颜色的男子，更是络绎不绝。从而有了“北国洛女楚楚笑，四方来客留楚城”的盛景，更为北国带来着实不小的一项收入。更让人捧腹的是，北国治下的绿岛洛画城因仕女图的走俏，让洛画城也是被人们津津乐道。似乎有点取不走洛女城女子，退而求其次，带回一张洛画城仕女图也不错的玩味。

夏杉所入的洛花城，城里常年繁花似锦，奇花异草为洛州之最，花草繁盛，引人来往观赏，更有些人特地为学培育花草而远道直奔洛花城。

当然每逢几个月就来洛花城的夏杉这次来可不是为了看花看草，她是为着上次在异草阁中淘到的一本《神草怪谈》而来，她迫切想要问出此书的出处或者著书人。

当夏杉赶到异草阁，缠着当值的主管伙计问，《神草怪谈》这本书是哪里来的时候，伙计就像看怪物一样呆呆看着这个“少年”。伙计耐着性子说道“这位小公子，您不是说，上面写着《神草怪谈》-著者：黄某人吗，这不就是出处？您还想问什么呀？这书是哪里誊写的？这我哪能知道哟。我们异草阁是做买卖的，你能不能让一让？”

后来，夏杉厚着脸皮，软磨硬泡，一直围着这位周姓伙计，甚至帮忙他跟新来的几个客人介绍异草阁的种子、工具、培植书籍等，待这几个客人都多多少少买了好几样东西，周伙计实在过意不去了，就说“我喊掌柜的回您，这些我做伙计的哪能知道啊，你等着。”

大约过了一盏茶的时间，周伙计才出来，跟夏杉使了个眼色，说道：“小公子，你可真是好运，今天少爷居然来了，他说他也看过您问的这本书，他请您进我们小亭详谈呢。”

夏杉顿时喜笑颜开，对周伙计鞠了个手，说道“谢了，周大哥。”周伙计摸摸鼻子，咕噜了声“估计这小公子又是一个书痴，唉”。

走过几道婉转的绿廊，一片碧绿的湖水出现在眼前，一座小亭独建在水中央，亭子里隐约坐着一个穿着墨绿色服饰的少年，还有一个戴掌柜帽，穿墨色服装的老者站立着，他们正说着什么。看到夏杉的瞬间停了下来。

夏杉强压住自己的尴尬，不紧不慢走上汀步石。待走到亭中，拘礼到“有劳了”。说完再用眼角偷偷打量俩人，少年未戴冠，半束发，大约十七八左右；老者带着一顶标有异草阁字样的掌柜帽，眼中带着久混世俗的精明。
