洛花城比夏杉出生的大宇城大了三倍，是南國(guó)的首城，因其育花草的特藝聞名洛州。

要說(shuō)夏杉有這個(gè)膽子自己跑出來(lái)，還有些是自己的所謂“胸有成竹”的。她七歲就在父親安排研讀的書(shū)籍里初步了解了自己生活的這一方地域。

這塊方形大陸分為東南西北四國(guó)，分別連著四座圓形島嶼。而四國(guó)四島合起就叫做洛州大陸。洛州大陸有著著名的八大城，東國(guó)洛雨城，南國(guó)洛花城，西國(guó)洛日城，北國(guó)洛女城，紅島洛琴城，黑島洛棋城，黃島洛書(shū)城，綠島洛畫(huà)城。八大城因各種奇景或者特藝而聞名洛州大陸，也是人們茶余便飯之余的熱門話題論點(diǎn)。

其中，北國(guó)的洛女城，因?yàn)椤奥迮侵袩o(wú)丑女“的說(shuō)法，居然引得洛州其余三國(guó)四島的女子趨之若鶩求問(wèn)美顏之道，更不用說(shuō)那些喜好觀賞女子顏色的男子，更是絡(luò)繹不絕。從而有了“北國(guó)洛女楚楚笑，四方來(lái)客留楚城”的盛景，更為北國(guó)帶來(lái)著實(shí)不小的一項(xiàng)收入。更讓人捧腹的是，北國(guó)治下的綠島洛畫(huà)城因仕女圖的走俏，讓洛畫(huà)城也是被人們津津樂(lè)道。似乎有點(diǎn)取不走洛女城女子，退而求其次，帶回一張洛畫(huà)城仕女圖也不錯(cuò)的玩味。

夏杉所入的洛花城，城里常年繁花似錦，奇花異草為洛州之最，花草繁盛，引人來(lái)往觀賞，更有些人特地為學(xué)培育花草而遠(yuǎn)道直奔洛花城。

當(dāng)然每逢幾個(gè)月就來(lái)洛花城的夏杉這次來(lái)可不是為了看花看草，她是為著上次在異草閣中淘到的一本《神草怪談》而來(lái)，她迫切想要問(wèn)出此書(shū)的出處或者著書(shū)人。

當(dāng)夏杉趕到異草閣，纏著當(dāng)值的主管伙計(jì)問(wèn)，《神草怪談》這本書(shū)是哪里來(lái)的時(shí)候，伙計(jì)就像看怪物一樣呆呆看著這個(gè)“少年”。伙計(jì)耐著性子說(shuō)道“這位小公子，您不是說(shuō)，上面寫(xiě)著《神草怪談》-著者：黃某人嗎，這不就是出處？您還想問(wèn)什么呀？這書(shū)是哪里謄寫(xiě)的？這我哪能知道喲。我們異草閣是做買賣的，你能不能讓一讓？”

后來(lái)，夏杉厚著臉皮，軟磨硬泡，一直圍著這位周姓伙計(jì)，甚至幫忙他跟新來(lái)的幾個(gè)客人介紹異草閣的種子、工具、培植書(shū)籍等，待這幾個(gè)客人都多多少少買了好幾樣?xùn)|西，周伙計(jì)實(shí)在過(guò)意不去了，就說(shuō)“我喊掌柜的回您，這些我做伙計(jì)的哪能知道啊，你等著。”

大約過(guò)了一盞茶的時(shí)間，周伙計(jì)才出來(lái)，跟夏杉使了個(gè)眼色，說(shuō)道：“小公子，你可真是好運(yùn)，今天少爺居然來(lái)了，他說(shuō)他也看過(guò)您問(wèn)的這本書(shū)，他請(qǐng)您進(jìn)我們小亭詳談呢。”

夏杉頓時(shí)喜笑顏開(kāi)，對(duì)周伙計(jì)鞠了個(gè)手，說(shuō)道“謝了，周大哥。”周伙計(jì)摸摸鼻子，咕嚕了聲“估計(jì)這小公子又是一個(gè)書(shū)癡，唉”。

走過(guò)幾道婉轉(zhuǎn)的綠廊，一片碧綠的湖水出現(xiàn)在眼前，一座小亭獨(dú)建在水中央，亭子里隱約坐著一個(gè)穿著墨綠色服飾的少年，還有一個(gè)戴掌柜帽，穿墨色服裝的老者站立著，他們正說(shuō)著什么。看到夏杉的瞬間停了下來(lái)。

夏杉強(qiáng)壓住自己的尷尬，不緊不慢走上汀步石。待走到亭中，拘禮到“有勞了”。說(shuō)完再用眼角偷偷打量倆人，少年未戴冠，半束發(fā)，大約十七八左右；老者帶著一頂標(biāo)有異草閣字樣的掌柜帽，眼中帶著久混世俗的精明。

Shine Sun went into Luohua City， the city always with perennial flowers， famous with exotic different plants and most prosperous flowers in the whole Luo state. People keep on coming here， attracted for flower show watching. And also some arrive straight for study specifically in the flower farming and planting planning.

About a cup of tea time， sales Zhou just came out with a wink， said:“l(fā)ittle man， you are really lucky ， our young master just came today， he said he also read the book you asked，he will tell you details please enter to our VIP space.”

Shine Sun suddenly smiled， thanked sales Zhou with a hands rite.

Sales Zhou touched his nose， grunted “It is estimated that this young man is a bookworm， alas.“

After a few mildly corridor passing， a green lake appeared in front with a kiosk standing in the water. In the kiosk sat a young man wearing a dark green dress， also a middle age man wearing manager hat and inked color clothing standing nearby.

When Shine Sun showed uo， they stopped what they were saying.
