Chapter 356 Cherry blossoms are like the sunset

They stayed on the boat for about three days before they arrived at a Putou Yunluopu in Suzhou Province on the canal. Because Suzhou is closer than Hangzhou, it saves some travel.

This Yunluopu seems to be more prosperous than Putou in Hangzhou, and the boat is still a few miles away, and the lively and prosperous sound is heard. In addition to passenger and cargo ships, there are already a lot of small boats and sampans doing small business on the river. The things on it are also all kinds of strange and exquisite, and those shouts are all very beautiful Wu language. Although many of the vocals are not well understood by passers-by, they are still appreciated.

"The hall is sparsely populated and the night is longer, and the trees in Gusu City are far away. The rivers and lakes ebb and flow, and the high-rise buildings are different, and the river Han returns to the Guangdian in autumn. The moon turns to the green and the magpie shadow, and the dew is low and the red grass is wet and fluorescent. The poets of Wenyuan should think more, and don't get drunk and sing to cover the Huatang. This Suzhou Mansion has its own "water town Zeguo", "the granary of the world", "the land of fish and rice" said. Since the Song Dynasty, it has had the reputation of "Suhu is ripe, and the world is full". Moreover, agriculture is extremely developed, widely planted rice, wheat, rape, cotton, sericulture, forest fruits, etc., and the special products are Biluochun tea, Yangtze River saury, Taihu whitebait, Yangcheng Lake hairy crab and so on...... This Gusu City of Suzhou Prefecture is a place with a good reputation.

Moreover, Gusu City is also listed by the Ming gentry and celebrities as one of the five metropolises that must be visited in the world, up to the concubines, the wives and daughters of the eunuchs, down to the folk women and even the artists of the rivers and lakes, but also to wear Soviet-style clothing, learn Su Bai, sing Wu songs, and be proud. Especially for all kinds of geisha, clothes must be Wu makeup, words must be Su Bai, good at Wu Ge, become a necessary skill, otherwise it is not enough to raise their own value.

And the place where Chunyu and the others went was a small town called Luoxia outside Gusu City. It is not far from the famous Fengqiao Ancient Town, and from the Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship. "The Hanshan Temple is not very far away. Hanshan Temple is located at Fengqiao outside the west gate of Gusu City. Passing through the stone roads and alleys of Fengqiao Ancient Town, or standing at the head of Fengqiao Bridge, you can see that the Hanshan Temple with blue tiles and yellow walls is located in the green trees, and the courtyard is green pines and cypresses, and the winding paths are quiet.

When Chunyu was sitting on the bow of the boat, she saw Hanshan Temple, but she didn't mean to see it for the time being. They hadn't gotten to where they had settled down yet, so they had to prioritize things. As for how she knew about Luoxia Town, she decided to stay and settle there, completely out of the feeling at first sight.

When the boat was just approaching Putou, Chunyu saw through the lively crowd and on the shore to the west, faintly seeing a pink scenery like a glow. At this time, it is already the beginning of sunset, the glow of the sky is thick, and the crimson sunset is reflected in the sky and the river, which makes every qiē covered with a layer of beautiful color, which makes people feel very good.

Now when I see that piece of pink, I feel that it is magical, so I ask about the boatman. The boat family is a person from Suzhou Mansion and knows this very well. It turned out to be a small town called Luoxia outside Gusu City. There from the inside of the town to the outside, there is a kind of flower called Hanchun cherry, which is more gorgeous and fragrant than peach blossoms and begonias, and it blooms all over the town in March every spring, which makes the town red and pink, as if the clouds fly down here, so there is the name of Luoxia Town.

Although Chunyu hadn't walked in to take a closer look, she was already fascinated by the sea of flowers, and immediately said that she was going there.

So he paid the boat fare, took the two maids, got off the boat with the luggage, hired a carriage and left Putou to go to Luoxia Town.

When you get there, you can see that it is a very beautiful cherry blossom-like flowering tree, but the petals are larger and denser, and the colors are mostly pink and crimson, and there are a few snow-white trees. At a glance, the trees are full of flowers, like clouds and clouds, and the beauty is abnormal.

Although the word spring cherry blossom is unfamiliar, it is thought of, and it may also be a type of cherry blossom. In later generations, it seems that only Japan's cherry blossoms are the most famous, but as a country of cherry blossoms, Japan originally did not have cherry blossoms, according to Japan's authoritative cherry blossom monograph "Sakura Daikan", cherry blossoms originated in China, and Japanese cherry blossoms were first transmitted from the Himalayas region of China, during the Tang Dynasty. In fact, more than 2,000 years ago, during the Qin and Han dynasties, cherry blossoms were cultivated in Chinese palaces. However, by the time of the Tang Dynasty, cherry blossoms had become common in private courtyards. There are many types, and maybe this Hanchun cherry blossom is one of them.

I just didn't expect to see such beautiful cherry blossoms here.

And this Luoxia town is located in this sea of flowers. The quaint houses with blue bricks and white walls, the bluestone paths, the gray-brown crescent arch bridges, and the occasional leaf boat passing by below, and the people on it are still singing in Wu language, which is beautiful and dreamy. At this time, there is a gust of wind passing here, and the falling cherry blossoms fall on the bluestone path, as if they are flying elves, crossing the tips of the passers' hair, bypassing the skirts and corners of the pedestrians, fragrant spring breeze, fragrant clothes.

"Girl, this place is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful town." Seeing this, Yun Xi sighed and said.

"Hehe, I haven't seen it either, and the wind here is fragrant, more fragrant than the best osmanthus cake I've ever tasted." Yun Xiao also said with a look of nostalgia.

"It's beautiful......," Chunyu said with a smile, and then stretched out his hand out of the car window, just as a cherry blossom petal fell on his hand, and suddenly there was a soft touch. She withdrew her hand and sniffed the petals gently, a faint fragrance. It's not as deep as the deep fragrance, maybe it's more fragrant.

"Yunxi, you tell the coachman, and we'll get off in front." Chunyu said to Yunxi.

"Huh? It doesn't look like there's an inn in front of you. Yun Xi said strangely.

"We don't go to the guest house, I don't think it's in the center of the town, it's a simple residential area, let's go there to find a place to stay. The cherry blossoms here are just right, but if you go to the town, there are no cherry blossoms. Chunyu said.

"Yes......" Yun Xi thought about it, so he lifted the curtain and said to the driver outside: "Uncle, let's stop in front." ”

"Well......" replied the coachman's uncle, and then pulled the reins, slowing the horse down.

When he arrived at an arched bridge in front of him, the carriage stopped, and Chunyu got out of the carriage with the support of Yunxi and Yunxiao, and after Yunxi paid the coachman's silver, he drove the carriage back all the way.

"Let's go." Chunyu said, and walked on the arch bridge first, followed by two maids.

After crossing the short arch bridge, there is a deep and long alley, and there are many falling cherry blossoms on the bluestone path, which is very beautiful. The buildings on both sides of the alley are low-rise houses, not as tall as those in the north, but they have an elegant feeling unique to the south of the Yangtze River. (To be continued.) )
