Chu Nan drove all the way steadily, but it attracted Qin Ya'er's dissatisfaction for a while, disgusted with Chu Nan's previous drag racing majesty, where did he go, and in the end, Hu Lan'er told Qin Ya'er to shut up quickly, what kind of car is racing on the street, is there too few tickets for disdain.

This Tongli town can be regarded as one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, founded in the Song Dynasty, has a history of more than 1,000 years, is a veritable Han water town cultural ancient town. In 1982, it became the first and only ancient town in Jiangsu Province to take the whole town as a cultural relics protection unit. In 1995, it was listed as the first batch of historical and cultural towns in Jiangsu Province. In 1998, the ancient water town and the retreat garden were included in the tentative list of world cultural heritage.

When she was about to arrive in Tongli Town, Qin Ya'er opened the car window, and Chu Nan could vaguely feel the smell of fragrance wafting in from the window.

Finally, the car finally drove into an ancient town, and outside the town, the car was stopped, and a staff member directed Chu Nan to drive into an underground parking lot next to it, and then Chu Nan and the four of them got out of the car and walked in together.

This Tongli town looks very quaint, the whole town is completely ancient kind of buildings, only when you see the tourists in modern clothes in the town, you know that you are not in the ancient world.

Hu Lan'er said: "I have been here before, it is a relatively primitive ancient town, in fact, it is very good, but you should also pay attention to it, there are some places here where the stealing of customers is also very powerful, although it is an ancient town, but to put it bluntly, it is still a tourist city, and it is mainly to make money." ”

Chu Nan nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, well, the air is quite fresh, I like this very much." ”

Chu Nan walked on the road, and even could see the faint green moss covered with stone steps under his feet, that feeling was really Taiyuan ecology, and it was impossible to experience it in a modern metropolis.

It's just that there are so many tourists here, and if you were alone on the whole old street, it would be very different and make you feel like you're there.

Li Meiting said: "Brother Chu, it's better to stay for one night, let's leave tomorrow, this town is not big, it is not small, I am afraid that one afternoon is not enough to go." ”

"Okay." Chu Nan agreed, and said with a smile, "The scenery of Jiangnan is indeed beautiful and moving, walking here, I feel as if my mood is completely relaxed." ”

"yes." Qin Ya'er said, "I can only feel a more relaxed feeling in one place than now, that is, on the prairie. ”

"That's true."

The four of them were talking and strolling around the town, and they saw the river in the town, the stone arch bridge over the river, and the scattered houses, all of which were stacked with layers of tiles like scales, and they also saw a house with a yard, outside the yard was a wooden gate, which was usually marked with numbers, in addition to the alleys with black holes and various buildings with an ancient style.

The four of them took a lot of photos here, and when they were tired, they also found a teahouse to sit down, and as soon as the four people sat down, the owner of the teahouse came over with a pot of tea, and he put the tea on the wooden table, and said with a smile: "A few guest officers must be tired, right?" This is the tea provided by our small shop, and a few people use it slowly. ”

The owner of the teahouse was about to leave with a smile on his face, Hu Lan'er suddenly stopped him, and then asked, "This tea is asking for money, right?" ”

The owner of the teahouse looked embarrassed, and he couldn't speak.

Hu Lan'er said with a stern face: "Even if we are really outsiders, you can't slaughter us like this, we want this pot of tea, but I hope that the next time you treat other guests, you can make it clearer first." ”

The boss also seemed to feel very embarrassed, and repeatedly agreed to go down.

Hu Lan'er sighed, looked at Chu Nan, and said helplessly: "Just like I said before, although this is an ancient city, and it is also very well preserved, but no matter how good the tourist attraction is, it is now full of commercial flavor, just like many shops here, changing tricks to make money, I used to drink tea once in another teahouse, the same, just came in and someone brought a pot of tea over, and did not say that it was for money, but just said that it was for the guests to quench their thirst, and when the guests were ready to leave, they began to ask for money." ”

Chu Nan frowned and said, "How can this be, this is detrimental to professional ethics." ”

"Alas!" Hu Lan'er sighed, "This is what the current society looks like, where is there any professional ethics!" ”

After Chu Nan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh very much, in modern society, the smell of business is too strong, and some businesses do everything to make some money.

"Of course, not all businesses are like this, in short, it's good to pay attention."

Chu Nan and the four of them chatted for a while, and after drinking the tea, the four of them rested for a while, and then left the teahouse and walked to a small river, Chu Nan spent money to rent a small boat, and the four of them sat in it together.

Li Meiting smiled and said, "Brother Chu, I'll help you rock the boat together." ”

"Forget it." Qin Ya'er snatched the oar in her hand and said, "You, a scholar, can also row?" Don't be kidding, Brother Chu, let's row together. ”

Li Meiting smiled bitterly, and did not fight with Qin Ya'er, allowing Chu Nan and Qin Ya'er to start rowing in the river with two oars.

Li Meiting and Hu Lan'er leaned side by side, Li Meiting gently stretched her hand into the lake and plucked it, looking at the clear lake, looking at Chu Nan's back, plus the heart for many days, and at this moment Chu Nan and herself seem to be close at hand, but for her, a reserved girl, it is like being far away in the world, Li Meiting has joy and sorrow in her heart, and suddenly sang softly: "The wind rises, blowing a pool of spring water." In the mandarin duck incense path, the red apricot stamen is handed. ”

"The fighting duck is leaning alone, and the jasper scratches his head and falls. All day long, I hope that the monarch will not come, and I will raise my head to smell the magpie. ”

Chu Nan glanced back at Li Meiting, Li Meiting gently leaned on the side of the boat, raised her eyes and looked out, one person, one pond and one boat, it turned out to be like a character in a painting, Chu Nan was a little stunned for a while.

Qin Ya'er didn't notice Chu Nan's strange appearance, she rowed the oars hard like a girl, and said loudly with a smile: "Brother Chu, see it, am I not wrong, our Tingting is a scholar and a talented girl!" ”

Seeing that no one answered her, Qin Ya'er turned her head to look, and happened to see Li Meiting quietly looking at the lake, while Chu Nan was staring blankly at Li Meiting's picture, Hu Lan'er glanced at Qin Ya'er beside her, and shook her head slightly.

At this time, Li Meiting finally withdrew her gaze, sat down again, turned her head and happened to meet Chu Nan's four eyes, as soon as her eyes first touched, the two of them seemed to be electrocuted, it was a kind of electric shock to the soul, the sound of the heart was fluttering, Chu Nan and Li Meiting's heart sound obviously overshadowed the other two people.

Chu Nan covered up and said casually: "Good poem is so beautiful, this poem is the first time I have heard it." ”

"This is Feng Yansi's words, he is not a particularly famous lyricist himself, but he has a great influence on the lyricists who began in the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Oh, what does that mean?"

Li Meiting said quietly: "The title of this poem is called "The Golden Gate, the Wind Rises", and the explanation in the poem is that the spring breeze is rising, blowing a pool of clear water. I had nothing to do, teasing the mandarin ducks in the pond in the path between the flowers, and casually broke off the apricot stamens and gently crushed them. Leaning alone on the railing by the pool to watch the fighting ducks, the jasper hairpin on their heads hanging down. I missed my sweetheart all day, but my sweetheart never came back, and when I was depressed, I suddenly heard the call of a magpie. ”

Li Meiting sighed: "The call of the magpie is actually just her imagination, and the meaning of the poem itself is a picture of a woman who can't get rid of her sorrow and hopes for her sweetheart to come." Graceful, mournful. ”

Chu Nan subconsciously asked, "Did you think of your sweetheart?" ”

Li Meiting's face was slightly red, her eyes dodged slightly, and she said in a weak voice: "No." ”

"Oh." Chu Nan is not an idiot, although he is not sure, but looking at Li Meiting's shyness, he still realized something for the first time, and hurriedly stopped asking this question.

Hu Lan'er looked at it from the side, and sighed in her heart, she was just joking or guessing before, but now she can be completely sure, I'm afraid Li Meiting really likes the man in front of her, although the meaning of the poem just now is indeed like what Li Meiting explained, but when it comes out of Li Meiting's mouth, I'm afraid it will be replaced by another taste, which can be explained that Li Meiting actually likes this man in her heart, but she doesn't know how to say it in her mouth.

The boat slowly rowed to the shore, and all four of them went ashore, and at the same time gave the boat rental money to the boatman.

"Let's go have some dinner first, and then let's go find an inn to stay in, right?"

"The inn?" Chu Nan said with some surprise.

"yes!" Hu Lan'er seems to know this place very well, and it seems that she has been here more than once before, "Most of the places remain untouched, but speaking of which, inns and inns actually mean the same thing, but it is a matter of name, and the entire inn also retains the appearance of an ancient inn." ”

Chu Nan approvingly: "I hope this place can continue to be kept as it is, and not be destroyed by this commercial society." ”

Hu Lan'er sighed: "Yes, let our descendants also take a look at some of the things of our ancestors." Let's go, if you want to eat something, I'm in for a treat. ”

Chu Nan smiled: "Lan'er, how can I let you have a treat, I will treat you today, I am a man." ”

Qin Ya'er smiled: "I didn't expect you to be very macho, but it's okay, our Tingting needs a big man to protect her well, and you can't bully Sister Tingting." ”

Chu Nan didn't know how to answer this sentence, normally he has nothing to do with Li Meiting now, but if he says it so bluntly, it is easy to hurt Li Meiting's self-esteem, when Qin Yaer mentioned Li Meiting, Chu Nan thought of the scene on the boat just now, Li Meiting turned her face to herself, quietly looking at the lake, one person and one lake looked picturesque.

Li Meiting's face was slightly red, and she glared at Qin Ya'er quietly, she was a little afraid of hearing Chu Nan say something in her heart, but when she saw Chu Nan was silent, although she didn't agree, it still made Li Meiting's heart like a deer colliding.

The four of them went to dinner together, and then found an inn next to it, the place to eat is called a restaurant, and the place to sleep is called an inn.

After entering the inn, the gentleman dressed in ancient costume smiled evilly: "Four guests, do I open two rooms, or one room?" ”

Chu Nan had a chill, this boss clearly wanted to say that he lived with one of the girls, or slept with all three girls, if it was really an ancient person, it was probably not so obscene......

Li Meiting asked, "How many people can sleep in the largest room?" ”

The boss smiled: "It's a little expensive, but the largest room can sleep the four of you." ”

Qin Ya'er glared at the boss fiercely.

"Oh." Li Meiting said, "Then let's open two rooms, we three girls have one room, and he lives in a small room by himself." ”

The boss didn't expect that he had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll pick two rooms for you, it must be the best room ......." ”

The boss said, took out two keys and handed them to Li Meiting, and said, "No. 203 is a small private room, and room No. 211 is a large private room." ”

Li Meiting handed over the key to the small private room in Chu Nan's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, let's go upstairs and rest." ”

"Okay." Chu Nan's footsteps paused, and he suddenly returned to the counter and asked, "Boss, do you have pen and ink and rice paper here?" ”

"Yes, yes." The boss obviously didn't expect Chu Nan to ask, and hurriedly said, "There are all of them in the room, and they can all be used, but it costs money, and there are very few people who usually use them anyway." ”

Chu Nan nodded and said, "I know, thank you." ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Nan ignored the puzzled expressions of Li Meiting and the others, smiled slightly, and walked upstairs first.
