"My brother said that my sister is a fairy in the sky, and her poetry is rare in the world, and many men are not as talented as your sister!"

"Even my brother himself admits that if he writes poetry, he is far inferior to Sister Lin." Lu Zhiyu said with a smile.

"How can I be as good as my cousin said!"

Lin Daiyu's face was a little blushing, she didn't expect her cousin to have such a high opinion of her. Although she felt that she could not afford such praise, she was still happy in her heart.

Lu Zhiyu was a little embarrassed to see Daiyu, and asked with a smile: "Then sister, did you promise me?" ”

"Okay, but don't tell me to teach you, otherwise if my cousin knows, he won't know how he will laugh at me!"

"We're the same age, so let's study poetry and articles together!"

Lin Daiyu didn't hesitate, she agreed, she liked the feeling of being with Zhiyu's sister, which could make her forget all her troubles.

"How can it be, my brother has always asked me to learn more from my sister, and how can I laugh at my sister!"

Hearing Lin Daiyu's promise, Lu Zhiyu laughed happily, and then said: "Sister, when we get to Gusu, let's let my brother take us both to visit those places of interest in Gusu!" ”

"Play?" Lin Daiyu was a little puzzled, she grew up so big, she had never traveled, when she was in Yangzhou, her father was busy with official business, and her mother was not in good health, so she never took her out, and she never went out of the Guogong Mansion when she arrived in Jiafu.

"Yes, a few years ago, when my brother and I were in Gusu to guard my father's filial piety, my brother was afraid that I would get sick, so he would take me out for a walk every month, but unfortunately every time I went out, I came back in a hurry, and I didn't take a good look!" Lu Zhiyu said with some regret.

"But this time with my sister by my side, we must take a good look, and when the time comes, I will draw all those good mountains and rivers, and then ask my sister to write poems!"

"Didn't I spoil your painting with my inscription?" Lin Daiyu joked, but she was extremely envious of Zhiyu's sister, who had a caring brother who could take her out for a walk.

She also knew that Sister Zhiyu was afraid that she would be bored, so she proposed this matter, and she was very moved in her heart.

Lu Zhiyu saw that Daiyu agreed, so she said affectionately: "What's the matter, I'm still afraid of my paintings, and I don't deserve my sister's poems, my brother said Sister Lin, you are a female poet!" ”

"What kind of poet fairy, if you let others hear it, you don't know how to laugh at me!" Lin Daiyu said quite embarrassedly, feeling that Lu Jing's praise of her was too exaggerated, and at the same time she was secretly curious in her heart, she had never written a few poems since she was a child, why did her cousin make such an evaluation of her.

"What's that, if they are not convinced, they will come to Bibi, and when the time comes, my sister will show her hand casually, and she will be able to make them speechless!" Lu Zhiyu quipped quite arrogantly.

"You girl, you know how to make fun of me, I think it's better to leave you speechless first!" Lin Daiyu said that she took advantage of Lu Zhiyu's unpreparedness and scratched her waist.

Lu Zhiyu was most afraid of itching, and was scratched by Lin Daiyu and giggled, laughing so much that she trembled.

She hurriedly begged for mercy: "Good sister, my sister is wrong, you can spare me!" ”

"Hmph, do you dare to make fun of me?" Lin Daiyu asked with a small face.

"Don't dare, little sister won't dare anymore, whoever dares to make fun of my sister in the future, my sister will tickle her with my sister!" Lu Zhiyu said playfully.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and the movements in her hands also stopped, intending to let her go.

Lu Zhiyu took advantage of Lin Daiyu's stunned opportunity to get out of her clutches, and then went around behind Daiyu and scratched her waist.

The two little sisters immediately started fighting, but after a while of jokes, the two hugged each other and laughed.

Zijuan, An Lan and the others, who were guarding outside, listened to the laughter and laughter of Lin Daiyu and Lu Zhiyu's sisters, and also got together to chat happily.

"You girls are so amazing, since beating me and following the girl, I haven't seen the girl smile so happily!" Zijuan said to An Lan with some emotion, she has been following the girl for five or six years, and she has rarely heard the girl laugh so loudly.

An Lan smiled: "It's also our girl and Miss Lin who fell in love that made us have such a good time together!" ”

"Is Miss Lu so happy every day?" Zijuan asked, since she knew Lu Zhiyu, she had found that Miss Lu was happy every day, as if she had no troubles.

"Our girl was not very happy for a while, but our uncle teased the girl, and slowly the girl's mood was fine!" An Lan said, but in her heart she was envious of the uncle's love for the girl.

Zijuan heard An Lan mention Lu Jing, and hurriedly inquired: "I heard from the people in the house that Uncle Lu was the master of lifting people at the age of sixteen?" ”

Speaking of Lu Jing, An Lan also said proudly: "Yes, our lord was still the youngest master in Jiangnan Province at that time!" ”

"That's amazing!" Zijuan praised, thinking in his heart that if Baoyu could also take the imperial examination with his heart, I am afraid that he would be able to win the examination at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Then she chatted with An Lan about the Lu family and wanted to find out some news about the Lu Mansion.

Lu Jing was extremely strict with the news management of the Lu Mansion, strictly prohibiting the subordinates in the mansion from talking nonsense about the affairs of the mansion, especially prohibiting the disclosure of the situation in the mansion to outsiders.

Therefore, An Lan only picked out some unimportant things and said to Zijuan that she avoided all sensitive and important things.

Zijuan found that An Lan's mouth was extremely strict, so she no longer inquired about the Lu family, and the two only talked about their parents.

After two days of sailing, they arrived at the dock of Gusu City, and Lu Jing sent Lin Ruhai and his party back to the ancestral house of the Lin family, and then returned to the Lu family with his sister.

After Lu Zhiyu returned home, she begged Lu Jing to take her and Lin Daiyu to play together, and Lu Jing readily agreed.

He hasn't gone out with his sister much in the past few years, but when it comes to Lin Daiyu, he goes to Lin Ruhai to discuss.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment and agreed, but he told Lu Jing to take Lin Daiyu's reputation into account.

Since knowing that the Jia family had slandered Daiyu's reputation, Lin Ruhai paid more attention to Daiyu's reputation, and even overcorrected it.

Lu Jing naturally heard the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, in addition to asking him to protect Daiyu and not be seen by others, he also tactfully explained to him that he should keep a certain distance from Lin Daiyu.

Lu Jing sighed secretly in his heart, I am afraid that Lin Ruhai has not given up the idea of marrying Daiyu to the Jia family until now, but he didn't say anything before agreeing.

Although the two families are relatives, for Daiyu, he is a foreign man, so he naturally has to avoid suspicion. Although he doesn't care much about these rules, he also has to follow the local customs.

On June 25th, the wind and the sun are beautiful, it is advisable to travel, get married, avoid breaking ground, and make beams.

At the second moment of Chenzheng, after Lu Jing prepared the handcart and horses, he took his sister to the Lin Mansion, picked up Lin Daiyu and her entourage, and then a group of dozens of people went straight to Tiger Hill.

Lin Daiyu and Lu Zhiyu took a cuigai bead eight treasure car together, Yinglian, Qi Mama and Li Mama took a cuihu green car, and Zijuan, An Lan, Youxia and other dozen maids sat in the three green velvet bamboo curtain cars behind.

Behind the carriage and horses were more than a dozen family guards arranged by Lu Jing, and Lu Jing took Wu Ze, Chen Ji, Lu Lian and others to accompany him, riding horses to open the way in front.

To go to Tiger Hill, you have to pass through Shantang Street, Shantang Street is called the first street of Gusu, the street is full of goods, the clouds and rivers are flowing, the signboards are lined up, and the clouds are like brocade.

After arriving at Shantang Street, Lu Jing found a clean place, stopped the carriage and horses, and let Lu Zhiyu and Lin Daiyu watch the Baigong Embankment and Baigong Ancestral Hall.

Shantang Street was built in the Baoli period of the Tang Dynasty, and later Bai Juyi was ordered to come to Suzhou to serve as a assassin. Not long after Bai Juyi took office, he once took a sedan chair to Tiger Hill and saw that the nearby river was silted up and the waterway was impassable, and the trip was extremely difficult. Therefore, after he returned to Yamen, he asked the relevant officials to discuss the matter, and finally decided to build a road in Huqiu Mountain, around the mountain, and dug a Shantang River.

After the Shantang River was excavated, Bai Juyi built an embankment next to the river pond again, so there is Shantang Street, Shantang Street starts from the vicinity of the Changmen Monk Bridge in the east, and reaches the Tiger Hill Wangshan Bridge in the west, with a total length of about seven miles, so there is a saying that the mountain pond is seven miles to the Tiger Hill.

The excavation of the Shantang River and the construction of Shantang Street not only facilitated irrigation and transportation, but also made this area a lively and prosperous market.

The people of Suzhou are very grateful to Bai Juyi, and after he left office, he called Shantang Street Baigong Dike, and also built the Baigong Temple as a memorial.

Lu Zhiyu pulled Lin Daiyu's soft twing, and the two little sisters enjoyed themselves surrounded by a group of maids and women.

Lin Daiyu looked around, only to see the green water river, criss-crossed, the sun shining, sparkling, bright and dazzling bridges, making this place more and more amorous, my heart is very fond, I can't help but open my mouth to read: "Green waves east and west, north and south, red column 390 bridges." ”

Lu Zhiyu has been here several times, but every time she comes, she has a different feeling, and she deeply agrees with Daiyu's statement: "What my sister said is that I liked it when I first came, Qili Mountain Pond, splendid and long, flowing water lingering, water blue sky, small pavilion smoke and water can be painted, Ruan Qin is singing and dewy." ”

Lin Daiyu smiled when she heard this, although her ancestral home is Gusu, this is also the first time she has come out to play and see such a beautiful scenery.

"Sister Lin, let me tell you a secret, when I first came to Baigongdi, I made a joke." Lu Zhiyu saw that Daiyu was in a very good mood, so she shared her secret.

Lin Daiyu watched the boats loaded with jasmine, white orchids and other goods coming and going on the river, and the cruise boat painting boats passed by, and asked curiously: "What kind of joke did my sister make?" ”

"When my brother told me that this was Baigong Dike, I was still puzzled, isn't Baigong Dike in West Lake, why did I come to Gusu?"

"Later, my brother told me that the white causeway in West Lake is the white sand causeway, and this one in Gusu is the real Baigong causeway, although they are both called white causeways, but the two are different."

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled: "It can be seen that you usually don't study very hard, when Bai Lotian first arrived in Hangzhou, he wrote, 'My favorite lake is not enough to go east, and the white sand embankment in the shade of green poplars.'" It can be seen that the white sand embankment has long existed. ”

"Yes, my brother said the same, my brother said that Bai Lotian also built the white embankment in the West Lake, but now it has disappeared, only the repair here is still preserved." Lu Zhiyu said with some regret.

Lin Daiyu sighed: "That's a pity, I didn't have a chance to see it." ”

While the two were talking, Yinglian took the maid and carried two Jiangyun food boxes, and walked over.
