People in the world say that Jiangnan is good, but where is the good? You don't see the small bridge flowing water Huanxi sand, Daiwa Feiyong swallow around the beam, the wind and lotus driving the boat and the fragrance, and the wine alley has a few songs of wine.

Jiang Ji and his wife got off the boat at the Huai'an wharf, and the little guy had already booked a few wings at the best Yuelai Inn in the city, and they went one day before the master, and the speed of these passenger ships was about the same, so they naturally arrived one day before the masters, and arranged the accommodation itinerary on the day they got off the ship, and came to the dock to pick up the next day.

Jing'er always thought that they were going to get off the boat in Jinling, yesterday Jiang Ji told her that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal does not pass through Jinling, their best itinerary is to get off the boat in Huai'an, and then take the Huaihe River into Jinling, of course, if Jing'er likes the customs of Huai'an, you can also play in Huai'an for two days.

Huai'an is the entrance to the south of the Yangtze River, there are many lakes and water in the territory, but Jing'er always feels that there is less taste, and the Jiangnan water town she saw in the book is different, so she doesn't want to stay longer, she enters the inn for one night, and tomorrow she will go to Jinling, and Jiang Ji took her to walk around the city at night, buying some gadgets to make her happy.

The next morning, the couple got on the boat to Jinling, Jiang Ji's two little servants were thoughtful, guessing that they would not stay in Huai'an for a long time, one got off the boat in Huai'an to arrange food and lodging, and the other rushed to Jinling non-stop, and set a small courtyard, he felt that the masters were going to stay in Jinling for a long time, and the guest house was only afraid of being uncomfortable, or a small courtyard with a single family was more satisfactory.

Jing'er found that her eyes brightened after getting off the boat, originally she sat on the boat for a few days, although she was not seasick, but also from the excitement when she first got on the boat to the current uninteresting, Jiang Ji said to take her to the residence to rest first, and then go out tomorrow, but as soon as she got off the boat, she saw a completely different Jiangnan style from Kyoto, so she was reborn, and she could go shopping immediately.

"Ten pearls! Is this its main store? Let's go in and have a look, I love their stuff! And what about Yunshang Pavilion, where is it? ”

Jiang Ji held down the restless little wife: "Let's put the things in the residence first, you are in the dust, wash and change your clothes when you get to the residence, take a nap for a while, and then I will take you out when it gets dark. ”

"Where is Ten Miles of Qin Huai?"

"Didn't you see it when you came? We passed by, where some flags were flying, and a few painting boats were parked, which was deserted during the day and lively at night. ”

Jing'er's tone was not good: "I've never been here, so naturally I don't know, I think you have been there a lot, so you know each other so well." ”

Jiang Ji hurriedly swore to the sky: "I'm just passing by, I've never been in, don't you know me?" The most honest people. ”

Jing'er smacked him: "I believe your nonsense! ”

The courtyard of the small house is located in a private house in Wuyi Lane, and it can not be completely called a private house, in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, flew into the ordinary people, and the mansion of Wang Xie in Wei was located in Wuyi Lane, after the change of dynasty, Wuyi Lane also changed from the former aristocratic mansion to a merchant mansion, only rich but not expensive.

These businessmen are looking for business opportunities, enclosing land and hoarding houses, and if they can't live in it, they have to keep it for sale, or rent it to foreign tourists, the small courtyard here is exquisitely repaired and tactful, and the detached family, whether it is bought or rented, the price is not cheap, and Jiang Ji They are the most expensive customers.

Jiang Ji and his wife rented this courtyard called Xiaoqutai, Jing'er asked why it was called this name, and the housekeeper in the house said: "In the past, there was a peerless beauty in Chen Palace, which was the concubine of King Chen, named Mrs. Yaotai, and King Chen built Qutai Palace for it, which was taken from the meaning of Jiuqu Yaotai, during which the pavilions and pavilions were murmuring and smoky and covered with light yarn, and the fairyland was no different. It definitely makes the trip to Jiangnan worthwhile. ”

Jing'er originally thought that this housekeeper was a porter, no matter how powerful it was, it was a steward, but when she heard him say this, she felt that this person had the smoothness of a businessman, and when she heard him introduce it, she had already yearned for it before she entered the door, and after she saw the scenery of this small courtyard, let alone live for a few days, she had the mind to buy it.

Seeing that the housekeeper saw that the hostess was intended, she worked harder to sell, Jiang Ji said that they were going to rest, let him go down first, and then the husband and wife talked behind closed doors.

"You head back to Jiangnan, just look at this courtyard and feel good, there are better outside, I feel that this courtyard is a little beautiful, not much lining you, Jinling is after all the ancient capital of several dynasties, prosperous and beautiful, but diluted the simplicity and tranquility of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, when we go to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou, find a gentle and quiet town, rain lane paper umbrella bluestone road, frog singing lotus plum wine, I am afraid that you are reluctant to go."

Jiang Ji depicted it well, Jing'er tilted her head and her eyes were clear, thinking about that scene, it was indeed excellent. Alas, she wanted to come to Jinling when she arrived in Huai'an, and she wanted to go to Gusu Lin'an when she just arrived in Jinling.

The couple took their bags and their subordinates to stay in this small courtyard, and they traveled all the way to Jinling to be able to rest at ease, but Jing'er was very energetic and didn't want to rest, so she washed and changed her clothes when she got to the accommodation, and pulled Jiang Ji out without eating dinner, and there were many delicious things in the night market outside.

Jiang Ji has been to Jinling many times, but he really doesn't have such a high popularity, so he can only sacrifice his life to accompany his wife, and first take Jing'er to the city's more characteristic restaurant Qingqianju for dinner, Jing'er asked him: "When I came, I saw a very magnificent restaurant, called Youfeng Laiyi, is it a restaurant?" It's quite lively, why don't we go there? ”

"That is the most prestigious restaurant in Jinling City, I have been to eat twice, I feel that the taste is not Erer, the money is all spent on selling fame and reputation, compared to our Tianxianglou Hongyunlou in Beijing I don't know how much worse, although this small shop is hidden in the downtown reputation is not obvious, but the store is Jiangnan specialties, the taste is light, it must be to your liking, the decoration in the store is also full of Jiangnan style, fresh and elegant, you look good?"

Jiang Ji said, Jing'er looked around, it was indeed a very simple and elegant private room, there was only a table and a small number of beds in the room, the window was a small diamond window pasted with beauty yarn, and a rockery bonsai was placed on the small table next to the window, there was flowing water gurgling down from the mountain stone, and at the bottom was a few small red and white fish coming and going, and the end was smart and interesting, Jing'er couldn't help but think of the fish tank that Li Yulin gave to the eldest princess, this is a little similar, it is just not as good as the one that has a lot in it.

The little two in this restaurant don't talk much, bring them up, give them tea melon seeds, say the guest officer slowly use it to go down, compared to other restaurants in the little two enthusiastic to see the guests as if they met their father, so that some restrained guests are at a loss, here the little two are colder but it seems that the whole restaurant is more elegant.

No one burns incense in the house, no one plays the piano and plays music, the slight sound of water flowing in the mountain stone bonsai adds a bit of seclusion, a bottle of blue and white porcelain is placed at the foot of the wall, there are a few rich bamboos in the bottle, the whole room is quiet and plain, and the name of this shallow residence is reversed.
