In the next few days, the ship sailed smoothly, and early in the morning, Ma Bencai was very excited when he had breakfast, and said, "We can get to Yuhang Wharf at noon." ”

After eating, a few people stood at the bow of the boat, and Tian Zhiyu saw that the shore was already a plain, and the villages appeared in the field of vision one after another. When it was almost noon, Yuhang, that is, Hangzhou in later generations, finally revealed its full picture.

Now Yuhang, far from the later generations of high-rise buildings, brilliant lights, from a distance, it is also the same as Taiyuan, mainly bungalows, there are occasional high-rise buildings, but only four or five floors.

However, the scale of Yuhang seems to be much larger than Taiyuan, and it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the whole city is shrouded in a layer of water vapor, which looks like a fairyland on earth.

"The southeast shape is victorious, the three Wu capitals, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times," Tian Zhiyu couldn't help but admire.

"What, Zhiyu, there are good words again?" Luo Qi immediately asked with a smile when he saw him read these words.

Tian Zhiyu smiled embarrassedly, thinking that this one could be said to be the most famous poem in Hangzhou, but it was just his current identity, but if he came to Yuhang for the first time, if he wrote about the grand occasion of Yuhang at once, I was afraid that Luo Qi and others would not believe what they said.

"No, no, it's just that when I saw such a prosperous city at first glance, I felt emotional, and I said a few words casually," Tian Zhiyu explained.

Ma Bencai said: "As the old saying goes, there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Both cities have a long history, not only with many beautiful scenery, many beautiful women, but also many heroes. Not to mention, the founding emperor of Dongyang started from Yuhang and laid down the country step by step. It's a pity that in order to coordinate the overall situation, the capital was finally Luoyang, which cannot but be said to be Yuhang's regret. ”

"I can't say that," Luo Qi said: "Dongyang can stand for three hundred years, and it is definitely a great achievement to set Luoyang as the capital." You must know that the danger of Dongyang is mostly from the northwest, and if the capital is Yuhang, it will be comfortable and comfortable, but it will put a large area of land in the north under the nose of the enemy. Besides, not doing Chengdu City is not necessarily a bad thing for Yuhang, far away from the political center, making Yuhang a city of free development, which has created its unique beauty now. ”

Tian Zhiyu thought about the beauty of Hangzhou in his previous life, thought about the poems and songs about Hangzhou, and was full of expectations for the upcoming life in Jiangnan, but he was a little gloomy when he thought that the warm moon would leave in the near future.

He saw that Nuan Yue also had such a look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but want to hug her, but unfortunately in the end, there was still a thief who didn't have the courage to do it, so he could only give her a comforting look.

As Yuhang got closer and closer, the wharf got closer and closer, and finally the boat stopped steadily at the busy wharf, and several people had already packed their luggage, and when Ma Bencai explained what his subordinates should do, they took them ashore.

There were already several carriages waiting on the shore, and the five of them took three carriages and drove towards Ma Bencai's house in Yuhang.

Along the way, Tian Zhiyu lay by the window, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Because of the life experience in Taiyuan, he already roughly knows the living standards of people in this era, although whether it is terrain and architecture, or customs, Yuhang and Taiyuan are very different, but to specific individuals, the difference is not very big.

If there is a difference, it may be that Yuhang is more rich in mulberry hemp, so people are more gorgeous than Taiyuan. Fewer people here wear coarse cloth, and more people wear cotton and silk fabrics.

Tian Zhiyu saw that Wu Lihan, who was riding in a carriage with him, was also looking out of the window intently, and said, "Brother Wu Lihan, Jiangnan is really prosperous." ”

Wu Lihan nodded, and also sighed: "Originally, I thought that Taiyuan was already very prosperous, but I didn't expect that this place is far more prosperous than Taiyuan. Compared to here, the place where I grew up is a wild place. ”

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "Next, we will live here, but I don't know if I can find an opportunity to improve my kung fu." ”

Wu Lihan smiled and said: "These are not in a hurry, my master said that he has lived in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and that time is the time when his martial arts have improved the fastest. He also said that not all the time there is an opportunity to learn from others, and there is an opportunity to ask people for advice. He asked me not to rush it, but to slowly experience it bit by bit. In fact, to be honest, since I met you, I have had a great understanding. ”

Tian Zhiyu was a little embarrassed, and said: "I have benefited a lot, Brother Wulihan, you have helped me too much, but unfortunately my help to you is really limited." ”

"You can't say that, Zhiyu, I've learned enough from you," Wu Lihan said solemnly: "Don't you have a saying in the Central Plains, called 'Threesomes must have my teacher', for me, you are the best teacher." ”

Tian Zhiyu is no longer polite, anyway, in the future, the two of them will live together and cultivate together, and there will be many opportunities to learn together.

"Now that I think about it, there seems to be a lot of things to do in Yuhang," Tian Zhiyu said: "When I work out a way to increase grain production, Brother Wulihan, you can also bring it back when you return to China, and promote it in Dongyi." ”

Wu Lihan nodded and said: "That's great, our Dongyi is not the same as Beiyi, they rely entirely on grazing, and we also have a lot of farmland there, if we can really greatly increase food production, it will also be a blessing for our people." ”

The two of them chatted as they walked, until the carriage finally stopped, and they heard Ma Bencai say, "It's home, you can get off the carriage." ”

Tian Zhiyu and Wu Lihan got out of the car with their luggage on their backs, although Tian Zhiyu was mentally prepared, when he saw the house in front of him, he was still shocked.

Tian Zhiyu knew that Ma Bencai was rich and rich, and he had already seen his arrogance in spending a lot of money when he was in Taiyuan.

Especially when he lived in Taiyuan for less than a few months a year, he bought a big house and five servants.

So on the way to Yuhang, Tian Zhiyu kept thinking that for Yuhang, where Ma Bencai often came and went, his residence must be bigger than the house in Taiyuan.

But looking at the courtyard in front of him, which was several times larger than the mansion in Taiyuan, Tian Zhiyu was once again surprised by Ma Bencai's pride.

Walking in with Ma Bencai, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge pond.

There are patches of withered lotus leaves in the pond, still waiting for spring, and in the middle of the pond, there is a large pavilion. Along the pond are countless rockeries, pavilions, lifelike statues, and of course, potted plants.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang have loved gardens since ancient times, whether they are rich or retired officials, the choice of houses must pay attention to the perfect unity of nature and humanity.

Tian Zhiyu followed Ma Bencai inside, and what he saw along the way was the beauty that combined nature and humanity. Not to mention the arrangement just seen, the various carvings on the walls along the way alone are beautiful enough.

"Boss Ma, how long do you live in this house in a year?" Nuan Yue was obviously surprised by the grandeur of his house, and couldn't help but ask.

Ma Bencai smiled and said, "I come to Yuhang often, and I live here for about two or three months every year. At first, I just bought a vacant lot and thought about building it simply, but then I heard a suggestion to slowly decorate this place, and it became what it is now.

"It's not bad, it's almost like our palace," Nuan Yue exclaimed.

"Where, where, the magnificence of the palace, my house is far from catching up," Ma Bencai hurriedly said modestly: "But Jiangnan people love gardens, and I also follow the vassal elegance, find the best craftsmen, and build according to the most beautiful garden, although I don't live permanently, it is still very comfortable every time I come." ”

Tian Zhiyu and Wu Lihan also greatly complimented, and everyone walked inside for a long time before finally reaching the residential area.

Ma Bencai's housekeeper in Yuhang is called Qin Ming, Tian Zhiyu looked at him for the first time, and felt that he was a little similar to Ma Bencai's housekeeper Qin Lang in Taiyuan, and asked Ma Bencai about it, and these two people were really brothers.

In addition to Qin Ming, there were more than a dozen maids and seven or eight subordinates in this house, and Ma Bencai asked Qin Ming to call all the servants over to help settle a few.

After Tian Zhiyu arrived in the bedroom, he simply cleaned up and came to Nuan Yue's room.

Seeing him come in, Nuan Yue immediately said shyly: "Why are you like this, casually enter other people's girls' rooms." As he spoke, he was about to push him out.

Tian Zhiyu smiled and took her hand and said, "Before you can enter your real boudoir, let's take a look at the temporary room and see how Nuan Yue lives on weekdays." ”

Seeing that he didn't leave with a dead face, Nuan Yue didn't resist anymore, left him and continued to pack her things, because she only stayed for a few days, she didn't take all the luggage from the boat, only brought a few clothes and grooming things.

Tian Zhiyu saw her finish packing up her clothes and asked, "You really only brought men's clothes, not a single girl's clothes?"

Nuan Yue smiled: "Of course, I said that I went out this time, and I brought men's clothes, but you still don't believe it." ”

"Let's go find a tailor shop and make you a few clothes, I still want to see how the warm moon girl dresses up," Tian Zhiyu said with a smile.

"No, I don't like the cloth here," Warm Moon said.

"Could it be that only sparse clothes are comfortable to wear?" Tian Zhiyu asked.

Nuan Yue took off her hat, let her hair loosen, and said, "Not really, it's just that I'm in Shuguo, and I only go to one to make clothes, and I've never been to a second one, so I've developed a habit." Of course, Yuhang has good silk and high-quality cloth, but I just don't like it. ”

Seeing her say this, Tian Zhiyu no longer persuaded her, and when she took out a comb to comb her hair, she volunteered: "Nuan Yue, I'll help me comb my hair." ”

Nuan Yue wanted to refuse, but seeing his eager look, she said, "Will you?"

Tian Zhiyu said: "It shouldn't be too difficult, what do you want to thin?"

Nuan Yue thought for a while and said, "Whatever, anyway, you have to wear a hat when you go out for a while, and you have to tie it up." ”

Tian Zhiyu took the comb in her hand, stroked her hair with one hand, and gently combed it with the other.

"Nuan Yue, your hair is so soft and smells good, do you have to wash it every day?"

Nuan Yue looked in the mirror, Tian Zhiyu moved gently, and said softly: "No, it takes a long time to wash and dry once, and it's too troublesome, so I usually wash it once every two or three days." ”

"I'll wash you later, I can also help you with your thrush, help you apply blush, I can learn these things," Tian Zhiyu remembered Zhang Chang's words 'The joy of the boudoir is more than that of a thrush', and he couldn't help but have a trace of a beautiful yearning for his future life.

Nuan Yue nodded and said, "Okay, it's just that I don't know how long I have to wait for this day." ”

After Tian Zhiyu helped her comb her hair smoothly, he began to help her braid her hair, and seeing that she was not in a high mood, he said: "Silly girl, I will work hard, work hard in all aspects." After meeting your father's requirements, I will go to your house to propose marriage and marry you as soon as possible. ”

Nuan Yue was a little shy and said: "Fool, I teased you with those words, in fact, my father said that he would not interfere too much in my life's affairs, as long as I like it, and the man is also excellent, he will agree." ”

Tian Zhiyu was happy and said, "Then am I good now?"

Nuan Yue gave him a smug look from the mirror, and said softly: "It's okay, it's barely worthy." ”

"Then if I come to the door now, your father will agree?" Tian Zhiyu hurriedly asked.

"Yes, yes," Nuan Yue said hesitantly, her face became even more shy, and after calming down a little, she asked, "Then do you want to go with me to Shuguo?"

Tian Zhiyu carefully arranged her hair and said softly: "Silly girl, even if your father will agree, I am embarrassed to propose, I don't have anything now, and I can't even prepare a decent dowry." Or wait for me to achieve something, and then I can come to the door with my head held high, don't you say?"

Nuan Yue didn't care if he had money or not, but she also knew that Tian Zhiyu was a proud person, so let him come to the door, he would definitely have an inferiority complex, and she also hoped that Tian Zhiyu would be able to make a move, whether in the rivers and lakes or in the literary world, when he gained a firm foothold, he would accompany him to face everything.
