Located at the beginning of the canal in the south and adjacent to Qiantang Haikou in the east, Hangzhou has been the most typical portrayal of the "Jiangnan water town" in the literati's mouth since ancient times. There are crisscrossing waterways inside and outside the city. These crisscrossing waterways not only bring beautiful scenery, but also
Later, the development of commerce was not necessarily inferior to that of Jiangning and Bianjing. However, at this time, Hangzhou's economy had not yet reached its most developed moment.
In the original history, before the Southern Song Dynasty moved the capital, Hangzhou was not really a commercial center that had reached its peak, although Hangzhou's commerce was already quite developed at this time. Its peak was still after the Southern Song Dynasty moved the capital and was changed to Lin'an.
, the commercial development here surged several times, supporting half of the prosperity of the entire Southern Song Dynasty.
It was the same at this time. Today, the most prosperous commercial district in Hangzhou is still from Guanxiangkou to Yangbatou. As for Taiping Alley where Ning Yi and Su Taner are now, although there are also prosperous markets, they are not the same as those over there.
It's still incomparable. The alley is suitable for living, and there are several camphor trees that are dense and towering.
There is a small Liu's Martial Arts School at the entrance of the alley. The business seems to be good. People are laughing and joking all day long. Occasionally, they are quite lively.
I came to Hangzhou for a few days. After all, the main thing was to drive around and drive around. Sometimes I got out of the car and walked. At this time, there was no detailed tourist map. Walking around from place to place was like treasure hunting in a secret place.
.Having been to the West Lake, Xizhao Mountain and Leifeng Pagoda cannot be missed. The children are most curious about whether there is really a White Lady under the tower. As for the ten sceneries of the West Lake in later generations, they have to look for them everywhere.
Casual sightseeing may sound romantic, but actually it is quite boring if you actually do it. People in later generations who are accustomed to the coldness of the city may be curious about some authentic ancestral halls, but in fact, the real ancient streets and alleys are far away.
It is not as romantic and pleasant as the tourist attractions of later generations. There are stone paved dirt roads everywhere, low-eaves and narrow alleys. On some roads, sewage flows freely, chickens crow and dogs bark, and children begging lie on the roadside. After looking at it for a long time, you will know that it is not a scenery.
, but life.
There is no layout, bluntness, and management of later generations of scenic spots. If you want to see the scenery, you rely more on your own sentiments and divergent thinking that can be extended at will. The big trees with canopy and pavilion in an alley may not really be very beautiful. If you
If you are in the mood, the thousands of golden lights shining through the gaps between the trees will become a pleasant scenery. But if you see the same scenery too much, it will become ordinary, so if you really want to find some excitement, it is
The bustling and tacky commercial streets are more satisfying. Therefore, the places where Ning Yi, Su Tan'er and others choose to visit after visiting some regular classics are mostly commercial districts such as Guanxiangkou and Yangbatou.
To be fair, even though she envied the literati's sentiments and loved poetry and songs, Su Tan'er was actually not a very sentimental person in nature. When she got tired from wandering around the markets with Ning Yi, she went to a teahouse to take a rest and listen to literary songs.
What's more on my mind is probably still thinking about where to locate the warehouse, where to locate the workshop, and how to open the store in the future.
Ning Yi is actually not very keen on wandering around and admiring things. For him, he has seen a lot of landscapes that have been modified in various ways in later generations. The original scenery of this era may be novel at first and feels
I'm used to Jingjing, but that's about it. Essentially, he's not a person who likes scenery. He appreciates the interaction between people, watching the bustling streets, people bargaining, chatting and laughing in teahouses, wives and maids.
He can always feel fun by pointing his fingers. Compared with the fun of mountains and rivers, he prefers this artificial kind.
After he settled on a place in Taiping Lane and visited the small martial arts studio several times, he came up with the idea of doing some exercise during this period of time.
Of course, Su Tan'er would never think that her husband-in-law should learn from such a small martial arts school. Chan'er Juan'er and others probably thought the same way. That night during dinner, they casually said that that night, the three
The maids had a look of resentment and hesitation. Their status made it impossible for them to have any say in the matters decided by their master. However, it was also because Ning Yi was always easy-going and everyone was as close as a family that they were worried about Ning Yi.
He really did such a "deviant" thing.
The gap between literati and military men was still too great at this time.
In a sense, Ning Yi has already gained quite a reputation in poetry and prose. Even though he usually doesn't care about it, when he decides to become an apprentice in a small martial arts school, it is very easy for others to do so.
You can feel the violation.
Even if he didn't care, how could Chan'er and the others bear the thought of their uncle coming to such a small martial arts studio and shouting at others. Although this might not be the case after spending money, even someone like Cheng, the leader of the Jiangning Hundred Swords Alliance,
When you meet your uncle at this time, even though he can be called an elder, you still have to treat him politely and politely. In short, you should not touch the small martial arts studios on the streets.
They were thinking like this. One night when they were carrying water and lighting candles, their eyes seemed to be talking, but it was hard to say a word. After hearing this, Su Tan'er did not express her position. She felt silent and gentle. At this time, the family
He had only lived in this courtyard for a few days, and many things were being purchased and decorated. When it was time to go to bed, Su Tan'er went to the next room to take a bath, and Chan'er brought a basin for washing feet and squatted beside the bed.
He took off Ning Yi's shoes and socks, reached out and dipped his feet into the warm water.
Ning Yi used to do this kind of thing by himself, taking off his shoes and socks without Xiaochan's help. We have been together for a long time, and we are basically used to it. But today Xiaochan seems to be doing it smoothly, Ning Yi said with a smile:, "
Okay, I'll do it myself." Bu Chan just raised his head to look at him, then lowered his head and said softly: "Chan'er has nothing else to do." She was petite and squatted there to concentrate on her work and stopped talking.
Yi looked like a little daughter-in-law after being bullied, she couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Ning Yi was only slightly interested in the matter of the martial arts school and said casually, no matter how small it was,
What are the views of Chan and others? Does he agree with it? In short, he likes it. Waiting for the little maid to speak to convince him, who knows that this girl is still crying like she did not long after they first met: "1 Although Bu Chan is a girl who doesn't do anything,
I understand, little maid, but I won’t talk about this kind of thing.”
My feeling was normal, I lowered my head and said nothing.
After a while, Su Tan'er also came back here. She wore a moon-white singlet after taking a bath. "Her hair was still a little wet, and it looked like black satin when it was spread out. She walked to the bed and changed the position of the lamp."
After a little brightening, she opened the window. 1 Bu Chan picked up the basin and got up, lowered her head and went out.
Ning Yi lay down on the bed in amusement. Duo Tan'er sat by the window and let the cool summer breeze help dry her hair. She seemed to have something on her mind. Occasionally she lowered her head and thought, but her eyes met Ning Yi's.
After a while, he was laughing quietly.
After a long time like this, she got up, closed the window, went to bed, took a cattail leaf fan to drive away the mosquitoes in the tent, and then turned off the lamp. The night began to become quieter, and when the knocking of the knocker on the street was heard, the room started to change again.
The lights were turned on, and someone got up to clean up some traces of exercise. When the lights went out, the two of them cuddled up on the bed, wrapped in thin sheets, already a little tired.
Su Tan'er put her forehead against the neck of the man next to her. She didn't want to speak or move too much. She had a few topics to talk about and a few moves to do because their bodies were close to each other at this time.
It had to be a little tight. She had no clothes on. The man hugging her could clearly feel her body. Her chest was pressed very tightly. She could clearly feel her chest skin. The man next to her should also be able to clearly feel it.
Feel the bulge on her chest...and other places, everywhere in front of her...
This is nothing new. The skin-to-skin contact between the two people is no longer a day or two. She thought, maybe this is nothing new for every couple who have been in the same room, but it was so quiet that night.
Sometimes, when she feels these things, she still has particularly strange emotions.
She thought in her heart that if her husband was also feeling this at this time, feeling that she was not wearing clothes, and feeling the private parts of her body, if he showed it, she would have to step away, because it might look very lewd.
He didn't say anything, she didn't say anything, they just leaned on each other.
She didn't know if her thoughts were strange. Compared with the things she had just done, this moment made her feel more curious and satisfied, feeling the other person's with her own body. This man named Ning Yi was
Hers, she also belongs to the person who has her husband's identity, but after all, they are not the same person. She doesn't know what will happen if she expresses these feelings. It seems that both of them may be shy, but maybe not, her husband has always been weird.
But even if he didn't know what to say, she couldn't say it either.
She didn't wear any clothes today because she couldn't find them. In the past, she would usually put on a bellyband or undergarments after those things, but just now, when he got up, he threw a messed up blanket out of the tent. She
Her bellyband and clothes were all wrapped in it. She stretched out her hands several times and couldn't touch it. Ning Yi had already turned on the lamp and went to bed. He hugged her with one hand as usual, and then wrapped the two of them with a blanket. After that, Ning Yi
Yi didn't show any unusual movements, he just hugged her as a matter of course, and she was left alone to think wildly.
She likes this feeling very much and doesn't want to move around. If Ning Yi suddenly feels strange and reaches out to touch her around, or asks: "Where are your clothes?" she will naturally reply: "You threw them away."
"Then she climbed out of bed to look for him or asked him to get out of bed to look for her. So she stayed quiet and didn't speak.
There were some other things I wanted to say, but at this time, my mood was just laziness and quiet. Things about the martial arts school were of course one of them. I should have talked about it in the evening, but I never opened my mouth. On the one hand, I felt that I should talk privately in bed.
Maybe it's better, on the other hand... At night, she kept thinking about taking a shower and going back to her room to turn off the lights. Of course, she would never tell anyone such emotions, and she never showed any emotion on the surface.
Come on Ding Dian.
She has watched many dramas and heard many stories. She doesn’t know if she is a shameless slut. It’s hard to ask, hard to say, and impossible to show off. But in the past six months, she really likes to go together at night.
The feeling of lying in bed, and at night, my mind is filled with anticipation.
Such emotions will not interfere with her doing other things. She handles things in the linen, chats with the maids, arranges the next day's itinerary, and talks with relatives at home, in a generous and orderly manner.
It was just as if there was a little devil outside her body who was counting the time all the time. Bang bang bang, bang bang bang, it’s almost time to go to bed. Then when it came, the little devil who looked the same as her was like
She breathed a long sigh of relief, and then she slowly went to wash her face, or take a bath, wash her hair, then slowly dry her hair, blow-dry it, etc.
Then when they cuddled together, she just felt full of satisfaction, but also felt that it was hard to talk about unhappy things. However, when Ning Yi's body suddenly moved, her heart suddenly tightened.
"Ah" was found to be too tight even without clothes on, quickly find a topic...
However, Ning Yi just put his other hand on her waist.
But the sentence still blurted out: "Are you bored, Mr. Xian..."
After she finished speaking, her face turned red in the dark. She was not noticed, but the hand stopped on the waist behind her back. Because of her words, his fingers seemed to touch her spine seductively a few times, which made her feel a little itchy.
.This place is really embarrassing.
But he didn't pay attention, it was obviously an unintentional move.
So she couldn't move...
"Are you bored, sir?"
"Um?"
"Martial arts matters."
There were soft whispers in the dark room, followed by a moment of silence.
"Let's talk about it on a whim"...
"but……"
"Chan'er and Xing'er both looked at me like that. Juan'er has a quiet temper and looked at me from behind. They looked at me like a lost boy who was about to embark on a road of no return. Who can bear it?"
, "My husband's recommendation is true..."
, "It's just a whim, I haven't decided yet. The martial arts gym is small, so I'll have to decide later."
The hand moved downward unintentionally and stopped on her tailbone. She felt a pockmark in her body... She couldn't go any lower...
, "Hmm." Only a single sound came out of his mouth.
, "Besides, I agreed, and I still have a lot of things to do with you in the past two months."
,"oh."
At the beginning of the trip, the two of them had made some plans. People who had been in the mall knew the purpose of coming to Hangzhou, so besides traveling, there were still many things that could not be avoided.
What Ning Yi needs to participate in is mainly to visit various unfamiliar merchants, such as local cloth merchants in Hangzhou,
Silk merchants, cotton merchants, dye merchants, etc. will all be a huge network of relationships.
In the past, when she was in Jiangning, Su Tan'er would occasionally visit mainly local merchants with whom she had many relationships in the past. With Su Boyong in charge, Su Tan'er also had enough foundation to visit in the name of her nephew, so she would not be bullied. However,
If various people visit before and after the New Year, it would be best for Ning Yi to accompany him after all. When they arrive in Hangzhou, they are all strangers, and it is even more like this. It is not only companionship and protection, but also a kind of trust.
"But those things" Of course, as a man, accompanying his wife to visit strange merchants as a son-in-law is not necessarily a very glorious thing in a sense. But Su Tan'er's thoughts may not be on this at this time.
Above, my body felt numb and numb, and as soon as my thoughts passed by, I forgot what I was going to say.
,"Um?"
, "But... but those things... are actually quite boring..."
, "Don't you want me to accompany you?"
, "No! No..."
Her body moved, and her lower body was reflexively pressed closer. As a result, she got rid of some awkward feelings. The hand lightly patted her buttocks, then returned to her waist, but it was still itchy...
...but still. She could hold it in.
, “Actually, I find it very interesting to walk around and meet all kinds of people.”
,"Um."
, "If someone bullies you, I don't have much to do anyway, so I can help you figure it out."
"OK."
After saying this, she felt that she was too excited, and she shrank her head between her husband's neck. She felt very happy knowing that her husband-in-law was very powerful and could be her backing, but on the other hand, she felt that it was not easy for her husband-in-law to get involved in the mall.
After all the intrigues, he should do bigger things. When thinking about bigger things, she remembered that Mr. Qin seemed to have approached her husband to become an official in Beijing, but he refused. She felt that part of her own reasons were involved, and she also felt that
Feeling a little guilty.
There is guilt and selfishness. She is just a businessman. She likes her husband and thinks he is good in everything. Sometimes she feels that her husband should not be the wife of a married woman. If she were a bystander, she might also feel that Su Tan'er is
How virtuous a woman is to let Ning Yi marry him. But she is not a bystander, and she is also confused, but she has to ignore it. It is best not to mention it to anyone. It is best if he can show his talents and what ideals and ambitions he has.
He can always be his bride-in-law in the Su family, and he can always be by his side, and he can also prevent him from feeling the identity of his adopted son-in-law, and we can be like an ordinary couple...
She also knew that it was impossible to have everything perfect. She had no choice but to think about it, so she could only shrink back in this regard and not think about it at all.
, "The store has actually been selected, and the location of the warehouse has also been selected. Just wait for the two days to finalize the contract, Mr. Chen and the others have also arranged things." Slowly, she sorted out the random thoughts in her mind.
, said softly, "Not the day after tomorrow, but starting from the day after tomorrow, let's go to each house to visit the people we want to visit..."
"Well, the day after tomorrow is fine." Ning Yi nodded, and then thought of something, "Then I will send a letter tomorrow."
, "Ah? Delivering a letter?"
"When I left Jiangning, Mr. Qin knew that I was coming to Hangzhou and asked me to visit a friend named Qian and send him a letter. When I arrived a few days ago, I asked casually and someone said that the old man
I went out to give lectures, so I didn't go to his house. I should be back in the next two days. I'll go see him tomorrow. Regardless of whether he's there or not, I'll give the letter to his family and leave." He thought about it and said, "As soon as I get here, I'll go there.
I think it's a good sign to find someone named Qian."
, "Is he another... very powerful scholar?"
, "Probably." Ning Yi smiled. "But I can't talk to all the old people. I just send a letter, nothing else. Then the next two months will be yours."
Su Tan'er was silent for a moment, then bumped her head against him: "I'm accompanying you."
"Oh." Ning Yi nodded and chuckled, "I'm accompanying you."
