They stayed on the boat for about three days before arriving at Yunjiupu, a Putou in Suzhou Prefecture on the canal.
Because Suzhou is closer than Hangzhou, it saves some travel time.
This Yunxi Pu seems to be more prosperous than Putou in Hangzhou.
The boat was still a few miles away when the bustling sounds were heard.
In addition to passenger and cargo ships, there are already many small business boats and sampans on the river.
The things for sale above are also all kinds of rare and exquisite, and the voices of those selling are all in the very beautiful Wu dialect.
Although many of the hawking songs are incomprehensible to pedestrians, they are still enjoyable.
"There are fewer people in the hall and the nights are longer.
The trees in the distance of Gusu city are green.
The rivers and lakes are ebbing and the tall buildings are different.
The rivers and Han Dynasties return to the broad hall in the cool.
The moon turns and the magpie shadows are moved, and the red grass on the low dew is wet with fluorescent light.
The poets in the literary garden should respond If you think too much, don’t drown yourself in the music and singing.”
Suzhou is known as the “land of water”, “the granary of the world” and “the land of plenty”.
Since the Song Dynasty, it has had the reputation of "Suhu is well-known and the world is rich".
Moreover, agriculture is extremely developed, with rice, wheat, rapeseed, cotton, sericulture, forest fruits, etc. being widely planted.
Special products include Biluochun tea, Yangtze saury, Taihu whitebait, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, etc.
Suzhou City in Suzhou Prefecture is even more famous.
A place of great reputation.
Moreover, Gusu City was listed as one of the five must-visit cities by the Ming dynasty gentry and celebrities during their study tours.
From the concubines and their families, to the wives and daughters of officials, to the common women and even the entertainers, they were even known for wearing Su-style clothes and teaching Su Bai was very proud of singing Wu songs.
Especially for all kinds of geisha, wearing Wu makeup, speaking in pure white, and being good at Wu songs have become essential skills.
Otherwise, they will not be able to raise their own status.
The place Chunyu and the others went to was a small town called Luoxia outside Gusu City.
It's not far from the famous Fengqiao Ancient Town, and it's not too far from Hanshan Temple, which is said to be "outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings at midnight to reach the passenger ship."
Hanshan Temple is located at Fengqiao outside Changmen in the west of Gusu City.
Walking through the stone road alleys of Fengqiao Ancient Town, or standing at the head of Fengqiao Bridge, you can see Hanshan Temple with green tiles and yellow walls nestled among green trees, with green pines and cypresses in the courtyard and winding paths.
Chunyu had seen Hanshan Temple when she was sitting on the bow of the boat, but she had no intention of going there for the time being.
They hadn't arrived at their destination yet, so they still had to prioritize things.
As for how she knew about Luoxia Town and decided to stay and settle there, it was all based on her first impression.
When the boat just approached Putou, the spring rain filtered through the lively crowds, and on the west bank, a pink-like sunset was faintly seen.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the sky was getting darker.
The crimson sunset reflected on the sky and the river, making everything cast a beautiful color and making people feel good.
Now that I saw that piece of pink, I thought it was magical, so I asked the boatman.
The boatman is from Suzhou Prefecture and understands this very well.
Then he told Chunyu that it turned out to be a small town called Luoxia outside Gusu City.
From the inside to the outside of the town, there is a kind of flower called Hanchun Sakura, which is more beautiful and fragrant than peach blossoms and crabapples.
Every spring in March, it blooms all over the town, making the town red and pink.
It's like the clouds are flying down here, so the name of Luoxia Town came into being.
Although Chunyu hadn't walked in to take a closer look, she was already fascinated by the sea of rays of flowers, and immediately said she wanted to go there.
So he paid the boatman the fare, took his two maids and luggage and got off the ship, hired a carriage and left Putou for Luoxia Town.
When I got there, I saw that there were indeed very beautiful cherry blossom-like trees, but the petals were larger and denser.
The colors were mostly pink and crimson, with a few trees being snow-white.
At a glance, the trees are full of trees, like clouds and clouds, and they are extremely beautiful.
Although Chunyu is not familiar with the word Han Chun Ying, I thought that it might be a type of cherry blossom.

In later generations, only Japanese cherry blossoms seem to be the most famous, but Japan, as the country of cherry blossoms, originally did not have cherry blossoms.
According to Japan’s authoritative cherry blossom monograph Sakura Dakan, cherry blossoms are native to China.
Japanese cherry blossoms first came from the Himalayas in China.
It is said that the time was during the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, cherry blossoms were cultivated in Chinese palace gardens more than 2,000 years ago during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
However, by the Tang Dynasty, cherry blossoms had become common in private courtyards.
There are many types, and maybe this Hanchun Sakura is one of them.
I just didn't expect to see such beautiful cherry blossoms here.
And this Luoxia town is located in this sea of flowers.
There are quaint houses with blue bricks, black tiles and white walls, bluestone paths, and a gray-brown crescent arch bridge.
Occasionally, a small boat passes by below, and the people above sing in Wu dialect, which is beautiful and dreamy.
At this time, a gust of wind passed by, and the falling cherry blossoms fell on the bluestone path, as if they were flying elves, passing through the hair of pedestrians and around the skirts and corners of pedestrians, fragrant the spring breeze and the clothes.
"Girl, this place is so beautiful.
I have never seen such a beautiful town."
Yunxi sighed after seeing this.
"Hehe, I haven't seen it either, and the wind here is fragrant, more fragrant than the best osmanthus cake I have ever eaten."
Yun Xiao also said with a nostalgic look on his face.
"It's beautiful," Chunyu said with a smile, then stretched out her hand outside the car window, and a cherry blossom petal fell on her hand, and there was a soft touch.
She took her hand back and sniffed the petals, which was a light fragrance.
It’s not as deep and delicate as the fragrance, maybe it’s more fragrant if you use more of it.
"Yunxi, tell the coachman and we'll get off in front."
Chunyu said to Yunxi.
"Ah, it doesn't look like there is an inn in front."
Yun Xi said strangely.
"We're not going to stay at the inn.
I see that it's not even the center of the town yet.
It's a simple residential area.
Let's go there to find a place to stay.
The cherry blossoms here are just right.
If we get to the town, there are no cherry blossoms."
Chunyu said.
"Yes."
Yun Xi thought it was true, so he opened the curtain and said to the driver outside: "Uncle, let's stop in front."
"Okay," the coachman replied, and then pulled the reins, making the horse slow down.
When they arrived at an arch bridge in front, the carriage stopped.
Chun Yu got out of the carriage with the help of Yun Xi and Yun Xiao.
After Yun Xi paid the driver, he drove the carriage back a long way.
"Let's go."
Chunyu said, walking onto the arch bridge first, followed closely by the two maids.
After passing the short arch bridge, there is a deep and long alley.
There are many falling cherry blossoms on the bluestone path, which is very beautiful.
The buildings on both sides of the alley are low-rise private houses.
They are not as tall as those in the north, but they have a sense of elegance unique to the south of the Yangtze River.
To be continued.
