Chapter 477 Spring is not too late
Wuzhen is located at the junction of the two provinces and is located in the alluvial plains of the lake basin. It has a flat terrain and many lake and swamp water systems.
People also dug many canals, and the Grand Canal, which is the north and south major arteries, flows through the west side of Wuzhen.
As a thousand-year-old town, wealthy town residents usually have water-to-water houses.
Most of the houses are on one or two floors, which are exquisite and pleasant.
Either the green tiles are the roof and the wooden boards are the walls; or the pink walls are the black tiles are simple and elegant.
In order to increase the utilization space, Wuzhen people would also set up part of the house on the river and use round wooden piles or stone pillars to penetrate the riverbed below, which is known as "Shui Pavilion".
The water pavilion faces water three sides, and some can also be parked underneath. At first glance, the water pavilion on the river in Qinglian is arranged in an orderly manner.
What a real picture of "People's sleeping on the river".
The ancient streets follow the water and pass by the bridge when they encounter water. At most, there are as many as 120 bridges in the town, which can be said to be a bridge of one hundred steps.
These small bridges have different styles, including single-hole arch bridges, three-hole arch bridges, folding bridges, flat bridges, etc.
The most eye-catching thing is that the two identical stone bridges with a corridor covered with a roof are called "Two Bridges for the Future", which means that they are good at everything.
The boats are rowing and the waves are chasing through the bridge and the sound of water is endless.
The water streets are connected by bridges and houses, every family faces the water, and every household sleeps on the river.
The three elements of the small bridge, flowing water, and others combine each other, making a beautiful scene of poetry and painting with long scrolls of ink and wash, which fully demonstrates the temperament of the Jiangnan water town.
Lu Ze and Lin Youyou spent ten yuan to board a small boat and swam slowly along the river.
Looking at the winding road surface on the shore, the wooden pavement and brick walls on both sides appear alternately, and the space scale of the streets and alleys is suitable.
A row of drainage pavilions and pillows are living in water. The old doors and windows are painted with tung oil according to the ancient method, full of traces left by time.
It is early spring, and the caring corridor is full of sunshine.
The horse head wall is dotted with green trees and flowers in the middle, as if it is confirming the poem:
Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, but tourists are only as old as Jiangnan.
"It's so beautiful here. If you get old, you will definitely be very good to live in such a place." Lin Youyou suddenly sighed.
Because she just saw a pair of old people from the ancient town walking hand in hand by the river.
The old couple support each other, and the ordinary and warm picture will always touch the softest part of people's hearts.
Lin Youyou fantasized that he and Lu Ze would have such a day.
Just like the song "The Most Romantic Things", we slowly grow old together, holding photos of laughter recording every bit, sitting on the rocking chair and slowly reminiscing and chatting.
Unfortunately, Lu Ze had no intention of getting it at all, and replied in a disgrace: "It's better not to be a good idea. After a few years of commercial development, it will be crowded and will not be at peace for a moment."
Lin Youyou didn't care, as if immersed in his own world, and turned his head to look at the more distant peace.
After taking the boat, the two of them walked back along the river and felt the atmosphere of Wuzhen up close.
They were like residents of small towns, neither rushing nor rushing. After walking for a while, they found something fun and interesting, and stopped to take a look.
Lin Youyou took a Leica camera and took a lot of materials and had a few photos, which could be used as pictures in the novel.
While Lu Ze was not paying attention, he secretly took a few pictures of him.
I felt a little happy. When I went back to wash out the photos, I put some on the desk and some on the head of the bed.
When I was thinking too hard, I took a few glances to relieve the pain of longing for love, and I would never get sick because of this cruel guy.
"Can you take a photo for me?" Just as I walked to a small arch bridge, the spring light scattered on the river, reflecting the ancient water pavilion on both sides of the river. Such a beautiful scenery, Lin Youyou couldn't help but want to keep a souvenir.
Lu Ze responded: "Okay..."
He took the Leica camera, adjusted the focal length of the lens, and looked at Lin Youyou's figure.
The lens can enlarge everything about people, and the shortcomings and advantages will be clearly visible in the lens.
But Lin Youyou in the sun is like an angel who has just come down to the mortal world, so perfect and so beautiful.
That cold temperament, combined with her perfect appearance, made Lu Ze feel lost for a moment.
Lin Youyou saw Lu Ze holding the camera in a daze, and was confused, so she said: "Have you taken it?"
She asked with a puzzled look on her face, not knowing that Lu Ze was trapped in her own beauty, otherwise she would have to be happy.
"It's almost done, smile!" Lu Ze pretended to remind.
Lin Youyou is not good at laughing, and it can even be said that she is not good at laughing.
She has been cold since she was a child, and it is very embarrassing to laugh deliberately, especially under the camera, she can't laugh.
She frowned and showed a very embarrassed expression on her face. She seemed to be smiling and turned into a very twisted way, making Lu Ze feel embarrassed and cancer almost happened.
He could only be tempted by earnestly and kindly: "Youyou!"
"Hmm?" Lin Youyou replied in confusion.
Lu Ze smiled and said, "You are so beautiful!"
I laughed, and when I heard the praise, I finally laughed out naturally.
The smile of the Queen of Frost is like the cold winter passing by and spring returns to the earth, warming the world in an instant, making people feel very healing at first glance.
Unfortunately, this smile is not something that ordinary people can see.
Lu Ze hurriedly pressed the shutter and let this extremely beautiful moment freeze into eternity.
After that, the two of them took photos while walking, and changed the film several times, and took many beautiful moments for Lin Youyou.
From the morning to the morning, I walked around until noon, and the lunch time was almost over.
Lu Ze took Lin Youyou and found a small restaurant, which only had six or seven seats, and ordered a few home-cooked dishes at will.
With the current commercial development level in Wuzhen, it would be nice to have such a small restaurant.
However, the restaurant is small, but the taste is pretty good. The two of them, who were already hungry, had a good time eating.
After dinner, I continued walking and stopping, patting around, and walked to the bottom, and reached the other side of the canal.
Although the canal is not wide, it was the Chinese people who started from the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period and were dug and dredged in all dynasties. It was the sixth year of Emperor Yang of Sui that the ancient canal road south of the Yangtze River was re-drawn and broadened, forming the current Jiangnan canal.
Standing by the Jiangnan Canal and looking at the cargo ships passing by, you can instantly feel the greatness of the Chinese nation.
A small canal has connected the country and witnessed the change of dynasties for thousands of years. It can be said to be one of the portrayals of Chinese civilization.
If there weren't any cruise ships on the canal at this time, Lu Ze would have wanted to take Lin Youyou to visit the canal and experience the mood of merchants who came and went north in ancient times when they passed by the canal.
Before, they walked along one side to the bottom and came to the canal, so the two of them returned from the canal and walked back along the other side of the ancient town river.
Walking all the way to the beginning of the lights, the entire ancient town was bathed in the afterglow, and Wuzhen became another scenery.
I also found a good restaurant and had a good dinner.
Although I had been shopping all day long and accompanied by Lu Ze, Lin Youyou didn't feel tired at all. She was so hungry that she had always had a small stomach that she ate two small bowls of rice in a row.
After dinner, the lights lit up in Wuzhen.
During the day, the Xizha of Wuzhen is surrounded by water, and is decorated with lights from thousands of homes at night.
Compared to the daytime, Wuzhen at night has a more quiet beauty, as beautiful as a dream!
If you can find a stone bridge to enjoy the night view on the river, it will make you intoxicated and not know where to go.
Especially the White Lotus Temple Pagoda in the ancient town is more like a painting under the lights. It seems to break through the shackles of time, allowing people to instantly travel to Jiangnan, which was so mature that Suhu and the world are all the best in the era.
Lu Ze and Lin Youyou also climbed a stone bridge and sat on the railings casually, looking at the calm lake, the lights and the towers in the distance, making them feel particularly calm.
"Do you know what day it is?" Lin Youyou suddenly asked softly.
Lu Ze was stunned for a moment and replied: "I know."
Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and it is also February 14th, Valentine's Day. How could he not know about such a special day?
If it weren't for this day, he wouldn't have agreed to Lin Youyou yesterday and came out with her.
Maybe it was the New Year greeting text message on the night of 30 that softened him. Maybe it was because he didn't want to make her sad and disappointed on a special day again.
Anyway, he will not regret it when he comes.
When Lin Youyou heard Lu Ze's answer, her eyes instantly lit up like the half moon in the sky, and she felt extremely happy.
The smile of being praised during the day appeared on his face again.
She turned her head and looked straight at Lu Ze. Seeing the firm expression on his face, she turned around and murmured at Xiaohe:
"In my book, we also see the green mountains and swim in the riverside.
On the bluestone slab you stepped on, there was a whisper of the wind.
If you walk forward, I just want to follow the umbrella and cross a few bridges, and I don’t know that my sleeves are half wet.
You say that spring is not too late, I will arrive in the real Jiangnan."[1]
Although there were only a few words and whispers, Lu Ze could hear it and was instantly moved.

PS:[1], Drawing from the online poet Jing Zhujiao, "You say that spring is not too late, I will arrive in the real Jiangnan." It can be compared to the ambiguity between men and women. If one party is willing to give a chance, the other party's feelings will be as romantic and beautiful as being in the Jiangnan in spring.
