In Bai Yejin's mind, Lin Yifeng is a reliable, mature and steady person.

Bai Yejin felt that Lin Yifeng was more reliable than her father.

“Auntie’s reputation is far more important than a mere piece of clothing.”

Lin Yifeng said with a smile, circling around Bai Yejin, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Auntie. We'll come back at this time in two days. What do you think, Auntie?"

"Alright, come back in two days, and I'll show you just how stunning your wife looks in my cheongsam!"

Rong Enniang's lips curled up. Many people come to her to buy Suzhou embroidery and cheongsams, but she has never seen a girl as beautiful and with such an outstanding figure as Bai Yejin before.

From entering Rong En's mother's courtyard to leaving, it took less than 20 minutes.

After Lin Yifeng and his group came out, they looked at the sky and decided to take a stroll around Suzhou.

Suzhou is also known as Jiangnan.

This place boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, and its scenery is delightful, making it well worth a visit.

Lin Yifeng first visited the garden.

The gardens of Suzhou are truly exceptional.

The Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden, and other gardens are representative of Suzhou gardens.

For example, Lingering Garden is known as the best of the three major gardens in Jiangnan. Its architecture is exquisite and fulfills all the fantasies of northerners about gardens.

Xu Qingyi and Gangzi couldn't appreciate such beautiful gardens, but Bai Yejin loved them very much. Except for the hottest time at noon when she found a place to rest, she spent the rest of the time admiring the gardens of Suzhou.

It wasn't until after 4 p.m., when the group had visited all four gardens, that their Suzhou garden tour came to an end.

"Gangzi, are you tired?"

"very tired!"

"I never imagined that visiting a few small parks would be so tiring!"

Behind Lin Yifeng, Xu Qingyi and Gangzi whispered to each other, wondering what was so interesting about the garden that Bai Yejin could walk around for four or five hours without feeling tired.

Moreover, visiting one garden wasn't enough; they had to visit four—something neither of them could even imagine.

"You all still need to read more books."

Lin Yifeng seemed to have ears in the back of his head, and he heard their whispers. He slowed his pace, as if to help Bai Yejin explain:

"The four gardens we visited today may not seem very different to you, but for me and Bai Yejin, the differences are significant."

"The first garden I visited was the Humble Administrator's Garden, which is known as the mother of Chinese gardens and is a dramatic history of the rise and fall of a family."

"The Humble Administrator's Garden is a garden built during the Ming Dynasty, and its owner was the censor Wang Xian..."

Lin Yifeng spoke eloquently, telling Xu Qingyi and Gangzi about the history of the garden and the architectural style of the dynasty it belonged to.

Many buildings in China, if you just look at them, you'll find them quite uninteresting.

But if you add a story, background, and origin, you'll suddenly feel that this place is particularly interesting, even possessing a kind of romance unique to literati.

This kind of romance is called inheritance, and also culture.

In later generations, when people travel, they need to find a guide to explain the background and origin of the ancient buildings or museums they visit.

Among them, the Terracotta Army is the most outstanding.

If you go to Chang'an to see the Terracotta Army, but you don't understand the history and don't ask someone to explain it to you, then you might as well not go at all.

Because the Terracotta Army itself isn't particularly interesting.

These things have been unearthed for too long, and the colors on them have long since oxidized and faded. If you just look at them, the Terracotta Army is just a big pit of dirt, and there's really nothing to see.

The same is true of the gardens in Suzhou.

The four gardens they visited today belong to different dynasties.

The Humble Administrator's Garden is a garden from the Ming Dynasty, the Lion Grove Garden is from the Yuan Dynasty, the Lingering Garden is from the Qing Dynasty, and the Canglang Pavilion is from the Song Dynasty.

If you don't understand the background and content, and just watch it without really understanding it, you'll find it quite uninteresting.

For example, Xu Qingyi and Gangzi felt it was really not interesting, not as fun as playing arcade games.

Around 5 p.m., Lin Yifeng and his group went to the city center and found a time-honored restaurant to try Suzhou cuisine, specifically Su-style dishes.

Suzhou cuisine is a local cuisine of Suzhou, including dishes such as squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, sizzling eel, braised duck in Suzhou sauce, crab roe tofu, braised pork with bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots, braised pork with tofu knots, and ginkgo and bok choy.

Lin Yifeng and his group of four served eight dishes, which made Bai Yejin keep saying that it was enough.

Eight dishes...

They thought they wouldn't be able to finish it, but it turned out that it wasn't enough for Lin Yifeng and his three companions.

Suzhou cuisine is known for its refinement and beauty. The portions are small, but the dishes are exceptionally beautiful and delicious.

In the words of later generations...

Suzhou cuisine is perfect for beautiful women to take photos and check in.

After finishing the eight dishes, Lin Yifeng and the others were still a little hungry. He originally wanted to order some more dishes so that everyone could eat and drink their fill, but after thinking about it, he decided not to order any more.

"We're going to listen to Kunqu Opera later. When we get to the Kunqu Opera venue, we'll order some food."

In the Central Plains Province, it is Henan Opera, while in Suzhou, it is Kunqu Opera.

Coming to Suzhou without listening to Kunqu Opera would be an incomplete experience.

Lin Yifeng chose the Kunqu Opera House in Suzhou as the venue. This Kunqu Opera House was built in 1977 and is very famous in Suzhou.

The ticket price wasn't expensive, but the actors were very professional.

Lin Yifeng and his group watched two performances: "Empress Lü's Usurpation of the Kingdom" and "Li Bai and Yang Guifei".

kindness.

Xu Qingyi and Gangzi have absolutely no artistic talent; they can even fall asleep while listening to Kunqu Opera.

Bai Yejin, on the other hand, had sparkling eyes. After the Kunqu Opera ended, she took Lin Yifeng's hand and nestled in his arms.
