27. There is no direct bus from Zhou Ruxin's residence to Yuyin Shanfang.If you change trains, you have to change several times, but the route problem can't help Lin Suqing at all.She proposed a route that Zhou Ruxin would definitely not object to: first take a bus to University City, then take a boat from Nanting Ferry in University City to Nancun Ferry, and then walk slowly over there.

Indeed, Zhou Ruxin agreed as soon as she heard it.

So I went to the University City by car. No matter what the critics say about the unreliability of the University City or the pure performance of the project, it cannot be denied that the University City is still relatively beautiful.

The ancient ancestral hall and the big banyan tree in front of the ferry in Nanting Village make people feel like they are leaving the metropolis.

There are some scattered stone benches under the big banyan tree for the people waiting for the boat to rest. When Zhou Ruxin and the two arrived, the previous boat had just left, so they chose a place near the water and sat down to wait for the next boat. arrival.

The river water is not dirty, the wind blows, and the river surface has layers of ripples. Zhou Ruxin likes this scene very much, especially, she turns to look at Lin Suqing who is sitting beside her, um, especially the person next to her is Suqing.

"Suqing is used to rivers that are much bigger than this?" Zhou Ruxin thought of the university where Lin Suqing studied, and that city had a Dongting [-] miles away.

Lin Suqing smiled: "Aside from staying in school and studying hard, I was working everywhere. I really didn't go out to play much."

Zhou Ruxin recalled what He Jieying had said, and felt sorry for Suqing: "Then I will go out with Suqing more often."

"Okay, then it's settled. Ruxin will accompany me more in the future."

Before the boat arrived, Zhou Ruxin looked at the turbulent water, and suddenly remembered an interesting incident: "Does Su Qing know that there was Zhu Zhangdu on the Xiangjiang River at the foot of Yuelu Mountain?"

"Zhu Zhangdu?" Lin Suqing thought for a while, then guessed: "Zhu Xi and Zhang Shi?"

"Well, yes, it is said that Zhu Xi and Zhang Shi used to come to Yuelu Academy to give lectures through this ferry. Su Qing also knew about it? It's really amazing. But now I can't find any trace. By the way, when I was a freshman, our class leader organized everyone to go to Yuelu Academy. The legendary Zhuzhang Ferry stepped on the river beach to hold a barbecue party in the center of the river. It was still early when we went there. Everyone brought all kinds of barbecue supplies and stepped on the river beach to the center of the river to start the barbecue. Guess what happened later how was it?"

Lin Suqing thought for a while, and was about to answer when she saw that the ferry had docked, so she first pulled Zhou Ruxin onto the boat, leaned against the railing of the ferry, and said, "Since Ruxin asked me to guess, something unexpected must have happened. Well, did the river flood at night, and then you were trapped in the middle of the river?"

Zhou Ruxin gave Lin Suqing a big smile: "Wow, Suqing, you are so smart. Those of us who grew up in small mountain villages never knew what the ebb and flow of the tide was. When the tide rises and the river falls, the water will also rise and fall. As a result, a group of us were trapped in the center of the river for one night, hahaha, but because it is summer, it will not be cold. At that time, everyone was young, and we ate slowly and baked slowly. , while chatting, everyone who was still a little strange at first became close. We didn’t go back to school until the tide went out the next morning. It became two pairs."

"Then Ruxin didn't fall in love with anyone at the beginning?" Lin Suqing asked with a smile.

Zhou Ruxin was happy: "I knew about dating books at that time. And, you know that barbecues are mostly meaty, and it's rare to eat so much meat at one time. What a rare opportunity for me, haha, I'm so grateful for that The main impression of the evening is eating and eating, um, and there are really many mosquitoes in the grass in the middle of the river."

When Lin Suqing heard this, she looked at Zhou Ruxin in surprise: "Huh? Was Ruxin actually a foodie back then?"

Zhou Ruxin thought for a while: "It's not a foodie, it's just that the food in the school cafeteria is usually colder, and I don't care about losing weight when I'm young, so it's really rare for me to have the opportunity to eat meat to my heart's content. of."

Listening to these words, Lin Suqing was silent for a while, even if Ru Xin didn't say anything, she knew that she must have had a hard time back then.This person never mentioned the difficulties in the past.

When the boat landed, Lin Suqing led Zhou Ruxin carefully to the shore. The side of Nancun Ferry and the side of the university town are like two worlds. If the side of the university town is a city, then this side feels like the countryside.

However, Zhou Ruxin liked it very much.Walking on the gravel road, looking at the wild flowers blooming freely on both sides of the road, Zhou Ruxin seemed to have returned to the past, and it was still the road to school, and the wild flowers blooming on both sides of the road accompanied her all the way.

In a daze, she didn't pay attention to her feet, and ended up kicking a protruding piece in the middle of the road. Seeing that Zhou Ruxin was about to stagger and fall, Lin Suqing, who was always paying attention, quickly grabbed her.

It's just that she pulled it harder, but Zhou Ruxin didn't fall down, but was almost pulled into Lin Suqing's arms.

Zhou Ruxin felt that she was really going back as she lived, that such a big person would fall down every step of the way, and it was really ashamed to be surrounded by Su Qing in her arms like this.

She quickly stood up, and Lin Suqing naturally let go, and Zhou Ruxin's ears turned red with embarrassment for a moment, so she chuckled and teased her: "Ru Xin, is there any gold on the ground?"

After walking a few more steps, Zhou Ruxin said: "Yes, where is the daughter, didn't Suqing just pick up one?"

Lin Suqing listened, and looked at her with a smile: "Yes, it's such a big one, I really don't want to let go."

Hearing these words and looking at that smile, Zhou Ruxin inexplicably thought of that little rascal Ji Cuo again, tsk tsk, why does it feel like Su Qing is a little rascal too.

Simply stop talking and just walk forward. After a section of gravel road, there is a long alley. On both sides of the alley, there are various flowers and plants, all of which are very lively. Occasionally, there are puppies at the base of the wall to enjoy the shade. The little cats and Zhou Ruxin happily moved over to have a look one by one. Lin Suqing followed behind her, feeling that the years are quiet and beautiful.

On the way, Lin Suqing bought two bottles of water and some biscuits, Zhou Ruxin didn't think it was necessary: ​​"We'll be out after a while."

Su Qing smiled: "It's not heavy anyway, take it first." What she thought in her heart was "You really want to live in there, and you can come out after a while." She took it by herself, Zhou Ruxin looked a little embarrassed, she just grabbed a bottle of water and took it.

The destination is not too far away. Walk through this long alley, turn a few turns, and then walk through a section of stone road that looks a bit antique, and you will arrive at the gate of Yuyin Mountain House.

Zhou Ruxin originally wanted to go to the window to buy tickets, but Suqing said that she had already bought them online, the tickets were not expensive in the first place, and there was a [-]% discount.

Well, Zhou Ruxin thinks that as long as she goes out with Suqing in the future, she probably just needs to be a follower.

Entering the door, the inside and the outside are like two space-times, with verandahs and eaves, bluestone roads, and well-planned courtyards. Not many people come here, making it even more secluded.

Zhou Ruxin likes the couplets on the colonnade the most. After looking at them one by one carefully, there are some handwriting that I can’t make out, so I searched on Baidu to compare them carefully. Of course, I also like the various plants planted inside, even if it is I don't know, but it's fun to see more.

It has been a while since the last time I came here. Zhou Ruxin found that there was an extra courtyard on the right hand side of the entrance. Looking carefully, it was obviously an antique courtyard that was added later. Zhou Ruxin didn't like this kind of building very much, no matter how old it looked. The ancient color is always just a counterfeit, without the charm accumulated by the years, so I didn't plan to go in to see it, but Lin Suqing didn't know about it, so she walked over first, Zhou Ruxin felt that there was no need to slander this newly built courtyard, so she hesitated So he followed Su Qing and walked over.

As soon as I entered, I found that this place was built for commercial use, with food, souvenirs, calligraphy and painting exhibitions, and the "routines" that can be seen in general tourist attractions. Zhou Ruxin sighed softly.

Suqing's ears were very sensitive, so she heard it immediately, and asked, "Have Ru Xin been here before? How was this place before?"

Zhou Ruxin thought about it for a while: "I remember that there was no such courtyard before, so there were no such shops."

Lin Suqing thought for a while: "Ru Xin, these days, there are too few people who don't rush for money. What's more, it costs a lot of money to maintain such an ancient building. You saw it just now. Ticket revenue is unlikely..."

Zhou Ruxin smiled: "Suqing, I'm not a person who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, but I just feel that the current tourist attractions are a thousand and one-sided, and commercial use is commercial, but these stores don't fully display the characteristics of each tourist attraction. A classmate once said with a smile that China’s land area is so large, but it’s a pity that looking at each city, there is not much difference except for the size, and it seems that they are all made of the same model, which is a pity.”

Lin Suqing looked around and joked: "That's still a bit special, look, the tourist attractions in the north will definitely not sell double skin milk and ginger bump milk." Well, so, Suqing is really a wonderful person .

Understanding is understanding, but in the end neither of them would like this feeling, so the two of them walked through the connected promenade and began to slowly appreciate the scenery of this famous garden.Lin Suqing likes the octagonal pavilion the most. Looking at it from eight directions, the scenery is different. The scholars of that era did have their elegance.

However, Zhou Ruxin pondered for a long time in the lady's building. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if she can only stay in one lady's building and watch, how boring the long years will be.

She told Lin Suqing: "I used to read "The Peony Pavilion" and I really didn't understand how Du Liniang was so excited when I went to the back garden to see the flowers. Until I came to see this lady's building in person, it is said that the young lady in this Yuyuan Garden was very excited. Those who are rarely allowed to go downstairs suddenly fully understand Du Liniang's original mood."

I didn't know what to think of while talking, and sighed softly again: "From ancient times to the present, the sky for women has always been low."

Listening to this sigh, Lin Suqing said seriously: "After all, today is different from the past, the key is how we see ourselves. In the cultural tradition of China for thousands of years, women always depend on men to survive, so they feel that women are The sky is very low. In fact, the times are really different now. As long as we are self-reliant and believe that we can own a piece of sky with our own hands, then we will not become men's accessories. Just like today The woman in the story we heard, in fact, she can start a business by herself, relying on her connections over the years, she can find a way to manage a business by herself, it is she who refuses to leave that man, her character determines her destiny , her ending is actually decided by herself. Zhang Ailing said that the sky for women is very low, and that is because she has never been able to get out of the shadow of Hu Lancheng in her whole life."

Zhou Ruxin thought for a while: "Suqing, what you said is reasonable, but it is still impossible to say that men and women are equal. Otherwise, why are there so few women in high positions?"

Lin Suqing smiled: "God created man. Originally, there were many differences between men and women in terms of innate physiology and acquired psychology. It is also doomed that we will definitely not be the same in the choice of career positions. Of course, there are thousands of years of history. The shadow of male superiority and female inferiority is at play, but it is undeniable that the main reason is that many women are willing to take good care of their husbands and children at home from the bottom of their hearts, how many of your female colleagues in Ruxin have the ambition to climb up?"

Zhou Ruxin thought about it: "Rarely, most female colleagues only want to marry a good husband and raise a good child."

"That's right, so, the high and low of the sky is actually just a kind of self-knowledge, A is honey and B is □□, Ruxin, don't think too much, come on, smile more, grow less Wrinkles." Lin Suqing was a little joking as she spoke.

It was rare for Zhou Ruxin to cooperate: "If you laugh too much, you will get laugh lines."

As soon as they mentioned this, they both remembered an anecdote they had read a few days ago. It said that there was a woman in a foreign country who did not smile for 30 years in order to prevent herself from getting wrinkles. Hahaha, that was enough.

The two couldn't help laughing, while leaning closer to each other and looking at each other's faces carefully.

"Ruxin Ruxin, what skin care products do you use? Look, we are both in the same age, and I already have crow's feet, but your face is still as smooth and clean as before." Lin Suqing tsk-tsk.

Zhou Ruxin thought for a while: "I don't use any cosmetics, I wash my face with clean water every day, um, maybe it's because I'm fatter than you? It is said that fat people's skin doesn't look old."

Lin Suqing heard: "Oh, Ruxin, you are so easy to raise. Look, cosmetics are a big expense for many women, and you never use them."

Zhou Ruxin smiled, inexplicably recalling the topic about nurturing that day: "Yeah, I'm so easy to raise, do you really want to foster?"

Even though she knew that Zhou Ruxin was joking casually because they were familiar with each other, Lin Suqing restrained her smile and replied seriously: "Yes, I really want to."

Why did Zhou Ruxin suddenly seem serious when she heard this voice?Looking at Su Qing's smiling face, and subconsciously glanced at her eyes, this person's eyes were deep and quiet, clearly reflecting her own face, Zhou Ruxin suddenly felt a little flustered, so she hurriedly excused herself to look at the courtyard. The plum blossom tree next to him hurried away.

As he walked away, he spurned himself, "Zhou Ruxin, why are you panicking? It's just a joke among friends. Well, I really don't want to make any jokes about nurturing in the future."
