The general's wife knows medicine

Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River has been recognized as a dreamlike and picturesque place since ancient times. Tang Peipei has experienced this deeply since he entered Suzhou.

She was originally very curious about Suzhou after hearing Yang Tingzhen's description.

She has always longed for the life in the south of the Yangtze River. She didn't know that there was Suzhou in Qing Kingdom like in her previous life, otherwise she would definitely bring her family to Suzhou.

She remembered seeing a description of Suzhou in her previous life, which said that Suzhou was a painting in the water and water in the painting, so it was also called a water town.

She also remembered a poem by Tang Dynasty poet Du Xunhe, "Sending Someone to Wu"

When I see you in Gusu, everyone is sleeping by the river.

There is little vacant land in the ancient palace, but many water lanes and small bridges.

Water chestnuts and lotus roots are sold at the night market, and spring boats are loaded with silk and satin.

It describes the Suzhou water town, where houses are connected and the scene is bustling.

There is a moat at the city gate of Suzhou, and villagers from nearby villages do business along the river.

It may be because Suzhou is a place for trading goods, so unlike other places, horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to enter the city.

Tang Peipei and his companions drove the carriage into the city and saw a lively scene everywhere, just as it was described in the poems of the ancients.

Suzhou is indeed the best place for Daqing to buy and sell goods. Just on the short way here, I saw many horse-drawn carriages carrying goods in and out of the city gate.

"Sister, there are so many people here, it's so lively!" Lu Xinyu was also very excited looking at this lively scene.

Although the capital city is bustling, she hasn't had many opportunities to witness such bustle.

Tang Peipei asked Wu San, "Wu San, do you know the place that Deputy General Yang mentioned?"

Wu San said: "I know, but it's a little late today. How about we go early tomorrow morning?"

Lu Lifeng nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, let's find an inn first, have a good rest for a night, and get some rest. It will be better if we can meet people in good spirits tomorrow."

Tang Peipei said: "Okay, let's find an inn first."

Wu San was very familiar with the city of Suzhou because he sometimes came to Suzhou with Wu De.

He remembered the general's instructions to him when he came, and said, "Sister Peipei, my cousin told me before we came that we don't need to look for an inn after we arrive. He has a house here, and no one else lives in it. There is only an uncle who helps to look after it. He said that we can just stay at his place after we arrive."

Lu Lifeng was surprised and said, "Lieutenant General Yang also has a house in Suzhou?" The houses here don't look cheap at all!

Tang Peipei knew in her heart that all this was probably arranged by Mu Jintang.

After thinking about it and not wanting to disappoint him, she nodded in agreement.

Wu San led Tang Peipei and a few others to run around and finally came to an alley. The alley was very quiet and not as lively as when they entered the city.

Wu San brought Tang Peipei and others to a house in the middle of the alley.

Wu San went up and knocked on the door, and an old man opened it.

Seeing that it was Wu San, he smiled and said, "Boy, why are you here?"

Wu San moved aside, revealing Tang Peipei and others behind him.

The old man was a little confused, as he didn't know any of these people.

Then he looked at Wu San and asked, "Who are these people?"

Wu San replied, "Uncle Liu, these are my brother's friends. They came to Suzhou to stay for a few days. My brother asked me to bring them here to stay for a few days."

Liu Bo thought that the brother Wu San was talking about was Wu De, so he didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and invited Tang Peipei and others into the house.

Tang Peipei and his companions went in and found that although the yard looked ordinary from the outside, it was actually a whole different world inside.

This is a three-courtyard complex.

A back house was built at the entrance, where Liu Bo usually lived. The second door leads to the inner courtyard, which is very large and planted with many flowers and plants. A small fish pond was built in the middle of the courtyard. There were lotus leaves in the pond, and some of them had even begun to grow flower buds.

On both sides of the inner courtyard are the east and west wing rooms, and further in is the main house. There is an ear room on each side of the main house, both of which are now empty.

Behind it are three courtyards, the back room and the kitchen.

Tang Peipei looked at the huge courtyard, her eyes full of longing. She wished she could own a house like this one. It was so beautiful.

The whole house is paved with blue bricks, the ground is paved with marble, and the yard is paved with small stones into some beautiful shapes.

Moreover, from the moment they entered the courtyard, they could smell a faint scent of sandalwood.

Lu Xinyu had seen the appearance of the general's mansion and the imperial palace, so naturally she was not too impressed by these three courtyards.

But Tang Peipei and Lu Lifeng, who had never seen all this, were completely amazed.

Lu Lifeng asked Wu San in a low voice: "Wu San, why does this room smell like a faint fragrance? It smells really good."

Wu San also whispered back: "This is red sandalwood. All the furniture in this room is made of the finest red sandalwood. Even the shelf for the flower pots by the pond."

Although Wu San spoke in a low voice, Tang Peipei, who was very close to the two of them, still heard it. She widened her eyes in shock. How could it be so extravagant!

I suddenly felt a sense of disappointment.

It can be seen from this empty house that Mu Jintang's family is not only powerful but also wealthy.

I'm afraid that even if I pat ten horses, I still wouldn't be worthy of it!

Tang Peipei instantly lost interest in viewing the house and asked Wu San, "Where do we live then?"

Wu San said, "Sister Peipei, you can live in this room." Wu San pointed to the master bedroom.

Tang Peipei took a look and shook her head, saying, "No need. That's the master's room after all. Xinyu and I will live in the east wing." After saying that, without waiting for Wood to answer, she pulled Lu Xinyu into the room.

Lu Lifeng hadn't appreciated it enough, so he pulled Wu San aside and asked him to introduce it to others. He thought that when he returned, he could tell Liu Yeling about his experience in Suzhou.

Wu San did not refuse, of course, and said to Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, please go to Huixinlou and order a table of food."

Liu Bo nodded and left.

After saying that, he took Lu Lifeng around the yard.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" After entering the room, Lu Xinyu found that Tang Peipei was in a bad mood.

But just now she saw her sister looking at the house happily.

Tang Peipei looked at Lu Xinyu and didn't know how to tell her, "It's okay. If you want to go out and play, go by yourself. I may be a little tired. Let's take a rest first."

Lu Xinyu shook her head and said, "I won't go. I'll stay with you."

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "I'm really fine." But the smile did not reach his eyes.

Lu Xinyu didn't say that she understood Tang Peipei 100%, but she could still see it.

He shook his head and said, "I won't go. I want to stay here with my sister." Then he hugged Tang Peipei and said, "Sister, please don't find me annoying. I will rely on you for the rest of my life."

Tang Peipei knew that Lu Xinyu was teasing her on purpose, so she rubbed her head and said, "Okay, I'm willing to stay with you. I don't mind you being annoying."

Lu Xinyu leaned her head on Tang Peipei's shoulder and said, "I knew that I was the best." Tears flashed in her eyes.

Tang Peipei didn’t know what Lu Xinyu had experienced in her previous life, so she could only give her as much warmth as possible.

Lu Xinyu felt more and more guilty about the warmth Tang Peipei gave her.

Because of this, the relationship between the two is getting better and better.
