Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

The next morning, the sunlight penetrated the mist like a thin thread and gently sprinkled on the window frames of Lu Yong and Hannah.

The two opened their eyes almost at the same time, smiled at each other, and their hearts were full of anticipation for today's trip.

Hejian Prefecture Office, this famous and best-preserved ancient government office, is waiting for them to uncover the mystery of history.

"Brother Yong, do you think the Hejian government office will be as majestic and mysterious as in the TV dramas?" Hannah asked curiously while combing her long hair.

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "It's even more exciting than in the TV series. It's a real historical deposit. Let's go through time and experience the life of the ancient government office!"

The two quickly got ready and drove to the Hejian government office. Along the way, Hannah kept imagining what the government office looked like, while Lu Yong told various interesting stories about ancient government offices, and the car was filled with laughter.

Arriving at the Hejian Prefecture Office, the first thing that caught their eyes was the vermilion gate, with a golden plaque on the lintel with the four characters "Hejian Prefecture Office" written on it, which was magnificent. The two bought tickets and entered, as if they had stepped into the long river of history.

"Wow, this place is really ancient!" As soon as Hannah entered the door, she was shocked by the quaint architecture and rich cultural atmosphere.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, holding Hannah's hand: "Come on, let's go in and take a look. This is a window to understand the ancient official art culture!"

The two strolled through the government office, and saw halls scattered in an orderly manner, with exquisite patterns carved between the columns, and every brick and tile revealing the vicissitudes of history. They first came to the lobby, where ancient officials tried cases. In the center of the lobby stood a huge desk, on which were placed the four treasures of the study, and on both sides were majestic classrooms and torture instruments.

"Brother Yong, look at that torture device, it's so scary!" Hannah pointed at the torture device beside her and shrank her neck in fear.

Lu Yong smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, those are all ancient things. Now we live in a society ruled by law, and there will no longer be such cruel punishments."

The two continued walking and came to the second hall. The second hall was more cozy than the main hall. It was where officials handled daily government affairs and met guests. There were several ancient landscape paintings hanging on the wall. The landscape in the paintings was far-reaching and profound, and people seemed to be able to hear the gurgling water and the birds singing.

"Brother Yong, look at that painting, it's so well done!" Hannah exclaimed, pointing at one of the paintings.

Lu Yong nodded and admired the painting carefully: "Yes, the ancient scholars were so talented that they could paint such beautiful paintings."

As they chatted, they unknowingly walked to the back garden. The back garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers, shaded by green trees, and a rockery and pond. They sat in the pavilion by the pond, feeling the tranquility and comfort.

"Brother Yong, I feel like I have traveled through time and space back to that prosperous ancient society!" Hannah closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, this place really has an ancient atmosphere. What would it be like if we lived in ancient times?"

Hannah thought about it and smiled, "Then I must be a talented woman, proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting!"

Lu Yong also laughed: "What about me? I will definitely be a mighty general, galloping on the battlefield to defend my country!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with endless reverie about the ancient times.

In the afternoon, the sunlight became softer. Lu Yong and Hannah said goodbye to the Hejian government office and drove to the next destination, Ji Xiaolan Cultural Park. Ji Xiaolan, a famous writer in the Qing Dynasty, had his hometown here.

"Brother Yong, do you know? I have always liked Ji Xiaolan's stories. He is witty, humorous and talented." Hannah said excitedly in the car.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ji Xiaolan is a legendary figure. I have read his Yuewei Caotang Notes several times!"

The two arrived at the Ji Xiaolan Cultural Park, which was full of green trees and fragrant flowers. They walked along the path and first came to the Ji Xiaolan Life and Deeds Exhibition Hall. The exhibition hall displays Ji Xiaolan's life materials, manuscripts, books and some items he used.

"Look, this is Ji Xiaolan's manuscript!" Hannah exclaimed, pointing to a manuscript in the glass cabinet.

Lu Yong took a closer look and saw that the handwriting on the manuscript was neat and smooth, revealing Ji Xiaolan's profound literary skills. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This handwriting is really beautiful! Ji Xiaolan's calligraphy is also unique!"

The two continued walking and came to Ji Xiaolan's former residence. The former residence has been preserved in its original appearance, and every brick and tile reveals the style of the Qing Dynasty. They walked into Ji Xiaolan's study, which was filled with books and four treasures of the study, and several of Ji Xiaolan's calligraphy and paintings were hung on the wall.

"Brother Yong, look at that painting, is it painted by Ji Xiaolan?" Hannah asked curiously, pointing to a painting on the wall.

Lu Yong looked at it carefully and nodded: "That should be it. The style of this painting is very similar to Ji Xiaolan's. Look at the brushstrokes, how delicate they are!"

The two stayed in the study for a long time, as if they could feel Ji Xiaolan's passion for creation. They imagined Ji Xiaolan writing here and writing down popular articles and stories.

"Brother Yong, I think Ji Xiaolan is really amazing! Not only can he write articles, but he can also paint and do calligraphy very well!" Hannah exclaimed.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ji Xiaolan is a versatile person! His talent and wit are admirable."

The two left the study and came to the garden of Ji Xiaolan Cultural Park. The garden was full of various flowers, colorful and gorgeous. They walked on the flower path, feeling the beauty and harmony of nature.

"Brother Yong, look at that flower, it's so beautiful!" Hannah shouted, pointing at a flower not far away.

Lu Yong looked over and saw that the flower was so beautiful that it was about to burst into tears. There were still a few drops of dew on the petals, sparkling in the sun. He couldn't help but walk over, pick the flower, and hand it to Hannah.

"For you, my talented girl!" Lu Yong said with a smile.

Hannah took the flowers and smiled like a child: "Thank you, Brother Yong! This flower is so beautiful!"

The two strolled in the garden, chatting, enjoying the tranquility and beauty.

"Brother Yong, how was your fun today?" Hannah asked.

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head: "The majesty and mystery of the Hejian government office and the tranquility and beauty of the Ji Xiaolan Cultural Park have made me feel the weight of history and the charm of culture."

Hannah also nodded: "I think Ji Xiaolan is really amazing! I admire his talent and wit very much! I want to come here to play again in the future!"

Lu Yong smiled and touched Hannah's head: "Okay, as long as you are happy, I am happy! We will have more days like this in the future!"

As the sun set, the two left the Ji Xiaolan Cultural Park.

On the way home, they were still reminiscing about the fun things and experiences of the day.

Lu Yong suddenly had an idea and suggested, "Hannah, how about we do an impromptu poetry duet based on today's itinerary?"

Hannah immediately perked up when she heard it: "Okay! I'll go first! 'The ancient charm of Hejian Prefecture is long, and it travels through time and space and stirs my heart.'" Lu Yong was not to be outdone and immediately followed up: "'The fragrance of ink in Ji Garden is everywhere, and the elegance of the talented woman is remembered in my heart.'"

The two of them chatted with each other and had a lot of fun.

The car was filled with laughter, and even the air seemed to have become sweet.

The next day, at dawn, Lu Yong and Hannah set out on a new journey full of anticipation.

Today's destination is the Cangzhou Confucian Temple, the temple dedicated to the great sage Confucius. It is not only a symbol of Cangzhou culture, but also a deep imprint of Confucian culture on this land.

"Brother Yong, what do you think the Confucian Temple will look like?" Hannah asked curiously while packing her backpack.

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "It's more ancient and solemn than you thought. It's a holy place of Confucian culture. Let's go and experience its profoundness!"

The two drove to Cangzhou Confucian Temple. Along the way, Hannah kept imagining what the Confucian Temple looked like, while Lu Yong told interesting stories about Confucius and Confucian culture. The car was filled with laughter.

Arriving at the Confucian Temple, the first thing that caught their eyes was the towering archway with the words "Virtue equals heaven and earth, Dao penetrates the past and present" engraved on it, which was magnificent. The two walked through the archway and slowly walked along the stone road, only to see the halls scattered in an orderly manner, with red walls and gray tiles, simple and elegant.

"Wow, this place is so solemn!" Hannah was shocked by the strong cultural atmosphere as soon as she entered the door.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, holding Hannah's hand: "Let's go in and take a look, and feel the charm of Confucian culture."

The two first came to the Dacheng Hall, the main hall of the Confucian Temple, where the statue of Confucius is enshrined. The Dacheng Hall was filled with incense and solemnity. The statue of Confucius sat in the center, with a kind face and wise eyes. On both sides were statues of Confucius' disciples, standing or sitting in different postures, as if they were listening to Confucius' teachings.

"Brother Yong, look at Confucius' eyes, it's as if he can see through people's hearts!" Hannah exclaimed, pointing at the statue of Confucius.

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head: "He is the most holy teacher. His wisdom can illuminate the ages. Let's go and pay homage to Confucius and pray for his blessing to open our wisdom!"

The two worshiped Confucius devoutly, and then continued to walk in the Confucian Temple. They came to Minglun Hall, where ancient students studied. In Minglun Hall, there were desks and chairs, and it seemed that you could still hear the students reading aloud.

"Brother Yong, do you think the students who studied here back then were all very hardworking?" Hannah asked curiously while sitting at a desk.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Of course, Confucian culture emphasizes 'learning and practicing from time to time', how can you succeed without putting in the effort. Look at this desk and this chair, they both exude a scholarly atmosphere."

As they chatted, they unknowingly walked to the back garden of the Confucian Temple. In the back garden, there were green trees and fragrant flowers. They sat in the pavilion, feeling the tranquility and comfort.

"Brother Yong, I think Confucian culture is really profound!" Hannah exclaimed.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, Confucian culture emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trustworthiness. These are the foundation of our lives. Here, I can feel the profound cultural heritage and spiritual power."

In the afternoon, the sunlight became softer. Lu Yong and Hannah bid farewell to the Cangzhou Confucian Temple and drove to their next destination, the Baiyangdian Qianli Dike. Baiyangdian, the largest freshwater lake in the north, has always attracted countless tourists with its beautiful scenery and unique water town charm.

"Brother Yong, do you know? I have always dreamed of visiting Baiyangdian. The water town scenery there must be beautiful!" Hannah said excitedly in the car.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, Baiyangdian is a beautiful place. The Qianli Dike is a major landscape of Baiyangdian. It must be a great feeling to walk on the dike and appreciate the beautiful scenery of Baiyangdian!"

The two arrived at the Baiyangdian Qianli Embankment, where they saw green trees and a gentle breeze. They strolled along the embankment, where the water of Baiyangdian was sparkling and reeds were growing, creating a vibrant scene.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Hannah was attracted by the beautiful scenery as soon as she entered the door.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, holding Hannah's hand: "Come on, let's walk along the embankment and feel the unique charm of the water town."

The two of them strolled along the Qianli Embankment and saw a few boats drifting leisurely on the lake in the distance. The tourists on the boats were taking photos or enjoying the scenery. Occasionally, a few birds chirped in the nearby reeds, which were crisp and pleasant.

"Brother Yong, look at those small boats, they look so leisurely!" Hannah exclaimed, pointing at the small boats on the lake.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's the characteristic of Baiyangdian. Let's go and rent a boat and go for a stroll on the lake!"

The two rented a boat, paddled, and slowly sailed to the lake. On the lake, the breeze blew on their faces, and the waves sparkled, as if they were in a beautiful ink painting. They admired the beautiful scenery of the lake, chatted, and enjoyed the tranquility and beauty.

"Brother Yong, what do you think of this place?" Hannah asked.

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head: "I never thought there would be such a beautiful water town in the north. This Qianli dike and Baiyang Lake made me feel the charm of nature and the unique charm of the water town."

Hannah also nodded: "Yes, I think this place is like a paradise, it makes people feel relaxed and happy!"

The two rowed the boat and unknowingly came to a lotus pond.

In the lotus pond, lotus flowers are blooming, and the pink petals are sparkling in the sun.

The lotus leaves are green like a canopy, swaying in the wind, as if dancing for the lotus flowers.

"Brother Yong, look at the lotus flowers, they are so beautiful!" Hannah shouted, pointing at the lotus pond.

Lu Yong looked over and saw that the lotus was so beautiful that it seemed to be dripping with water. He couldn't help but pick a lotus flower and handed it to Hannah.

"For you, my water village girl!" Lu Yong said with a smile.

Hannah took the lotus and smiled like a child: "Thank you, Brother Yong! This lotus is so beautiful!"

The two continued to stroll on the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery of Baiyangdian.

"Brother Yong, what do you think was the best moment of today?" Hannah suddenly asked.

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Of course it's when we go boating on the Baiyangdian Lake. It feels like there are only two of us left in the world. It's so beautiful!"

Hannah nodded as well: "Yes, I also think that moment was the coolest! However, I think it was also great to feel the charm of Confucian culture in the Confucian Temple!"

Lu Yong smiled and touched Hannah's head: "Yes, today we have not only felt the influence of culture, but also appreciated the beauty of nature." (End of this chapter)
