It was not early when they came back from Pingzhen, and it was dark in a short time.

Wu Sien entered the door in darkness, looking for lights all over the ground: "Where are the lights?"

"There's no electricity here. Xu Wen said helplessly.

"I didn't ...... There is no electricity? What era is this, are you worthy of the country's village-to-village project?" Wu Sien became familiar with Xu Wen, and he spoke more unscrupulously.

"I'm sorry, indeed, but I haven't thought it all over yet. Xu asked.

"Didn't think about anything?"

Before Wu Sien could finish speaking, Xu Wen walked over to the side of the foyer and lit the candle in the stone lamp.

The stone lamp was already there, and the candle was the one he had recently put in, and it could still be lit.

The lamp seemed to have been specially designed, and the candlelight reflected out was much brighter than usual, and the huge foyer was covered with a thin layer of light, which could be vaguely seen clearly.

Wu Sien looked around, took a light breath, and praised: "This is also so beautiful!"

The front hall of Xu's house is dilapidated and crumbling, and most of it has collapsed, and it is the most seriously damaged place. But the foyer in front of it is very well preserved.

There are two simple trees in front of the door, indicating that the servants are greeting, and there are layers of brick and stone carvings on the door, each of which is exquisite and extraordinary, even if there is damage and water mold, it only shows the traces of wind and frost and time, but it adds to its brilliance.

Now everything is revealed under the candlelight, hazy, quiet and moving, and every vine on the wall seems to write the years and elegance.

"Indeed, the original ecology is more beautiful. Wu Sien quickly understood Xu Wen's hesitation, "But whether it is a personal residence or an external exhibition, it must still use electricity, that is, to think about how not to destroy the original landscape." ”

"Indeed, I think so too. There are also three inside, and there are three entrances here. Xu Wen stretched out his hand and gestured inside.

Wu Sien reluctantly glanced around and followed him.

He is the person in charge of the carrier company, and he is also a very knowledgeable person, he really didn't expect that a small foyer could make him a little reluctant to leave.

Maybe it's because there's only one candle light, and it's more ambient?

Wu Sien pondered as he followed Xu Wen inside.

When Xu Wen lit the second candle, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ouch, how did this place become like this?"

"I have analyzed here that someone should have rented a collective residence for a period of time, experienced smashing, and was set on fire. Later, it was uninhabited and overgrown with vines, and it did seem that the situation was really bad. Xu asked.

Wu Sien had experienced the initial planning of the protection of ancient buildings, he pondered for a moment, and asked Xu: "Have you checked the county records in the history of Wanyuan, and do you have any introduction here?"

"I checked, but no. "Xu Wen did check.

"What about the neighbors? Did any of the grandparents live here? Will they know something?"

"I've also inquired that this place used to be called Dagong Lane, and it is said that many famous craftsmen lived here. Later, during the turmoil/turmoil, they basically moved out, and the people who moved in later knew about the abandoned house, but they never came in, and they didn't know the details. ”

"Haven't been in at all?"

"Yes, I asked people of several ages if they had ever ventured here when they were children, and they all said no, Mo Ming had a sense of fear of this place and did not dare to approach it easily. ”

Hearing this, Wu Sien couldn't help but glance at Xu Wen more, and said, "It's quite thorough." ”

"Yes, when I first took over this house, I was also very curious. In addition, knowing more about its origin is also more conducive to later restoration. ”

"Indeed, those experts from the Antiquities Bureau will look into this aspect when they go back. ”

"Hopefully they'll find out more. ”

Xu Wen said this sincerely.

When he first investigated this place, Xu Wen was really cautious, for fear that others would find out that something was wrong here.

However, after investigating for a while, he found that he was thinking too much.

Xu Zhai is indeed real, although there are some situations in it that are strange to him, and even bring him special experiences and special lives, but the way it exists in this world is very natural, logical, self-consistent, and clear.

You don't have to worry about what moths it will make, no matter how you look at it, it's just a normal old house waiting to be repaired.

Therefore, Xu Wen really wanted to find out more about it. In any case, the more information you have, the more content you can refer to in the subsequent restoration, and the more relaxed you will be when working.

He continued to walk inside with Wu Sien, and arrived at the Four Seasons Hall.

There are stone lamps on the outside and candlesticks on the inside, and when lit, they will be brighter than the others, but on the whole, they are still dark and hazy.

After all, the ancients worked at sunrise and the day never stopped, and the lighting at night was only a measure of rights, unlike now, where there are lights everywhere, there is a rich nightlife, and the urban area hardly sleeps.

However, the dark and hazy environment not only did not seem eerie, but only added to the beauty of the place, and from the moment he entered, Wu Sien almost held his breath, and walked to the backyard pond before relaxing and exhaling softly.

"I know why Elder Rong suggested that you declare the protection of national cultural relics, this mansion does have such value, and it is even worthy of a first grade. Wu Sien said sincerely.

"And I had a doubt just now, and now it's been solved. He paused, then added.

"What doubts?" asked Xu Wen, puzzled.

"This is Quhe Road, with a large number of gardens in front, and it has been a place where scholars and eunuchs have lived since ancient times. It stands to reason that artisans are not qualified to live here. Wu Sien was very clear about the status of ancient craftsmen, "I have been thinking before, this place has a good geographical location, how can it be called Dagong Lane, there are craftsmen living here, it is incredible." Looking at it now, craftsmen of this level were rare in ancient times, and they can be regarded as artists, and maybe there is an official position in the Ministry of Industry or something, so it is quite reasonable to live here. ”

But in this case, Wanyuan's county records will not be unreflected. ”

One of the great features of the Chinese heritage is the local chronicles, which record the major events that took place in the local area, and can often provide great help for the cultural relics to be judged.

Wanyuan has been a prosperous place since ancient times, and the local chronicles record the details and inheritance, if the builder of the Xu Mansion was famous at that time, it will definitely be reflected in it.

"Well, that makes sense, it's me who makes up too much brain. Wu Sien quickly admitted his mistake, "But I'm still curious, who built such a beautiful house?"

Xu Wen also wants to know this.

Wu Sien didn't stay here for long, about an hour, he looked at the time on his phone, and said goodbye to Xu Wen. He was going to the airport to pick up the consultant of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and when he left, he promised Xu Wen that he would definitely introduce Xu Zhai to the advisory group and truthfully convey his feelings tonight to them.

Xu Wen is actually not worried at all, when he was a genuine layman, he could be attracted by this place at a glance, and after engaging in this business, the more beautiful he looked, the more thrilling he became.

As long as those experts are not biased, Xu Zhai doesn't have to worry about not getting the evaluation it deserves.

Wu Sien left, and Xu Zhai returned to his usual calm again.

Xu Wen turned around, and Jing Cheng stood not far away.

As if by coincidence, the position where the two of them are standing now is exactly where Xu Wen stood when he wanted to escape from here.

Xu Wen was at the door, and Jing Cheng was behind him.

However, time has passed, and now he will no longer want to escape, the two are opposed, and Xu Wen has a vague sense of dominance.

"As you wish, the restoration is about to begin. Can you help me with a hand?" asked Xu Wen with a smile.
