Chapter 22 A Different Way
During this period of time, Li Yujiao and Tang Yi went in and out together, and there was an indescribable subtle relationship, or it would be like this in the eyes of outsiders.
Usually commuting to and from work is Li Yujiao grasping the time, and occasionally Li Yujiao will ask Tang Yi to leave in advance, these small details can see Li Yujiao's carefulness.
Tang Yi has also stayed in the Innovation Park for a while, usually Saturday and Sunday are his own time, usually with the mobile phone, but rarely go out, sometimes chat with roommates, talk about the mountains, exchange daily experiences or discoveries with each other, and always feel that the weekend time is fast.
After getting off work on Friday that day, Li Yujiao said that they were going to Xiangshan on the weekend and invited Tang Yi to go with them, and Xiangshan heard that it was a beautiful place. Tang Yi readily agreed.
Xiangshan is far away on the outskirts of the city, far away but there are buses, but they have to leave at six or seven o'clock. My roommate invited me to climb Xiangshan Mountain, but because I asked to get up early, I finally planned to go to the bath. At this time, it is the golden autumn of September, it is a good season for the maple leaves to be reddish and the flow of people is sparse. Originally, Li Yujiao said to go together, but later because of the different places where she lived, she called temporarily and said that they would go separately and meet at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. It's probably because of unfamiliarity, or the reservedness of girls.
Finally, the girl took the initiative to ask herself, although she couldn't clearly explain anything, but how could she not go, and besides, it was always good to go outside to see, Tang Yi agreed. However, good things are probably a lot of grinding, I didn't pay attention to it for a while, I didn't expect to oversleep in a night, and Tang Yi didn't get up until eight o'clock on Saturday morning.
Seeing that I'm going to be late, and it's almost an hour, what can I do? Although it is a group activity, it is rare for someone else to ask themselves, how can it be like this.
Let others wait, how to talk when they get there, I can't always say. Tang Yi hesitated for a long time, but decided to go.
The bus sat for about five or six stops, and Li Yujiao called to ask where to go. It's too late, so let's change our plans and "find another way". One is responsible for other people's actions, and the other is responsible for his own actions, so as not to be in a hurry, thinking like this, Tang Yi changed his mind and went to Yuanmingyuan to see what was going on. Thinking of this, Tang Yi said a few apologies again and again, and then rejected them.
I don't know what they think, there's no way to do it. So I changed to another bus and drove to Yuanming Garden. Fortunately, it is not far from Yuanmingyuan.
Yuanmingyuan is a famous building in the Qing Dynasty,
Once piled up with gold and jade, hidden treasures, as a royal garden, a whole dynasty and era. Now after the filter of time and the baptism of the world, Yuanmingyuan is displayed in front of people with a new attitude, although there is no prosperity in the past, but it is still listed in the most conspicuous place in the capital, quietly for tourists to watch.
Many things can only mark an era, and do a mark of an era. For example, a song, such as a person, such as a relationship, can only stay in people's memories later, and occasionally ripple in the heart.
Fortunately, the edge of the circle is not far away, the car arrived soon, and what greeted me was an open-air square, full of flowers, various, fresh and gorgeous, neat and neat, and the entrance was crowded with people who stopped and walked. Obviously, today's Yuan Mingyuan has been returned to a tourist attraction.
Tang Yi entered through a small door in the front.
The first area is the flower field. There are all kinds of flowers and plants on display inside, such as banyan trees, such as lilies, but these flowers and plants do not have labels, and Tang Yi can't recognize all the flowers, or most of them. They are colorful and colorful in the sun. Pedestrians gather together to watch, constantly take pictures, and take group photos.
The second area is a non-open-air exhibition hall, which displays all kinds of famous paintings and calligraphy, but more of them are young famous paintings and calligraphy, because on the whole, the quality of these paintings and calligraphy works is not very good, and it may only belong to the stage of publicity, and some of them are clearly marked with prices ranging from hundreds to thousands. The huge exhibition hall was confused by these somewhat random calligraphy and painting works, besides, this is Yuan Mingyuan, a famous garden, how can you engage in marketing here, Tang Yi shook his head and paced out.
Then there is the free zone, which is open one by one, and some of them have some stories, but because I am alone and have no guides, I can only "hearsay" and I don't know the mystery very well. Flutes, gourd silk, pendants and other handicrafts with national characteristics are also loaded into Yuanmingyuan, placed in a conspicuous position for people to choose, with a touch of national flavor.
The lotus pond divides the entire Ming Garden into several areas, each with a unique four-character name, and each road is full of tourists.
However, some of the names are heard for the first time, and the more impressive is the "Zhengda Guangming Palace", which was once the royal summer resort and political holy place, the place where the royal temporary office borrowed the scenery, the building is ancient, and it is located in a grand manner, and I heard that there are also tribute items given to the Qianlong Emperor by foreign friends in it. "Pengdao Yaotai" is a more famous scenic spot, I heard that the symbol of the legend of Penglai, Yingzhou, abbot three "fairy mountains", in the middle of the sea pond there is a look, passing by here visitors will point out, talk about one or two, it seems that the search for immortals to visit the mountain is not just a preference of the people. "Quyuan Wind Lotus", modeled on the West Lake of Hangzhou, the wind moves the lotus water hall incense, the Quming courtyard is auspicious, I heard that Cixi likes to travel more in the past, and there is a different flavor.
I have forgotten about other places, but I feel that Yuan Mingyuan has lost its former brilliance, desecrated by modern elements, and looks bleak and lonely, just like this jagged lotus leaf and calm stagnant water. If there is no crowd, there must be no name here, only lonely hermits are willing to patronize.
It is said that tourism is probably tourists, right? This is a phenomenon unique to China. In many cases, tourists are not only not annoyed by the crowds, but on the contrary, they find it interesting. The attractions are just a foil, and it makes sense because it is lively. The text seems to look at the mountains and does not like the flat, and the swimming is like watching the sea and the crowds, why do you need to find the crowds, who is in front of the hand.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Tang Yi felt that his feet couldn't be lifted, and because the scenic spot really didn't have much to see, it was not the tsunami mountain, but the low level of sand, which greatly reduced Tang Yi's good impression of Yuan Mingyuan, so he decided to leave.
At this time, Yuan Mingyuan's surroundings were still full of people, some of them were just resting here, and they had some gains after all.
I don't know what kind of scene my companions will be on the other side, what impression they will have, of course, they should not have withdrawn yet.
Find another way, and finally have a different taste.
Farewell, Yuanmingyuan, farewell, the prosperity of the past.
