Chapter 235: A New Look for the Old Mansion
Hearing that they were going to the old house to celebrate the "Dragon Boat Festival", the Hong family was not unhappy.
Because those who have been there want to see how the house is repaired, and those who have not been there have long been thinking about seeing the old house.
That is, for fear of disturbing the construction progress and causing chaos somewhere, the big guy has been restrained and did not dare to visit.
Now that we have this opportunity, excitement is inevitable.
Besides, when Wang Yunlin came back, she praised the newly built house again, and everyone's hearts were itching to the point.
But to be honest, probably because Wang Yunlin happily said it so well, no one could really believe Wang Yunlin's words. The Hong family suspected that she was biased towards her third son, and there were too many exaggerations in her words.
First of all, in the case of Hong Lucheng, although he already has a lot of trust in Hong Yanwu, compared with his previous impression, he has greatly changed his opinion of this son. And he also heard from his eldest son Hong Yanzheng that Mr. Shan, who is currently in charge of repairing the house, is a real expert.
However, he knows more about the houses in the "Flower Hall Courtyard", and the details are quite complicated. After all, it has been 20 years since it was wasted, and although the big picture is good, the wonderful parts have to be replaced. And the downside is that there are too few craftsmen who can do this kind of fine work today, and many materials are also rare.
Therefore, in his heart, it is not easy to really restore seventy or eighty percent of the original appearance. How can it be like Wang Yunlin said, the inside and outside are better than back then?
In particular, Wang Yunlin also told him that the old attic had been demolished and a delicately shaped Nanmu attic was rebuilt.
He couldn't believe it even more.
Hong Lucheng is not an uninformed person, doesn't he know how difficult it is to find Nanmu! What is the price?
He naturally thinks that the biggest possibility is that Wang Yunlin is wrong.
Secondly, for Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli, Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanru, in their impressions, they never imagined what Wang Yunlin said, under the shade of flowers and trees, they can climb upstairs to watch the scenery, read books under the verandah, and have all kinds of living facilities. A garden-style courtyard with a kitchen, a dining room, a toilet, a bathroom, and heating should look like.
As for Wang Yunlin's description, the walls of the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom are covered with white and flawless tiles, and the ground is also paved with "mosaics" like chess pieces, which is even more surprising.
Because they only know that the public bathhouse uses those rare things, the advantage is that it is very easy to clean, and it looks almost spotless. But the problem is that the price is also expensive, and no one has used it in ordinary people's homes.
Now that their family is even smoking, stinking and stinking, they use such good materials, isn't that a cow going to the sky?
Finally, for Hong Jun, a villain, Wang Yunlin told him that in a few days, he would go to a place with a lot of rooms, a large open space for sports meetings, and a lot of flowers and fruit trees to celebrate the "Dragon Boat Festival". He was looking forward to it and rejoicing. And there is no doubt about it.
It's just that he can't figure out where he is going, and he doesn't understand what the "Dragon Boat Festival" is. So when he showed up with other peers in the kindergarten, he was ridiculed and hit by everyone.
Some of the children said, "What kind of public unit are you talking about? My dad is in the 'workers' club,' and the open space there is very ......."
There are also children who say, "Your family is probably going to the park together, right? Taoran Pavilion or Zhongshan Park? Who hasn't been there if you're so bluffing?"
Some people even ridiculed, "I haven't heard of the Dragon Boat Festival, I still have a urinal." What kind of thing is that? Made of Jiang rice? There are dates and bean paste in it? The more you listen to it, the more it looks like cutting cakes!"
In the end, everyone unanimously came to the conclusion that Hong Jun was pure nonsense and whimsical!
Hong Jun was bored because of his lack of things.
And in this way, he can't help but be suspicious, can grandma still lie to himself?
It was with this or that psychology that the Hong family came to the old house of the Hong family on the day of the "Dragon Boat Festival".
The first to come, of course, was Hong Lucheng and his wife. They packed up their things early in the morning and came over with food, drink, and a large set of newly bought utensils.
Because when you get here, you'll have to clean up. Wipe and wipe, wash and wash, and see what is missing. You can go out and buy it temporarily.
Hong Lucheng really didn't expect this house to be so wonderful, indeed, it perfectly restored the old style, and it looks like a new house. As usual, it is still plain oil and black paint, which looks simple and elegant.
The most wonderful wall carving "Hundred Sons Frolicking Picture" and the missing part of the hollow flower carving wall have been made up. The window lattice of "Bubu Jin" and the door carving of "plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum" are also newly made, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, which is a few points better than the craftsmen who were looking for it back then.
But these are still nothing compared to the new attic.
The attic has three eaves and two floors, sits in the south and faces north, surrounded by no walls, and is independent in the center of the inner courtyard, which is still connected to the five main houses through the verandah. The entire building is tied to each other by a wooden structure, supported by sixteen stout wooden pillars at the bottom.
The bottom floor is the top of the arch bucket gossip, and the four big pillars in the middle go straight to the top of the pavilion, connecting the entire beam frame. It can be described as an atmospheric structure and exquisite style.
But the most important thing is not this, but the brown wood color is very oily, and it has a golden effect in the sun. And when you get closer, you can smell the smell of wood.
A closer look shows that there is no color painting in the entire attic, except for wood carvings, at most it is only "hot wax".
At this time, Hong Lucheng felt that this building was about golden silk nanmu. This is because the natural color of the wood is the highest decoration, which can never be achieved by any artificial decoration. Nothing but the rustic nature of this wood-covered building.
Can he still sit still? Unlike Wang Yunlin, who has always been in charge of the affairs of the inner house. In the past, he was responsible for dealing with construction factories at home and abroad. How did he not know that the golden silk nanmu of the big material had been extinct since the Qing Dynasty. This is why I can't figure it out even if I want to break my head, where did Hong Yanwu get this kind of wood.
Okay, okay. The old man was completely shocked at this time, and he didn't help his wife after calling. I've spent the morning wandering around here, pondering this attic.
In fact, he had something in his heart, and he didn't dare to tell Wang Yunlin through it. Even eating at noon was a bit distracted. Unfortunately, the door was locked, and he wanted to go in and have a look, but he couldn't.
When Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came back with a leg of mutton and a lot of vegetables in the afternoon, Hong Lucheng, who had been waiting in a hurry, didn't wait for his son to put down his things, so he blocked them in the kitchen and asked about the wood first.
Hong Yanwu didn't hide it, and told him what had happened. Then I went to take out the certificate written by Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping.
And after Hong Lucheng heard this bizarre story, he looked at the written evidence, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.
Hong Lucheng never imagined that this town, which had guarded the east of the capital for hundreds of years, would become the attic of his house by mistake.
Besides, according to Hong Yanwu's words, it is not possible to use this wood, otherwise the "divine wood" of the capital will be completely wasted. This thing makes people wonder how to feel a little "fate should be like this".
But although things are treasures, it's impossible to say whether they are blessed or bad?
Hong Lucheng's opinion is the same as Hong Yanwu's, this "Shenmu" is not something that can be monopolized. Besides, relying on this to say that the town can keep the house safe, that is just a folklore, and it can't be true. If you don't get it right, you will eat the debt in the future, and the trouble will never be eradicated. Can a family like theirs afford it?
So after thinking about it, Hong Lucheng told Hong Yanwu that he should not tell anyone in his family about this matter. It is even more difficult to make a public statement. If someone really asked if they couldn't hide, they said that this was "Zhennan". In this way, the wood is reduced to the level of ordinary nanmu, which can always be mixed up and perfunctory.
Hong Yanwu nodded, but then took his father to the attic, and after opening the door and locking it in, Hong Lucheng found a large log pier with a diameter of more than two meters in the middle of the first floor. It was big enough to be a dining table that could seat sixteen people.
At this time, Hong Yanwu said again.
"Dad, look! This is the last log of the 'Divine Tree', and there was another one left. It's a pity that Wang Hanping, an old carpenter, opened the material, and hit the 'floor cover' and a 'shelf bed' in the house. It is not that the bed is warm to sleep in winter, so as to reward me. If I hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid he would have made furniture for this. So when you move in and sleep on the bed of golden silk nanmu, don't ask me where I came from, my mother wants to ask, and I have to rely on you to cover up, I will inform you first......"
Hong Lucheng was speechless for a long time, looked at the only remaining log in front of him, and finally shook his head helplessly.
Hey, this son really doesn't know what happened to him, how can all evil things happen to him? No, today made his heart beat again!
Of course, it can't be said that he has done bad things again. This is a matter of accumulating merit, and if you don't do this, the treasure of the capital will be ruined.
In addition, who has such a great blessing to have a building built by 'Shenmu' and sleep on a frame bed of golden silk nanmu?
But it's hard to say things in the world, sometimes things are reversed because of rumors, and good people may not be rewarded!
And the gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty. It is precisely because these objects are so precious that he is so uneasy that he is drumming in his heart!
Fortunately, his son was reasonable, so he didn't plan to take this thing for himself, but just acted as an expedient measure. If you really want the country to ask in the future, it's a big deal to donate to the country.
In fact, compared with the "Shenmu" town house, family peace is the greatest blessing!
And completely different from Hong Lucheng, who was worried, Hong Yanru got out of school at half past three in the afternoon and went directly to the "Wanshou West Palace" kindergarten opposite the "140 Middle School" to pick up Hong Jun.
It was a joy when they came here together.
