Chapter 102: The Strange Old Man
She was intercepted by an old man dressed in brown shorts, wearing straw sandals, with white hair and red face, dressed as a peasant.
This old man, when she arrived in the west of the city today, she deliberately went to the inn to find Pei Mingyuan, and told him that after she was going to work at Qin's house, when she was about to get in the car, she rushed over to ask her to comment on the bonsai he served.
Pei Yan couldn't cry or laugh. She really doesn't understand bonsai, but the old man doesn't follow it, saying that the scenery of the Song family is all played by her, and she says that it is a lie if she doesn't understand. Hold her back and don't let her go. Pei Yan couldn't, so she had to use the procrastination trick, saying that she had an urgent matter at the moment, and she would talk about it when she had a gap when she turned around.
But who would have thought that as soon as he entered the flower market, he saw the old man coming out of the bonsai shop on the side of the road with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he shook his head and blew his beard and stared, as if he had just seen something that was not a bonsai that was carefully served, but something that could not be put on the table.
also blamed Pei Yan for his own good deeds, because he saw that his appearance was funny, so he looked at it twice. It didn't matter, but as soon as the old man looked up, he happened to take a look at her.
The old man ran to him in three or two steps and complained, "Girl, you coax me, you said you were in a hurry, but you came here to hang out!" ”
Pei Yan hurriedly smiled, "I didn't coax you." I'm going to buy flower fertilizer. ”
The old man didn't follow, and grabbed the reins tightly, with a frame posture that should not be accepted and not allowed to go, "No, if you answer me, you shouldn't break your promise." Coax the old man, but the sky will thunder! ”
Pei Yan has a black line, you just thunder in the sky!
When he was about to explain to him, the old man shook his head like a rattle, like an unsatisfied child.
The eleven or twelve-year-old boy behind him looked indifferent, as if he had long been used to it.
Pei Yan reluctantly looked at Zhang Dong and asked him, "Old man." So where is your home? ”
"It's not far, it's in Wutong Lane in the west of the city!" The old man pointed to the west with his backhand, pulled the reins back, and pulled back.
Pei Yan of Wutong Lane knows. It is named because the alley is full of sycamores. It's not far from the West City Gate.
She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to your house when we finish our work first and go back?" ”
The old man reluctantly compromised.
I'm afraid they'll run away. Never leave the car and follow the car.
Pei Yan was also embarrassed to do the car by herself. But he followed behind and got out of the car.
The old man nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "You girl is good." knows how to respect the elderly, not like the one in my family. ”
The one in his family is naturally his junior.
Pei Yan couldn't answer this, so she smiled. There was no sound.
The flower market in the summer is very depressed. There is no shelter on both sides, and the sun makes people's heads dizzy.
Sit in the car. There was also some cool breeze. But walking on foot, she didn't take a few steps, and she was sweating.
When he saw a teahouse beside the road, he asked the old man to sit down and rest. Let Zhang Dong go to buy fertilizer alone.
Spend a few pennies to buy a bowl of tea for each of the four people. From the old woman who sells tea, I took a bowl first. Send it to the old man.
The old man looked at the tea, and then at the busy Pei Yan. Suddenly he leaned his head towards her. smiled enthusiastically and said, "Girl, is this bowl of tea good as apprentice tea?" ”
The little boy who was about to pick up the tea bowl to eat tea couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and he hurriedly covered it with the tea bowl.
Pei Yan saw that he seemed to be joking, but he was actually serious. I was slightly stunned. If you want to say that this old man is really weird, how can it be that he just arrived at Liu's inn, and he didn't talk to Pei Mingyuan for more than a quarter of an hour over there, and he happened to run into him.
If it was said that he ran into it by chance, it was impossible for him to run over and say that he would taste his bonsai as soon as he saw him. Could it be that he is blocking himself over there?
Pei Yan thought about it, but felt that it was unlikely.
The scenery she created for the Song family is just a little fresh. When it comes to elegance and exquisiteness, it is still far from a serious gardener.
Although Western horticulture and classical horticulture are two major schools of thought in the time and space she is familiar with. But when she really looked deeper, Pei Yan still felt that what her ancestors left behind was more charming.
Therefore, her novel scene, which makes people look at it, should only light up in the eyes, and it shouldn't make people think about it so crazy, right?
Then he looked at the old man with a smile and said, "You have to tell me first, what will you do?" You get a bonsai and pester me to taste it. It shows that your old man's ability is not enough. If I want this, won't I lose my apprenticeship? ”
The old man suddenly blew his beard and glared at his eyes, and his mouth was about to speak. The words came to his lips, but suddenly stopped again. He laughed and pointed at Pei Yan and said, "Good girl, I almost let you go around." I won't tell you yet, but when you see the scenery I have built, it will not be too late to talk about it. ”
Anyway, Zhang Dong hasn't come back yet, and he is idle.
Pei Yan said, "If you want to accept apprentices, and you still refuse to show your hole cards, a fool will take the bait." ”
The old man's laughter stopped abruptly, and he seemed to think seriously about her words. When he was about to speak, he shook his head again and again, "No, no, I have to see if you have no real ability before I sue you." ”
"Oh~~~~" Pei Yan stretched her voice and said, "It turns out that you didn't let me taste your bonsai, but wanted to test me." ”
The old man's face stiffened again, and he stared at the boy with wide eyes, as if to confirm whether he had let others see through.
The little boy couldn't stand it and buried his head deeply.
Pei Yan snorted and laughed. Then she said, "Old man, let me tell you the truth, I really don't know how to make landscapes, bonsai is even more common, and I don't like the kind of old people, or bonsai that can only be appreciated by scholars." I just like to tinker with interesting little things. Also, I am working in the Qin family now, and I don't have time to tinker with that. If you want to take in apprentices, you need to find someone else! ”
The old man snorted disapprovingly, "What's so good about the flowers and plants?" Frivolous, vulgar and coquettish! ”
It seems that I don't want to see flowers and plants.
Pei Yan said, "There are thousands of people in this world, some people love bamboo, some people love stones, some people love flowers and plants, and there are old people like you, who love bonsai, you can't generalize." You can't say that what you think is good must be considered good by others. And what others like, because you don't like it, it's worthless. ”
The old man called her to speak, and he was about to speak with a glare. Zhang Dong had come back in a hurry.
He was terrible to take people into the city and lose them, and then he would not have time to cry.
When the old man saw him, he stood up with a sigh of applause, waved his big hand, and walked back and forth.
Pei Yan, who took a step back and stood up, noticed that the old man didn't eat the coarse tea on the side of the road at all, and even the little boy only touched his lips.
What the hell is this old man going to do, and what kind of person is he?
With the doubts in his heart, he got into the car and followed the old man out of the flower market. On the edge of the flower market, there is a red paint sedan car, and the workmanship is very exquisite. There was a middle-aged man sitting in front of the car, who was there with his eyes closed and recuperating, and when he heard the old man shouting to Pei Yan and the others, he opened his eyes.
After looking at a few people, he turned the head of the car helplessly and ran to the west of the city.
Because this middle-aged man who drove the carriage did not look like a coachman at all, yes, and the carriage looked like it was used by a rich family. Pei Yan also thought that this old man was an old lady who was obsessed with this, because she was bored all day long, so when she heard a novel scene, she was willing to take the time to ask her for advice. -- Anyway, such an old lady doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and she doesn't have to take care of her children, so she has a lot of time.
Unexpectedly, the carriage finally stopped in front of a small black door that looked very ordinary.
The old man quickly got out of the car and beckoned to Pei Yan and the others, "Girl, come in, come in!" ”
Pei Yan smiled apologetically at Zhang Dong, "I might as well not come with me today." Come along, but delay your business. ”
Zhang Dong smiled nonchalantly, but in fact he was also curious about what this old man was going to do.
parked the car in the alley and followed the Pei Yan sisters in.
Pei Yan originally told the old man to be entangled, so she came over with him to take a look, and said a few random words and withdrew.
Unexpectedly, I looked up when I entered the inner courtyard. I saw the objects on the big case in front of the bamboo forest. She was stunned!
Running over in three or two steps, yes, it is a necessary construction tool for real estate projects in the previous life: sand table!
However, at that time, the sand table was made by machine, and this sand table was made by hand.
It's rare to be so exquisitely made!
What's even more surprising is that the sand table is an object that someone has thought of right now!
There really is no shortage of smart people anywhere!
Pei Yan sighed and looked down. When she saw the winding river lying in the south of the sand table, she suddenly realized that this was the sand table of Qingzhou Mansion New Town!
Could it be that this old man is also engaged in a profession related to construction classes?
What kind of team? Why haven't you heard of it?
And this new city, should it be planned and built in a unified manner?
From her modern point of view, it is naturally better to unify the planning, and if everyone does not have to cover it indiscriminately, it will not be beautiful, and it will also affect the traffic. But do people nowadays have such a concept? Pei Yan, who only knows how to raise flowers and grow grass, and doesn't pay much attention to the people next to her, said that if this is the case, it will really surprise her.
Also, if the new city is planned in a unified manner, is this the plan, using the operation methods of the real estate developers in the previous life, to build the entire new city, and then sell it for takeaway?
If that's the case, then there's really nothing to do with your own construction class!
However, how much money does it take to build such a new city?
Thinking of this, Pei Yan suddenly felt that she was thinking too much.
But what is the intention of the people who made this sand table?
Looking up and looking around, he was looking for someone to ask, and when he met the child's gaze, he pointed to the back of the bamboo forest. It's always the old man who comes behind.
When Pei Yan raised her feet to leave, she suddenly remembered something again, and was busy taking a closer look.
She was so surprised that she forgot the most important thing.
If the new city is planned in a unified manner, where is the Song family's shop? Don't just tell someone to plan on the road, that's going to be troublesome. I don't know this time and space, and if you are forced to demolish it, you won't be compensated.
While thinking, she looked at the houses and streets in the small scene, one by one. Calculated in his heart, the distance between the Song family's shop and the West City Gate. I was in a state of mind for a while.
Shen Cheng stepped into the courtyard gate, saw a few strangers standing in the courtyard from the hall, was slightly stunned, and retreated again, once again confirming that he had not gone to the wrong door, and then slowly entered the hall with a little doubt.
