Chapter 382: What I Saw and Heard on Linshan Street

Chapter 382 What I saw and heard on Linshan Street, the owner of the Forgotten Immortal Pavilion turned out to be a young woman who was only about twenty years old. The woman wore a Chinese-style placket jacket with white flowers on a red background. He has a high bun on his head, his face is round, he is tall, and he looks pretty and quiet. When Yuan Xiaosheng entered the door, she was probably ready to close the door, and was cleaning up the messy calligraphy and paintings on the table, and when she saw Yuan Xiaosheng enter the door, she stood up straight and smiled at Yuan Xiaosheng, two cute dimples immediately appeared on her face, and she took two steps forward to Yuan Xiaosheng, standing about a meter away in front of Yuan Xiaosheng, and asked in a sweet voice: "Sir, are you framing calligraphy and paintings, or selling calligraphy and paintings?" ”

Yuan Xiaosheng looked around the store, and saw that the walls were full of all kinds of framed calligraphy and paintings, some dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, some vigorous and powerful, and the pictures were all Chinese paintings, not lifelike, but each was vivid, and then asked: "Do you buy these calligraphy and paintings?" ”

The woman smiled and introduced Yuan Xiaosheng: "The ones on the south wall are all sold, and the others are framed for others." However, if the gentleman wants it, it is not absolutely not for sale, you can watch it first, I can help you contact them. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng stopped in front of a great man's poem, and saw that although the word was written very vigorously, it always made people feel that there was a lack of inner bones, and asked: "How much is this word?" I saw the words "Ruxue" written on the inscription below, and then asked, "Who is Ruxue?" ”

A flush immediately floated over the woman's face, and she lowered her head and said: "This is what I wrote nonsense, I don't dare to negotiate the price, if Mr. can see it, as long as I frame the cost price, five hundred yuan will be." ”

Yuan Xiaosheng didn't have a hobby of collecting these things, that is, asking casually. But 500 yuan for a pair of calligraphy and paintings, really not to talk about the price, since I asked, and it was written by the shopkeeper himself, and people offered such a low price, if not to sell it would seem a little impolite, then let the woman take off the calligraphy and painting, put it on the table, and appreciate it, then let the woman wrap it.

When the woman saw that Yuan Xiaosheng asked for her calligraphy and painting, she immediately showed a smile of excitement on her shy face, wrapped up the calligraphy and painting neatly, and sent it to Yuan Xiaosheng, and asked, "Mr. also understands calligraphy." Can you give me some pointers? ”

For the brush word, Yuan Xiaosheng is really a layman, that is, he knows a fur, so he had to smile and joke to himself: "I really don't dare to give advice, I can only be regarded as a vassal elegance at most." Immediately remembering that this street was about to be demolished, he changed the topic and asked, "I heard that you will be demolished here next year, is there such a thing?" In order not to let the woman see her identity, she covered up and sighed: "It would be a pity if such a good place was demolished!" ”

As soon as the woman heard Yuan Xiaosheng's words, she immediately came to her senses, and said: "This gentleman is a literate person at a glance, and the Tiaoshan County Chronicle says that this street has a history of at least three hundred years since it was built, and it should be in the early years of the Qing Dynasty." The uneducated leaders in the county actually started their minds for the sake of their own political achievements. You must know that such monuments are already rare in our country, and if you demolish one, you will lose one, and the losses caused cannot be measured in money at all. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng watched this road just now and knew that what the woman said was definitely an indisputable fact. If what the woman said is true, then Linshan Street is a building complex in the early Qing Dynasty, and its historical value has completely exceeded the value of the land and the building itself.

The problem of Linshan Street, which has been haunting Yuan Xiaosheng's heart, has gradually become clear. suddenly remembered that Ma Wenjie is an authentic Tiaoshan person, and it is estimated that there are also considerations for the demolition of Linshan Street, but he is just weak and unable to fight against Chen Lidong, so he can only be passive and slack off, probably hoping that Chen Lidong can come to his senses and give up the transformation of the old city of Linshan Street.

At this moment, an old man who looked about seventy years old came out of it. The old man looked very athletic, not tall, with short hair, a goatee, a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and a Chinese-style cotton coat. As soon as she saw the old man come out, the woman immediately ran over squeamishly and called grandpa.

The old man looked at his granddaughter with disgust and reproached: "Xiaoxue, didn't I tell you, don't talk nonsense in front of the guests, why don't you listen." The leaders of the county consider the development of Tiaoshan from the perspective of the overall situation, why is there no culture. ”

The woman was coquettish and argued unconvinced: "If we consider the issue of development from the perspective of the overall situation, should we also consider the historical issues and the value of cultural relics?" If the value of cultural relics has exceeded the economic value, should there be a trade-off? If you can't even tell the difference, it's not that you don't have culture, what is it? ”

The woman was speechless when she refuted the old man, so she could only smile and show the dignity of an elder: "No matter how good you say, no one will listen to your eccentric ideas." You yourself have feelings for Linshan Street, but you can't impose it on someone else's head. After speaking, he didn't plan to argue with his granddaughter anymore, so he patted his granddaughter on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, hurry up and pack your things." ”

After speaking, the old man walked to Yuan Xiaosheng's side, smiled, gave Yuan Xiaosheng a seat, and asked, "This gentleman is not a local, right?" As he spoke, a pair of eyes fell on Yuan Xiaosheng's body, as if he could see through Yuan Xiaosheng's mind at a glance.

Yuan Xiaosheng nodded and told the truth, but he didn't tell his identity clearly: "I am from Hewan County." After speaking, in order to prevent the old man from continuing to ask, he changed the topic and asked, "The old man is long-lived?" ”

The old man stroked his goatee on his chest and said, "The old man is seventy and three this year. As he spoke, he joked to himself: "As the saying goes: Seventy-three, eighty-four, the king of Hades doesn't call himself to go, he is talking about people of this age." ”

Yuan Xiaosheng wanted to explain to the old man, saying that seventy-three eighty-four, the king of Hades did not ask him to go, it was all superstition, it was the feudal society to commemorate Confucius and Mencius, and they died too early, not that we people had to die when they reached seventy-three eighty-four. As soon as the words came to his lips, he immediately realized that a person like the old man should not know this, so he immediately changed his words and said: "The old gentleman has such a tough body, he will definitely live a long life." ”

The old gentleman didn't seem to think so, snorted lightly, and said: "There are too few people in this world who can live a long life, and even this old street can't avoid the day when it dies, not to mention all of us." Then he smiled, glanced at Yuan Xiaosheng again and said, "Look at the temperament between your eyebrows, you are not an ordinary person." If the old man is not mistaken, you must be from the government. ”

At this time, the old man's granddaughter Xiaoxue had also finished packing her things, leaning on the old man's side, listening to the old man and Yuan Xiaosheng talking, as soon as she heard her grandfather's words, the expression on her face immediately became shocked, but she didn't interject.

Yuan Xiaosheng knew that it would be a little rude to hide it any longer, so he smiled indifferently and said: "The old gentleman is really sharp-eyed, I am the new deputy county magistrate of our Tiaoshan, my name is Yuan Xiaosheng, dare to ask the old gentleman's surname?" ”

The old man stretched out his hand and stroked his goatee again, with a leisurely expression, but stood up and said: "The old man didn't know that the county magistrate was here, he was really offended, and I hope to atone for my sins." As he spoke, he hugged Yuan Xiaosheng again, and then said: "The old man's surname is Qi, and his single name is a Xuanzi." He turned around and introduced to Yuan Xiaosheng: "This is my granddaughter Qi Xueyi, who spoke violently just now, and I hope that the former county magistrate will not be like a child like her." ”

Yuan Xiaosheng also hurriedly stood up, supported the old man's hand with both hands, and was about to say a few words modestly, but he felt a dark energy, and pressed his hands over. Yuan Xiaosheng immediately realized that this old Mr. Qi was by no means an ordinary person, this was because he realized that he also had some means, and deliberately used his secret strength to test it, and immediately raised his breath and held the old man's hands in the air.

The old man laughed and said, "I really thought that the former county magistrate had such a method, which really made the old man admire!" Yuan Xiaosheng also said modestly: "At this age, it is not easy for the old gentleman to have such a body." He laughed as he spoke.

After that, Mr. Qi kept asking Yuan Xiaosheng who he was learning from, but Yuan Xiaosheng's mind was not here, and he answered a few words, and then introduced the topic to the demolition work on Linshan Street. To demolish the entire Linshan Street, the damage caused can be said to be irreparable. He smiled and said, "Of course, I think that since your government wants to demolish and relocate, it must have been carefully studied and considered." Reform and development is to get rid of the old and cloth the new. After all, Lao Cai is already an old antique, which can only be said to have a certain value and significance for the study of history, but it is an obstacle to the development of Tiaoshan. What's more, in the current era of every inch of land, Linshan Street occupies almost one-third of the land of Tiaoshan County, which is not conducive to the expansion and development of the county magistrate of Tiaoshan County. The demolition still has to be demolished. It's just that the neighbors have lived here for many years, and it's a bit difficult to leave their homeland, and it's normal to have some emotions. I hope your government will understand. ”

Mr. Qi obviously didn't trust Yuan Xiaosheng, so he was very cautious when he spoke, and he was thinking about almost every sentence, trying not to say anything against the government.

However, from Mr. Qi's tone, Yuan Xiaosheng could also hear that he was opposed to the demolition of Linshan Street, and did not want to see this street, which has a history of more than 300 years, disappear in Tiaoshan County. It is also an attitude of being responsible for history.
