Chapter 70: Xiangyu
Ring the doorbell, and soon there was a movement to open the door. The door opened, and Su Li saw clearly that it was Peng Yu, the youngest son who stayed in the ancestral house to wait for Elder Peng. Most of the Chinese care about the feeling of home, the older generation is even more, the existence of the old house, in the eyes of Peng Lao, is the root of the Peng family, and people without roots are meaningless duckweed, scattered with the waves. Therefore, after Peng Lao became famous, the first thing he did was not to start a family, but to prepare funds to buy the ancestral house.
It is also because of this that Peng Lao got married late, and only after the year of establishment did he get married to his wife, fortunately, the heirs of the two were quite smooth, and they had an eldest son in the second year after marriage. The eldest son is in politics, and now he is the deputy mayor of Chang City, a southern province of Xijiang Province, and can be described as a promising person of the Young Zhuang faction. The youngest son inherited his mantle and followed him to learn the art of carving.
This is a young man who is only two or three years older than Brother Chen, but he has grown a whole generation of them, he walked up, with a gentle smile on his face, and his body seemed to be surrounded by the breath of ice mixed with warmth, strange contradictions but extremely harmonious, just like jade has soft and hard, warm and moist and ice cream, this person has three flavors, maybe he is not as good as Brother Chen, Luan Leyan, and the third brother of the Yan family in terms of facial features, they have their own style and brilliance, but this temperament does add twelve points to his seemingly bland demeanor, that is, those jade jade, at first glance, there is no diamond dazzling, but the more you look at it, the more it has rhyme.
Gentle and breathing, warm and faintly alienated, this is a man with a clear bottom line, but he can't play from afar. At the right meeting distance, I saw him bow his head slightly, but Su Zhiyuan helped hold a pot of cold orchid in his hand, stretched out his left hand and led: "Mr. Su, Ms. Lin, Miss Su Li, you are here, please come in, my father is already waiting in the living room!" ”
The ancestral house of the Peng family is a typical old-fashioned building, bypassing the coins that enter the door, the grass and green trees inside, the rockery and flowing water, the winding path is secluded, quite a bit of Jiangnan landscape style, but the rockery is craggy, the courtyard is comfortable and open, the building eaves are high peck, the intrigue, quite imposing, and it is the style of the north, and the combination of the north and south styles is just right to dissolve this unique and unbridled old house of the Peng family.
It is said that the old house of the Peng family was renovated by Peng Lao according to the ancestral house of the Peng family before the decline, and along the road to enjoy the scenery of this natural ancient building, Su Li thought to himself, the design of the ancestral house of the Peng family, must have come from everyone's hands, from small to large, the leopard can be seen in the tube, from the handwriting of this ancestral house, the Peng family must be the most prosperous family in this area, nothing more than Peng Lao, who has been committed to restoring the glory of the Peng family, pursuing the mark of the ancestors, this kind of ancient family people, Carefully cultivated since childhood, the pride of the family and the irreplaceable sense of mission have long been engraved in their bones.
Between the change of minds, the Su family has followed the guidance of Peng Yu and entered the first living room, which has always been the place where the Peng family receives people, from the long past to the present, Peng Lao has always maintained the traditional arrangement. At this moment, he was sitting above the living room waiting for the arrival of the guests, and saw the young son leading the guests to wear flowers and willows, especially when he saw the flower pot in the hands of the young son and Su Zhiyuan, he couldn't help but light up his eyes, put down the tea cup, and got up to meet the first few steps.
Yes, Su Li's family followed Peng Yu's leadership to step on the steps of the antique parlor money, and was raising their feet to step into the living room, when they saw an old man wearing a moon-white Tai Chi suit, with a healthy body, frosty hair, but a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and a childish face.
"Old Peng, good morning, you've been waiting for a long time!" Su Zhiyuan bowed down to say hello, not to mention that they were here to trouble the old man, even because of the old man's age and reputation, he was worthy of their respect.
"Hello Peng."
"Hello Grandpa Peng!" Lin Juan and Su Li followed closely and greeted her.
"Okay, good, no need to be polite, no need to be polite! Xiao Su, Xiao Lin, and Miss Ali, come in, come in! Peng Lao greeted the three members of the Su family kindly and warmly, led them first, and entered the living room. The group sat down, and Peng Yu beckoned the nanny at home to bring tea. Without delaying the time to greet the guests, Peng Lao devoted his attention to the two pots of cold orchids held by Su Zhiyuan.
"Old Peng, I heard that Old Luan said that you like orchids as much as he does, and these two pots of cold orchids are cultivated at home, please appreciate them!" Following Peng Yu's movements, Su Zhiyuan put the flower pot on the round table with a six-legged flower grape pattern carved by the Huanghuali girdle in the center of the living room. The decoration of Peng's hometown is similar to Xu's hometown, and it is indeed more retro than Xu's hometown.
"The fragrance is clear, the color is clear, the posture is clear, the rhyme is clear, and the best Hanlan is nothing more than that. It's better to hear than to see, I often hear Lao Luan and Xu Lao mention Xiaolin's excellent orchid raising skills, I don't know if it's okay, but now I see it with my own eyes, it's really worthy of the name! "Looking at the narrow and long green leaves, free and unrestrained stretching, revealing the natural beauty of unadorned, elegant jade flowers dotted among them, faint and misty, like a snowy night strolling like a clear fragrance if near and far, is so light and elegant, straight into people's hearts, almost forgetful.
"Good land, good craftsmanship!" It seems to be just a rare variety of cold orchid, not a precious thing, but in the eyes of people who love orchids and know how to watch orchids, it is the flowers, leaves, roots and fragrance, all of which are beautiful, and there are excellent scenery everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the best.
"This gift is really sent to the old man's heart, and I really can't refuse the old man!" Take this guy, the ability is to look at the face of his old friend, but now, he has to be meticulous and meticulous! "It seems that Lao Luan said that you want to make jade, the old man has to think about it, what about the materials, bring it to me! You are Lao Luan's juniors, that is, my juniors, and the old man doesn't mess with you about those vain heads. Tell me what you want to do in a moment, and I'll give you a reference! ”
"Grandpa Peng, here!" Su Li got up, opened the box containing those jade jades, took two steps forward, and placed his hands in front of Xu Lao. Before jade carving, you must first see jade, this basic regulation, Su Li still knows.
