Chapter 710: Quality
PS: Unmodified.
Legend has it that Baihua Village used to be a village blessed by the gods, and many rules that were different from the outside world have been passed down from generation to generation in the village, such as when a family builds a new house, both men and women in the village will add bricks and tiles, even if it is a brick, it represents blessing and hope for a better future.
As the magistrate of Baili Town, Gentle His Father naturally praised such a custom, as for Xiaohe to follow to see the excitement, it was purely because he happened to meet Gentle His father to go out, and by the way, he took her, Hanqiao and Shen Zhong with him.
"I see, the world is really big, I have seen a lot today!" An Lan sighed in surprise.
"Miss An doesn't have to be presumptuous, I heard Rou'er say that you are only eight years old, and you must know some anecdotes that we don't know." Wen Murong smiled, a shadow of Mrs. Wen appeared between her eyebrows, An Lan happened to see his smile, and said in her heart: "It is worthy of mother and son, even the smile is exactly the same." ”
"Brother, it doesn't seem very appropriate to put yourself here!" Gently reminded Wen Murong Dao.
Why is my brother a little abnormal today! Like, it seems that he is particularly gentle with his eldest sister? Won't it be? Thinking of this, Wen Wen's face suddenly turned pale.
No, my brother has already begun to accept the family affairs arranged by his mother, although he is still reluctant, but it is much better than before, I hope I think too much.
Yes, I must have thought too much, the eldest sister has already married a wife, and with the character of the eldest brother, I will give up no matter how I like it, alas! If you care about yourself, you will be chaotic.
Gentle figured it out for a while. The tension was swept away, and she quietly walked between An Lan and Wen Murong, interjecting a few words from time to time. Don't let the two make eye contact. Of course, An Lan didn't know anything about the thoughts of the Wen family brothers and sisters, and even if she was aware of it, she laughed it off, after all, she was a gentle sister-in-law, and her identity was here, and she wouldn't look down in the future. Even if you have any ideas, you can only bury them in the bottom of your heart.
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, don't be surprised." Wen Murong scratched his head in embarrassment. He looked a little overwhelmed.
"Okay, brother, let's go to Baihua Village quickly! Otherwise, my father will come home later. "Gently and affectionately said to his brother.
"Good!" Wen Murong looked at Gentle dotingly, and he had no power to resist his sister's coquettishness.
A few people talked and laughed and went to Baihua Village. An Lan found that as long as Wen Murong was a little closer to her. Gentleness will skillfully block between herself and Wen Murong, once or twice can be regarded as a coincidence, if it is too frequent, it is deliberate.
An Lan saw that the gentle girl's style was generous, and she didn't have any petty family spirit, she was very satisfied in her heart, An Feng's stupid boy was also a blessed person to marry such a gentle and considerate woman.
Such a good girl marrying him, really. What a bargain for that silly boy......
"Miss An, there is Baihua Village in front. We're almost there. Wen Murong's eyes quickly swept over An Lan, looking very nervous.
Finally, I saw her again, God treats me well!
"Oh, but from the outside, this Baihua Village looks no different from ordinary villages! How could there be such strange rumors! An Lan frowned and looked at Wen Murong with some puzzlement.
"Eldest sister, don't you know, the ancestor of this Baihua Village is rich and rivals the country! Therefore, no one cares if there are one or two strange customs, Rao is now, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and almost every household in their village now has a big tiled house! Some people's lives are better than ours! Gently turned his head to look at An Lan and said with a light smile.
"Rich enough to rival the country? Not so exaggerated! An Lan exclaimed.
"Eldest sister, the people of Baili Town know it." Gentle looked at An Lan very hurtfully.
"Gentle, I didn't doubt what you said, I was just surprised!" An Lan explained with a red face.
"Miss An, Rou'er won't care, let's go!" Wen Murong spoke softly, and there was a trace of tenderness and sweetness in his eyes that could not be hidden.
frowned gently, and said in her heart: "I hope my brother doesn't overstep the courtesy!" Otherwise, our family will ......."
An Lan walked into Baili Village and found the special features of this village, first of all, not to mention the hundreds of years old tree at the entrance of the village, just said that the simple and atmospheric archway standing at the entrance of the village, the archway glowed with a soft halo under the sun, which made people can't help but marvel.
"Young Master Wen, is this really a small village?" Rao is accustomed to seeing big scenes An Lan, but also shocked by this exquisite archway.
Isn't this torii made of stone on the outside and gold on the inside?
"It's not wrong to say it's a village, but Baihua Village is slightly more prosperous than other ordinary towns." Wen Murong stretched his brows, his eyes were smiling, he saw An Lan looking at the majestic archway intently, he knew in his heart, it must be the first time Miss An saw this merit archway, shocked and abnormal, thinking that he was so surprised at the beginning, pulling his father and mother to ask non-stop, thinking that Miss An was only slightly surprised, and it was much better than back then.
"This merit tablet is four pillars and three rooms, the whole stone is carved, it is said that it is the best stone used in the year, the top archway is the imitation wood configuration of the bucket arch bearing the eaves, the carving is finely carved, the momentum is extraordinary." Wen Murong raised the corners of her eyes, and when she saw her brother so proud, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"I didn't expect this archway to have such an allusion?" An Lan's eyes lit up, and she said in her heart: "Although Guiyuan Tianju no longer belongs to herself, this Baihua Village is a natural folk village!" Moreover, the people here are simple and simple, and it is a natural leisure mountain villa! Baihua Village? Kind of interesting! ”
"That's natural, Miss An, since you're so interested in this archway, may I tell me more?" Wen Murong had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, and she bit her lip stubbornly and didn't say a word.
"I want to hear about it." An Lan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said in her heart: "What a good tour guide!" It's a pity that he was born in the house of the eunuch, otherwise he would have to recruit him under his command! ”
Both sides of the archway are horizontally engraved with "Dragon Chapter Three Tin" four flying white gilt characters, and the lower banner is vertically engraved with the life deeds of the ancestors of Baihua Village and the contribution to the imperial court, but the small characters are old, and many handwriting has been somewhat worn. Wen Murong Shui paused here, he glanced at An Lan quickly, and continued,
"The name of the ancestors of Baihua Village on this memorial arch is worn out particularly strictly for some reason, sometimes we suspect that it is artificially good, but the villagers of Baihua Village never mention the name of their ancestors, therefore, we can not know the name of this predecessor, but just looking at this memorial arch is a high ornamental value." Wen Murong thought a little frustratedly after speaking: "Why don't you know how to check the county records, so that you can at least understand the names of other people's ancestors!" I hope Miss Ann won't ask ......"
"Oh, I see! Thank you, Mr. Wen, for helping me out. After An Lan finished speaking, she blessed Wen Murong, and then walked into Baihua Village with an expressionless gentleness.
"Miss An, you're welcome." Wen Murong waved his hand again and again, looking at An Lan with some nervousness.
Walking into Baihua Village is another scene, the village is full of people, everyone has a happy smile on their faces, An Lan took a step back, then looked back at the archway at the height, and then turned around, looking at the villagers of Baihua Village intently.
"Eldest sister, don't be surprised, Baihua Village has always been so prosperous." Said softly to An Lan.
"Oh, today I just learned what a frog at the bottom of a well is!" An Lan smiled self-deprecatingly, with a wry smile on her face.
"Eldest sister, you don't have to feel sorry for yourself like this, Zijin wrote to say that you are very capable! Give me the opportunity to learn more from you! At the mention of An Feng, the expression on Wen Wen's face softened, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously upturned, Wen Murong saw the appearance of his sister, smiled slightly, and did not interject.
"Don't listen to that kid, where does the eldest sister have the ability?" An Lan scolded with a smile.
An Lan and Wen Wen talked and laughed and went deep into the village, at the corner of the village, a few ox carts were quietly parked aside, and a few middle-aged men were gossiping under the tree, one of the middle-aged men saw An Lan and a few people, and the younger man shouted enthusiastically: "A few distinguished guests, do you need to take an ox cart?" Seeing that you are a little kind, I will make you cheaper today. In an instant, the man who shouted ran in front of An Lan and the others.
Seeing this, An Lan pulled Wen Rou sideways and flashed to the side, letting Wen Murong call the shots, An Lan's unintentional move flattered Wen Murong, he glanced at An Lan, and then said to the middle-aged man arrogantly,
"Go to the Qian family in the village."
"Howler! Come with me, a few of you. The middle-aged man saluted An Lan with a fist, and then took the lead towards the ox cart.
"Gentle, their ancestor's surname is Qian?" An Lan asked softly.
"Eldest sister, how could it be! Although there is only one ancestor in Baihua Village, they have not forbidden their clansmen to marry people from outside! So, there is not only one surname in this village. After saying it gently, she glanced at An Lan with disgust, and her expression made An Lan blush.
An Lan thought embarrassedly in her heart: "Why has my brain become more and more difficult recently, I can't think of such a simple thing, it's really stupid!" ”
The middle-aged man seemed to vaguely hear what An Lan and Wen Rou were talking about, he turned back to An Lan and nodded, his actions made An Lan inexplicable, which made her feel like she had entered a den of thieves!
"A few of you came from far and wide to help add some bricks! The Qian family has already prepared delicious food and wine for the guests who come from afar to enjoy. The middle-aged man looked respectful An Lan and a few people got into the car, and when a few people climbed into the ox cart, the middle-aged man also jumped on the wheel, shouted and drove towards Qian's house.
