Section 24 Yanjing Hutong

There's a lot to do next.

For example, recruiting convoy members, building docks, garbage disposal sites, water and power supply systems on the island, widening, extending, and laying cement on existing roads, etc.

Chen Rui will definitely not be able to do these things alone.

Therefore, Chen Rui plans to leave these things to professional people to do.

First of all, Chen Rui separates these things.

Water supply and power supply systems, garbage disposal sites, roads, docks, etc.

Next, ask a professional appraisal firm to assess how much these engineering systems will cost and how long it will take to complete them.

Then, the appraisal company gives the project price, and the completion time is subcontracted to the construction company of the relevant party, and the construction contract is drafted.

Finally, please ask the company that specializes in engineering acceptance for acceptance.

Unqualified acceptance, rework, qualified acceptance, give money.

It's as simple as that.

Professional things are left to professional people to do.

As for the residence on the island, Chen Rui plans to build it in the style of a Jiangnan garden.

Westerners have a flamboyant personality and like magnificent castles and manors, while Orientals have an introverted personality and like to hide quiet gardens.

Chen Rui likes Jiangnan gardens.

Chen Rui plans to go to China in person to invite a Jiangnan garden designer to participate in the design and construction of the garden.

Because Chen Rui believes that only Chinese garden design masters and craftsmen can build the essence of China's classical Jiangnan gardens and national forest culture.

After the arrangement is made.

Chen Rui plans to go to Yanjing, China.

The plane took off from New York, USA, and flew to Yanjing, China.

Chen Rui sat in the first-class cabin, closing his eyes and recuperating.

At this time, Chen Rui felt that someone walked by and sat on the seat next to him.

There was a faint smell from the nose.

Chen Rui opened his eyes.

The woman is very beautiful, her delicate face is painted with light makeup, and her hair is simply clamped with crystal hairpins, which looks very playful and cute.

She was dressed in a light blue skirt with a white cut-out lace and silk blouse, and she wore a pair of crystal-colored sandals on her feet.

"You are Yang Lejia." Chen Rui said to the woman.

The reason why Chen Rui knows Yang Lejia is because Chen Rui likes to watch a funny TV series, which has been broadcast to the fourth season, is very popular, and has a very large audience, especially young people.

Even Chen Rui rarely watches TV, but he likes to watch this TV series very much, and has watched it several times on the Internet.

Every time I watch it, it can make Chen Rui laugh.

Therefore, Chen Rui also has a deep impression of several leading actors in the play.

Yang Lejia's role as a young and lively girl in the play impressed Chen Rui deeply.

I didn't expect to see Yang Lejia on the plane.

"You are,I seem to have seen you on the Internet, by the way, I know, you are Chen Rui." Yang Lejia was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized.

"You know me."

Yang Lejia said with a smile, "How can you not know, in the first half of this year, you were a topic of conversation, a shipwreck treasure, and the owner of more than 78.12 square kilometers, I should call you the owner of Chen Da or the owner of Chen Dadao." ”

"Call me Chen Rui, I like the young and lively Chen Yujie you played in "Love is Coming", I have been abroad for most of the year, I haven't paid attention to you for a long time, have you been filming recently?" Chen Rui said to Yang Lejia.

"Yes, I just took over a costume drama and played a princess." Yang Lejia said

Next, the two chatted and laughed, until they got off the plane, and the two exchanged mobile phone numbers-

Get into a taxi.

"Master, Curtain Library Hutong."

The garden designer Chen Rui is looking for lives in Lianziku Hutong and is a retired professor at Yenching University.

Along the way, the taxi driver was very eloquent.

I told Chen Rui, who came to Yanjing for the first time, about the most commendable hutong culture in Yanjing.

Hutong, these two words are originally the transliteration of Mongolian and ancient languages, which have been inherited from the Yuan Dynasty in 1267 and have a history of more than 700 years.

The earliest recorded source of the Hutong is that in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a miscellaneous drama called "Master Guan Goes to the Meeting with a Single Knife", in this play, 'Master Guan raised a big knife, shouted, and killed a bloody alley. ’

While driving through the streets and alleys of Yanjing, the driver said to Chen Rui, "If you first arrive in Yanjing and see that the alleys of Yanjing are all gray walls and gray tiles, you may be a little disappointed and not worthy of the name." Speaking of this, the voice paused, sold a pass, and then continued, "If you think so, then you are wrong, the most important thing in visiting the Hutong is not to see the scenery of the Hutong, but to listen to its story."

If you have time, as long as you are willing to put in a little effort, string up a few alleys, and then chat with the old residents there for a while, you will find that each alley has a story, its own story, and a legendary experience, and there are many interesting anecdotes in it. ”

"For example, the curtain library alley you are going to has a very famous allusion.

During the period of the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, she killed Su Shun and other 8 ministers to take over the government on the grounds that Emperor Tongzhi was too young to handle the government, but after all, it was still against common sense for women to discuss politics at that time, and Cixi ingeniously arranged a curtain to listen to the government.

These bamboo curtains are made of craftsmen who select the best bamboo from the south as raw materials and weave them through more than a dozen processes. But no matter how fine the bamboo curtain is, there are times when it is worn and damaged, and it is inevitable to replace the old with the new.

Because the old curtain that was replaced was used by the royal family, it was impossible to sell it to the common people, so it could only be stored in a place, so there was a curtain library, and the alley where the curtain library was located became a curtain library alley. ”

Along the way, I listened to the driver master talk about the allusions to various alleys in Yanjing, which was quite interesting.

The taxi stops at an intersection.

"It's here."

"How much, master."

"122 bucks."

Chen Rui took out 200 yuan and handed it to the driver master and said, "This is 200 yuan, don't look for it, listen to you talk about Yanjing's Hutong today, it's very interesting and beneficial, and you can take your taxi if you have the opportunity, and then listen to the story from you." ”

"Okay."

Come to the address given by Professor Hu.

This is a typical Yanjing courtyard house.

It is surrounded on four sides by the main house, the inverted seat, the east wing and the west wing, forming a mouth glyph with a courtyard inside.

Chen Rui walked over and knocked on the door.

Soon, a middle-aged woman opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Is Elder Yang at home? I was introduced by Professor Hu, and I have something to do with Mr. Yang. Chen Rui said.

"Here, come in."

Chen Rui followed the middle-aged woman into the courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard, there is a hole in it.

The courtyard is spacious, the courtyard is planted with flowers and stones, planted begonia trees, pomegranate bonsai, raised goldfish in large tanks, and stacked stones to create landscaping.

"Professor Yang, hello, my name is Chen Rui."

"You were introduced by Xiaohu, so you don't have to be too polite, do you have anything to do with me?" Yang Lao was in good spirits, and was using a pair of scissors to prune the branches and leaves of a pot of camellia in the courtyard.
