Chapter 141: The Man in the Painting
I don't know if Wen Muyan's words worked, the village chief's attitude towards Wen Muyan was simply not too respectful.
Wen Muyan didn't say much, but every sentence was on the point.
Indeed, for Y Province, although a beautiful mountain village is a village with archaeological value, don't forget that there are many such villages in Y Province!
Liangshan Village is not the only one!
Therefore, the village chief of Liangshan Village deeply understood a truth.
Rich and reasonable!
Who calls people rich?
Wen Muyan is not bad at all, he just has wealth and status that others can't achieve in their lives.
He is qualified to despise everything.
And he also has the ability to heal the consequences of contempt.
The village chief of Liangshan Village had nothing to say.
So at the dinner table, the village chief became more and more cautious and respectful to Wen Muyan.
Whether it is Wen Muyan or Gu Jingcheng, they are all existences that cannot be offended.
These two people, casually stretching out their fingers, can make Liangshan Village irreversible.
The reason why the former Zhong family was able to keep Liangshan Village was because the Qing court entered the customs at that time and urgently needed to integrate Han culture and the southern people.
At that time, the Zhong family almost represented the southern civilization, so the Qing court had to ask the Zhong family for help.
It is also because of this layer of relationship that the Zhong family can protect Liangshan Village.
And when the Japanese invaded, although the little devils were cruel, they also understood the cultural value.
The ancient books in the Zhong family's collection, as long as the Zhong family doesn't say where they are, they may not be able to find them even if they dig through the earth.
Moreover, the little devil who invaded and occupied Y Province is also a person who understands cultural inheritance, so he chose to acquiesce to the Zhong family's behavior of protecting Liangshan Village.
After all, for little devils, a small village is far less important than a real cultural inheritance.
Later, when it experienced a domestic storm, Liangshan Village escaped by luck because of its remote location.
After so many years, the villagers of Liangshan Village have gradually become a little empty-eyed.
Therefore, at the beginning, the village chief would say such things to Wen Muyan so proudly.
Who is Wen Muyan?
Is he a threatened person?
Huh.
For the sake of Yan Qiluo and the Zhong family, he didn't raze Liangshan Village to the ground, which was already to save face.
If it weren't for Yan Qiluo's liking for the architecture of Liangshan Village, he would definitely not have kept this existence that dared to provoke.
Yan Qiluo had just sat down, and the newly appointed assistant who replaced Xiao Wang behind him immediately held a disinfectant towel to wipe Yan Qiluo's hands.
Yan Qiluo wiped his fingers slowly, and the bracelet on the cuffs shook slightly, which made the wrist delicate and delicate.
Wen Muyan saw that the village chief's gaze fell on Yan Qiluo's wrist, and his heart suddenly felt unhappy.
However, the village chief's next sentence made everyone present slightly stunned.
"This bracelet is really for Miss Zhong." The village chief said this thoughtlessly.
Yan Qiluo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "My surname is Yan and not Zhong." ”
The village chief did not pick up the topic and continued: "This bracelet was given to the Zhong family by the village chief of Liangshan Village back then, no matter how long it has been, as long as the Zhong family brings this bracelet to Liangshan Village, no matter what requirements are made to Liangshan Village, the village must not refuse." ”
Yan Qiluo was stunned.
She reached out and stroked the bracelet on her wrist, she just thought it was a gift from Mrs. Zhong to her daughter, but she didn't expect this bracelet to be ......
Wen Muyan and Gu Jingcheng's eyes fell on Yan Qiluo's wrist at the same time.
This bracelet is indeed a few years old.
The shape is simple, without any complicated patterns, and the sense of age is very heavy.
Yan Qiluo was pregnant and heard that jade raised people, so she accepted this gift from Mrs. Zhong.
She didn't expect this bracelet to have such a meaning.
Could it be that when Mother Zhong gave herself this bracelet, she had already guessed that she would come to Liangshan Village?
After the village chief finished saying this, he quickly diverted the topic and beckoned everyone to continue eating.
This lunch is actually quite simple.
The food in the village is naturally not as exquisite as the outside, but it is better than the original, and a dish is a big pot, which looks very enjoyable.
What Yan Qiluo eats is called a relish.
Seeing Yan Qiluo eating happily, the smile on the village chief's face became more and more intense.
Wen Muyan also ate something because Yan Qiluo was happy.
This is already a rare thing for him.
Su Lingyu lowered his voice and said to Yan Qiluo while eating: "Nothing to be courteous, either treachery or theft." You have more eyes. This bracelet of yours represents a promise, you don't use it casually. Wen Muyan and Gu Jingcheng can settle this matter evenly, so the promise of Liangshan Village should not be decided casually. ”
At that moment, Yan Qiluo really thought about using this bracelet to ask Liangshan Village to cooperate with this project.
But after listening to Su Lingyu's words, Yan Qiluo also felt that it made sense.
If Wen Muyan and Gu Jingcheng can't even settle such a small matter, then don't mess around.
Yan Qiluo nodded, indicating that she understood.
Wen Muyan glanced at Su Lingyu approvingly.
The woman Ji Min likes is really good.
After the lunch, everyone dispersed.
Cangsheng, the son of the village chief, looked at Su Lingyu with a hopeful expression, Su Lingyu had no choice but to pull Cangsheng to a secluded place and tell him that he didn't want to fall in love with his sister and brother at all!
It's very unreliable, is it good?
His name and identity in the game are so cool, who would have thought that in reality he would be a little fresh meat who is only twenty years old?
OMG! I'm twenty-five years old!
Yan Qiluo slowly walked over to this side, just in time to see Cangsheng walking over with teary eyes, and Su Lingyu with a helpless expression standing in the distance.
Although he didn't know what happened between them, Yan Qiluo guessed a little.
"Miss Yan." When Cangsheng saw Yan Qiluo, he quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and said a little unnaturally: "My father is calling the villagers to slaughter the cured meat, and the charcoal used for the barbecue has been burned in the morning, and you can go to the square in a while." ”
Yan Qiluo nodded with a smile, looked at the sunlight above his head, and said softly: "Cangsheng, can you talk to me?" I'm just bored. ”
Cangsheng nodded.
This big boy, who is only twenty years old, is slender and not tall, and he is only 1.65 meters tall, standing with Yan Qiluo, it seems that he is not as tall as Yan Qiluo's immediate sense of sight.
Yan Qiluo knows that the skeletons of people here are all on the small side, men rarely exceed 1.7 meters tall, and girls rarely exceed 1.6 meters, most of them are around 1.5 meters.
Therefore, Cangsheng is not too short for the locals.
I don't know why, Yan Qiluo has a strange feeling about Liangshan Village.
It's like I don't know when I've been here.
But she knew to herself that this was the first time she had come.
In the past, I lived in the countryside thousands of miles away all the year round, and I definitely did not have the conditions to come to such a remote place.
Could it be that it has already come in a dream?
Yan Qiluo stretched out her hand and gently touched the chili peppers hanging under the eaves of the corridor, and the sunlight sprinkled on Yan Qiluo's pure face, lining her maternal gentle brilliance from the inside out, which made Cangsheng look a little stunned.
Miss Yan, it's so beautiful......
There was only this one sentence left in Cangsheng's mind.
"Cangsheng, have you ever seen Zhong Tianxiao?" Yan Qiluo asked softly.
Cangsheng shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but my father has seen it." The six patriarchs have also seen it. In the past, when the eldest lady of the Zhong family was still very young, the village chief would take the six patriarchs to the Zhong family together to give gifts to the Zhong family. My father said that he had seen the eldest lady of the Zhong family from afar. Dad said that there are so many children, but the eldest lady of the Zhong family looks different from others at a glance. ”
No wonder the village chief always had a strange feeling about his attitude, it turned out that he had seen Zhong Tianxiao.
"Liangshan Village is so big, is your father responsible for the affairs of the village?" Yan Qiluo asked curiously.
Cangsheng smiled: "How is it possible?" My dad was only in charge of an external job, and internally, everyone was in charge of their own affairs. ”
"I'm curious, people, what nationality are you?" Yan Qiluo looked at the clothes on Cangsheng's body, and now the phenomenon of sinicization of ethnic minorities is also very serious, unless it is a holiday, the clothes of young people follow the trend of the Han people.
Cangsheng nodded and replied, "I am Han." ”
Yan Qiluo looked at Cangsheng in surprise.
"The village chief of Liangshan Village can only be a Han person, which is the rule of Liangshan Village. It's been that way for so many years. Cangsheng continued to explain: "Miss Yan, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”
Yan Qiluo smiled lightly and said, "It's just curious." ”
At this time, several figures flashed at the door of the village chief's house.
Of course, Yan Qiluo is not worried about the existence of any illegal people here.
Liangshan Village is collectively xenophobic, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter the village without permission, let alone the door of the village chief's house.
No need to guess, it must be someone else in the village.
When I came all the way just now, the villagers gave me a lot of gifts, you must know that Liangshan Village is huge, and naturally there is no time to give gifts.
Sure enough, after a while, the bodyguards beside Yan Qiluo came over and said, "Young grandma, there are villagers outside who said that they want to give gifts to young grandma." ”
Yan Qiluo replied with a smile: "Take it, remember to say thank you." ”
The bodyguard answered, turned and left.
As soon as Yan Qiluo turned around, he saw Cangsheng looking at his face in a daze.
Yan Qiluo suddenly smiled: "What? Something on my face? ”
Cangsheng's face instantly turned slightly red, he was only twenty years old after all. And I live in the village all year round, and I don't go out to contact the outside world much, so it's still relatively simple.
"No, I suddenly felt that Miss Yan looked like a woman in a portrait hanging in the ancestral shrine at home. At first, I didn't think it was much like it, but when Miss Yan smiled just now, it made me feel really similar. Cangsheng replied.
