579, the last Liuying Lane
Lifelong flowers stand under the old willow tree.
The willow on the tree seemed to have more life than in previous years, and it was so long that it almost hung down to the ground, and hung in front of her into a green curtain.
Through the curtain, Liuying Lane became blurred in sight, like a hazy and old painting.
She stretched out her hand and plucked it one by one on the willow curtain, like plucking the strings of a lute. The strings were silent, only the buds that had just sprouted on them were plucked vividly, spitting fresh green.
Her hand stopped suddenly, grabbing one of them. This branch is as long as the others, but when you lift it up, you can see the rough fracture of the branch.
It was once broken by her, and the broken branch did not know where it went.
The wounded branch grew harder, and finally made up for the short section, hanging down to the ground like the others. However, no matter how much it is covered, the wound is still there, and it will never heal.
She lowered her hand slightly, let out a long sigh, and stepped out of the green curtain.
Without the curtain to obstruct it, Liuying Lane became clear. The gray walls were covered with black mildew after the rain, the flying eaves were missing a few corners, the streets were empty, there was no half a figure, the doors of the shops were closed, and the big word "demolition" was written on the doors and walls in red paint.
The renovation plan for Liuying Lane was approved a few months ago, and the mobilization for demolition and relocation went smoothly with little resistance. On the one hand, it is the credit of Hu Xing, who has invested enough financial resources and energy in this project; On the other hand, the renovation of Liuying Lane has dragged on for so many years, and it has been repeated several times, and everyone is afraid that this matter will drag on for a while and become yellow, so they can't wait to sign it soon.
Of course, there are not no nail households, but under Hu Xing's money and Director Liu's mother-in-law in the street, the defensive front quickly collapsed, and there were one or two who were really stubborn, and finally let Huang Ziqiang come forward to solve it.
The transformation plan was negotiated by the experts invited by Hu Xing, but it was Lifetime who checked it.
For this project, Apricot Hu pulled the banner of tiger skin, moved out several companies of the Xia family, and established a new joint venture, so that Bi Shenghua also became a shareholder and became the actual participant and controller of the project.
At this point, Bishenghua is very grateful to Hu Xing. Because if you don't do this, even if the mulberry garden project is passed, it is unknown what it will become in the future.
In addition to Hu Xing, she also has to thank one person - Meimei's mother Xia Xiaoxiao, that is, Situ Yuli. That day, Situ Yuli suddenly found her and gave her a huge amount of property that she couldn't have imagined in the past. She said that Meimei's father left a lot of wealth to Meimei, part of which has been transferred to China, and he entrusted a lawyer to handle the foreign property, and the domestic part must be kept and operated by a trustworthy person because of institutional problems. She thought twice and found the flower of her life.
Bi Shenghua asked her, why don't you find someone from the Xia family, the Xia family is obviously more suitable in terms of industrial operation and management, and Xia Wenyuan is Meimei's grandfather, and in theory, the people of the Xia family are more worthy of her trust.
Xia Xiaoxiao said that this was Situ's money, and she couldn't give all the money her husband left to her daughter's family. Bi Shenghua is Meimei's godmother, and with Situ's trust in Aoki, she feels that it is very suitable. In addition, she also learned about the renovation of Liuying Lane, and spending her life is exactly when she needs money.
Bi Shenghua smiled and said Aren't you afraid that I will lose all the money, this is a money-losing project. Xia Xiaoxiao said that with Hu Xing's participation, this project will not lose much money, Hu Xing is really engaged in business for the first time, and her mother and the people of the Xia family will find a way to help her.
Bi Shenghua always felt that something was wrong and asked her why she suddenly decided to do so. Xia Xiaoxiao smiled and said that this was actually decided a long time ago, and she originally wanted to give it to Aoki, but she forgot about it when she was busy, and then Aoki left, and it has been delayed until now. She also said that she was going to go on a long trip, and asked her to spend her life to see Meimei more in the future, just like she saw her own daughter.
Bi Shenghua felt that Xia Xiaoxiao seemed to be explaining the aftermath, and it was not easy to ask too much, so she only responded to the matter. Later, Hu Xing came to her, helped her sort out the assets at hand, and then discussed the joint venture plan.
As a result, Bi Shenghua jumped from a bar proprietress to the behind-the-scenes owner of an investment company. Except for Hu Xing, no one knows how her transformation was completed. For example, Huang Ziqiang, who is also a participant in this project, naturally wants to contact the major shareholders of the project. Hu Xing's side was not strange to him at all, after all, he relied on the background of the Xia family, but the appearance of another investment company surprised him.
He had heard the name of this company and knew that it was a very powerful company in Qiantang and Nuanzhou, but the Xia family's projects in the Sanwu area had never been poured in. When he found out that the boss of this company was actually a lifelong flower, he was shocked.
Once again, he was glad for the decision he had made. If there is anyone behind the lifelong flower, it is only Aoki. Who Aoki was, he still couldn't figure it out. The Sanwu Xia family and the North American Hong family all looked at this person differently, and even Huang Ziqiang also got great benefits in business because he knew Aoki. Aoki has been missing for more than two years, but Huang Ziqiang can still feel that the influence of this person is still there, and it will not die out with time.
Of course, most people can't see the changes in her life, because she still dresses like a man's wife and lives in the dilapidated Liuying Lane.
Naturally, the bar was closed. Xiao Qi and Mo Yu found a shop to open a new bar on a lively street next door, and they didn't have enough money, so they found a lifelong spend. Bi Shenghua said that it would be okay to buy shares, but you could borrow money. She lent them all the money she had paid for the demolition, on the condition that all the original staff of the bar would be brought over and none of them would be dismissed.
Xiao Qi and Mo Yu knew that Bishenghua was reluctant to Liuying Lane, reluctant to the old willow tree, and did not force it, but they still regarded her as the proprietress and came back from time to time to report to her about the operation of the new bar.
Apart from them, few people came to Liuying Lane. The originally lively, narrow alley looked deserted and decayed, except for the old willow tree, still glowing with fresh green, waiting for the return of the swallows in the spring breeze.
Bishenghua came out from under the willow tree and walked on the deserted street on a tap. She's recently fallen in love with wearing slippers, which are comfortable, but now there's no one on the street, so it doesn't matter what she wears.
The door of the Ruhua Bar is still there, and a big word is written next to it. Originally, she didn't want to demolish it, but after discussing it with Hu Xing and several experts, she still felt that it was a good demolition. This location was in the center of the mulberry garden, and according to her grandfather's description, there was originally a small lake here, and the willow tree was planted near the lake, and then her grandfather transplanted the willow tree to its original location after the big mulberry tree burned down.
She came to the back door, removed the flower pot at the door, took out the key from the bottom of the pot, opened the door and went in, and went up to the second floor. The couplet at the door of Shenwu's studio is still there:
Dead trees are spring, flowers bloom in the alleys, and no one sees them
The birds love the cave, and the old nest is sprinkled and waiting for the king's return
There is an extra swallow's nest under the eaves of the porch on the second floor. This nest was made last year, and this year the swallows are back. But this place is about to be demolished, and after it is demolished, the swallows will not be able to find a home, right?
Fortunately, there was still the old willow tree, and as long as the tree was there, he would know the way home.
The mother swallow returned and flew into the bird's nest, and the little swallow inside opened its mouth with a chirp. She remembered the crow opening its mouth and waiting for Aoki to feed the meat.
The swallow soon flew away again, skimming over the old willow treetops in the distance.
At some point, there was a man standing under the tree, wearing a trench coat and a hood, covering himself tightly, as if he was still holding a piece of paper in his hand. He looked at the tree and then in the direction of the bar, as if comparing something with the piece of paper in his hand.
Bi Shenghua felt a little strange, so she planned to go downstairs and ask. However, by the time she reached the street, the man was already gone, and a picture was dropped under the willow tree.
She picked it up and found it to be a very old photograph. The photograph shows a young man and a woman, standing under a very stout old mulberry tree. The mulberry tree, with its lush branches and strong branches, has a wing-like black in the corner on the top of the photo, like the wings of a pair of large birds.
As soon as Bi Shenghua saw the face of the man in the photo, her heart pounded. She flipped the photo over and saw a faint line on the back:
Watson Mulberry and Mulberry Garden, 1931
