Chapter Ninety-Three: Like a Dream
(I'm sorry everyone, it's a mess in my head, deep Kavin, I'll make up for it when I'm in a better state)
Gujing Street is located at the intersection of Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street and Renmin Road, the most lively in Star City, it is an old street with the style of the Republic of China, the building of this street is obviously Jiangnan style, with pink walls and tiles, horse head eaves, high gatehouses, has a unique style, very unique.
When Cheng Mo walked from the crowded pedestrian street to the entrance of Gujing Street, he happened to see Bai Xiuxiu and Gao Yuemei getting off a white Toyota Alpha nanny car, the winter sun fell relatively early, although it was only five o'clock, the sunset was already half-broken, the crimson color smudged the entire ramp, the ginkgo biloba that had dropped half of the leaves cast a swaying shadow in the cold wind, the skyscraper was simple and extremely upright in the distance, and the ancient lines of the wind and bones extended towards the Renaissance nearby.
Bai Xiuxiu was wearing a white women's suit, her long hair was slightly permed, draped over her shoulders like a moire, Gao Yuemei was wearing a black tweed skirt with a light brown leather coat, and the two tall and graceful people stood in the sunset like a pictorial girl in a silent movie......
Cheng Mo saw that many passers-by couldn't help but stop and linger, as if admiring the supreme scenery, and also stopped, but the sharp-eyed Gao Yuemei found him and waved to him with a smiling face, Cheng Mo suddenly felt countless attention, and could only walk over with a large handful of Bai Yueji, and handed the flowers to Bai Xiuxiu under the watchful eyes of many passers-by, and said with a smile: "Bai Dong, happy birthday." ”
Bai Xiuxiu, who was standing on the sidewalk, looked at Bai Yueji who was handed over by Cheng Mo for a moment, but quickly reacted, smiled at Cheng Mo and said, "Thank you." ”
Gao Yuemei naturally couldn't think of why Bai Xiuxiu was stunned, let alone that "Lin Zhinuo" had a complicated relationship with her sister-in-law in private, so she gave Cheng Mo an approving look, and held Bai Xiuxiu's arm coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, I haven't given me flowers once after knowing him for so long, I didn't tell him today, and he still knows to buy flowers for you..... Zhinuo really has a heart for you......"
Bai Xiuxiu handed the flowers to the driver in a black suit and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I haven't received flowers for a long time." ”
Gao Yuemei was a little surprised, "How come, there should be a lot of people chasing you!"
Bai Xiuxiu shook her head and didn't explain the reason.
Gao Yuemei said: "Hey, too, most people only dare to look up to such an excellent woman as my sister-in-law, where do they have the courage to chase it?"
Cheng Mo smiled and said, "I think there must still be someone who has the courage to chase after him, but Bai Dong may not be able to ..... it."
"Mind your own business, and don't worry about me. Bai Xiuxiu said lightly.
If you want to change to someone else, it is estimated that she has been silent when she heard Bai Xiuxiu's slightly cold tone, but Gao Yuemei has always had a good relationship with Bai Xiuxiu, and she is Bai Xiuxiu's sister-in-law, so she doesn't feel Bai Xiuxiu's coercion, but says angrily: "Why don't you worry, my parents hope that you can find a good man!"
Bai Xiuxiu knew that Gao Yuemei had always been nervous, so she said helplessly: "Let's not talk about this first, we entered the restaurant and were chatting....."
Gao Yuemei "oh" and took Bai Xiuxiu to the Gujing Street, Cheng Mo fell behind a little, followed by two women with their own styles and crossed the ancient well at the entrance of Gujing Street, the ancient well is covered with a red octagonal pavilion, the pavilion is hung with four golden characters of "Old Spring Relic Wind", two ginkgo trees about 100 years old are planted on both sides, most of the branches are bald, sporadic yellow leaves hang on the branches and tremble, walking through the pavilion is a Qing Dynasty-like house, red beams and black tiles, The window lattice, covered with white plastic paper, and the red lantern with no light swayed slightly under the eaves.
The three of them walked into a narrow alley before and after, with blue brick walls and black wooden doors on both sides, Bai Xiuxiu's high heels knocked on the stone road, and rang out in the quiet alley, Cheng Mo followed behind, Bai Xiuxiu wearing high heels and Gao Yuemei were as tall as Gao Yuemei, the backs of the two people were extremely beautiful, Gao Yuemei's body line was slightly slender, her waist was thin and her legs were long, full of youthful vitality; Bai Xiuxiu was more plump, with a straight back and hips, and she walked swaying.
Cheng Mo doesn't have evil thoughts, he just thinks that looking at beautiful things can really make people feel happy.
Gao Yuemei looked at the winding alley and felt like she had traveled through time, and sighed: "I didn't expect there to be such an antique place near the pedestrian street!"
"This was originally the 'former site of the Xiangjiang Review Printing Office,' ......," Ms. Bai said.
"The former site of the Xiangjiang Review Printing Office?" This little-known place made Gao Yuemei a little confused.
"The Xiangjiang Review was a progressive publication during the May Fourth period. Bai Xiuxiu explained.
Gao Yuemei said "oh", and then saw that there was a black and gold plaque on the top of the Moon Cave Gate not far away, and a metal plaque was also pasted on one side of the Moon Cave Gate, which read, "Star City Immovable Cultural Relics Point, the former site of Xiangjiang Review Printing Office, started in 1916", Gao Yuemei asked suspiciously: "Is it appropriate to change the immovable cultural relics point into a restaurant?"
"It's private now, as long as it's more or less the way it was. Bai Xiuxiu said.
Cheng Mo glanced at the doorway, it is a typical hall well structure, the houses on all sides are connected to each other, the roof is overlapped, tightly surrounding the small courtyard in the middle, because the eaves are high and the courtyard is small, the shape is similar to the wellhead, so it is also called the patio, the courtyard of the patio has never been big, but the decoration here is very elegant, the surrounding buildings are wooden embroidery buildings, there is a small pond of koi in the middle, and said lightly: "There is no point in keeping it or not." ”
Gao Yuemei, who had already stepped into the courtyard, turned around and asked, "Why?"
Cheng Mo said in a low voice: "The old site of the Xiangjiang Review Printing Office is valuable because the great man wrote the founding manifesto for the inaugural issue of the Xiangjiang Review issued in July 1919.... The real Xiangjiang Review Printing Office was already in ashes in the fire of 1938..... It's just that it was built on the ruins later, and it's the same as Tianxin Pavilion....."
Gao Yuemei looked up at the wooden cloister that had lost some paint and looked very vicissitudes, although the beautifully carved railing was brushed with tung oil and shining in the sun, it had an ancient charm, and there were cyan mildew marks in the moire carving paved at the corner, and it didn't look like it was newly repaired at all, "Isn't it? I see that the things here are very charming! I feel that it has been some years, not like the ones that were repaired later." ”
Cheng Mo also looked up at this building, and said after a while: "The owner here still put some thought into it, I guess this building was probably moved from Xiangxi, right?"
Bai Xiuxiu also glanced back at Cheng Mo, and was about to speak, when a woman wearing a cheongsam walked out of the room on the right, applauded three times, and said with a smile: "Amazing, I have so many guests here, you can see through at a glance that my building was moved from Xiangxi." ”
Cheng Mo followed the sound and looked over, next to the vermilion door carved with plum blossoms, there was a graceful woman, her plump chest made the silk fabric cheongsam very high, her legs wearing flesh-colored stockings were exposed from the slit of the cheongsam, and she had some light makeup on her face, but the lipstick on her lips was relatively red, and her complexion was very fair, not as beautiful as Bai Xiuxiu, nor as beautiful as Gao Yue, but she was also a rare beauty.
Cheng Mo just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, didn't mean to look more, and didn't answer, only heard Bai Xiuxiu say: "Wen Xi, aren't you in Thailand, why are you here?"
The woman who was called Wen Xi by Bai Xiuxiu walked towards the three of them, her eyes wandered a few times on the faces of Cheng Mo and Gao Yuemei, and said with a smile: "Your birthday today, come to eat with me, my boss lady has to rush back even if she is in Antarctica!"
"It's not that you don't know, I never celebrate my birthday, today I just found a chance to talk to my Xiaomei's boyfriend....." Bai Xiuxiu said.
Wen Xi looked at Bai Xiuxiu and sighed: "To be honest, fortunately you don't have a birthday, your birthday is really a blow to others, it makes people feel that the years are urging people to grow old, but the years only love you..... Makes you younger and younger..... You're really going to be fine in a few years...."
Bai Xiuxiu chuckled and said, "You mouth!
Wen Xi patted Bai Xiuxiu lightly, and joked: "That's it, I don't want my mouth to be sweet, I'm afraid you won't pay attention to a vulgar fan like me." ”
After a pause, Wen Xi was afraid of snubbing Gao Yuemei and Cheng Mo on the side, and before Bai Xiuxiu could introduce her, she immediately grabbed Gao Yuemei's arm and looked her up and down, "This is your sister-in-law, Miss Gao......, right?
Then Wen Xi glanced at Bai Xiuxiu again and said: "Just like your sister-in-law, Xiuzi feels vulgar to others, but here your sister-in-law feels that it is a fairy word." ”
Although Gao Yuemei is very used to being flattered, the other party is a beautiful woman, and it is the first time that she has been compared to her sister-in-law, in fact, Bai Xiuxiu is the object of Gao Yuemei's worship, which makes Gao Yuemei's face slightly red, "Sister Wen Xi is really good at talking....."
Xi turned his gaze to Cheng Mo, who was standing a little behind Bai Xiuxiu, measured the distance between Cheng Mo and Gao Yuemei, and saw Cheng Mo's handsome face again, his eyes lit up, "This is Xiaomei's boyfriend, right?"
Gao Yuemei half-turned around and stretched out her hand, "Lin Zhinuo." ”
Wen Xi said with a smile: "Miss Gao and Mr. Lin are a pair of handsome men and beauties made in heaven, which is really enviable....."
As soon as she said this, Gao Yuemei suddenly had a good impression of Wen Xi, who had just met, and was thinking about how to respond, but she heard Bai Xiuxiu say: "What do you say when you stand at the door?"
"The second floor is like a dream, I'll sit with you first. Wen Xi said.
The four of them walked along the corridor to the end, up a slightly narrow wooden staircase, and when they reached the second floor, they saw a private room with a wooden sign of 'Rumeng Ling', the door of the private room was open, and the inside was also completely retro decoration, and the tables, chairs, and porcelain were all old objects, which were obviously collected with some painstaking efforts.
Wen Xi called the waitress in a cheongsam to serve tea, then looked at Cheng Mo and asked, "How did Mr. Lin know that my building was moved from Xiangxi?"
Cheng Mo asked rhetorically: "Ms. Wen Xi is the descendant of Mr. Wen Mian?"
Wen Xi's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "How do you know this?"
Bai Xiuxiu and Gao Yuemei were also surprised, and their eyes turned to Cheng Mo's direction.
Wen Xi's grandfather Wen Mian used to be the director of the Shonan Museum, and he was also in charge of Shonan cultural work, he was a historian, and he once published a very unpopular set of "Shonan History Collection" and "Shonan History", which happened to be read by Cheng Mo.
"Guess according to your name, in fact, I can't be sure, but I think of the thing that Mr. Wen Mianyi once said that the most cherished thing is the 'Wenxi fire', and this is private property..... You have gone to great lengths to move the two-story printing room in Xiangxi, and you are naturally very fond of historical relics..... So I guess you are the descendant of Mr. Wen Mian....." Cheng Mo talked to someone like Wen Xi, and unconsciously crepe.
Wen Xi looked at Bai Xiuxiu and Gao Yuemei in disbelief, and said three words, "It's amazing!"
Bai Xiuxiu took her eyes off Cheng Mo's silent face, and said in her heart: No wonder so many people have not been able to discover the secret of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, but he can find out that his reasoning ability is too strong.
Although Bai Xiuxiu thought so in her heart, she refused to admit that Cheng Mo was powerful, and said lightly: "It's not difficult to guess! Wen Xi's fire burned down 90 percent of the entire Star City, of course your building was built later! After liberation, you can buy this kind of location, and there are few people who can buy this kind of position, right? Plus your name is Wen Xi, it's strange if you can't guess it!"
Wen Xi glanced at Bai Xiuxiu, her eyes were very strange, and she smiled: "How can you say it so easily." ”
Bai Xiuxiu immediately realized that she shouldn't say that, Wen Xi was familiar with his own style, and he could tell at once that this was not his usual style of speaking, Bai Xiuxiu didn't know why he was a little flustered, and almost wanted to cover up the empty cup, but fortunately, Gao Yuemei had a fork at this time, and turned her head to ask Cheng Mo: "What is the Wenxi fire?"
Cheng Mo said calmly: "Star City, as the ancient capital of a thousand-year-old civilization, has no old buildings at all, which is due to the fire 78 years ago, that is, the Star City fire in the middle of the night on November 12, 1938. The scorched earth anti-Japanese war policy formulated a plan to burn Star City, that is, when the Japanese army invaded less than 15 kilometers away from Star City, set fire to burn the materials and facilities that could not be taken away, and prevent them from being used by the Japanese army. However, the Japanese invaders did not enter Star City, but the fire broke out, eventually killing more than 30,000 people in Changsha and burning down more than 90% of the city's houses, making Star City the worst-damaged city in World War II, along with Stalingrad, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is one of the three major tragedies in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, along with the Huayuankou embankment burst and the Chongqing air-raid shelter tragedy....."
"For Star City, it has also suffered irreparable losses, this fire has destroyed the cultural accumulation of Star City since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the ground cultural relics have been destroyed to almost zero, as one of the few ancient cities in China that has remained unchanged for more than 2,000 years, it is really a sad thing.....
Bai Xiuxiu said: "Although Jiang XX shot Wen Chongfu, Xu Kun, and Yu Yi afterwards, there is no doubt that these three people are all behind the blame, these three people are all from the Whampoa Military Academy, Yu Gong and my grandfather know each other, they are Jiang's favorite students of the first phase of Whampoa, and they have served as the director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy for two times, and they are core members of the Fuxin Society. At that time, in order to express his determination, Duke Yu left his wife and children in Chongqing and went to Star City, the focus of the Anti-Japanese War, alone. With the garrison commander supreme distinction between public and private, and the promotion arrangements for relatives and friends are rejected one by one, it can be said that the public is a very responsible and responsible person. After the death of Duke Yu, Zhang Zhizhong gave Mrs. Yu 50,000 yuan, and Zhang Zhizhong's heavy family may have been specially instructed by Jiang. There is no doubt that the death of the Duke was suffered on behalf of the master...... At that time, Zhou Gong and Guo Moruo were both in Star City, and they were almost burned to death....."
Wen Xi nodded and sighed: "Every time I talk about this, my grandfather is heartbroken, and he even gave me such a name. No matter how many people are shot, this matter cannot be washed away..... The Kuomintang is undefeated and has no natural reason....."
Bai Xiuxiu turned her head and asked Cheng Mo: "Lin Zhinuo, if you want to be in Jiang's position, what should you do?"
