After 10 hours of bumpy journey of 1,000 kilometers, we arrived. If it weren’t for the all-round transformation of the old Poussin, it would be really painful.
Both of them chose to drive by themselves, because it was the safest and most secretive, especially for an old Poussin that looked like it could be bought for just a few thousand yuan on the second-hand market.
"You should go to the scenic spot first. After all, it's better to take a look here." After getting off the car, Zhao Min said a little tiredly facing the afterglow of the setting sun. Tang Lin looked up at the closed gate of the scenic spot, raised his hand and touched his nose, "Then
You can only go through the back door, right?"
Zhao Min nodded, and then personally led the way. She took the side door on the left. She seemed to be very familiar with the old man guarding the door. After entering, the yard was very wide, divided into several rooms, including a lotus pond, a small river, and green grass, which was antique and fragrant.
There are also some mottled buildings. At least they look better than Tang Lin expected.
Because now there are so many so-called former residences of celebrities, and they are all messed up just to sell tickets. On the contrary, there is a rare tranquility in the sunset here.
As he walked, he simply sat down on the grass next to him, and then stared directly at the sun that was about to set. Zhao Min stood in front of him, with a long shadow, and the two shadows together seemed like
Traveling through a hundred years, it is harmonious and desolate. Zhao Min doesn’t know when he got a film camera in his hand. In this era when everyone plays mirrorless and digital, it is rare to insist on using a film camera, not to mention other things, even film
It’s almost impossible to buy it anymore.
Those who still insist on using it now are either wealthy people or true love.
Zhao Min also seemed to be very interested in the shadows of the two people under the sunset. He composed the picture, adjusted the aperture, took a deep breath, stabilized his fingers, and clicked. He took a picture with confidence and skill, and then stopped looking for new scenery. It seemed that
She was already familiar with every plant and tree here.
There was no wavering on her face, and she instantly became calm as she stood there, as if she knew all the stories that had happened here, as if she was the real owner of this place.
Tang Lin was undoubtedly keen, and his guess came to mind again, so he played a little clever, "You grew up near here when you were a child, right?"
Zhao Min didn't speak. Maybe he didn't hear or maybe he didn't want to answer. Tang Lin lowered his head and laughed at his own naivety. He couldn't think of such a boring method, so he stopped trying to find out the truth and just lay down relaxedly.
We lay down. The grass was soft and well-manicured, and it was soft and comfortable to lie down on.
There are big brands everywhere in China. Don't pay attention to me, I'm afraid of pain. In fact, in foreign countries, grassland in public places is the best place for family entertainment, dining and leisure. The differences in the quality of the crowd and management methods will produce greater differences.
Customs and lifestyle. Anyway, he likes to lie on the grass for a while without any restraint.
Or read a book, or be in a daze, or simply take a nap. He will never destroy the grass, and will take away all the garbage. He feels that people's concepts and management methods will change sooner or later.
Zhao Min was wearing a rather formal OL summer dress. Tang Lin couldn't call it a brand, but it was definitely the kind that was expensive but looked low-key. He didn't want to comment on other people's clothing taste. He just suddenly felt it was a pity because
It was rare quietness and emptiness. How could she lie down, rest and enjoy herself dressed like this?
This is also the reason why Tang Lin prefers camouflage casual clothes to suits, ties, and leather shoes. Putting on that kind of clothes is like changing a person all of a sudden. You can't do many things when you wear that kind of clothes.
Of course, as an official, formal occasions must be treated formally, such as receiving important foreign guests, large-scale theme events, large-scale meetings, etc. However, now large-scale meetings have begun to wear jackets without ties, and Tang Lin likes this very much.
Changes from the above to the following. Because true majesty and prestige can never be created by one or two professional and expensive clothes.
In the end, he has to come from the people and go to the people. Compared with what he received, he received more pure and orthodox training, and his concepts are the real righteous concepts. This is also the last time of the old man's life. If he is optimistic about him, then he will do pioneering experiments.
important reasons.
Where is the purest? Of course the best soldiers in the best troops.
"Do you think I'm very formal and boring, and can't enjoy life all the time, right?" Standing in front of him, Zhao Min quickly saw through his thoughts. Tang Lin didn't deny it, he still maintained his feelings
The most comfortable posture, "Yeah, sometimes people like you are quite boring, but I'm not disgusted with it, because there is no rule without rules. People like you are the real elites of this society. If a person wants to go
The most important thing for success must be to be able to restrain your own behavior and desires."
A slight smile flashed across Zhao Min's lips, "Okay, do you plan to spend the night here? Let's go to the back mountain. Maybe there are more primitive things there."
Tang Lin's heart moved, he got up and walked through the courtyards to leave. Of course what he saw in front of him was not the original appearance. It turned out that the Zeng family's courtyard was much larger than it is now, and there was only an approximate appearance here.
Cars are not allowed on the road up the mountain, which is very secretive and consists of winding stone paths. The sun has completely set and the moon has risen. If it were not for the moonlight, walking in this kind of mountain would be really scary.
Zhao Min was in front, Tang Lin was in the middle, and Yang Qin was in the middle. This combination was very reasonable and safe. The distance was not short, and it took about 40 minutes of walking before we arrived at a quiet valley.
Although the bridge is not big, it actually stretches across a ravine. Looking down, you can see the pitch-black depths, which looks a bit like a place where super masters live in martial arts movies.
This small bridge is made of wood from the structural point of view, but there are mechanisms inside, so it can be hoisted as a suspension bridge. The design is indeed unique, which means that if the suspension bridge is hoisted, no one can walk to the other side.
With the creaking sound, those who are timid must not dare to come up, because there is a danger of falling into the abyss at any time. But Zhao Min didn't even ask, let alone explain, the two men behind her, let alone this place, are at the gate of hell.
I dare to go there without batting an eye.
After crossing the wooden bridge, we faced a small waterfall about three meters high and only about 2 meters wide. The water splashed directly into a deep green pool. The deep pool seemed to have been washed away for thousands of years and was not deep enough.
At the bottom, the water in the deep pool was full, and then naturally flowed along a narrow river into the cliff on the right side of the wooden bridge, causing bigger splashes and a bigger impact. It actually looked extraordinary.
The surrounding vegetation is basically green bamboo forest. Under the bamboo forest, you can first see a quite pure and natural circular garden. Behind the circular garden are several unspectacular but heavy thatched houses.
The thatched houses are divided into three rows, and they go up one level along the height of the mountain. They look as impactful as a 3D movie. There are 7 rooms in the third row, 6 rooms in the second row, and 5 rooms in the first row, but the center
It is built on an upward baseline, so if you look closely, it looks like an unfolding fan.
Anyway, Tang Lin had to admit that he had never seen such a magical place even in movies.
In addition to the necessary stone courtyards in the middle of each floor of thatched houses, there are reclaimed farmland extending out. This place is absolutely self-sufficient. He even immediately heard the cries of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the dark.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose, "This place is more authentic than the Peach Blossom Spring, and the gentleman here a hundred years ago must have often reflected on himself here."
Zhao Min still didn't reply or make any introduction, which means that everything here has to be experienced and figured out by yourself. Tang Lin originally thought that this was another mountain villa, and the entrance must be designed to be luxurious, simple and low-key, and there must be something very special about it.
A special plaque with the two characters "Xiangyuan" written on it.
Or running script or cursive script. Anyway, this kind of place is not suitable for regular fonts. But now, there are no plaques at all, let alone running script and cursive script. There is no name here at all. The name of Xiangyuan is only in the minds of a very few people.
Well, he had to admit that this level was the real top club level. Compared to the Red Sun Club that Chu Feifei set up in Zhongzhou, it was simply too childish. But Chu Feifei definitely had higher-level clubs elsewhere, especially
It's in a relatively developed foreign country. Chu Feifei still has many secrets that he doesn't know.
"You can choose any room, but you can't choose the three rooms on the front and left because they are permanent guests here." Zhao Min finally gave some clues, but it was not an introduction.
There are farmland, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep here. Of course there are people who live here, but the people who live here are not their servants but their guests? So who are these guests?
Tang Lin was puzzled. Although there were strong political factors here, Tang Lin would never believe that this place was used for secret vacations by high-ranking officials, because the Lu family was not so brainless. In this regard, they were the most
They are both keen and the most experienced family, so what kind of guests are they?
A young man like him?
No, it should be the elderly. Only the elderly will really like and live here with peace of mind. They can sit here from sunrise to sunset, drink tea, play Go, read newspapers and listen to the news.
"The guests here are all retired officials hired back by the Lu family, right?" Tang Lin suddenly asked.
"You said yes, if you want to do big business, you must first understand politics. But now we can also go back to it. If you want to be a high official, you must first be proficient in economics, because with the development of society, the management functions of government officials will gradually change.
Transformed into more advanced service functions, and how to develop the economy well is the core and focus. This has always been clear, which does not mean that economic indicators are no longer the most important way to measure cadres, and the economic capabilities of officials are not important.
No, no, it’s just that many places have gone too far in handling this matter in the past few years.”
"To be more clear, it is the so-called economic ability of officials. In fact, it can also be said to be the ability to keep people fed, clothed, housed, driven, cars and treated well, right?"
Zhao Min continued his attack on Tang Lin's heart.
"You are really not simple. In other words, your vision is very high and you can see very clearly. This is something that ordinary officials cannot see. Maybe after decades of hard work in officialdom, what they see is promotion, wealth and wives." Tang
Lin smiled faintly.
"Then do you see clearly now?" Zhao Min asked back.
"Seeing it clearly and being able to do it well in reality are completely different things. Understanding it in theory may not necessarily lead to success in practice. I am still more concerned about one issue, which is what is the ultimate goal of bringing me here?
Plan to win over people in advance?" Tang Lin also asked.
"No, it's not like that. I just want you to see in advance. The reason why the Lu family is where it is today is that they are following the right path among the right paths, and they are doing big business that has a foundation that is beneficial to this country. It's that simple." Zhao
Min's answer once again broke through Tang Lin's previous knowledge.
