Two hundred and fifty seventh chapter two women meet
After parking the car, Qin Yu and Meng Yao walked towards Liulichang without stopping too much. Meng Fang rejected the boss's intention to follow them.
Now people say Liulichang actually refers more to Liulichang Cultural Street. Liulichang was first built in the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty government built official kilns here to bake glazed tiles. During the Ming Dynasty, it expanded due to the construction of palaces.
Due to the size of Liulichang, Liulichang became one of the five major factories of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court at that time. Finally, during the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, due to the construction of inner and outer cities, Liulichang was moved away because it was inconvenient to burn kilns in the city. However, "Liulichang"
The name has been retained.
As for Liulichang Cultural Street, it originated in the Qing Dynasty. It was first because scholars from all over the country came to Beijing to take exams. Therefore, there were many shops selling books, pens, inks, paper and inkstones here, forming a relatively strong cultural atmosphere. Later, it became
It gradually became a book market.
Because this cultural street is a place where some literati and elegant people hang out in the capital. In addition to calligraphy and painting, some antiques related to culture also slowly emerged here. After the reform and opening up, Liulichang Cultural Street became the most famous antique trading place in the country.
market.
At this moment, Qin Yu and three people were walking on this bustling street. The most indispensable thing in Liulichang Cultural Street was people. Not only Chinese people, but also many foreign tourists. Qin Yu also saw a lot of things along the way.
Qin Yu even saw some blond and blue-eyed foreigners bargaining with vendors with serious faces.
If there is a place in the capital that has not been touched by urban management, it is Liulichang’s cultural street. The unique atmosphere of Liulichang allows it to have its own management staff. In addition to the antique shops, there are also many vendors.
Spreading cloth and setting up stalls on the spot, a literati once described Liulichang like this:
"The newly opened factory is in time for the Chinese New Year, so we can enjoy the books and department stores. The elegant young masters are everywhere, and there are many scholars who come and go." This is enough to show that Liulichang was a place where literati and powerful people gathered in ancient times, and the poor were not poor at all.
Pick up items from the store.
But there are also many poor scholars who come to Beijing to take exams. The things in this shop are too expensive to buy, so another form of transaction has arisen, that is, street stalls. Many book sellers set up stalls on both sides of the street to buy some cheap books.
Ancient books are not expensive, and even poor scholars can afford them, so this shop has been preserved, and this street stall has also been preserved.
The powerful people rested their horses to review curios, while the strangers came to the booth to read old books.
This poem well illustrates the two different behaviors of people who come to Cultural Street. The rich and powerful go to the reputable antique shops, while the average person can only buy some high-quality goods at second-hand book stalls.
It's just an ancient book.
Therefore, this type of stalls and shops have been handed down from ancient times and have been retained until now. Later, they gradually became a feature of antique shops. Any relatively large antique market will have street vendors. Most of these vendors are mobile.
Whichever city's antique market has a large-scale event, go there. Of course, you will also set up stalls in fixed antique markets.
Qin Yu was not familiar with Liulichang, but Meng Fang was very familiar with it. After Qin Yu told him the name of the store where Mo Yongxin was located, Meng Fang took Qin Yu and Meng Yao and walked directly inside.
Meng Fang could be considered a frequent visitor to Liulichang in the capital. Several elders in his family liked these antique calligraphy and paintings, so Meng Fang would go to the more reputable shops in Liulichang to buy them.
As for the stalls on the ground, Meng Fang would never stop there. His family knew about his family affairs and he had a few brushes. Meng Fang knew very well that these street vendors in Liulichang, the capital, were notorious for ruthlessly robbing people.
Modern handicrafts can tell you that they were imperial supplies of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and they can also make up a bizarre and twisted story. You can make up a story about almost every item.
There was once a big shot in the entertainment industry who jokingly said to those directors, you need to find good screenwriters and grab them from the stalls in Shang Liulichang. Make sure they are masters of telling stories, and even the twists and turns of the stories are far greater than some of the current ones.
script.
"Xiangbaozhai!"
Meng Fang led Qin Yu and others through a street and appeared in front of a store. Qin Yu raised his head and glanced at the words on the door plaque of the store, Xiangbaozhai, which was the store Mo Yongxin mentioned on the phone.
.
"Xiangbaozhai is also a time-honored store in Liulichang. There are very few fakes in the items inside, so many people come here to buy some antiques."
Meng Fang explained to Qin Yu, and the three of them walked up the red stone steps into the store. Xiangbaozhai was quite large. As soon as they entered the door, there was a row of shelves filled with all kinds of calligraphy, painting, and porcelain.
, under that special light, everything looks very heavy.
"What do the bosses want to see?" As soon as Qin Yu and others entered the door, a young man wearing an ancient mandarin jacket came over. He seemed to be the shopping guide in the store.
"We are looking for someone. A friend of mine should be in your store." Qin Yu said, "She is a lady, about the same age as me, and she is quite beautiful."
"You are talking about Miss Mo, right? Miss Mo told me that some friends will come to the store to look for her. Miss Mo is in the tea room inside. I will take you in."
The young man listened to Qin Yu's words and hurriedly led the way. He didn't dare to neglect what Miss Mo explained. Although he didn't know where Miss Mo was from, she was so young and beautiful and could make the big shopkeeper in the store
Needless to say, the person who received him personally was also a very important person in this capital city.
As for Miss Mo's friends, the older one seems to have an extraordinary temperament, and the woman next to him is also extremely beautiful. As for the person he is talking to, the so-called things flock together, people flock together.
It is certain that his identity is not trivial.
Qin Yu and the other three followed the shopping guide inside and passed through a corridor. Qin Yu didn't expect that there was a world inside the store. It turned out to be a house like a courtyard, and what they were walking towards at the moment was the one in the middle.
The main hall for entertaining guests.
"Miss Mo, your friend is here."
Entering the main hall, Qin Yu glanced over. There were five people in the main hall. In addition to Mo Yongxin, his brother Mo Yongxing was also there. There was another young man and two old men whom Qin Yu didn't recognize.
"Qin Yu!"
Seeing Qin Yu walking in, Mo Yongxing was the first to come over and gave Qin Yu a bear hug. He patted Qin Yu's shoulders hard twice to show his affection, but Qin Yu was moved by Mo Yong.
Xing grinned in response to the photo. This guy was not easy to attack, and it was very possible that he did it on purpose.
"Mr. Qin is here." Mo Yongxin nodded slightly when she saw Qin Yu, and finally her eyes fell on Meng Yao next to Qin Yu: "I have heard about Sister Meng Yao's name a long time ago. The capital wants
The people pursuing Sister Mengyao can line up from east to west, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Qin won the heart of Sister Mengyao in the end. If this spreads out, I don’t know what man will be secretly hurt."
"Sister Mo is the dream girl of those men!" After hearing Mo Yongxin's words, Meng Yao blushed on her pretty face, looking like a little girl. Mo Yongxin frowned slightly when she saw Meng Yao's appearance.
It was wrinkled, but it stretched out quickly.
"Fang Zi, our little princess is here too? Who is this?" The young man who was standing aside saw Meng Yao holding her hand in the arm of a strange young man, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Doubt: "Didn't the Meng family want to marry the Mo family? How could the little princess of the Meng family be with other men in front of Mo Yongxing? And it seems that these people all know each other. Could it be that this Meng family
Are the rumors about the marriage between the Jia family and the Mo family false?"
The young man's background is also not small, but it is precisely because of this that he is very curious about Qin Yu's identity. It is obvious that he is very strange to Qin Yu and has no impression of him. This means that Qin Yu is not from the capital circle.
But since I know both Meng and Mo families at the same time, they must have a good background.
"Qin Yu, let me introduce you. This is Fang Ning. He has played with us since childhood. You will call him Brother Fang. Fang Ning, this is my sister's... classmate."
Meng Fang paused for a moment when introducing Qin Yu's identity to Fang Ning. Although his parents had acquiesced in the identity of Qin Yu as his sister's boyfriend, as long as his grandfather didn't nod, the relationship between Qin Yu and his sister could not be confirmed, so in
Since the relationship has not yet been established, it is more appropriate to use the identity of classmate first.
"Hello, Mr. Qin!" Fang Ning showed a smile on his face and shook hands with Qin Yu. He was not stupid. From Meng Yao's expression and movements, he could already tell the true relationship between Qin Yu and Meng Yao. Naturally, he would not
Set the stage for Qin Yu.
"Brother Fang, I'm younger than you, so just call me by my name, sir. I always feel a little awkward." Since the other party was so polite, Qin Yu was naturally very polite. If he wanted to be with Meng Yao, he would just
You must get in touch with people in Meng Yao's circle. It's always good to have one or two more friends.
"You two, don't be polite. Qin Yu is one of our own. Brother Fang, just call him by his name." Mo Yongxing said from the side.
"Okay, I'll call you Qin Yu." After listening to Mo Yongxing's words, Fang Ning's eyes flashed. Who is this Qin Yu? It seems that he has a very close relationship with the Mo family.
, Fang Ning knew Mo Yongxing very well, and being able to let Mo Yongxing reveal who he was was definitely an extraordinary relationship.
"Miss Mo, did you ask me to come?" After the greetings were finished, Qin Yu asked Mo Yongxin.
"Look at the inkstone on the table." Mo Yongxin pointed to the black inkstone on the middle table. Qin Yu looked around and saw that it was a square object covered in black. If Mo Yongxin didn't remind him, Qin Yu might
Yu would still think it was a black brick. (To be continued)
