When they heard that they were going to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at their old house, everyone in the Hong family was not happy.
Because people who have been there want to see how well the house is being repaired, and people who have never been there have long been thinking about seeing what the old house looks like.
That is to say, they are afraid of disturbing the construction progress and causing trouble wherever they go, so they have been restrained and did not dare to visit.
Now that we have this opportunity, excitement is inevitable.
Moreover, when Wang Yunlin came back, she praised the newly built house again, which made everyone feel really itchy.
But to be honest, probably because Wang Yunlin talked so well in her excitement, no one really believed Wang Yunlin's words. The Hong family all suspected that she was partial to her third son, and there were too many exaggerations in her words.
First of all, for Hong Lucheng, although he already has a lot of trust in Hong Yanwu, his impression of this son has greatly changed compared with the past impression. Moreover, he also heard from his eldest son Hong Yanzheng that he is currently responsible for
Mr. Shan, who repairs the house, is a real expert.
However, he knew the house in the "Huatingyuan" better. The details were quite complicated. After all, it had been deserted for twenty years. Although it looked good on the outside, all the exciting parts had to be replaced. And the disadvantage was that now,
There are too few craftsmen who can do such delicate work, and many materials are hard to come by.
Therefore, in his inner expectation, it would be very difficult to restore it to 70% to 80% of its original appearance. How could it be possible, as Wang Yunlin said, to be better than before both inside and outside?
In particular, Wang Yunlin told him that the old attic had been completely demolished and a new, exquisitely crafted nanmu attic had been built.
He couldn't believe it even more.
Hong Lucheng is not an ignorant person. Doesn’t he know how hard it is to find nanmu? What is the price?
He naturally thought that the most likely possibility was that Wang Yunlin had seen it wrong.
Secondly, for Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli, Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanru, in their impressions, they could never imagine what Wang Yunlin said. Under the shade of flowers and trees, one could climb the stairs to view the scenery, read on the verandah, and have all the living facilities.
It has everything. It has a kitchen, a dining room, a toilet, a bathroom, and a heated garden-style courtyard. What exactly should it look like?
What Wang Yunlin described was that the walls of the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom were all covered with pure white ceramic tiles, and the floor was even paved with "mosaics" like chess pieces. I was even more surprised.
Because they only know that public bathhouses use those rare things. The advantage is that they are very easy to clean and look almost spotless. But the problem is that they are also expensive, and no one in the common people has ever used them.
Nowadays, they use such good materials even in a smoky and smelly place. Isn’t that awesome?
Finally, for a little guy like Hong Jun, Wang Yunlin told him that he was going to spend the "Dragon Boat Festival" in a place with a lot of rooms, a large open space for sports games, and many flowers and fruit trees in a few days. He was very happy.
Expectation and joy. And there is no doubt.
It's just that he couldn't figure out where he was going, and he didn't understand what the "Dragon Boat Festival" was. So when he drew pictures with other children in the kindergarten, he was ridiculed and beaten by everyone.
Some children said, "Is that a public institution where you are talking about? My dad is in the Workers' Club, and the open space there is huge..."
Some children said, "Your family probably goes to the park together, right? Taoranting or Zhongshan Park? It's so ridiculous, who hasn't been there?"
Some people even ridiculed, "Dragon Boat Festival? I've never heard of it. I'm still carrying a urinal. Zongzi? What is that? Made of glutinous rice? There are dates and bean fillings in it? Why does it sound more and more like cutting cakes?"
!”
In the end, everyone came to the unanimous conclusion that Hong Jun's talk was pure nonsense and outlandish! Everyone burst into laughter.
Hong Jun, on the other hand, was in trouble because of his youth.
And in this way, he couldn't help but become suspicious. Could it be that grandma could still lie to him?
It was with this or that mentality that the Hong family came to the Hong family's old house one after another on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Of course the first ones to come were Mr. and Mrs. Hong, Lu and Cheng. They packed up their things early in the morning and came first with food, drink and a large set of newly bought tableware.
Because after you get here, you still have to tidy up. Mop, wash, and see what is missing. You can go out for shopping temporarily.
Hong Lucheng really didn't expect that this house was so wonderfully renovated. Indeed, it had perfectly restored its old style. It looked like a new house. It was still plain and black, looking simple and elegant.
The most wonderful wall carvings "Picture of a Hundred Sons Playing" and the missing parts of the hollow flower carving wall have been made up. The window lattice of "Bu Bu Jin" and the door carvings of "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" are also newly made with exquisite craftsmanship.
Very much better than the craftsmen I found back then.
But these are nothing compared to the new attic.
The attic has three eaves and two floors. It faces south and faces north. It is surrounded by no walls and is independent in the center of the inner courtyard. It is still connected to the five main rooms through the verandah. The entire building is made of wooden structures that are tied to each other, with sixteen thick beams at the bottom.
Wooden pillar support.
The bottom floor is the dome of the dome and the eight trigrams. The four tall pillars in the middle lead directly to the top of the pavilion and connect the entire beam frame. It can be said that the structure is grand and the style is exquisite.
But the most important thing is not this, but that the brown wood color is very oily, and it actually has a golden effect when facing the sun. And when you are close, you can still smell the fragrance of the wood.
A closer look revealed that there was not a single painting in the entire attic, except for the wood carvings, which at most had only been "burned with wax".
At this time, Hong Lucheng felt that this building was probably made of golden nanmu. This is because the wood of golden nanmu is the highest decoration, which can never be matched by any artificial decoration. Except for this kind of wood building, it will
So pristine, like nothing else.
Can he still sit still? Unlike Wang Yunlin, who has always been in charge of internal affairs. In the past, he was responsible for dealing with construction factories and outside the home. How could he not know that aniseed golden nanmu has been used since the Qing Dynasty?
It has become extinct. No matter how hard you try, you can't figure out where Hong Yanwu got this kind of wood.
Okay, okay. Now the old man was completely shocked. He didn't help his wife at all after the call. He just wandered around here this morning, thinking about the attic.
In fact, he had something on his mind, but he didn't dare to tell Wang Yunlin. He was a little distracted even during lunch. Unfortunately, the door was locked, and he wanted to go in and take a look but couldn't.
When Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came back in the afternoon with a leg of lamb and a lot of vegetables, Hong Lucheng, who was already anxious, blocked them in the kitchen without waiting for his son to put down the things, and asked them about the wood first.
The son is here.
Hong Yanwu didn't hide anything, and told everything about what happened. Then he went to take out the certificates written by Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping.
After Hong Lucheng heard this bizarre incident and looked at the written evidence, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Isn't this strange? Hong Lucheng never expected that this town object that had guarded the east side of the capital for hundreds of years would become his attic by accident.
Besides, according to Hong Yanwu’s words, it’s not enough if we don’t use this wood, otherwise this “sacred tree” in the capital will be completely useless. This incident makes people wonder why it feels like “this is what fate is.”
But although the thing is a treasure, you can’t tell whether it’s a blessing or a curse, right?
Hong Lucheng's view is the same as that of Hong Yanwu. This "sacred tree" cannot be monopolized by one family. Furthermore, the saying that relying on this to keep a house safe and secure is just a folk legend and cannot be true. If it doesn't work well, it will be eaten in the future.
If you fail to pay, the trouble will continue. Can a family like theirs afford it?
So after thinking about it, Hong Lucheng told Hong Yanwu not to tell any family members about this matter, and not to make it public to the outside world. If someone asked and couldn't hide it, he would just say "Zhennan" was used.
In this way, the wood is reduced to the level of ordinary nanmu, which can always be confused and perfunctory.
Hong Yanwu nodded, but then he took his father to the attic. After unlocking the door and going in, Hong Lucheng discovered a large log pillar with a diameter of more than two meters on the first floor. The flat surface was enough to serve as a platform for sixteen people.
for dining table.
At this time, Hong Yanwu said again.
"Dad, look! This is the last log of the 'sacred tree'. Originally there was another log. Unfortunately, Wang Hanping, an old carpenter, cut it out and made a 'floor cover' and a 'shelf' in the house.
Bed. It must be that the bed is warm to sleep on in winter, so you want to reward me. If I hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have made even this furniture. So when you move in later, you can sleep on a bed made of golden nanmu.
, but don’t ask me where I came from again. If my mother wants to ask, she has to rely on you to cover her. I’ll let you know first..."
Hong Lucheng was speechless for a long time, looking at the only remaining log in front of him, and finally shook his head helplessly.
Hey, I really don’t know where this son was born. How come all evil things happened to him? No, this made him terrified again today!
Of course, it can't be said that he did something bad again. This is a matter of accumulating merit. If he doesn't do this, the treasure of the capital will be ruined.
In addition, who is so lucky to have a building built of "sacred wood" and sleep on a canopy bed made of golden nanmu?
But things in the world are hard to say. Sometimes things can be turned upside down due to rumors, and good people may not always be rewarded!
Moreover, a gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty of possessing a jade. It is precisely because these objects are so precious that he feels uneasy and uneasy!
Fortunately, my son is sensible and has no intention of taking this thing as his own. He is just doing it as a temporary measure. If he really wants the country to take care of it in the future, he can donate it to the country at worst.
Hey! In fact, compared with some "sacred tree" to control the house, having a safe family is the greatest blessing!
Completely different from the worried Hong Lucheng, Hong Yanru got out of school at 3:30 in the afternoon and went directly to the "Wanshou West Palace" kindergarten opposite the "140 Middle School" to pick up Hong Jun.
When they came here together, they were so happy.
