Gu Jingting heard, but shook his head, smile clear, "get off the plane to prepare a gift is not late, she is not picky."
It turns out that when I see my elders, Lin's heart is more and more bottomless. The first impression of her elders is that they are difficult to get along with.
After landing, it took more than five hours to get to the destination by car.
They set out in the evening and got off in the early morning.
The car is parked in front of a narrow alley. Lin Yi's high-heeled shoes are stepping on the blue slate road. In the morning, the whole town is shrouded in the mist, which is a kind of hazy, unreal feeling. The winding water, the ancient stone arch bridge, the weeping willow beside the stream and the wild flowers everywhere, the scenery in front of us looks like a still picture.
"Here is it?" Lin may ask.
"Suzhen. Here is the ancestral home of the Jiang family. " Gu Jingting explained, took her hand and walked up the bluestone road.
After stepping on the steps and passing through the narrow alley, Lin also found that there was something else in the alley. Four in house, antique, looks like it has been some years. But the building of the house is all exquisite. There are carved beams and painted columns on the door beam. Even the two stone lions at the door are superior jade seeds, which shows the valuable identity of the owner of the house.
"This is Jiang's ancestral home." Gu Jingting said, explaining: "this ancestral house has a history of more than 100 years, and the ancestral hall of the Jiang family is just behind the ancestral house. It's said that there were more than ten Jinshi in Jiang's ancestry, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the government was corrupt and the Jiang's family didn't want to be an official.
The first school in Suzhen was funded and built by Jiang's family. The children of the whole town are studying there. It can be said that the readers in the town are all students of the Jiang's family, and the Jiang's family has a high prestige in the local area.
In the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China, my grandfather left here to teach in Tsinghua University. Later, he entered the Research Institute and published many important academic works. He was a famous scholar at that time.
Later, Jiang's family left here one after another and moved to city a to settle down. Only every winter, my mother will come back to recuperate. It is surrounded by mountains and green all the year round. "
"Isn't Suzhen so beautiful that it doesn't develop tourism?" Lin also can not understand the inquiry, if it is a tourist resort, wave after wave of tourists every day, do not want to be clean, also not suitable for recuperation.
"This place is remote and has not developed tourism resources." Gu Jingting finished, holding her by one hand, holding out the other hand to button the door.
Later, two heavy bronze wooden doors were inlaid with a gap, revealing a chubby round face.
"Sister Jiang." Gu Jingting said hello, and then introduced to Lin Yiyi, "this is sister Jiang, a distant relative of the family, who has been their husband and wife's care ancestral home for many years."
"Sister Jiang." Lin also called out sweetly. The curved eyebrows and eyes were very pleasing.
"Jing Ting is back with his wife. Come in. Cousin must be happy to know that you are back. " Jiang's face was full of laughter. He warmly opened the door and invited them in.
At this time, Mrs. Gu is listening to the records in the hall of the ancestral house, an old gramophone, but the sound quality is not bad.
Mrs. Gu was surprised to see Gu Jingting leading Lin to the door. Then she smiled gently, "why don't you come here and say hello in advance? I'm too old to stand your young people's surprise."
Gu Jingting came to her with a smile and held her shoulders affectionately. "I miss you all of a sudden, so I'll take Xiao Ke to have a look."
"Hello, aunt." Lin can also stand in front of Mrs. Gu and say hello with a smile. In fact, Mrs. Gu's grade is enough to be her grandmother, but her seniority should not be disordered. Gu Jingting's mother, of course, should call her aunt.
Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded. She had seen Lin Yiyi once. She was still impressed by this well-educated girl. "Miss Lin, please take a seat."
Lin can also sit on the pear tree seat beside, not casually.
She doesn't know Mrs. Gu well, and her temper is not clear. It's easy to say more wrong. It's better for her to be quiet and smart.
Mrs Gu's eyes looked at her quietly, obviously very satisfied. "You haven't had breakfast yet. I'll be with you."
Mrs. Gu stood up slowly from her position, and Lin could also follow her up with great vision, and skillfully supported her arm. She was not overly enthusiastic, but her behavior was very proper.
Mrs Gu is more and more satisfied. Gently patted her hand and said: "millet town is relatively closed. There is nothing delicious. All the local dishes are prepared for breakfast. Try them."
"I heard Jingting say that the mountain bamboo shoots in Suzhen are particularly delicious." Lin Yiyi said.
"Well, local people can't do without mountain bamboo shoots for breakfast. Jiang Ya's skill is even better." Mrs Gu said with a smile.
Jiang Ya is sister Jiang's nickname.
"Then I have a good fortune." Lin can also smile. She looks like a little greedy cat with curved eyes and eyebrows. She has a playful look and no surprise to amuse Mrs. Gu.
The restaurant is next to the main hall, and the food has already been put on the table. This kind of family with history is very particular. The dishes, chopsticks, plates and dishes are all top-grade Bone China, and the exquisite ones are like works of art.
Lin also felt that if you eat with such exquisite tableware, you will be full if you don't eat.
A breakfast, the atmosphere is very harmonious.
After dinner, Mrs. Gu told sister Jiang to take Gu Jingting and Lin to go around.
Elder sister Jiang led them out and walked down the Qingshiban road. As they walked, Gu Jingting asked about Mrs Gu's recent physical condition.
"Aunt Biao has been in good condition here. She gets up early and listens to the records for a while, then sits in the yard to catch the sun. In the afternoon, she will go around and occasionally visit relatives and neighbors. She has three meals a day and goes to bed at nine o'clock in the evening. As long as there is no one who cares for the family to add blocking, cousin's life is comfortable. "
When sister Jiang mentioned caring for her family, her tone was full of disdain. "Our Jiang family has been famous for a hundred years, and the old man is also a leading figure in the academic circle. It's just a nouveau riche who can't stand on the table. He has a few stinking money and really considers himself a famous family. "
Jiang said angrily, holding Lin Yi's hand, and continued: "Miss Lin, you don't think our place is small. Every family knows the truth. If a man or woman of any family goes astray in marriage, it will be drowned by spitting star. The mayor is entitled to drive him out of soju. It's not as shameless as Gu's family. The illegitimate son even brought it home in a bold way. My boo! "
After listening, Lin Yi nodded his approval. She has an impulse to settle down in soju.
Sister Jiang led them along the Bank of the river. This winding River encircles the whole town of Su. The river is clear and bottomed out. You can even see the fish at the bottom of the river.
All the way, the people they met would take the initiative to say hello to sister Jiang, which was enough to see that she did not boast, and the local people really respected the Jiang family.
When passing a high gate courtyard, a woman called sister Jiang to dry fish together, and she left them behind.
