C38 The Church's Streets Were Visited by Tong Xian

When the summer sun shone on the wide river surface of Nanxi River, the morning sunlight in Baiou City also shone brightly on the tall and long window of the West City Christian Hall. At this moment, the young Wang Nanyuan stood in front of the west gate of the West City Cathedral, sitting east and west. She looked up at the tall red cross under the blue sky and white clouds.

Wang Nanyuan thought: What kind of naughty and happy childhood did Grandpa Edward, whom she had always respected, have in White Crow City? How did he lose his footing in the Ou River because of his naughty and happy life? How did he become an unexplainable friend of the Wang Family? How did he become an unresolved friend of the masters of the various Ou River families in the Nanxi River?

Aiwa, who was personally rescued by Wang Nanyuan's great-grandfather, Wang Yujie, was the son of the English missionary, Hua Lianshi, who had preached in the city for nearly 30 years. Under the guidance of his step-father, Lin Changcheng, Wang Nanyuan began to remember things. He had a strong interest in this Hua Lianshi missionary. He went to many places in the library and churches, and searched for a large amount of literature. He found that this Hualian had almost no traces of him in the recent history of China, but. . . However, he found out in many documents in England, Canada, and many other places that this Hualian scholar was an amazing person. During his time in China, he had interacted with Yan Fu, Wang Wei, Cai Yuanpei, Wu Peifu, Gu Jigang, Ding Wenjiang, Huang Yanpei, Weng Binsun, and many other famous people at that time. His life trajectory had directly or indirectly changed the fate of a group of important figures.

The well-preserved and extraordinary cathedral in front of Wang Nanyuan was not built by even Huashi's missionary. Before him, it was a British archbishop called Li Qinghua who came to Baiou City to preach. In 1878, a church was built in the West District. However, in 1884, there was a famous "A Proclamation" in White House City. The cathedral was turned into ashes overnight.

The Western City Cathedral in front of Wang Nanyuan was rebuilt in the hands of Linhua's missionary.

That day was Sunday, and the priest in the Church of the West City was giving a speech. Wang Nanyuan pushed open the door of the cathedral, not daring to disturb the priest and church members who were giving a speech in the spacious chapel.

Walking around the chapel, Lui Ye, who was walking in front, turned around and quietly waved at Wang Nanyuan and Nanyu Xin. It turned out that Lui Ye'er saw a stone tablet. It was inscribed with the words "Rebuilding the Temple Monolith. " A few words. Wang Nanyuan knew that this was the monument carved by the most famous mason in the city of Baiu when Aiwa's father, Priest Lian Hua, went through great pains and hardships to rebuild the Western City Cathedral.

Looking at the monument, Lin Changcheng's step-father, Lin Changcheng, told Wang Nanyuan everything about the West City Cathedral and the Lianxia couple in Bai Wu City.

When Lian Huashi had just arrived in Bai Wu City, because there was already a missionary called Li Qinghua, In addition, this new Lian Huashi priest treated people nicely, so people no longer treated this successor of "Blue-eyed Red Beard" as a monster. But. . . When his young wife followed him from England all the way to Baiu City, it once again aroused the huge curiosity of Baiu City. As a result, some hooligans wanted to unveil this British bride's high skirt, wanting to know if she was wearing nothing inside.

However, it was these two mysterious "foreigners," They allowed the old residents of Baiu City to witness the delicious sausages, toffee, and sardines in Oxford. They also witnessed the miraculous effects of Quining and Argentina. Even Huashi himself did not expect that a missionary like him. . . Because he had cured the neighbor's malarrhea and cold with Quining and Argentina, he had also helped a family disciple, Mr. Ding, get rid of his drug addiction. And because he knew how to pull out his teeth and fix them, he had become a famous doctor from far away. A patient with leprosy called Saburo actually crawled over a hundred miles to seek treatment. And so, this British bride, who wore a high skirt, and her priest husband, came together. They opened the first Western medicine clinic in Baiu City - the Bard Hospital. They also opened a smokeless clinic.

In his own hospital, Wang Nanyuan's great-grandfather, Wang Yujie, received the grandest gratitude from a "foreigner" priest in China: Kneel and kowtow! Because this legendary craftsman of the Land of Ouyue had saved their precious son!

Standing in the courtyard of the western cathedral, Wang Nanyuan seemed to see the moment when Priest Lian Huashi and the Wang family's "Wangshi Hall" formed a bond. But. . . He still couldn't understand why when Alward left China that year. . . Was this person who saved the people of Baiu City, organized schools, rescued the wounded and rescued the dead, and was open-minded and benevolent? Could it be that he had come to China for the sake of accumulating wealth?

Wang Nanyuan was deep in thought, but Luye'er pulled Nanyu Xin to the Gospel Hall at the back. For some reason, Luye'er felt that there was a pair of eyes following them all of a sudden. She turned her head abruptly, but found nothing.

It was almost noon. Wang Nanyuan searched for a long time before he found her and Nanyu Xin. "My stomach is rumbling. Even God heard it, didn't you hear it? Quickly go to Hua Xiaomeng's shop in the city and take a look. I haven't tasted that drunk plain noodle soup yet! Of course, of course, you must remind me to go to their kitchen to see how thick the chopping board is. Is it as thick as Hua Xiaomeng's skin!?"

Luye'er teased," Only when you're sitting on the moon will you drink the plain noodle soup. Do you want to sit on the moon? "

Wang Nanyuan said, "Then you should sit on the moon quickly. I can drink the vegetable broth every day!"

Asparagus laughed and chased after Wang Nanyuan. Nanyu Xin saw some clues and felt happy in her heart. However, she didn't say anything. As soon as she stepped out of the cathedral, she turned to the right. She said to her brother and Ariel, "Don't worry about Vegetable Broth for now. I'll take you to a place. "

After walking for a few dozen meters on West City Street, Nan Yuxin took the two of them and made another turn. At the end of the alley in front of them, there were four words, "elbow alley. " Nan Yuan smiled when he saw it and said, "There's such a fun place to call!"

However, he did not know that in this strange alley, the ancestor of one of the five craftsmen of Wu Yue - Master Huang Yang Wood Carving, Ye Hang, and the words "Tong Xian Chee-ker Mansion" were clearly carved on the tall door of the Ye family's mansion - "Tong Xian Chee-ker Mansion. "

Ye Hang's carving skills were superb. He had the heart of a Bodhisattva who gave away his son. He especially liked children, and people called them "Tong Xian. " His Yellow Yang wooden sculpture, Little Boy Play Mi Le. He vividly portrayed the expressions of children. When he participated in the South Pacific Expedition Competition, He won the Excellent Award, and later on, he won the Award for the Award for the Award for the Award for the Award for the Award for the Award for the Award. Later, he was recommended to participate in the Panama World Expo and won the Silver Award. From then on, The Huang Yang wood carving of the Ye family was famous.

When Nan Yuxin was young, her mother often took her to the Ye family's mansion as a guest. The Chee-ker Mansion in Baiwu City sat in the north facing south. The entire mansion was surrounded by four walls, forming a large closed courtyard. What left the deepest impression on Nan Yuxin was a hexagonal pavilion in the courtyard. Ordinary pavilions were either hexagonal or octagonal. The number of pavilions was always the same, but the one in the Ye family was not. It is actually a triangular-shaped pavilion, a triangular-sided wooden frame. Inside the pavilion was a triangular shaped skyflower. The entire pavilion was lightly leaning against a green brick wall. There was another difference from other pavilions. The ground of the pavilion was actually paved with the rare quartz from back then. It could be seen that Master Wu Craftsman, Ye Hang, had very high requirements for the exquisite materials and workmanship of the Chee-ker Mansion. Just like his requirements for his craftsmanship.

Nanyu gently knocked on the door of "Tong Xian Chee-ker Mansion. " With a male voice, the heavy wooden door opened with a creak. Nanyu, Wang Nanyuan, and Luye'er were all shocked. The one who opened the door was actually Chee-ker!

Finally, Ye also found it strange. "Why are you here?"

"We were just about to ask you!" Hearing Wang Nanyuan's question, a flame of anger rose in Chee-ker's heart. "This is the Ye family's ancestral house. Can't I go home? Do I need you to sign and approve it?"

Nanyu gently pulled on Ye's sleeve and said softly, "It's rare to meet you in the city. We need to talk amicably!" The nameless fire in Ye Mo's heart immediately extinguished like a cool breeze. He shook his head and said, "Let's go in!"

After walking around in Tong Xian's house for a while, she said, "It's time for dinner. Let's go to Hua Dali for dinner. "

The four of them went out of Tong Xian's house, turned around the elbow alley, and went back to the old restaurant of Hua Dali Restaurant on West Street.

When they stepped into the old restaurant of "Hua Daliao Restaurant," the asparagus noticed that the atmosphere in the restaurant was not right. After taking a careful look, a customer sat alone at a large dining table in the center of the restaurant. The other customers on the other tables all looked at the big table. What exactly were they looking at?
