C18 Su Lao

If one were to say that the food and the wax color were the Twin Legacy of the Su Family Town, when Gu Shaoqiang walked into the Su Family Ancestral Hall, the gazes that had been glued to Wu Yuexi's body had finally shifted away. Along with Taro and Wei Xiaowu, they were both dumbfounded and dumbstruck at the same time.

Gu Shaoqiang estimated that the Ancestral Hall was about 700 square meters, it was a huge view, the gatehouse had a roof with a heavy eaves and a mountain, with seven faces wide, and two rooms deep. On the wooden sculpture's forehead was a picture of a carp jumping and a dragon's gate, and on the next carving was the three star map of Fu, Lu and Sheng.

Looking down at the carvings of flowers and birds on Xu Mi's throne, they were vivid and unique, giving one the impression of being in a world of flowers and birds. On both sides of the door, stone drums were facing each other, and above them hung the plaque "Su Clan Ancestral Temple".

On both sides, it was paved with blue slabs, a hard mountainous roof, an arched roof and an eave. The material used was huge, and the craftsmanship was exquisite. A "aristocratic family of Dao" board hung above the front of the building, and there was no stone beam, no flat plate, supporting ridge, or sparrow.

The stone inscriptions of the courtyard were even more exquisite. On the stone tablets were carved phoenix morning sun, pine crane year long, azaleas singing plum, and peonies rich and precious. The scene was elegant and vivid, as if it was a masterpiece that could take the heavens by force, causing one to be unable to forget about it.

The brothers who were sent to the hospital by the Su Family Town previously, upon thinking it over, Gu Shaoqiang felt that it was not wrong at all. Whoever had this kind of Ancestral Hall, would dare to come and collect the land, because Wu Yuexi seemed to be very familiar with every single plant here. On the way there, she would explain the history of the Su Family Town to them, including all the details of the local affairs.

After entering the Ancestral Hall, Wu Yuexi was even more familiar with it. After tidying up her clothes, she walked into the Central Palace with a smile on her face, inside, an old man with a feather duster was calmly sweeping up the ancestral tablets. He looked like a person of various heights and heights, and his body was extremely sturdy.

"Elder Su, are you alright?"

Wu Yuexi stood in front of the old man with his hands behind his back and asked with a mischievous smile.

"Oh, Yue Xi is coming. Good, very good. You can come. Even if my old bones aren't good, they will still be good. Hahaha."

"The old man laughed heartily, full of spirit and vigor." I saw it, I saw it, the photos you took of our Su Family Town and the articles you wrote, I saw it in the newspapers and on TV. I saw it, I saw it, the photos you took of our Su Family Town and the articles you wrote about it, I saw it in the newspapers and on television.

"It should be. Elder Su, you're too courteous. Oh, by the way, I even specially brought you medicine."

Wu Yuexi took out some medicine from her travel bag and handed it over to the old man. "This is the newest drug to treat asthma overseas. The effect is very obvious, I specifically asked my friend to buy it for you."

The old man smiled kindly, he turned and saw Gu Shaoqiang and the rest who were standing by the door.

"Who are these people?"

"They came to visit the Su Family Town, I met them on my way here, I will be their tour guide."

Wu Yuexi explained on the side.

"Alright, welcome, welcome. Hurry up and sit down."

The old man called out passionately, Wu Yuexi introduced him to Gu Shaoqiang and the others. This old man was called Su Mingsong, and at 78 years old, he was the oldest person in the Su Family Town, also the Patriarch of the Su Family.

Inside the sky well, Su Mingsong arranged for people to bring up fruits and tea. The sunlight shone down and shone warmly down on his body, Gu Shaoqiang took a deep breath, this place was really a good place, even with money, he would not be able to easily enjoy it.

After walking for half a day, his mouth was parched and his tongue was parched, the cup on the table was filled with water, Gu Shaoqiang did not hold back, he raised it and drank.

A spicy taste, burning from the tongue to the stomach. If not for him covering his mouth, he would have spat it out long ago.

"All the guests here are served with homemade white wine. Haha, you've only had one cup, so according to the customs, you must drink three cups. This is to show respect to you, and if you don't finish, you will look down on this place."

Seeing Gu Shaoqiang's situation, Wu Yuexi cheerfully explained.

Gu Shaoqiang could immediately tell that the alcohol in his stomach was at least 60 degrees, and he was drinking too fast and frowned and coughed a few times. Damn, this kind of person doesn't have a simple and honest personality, the 60 degrees of liquor was not even mixed with water, it was exactly the same as drinking wine, it was 3 cups right away, this was entertaining the customers, it was clearly asking for their lives.

"Please!"

Su Mingsong stroked his beard, and said with a face full of a polite smile. "I'm old, I'll drink with everyone if I'm 5 years younger."

Gu Shaoqiang's scalp was going numb, the taro was wolfing down the fragrant pear, Wei Xiaowu's face was pale as he shook his head continuously, and said softly.

"I... I don't know how to drink. "

"Don't f * cking talk about it. Three cups of wine, a greeting gift, no drink. If you don't drink it back, you will jump into the hole dug by Chu Yaonv."

Gu Shaoqiang muttered in a low voice, he raised the wrist sized cup of water and miserably smiled at Su Mingsong. Elder Su, let's do it first as a form of respect! "

Wei Xiaowu laughed as if he was drinking arsenic, and the last mouthful was forcefully gulped down by Gu Shaoqiang. The entire cup was as red as a monkey's butt, and he kept shaking his head, as if he had eaten a pill, afraid that Yue Yang would spew out the truth when he drank, so he casually picked up an orange and stuffed it into his mouth.

Youngster, you have a good appetite for alcohol, hahaha, the young people today are not simple, young people should be feared, and can drink even more than I did when I was young. This wine is called the Eight Immortals Drunk, the self-brewed earth wine is not as good as the ones in the city, but according to the legend, the Eight Immortals have wandered here, passed by the Su Family Town, smelled their wine, drank three cups and drank, and all of them were drunk.

Su Mingsong said with a smile. Wu Yuexi handed the peeled orange over to him and said seriously.

"Elder Su, after the article about the value of the Su Family Town's cultural heritage was reported in the media, it attracted a lot of attention in various aspects. The relevant departments have begun to re-evaluate the historical and cultural value of the Su Family Town, my friend in the government told me that the government is also very concerned about this matter, they have already set up a special investigation team, and will be coming to the Su Family Town soon. Also, my friends from abroad also reproduced my article, so many foreign tourists who are interested in the Su Family Town will be interested in visiting this place."

"Alright, alright. Oh, Yue Xi, I ?" I am already this old. In a few days, I should be going to meet with the ancestor. If the Su Family Town were to lose to me, Su Mingsong, how would I have the face to meet the ancestors? "

Su Mingsong held Wu Yuexi's hand with extreme excitement.

Gu Shaoqiang frowned, and asked.

"Miss Wu is... Is it a writer? "

"Journalist, if there's a path of injustice, just step on it."

Wu Yuexi lifted her head and replied with a smile.

Everyone is now in the eyes of the rich, for the sake of money, everyone can do anything they want. There are more than 300 people in Su Family Town, all of them have lived here for generations, but a few years ago there was a large company that used to work for real estate, they came here to buy land and the officials of the town took in a lot of money and worked from house to house, they said that they wanted to develop the Su Family Town, it was a good thing for them to let us sign contracts, it's good that they wanted to develop the Su Family Town. I was very happy to be able to see this place.

Gu Shaoqiang's heart skipped a beat. After all this time, he even said that Peach Blossom ran into a beauty, so he was here to cause trouble. No wonder the people from Su Family Town acted like they had eaten a heavy load and didn't move even after death.

"The one who bought the land here is Ninth Century?"

Gu Shaoqiang picked up an orange and tried to ask.

"Yes, what's this called ?" It's a big company in nine days. "

Su Mingsong said in exasperation.

"You also know about Ninth Century's purchase of Su Family Town?"

The reporter was a reporter, he was definitely more sensitive than anyone else. Wu Yuexi looked at Gu Shaoqiang with some vigilance.

"I know, of course I know."

Gu Shaoqiang smiled calmly. Who doesn't know about Ninth Century's purchase of Su Family Town? They bought the land three years ago and have yet to start construction. I heard that it was to build a high-end villa complex, so there was actually something else going on. "

In fact, it's not a bad thing to earn money here, it's not like the Ninth Century doesn't pay for the relocation fees, and the price is rather reasonable. Thinking about it, it's quite worth it, not to mention taking the money, in the next nine days they would split the houses according to the number of people, all of them would be high-rise elevator apartments, any of them would have 100 square meters, and it would be a centrally planned residential area with convenient access and perfect facilities, which is better than staying here.

The three cups of wine were not inedible to drink, and the plate in front of him was piled up like a hill, with a look of thoughtlessness on it.

Pow!

Su Mingsong slapped on the tea table. There were more than 70 people here, and his anger did not decrease at all.

This Su Family Town has more than 300 people who have lived here for a few lifetimes, and now they have to sell their land because they don't have money. They say they have to build some villas, and although they can clearly live in a place with more than 300 people, they can only let dozens of people live here. If they have money, they can just enjoy and occupy this place.

The oranges that had just been stuffed into his mouth were scared out of his wits by Su Mingsong. He did not dare to let out a breath, and timidly glanced at Gu Shaoqiang.

Gu Shaoqiang rubbed his forehead and sighed powerlessly, then suddenly realised that today's biggest mistake was bringing these two along. Although he had planned to go up the mountain and fight against the tigers, he never would have thought that Wu Yuexi would appear so suddenly, in the middle of her journey. Seeing how this tigress was acting beyond her expectations, she had thought to first stop, take a look at the situation, and then listen to what Wu Yuexi had just said, if she did not act, she might not have the chance to do so.

Gu Shaoqiang carelessly peeled the orange, and as he was thinking of a countermeasure, his gaze landed on a painting hanging in the ancestral hall, and the corner of his mouth slowly raised in confidence.
