Infrastructure masters in the red building

After Jia Fang recognized that facial expression, his heart almost collapsed.

Since he came to this time and space, he has been diligently rebuilding the Grand View Garden according to the requirements of the scroll.Probably because of the particularity of "time travel" itself, he seldom reflected on the "motivation" behind this incident, and seldom asked why.

Gradually, he realized that it was indeed as he had heard before "traversing", that this Grand View Garden is an unrivaled fairy garden, and Jia Fang himself has gradually found his place in this time and space, so even if he dreams back to him at midnight He will think about why he is here, but he has never questioned who is behind this scroll.

After all, it is indeed more "immortal" to leave blank books through scrolls.

But now when there is only a small blank space left on the scroll, Jia Fang asked casually, but the other party confessed, saying that he was not a god, and under Jia Fang's repeated questioning, he left a small expression .

"QAQ!"

—Contemporary partner?

Jia Fang felt that it was impossible. The promising young people of his generation were all living their wonderful lives in a down-to-earth manner. No one would think of making fun of his life!

But this expression was not only seen by Jia Fang, but also by Shuangwen and Li Qingsong.

Shuangwen pointed and asked, "Is this a sign? It looks like a crying little man."

Li Qingsong, who is a professional bilingual flatterer, nodded loudly: "It's quite similar."

As soon as the words fell, this small facial expression finally disappeared, replaced by a few consecutive words: "It is inconvenient to disclose!"

Jia Fang seemed to understand a little bit.

All along, the one who talked to him through the scroll was a mature and stable soul.Therefore, the words that appear on this scroll are often uttered elegantly, or are well-informed.Therefore, he never felt that there was anything wrong, and even felt that the "immortal" behind the scroll was quite down-to-earth.

As for when did he feel that something was wrong, it might have been since the last time when the scroll provided him with four options of ABCD - if it is a normal Chinese painting style, it should be at least "A, B, C, D", right? !

But the scroll gave him ABCD, and after a while, he answered the scroll's question correctly, and the other party dumped him a "Bingo".

The style of painting has indeed changed a bit violently.

But Jia Fang found his focus in Taoyuan Village, and also found out the meaning of living in this time and space.For a moment, he couldn't care less about considering the various possibilities behind this "change in painting style".

It wasn't until today that he realized that something was wrong, but after the other party's painting style aroused his suspicion, the previous style suddenly returned.

Jia Fang faced the scroll silently.

"I should have the right to know." What he said, Shuangwen and Li Qingsong beside him couldn't quite understand.

"Can--"

There is only this word on the scroll, without any details, but it can roughly be regarded as a promise.

Jia Fang thought for a while, and finally asked again: "'Aujing Pavilion' and 'Tubi Mountain Villa', I have given away these two names. These two places will not appear in the Grand View Garden in the future."

Jia Fang has made up his mind not to build in the Grand View Garden. up.As long as he has participated in the restoration of buildings, he is looking forward to a satisfactory result.

"random--"

These two words appeared again on the scroll.But when the last tick of the word "Yi" disappeared from the blank space, this small blank space was quickly "filled" by a water surface near the lotus root.

Jia Fang raised his head.

Shuangwen was beside him, and asked anxiously, "Third Master, what does this mean?"

Jia Fang stretched out his hand and gently placed the entire scroll on the table, saying: "After several years of hard work, we will soon witness the results. When the two places of Changcui Temple and Nuanxiangwu are completed, the whole garden will be completed. .”

"Really?" Shuangwen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great!"

She smiled a little.

Jia Anxin thought: This is natural, everyone is eager to achieve, and the garden that has spent several years of hard work, everyone hopes to see the head and the result.

But what does it mean for him?

It was planned earlier that once he finished building this "Peerless Fairy Garden", he would retire and return to the modern society to continue his "great" future in the firm.

But now, at the back of this scroll, there will be an unreliable cutie who uses facial expressions?

Can he go back—and, in this time and space, what will happen to his true love and bond... him, them?

In other words, Quicui Temple and Nuanxiangwu are both Zen and Buddhist buildings.In the original book, the owners of these two buildings, one is a monk with hair, and the other is a monk who is often accompanied by the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.Does this also indicate that Jia Fang will be a loner in the future, facing the mysterious dry mountains and rivers, letting his feelings and life gradually die out in this abstract silence.

But facing Shuangwen and Li Qingsong, Jia Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes! Everyone, work harder. You will soon see the whole picture of Xiucheng."

Everyone needs inspiration.Seeing Li Qingsong giggling, Shuangwen rolled up his sleeves, picked up the scroll and was ready to trace the pattern.Seeing them so energetic, Jia Fang was very happy for them.

And he is also such a person, he doesn't like to procrastinate things, even if the result may not be satisfactory, he still wants to face the result bravely.

"Please remember Your Excellency's promise." Jia Fang looked at the scroll in Shuangwen's hand and said silently.

After that, he put aside the shock brought to him by the scroll, and turned to consider the two buildings of Quicui Temple and Nuanxiangwu.

The first thing he thought of was the functional projection of these two buildings in Taoyuan Village: Needless to say, Quicui Temple is a Buddhist building.Generally speaking, in the pattern of ancient Chinese cities, there will be a building of this type. In addition to allowing residents to place their faith, it is often used as a place for public activities, such as holding temple fairs and holding some celebrations.

This type of public building was an integral part of ancient city life.

It is said that there is already such a building in Taoyuan Village - Xianliang Temple.

But the disadvantage of the Xianliang Temple is that it is a bit far away from the lives of the villagers in Taoyuanzhai—it was built by His Majesty the Emperor to secretly commemorate King Qing Xiang Fengyi.In Taoyuan Village, except for a few old people like Village Chief Tao, no one else knows who Xiang Fengyi is or where his virtue is.

In addition, the Xianliang Temple is the exit of the ground whip.Therefore, Jia Fang suppressed its use to a certain extent. After all, he didn't want anyone to run to the Xianliang Temple anytime and be frightened by seeing the use of the ground whip.

According to the projective relationship between Grand View Garden and Taoyuan Village, Jia Fang must consider building a religious building similar to Quicui Temple to satisfy the mapping relationship between the two places.

Jia thought at ease: It seems that he has never asked his villagers about their beliefs.Whether they believe in gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, or the Supreme Lord, Jia Fang has no idea at all.

Moreover, since Taoyuan Village was formed, he had never seen the villagers worshiping the gods. It seemed that when something happened, the chances of coming to him, Jia Fang, were higher.

Jia Fang was ashamed for a moment thinking of this - how could he be compared with gods and Buddhas?

Taoyuanzhai's existence today is due to the efforts of the villagers themselves. He just came up with ideas from the sidelines, so he is really embarrassed to take credit for it.Jia Fang thought: If it is not possible, we can build a ancestral hall for all the villagers.Even if you don’t have religious beliefs, you can worship your ancestors and pray for good weather, so that the villagers have a sustenance!

As for Nuanxiangwu, Jia Fang was even more clueless.But he remembered one thing, according to the records in the original book, the paintings about the Grand View Garden should have been painted in Nuanxiangwu.

Jia Fang patted his head and remembered that he had to remember to ask Shuangwen to arrange more calligraphy and paintings in the room when repairing Nuanxiangwu, so as to add a bit of leisure and leisure from literati to this "Nuanxiangwu".

Shuangwen wrote down Jia Fang's advice one by one, then made a list and asked Li Qingsong to pass it to the shopkeeper of the familiar shop.

"Remember to mention, try to find some cheap ones for us, cheap and good." Shuangwen taught Li Qingsong to write it down.

The construction of the Grand View Garden has come to an end, and Jia Fang left tens of thousands of taels of silver, but there is not much left.It can be seen that repairing gardens is simply a money-sucking business.Fortunately, Jia Fang's ticket number for depositing money was greeted in advance by the superiors, not only gave Jia Fang a very favorable interest rate, but also used the money to generate a lot of money for him over the years, which made the construction of the Grand View Garden so secure. keep it up.

Now Jia Fang himself said that there are only two places to be built.Shuangwen withdrew all the balance in Tonghui Bank for the last two expenses.

Although there is no shortage of money, Shuangwen still counts carefully and saves as much as possible.

Li Qingsong let out an "ah", and didn't forget to tell the shopkeepers of those calligraphy, painting and antique shops.

The next day, the family's things were delivered to the Rong Mansion, and Shuangwen took out the calligraphy and paintings one by one to look at them, and sighed again: "Huh?"

Li Qingsong was always on call and would never be absent, so he hurriedly looked over at this moment: "Sister Shuangwen, what's wrong?"

Shuangwen stared blankly at the inscription on the painting.

"Shan Ziye!" Li Qingsong followed suit, "Oh, it's my sister's..."

Li Qingsong put his hands together quickly, and bowed twice in front of the painting.

Shuangwen said with emotion: "This is really a coincidence."

Li Qingsong said: "Probably because we specified that we wanted cheap and good calligraphy and painting. The treasurer of the calligraphy and painting shop went to find them according to this standard, and it is estimated that they could only find relatively recent ones. Lingzu's paintings are wonderful, so I gave them to us. Sent here..."

Shuangwen nodded: "It should be like this."

She just regarded it as a coincidence, and put the matter of finding her grandfather's painting behind her for the time being.Unexpectedly, it didn't take long to accept several works of Shan Ziye one after another.

This time even Li Qingsong became suspicious, and asked, "Sister Shuangwen, is this real... Ling Zu's work?"

Shuangwen nodded, and said: "Yes, I can recognize all the strokes of my grandfather. There are even two pictures here. I have some impressions. I should have seen it at home when I was a child..."

"Qingsong, please go and ask the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop for me, and ask him where did he get these paintings from?"

Li Qingsong was eager to help his Sister Shuangwen with something, so he responded immediately, hurriedly went to ask, and hurried back, saying: "The shopkeeper said that there are several generations of Beijing officials in Beijing. Now Letting him out as a foreigner, he wanted to rent out the house in Beijing, so he caged all the calligraphy and paintings at the bottom of the box and handed them over to a painting and calligraphy shop for sale."

"The shopkeeper thought the price was fair and suitable for our family's garden, so he sent it. But he said it's okay if he doesn't want it, anyway, it's just someone else's deposit."

Shuangwen, however, was unwilling to send it back, and quickly shook his head holding the scrolls, "I've got them all, I've got them all down."

Having said that, Shuangwen still has some doubts.Which official would be so rare about his grandfather's paintings, he hid a lot of them as soon as he hid them, and now he discards them like shoes and puts them on consignment outside?

But she was still a little unwilling. Now that there is a channel to take back all of her grandfather's paintings, why don't she try to take back her father's?

So, Shuangwen wrote a name on the paper and handed it to Li Qingsong: "Please ask the shopkeeper, if you can receive this person's paintings, please also send them along, and I will accept them all according to the price."

Li Qingsong didn't know so much, he took the name "Ai", answered and went.

Shuangwen was holding a bit of sadness, looking at Li Qingsong's back, thinking: Silly boy, I told you my surname as an unmarried body.

Within two days, Li Qingsong actually brought back a box.Surprised, she opened the double texts and looked at them one by one, all of them were meticulous paintings of flowers, birds and beauties—these were indeed paintings by her biological father.

Back then, her father, with these paintings, was not shocking, but his painting skills were quite satisfactory, and he became a court painter.

But she, relying on similar skills, struggled in Jiaofang Division, trying to preserve her innocence.

Shuangwen opened his eyes wide and watched for a long time without a single tear.

But Jia Fang has already arrived in Taoyuan Village, interviewing his villagers randomly.

"My fellow, do you believe in gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? Do you worship the Supreme Lord? Do you ask God?"

The villager was on his way to the Taoyuan Station of the "Taoyuan-Wuyuan" railway, when he heard Jia Fang's question, he turned around in astonishment.Judging by the villagers' expressions, if it wasn't because they recognized Jia Fang, they would have regarded Jia Fang as a magic stick and reported it to the inspection team.

"Master Jia, I have no time, really no time." The villager hurriedly answered Jia Fang as he walked.

Jia Fang let out an "oh", stood still, and felt that he had made a mistake in choosing interviewees, and he should find some less busy people who have time to answer questions and understand the situation.

Who knew that the villager would not forget to wave his hand to clarify to Jia Fang even though he was far away, saying: "It's not that I don't have time to pay attention to you, it's that I don't have time to believe this or that."

Jia Fang suddenly realized that this person was busy with business all day long, and had no time to pray to God and Buddha.

But it's also - everyone in his Taoyuan village has full enthusiasm for construction, not only for the entire village, but also for their own small family.You guys work twelve hours a day. According to the "official" standard, in addition to working for four hours, many people will choose to do one or two more hours of work, one or two hours to go to Xiaoxiang Academy to study and study, and then eat, drink and sleep for four hours. hour.

Twelve hours in a day are used up cleanly, so how can we bother to pray to God?is that useful?Can knowledge be increased?Can circulation coupons be increased?

Jia Fang thought about it: This kind of time awareness is actually quite simple, simple and practical.

Could it be for this reason that the people of Taoyuan Village never consider these issues of belief?

Jia Fang thought about it: No, normally twelve hours a day is used cleanly, but what about rest days?

Taoyuan Village has already introduced the concept of rest days - the people here still follow the calendar promulgated by the imperial court, with [-] days as January and a month in leap year.Taoyuan Village set the first day, seventh day, fifteenth day, and twenty-third day as rest days.Although the distribution is not uniform, it is more appropriate as a rest day because the two days of the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year are prone to various festivals.

In addition, there are three major festivals of Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will also be a day off.

During these four days, the factories were shut down, but catering companies and small businesses were allowed to open as usual, and so did Taoyuanji.Xiaoxiang Academy also has additional cram schools for villagers who are usually not free.

At the same time, Cuju league games are usually held during these days; Yihongyuan's performances and antiphonal performances are also arranged on rest days.

Therefore, even small business owners who want to make money will try their best to let themselves rest for a day or two for these cultural and sports activities.

Some people simply list their names to avoid business, and some people find trusted partners or friends to lead the class. In short, this rest day is quite popular in Taoyuan Village.

During the rest day, do the people in Taoyuanzhai not consider the issue of belief at all?

With this question in mind, Jia Fang planned to take a rest day and randomly interview the people in Taoyuan Village again.It just so happened that Tian Shuixian came back this day and took Jia Fang to watch the "derby" battle between Taoyuanzhai's two teams in the Cuju League.

The two walked along the high-grade highway with the villagers who went to watch the game to the Cuju field located in the mountain depression. Jia Fang asked a few villagers who were on the way.

"Bye!" One of the immigrants from Yujiang replied naturally.

Jia Fang breathed a sigh of relief, so far he finally felt that his villager painting style was a little more normal.

"Worship everything!" Jia Fang was shocked by the villager's next sentence.

"Worship everything?"

"Yes, the Bodhisattva also worshiped, and the old gentleman also worshiped. At the beginning, some people said that the ignorant immortal can cure the bloating disease. Didn't we send all the money? So what in the end, is it all in vain?"

Jia Fang suddenly realized: it turned out to be the reason.These villagers are all pragmatic people. They worshiped everywhere, but they couldn't save the lives of those closest to them. The disappointment and pain may have affected the concept of these villagers.

He still clearly remembered that when Zhang Youshi said that the bloating disease could be cured, the villagers from Yujiang bowed to Zhang Youshi together.

In this way, the villagers in Taoyuanzhai do not actually worship Zhang Youshi, but medicine, which can relieve their pain and save their lives.

Jia Fang seemed to understand a little bit.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a young freshman came across from the slant, and said to Jia Fang: "Teacher Gui of Xiaoxiang Academy said that you are not allowed to worship indiscriminately, and most of the immortals or witches are tricks done by others to deceive you." Money. It freezes in summer, and the clear water turns red instantly... Most of these can be explained by scientific principles.”

After the fourth prince agreed to his various "harsh" conditions, Gui Xiaxue finally left for Beijing, leaving his team to continue various researches in Taoyuan Village.But Jia Fang still heard people in Taoyuan Village mentioning that Mr. Gui is the elder and Mr. Gui is the shortest.

"Teacher Gui also said that seeing is believing. If you have never seen a god and Buddha with your own eyes, you should not believe it casually, let alone kneel down to believe in it. It's boring!"

Young people say the same thing.Jia Fang's face was slightly flushed by what he said, and Shui Xian nudged him with his elbow, with a narrow smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered in his ear: "Look at what he said."

Unexpectedly, the next moment, this bragging young man was immediately arrested and said: "Do you know who this is? You just came to our Taoyuan Village, so you should be more careful when you speak... This is Mr. Jia! Without Mr. Jia, there would be no village of ours, no Xiaoxiang Academy, and no teacher Gui would come to teach..."

The young man opened his mouth wide and looked at Jia Fang.Jia Fang guessed that he came from other places to work in various factories in Taoyuan Village, but Taoyuan Village treated these "immigrant population" equally, and has been working hard to find some good seedlings among them.The young man in front of him is probably one of these "good seedlings".

"I understand what you mean," Jia Fang went up and patted the young man's shoulders in a friendly manner, "But I'm just asking about everyone's situation, not trying to persuade everyone to worship the Bodhisattva or Laojun. If everyone goes Become a monk, or all go to practice Taoism..."

Shui Xian coughed loudly beside him twice.Jia Fang: ... Embarrassing!

"...Then who will build this Taoyuan village?" He told the whole story anyway.

"Isn't it?" Several villagers walking near Jia Fang said loudly together: "To be honest, it's better to believe in our third master Jia than to believe in those. Worshiping Bodhisattva is worse than worshiping..."

Jia Fang's hand was already shaking: "No, no, no..."

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly changed his words cunningly, and said: "It's better to listen to Mr. Jia give us more lessons, and talk about getting rich hahahaha..."

The others laughed together when they heard the sound, and Shui Xian was among them.

When I was young, I went to the big stadium where the Cuju competition was held.The stadium has now been expanded a lot, and it can accommodate 7000 spectators, and the scene is noisy.

At this time, the villagers who presided over the commentary of the normal game took out a loudspeaker. At this time, Gui Xiaxue had just developed a new product before leaving, and even applied for patents in Taoyuanzhai and Wuyuan County.The villagers in Taoyuanzhai call it "Shoulder Gong".

The principle of this thing is very simple. It is to convert the voice of the commentator into an electromagnetic signal, and then amplify the electromagnetic signal through a loudspeaker, and then play it on the speaker, so that it becomes a sound that everyone can hear clearly.

At this time, the commentator held the microphone in his hand, and solemnly said to the thousands of spectators present: "Today, we are very fortunate to have invited Jia Fang and Mr. Jia to watch the game of the big guys. We have invited Mr. Jia to come Tell everyone a few words!"

Jia Fang was completely unprepared for this, staring for a while, not knowing what to say.

Unexpectedly, the applause in the arena rang out at this time, and the waves were higher than the waves.The players who were ready for the game also lined up and applauded Jia Fang.

Jia Fang had never experienced his popularity in Taoyuan Village like this before, so he was a little excited at the moment.

He first said something on the scene, and then changed the subject, mentioning the conversation he had with the villagers on the road when he came here just now.Jia Fang said with a lot of emotion: "The one just said that without me, Jia Fang, there would be no Taoyuan Village."

Hearing what Jia Fang said, the whole stadium fell silent, listening to Jia Fang's statement quietly.

"But in fact, I want to say, folks, my friends, you should thank yourself!"

"It is because of you that the current Taoyuan Village exists. Everything here comes from your labor and dedication."

"You are the masters here. You own this village."

"I originally thought about building an ancestral hall or a temple in this village for you to worship your ancestors and gods... But now that I think about it, what you should be most grateful for and worship is You are right!"

As soon as Jia Fang finished speaking, there was endless applause in the whole Cuju arena.Almost every villager present stood up from his seat, clapped warmly at Jia Fang, his palms turned red...

Looking at these people in front of him, Jia Fang couldn't help but feel emotional, and couldn't help thinking, what kind of temple or ancestral hall is he building here? It is the right answer for him to build a monument belonging to the working people.
