Chapter 153 154 The astonished Jian Zhe, setting the

East City on fire The weather in Xiangcheng was not cold, and Director Chen rolled up his sleeves.

Very down-to-earth.

Ning Xiao and Tang Ming both gave Director Chen face and went in to praise his fish.

Only Jian Zhe stood in front of the steps. He looked at the old man squatting next to Director Chen, very hesitant, even fantasy, and was a little afraid to go in.

"This classmate," Shen Qing saw Jian Zhe holding a bag in one hand and a schoolbag in the other hand, and smiled: "Aren't you coming in?"

"Ah..." Jian Zhe came back to his senses.

He had never seen the old elder in the family, but his father and his grandfather would always mention the elders at the dinner table, saying that they were the light of the Jian family.

It can be said that the younger generation in the family have seen the official pictures of Jiangjing Conservatory of Music.

Jian Zhe is not face-blind, but the serious scholar's face -

now squatting casually in front of the fish placed on the ground in the yard, wearing a pair of handmade cloth shoes with yellow mud dots printed on them.

Compared with the image of the aloof president of Jiangjing Conservatory of Music, it is too disparate.

Even though the face looks the same, Jian Zhe did not dare to recognize it for a while.

As for Jian Zhongyou, he did not know anyone in the Jian family, but he felt that the young man had been looking at him for too long and did not take it to heart.

"Xiaohan likes fish head hot pot the most." Shen Qing said to Bai Di who came back.

Bai Rui put down her schoolbag and explained to Shen Qing: "She went to see Grandpa Tao. A TV station interviewed Grandpa Tao today, and she went to help Grandpa Tao to tidy up his image."

After Grandpa Tao's puppet show became popular, many big V bloggers were trying to take advantage of this wave of popularity.

The TV station was alarmed and wanted to give Grandpa Tao a special interview.

At this point, Bai Rui suddenly remembered, and she went to Jian Zhongyou: "There is a traditional town here. The street inside is full of small stalls, and there are old-fashioned martial arts halls, sugar painting, puppet shows... Do you want to go there later?"

She remembered that Jian Zhongyou was here for tourism.

"Okay," Jian Zhongyou was not really here for tourism, but since he was here, "I'll go and take a look."

The two talked there.

Jiang Fuli was holding the grapes that Baishen brought to him, peeling them slowly while saying to Director Chen beside him, "I won't go to the meeting. You have to seize this wave of traffic. Let the Cultural and Tourism Bureau pay attention during the meeting." Director

Chen put down his sleeves and nodded, "We have added a lot of stalls to encourage more businesses to come, and the supporting facilities have also increased accordingly."

"Maintaining the law and order in the east of the city and guiding tourists is the first priority," Jiang Fuli finished peeling the skin and went to give it to Baishen who was talking to Jian Zhongyou, and then came back, "Increase the influence of traditional crafts, and try to find more craftsmen like Tao Yeye, and bring one to another. Add some traditional crafts interactions to get more young people involved, and attracting traffic is also indispensable. There is no need to worry about the initial funds."

Director Chen is not sensitive to these, but he remembers everything Jiang Fuli said, "The patrol team has gone to the east of the city. The flow of people is large. We are developing a tourist line in the west of the city recently."

Before returning to Jiangjing, Director Chen patrolled the east of the city every day.

The entire Xiangcheng and the Cultural and Tourism Bureau are also very energetic, and they did not take a holiday during the Chinese New Year.

With so many people, the stalls in the east of the city have not raised their prices, and even Grandpa Tao has been performing for children for free.

The South Station is being built quickly, and the train station at the North Station has been renovated. The tourist line has been opened, and the starting train station runs from Huancheng Road to the East of the City Tourism Town, striving to build the East of the city into a traditional and characteristic tourist area.

The initial promotion was so smooth, and it was inseparable from Jiang Fuli's promotion. Most of his funds were used for promotion.

The people in the whole city of Xiangcheng also maintain a human touch. Most of the homestays are opened by locals, and basically only charge for food. In their words, they

never thought that someone would come to see Xiangcheng specifically, because even the locals want to escape, so they are particularly enthusiastic about tourists.

**

At the dinner table.

A large bowl of soup was brought to the table, and Shen Qing specially served one bowl to Ning Xiao and Tang Ming.

"Thank you." Both of them were very polite.

Bai Di glanced at the large bowl of soup, and went around to serve herself some fish soup.

Jiang Fuli didn't drink any soup, but only ate a little fish head.

As for Director Chen, he looked at Ning Xiao and Tang Ming, hesitant to speak.

Jian Zhe, who was sitting next to Tang Ming, didn't dare to look at Jian Zhongyou on the left, and didn't dare to look at Jiang Fuli on the right, so he had to keep his head down to eat.

After dinner, Director Chen quickly helped Ji Shaojun wash the dishes.

Ji Heng's yard was very lively, and everyone left until nine o'clock. Bai Di returned to the room and wiped her hair while holding her mobile phone, opened Qiandu, and searched -

"Rebirth of Dragon Aotian".

She was wearing loose white pajamas, sitting lazily by the window, with her hair all put on the left, holding a towel against the end of her hair with her left hand, and using her right hand to swipe the screen to watch Long Aotian. She read ten lines

at a glance.

There was actually a rebirth?

Bai Xi read a few chapters, but it didn't say how Long Aotian was reborn, so she swiped past it and prepared to find an English version to listen to, when Jian Zhe's message popped up on the top of her phone.

Bai Xi clicked in and took a look: [The old Mr. Jian in your family, he looks a bit like one of my elders]

Bai Xi: [? ]

Jian Zhe: [The one I told you about before, the one who learned guzheng when he was a child, does this old Mr. Jian know how to play guzheng? 】

When Bai Xi saw this, she sat up straight, slowly opened Dean Jian's profile picture, took a screenshot, and then replied——

【He didn't go home for the New Year】

Dean Jian was chatting with Ji Heng, and he saw the reply ten minutes later:【Just don't let him tell me about me】

After reading the reply, Bai Xi told Jian Zhe:【It's him】

On the other end of the phone, Jian Zhe, who had already got into the taxi, suddenly wanted to stand up, and his head hit the roof of the car hard.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and stepped on the brakes in fear: "Young man, do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No, no." Jian Zhe spoke stiffly, although he suspected that this was the elder of his family as early as the first time he saw Jian Zhongyou.

But when he really confirmed it from Bai Xi's mouth, Jian Zhe was still shocked.

Those people in the Jian family would do anything to see Jian Zhongyou, even spending a lot of money every year to buy people around Jian Zhongyou.

For example, this time, Jian Zhe saw that Jian's father and others couldn't pick up anyone yesterday, and thought it was another message of buying the wrong person, but he didn't expect that Jian Zhongyou actually came to Xiangcheng.

And at Bai Fu's house? !

How did he know Bai Fu?

**

The next day.

Jian Zhe came to study with Bai Fu and others with panda eyes.

When Lu Xiaohan came over with unfinished winter vacation homework, he was startled by Jian Zhe.

"Hi." Jian Zhe greeted Lu Xiaohan.

The two met at the Book Association. At that time, Lu Xiaohan was quite unfamiliar with Jian Zhe. Today, seeing Jian Zhe studying with Bai Fu and others, he felt a little familiar.

"Copy the winter vacation homework for me. I didn't do many of the difficult questions." Lu Xiaohan whispered to Tang Ming to ask for the winter vacation homework.

The extension questions were too difficult.

She didn't dare to ask Ning Xiao for it. Ning Xueshen's gloomy look was much better than Jiang Fuli. If it weren't for Bai Di, Lu Xiaohan didn't dare to talk to him.

Tang Ming took out the winter vacation homework and gave it to her.

Jian Zhe looked at Bai Di and Jiang Fuli in shock. These two people didn't care?

Why couldn't he even check his phone secretly?

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xiaohan finished copying the homework and reading the wrong questions that Bai Di gave her. She packed her schoolbag and whispered goodbye to Bai Di, "Sister Di, I'm going to find Grandpa Jian."

She and Dean Jian are also netizens. Knowing that Dean Jian is going to the East City Tourist Area, Lu Xiaohan will be Dean Jian's tour guide.

East of the city.

Dean Jian arrived first. He was wearing a grey shirt and holding a palm-leaf fan given to him by Ji Heng.

As soon as he got off the tourist bus, a volunteer came up and asked, "Grandpa, are you traveling alone? Would you like some water?"

He opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Dean Jian.

On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, there was an endless stream of people coming to the east of the city. The volunteers saw that Dean Jian was alone and quite old, so they found a young man to take care of his safety. Before Lu Xiaohan arrived, Dean Jian was taken to watch a puppet show.

There was also a stand for the audience to perform.

The volunteers stuffed a sugar man painting into Dean Jian's mouth and took him to see the stand prepared for amateurs. In addition to puppets and masks, there was also a erhu on the side.

There was a kid of seven or eight years old who went up to perform face-changing.

Dean Jian was infected by the enthusiasm, and he sat down and took the erhu next to him.

He was not proficient in other instruments, but he could play them all.

"Grandpa, please play Erquan Yingyue!" A bunch of people in the audience applauded.

No one here knew him, but they applauded and cheered for him, not for the exam or the performance, but for having fun with everyone.

Dean Jian sat on a stool, holding the bow in his right hand very relaxedly, with his middle finger and ring finger casually inserted between the bow stick and the bow hair. Most of the people present were young people, and it was not appropriate to play sad music during the New Year.

What do young people like?

Dean Jian suddenly remembered something, then casually stretched his legs, narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled the strings with his right hand, and lightly touched them with his middle finger and ring finger, and a lively and exciting sound floated out of the stage.

Like a wave of joy floating into the calm lake,

a erhu sounded through the sky.

It set the whole east city on fire.

The young people's eyes lit up. Isn't this "Sexy Love"?

Their traditional instrument, the erhu, can actually be played? !

There were almost no experts present. They only knew that the erhu had a good rhythm, and it had a bit of a coquettish feeling in the joy and joy, which was very inconsistent with this serious old man.

For a while, a group of people gathered around the stage, which had few onlookers, following the sound of the erhu.

Countless people recorded the screen, surrounding the stage.

When Lu Xiaohan came, Dean Jian was looking for her for help. She finally pulled Dean Jian out of the crowd and handed him the milk tea that Bai Mi brought him.

The two of them squatted secretly behind the huge blue trash can to drink milk tea.

"Grandpa Jian, you actually know songs for young people?" Lu Xiaohan took a sip of milk tea and listened to half of "Sexy Love".

It was amazing.

She always thought that Dean Jian was a serious person and didn't dare to cross the line when talking to him online. Today she found out that he has an interesting soul.

"It's not me either," Dean Jian was opened to a new world by Bai Di. He squatted down holding milk tea, "The girl behind you played the guzheng first, she is better than me."

Dean Jian felt that Bai Di played the melody better, both serious and not serious.

These classical instruments don't have to play classic pieces all the time, let more people know that even if it's just the erhu, it can be played from ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad.

"Sister Di?" Lu Xiaohan rolled her eyes.

Bai Xi only practices the piano at home. Apart from that school anniversary celebration, Lu Xiaohan has never heard her play again.

But it makes sense. She has that kind of hipster vibe just right.

**

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Bai Xi and Jiang Fuli came to the east of the city to find Lu Xiaohan and Dean Jian.

The tourist route is on the newly built Xiangshan Avenue. Connected to Xiangbei is the popular tourist street Wutong Road. The entire Wutong Road is paved with bluestone slabs, and there is a Ping'an Road in the middle that is also paved with bluestone slabs.

The Calligraphy Association Martial Arts Hall is right next to the intersection of Xiangshan Avenue and Wutong Road. The shopping mall on Xiangshan Avenue is about to open.

Lu Xiaohan took Dean Jian to a roadside stall on Ping'an Road. The two sat at a low table and waited for snacks to be served.

Wutong Road is five meters wide, and Ping'an Road is a little narrower, so there are fewer people than Wutong Road.

Bai Xi was wearing a tea-white linen dress today, her long hair was half-tied up lazily, her black hair fell to her shoulders, and behind her were the lights of thousands of houses, she blended into the mood of this street.

Jiang Fuli next to her was a bit out of tune with the crowd, he was wearing a white shirt, buttoned to the collar, his delicate eyebrows were set off by the lights, and he calmly followed Bai Xi through the crowd.

Lu Xiaohan didn't expect that someone like Jiang Fuli would also eat snacks with them, so he asked the owner to bring another portion.

"Have you finished shopping this afternoon?" There was only one stool left nearby, so Bai Xi sat down and talked to the two of them.

Jiang Fuli was standing behind her waiting for them.

"There are too many people," Lu Xiaohan told Bai Xi that Dean Jian almost couldn't get out, "We haven't finished shopping yet, and we haven't visited the martial arts gym yet."

As she spoke, she was thinking about how to convince Bai Xi to record a video.

Help, she really wanted to see Bai Xi play those songs on the guzheng.

Dean Jian was very satisfied with what he saw today, and the lights at night reflected in his eyes, "This place is very nice."

"How about staying here for one night to experience the local customs and culture?" The shopkeeper brought two servings of chicken fillets and thoughtfully gave four skewers. Bai Xi picked up a small piece with the skewers and handed it to Jiang Fuli behind him.

"I've thought about it, but the B&Bs here are full." Dean Jian was worried.

Bai Zhu also took a bite slowly, "Do you mind staying at the Book Association?"

**

Eight o'clock in the evening.

At Xiangcheng Mansion, Jian Zhonghai and his friends had just finished their meal. They still hadn't heard anything about Jian Zhongyou today.

Ren Qian was a little hesitant, "I checked the hotel and Dean Jian didn't stay there. Are you sure he's in Xiangcheng?"

Jian Zhonghai held the teacup, frowning, and asked Jian Rong who was sitting on the sofa: "Hasn't he replied to you yet?"

Ren Qian also looked over. Jian Rong turned on his mobile phone, which was still filled with a conversation with Jian Zhongyou.

Jian Rong: [Hello, uncle, I'm Jian Rong, the grandson of Jian Zhonghai]

Jian Zhongyou: [Are you going to learn the guzheng? ] Jian

Rong: [I haven't learned it]

Jian Zhongyou: [. ]

Jian Rong: [Are you in Xiangcheng? 】

He didn't reply afterwards.

Jian Rong stared at this ".", not understanding what this great uncle meant, "He didn't reply to me."

Jian Zhe was called back by Jian's father just after he finished reading in the afternoon. He sat with Jian Rong to listen to Jian Zhonghai talk.

When Ren Qian and Jian Zhonghai looked over, he couldn't help but lower his head and opened the novel on his phone to start reading.

Bai Mi sent a message -

[No one in the Book Association? ]
