The girl picked up the stack of money, ran to Chen Laosan and tried to give it to him.

Of course Chen Laosan didn't dare to accept it.

"this……"

"Dad, this brother sold our lotus lantern for fifty thousand."

ah?

Chen Laosan was dumbfounded, his mouth wide open, and looked at Lin Han.

"It's you..."

Lin Han hummed: "Put away the money. The lotus lamp is a good thing. You sold it at a low price before."

“Let’s go!”

He clapped his hands, turned and walked forward.

How could Chen Laosan let him go?

He asked his daughter to watch the stall and chased Lin Han to a slightly secluded place with fewer stalls.

"My dear little brother... I can't accept so much money. I bought the lotus lantern for 180 yuan."

Lin Han shook his head slightly: "This thing is a matter of opinion. I will not ask for it again after I give it away. You can throw it away or use it. It has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, Lin Han pointed to Chen Laosan's stall and said, "Go back, the child is still waiting for you!"

"Little brother! What's your name?"

As soon as Chen Laosan finished speaking, he saw Lin Han slowly walking away.

When we returned to the hotel, Chen Zeng and Ge Fu had already returned.

Nie Shenxian and the other two finally received a notice from the cultural relics authority in Shangjing.

The other side's troops have arrived, and the Tang Dynasty pottery figurines under the wooden tower are about to be surveyed, excavated and unveiled.

The three old people were delighted.

A dozen staff members and cultural relics supervisors were ordered to wait.

But the three of them insisted on waiting for Lin Han to come back.

After expressing their gratitude profusely, the three of them took a group of staff to the former site of the wooden pagoda.

After finishing the work at hand, Mr. Zhang said he wanted to take a leave to go home.

It is said that his old house is going to be demolished.

His clan members urged him several times, but he had no time to come back.

Take this opportunity to go back.

Lin Han approved.

Although they belong to the same city,

But you still need to take a ride from here to Zhang’s old house.

It was inconvenient for the old man to buy tickets, so Ge ​​Fu lent his own Rolls-Royce and driver to Mr. Zhang.

Lin Han originally wanted to go to the antique market, but when he reached the door he overheard the conversation between the driver and Mr. Zhang.

It turns out that Mr. Zhang’s old house is in Song Town.

Song Town has a long history and was very famous in northern Shaanxi in the past.

After fighting for land, military strategists would often build their capitals and establish their countries in Songzhen. Over time, Songzhen became the ancient capital of many dynasties, and many scenic spots, historical sites and temple buildings were preserved.

After the modern period of the Republic of China, Songzhen was forgotten by the rulers, and the local economy naturally plummeted.

However, many ancient buildings remain.

Lin Han had nothing to do, so he thought he could go back with Mr. Zhang to see his old house, maybe he could gain something from it.

Mr. Zhang couldn't ask for more.

The clan said that the old house should be demolished.

But Mr. Zhang always disagreed.

It’s not that he doesn’t like the dividends and compensation proposed by the demolition company.

But the old house is quite old, and there is a temple on the mountain in the backyard.

Mr. Zhang doesn't want to waste natural resources.

Although his branch is small in number, it is the eldest branch of the Zhang family.

Without Mr. Zhang's approval and signature, the Zhang family did not dare to agree to the demolition company.

But Mr. Zhang is old after all, and sometimes he doesn't want to ruin the financial prospects of other young people in the same clan.

If Lin Han is willing to go with them, they can see whether the ancient house needs protection.

If there is no need, Mr. Zhang will sign it.

The compensation given by the demolition company was quite a lot.

The Zhang family has three branches, and each family can get more than a dozen buildings and more than five million in cash.

The demolition has been completed and everyone is happy.

Chen Zeng and Ge Fu also wanted to join in the fun.

Lin Han refused.

He wanted Ge Fu to take Chen Zeng to see the world so that they could start working as soon as possible.

In this way, Lin Han and Zhang Lao, riding in a Rolls-Royce, drove westward from northern Shaanxi to Song Town.

Three hours later, the Rolls-Royce stopped silently outside a tall courtyard gate.

Mr. Zhang got out of the car first.

Lin Han followed closely behind.

Standing under the courtyard wall with blue bricks, stone tiles and ancient charm, Mr. Zhang was filled with emotion.

"When I was a kid, I played by the wall every day... I never thought that after half a lifetime, I would be an old man, but this yard doesn't look any older!"

It is natural for a wanderer to feel sad when he returns to his hometown.

Lin Han said nothing, but just stayed quietly beside Mr. Zhang.

However, at the same time, he also discovered something unusual.

On the platform in the distance, there were several Hummers and Land Rovers parked, all with Beijing license plates.

It seems to be quite a big deal.

"Mr. Zhang, are these all your guests?"

Lin Han pointed at the cars.

“This shouldn’t be the case…”

Old Zhang frowned and said, "I am the eldest son of the Zhang family, but my descendants are few and far between. The children of the second and third sons are promising, but most of them are abroad. The remaining few stay in Song Town."

"I haven't heard that they make friends with the rich and powerful..."

Zhang Lao paused and said, "Could it be... the demolition team? I heard from my brother that the boss of the demolition team came here recently and wanted us to move out as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Mr. Zhang made a gesture to invite them in: "Come on, let's go in and take a look. It's a good thing that you're here. Give me some advice. If there's no need to preserve this yard, let them demolish it!"

Lin Han nodded and followed Mr. Zhang across the high threshold.

As soon as he stepped in, the screen wall in front of him made him pause.

In the north, it is important that courtyards do not face the street directly.

After entering through the front door, most families will build a screen wall.

First, it blocks the view and protects privacy.

Secondly, from the perspective of Feng Shui, it can ward off evil spirits and misfortune.

At the same time, screen wall culture is also quite popular in the north.

The Nine Dragon Wall and Hebi have even been included in the world's intangible cultural heritage because of their stone carving techniques.

The screen wall in front of me is in no way inferior to the Nine Dragon Wall in the north city.

The stone carvings on the screen wall are based on lotus flowers.

The crisp and thick lotus leaves are inlaid with jade.

The lotus flowers come in various shapes, including buds that have not yet opened, shy pink lotus flowers that are half-opened, and large clusters of lotus flowers in full bloom.

The pink part is made of extremely rare rose quartz, while the white lotus is made of Hetian jade.

The carving is rough but delicate, with appropriate details.

Jade is dotted throughout, graceful yet elegant and unique.

Very pleasing to the eyes.

"This screen wall alone is not simple! No matter how much money the demolition company offers, we can't afford to compensate for it!"

Lin Han walked around the screen wall and spoke to Mr. Zhang.

"yes!"

Old Zhang sighed, "But it's not surprising that my nephews live here. Young people just want to cash in and live outside."

Lin Han said nothing, just nodded slightly.

He loves this antique from the bottom of his heart.

Not to mention demolition, even moving or repairing it, he was reluctant to destroy its original splendor.

However, this old house does not belong to him.

We also need to listen more to the opinions of Mr. Zhang’s family.

After passing the screen wall, you will enter the courtyard.

On both sides are flat east and west wing rooms, each with three rooms.

From a distance, you can see the high threshold.

That is the second courtyard.

After crossing the threshold, we arrived at the inner courtyard.

The view is much wider, and the houses on both sides are also taller and more luxurious.
