Dreamland Guide - Chapter 706
The mulberry garden, as a classical garden completely restored by private capital investment, has received widespread attention. But the focus of media attention is not the mulberry garden itself, but the significance of capital entering the public garden market. It is generally believed that such a garden with a new heart without much historical accumulation is difficult to stand out among the many famous gardens in Wuzhong, and it is unlikely to recover a large amount of investment through tourism income. Capitalists have never been philanthropists and must have other purposes. .
Some analysts pointed out that this is a breakthrough in the real estate market, because with the completion of the mulberry garden, the surrounding second-hand housing prices have not fallen in the downturn in the real estate market, but are still rising steadily. And Hu Xing did take the opportunity to hoard two new plots around the mulberry garden for the development of real estate projects. One of the properties has already opened and sold out soon, which made her a fortune. She expects that the second and third phases of the project will be able to make more profits. Coupled with the use of the newly built pedestrian commercial district next to it, the funds invested in the reconstruction of the mulberry garden will soon be recovered.
Hu Xing’s investment was originally not optimistic, and it was regarded as a wayward behavior allowed by the compromise made by Father Xia’s hope that his beloved granddaughter would return to the business world. However, the development of the property market unexpectedly driven by Sang Yuan’s operation made her position in the Xia family rise sharply, and some people even flattered and half-truthfully touted her as a young business talent in front of Xia Wenyuan.
Xia Wenyuan certainly knew that this was just an accident, but he was also happy to see it happen. In order to help Hu Xing, he allowed all his subordinate real estate companies to cooperate, and coupled with the encouragement of the media and the inclination of government policies, the area centered on the original Liuying Lane has rapidly developed a new area that has never appeared before. Development model.
In order to complement the mulberry garden, the roads, landscape and public greening in this area are all planted with mulberry trees. People call this area the “mulberry forest area”.
Even so, compared to other gardens in Wuzhong, the mulberry garden is still quite deserted. On the one hand, because it is a new district, people who originally lived nearby have been moved out due to demolition. The environment has changed, but the popularity is no longer as strong as in the old city. On the other hand, Hu Xing and Bi Shenghua set the ticket price for Sangyuan as high as those famous gardens on the grounds of recovering their investment, which discouraged people who wanted to come to this Guanggu tour group, a new garden without any history. At this price, there is no group discount yet, who wants to come?
Only a very small number of tourists will actually spend money to buy tickets into the mulberry garden to stroll around, and Mei Ziqing is one of them.
The air is still very cold, but the mulberry trees in the mulberry garden have already sprouts. It seems that spring here comes earlier than other places.
Mei Ziqing is not in a hurry to see the Lifetime Flower, but walks slowly in the mulberry garden, just like a real traveler, enjoying the unusual scenery here.
The most eye-catching thing in the mulberry garden is probably the huge old mulberry tree.
Like other gardens, a sign will be erected next to every aged tree with its name and age. If the person who planted it is very famous or something special happened at the time, there will be a section belonging to it. Its history is recorded.
Mei Ziqing walked over and saw a sign in front of the tree that read “Red Silkworm Mulberry”, and the age of the tree was written “over 260 years”.
The following is an explanation of Chinese and English words:
Red silkworm mulberry is a very rare tree species, belonging to the deciduous tree of the genus Morus. It is rumored among folks that a red wild mulberry silkworm once lived on the tree, which can spit out red silk. The silk made from its silk was once known as a gem.
As early as in the Qianlong period, the “Wu Zhi” recorded: “The exquisite silk, only the red silk reeled from Hua Mulberry Garden is better than that of the Weaving Mansion, or the wild silkworm is fed by human blood. , So its silk is red, its silk is like blood, people dare not wear clothes.”
According to the measurement of the trunk, the age of this tree is about 260 years, but the C14 measurement of its root system and the soil on it found that it has been more than 1,300 years ago. Experts estimate that the backbone of the red sericulture may have been destroyed, but then re-growth.
…
Mei Ziqing read each word carefully, then looked up at the tall crown, stood there thoughtfully for a while, and then muttered two words to herself: “Aoki…”
She continued to move forward. After passing through a mulberry forest, I saw a lake with a Jiuqu stone bridge. There is a willow tree on the other side of the lake, which is particularly conspicuous in the mulberry forest.
There are more green buds on the willow tree than on the surrounding mulberry trees, which makes it particularly vigorous. The wicker stalks hung down and flicked the water, swaying thousands of styles in the wind, as if a shy girl was acting like a baby to her lover.
Mei Ziqing stood on the stone bridge and looked back, and saw the tall canopy of the red silkworm mulberry, facing the willow tree across the lake.
I don’t know why, she always feels that there are some strange things in the air here, just like in the martial arts, here is full of aura, making people feel refreshed.
There is a house not far from the other side of the lake. Although it and the architectural style are quite primitive, it is obviously not in the same style as the other pavilions in the mulberry garden, and it seems incompatible.
Passing the signboard on the side of the road, Mei Ziqing knew that it was the Sangyuan Management Office.
She came to the house and found that the door was closed. Judging from the traces on the door, it should have been a long time since she opened. But this house is obviously occupied by people, and clothes are still drying on the balcony upstairs.
She walked around the back of the house and found a back door. The doorway is paved with two bluestone slabs, and there is a pot of star beauties next to the steps.
Mei Ziqing raised his hand and knocked on the door, but did not respond. No one is there? She thinks it won’t be so coincidental.
She has investigated the lifespan flower, and knows that after the mulberry garden is completed, she rarely leaves.
Mei Ziqing released her mental power and felt it. This building is not big. If there is a big life upstairs, she should be able to feel it. However, it is strange that the abundant “spiritual energy” around her actually interfered with her. Only then did she discover that the place was filled with something similar to mental power, forming a field like a magnetic field, covering the entire mulberry garden.
“Holy Land!” Mei Ziqing exclaimed inwardly.
One of the purposes of her coming to Wuzhong is to find the holy places mentioned in her father’s notes. She has an intuition that the Holy Land must have a relationship with a certain garden in Wuzhong. This intuition can be very accurate, but her search has no results. In the past ten years, she has traveled to most places in Wuzhong and seen most of the gardens, including the open and unopened ones, but she did not think of this newly built mulberry garden.
Mei Ziqing has also been to Liuying Alley when the mulberry garden was not built, and heard the rumors of chasing after the wind. If she had seen the huge red silkworm mulberry at that time, perhaps she had discovered the secret here long ago. UU reading www.uukanshu. However, a clever grafting of com made her miss the clue to the holy land just like Kitano Shintake. They only saw a century-old willow there.
She raised her head and looked at the blue sky, imagining the spiritual power continuously coming from some unknown and deep place in the universe. How was this channel established? Is the disappearance and sudden return of Aoki related to this?
Mei Ziqing put down her knock on the door, prepared to leave temporarily, and then walked around in the garden.
When turned around, she saw the star beauty beside the bluestone slab again. She always feels that this flowerpot is very uncoordinated here, as if someone did it deliberately.
She bent down, held the flowerpot, and saw a key under the flowerpot.
She laughed. It turns out that the owner of this house is a forgetful person! Only the forgetful will put the key at the door. What age is it, why not install a smart lock, fingerprint, voice, face recognition, everything is fine.
”Aoki…” She remembered the name again. Yes, Aoki is a forgetful person. Professor Mei Yiqiu often had his brain like an old disk full of bad sectors during his lifetime. Is this key for him?
Out of curiosity, Mei Ziqing picked up the key, intending to verify if it was used to open the door. Suddenly I heard someone say behind me: “Are you here to find me?”
