250 kilometers south of Beijing there is an Quyang County . During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the auspicious beasts and screen walls of the imperial palaces in Beijing, the families of nobles, the tombs of emperors, and the steles in the tombs of wealthy families were all supplied here. Jin Xiwen's ancestors were the most famous sculptor in Quyang . The reason why he can understand the glory of his ancestors is because of the screen wall at home. The screen wall stands in the Jinjiayuan, facing the gate, full of dragon patterns reliefs.
5 of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of the Jin family were hired by a prince to come to Beijing and tried their best to carve dragon patterns on the screen wall in the prince's mansion, which was extremely exquisite. After returning to Quyang, his ancestors were obsessed with his most proud works, so they carved the same dragon patterns as the Prince's Mansion on the screen wall in the courtyard. When the prince heard about it, he was furious and sent someone to investigate. Fortunately, he was informed by a kind-hearted person in advance. The ancestors quickly shoveled off the dragon pattern on the screen wall, and the people sent by the prince were wiped out.
The ancestors did not dare to carve dragon patterns privately, but they were unwilling to accept it, so they drew the dragon patterns as heirlooms, and they were passed down from generation to generation with the stone carving craftsmanship. After liberation, Jin Xiwen's grandfather dared to carve dragon patterns on his own screen wall according to the ancestral dragon pattern pattern. By the time of Jin Xiwen's generation, he had lost his ancestral dragon carving skills and had to go out to work.
On that day, Jin Xiwen came back from work in another place and saw a luxury car parked at the door of her house. Several well-dressed men and women walked out of the yard. His wife Ding Xianxian was sending it out with a smile on her face.
Jin Xiwen wanted to go up and ask, but saw Ding Xianxian winked at him and refused to let him speak. Jin Xiwen was always afraid of his wife, so he had to look from afar. When the men and women got on the car and left, they came over and asked Ding Xianxian: "What are these people doing?" Ding Xianxian smiled and said, "What are you doing? Buy a screen wall."
Jin Xiwen was confused and asked, "Which screen wall, who can buy a screen wall?" Ding Xianxian sneered, "Although there are screen walls in and out of every yard, if you want to say that it is valuable, it is our dragon-patterned screen wall!"
Jin Xiwen couldn't help but shouted, "When I heard this, I couldn't help but shouted, " The things heirlooms are not sold! "Ding Xianxian shouted: "Not selling? I have been married to you for seven or eight years and have been living a hard life with you. What did I say? I finally turn over today. Don't sell them? If you don't sell them, you will get divorced!"
Jin Xiwen was panicked when he heard this, and quickly stepped forward to beg for mercy: "Okay, let's not fight for or sell them. Tell me first, what's going on."
Ding Xianxian saw that Jin Xiwen gave in, so she pulled Jin Xiwen back to the house with a smile, served the food, and started chatting while eating.
It turned out that the prince who had carved the dragon pattern screen wall from the Jin family had passed on several generations. With the destruction of , the Qing Dynasty, no descendants were left, and the courtyard changed its master several times and came to the hands of the Long family. The Long family has been a big businessman in Beijing for generations, and the whole family moved in when they bought the yard. But soon the civil war began, so the whole family moved south, first to Nanjing, then to Guangzhou, and finally overseas. At that time, the only son of the Long family was Long Xiao. He was only five years old when he left Beijing. A hundred years and ten years had passed in a blink of an eye.
The Long family is still a wealthy family overseas, and Long Xiao is over 70 years old and always says to his family: "I miss home. My childhood time in Beijing is vivid in my mind, especially the dragon-patterned screen wall, which makes me dream." He instructed his younger generation to return to Beijing to find his former residence and move the dragon-patterned screen wall from Beijing to overseas.
The Long family came to Beijing to find the dragon-patterned screen wall, but it is now a protected cultural relic. The Jin family was melancholy in front of the dragon-patterned screen wall for a long time, and finally had to ask the Cultural Relics Bureau: "Where can I buy the same dragon-patterned screen wall?"
The comrades from the Cultural Relics Bureau were very enthusiastic and guided them to Jin Xiwen's house, and said: "The dragon-patterned screen wall of the Jin family is passed down from the shadow wall of the Beijing Palace, but the dragon-patterned screen wall of his family was carved after the liberation and is not considered a cultural relic."
The Long family hurried to the Jin family and negotiated an agreement with Ding Xianxian to purchase the dragon-patterned screen wall.After Ding Xianxian finished talking about the whole story, she said to Jin Xiwen proudly: "We have all agreed, they promised to give one million!"
Jin Xiwen frowned after hearing this and kept silent. Ding Xianxian asked quickly: "Are you going to change your mind again?" Jin Xiwen sighed and said: "Wife, this dragon pattern screen wall was carved by my grandfather himself. Although he is gone, I just sold it. Is it unreasonable for the elders of the clan?"
Ding Xianxian laughed as soon as she heard it: "I said you are really stubborn. Although grandfather is gone, the second grandfather is still alive. He also came back from overseas to settle down and will definitely speak for the Long family."
Jin Xiwen nodded when she heard this, and bought a bunch of gifts with Ding Xianxian the next day and went to the second grandfather's house. When they entered the house, the second grandfather was watching TV news at home. When they saw the two of them coming in, they greeted him, "Xiwen and Xianxian, you are here."
The two of them asked about their well-being to the second grandfather. The second grandfather smiled, "I told you not to act like this. If you have anything to do, tell me quickly." The two quickly told the purpose of the Long family and asked the second grandfather to make an idea. The second grandfather rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "No need to hide it. I know what you two are thinking. I just want me to speak in front of the tribe members for you so that I can sell the dragon pattern screen wall?"
Jin Xiwen and Ding Xianxian nodded quickly when they heard that there was a show. The second grandfather continued, "Let's do this. Three days later, you will invite the Long family and our Jin family. I'll talk about this." Jin Xiwen and Ding Xianxian thanked the second grandfather and returned happily. Grandpa II looked at the backs of the two people and couldn't help but shake his head.
As soon as Jin Xiwen and Ding Xianxian got home, Ding Xianxian's cell phone rang. She glanced at the phone and said, "It's Mr. Long Xiao's son, named Long Tian."
Ding Xianxian answered the phone and heard Long Tian's crappy Mandarin from the microphone: "Ms. Ding, how is the matter with the Dragon Pattern Screen Wall? We want to sign a contract."
Ding Xianxian smiled and replied, "Mr. Long, don't worry, you come to my house to sign the contract three days later, and I also asked my second grandfather to protect him. He also came from the same period. "
" When Long Tian heard this, he was a little hesitant and said, "The people who returned to China in the past are very conservative. Will they disagree?"
Ding Xianxian quickly promised: "The second grandfather has agreed, so come just for it."
"Long Tian felt relieved after hearing this and replied, "Then I will see you in three days."
Three days later, the courtyard of Jin Xiwen's family was full of people, including the Long family from overseas and the Jin family from the village. Jin Xiwen and Ding Xianxian surrounded the second grandfather and sat in the middle. When Ding Xianxian mentioned that the Long family came to buy the dragon-patterned screen wall, the courtyard suddenly became a mess.
Some of the Jin family in the village agreed and some opposed it. The two sides argued endlessly. The Long family was very embarrassed. Ding Xianxian and Jin Xiwen hurriedly begged the second grandfather: "You'd better say something." The second grandfather coughed, and everyone immediately calmed down. The second grandfather looked at Long Tian and asked with a smile, "You are Long Xiao's son, right?"
Long Tian stood up and bowed, and replied in a regular manner, "That's right."
The second grandfather continued to ask with a smile, "Young Master Long, your old man lives long? How is your health?"
Long Tian replied with a smile, "This year is already in his seventies. But his health is not good, and there are too many children who are worried and burdened. I am not afraid of laughing. I have eight brothers in my generation, the youngest The one was born five years ago. "
" Everyone burst into laughter, and the second grandfather continued to ask, "Do you have any relatives in the country?"
" Long Tian replied, "There are uncles and aunts..."
" After hearing this, the second grandfather slapped the table heavily: "In this case, I will make the decision. The dragon pattern screen wall cannot be sold to the Long family!"
Long Tian was stunned, and Jin Xiwen and Ding Xianxian were also stupid. Ding Xianxian asked quickly: "Second Grandpa, why? They are also trying to understand their homesickness."
The second grandfather continued, "Home is here, my brothers are here. He was in good health before, so why didn't he come back but did something else? "
"As the second grandfather said, everyone was silent, and the Long family lowered their heads even more ashamed. The second grandfather stared at Long Tian and said earnestly: "Long Xiao had not returned to China before, but now he is not healthy. Maybe he really can't go back. If you really miss home, come back to settle down. I will send the dragon pattern screen wall for free and buy it overseas. It will definitely not work! "
Long Tian saluted to Grandpa in shame and left with the Long family in shame. Jin Xiwen stared at their backs blankly. Ding Xianxian couldn't help but want to catch up, but was caught by Jin Xiwen, letting her break free, but she failed.
The second grandpa slowly walked to the dragon pattern screen wall, and his figure and the dragon pattern were integrated, like a dragon jumping out.
