If love has a destiny

"Good, good! Miss Liang, I remember! " Ma Lili looked at her and said with a smile, "how do I feel that you are more nagging than the teacher in those years?!"

Gu Yuwei pretended to give her a white look. When can ma Lili change her character?! I thought she could become more stable after she gave birth to a child and became a mother. I didn't expect that she was still so angry. She hasn't changed at all!

Ma Lili really drove a lot slower. The car turned several paths and came to a very quiet alley. Ma Lili parked her car at the entrance of the alley.

Where is this?! Gu Yuwei really feels strange.

Longjiang group still has such a quiet alley?! She has lived here for more than 20 years. Why hasn't she found it?!

"Lily, where is this?!" Gu Yuwei couldn't help asking.

"Hehe -- if I sell you now, won't you find your way home?" Ma Lili said with a smile.

"Seriously, how can I feel like I haven't been here?" Gu Yuwei took Ma Lili's arm and said.

"This place, ah, is a change from the old to the new -- this is a small alley in the middle of Zhongshan Road. It used to be very dilapidated and old folk houses. In the past two years, the group has allocated some money to repair it. It says that this is an ancient folk house with Wu style. This alley is called Jinyi lane. According to the style of repairing the old as the old, all the old houses have been repaired outside. The former uneven roads have been replaced by the current bluestone pavement. Coupled with such dim yellow lights, does it feel a little through?! "

Royal garment lane?! Gu Yuwei tried to find the name of the road in her mind. It seems that she really has no impression. This ancient and almost forgotten alley doesn't seem to enter her mind.

However, the alley in front of me looks really good.

The houses on both sides are old-fashioned Wu style buildings, with cornices and corners, white walls and grey tiles, ancient wooden doors, and some traces of New Year pictures remain on the doors.

There are a pair of stone lions at some gates, but they have become mottled due to the grinding of years.

Gu Yuwei took Ma Lili's hand. They walked slowly on the bluestone slab of the alley. The high-heeled shoes under their feet made a crisp sound, which seemed so charming in this quiet alley.

Such alleys should have some stories. Why doesn't Gu Yuwei remember that Longjiang group has such alleys?! She felt a little curious.

"Lily, how do you know this place?! I seem to have never heard of it -- "Gu Yuwei said, looking up at the characteristic houses on both sides.

"Hehe -- my grandmother used to live in this alley," Ma Lili said. "This alley is really historical. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, our Longjiang group produced a champion, which caused a sensation in the whole town at that time. Because there were not many people in our small place, winning a champion broke history. At that time, the number one scholar was called Lin Daqin. It is said that Lin Daqin later led to the second grade, which can be said to honor his ancestors. Later, when Lin Daqin returned home, the village specially built a champion workshop for him, but it was smashed by the broken four old during the cultural revolution. After Lin Daqin returned to his hometown, he built this alley. At that time, the people named it Zhuangyuan lane. They said that Lin Daqin didn't agree. Later, it was changed to Jinyi lane, which means to commemorate Lin Daqin's return to his hometown in gold. Originally, this alley should have become the most famous scenic spot of Longjiang group, but later it became beyond recognition because of the ten-year catastrophe. The residents here also moved out one after another, and the houses became more and more dilapidated, which was slowly forgotten. "

Gu Yuwei is surprised that Ma Lili knows so many historical origins. And she really hasn't heard of it at all. It seems that no one has ever mentioned this place.

Gu Yuwei lives in the east of the city, which is the west of the city. She never came here when she was a child, nor did she listen to adults.

"Who told you all this?" Gu Yuwei asked curiously.

"My grandfather told me this when he was alive, because my grandfather's surname was Lin and he was a descendant of Lin Daqin. I don't know what generation he was. But when my grandfather told me this when I was a child, he was very proud, as if it had happened to him! Many of Lin's descendants have gone overseas, and some are already leaders of large consortia. In recent years, Longjiang has allocated funds to repair this place in order to let Lin's descendants return to Longjiang group to seek roots and worship their ancestors, and want to pull Lin's consortium back to Longjiang group for investment. Therefore, there is this newly repaired Jinyi Lane we see today -- "Ma Lili said.

"Oh, it's your grandfather's family history!" Gu Yuwei suddenly realized.

However, on such a cold night, does Ma Lili want to bring her here to blow the northwest wind and see the scenery?! What a free time!

"It has nothing to do with my grandfather --" Ma Lili said. "I want to take you here to experience a different life!"

With that, Ma Lili took Gu Yuwei and walked quickly forward to the middle of the alley.

Gu Yuwei is surprised! What are you doing here?!

I saw a very nostalgic and simple bar in front of me! This is a typical style of Jiangyou water town. White walls, grey tiles and red lanterns have a very strong visual impact. On the lintel was written five stylized words "old time bar".

Ma Lili pulled Gu Yuwei in.

When you go in, it's even more unique.

This is a large quadrangle, connected by three entrances. It is a house built by the richest people of Xinjiang generation. Gu Yuwei heard from her grandfather that her hometown is also such a house, but it has long been divided up. When she went to see it, she was beyond recognition. She built all kinds of small side houses indiscriminately, which completely destroyed the original complete and elegant house.

The house in front of us is well preserved. The patio, wing room and lobby are so neat without any damage. Now it is decorated as a bar, which looks very quiet and really like a paradise. Under the orange light, many customers in the middle of the lobby have been sitting there tasting wine. Soft music flows in every corner, making people feel that their souls are a little out of their bodies, as if they have entered another time and space!

In such a forgotten alley as Longjiang group, there is such a bar hidden! That's amazing!

Gu Yuwei felt as if she were an outsider in the city. She didn't know at all.

Ma Lili took Gu Yuwei and walked directly into a private room in the side wing room.

This private room was changed from a small room in the east room. The layout inside is very simple, but very elegant.

A medium-sized small round table is in baroque style. It is equipped with three bar sofas and a chandelier tied with a long rope on the top. It hangs over the round table. The orange light is covered warmly. The blue forget me not on the table blooms quietly. The romantic and aesthetic feeling makes this small space particularly warm.

Not long after they sat in, a tall and handsome young man came to the private room and said enthusiastically to Ma Lili: "sister Lili, I haven't seen you come for a long time. Even if my brother invited you tonight! For your comeback! "

"Ha ha -- that feeling is good!" Ma Lili said with a smile, "it's not necessary to avoid orders. You can mix us the best cocktails. I'm drinking with my best sister today, so that she can drink the world's top cocktails on our own territory. You can do this!"

"That must be!" The young man smiled and said, "who is this?"

"This is my best friend, Gu Yuwei, the current Secretary of tuanlong river!" Ma Lili solemnly introduced.

"Oh -- nice to meet you!" The young man came forward and held Gu Yuwei's hand in amazement, "Secretary Gu is so young and promising! My name is Lin'an. Nice to meet Secretary gu! "

"Hello!" Gu Yuwei had to stand up and shake hands with Lin an.

"Ha ha -- Lin an, the 18th generation grandson of top scholar Lin Daqin, came back from the United States last year and opened this' old time 'bar, which is completely in accordance with foreign decoration style and business model. At present, it is the first place in Longjiang group that only high-end people know --" Ma Lili said.

Gu Yuwei nodded. It was really the first time I heard about it.

Just, can there be business with such a location and such a location? Gu Yuwei feels quite strange. Why should she open in such a remote alley instead of choosing a more prosperous street shop? From the perspective of business, it must be a place with a large flow of passengers to have a good business. How many people know about this place?

Lin'an left soon.

Gu Yuwei tells Ma Lili her doubts.

Unexpectedly, Ma Lili said with a smile: "this is the ancestral home of the Lin family. The group helps him repair and decorate it free of charge. There is no rent or tax. Lin an wants to realize his dream of opening a bar in his hometown. So I chose this place. He doesn't care how many guests he has. What he cares about is that he can make the best cocktails. What he cares about is this very leisure and comfortable lifestyle, which is completely different from what we pursue in China. I thought so at that time. Later, after Lin an told me his ideal, I felt very good. Money is certainly one of the goals pursued by people, but when a person doesn't need to work hard for money, he should choose the life he wants and realize his ideal -- "

Gu Yuwei thinks why Ma Lili speaks so deeply today? She didn't even know the Ma Lili in front of her!

"If there were no customers, his cocktail would not be recognized or interesting!" Gu Yuwei said puzzled.

"Of course, there are customers. It's just a matter of how many. At the beginning, there will be few, but now there are many. When we came in just now, you had already seen it. There were a lot of people in the lobby! There are so many wing rooms, and those in the back are private rooms. If the guests are full, the flow of people is very considerable. Don't underestimate such a place. Now Longjiang group is a dating place for the upper class! You'll know if you come a few more times! Maybe we can meet our big leaders here! " Ma Lili said with a smile.

"Can big leaders come to such a place?" Gu Yuwei doesn't believe it.
