Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chapter 223 Mr. Guan

After a storm was resolved, Li Weidong and Lou Xiaoe continued to walk into the yard.

Along the mossy green brick path, through a small winding passage, you will come to a patio.

The patio is very spacious, and an old crooked jujube tree shades the warm winter sun.

Under the shade of a tree, an antique house is opening its door.

There is a paper door on the front of the room, and Li Weidong can enter the house.

On the inlaid kang bed, there are four hanging screens with silk and satin cut-and-paste in various colors.

There are pillars and mirrors on the table with mottled vermilion lacquer, and boxes and tinware are piled up with homework.

There are sticks of incense sticks in the ground, and two Dongpo chairs are set up above.

Lou Bancheng sat upright on one of them, and an old man with gray hair sat on the other.

"This is Comrade Li Weidong, right? Thanks to you as a bridge today, Mr. Lou is willing to leave the antiques on hand in the capital."

The gray old man stood up and cupped his hands.

As soon as he spoke, he spoke in an authentic Beijing accent. Looking at the old man's attire, he wore a gray linen blouse, a white undershirt, and black trousers with cuffs on his legs.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it looks a bit freezing.

It complements his slightly paralyzed face.

No, why is this person so familiar?
Li Weidong raised his eyelids and almost slapped his thigh. Isn't the old man the famous Mr. Guan?

Mr. Guan is a descendant of the tax official, and he is obsessed with antiques to the extreme.

From the fart plug to the snuff bottle, you can understand everything, and you can tell the age as long as you hold it in your hand. It is known as a walking encyclopedia.

In addition, he is warm-hearted and fair, and he is honored as the admiral of the Nine Gates.

More importantly, Mr. Guan is a shrewd person who has seen all kinds of tricks.

It is very appropriate that the Lou family's antiques should be kept by Mr. Guan.

"Weidong, this is my dad. You have seen him before. This is Mr. Guan."

Lou Xiaoe introduced the identities of the two to Li Weidong.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Weidong said directly: "Time is urgent, let's start quickly."

Mr. Guan and Mr. Lou looked at each other, nodded, and then handed the paperwork to Li Weidong and Mr. Lou.

Li Weidong carefully read the contents of the document below.

To sum it up simply, Mr. Guan will help keep the antiques of the Lou family from now on until the descendants of the Lou family retrieve them.

It also lists the list and value of antiques in detail.

Among them, the value is not the price directly marked, but linked to the price of food.

Just from this point of view, Mr. Guan is a fastidious person.

He even listed how to dispose of these antiques after his death.

Li Weidong looked at it for a long time, but couldn't find any problems in it, so he signed his name on the guarantor, and pressed his fingerprint by the way.

It is worth mentioning that if the Lou family has not come to retrieve the antiques after 30 years, Mr. Guan will hand over these antiques to the state under the witness of Li Weidong.

This was somewhat beyond Li Weidong's expectations. He felt that this was not something that Lao Lou's temperament could do.

When he looked at Lou Xiaoe and saw her winking at him, he realized that this was probably a condition imposed by Lou Xiaoe privately.

It is not surprising that Lao Lou would agree.

After all, if he didn't agree to the meeting, he wouldn't even think about leaving the capital.

When the wind blows on him, he can't keep these things.

It's better to take it out generously, maybe there will be a chance to get it back in the future.

What he doesn't know is that after 30 years, many of those antiques have become national treasures, and they can no longer leave the mainland. This is exactly Li Weidong's purpose.

If money is gone, it can be earned again. If the cultural inheritance is lost, it will never be found again.

And Lou Bancheng approached Mr. Shangguan purely because the two families were family friends and knew each other well.

Others may not be able to preserve these antiques, but Mr. Guan certainly can, and there is no need to worry that he will be greedy for ink.

Except that Mr. Guan himself is a very honest and old-fashioned person, the antiques accumulated in his family are much more than those of the Lou family.

After Lao Lou confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the document, he also signed his name on it.

In this way, the document will be effective.

In triplicate, Lao Lou and Mr. Guan will each get one copy, and Li Weidong, the guarantor, will also get one.

After finishing the official business, Mr. Guan asked Li Weidong about what happened outside just now.

Li Weidong didn't hide it, and said it outright.

Probably because Mr. Guan was born with some facial paralysis, after listening to Li Weidong's words, the expression on his face didn't change much.

Only Lao Lou, who was familiar with him, could tell from the little actions of old man Guan that this time the old man was really angry.

Come to think of it, Li Weidong was a guest invited by Mr. Guan.

Being treated like this, isn't that a slap in the face of the old man?

If Li Weidong provoked it, forget it.

But now it is obvious that the other party is deceiving too much.

How about putting his old face?

However, Mr. Guan is not the kind of person who speaks harshly. He usually does things quietly.

And he has a good relationship with the Han family.

The Han family are all honest people, and they respect him very much, so he should give him some face.
-
After Li Weidong and Lou's father and daughter left, Mr. Guan stood up and walked towards the middle court with his hands behind his back.

The Han family, Mother Han and the aunt of the Han family are all teaching Meng Xiaoxing a lesson.

But Meng Xiaoxing is a girl who remembers to eat but not to fight, she didn't take the previous matter to heart at all, and kept rolling her eyes.

She even felt that if Han Mu and the others hadn't helped, she wouldn't have been beaten.

Maybe he already got Li Weidong's pants.

I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong.

It can be said that this is a person whose three views are extremely crooked.

Three years old is eighty, now Meng Xiaoxing is more than ten years old, one year older than the stick, I hope she will change in the future, the sun is afraid that the sun will come out from the west.

The aunt of the Han family on the side was very embarrassed, because she was the one who brought Meng Xiaoxing to the Han family.

When the two of them went to the Han family, they brought the fare with them.

While waiting for the Han family to pick her up, Meng Xiaoxing didn't even listen to the persuasion, she just drank a bottle of soda on the side of the road, saying that Brother Wu would help her with the money.

That confident look, people who don't know see her and think she is a princess of some family.

Han Chunming, who came to pick them up, almost collapsed.

If he hadn't just brought the money that he was going to buy meat to greet them, he might be arrested as someone who eats the overlord's meal.

From that moment on, the aunt of the Han family regretted bringing Meng Xiaoxing here, and even specially warned her.

I didn't expect that the disasters I caused would become bigger and bigger every time.

Just when the aunt of the Han family was about to speak, there was a light cough from outside.

The aunt of the Han family turned her head immediately, and then saw Mr. Guan walking in with his hands behind his back.

She would come to the city almost once a month, so she naturally knew Mr. Guan who lived in the backyard. When they met before, she could still say hello.

But now she is too embarrassed to say hello to people.

Because she had already learned from Han Chunming that it was Mr. Guan's guest who was embarrassed by Meng Xiaoxing.

In this situation, she even wanted to find a place to hide.

Seeing that Mr. Guan came in, Mother Han immediately stopped admonishing Meng Xiaoxing, smiled and said to Mr. Guan, "Mr., why are you free to come here today? If you have something to do, just say so, I will let Xiao Wu go over." That’s it, there’s no need for you to come here in person.”

After hearing the words, Old Master Guan said indifferently: "If I don't come here again, I'm afraid no one will dare to come to me in the future!"

As he spoke, he looked at Meng Xiaoxing and said, "Little girl, you were the one who made things difficult for my guest just now?"

Meng Xiaoxing rolled her eyes when she heard the words, and said, "Want to know? If you want to know, just give me money, one yuan, and answer a question!"

Han Chunming at the side was shocked when he heard this, and quickly reached out to cover Meng Xiaoxing's mouth.

But it was too late.

Mr. Guan didn't expect that this Meng Xiaoxing was much more shameless than he imagined.

He shook his head, he had no intention of continuing to talk to Meng Xiaoxing.

Say one more word to such a person, even if he loses.

Turning her head to Du Han's mother, she said, "Who is this girl related to your family?"

Mother Han said awkwardly, "It's my cousin's granddaughter."

Grandpa Guan: "..."

The relationship is really far enough, so you still have the nerve to come to the door to help?

That is to say, Han Mu is kind-hearted.

Otherwise, people with this kind of relationship will generally not help each other.

Life in the city is not easy. If relatives so far away have to help, no matter how rich the family is, it will not be enough.

"Little, you already know what happened today. I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but your relatives have gone too far this time. It doesn't matter if I lose my old face. After going out, I guess no one will dare to visit our house in the future.

And I heard that Chunsheng is talking about his wife recently, right?
What do you think the woman will do if she finds out that your family has such a relative? "

The expression on Mother Han's face suddenly froze.

When a man and a woman get married, they will definitely inquire about each other's situation first.

There is a relative like Meng Xiaoxing in the family, which is a proper deduction item.

Although it's not face to face day and night, it's unbearable to come here every now and then!

Seeing that Han's mother had listened, Mr. Guan didn't say anything more.

Mother Han is a smart person, she knows what to do.

I believe she can tell the difference between a distant relative who can't be farther away and the reputation of her entire family.

Besides, it's not that she wants to cut off this relative, it's just to cut off contact with Meng Xiaoxing, it's not a big problem.

In the Meng family, Meng Xiaoxing is the only one. Her parents, brother and sister are actually pretty good-natured.

"Okay, you guys get busy first, I'll go outside to play chess with the old man, Chunming, you come with me!"

Han Chunming didn't expect that he would be called by name, so he turned his head to look at his mother, and after seeing her nod, he followed Mr. Guan out.

Because of the departure of the old and the young, the atmosphere in the room became dull again.

Mother Han looked at the aunt of the Han family and said, "Sister, did you hear what the old man said just now?"

Aunt Han nodded numbly.

She is very embarrassed now, if it wasn't for her bringing Meng Xiaoxing here, such a thing would not have happened.

If it was really because of this matter that her eldest nephew's marriage was delayed, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

After thinking about it, she said: "I'll take a ride back in a while, I won't come next month."

Mother Han shook her head and said, "Sister, that's not what I meant."

After saying this, Han's mother glanced at Meng Xiaoxing, and then whispered a few words in Aunt Han's ear.

The aunt of the Han family frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked hesitantly, "Is this okay?"

Mother Han said helplessly, "You don't want to see Chunsheng and the others not be able to get a wife, do you?"

When she heard that her nephew's marriage was involved, the aunt of the Han family stopped hesitating and said, "Okay, I will do as you say."

On the other side, Meng Xiaoxing had no idea what she was about to face, and was still cursing Mr. Guan and Li Weidong in a low voice.

*******
"I've already arranged the truck for you. It will be around lunch time. Just go to Princess Tomb and wait."

Lou Xiao'e listened to Li Weidong babbling about the precautions, and felt a strange feeling in her heart, if she had married him in the first place, it would be great.

Now she doesn't even know how to repay Li Weidong, the only thing she can give is the little yellow croaker, but Li Weidong has already refused once.

If you give it to him now, surely he won't accept it, right?
Then the only thing left for her to give may be...

Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e was a little shy, but after the idea appeared, she couldn't get it out of her mind.

Looking at the old Lou in front of her, Lou Xiaoe gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.

She yelled to Lao Lou: "Dad, you go back first, I have other things."

After hearing this, Lao Lou didn't think too much, nodded and said: "Okay, then come back quickly after finishing your work, we still have some things left!"

"understood!"

Watching Lao Lou leave, until his figure completely disappeared from sight, Lou Xiaoe turned to Li Weidong and said, "Weidong, can you go with me to pick up things? I'm a little scared by myself."

Li Weidong originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Lou Xiaoe's pleading eyes, he softened his heart a bit, nodded and said, "Okay, but hurry up."

"Yeah!" Lou Xiaoe nodded vigorously.

Then, under the guidance of Lou Xiao'e, the two came to an abandoned yard.

According to Lou Xiao'e, this is the old house of their Lou family.

During the war, after being destroyed, it fell into disrepair.

Usually, no one would come here, but it was indeed a good place to hide things.

After entering the main room, Lou Xiaoe didn't have time to turn on the lights, but she still closed the door, and there were no cotton curtains on the broken windows, but as long as the lights were not turned on in the room, outsiders could not see what was going on in the room.

When she was two children, Lou Xiaoe leaned against Li Weidong's chest and said, "What should I do? I suddenly don't want to leave."

Li Weidong patted Lou Xiaoe on the back and said, "It's okay if you don't leave, I will always have a way to keep you."

Lou Xiaoe was a little moved when she heard the words, but finally shook her head resolutely.

If Li Weidong is not married yet, she can stay as she pleases.

But now Li Weidong has a family, and she stays here just to make trouble for him.

Lou Xiaoe didn't want to embarrass Li Weidong.

Although reluctant, he could only leave.

If you have beauty, why should you care about eternity.

As long as we are alive, we will meet again one day.

********
"Be careful when you go to Hong Kong this time. Write to me when you have time. I know a smuggler named Cuttlefish Sect in Yangcheng. If you don't know how to get to Hong Kong Island, you can ask him. He will help you." Yours.

Also, you brought so much money there, if you don't know what to invest in, you can invest in the film and television industry.

If you don't know what to shoot, just buy the copyright of those martial arts novels, and just shoot according to it.

In addition, real estate can also be engaged in, try not to touch the stock market, those are not things that ordinary people can play. "

Looking at the long-winded Li Weidong, Lou Xiaoe's heart was both sweet and sad.

In order not to worry Li Weidong, she still smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, I will pay attention to what you said, and you should take care of yourself in the capital."
