Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."

"So fast?"

"I happened to run into Brother Xiaowu and Sister Su Meng at the entrance of the alley. I handed Feifei and Mengmeng to them and came back. Are Pingping and Xiaoyu asleep?"

"Just fell asleep."

"These two little guys sleep so soundly."

"Let Xiao Zongzi, Feifei, and Mengmeng play with us all afternoon. We are a little tired."

One afternoon, Xiaozongzi, Feifei and Mengmeng were playing with Pingping and Xiaoyuzi. The two little guys were a little tired. Not long after Yang Yukun went out, the two little guys fell asleep.

"Dad, tell a story."

"You want to hear a story, right?"

"Ah."

"Okay, daddy will tell you a story."

Xu Jingping said: "It's so late, why are you telling stories? Go wash up and go to bed."

Yang Yukun patted the little zongzi on the head: "Listen to mom, can we tell the story tomorrow?"

"Ok."

The little Zongzi nodded and followed his mother to wash up.

After taking the little zongzi to wash up and return to the bedroom, Xu Jingping and Yang Yukun chatted for a while.

Zhang Dajiang came to visit home and talked about another thing.

Class monitors Sun Jiping and Wang Xiaoli, who were both members of the high school class committee, came together and were about to get married. The wedding was scheduled for October.

Zhang Dajiang also heard this news from a friend of his who lived in an alley with Sun Jiping.

"Sun Jiping and Wang Xiaoli actually became a couple. If Lao Zhang hadn't come here today to talk about it, we wouldn't have known about it."

"Sun Jiping and Wang Xiaoli had a good relationship when they were in high school. It's not surprising that they got together."

"It stands to reason that we have a pretty good relationship, but we haven't even heard of their marriage."

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping were members of the class committee along with Zhang Dajiang, Sun Jiping, and Wang Xiaoli in high school, and assisted the class teacher, Teacher Yi, in managing the affairs of the class.

Compared to other classmates in high school, their relationship should be the closest.

Later, the college entrance examination was resumed, and he and Xu Jingping took the college entrance examination in advance, but they still had contact with each other.

Later, Zhang Dajiang and the others also went to college, and their contact with each other gradually became less and less.

Later, I learned that Zhang Dajiang was a teacher at Guangqumen Middle School and was He Xiaoxia's class teacher, so the contact with Zhang Dajiang was renewed.

I learned from Zhang Dajiang that Sun Jiping was assigned to work in other places after graduating from university, and Wang Xiaoli went to the Ministry of Electronic Industry.

As old classmates and old friends, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping were naturally very happy for Sun Jiping and Wang Xiaoli to be able to come together.

There has been no contact for many years, and the relationship has faded with the passage of time. They have no chance to drink the wedding wine of this couple.

"Didn't Lao Zhang also receive an invitation from Sun Jiping and Wang Xiaoli's wedding? I heard that Lao Zhang said that none of our high school classmates were invited. Why are you worrying about this? Xiao Zongzi has fallen asleep. Go to sleep."

After so many years of no contact, it is normal for the relationship to fade.

The reason why Sun Jiping and Wang Xiaoli did not invite them was probably due to this consideration.

"I turned off the lights."

"Close it."

"Click it."

Yang Yukun pulled out the light, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

…………

Liulichang.

Yang Yukun walked around with Han Chunming but didn't find anything worth selling, so he went to Jubao Pavilion to drink tea, leaving Han Chunming to wander around the stalls on both sides alone.

"Grandpa, you have tea." "Fengzi, you are the only one in the store. Where is your great grandpa?"

"Grandpa didn't come today. He went for a walk with two old friends."

Yang Feng worked as an apprentice at Jubao Pavilion for five years. During these five years, his grandfather taught him everything he could. He not only taught him the skills of appraising ceramics, but also taught him the skills of repairing ceramics.

Over the years, he has been like a sponge, constantly absorbing various knowledge and skills to enrich himself.

In the words of the great grandfather, his current theoretical knowledge is very rich. What he has to do next is to continue to accumulate practical experience in all aspects bit by bit, so that he can become a generation expert in appraisal and restoration.

Nowadays, the uncle rarely comes to the store, and he is basically responsible for it.

"Where's that girl Xiaoxue?"

"At home, she said she was almost bored with her free time and wanted to find something to do for herself. I bought two storefronts in Xidan and she planned to open a clothing store. What do you think, Grandpa?"

"Did you buy the facade?"

"I have already bought it, and I plan to find someone to decorate it later."

"What about the purchasing channels for clothing? Have you figured it out?"

"It's been done. It's been shipped directly from the clothing wholesale market in Nanyue. The supply of goods is stable and reliable."

Yang Yukun smiled and said: "You have prepared everything, so what else do I have to say."

"Hehe... It's mainly because Xiaoxue has something to do."

After getting married, Zhang Xue has been staying at home for almost half a year.

Yang Feng was an apprentice in Jubao Pavilion, and his uncle paid him a salary. Although the salary was not very high, it was enough to support him and Zhang Xue.

Sometimes if you are lucky, you can make a lot of extra money by picking up a few good items at stalls outside.

The two-bedroom apartment they live in now was bought with the money he earned from hunting for old items at the stalls on both sides of Liulichang.

So whether Zhang Xuegong works or not, neither of them will be hungry.

But Zhang Xue couldn't stay idle and had long said that he wanted to find a job.

There was really no other way, so Yang Feng discussed it with her.

Aren’t there so many people doing self-employed business now? Why not do self-employed business?

Shopkeeper Su of the store opposite happened to have a nephew who was doing business in the clothing wholesale market in Nanyue and had a stable purchase channel. After discussion, the two decided to open a clothing store and sell clothes from Nanyue to the imperial capital.

After the matter was decided, Yang Feng and Zhang Xue bought two storefronts in Xidan and found someone to renovate them before they could open for business.

"Xiaokun, Fengzi."

"Boss Han, you are here, come and have tea."

"Little Fifth Brother, have you found anything good?"

"Look."

After browsing the stalls on both sides, Han Chunming came to Jubao Pavilion to find Yang Yukun.

I bought a lot of various items, more than a dozen items in total.

The harvest was not bad, and one item was not bad, which was an unexpected surprise.

"Yongle Blue and White Pressed Hand Cup, okay, little fifth brother, the harvest is fine."

Yang Yukun picked up the object and took a look. It was a Yongle blue and white hand cup. He didn't expect Han Chunming to have such a harvest.

"Let you hang out with your buddy for a while. You must come here to drink tea."

Yang Feng said: "I also went shopping at the stalls this morning. Why didn't I find this object?"

Han Chunming smiled and said: "This means that this thing is destined to my brothers, but not to you."

"The stuff is good."

Yang Yukun smiled and put down the thing. Han Chunming came across this thing, and he was indeed destined to Han Chunming.

He also has a pair of Yongle blue and white pressed hand cups, which are the master ball heart and the flower heart. Han Chunming is just a mandarin duck pattern, a very good object. (End of chapter)
