Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 359: Jinshi origin

It was fine before.

A sister who is considered to be adopted, it doesn’t matter if she eats a mouthful, there is no shortage of such food in the family.

A nanny who cooks is kind of taking care of the neighbors.

That's pretty good.

Who would have thought that the identities of these two people had changed behind their backs.

If you continue to eat at the same table every day, you will definitely feel a little uncomfortable.

It may take some time to fully accept it.

Xu Damao figured this out and had already made plans to live in Lou's house for a while.

Without leaving Xu Damao too much time to think, Father Lou led him into the study.

He comes here often.

So Xu Damao talked about the issue of 'surveillance'.

"Then why did she come back suddenly?"

"Yeah, that's all what I meant. I think the distance isn't too far to begin with, and there's no one around you, the second elder. It would be nice to come and stay for a while."

There are no eggs left under the overturned nest.

It’s not enough to just prepare for the worst, you have to plan ahead.

Xu Damao:......

This is also the rule.

Today, Father Lou is quite determined to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.

"It might have happened before, but it's impossible now. All the residents in the courtyard are workers from the steel rolling mill. I still have some respect in the courtyard now. No one dares to feel uncomfortable now."

"I thought a friend of mine could solve this problem, but it didn't work out. Xiao'e felt that I had lied to her."

Because he vaguely heard words like 'surveillance' at the door just now, he was really worried. If even her daughter was being monitored, it would be really dangerous.

This is to catch them all.

"That's good. Then why did she suddenly come back and you came to live with her? Is it because the neighborhood relations in your courtyard are not very good and someone looked at Xiao'e?"

The courtyard in the previous dynasty was a royal palace, and in Lou's eyes, it was just a large courtyard.

But one thing he was right about was that the relationship between neighbors was indeed bad, and each one was more calculating than the other.

When a son-in-law goes to his mother-in-law's house, he usually cannot stay in the same room.

"No, no, what can we two be angry about?"

"Okay, okay, I'll have someone go and clean up the room later."

"You two aren't angry, are you?"

They are all jokingly called 'all the birds'.

"Just now Xiao'e said you want to live here for a while?"

"A friend of yours?"

"Well, my friend's surname is Lin."

"What Lin?"

"Lin Ruhai's Lin."

Father Lou knew exactly who the powerful people were in Sijiu City.

When he first brought these big shots into the city, he had even met them as his companions.

"If it's Lin, then he must have a way, but he's just unwilling to do it, or he doesn't dare to open the door. Did he say anything to you?"

Xu Damao didn't dare to say anything before because he was afraid of being suspected.

Some things are wrong even if you know them.

But he can tell a little bit now, because this is what Lin Junjie told him.

He selectively said part of what Lin Junjie said. When he heard "Leave if you can," Lou's father couldn't stop sighing.

"It's unimaginable that the current situation has reached this point. When we lined the streets to welcome people into the city, I could still remember the speeches made by the whole family. How could we become outsiders after we agreed to be a family member?"

The name Lou Zhenhua can give you a glimpse of his attitude.

His attitude can also be seen in the fact that the dry stock of the steel rolling mill was given away for free.

Everyone surnamed Lin said this, no matter how much money he has, what's the use?

You use money as treasure, and some people use money as paper, even if you wipe your butt, it will hurt your hands.

To quote a Western proverb, 'Wealth belongs to God, we just keep it for you. '

That's what it means. All the wealth you have is just being kept for others. If you don't bring it with you during life or death, you won't miss a penny when it's time to take it out.

Now that everyone is prosperous together, do you still want to be a rich man?

This is simply a wishful thinking.

This is an inevitable contradiction that cannot be reconciled.

"Do you think what he said is accurate?"

"Whether it's accurate or not depends on the follow-up. Come with me."

Under the leadership of Father Lou, we walked all the way through the back door.

This is Xu Damao's first time here. He thought it was just a small foreign-style building, but he didn't expect that there was a backyard behind it, with only three empty tile-roofed houses.

"This is the ancestral hall dedicated to my family's ancestors."

In the past, people, especially large and literate families with scholarly family backgrounds, genealogies and clear inheritances, would build ancestral halls and nunneries at home. If a home did not occupy hundreds of acres, it would be too embarrassing to call it a garden.

Don't ask ordinary people why they don't have a genealogy. The eight generations of their ancestors combined can't read a bunch of characters. Even if they have a genealogy, they can't even write their names.

After the land reform, we couldn’t even find our ancestors’ graves, let alone mention them.

The only thing that can be done is to pass it on from oneself.

The Lou family is also a prominent figure in Sijiu City. They have a garden and an ancestral hall, but most of them are gone now. The ancestral hall cannot be lost.

To lose the ancestral hall is to lose the ancestors.

This thing is one with the family.

It looked unremarkable from the outside, but after entering, Xu Damao was shocked.

It was the first time to see the "glorious" scene with my own eyes, and you can imagine how shocked it was.

Anyone who comes in for the first time will be surprised and speechless.

Really magnificent.

The carved beams and painted pillars are decorated with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, glittering with golden light, and various plaques are hung on both sides above.

At the top is the plaque of 'Jinshi origin'.

Surrounding it are some plaques such as "Jing Kui", "Wen Kui", "Sui Jin Shi" and "En Ke Shi".

There is no "Jie Yuan" in the rural examination, no "Hui Yuan" in the Hui examination, and no "pass" in the imperial examination.

It can only be said that I worked very hard, but there was no genius in studying.

It was the first time for Xu Damao to see these things, and he looked at them with gusto. There was nothing in his house. It seemed that his grandfather had passed down a 'weighing weight' and he didn't know where he had thrown it.

This is the family's heritage and heritage.

Who didn’t dream of becoming a domineering president after school if their family was so big?

It's a pity that I can only think about it.

Isn’t it a little inappropriate that these things are hanging here openly now?

Is it nostalgia for the past or the past?

Some big people think it doesn't matter, because they are literati at heart, and they quite approve of these things, but there are still some villains who make fuss about these things.

In the current situation, these are really not suitable.

But Xu Damao didn't know what to say.

"I think that my Lou family has been wandering for half of my life. I was born as a 'merchant' with the lowest status of scholar, farmer, industry and commerce. I was able to be merciful and donated money to become an official. Later I started doing business honestly, cultivated my family and cultivated my family, and taught hard. Unfortunately, I was unable to do anything about academics."
