Ponies, please be seated. Old man Wang beckoned.

Teacher Ma skillfully brought out two round stools from under the small round table, and gestured with his hand for Chen Wen and Tang Jin to sit down. Chen Wen thought to himself, Mr. Ma is so familiar with him, like returning to his own home,

Mr. Ma walked a few steps by himself and brought out a wooden chair with armrests from the room on the left side of the main hall.

Chen Wen looked at the chair, the shape was a little peculiar, but he didn't recognize it, and he couldn't name it. Chen Wen thought to himself, his cultural level is still low, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, he doesn't even know a chair.

But soon he thought that everything here might be his own in the future, and thinking like this, Chen Wen felt a trace of psychological comfort.

Mr. Ma skillfully sat in the wooden chair, crossed Erlang's legs, put his arms on the semicircular armrests, and stood on tiptoe leisurely.

"I said, Old Man Wang, don't be busy, we don't drink tea!" Teacher Ma said.

"I don't pour you tea. I don't have any tea at home, so I've already drunk it all! I don't have the money to buy it!" Old man Wang brought three porcelain bowls, and in the other hand carried a white porcelain teapot, and poured a bowl of water for each of them.

"Let me introduce you to you, these two are my friends, Chen Gongzi from Shanghai, this is Chen Gongzi's girlfriend Miss Tang. "Teacher Ma is the introducer.

"Oh, good two!" Old man Wang's words did not show the distance between relatives and relatives.

"Hello Mr. Wang!" Chen Wen and Tang Jin didn't dare to be as arrogant as Teacher Ma.

Chen Wen took advantage of the 15-watt light in the room to look at Old Man Wang's appearance.

An old man in his 70s, not ugly and handsome, medium height, not fat or thin, with wrinkles on his face that a person of this age should have, is a typical old man.

What impressed Chen Wen the most about Old Man Wang's appearance was that there was an obvious scar on his left forehead, which seemed to be a knife scar.

Chen Wen was secretly frightened, this old man Wang had a knife fight with someone when he was young, and he was cut off on the head?

"Old man Wang, Chen Gongzi is my friend, today he just bought the yard of Lao Qin's house next door to you, and you two will be neighbors in the future!" Teacher Ma said, "I brought Chen Gongzi to recognize the door, one day you burp, someone will take care of you!"

Chen Wenxin said, this teacher Ma really dares to speak, so powerful!

Teacher Ma's words were not polite at all, but Old Man Wang was not angry at all, and he sighed: "Alas, if Lao Qin had been willing to sell his yard two years earlier, I would have been able to restore the general original appearance of the Fu family!

Chen Wen and Tang Jin had been reminded by Teacher Ma before, and when they came to visit tonight, they didn't say anything and didn't listen, so they obediently chose not to answer Old Man Wang's words, and let Teacher Ma play it.

Teacher Ma said: "Old man Wang, don't think about it anymore! I see, it won't be long before those creditors of yours will go to court to sue you! When the time comes, your yard will not escape being auctioned!"

Old man Wang sighed and said: "It's okay to auction it, but I hope that the future owner of the house can keep my complete courtyard, and don't divide and tear it down!"

Teacher Ma asked, "I remember that your yard was originally 9 households, right?"

Old man Wang nodded: "The room you are staying in now, as well as the rooms on both sides, are all from my family in the past. Except for these three, there are all 8 other houses. ”

Teacher Ma sighed: "It's not easy for you, it took 7 or 8 years to get this piece together!"

Old man Wang sighed again: "More than 9 years, it's been 10 years! I have exhausted my life's efforts and savings to restore the main courtyard of the Fu family! Alas, my wish has not been fulfilled!"

Teacher Ma said again: "Don't be greedy, the original front yard, the current owner is in front of you, even if you still want to buy someone's yard, let alone whether you have money or not, you have to ask Chen Gongzi if he is willing to sell it to you!"

Old man Wang looked at Chen Wen: "This Chen Gongzi, may I ask how much you spent to buy his yard from Lao Qin?"

Chen Wen glanced at Teacher Ma, and Teacher Ma nodded slightly. Chen Wen said: "560,000. ”

Old man Wang said: "Rich man! Chen Gongzi is young, he can make a generous move, and he admires the old man!"

Teacher Ma answered: "Chen Gongzi's family is a wealthy businessman in Shanghai, and his father's generation has a lot of industry, and there is so much money that it scares you to death! Let me tell you, just today, Chen Gongzi bought two yards!"

Old man Wang was surprised: "What? Chen Gongzi bought two yards today?"

Teacher Ma said: "Well, Lao Qin's yard was bought by Chen Gongzi in the afternoon. This morning, Chen Gongzi also bought a yard in Nanluo, which is 50 square meters larger than Lao Qin's yard!"

Old man Wang was even more surprised, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Teacher Ma said again: "Old man Wang, otherwise, you go out and hide." It's not a problem to hide at home all the time, and the door is blocked by creditors every day. ”

Old man Wang said: "In the last years of the wind and candles, there is no way to hide. Instead of being displaced, it is better to stay at home and take a look at my life's work. ”

Teacher Ma asked, "Let me ask you, how much debt do you have outside?"

Old man Wang may have not chatted for too long, or he is very familiar with Teacher Ma, in short, when he chats with Teacher Ma, he does not hide anything.

Old man Wang replied: "Even the debt plus interest, I'm afraid there are more than 4 million." ”

Chen Wen thought to himself, Mr. Ma said before, the price of this big yard can be several times that of the front yard, it is indeed worth this price, not only the area is quite large, but also the renovation and decoration as well as the flowers and trees in the garden, Old Man Wang has spent a lot of effort and labor.

Chen Wen estimated again that the money brought to the imperial capital this time was 2.1 million, plus 150,000 yuan earned by selling songs to Yu Chengqing, that is, 2.25 million, 50,000 yuan was sent to Xu Wei, 100,000 yuan was donated to the crew of "Seahorse", 1.06 million yuan was spent to buy two courtyards, and more than 30,000 yuan was paid in taxes and fees; and there was still a full 1 million yuan left in the imperial capital.

Therefore, he will definitely not be able to take out a few million to buy a courtyard now, but by the end of this month or July, he will be able to harvest more than 10 million cash from the subscription warrant, and at that time he will have money to buy Old Man Wang's courtyard.

Teacher Ma asked, "You owe 4 million outside, can you pay it back?"

Old man Wang had a generous and righteous expression: "I am penniless now, it's a big deal that people die, and the debts left behind can be regarded as a chic life!"

Teacher Ma said: "Then you wait to be sued by the creditors, they will definitely attack you before you burp!"

Old man Wang smiled: "If you should come, come back naturally, what's the use of worrying!"

Chen Wen had something to ask, but remembering Mr. Ma's previous reminder, he didn't dare to say a word.

Teacher Ma stood up: "Okay, it's time for us to go." Chen Gongzi and Miss Tang, you two recognized the door today, and you will walk around each other on your own in the future!"

Chen Wen and Tang Jin hurriedly responded with a smile.

Old man Wang asked, "Gongzi Chen, when will you move into your courtyard?"

Chen Wen replied: "I agreed with Mr. Qin to give him 7 days to move. But I will go back to Shanghai in two days, and I may come to the imperial capital at the end of the month or next month, and then see if I can move in. ”

"So, there is something about old decay...... Alas, forget it, don't mention the request that is difficult for the strongman!" the old man Wang shook his head, and did not finish his words.

Chen Wen didn't understand what Old Man Wang meant, and glanced at Teacher Ma, Teacher Ma was expressionless, and Chen Wen couldn't guess why. Since Old Man Wang said that it was a request that was difficult for a strong man, Chen Wen didn't ask.

Old man Wang led the way, Teacher Ma followed, Chen Wen and Tang Jin followed, and the four of them walked out of the main hall, bypassed the rockery along the cobblestone trail, left the second courtyard, and walked through the corridor of the first courtyard, turned the wall, drilled through the round gate, and returned to the gate.

From the door, Old Man Wang first opened the observation opening, probed, and made sure that there was no creditor outside the door, and then carefully opened the small door.

Teacher Ma took Chen Wen and Tang Jin to say goodbye to Old Man Wang, walked out of the small door, and left this magnificent courtyard!

Chen Wen had a belly and wanted to ask Mr. Ma for advice, but walking in the Arrow Factory Hutong, there were always passers-by passing by, and it was very inconvenient to speak.

Teacher Ma looked at Chen Wen's expression, and hehe: "Let's go, go to my studio to talk!"

Chen Wen was happy in his heart, took Tang Jin's hand, followed Teacher Ma, and came to his studio for the second time.
