With the development of the times, there are fewer and fewer hutongs left from the Yuan and Qing dynasties, and most of them have been demolished and modern high-rise buildings have been built.

On the foundation of the original old alley, there are now similar reinforced concrete buildings everywhere.

In recent years, in order to maintain the unique characteristics of the city, some old alleys have been preserved and have not been demolished.

Scarcity is expensive, and because of this, the courtyard houses in the alleys have no price.

Xingluo Hutong, as Mu Xiyan said before, most of the courtyards here are the residences of old cadres who entered Beijing back then.

It's just that with the change of time and space background, some children of old cadres, under the transfer of money, have sold the courtyards in these alleys, and most of them are the local tyrants and big bosses who first got rich at the end of the last century.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this place, which is now stained with the so-called copper odor, that the Shajia Hutong where the stars shine has long become a thing, so it was renamed Xingluo Hutong.

When Wang Le led Mu Xiyan in one hand and came to the door of the courtyard with brand number 117 in the other, red lanterns had already been hung on both sides of the lintel, which looked very simple and joyful.

Wang Le handed the invitation in his hand to the middle-aged male servant standing in front of the door, and then the other party respectfully welcomed the two into the courtyard.

When the two of them walked into the courtyard with the servant, it was obvious that Yu Weicheng bought the quadrangle courtyards on the left and right, opened them up, knocked them down and reorganized, making the entire courtyard long and narrow, and at the same time planted with flowers and trees.

"Mr. Wang, there are a lot of guests attending the cocktail party today, and the boss can't take a break in the house for a while, please forgive me. ”

The middle-aged male maid who led the way in front said politely.

I saw Wang Le smile slightly and said, "Uncle Yu is an elder, so there is no need to see too much." ”

In this way, the three of them did not walk to the main house along the granite path among the flowers and plants, but came to a bungalow in the west, with some years of blue brick structure and carved wooden windows.

At this time, the pine door that had been brushed with tung oil was not closed, and the laughter in the room could already be heard before Wang Le got close.

"Mr. Wang, Miss Mu, please come in. The middle-aged male maid who walked in front of him turned sideways to give way, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile.

Wang Le nodded, handed the gift in his hand to the male servant, and then led Mu Xiyan across the threshold and into the house.

At this time, Yu Weicheng, who was entertaining relatives and friends, saw Wang Le come in with a young woman who was as beautiful as a flower, his eyes suddenly lit up, he confessed to the people around him, and went to Wang Le and Mu Xiyan to greet him.

"Xiaole, why didn't Professor Ning come with you?"

I saw Yu Weicheng walking in front of Wang Le and asked with a smile.

Wang Le smiled and replied, "You also know that she is physically inconvenient, so it is not easy to go out." ”

Then Wang Le continued to introduce Yu Weicheng: "Uncle Yu, this is the boy's fiancée Mu Xiyan. ”

Mu Xiyan, who was standing next to Wang Le, took over the conversation and greeted Yu Weicheng with a smile: "Hello Uncle Yu. ”

I saw Yu Weicheng looking at Mu Xiyan, as if returning to the era when youth was flying and flourishing, paused for a few seconds before he came back to his senses, laughed with emotion, and praised: "It is only Mu Zhengnan, the school grass of Beijing University back then, that can give birth to such a beautiful daughter." ”

Immediately, Yu Weicheng looked at Wang Le, laughed and continued: "Nowadays, it is said in this society that if you want a good wife, you will have to work hard for ten years, and it is really a great blessing for your kid to marry Mu Zhengnan's pearl, but you must know how to cherish it." ”

At this time, Wang Le smiled and replied: "Ten years less struggle, Uncle Yu is too much to underestimate my nephew's lazy nature, if you want me to say, there is no need to struggle in this life, just enjoy it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Xiyan, who was so embarrassed that her face was flushed, glared at Wang Le fiercely, if it weren't for the public, Miss Mu's jade hand would have already pinched Wang Dashao's waist.

"Hey, isn't that Wang Le, the grandson-in-law of the Mu family?"

"How can the little white face know Boss Yu too, it seems that he is still very familiar. ”

"You're really talking nonsense, Boss Yu and Mu Xiyan's father were old classmates at Beijing University back then, of course the little white face can use the light of the old father-in-law to get to know Boss Yu. ”

・・・・・・

In the room, groups of three or five gathered together, and some people who recognized Wang Le and Mu Xiyan, especially the young children who came with the elders, were discussing in a low voice.

"Time flies, the last time I saw your father, it was when he was at the grassroots level in Jiangnan, when he went to the United States to investigate, we met in a café on the west coast, and it has been more than 20 years. ”

Yu Weicheng said about Mu Zhengnan with emotion, and then asked Mu Xiyan: "How many times your father has returned to the capital, I have been in China recently, if I can, it is also a good thing to find an old classmate to get together." ”

I saw Mu Xiyan smile and replied: "My dad has worked hard all his life, except for going back to Beijing for meetings for so many years, most of the rest of the time he stays in Jiangnan, if the family doesn't go to Jiangnan, they rarely see him, Uncle Yu's words, I will call him tomorrow morning." ”

Yu Weicheng smiled, and then said: "He is very busy, I hope not to forget my old classmate." ”

Mu Xiyan hurriedly replied: "My dad often mentions to me the past when he was in college, and he seems to miss it very much, how can he forget Uncle Yu." ”

"Huh!" Wang Le's cheeks twitched, when his wife was on the road just now, he knew that Yu Weicheng was his father's college classmate, and he wanted to kill Su Yunping with a gun back then, which was a very taboo thing.

Obviously, Wang Le didn't believe that the old father-in-law would mention the past of his college days, you know, this is a deep scar that can be seen in the bone.

"Women are really born masters of acting!"

Seeing that his wife lied and didn't make a draft, just like the truth, Wang Le muttered to himself in his heart.

Yu Weicheng glanced at Wang Le, laughed noncommittally, and said meaningfully to Mu Xiyan: "Time is the touchstone for testing human nature, after so many years, Uncle Yu has only discovered that he underestimated your father, he is much better than someone." ”

After a pause, a trace of gloom flashed in the depths of Yu Weicheng's eyes, and he continued: "Those old classmates back then all underestimated your father. ”

Wang Le's heart trembled, he didn't make a sound, and remained silent, Mu Xiyan also heard that Yu Weicheng had something to say, as for someone the other party said, if he guessed correctly, it was Su Yunping.
