Chapter 1768 Humility Benefits, Full of Losses
The Koi Mansion is a big mansion bought by the Ye family back then, and not many people know what its original name was.
I heard that in the early years, this mansion was still a mansion where big officials lived, but then no one lived in it for a long time, and finally it was directly abandoned.
Until one day, a businessman surnamed Ye came back from abroad, bought this piece of house, spent a lot of money to renovate this house, and built everything in the entire mansion like a garden park, rockery ponds are all gathered, and people outside see the scenery here, all stretch out their thumbs.
The Ye family has lived here, and it has only been about ten years, even if it is the foot of the pillar in Yanjing City, everyone is secretly saying that this big mansion is a treasure of feng shui, otherwise how can they Ye family live here and then become developed.
So the people who live around here know the name of this koi mansion, but the name of the person is not a koi, the name is just a joke.
In this Ye family's mansion, there are nearly fifty people living inside and out, including nearly twenty of the Ye family's immediate family, and the rest are servants invited by their family.
Ye Zhenghao, the old man of the Ye family, also lives here, he has always lived in the courtyard in the west, he rarely comes out, and the family's business is basically handed over to his two sons, unless there is something that cannot be decided, he will come to him, and this old man rarely asks people to go to the back, saying that he doesn't want anyone to disturb his tranquility.
But today, the old man couldn't bear it anymore, and asked someone to directly arrest Ye Pengfei, who was playing crazy outside.
Ye Pengfei is also one of his grandsons, but he was not born to Ye Zhenghao's eldest son, but to his second son.
Ordinary people don't seem to be a big deal, and there is basically no difference, who would distinguish their children and grandchildren so clearly?
In fact, the Ye family is clearly divided in this way, because Ye Pengfei's father was not born to Ye Zhenghao's original wife, and in ancient times, he was generally called the young master of the second room.
The old man doesn't have a good eye for his second son, but he loves his grandson very much.
He knew that the Ye Group he founded could not fall into the hands of his second son in the end, and his grandson should not think about it, the best thing in this life is to be a small shareholder with no real power, and it is good to eat and wait for death.
But in terms of food and clothing, Ye Zhenghao still cares about Ye Pengfei very much, and even when Ye Pengfei wanted to set up his own door outside, this kind of thing that the whole family was very annoyed by, the old man agreed without thinking too much, and even asked for money to give money to people.
In the past two years, Pengfei Group's performance has been very good on the surface, and the old man even praised him in person.
But no one expected that just when Ye Pengfei was proud, his old man became angry and asked someone to arrest him directly from outside.
He didn't know why, but he knew that there must be a reason for the old man to do this, and it wouldn't take long for him to make things clear.
Ye Pengfei on the front foot was arrested, and the old man on the back foot asked someone to invite Ding Fan back.
That's right, it was Ding Fan, who had just come out of the hospital and was stopped by several cars, and Hu Yili reached out on his waist to draw a knife desperately.
But Ding Fan stretched out his hand to stop him, shook his head and followed the gang.
Hu Yili and Guo Siping drove behind and soon followed outside the small courtyard.
Seeing Ding Fan follow a few big men in, Hu Yili knew that he couldn't get in, so he simply sat outside the door and waited.
The order he received was to protect Ding Fan's safety, once something happened today, he would rush in as soon as possible, no matter who stood in the way, he would complete the task recklessly.
Ding Fan knew his character, so he followed these people directly into the compound, and there was nothing to worry about.
To put it mildly, these few people are not enough for him to fight by himself.
After entering the mansion, he walked through the courtyard along the way, passing by many courtyards, and Ding Fan's eyes were a little dazzled, so he stopped outside a seemingly very simple courtyard.
The previous courtyards, one by one carved beams and painted buildings, look beautiful, there are a lot of rockery pavilions, and there are a lot of strange flowers and plants planted in the yard.
It's just this yard, it doesn't look like it's the same level as the previous yards, not to mention small, and it smells rotten.
It's as if someone has moved a rust house from the countryside into the palace compound, and it looks particularly abrupt.
But the two people who sent him didn't go forward when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, as if there were some vicious dogs and beasts in this courtyard.
After a while, the door of the small courtyard was opened from the inside, and an old man walked out of it wearing a piece of clothing, glanced at Ding Fan with kind eyes, and said with a smile: "It's a little different from the rumors outside, sit inside!"
What does this old man mean?
To be honest, this person must not have seen him before, although I don't know who wants to see him tonight, but when he arrives outside the mansion, can't Ding Fan see it?
There are not many people who can have such a transcendent status in the Ye family, and this old man who lives in a remote courtyard is very likely to be Ye Zhenghao who was prompted by Song Yinhuai before.
Ding Fan followed behind him, looking left and right at the furnishings in the yard, thinking that there would be some small flowers and grasses, but in the whole yard, it seems that there are two pots of unknown flowers and plants in the corner of the yard, but because of the season, it has become a dead branch and rotten leaves and is thrown aside at will.
"You must be wondering, why are there flowers and plants in other yards, but I'm not a little angry here, right?" The old man walked in front and asked without looking back, as if everyone who came to him would be curious about this, and he didn't care about these smiles and said to Ding Fan: "This plant grows in spring and dies in winter, life and death are a cycle, when should they come back to life, these little lives have a spectrum in their hearts, I am an outsider, why bother doing this?"
This seems to be talking about the flowers and plants here, but if you taste it carefully, the old man seems to be talking about Ding Fan's nosy.
Could it be that he came to himself today just to tell him about Ye Pengfei?
Ding Fan shook his head and followed behind him and said: "Spring is born and summer is long, autumn is harvested and winter is hidden, the old man is proficient in the way of health preservation!"
Before the words fell, the old man walking in front suddenly stopped, turned around, glanced at Ding Fan behind him and said: "What I am talking about is the balance of heaven and the truth of endless life, you are a smart person, I don't like to listen to others say something stupid." ”
This old man's face really changes, one second he was amiable, and the next second he looked eerie.
After saying this, the old man didn't give Ding Fan a chance to speak, he turned around directly, walked inside with his hands behind his back, and seemed to have nothing to say to the person behind him.
Ding Fan was still thinking in his heart at this time, whether this old man was in age, and he would change his face when he said that he would change his face.
The courtyard looks very simple and simple, and the room where the old man lives is very simple, but the furnishings in the room can't help but look at it carefully.
Ding Fan didn't think he had this eyesight, and after entering the door, he just glanced around, but he didn't even have the interest to sit down.
Who has nothing to do and sit on top of a pile of antique treasures and feel like they are enjoying it?
"I've heard of your reputation for a long time, but I never thought that I would meet you one day, and I didn't expect that one day, you would target my family!"
The old man sat on the edge of the table, holding a teapot, and brought himself a cup of tea, as for Ding Fan, he didn't plan to care about it at all.
"Your old man came to me today, but just to tell me this, right?" Ding Fan looked around the room boredly, and found that there were really a lot of treasures in this room, but he really had enough of what this old man said.
The old man also seemed to see Ding Fan's impatience, put down the teacup in his hand, took out a delicate box from the side and put it on the table, and said: "This is a treasure I got recently, I got it from a foreign auction, I heard that you have a little eyesight, you might as well palm it!"
Before Ding Fan could agree, the old man had already reached out and opened the box directly.
Inside the box is a piece of porcelain, on a white porcelain surface, with a blue and white cobalt brush depicting eight five-clawed golden dragons, each with a carved golden dragon in the cup, a total of nine.
The porcelain dragon in the middle of the cup has a small black dot on the neck, which looks very mysterious, but the origin of this thing has been revealed.
"Kowloon Fair Cup, looking at the craftsmanship, it should be from Jingdezhen, but I don't know if it's the set that Zhu Yuanzhang used back then!"
Ding Fan carefully put the thing back into the box, if this thing was a cup used by the emperor back then, I am afraid it would not be an exaggeration to call it a national treasure.
I don't know what this old man is doing with this thing, is it just to show himself off, by the way?
"You really know a lot, there are not many young people nowadays who can have such a vision as you!" the old man said, covered the box again, pushed it forward and said: "This thing, I gave it to you, you can give it to the country, or keep it yourself, I just hope you can understand the meaning of this thing, and it can be regarded as living up to the old man's hard work!"
Give it to yourself?
Although Ding Fan likes this thing, he really hasn't thought about getting his hands on it.
After all, this thing will probably be very hot in your hands!
If he really takes this thing away today, as he said, whether he keeps it for himself or returns it to the country, it will be a trouble in the end.
But the old man had just mentioned a question of meaning, and Ding Fan immediately understood what he meant.
"Does the old gentleman want to warn me that the truth of being humble and benefiting is full of losses?" Ding Fan glanced at the old man, rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still want to use this thing in exchange for Ye Pengfei's life?"
"I think you should keep this thing yourself, Ye Pengfei instructed his subordinates to hurt people and attack the police, and the impact caused by it is definitely not something that can be filled with a cup. ”
"Qian benefited, full of losses, you better tell him this, now go out on the street and ask, what kind of reputation is your grandson now?"
"Although the yard is good, but you have been in this yard for too long, take a good look at your Ye family!"
After saying the last sentence, Ding Fan turned around and left the room, from the door to the door, he didn't sit down, and moved every grass and tree here.
And the old man sitting at the table suddenly changed his expression, looked at the departing Ding Fan with a resentful expression, and muttered in a low voice: "When you walk out of this courtyard, you will have to bear the consequences!"
