Chapter 138: The shy resentment in the bag
Located somewhere in the north of the Xiangjiang River, there is a courtyard house with a rather ancient history, which is rumored to be built by a relative of the former Qing Manchurian Emperor during the Republic of China to escape the war and come to Xiangjiang to ask someone to build it.

Later, the Manchu Emperor's relatives and relatives were in decline, and the descendants were not angry, so they sold this courtyard house in more than ten years, and now the owner of the courtyard is Ni Frame, one of the four great talents of Xiangjiang.
"Knock knock knock....." A quick knock on the door broke the calm of the courtyard.
"It's coming, it's coming. Soon after the knock on the door, the door was opened, and there stood a middle-aged woman of about sixty years old, dressed as a servant, of medium stature, and of a rather ordinary appearance.
"Young Master, you're back. As soon as she saw the young man standing outside the door with a hint of anger on her face, the middle-aged woman smiled and welcomed the young man into the door.
"Hmm... Mama Lin, is my dad here?" Ni Zhen asked the middle-aged woman beside him with a slight smile on his face as he walked slowly in the direction of the hall.
On December 8, 1941, the Japanese army invaded Hong Kong, and on December 25, the then Governor of Hong Kong, Yang Muqi, went to the Peninsula Hotel to meet with the Japanese representatives to sign the surrender document, and Xiangjiang officially fell, and since then, Xiangjiang has stepped into three years and eight months of painful years.
After the Japanese army entered the city, they were lawless and evildoer, looting jewelry, hand ornaments and watches and other valuables everywhere, humiliating women, and Lin Xiuli was also brutally murdered and experienced a painful experience for several years.
Then Japan announced its surrender, and Lin Xiuli and many women like her were liberated, but because of several years of captivity, Lin Xiuli lost her fertility, and because of the evil deeds done to her by the Japanese, she never married.
And the reason why she is here is because she lives in poverty, but she has a good relationship with Ni Zhen's mother Li Guozhen, but she refuses to accept his mother's gift, and the family just lacks a servant, so she invited her to come to Ni Mansion to work.
"Young master, the master is in the backyard, and Miss Yishu and Mr. Huang Zhan are here. After hearing Ni Zhen's inquiry, Lin Xiuli immediately replied gently. A look of kindness appeared on his face.
She has known Ni Zhen's mother a long time ago, and it can be said that she watched Ni Zhen grow up, and Lin Xiuli herself lost her fertility and had no offspring, and other relatives were all murdered when Xiangjiang was occupied by the Japanese, so Ni Zhen was no different from her own son in her eyes, and she put all her feelings into Ni Zhen's body.
"Oh, my aunt is there, too?" Hearing Yishu's name, Ni Zhen frowned slightly. His so-called aunt has always been unaccustomed to his prodigal behavior, and always sued him in front of his father Ni Frame, which made Ni Zhen's heart very unhappy.
And what makes Ni Zhen most dissatisfied is that every time he falls in love with a female star in the entertainment industry, once it is reported by the media, or if Yishu knows a little rumor, she will personally call him and say him harshly, and even try his father three times to let him break up with those female stars.
So Ni Zhen has always been unaccustomed to what Yishu did, although he was kind to her on the surface, he didn't know how many times he scolded her in his heart, "hateful old woman." ”
"Yes, Miss Yishu came to find the lord and the lady early in the morning, and Mr. Huang Zhan came later. The middle-aged woman didn't see Ni Zhen's subtle expression of Zou Mei, and after hearing Ni Zhen's inquiry, she hurriedly replied.
"Oh, that's right. Mother Lin, you are busy first, I'll go to the backyard to find them. Without waiting for Lin Xiuli to agree to come, Ni Zhen walked out of the hall and walked in the direction of the backyard. When Lin Xiuli reacted, all she could see was Ni Zhen's back.
Although the location of the courtyard house Su bought by Ni Frame is a little remote, the area is not small, and Ni Frame and the family also know each other, so they bought it at a friendly price, but the price is also quite expensive, and it cost Ni Frame all his savings at that time, and he has not slowed down all these years.
Ni Zhen walked and looked at the beautiful scenery around him, and his heart was even more difficult to calm because of Mo Xuan's anger.
He grew up drinking foreign ink, went to a British-style primary school, and later went to the United States to study abroad, so his thinking has always been more Westernized, so since he was sensible, he has a lot of grievances against his father because of this courtyard matter.
Although his father is one of the "Four Great Talents" in Xiangjiang and has a deep relationship in the cultural circles, what is synonymous with literati is poor and sour. Of course, with Ni Frame's status in Xiangjiang, of course he is not poor, but his income is really not high.
His father, Ni Box, usually has a main source of income, but he helps newspapers write reviews, write articles, write novels, sometimes write screenplays, and attend events to earn a little money for carriage and horses.
Compared with ordinary people, their Ni family is of course a wealthy family, but compared to many rich people in Xiangjiang, it is absolutely unattainable, so don't look at him The Ni family is a well-known scholarly family in Xiangjiang, but in fact, it is just a name.
This is also the reason why Ni Zhen has always played with those so-called wealthy children of Xiangjiang, but he actually hates them in his heart. Without him, Hate Fuer. Watching them spend so much money, Ni Zhen himself .....
His Ni family is a well-known scholarly family in Xiangjiang, but even those nouveau riche who haven't read much books can't compare, which makes Ni Zhen, who has always regarded himself very highly, be able to balance in his heart.
However, his father Ni Frame also spent a lot of money to buy this set of remote courtyard houses, which made him even more "shy", if it weren't for his rhetoric, where could he soak so many female stars, how could he not have resentment in his heart.
In Ni Zhen's opinion, Ni Frame has this money, so it is better to go to the famous villa area on Hong Kong Island to buy a few villas, which are both "cheap" and dazzling, but he wants to buy a dilapidated courtyard house.
Ni Zhen pushed open the door of the backyard, and then walked through a small winding aisle to a patio. The patio is very spacious, an old crooked-necked locust tree shades the autumn sun, and the whole courtyard is shady and cool, and under the grape trellis in the small courtyard sit four people, two men and two women.
When he was not far from the grape trellis, Ni Zhen hid all the anger and resentment on his face, replaced it with his usual personable young and handsome appearance, and then shouted affectionately as he walked: "Dad, aunt, Uncle Zhan, I'm back." ”
"Haha, Ah Zhen is back, come on, let Uncle Zhan see, you kid, you haven't been to work in my company for a long time. ”
