Chapter 372: The New Mansion in the Ancient City

It is precisely because Zhang Tianyuan feels that he has too few good things in his collection now, so he is very active in this black market action, and it is definitely more appropriate to go to that place to Taobao than to go to Panjiayuan.

If he is lucky, he will be content to get a few fine items.

However, although he knows that there are many black markets near the imperial capital, he doesn't know how to get there, if these black markets don't have acquaintances to help contact, then don't want to know, after all, the black market is not visible, and this secrecy work really has to be done very well.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianyuan asked: "Since Director Ouyang has arranged for me to do this, I should have already contacted it, how can I find these black markets?" ”

"Teacher Zhang is really as wise as a torch. Yes, I've got the black market invitations for you, you just need to bring these two invitations and you can go in! They will initially give you a general location, and will not tell you the specific location until half an hour before the black market starts, which is also to prevent the police from deploying nearby, which can be said to be very delicate. By the way, Jun Ruhai, the antique dealer who participated in the Treasure of China with you last time, also got an invitation, you can go with him, maybe you can play a cover role. Ouyang Lei Ting said with a smile.

"Jun is like the sea! Oh, I remember, before going to Los Angeles that time, he also invited me to go to the black market with him, and later when he returned to the imperial capital, he invited me again, at that time I didn't care too much because of other things, he should be a regular customer of the black market, follow him, it is estimated that it will be safer. Zhang Tianyuan clapped his hands and said.

"Now that he's invited you, it's easy. You'll be safer with him. Ouyang Lei Ting nodded.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said, "Jun Ruhai, I'll contact you." Besides, I have to ask you for an order. ”

"What order?" Ouyang Lei asked in surprise.

"Your baby daughter is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she has a strong sense of justice. I'm afraid she'll reveal our identities, so I want you to give me an order to let her go, and let her go to my arrangement. Zhang Tianyuan said.

Ouyang Xiaodan's character Zhang Tianyuan knows best, simple and impulsive, and has a special sense of justice, when he was in Shangpu before, he directly arrested people on the antique street, and almost had an accident. If he hadn't been there, I'm afraid he would have died.

Therefore, Zhang Tianyuan must not allow Ouyang Xiaodan to have similar behavior this time, this is for his own safety, and of course for Ouyang Xiaodan's safety.

"Xiaodan, I heard it, this time I went to the black market, you have to listen to Teacher Zhang, if you don't agree, then don't go." Ouyang Thunder agreed with Zhang Tianyuan's decision. He had heard that Zhang Tianyuan was young and old, and when he saw it today, it was indeed the case, with such a person, there would definitely be no accident. His own daughter listened to him, and there was nothing wrong with that.

"Got it, they're not children anymore." Ouyang Xiaodan was passing the word on the side. After hearing this, he pouted.

"It's for the best. So that's all for today, right? I still have a few things to do, so I won't stay longer. Zhang Tianyuan looked at the time. Today, I also asked Tie Ruisheng to look at the courtyard together, if you are sure that the courtyard can be occupied. Then he can bring his family back from Yuquan Mountain, after all, this courtyard house is much more lively than Yuquan Mountain, and it is convenient to buy anything.

"There is another matter, Mr. Zhang, because we want your help, we applied for a fee, but it is only 500,000, you can buy something, otherwise it will be too different." Ouyang Lei Ting said with some embarrassment.

500,000 may sound like a lot, but if you go to the black market to buy something, 500,000 is really not enough.

Zhang Tianyuan really didn't look down on the 500,000 yuan, so it was better to do it as a favor, he smiled and said: "I can't ask for money, as long as you have Director Ouyang to help you." If I want to buy something, it will definitely be with my own money, don't worry, I won't go through it. ”

"That's so embarrassing."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, the country's money is used on the blade." Zhang Tianyuan said so, but in his heart, he actually wanted to make friends with Ouyang Leiting, if it was before, he would definitely accept the 500,000 yuan happily, but today, he really doesn't care much about such a little money, and a good thing is estimated to be not enough money.

"Then I'll send you Teacher Zhang."

"Don't, don't, I'm a small businessman, how dare I work for you, the big director, in case others see it." Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly said.

"I'm going to send Brother Zhang, and the things are all gone." Ouyang Xiaodan volunteered to send Zhang Tianyuan out of the door.

"Go back, I can't play around with you today."

"Cut, you think I'm a kid, I know how to play all day long. By the way, you can take both invitations, and when the other party calls to inform me, you can just tell me. Ouyang Xiaodan said.

"Well, I'm leaving." Zhang Tianyuan got into the car and drove towards his courtyard.

Ouyang Xiaodan watched Zhang Tianyuan's car drive away, and sighed faintly, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

"What is the little girl sighing for?"

"Oh, Mom, Dad, you want to scare me to death." Ouyang Xiaodan patted his chest and was shocked.

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door in the middle of the night! Honestly, do you like Mr. Zhang? Ouyang Lei Ting asked with a smile.

"Dad! What are you talking nonsense, everyone has a girlfriend! Ouyang Xiaodan stomped his feet and said.

"If you have a girlfriend, you don't have a wife, but I heard Mr. Ye mention that his girlfriend is still in the United States, and who knows if there is any affection on each side of the day." Ouyang Lei Ting said: "Isn't my daughter confident? You're no worse than anyone else, if you like it, chase it, even if you fail in the end, you won't regret it, give up now, then there is no hope. ”

"Director, what you said is not right, what's so good about that surnamed Zhang, why do you have to let Xiaodan chase it, my Xiaoliang is very good." Gu Ruifeng didn't know when he came out, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Your Gu Liang is good, but the problem is that Xiaodan doesn't like it. I don't want an arranged marriage. Ouyang Lei shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's better for you to let Gu Liang chase Xiao Dan in turn, maybe it will be successful." ”

……

Of course, Zhang Tianyuan didn't know that this Director Ouyang actually encouraged his daughter to pursue him, a small businessman. After he left Ouyang's house, he went straight to the courtyard. Driving the car, looking out the window at the traffic. Zhang Tianyuan still feels that he can't integrate into the city, in terms of antiquity, this place is not as good as Xifeng, in terms of cordiality, there is no way to compare with Xifeng, the people here speak in Beijing, Zhang Tianyuan is very uncomfortable to listen to, he would rather listen to authentic Mandarin or Shaanzhou dialect. If you want to talk about the climate of the imperial capital and Xifeng, it is really about the same. They all have a dry climate in the north, and they also have windy sand and haze, and the food is very close.

Others say that the old emperor is very cultured, but compared with Xifeng, it is still far behind.

Of course, the benefits of the imperial capital are that this is the center of cultural politics, at least in modern times, the cultural atmosphere is much stronger. And the competition here is also more developed, and there are definitely more things that can be bought than Xifeng, including antiques and jade.

There are also many people in the imperial capital. It's also lively, but after all, it's not his hometown, and Zhang Tianyuan can't fit in here in a short time. In fact, it is very normal, he is a wanderer after all. His real hometown is still in Shaanzhou.

Cars drive on the streets of the imperial capital, the modern roads and the ancient buildings that sometimes appear on the side of the road. It will make people feel a pleasing feeling in their hearts, the thousand-year-old city and modern civilization are very harmoniously intertwined, harmonious and unified, the ancient and the modern seem to have been perfectly integrated, the white-collar workers who hurry to work on the side of the road, the hawkers and the old people who carry the birdcage to walk the birds, are also a vivid and lively picture.

Sometimes you drive past a modern residential area and suddenly enter a complex of ancient buildings, and you can really mistake yourself for crossing through.

When the car drove into the old Hutong Cultural Reserve, Zhang Tianyuan deliberately slowed down the speed, the streets here are not wide, there are quite a lot of people, there are often children running around on the road to play, but I don't dare to drive too fast, otherwise something will happen. When you enter here, you can clearly feel a humanistic atmosphere of historical vicissitudes coming to your face.

This is not the first time Zhang Tianyuan has come to this alley, the first two times because of the hurry, so the feeling is not very deep, the next few times, each time he deliberately slowed down the speed, slowed down, felt as if suddenly away from the hustle and bustle of the city of humanistic fun, that is really funny.

This is not the quiet and lonely away from the city in Yuquan Mountain, the distance here is the distance from life and spirit, and you can feel the things that you can't feel in the busy metropolis here.

I just chatted for a long time at Ouyang Leiting's house, and it was already more than nine o'clock at this time, although most of the white-collar workers who went to work had already arrived at the company, but the small vendors on both sides of the street were still full of stalls, some selling authentic imperial snacks, some selling food from all over the world, as well as selling vegetables, fruits and other daily necessities, it was really lively.

You can see a lot of big-nosed and red-eyed foreigners who are talking about prices with the vendors, and the blue bricks and red tiles on the walls full of historical atmosphere, you can see the old trees that are trying to stretch their branches out of the wall, some of these trees are older than the house, when the house was built, it was directly encircled, and the dark green moss in the dark place at the corner of the road all reveal the accumulation and precipitation of the history here.

If Zhang Tianyuan is a person who writes articles, then he will definitely feel very comfortable in such an environment, after all, such an environment is a place where writers' inspiration can often emerge.

Zhang Tianyuan did not park the car in the parking lot far away from the courtyard as before, but drove directly to the vicinity of his courtyard, he heard Tie Ruisheng say that the courtyard has been completed, so the garage should have been repaired, and the car is parked in his own garage, so it is reassuring. From the car window, you can see that the shacks that were illegally built by some small traders have all been demolished, and replaced by an antique corner tower, with the eaves on both sides, like huge horns, very beautiful.

I have to say that in this world, it is really easy to do things with money, and in the past, near this courtyard, there were often small vendors pushing tricycles to buy vegetables, and beggars squatting in the corner to bask in the sun.

But after the renovation of the courtyard this time, all those things are gone, and the place is very clean and gives people a completely new feeling.

Of course, Zhang Tianyuan knows that someone has helped him clean up the surrounding environment, but these must require money, and money can make ghosts grind, what else can't be done? (To be continued......)
