Chapter 35: Everything Has Me

When he was a child, Li Zhongtian has been living in this courtyard, but he moved out when he grew up, sometimes looking back, he still feels that this courtyard is incomparable to his many luxurious villas, in the words of the old man Nie, it is down-to-earth, and the courtyard houses in Beijing are now protected cultural relics, especially like this Liuyin Street courtyard house is only the treatment that national leaders or important leaders can have after retirement, but this treatment is not given to these leaders and leaders, Most of these people will have to be taken back after a hundred years, like the courtyard houses on Liuyin Street are not comparable to those courtyards on the plane, these small courtyards are rare but of great significance, and the courtyards outside like Dongsi can still be bought for tens of millions of dollars to find some relationship, but these courtyards for retired national leaders are by no means material exchange, of course, those who can enjoy this kind of treatment are not the honors that casual leaders can get, At least a person like Li Zhongtian's grandfather, Nie Shiping, who was once at the level of deputy general staff of the Beijing Military Region, can have this honor, and today it is this old man who has been fighting horses all his life to call Li Zhongtian back, and Li Zhongtian also does not know what is going on to trouble the old man to recuperate, and he calls himself back.

Most of the courtyard houses in Beijing are brick and wood structure buildings, the house frame purlins, columns, beams (柁), sills, rafters, doors and windows, partition doors and so on are all wooden, the wooden house shelves are surrounded by brick walls, Liuyin Street courtyard is no exception, the beams, columns, doors and windows and cornice rafters have paint and color paintings, although not as brilliant as the palace garden, but also colorful. The wall is accustomed to using grinding bricks and broken bricks to build the wall, and the so-called "Beijing City has three treasures...... Rotten bricks build walls and walls do not fall". Most of the roof tiles are made of green board tiles, the front and back are interlocked, the eaves are loaded with dripping, or not paved with tiles, all with green ash to wipe the roof, called "ash shed".

The construction of the courtyard house is very particular about feng shui, from the selection of the site, positioning to the determination of the specific scale of each building, must be carried out according to the theory of feng shui. Beijing Courtyard House, famous all over the world; In the old Beijing, in addition to the Forbidden City, the Imperial Garden, the Temples and Temples and the Imperial Palace, a large number of buildings were the countless residences of the common people. Liuyin Street Courtyard is to sit in the east and west direction of the alley and sit north and face south, the basic form is to live on four sides of the north room (main house), south room (inverted seat room) and east and west wings, surrounded by high walls to form a quadrangle, open a door, the courtyard is the courtyard in the middle of the courtyard, the courtyard is spacious, the courtyard is planted with a few begonia trees, the pomegranate bonsai, the goldfish are raised in a large tank, the meaning is auspicious, the outdoor living space of this courtyard is like an open-air large living room, the world is close to the hearts of the people, this point is the most Li Zhongtian loves and loves. The courtyard is a closed house, outside is the Denei Street, after the wooden door is closed, it becomes a world of its own, with a strong privacy, very suitable for human habitation, which is also the reason why the rich and powerful people like to love the courtyard now.

Li Zhongtian was led by the old man through the brick road to the east wing, and after entering the door, he saw his second uncle Nie Mintian who called him, and the second uncle Nie Mintian inherited the mantle of his grandfather Nie Shiping and embarked on the road of the army, but according to the current situation, it is still blue, as for whether it can be better than the blue has not yet reached the time when the coffin is closed, Nie Mintian is reading a document, and when he saw Li Zhongtian come in, he put down the greeting and asked him to sit down and talk, and he did not mean to put the document away, Li Zhongtian just glanced at the letter on the table and didn't pay attention to this confidential document, which was likely to be an internal reference, there were some things that should be understood and not changed.

"Why haven't you been back to the yard much during this time, are you very busy" Nie Mintian asked, Li Zhongtian replied that it was okay, but recently the Bank of China has some information to see and deal with, and there may not be much time to come over to see the old man and everyone, Nie Mintian admires Li Zhongtian very much that no matter what things happen or what kind of chief he encounters, he is calm and steady, not humble and not arrogant, which is the bearing and ability that many young people of this age do not have, Many children like Li Zhongtian are cowering when they encounter themselves, the deputy commander, and they can't talk clearly, how can they have Li Zhongtian's attitude of never being shocked.

"Oh, try to handle these work things as dutifully as possible, but you still have to take the time to come and see the old man, after all, the old man likes and appreciates you the most, and you look a little better with the old man." Nie Mintian took a sip of tea.

Li Zhongtian snorted and said, "Yes." ”

"Calling you back this time is for you to do something, this is what the old man meant, the old man thinks that you should do this thing, and you must be able to do it, no matter how much it costs." Nie Mintian is very serious when it comes to business, which may be related to the profession, this sentence is somewhat like giving orders to his soldiers.

"So this matter is not small, and it should be closely related to us, but there haven't been too many ups and downs in the recent period, what are you talking about?" Li Zhongtianzai thought about it carefully, and after thinking about it, he didn't feel that there was any change in Beijing. It looks like it's the same as usual.

Nie Mintian smiled faintly and said: "Most of you think that nothing big has happened in Beijing, it is true that this matter is not Beijing's business, I will reveal something to you and let you guess what it is, this matter is to let you help people wipe their butts." ”

Li Zhongtian lay back, closed his eyes, thought about it, and said, "Nanjing's matter." ”

"Correct." Nie Mintian said, he really admired the speed of this guy's head thinking about things, and his brain was not ordinarily flexible.

Li Zhongtian took a sip of the tea made by Nie Mintian, did not speak, and was silent in thought.

"You're wondering what this has to do with us, aren't you? Why spend this kind of thankless and very dangerous to do this, your doubts The old man said that you will understand later, you don't need him to explain, you just need to do it, this old man, your uncle and I all think that only you can reduce the risk and get things done, we all agree to believe in you, of course, if Nanjing wants to burn the jade recklessly, you don't have to be afraid, the worst result is that the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, it's not a big deal, But people must be kept, this is the fundamental core. Nie Zhongtian said slowly.

"Having said so, then I can only be ordered to go to the Hongmen banquet in danger, you don't want to cheer me up first, Nanjing's thing is a dead knot that can't be untied, and the group of corpses in Nanjing have no ability and measurement, but the ability to repay the flaws is a group of old immortals who are stronger than anyone else, I really don't know what the result of this matter will be, I can only do my best, I am now more puzzled why we would touch this firecracker that has been ignited to fill the fire pit, but since my grandfather has spoken, I will know that I will not ask, Looks like I'm going to leave right now. Li Zhongtian said with a wry smile, how could this kind of fucking thing fall on him, and if he doesn't handle this matter properly in Nanjing, it will change dramatically.

Nie Mintian said: "We know that this matter is difficult, but we still believe in you, and only you can go, or only you have to go, not to mention anything else, I think it shouldn't be a big problem for my Nie family to protect someone, the big thing is how to make them swallow the knocked out teeth and blood." ”

Li Zhongtian just smiled, and only he knew his helplessness.

Then after chatting for a while, Li Zhongtian was rushed by Nie Mintian to serve the old man, the old man was in the north room of the courtyard, and after arriving in the north room, he saw that the two nurses of the General Hospital of the Beijing Military Region were measuring the blood pressure of the old man, and the two professional nurses also signaled with their eyes to wait and say hello after seeing Li Zhongtian, obviously the three of them knew each other, and after measuring blood pressure and finding that blood pressure became high, the two nurses persuaded the chief You can not practice calligraphy in standing for a long time, which is detrimental to the spirit and spirit, and is not conducive to health and maintenance, and said a lot of suggestions, After listening to this, the old man nodded with a smile and said Okay, old man, I will remember to pay attention, and then the two nurses went out very interestingly, leaving space for this pair of grandchildren. Old Man Nie sat in the rocking chair and nodded, signaling Li Zhongtian to sit down and speak.

"Min Tian told you." The old man asked with his eyes closed.

"Well, I said, I'll leave for Nanjing today." Li Zhongtian replied, he didn't swear that he would be able to do it, he would never promise or affirm anything before the result came out, people are not as good as heaven, and there are no absolutes in everything.

"Well, I wonder why we got involved and jumped into the fire pit." The old man continued.

Li Zhongtian replied: "Yes, but let's wait for me to slowly realize it." ”

"Hehe, you guy is still sincere, well, you yourself will understand later, those two people are saved but don't need to be brought back to Beijing, and if the matter is solved, go back to Beijing immediately, with grandpa here, let it go, as long as grandpa doesn't braids for a day, then the sky of the Nie family won't fall for a day." The old man opened his eyes and said.

"Well, my grandfather will live for a hundred years, and I am still waiting for you to hold your great-grandson." Li Zhongtian smiled and said, it is true that as long as the old man does not leave for a day, then it is impossible for the Nie family to disperse, and now the two heroes of the Nie family, that is, Li Zhongtian's eldest uncle and second uncle, are almost able to support this sky, and the phenomenon of green and yellow is not as serious as that of other families.

The old man was obviously very happy to hear this, and his complexion was much better, and when people got old, they cherished their younger generations more and more, and this old man who had gone through several ups and downs and had half his life was no exception, and the old man said in a very happy tone: "Okay, I, an old immortal, have to live for a few years for you to live for a few years, so that I can go with peace of mind." ”

Li Zhongtian replied: "There will be that day." ”

"That's what you said, don't bully me, the old man has a bad memory, I'll ask someone to write it down later."

"Hehe, how dare the kid deceive the chief."

"I don't dare to agree with this, you guy hasn't been honest since he was a child, and he has played with me in this old guy in a variety of ways, okay, don't talk about this, since you're here, play a few songs for me to listen to, and take the things yourself in the cabinet."

"Okay." Li Zhongtian is familiar with the way to go to the cabinet to take out the red sandalwood erhu, this red sandalwood erhu can be exquisite, the unpainted red sandalwood presents a natural black, the appearance of purple gas, full of grace and luxury, with a selection of wild python spine tail skin masking, the sound quality is pure, solid, calm, thorough, the timbre is round, gorgeous, bright, atmospheric, plus the traditional handmade method, the wood selection is very regular, the color and texture must be consistent, and then the use is a closed-cell coating handicraft called light throwing, So that every part of the erhu has to go through countless times to fill the brown eye grinding and polishing, especially the corners and bending joints, must be smooth, clean, no sand marks, tight seams, neat and symmetrical, such a high process and high material approach to appear timbre is far from other materials of erhu can be compared, this is already the highest and most luxurious process of erhu, obviously the value of this erhu is immeasurable, Li Zhongtian also can't put down this artwork erhu, repeatedly pulled a lot, Tuning the timbre over and over again until he was satisfied, he asked the old man, "I don't know what song the chief wants to listen to?" ”

The old man, who closed his eyes again, said: "Then let's have a song "Horse Racing" that is not amazing and endless." ”

Suddenly, the sound of the song is galloping and agitated, and the emotions are excited, which makes people fluctuate with the rhythm of the beating.

??????

After leaving the courtyard, Li Zhongtian took Grandpa Hua to the Bishui Manor along the Badaling Expressway, he has a villa here, he currently lives here, as for Grandpa Hua is going to follow Li Zhongtian to Nanjing, although the Nanjing incident will not put his life in danger, but it is inevitable that unexpected things will happen if he is not at home, but as long as there is Grandpa Hua in these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, it is not a problem, Li Zhongtian has thought since he was a child that as long as Grandpa Hua is around, he will go anywhere in the world.

After taking a shower, I made a few phone calls in the study, pondered a little, and received a call from Chen Junhu, saying that he was going to send the prince to the airport, and said that he wanted to go to Nanjing with the prince to break into the world, but he was rejected by Li Zhongtian, after all, this matter is not a joke, Chen Junhu's Dongfeng warrior arrived at the capital airport, and before getting off the car, he asked Huzi for the phone number of Huzi's second uncle who was the head of the Jiangsu Provincial Organization Department in Jiangsu, Huzi said that he wanted to call and inform him, Li Zhongtian just shook his index finger and said that he didn't need it.

Everything has my self-confidence.

After getting off the plane that night, he stayed at the most famous Jinling Hotel in Nanjing, and stayed in the presidential suite, and then several Nanjing first-line gentlemen walked into his room one after another, as for what happened and said nothing, no one knows.
