Chapter 834: The Hermit of the Deep House
Hearing Lady Na's words, the fat man immediately became furious.
But before he could say those ugly words, he was stopped by Zhang Meng.
Anyway, Lady Na didn't show everyone the videotape, but just gave a precondition of 'after meeting Laizi', and when she saw Laizi, the truth would naturally be revealed.
Seeing that it had been discussed, everyone would not talk much here. Coupled with the little episode just now, everyone didn't even want to eat breakfast, so they packed up their things directly, and then under the leadership of the brown rat, they came to the alley of Sijiu City in old Beijing.
After turning a few street corners and entering an unknown alley, the brown rat finally stopped.
"Hey, old mouse, this is where Laizi is hiding?" Looking at the usual old house in front of him, the fat man looked left and right, and his words were full of disbelief: "In other words, Laizi is also a rich man, how did he find such an ordinary yard." I think the bricks and tiles of this exterior wall are almost still modern fired bricks, and they are not old houses! ”
"Hey!" Hearing the fat man's words, Zhao San on the side knocked him on the head with a cigarette stick and scolded: "What kind of tomb robber do you still call yourself, how can this old mansion be seen from the outside." ”
Hearing Zhao San's words, the brown rat on the side smiled and exclaimed, "It's still the third master's vicious eyes." ”
"What's that saying?" Zhang Meng also didn't understand it.
Hearing this, Zhao San explained: "Courtyards like this were not uncommon in the early days of liberation, and no one took these old Beijing dwellings seriously, but after the Cultural Revolution, the old houses in these alleys were all treasures." ”
"Oh?"
"Not to mention the soaring housing prices in Beijing, just the old house in front of you." Zhao San pointed to these old mansions standing side by side around him, and said: "In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is likely to be the mansion of Beile Beizi, many of which are still the mansions of the powerful old eunuchs in the palace, and people like them are generally unwilling to show off their wealth. ”
"But what the fat man said is right, if it's really an old mansion......" Speaking of this, Zhang Meng patted the wall on the side and stomped on it, broke a piece of adobe, and asked puzzledly: "How can these wall tiles be fired in a modern brick kiln?" ”
Hearing Zhang Meng's words, Zhao San sighed slightly.
Xiaolou on the side reminded in a whisper: "Brother Meng, you don't know about the political struggle in the mainland, these antiquities were counted as feudal superstition playthings during the Cultural Revolution, and they can't be left......"
"Alas!" Zhao San shook his head: "Fortunately, the roots of this old mansion are still there." ”
"I said, don't feel nostalgic for the past and the present here." Hearing the conversation between Zhao San and the others, the fat man on the side knocked on the door impatiently and shouted, "Laizi! Raiko! I said you won't die if you die, right? ”
Seeing that there was no response inside, the fat man scolded more and more energetically.
"Dead fatty, curse me if it's okay." After a long time, Lai Zi's faint voice came from the house.
"Who told you to play dead and not open the door to the fat man." Hearing Laizi's response, the fat man suddenly grinned: "Come on, Laizi really lives here." ”
Lai Zi seemed to have expected everyone to come, pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Zhang Meng, Zhao San, Xiaolou, Lady Na and others, he did not show any surprise, but invited everyone into the courtyard as usual. While pleased, he also explained to the fat man: "It's not that I pretended to be dead and didn't hear it, I was drinking tea in the backyard just now......"
As everyone walked into the courtyard, they found that as Zhao San said, there was something in this old mansion.
The front and back are located in an orderly manner, covering an area of hundreds of square meters.
The front is the main hall, the backyard is the residence, along the way, there are rockeries and stone carvings, although it is not as large as the scale in the film and television drama, but the pavilions and pavilions are readily available, and there is no damage at all.
"I'll go, Laizi, you're fucking rich?" The fat man stammered.
The brown rat on the side had only followed Laizi outside before, and had never walked into the mansion, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but admire: "This is much richer than the ordinary old mansion, not counting the antiques here, this mansion alone will cost millions." ”
Before the brown rat finished speaking, he saw Lai Zi's gaze, and immediately closed his mouth as if he had encountered a natural enemy, and said no more.
"Millions?" Hearing this, Zhang Meng couldn't help but be surprised, although a few million is nothing in the eyes of the Zhang family, but in the mainland in the past nine years, this is a sky-high price.
"I said, Laizi, it doesn't look like anything in this is ......" Zhao San said as he realized the lady beside him, so he stopped talking.
Lai Zi didn't care and said: "The third uncle saw it accurately, not only the furnishings in this were added by me later, but even the pavilions, rockeries and rockeries in it were also restored to their original state after I re-repaired them during this time." ”
"Brother Laizi, do you still have this craft?" Hearing Lai Zi talk about repairing antiques, Zhang Meng couldn't help but be curious.
"That's a piece of!" Hearing Laizi's craftsmanship in repairing cultural relics, the fat man on the side seemed to show off for himself: "Laizi knows more than that, just repairing cultural relics, there are few people in the entire Chinese antique industry who can compare with Laizi." ”
Listening to the fat man's show-off, Lai Zi shook his head indifferently and said: "Don't listen to the fat man's nonsense, I'm just idle, do my friends a favor, make up this old house, and plan to live here in the future." ”
"It's good to be idle! We're going to take a trip to the north, how about it? Accompany us this time. Laizi's words were in the fat man's mind, and the fat man immediately smiled maliciously: "I remember that you didn't brag to me about your previous tomb robbery experience, didn't you say that you knew everything about the situation in the north?" ”
Laizi seemed to have guessed everyone's purpose a long time ago, and when he heard the fat man's words, he just smiled and shook his head.
"I said, Laizi, you can't be so uninteresting, right?" The fat man asked.
Yoriko still didn't speak, but continued to fiddle with his tinkering tools.
"Hey, if you don't want to go, you'll have a word! What do you mean by just laughing? The fat man knew that Laizi's expression was a sign of refusal, but he pretended to be confused and asked.
"Fatty."
"Huh?"
"Do you think my old house is good?" Laizi put down the tools in his hand and asked rhetorically.
"Good! Absolutely. The fat man looked around the surrounding environment and said with envy: "Fat man, I always dreamed of having such a house to live in for a long time." ”
"Now that this house is mine, if you were me, would it be necessary to take another adventure?" Laizi said: "Of course, if you come as a guest, Laizi and I are always welcome, but...... IMHO, I'm old and don't want to toss anymore. ”
