Who is so face-saving?

Under Wu Xie's persuasion, the two revealed something. They only knew that the boss's surname was Huo, and she was a woman, and others called her Mrs. Huo, who was very famous, and had a nickname called "Huo Xiangu".

When Wu Xie heard this name, he suddenly realized, it turned out to be Huo Xiangu, Lao Jiumen, it seems that the origin of this is really not shallow.

Wu Xie returned to the room and discussed with A-Ning, and the two of them called Mengli and the fat man.

When Mengli received a call from A-Ning, she was accompanying Mr. Meng in the hospital.

"Grandpa, I'll go out and answer the phone." Mengli pointed to her phone, and after the old man nodded, she walked out of the ward.

"What's wrong, Anin? What is Wu Xie doing? Mengli asked. But she also guessed that the drawings of Style Lei had been found, and the next thing was to ask Huo Xiangu for clarification.

Aning didn't know what she was thinking, and said it briefly.

"Okay, I got it. I'll arrange this matter, and when you arrive in Beijing, remember to make a phone call, and I'll send someone to pick you up. Mengli paused, then continued, "Remember to dress modestly, but not too formally." ”

"Hmm. I'll tell Wu Xie. Aning replied.

After hanging up the phone, Mengli just walked into the ward, and the old man said, "If you are busy, go and be busy." It's not that no one takes care of me. ”

Mengli smiled helplessly. But smiling, she still replied very honestly: "Grandpa, I'm going to see Grandma Huo in a few days." ”

"Is it about that? The call from the Wu family? "The old man also knows about them, because yesterday Mengli asked him about Style Lei.

As soon as Mengli asked, the old man felt that the matter was not simple, and then Mengli told the old man about it, and after the old man heard it, he sighed meaninglessly.

Mengli nodded: "It's okay." ”

The old man sighed: "That kid from the Wu family is too curious, and sooner or later he will harm himself." Wu Laogou named him "Wu Xie", just hoping that he would be innocent and clean. It's a pity......"

It's a pity that the true meaning of Wu Xie's name is indeed the literal "innocent", but the deep meaning of this Wu Xie is not to let Wu Xie get rid of fate, but to let Wu Xie walk into such a fate, with the cleanest posture, using the identity of the interpreter, to break into the interior of the Wang family, to complete one or more steps in the layout of the Wu family.

This point is very, very desperate, even if the guilt is so full of tears, Wu Laogou still threw his grandson into a fate that will never be recovered, no wonder Wu Xie started a comprehensive counterattack at all costs.

"Girl, be careful." The old man said earnestly.

Mengli smiled knowingly: "I know." ”

Since you are involved in the game, you have to be careful with everything, especially "it".

To make a long story short, Huo Xiangu made an agreement.

Wang Meng returned to Hangzhou, and Wu Xie and A Ning went to Beijing three days later.

The dream guy planned to drive Wu Xie and A Ning to the army. District. At the gate of the compound, as soon as the two got out of the car, they saw Mengli and the little brother standing at the door.

"Little brother, Mengli." Wu Xie greeted.

A-Ning nodded to the two.

The little brother was wearing a dark blue hoodie, his face was expressionless, but he was very eye-catching.

Mengli smiled: "It's here." ”

"Shall we go in now, then?" Wu Xie pointed at the army. District. Compound asked.

"Wait, the fat man hasn't come yet."

As soon as the words fell, the fat man came over with a smile: "Yo, I'm waiting for the fat man." Fat man, I'm here, let's go in? ”

"Don't talk nonsense when you go inside," Meng Li instructed, "especially you, fat man." ”

"Come on, fat man, I'll shut up." The fat man made a zipper motion.

Mengli took them away, walking through the community, this piece is really big, walked for a long time into an alley, has been going inside, there is a winding path inside, all kinds of towering ancient trees grow out of the courtyard on the side, as if they have entered some temple, I really didn't expect that there is such a cow scenery hidden in a certain community in Beijing, it is really hidden in the city.

Until they walked to the end of the alley, they entered through a very inconspicuous small door, and there was a large courtyard inside, and they saw the old lady sitting in the courtyard drinking tea at a glance, and Huo Xiuxiu was sitting next to her, obviously they had been waiting for a while.

There was a persimmon tree in the yard, a well underneath, and some plants that were very valuable at first glance, and it felt like it was the house of a well-off family before, and the five of them walked in.

"Grandma Huo," Mengli shouted obediently.

"The dream girl is here. Come and let me have a look," Mrs. Huo beckoned her over, held her hand, and said angrily, "You, you don't know how often you come to see me." ”

Mengli smiled flatteringly: "I'm not coming, isn't there still Xiuxiu with you." ”

"yes, grandma." Huo Xiuxiu received Mengli's eyes and pretended to ask casually, "Liuli, what are you bringing them for?" ”

"Oh, that's right," Mengli said again.

Mrs. Huo had already seen the little tricks of the two, and she didn't plan to debunk them, so she turned her eyes to the little brother and them: "Okay, you all sit down." ”

"Last time about the Crescent Moon Hotel, I, Mrs. Huo, was willing to gamble and lose. It's just that if it weren't for the dream girl, your head would still not be on your neck, which would be another matter. Mrs. Huo said.

Wu Xie and the fat man glanced at each other, and said in their hearts If it weren't for you, would we be like that?

"This time, you can ask whatever you want." Mrs. Huo said.

Mengli and Huo Xiuxiu glanced at each other, couldn't help but smile, and silently answered in their hearts: "I don't know if I don't say it." ”

So Wu Xie went straight to the point: "Then you are willing to tell us?" ”

"Don't you want to know why I'm paying so much for your style thunder?" Old Mrs. Huo stood up, made a gesture of going with her, and then said, "I won't say anything about this matter if it is left to others, but you are also a descendant of Lao Jiumen, not an outsider, but please stay outside the door for those three." ”

"Grandma Huo, I won't go in." Mengli said with a well-behaved face.

"Okay, then you and Xiuxiu greet the guests well."

Wu Xie followed Mrs. Huo into the side compartment, as soon as he entered, he saw that it was a collection room, full of antiques, there was no furnishings, just rows and rows of shelves, although it looked like an old house, but as soon as he entered, he felt thorny on his face, there was static electricity in the air, and it seemed to be constant temperature and humidity.

All the collections were wrapped in newspapers, and Mrs. Huo took Wu Xie into the innermost part of several shelves, and he saw that there was a steel wire against the wall that was used to hang calligraphy and paintings, but the patterns on it were now hung with the pattern of style thunder.

Wu Xie counted a total of seven, and two of them were empty for a distance, obviously missing one. It should be his.

"This is the 'Thunder Eight Layer'." Old Lady Huo said, "Since you know style thunder, you should know what this thing is." ”

Wu Xie nodded, a little surprised, just glanced at it, he knew that this was the best of the style mines, and these seven drawings were actually the design drawings of a building, which was a multi-story building.

Seven sheets of paper are the structure of each floor, very clear, and this building is not a building in the general sense, its ground floor is the largest, and then go up and down layer by layer, at first glance it looks like a tower, but because each floor is the structure of the building, so it is much larger than the tower, more like the Mayan Sun Pyramid, in a general sense, in addition to the tower, there are few ancient buildings built so high, but it can also be seen that the top part is actually the structure of the tower, which can be called the building, only the bottom three floors.

"This is the pattern of Daoguang's twenty-five years, and the designer should be Lei Siqi." Mrs. Huo said, "I have seven here, which are the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors of the basement of the building, and the bottom layer should be in you." ”

"Is there anything strange about this building?" Wu Xie asked, at first glance, they were all very ordinary style thunder, although it can be roughly seen from the picture that these buildings have a backlit design, the same as the one in his hand.

"It may not be much to others, but it means something special to me." Mrs. Huo fiddled with these patterns, "The name of this building is Zhangjialou, in the seventies of the twentieth century, the patterns of this building began to appear abroad one after another, and they were acquired and returned to China, you know that Style Lei is a royal designer, it is impossible to design buildings for the people, but you look at the patterns here, it is completely the style of a private house, obviously between this Zhangjialou and Emperor Daoguang or Style Lei, what is the story, at that time I had a daughter, working in the Cultural Affairs Bureau, they had a project related to this building, at the end of 1978, They found the building in Guangxi. I remember that it was January 15th, and my daughter set off for Guangxi to participate in archaeological excavations, which was her first time away from home, and it was several months. ”

Old Mrs. Huo turned her head to look at Wu Xie, and her expression was a little gloomy: "I have always wanted to use this opportunity to exercise her ability, so when she came back, I was still very happy to talk to her, but I didn't expect that after she came back, her personality suddenly changed." ”

Wu Xie was thrilled when he heard the three words of Zhangjialou, and immediately thought of the ancient building at the bottom of Banai Lake, and wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. But as soon as he heard her last words, his brain twitched again.

"Changed?" Wu Xie said strangely.

"Yes, after she went to Guangxi, her personality became very eccentric, she used to have a very cheerful personality, but after she came back, her personality became very gloomy, basically stayed in her own room, I didn't know what she was doing, I secretly looked at her a few times, and found that she was in the house and had been painting something."

Generally, this situation is because she is out of love. Wu Xixin said that she must have painted her boyfriend's face.

Mrs. Huo continued: "I thought she was in love at first, but later I found out that it was not. Because she was on a business trip, I went into her house, and when I saw the paintings, I realized that something wasn't right. She paused, "It's all pen sketches, all the drawings are of a building, a very strange building." ”
