In the living room of the Zhou family, there is a pair of embroidery one foot wide and half a meter long on the coffee table.

This is a colorful portrait of the former president of Tian*men shining under the blazing sun, surrounded by smiling and innocent flower-giving children.

The eyes of the characters inside are vivid and lifelike, the flowers are superimposed on each other, and the fragrance of silk flowers is faintly smelled, which is extremely characteristic of Suzhou embroidery.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at Zhou Jiao with a frown. When he saw this Su embroidery, he knew how much effort this child had put into it in just two months. He also understands his daughter's hard work, but the price is the child's health, so how can he be willing to give it?

"Dad, it's true that I take some time every day, don't believe you ask my brother, did I stay up late? I'm fast. I usually have to review my homework, so I don't really spend much time. Zhou Jiao raised her hand and said.

Zhang Guoqing nodded helplessly. She didn't stay up late, but it took a lot of time. He can't do anything about her, his daughter-in-law is very stubborn.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw that the matter had come to this, so he could only tell her not to embroider anything in the future. His family Jiaojiao strives to be perfect in his work, and these painstaking and eye-consuming things are put aside. He didn't dare to tell her early that he might have to meet the president, because he was afraid that she would think too much. Now he really doesn't know whether to admire his children for being in the forefront.

"Leave these frames to Dad. Don't wear a sweater if you have nothing to do, Dad's sweater is enough to wear for ten years and eight years. Tomorrow we will go to the street as a family, and we will buy some things and send them to your parents-in-law. Go to bed early today to refresh yourself. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded. Her mother is a little abnormal tonight, and the bell must be tied to the bell. She still left some time and space for her dad to figure it out on his own.

Early in the morning, Zhou Jiao got up early in the morning. Gu family's affairs, with Zhang Guoqing's help, she is much easier.

The military horn sounded, Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing ran twice with the soldiers, and played boxing with the old men. Now accompanying Aunt Chen to prepare breakfast, Zhou Jiao's face is full of smiles.

I don't know how Zhou Xiaozheng persuaded Lin Lishan last night. This will make her feel quite good, holding peace and coming to the kitchen from time to time, joking with Zhou Xiaozheng and Weng and her son-in-law.

The family had breakfast and arranged the children. Zhou Jiao deliberately changed into cargo pants and put on an old cotton jacket. In the past two days, she has discovered that this is the mainstream dress. Today, their family went out with a handsome man and a beautiful and fashionable woman, which was too eye-catching. She still likes to hide in the public.

As soon as she returned to the living room, everyone couldn't help but laugh. She has a unique style when she dresses like this, and she looks young, plus her face is ruddy, like a porcelain doll, and even Aunt Chen laughs when she hugs Ping'an.

Lin Lishan said angrily: "Isn't this very beautiful?" You love to be weird. What's wrong with being pretty. ”

"Really eye-catching?" Zhou Jiao frowned and looked down at her clothes, she felt very simple.

Zhou Xiaozheng clenched his fists to cover his smile, cleared his throat and said, "It's very popular." Put on a military coat and hat, and when you wear it, you can't recognize it when you meet acquaintances. "After speaking, he was the first to go out. He can't go if he doesn't go, for fear that his girl will be angry and ashamed.

This morning, shopping was the main thing, and Lin Lishan drove the car and asked them to follow her. It was almost noon after shopping from the friendship mall to the department store.

After returning home and having lunch, Zhou Xiaozheng took advantage of his wife and son-in-law to pack and send packages, and pulled Zhou Jiao to leave quickly. He wasn't interested in wandering around the mall.

The father and daughter left their families in the afternoon and drove around to find ancient books and magazines and buy the four treasures of the study.

Approaching dark, Zhou Xiaozheng took her to a courtyard house. The courtyard was antique, and the old man carefully took out a box and opened it, which made Zhou Jiao ecstatic.

"Mutton fat white, black jade black", for Go lovers, having 181 black jade sunspots and 180 sheep fat jade is a coveted pursuit. "Mutton fat is easy to obtain, ink jade is hard to find", mutton fat jade and ink jade are the best Hetian jade, and it is extremely precious to have both.

In her previous life, she had encountered a set, but unfortunately the material was ordinary. Zhou Jiao carefully picked up the two jars of chess pieces and opened the chessboard, and sure enough, it was inlaid with silver wire.

She heard on the side that it was the middle-aged work of the master in front of her. This look will cost a lot of money, and when she saw Zhou Xiaozheng taking out a few gold bars, she closed her eyes in distress.

Thousands of dollars are easy to get, but hearts are hard to find. She could only comfort herself repeatedly.

Zhou Xiaozheng knocked her on the head and pulled her away with a smile.

Sitting in the car, Zhou Jiao hugged her tightly in her arms and cherished the box, "Dad, this is so good, I am reluctant to let people touch it." Oops, it's a couple of houses. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed when he heard this, "It took him five years to make this set of chess pieces." If it weren't for the old man's family wanting to go abroad secretly, he wouldn't have sold it. Not expensive, not expensive at all. There is also a Ming Dynasty agate black and red chess pieces, real antiquities. The chess pieces of that house are well known and unsafe. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded knowingly. The first thing she felt when she entered the yard just now was that the family was going to lose blood and bad luck, but she didn't expect it to slip away quite quickly. No wonder it was traded in gold.

Zhou Xiao was driving away from this courtyard in a car, and suddenly remembered that there was something else he hadn't had time to tell Zhou Jiao. After two years of public-private partnerships, the rich people in Sijiu City were terrified, and those who could go abroad tried their best to get out. Others began to retreat to their rural villages, scattering their children across the country.

For safety reasons, after going to work, he arranged for two old subordinates from difficult families to move to the family's large courtyard. Instead of renting it to the public for free, he might as well be a favor.

"Jiaojiao, Dad will take you to the big courtyard to meet people. Now, except for the last lock, the first two courtyards I lend to the warriors below. Their hometown is remote, and they can't get a family home before they are in the army, so they rent it in the suburbs. I dismissed the helper your grandmother hired and let the two of them move in. It is safer to have military dependents in the house. ”

Zhou Jiao was overjoyed and praised him, "Dad, you are so smart!" There are also empty two-entry yards that are also borrowed. I don't have to go, you can see if the small courtyard is due to borrow someone. ”

"I'm not going to borrow anyone. At present, there are two military wives living there, and there is no problem at present, and we will see the situation later. The small courtyard is still lent to the Women's Federation. It's easy to lend it to private individuals. If it weren't for the fact that those two were under my hands, and their character was passing, I really didn't want them to move in. I take you to meet people, one is to let them remember you, and it is convenient for you to go back and forth at any time. The second is that there is a dark room inside, so no outsiders will take you to see it now. ”

"Mom doesn't even know?"

Zhou Xiaozheng smiled meaningfully. Cunning rabbit three kilns, how could he have such a big yard, he hasn't prepared yet.

Wujin Courtyard is located in the Houhai area, which is the most famous Shihai area in the capital.

Zhou Xiaozheng found a place to stop the car and pulled Zhou Jiao into the alley. He looked at his daughter who was out of his mind and hooked the corners of his mouth, and happily introduced the surrounding residents and scenic spots. For the scenic spots, he is more comfortable and eloquent.

Zhou Jiao touched the door in front of her, and her heart was full of emotion. Lin Lishan boasted about the big yard to her, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that if her father didn't come back, Gu Ruyi would definitely not give up this antique courtyard.

No wonder this courtyard was not surnamed Zhou in history. Without her father, she wouldn't be able to keep this ancient mansion.

"Dad, will this yard have an impact on your personal rating?" Zhou Jiao took advantage of the fact that no one was around, quietly pulled him and asked in a low voice. There are now many high G politicians living around, and at first glance, they were later assigned to live in. The original head of the household either disappeared from the world, or he fled from the liquidation.

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her, shook his head with a smile, pulled her into the courtyard, introduced Zhou Jiao to the military family members who lived here, and took her to the back of the last courtyard.

Coming all the way into the courtyard, Zhou Jiao was already numb. For Zhou Xiaozheng's introduction of this yard as hers, she disagreed. This can only be the ancestral home of the Zhou family in the future. She won't be able to hold on here in the years to come, and she may not be able to hold it up because of her father's military uniform. Her mind was racing fast, and how to avoid disaster weighed on her heart.

Zhou Xiaozheng stood in the room and laughed. The empty hall echoed with his rare laughter. He rubbed his daughter's head and looked at her with a smile on her face full of sorrow.

"That scares you? Dad has a back hand. You put a hundred hearts! Don't frown, it's ugly to death. Hurry up and go with Dad to see the darkroom to make you happy. Wait to remember the switch. ”

Zhou Jiao heard that he had a back hand, paused, paid attention to his expression, and breathed a sigh of relief. As he came to the lower room, he carefully memorized the switch, and tried to follow him in - fortunately, no treasure appeared.

Zhou Xiaozheng held back a smile, pulled her up, and said, "You can also put valuable furniture here." Find a time to bring Xiao Wu over and ask him to move you outside to guard. ”

After saying that, he thought about it, and it was better not to stimulate his daughter yet. Originally, I wanted to take my children to the suburbs, but now I forget it. Besides, keep it for her, just in case. No matter how good Zhang Guoqing is, people's hearts are unpredictable.

"There are some things that Gu Ruyi knows well. Are we doing something to prepare? Zhou Jiao was very disappointed with this old lady. She didn't even dare to touch the two boxes in her room now.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded. He didn't care, the things on his face were half a catty to the old woman. It is estimated that the old woman is still worried that he will report her. But since the child is worried, he depends on her.

"You handle it yourself. What you don't like is thrown outside. ”

Back in the compound, under the street lamp at the door of Zhou's house, Lin Lishan was already in a hurry. Seeing that the father and daughter had a big bag and a small bag, they hurriedly went over to take over from Zhou Jiao, complaining that they really knew how to go shopping and forgot to eat.

Zhou Jiao was most afraid that she would recite the mantra, so she quickly explained that Zhou Xiaozheng was taking her to the big courtyard to see the dowry.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Lin Lishan immediately changed the topic and began to talk about other things.

After dinner, I went back to the bedroom, and after Zhou Jiao held the child and fed it, she began to be stunned. She is not even in the mood to appreciate her favorite now.

Zhang Guoqing frowned when he saw her, thinking that she felt sorry for the child. He hurriedly took the child and comforted her that the weather was cold, the squeezed ** would not deteriorate, and she would eat safely.

Zhou Jiao frowned and whispered where the big yard was? Who lives there today? What are the valuables? Seeing him smile and nodded, he was very puzzled.

Zhang Guoqing knew as early as Lin Lishan told him that there was a big courtyard in Houhai. A set of courtyard houses worth more than 100 million yuan handed down by the ancestors of the Zhang family is in Houhai. He had seen all the pictures of the layout and decoration of the yard, and he had planned to wait for her to give birth to a child and the family would go to live for a while.

How could he not know how conspicuous that was? Since his father-in-law has found a military family to move in, no matter what the situation is in the future, will his father-in-law in the center be unprepared? He trusted his father-in-law very much. Since he said that he has a backhand, then rest assured.
