After a storm assessment, Li Weidong and Lou Xiao'e continued to walk towards the courtyard.

Follow the mossy brick path and through a small winding aisle to a patio.

The patio is spacious, and an old crooked-necked date tree shades the warm winter sun.

In the shade of a tree, an antique house is opening its doors.

The front of the room was a paper door, and Li Weidong entered the house.

The inlaid kang bed is hung with four hanging screens of Zhang Shengyu warblers, warblers, bees and butterflies cut and pasted in various colors.

The vermilion lacquer mottled table pillar frames, boxes and jars of tin ware are piled up.

There are sticks of incense on the ground, and there are two Dongpo chairs on top.

Lou Bancheng sat in one of them, and on the other sat an old man with gray hair.

"This is Comrade Li Weidong, today I am fortunate that you are a matchmaker, and Old Man Lou is willing to leave the antiques in the capital."

The old man stood up and arched his hand.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke in an authentic Beijing accent, and then looked at the old man's dress, a gray linen shirt, a white undershirt inside, and black pants on his legs.

In the cold winter wax moon, it looks a little freezing.

It complements his face that is a little paralyzed.

No, why is this person so familiar?

Li Weidong's eyelids were raised, and he almost slapped his thigh, isn't the old man the famous old man Guan?

Mr. Guan is a descendant of a tax collector and is obsessed with antiques to the extreme.

Under the fart plug, up to the snuffbox, everything is clear, all are fine, as long as you hold it in your hand, you can tell the age, known as the encyclopedia of walking.

In addition, he is warm-hearted and fair-minded, and is respected as the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

What's more, Old Man Guan is a shrewd person, and he has seen all kinds of methods.

The antiques of the Lou family are kept by Mr. Guan, which is very suitable.

"Weidong, this is my dad, you've seen it, this is Old Man Guan."

Lou Xiao'e introduced the identities of the two to Li Weidong.

After the greetings, Li Weidong said directly: "Time is urgent, let's start quickly."

After looking at Father Lou, Old Man Guan nodded, and then handed the paperwork at hand to Li Weidong and Old Lou.

Li Weidong carefully read the contents of the paperwork.

To sum it simply, Mr. Guan will help keep the Lou family's antiques from now on until the descendants of the Lou family retrieve them.

It also details the list and value of the antiques.

Among them, the value is not directly marked with the price, but is linked to the price of the grain.

From this point alone, we know that Mr. Guan is a particular person.

He even listed the disposal of these antiques after his death.

Li Weidong looked at it for a long time, and didn't find any problems in it, so he signed his name on the guarantor, and pressed a handprint by the way.

It is worth mentioning that if thirty years later, the people of the Lou family have not come to retrieve the antiques, then the old man Guan will hand over these antiques to the state under the witness of Li Weidong.

This was somewhat unexpected by Li Weidong, and he felt that this was not something that Lao Lou's temperament could do.

When he looked at Lou Xiao'e and saw her glaring at him, he realized that this was most likely a condition that Lou Xiao'e added privately.

And it's not surprising that Lao Lou would agree.

After all, if he didn't agree, he wouldn't want to leave the capital.

When the wind blows on me, I can't keep these things.

It's better to take it out generously, maybe there will be a chance to get it back in the future.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that after thirty years, many of those antiques have become national treasures, and they can't leave the mainland, which is exactly what Li Weidong is aiming for.

If there is no money, you can earn it again, and if you lose the inheritance of civilization, you can never get it back.

And Lou Bancheng found the old man Shangguan, purely because the two families are friends in the world and know the roots.

Others may not be able to preserve these antiques, but Mr. Guan can definitely do it, and there is no need to worry that he will be greedy for ink.

Except for the fact that Mr. Guan himself is a very honest old-fashioned person, he has accumulated many more antiques in his house than the Lou family.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the paperwork, Lao Lou also signed his name on it.

In this way, the instrument is considered valid.

In triplicate, Lao Lou and Mr. Guan each took one copy, and Li Weidong, the guarantor, also took one copy.

After the business was done, Old Man Guan asked Li Weidong about what happened outside just now.

Li Weidong didn't hide it, and said it 1510.

Probably because Old Man Guan was born with some facial paralysis, and after listening to Li Weidong's words, the expression on his face did not change.

Only Lao Lou, who was familiar with him, could see from some of the small actions of the old man Guan that the old man was really a little annoyed this time.

Come to think of it, Li Weidong is a guest invited by Mr. Guan.

Being treated like this, isn't that slapping the old man's face?

If Li Weidong provoked something, forget it.

But now it is obvious that the other party is deceiving people too much.

If you don't take an explanation, where will his old face go?

However, Mr. Guan is not the kind of person who speaks ruthlessly, and usually does things quietly.

And he has a good relationship with the Han family.

The Han family is honest people, and they have special respect for him, and he has to give some face.

-----------------

After Li Weidong and the Lou family's father and daughter left, Old Man Guan stood up and walked towards the location of the middle courtyard with his hands behind his back.

The Han family, Han's mother and the aunt of the Han family are all teaching Meng Xiaoxing a lesson.

But Meng Xiaoxing is a girl who doesn't remember what to eat, she didn't take the previous things to heart at all, and kept rolling her eyes.

even felt that if it weren't for Han's mother and them not helping, she wouldn't have been beaten.

Maybe I've got Li Weidong's pants in my hands.

I don't even think I'm doing anything wrong.

It can be said that this is a person whose three views are crooked to the extreme.

Three years old is set at eighty, and now Meng Xiaoxing is more than ten years old, one year older than the stick terrier, I hope she will change in the future, then the sun is afraid that it will hit the west.

The aunt of the Han family on the side was very embarrassed to hear it, because Meng Xiaoxing was brought to the Han family by her.

When the two of them were in the Han family, they brought the fare with them.

When waiting for the Han family to come and pick her up, Meng Xiaoxing didn't even listen to persuasion, and drank a bottle of soda on the side of the road, saying that the little fifth brother would help her give money.

With that fearless appearance, people who don't know see it and think she is the princess of which family.

Han Chunming, who was able to pick them up, almost collapsed.

If he hadn't just brought the money he was going to buy meat to greet them, I was afraid that he would have been arrested as eating the overlord's meal.

From that moment on, Aunt Han regretted bringing Meng Xiaoxing over a little, and specially warned her.

I didn't expect the trouble to get bigger and bigger every time.

Just as the aunt of the Han family was about to speak, a light cough suddenly came from outside.

The aunt of the Han family immediately turned her head, and then saw the old man Guan who walked in with his hands behind his back.

She has to come to the city almost once a month, so she naturally knows the old man Guan who lives in the backyard, and when she used to meet, she could still say hello.

But now she's too embarrassed to say hello anymore.

Because she had already learned from Han Chunming that the person who was embarrassed by Meng Xiaoxing was the guest of Old Man Guan.

In this case, she even wanted to find a place to hide.

When Mother Han saw Old Man Guan coming in, she immediately stopped teaching Meng Xiaoxing a lesson, and said to Old Man Guan with a smile, "Old man, why are you free to come over today? If you want to have something, squeak, I'll just let Xiao Wu come over, why don't you come here in person."

Hearing this, Old Man Guan said lukewarmly, "If I don't come here again, I'm afraid no one will dare to come to me in the future!"

As he spoke, he looked at Meng Xiaoxing and said, "Little girl, you were embarrassing my guest just now?"

Meng Xiaoxing's eyes rolled when she heard this, and she said, "Want to know? If you want to know, give me money, a dollar, and answer a question!"

Han Chunming, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly reached out to cover Meng Xiaoxing's mouth.

But it's too late.

Old Man Guan didn't expect that this Meng Xiaoxing would be much more shameless than he imagined.

He shook his head, and he no longer had the idea of continuing to talk to Meng Xiaoxing in his heart.

Say one more word to such a person, even if he loses.

Turning her head, Du Han's mother said, "What kind of relatives is this girl with your family?"

Han's mother said with an embarrassed face, "It's my cousin's granddaughter."

Mr. Guan: "......"

The relationship is really far enough, so it's embarrassing to come to the door to help?

That is, Han's mother is kind-hearted.

Otherwise, people in a relationship like this will generally not be helped again.

Life in the city is not easy, if such a distant relative has to be helped, no matter how rich the family is, it will not be enough to build it.

"Less, you know all about today's events, I don't like to meddle in things, but your relatives have gone too far this time, it doesn't matter if I lose my old face, but this matter has spread, I guess no one will dare to come to our house as a guest in the future."

And I heard that Chunsheng has been talking about his daughter-in-law recently, right?

What do you think would happen if the woman knew that you had such a family of relatives?"

The expression on Han Mu's face suddenly froze.

When a man and a woman get married, they will definitely inquire about each other's situation first.

There is a relative like Meng Xiaoxing at home, which is a proper minus.

Although it's not day and night, I can't stand it every once in a while!

Old Man Guan saw that Han's mother listened, so he didn't say anything more.

Han's mother is a smart person, she knows what to do.

A relative who can't be far away, compared with the reputation of her entire family, which is more important, I believe she can still tell the difference.

Besides, it's not that she wants to cut off this relative, it's just that she has to cut off her relationship with Meng Xiaoxing, and it's not a big problem.

In the Meng family, Meng Xiaoxing is also a strange person, her parents, brother and sister are actually quite good.

"Okay, you guys get busy first, I'll go outside to play chess with the old guy, Chunming, you come with me!"

Han Chunming didn't expect that he would be named, so he turned his head to look at his mother, and after seeing her nodding, he followed Old Man Guan out.

Because of the departure of the old and the young, the atmosphere in the room became dull again.

Mother Han looked at the aunt of the Han family and said, "Sister, did you hear what the old man said just now?"

Aunt Han nodded Mu Ran.

She is very embarrassed now, if it weren't for the fact that she brought Meng Xiaoxing over, this would not have happened.

If it was really because of this incident that she delayed her nephew's marriage, then she would be guilty for the rest of her life.

After thinking about it, she said, "I'll take a ride back in a while, and I won't be here next month."

Hearing this, Mother Han shook her head and said, "Sister, I didn't mean that."

After saying this, Mother Han glanced at Meng Xiaoxing, and then leaned into the ear of the aunt of the Han family and muttered a few words.

After hearing this, Aunt Han frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly, "Is this good?"

Han's mother said helplessly, "You don't want to see Chunsheng and they can't marry a daughter-in-law, right?"

As soon as she heard that it was related to her nephew's marriage, the aunt of the Han family immediately stopped hesitating and said, "Okay, just do as you say."

On the other side, Meng Xiaoxing didn't know what she was going to face at all, and was still cursing Old Man Guan and Li Weidong in a whisper.

*******

"Card

I've already arranged the car for you, it's probably after lunch, you can just go to the princess's grave and wait."

Lou Xiao'e listened to Li Weidong chattering about precautions, and had a strange feeling in her heart, if she had married him, how good it would be.

Now she doesn't even know how to repay Li Weidong, the only thing she can give is a small yellow croaker, but Li Weidong has already refused once.

Give it to him now, presumably he won't take it, right?

Then the only thing she can give may be ......

Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e was a little shy, but after this thought appeared, it never lingered.

Looking at Lao Lou in front of her, Lou Xiao'e gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.

She shouted at Lao Lou, "Dad, you go back first, I have other things."

Lao Lou didn't think much about it after hearing this, nodded and said, "Okay, then you come back quickly after finishing your errands, we still have some things to pack!"

"Got it!"

watched Lao Lou leave, and it was not until his figure completely disappeared from sight that Lou Xiao'e turned to Li Weidong and said, "Weidong, can you accompany me to a place to get something?" I'm a little scared alone."

Li Weidong originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Lou Xiao'e's pleading eyes, he softened his heart and nodded, "Okay, but you have to hurry."

"Uh-huh!" Lou Xiao'e nodded vigorously.

Then the two came to an abandoned courtyard under the guidance of Lou Xiao'e.

According to Lou Xiao'e, this is the old house of their Lou family.

In times of war, after being destroyed, it was abandoned.

Usually no one comes here, but it's a good place to hide things.

When she entered the hall, Lou Xiao'e didn't have time to turn on the lights, but she still plugged in the door, and there were no cotton curtains on the broken windows, but as long as the lights were not turned on in the house, outsiders couldn't see what was going on in the house.

Two hours later, Lou Xiao'e snuggled up to Li Weidong's chest and said, "What should I do, I suddenly don't want to leave."

Li Weidong patted Lou Xiao'e's back and said, "It's okay if you don't leave, I always have a way to keep you."

Lou Xiao'e was a little moved when she heard this, but finally shook her head resolutely.

If Li Weidong hadn't gotten married, she could stay willfully.

But now Li Weidong is a family man, and her staying here is to make trouble for him.

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to embarrass Li Weidong.

Although I am reluctant, I can only leave.

If you have beauty, why care about eternity.

As long as you are alive, there will always be a day when you will see each other again.

********

"You must be careful when you go to Hong Kong City this time, you can write to me when you have time, I know a smuggler named Cuttlefish Sect in Yangcheng, if you don't know how to get to Hong Kong Island, you can find him, he will help you."

Also, you brought so much money over, if you don't know what to invest in, you can invest in the film and television industry.

If you don't know what to shoot, just buy the copyright of those martial arts and shoot it.

In addition, real estate can also be involved, try not to touch the stock market, those are not ordinary people can play."

Looking at the long-winded Li Weidong, Lou Xiao'e felt both sweet and sad in her heart.

In order not to worry Li Weidong, she still smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, I will pay attention to what you said, and you have to take care of yourself in the capital."
