Zaitao, who is it? He is the seventh son of the Manchu Qing Dynasty Prince Yixun, the sibling brother of the Guangxu Emperor, the seventh uncle of the Xuantong Emperor Puyi, the former Minister of the Military Advisory Office and the Minister of Praetorian Guard Training, and the last owner of Lang Runyuan beside him.

Of course, if it was just these, Cheng Nuo wouldn't have looked at him, what Baylor was the prince, they were all from the old yellow calendar in the past, and now they all pay attention to "Mr. De". But this person in front of him is different from those Eight Banners disciples, who lived in the ancestral cemetery of Daliu Village, Xiaotangshan, Beijing after he was down, and in order to subsidize his family, he sold tatters outside Desheng Gate.

Even so, Zaitao also adhered to his bottom line, whether it was Zhang Zuolin, who was rampant, or Kenji Tufeiyuan, who was raging in all directions, or Song Zheyuan in Nanjing, he asked him to go out of the mountain many times to promise *** Houlu, he refused, until he accepted the invitation of the great man after liberation, and served as an adviser to the Ma Political Bureau of the Artillery Command of our army, and was directly buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery after his death, in stark contrast to his eldest nephew.

After all, being buried in Babaoshan and being buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery are two completely different concepts.

Li Laosan didn't know so much, and his face was unconvinced: "It doesn't matter if you are carrying Tao or carrying goods, it's time for the old yellow calendar to turn the page, if you are really good here, how can you still collect the rags here, and the leaders who are looking for your flag will ask for money and change!"

Zaitao glanced at him and said contemptuously: "The Republic of China takes this money just to carry out the market, as for whether I can get how much, I don't know how much? Hey, it's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, what do you know if you just pull a cart?"

Li Laosan smiled angrily, returned to the tricycle and rang the bell: "Open your eyes and take a good look, I know that everyone who pulls the cart knows that they can eat with their ability, and they have a lot of strength and money, which is called peace of mind."

Zaitao also swung the rattle in his hand: "Then I don't eat by my ability to collect the rags?"

Seeing that the two stubborn bulls were about to fight together, Cheng Nuo hurriedly stepped forward to stop.

"Mr. Zai, so you are the owner of this Langrun Garden, can you take us in for a visit?"

"There's nothing wrong with visiting, but I don't know who you are?" Zaitao glanced at Li Laosan, turned around and said, "Zhang San can enter, and Wang Wu can also enter, but some people who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth can't enter, I'm afraid that he will be blinded."

Li Laosan originally wanted to continue to fight, but when he remembered that there was something to do with Mr., he ignored him, took off the rag from his waist, and took off the rag from his waist, as if it was not him, and whistled to himself, shaking the dust that did not exist on the handlebar.

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "The contemptible person is a teacher at Peking University, He Chengcheng, a thousand gold promises."

Zaitao suddenly realized that he was a person who had seen a big scene, and he naturally had no scruples when he spoke: "It turns out that you are the 'three-wheeled professor' who has been hotly discussed in Sijiu City during this time, ah, I'll just say, no wonder I haven't seen your foreign car, but then again, Yuan Xiangcheng and his coachman have never been so crazy." Is there something you have to do this time, you can't just come for a walk, right?"

The speed at which the nickname spreads can always catch up with the correct name, and Cheng Nuo didn't pay any attention to this ridicule: "This time I came to bother Mr. because he founded a private educational institution, and the rapid expansion led to a lack of space, and he was looking for a suitable address." ….

"I understand this way, it turns out that Professor Cheng also has a crush on this garden, yes, he has a vision." Zaitao was very happy, and simply packed his things into the basket, and when he came to the gate of the courtyard, he was about to open the door: "But I haven't been to this place for a few days, and I see that this lock is all dusted."

It is worthy of being a royal garden, although it looks a little depressed from the outside, but walk in to see that there is a hole in the sky, the area is more than 100 acres, the main body is a square island, the outer ring of the island is surrounded by a circle of rockery, the outer ring of the mountain is a curved stream and a lake, and there is a continuous rockery built on the periphery, and the outside of the mountain is the wall. Such a heavy enclosure makes the garden extremely restrained and deep.

The deeper he went, the more Cheng Nuo felt that Grandma Liu had just entered the Grand View Garden, and felt that everything was very fresh, but if you think about it carefully, the ups and downs of the fate of Prince Gong and his predecessors, the original owner of this garden, are also similar to the Rongning Erfu in "Dream of Red Mansions", Zhou Ruchang and other red scholars

Some lovers of red studies have dubbed this place the "place of origin" of the story.

"How about it, Professor Cheng, are you still satisfied with this garden, don't look at the weeds now, hire a few people, you can clean up this garden for you, it's expensive these days, it's cheap, as long as you can manage a few mouthfuls of food, you can pull a few people at will." Zaitao lay on the railing of the stone bridge, picked up a handful of leaves and sprinkled them into the pool: "It's been a long time since I've been here, and this fish can't come when I see people."

Although the scenery is important, Cheng Nuo is more concerned about the number of rooms: "Mr. Zai, how many rooms are there in the garden at present, and there are many people in my private educational institution."

Zaitao teased the fish in the water and said with a smile: "Now there are 237 houses, 31 verandahs, and a three-hole stone flat bridge, which is the one under our feet, and there is also a square pavilion, just in front, I will show you in a while."

Cheng Nuo nodded, pondered in his heart for a while, and then asked, "Can you live now, more than two hundred, we can't take a look at them one by one, right?"

Zaitao stood up, looked at him and said, "Young, it's really hard to say, there are only a few people in my family, and now I don't live here, I guess it's really not optimistic, I really want to live in it and I have to overhaul it."

Although the garden is good, someone has to take care of it diligently, and the speed of bad people is getting faster and faster day by day, maybe a house somewhere will become a dilapidated house.

The reason why Zaitao told the truth, in addition to being related to his personality, he also wanted to make Lang Runyuan a quick shot, the previous dynasty was also Baylor, and he was used to being pampered, and it was really hard to live in the past few years, and the antiques at home were so little, they had already been sold, or who would want to live in the cemetery and collect the rags.

Until 1928, Lang Runyuan was sold to Fu Jen University, and Zaitao's family moved back to his own Shanlao Hutong house, and later sold the old house again without money in his hand, and moved to a stable yard again.

Walked around most of the yard, Cheng Nuo was not moved, it was fake, in the future, a research institute research was blocked, when he came out to relax, feed the fish, look at the flowers, maybe the inspiration will come, such a good garden will be difficult to find with lanterns in the back. ….

Zaitao is also a master who can observe words and colors, and when he saw Cheng Nuo's eyes flickering a little, he knew that today's thing might be done, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Professor Cheng, let's go, I'll take you forward again."

Originally, Cheng Nuo was a little hesitant, but after seeing a few more decorations, he completely ignited his determination to buy them.

"Mr. Zai, if I'm not mistaken, this pair of unicorns didn't originally exist in the garden, right?"

Zaitao laughed: "Professor Cheng has good eyesight, this pair of unicorns is what I bought from the market, they are old things from the Old Summer Palace in the north, and now they are placed among the weeds, sighing that the years are ruthless."

Later, Cheng Nuo also found a Danqi, as well as the stone carving components of the Western Building, such as the tail stone fish, etc., under the inquiry, it turned out that although the owner lived in poverty, but when he encountered the cultural relics scattered in the Old Summer Palace, he would always find a way to collect them, and later he really let him collect some large pieces, which made people admire.

Have a good relationship with this gentleman, lay a good foundation, and will be able to cooperate more in the protection of cultural relics in the future.

Cheng Nuo is satisfied here, but it is also the turn of the owner of the garden to take the school examination for him, although the purchase price is quite high, but Zaitao always gives Hanhu a pass, and then asks is to wait and see.

"Professor Cheng, I don't know what your private educational institution does, so that I can have some points in my heart."

"Have you heard of the "National" magazine, it is run by our own people, and we usually study Western studies, broaden the wisdom of the people, and rejuvenate the country through industry." Cheng Nuo found a shade of a tree and sat on a stone bench.

"It turns out that it's you, who study Taixi's knowledge, just right, and I also like Western studies a lot." As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Nuo to a room and pushed open the door with a smell of dust: "I read your magazine every day, but every time I read it, I always feel a little regretful, so I don't invite you, the principal, to come and see my collection."

Suddenly pulled into the room from the bright light of the bright sun

Inside, Cheng Nuo only felt that his eyes were dark, if he didn't know something about this person, he would inevitably misunderstand something.

When my eyesight slowly recovers, all I see are some instruments for observing the sky and measuring stars, such as globes, trispheres, planetariums, various astronomical telescopes, etc., everything is available.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the other party would think that he was just a three-minute heat, where could he be handsome, Zaitao deliberately took out some notes on his own astronomical observations.

"Professor Cheng Cheng, no, Dean Cheng, you see that I have been observing all these years, and basically it has not stopped."

With suspicion, Cheng Nuo took the notes and flipped through them, and before he read a few pages, he couldn't help but be impressed by the owner of the garden: "Solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, five-star alignment, Mr. Zai, you even have an observation record of Halley's Comet?"

Zaitao was a little confused, so he wondered: "Dean Cheng, are you talking about the broom star observed in the second year of Xuantong, it turns out that Tessie calls it Harley, and I have a record of it from appearance to disappearance."

Good guy, a good Belle has been trained to become an astronomer, and even a Chinese with the highest astronomical attainments since Cheng Nuo crossed over.

In this way, things are much easier, after learning the true situation of the Academy of Sciences, Zaitao sold it to Cheng Nuo at a price of 20,000 oceans in the form of half selling and half giving away, and even delivered the cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace to the Academy of Sciences. ….

There is only one additional condition, allowing Zaitao to open an astronomical column in the "National" magazine, which is also for both sides.

It seems that 50,000 yuan is a lot, in fact, Cheng Nuo has made a lot of money, like the Shuchun Garden and Spoon Garden next door, although they are big, but they are all broken, there are few complete buildings, and then it was also sold by the Shaanxi warlord Chen Shufan for 60,000 oceans, and it was also half sold and half given to Situ Leiden, and Yenching University was built on a waste garden, which was later merged Yanyuan.

Cheng Nuo didn't think about directly taking down the entire "Yan Garden", but if you think about it carefully, there is no need for it, the most essential local academy of sciences has already been obtained; Second, it is also to leave a living space for Yenching University and Peking University behind it, but he is also a person from Peking University now, and he really can't do such a ruthless thing; Thirdly, this place is so expensive, I really bought it ruthlessly, and finally the start-up capital earned by selling patents can be tossed away, and there is no money to do business in the future.

On the way back, Li Laosan couldn't help but say, "Sir, we have such a good newspaper, and we forcibly insert a foreigner, seeing that he was like that just now, I feel uncomfortable, will he make us bad in private?"

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "Lao Li rest assured, I can work in the position of the principal for a day, and I can't make waves on this day, and I know it in my heart."

Unite the majority, crack down on a very small minority, with the development of the Academy of Sciences, it is inevitable that some other forces will be added, and it is even possible to set up foreign academicians one day in the future, but as long as the direction of interests is the same, then there is something to talk about, and Cheng Nuo can use it.

Li Laosan pedaled at a slower speed, and said, "Also, he has been a bull in the Qing Dynasty for so many years, and he should be a cow and a horse for us, if you want me to say, you should let him collect a few more days of rags, and taste how this hard life came, isn't it just thanks to them."

Cheng Nuo smiled again: "No one is having a hard time now, we have to make more friends and fewer enemies in the future, so that we can walk more smoothly and go further, Lao Li, in addition to literacy, we also have to read more books."

Li Laosan nodded: "How can there be a gentleman in the book who knows a lot, I have learned a lot of kung fu in this moment, and I can ride a bicycle for my husband for the rest of my life." But then again, Lao Zai has been looking at me today, and he thought he was deliberately angry with me at the front, but the back is getting more and more wrong, and I always feel that I have seen it somewhere......

"Where have you seen it?"

"It's like the first time I've seen my house, and my soul has flown away."

"Why do you hear this so strangely, Lao Li, don't be mistaken." Cheng Nuo pondered how this person in history who did not have broken sleeves could be like Li Laosan said, and hesitated: "Maybe you are wrong."

"I was riding on the bike, maybe it wasn't me, it was the car? It's weird."

"Forget it, let's go back, let's go uphill, Lao Li, you stop for a while, I'll get down and push the cart."

"Hey, sir, don't go down, I'll be able to rush up with all my might......

The two chatted all the way and rushed all the way back.

But when they arrived at the door, they found two Japanese standing at the gate waiting for them.

"Cheng Sang, look up for a long time."

96.
