Volume 1 Chapter 16: The Villa
I don't know why the second brother was suddenly so excited, but I nodded anyway.
The second brother frowned, and then sat on the bed again, lit a cigarette and was silent for a long time.
"Alas, I thought my dad was shot, but I didn't expect to be planted in the bucket.... That fight is probably also a fierce fight, and if I can let my father and uncle die in it, it must not be a good stubble.... By the way, did our grandfather say anything to you before he died? ”
I shook my head, I hadn't seen my dad and my dad since I was captured, and the last time I saw them was when they were executed.
For the next week, I was recuperating in the hospital, and the black gold box kept flashing in my mind, and I wanted to know if the second brother and Master Cao had opened the box.
During the period of recuperation, Dawu came to the hospital to see me when he was fine, and I only then knew where our fight was.
That bucket was on the hill behind a village called Sheepfold in Xianyang, Shaanxi.
As soon as I thought about it, this distance from Yang Guifei's tomb is more than ten kilometers!
.....
It has been half a month since I completely healed my injuries, and it was already November, and my second brother went through the discharge procedures for me, and then drove me out of the hospital.
The car that my second brother drove was a BMW, and as for what the model was, I have forgotten it to this day. But it was only a few years at the time, and I don't need to say more about what level I could drive a BMW at that time.
At that time, I saw the BMW driven by my second brother, not to mention how surprised I was, and it was then that I completely understood how awesome my second brother was outside in the five years I was in prison.
You know, when my father was the head of the family, the family didn't drive a BMW.
In the car, the second brother saw that I was recovering, and handed me a very thick cigarette, which looked very tall. I lit it and inhaled a breath of my lungs, almost passing out without taking a breath.
Later I found out that it wasn't just a cigarette, it was called a cigar. The cigar cannot pass through the lungs, but can only be inhaled gently and exhaled and sniffed with the nose.
Master Cao was so fond of cigar smoking that he died of nose cancer ten years later.
In the car, I asked the second brother: "Second brother, did you and Master Cao open the black gold box you brought out at that time?" ”
"No, the box is strange, I found a lot of locksmiths, but they couldn't open the box without breaking the lock, and Master Cao and I are also worried about this."
My second brother drove me to a shabu shop, where I had never eaten such a delicious thing in five years in prison, and I ate several catties of shabu that day, almost dying.
After eating and drinking, the second brother discussed serious things with me.
"Akiko, what are you going to do after you come out here?"
I thought about it for a while and said, "When I was a child, I wanted to go to a university and be a scientific researcher.... But after this incident, I was in prison, and I missed the time to go to college, and now it's not bullshit.... Let's see if we can find a job with a stable income and marry a daughter-in-law. ”
To be honest, this was indeed what I really thought at the time, but I never thought that I would follow in the footsteps of the Zhang family and become a famous native master.
The second brother listened to my words, obviously not very happy, he pouted: "Why are you so useless, your second brother and I are also driving BMW cars now, when my younger brother is pursuing this?" ”
"Dawu should have told you, I have established a lot of halls in the Zhang family, you should join the Touching Golden Hall first, and learn something from Master Cao..... I know you don't want to fight, so you can do something on the ground to identify the artifact, which is much faster than if you go out and find a job to make money. ”
I didn't think much about it at the time and agreed, after all, it is not easy for a person with a criminal record to find a job.
In the evening, the second brother drove me to the current Zhang family's compound, saying that it was a compound, but it was actually a particularly large villa courtyard, and I couldn't help but be shocked when I looked at this brilliant house.
How many fights has the second brother poured over the years to make so much money?
"Qiuzi, you must think that I have been fighting all these years, right? In fact, when I first came to Shaanxi, the Zhang family's money was basically not much when it was transferred from Hunan to Shaanxi, so I had to take those backbones of the Zhang family of the older generation to pour several buckets that no one dared to fall on the road, so as to save fame..... In the past two years, there have been very few inverted buckets, unless there is intelligence that it is a very fat oil bucket, otherwise I will never pour a bucket. Over the years, I have basically been engaged in auctions and jade, and when the market is good, this is much faster than the money from the upside down, and I don't have to pin my head to the waistband of my pants all the time....."
Later, I learned that the second brother tried his best to whitewash the Zhang family, because he didn't want us brothers to follow in the footsteps of my father and my father, and in the end we were shot.
But my second brother didn't completely transform the Zhang family before he died, of course, this is a later story.
After entering the villa, there were not many people inside, only a few middle-aged people who were cleaning, and a few guys who were commanded by Dawu to move things back and forth.
I thought that such a big villa should have a lot of people living in it, but I didn't expect it to be so deserted.
"Second brother, you bought such a big brother's villa, and there are not many people in it...."
The second brother waved his hand disapprovingly: "Someone, it's just not time yet.... At the end of each quarter, the owners of each hall and the owners of some antique shops outside need to go to this villa for three days to make a statement, and they have to live in the villa at that time, and they are not allowed to go out for three days. ”
I felt very surprised that my second brother's mature and sophisticated appearance, as well as many things that my father could not do when he was alive, were all done by my second brother in an orderly manner.
In comparison, I really seem to be the most useless of our peers.
The eldest sister is a few years older than me and my second brother, and she married into the capital very early, and she escaped five years ago without being implicated.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen my eldest sister for a long time.
"Second brother, have you been in contact with your eldest sister over the years, although she has always had a bad relationship with our master, how can she say that she is also a member of the Zhang family, after the accident of our Zhang family..."
mentioned the eldest sister, the second brother's face changed: "Qiuzi, the relationship between the eldest sister and our father is not good, but the relationship with our brothers is good..... Do you really think that the Zhang family can move to Shaanxi completely, and it all depends on me Zhang Xiao alone? Over the years, the eldest sister has mixed well in the capital, and she has given me a lot of ideas, so that I can gain a foothold in the Zhang family, without the support of the eldest sister, I can't ..... so easily."
"Okay, let's not talk about this, Qiuzi, you rest early tonight, and I'll take you to see the world tomorrow!"
