Siheyuan: Retirement is a moment of pleasure, but it is heartbroken to regret

Li Chuan opened his eyes comfortably.

After the beginning of spring, it obviously began to warm up.

Recently, the clothes are getting thinner and thinner. Lou Xiao'e came to him two days ago, hurriedly helped him put away all the thick winter coats, and carefully put them in the closet.

At the same time, Li Chuan also brought two sets of new clothes.

Looking at the simple white shirt and black trousers, one can tell by touching the material that it is much better than the ones Li Chuan bought himself.

The Lou family has a profound heritage, but because of the times, they have to hide their edge, but seriously, it is definitely not comparable to a small family.

Li Chuan put the new clothes aside, put on his own clothes, and got up.

This set of clothes will be worn when I come to visit. As for today, the less distinctive the better.

After thinking about it, he even put on a peaked cap before going out. If he didn't look up, most of his face would be blocked by the cap.

Satisfied, Li Chuan flicked the brim of his hat, and quietly slipped out of the courtyard.

The place to go today is the famous Panjiayuan in the Four Nine Cities in later generations.

Where is Panjiayuan?
In Li Chuan's previous life, it was the largest antique market in the capital, where countless merchants and tourists flocked, and orders worth hundreds of millions of dollars were everywhere.

But now, it's just a big road and a piece of private houses.

Of course, the surface is a private house, but in fact, from this time on, this area has already started to dump things like antiques.

It has been passed down for 5000 years, and there are too many people who love antiques?
Where there is demand, there must be a market.

The higher-ups are not allowed to make it clear, but they have nothing to do with these transactions in the dark.

Li Chuan didn't come here today because his eyes were smeared, he had stepped on it a long time ago, and even contacted a middleman.

The other party didn't know who he was, and he didn't ask the other party's identity, he only knew that he was a small man.

He couldn't even tell his name, and even Li Chuan doubted whether the face he saw was his real face.

Who let the folk technology of various makeovers emerge in endlessly from generation to generation?

But that doesn't matter either.

Li Chuan pulled the brim of his hat, stepped into an alley, and a small wooden door suddenly opened.

The little man took a quick glance, confirmed that it was the person who was in contact with him, and cautiously brought Li Chuan in.

"My lord, you're here!"

He looked relieved, as if he had been worried for a long time.

Li Chuan was not in a hurry: "So urgent?"

"Isn't it?" The little man spoke in an authentic Beijing accent, and he was flattering both inside and outside.

"You asked me to help you find something, but many people are staring at it. This thing is in my hands now, and people will come to ask every now and then, tell me, can I do this?"

"But there are so many people here, there are always people I can't afford to offend, so the sooner you bring this thing back, the sooner we will let go of our hearts."

The little man looked like he was often in this industry, and he never asked who he was or what he did from the beginning to the end.

After receiving the 300 yuan deposit from Li Chuan, he immediately started running after remembering his request.

The two walked for a while.

Li Chuan found that the inside was bigger than expected. It seems that this group of people transformed all the original alleys into private houses, so walking in the room seemed to be in an alley.

Not to mention that there is no end to be seen at a glance, and there are many forks in the road. Without someone who knows the route to lead it, one will get lost if one is not careful.

The little man smiled politely at Li Chuan: "Master, this is it."

He mysteriously took out the seemingly simple wooden box from the hole under the iron bed in the room.

The location of the burrow is very good, just stuck in the blind spot of sight, and it is not big, so it is difficult to find the existence of such a burrow at a cursory glance.

And even if it is found, it is easy to be regarded as an ordinary mouse hole.

In their line of work, the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit are necessary. Li Chuan guessed that this small hole is just for such things, and there are other ways to make it bigger.

But that wasn't his concern.

He came to this person just to buy what he wanted.

Seeing that he was standing at the door very wisely, and he didn't sneakily look inside, the smile on the little man's face was finally a little sincere.

"This thing took a lot of effort from the brothers, but fortunately it lived up to the trust!"

The little man held the wooden box in his hand, but didn't intend to give it to Li Chuan.

Li Chuan understood, and handed him the 1000 yuan that had been prepared in an envelope.

In such a small room, he has absolute confidence that he can subdue the little man in an instant, and he is not worried at all that he will cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Li Chuan gave it happily, and the little man didn't talk too much, and he could tell how much was inside just by weighing it with two fingers, and he became more and more satisfied with Li Chuan in his heart.

Throwing the wooden box to him with his backhand, the little man clasped his fists and said, "If you want to make fun of anything in the future, you can come to me at any time."

In the eyes of the little man, Li Chuan was a rich and generous money owner, and he was the most tempered buyer he had ever met.

Therefore, his attitude is also very low, obviously he doesn't want to just make a deal with one hammer.

Li Chuan nodded: "It's easy to say."

He has already opened the box and took a look, confirming that it is genuine, he does not plan to keep it for a long time.

Knowing what he meant by agreeing, the little man was overjoyed, and hurried out the door and said, "Then I'll take you out, our side looks simple, but it's easy to lose your way without a guide!"

He didn't hide the twists and turns, and he said it quite straightforwardly.

Li Chuan had a good impression of this little man, and the two chatted and walked out.

Most of the time the little man was talking along the way, but he also responded with a few words from time to time.

"Not to mention anything else, my old man is quite well-known in this industry, if you want something interesting next time, just come to me just like this time!"

When it was delivered to the door, the little man smiled and gave another warning.

Doing their business is not without black and white, but it is still not a long-term solution.

Only by maintaining credibility can we go further.

The reason why Li Chuan was able to find him was because he took a lot of effort and asked someone to help him.

Their line of work is shady, but they value the word faith and righteousness extremely.

Those who betray their faith are always abandoned by people.

"Good to say."

This thing is for the future father-in-law, if he likes it, he will have to associate with the little man in the future.

He probably also wanted to attract customers, and even revealed his nickname directly.

It was still two words, but the little man understood it, and said gratefully: "Then I will wait here for you."

It was already noon when we went back, and Li Chuan lifted his hat on the way, with a little sweat on his forehead.

But the mood is wonderful!
In 1300, I bought a bird-pattern famille rose jade ring that was passed down hundreds of years ago. It’s a bloody profit!
