Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 496 Drinking Tea and Collecting Books

"Hehe, it's a little friend"

Li Xuewu shook his wine glass casually, without explaining Zhou Changli's identity.

"I have seen the house"

Master Dou picked up his canvas bag and took out a paper bag. When he opened it, he found a house floor plan the size of a newspaper in quarto.

"I turned it around all morning and spent the whole afternoon working on it at home"

As he spoke, he turned the direction of the paper towards Li Xuewu and pushed it forward.

Li Xuewu reached out his hand to indicate that he could see it, and then pressed the paper with his hand.

Master Dou deserves to be engaged in this kind of traditional architecture, and the whole house is vividly displayed on this white paper.

"Boss, you can make a request now, I will come up with a plan"

It is not necessary for Li Xuewu to see clearly, as long as he speaks clearly.

Li Xuewu looked at the floor plan and said: "There must be a parking lot, there must be a restaurant, and it must be large or small."

"There must be hotels, small cinemas, fitness, wrestling, table tennis, tennis, badminton and other venues."

"There is also a literary and art gallery, a high-end rest area..."

Master Dou listened to Li Xuewu's "Tang Tang Tang", he just buried his head and kept writing, and finally divided the things Li Xuewu wanted into several areas.

"You want a sports complex, a restaurant complex, a management complex, an accommodation complex, and a leisure complex"

Master Dou tilted his head to look at the floor plan, and said, "This house has four courtyards in total, and all of the things you mentioned can be put in."

While speaking, he pointed to several independent courtyards and areas, and gave them to Li Xuewu's request.

Finally, I clicked on the open space in the east gate and said: "This place is suitable for a parking lot. It just happens to be a door for cars and horses, so there is no need to change it."

"Okay, you arranged it well"

Li Xuewu nodded, pointed to the back room and said: "The second floor is not enough, you can add another floor, the same is true for the inverted room, add one floor to make the second floor."

"no problem"

Master Dou moved the beer mug from his hand, marked what he just said with a pencil, and recorded Li Xuewu's new request at the same time.

"The outer surface must be authentic"

Li Xuewu clicked on the drawings and said: "If you don't have the materials, think of a way and dig elsewhere."

"clear"

Master Dou nodded in agreement, and then asked: "The re-laying of electric wires and sewer pipes may destroy the original decoration, and the sewer pipes will be laid in front of the door. This project will not be taken down for a while."

"Slow work and careful work, I will give you a year"

Of course Li Xuewu understood Master Dou's meaning, but he still emphasized: "Be sure to pay attention to safety, I will let people keep an eye on the safety here."

"Don't worry, I can do my job well"

Master Dou took away the blueprint, and seeing that Li Xuewu had given it a long time, he knew that he had other purposes.

But he was working, so of course he wouldn't ask why his boss gave him so much time.

Too much time is not good?
I made a promise to Li Xuewu, and then said: "This is just a big picture. I will show you the design project book in the past two days before making a decision."

"It seems that you have learned the real knowledge"

Li Xuewu smiled and took the meat skewers for Master Dou, and motioned for the boy to pour beer for Master Dou.

The two were talking here, but no one disturbed them, and they all went to the other side of the table to talk and eat.

Seeing that this side finished talking, everyone who was almost busy came to the table.

Tonight, men, women and children, who can drink, took their glasses to drink beer. It was a rare leisure time, and everyone drank freely.

Li Xuewu couldn't drink with everyone all the time, so he found a few people to chat alone for a while, and then went out.

I have an appointment tonight to meet Sister Lou's parents.

I checked my watch when I came out, so I was on time when I arrived at Sister Lou's house.

Businessmen pay special attention to the concept of time, and Li Xuewu respects this cheap old man who has only met once.

There are quite a few villa areas in Forty-Nine City in this era, but most of them are concentrated in the DC area. After all, this area has long been a wealthy area.

In the west city, there are more former sites of officials and royal yamen.

There is an old saying in Sijiucheng: the east is rich and the west is rich, the south is poor and the north is humble.

Dongfu is mainly because there are many old Beijing warehouses in Dongcheng. In the early years, there were only thirteen warehouses in Sijiu City, while Dongcheng accounted for as many as seven.

Another point is that there are many merchants in Dongcheng, and gold shops and banks are basically concentrated in the local area.

Therefore, "Dongfu" is absolutely tenable.

As for Xigui, it means that people in Xicheng are either rich or noble, and there are many palaces and official residences.

In the early years, there were as many as 130 princely residences in Sijiu City, and there were more than 70 in Xicheng.

Interestingly, there were 110 and eight princes raised by 80.00 emperors in the Qing Dynasty, and at least [-]% of the palaces of these princes were located in Xicheng.

That's why there is such a thing as rich in the east and expensive in the west.

Nanpong refers to the fact that most of the Nancheng in Sijiucheng are "poor people", that is, some ordinary people who make a living by working as coolies.

According to the tradition of helping the poor, Nancheng is also the most humane place in Sijiucheng.

All kinds of time-honored brands, ethnic minority gathering places, overpasses and other messy places are located in the Nancheng area.

Beijian refers to the area within the Beicheng District, not the old Beibianer in Sijiu City. Most of the people living there are engaged in low-level occupations.

For example, teahouses, theaters, and brothels are mixed with each other.

Of course, this is the old society's way of dividing people, dividing people into grades and grades by industry.

Whether it's the girls in the Eight Great Alleys, the shopkeepers who walk around the streets, or the entertainers who play tricks on the Tianqiao, they are all inferior to the untouchables according to the old society.

Especially actors, their status is even lower.

How low is it, they are even lower than the girls in Bada Hutong.

Because all the people in Beicheng were "lower class", or the poor people at the bottom of the society at that time, so there was the term "Beijian".

Of course, these are all sayings left over from the old society, and only a little bit of history can be seen in architecture and local living habits.

Later generations will see less, but now see more.

However, Sijiu City has experienced the baptism of many times of war, and several "generals" have been stationed in Sijiu City.

At that time, the generals liked to live in Dongcheng, because there were villas, which were much more modern.

Now you want to say who is poor, poor, rich or noble, it is not so accurate. After all, the big shots who lived in the East City back then may now be sweeping the streets in the South City.

Who can tell.

Speaking of warehouses, Li Xuewu's set, the shipping warehouse where Gu Ning lives is one of the thirteen warehouses.

It was also a villa area built later. Li Xuewu didn't inquire about when it was built and who it was for.

He still doesn't know who his neighbors are.

The Lou family used to live in Dongcheng, and it has always been a wealthy family.

It's just that the big villas and manors were too conspicuous later, so they moved to small industrial real estate to live in.

Li Xuewu didn't know whether the big villa was donated or sold, but the place Lou's family lives in is actually not a house, but an office.

It may be that Lou's father bought the office building when he started his business in the early years. In order to look "shabby", he moved here.

This is what Sister Lou told Li Xuewu. She said that there is still a house on the side of Xinzhong Street, and it is all guarded by the former servants.

How else can we say that this period is more chaotic, even in the 90s, there are still messy stories.

The servants in the early days didn't know whether it was because the master was too kind or because they were used to being servants. Some old men and women would respectfully call them masters until their death.

Although they are all citizens, as far as Li Xuewu knows, Sister Lou's family still has servants working.

Of course, we don't call maids and old ladies anymore, but cooks, drivers, and babysitters.

It's strange to call it Fa'er, and what you do is still the original thing. This Li Xuewu doesn't think it's strange.

Just like now, Li Xuewu parked the car at the door, and a man in his 50s, with neatly combed hair and parted hair, stood at the door and greeted him in a Chinese tunic suit.

Don't get me wrong, it's not Father Lou, it's the housekeeper.

The last time I came was the Chinese New Year, Xu Shi went home for a reunion, but I didn't see him. This time, Li Xuewu learned what is called aristocratic heritage.

Sister Lou said that their family was not originally from the capital, but from the south, and they moved to the capital with their ancestors who were officials.

Fallen leaves take root, generations of wealth.

Wen San'er has seen gold bars and so on, but Li Xuewu has never seen it. Today's bearing is considered to be eye-catching.

"Director Li, Mr. Lou is waiting for you"

"Thanks for your hard work"

Li Xuewu took a look at this man, nodded, did not follow his traditional way, and walked into the house with a net bag.

Xu knew about Li Xuewu's relationship with the master's family, so the housekeeper didn't dare to say anything, and followed Li Xuewu all the way.

When they got to the door, they opened the door for Li Xuewu.

"Thank you"

Li Xuewu thanked him with a smile, and casually entered the hall.

Sister Lou had heard the movement at the door a long time ago, and now she was standing in the hallway waiting for him.

"Why are you here so late?"

"Hehe, a guest suddenly came to the house"

Li Xuewu also didn't say that he was on time now, he found an excuse that was not an excuse and replied to Sister Lou's words.

Because at her parents' house, Sister Lou is relatively restrained and has to worry about her parents' face.

Although my mother promised her own affairs, she could make her own decisions, but her father never made a statement.

For a while, he didn't say anything to make her leave Li Xuewu, but he didn't say anything positive either.

Seeing Li Xuewu coming in, Lou's mother stood up and greeted: "Xuewu is here."

"Hi Auntie, sorry to bother you"

"You're welcome, your Uncle Lou has been waiting for you"

Lou's mother's surname is Tan, and she heard that she is a good cook.

Xu Shi was able to serve as Lou Bancheng's concubine, and the reason why Lou's father stayed with him instead of sending him to Hong Kong City was not only because of his good looks, but also his craftsmanship must be the key reason.

From Li Xuewu's point of view, another reason why Lou's mother was left in the capital was the thoughtful etiquette in dealing with people.

It's not that the Tan family are all cooks, so they should serve people decently, but this pampered environment has made Lou's mother smile and be polite when she treats such a "special" friend as her daughter.

Lou's father was different, due to his status, although he was not as resistant to Li Xuewu as before, he did not stand up and be polite.

He is Sister Lou's father and an elder, so Li Xuewu naturally wants to give Sister Lou face, and he must also have his own status.

"Hi Uncle Lou"

Li Xuewu first positioned himself as the person who came today. He expressed his attitude differently from Director Li who was called by the housekeeper at the door.

That is, today I am here with Sister Lou's "boyfriend" and because of my personal relationship in private.

The housekeeper didn't call Director Li just for barking, but Lou's father had acquiesced a long time ago, in order to test Li Xuewu's attitude.

Don't look at the fact that Lou's family was rich and powerful in the early days, but that was earlier.

September of this year was the last ten-year installment payment for the Lou family to collect the compensation from the rolling mill.

That is to say, by September of this year, the Lou family had no relationship with the rolling mill.

Not only the rolling mill, but Lou's father's stock purchases in other companies have also been settled one by one.

He is just a little baby holding a gold brick and swaggering through the market, but anyone with any ability may be looking at him.

Not to mention a person of Li Xuewu's status, it is quite easy to clean up Lou's father.

Some people say that the more a person cares about something, the more he lacks.

Now that Lou's father cares so much about Li Xuewu's attitude towards him in front of Li Xuewu, it shows that Lou's father has no sense of security, and if he has too much money, he may really bite his hand.

Now he is afraid that others will steal his money, and he is also afraid that his own people will count his money.

Especially Li Xuewu, this identity is here, if Li Xuewu doesn't tell him to go, he can't escape anywhere.

At such a young age, why not be dismantled by Li Xuewu and confiscated all the assets of his life?
After all, my niece's elbow has already been snatched into someone else's quilt. Maybe everyone knows how much money my family has and where it is.

Otherwise, how could Father Lou meet Li Xuewu, and how could he allow his daughter to invite someone to his home.

He is also a donkey dung, with a smooth surface.

Li Xuewu didn't care about the Lou family's money, even if it had been rich for three generations, it was incomparably rich, but now there is nothing to spend it on.

Even if Lou's father sleeps on a gold brick every day, he might not even be able to eat meat, which is useless.

Of course, if it is opened up, Father Lou will transform into a decent person again.

But he also has to live.

Li Xuewu put the net bag in his hand on the tea table, smiled and let Lou's mother arrange to sit on the single sofa near Lou's father.

"Uncle Lou, Sister Lou told me that you have a lot of research on jade. I went to the border some time ago and bought a stone from there. They told me it was Hetian jade. I don't understand it. Please help me grasp it." ah?"

"I don't understand, but you still buy it?"

Father Lou didn't say anything else, he glanced at Li Xuewu, picked up the glasses that were on the armrest of the sofa, and put them on.

Li Xuewu reached out to pick up the net bag in which Sister Yu bought vegetables from the kitchen of the inverted room, took out the stone and handed it to Lou's father.

The butler thoughtfully brought the flashlight, pulled the desk lamp over, and turned it on to the stone in Father Lou's hand.

Lou's father took a flashlight and frowned carefully, and everyone in the family held their breaths, waiting for his judgment.

Sister Lou was very nervous. This was Li Xuewu's first formal contact with his father, and she was afraid that Li Xuewu's face would not be enough, and a stone would ruin his impression.

Even the teacup brought to Li Xuewu trembled a little.

Li Xuewu took the initiative to hold the teacup, and also held Sister Lou's hand, and then patted Sister Lou's hand under Lou's mother's gaze to express comfort.

Sister Lou was also a little embarrassed by Li Xuewu's reminder and her mother's gaze, but now she was less nervous.

Li Xuewu sat back on the sofa, calmly blew on the tea in the cup, and then took a shallow sip.

After all, it's Lou's family, a tiger never fails, this tea is really fragrant, it smells good, and it tastes good too.

Although he joked with Dong Xuexue and Li Huaide that he didn't know how to taste tea and didn't know tea, it was all sloppy.

The purpose is to make the leader happy, and I have dealt with this stuff in my previous life while sitting in the office.

I've drank it well, and I've drank it once, but I'm still young, so I have to pretend I don't understand it, otherwise who will give you tea next time.

Remember, in the workplace, the leader must be a capable person, but the person closest to him must be someone who is less capable than him.

Your ability exceeds his management ability, and he will either use you severely and arrange work for you constantly, calling it the capable person to work harder, or give you a high hat.

Or I will transfer you away, saying that I will help you get on the horse and see you off, but in fact, I am afraid that you will be too prominent and push him over.

Li Xuewu just wants to hide his clumsiness now, even if he knows it, he has to pretend to know it.

When it is time to meet, you must be very good at it, and when you should not be able to, go back and study with the office.

"How much did you pay for it?"

Father Lou turned off the flashlight in his hand, put down the stone in his hand, waved his hand, and signaled the housekeeper behind him to remove the lamp.

"Not expensive, 1 yuan"

Li Xuewu saw Father Lou frowned slightly and looked at him after reading it. He pointed out a finger and replied.

"How many?!"

Lou's father didn't speak, and Lou's sister stood aside, her voice trembling in surprise.

Father Lou looked at his daughter, then at Li Xuewu, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's a good seed material, but it doesn't have the price."

As he spoke, he tapped some stones on the coffee table and said, "In this way, if the government collects it, it will be 80 to [-] yuan per kilogram."

After talking about the price, Lou's father looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Young people, you must be down-to-earth to make money, and even more so to be a person. You must not take shortcuts."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, these words sounded a bit harsh, did he mean that he took a shortcut to buy stones and wanted to get rich overnight, or that he took a shortcut by giving Sister Lou to that.

Seeing that Li Xuewu was deflated, Sister Lou frowned and asked Li Xuewu, "Why didn't I see this expense in the account? Did you really spend 1 yuan to buy such a stone?"

Lou's mother knew that her daughter was in charge of Li Xuewu's money, but she didn't know how much, but now that the two were arguing over the 1 yuan, she also stopped her daughter.

"Okay, all the money is spent, it's considered learning"

While talking, he also advised Li Xuewu: "In the future, don't invest too much in this unfamiliar industry."

"Thank you Uncle Lou for your guidance, and thank you Auntie for your concern"

Li Xuewu first thanked Lou's father and Lou's mother with a smile. Under Lou's father's eyes as if he was looking crazy, he turned his head and nodded to Sister Lou for confirmation: "It is indeed 1 yuan."

With Sister Lou staring wide-eyed, she added: "It's just not together."

"How many?"

Sister Lou thought that Li Xuewu didn't just buy this one. If it cost ten or eight yuan, then the steel city would go to the frontier, and they would be busy for nothing.

Lou's father thought the same when he heard Li Xuewu's words. He had already picked up the teacup and sat on the sofa with a sullen face, looking at Li Xuewu as if he was being taken advantage of.

Maybe this person has been trained in the army and has a mind for handling cases and politics, but his business mind must be used to grow his body and take shortcuts.

Lou's mother looked at Li Xuewu now, not thinking how stupid this "son-in-law" is, but thinking that her daughter might be very tired.

A reckless person is doomed not to care for and take care of others, let alone run a family, but he is also machismo. There is no way to gather money.

"ten tons"

"What?!"

"what?!"

"Pfft~~~!"

Except for the old housekeeper standing far away in the room, there was no strong reaction. Sister Lou and Lou's father and Lou's mother on the side of the sofa stared blankly at Li Xuewu as if they had been immobilized.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, curled his lips, and put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table.

Then he explained very indifferently: "A friend, who has a good relationship, said that he had some jade in his hand and asked me if I wanted it. I asked if it was true. He said yes, and I wanted it."

"Ten tons?"

Sister Lou looked at Li Xuewu in disbelief. She seemed to understand now that the 1 yuan that Li Xuewu said earlier was not a lump sum.

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "He's in a hurry, so it's cheap."

Sister Lou asked incredulously, "1 tons for ten tons?"

"Hehe, I'm dreaming~"

Li Xuewu smiled and pushed Sister Lou, who was staring at her, and said, "One ton is 1 yuan, and ten tons are returned. Robbery?"

"You're almost the same as the one who robbed you"

Father Lou wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and put the teacup on the coffee table with trembling hands.

This kid doesn't talk about Wude, he even panted when he spoke.

Sister Lou had already realized the account by now, and looked at Li Xuewu in disbelief and asked, "Did you really spend 10 yuan to buy ten tons of jade seeds?"

"Hehe, what else?"

Li Xuewu glanced at the jade material on the coffee table and said: "It's rare to pick it up on the road, to tease Uncle Lou?"

"Your business is worth it"

Seeing that her lover was in embarrassment, Lou's mother quickly took over the conversation and said with a smile: "I only know that you are working in the public house, but I didn't expect to have such financial resources."

"not mine"

Li Xuewu's decent smile gave Lou's mother a great impression. She looked good before, but now she looks even better.

He can be a man, do things, and make money. This young man is really good.

"It's my little brother"

Li Xuewu explained: "Everyone is from poor children, and they want to earn a living to support their families. Why don't they set up a waste recycling station and do some small business by the way."

Lou's father looked at Li Xuewu, and now he seriously suspected that this person was showing off.

Still a small business, is there a small business with a transaction volume of 10 yuan?

Why didn't he know, Li Xuewu told him that he wanted to go to the frontier to see if the jade business was so easy to do.

But he was just thinking about it, or talking about it.

It's not a fledgling young man, nor is it the first day of business, so he can't hear what he said.

This is a response to my previous temptation, and it is also a reassurance for myself.

The intention is to explain that he is not greedy for his own money, saying that he can make a lot of money casually.

He admitted that, even though Li Xuewu bought a ton of jade for 1 yuan, it doesn't mean that others can buy it too.

That's not how business is done. Without his identity, who can go to the frontier casually, and who can buy ten tons of jade with such a low price.

There was a saying in the early days that there are people in the court who are good officials.

These words are useful to the public, and even more useful to businessmen.

Even if they don't do anything, raising their hands and writing, it's better than their exhaustion.

But looking at it now, this young man clearly defined his own position, and did not admit that these belonged to him, they were all sent by him.

Of course, Lou's father checked the recycle bin, and also checked the details of these people. They are a group of poor children.

To put it bluntly, it's almost like the kind who go to the street to beg for food.

In other words, Li Xuewu has some status, which he has acquired over the years, and his father didn't give him any confidence.

If time goes back 20 years, Lou's father wouldn't even look at him.

But today is different from the past. The days of these people are like Wang Erxiao's New Year, which is not as good as every year.

The opportunity after equality gave these people the possibility to stand up and call the shots. A doctor's child can accept his capitalist's daughter as a child.

How do you say that?

The world is so crazy that mice can be bridesmaids for cats.

What's even crazier is that before the young man entered the room, he threw out 10 yuan to show him before he started talking.

A doctor's child, a few shabby households, horse manure pickers, tell you, half a year, self-made, would you believe it?
I am afraid that only those later generations who hire people to write autobiographies, give motivational speeches, and say that hard work will have tomorrow's support will believe it.

Believe it or not, Father Lou doesn't believe it anyway.

Now he has to revisit this particular son-in-law.

"Old Zhong, is the study ready?"

"It's ready, sir"

The butler, Old Zhong, took half a step forward and slightly bowed in response, then backed away after answering.

Lou's father raised his hand, gestured to the upstairs study, and said to Li Xuewu, "I heard that you like literature. I have a few books here. Let's see if you like them."

"Oh? There is such a surprise today?"

Li Xuewu followed Father Lou with a smile and stood up, while smiling, he glanced at the housekeeper.

What the hell, I have to change my ideals. I said earlier that I have to work hard until I can use a private female secretary.

Look at it now, that's too low, too vulgar.

vulgar!
It's too vulgar!

How can a female secretary have such a style and background as an old housekeeper.

Li Xuewu decided that he would fight until he could use ten of them, and that he would have to arrange two of them to follow him even when he went to the bathroom.

When you want to squat in the pit, you must hear one of them greet yourself with a London accent: May i help you sir?
The other wanted someone like the Lou family, who said in an authentic Sijiucheng old accent: "The urinal is ready, sir, and we are waiting for your seat at any time."

"Send up the teacups of your father and Xuewu"

Lou's mother stood by the sofa, signaled to watch Li Xuewu's daughter serving tea eagerly, and at the same time signaled to the housekeeper, Lao Zhong, not to go upstairs to help.

The butler knew that the host had something to say to the guests, and now seeing Lou's mother's order, he bowed slightly and went about his own business.

Lou Xiaoe took two cups of tea with a smile, followed her father and Li Xuewu upstairs, and sent them to the study.

The reason why I see Li Xuewu in the living room today is entirely because of my father's intention.

She also knows that this is a pass.

Li Xuewu passed the test, so he naturally wanted to go upstairs to discuss further topics. If he didn't pass the test, then today would really be a casual meeting and conversation.

Of course, not passing the test of her parents will not hinder her relationship with Li Xuewu much, because the two have no relationship now.

If you want to talk about boyfriend and girlfriend, neither of them can admit it.

Let's talk about a closer relationship between men and women, it is even more intolerable in today's society.

So, the two are just friends now.

But now that Li Xuewu has passed the test, he has even put his father together, which has to make Lou Xiaoe feel happy.

Looking at the girl whose elbow could no longer be turned back, Lou's mother smiled helplessly, and sat back on the sofa after seeing a few people on the stairs.

Marrying into Lou's family, she has been intriguing for half her life, and finally the eldest and second sons took the initiative to follow their son to Hong Kong City to seek refuge, thinking about living with him in the mainland.

Unexpectedly, the situation has changed again now.

She can be kept by her husband not only because of her cooking skills, but also because of her ability to deal with people, but because she is the most worthy of abandonment and sacrifice.

It seems cruel to say that, but it is what it is.

She is a child and has no son yet. She has given birth to two daughters. One can imagine her status in this family.

Her husband didn't let her go, saying on the surface that she didn't have a son to rely on, and he was afraid that she would be bullied when she arrived in Hong Kong.

In fact, they are keeping their mothers in the mainland. If the situation changes, they may be used as collateral, and the husband will leave.

After many years without seeing the situation change, and seeing the daughters growing up one by one, they agreed to marry.

This marriage also has sacrifices and purposes. The eldest daughter, Lou Xiaoying, married a transport driver, and the second daughter, Lou Xiao'e, married the child of the former servant in the family.

The purpose is to make their "civilian" blood more pure.

But looking at it now, not to mention half of the hope, it may all be shattered.

Her two daughters were all sacrificed in vain, and her husband's goal was not achieved.

Why do you say that?

Because the driver married by the eldest daughter is arrogant and poor, and doesn't interact with the family here at all.

Relying on his status as a worker, he looked down on his family, but he still envied the wealth of the Lou family, otherwise why would he "deny his relatives".

The same is true of the second daughter, thinking of the love of the little girl, she gave it to the servant who has been with her for half her life, then Xu Damao also grew up under her nose.

I never expected that there would be so many troubles caused by knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart.

Sometimes she also thinks that in this life, she has been involved in it, and even her two children have to be involved in it.

But stupid people have stupid blessings. My second daughter seems to be sincere, but it turns out that things come and go.

The husband calculated, calculated, the previous arrangements were in vain, but the second daughter got a blessing in disguise after divorce, which brought a turning point to the family.

Now seeing Li Xuewu talking with her husband on an equal footing, with a clear demeanor and identity, she is content.

What is the status and no status, talk about fighting, saying that it is difficult to be a small person, how can you still be sad to marry a physical man, and wash and cook for the baby for the rest of your life?

It's all done small, the heart is not satisfied, and it's just hypocritical.

Sister Lou didn't think as much as her mother, but she really wanted Li Xuewu to be able to talk to her father.

Even if she doesn't want Li Xuewu to give her any promises and titles for the rest of her life, as long as she is good to herself and her family, she will be content.

Putting down the teacups on both sides of the desk, Sister Lou wanted to sit on the sofa next to her.

But her father didn't want her to listen to what they were going to talk about, so he waved his hand to signal her to go out.

In this family, Sister Lou can be coquettish and unreasonable, but she can't mess around in formal occasions.

Seeing his father's signal, he could only look at Li Xuewu helplessly, and then walked out the door.

Li Xuewu looked at the direction of the door and smiled, then took a sip from his teacup.

Father Lou, who was sitting behind the desk, took another careful look at Li Xuewu, then took a teacup and asked, "What kind of books do you like to read?"

"Hehe, you won't really invite me to read the book, will you?"

Li Xuewu chuckled, put the teacup in his hand back to its original place, and then sat down on the chair casually.

Lou's father pursed his lips, watched Li Xuewu stalking his study from above the teacup, raised his eyebrows, and took a sip of tea with his head down.

He knew that young people didn't like to beat around the bush, but the young man in front of him was different. Didn't he have an official career, so he didn't have the patience?
Li Xuewu looked at the bookcases on the wall. Unlike the traditional Chinese-style bookcases in Baibao Pavilion, Father Lou's study had Western-style bookcases.

And it's very Western style, with the classical atmosphere of England and France, it's still dark, obviously it's specially designed.

"This used to be my father's office"

Lou's father put down the teacup in his hand and explained: "At that time, there was Lafayette in Forty-Nine City. The study of compradors was like this at that time. My father said it was the trend of the year."

“Really classic”

Li Xuewu nodded and said affirmatively: "The centuries-old capitalist empire is not given for nothing, and people's intentions can be seen from the subtleties."

Lou's father raised his eyebrows and didn't answer Li Xuewu's words. He didn't know Li Xuewu's views on this kind of matter, and he was afraid that if he said something wrong, the young man opposite him would get the wrong idea.

"I took over my father's class at the age of 30, and I can be regarded as an outstanding existence among my peers."

Lou's father looked at Li Xuewu with certainty and said, "But I want to say, you are the young man I have ever met, the most surprising to me, and also the most amazing to me."

"Thank you"

Li Xuewu nodded slightly to express his gratitude, his face was full of humility and kindness, but what Lou's father saw was self-confidence and calmness.

"To be honest, Xiao'e is not good enough for you"

Father Lou shook his head slightly, and sighed: "I'm not talking about age, but heart."

Fearing that Li Xuewu might misunderstand, Lou's father nodded his chest while speaking.

"Hehe, maybe this is fate."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I live a very selfish life. I want everything I like, but I don't know how to weigh myself. I have caused a lot of trouble for my father since I was a child."

Lou's father certainly understood what Li Xuewu meant, but it wasn't because he got into trouble and was beaten when he was a child.

From the very beginning, he felt that this young man was a bit capable, and now he was impressed by the young man downstairs.

I thought he had set his sights on Li Xuewu high enough, but looking at it now, it was far from enough.

It's not that he is arrogant and looks down on young people, nor is it that he can't look at each other and communicate with each other, but that the other party has a deep cultural background and art of thinking.

If it wasn't for Li Xuewu who was sitting right across from him, and if it wasn't for Li Xuewu's home in a courtyard, he would never have believed that this was a 20-year-old young man.

What were you doing when you were 20?

Wuling is young and fighting for head-tie!
Father Lou shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm not against your relationship, I'm just against meaningless relationships, and, irresponsible relationships."

Lou's father spoke very clearly, and he tapped the table with his finger to emphasize: "She is my daughter, and I will not allow her to abuse herself, let alone allow others to despise her."

"You think I'm...hahaha!"

Li Xuewu smiled and didn't finish his sentence, this laughter was the best response to Lou's father.

Lou's father also laughed lightly, following Li Xuewu's laughter he kept laughing "hehe".

The mother and daughter sitting downstairs also smiled when they heard the laughter from upstairs, as long as they didn't fight.

If there is a real fight, the one who suffers must be...

"Hahaha~"

Li Xuewu laughed for a while, pointed to the environment of the study room and said, "I used to want to have a study room like this, and then fill the study room with books, but my dad said I was a blind man breaking corn, ha ha."

"Hehe, young and frivolous"

Lou's father understood what Li Xuewu meant, he was not talking about books, but about people, men, and women.

"Who doesn't have an age to be hated?"

While talking, he picked up the teapot on the table and refilled Li Xuewu's tea, and continued to explain: "When I was young, I competed with others for women, and I was beaten to the point of bleeding, and I used knives and guns."

Seeing Lou's father shaking his head slightly, Li Xuewu could imagine how flamboyant these rich kids are.

And now that Lou's father can tell himself these things, it means that he has recognized his own existence, and also recognized his identity to intervene in Lou's family.

"I do not know"

Li Xuewu thanked Father Lou for pouring tea, reached out to take the teapot, and refilled him.

Naturally, the first time I had to wait for Lou's father to pour tea for me, because I was the guest and he was the host.

Because of his age, and the purpose of today's conversation, waiting for him to pour himself tea would represent approval.

Now Li Xuewu took over the teapot and poured tea for the other party, which represented courtesy, respected the other party, recognized the other party, and established his identity as a junior.

"Now I really have a study room, but I have to taste and read every book carefully and put it in the study room when I think it is worth having, just like you"

Li Xuewu put down the teapot, pointed to the bookshelf behind Father Lou and said, "Every book can express your knowledge and self-cultivation, rather than relying on these books as a facade."

"Drink tea"

Lou's father smiled and nodded, expressing that he understood Li Xuewu's meaning, tapped his finger on the table lightly, motioning Li Xuewu to drink tea.

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile, respected Father Lou, and waited for the other party to pick up the teacup before picking it up himself.

The two began to confront each other from the moment they entered the door. They were not fighting in anger, nor did they have to compare themselves.

Li Xuewu hasn't suppressed his father-in-law's bad taste yet.

What the two are fighting for is who will take the initiative in this communication and conversation.

Lou's father knew very well that he was naturally weaker than Li Xuewu in terms of status. If Li Xuewu really came here for money...

Taking another ten thousand steps back, Li Xuewu really came here for people and money, so how should he respond.
