The years when I was an old man

The place where I met Yang Ximing was still his villa.

Same as last time, when the housekeeper took me into the study.

Yang Ximing was standing beside the huge bookshelves, looking down at them.

His attire was pretty much the same as before.

A black shirt with gold buttons.There is also an azure vest on the outside.

Gold-rimmed glasses, smoking a pipe.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Chu is here!"

Only then did Yang Ximing regain his senses, and put the tome in his hand aside.

Looking at me, he said politely:

"Mr. Chu, sit down!"

On the sofa next to it, there are also many books piled up.I can only sit on the side.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you for what happened in Bashu last time. Although the calligraphy and painting failed to meet Mr. Zheng's wish, at least it was in your hands, and it can be regarded as finding a good owner for it! Oh, yes You must keep that painting well, don't rush to sell it..."

Yang Ximing said politely.

I followed suit and nodded.

Of course I will not sell that calligraphy and painting, and entrust He Xiaoshi to He Songbai for safekeeping.

After all, he still has some antiques left by my father in there.

After a few polite words, Yang Ximing asked me directly:

"Mr. Chu, I heard from Zhong Rui that you are looking for me. If you have anything to do, you can just speak up!"

There is no need to beat around the bush with Yang Ximing, so I said directly:

"Mr. Yang, it's like this. I heard from Zhong Rui that you know the Cumulus Manor very well. I don't know, can you introduce it to me?"

"Understood? I don't know anything about it!"

Yang Ximing smiled and shook his head.

I was disappointed when I heard it, could it be that Zhong Rui's news is not prepared?

"If you want to know where it is, why don't you go and have a look!"

Seeing my disappointed face, Yang Ximing asked again.

I looked up at Yang Ximing, and said with a wry smile:

"I want to go, but I heard that it is an invitation-only place, so I can't get in at all!"

"I can take you in!"

Ok?

He said he didn't understand just now, but in a blink of an eye he said he would take me there.

I really don't understand the thinking of this scholar.

But I'm still a little surprised, Yang Ximing is a scholar, how could he get involved in Cumulus Manor?

Yang Ximing also seemed to see my doubts, so he said directly:

"The Qin family has a few cultural relics in their hands. They want me to go over and help date them, and then check the authenticity. Although the Qin family and I are not familiar with each other, we are in Fengtian and have some mutual friends. In addition, I also want to see Look, the cultural relics in the hands of the Qin family. If you want to see the Cumulus Villa, I would like to take you to see it..."

I was overjoyed, this is my windfall.

But Yang Ximing suddenly thought of something, he looked at me again, and said:

"Many people in the Qin family know you, and you still have conflicts with the Qin family. It seems inappropriate to take you there like this!"

I listened, laughed at once, and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I have a way to make them never recognize me!"

Yang Ximing nodded and said:

"Okay, I have an appointment with them at eight o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow. We leave at six o'clock, wait for my call!"

I know, as long as I enter this Cumulus Manor.

The day when I saw Qin Sihai must not be far away.

It's the day when I made an appointment with Yang Ximing to enter Cumulus Manor.In the afternoon, I deliberately asked Xiaoduo to change my face.

Just finished, Bai Jingxue angrily knocked on the door and came in.

Although she knew that I was easy-going, she couldn't help being startled the moment she saw me.

But then immediately she said:

"Little Sixth Master, the Qin family has become that bastard. At noon today, he smashed up a restaurant in our Bai family. He also sent someone to inform you that you were messing with the Qin family. He just smashed one of us. Let's see who can stand up in the end." live!"

Originally, Xiaoduo was packing up her tools, and she heard what Bai Jingxue said.

There was a trace of anger in her beautiful big eyes immediately.

Looking at me, she said angrily:

"Little Sixth Master, if you have something to do at night, just leave it alone. I'll take care of the Qin family!"

I know Xiaoduo well, and her rebelliousness has been deeply rooted in her bones.

I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I hurriedly said:

"No one is allowed to act rashly, everything will be discussed after I return from Cumulus Manor!"

"Humph!"

Xiaoduo rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.

I didn't pay any attention to this girl anymore, and after talking to Bai Jingxue, I contacted Yang Ximing.

Cumulus Manor is Banyun Mountain in the suburbs of Fengtian.

The scenery here is excellent, the rivers and lakes are flowing, and the green mountains are surrounded.

Sitting in Yang Ximing's Mercedes-Benz, he looked at the sunset outside the window while smoking a cigarette and said:

"I have been to many manors over the years. If I were to make a ranking, this Cumulus Manor will definitely be in the top three!"

"why?"

I asked a question.

"This place is low-key and mysterious. The people who come and go are rich and powerful from the three provinces of the Kanto region. You never know who you will meet here. Maybe a glass of wine or a hand of cards unintentionally can change a person's fate. Can Qin Sihai To be the king of gambling in the Kanto, and to be evergreen. In fact, it has a lot to do with this manor. After all, the contacts here can always help him settle things that others cannot..."

Yang Ximing's words are very similar to what Uncle Zhong said.

But the more this happened, the more curious I became about this manor.
