I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"You should have thought of that, too."

Uncle Guan took a sip of Erguotou and his emotions gradually calmed down.

"Then the flat pot and the Qing Dynasty jade cup with double dragon handles that Ye Ming took away are also fakes?"

"Everything he took away was real."

Upon hearing this, my heart, which had originally been at ease, rose to my throat again.

"You mean, the things this kid smashed were all the high-quality counterfeits you prepared, and he took away all the authentic ones, not a single one was missing?"

"One piece at a time."

Uncle Guan sighed deeply. How could he not feel sad when the treasure he had collected for many years fell into the hands of others?

"I didn't expect this kid to have such a keen eye. He could actually see through the fakes I've been making so carefully over the years. This is beyond my expectation. I'm afraid even you don't have such ability, right?"

"As a result, we became the ones who made wedding clothes for Ye Ming."

Hou Paolan drank it all in one gulp and then gave a bitter smile.

These two industry leaders, who are over 100 years old in total, fell in front of a junior.

If this matter gets out, I will lose face.

"Fortunately, although the boy did not do things properly, the treasure left by our ancestors in his hand will not be damaged."

As long as Ye Ming is mentioned, Hou Polan's words cannot stop like a river bursting its dam.

"Uncle Guan, I never expected this. I used to think he was quite a character, generous, and had a bottom line, but I totally misjudged him this time.

Regardless of his abilities, with just this vision, it would be hard to find an opponent in the entire capital.

You said he could do anything else, but he had to be this annoying leader and do such plundering things!"

During this period, Hou Polan suffered a lot of humiliation and was full of complaints whenever the Revolutionary Committee was mentioned.

"As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. I thought he was a great man. Even his current girlfriend was introduced by me. But he turned out to be ungrateful. Although he is talented, he has a bad character. He takes advantage of his status to do whatever he wants. Most of the treasures he has plundered will go into his own pocket!"

"Yes, this person is extremely hateful!"

When it comes to sad things, the lazy cat also echoes them.

"What do you know, kid? Stop interrupting."

Grandpa Guan glared at his granddaughter.

Although what Hou Paolan said made sense, he always felt that something was wrong.

In his opinion, one's performance at the dinner table can often reflect one's true character.

How could someone who can beat me in drinking games do such a wicked thing?

"Grandpa, am I wrong? This person is so hateful. It's ok that he robbed our things, but he also said that I was a little wild cat. His whole family is a little wild cat!"

The girl was indignant, but Uncle Guan laughed out loud after hearing it.

"So you hate him because of this sentence. Well, it's a blessing in disguise. We are destined to have this disaster. It's better than having our things smashed or robbed. Let's drink."

After leaving Uncle Guan's yard, Ye Ming was not idle either.

They searched two alleys in succession until the sun was about to set, and then returned to Nanluoguxiang with satisfaction.

Wu Zhengtao knew very well that Ye Ming liked these antiques. In order to curry favor with him, he specially asked someone to send all the collected old items to the courtyard.

This is called reciprocity, and both of them understand it.

Ye Ming was also happy to attribute all the credit for this operation to Wu Zhengtao.

Looking at everyone busy in the courtyard, the neighbors were all as quiet as cicadas in winter.

You can guess the origins of these objects with your heels.

Despite this, everyone tacitly pretended not to see it.

"Commissioner Ye, here are all the things we collected today. Please help me deal with them, and please put in a good word for us in the city.

I will return and report immediately."

"Then we won't force Team Leader Wu to stay for dinner."

After a few greetings, Wu Zhengtao left with the members of the Revolutionary Committee.

Only then did the residents of the courtyard dare to stick their heads out.

Everyone knows that Ye Ming has a hobby of collecting antiques.

In the past, we had to spend money to buy them, but now we can skip these steps.

To put it nicely, he is abusing his power for personal gain. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid some people are calling him a robber behind his back.

In order to store these things, Ye Ming specially rented a side room in the courtyard.

When no one is around, they quietly classify and put the antiques in there, and no one knows where they are going.

Only a few items collected from Uncle Guan’s house can be considered treasures.

This brown-shaped vase with cloisonné enamel floral patterns from the Qianlong period is of exquisite craftsmanship and is rare in the world. Even Mr. Guan, who has a profound cultural background, would probably feel heartbroken for a while.

Ten years later, it may be replaced by a few large courtyard houses with three entrances.

However, in a few decades, the value of the courtyard house may be higher than these antiques.

The assets currently accumulated by Ye Ming are enough to easily influence the development trajectory of a city.

"What are you going to do with these treasures?" Ran Qiuye always maintained unconditional trust in Ye Ming.

"Put it aside for now and return it after the storm has died down. It would be even better if there is a chance to accept it." In front of his family, especially when facing Ran Qiuye, Ye Ming did not have too many reservations.

She didn't understand the value of these antiques, so she was a little confused by Ye Ming's behavior: why did he go to so much trouble, even at the cost of enduring infamy, to protect these things?

Ye Ming did not give too much explanation, leaving everything to time to prove.

At dinner time in the evening, the residents in the alley were also whispering about this matter at home.

Although they didn't dare to say it out loud out of fear, they talked about him a lot in private.

"Mom, why don't you find a chance to talk to Ye Ming and see if I can get a job in the Revolutionary Committee?" Brother Chunming started to have an idea.

Although they were cursed behind their backs, the people from the Revolutionary Committee always acted in a dignified manner when they walked around.

He had also reached the marriageable age, and if he could become a team leader in the Revolutionary Committee, perhaps he could even save the money for the betrothal gift.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chunming's mother glared at her eldest son.

Ever since Ye Ming's identity was revealed, she rarely went to the backyard.

She really couldn't agree with this style of behavior, after all, he was an outsider.

No amount of trust can offset Ye Ming's recent behavior.

"I warn you, don't do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth. Living a peaceful life is more important than anything else!"

As a mother raising several children alone, Chunming's mother only wants to live in peace.

In this day and age, what else can we seek besides stability?

Brother Han is still somewhat enterprising and has not been completely worn down by life.

"What a pity! I was originally planning to ask Ye Ming to help find a job for Xiao Si in the steel mill. And Xiao Wu, didn't you say before that you wanted Wu Zi to learn cooking from Ye Ming?"

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Our words don't carry enough weight, and we can't get a word in with Xiaoye. We should have a clear conscience in everything we do. Can't we live without others? Let's eat."

Chunming's mother has a strong character and is the one who has the final say at home.

Now that things have come to this, no one dares to come up with any other ideas.
