Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

The next morning, Lao Yang washed up and exercised in the living room. The four female bodyguards also got up and washed up, and sat on the sofa to watch Lao Yang boxing. After Lao Yang finished boxing, he looked at his watch and it was 4 o'clock. So he went to the guest room to wake up Deng Junlai to wash up. Deng Junlai reluctantly washed up, and Lao Yang led everyone to have breakfast.

After breakfast, they returned to the room. Lao Yang told the female bodyguard to pack her personal belongings and leave soon. Lao Yang called Curry and asked him to take the car and everyone to pick him up at the hotel at 8 o'clock. Deng Junlai also called home to inform Lao Yang to visit at 9 o'clock. After the call, Deng Junlai was driven to the guest room to rest.

Lao Yang returned to his room to prepare gifts for the visit. He found the steel needles he had bought before in the space. He thought they would not be used in the future, so he transformed them all into carving knives, ranging from 0.1 mm to 10 cm. These carving knives have no handles, mainly because they are not used in the space. These carving knives can be used to carve jade, glass and wood to make up for the lack of space.

Controlling 5 kilograms of gold, he made a four-clawed flying dragon based on the shape of the dragon in the previous life network, with flowing beard, uneven golden scales, and a cold expression. Lao Yang found a suitable piece of jade and quickly made a cloud platform with a carving knife. Then he controlled the flying dragon to step on the cloud platform, and the four claws grabbed into the cloud platform, seemingly looming and holding it tightly, making the two inseparable. The space production must be a fine product.

Old Yang was very satisfied with the golden dragon and was reluctant to give it away, so he kept it for himself to admire. But then he thought that this thing was just a thought for him, and he could have as many as he wanted, so his interest immediately waned.

Lao Yang found the largest piece of jade in the space. It was not a precious miscellaneous jade, but it was very distinctive and had hundreds of colors. It was about 20x25x30CM. Lao Yang recalled the 108 Liangshan heroes in the future and constructed a picture of drinking in the Juyi Hall. He quickly used a carving knife to outline 108 characters, 55 wine tables, carved beams and painted buildings, eaves and walls, and large flags outside the courtyard according to the colors. The wine jars rolled on the ground. The scattered dishes and the characters staggering were vivid. Everyone was presented in 3D, which was a vivid life. Lao Yang was very satisfied with this work. It was a peerless masterpiece. If you use a magnifying glass, you can see the hair of the characters clearly. It belongs to the world of micro-carving. There is no such work in the world today. Lao Yang prepared two items, asked the female bodyguard to carry two gifts, and called Deng Jun to customize the packaging.

The group went to the luxury store downstairs and ordered two glass gift boxes of equal size to put the two gifts in. After adjusting the position and fixing them, they looked magnificent. After seeing them, several guests kept watching and were reluctant to leave, and some even came forward to ask about the price. After Lao Yang rejected everyone, he asked the bodyguard to carry the gifts downstairs and take a car to the Fang family's old house.

Lao Yang and Deng Junlai were in a Mercedes, and the other bodyguards were in the bodyguard car. There were five cars in the team. Such a high-profile motorcade was rare in Hong Kong. Along the way, it attracted many people to watch and admire. The motorcade soon arrived in Yuen Long. Deng Junlai directed the bodyguards to drive the car to the gate of a Cantonese-style manor in Pingshan. This manor has a history. The courtyard wall is made of piled rocks. There are battlements and shooting holes on the wall. The gatehouse is large, with carved eaves and walls. The door has four doors, painted red, and has five rows of nails. It is very impressive.

The car stopped outside the door, and a group of people got out and walked to the door. Deng Junlai went forward and knocked on the door. Soon a young man opened the door and said, "Master Deng, you are here, please come in!"

As they walked into the main gate, Deng Jun said, "Go and tell them that the son-in-law is here. Let's go to the main hall to have tea."

The young man left quickly, and Deng Junlai led everyone to the living room. Lao Yang told the bodyguard to put the gift on the coffee table, then left and was received by a special person. Lao Yang sat in the first seat on the right, and Deng Junlai sat in the first seat on the left. Deng Junlai pulled the rope next to him, and after a while someone brought tea.

Deng Junlai introduced: "This house covers an area of ​​99 acres and was built during the first year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty. It has been well maintained, with three entrances in total, a garden in the back, and a back door leading directly to Pingshan. A bunker was built during the war a few years ago, but it was abandoned after the victory. There are secret guards on the four corner towers, which are very safe. The backyard is the residence of the clan leader, and the maids also live in the backyard. The middle yard is the residence of the heirs of each family, and the front yard is where some male servants and bodyguards live."

Deng Junlai swallowed a mouthful of tea and continued, "I think my eldest brother has already arrived. He must be in the study in the backyard discussing with Uncle Fang how to deal with your marriage. Sister Haitang and Sister Meigui must have also arrived. They are both in Sister Haitang's boudoir in the middle courtyard."

Old Yang looked around the living room. There were two rows of official hat chairs and coffee tables. There were some ornaments on the two walls, which looked quite old. There was a painting hanging on the top. The inscription on the painting should be the ancestral teachings. The characters were Fang De teaching Fang Shiyu martial arts. In the middle were two armchairs and an eight-immortal table. There were two vases on the table with some branches in them.

Lao Yang and Deng Junlai were drinking tea and chatting. About half an hour later, footsteps were heard in the back hall. Then two people came out of the side door. The first was a middle-aged man, followed by a sturdy man who looked to be around 30 years old. Lao Yang and Deng Junlai stood up immediately. Deng Junlai stepped forward and introduced: "Uncle Fang, big brother, this is my brother-in-law Li Dazhuang."

"Brother-in-law, this is Sister Haitang's father Fang Chengjing." Deng Junlai crossed his hands and gestured, then said, "This is my eldest brother Deng Yuanyi, the leader of Heshenghe."

Fang Chengjing and Deng Yuanyi looked at Deng Junlai in surprise: He changed sides in just one day? It seems that Yang Shangjin still has some tricks. Although Deng Junlai looks unreliable, he is actually a man with insight. He will not be arbitrarily controlled, and will not easily vote for others.

Old Yang immediately clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Fang, Brother Deng, hello. I'm Li Dazhuang. It's my first visit, so I brought two small gifts as a token of my respect. I hope you will accept them." Then he presented the golden dragon.

Fang Chengjing also bowed and said casually, "I'm sorry for the expense." Then he saw the golden dragon handed over, and quickly took it and put it on the Eight Immortals Table, and looked at it carefully. Old Yang turned around and picked up the Liangshan Juyi Hall and handed it over. Deng Yuanyi saw the exquisite carvings, took it carefully, and quickly put it on the Eight Immortals Table and looked at it carefully. He said to himself, "Which master's work is this? It's so exquisite."

Fang Chengjing looked up and said in amazement: "It is so exquisite and ingenious! Especially the 108 heroes, each of them is lifelike, showing all kinds of life, it is a rare treasure!"

"Uncle Fang, I think this golden dragon is lifelike and imposing, which is very consistent with Uncle Fang's aura. Uncle Fang, please accept it. I will take this Liangshan Gathering of Heroes back to show my father."

Fang Chengjing reacted and said, "Little Mantou (Deng Yuanyi), when did you become so cunning! You take the golden dragon away, and leave this jade carving with me. I will appreciate it carefully. After appreciating it, I will lend it to you to enjoy for a while."

The two men started to argue with each other, forgetting about Lao Yang and Deng Junlai. Deng Junlai quickly stepped forward to stop them and said, "Uncle Fang, Big Brother, let's settle the matter of my brother-in-law first before we talk about who owns the gift."

The two men immediately realized that it was indeed impolite to divide the gifts in front of the guests, and hurriedly said, "Sit down, dear son-in-law. I didn't expect that he is not only handsome, but also has a very rich family."

Deng Yuanyi stepped forward and patted Lao Yang on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to be such a generous person. I agree to your marriage. When I go back, I will definitely speak well of it to my father and make your marriage come true."

Wow, Lao Yang hasn't said anything yet, but the marriage has been settled. No matter what era, wealth is the supreme weapon to pave the way.
