Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Afterwards, Lou Bancheng took Zhong Shan to the basement, which was another room full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Lou Bancheng was quite reluctant to leave. Although Lou Bancheng would definitely take away the most top-quality and easy-to-carry ones, the rest already made Zhong Shan very excited.

After looking around and leaving the basement, Lou Bancheng said, "How are they? They are all good, right? This is the accumulation of several generations of our Lou family. To be honest, I really don't want to part with it, but there is no way. I can't take it out. I don't know who will benefit from it if it stays at home."

Zhong Shan nodded and said, "They are indeed good." Although Zhong Shan did not understand and could not tell the truth from the false, he believed in the judgment of the capitalists. These people have sharp eyes! All the good things are in their hands.

In the end, Zhong Shan bought these things at one-fifth of the price. It can be said that this was very conscientious. After all, Zhong Shan was not ruthless enough.

Seeing that Zhongshan wanted all these, Lou Bancheng said, "I have another courtyard at the foot of the imperial city, with two entrances and more than 700 square meters. The furniture in the courtyard is all Huanghuali furniture from the palace. If you want it, 15 large yellow croakers!" (This hole will be filled in later, there will be no problem. I know I will be scolded here, but I still want to write it. It is impossible to own it in reality, so just imagine it here to satisfy yourself)

Zhong Shan heard this and thought, “It’s the Imperial City, and there’s a yard of furniture. But at this critical moment, do we really want to take it back?” In the end, greed overcame reason and he took it! At worst, he could just leave the furniture there after taking it back. Even if the house was smashed during the storm, he wouldn’t be afraid. It would be appropriate to rebuild it after it was opened up. It’s the Imperial City!”

After Zhongshan paid the deposit, he asked the Lou family to transport the antiques and furniture to the courtyard in Heizhima Hutong. Lou Bancheng ordered the housekeeper to find a few trucks to transport the things and deliver them to Heizhima Hutong.

Zhong Shan opened the door and let them be sent into the yard. After everyone left the yard, Zhong Shan put all the things in the yard into the space, went out of the gate, got into Lou Bancheng's car, and drove straight to the courtyard at the foot of the imperial city.

After arriving at the place, Lou Bancheng opened the gate of the courtyard. After entering the courtyard, Zhongshan looked at the courtyard. The courtyard was well-arranged, like a scene in a painting. The bamboo and flowers complemented each other, which was refreshing. Every corner had its own special features.

I fell in love with Zhongshan as soon as I saw it.

Lou Bancheng also looked at the yard and said in a dejected tone, "Alas, what a pity! I don't know if I can come back in this lifetime!"

Zhong Shan didn't say anything. If he remembered correctly, Lou Bancheng really couldn't come back?

After a while, Lou Bancheng asked Zhong Shan: "It's nice here, isn't it?"

Zhong Shan replied: "It's really good, I want it."

Lou Bancheng did not reply. After turning around reluctantly, he asked the housekeeper to take out the house deed and the land deed and gave them to Zhong Shan. Then he said, "I will go with you to transfer the ownership tomorrow. I have some connections in the Housing Authority and I won't let anyone know."

Zhong Shan nodded and gave all the gold bars except for the one for buying the house to Lou Bancheng. As for the gold bars for the house, he would give them to Lou Bancheng after the transfer tomorrow.

After the transaction was completed, although Lou Bancheng felt empty inside, he had already gotten used to it. These things were not so bad. When he was dealing with the industry before, he was really working on it. That was the foundation created by several generations of hard work!

After agreeing to meet at the Housing Authority tomorrow, they went home.

The next day, after Zhongshan went to work, he asked for a short leave and went to the Housing Authority. When Lou Bancheng and the housekeeper showed up, they took him directly to a separate room. When he came out, the second entrance of the Imperial City was suitable for me and belonged to Zhongshan, and no one knew it.

In the car, Lou Bancheng asked Zhong Shan: "Xiao Zhong, some of my old friends have some stuff, do you still want to take it?"

Zhong Shan was very pleased when he heard this: "Yes, I will accept it. I will accept calligraphy and paintings, antique furniture, but I don't dare to accept the courtyard house anymore."

Lou Bancheng said proudly: "There is no yard anymore. Now that you have this yard, you won't care about anything else!"

In the next few days, Zhongshan was on his way to the homes of various capitalists every night. He collected everything he could. The space has shrunk by half today. Fortunately, there is the Heizhima Hutong treasure, otherwise he would not have been able to collect so much. Now there are countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and furniture in the space.

After those antiques were put into the space, the space doubled in size. It used to be the size of three football fields, covering 3 acres, but now it is the size of six football fields, covering more than 30 acres.

After collecting for a few days and finally collecting all the antiques in Lou Bancheng's circle, Zhong Shan was ready to stop.

Lou Bancheng also left with the Lou family and headed for Hong Kong Island.

Lou Xiao'e's elder and second brothers had been there for a long time, and the Lou family moved there only after they had found a place to stay there.

Before leaving, Lou Xiao'e went to take a look at the courtyard, but she went there at night and didn't see anyone in the courtyard. Lou Xiao'e went to the backyard where she used to live. This time she went to Hong Kong Island, she didn't know if she could come back.

When Lou Xiao'e walked out of the backyard, a sigh was heard from the deaf old lady's house next door. When Lou Xiao'e came back, the deaf old lady saw it. The old lady was an understanding person. From the look on Lou Xiao'e's face, she could tell that she was about to leave with a sense of parting. She knew that she was leaving.

Speaking of Lou Xiao'e, except for the aunt and the eldest grandson He Yuzhu in the yard, Lou Xiao'e is the best person to her. Originally, she always wanted Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu to be together, as they are both kind people. But in the end, He Yuzhu and Qin Jingru are together.

The deaf old lady was quite satisfied with Qin Jingru. The little girl was pretty, had enough food, and most importantly, she came from the countryside and was quite obedient! After all, which parent doesn't like an obedient child...!

Lou Xiao'e left the backyard and Zhong Shan sent her out of the gate. Lou Xiao'e said, "Xiao Zhong, I'm really leaving. I don't know if I can come back in this lifetime!" Her voice was filled with sadness.

Zhong Shan just said: "There will be a chance to come back!"

Time flies and it’s Saturday already. Tomorrow is a day off and it’s time to go to Song Lili’s house.

After getting up on Saturday morning, Zhongshan practiced boxing for the first time in a long time. He thought to himself that practicing these last monkey and bird plays was really difficult. After practicing for a while, Zhongshan cooked some white porridge and ate the salted duck eggs and pickles he bought.

After work, seeing Section Chief Sun arrive early and light the stove, Zhong Shan quickly shouted, "Hey, Section Chief Sun, how can you trouble me with such a rough job? Leave it there and let me do it. It's a blessing for your ancestors to have you light the stove once!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Demin kicked Zhong Shan and said, "You look like a decent person, but you are not a good person. I was the one who burned this stove before."

Zhong Shan did not hide, and said with a smile: "You have been a daughter-in-law for many years and finally become a mother-in-law. Grandma Sun, leave it there and let me take care of it. I won't make your clothes dirty anymore!"

The two of them chatted for a while, and Section Chief Sun said to Zhong Shan: "Xiao Zhong, the chef in your courtyard is really good. He was at my relative's house for a few days ago, and he was well-known. Some old chefs are like this!"

After listening to this, Zhong Shan smiled and said, "Chief Sun, you are addicted to eating, right? Okay, come to my house after get off work one day, I will ask Chef He to cook for you, and we can drink a little. To be honest, I really feel embarrassed to ask someone to cook for me without an excuse!"

Section Chief Sun thought about the taste of He Yuzhu's food and couldn't say no: "Okay, then I'll take advantage of you. It's really hard to refuse Master He's food."
