Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

"Be careful, our furniture is new."

As soon as Xu Changping arrived at the courtyard in the afternoon, he saw Yan Bugui smiling and scolding Yan Jiecheng and his two siblings.

"Uncle, is the renovation ready?" Xu Changping asked with a smile when he found that all the tools and garbage at the door of his house had been cleared away.

"Well, Xiao Xu is off work. He just finished his work today and came to have a look."

When Yan Bugui heard the voices, he turned around and saw Xu Changping, and immediately said with a smile.

"Is this convenient?"

Although Xu Changping was a little curious, he was afraid that it would be inconvenient and spoke hesitantly.

"Why not? The decoration was just completed today. Your brother Yan designed it himself. Come and take a look."

While Yan Bugui was speaking, he pretended to casually straighten the corner of his clothes.

Xu Changping then noticed that Yan Bugui was wearing a brand new Lenin suit, and he smiled and said flatteringly:

"Once Uncle Sanye put on this new outfit, he felt refreshed."

"Well, it's all your brother Yan. He said that the house has been renovated today, so he asked us to all wear new clothes for good luck."

Yan Bugui smiled with some reserve. Now that he had finished showing off, he felt very relieved.

"Brother Yan is awesome." Xu Changping gave him a thumbs up.

Arriving at the gate of Yan's house, Xu Changping did not go in. He just stood at the gate and took a look, thinking to himself:

"Oh wow, Yan Jiecheng and He Yuzhu can't be from the same place. How come they both built a second floor in the house?"

"This house is well decorated, and there is a lot more usable space." Xu Changping praised.

"Yes, in this way, several children will have their own rooms."

Yan Bugui stood beside Xu Changping and said with some emotion.

"Uncle, please be busy. I will go back now."

Xu Changping satisfied his curiosity and turned and left without waiting for Yan Bugui to reply.

"What is that kid from the Xu family doing here?"

The third aunt saw Xu Changping leaving and asked

"I just happened to meet him in the yard, and I invited him to come and see our house."

Yan Bugui replied casually.

"This kid must be envious. He spent so much money and ended up with only one room to live in."

The third aunt curled her lips and said with disdain.

"What do you know? If there were fewer people in our family, we could live in a bigger place. It's still more comfortable to live in a big house."

Yan Bugui glanced at the three aunts unhappily and said with emotion.

"Why make such a big deal? It's enough for sleeping." The third aunt didn't dare to argue with Yan Bugui.

She muttered something quietly and went to see the kitchen that her son had specially separated for her.

"system."

Xu Changping returned home and opened the system page. Seeing that there were only more than 30 points left, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

If he only used the more than 300,000 yuan to buy food and drink, it would last for a long time, but if he continued to study, it would be far from enough.

Leaning on the couch under the window, Xu Changping supported his chin with his left hand and turned the mutton-fat jade handle with his right hand, wondering where the treasure might be hidden.

With,

Xu Changping suddenly remembered that someone in his previous life had said that the lake in Jingda was once part of Heshen's home.

Are you saying that the area nearby was once Heshen's home?

Heshen, the most corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, had his house ransacked and his mansion was later occupied by other people. Now it has been divided into several parts.

But Xu Changping still had a hunch that Heshen's assets had not been completely confiscated.

For a person to become the most corrupt official in the world, in addition to being protected by those in higher positions, he himself must also be extremely smart.

Some people in later generations said that Heshen's money was left to Jiaqing by Qianlong, and he himself should have been aware of that.

However, Heshen probably did not intend to beat Jiaqing so harshly. He not only took away the silver that his father had saved for him, but also killed the person who was in charge of the warehouse.

How could such a smart person not leave a way out for himself and honestly hand over all the money? When Emperor Qianlong was in power, he would definitely be afraid that he would transfer the money away, so he would keep a close eye on him.

Xu Changping sat up. If he couldn't transport the money out, where could he hide it?

Dark under the lamp.

Hide directly in the mansion, a place no one would think of. Thinking of this, Xu Changping leaned back again.

Thinking that tomorrow was a day off, Xu Changping decided to go to the library to read about Qing history and get to know Heshen better.

No,

This is not the case.

This one isn't either.

After flipping through the books for more than half an hour and looking at the several shelves of Qing history books, Xu Changping felt a little desperate.

He had not expected that books in libraries in those days were divided into broad categories, unlike the detailed classifications in later generations, making it very convenient to find anything.

The workload was too heavy, so he decided to ask the staff where the books recording the Qianlong era were located.

An old man in plain clothes stopped him and asked, "Young man, I see you have been looking for a long time. What book are you looking for?"

"Uncle, I want to find a book about He Shen, but there are too many books here. I want to ask the staff if they know."

"No need to ask them, I know, just follow me."

The old man pointed in a direction and said with a smile.

Xu Changping followed the old man, and as they walked, the old man suddenly asked:

"Why are you interested in Heshen?"

"By chance, I came across a cookbook that was said to be Heshen's, and I wanted to learn more about this person."

When Xu Changping heard the old man's words, he gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

When he decided to come to the library last night, he had anticipated all the possible situations.

The answer to this question was also in his preparation.

"Oh? What kind of dishes are there? It is said that Heshen is not only the most corrupt official, but he also has a big appetite."

"Oh, there are so many, like pearl soup, panda crab meat and shrimp, golden mushroom and vegetable, Hefu lo mein, etc., too many to count."

Xu Changping casually mentioned a few dish names, and these were not made up by him.

With his junior chef skills, he can buy recipes in the system mall. He saw the names of these dishes in the Heshen cookbook that he bought from the system last night.

"Is the young man a chef?"

After hearing the names of the dishes Xu Changping mentioned, the old man turned around and took a look at his white and clean hands without any calluses, and asked meaningfully.

"No, I'm a doctor and cooking is just my hobby." Xu Changping said, touching his nose, pretending to be embarrassed.

"Doctor? You are not that old!" The old man was really surprised. This kid is a doctor at such a young age?

"I'm eighteen years old and graduated from technical secondary school last year."

Xu Changping replied with a smile.

But I was muttering to myself: It’s just a few shelves of Qing Dynasty history, why haven’t I reached the destination yet?

"Oh, technical secondary school, what a pity." The old man shook his head and said.

"It's okay, life is like that." Xu Changping understood what the old man meant and felt sorry for him for not going to college.

He can't say that this was not my choice and I was already in technical secondary school when I came here.

"Here we are. These are all related to Heshen. Take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man took Xu Changping to a shelf and pointed at a book.

"Thank you so much for your help, old man." Xu Changping hurriedly thanked him.

"It's okay, just read the book, don't worry about me."

The old man waved his hand, turned and left.
