A Guide to Surviving Without Money

The teacup placed on the table was engraved with cyan patterns, and the cloud pattern on it was faintly visible, which seemed to tell that it was of great value. The tea inside was rich. Fujino looked at the cup carefully, and tasted it with his lips. Slightly bitter, then sweet.

It was rare to see a ray of sunshine outside, what happened to Leng Pingsheng?He secretly thought.

The door was slowly pushed open, and one could hear the beating of one's own heart in the quiet surroundings. On the high hall a few steps away, sat a man in his fifties with sharp features, somewhat similar to his face.

After years of baptism, he is still old after all, Leng Pingsheng walked over, knelt down slowly in front of the man, and kowtowed three times: "Father, auspicious new year."

Looking at the mature Leng Pingsheng, the man smiled gratifiedly, and the atmosphere finally eased a lot: "Get up, this is a New Year's red envelope for you."

After finishing speaking, the man handed him a folder, Leng Pingsheng put it away carefully and thanked him.

"Come and sit." The man spoke again.

Leng Pingsheng stood up, patted the creases on his trousers, and sat on the seat next to the man. This and that have been like a day for decades, and he doesn't know what he is nostalgic for.

"How old are you?" the man suddenly asked

"27."

"It's been 27 years, time flies by so fast." The man couldn't help sighing, his eyes filled with mist, as if thinking of some sad and unforgettable past events, or someone.

Leng Pingsheng didn't show any expression on his face, he quietly looked at his toes, maybe it won't be so easy to fool him today.

"Forget it, that girl from the Luo family really likes you. Now you should consider your own marriage." After chatting so much nonsense, I finally got to the point.

Leng Ping replied with a fake smile: "I think it's too early for the marriage, why don't we think about it in a few years."

"How many years? You are 27 now. Although men should focus on their careers, I haven't forced you these years. Is it possible that you have to wait until you are 40 or [-]? It is not easy to have a child at that time. Now, I don't want to go there before I have my grandson." The man slapped the table angrily, his whole face crumpled together.

Leng Pingsheng remained silent, and he could use this excuse in the early years, but now that he is 27, this excuse may not pass.

"Or you have someone you like, so you don't want to marry that girl from the Luo family. That girl is capable and smart since she was a child. She also has a soft spot for you. She is not bad in every aspect, let alone us The two families have been friends for generations and have a marriage contract long ago, so I'd better advise you to let go of any other thoughts you have." The man's eyes were scrutinizing.

Leng Pingsheng's complexion changed: "My son doesn't have anyone he likes, but he really doesn't want to get married and be restrained by others."

"So it's this." The man breathed a sigh of relief: "You can just treat marriage as a contract, it won't affect you, stop you in your footsteps, but it can also be a boost to push you forward."

Leng Pingsheng suddenly grinned: "So back then, my mother was your help, so he couldn't rest in peace until he died. I don't want to be the next you."

The man's face darkened completely. What happened at the beginning was still a scar in his heart. In the end, the man finally sighed: "Forget it, you should think about it yourself, but Chairman Luo has sent someone over to discuss the marriage. Death cannot be avoided no matter what, so you should be prepared earlier."

Leng Pingsheng stood up expressionlessly: "I know, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." There is still a person waiting for him.

The man almost forgot such a thing: "By the way, what happened to your Fujino, you brought him here?"

"You have already checked the situation at his home, and I brought him here when I saw he was pitiful."

The man nodded, feeling that there was something strange going on, went out, walked around several corridors, Leng Pingsheng came to the room where Fujino drank tea in a blink of an eye, the door was open, and Fujino saw Leng Pingsheng.

"What did you and your dad say?" Fujino asked curiously.

"It's nothing, let's go, I'll take you to have a look. You must be very interested in this courtyard house in the Qing Dynasty." Leng Pingsheng stood up and strode out, Fujino also hurriedly followed.

What he said is that Fujino is indeed interested in this building. The ancient courtyard still contains a lot of design knowledge, such as patterns, totems, and carvings. These are all things he is interested in.

They walked through an old corridor, stood in a small pavilion and sat for a while, walking all the way, Fujino was amazed, and couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, they are rich people who live in antiques as houses."

Leng Pingsheng was a little funny: "This house was originally left by my ancestors, and it was seven or eight times larger. At that time, it was said that my ancestor was a prince. Later, he was demoted and settled down here. That's 200 years."

Time has passed to make it look like this now. Now the winter snow has not yet melted, and it has piled up in the courtyard. They walked through the corridor and sat in the courtyard. There are rockery and vegetation inside, most of which he has never seen before.

Fujino walked a few steps, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a small well behind the rockery. The age seemed to be very old. There were four characters engraved on the well, the sky was round and the place was round.

Leng Pingsheng looked at the well: "I never paid attention to it when I was a child, and this is the first time I've seen it."

The inside of the well is very deep and pitch black. I don’t know how many meters there are in it. Fujino approached the well and looked inside. Suddenly, he saw a glowing thing inside, but the distance was too far to be reached by hand. of.

"Mr. Leng, what do you think is that?" Fujino pointed to the glowing thing and said in surprise.

Leng Pingsheng looked in the direction he pointed, and he saw something glowing with golden light, but he couldn't see it clearly. Fujino reached out his hand to take that thing up, but Leng Pingsheng grabbed it directly.

Fujino tilted his head to look at Leng Pingsheng in a daze and said, "Mr. Leng."

Leng Pingsheng let go of his hand at once and said: "If you can't get it, don't fall in it, just wait for me." After saying that, Leng Pingsheng strode away directly, and Fujino sat at the mouth of the well and waited bored.

After a while, Leng Pingsheng found a bamboo hook somewhere.
