Start with a Siheyuan

Chapter 196
He rode his tricycle to a deserted alley, looked around, saw no one, put the bike into the system space, and walked to Yanzhi Hutong on foot.

On the way, he bought a bottle of Fenjiu for [-] yuan, a bag of peanuts, and a roast duck, and came to Yanzhi Hutong.

The courtyard door of Poor Hou's house was wide open, so he walked in directly, and saw Poor Hou sitting in the house, drinking tea with a purple sand teapot.

Standing at the door, Li Lang picked up the wine, peanuts, and roast duck in his hand: "You opened my eyes, and I invite you to drink."

Poor Hou smiled: "Boy, stand up. Come in and sit down."

Li Lang walked into the room, put things on the table, and looked around uncontrollably.

He found that what Ratty Hou said opened his eyes, not just words.This house is like a small cultural relics exhibition hall.

There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, Li Lang looked at them carefully.

When he walked in front of a landscape painting, he couldn't move his eyes away.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he let out a long breath and said, "Is this the real work of Xu Beihong?"

Broken Hou laughed twice with a "hehe": "Boy, you have good eyesight. My father was fortunate to know Mr. Xu more than 30 years ago. This painting "Spring Mountains After the Rain" was obtained from Mr. Xu by my family friend."

Li Lang knew that Xu Beihong's paintings would be worth sky-high prices in a few decades.

Although this painting "Spring Mountain after the Rain" is somewhat different from Master Xu's peak work, it looks like an impromptu work, but it is definitely worth a lot.

Such a valuable painting was hung in the hall casually.Li Lang really sweated for Broken Hou's heart.

Not only Broken Hou, Li Lang's master, Mr. Guan, also placed some precious cultural relics in conspicuous places in the house.On the one hand, it is related to the social atmosphere of this era.On the other hand, people don't know that antiques will be so valuable after decades.

Fortunately, in this era, the door is not closed at night, and the road is not picked up.If you put it in later generations, let alone this painting, those thieves can even steal the jar of pickles for you.

Li Lang, who had reached the master level in cultural relic identification, looked at some old objects in the hall. Not only were there no fakes, but they were all treasures.

Laid-out Hou opened his eyes, unexpectedly, the two skills that had been stuck for more than half a month were upgraded at the same time.

surprise. . .

Poor Hou looked at Li Lang with a little complacency: "How is it? Is it okay?"

Li Lang: "It's too accomplished. It's too much experience."

Poor Hou: "You can see, don't worry about it."

Li Lang: "Understood."

There are so many rare cultural relics in the room, and it opened Li Lang's eyes, which proves that Li Lang is a trustworthy person in the heart of the ragged Hou.

After Li Lang sat down, he suddenly remembered the incident of the theft of Cixi's treasures written in the Qing Dynasty diary he had received.

He knew that Poor Hou was a descendant of the princes of the Qing Dynasty, so he might have heard about it.In order to find a common topic, Li Lang talked about it with Poor Hou.

As a result, when it is broken, the spirit will come back immediately.

"My father got a notebook by accident, and it belonged to one of the gang who stole Cixi's property."

"The book wrote about the group of people who stole something and ran away. There was also a picture of a pair of jade pendants, and it was indicated that the location of the treasure was related to the jade pendants."

"My father once took people into the mountains to look for them, but they didn't find anything."

Li Lang: "Broken Hou, is that notebook still there?"

Broken Hou: "Yes. But over the years, I don't know how many people have tried to think about these treasures, but no one has succeeded. Boy, don't think about this."

"I'm curious about these things, can you lend me the book?"

Broken Hou shook his head, searched for a long time among a pile of ancient books, took out a dilapidated little book, and threw it to Li Lang casually: "Take it, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you."

Li Lang flipped through the small book, and there were quite a lot of words, so he put it in his pocket and read it again when he went back.

He saw that Broken Hou was looking at a sticker box with a magnifying glass.

He just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and said, "Chrysanthemum's love, Empress Tao rarely hears about it..."

Tattered Hou suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Lang in surprise.

Li Lang was not influenced by him, and continued: "Who is the same as the love of the lotus. The love of the peony is suitable for everyone. My love alone comes out of the mud without being stained. Changchun layman."

Broken Hou couldn't believe it: "Have you seen this sticker box?"

Li Lang smiled without saying a word, and added: "Yellow, with golden nanmu bottom. The words inside are written by Lord Qianlong himself. That's right?"

Li Lang's performance really surprised Poor Hou: This kid not only has eyesight, but also has such a wide range of knowledge.talent.

He couldn't help giving Li Lang a thumbs up.

Li Lang knew that Master, the old man, liked this sticker box very much, so he said, "Master Hou, I have something to discuss with you. I like this sticker box very much. Can you lend me a few days to study it?"

"Yo, are you really tempted?" Poor Hou looked at Li Lang with a half-smile.

"I just want to borrow it and play for a few days. How?"

"It's not impossible." Poor Hou said with a smile, "But, last time I was slapped by you, I..."

At this time, a woman who looked about 30 years old walked in.

Li Lang recognized at a glance that she was Hou Su'e, the daughter of Poor Hou.

……

Hou Su'e lowered her head and said, "Dad, my wound is infected and I have a fever at home. If I can get through it, I don't want to bother you. Look, can you help me?"

She was depressed.

But broken Hou sat on the chair and closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear his daughter.

"Dad, what else do you want me to do? I've begged you so lowly, what else do you want me to do? I'm still your biological daughter."

Hou Su'e began to cry while talking.

"Okay, anyway, I can't live anymore, and I won't let you live comfortably."

Excited, she picked up a porcelain bottle next to her and was about to throw it on the ground.

Broken Hou jumped up from the chair nervously.

Standing next to Hou Su'e, Li Lang, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, stepped forward quickly, holding the porcelain bottle in Hou Su'e's hand tightly with both hands, and said nervously, "Don't, don't. This is a treasure."

He snatched the porcelain bottle carefully but firmly, and put it back in its original position.

Broken Hou felt relieved and sat back again, but still didn't speak.

Li Lang knew about the conflict between the father and daughter, so he made a decision: For the sake of the poor, let this matter go.

He said to Hou Su'e: "Well, I'll go with you to see your man."

But Hou Su'e didn't accept his favor: "I don't need you to take care of my family's affairs."

The Li Lang before the crossing wanted to collect the antiques that Hou Su'e's nephew used as a toy.

After negotiating the price, Li Lang confiscated the antique because her man didn't understand and turned the antique into scrap metal, which offended her.

So now Hou Su'e didn't want to see Li Lang.

Li Lang: "For what happened last time, take it as my fault. Let's go, I'll accompany you."

Seeing that her father still didn't speak, showing a look of "I don't care about you", Hou Su'e had no choice but to leave with Li Lang.

When he arrived at Hou Su'e's house, Li Lang saw her man lying on the bed, unconscious.

He pressed his palm on her man's forehead, and it felt hot.

"The wound infection caused a high fever, so I had to be sent to the hospital immediately, otherwise something serious would happen."

Hou Su'e lowered her head: "If I want money, I'll send him there."

Li Lang: "You don't have to worry about the money, I'll ask your dad to ask for it. Don't look at your dad like this, in fact, he doesn't blame you for a long time, but he can't let go of his face as a man and a father."

"You, after your man's condition stabilizes, find a time to apologize to your father, but don't be impulsive. If you have something to say, say it well. He is your father after all."

"I'll talk to you about this later. Now I'm going to find a tricycle and ask your father for money. Pack up and get ready."

Seeing Li Lang caring so much about her affairs, Hou Su'e was moved and said, "Brother, thank you."

"fine."

Li Lang went around the alley outside, and in a dark corner with no one there, he took the tricycle out from the space warehouse.

He said just now that he was going to get the money from the ragged Hou, but he just told Hou Su'e, but he didn't do it.

After calculating the time, it should be about the same time. Li Lang stepped on the tricycle and returned to Hou Su'e's house.

"Sister Hou, I took the money from your father. I said he wouldn't care about your affairs. Now do you believe it?"

Hou Su'e's eyes were red.

"A family, there is no overnight feud. Now is not the time to be moved. After this is over, you can go to him and apologize to him. We will send your man to the hospital now. "

"Hey. Good. Thank you, big brother."

Li Lang carried Hou Su'e's man to the tricycle outside and put him away.

Hou Su'e also sat in the car, supporting her man.

Li Lang stepped on the bike hard, pulled the couple, and rode towards the hospital.

Neither Li Lang nor Hou Su'e knew about it, but Poor Hou stood behind them, watching silently...

After sending Hou Su'e's man to the hospital, Li Lang went to hand over the money in person, busy.

He did all of this for the sake of the broken man.

If it is said that the tattered Hou raised Hou Su'e with a mouthful of food and water, it is no wonder that this daughter is going to marry his enemy's son in the end.

Li Lang knew about these past events and was happy to be the lubricant for the reconciliation of the father and daughter.

After completing all the formalities for Hou Su'e's man, Li Lang went outside to buy her some food and gave her 100 yuan.

He saw that it was getting late, so he said that he had to go back beforehand.

Hou Su'e was so moved that she could only say "thank you" to Li Lang.

Li Lang left the hospital, went straight to the courtyard of the dilapidated Hou's house, and slammed on the door.

Broken Hou soon came to open the door.

Li Lang said with a smile: "Bratty Hou, I personally went to your daughter's house, carried her man to the tricycle, and then rode the tricycle to the hospital."

There was no joy or anger on the broken Hou's face: "What's the matter? Ask me for credit?"

Li Lang: "It's not enough to ask for credit. It's a trivial matter. I'm mainly here to tell you that I paid 150 yuan in deposit and gave your daughter 100 yuan. I told her that you gave me the money .”

Poor Hou looked at Li Lang's face, and after about ten seconds, he said, "Go into the house."

The two entered the room and sat down.

The expression on Poor Hou's face was very complicated: "You have also seen my relationship with my daughter. You make up your own mind, so you are not afraid that I will not give you the money?"

The smile on Li Lang's face faded away, and he said seriously: "Broken Hou, it is said that at your age, it is not my turn to teach you a lesson. But there is a saying, I am really happy not to say it." Li Lang: "Do it right. People under the Yangmen have to do things under the Zhengyangmen. Pat your chest to be a man, and don't do things that are unconscionable."

"Brothers are never ambiguous in the face of big right and wrong. Money can't buy family affection, right and wrong."

"The 250 yuan, even if you don't give it to me, I have nothing to say. Isn't it more than 200 yuan? Compared with a human life, what is it?"

After listening to Li Lang's words, Poor Hou was silent for a while before saying, "Why do you want to help me?"

"The reason is to keep you and your daughter from being separated from each other forever."

"Do you know why my relationship with my daughter is like this?"

Li Lang almost said "Of course I know", but fortunately he reacted quickly, and the words he said became: "Why?"

Poor Hou stood up from his chair: "The Fenjiu you bought hasn't been opened yet, let's have two glasses."

Li Lang knew that Broken Hou was going to tell the story.

A bottle of good wine, two wine glasses, and a plate of peanuts are placed on the table.

Broken Hou put a peanut in his mouth, drank a glass of wine in one gulp, and opened his mouth.

"Did Hou Su'e say that my father objects to her looking for this man?"

"Well. Not only that, but you also said that you didn't give any dowry."

"Did she tell you, who is this man's father?"

"No."

"This man's father is Liu Sihai, and his grandfather is Liu Gonggong. Liu Sihai and I are enemies."

"I think he, Liu Sihai, sold me back then."

"I worked in the puppet government back then, just to run errands for others and make a living. He said in a daze that I was a traitor."

"Go to hell..."

The more broken Hou talked, the more excited he became...

At that time, Poor Hou burned Liu Sihai's three rooms on impulse and was sentenced to three years in prison.The feud between him and Liu Sihai was thus forged.

Hou Su'e is the only daughter of Poor Hou. After she was born, her mother died.

Broken Hou, a big man, did not remarry, he was both a father and a mother, and he worked hard to raise his daughter by himself.

Life is like a play, but Hou Su'e just fell in love with the son of Liu Sihai, the enemy of Poor Hou, and wanted to marry him life or death.

Of course Tattered Hou did not agree.

As a result, Hou Su'e reported Zattered Hou to the sub-district office and asked her father to go to labor reform.

In the end, the father and daughter became enemies in this way.

Poor Hou: "Tell me, can I recognize such a daughter?"

Of course Li Lang knew about the affair between Poor Hou and Hou Su'e, but he was still deeply moved when he heard it from him.

Snapped.

Li Lang suddenly slammed the table hard and said, "I can't admit it. Filial piety is the first thing. She ignored your objection and married your enemy's son. You will never have such a girl."

Poor Hou looked at Li Lang who was more excited than himself, and felt a little uncomfortable. After holding it in for a while, he finally uttered a sentence:

"You kid, you seem to really want to see my daughter and I become enemies?"

On the surface, Li Lang was surprised that Poor Hou would say this, but in his heart, he was already laughing.

People have something in common.
