Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

When Li Zihang heard that his great-grandfather had married four wives, he couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, didn't you find me a second grandmother or a third grandmother?"

The old man laughed and scolded angrily: "You little bastard, what's that look in your eyes?"

Li Zihang: "Grandpa, when you were young, I know that every wealthy family had three wives and four concubines. Don't tell me you don't have any?"

The old man looked at his grandson's insistence on asking questions, and helplessly explained, "When I was young, it was a time of turmoil. Anyone with ambition wanted to make a name for themselves."

"I am no exception. When I was young, I relied on my family's property and reputation. When I was out there, I met your grandmother. Then, after a lot of twists and turns, I finally married your grandmother home. Later, I inherited the family business and followed your great-grandfather to take over the family business and became the next head of the main family."

"Firstly, I didn't have that thought in mind at the time. Secondly, your grandma was very strict. I had a lover outside, and your grandma would definitely know about it. Then she sent the person away. Your grandma was very angry with me at the time. But I really like your grandma, so I let her do as she pleased in many things."

"After that, with your father and his family, I had even less time to think about it. I was busy with the master's business all day long. How could I have the time to think about other things?"

Li Zihang still felt uneasy after hearing what the old man said: "Grandpa, please don't bring out a illegitimate child. If he comes to our house, he will cause chaos and unrest."

The old man laughed and scolded Li Zihang: "You little bastard, are you asking for a beating? You dare to interfere in my affairs? I know clearly whether there is something wrong or not. Stop worrying about these trivial things."

Li Zihang took out the Hetian jade seed material hand-held piece he had played with last time from the bookshelf. He played with it in his hand and said, "By the way, Grandpa, you haven't told me yet, have you found the entrance to the underground palace?"

Old man: "Nonsense! Of course I found it. After all these years, I still can't find it, so I might as well die."

Li Zihang was a little excited: "Grandpa, take me in to have a look. Let me see the world and see how many treasures there are."

The old man looked at his grandson excitedly and said, "Virtue. Okay, you are grown up now. I won't hide these things from you. But grandson, you have to keep your mouth shut."

Li Zihang calmed down and said, "Grandpa, don't you know your grandson well? From childhood to adulthood, have I ever told anyone anything you told me to do? I haven't even told Uncle Seven and the others what you told me not to say."

The old man thought so too, and said, "There are two entrances to this underground palace. One is in the back garden, under the rockery. The other is in this study. There are two entrances on the second floor, and they are not connected to each other. Just in case, it is dark under the lamp. People would never think that there are two floors in the underground palace."

"I'll take you to the entrance of the study."

The old man stood up and walked to the bed. There was a switch on the wall that moved up and down for the study light.

The old man turned on the light switch and pressed it flat. Then he pressed it hard again. Then he pushed the bed gently and pushed it to the middle of the study. A hole appeared under the bed. There was a spiral staircase below.

Li Zihang watched this set of operations and was shocked by the ingenious idea of ​​this mechanism.

Li Zihang: "Grandpa, this mechanism is amazing."

The old man also said proudly, "That's right, this Luohan bed is placed on a movable golden brick floor. For those who don't know, even if he moves the bed away and knocks on the floor tiles, there will be no strange noise."

"Okay, you can study these slowly later. Come with me to the underground palace."

The old man took his grandson down the spiral concrete staircase and walked into the underground palace.

Li Zihang looked at the passage, which was fully illuminated by electric lights, and couldn't help but ask the old man: "Grandpa, I don't see any light switches here. Why are all the lights in this secret passage on?"

The old man walked down the spiral staircase and said, "Silly grandson, when I opened the entrance to the mechanism up there, this light was integrated with the mechanism. The moment the mechanism was opened, all the lights in this secret passage lit up."

After walking along the spiral staircase for a long time, he finally reached the bottom. There was a big steel door under the underground palace. The old man took out the key and opened the door. Then he turned on the light switch on the wall. Li Zihang finally saw the true appearance of the underground palace.

The underground palace is entirely made of reinforced concrete structures, with two rows of cement pillars standing upright on top.

It is 2 meters high. Based on the area of ​​his own back garden, this underground palace is at least 5 square meters.

The space inside was filled with large wooden boxes, which were arranged in a crisscross pattern to leave room for people to pass through.

Li Zihang casually opened a wooden box, which turned out to contain several bronze artifacts. He then opened a large box, which contained five whole ivory carvings.

As Li Zihang opened the boxes one by one, he found jade carvings, gemstones, pearls, agates, bronze wares, and many other porcelains. There were also many paintings and calligraphy.

There were also several large boxes filled with neatly stacked gold bars.

The gold bars were shining under the light, and the reflected golden light almost blinded Li Zihang's eyes. He was stunned at this moment. He seemed to be lost, and then he opened the wooden boxes one by one.

Li Zihang looked at the various rare treasures in the box, and he felt weak all over. He sat down on the ground.

The old man looked at his grandson and didn't bother him. These rare treasures, gold and silver, everyone would be shocked when they saw them for the first time.

Li Zihang, who had been absent-minded for a long time, took out a rhino horn cup with a carved figure on it from the box next to him.

He stared at the rhino horn cup with lifeless eyes. A few minutes later, he took a few deep breaths and slapped himself twice before he came to his senses.

When he got up from the ground, his legs went weak and he almost fell. He put down the rhino horn cup and stood up shakily, holding onto the wooden box.

Standing there, looking around, he saw that he had opened less than one tenth of the boxes. His legs felt like they were filled with lead. He staggered to the old man and said tremblingly, "Grandpa! These are all ours." He pointed at the treasures in the underground palace.

The old man looked at his grandson and said with a smile, "Are you stupid? If you are not from our family, how could I bring you here? You are not bad, you can stand up after seeing these."

"What's wrong? Are your legs weak? Do you want me to hold you up?"

Li Zihang waved his hands quickly: "No, Grandpa, you don't need to support me. I'll take it easy. Let me take it easy for a while."

The old man: "Okay. Take your time. I'll take the account book and record some things. Many things here are not registered. I, your grandfather, can only register them one by one. From now on, we will do this work together."

The old man opened a drawer from a nearby bookshelf, took out an account book, took out a pen, walked to the box where he had recorded last time, squatted down, and began to record the treasures in the box.

Li Zihang's excited heart has not yet calmed down, and he sat blankly on the box beside him, watching his grandfather squatting over there recording the treasures coming in.

I don't know how long it took. Li Zihang suddenly yelled "Ah~" and the old man was so scared that the pen in his hand fell to the ground.

The old man squatted on the ground, turned his head to look at his grandson, and started to curse: "You little calf! What are you yelling about? Do you know that I, your grandfather, almost got sick because of your yelling? Damn it."

After saying that, the old man picked up the pen on the ground.

Old man: "Have you recovered? If not, go up. If you really can't, go to the yard and practice boxing. The ghosts howling and wolves howling, I am scared to death."

Li Zihang listened to the old man's words, nodded, and turned away.

The old man looked at his grandson's back as he left and scolded him with a smile, "You useless thing."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to record. Before he wrote a few words, he muttered to himself: "Come on, this grandson will definitely come back soon." The old man shook his head after saying that...
