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

(I wrote five chapters yesterday. Due to the security review issue on the site, I revised the chapters again and again, and finally I could only publish three chapters. The rest of the chapters didn’t have the same flavor. I might as well not write them. So I deleted two chapters directly due to review issues.)

It was almost 9 o'clock in the evening. In the restaurant, everyone was ready to go home after having a good meal and chatting. Dewang took Li Zihang downstairs to pay the bill.

Including the processing fee, the total cost of this banquet was 56 yuan. This meal cost an average person two months' salary.

Li Zihang asked his servant to take his bicycle back, and he and his elder brother took the car home.

In the car, the old man looked at the three little leopard cats in the cage and said helplessly: "Why did you buy three of these to raise?"

"Put these bottles and jars in the house, and the birds you raise. It will be useful in the future!"

Li Zihang: "Grandpa, look how cute these three little ones are. Cats can be very obedient if they are trained well."

"Grandma and Yu Shui are not the most fond of these fluffy little pets. If they don't behave, I will keep them in captivity."

The old man stopped arguing: "You will regret it someday. Let me make this clear. If you can't take good care of them and they break things at home, don't blame me for throwing them away."

The topic changed. Li Zihang talked about Wang Tianhou. "Grandpa, do you believe what he just said?"

The old man said, "I don't believe a word he said. There are so many stories in the antique business. Don't care what he said. Remember, don't believe a word of it. Just recognize the things."

"Just look at the things calmly. Then we can talk about the next thing."

Li Zihang: "Then tell me, is this thing old or new? Also, the shopkeeper made one new and one old. The old one can't have been dropped. Could the one we have in our hands have been made later?"

The old man said: "The material is right, the craftsmanship is right. The words and the style of the Imperial Household Department are right. There is only one piece now. It doesn't matter if it is new. There are many real and fake things in the antique business. New things become old. Old things become new. As long as the thing is right, it is real."

Dewang also spoke up at this time: "Grandpa, are we really going to see the house tomorrow? I always feel that the old man has something to say."

The old man listened to Dewang's words and smiled: "Before I came here, I found out his background. That old fellow has a dirty background and is planning to run away."

"But it has nothing to do with our family. We can still buy the things. As long as it's a good house, there's nothing wrong with accepting it."

"Xiao Wang, go and look at the house tomorrow. Once you have chosen it, talk to him about the price. Leave the rest to your entourage."

Li Zihang thought, in the past few years, his family has bought a lot of houses. He has three in his name. There are also some unnamed ones. These days, all documents are handwritten. After stamping the house title, writing the date, address and owner clearly, the house is yours.

The old man used a trick to deal with the unnamed property. He stamped the property and filled in the form. He left the name of the householder blank.

From now on, whoever's name is written on the house will own it. The government real estate archives do not have complete backups. After all these years of turmoil, there are still big loopholes.

In Xiaoweiying Hutong, Gou Zi and his gang have already handled the matter to the final step.

Gouzi: "The opportunity is all left to you. From now on, you can go to Hong Kong to make a fortune, or continue to be a rat in the sewer in China. It all depends on your choice."

After saying that, he took out a letter and 500 yuan and put them on the table.

"The money is for your travel expenses. As for the letter, it's for when you get to the fishing village and you can use it to call someone."

"I won't send anyone to follow you. If you run away halfway, that's your choice. As I said before, it's up to you whether you are a dragon or a worm."

The pickpockets, who had been untied at this time, looked at each other. They looked at Gou Zi in disbelief. Then they looked at Lao Wu who betrayed them viciously.

At this time, the pickpocket Lao Wu was also panicking. He estimated that once Gou Zi and the others left, his companions would punish him. He would be badly beaten if he didn't die.

So he immediately came up with an idea and knelt on the ground to beg Gouzi to accept him as his younger brother and not follow the pickpocket gang to Hong Kong.

After thinking for a while, Gouzi decided to take the boy in.

Finally, the pickpockets looked at the traitor Lao Wu who followed Gou Zi and his gang and followed them out. They were so angry that their teeth were itching.

After everyone left, the second pickpocket said, "Brother, do we really want to go to the other side of the sea? Will they wait until we get there and then take our lives?"

The two accomplices next to him also echoed.

The pickpocket leader looked at the money and letter on the table. He was not sure what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "That group of people really wanted to kill us. They just wanted to kill us. And they went around in circles."

"Okay, pack up and leave tomorrow. We can't stay in Sijiu City anymore."

"Damn it. Damn Lao Wu. He better not fall into my hands in the future. Otherwise, I will make him suffer a fate worse than death."

The next morning, Gouzi came to Li's house with a man carrying a mahogany box.

Decai saw that it was Uncle Gou, opened the door, and ran to the backyard to build a cattery with Li Zihang.

The three kittens I brought back yesterday are so precious to the little ones at home.

Li Zihang, Yushui, and Decai were all in the backyard, using wooden boards to build a cattery for the cats.

In the north room, the study, the old man put down the historical book about the Phoenix Seal.

I looked up and saw the dog and another person standing there.

"Is the matter done?"

Gouzi: "Master, it's done. The people are brothers today, watch them take the train."

The old man walked over to the wooden box, squatted down and said, "Is everything here?"

Gouzi went forward and quickly opened the box.

"It's all here. A painting, a dragon robe, a jade Guanyin. And a few small odds and ends."

After Gouzi finished speaking, he took out the painting and the jade Guanyin and placed them on the desk. The dragon robe was wrapped in fine satin. Then he carefully opened the package, gently lifted the dragon robe, and showed it to the old man. Daegu was also beside Gouzi to help him unfold the dragon robe.

The old man looked at the dragon robe in front of him, kneading it gently, and then holding a magnifying glass, observing the seams and the silk threads on the dragon robe.

This robe has a round collar, a large right-side lapel, horseshoe sleeves, a cuff with stone collar and collar, blue flowers, woven gold edges, gold edges, left and right and front and back hems, a straight robe, and twelve chapters. The lining is a light lake-colored dark flowered silk lining. It is decorated with four copper, gilded, and engraved buttons. It is tied with a yellow stripe, embroidered with yellow satin cotton, and is a "gold dragon robe".

The old man looked at it and said, "What a good thing. I never dared to think of getting this kind of clothing before! It came out of the soil, which is unlucky. It is also incomplete. I never thought that I would get such a golden dragon robe in my later years, the formal dress that the emperor wore for sacrifices."

After looking at it inside and out for seven or eight minutes, the old man asked the two men to put away the dragon robe.

Then he sat on the armchair and admired the jade Guanyin. He looked up and saw Gouzi and the other man were still standing there. He greeted them and poured himself some tea to rest.

Then I played with and appreciated the jade carvings.

The Jade Guanyin, wearing a phoenix crown, an open-sleeved round-necked robe, and cloud-shaped shoes, is sitting on a Chinese dragon-head chair. She holds a child in her left hand and has her right hand on her knee. There is a maid on each side.

This Guanyin is a fat wet nurse holding a child, with her chest exposed, feeding. The entire jade sculpture has nine children, some standing and some sitting, with arms stretched out or legs bent, innocent and adorable.

There is also a couplet engraved on the back of the jade carving: "Auspicious unicorns have no luck and no heirs; successful phoenixes tend to visit families that have accumulated good deeds."

After putting down the jade Guanyin, the old man said with great joy: "Another great treasure. A fertility-giving Guanyin from the Northern Wei Dynasty. But the material is a little inferior, it is agate."

"But it is also because of agate that there are colors such as red, white, gray, and green. These colors also make the entire jade sculpture come alive. The characters are vivid and lifelike. The expressions are also very lifelike. It's amazing, amazing."

Then he put down the jade carving without letting it go.

He began to slowly open the scroll. As the scroll was opened 2 feet, the old man's expression gradually became serious. The whole painting was a bit large, and there were too many things on the desk, making it difficult to unfold the scroll.

The old man cleared the things on the table and then opened the whole scroll.

The old man held a handkerchief in his left hand, covering his mouth and nose. He held a magnifying glass in his right hand, bent down, and looked carefully at every part of the scroll.

Fifteen minutes later, the old man finally sat on the stool. His frown relaxed. He said to the other man sitting on the opposite bed, "Daqiu, go to the backyard and call Xiaohang over to me."

Daegu stood up and responded, "Understood, Master."

After saying that, he walked out of the study.

The old man looked at Daegu who was walking out, and then said to Gouzi, "Did those little thieves steal the treasury of the imperial palace? They were full of incredible things. If they were placed in the National Palace Museum, they would be the treasures of the museum."

Gouzi replied calmly: "Master! You have guessed one thing. That group of thieves did steal the treasury. But it was not the emperor's treasury. They stole the treasury from the descendants of the guards who guarded the inner treasury for the emperor."

"I guess that the commander of the guards was kicked out of the palace and stole the items. Otherwise, these items would not have been lost to the public."

The old man sighed and said: "No wonder~"

"Wu Zhetian's Phoenix Seal, the Qing emperor's golden dragon robe for sacrificial ceremonies, Dong Yuan's Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, and the Guanyin of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Each one is a national treasure among national treasures. Only the royal family can gather all these treasures."

After the old man finished speaking, he took out two stacks of money from the secret compartment of the bookshelf drawer and placed them on the small table on the Luohan bed.

"You take half of the 2 yuan, and share the rest with the brothers who are doing this job."

"Also, before you leave, go to the kitchen and get some game and nutritional supplements. Give them to your wife to nourish her body and take care of the pregnancy."

"You are not a child anymore. Find yourself a disciple. Leave future matters to him. You can just live a peaceful life with your wife and children."

"Now is not the time for us to jump. I'm counting on you to help me look after Xiao Hang in the future."

After hearing this, Gou Zi choked up for a moment.

"Master, why are you suddenly saying this? You will be fine, and you will watch the young master grow up, get married and have children."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you protect the young master for the rest of my life."...
