I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"Why do you want to be so close to the Municipal People's Committee? Among the leaders present yesterday, no less than four were from the Municipal People's Committee. They are in charge of administrative affairs. To put it bluntly, they have no real power.

In comparison, I think both the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Food have better prospects than the People's Committee."

Only Ye Ming himself understands what he is thinking.

The big boss knew that this kid's actions must have a deeper meaning, and perhaps he was planning a bigger game.

Ye Ming smiled slightly, "Boss, there are some things I can't explain to you in detail right now.

Being in a high position, you should have a more thorough understanding of the current situation.

Now that I’m married, I just want to protect this family and wait for the day when the clouds will clear and the moon will appear.”

After hearing this, the leader frowned.

Obviously, Ye Ming had some inside information.

Less than a month after the new policy was introduced, the economy has shown signs of improvement, but internal contradictions have become increasingly acute.

The bottom-level problems are becoming increasingly prominent: the poor can fill their stomachs, the rich take the opportunity to accumulate more wealth, while the working class in the middle has not enjoyed any substantial welfare improvement.

Everyone is waiting for a key breakthrough.

However, the leader was puzzled as to how all this was related to Ye Ming's proximity to the Municipal People's Committee, so he decided not to delve into it further and just hoped that Ye Ming would understand.

After lunch, Ye Ming brought Xiao Xin and Ran Qiuye back to Yanzhi Lane. After giving a few instructions, he visited the ragged Marquis alone.

"That person has a strange personality. He claims that his great-grandfather served as the commander of the Jinyiwei, which is equivalent to the head of the current Sijiu City Public Security Bureau. He is very powerful. During the Qing Dynasty, he was a first-rank official and his family has a deep foundation.

If it doesn't suit his taste, forget about getting his favor." Holding a bottle of unopened Fenjiu in his hand, the Broken Marquis mentioned another hobby of Uncle Guan - he is a wine lover who can distinguish the type of wine just by smell. It sounds mysterious, but Uncle Guan does have this ability.

The two of them went to Dazhalan, crossed several alleys, and finally arrived at Uncle Guan's residence.

At first glance, the gate of the courtyard is unique and one of a kind.

"It's right here." said Hou Polan, pointing at the high wall.

Ye Ming went forward and knocked on the door. Soon, a pretty little girl about ten years old poked her head out.

Seeing the two strangers outside the door, the girl frowned and asked crisply, "Who are you looking for?"

Paolahou asked hurriedly, "Is Master Guan at home?"

"Grandpa, someone is looking for you, and I don't know them." The little girl turned around and shouted towards the yard.

"Little lazy cat?" Ye Ming couldn't help but feel interested when he heard this nickname.

Judging from her age, she is indeed at the stage where she can be called a "little lazy cat".

It is said that Uncle Guan's son has gone abroad, and it is estimated that in a few years, the little lazy cat will also be taken abroad.

Ye Ming was not in a hurry and waited quietly outside the door.

Not long after, a gray-haired man who looked to be in his fifties appeared in front of them.

His eyes looked a little dull and he looked older than his peers.

When he realized that it was Hou Lan who came to visit, he reluctantly raised his eyes and looked over.

The first impression Ye Ming had was one word: arrogance! This Uncle Guan's arrogance even surpassed those leaders he had seen.

"Hey, it's you. Did you bring everything?"

"The wine and bowls are all here!"

Hou Paolan raised the two items in his hands and showed them in front of Uncle Guan.

The momentum is no less impressive.

"Okay, just bring it."

After saying this, Uncle Guan turned around and walked straight into the yard.

"Come in, little lazy cat, go to the kitchen and get some cups."

"okay."

Hou Polan exchanged glances with Ye Ming and then stepped into the courtyard.

Although the layout of this courtyard is like that of an ordinary home, in terms of background, it is far inferior to the shabby marquis's own residence.

But Ye Ming knew very well that this seemingly low-key Mr. Guan had a much richer family background than the Marquis of Pauper.

Follow Uncle Guan into the inner room.

Ye Ming glanced at a pair of noodle cabinets placed in the corner.

"Oh, it's made of Huanghuali wood. Look at the craftsmanship. Could it be an old item from the Ming Dynasty? Old man, did you put it in the wrong place?"

After saying this, Uncle Guan paused for a moment.

Only then did he raise his eyes and look directly at Ye Ming.

Hou Polan was a little slow to react, but he also discovered the pair of treasures at this moment.

He leaned in to smell it, then looked at it carefully, and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Wow, it's narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the back is covered with dust. It's definitely an antique from the Ming Dynasty. Uncle Guan, are you just casually placing your treasure here?"

Even a master collector like Hou Polan could not help but linger in the presence of such precious collections.

However, Uncle Guan ignored his surprise.

Instead, he became somewhat curious about Ye Ming.

"Good boy, from such a distance, how can you tell that this is Huanghuali?"

"I have a good nose, and I could smell the unique fragrance of huanghuali as soon as I entered the house."

After hearing this, Uncle Guan burst into laughter. In all his years, this was the first time he had met such an interesting young man.

"I was wondering why you brought such a young boy with you. It seems like you had a plan in mind."

Hou Polan had already seen Ye Ming's abilities, and he was definitely able to arouse the interest of Master Guan.

But no one expected that he would give people a warning right from the start.

Hou Polan was very proud and decided to help Uncle Guan complete his collection of treasures today no matter what.

"Based on this kid's keen eyesight, he will definitely catch your eye. I have brought you the bowl, you..."

Hearing this, Uncle Guan became instantly excited and his breathing became rapid.

The set of bowls that he had longed to collect meant a lot to him.

When Hou Polan placed three small enamel bowls engraved with "Fragrant Tea", "Enjoy the Wine" and "Look Back" on the table, Uncle Guan could no longer take his eyes away.

At that moment, thousands of emotions surged in my heart.

But the Tattered Marquis seemed a little impatient.

"Don't just stare at it. Take out the bowl in your hand and have a look."

"Not urgent."

Uncle Guan was a little dissatisfied when his thoughts were interrupted, but he didn't delay any further.

Slowly take out the last small bowl named "Juyouyuan" from the cabinet.

As the four small bowls gathered together, Ye Ming's heartbeat also accelerated.

Like Uncle Guan and Marquis Polan, he had long coveted this set of four small enameled bowls.

"Little lazy cat, bring me the wine."

Only after the lazy cat brought the cup did Grandpa Guan shift his attention away from the small bowl.

His eyelids drooped slightly, and he waved his right hand gently: "Let's get started."

Paolahou bowed to Master Guan and casually said a drinking game: "Three words side by side are powerful, three words connected to the mountains and hills, without a powerful person, how can you plow the mountains and hills?"

Ye Ming had played the drinking game with Hou Polan several times.

Today, both sides are clearly giving their all for the ownership of these four small enamel bowls.
