I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Uncle Guan is also an expert in this art. After a brief thought, he smiled and responded, "Three characters side by side represent deep affection. Three characters connected together represent ripples on the water. Without deep affection, how can there be ripples on the water?"

Hou Polan frowned, and Ye Ming was shaking his head beside him.

In the first game, Uncle Guan was clearly more skilled.

"please."

Hou Paolan said no more, raised his cup and drank it all, his expression clearly showing his dissatisfaction.

Uncle Guan smiled slightly, and then threw out a more difficult drinking order: "The horse gallops, I lie drunkenly under the peach blossoms, and when I go out, I see people admiring the flowers."

Marquis Polan frowned even deeper. This drinking order quoted a verse from the Book of Songs and required the next sentence to contain the word "peach blossom", and it had to correspond neatly. It was obvious that Master Guan intended to end the battle quickly.

"If you can't think of anything, forget it. Let's drink."

After Uncle Guan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Ming standing aside and asked tentatively:

"Are you here just to hang out?"

"Okay then. I'll respectfully obey your command." Ye Ming was waiting for Uncle Guan to say this. Without any hesitation, he directly threw out his drinking order.

"The distinguished guests are at the table, enjoying the tranquility, and a few branches of plum blossoms reflect the world in my heart."

“Wonderful!”

As soon as Ye Ming finished speaking, Hou Polan's eyes immediately flashed with admiration, and he clapped his knees in praise.

Uncle Guan gradually put away his previous smile and became serious.

At this moment, he finally put away his playful attitude and looked Ye Ming straight in the eye.

Nowadays, very few young people know how to play drinking games.

Ye Ming smiled slightly, and without being polite, he added another sentence.

"Driving and galloping, I am filled with long thoughts on the way home. The shepherd boy points to the depths of the apricot blossoms. Uncle Guan, this glass of wine, is it your turn to drink it?"

"What a boy!"

Uncle Guan was so delighted that he didn't find any excuses to refuse and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Another round?"

"Please enlighten me!"

"Drinking all day and getting drunk every night, the future is full of flowers.

Drinking fine wine is the icing on the cake, and it is as refreshing as the spring river water. "

Upon hearing this, Marquis Polan frowned and thought, but couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply cast his expectant gaze towards Ye Ming.

The little lazy cat was also watching with wide eyes.

Uncle Guan taught her a lot of traditional knowledge, so she knows a thing or two about it.

She was also curious about whether this stranger, who seemed to be nothing special, could handle the situation well.

Ye Ming smiled calmly.

"Drunkenness day after day and deep sleep night after night, I wish you a long and peaceful life.

Year after year, I am intoxicated with peace, forgetting my worries and having endless joy. "

Hearing this, Uncle Guan looked displeased, picked up the small enamel bowl and handed it to the lazy cat for safekeeping.

Seeing that he was about to cheat, Hou Polan could no longer sit still.

"Hey, what do you mean? Are you still going to deny it? If this gets out, your reputation as a local boss in Beijing will be ruined. It's not worth it just for such a small bowl, right?"

"Hey, this is strange. You let an outsider interfere in our family affairs, and now you blame me for not following the rules."

"No, you just don't admit it because you see that I can't win? Your granddaughter is watching right beside us. In front of the younger generation, we should admit defeat, right?"

Seeing that the enamel bowls were about to be collected, how could Marquis Polan tolerate Master Guan's default on his debt?

Even if it's just an antique, if you lose it, you lose.

But for Uncle Guan, the meaning of this small bowl far exceeds its economic value, so how could he give it away so easily?

Just when the situation reached a stalemate, Ye Ming spoke.

"I have a compromise. Would you like to hear it?"

"If you have something to say, just say it now, don't keep me in suspense."

Uncle Guan responded unhappily, knowing full well that if it weren't for Ye Ming today, he wouldn't have been in such an embarrassing situation.

"I see that neither of you is willing to give in. If you continue arguing like this, there will be no result even if you continue until tomorrow.

It took a lot of effort to put this set of enamel bowls together, you two definitely don’t want them to be separated again, right?”

"Why do I feel like there's something hidden in what you said?"

Hou Polan had dealt with Ye Ming several times and had some understanding of his character.

"Okay, stop beating around the bush and just say what you want to say."

"In that case, I'll be frank. Since you two can't decide who's better, I can keep this set of bowls for you as a witness... Hey, Master Guan, Old Hou, I just got married yesterday, so don't rush into it."

"Go away, go away, you are still thinking about my little bowl, you are dreaming."

After understanding Ye Ming's purpose, Uncle Guan and Hou Polan reached a rare agreement and drove Ye Ming out of the yard without any explanation.

It sounds good to say "keeping it for you".

It's obvious that this guy is not a good person. Once something goes into his pocket, I'm afraid you can never get it back.

"Forget it. It's a wasted trip."

Ye Ming looked at the courtyard wall in front of him, feeling helpless.

Things seemed more complicated than he had expected.

These two people regard their collections as their life. If they don’t truly appreciate them, they would never give such important items to others.

This matter cannot be rushed and needs to be planned slowly.

Ye Ming took three days off, and Ran Qiuye gradually adapted to her new role.

The two were newlyweds, so naturally they were inseparable.

They spent the whole day together with Xiaoxin, no longer caring about the trivial matters in the factory or the big and small things in the yard.

On the first morning after the holiday, Ye Ming woke up on time and found that Ran Qiuye had already prepared breakfast.

"You'll be late if you dawdle any longer. Come and try the breakfast I made. This is my first time cooking, so don't laugh at me if it doesn't taste good."

This is the warm feeling that life should have.

Ye Ming smiled and held her in his arms, tenderly caressing her for a moment, then reluctantly got up and left the bed.

Several major events also occurred in the neighboring yard during this period.

Qin Huairu ignored Qin Jingru's pleading and resolutely sent her back to the countryside.

This world is indeed too complicated for her, with too many schemes and it is easy for her to go astray.

Liu Haizhong finally succeeded in getting a job at the waste recycling station, and his life finally got back on track and became stable.

Driven by the new policy, the lives of people in the 49th district of Beijing gradually returned to an orderly track.

The wheel of time is approaching silently.

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ever since Ye Ming revealed his cards at the last wedding, no one dared to provoke them.

When Xu Damao and Sha Zhu met them, they would choose to avoid them and walk away.

Have always been in peace.

The only regrettable thing is that Ran Qiuye has not been able to conceive a child yet.

Ye Ming has checked carefully and found that it is a physical problem. He can only recuperate slowly. After all, they are both still young and he is not in a hurry.

Life is peaceful and stable.

However, Ran Qiuye keenly noticed that Ye Ming's mental state seemed to be becoming increasingly anxious.

It was another ordinary day. After Xiaoxin fell asleep peacefully, Ye Ming also prepared to turn off the lights and go to bed.

Finally, Ran Qiuye couldn't hold back the doubts and worries in his heart, and asked Ye Ming:

"I noticed that you have been feeling uneasy since this spring. Is there something wrong?"
