Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Su Ming's parents are both native Beijingers. They keep this courtyard in good order. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, the flowers, trees and bonsai in the courtyard are carefully maintained. His father, Mr. Su, is a retired teacher. He leisurely fiddles with his calligraphy works in the courtyard and occasionally teaches Su Ming some ancient poems and cultural knowledge. His mother is a gentle and virtuous housewife. She likes to plant flowers and grass in the yard and takes care of every plant and tree in the house every day.

Growing up in such an environment, Su Ming learned to respect his elders and understand the art of life. Since he was a child, he liked to listen to his grandfather telling stories about the past and the interesting things and legends that happened in the courtyard. These stories gave him a deeper understanding of family and traditional culture, and also stimulated his strong interest in history.

As time went by, Su Ming gradually grew up and entered a well-known university. He left the courtyard of old Beijing and went to a modern city to start a new life. Although he was in the hustle and bustle of the city, he always missed the ancient courtyard and those warm and beautiful times in his heart.

The study life in college was fulfilling and busy. Su Ming studied hard and worked hard to pursue his dream. He chose the major of cultural heritage protection, hoping to turn his love for history and tradition into a career. Whenever he felt tired, he would recall the years he spent with his family in the courtyard. Those carefree times became the source of motivation for him to keep moving forward.

After graduating from university, Su Ming got a job as a cultural heritage protection expert. His job gave him the opportunity to visit various places to inspect, protect and restore ancient buildings, and also made him understand his original intention more deeply. In his heart, the courtyard house in old Beijing is a precious cultural memory. It is not only a witness to history, but also a symbol of people's emotions and lifestyle.

As time goes by, Su Ming occasionally returns to the courtyard of old Beijing to visit his parents and feel the peaceful atmosphere. The old trees in the courtyard are still green, and the stone paths are still clean and tidy, as if time has stopped here. Every time he returns here, he will chat with his parents in the courtyard about family matters, the past and future plans.

Su Ming knows that no matter where he is, this courtyard is his home in his heart. It not only carries the happy time of his childhood, but also witnesses his growth and struggle. In his spare time from busy work, he will pick up a notebook to record his thoughts and feelings here, hoping to pass on this precious memory.

Xu Mingjie listened carefully, and a feeling of warmth and sympathy welled up in his heart: "Oh, I understand. Family problems do bring a lot of pressure and anxiety."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and continued, "Especially recently, my mother's work has encountered some challenges, and the financial pressure has gradually increased. I try my best to appear strong, but in fact, I am also full of uncertainty about the future."

Xu Mingjie listened silently and felt the fragility and strength of Lou Xiao'e's heart. He gently held her hand and said softly: "Xiao'e, you don't have to bear this alone. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together and support each other."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and looked into his sincere eyes, feeling an inexplicable comfort and touch in her heart. She knew that Xu Mingjie was not only a responsible urban planner, but also someone who cared about her and supported her.

They sat in the yard in silence for a while. Gradually, Xu Mingjie's mood became calm and stable again. He felt that the communication and understanding between him and Lou Xiaoe made him more determined in his beliefs and responsibilities.

Finally, they got up and went back to the house. Xu Mingjie decided to deal with the work problems as soon as possible and pay more attention to and accompany his father. Lou Xiaoe also decided to face the challenges of the family and face everything in the future with a stronger attitude.

Xu Mingjie was silent for a while, then nodded slowly and admitted, "Yes, I knew about Lao Wang's cheating a long time ago."

Lou Xiao'e looked up in surprise, with a hint of puzzlement and confusion in her eyes: "You knew it a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me?"

Xu Mingjie sighed deeply, his expression complicated. "I don't want to ruin your relationship with Lao Wang, nor do I want you to fall into more trouble and pain. You've been sad enough during that time. I think as long as Lao Wang can realize his mistakes, we can face it together and help you get back on your feet."

Lou Xiao'e was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect Xu Mingjie to have known this secret for a long time, but chose to hide it from her. She felt a little disappointed and angry for a while, but more importantly, she didn't know how to face this sudden fact.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lou Xiao'e's voice trembled. "Is it because you think I can't handle it? Or do you think it will make me even more sad?"

Xu Mingjie held her hand tightly and looked into her eyes seriously: "Xiao'e, it's not that I don't believe in your courage and strength. I just hope that before I confirm the facts, I can find a better way to tell you. I know this is a huge blow to you, and I don't want to see you hurt."

Lou Xiao'e's emotions began to fluctuate, and her tears flowed down involuntarily. She felt that she had been deceived, but she also felt Xu Mingjie's care and protection for her. She tried to control her emotions, took a few deep breaths, and then said with difficulty: "I don't know how to face Lao Wang, I don't even know how to face myself."

Xu Mingjie gently put his arm around her shoulders and said soothingly, "Xiao'e, you are not facing this alone. We can find a solution together. No matter what, I will support you."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes: "Thank you, Mingjie. Although I am in a very confused mood now, I will calm down as soon as possible and face this reality."

They were silent for a while, and the night in the yard became even quieter. Xu Mingjie silently prayed for Lou Xiao'e, hoping that she could get out of the emotional trough as soon as possible and find herself again.

Suddenly, Lou Xiaoe raised her head, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I'm going to find Lao Wang, face him, and ask him clearly."

Xu Mingjie shook his head gently: "Xiao'e, you are still very emotional now, we'd better calm down first."

Lou Xiao'e had already made up her mind. She stood up with a determined look in her eyes: "I need to know the truth. I can't be kept in the dark anymore."
