Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

This courtyard house has been passed down from generation to generation in his family. Although it has been in disrepair for many years, it still shows the traces of time and the vicissitudes of the family. Xu Mingjie is the only heir of this family. His parents died when he was very young, leaving this orphan. He grew up in this courtyard since he was a child.

Xu Mingjie's father once told him that this courtyard was once the residence of a prominent family with a glorious history and abundant wealth. However, during the great revolution of the last century, the fate of the family changed dramatically, and the former glory and wealth turned into smoke. Today, this courtyard has become an abandoned relic, and only Xu Mingjie is guarding it alone.

This afternoon, Xu Mingjie was filled with anxiety. His grandfather had recently fallen ill and was in critical condition. Behind the door deep in the yard, there was a family secret hidden, a secret that was closely related to the family's rise and fall.

A few months ago, Xu Mingjie accidentally found an old box in a corner of the yard, which was full of old letters and documents. Through these documents, he gradually learned about the glory and struggle of his ancestors, as well as the secret about the fate of the family.

Xu Mingjie's grandfather once told him that the fate of their family was entangled by an ancient curse. Only by solving the secret can they get rid of the curse and revitalize the family. And behind the closed door is the only way to the truth.

Xu Mingjie decided to open the door, unlock the family secrets and save their fate, but he knew that this decision might trigger an irreversible storm and change the fate of the entire family.

On a summer afternoon, the atmosphere in the courtyard seemed frozen in time. Xu Mingjie sat on a rattan chair in the yard, holding a yellowed book in his hand, but his eyes kept looking at the closed door deep in the yard. The secret behind the door was like a heavy bomb hanging in his heart, threatening his heart at all times.

Suddenly, a figure walked through the yard, breaking the quiet atmosphere. It was his good friend Ran Qiuqin, and his arrival made Xu Mingjie feel a little relieved.

"Mingjie, why are you sitting here alone again?" Ran Qiuqin's voice was filled with a hint of worry and concern.

Xu Mingjie smiled, put down the book in his hand, and stood up to greet his friend. "Yes, I have been thinking about something." He answered frankly.

Ran Qiuqin walked over to Xu Mingjie and patted him on the shoulder. "If there's something bothering you, maybe it would be better if you talk about it."

Xu Mingjie was silent for a moment, and then told Ran Qiuqin about his worries. He told her about his grandfather's illness, the family secrets, and his own confusion. After listening to him, Ran Qiuqin showed her understanding and support.

"Mingjie, maybe we can work together to find a way to unlock the secret behind that door." Ran Qiuqin suggested, "I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to find the answer."

Xu Mingjie heard this, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. "Thank you, Qiu Qin. Your support means a lot to me."

Ran Qiuqin smiled and nodded, "You're welcome. Friends should support each other."

From that day on, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuqin began a journey of exploration about the family secrets. They visited many elders of the older generation of the family, trying to get some clues about the past from them. With their efforts, they gradually got some clues.

By chance, Xu Mingjie learned about a potential supply channel between Luohu Port and Zhongying Street. This news made him brighten up because it meant he had a new business opportunity. Ran Qiuqin was also full of expectations for this, and he decided to fully support Xu Mingjie and help him open up this supply channel.

So, with the help of Ran Qiuqin, Xu Mingjie quickly opened up the supply channels of Luohu Port and Zhongying Street. They worked tirelessly between cities, established contacts with various vendors, and gradually established their own supply network.

As time went by, Xu Mingjie's business became more and more prosperous, and his courtyard gradually regained its former prosperity. And the friendship between him and Ran Qiuqin also deepened during this experience.

However, although everything seemed to be going well, Xu Mingjie's heart could not calm down. The secret behind the closed door was still like a heavy stone, pressing on his heart, making him unable to find true peace.

On a summer afternoon, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuqin came to an antique shop on Zhongying Street. The purpose of their trip was to look for some precious cultural relics related to the history of the courtyard house, hoping to find clues to unlock the family secrets.

The antique shop was filled with a light scent of sandalwood, and the various antiques on the shelves sparkled, exuding the vicissitudes of time. Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuqin were admiring the treasures in the store while looking for their goals.

"This calligraphy and painting looks good." Ran Qiuqin pointed at a piece of calligraphy and said, "Maybe there are some clues in it."

Xu Mingjie came forward and looked at the painting carefully. The painting depicted a solemn courtyard vividly, with drooping willow trees and mottled tiles in the courtyard, which seemed to tell the story of an era.

"Who is the author of this painting?" Xu Mingjie asked.

The shop owner replied proudly: "This was painted by Huang Shan, a painter from the Qing Dynasty. It is said to be based on a real courtyard house."

"The real courtyard?" Ran Qiuqin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you know its exact location?"

The shop owner thought for a moment and said, "It is said that this courtyard is located in an old neighborhood in the south of the city, but the exact location is difficult to verify."

Xu Mingjie's mind was moved. He thought that perhaps this courtyard house was the old house of his family. So he bought the calligraphy and painting without hesitation, hoping to find some clues from it.

After leaving the antique shop, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuqin came to a teahouse near Luohu Port, ready to have a good discussion.

"This time we have gained a lot." Ran Qiuqin said with a smile, "Perhaps this calligraphy and painting can provide us with some clues to solve the family secrets."

Xu Mingjie nodded and gently placed the calligraphy and painting in his hand on the table. "Yes, I think this painting may be inextricably linked to our family."

The two were silent for a moment, and then began to discuss. Xu Mingjie showed his business acumen. He bargained with the teahouse owner confidently, trying to buy tea and ceramics at the best price to provide more resources for their business.
