I messed up the Siheyuan

Thinking about what the second daughter-in-law did, Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh and said, "Old Na, your daughter-in-law is like 'if you don't commit suicide, you won't die'."

"Uh!..." Na Er couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

But soon, he gave Wang Ping a thumbs up and praised him, "Pingzi, what you said is really good!

My wife is just like this!

Tell me...

In that chaotic time, why was she, a woman, doing such a fuss?

This will only cost you your life.

Hi!...

Forget it, let’s not talk about her anymore.

Let me tell you about myself!

My whole life!

Hehe...actually I haven’t really suffered any serious consequences!

Although when I was young, I let the servants at home steal a lot of things...

Later, he even asked his wife to embezzle and took away most of the family wealth.

But! ...Thanks to the house in the alley left by my ancestors, I have never been poor.

If I have no money, I will sell some houses. If I have no money again, I will sell some more houses...

Just by selling the ancestral home, no matter how chaotic the world is, I have managed to never have to worry about food and drink!

But! ...No matter how many houses you have, they will all be sold out one day.

When the new society comes, I will only have this small courtyard left.”

At this point, he pointed to the back house in front with a bit of complacency, and then said: "Fortunately! ... Hehe... I have the reputation of foresight!

Not only did I store the good things in the four side rooms, but I also put five full boxes in the back room, totaling three hundred small yellow croakers.

Just relying on these small yellow croakers, in the new society, even if I do nothing... hehe... I can still eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.

Just...Hi!..." Then he sighed heavily, "This little yellow croaker is so delicious!

Two months ago, it was all spent.”

At this point, he looked at Wang Ping with a hint of gratitude, "Pingzi, if I hadn't run into you the other day, I might have really starved."

"You're welcome!" Wang Ping said with a smile, "Besides, you exchanged the food with me using your jade ring!"

"That's true!" The second one said, "But no matter how good my jade ring is, someone has to exchange it with me!

If no one replaces me, won’t I go hungry?”

At this point, he pointed to the four side rooms and said, "These four side rooms, one is for porcelain, one is for calligraphy and paintings, one is for old books, and the last one is for snuff bottles, jade and other miscellaneous items.

There were four rooms and more than a thousand items, but the two of us went through them all in just six or seven days.

And ah! ... Pingzi, you still remember it all in your mind.

Amazing, really amazing...

When the Qing Dynasty was still in existence, with your memory, Pingzi, if you had gone to school, you would have definitely passed the imperial examination and won first place!"

Wang Ping smiled and said nothing in response to the second man's praise.

He also felt strange...

Since his rebirth, he found that his hearing and vision had become much stronger.

In the past few days, he followed Na Er and learned how to recognize and identify antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade artifacts, ancient books, etc., which made him discover that his memory was also abnormally strong.

Not only can he remember what he hears, but he can also remember what he sees.

The room of ancient books in the second family had some out-of-print and rare books before the Song Dynasty. He just flipped through them and found...

Whatever his eyes passed over was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Moreover, he also found that his strength seemed to have become much greater.

The porcelain, calligraphy and paintings of the two families were all placed in boxes.

If you want to taste and appreciate these things, you have to take the boxes out of the house.

After finishing, it has to be carried in again.

It would be fine if the box was small, but some of the porcelain, especially two large wide-mouthed vases from the Song Dynasty, were packed in two large wooden boxes that were more than 1.5 meters high.

Including the box and the vase, it weighed more than two hundred kilograms.

As a result, Wang Ping held the body with both hands and lifted it out easily.

There is also a large jar in the Liang Palace during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It is said that it was a reward from the palace to the generation of my second grandfather's grandfather.

The weight of this jar itself is nearly three hundred kilograms.

If we add the specially made mahogany box that is placed outside the jar, the total weight must be more than 500 kilograms.

As a result, Wang Ping put on a thick hemp rope and carried him out of the house easily.

......

Seeing Wang Ping suddenly start to daze, the second one coughed dryly and called out hesitantly, "Pingzi..."

"Uh!..." Wang Ping came back to his senses.

Seeing that the two were hesitant to speak, he hurriedly said, "Old Na, if you have anything to say, just say it!

There is no need for this between the two of us."

"Okay!" Na Er nodded and looked at Wang Ping hopefully, "Pingzi, I think it's easy for you to get food.

Um!...

How much food can you get at most?"

"hiss!..."

Wang Ping gasped at those words.

He frowned slightly, and in the look he gave the second man, besides confusion, there was also a hint of vigilance.

The second one also reacted quickly.

He immediately waved his hands and began to explain.

"Pingzi, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else!"

"I...I was just thinking..."

"If you can get a lot of food, I will replace everything in these four rooms at once."

"Changed them all at once?" Wang Ping looked at the two in surprise.

“Yes!” Na Er nodded, “In my whole life, I have never suffered any hardship.

I can't bear hardship either!

I can't even bear the hardship, let alone hunger.

We exchange ten or twenty kilograms of food each time, although it is a long-term thing, but I am afraid!

If you can't help me anytime, I'll starve.

If you don’t provide me with any help for a month, I will starve to death.”

"Hiss!..." Wang Ping took another breath.

He looked at the second one and asked doubtfully, "Old Na, what do you mean...

Use all you have to exchange for enough food at once?"

"Yes!..." The second man responded and smiled slightly at himself.

“It’s rare to live to be seventy!”

"My second son is already seventy-two this year."

"I may not live for many more years."

"I estimate that the food I exchanged for these four rooms should be enough for me to eat until the day I die."

"Anyway, I don't have any children!"

"I can live my life comfortably using the things passed down by my ancestors, so I am not losing out."

After saying this, he looked at Wang Ping hopefully, waiting for his reply.

"Hmm!" Wang Ping hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Old Na, even if I give you so much food, if you keep sending it out like you did a few days ago, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it for a few days!"

Wang Ping's words shocked the other man, and he asked with shining eyes, "Pingzi, can you really get so much food?"

Wang Ping smiled and did not answer the second one directly.

He just looked at the two quietly.

What I mean is...you answer my question first.
