Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

In front of the living room door, Zhang Zhenqian bent down and asked Zhang Baiqi in a low voice: "Father, I'll go see how the banquet is prepared."

Zhang Baiqi glanced sideways, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and nodded slightly: "Go!"

"Uncle San, please sit down for a moment. I'll leave you now." Zhang Zhenqian stood up and turned his gaze to Zhang Baishu with a respectful tone.

Zhang Baishu turned his head, smiled kindly, and nodded slightly.

Everyone entered the antique living room. Zhang Baiqi carefully helped Zhang Baishu sit in the main seat, while he sat beside him.

He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on He Yuzhu and the other two, and greeted them warmly: "Zhuzi, don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own home."

"Thank you, uncle-master." He Yuzhu bowed to Zhang Baiqi and sat on the chair below Zhang Baishu.

As soon as we sat down, a servant brought us fragrant tea.

"Third brother, the banquet will be ready soon. After the meal, you go and have a rest first, and we'll talk tomorrow." Zhang Baiqi put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Zhang Baishu on the side.

Zhang Baishu drank a sip of tea, felt a little better, and nodded slowly.

Zhang Baiqi's face was filled with smiles, and he continued, "Third brother, I have renovated the yard where you used to live. You can still live there from now on."

Having said that, his eyes inadvertently swept over Chen Xueru.

"Speaking of this, I really have to thank the girl from the Chen family." Zhang Baiqi said with emotion, "When she came to deliver the letter, I couldn't believe it."

Chen Xueru smiled slightly and put down the teacup: "Seventh Master, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

Zhang Baiqi laughed loudly: "Okay, I have decided on you as my niece's wife. Let's have dinner together later so that everyone can get to know you."

Zhang Baishu sat at the head of the group, smiling: "Seventh brother, when I first saw her, I was also surprised. My disciple actually found Chen Boting's daughter. This is the fate God has given us."

"Yes, otherwise I would not know your news." Zhang Baiqi also sighed, "By the way, girl, I heard that your father wanted to cooperate with the Hou family, but he didn't arrange for you, right?"

Chen Xueru glanced at He Yuzhu and saw that he only had a smile on his face, so she felt relieved: "Seventh Master, I have been hiding for the past few months, waiting for Brother Zhuzi to come."

"Okay, just let me know if you need any help in the future. We in the Zhang family recognize you." Zhang Baiqi made a promise.

Zhang Baishu thought about how Chen Xueru had been bearing the pressure at home for the past few months just to wait for them to come, and he felt even more satisfied with her.

"That's right, Xiao Chen. Now that we are here, let Zhuzi handle these matters."

When Chen Xueru heard the two elders say this, and thought about how she had been hiding from Hou Jiacheng for the past few months, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She looked at He Yuzhu lovingly, her eyes full of love.

The two men's eyes met, and He Yuzhu returned a firm look with a gentle smile.

"Master, uncle, please rest assured. I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. I will definitely resolve it and then take Xueru back to Sijiu City." He Yuzhu said to the two elders with a smile.

Zhang Baiqi stared at He Yuzhu who was sitting steadily. Although he had no idea what he was up to, his strong spirit was impressive.

If he looks timid, what can we expect him to do?

He was thinking about how to cover for He Yuzhu. After all, although the words sounded nice, what if the thing didn't get done?

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, approaching from afar. Zhang Xingbang walked into the living room and bowed slightly: "Third Grandpa, Grandpa, please move aside, and prepare for dinner."

Zhang Baiqi smiled at Zhang Xingbang as a response, and looked at Zhang Baishu sideways: "Third brother, let's go!"

Seeing him nod in agreement, he stood up, helped Zhang Baishu up, and walked out.

He Yuzhu and others followed behind him and headed towards the side courtyard.

At the same time, in front of a house in Suzhou City, a man came hurriedly on a bicycle.

He stopped the car in a hurry, without even bothering to lock it, and rushed into the yard.

"Brother Wu, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry?" the doorman shouted curiously.

Huang Wu waved his hand without even turning his head, and said, "Xiao Liu, it would be great if you could bring the car in. This is an important matter for the young master."

"Okay, Brother Wu, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Xiaoliu responded with a smile on his face.

Huang Wu had no time to care about his response and trotted straight to Hou Jiacheng's yard.

Xiao Liu looked at Huang Wu's hurried back, curled his lips in disdain, and muttered, "Why are you so proud?"

After muttering to himself, he still walked obediently to the bicycle, picked it up from the ground, and moved it into the gate and put it away.

After finishing it, he clapped his hands, hummed a tune and walked back to the gatehouse leisurely.

Huang Wu hurried along the way, secretly pondering the gains from today's tracking. He thought that the young master would probably give him a lot of reward.

He hurriedly crossed the yard and entered the hall. He was about to start reporting, but the scene before him made him lower his head and quickly retreat outside the door to wait.

After a noise in the room, Huang Wu lowered his head and saw a pair of embroidered shoes passing by.

He heaved a sigh of relief and said loudly, "Master, I have something important to report."

"Come in." Hou Jiacheng's voice came from inside the room.

Huang Wu walked into the hall and bowed, "Hello, Master!"

Hou Jiacheng looked at Huang Wu, who was sweating profusely, and knew that he must have rushed back from outside.

Thinking about what happened just now and being caught by Huang Wu, he pretended to be calm and coughed lightly: "Okay, sit down first. Speak slowly."

"Thank you, young master." Huang Wu stood up straight, half sitting on the chair, looking up at Hou Jiacheng.

He collected his thoughts, forgot what he had just seen, and pretended nothing had happened.

Hou Jiacheng put down the teacup in his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Did you find anything when you followed him today?"

"Young Master, this is why I rushed back so quickly." Huang Wu paused and glanced at Hou Jiacheng.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued hesitantly, "Today, Miss Chen went to the train station. I followed her and saw her picking up the man named He at the station."

"The one in Sijiu City?" Hou Jiacheng's mind raced, and he thought of He Yuzhu, and hurriedly confirmed.

Huang Wu nodded and confirmed that it was He Yuzhu who came to Suzhou from Sijiu City.

When Hou Jiacheng saw him nod, his face suddenly darkened and he was furious.

In the past few months, he had repeatedly tried to show his favor to Chen Xueru, but was repeatedly frustrated. Now, when he heard that she was going to pick up He Yuzhu in the hot summer, he was furious.

He slammed the coffee table hard, and a loud bang echoed in the hall: "Fuck, this is too much!"

Huang Wu was also frightened by his rage. He jumped up from his chair and looked at Hou Jiacheng with a nervous face.
