He knew that Yang Ming was comforting him, but this concern made him feel warm.

Just then, Chen Xueru also walked in.

She was Yang Ming's friend and a caring person in this alley. She saw Pian'erye and Yang Ming chatting, so she came over.

The three of them sat together and began to discuss the price of the yard.

Pianerye said: "Although this yard is a bit old, it has a good location and good feng shui. I originally planned to sell it for a high price, but in today's world..." He sighed and said nothing more.

Yang Ming and Chen Xueru both understood what he meant. They knew that this yard was not just a property for Pian Ye, but also a witness to the glory and history of his family.

Yang Ming said: "Pian'erye, we all know the value of your yard.

But the world is tough now, and we can't let you suffer. How about this, we give you a fair price, what do you think?" Pianerye nodded in agreement.

Just like that, amidst a lot of business flattery and price negotiations, the three reached a consensus.

Although Pianerye was reluctant, he knew that it was for the future of his family and his sister's livelihood.

Yang Ming and Chen Xueru also understood that they bought this yard not only for investment, but also to pass on the history and culture of this land.

"Pian'erye, are you home?" It was Chen Xueru's voice. She was a shrewd and capable businessman, and she came here today specifically to discuss the sale of this yard.

"Hey, here I come." Pianerye opened the door and greeted them warmly. The two walked into the yard, and Chen Xueru looked around, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

"This yard is nice. How much do you plan to sell it for?" Chen Xueru said straight to the point.

"One hundred thousand yuan, a fair price." Pianerye held up five fingers, his tone firm.

Chen Xueru frowned, "One hundred thousand? This price is not low. You know, there are not many people in the city who can afford one hundred thousand yuan. Even if there are, they may not dare to buy it."

Pianerye sighed and nodded, "You are right, but my yard is in a good location and spacious, so the price is reasonable."

The two of them went back and forth, and after some bargaining, Chen Xueru proposed a price of 80,000 yuan.

"Pianerye, what do you think about 80,000? I really want it too." Chen Xueru asked tentatively.

Pian Ye was silent for a moment and shook his head. "Eighty thousand is too low. My yard is worth this price."

At this moment, Yang Ming walked into the yard. He was a friend of the two and a celebrity in this area.

"Hey, are you two here discussing business?" Yang Ming greeted with a smile.

Seeing this, Pianerye quickly explained the situation. After listening, Yang Ming pondered for a moment, then turned to Chen Xueru.

"Xue Ru, I think fifty thousand yuan is enough for this yard. It's not easy for Pian Ye either, so just give it to him."

Yang Ming opened his mouth to persuade Si.

Chen Xueru looked at Yang Ming, then at Pian'erye, and finally nodded, "Okay, then fifty thousand yuan."

When Pianye heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face, "Okay! It's settled then!" He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Xueru, and the deal was considered done.

After the transaction was completed, Pian'erye was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He didn't expect that the yard could be sold so smoothly, and the price was not bad. He calculated that this "217" 50,000 yuan was a huge sum of money in the 1970s! He felt that he had become a millionaire all of a sudden!

"Yang Ming, your friend has really helped me a lot!" Pianerye said to Yang Ming gratefully.

Yang Ming waved his hands, "No, no, we are all friends. But coming to the point, you are selling this yard at such a low price, is there any hidden reason?" he asked curiously.

Pian'er Ye was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "What's the secret? I just want to make a fortune somewhere else. Besides, although this yard is good, it doesn't have to be sold."

Yang Ming nodded, "That's good. But then again, there aren't many people who can afford 50,000 yuan to buy a courtyard house. Who are you, the buyer?"

Pianerye shook his head, "I don't know either. But judging from her appearance, she should be a rich person." He paused and added, "But then again, we are all friends, and I won't delve into these things. As long as this yard can be sold, that's all."

After hearing this, Yang Ming stopped asking questions. He knew how Pian'erye dealt with people, so he didn't say anything more.

"Mr. Pianer, I'll take this yard for 50,000 yuan." Chen Xueru spoke with a firm tone.

Pianerye narrowed his eyes, looked at Chen Xueru, and said with a smile: "Oh, girl, this price is not low. However, you have to keep the furniture in this yard."

Chen Xueru looked around. Although the furniture was old, it was obvious that they were all quite old. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep the furniture, but you have to let me pick one to take away."

Pianerye was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud: "Okay, you choose."

Chen Xueru's eyes swept across the yard and finally stopped at the pair of official hat chairs. She walked over and gently stroked the backs of the chairs, as if she could feel the traces of time.

"I want this pair of official hat chairs."

Pian'erye's face changed, but he immediately regained his composure: "Girl, you really know how to choose. This official hat chair is the most valuable item in this yard."

Chen Xueru smiled slightly: "I know, but I just like this pair of chairs."

Pianerye sighed and shook his head: "Okay, you can take it. But you have to leave something for me."

"What to leave?" Chen Xueru asked.

"You have to leave one of the pair of official hat chairs for me." Pianerye pointed to the chairs.

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Pian'erye meant. Although this pair of official hat chairs was old, they were indeed antiques and worth a lot of money. She nodded, which was considered as her agreement.

After the transaction was completed, Chen Xueru left the courtyard. She walked in the alley with mixed feelings. This pair of official hat chairs was not just an antique to her, but also the beginning of a story.

"Mr. Guan, your chess skills have deteriorated." Someone nearby joked.

Grandpa Guan snorted and said nothing. He boasted that he was an excellent chess player and had defeated all the opponents in Zhengyangmen. But since he met Yang Ming, he had been defeated repeatedly, which made him very confused.

"One more round!" Grandpa Guan shouted unwillingly.

Yang Ming smiled and set up the chess pieces. This time, he still didn't beat Grandpa Guan, but he didn't let him win too easily. Although Grandpa Guan lost the game, he felt very happy. He realized that Yang Ming was deliberately letting him win so that he had a chance to win.

"Young man, your chess skills are really good." Grandpa Guan exclaimed.
