Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

The next day.

Early morning.

When Lin Shaowen got up, he felt some pain in his waist for the first time.

Yesterday, Qin Huairu was like crazy, tossing and turning from 8 o'clock in the evening to the early morning. Such intensity really made him a little overwhelmed.

He was about to get up, but was hugged by Qin Huairu.

"What are you doing so early?"

"Going to work, Miss." Lin Shaowen said helplessly.

"Today is the weekend, what kind of work do you go to?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "Shaowen, I want..."

"Don't think about anything."

Lin Shaowen quickly got up and ran out the door without looking back.

Qin Huairu rubbed her belly. She was several years older than Lin Shaowen. If she didn't give birth to another child now, she might not have a chance in the future.

West Wing Courtyard.

As soon as Lin Shaowen rushed out, he saw Gu Huaiwei squatting in the garden shoveling soil.

"Well, why are you here?"

"It's the weekend."

Gu Huaiwei pouted and said, "How long have you not taken care of these flowers? The soil is as hard as stone..."

"Aren't the flowers growing well?"

Lin Shaowen laughed and walked into the bathroom.

Gu Huaiwei took a look, as if she thought of something, and her pretty face immediately became pink.

At this time, Qin Huairu also came out with Lin Shaowen's change of clothes. When she saw her, she smiled and greeted her.

"Good morning, Weiwei."

"Good morning."

Gu Huaiwei smiled and nodded, and continued to loosen the soil for the flowers.

Half an hour later.

Study.

"Wow, there are dumplings to eat today." He Yushui said happily.

"You only know how to eat." Su Xiu scolded with a smile, "When making dumplings, you and Qiuye hid in the basement to play games, you are really amazing..."

"Basement?"

Gu Huaiwei was surprised, "The street office's record didn't say that your house has a basement."

"Didn't it have one before?" Qin Jingru was surprised.

"It's probably Shao Wen who asked someone to do it." Qin Huairu scolded, "When it comes to enjoyment, our man is the best in the city..."

"Sister Qin, you are hedonistic, which is not good." Lin Shaowen laughed.

"Go away, you are still "hedonistic." Gu Huaiwei scolded, "Who has a refrigerator or an induction cooker? And the furniture in your study is all made of golden nanmu, aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"

"Well, is golden nanmu furniture not good?" Su Xiu said nervously.

"You are just listening to her nonsense." Lin Shaowen chuckled, "Golden nanmu is indeed used more for coffins, but the Forbidden City knows it, right? In the past, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty used golden nanmu pillars to build the main hall..."

"Then why don't you explain that Chengzu's Changling was also built with golden nanmu?"

Gu Huaiwei rolled her eyes.

"Shaowen..."

Qin Huairu was a little uneasy.

"Don't listen to her nonsense."

Lin Shaowen laughed, "It's true that golden nanmu is used to build tombs, but it doesn't say that golden nanmu can't be used to make furniture. Although nanmu is precious, it's just wood."

"That's right."

Gu Huaiwei nodded with a smile.

"Weiwei, you scared me to death." Su Xiu scolded.

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Dingdang!

The bells under the eaves rang.

"Well, someone knocked on the door?"

Gu Huaiwei was about to get up, but was stopped by Qin Huairu.

"You eat first, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, Qin Huairu walked out.

After a while, three old men came in.

"Master Lin, are you eating? I'm so presumptuous to come here."

The little old man in the lead laughed.

"Uncle Fugui, you are too polite."

Lin Shaowen stood up and greeted, "Come in and sit down."

"Yeah."

After Li Fugui responded, he took the two old men into the study.

But as soon as they came in, the three of them were all surprised.

"Wow, Master Lin's house is so magnificent, the furniture is all made of golden nanmu." An old man was stunned.

"What are these two people's names?"

Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and smoked it.

"The tall one is Bedford, and the short one is Zhang Chunrong."

After Li Fugui finished the introduction, he glanced at the group of women sitting at the table to eat.

"Uncle Fugui, they are all my family. If you have something to say, just say it." Lin Shaowen waved his hand.

"Master Lin, you are this..."

Bedford was amazed, "I thought that after liberation, China could not produce nobles. You really broadened my horizons."

"That's right."

Zhang Chunrong also shook his head, "Master Lin's style is the best in the four-nine cities."

"You three are flattering."

Lin Shaowen chuckled, "Uncle Fugui, let's get straight to the point."

This is how the old Beijing people are. They come for a long time and greet each other first, but never talk about business.

""Hey." Li Fugui responded and took out a wooden box from his pocket and placed it on the table, "Master Lin, you let me have a boy in one go, this is to thank you." "You're welcome." Lin Shaowen smiled and opened the wooden box. "Ah..." Gu Huaiwei just exclaimed and was covered by Qin Huairu. Five large yellow croakers were neatly placed in the wooden box. Judging from the thickness of the box, there was probably another layer underneath, which meant ten pieces. "Uncle Fugui, your gift is not light." Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "It is said that no one comes to the temple for no reason. If you have something to say, just say it..." "Master Lin is a quick-witted person." Li Fugui raised his thumb and pointed at Bedford, "Master Lin, to be honest, my old friend has some health problems. Can you take a look?" "Okay, sit on the couch. "

Lin Shaowen made an invitation gesture to Beiford, and then turned his head and shouted, "Jingru, put the things away. Huairu, serve tea to the three of you..."

"Hey."

Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu responded at the same time, one took the box away, and the other ran out.

Su Xiu saw this and ran out to help.

Lin Shaowen tapped Beiford's pulse, but as soon as he touched it, his pupils contracted violently, "Baiye, are you from the palace?"

"Palace?"

Qin Jingru and others all widened their eyes.

This old man has fair skin, although there are some wrinkles, but every move is a bit charming. Could he really be a eunuch?

"Master Lin, you are this."

Beiford gave a thumbs up and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, my ancestors were all from the palace. Two people were selected from each generation to enter the palace. I am unlucky..."

"Hey, Beiye, you can't say that. "Lin Shaowen said seriously, "Now is the time for the people to be in charge, this is a good day."

Pa!

Befford raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, smiling, "Master Lin is right, now is a good day that only comes once in a thousand years, and no one in our clan will suffer the same punishment as me again."

"Everyone, please have tea."

Qin Huairu brought a tray and served hot tea to the three of them.

Zhang Chunrong's face changed drastically after a slight sniff.

"Master Lin, is this from the mother tree?"

"Yes."

Lin Shaowen nodded with a wry smile, "To be honest, this is what my ex-wife left behind..."

"Master Lin, your ex-wife is..." Befford hesitated.

"Her surname is Lou... You should have heard of her father, named Lou Bancheng."

Lin Shaowen sighed.
