Rebirth in the leisurely life of the red age

Only those who understand can appreciate the beauty of courtyard houses.

Otherwise, what's the difference between it and the house of a rich man in western Shanxi?

Take the gate of a courtyard, for example. Generally, the gates of courtyards are mostly Ruyi Gate or Manzi Gate, which is really not good.

So many people heard that courtyard houses are often very expensive, and they felt that they were high-end. When they went there to take a look, they found that this gate was so rustic, and it was not as good-looking as the gate of Evergrande.

But there is actually a lot of knowledge in it. If you can pay attention to the details, a palace-level courtyard, if you study it carefully, will be enough to entertain you for several years.

For example, the main door of Li's house is five rooms wide. If you put it through, it will be the size of a prince.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, there were few such gates.

The space between the two pillars is called a room. The prince's palace is five rooms wide, and the prince's palace is three rooms wide.

The carved beams and painted buildings on top are called forehead squares, with a bird on each side. The carvings are exquisite, and there is nothing wrong with them.

As for Menduner, civil servants use a square shape, which means a book box, and military officers use a round shape, which means a war drum. There is no need to say more.

Steps must be in odd numbers, odd numbers are yang, and even numbers are yin.

When everyone enters, they are faced with a green screen door, which is similar to a screen, like a screen wall.

The ancients valued subtle beauty and were most taboo about being able to see into the courtyard as soon as they opened the door, so the green screen door served to block evil spirits.

The green screen door will only be opened when there are weddings or weddings, or when the emperor comes.

Of course, the main door is rarely opened on weekdays, and all entrances and exits are through the corner door.

I guess I have been studying the rule of the country for a long time. As I walked inside, I explained it to the whole family.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Zhi Guo, has your mother been here?"

Zhiguo shook his head and said, "Mommy, my current status is not suitable for me to come here."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Come quietly, isn't there an underground garage?"

Zhiguo chuckled and said: "There were many people here before. Professors from Huaqing Academy of Fine Arts are almost living there, and there are many students, but my mother didn't come. There will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Lou Xiu asked: "Are you in the capital now?"

Zhiguo nodded and said: "We are in a meeting." He said to Li Yuan helplessly: "After the disarmament, the superiors decided to further relax and allow soldiers to do business... Mom has not been in a good mood these days."

Li Yuan heard this and said: "It may be a not-so-splendid chess move, but there is nothing we can do about it."

This year's military expenditure is 5.6 billion U.S. dollars. There are 4.3 million people in the army, and we cannot guarantee three meals a day.

If that number isn't clear, another number will make it clear.

This year's military budget for the Gulf is 9.8 billion US dollars, and Japan's is 24 billion US dollars...

Later generations scolded him a lot, but in the end it was just that people were poor and had short ambitions, while horses were thin and hairy.

History is still the same history.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Once we are back, her mood will naturally get better."

Everyone laughed and continued to visit.

Entering the main courtyard, you can see a bright and clean window. The Lion Court is named after the stone lions in the courtyard.

Different from the messy mess that I saw last time, now it is extremely orderly.

Even the floor tiles have exquisite carvings.

The second entrance is to the main hall. The wide blue and white stone platform in front of the hall is five steps above the ground.

There is a Danbi Bridge connecting the platform to the gate.

Li Yuan carried his mother on his back, Zhiguo carried his grandfather on his back, and climbed up the stone steps.

The main hall is seven rooms wide, with green glazed tiles on the top of the mountain and bright colors.

There are two two-story wings on the east and west sides. The entire main hall courtyard is tall and magnificent, showing the prince's dignity and majesty.

After walking around the main hall, Li Yuan sent the old lady to the king's chair on the high platform in front of the hall, asked Zhi Guo to carry his grandfather on his back, and then took a picture of the old couple.

The elder sister-in-law also asked everyone to kowtow to the old prince and the old princess, but she refused to kowtow and said that she was the general manager of the palace, which made me laugh to death.

Further back, there are the Second Palace Gate Courtyard, the Sleeping Hall Courtyard and the Back Cover Tower Courtyard.

"Youngest, who is bigger between you and the prince now?"

Mother Li was probably a little dizzy and her head was dizzy. She lay on her son's back and asked.

Everyone around laughed.

Li Yuan was not afraid of jokes and said seriously: "Mom, power is hard to say. But it is more than money. In the two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, all the princes together had less money than I have in my pocket."

Mother Li was extremely happy and said, "Really?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Of course!"

Mother Li gently touched her son's head and said, "My youngest is really promising. After suffering so much, he finally got through it..."

Several other Li brothers shook their heads and smiled bitterly, especially those who had been to Hong Kong Island.

They saw with their own eyes what kind of life Li Yuan lived...

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a god.

Of course, they are very happy that their youngest can live a good life, not to mention that it has brought the whole family together.

After going around in a circle and returning, Li Gui got off Zhiguo's back and said to Li Yuan: "We have just walked back and forth, and we have almost walked two miles."

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Three hundred meters back and forth, more than a mile back and forth."

Li Chi might have been happy to see Li Yuan's house. He said with a smile: "The straight-line distance is more than a mile, and you have to go around in a circle to go back and forth. This is just walking without looking at the house carefully. Look at the house again, isn't it? Two miles of land? This guy really can’t be lived in by ordinary people.”

Li Yuan said: "You guys can stay here and visit a courtyard in three days. After living here for a month, you'll get used to it and you'll be done shopping."

Zhiguo also smiled and said: "I'm tired of walking around the middle road courtyard, climbing up and down, because it is a ceremonial courtyard, it is used for sacrifices, weddings and funerals, and the gates are usually not open. But the east road and the west road are better Ah, there is also a special movie theater. I will get you whatever movies you want to watch. There is also an indoor swimming pool built in the West Road Courtyard, where you can swim. There is a large flower house in the East Road Courtyard. There are all kinds of beautiful flowers inside.”

Li Yuan asked in surprise: "Who will take care of these?"

Zhiguo smiled and said: "There are guards in Haizi who have retreated. I found a way to hire six of them. Because there are six doors in total including the corner door, side door, and back door. My eldest brother sent someone to install a security monitoring system. The closed-circuit television surveillance system, CCTV, works very well. Their wives are also invited to come over and do general cleaning once a week. In fact, they can’t spare a day, because the yard is so big. There are so many people entering the yard, cleaning every day, and working all week Six days, just finished."

Li Yuandao: "Why didn't you see it today?"

Zhiguo smiled and said, "I will start working officially next month."

What Lou Xiao'e is concerned about is: "Do you have money to pay for the country's governance?"

Zhiguo smiled and said, "Yes. Mommy, eldest brother often sends me money and calls me to care about me."

Lou Xiao'e laughed in shock and said, "Your elder brother never told me!"

Zhiguo said with a smile: "Apart from the inconvenience for the second brother to be in the United States, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother, and the seventh brother all work one hour at a time. If the eldest brother doesn't support me, I can't even pay the phone bill."

Even answering the phone now costs money.

Lou Xiao'e laughed angrily and said, "Well! You brothers and sisters have all grown up and become close to each other, but we have become outsiders?! The adults don't know anything!"

Zhiguo chuckled, while Lou Xiu asked with concern: "Where are Xiaoba and Xiaojiu? Have they called you?"

Zhiguo smiled and said, "I'll beat them."

Li Chi nodded in praise and said, "As an elder brother, you should care about the younger ones."

Li Yuan reminded: "You still have to stay simple and low-key in life."

Zhiguo smiled and said, "That's for sure. I rarely come here. When I do, I enter through the garage."

The eldest sister-in-law was dissatisfied: "You are earning foreign money openly, what are you afraid of?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "If Kun'er and the others live in such a good place, the letterbox will be filled with reports. Since you have chosen this path, don't think about glory and wealth, just devote yourself to it."

Lou Xiu didn't give up, and advised Zhi Guozhi: "Come back to Hong Kong Island with us. Look at the life your mother is living. She is exhausted and has endless worries. It's inappropriate for you to leave a good young man from a rich family and suffer this." What are you doing? Go back to Hong Kong Island, my eldest mother will buy you a nice car to drive, and take the pretty girl for a ride, okay?"

Everyone around laughed, Zhiguo scratched his head and said, "Big Mom, I mainly want to make the mainland as wealthy as Hong Kong Island."

Lou Xiu had no choice, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Let's go, let's go to the East Road Courtyard and the West Road Courtyard again!"

With that said, he carried Mother Li on his back and walked away from the Lion Court.

Zhiguo also wanted to carry Li Gui on his back, but Li Gui refused: "The ground on both sides is flat, so there is no need to carry it. It's okay, let's go."

…

"Tsk, tsk, why does it look more elegant than our manor?"

Lou Xiao'e started to like it while shopping and praised it.

The group of people walked to a pavilion and sat down. A flower garden was opened next to it, with autumn peonies, asters, pearl plums and crape myrtles in full bloom.

Li Yuan used the cattail leaf fan brought by his fourth sister-in-law to fan Li's mother and said with a smile: "In ancient times, young ladies from wealthy families never left the front door and never stepped out. But they had to make the garden more exquisite so that they could be enclosed in it. . In fact, no matter how exquisite it is, it will just look like that after half a month. So if you want to live in such a big courtyard, you have to recruit another one or two hundred maids and nuns. You have to intrigue and intrigue, so that your life can be exciting and lively without being boring. "

Everyone laughed, and Li Gui asked Li Yuan: "You don't live in such a big yard all the time, so it's just empty?"

Li Yuan said: "Let's live here. Why don't we live here? I will come back to live for a while every year in the future. Besides, I have to find a place where the children can get together when they come back for the New Year. In the past few years, we couldn't live together at night when we came back. It's not okay to stay at a neighbor's house. Besides, I also like the culture in this yard."

Zhiguo smiled and said, "I like it too, Chinese studies."

Li Yuan mocked unceremoniously: "You like the study of emperors, it's two different things."

Zhiguo Hehe Zhile finally understood what his eldest brother Li Xing complained to him that his father's love would disappear when he grew up.

Seeing his father's eyebrows raised, Zhiguo hurriedly said: "Dad, how about we just arrange the third brother's wedding here? Have a Chinese-style wedding."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "We have to consider the woman's family. She was originally a widowed girl who raised an orphan girl single-handedly. She is about to be sent out, and she is not in a good mood. She is even more nervous and sad when she is in a foreign land. .”

The second sister-in-law praised Lou Xiao'e: "My brother-in-law is still so caring."

Lou Xiao'e glanced at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "He is just kind."

Li Gui asked about the way of governing the country: "After everything has been repaired, how many rooms are there in total?"

Zhiguo smiled and said: "The old prince's mansion is much bigger than Prince Gong's mansion. Prince Gong's mansion is famous for its ninety-nine and a half rooms. After the renovation, this Jiuye mansion has one hundred and fifty-eight rooms."

Li Yuandao: "We'll all stay here today and set off some fireworks tonight. Call Datang Restaurant to send two master chefs over to bring the food and ingredients and cook a good meal."

Li Jiang joked: "Youngest, you don't want to cook now?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Someone will definitely come to see you soon and want to talk about something."

…

Someone is indeed looking for...

Looking at Mei Changning, who had lost a lot of weight, Li Yuan said with some admiration: "You are really playing hard with your life."

One million. When future generations look at this period of history, they actually don’t feel that much.

Until I watched a drama, the reorganization of Steel Company 7 in "Soldier Assault".

That's just reorganization, the unit numbers are still there, most of the soldiers have gone to other companies, it's not a disarmament.

Just like that, the entire regiment felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and were under great pressure. Everyone in the Seventh Company was holding fire in their hearts.

At that time, more than half a century had passed since the end of the war.

There are not many veterans left who survived the war...

But what is to be abolished now is a million troops, and there are even some heroic troops who have just defeated the Annan Japs.

Many of the founders of these forces are still alive.

One can imagine how difficult it is, how much pressure there is, and how much resistance there is.

Mei Changning was not even in the mood to admire this magnificent new palace. She slumped down on the chair undignifiedly, breathing heavily.

When Li Yuan saw this, his expression became slightly serious. After Zhi Guo brought tea, he poured a bowl of tea for Mei Changning himself.

After Mei Changning took a sip, Li Yuancai said leisurely: "I won't ask if you can't tell me, and you don't want to tell me either. Just tell me what you want to see me for... tell me in advance, do you want money?"

It's not that he is stingy, he even knows that providing help in times of need at this time can gain leverage for Daxue and even the governance of the country.

But the Li family had already provided support last time, and it was a loan in the name of funding industrial construction.

If they directly support the military banner this time, then the Li family of the Tang Dynasty will no longer want to introduce any advanced technology and equipment to the West, especially three years later.

The Li family is good, the heavy snow and the ability to govern the country are better.

Rather than heavy snow and good governance, the Li family is better.

If this order of priority is reversed, the Li family will have a big problem.

Mei Changning choked, looked up at the carved beams and painted buildings, sighed and said, "How about some cooperation projects?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Let's do it with China Resources."

Mei Changning laughed angrily and said: "It's not like you. You want to build a firewall to isolate yourself. The richer you are, the more timid you become?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "The Li family will not participate in things that should not be involved."

Mei Changning said helplessly: "Don't you think about your wife and son? Can I harm you?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "There are not many people in the world who have better conditions than them. Let me lay everything for him, and send an adou up? Should he go his own way, or let him go on his own."

Daxue’s position does not require the support of carrying a gun. As for governing the country... forty or fifty years later, the current love affair will be of no use!

Mei Changning had no choice but to nod: "Okay, you've said so, what else can I say? Capitalists..."

Li Yuan laughed and scolded: "You got a bargain but you behaved so well! How many cooperation projects does Datang and China Resources have? Pick some up and cooperate with them, and the framework is set up. Besides, why are you here pretending to be miserable at this time? The most difficult thing is The time has passed long ago. Now the number of people is reduced by one million. How much equipment is freed up and sold, you can make a fortune in silence!"

Mei Changning touched his bald head and said with a smile: "What's going on? I've become an old fox. Well, I just heard that you're back. It's so fun to travel around. I've been playing for a few months. Come over and see you play. How's your son doing?"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "That's more or less the same. Let me tell you, the motherland has great rivers and mountains, good mountains, good waters and good scenery. I had a great time!"

Mei Changning was also happy: "You have killed a lot of people along the way."

Li Yuan said helplessly: "Most of the people are honest and honest, but there are also a lot of unscrupulous people. Half of the village was dispatched to stop cars, and they even brought trolls. I wonder, doesn't the local government know about these things? Or should I turn a blind eye? Close one eye?"

Mei Changning waved his hand and said, "No, no, no."

Li Yuan laughed and scolded: "It's not a big deal! I'm afraid of making a big case and causing trouble. It's better to have one less problem than one more thing. But in general, it's still a minority, and it may have only been two years since the crackdown. Is there anything else? Is everything okay? I’m just seeing the guests off, my father and mother are waiting in the east.”

Mei Changning cursed and left with a smile. Before going out, Li Yuan also picked up a pack of Ginseng Yangrong Pills from somewhere and said to the guy who was walking slower and slower: "This is for the old lady, you can also take it." a little."

Mei Changning immediately turned around and said with a bad smile: "I've been waiting for this. Don't say I got it for nothing. Be careful when entering Haizi this time. Several old comrades are looking for you to settle accounts. Yuanzi, I tell you clearly, Director Qin can’t leave. He will probably take another step up next year, so you don’t have to think about it… Hahaha!”

"Damn it! I won't go if no one asks me this time, let's see what they can do to me!"

"Hahaha! Smart! Remember, kill the military business, don't interfere!"

This is the real reason why Mei Changning came here in a hurry today, not to let him wade into this bottomless muddy water...

…

"Hey, Sister Huizhen, Brother Cai, Brother Zhuzhu, why are you here?"

The chefs of Datang Restaurant arrived. Xu Huizhen, Cai Quanwu and Shazhu came with another master chef. Naturally, Li Yuan wanted to meet his old friend.

The Li family also knew these people, especially Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu.

After seeing each other, Shazhu went to the kitchen with another master chef.

Li's mother said to Li Yuan: "Huizhen and his wife often come to visit us at home, and they always bring some things when they come back."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then we have to invite them to have dinner at home today."

After Xu Huizhen and Lou Xiao'e finished their fun, they said: "Today is really bad! I'm not trying to be polite to you. There are foreign guests coming to the restaurant for dinner tonight. The department above specially said hello, hoping that we can entertain you warmly. Listen. I'm so happy when you come back. It's better to run the country. You called us specifically, otherwise I wouldn't even know when you left!"

Li Yuan looked at his son: "Huh?"

Zhiguo chuckled and said, "I have a surprise for you! Uncle Cai and Aunt Huizhen also told me."

Xu Huizhen praised the governance of the country: "The children are really good, and they don't have the arrogance in their bones. Generally, children don't have arrogance on their faces and are polite, but people can still see the arrogance in their bones." Very, I am afraid that others will get a little bit of it. To govern the country well is not to be polite. You are very good to those children, so be close to us."

Li Yuan attacked his son: "Sister Huizhen, you have not seen through the essence. He is more proud than anyone else, don't be deceived by him!"

Xu Huizhen squinted and said, "Then who is he following?"

Li Yuan: "..."

The whole family laughed.

Nie Yudu said with emotion: "Sister Huizhen, you are the one who knows the right person."

Xu Huizhen came back and said with a smile: "That's the best. Can you really ask your child to be a saint? If he can withstand some setbacks and failures, that would be perfect. He will be no worse than his father in the future."

Li Yuan reminded the state of governance: "If you are not a close relative or an elder who is not sincerely considering you, you will not say this to you."

Zhiguo smiled and said, "I know, my aunt is good to me!"

Xu Huizhen patted Zhiguo on the arm and was about to leave. Li Yuan smiled and said, "You guys should leave first. We will visit you at your home later."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "Then just say hello, but don't fool people again with your lack of effort!"

"Won't!"

Li Yuan assured with a smile.

After saying goodbye to the Li family one by one, Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu left in a hurry.

After the two left, Li Guidu praised: "These two are a good couple, kind and responsible."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "So now he is the general manager and director of Datang Restaurant... Which unit is Li Chang in now?"

Li Chang is nineteen, the youngest son of his second brother Li Jiang.

Those born in the most difficult three years were nineteen, twenty...twenty-three, and Li Xing happened to be twenty-four.

Li Jiang smiled and said: "The Ministry of Justice. The last few are all in the ministries, but the fourth child wrote back and asked them to go down there to practice."

Li Yuan nodded, Li Jiang glanced at the fifth brother, Li Hai, and said with a smile: "How is Shiba now? Your fifth brother is too embarrassed to ask..."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "I don't believe Tang Yuan didn't call you."

Li Hai snorted and said, "Can't he say good things to his brother?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Not really, it really helped Tangyuan a lot. There will be something coming at the 18th meeting. Those who can speak well are born to do this."

loud She is so beautiful, well-informed and courteous, and has a good personality. She studies with the second daughter-in-law every day and can see books in her hands at all times. She is diligent and studious. It is great to find such a daughter-in-law at the age of eighteen!"

Li Yuandao: "You will know it when you come back for the Chinese New Year this year. So people still have to go through setbacks before they can truly grow up."

Lou Xiu was unhappy: "You tell me, why do you always want to govern the country? He came to Hong Kong Island as a baby, and he hasn't suffered yet?"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "What a fool! The whole family is doting on him, and the brothers and sisters also let him. He is talented and everything goes well. The more this happens, the higher the morale will be, and the more people he will receive in the future. When setbacks hit you, it’s easier to get stuck.”

Li Guidao: "That won't happen. My grandson, I know."

Zhiguo chuckled and said: "Grandpa taught me: no matter how poor you are, you can always beg for food. If you don't die, you can always turn around. Dad, don't worry, no matter how much wealth you earn or how high your mother's position rises, it belongs to you and her. My career is not mine. I am just an ordinary student and have not done much. You said that the reason why a bird lands on a thin branch and does not care whether the branch will break is because the bird can take off at any time. I will work hard to improve my abilities."

Li Chi nodded and said, "Father has mother, so it's better to improve yourself." But then again, he said to Li Yuan, "Don't scold your son as soon as we meet him."

Li Yuan smiled and touched his hair and said: "Brother, at this age his mind is the most active. If he moves a little to the left or a little to the right, it will be completely different when he grows up."

He was overjoyed to govern the country and said: "Eldest brother told me that you cleaned him up badly. Dad, don't worry. The next generation may need to pay more attention to it. We brothers all know how difficult it was to get through it back then. We won't Floating."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, just read more and reflect on yourself."

Then he stood up and said to Father Li, Mother Li and others: "I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. That's an old neighbor too."

…

"Brother Zhuzi, I haven't seen you for a while."

After going to the back room, Li Yuan said with a smile as he watched Silly Zhu, who had frost on his temples, shaking the spoon vigorously.

Silly Zhu said "yo", grinning from ear to ear, and said loudly: "Brother, wait a moment, this musu meat will be out of the pot soon! Let's have a good chat!"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, looking at the scale of Shazhu's cooking, he was quite satisfied.

The basic skill of cooking is similar to practicing boxing. If you don't practice it for one day, you will know it. If you don't practice it for two days, your colleagues will know it. If you don't practice it for three days, the whole world will know it.

With his technique, it is obvious that he has not left the stove all year round.

With the salary offered by Datang Restaurant, it would not be a problem for Shazhu to retire or open a restaurant by himself.

Five minutes later, Silly Zhu stopped his hand, with a smile on his black face, and grinned: "Brother, we really see each other once a year! Yes, it's worth seeing you once a year! There are just days when I really miss you. Ah. In the summer evenings, when I drink some wine and squat in front of my house, looking at your house, I sometimes feel that you still live there. Let’s set a table. In fact, it’s not a good dish, but it was really delicious in the world at that time. How about our brother? Just sit there, eat, drink, sing and fight, how beautiful it is! Now, although we have more money and more delicious food, we can never get back the same taste as before..."

Li Yuan thought: "How about you give me all your money, quit your job, and live a hard life for a few more years? Hey, when the time comes, you can cook a table of delicious dishes and the food will be even more delicious!"

Silly Zhu laughed loudly and said: "Forget it then! You are right, they are just hypocritical!"

Li Yuan joked: "Are you looking at my house? Are you looking at the house next door?"

Next door is Jia's house.

Silly Zhu shook his head like a rattle, and the flesh on his face was almost thrown out. He denied repeatedly: "No, no, it's nothing." He paused and chuckled: "You don't know who she likes? Yuan? Son, the world has changed now, otherwise she would definitely be your little wife!"

After speaking, he slapped his mouth again and said apologetically: "This is not what a brother should say. It will not be the same next time, and it will not be the same next time. Yuanzi, there are now twelve Datang Restaurants. Three in Jingcheng, three in Shenghai, and one in Guangdong Three, and three in Pengcheng. The ones in other places are good, and the business is good, but there are a lot of problems in Shenghai, and people are always checking... Manager Xu went to Shenghai seven or eight times in half a year, but it was of little use. Xu The manager refused to tell Zhiguo, saying that Zhiguo was still a child and your daughter-in-law, a high-ranking official, was busy killing bad elements, so she was not allowed to disturb her with such matters..."

Li Yuan said in surprise: "Why don't you contact Hong Kong Island directly?"

Silly Zhu yelled: "How can I do this?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I will solve this matter."

Silly Zhu rubbed his hands and smiled: "Hey! With such a capable brother, my back is straight..."

However, his hand touched the watch on his wrist, and after glancing at it, his expression immediately changed, and he said: "Oh! It's too late, I have to go back quickly. I have a reception tonight, so I can't go on a business trip. Brother, let's get together when we get back. Let’s go back to the courtyard and take a look around, huh?”

While talking, he took off his apron. Just as another master chef finished his work, he praised Li Yuan: "The courtyard of the owner's house is really amazing, an authentic palace. The key is to be meticulous, even the kitchen is far away, and the food boxes for delivering meals are all there." It's ready. I looked at it. It's made of mahogany, authentic lacquerware! There's nothing misleading about it. It's amazing! My boss, the dishes are all put in the food box. There is hot water on the bottom layer of the food box. There is no trace of the food in it. If it gets cold, you can just bring it over at home."

Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to bother you, Master."

As he was going through his pockets to get the money, Silly Zhu laughed and cursed: "Yes, yes, yes! You are doing this to me, this is insulting!"

Another master chef also laughed and said: "The salary given by my boss is the most generous in Sijiu City! It costs money to cook a meal for your family. If word spreads, I will have no shame to do this again. My peers are laughing!"

After Li Yuan shook hands with the two, Zhi Guo happened to come over and asked him to send them out.

…

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

After dinner, Lou Xiao'e looked at the exquisite porcelain bowl with swimming fish pattern in her hand. It looked like a piece of art, and she liked it.

Although the bone china at home is also very beautiful, it is not the same beauty at all as this kind of Chinese-style porcelain.

Bone china is a gorgeous and bright beauty. This kind of traditional Chinese-style porcelain bowl, even if it is bright in color, is also a kind of spiritual beauty of ink with great charm.

The elder sister-in-law said with a smile: "I am a little nervous when eating here. I have to hold my rice bowl tightly with my hands. If I drop one, the whole field will be white for a year!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Isn't that easy? Just ask Zhiguo to buy a set of coarse porcelain bowls tomorrow."

Li Chi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll stay here for one night, and I'll go home tomorrow."

The elder sister-in-law said happily: "Living here is like filming a movie, better than a place where TV series are shot. Doesn't your home have a TV station and also shoot TV series? Let the second daughter-in-law take people to film here, it will definitely be good!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Not here. In fact, there are many modern things. Most of the original furnishings are in the middle courtyard. This place is mainly for enjoyment. Sister-in-law, don't eat with a bowl between your legs. It won't break even if you drop it on the ground. The bowl of porcelain is solid. Don’t be afraid of breaking it. The things in the East and West courtyards are not that valuable. The middle courtyard should be more solemn and solemn. During the New Year, our family also worships ancestors and burns them for grandpa, grandma, great-grandpa, and great-grandma. Xiang, please come down and stay in the palace for a while. Maybe you can get promoted to an official when you go back?"

The family laughed loudly. Zhiguo came in from outside and said with a smile: "I just called home. My mother will be here soon. I will wait in the garage."

A group of people said happily: "Go, go, go."

After Zhi Guo left, Li Yuan looked at Li Gui's face and said, "Dad, are you too tired? There is a couch next to you. You can lie down and rest for a while while I give you two injections?"

Li Gui did not hold on and nodded.

Mother Li suddenly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Your father has only been around for a year or two."

Lou Xiaoe and the other three were shocked, and other family members also disagreed and told the old lady not to say such things.

Li Gui actually laughed. Li Jiang and Li Hai moved the couch a little closer. The old man was lying on it. Although his eyes could not see clearly the carvings on the roof, he still found them strange. He looked at them and said with a smile: "I'm here." While chatting with some old people in Zhuangzi, Qin Dashan said that my final blessing would be to die suddenly one day without suffering or suffering. Then my blessings in this life would be complete. He is right. In my life, It's enough, and it's worth it. It's not a blessing to just take medicine and suffer the pain. If you earn two years, you will waste the blessing of your children and grandchildren."

Li Yuan was silent for a while and said with a smile: "We are lucky if you live to be a hundred."

Li Guidao: "It's not the time to die yet, I can feel it. But I have to make it clear in advance. After I die, I won't be allowed to do anything big. A glass of water during my lifetime is worth more than ten thousand taels of gold after my death. No one can Don't make a fuss about the fame and excitement, burn it on fire, sprinkle a little of the ashes on the ground at home, and then sprinkle some on the back hill of the garden on Hong Kong Island, and that's it. Don't build any graves, monuments, or anything like that. When you die, leave cleanly and don't get rid of useless things. If I do this, you'd better do the same in the future. I won't cause trouble to you, and you shouldn't cause trouble to the younger generation. Children, live your own life. Well, this is the greatest filial piety to your parents."

After saying this, the family members all felt depressed, which was very unpleasant.

The eldest sister-in-law said with a smile: "Dad, after we scatter your ashes, why don't people scold our family every day? Your youngest son is so capable that after he dies, he won't even let go of the cannon, and people will poke him in the spine!"

Li Gui glanced at his younger son who was concentrating on the massage, smiled and said: "I know whether you are filial or not, and you know it too, just understand in your own heart. Those who do big things, they have more to say." Then he looked towards Li Yuandao: "After I'm done, I'll give it to your elder brother. He's not very healthy either."

Li Chi said: "I'm fine."

Li Yuandao: "Brother, you and Dad didn't eat much just now. You either had some serious illness or you were very tired and endured a lot. But you have made up for it in the past few years and relaxed your mind. Other problems Not big."

Li Chi's problem is indeed not big, he is only sixty-three years old.

Li Gui is really at his wits end, he is eighty-five.

This is because the old man has a good mind, open-minded ideas, and is in a good mood and is not afraid of getting tired, so he can live to a long life under such difficult conditions.

Of course, Li Yuan will still try his best to make the old man live past ninety.

After giving massages to my father and brother, and making appointments for health care for other relatives, Qin Daxue and Zhiguo arrived.

"Dad! Mom! Big brother and sister-in-law..."

The youngest daughter-in-law is not good at this, she has to do everything in her greetings.

Finally, looking at Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiu, and Nie Yu, Qin Daxue raised his eyebrows, his bright eyes were bright, and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at these three little wives, all of them are in their twenties and thirties. Same. Do the mountains and rivers in the country nourish people? As they go around, they become more and more beautiful!"

Lou Xiao'e laughed and said: "You are so beautiful in front of a high official, how dare you laugh at us?"

Lou Xiu was more bold. He stepped forward and touched Qin Daxue's face and said, "I left a moisturizing lotion for you last time. Did you apply it on time?"

What can Qin Daxue do? The three children were all raised by others. He said with a smile: "Erase it! I just run around, there is nothing I can do."

Nie Yu smiled and said: "I guess we will be similar in the future."

Qin Daxue said: "You will continue after Fugui gets married?"

Nie Yumei smiled brightly and said: "We are going to the Northeast. He said he wanted to see an old friend... that Iron Man."

Qin Daxue smiled and said, "I know." He looked at Li Yuan and said, "Have you contacted them there? Mr. Wang has been retired for two or three years due to health reasons. Now he is working as a consultant in the oil field and has refused to leave the front line."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "I have never had the chance. I will fly back and drive over after finishing my business with Fugui."

Qin Daxue smiled and said, "You guys are really good at putting on a show!"

All the members of Lao Li's family are discerning, so they all left, leaving their time to the youngest family.

Zhi Guo supported grandma and walked away together.

The scene turned a little awkward. Qin Daxue looked at Li Yuan, whose eyes were wandering, rolled his eyes angrily, and said, "I will fly to Shenghai for a meeting early tomorrow morning, so I will come over to see you."

The other three people actually breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Daxue's identity actually still brought a lot of pressure.

Don't talk about them, the same is true for Lao Li's family.

Afraid that someone might not take it seriously at all, Li Yuan said "ouch" and said, "Are you leaving early tomorrow morning? When will you come back? We can't stay for a few days..."

Qin Daxue said: "It will probably take a week to finalize a list of people to be shot and then talk to some comrades."

Lou Xiao'e laughed dryly and said: "Daxue, the newspapers on Hong Kong Island are almost writing you as a butcher, do you still want to kill me?"

Qin Daxue shook his head and said: "It's still the same share as last time."

Li Yuandao: "The resistance is not small, right?"

Qin Daxue smiled and said, "Datang Restaurant has been affected. Do you think it's ridiculous?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "How about I take a trip?"

"You get out!"

Qin Daxue smiled angrily and said, "Just let them pay the price openly. When the day comes when you are used, I don't know how much it will collapse."

With that said, he asked Lou Xiu about Xiaoba and Xiaojiu's situation, then looked at his watch and said, "We can't keep it any longer. We have to make some preparations." He took out a rosewood box from his cloth bag and handed it to Lou Xiao'e said: "I can't go there to get married. This is a gift. You can't buy it according to your level. Two plum blossom watches are considered a gift to my son and wife."

Lou Xiao'e smiled with a smile on her face and said, "This is the most high-end gift here!"

Lou Xiu said: "Yuanzi, hurry up and send Daxue over there to rest. She has to prepare materials and will leave early tomorrow morning, so it's not easy to stay up late. We will be back during the Chinese New Year this year, so we can have a good gathering then."

Li Yuan hesitated and said: "It's inconvenient for everyone to be here now... Oops!"

All three feet kicked over.

Pack!

Pretend to be an uncle!

Li Yuan smiled, helped Qin Daxue pick up her bag, and after she and the three sisters hugged each other goodbye, the two left.

After the two left, Nie Yu sat down on the chair. He sat so hard that his butt hurt a little, and he became even more depressed. He said, "It's okay if we are together, but taking him away alone is such a big deal!"

Lou Xiu smiled and said: "Okay! How many times can we see her in a year? Besides, you haven't had enough of this journey?"

Nie Yu laughed.

Lou Xiao'e said: "Come on, let's take a good look at this courtyard. It deserves to be a palace, it's so beautiful."

Nie Yu muttered: "Which drama do you think would be fun to film here?"

Lou Xiu: "..."

Lou Xiao'e: "..."

The two of them looked at each other with disdain: Only lip service, lip service to show off as a hero!

PS: My wife is on a business trip for a week, it’s so miserable, try to keep the updates steady. I hope my son can give me some face and be obedient~~~

My son was naughty and didn’t even mean to buy any toys. He hugged me and cried loudly: Dad, let’s go spend some money! (sad smile!)
