Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 235 A person with a story

Professor Chen Jiuren, Institute of Archeology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This is a man with a story.

Ten years of living in seclusion, insisting on enthusiasm for archaeological work and actively cultivating the next generation has never stopped.

He knows how to fly with the wind, and he also understands the ways of the world.

The latter alone.

It surpassed many of his colleagues.

But now, he ushered in a good time.

A descendant of an old friend who followed foreigners to settle in the United States in the early years came to visit.

Thanks to the formal establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States, information exchange and personnel flow have been facilitated.

Even the leftover business that drives the foreign exchange industry has also grown by leaps and bounds.

Qi Tian was quick-witted, and was brought into the business by Guo Heizi, but accidentally found a village outside the city, a tourist attraction, and made a lot of money in a short period of time.

This meager effort is not in the consideration of Professor Chen Jiuren.

After ten years of waiting, he finally got the archaeological sponsorship fee.

The descendants of an old friend in the United States decided to spend huge sums of money to sponsor Professor Chen's team to organize an archaeological trip to Jingjue ancient city.

This made Professor Chen overjoyed.

In these years, he has applied more than once to conduct an in-depth investigation and excavation of the exquisite culture that has fascinated him for most of his life.

However, due to the shortage of domestic funds, it is difficult for his archaeological career to take shape.

Fortunately, the international and domestic environment is getting better and better, giving him the opportunity to use foreign sponsorship funds to carry out joint archaeological projects.

this day.

Ye Fang suddenly came to see Professor Chen Jiuren.

This elective female student is highly regarded by Professor Chen.

You must know that Ye Fang was originally a Chinese major, but she decided to apply for the postgraduate entrance examination of the Department of Archeology because she was fascinated by elective courses.

How can we not let Professor Chen still have a deep memory.

"Xiaoye, what's the matter? I may not be able to substitute for the school for a while, including Professor Hao..."

"Professor Chen, I want to join this desert archaeological team, okay?"

Ye Fang said firmly.

"Of course you are welcome, Xiaoye. You have knowledge and youthful vigor. Of course I welcome you. But, does your family agree to your participation? You can't fall out with your family because of the archaeological project. You need to understand each other. Try hard to communicate..."

Professor Chen knew a thing or two about Ye Fang's family background.

Well, this is also a small factor for Professor Chen, who has a deep spectrum of human relationships and sophistication, to dote on Xiao Yezi twice.

According to his understanding, it is very difficult for Ye Fang's family to agree to Ye Fang's participation in such a dangerous archaeological undertaking.

Because of the exquisite ancient city, Chen Jiuren himself is not sure that he will be able to find it.

It is only through the statement of my old friend's daughter that I learned some latest information, which is more likely than before.

In many cases, it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and analyze and determine according to the actual situation.

And along the way, there may be various natural and man-made difficulties and obstacles.

Ye Fang has a good family background and suffers little hardship.

Chen Jiuren understands the vigor of a young man like Ye Fang, and never worries about whether the little girl can persevere.

Instead, he was worried about whether he would suffer too much and lose an outstanding student who had a promising future.

In comparison, Zhou Zimo, who is also his student, is more suitable.

The basic knowledge is also solid, hardworking and healthy, and there is experience in desert archaeology.

It's just that due to some special circumstances, there has been no news that the ban on entering and leaving the capital city has been lifted.

For more than a year, because of his colleague Sun Xuewu, Chen Jiuren knew some inside information.

It's just not exhaustive, but there's no need to know the finer details.

He only likes Jingjue Culture, and although he regrets missing some other archaeological projects, it is only a little bit.

Innocent.

It's just that Zhou Zimo can't go, it's good to be able to go to his lover Xiao Yezi.

After all, instead of looking at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, with Ye Fang's participation, the progress of various review tasks can be faster.

After waiting for this opportunity for so many years, the flowers that Professor Chen Jiuren has been waiting for are almost gone.

"Uncle Chen, the weather in the desert is unpredictable, and we still lack someone who understands Feng Shui and observes the stars."

A stylishly dressed [-]-year-old girl reminded from the other side of the table.

This girl with a ponytail is the daughter of Chen Jiuren's old friend. Her surname is Yang, and her Chinese name is Yang Xueli. According to the English tradition, it should be Xueli Yang.

Pure English translation.

The only woman in the future Iron Triangle, Hu Bayi's partner, the staff officer Wang Kaixuan said.

It is also the super big name sponsor of this exquisite ancient city archaeology.

Commonly known as the gold master.

"Then we will recruit another team leader, and the requirement is that he must understand Tianxing Fengshui..."

As for the name Tianxing Fengshui, Professor Chen just opened his mouth.

After all, I have studied the exquisite culture for many years, and I have also negotiated and communicated with people in the same industry.

Everyone knows Xueli Yang's background. Chen Jiuren has a relationship with Xueli Yang's father, so it is not surprising that he knows a little bit.

This matter was passed on through internal channels.

It's just limited to the previous search operation by Deputy Bureau Peng, which caused many outstanding people in the industry to suddenly disappear.

Expertise is caught in an eerie fault line.

Professor Chen Jiuren also inquired privately through some connections.

But the feedback results are very unsatisfactory.

Either he disappeared, or he was forced to live in a nursing home for recuperation because of some physical discomfort.

"A few years ago, my father had letters with several domestic masters who are good at Fengshui, but they stopped after that..."

"Xue Li, let's look again. I'll ask Hao Aiguo to go out with me in a while. I have some old buddies. Let them help to find out. I believe there will be someone suitable..."

Chen Jiuren was quite unconfident when he said this.

But he is the leader, and if the leader is discouraged, the whole team will lose its muscles.

So no matter how anxious you are in your heart, you have to be firm.

I visited some old merchants in Panjiayuan and Liulichang, and revealed that the archaeological project recruited capable people who understand Tianxing Fengshui as team leaders.

Among those who got the news was Lei Xiaoliu's good buddy, Da Jinya, who is also the logistics captain of the Iron Triangle in the Future Ghost Blowing Lantern series.

What was originally a small gold tooth became a big gold tooth.

The age has not increased much, but Da Jinya is considered to have inherited his father's business in the antique industry, and his status in the industry is there.

Catch up with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan who are just showing their true colors and come back from Ganggang Yingzi excitedly.

Take the pair of jade pendants and come to Da Jinya for appraisal.

"My lords, if you two still plan to do this business in the future, please come down with me for a walk when you have time, don't miss out on good things, and let your skills be blinded by your lords..."

When Da Jinya heard Wang Kaixuan's gesticulation, he felt distressed.

Co-authors, these two people have the ability to touch gold, but their eyes for finding treasures are really laymen.

The three met to eat hot pot in Donglaishun.

Eat and chat.

It's okay for Hu Bayi to come back after retiring from the army, and the retiring fee also helped Wang Kaixuan settle the matter.

As for Wang Kaixuan, reversing tapes won't make a lot of money, it's just making small troubles.

A tomb robbery experience seemed to open up Wang Kaixuan's second line of Ren and Du, making him instantly infatuated with this kind of life.

And although this time I lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds.

It's not the first time.

Even so, a lot of money was exchanged.

I can stay to eat and drink by myself, and according to Lao Hu, send it to his comrades and family members.

In this regard, Wang Kaixuan is indeed quite open-minded.

The three views and energy are quite positive.

"Hey, I'm going to eat it now, I don't know how to wait for me..."

Zhou Zimo came in with a smile, and sat on the other side of Hu Bayi.

"Huh? This is..."

Big Gold Teeth's eyes flickered.

In fact, he recognized the young man at a glance.

He had been in and out of that low-key luxury compound that he spied once.

Lei Xiaoliu didn't hide this fact.

The younger brother of the wife of the main house in the backyard.

A brother-in-law of the owner of the compound.

A top student at Yenching University.

"Come on, let me introduce to you..."

Wang Kaixuan spoke enthusiastically.

As long as there is Fatty Wang on a wine table, there is never any need to worry about being left alone.

"This is Zhou Zimo, our good brother who went to the countryside together as an educated youth. Later we came back from Ganggang Yingzi, Commander Hu went to the army, and I came back to the capital to start a small business. Zimo took the college entrance examination and became Yanjing University student, Lord Jin, do you know what my brother learned to change jobs?"

Wang Kaixuan spoke enthusiastically, and without waiting for Da Jinya to guess, he announced the answer directly: "Archaeology major in the Department of History, graduate student! How about..."

When he came back, Fatty Wang continued to introduce Da Jinya.

"...the owner of the antique business, nicknamed Big Gold Tooth..."

"Jin Ye, have we met somewhere?"

Zhou Zimo thought Da Jinya looked familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Don't tell me, brother Zhou just calls me brother, and Lei Xiaoliu and I grew up with Tieci when we were young..."

"Oh, hey, I remembered, I remembered..."

The topic stops here.

Zhou Zimo didn't want to say much in front of outsiders.

As for the matter of brother-in-law's family and sister, I try not to mention it as much as possible.

Meal for three turned into four.

Continue to eat and drink, in full swing.

"You went back for a trip, how do you feel?"

"The Liao tomb was discovered on Niuxin Mountain. The local archaeologists sealed off the whole mountain. We didn't do it in vain. We discovered the tomb of a general of the Liao Kingdom and discovered the secret base of the Xiaori Kingdom. I did a little favor for the village..."

Wang Kaixuan spoke low-key and modest words with a triumphant attitude and tone.

Hu Bayi and Zhou Zimo are used to this kind of trickery.

Even Da Jinya didn't care.

Chopsticks vigorously pounded the cooked mutton slices.

"Boss, five more plates of mutton..."

"Okay, Brother Zhou, wait a moment, I'll go and rush."

"Brother Zhou is very familiar with this place?"

"For many years, my brother-in-law often brings me here to eat."

"Brother Wei, how are you doing recently, isn't it good?"

Hu Bayi accosted and asked.

He really wanted to visit Wei Ping'an, but his previous situation was really difficult to deal with. Now that he has more money, he thought about going to visit someday.

No matter how you say it is also a benefactor who helped me.

Hu Bayi puts more emphasis on feelings than anything else.

Wei Ping'an had rescued him in trouble more than once.

The grace of saving lives is reciprocated by the fountain.

When he came to the capital and didn't visit Wei Ping'an, he felt uncomfortable.

"It's still the same, my brother-in-law is free enough now, he can be regarded as a semi-retired life..."

"When is it convenient, Zimo, take us to see Big Brother Wei. When I was a soldier in Kunlun Mountain, Big Brother Wei saved my life."

"What day do you choose? If you finish eating later, you'll be fine. Let's drink tea at my brother-in-law's. He has a lot of good tea."

Big Gold Tooth blinked, and he also wanted to follow.

Visiting the gods is one of them, and wanting to see the interior decoration with my own eyes is the key point.

"If Master Jin is interested, let's go together?"

"Then there's Brother Lao Zhou, and I'll go visit this Lord Wei too."

Da Jinya really respects Wei Pingan from the bottom of his heart.

Although I haven't seen anyone, but when it comes to names, I don't forget to bow my hands.

Five plates of mutton were put into the pot one after another, and the four people ate their stomachs round.

After leaving Donglaishun, Zhou Zimo took a few people straight to Nanluoguxiang.

Wei Pingan was almost immersed in this place during the day.

On the one hand, No. 95 Courtyard has been renovated, which is suitable for Wei Pingan to be alone, quiet and peaceful.

Moreover, Wei Ping'an has successfully handed over the work, and there is almost no need to go there for nothing major.

This seems to be his work base where he finds peace amidst the turmoil.

Lao Hu was going to buy some high-end tea as gifts, but Zhou Zimo stopped him.

There's no need to spend that wasted money.

Now Wei Ping'an is playing very well. He picks tea, roasts tea and cooks tea by himself.

It's a kind of emotional appeal.

In the end, Lao Hu bought some fruits and carried them separately from Wang Kaixuan.

When visiting the door for the first time, you should pay attention to not empty-handed.

Da Jinya also prepared some fruit and pastries.

Everyone has a clear division of labor, and they don't just buy and carry them casually.

Afraid of not paying enough attention.

No matter how much Zhou Zimo tried to persuade him, no one knew what Wei Ping'an cared about, and what Zhou Zimo said was true or false...

In line with the principle of being courteous, the four of them came to the gate of the courtyard.

This small piece of open space has been cleaned up by Wei Pingan.

There is also a layer of cement board, which looks clean and tidy.

Wang Kaixuan saw that there was an iron rolling shutter door in the inverted room.

"Zimo, Brother Wei, why is there a door on the west side of this courtyard?"

On the way here, Zhou Zimo also told them that his brother-in-law Wei Pingan lives in a quadrangular courtyard.

Both Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were taken aback.

You have to know how big the four-in-one courtyard is, and it turns out that Zhou Zimo's brother-in-law lives alone.

"Doesn't your sister live with your brother-in-law?"

"This place used to be where my sister and my brother-in-law lived, but it was just two side rooms in the East Kua courtyard. After my brother-in-law got better, he bought the whole courtyard..."

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were astonished, and Wang Kaixuan was even more bluffing, bluntly saying that knowledge and ability are different.

He also encouraged Lao Hu to work harder and be on par with Zimo's brother-in-law.

Only Da Jinya took a deep look at Zhou Zimo and remained silent.

He knew that the courtyard on the other side of Gulou West Street must be more luxurious than here.

"Fatty, that's the garage."

"Your brother-in-law has such a big yard and a private car, what exactly does Big Brother Wei do?"

"Gas stoves, air conditioners, front-loading washing machines...all invented by my brother-in-law, and the certificates are hanging on the wall inside."

"If you want to say it, you have to be literate."

Hu Bayi said with emotion.

"Old Hu, it's possible to have a craft. Just like us, if we invite the treasures buried in the ground, we can be regarded as contributing to the country's economic development, right..."
