Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Lou Tan is very worried recently, partly because of Lou Xiao'e's problem.

There are many things that Lou Tan needs to worry about, including how to hide Lou Bancheng's problems, and also worrying about the health of his daughter Lou Xiao'e.

Although medicine has made a lot of progress these days, giving birth to a child is still a life-or-death dilemma for women.

Especially since Lou Tan is not with Lou Xiao'e, it is normal to have all kinds of worries and random thoughts.

The key is that Lou Tan needs to hide this worry in front of Lou Bancheng and pretend to be nonchalant.

This is a great torture for Lou Tan.

On the other hand, Lou Bancheng is obsessed with playing with toys. Recently, Lou Bancheng has become obsessed with antiques. In this day and age, antiques are quite a niche thing.

Generally, it is played by literati, and there is no specific market value. They are all priced based on preference.

Some things are worthless in the eyes of ordinary people. In the eyes of enthusiasts, it might be worth thousands of gold.

And Lou Bancheng was the one who offered a thousand pieces of gold.

The key point is that Lou Tan knows a little about these things because of her family background. She saw that the things Lou Bancheng bought back at a big price had few good ones. During the Republic of China, there were more imitations and only a few genuine ones. .

Lou Tan knew that Lou Bancheng was not ignorant, so he was quite confused by Lou Bancheng's eye-punching operation.

So one day, after Lou Bancheng walked into the house again holding a blue and white porcelain, Lou Tan couldn't help but curiously asked: "Master, why do you like this?"

When there were no outsiders in the family, Lou Tan was still called by his previous name.

Lou Bancheng smiled and said: "Yahao, Yahao. We don't have to worry about food and drink now. We can't spend all the annual dividends in our lifetime. And I can't do business, so besides buying these things, what else can I do? ?”

It’s not that Lou Tan cares about money, as far as she is concerned, she is just a girl. If Lou Xiao'e really wants to fight for the Lou family's property, it may not be a good thing for Lou Xiao'e and his wife.

The Lou Tan family has experienced strife among large families, otherwise her parents would not have come all the way to Sijiu City.

It's just that Lou Tan never thought that Lou Bancheng's thoughts would change so quickly.

Not long ago, Lou Bancheng was still thinking about integrating into the workplace. He also tried to play the role of a middleman and opened a store in Hong Kong Island. Although there are no big splashes, they are basically positive.

But now Lou Bancheng doesn't seem to care about anything. Instead, he often lets Lou Tan live a low-key life.

It is said that today is different from the past, and it is not the time for businessmen like them to become the trend.

But Lou Bancheng was contrary to what he said. Every now and then, he would spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to buy these things for his own home.

This directly confused Lou Tan.

Lou Tan hesitated again and again, and finally asked: "Master, it's not like you haven't seen good things before. What do you think of these things?"

Lou Bancheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He also knew that these things could fool others, but they could not fool Lou Tan, who came from a wealthy family.

After thinking for a moment, he whispered to Lou Tan: "I hid the good things. I brought these things home on purpose. Otherwise, we would be the only two in our family. Now I have no power. What should we do if someone has other ideas?"

Lou Tan breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked worriedly: "Master, you asked me to keep a low profile. For this reason, I haven't let Damao come over recently. But now you spend a lot of money to buy these things every now and then. , there shouldn’t be much noise on the street, right? Aren’t you afraid of being stared at?”

Lou Bancheng knew that his wife had always been a thoughtful person, otherwise he would not have chosen to keep Lou Tan by his side. That is because Lou Tan has a brain in doing things and can check for his shortcomings.

So Lou Bancheng can basically tell Lou Tan a few words to her. Lou Bancheng said: "Even if we don't change these things, our family will still be targeted if they should. Our family pays so many dividends every year, do you think no one is watching us?"

Now that we exchange money for things, at least those people can feel more at ease.

I would like to exchange it for something yellow and white, but I guess those people won’t exchange it for us!
No matter if you exchange these things, they say gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. Now that the world is at peace, one day these things will become more and more valuable. "

Lou Tan only believed half of Lou Bancheng's words.

If Lou Bancheng was just trying to preserve value, then Lou Bancheng would at least tell Lou Tan where the things were hidden.

Besides, in this day and age, if there is no caring person to help, the old ladies with small feet in the streets and alleys will report to the street office in minutes if there is any abnormality in any house or household.

But Lou Bancheng deliberately avoided this and said nothing.

Lou Tan didn't care about these things. She had been married to Lou Bancheng for so many years, and she wanted what Lou Bancheng gave her.

Lou Bancheng didn't tell him to give it to her, and she never took the initiative to ask Lou Bancheng for it.

Just because she's not greedy, that's why Dafang felt free to let her stay in Sijiu City.

Others don’t know, but Lou Tan knows it himself.

After she had Lou Xiao'e in person, she could have had another child before liberation. But under the suggestion of some people, she got rid of it.

There is no other reason. A wealthy family can allow her to have a daughter like Lou Xiao'e. But if she gives birth to a son, and later she stays in Sijiucheng to accompany Lou Bancheng, it is estimated that she, Lou Xiao'e and the possible son will not be together. Not a single one can be saved.

After liberation, most of the Lou family went to Hong Kong Island, leaving only her and Lou Xiao'e to accompany Lou Bancheng in Sijiucheng. Lou Tan tried many times but could not get pregnant.

I don’t know if this is her fault or Lou Bancheng’s fault. But Lou Tan knows that there should be reasons on Hong Kong Island.

Lou Tan never told Lou Xiao'e about these things.

This was also one of the reasons why she agreed with Xu Damao's instigation of Lou Xiao'e to leave the Lou family.

In fact, Xu Damao also knows some of these things about the Lou family.

At that time, Lao Xu was afraid that Xu Damao would get into trouble while playing in the countryside, so he gave him a prescription.

Later, Xu Damao asked an old doctor about it, and it was proved that if you eat too much of that stuff, you will easily be childless for the rest of your life.

Xu Damao couldn't believe that a person who practiced medicine all year round would make such a mistake.

So I specifically asked Comrade Lao Xu about it. Comrade Lao Xu still had reservations at first for the sake of face.

Later, occasionally when the father and son were drinking, Comrade Xu drank too much and revealed that the doctor who prescribed the medicine back then was the royal doctor of the Lou family.

Of course, it is a slight exaggeration to say that he is employed by the imperial family, but it is certain that the doctor is related to the eldest member of the Lou family.

At that time, Lao Xu was living with the Lou family and was familiar with the doctor. It was normal for him to ask an acquaintance to write a prescription if he wanted to be cheap and save some medical fees.

Therefore, many things are very interesting if you study them carefully. (End of chapter)
