Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 65 Broken House

After dinner, Lu Jiaxin said she was going for a walk and asked Gu Wenfeng to accompany her. Xue Mao wanted to follow, but she made an excuse to stay.

Walking along the road to a relatively remote place, Lu Jiaxin said, "You didn't tell Zhao Dajun about the treasure hunt, right?"

Gu Wenfeng shook his head. Before Lu Jiaxin expressed his position, he didn't reveal a word to Zhao Dajun.

Lu Jiaxin felt relieved immediately: "Brother Gu, don't tell him about the treasure hunt. Find an excuse to let him go back to Sijiu City."

Although Gu Wenfeng had just guessed based on this, he still asked: "Miss Lu, can you tell me why?"

Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment and said: "Through these days of contact, I feel that with Zhao Dajun's temperament, he will most likely ask me to donate the treasure when he finds it."

Gu Wenfeng was surprised: "Miss Lu, why do you think so?"

Of course Lu Jiaxin had this idea for a reason: "My second uncle wanted to occupy my house, but I pushed back. He felt that I was disrespectful. A niece of mine dropped out of school due to family changes, and I helped her continue her studies. He felt that It makes more sense to support others than to spend my money randomly.”

How should I put it, Zhao Dajun’s character and ability are all right, but he likes to point fingers from the moral high ground. And she hated this kind of person the most.

Gu Wenfeng didn't want Zhao Dajun to go back, so he thought for a moment and said, "Miss Lu, I'll test him tonight. If he really wants to, let him go back."

"Try it first!"

Lu Jiaxin hoped that Gu Wenfeng would stay and help her, so she was willing to give him face.

Gu Wenfeng has a tight mouth and strong abilities, and he also has connections in the ancient capital. The last one was far beyond her expectation. But it's also a good thing, there are people to help you when you encounter difficulties.

In the evening, Gu Wenfeng chatted with Zhao Dajun and turned the topic to antiques, saying that one of his comrades had an heirloom at home. Later, because the family had too many people to live in and there were constant quarrels, Fa Xiao's father sold this treasure and bought a house for each of his three sons.

"What baby?"

Gu Wenfeng said: "Emperor Yongzheng's imperial edict was written by himself. This emperor's calligraphy is well-written and is very popular. It is said that it is also of great research value."

Zhao Dajun frowned and said, "Brother Feng, didn't you persuade your comrades to donate their things?"

Difficulties are temporary and can be overcome, but once the thing is sold there is no way to study it.

Gu Wenfeng sighed secretly, Zhao Dajun could not stay. The treasures in his comrade's house were handed down from his ancestors, and he wanted them to donate them; let alone if Lu Jiaxin found the treasures in that house. People have spent so much energy and financial resources. Can you ask them to donate it? Moreover, it is up to the individual to decide whether to donate or not.

The next morning, Gu Wenfeng and Lu Jiaxin said, "Miss Lu, give me five days and I will send the army back."

"Okay, but you have to not let him know about the treasure hunt."

With the conversation last night, how could Gu Wenfeng dare to tell Zhao Dajun: "Don't worry, I won't tell him. Miss Lu, that house is too dilapidated and needs to be repaired before we can live in it. Dajun is here with me these days Fix the house.”

Free labor is not used in vain.

After the two talked, the group set off. On the way, Gu Wenfeng told Lu Jiaxin that the house was a large courtyard with three courtyards, and Sun Xun lived in the first courtyard; the second courtyard and the third courtyard belonged to Sun Xun's uncle. Sun Xun's father had three brothers. At that time, the families were divided and the first to enter the courtyard was drawn by lot. In Sun Xun's family, he was the only adult man who came down, so the whole family lived in such a spacious place. And his uncle's two families are Ding Xingwang, with more than 20 people living there. Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but frowned: "Then when we bought this house, did the Sun family do anything secretly?" "

Gu Wenfeng didn't hide it either: "Those gangsters were found by a cousin of Sun Xun. But we bought the house with money and the procedures were complete. Using such dirty methods is a waste of effort."

Lu Jiaxin was mainly worried that the Sun family would doubt their intentions.

Gu Wenfeng said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. The house is in Xue Mao's name, and it is said to be for him to get married. Later, when they inquired about Xue Mao's details, they all said that he had bad luck."

She felt relieved that no one in the Sun family was suspicious.

After taking two trains and walking for more than ten minutes, we finally arrived at the Sun family's house.

Gu Wenfeng pointed to the open door and said with a stroke: "There used to be three doors here, and there were small doors on both sides. Later, only one door was left, and the others were built with bricks."

Lu Jiaxin looked at the mottled old doors and walls, which had a sense of history. It was a pity that they would be demolished and built into high-rise buildings in a few years.

After stepping through the entrance door, Lu Jiaxin found a door on the left and a long corridor on the right.

Gu Wenfeng opened the door and closed it after everyone went in: "If you don't close the door, people from the Sun family will come in and out and treat this place as their own home. After Xue Mao lost twenty yuan, I The ax I bought has disappeared, so they are not allowed to come in again.”

At first, they were afraid that the Sun family would suspect them of having ulterior motives, so they tolerated it even if these people went too far. But after losing money and things, I no longer had any worries, so I turned them away. The reason was legitimate and I was not afraid of being suspected.

As soon as she walked in, Lu Jiaxin understood why Gu Wenfeng said this house could no longer be inhabited. The original color of the walls cannot be seen, and there is even a lot of grass growing on the walls of the yard. The doors and windows are all broken, and two of the rooms don't even have doors. Inside the house, sunlight shines in through the cracks. If it rains, the house will become a pool.

The yard was originally very spacious, but on the left was a vegetable patch, on the right was a tin shed and a chicken coop, with three poles placed in the middle to dry clothes.

Lu Jiaxin said in disbelief: "Sun Xun's family didn't live here before, so why is the house so dilapidated and messy?"

This house doesn't look like it's inhabited at all.

Gu Wenfeng said: "Sun Xun likes to gamble and never cares about his wife and children. However, the doors and windows were damaged by other members of the Sun family before they moved out. When we came here for the first time, it was dirtier and messier. Xue Mao and I cleaned up For a long time."

Lu Jiaxin felt that those two families were disgusting. They had no money to buy the house and had to do such a dirty job: "The iron shed and the chicken coop were all demolished, and the clothes drying pole was moved to the wall."

Gu Wenfeng was not surprised that she wanted to live here. A group of people who don't live in the house and go back and forth every day to look for the entrance to the secret passage will arouse the suspicion of the Sun family.

Lu Jiaxin and Xue Mao stayed to clean up the house, while Gu Wenfeng and Zhao Dajun returned to the rental house to move things.

After Lu Jiaxin looked at the six rooms, she thought about where the entrance to the secret passage would be built. It’s impossible to have a yard, otherwise it would have been discovered when planting vegetables or plowing the ground or building a tin house or a chicken coop.

The probability of having a kitchen or woodshed is also very low. In the feudal era, men from large families did not enter the kitchen. A gentleman would stay away from the kitchen. According to the TV I watched in my previous life, the secret passage was either in the bedroom or in the study.
