Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui returned home dejectedly. Yi Zhonghai smashed a teacup on the way home and sat on a chair angrily.
Yan Fugui closed the door as soon as he got home. Third Aunt, oh, Second Aunt, hurriedly went forward and asked,"What happened to the head?"
"This is bad, this is bad. I miscalculated today.”Yan Fugui said after thinking for a while. As expected of a scholar, he was good at scheming and had some thoughts. Now, he more or less understood the intention of Chief Wang's last sentence to them.
"In the future, we have to be on good terms with the Yang family in the backyard.”Yan Fugui said.
"Is there anything special about the Yang family?" The second aunt asked in confusion. Although the Yang family had a few rooms, they could not get any benefits."Old Lady Long and the Yang family are not on good terms ~"
"You're just a woman, what do you know? Forget it, I can't tell you. Even if Director Wang is biased towards the Yang family, Yang Yi has already woken up. Let's talk about the family of meritorious officials?"
Yan Fugui laughed disdainfully."Tch ~ Old Lady Long? What was he? Five guarantees?" Made straw sandals for our army? He didn't know if it was true or not. So what if it was true?
Putting aside the Yi and Yan families, Yang Yi looked at the quiet backyard and felt a sense of comfort.
Yi Zhonghai was not a good person, and Xu Damao was not a good person either. However, his wife was a good woman. It would be a pity to marry him.
In the future, the backyard would be under Yang Yi's control. He wouldn't disturb the neighbors when he woke up in the morning to practice martial arts, and he wouldn't be seen cooking delicious food. Then, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he wouldn't say that he was speculating.
Lou Xiao'e didn't go home. She followed Tang Gu to make dinner. The dinner was very simple. There were still some dishes left in the afternoon. She added some cabbage and made a mess. She also heated the remaining buns and made some millet porridge.
Lou Xiao'e clicked her tongue as she watched. Even dinner was so sumptuous. Venison stew, meat buns, and porridge made from high-quality rice. Even a landlord couldn't eat like this, right?
Since he did not have to worry about dinner, Yang Yi could only find an axe from home. The courtyard was littered with broken furniture and bowls.
Someone's furniture in the courtyard was broken, so they would always come here to dismantle some useful parts and bring them back for repair.
Yang Yi directly swung his axe and chopped the old furniture and other wooden products into pieces without even sweating. Then, he cut them into small pieces that were one foot long for ease of use. It just so happened that the firewood in the kitchen had been used up. In order to save money, Tang Gu had been reluctant to buy a coal stove.
Now that the old furniture in the courtyard had been dismantled, it could be used at home for ten days to half a month, saving the girl from going out of the city to pick up firewood on a snowy day.
Just as he moved the chopped wood into the kitchen, Yang Yi heard Tang Gu call for dinner and washed his hands.
There were still some broken pots and bowls left in the courtyard. They would throw them into the trash tomorrow. Otherwise, would the backyard really be a trash station?
After dinner, Lou Xiao'e reluctantly left the backyard and returned to her home in the middle court. She pushed open the door and saw that the bedding and clothes she had moved in the afternoon were not tidied up. Her husband, Xu Damao, did not know where to go for a drink.
Her husband drank and was lecherous all day long, but his alcohol tolerance was not high. He was the kind of person who was addicted but not good at drinking.
She sighed and started to tidy up her clothes. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something and tears fell onto her clothes. Who asked her to have a bitter life and marry such a man? Well, he wasn't really a man.
In the backyard, before going to bed, Yang Yi performed acupuncture on Lu Xia to consolidate the effect of the treatment. Then, he served Lu Xia the medicine.
After being intimate with Tang Gu for a while, other than hugging him, he would at most kiss him on the face. It was impossible to go any further. In this day and age, conservativeness was like a wall, and Yang Yi could not easily break through it.
～～
Early in the morning, before the sun had risen, the snow outside had stopped.
After putting on his clothes, Yang Yi went straight to the courtyard and put on airs.
Eight Trigrams Palm, run first, withdraw and release, go and return, change virtual and real step in the three.
Walking like the wind, standing like a nail, changing the footwork clearly. The waist is the standard, the qi is the flag, and the eyes are in front of the hands and feet of the six roads.
Walking like a dragon, sitting like a tiger, moving like a river, still like a mountain. Yin and Yang Hand, flip up and down, sink shoulders, drop elbows, Qi return to Dan.
Embrace the six directions, do not scatter, the body can be natural. Buckle and swing steps, carefully coil, change forward and backward at the waist.
Seven feet, three hands, move your hands and feet together, don't be slow. Hips to walk, shoulders to bump, body to squeeze against the dark knee.
Do not choke high, do not block low, the wind is the first to advance. A few words of magic in the palm of the hand, do not use pure skill is also useless.
Yang Yi's main cultivation was Xingyi and Ba Gua Zhang. He was once accepted as an in-name disciple by Master Cheng Yingfang, who was also Cheng Tinghua, the disciple of the Eight Trigrams Grandmaster, Dong Haichuan.
Early in the morning, Lou Xiao'e came to the backyard with a can of soy milk. She saw Yang Yi practicing martial arts not far away and stood far away. Yang Yi was different from yesterday. Yesterday, he was punching hard, but today, he gave people a sense of lightness and elegance. He was like a snowstorm, unpredictable.
After Yang Yi finished his work, Lou Xiao'e didn't even raise her head. She walked straight through the courtyard to the main house. At this time, Tang Gu had already prepared breakfast and hurriedly helped set up the bowls and chopsticks.
Tang Gu went to the kitchen to get hot water and a towel to wash up. When he saw that Yang Yi had finished cultivating, he said," Young Master, please enjoy!”
Yang Yi laughed out loud. This girl knew how to do things. He had to give her a huge compliment in his heart.
After washing up and having breakfast with the others, Yang Yi got up after resting for a while. There were many things to do today.
"Mom, girl, I'm going out for a while. Do you have anything you need to buy?”Yang Yi asked.
Lu Xia shook her head." I don't have anything to buy. Let's buy a new set of clothes for the girl." She then opened the handkerchief and saw three big black tens inside.
The main purpose of going out today was to get money. Money was the courage of a hero. If he made himself so poor even though he had the space, wouldn't he lose the face of many transmigrators?
After leaving the backyard, they came to the front yard of the middle courtyard. Most of the residents had already eaten breakfast and were preparing for work. Some of the people Yang Yi knew greeted him, while others remained silent. No one knew what they were thinking. Yang Yi nodded to those who did not know him.
When Yang Yi came out of the courtyard, the courtyard immediately became lively. There were all kinds of guesses and jealousy. Both men and women participated in the discussion of Yang Yi.
After leaving the door, Yang Yi walked straight to the east street and stopped in front of a medicine shop. Looking at the signboard of the medicine shop, Yang Yi had mixed feelings. This place once carried many memories of his childhood. He studied medicine, saved people, and sat in the hall. He had all been in this medicine shop.
As soon as they entered the medicine shop, someone immediately came to greet them. The medicine shop that used to be their family's had changed. They did not see a single person they knew.
"Find the shopkeeper." Yang Yi said. A waiter was not qualified to make decisions on precious herbs, so there was no need to talk nonsense.
When the waiter saw Yang Yi carrying a bag, he called the shopkeeper of the inner hall over. Yang Yi took out a wooden box from his bag and placed it on the table to open it." Please take a look."”The freshly dug and dried ginseng was more than the thickness of a thumb.
The shopkeeper was stunned. He had seen ginseng of such quality for many years. Even if other shops had it, they wouldn't be willing to sell it. Such a precious item could only be used to extend the life of an elderly person at the last moment.
"Talk?" After the shopkeeper identified the ginseng, he invited Yang Yi to the inner court to discuss it in detail. Such a precious treasure was to be sent to the inner court, so it was a great contribution.
A few minutes later, Yang Yi carried a few stacks of Big Black Ten and put them into his bag.
Liulichang was not only open at night, but there were more things in Liulichang at night. During the day, there would be no cash in Liulichang, so everyone was particular about "exchange."”As long as it was not too much, the patrols would not be too strict. They would turn a blind eye. The people had to live.
After entering an alley, Yang Yi saw that there was no one in front and behind him, so he put everything in front into his space. Liulichang had many people, and there were all kinds of people. If he wasn't careful, he might go in whole and come out without his underwear.
Yang Yi stopped in front of a stall. There were more than ten items on the stall. Most of them were bronze, and there were also a few porcelain pieces.
"Look, these are all passed down from my family. I want to exchange them for some money and food.”
He didn't know much about antiques, so he took it as a way to pass the time.
The stall owner immediately introduced it, saying that it was a Xuande furnace.
Yang Yi took a look. Although it was not authentic, after careful observation, it should be a replica of a hand warmer made in the Qianlong period.
"What do you mean?" Yang Yi asked," Name your price?"
The two of them held hands, and the stall owner covered his hand with a black cloth. Originally, in this transaction, both parties would put their hands into their sleeves and secretly trade, not letting anyone know the transaction price.
In the end, this hand stove was sold for five yuan. Although it was an imitation, it was good to buy it to warm his mother's hands.
He took out a big black ten and stuffed it into the stall owner's hand.
The boss looked at him and thought," Hey, we haven't even opened for business today. How can I have money to give people change?"" Little brother, look at this. I can't get change. Why don't you pick another one and I'll charge you the same price.”
When Yang Yi heard this, he thought,"Alright ~ That copper furnace earned me quite a bit.""Then just pick one."”
Looking at the stall owner's time items, there were only a few porcelain items that caught his eye. The workmanship was also considered exquisite. He chose a palm-sized azure porcelain item that was more pleasing to the eye.
"This is it?" The stall owner asked. He didn't know if these things were real or fake. He hadn't been in this business for long, and all the things were bought from the surrounding villages at low prices. Not only did he recover all his capital, but he also made a few bucks.
Yang Yi nodded and wrapped the newspaper that the stall owner had given him before putting it into his bag.
He came to Liulichang to broaden his horizons. He didn't know much about antiques, so he was mainly here to find someone.
He just walked around and took it as a show.
"Little brother in front, wait." Someone suddenly shouted from behind.
There were no customers in the Glazed Tile Factory today. Yang Yi was sure that it was someone who had called him. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man running over. His clothes were tattered but very clean.
He had a guess in his heart.”
"Did you buy a piece of porcelain before? Can you open your eyes?" That person said," My surname is Hou. Everyone I know calls me Trash Hou.”
Yang Yi took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to him. The raggedy duke took it and carefully opened the newspaper. He looked a little excited, but his hands did not tremble at all.
She muttered,"This is it. This is it ~"
"Little brother, can you part with it?" the raggedy duke asked.
What a joke. Yang Yi knew the name of the Marquis of Trash. How could something he liked be bad?
"It's my collection. I'm not selling it." Yang Yi took back the porcelain bottle and put it back into his bag. In fact, he had already put it into his space.
The raggedy Marquis turned around in disappointment, then turned back and instructed,"Little brother, take good care of that. I'm just a step too late for a treasure like the firewood kiln. Sigh ~~"
Yang Yi stopped him." Lord Marquis, do you have time to chat?"”
The raggedy Marquis took a look and sized it up carefully." Let's find a place to talk."”
Riding on a broken three-wheeled motorcycle, Yang Yi followed behind. Not long after, they arrived at a small shop at Zhengyang Gate. There was a wine flag at the door.
'I wonder if Xu Huizhen is here,' Yang Yi thought.'A tavern under Zhengyang Gate? Did he know if there was Chen Xueru?
The tavern was not open for business in the morning, but the door was already open. A young woman walked out, and Yang Yi smelled a faint milk fragrance.
"Shopkeeper Xu, can I borrow a place?" said the raggedy marquis. He introduced them to Yang Yi,"This is the tavern's shopkeeper, Xu Huizhen.”
Yang Yi nodded and sat down at the same table as the raggedy marquis. Not long after, Xu Huizhen came over with two dishes and a pot of wine.
"Lord Marquis is very knowledgeable. I wonder if you know any ancient building masters? I live in the backyard of the courtyard house in Tongluogu Alley. I plan to renovate the backyard and restore it to its original appearance. I will also do some water and electricity work and rebuild the toilet and kitchen.”Yang Yi said.
Siheyuan now used the public toilet in the front yard, and the environment was very " touching."
After the raggedy marquis heard this, he raised his wine cup and took a sip." Same as the fifth courtyard of Gonggu Alley? Your surname is Yang?"
"I've met Lord Marquis before?" Yang Yi asked.
"I can't say that I know all the small families in the entire city, but if I didn't know the Yang family, I wouldn't have lived in vain for so many years.”The raggedy marquis shook his head and said," Your third uncle used to have a close relationship with me.”
"Uncle Hou ~" Yang Yi was not pretentious."You know a lot of people, don't you know?”
"You've found the right person. There's no one in the vicinity who knows more than me. Let's go and take a look.”He wanted to pull Yang Yi out of the door, but Yang Yi quickly paid for the drinks.
Riding the three-wheeled motorcycle to the Yang family, the two of them chatted for a while on the way. Only then did Yang Yi learn that the Marquis of Trash was collecting junk in 49 City all day long. In fact, he was collecting old items. Other than his daily needs, the rest of his money was used to buy old items.
When they returned to the courtyard, the raggedy marquis greeted Lu Xia. It turned out that the two of them knew each other.
Yang Yi whispered into Lu Xia's ear,""I went to the medicine shop to sell a club."
Lu Xia nodded.
～
"When your third uncle was still around, I often came to this courtyard house. However, I'm a man, so it's not easy for me to enter your backyard. I'm as familiar with the front courtyard as you are.”
After walking around the backyard, the raggedy Marquis had a feeling. He pointed at the north wall behind the house and said," This was originally a row of four rooms with a back cover. I don't know when it was demolished. The backyard with the wall is by the Jade River.”
"There's no need to make a big move. When the time comes, I'll inform the street office and directly connect the water pipe from the middle court. It'll be much more convenient for the kitchen and bathroom to use water. The waste water was directly discharged into the Jade River from the sewer.”
He came to the front of the main house and went in to take a look." The main beams are quite good. They've been repainted and maintained. There's not much damage to the veranda. The benches below need to be repaired.”
He glanced outside." The cross-shaped passageway in the courtyard needs to be repaired. It's paved with soft stones. The doors of the two rooms in the west wing have to be repaired, and some tiles on the roof of the east wing have to be changed. When the time comes, I'll get you some similar ones to replace them. The other small jobs will be easy to do.”
"Oh right, add a gate to the backyard first.”Yang Yi said. He didn't want to let others enter and leave the renovated courtyard.
"It should be done in less than ten days. At that time, I guarantee that it will be the same as before, not worse than those Baylor residences.”
Yang Yi brought Lord Marquis to the kitchen on the east side." Apart from the stove, the rest of the kitchen has been dismantled. Then, we'll get a carpenter to make some cabinets.”As Yang Yi spoke, he took out a piece of paper and drew a blueprint according to the design of the open kitchen in the future.
"Kid, you're not bad. This design is very novel. It looks much cleaner and tidier. There are many bottles and jars in the cabinet, and the workbench looks clean.”
The renderings of the bathroom were also drawn. The shower, bathtub, and toilet were all arranged.
There were shower accessories, toilets, bathtubs, and even a lot of PVP pipes.
"Uncle Hou, I'm going to make some cubicles in the main room's bedroom. Uncle, please find a bed made of better material. I plan to turn the west room into a study first." Yang Yi said. Previously, Tang Gu lived in the west room while he lived in the east room. After they got married, the west room became empty. It was used as a study room first. The furniture in the original room was sold, and now it looked empty.
The main house was used as the living room and also a place for the family to eat.
The two rooms in the west wing were perfect for his mother.
"Alright, there's a poor family who wants to sell their house and furniture. I wanted to buy it myself, but now I'll let you have it. The bed is made of yellow rosewood, and the bed is made of golden cedar.”The raggedy marquis said," I'll bring you over after we've negotiated a good price. You'll be worthy enough to move your yard."”
Yang Yi took out three bundles of Big Black Ten from his bag and stuffed them directly into the tattered Hou Shou." Uncle Hou, I'll have to trouble you with this job. If you don't have enough money, tell me. This is not a problem."”
The raggedy Marquis didn't say much and kept it in his pocket. The money wasn't much. A set of furniture and Jinnan's bed took up most of the money. There wouldn't be much money left in the entire backyard. He didn't plan to earn this money anyway.
"Alright, we'll find people to squeeze in this afternoon and start construction.”Without saying anything, he took the blueprint and left.
