The car drove through two streets, then turned into a small alley and stopped in front of a courtyard house. The plaque on the door of the courtyard house read Qizhai.
Liao Bing got out of the car and opened the door to Yi Xiaohai: "The chief is inside, please go in"
The south wall of the courtyard is about 20 meters long. It seems that this courtyard is not small.
The gate to the courtyard was open. Before I stepped through the gate, I saw two words written in cursive on the screen wall. My heart
Through the screen door, you can see the inner gate of the courtyard, also known as the hanging flower gate.
There are strange-looking lanterns hung on both sides of the hanging flower door. There is a pattern printed on it that Yi Xiaohai cannot understand, which is a bit like the words written on Taoist symbols.
Entering the inner courtyard of the courtyard is like entering a world of flowers and plants.
There are various trees, begonia flowers, grape trellises, gardenias, and two large tanks under the pomegranate tree, with lotus and fish in them.
Seeing such a courtyard, Yi Xiaohai felt a little itchy.
He once wanted to have a courtyard of his own, where he could plant flowers, grass, fish, and walk dogs, but the nine-digit price always put Yi Xiaohai off.
Now that he has this ability, he is thinking about buying a set, which can be regarded as fulfilling a small wish of his.
"Boy Yi, how is my yard doing?"
An old Taoist priest with messy hair and gray autumn robes came out of the main room to the north. He stared at Yi Xiaohai with big eyes and a smile.
Yi Xiaohai was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands: "Hello, old man"
"I am Xu Li, you can do the same as Xiaodongzi and call me Grandpa Xu"
The old Taoist priest has a rosy face. Although he is a bit slovenly, he has a strong aura and is not like ordinary people.
But the expression on the old Taoist priest's face made Yi Xiaohai feel strange.
Xu Li is the oldest meritorious deed in China. Such an old man in a high position should be very strict, even harsh, about his words and deeds.
But the old Taoist priest in front of him was disheveled and disheveled, and the corners of his mouth were slightly turned upward when he spoke. He clearly had a bit of an old naughty character, which made it difficult for Yi Xiaohai to equate him with Xu Li.
And the old Taoist priest said that the courtyard belonged to him, but Yi Xiaohai clearly remembered that the plaque on the courtyard said Qizhai.
Yi Xiaohai was stunned, which made the old Taoist priest very unhappy. He blew his beard and stared with big eyes: "I asked you to call someone, why are you still in a daze? Call me Grandpa Xu quickly"
Although the thoughts in his mind were so detailed and comprehensive, Yi Xiaohai did not dare to be 100% sure that the person in front of him was not Xu Li himself, because he really could not think of anyone who would dare to impersonate Xu Li.
"Old man Qi, why are you cheating again"
A meticulously groomed old man wearing a Tang suit walked out with a cane.
His expression was slightly angry, and he lightly tapped the old Taoist priest's leg with his crutch to express his dissatisfaction.
"Humph" The old Taoist priest glanced at Yi Xiaohai unhappily, shook his head, and walked into the house first.
There are fruits on the tree, and there is me under the tree. This is the truest portrayal of Yi Xiaohai's heart at this time.
The old Taoist priest is obviously not Xu Li. He lied to himself first. Why is he so dissatisfied?
"Boy Yi, he is joking with you, you don't need to pay attention to him"
Yi Xiaohai didn¡¯t know what happened specifically, but the gray-haired old man in front of him must be Xu Li. He raised his hands and saluted: ¡°I¡¯ve seen Mr. Xu¡±
"Okay, come in and sit down quickly"
Xu Li smiled and waved to Yi Xiaohai.
Entering the house, Xu Li led Yi Xiaohai to the study on the right. As soon as he entered, Yi Xiaohai smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.
The study room was also called a bookstore in ancient times.? is a place specially used for reading, writing or working. It should not be too spacious and should be clear and clean.
This study room fully achieves this.
There are mahogany tables, chairs, square tables, wooden windows with patterns, screens, bamboo curtains, and curtains. There are copybooks on the big table, and a copy of Mi Xiangyang's "Smoke and Rain" hanging on the back wall. The whole room is filled with a sense of naturalness. Elegant and bookish.
There is a small stove on the table, which is heating hot water.
Xu Li took down the water to make tea and saw that Yi Xiaohai was very interested in the environment of the study: "Do you like this study?"
Yi Xiaohai was a little embarrassed: "I came from the capital of Sichuan and brought some specialties to the elders, but compared with the fragrance of tea and ink, it looks a bit tacky"
In such an environment, Yi Xiaohai was indeed a little embarrassed to take out his things.
From the moment Yi Xiaohai came in, Qi Shan stared at the gift in Yi Xiaohai's hand: "I like tackyBoy Yi, bring the gift over here"
Yi Xiaohai obediently placed the gift on the big case.
Qi Shan unceremoniously opened the box and took a look, then quickly divided the four boxes into two parts, one for Xu Li and one for himself to hold: "The tea is yours, the wine is mine"
"This is what Boy Yi gave to me!"
"Why is it just for you? He is talking about the two elders. Do you know what he means? It means that the thing belongs to both of us!"
"Don't be so pretentious that you can't hear what you said. Boy Yi is just trying to be polite so as not to make you look bad. Do you really take it seriously?"
Yi Xiaohai was dumbfounded.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off????? Why are the two old guys quarreling like children?
"I don't care, it belongs to both of us anyway" Qishan began to blow his beard and glare. He looked at Yi Xiaohai: "Boy, do you think this gift belongs to both of us?"
Yi Xiaohai wanted to say no, but he didn't have the courage, so he could only pretend not to hear.
"You, old man, are becoming more and more rogue"
Xu Li shook his head helplessly.
Qi Shan is a shameless person. It would be okay for the two of them to quarrel or even fight in private, but Xu Li still has to pay attention to Yi Xiaohai's presence.
"Boy Yi, he lost a bet to me and he feels unhappy. He is deliberately causing trouble for you. Please ignore him"
Qi Shan was not happy when he heard this: "Am I cheating? Then why did you run out if we agreed that you wouldn't come out? Aren't you cheating too!"
Qishan had no intention of stopping: "If you don't come out, this kid will definitely think of me as you! So the bet can't be considered a loser for me, it can be considered a draw at most!"
