Vol 2 Chapter 602: Hutong Courtyard

Zhang Guoqing, who was worried by Zhang's father and mother that too much money would be harmed by others, took his daughter-in-law and once again set foot on the Hutong courtyard. The cool breeze blows in at night, and the small courtyard is particularly cool, making people want to stay overnight in it, of course, provided that there are no mosquitoes in the ears.
Zhou Jiao came in from the alleys of the hutong and observed that the neighborhood was occupied by high-ranking officials. In ordinary alleys, in the summer night, the grandfather and grandmother would wander outside the house with a small bench and a fan. It's better here, the courtyard door is open, but each family is taking the cool in their own courtyard, and occasionally you can hear the music of musical instruments.
This is a dead end!
Zhou Jiao decided secretly that she was still obediently hiding in the compound. Without eliminating the danger, she would not be admitted to this small courtyard even if she was killed.
As soon as he entered the yard, Zhang Guoqing immediately embraced her to see "The Moonlight in the Lotus Pond", and when he looked in the distance, there are still pedestrians walking in twos and threes in the park.
"How is this place? Isn't it beautiful? The scenery is better than that of the Wujin compound. How about blowing the wind in summer, enjoying the fallen leaves in autumn, and watching the residual snow in winter?"
Zhou Jiao smiled at this. It's hard for this polytechnic student!
"I'm all ready. I drove my father's military vehicle back to the street to say hello, saying that I usually live in school, and occasionally come back for a few nights."
Zhou Jiao looked at his rare childishness, showing that he really liked this place. Then she will satisfy him, but the reminder is still to be reminded. This is Zhou Jiao!
"Okay. But we can't live permanently. And let Dad see who these people are around, safety first."
Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded.
He didn't remind his wife, but his old husband said that if he and his wife were to go to work, then if he moved to the new compound, this would be the place for both of them in the city.
After speaking for such a short time, a circle of mosquitoes surrounded the bulb. Zhou Jiao glanced disgustingly, and immediately looked away. There are also many flowers and trees near the water, which is not a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
"Work?"
When talking about business, Zhang Guoqing smiled, closed the window, looked around, and said to her: "I'm outside, hurry up."
Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile. With her own man guarding the gate, she is more at ease than anyone else. Zhou Jiao knew everything about the mechanism that Gu family was accustomed to, not to mention this was the simplest version.
Without stepping on a few steps, the corner of the wall automatically heard a clicking sound, which matched the croaking of the frog outside at night, which was extremely harmonious.
I don't know how Mrs. Cheng knows about this institution and can use it to hide things. But thinking that this was the old lady's dowry, she also understood.
The blue bricks in the corner soon revealed two and a half meters long slender wooden boxes.
Zhou Jiao went directly to the space, looked at the vacant part, and after returning to the original state, she walked out of the room without any dust. Seeing Zhang Guoqing's turn around, she nodded with a smile.
Stand in the yard in case the partition wall has ears. The couple didn't communicate on this matter either. They looked at each other tacitly and entered the North House main room hand in hand.
Zhou Jiao put the two slender boxes on the kang.
The 15-watt light made Zhang Guoqing see that the two boxes of wood were extremely precious agarwood. He approached in surprise and smelled it. What a prodigal!
Zhou Jiao looked at him with a smile and silently, and nodded with a smile at his betting gaze. Just opening the enclosed space, she smelled the unique fragrance of agarwood, which was nothing strange.
"Have you seen those things before?"
Zhang Guoqing thinks about it, but these two boxes are supposed to be the dowry of Mrs. Cheng by the Gu family. He suggested: "Why do you disassemble these two boxes into ornaments and bracelets while there are still those old skilled craftsmen alive? kind?"
Zhou Jiao understood: "Okay! Go back and send it to my aunt and grandma to let her have a thought, so that she can pass it on to future generations."
Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile. Both husband and wife understand that the value of these two boxes will definitely exceed the contents in the future. Even if they haven't opened the box, they think so.
However, there are often surprises. The so-called ladies are really not to be underestimated.
Looking at the two opened boxes, Zhang Guoqing exhaled with a headache. What is a favor debt? This is! He prefers that Mrs. Cheng put gold in it, and he does not want to see antiques.
Zhou Jiao thoughtfully said: "Don't worry! I can grow up with my grandma, and my vision is not vulgar. She must have spent a lot of trouble with half gold and half antiques. For now, let us be safe. The cousin got married and slowly sent it out as a gift."
Could Zhang Guoqing not expect these methods? But anyone can give away calligraphy and painting antiques, but they can't! Even in the next 20 years, their family won’t even be able to see an ancient painting, otherwise the Gu family’s inheritance will be turbulent again.
After Zhou Jiao finished speaking, looking at Zhang Guoqing's disapproving eyes, she suddenly realized and smiled awkwardly.
Zhang Guoqing laughed at this, rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Forget it. The mountains do not turn, the Cheng family always needs our efforts. We will remember this situation first and pay it back later."
Zhou Jiao raised her fist and waved, "I don't want anyone who wants to give me anything in the future. I really don't need anything, so why doesn't anyone believe it?"
Zhang Guoqing stretched out his hand and held her fist~EbookFREE.me~ and smiled: "Auntie and grandma don't have any private money for you. She is watching you donate all the gold, and she is worried that you have no money."
With a "pouch", Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing.
This is no way. Gu Ruyi, that old woman gave herself gold in front of so many people, can she wait for someone to get a handle if she doesn't give it away? Even his own dowry was almost done by his own bosses. If you want to avoid a crisis, you can only plan ahead.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong here, she put her things away, took out a bottle of canned meat, and raised her eyebrows at Zhang Guoqing. She wanted to get coal, but it was too dirty.
But Zhou Jiao believed that her man could understand. The next step is how to empty the coal materials in the space. Otherwise, how can she go to the other two secret rooms to collect things?
Zhang Guoqing glanced at his wife's rogue expression, picked her up and kissed her hardly, until she was panting, he let go of her reluctantly.
"I'm not at home, are you making waves every day?"
"Yes, the sky is facing you in the dream..."
Zhou Jiao blushed and covered his mouth, she was so stupid to make a joke with him.
Zhang Guoqing kissed her hand and blinked at her. Zhou Jiao was so frightened that Zhou Jiao let go and raised the wine bottle in his other hand to demonstrate against him. She was really scared that this man drove indiscriminately regardless of occasion!
When Zhang Guoqing saw this, a gloomy light flashed in his eyes and smiled. If this little white rabbit doesn't use this trick, he hasn't thought of the thing, now?
Zhang Guoqing cleared her throat and began to divert her attention and talk about plans, "Our previous plan has to be changed. We will not go to the south. This time the inventory is only safe in the northeast black market."
Zhou Jiao restrained her mind and nodded in agreement. This is true. After all, the Northeast is close to the Soviet Union, and those spirits and coal may not have sales in the South.
