Located somewhere north of Xiangjiang, there is a courtyard house with a very ancient history. It is rumored that it was built by a former Qing Dynasty royal family member who came to Xiangjiang to avoid war during the Republic of China.

Later, the family of the Qing royal family member declined, and the descendants were not in good shape, so they sold this courtyard for more than ten years. Now the owner of the courtyard is Ni Fu, one of the four talents of Xiangjiang.

"Dongdongdongdongdong" A rapid knock on the door broke the peace of the courtyard.

"Here's here." Shortly after the knock on the door, the door was opened. There was a middle-aged woman dressed in a medium figure, with a normal appearance, and a honest and honest middle-aged woman in her sixties standing inside the door.

"Young Master, you are back." When the middle-aged woman saw the young man standing outside the door with a hint of anger on her face, she smiled and welcomed the young man into the door.

"Well, Mom Lin, is my dad here?" Ni Zhen walked slowly towards the hall, and asked the middle-aged woman beside him with a smile pushing out a little from her face.

The middle-aged woman's name was Lin Xiuli. She had been poor since childhood. On December 8, 1941, the Japanese invaded Xiangjiang. On December 25, the then Governor of Hong Kong Yang Muqi went to the Peninsula Hotel to meet with the Japanese representatives to sign the surrender letter. Xiangjiang officially fell. Since then, Xiangjiang has entered a painful period of three years and eight months.

After entering the city, the Japanese army was lawless and committed many evil deeds, snatched valuables such as jewelry, handkerchiefs and famous watches everywhere, and humiliated women. Lin Xiuli was also killed and experienced several years of painful experience.

Japan then announced its surrender, and Lin Xiuli and many women like her were liberated. However, during a few years of imprisonment, Lin Xiuli lost her fertility, and the shadow of her heart was caused by the evil deeds that the Japanese had done to her, so she never married for life.

The reason why she is here is because she lives in poverty, but has a good relationship with Ni Zhen’s mother Li Guozhen, but she refuses to accept his mother’s gifts. In addition, the family just lacks a servant, so she invites her to work in Ni’s house.

"Young master, the master is in the backyard, and Miss Yishu and Mr. Huang Zhan are all there." After hearing Ni Zhen's inquiry, Lin Xiuli immediately replied gently. Some loving expressions appeared on her face.

She had known Ni Zhen's mother a long time ago, and it can be said that she watched Ni Zhen grow up. Lin Xiuli lost her fertility and had no offspring. Her other relatives were all killed when Xiangjiang was occupied by the Japanese. So in her eyes, Ni Zhen was no different from her son. She put all her feelings into Ni Zhen.

"Oh? Aunt is here too." When Ni Zhen heard Yishu's name, he slapped his eyebrows slightly. His so-called aunt has always been disgusted with his behavior and always complained about his grim aside in front of his father Ni Fu, which made Ni Zhen feel very unhappy.

What makes Ni Zhen the most dissatisfied is that every time he falls in love with a female celebrity in the entertainment industry, once it is reported by the media or Yishu knows a little about the news, she will call herself to sternly talk to him, and even make a public trial with his father three times to break up with those female celebrities.

So Ni Zhen has always been unable to stand Yishu's actions. Although he is kind to her on the surface, I don't know how many times he scolded her in his heart, "a hateful old woman."

"Yes, Miss Yishu came to find the master and wife early in the morning. Mr. Huang Zhan came later." The middle-aged woman did not see Ni Zhen's subtle expression of Zou Mei. After hearing Ni Zhen's inquiry, she quickly replied.

"Oh, that's it. Mom Lin, please be busy first. I'll go to the backyard to find them." Before Lin Xiuli could agree, Ni Zhen walked out of the hall and headed towards the backyard. When Lin Xiuli reacted, all she could see was Ni Zhen's back.

Although the Siheyuan Su building bought by Ni Fu is a little remote and covers a large area. In addition, Ni Fu and his family know each other, they bought it at a friendly price, but the price is quite expensive. At that time, all Ni Fu's savings were spent, and they have not recovered in the past few years.

As Ni Zhen walked, he looked at the beautiful scenery around him, and he felt even more uneasy because of Mo Xuan's anger.

He grew up drinking foreign ink since he was a child. He went to British elementary school and later went to the United States to study abroad. Therefore, his thoughts have always been relatively westernized. So since he became sensible, he has had a lot of resentment towards his father because of the Siheyuan incident.

Although his father is one of the "Four Talents" in Xiangjiang and has a deep relationship in the cultural circle, what is the synonym for literati? It is poverty. Of course, with Ni Fu's status in Xiangjiang, poverty is of course not considered poor, but his income is really not high.

His father Ni Fu's main source of income was to help newspapers write comments, articles, novels, and sometimes screenwriters earn a little money when attending events.

Compared to ordinary families, their Ni family is of course rich, but compared to many wealthy people in Xiangjiang, it is absolutely impossible to reach. So although his Ni family is a famous scholarly family in Xiangjiang, it is actually just a name.

This is also the reason why Ni Zhen has always been playing with the so-called wealthy families in Xiangjiang, but he actually hates them very much. Nothing else, Qiu Fuer. Seeing them spending money like soil, Ni Zhen himself

His Ni family is a famous scholarly family in Xiangjiang, but even those nouveau riche who have not read many books can be compared. This makes Ni Zhen, who has always regarded himself, feel balanced.

But his father Ni Fu spent a lot of money to buy this remote courtyard house, which made him even more "short of money". If he hadn't had his sweet words, how could he have so many female stars? How could he not feel resentment in his heart?

In Ni Zhen's opinion, if Ni Fu has this money, it would be better to buy a few villas in the famous villa area of ​​Hong Kong Island. It would be "cheap" and dazzling, but he would rather buy a dilapidated courtyard house.

Ni Zhen pushed open the door of the backyard, then walked through a small aisle around the bush and came to a patio. The patio was very spacious, with an old crooked locust tree covering the autumn sun, and the whole courtyard was shady and cool. Four people sat under the grape trellis in the courtyard, two men and two women.

When he was not far from the grape trellis, Ni Zhen hid all the anger and resentment on his face, and replaced it with the usual handsome young hero. Then, while walking, he shouted cordially: "Dad, aunt, Uncle Zhan, I'm back."
