Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

I chatted with Lou Xiao'e for a while.

Then I took a big bowl of food home.

Xu Damao was unaware of this. When he finally found out, he said fiercely to Lou Xiao'e, "Don't give it to her when she comes in the future. You don't know this person. This whole family are ungrateful wretches!"

"Oh..." Lou Xiao'e said, "I really didn't know... Then I won't give it to her next time!"

the next day!

Jia Zhangshi came over with her grandson Banggeng and a larger bowl, asking Lou Xiao'e for leftovers.

Lou Xiao'e listened to Xu Damao and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma Jia, we're out of leftovers... my mom took them to the countryside!"

Madam Jia's face immediately darkened, and she scolded Lou Xiao'e, "What's wrong with eating the food you ordered... How can you bear to see the child making such a fuss?"

"Xu Damao... Xu Damao, you heartless bastard... Have you forgotten how good your Uncle Jia was to you when you were a kid... Now you won't even let me have a bowl of food... Do you have any conscience?"

Jia Zhangshi cursed loudly!

Lou Xiao'e was petrified.

⑦澪彡②依陆（二）谰邻

She couldn't understand how such people could exist in the world.

And it wasn't just Jia Zhangshi; Bang Geng was also rolling around on the ground...

Lou Xiao'e couldn't take it anymore, so she gave Jia Zhangshi another big bowl of leftovers.

Even landlords didn't have surplus grain these days, so Lou Xiao'e, this wealthy young lady, had to live frugally.

She was still quite distressed to give Jia Zhangshi two bowls of food.

Xu Damao was also furious, his face turning pale. He said to Jia Zhangshi's retreating figure, "That old hag is now targeting our family... If she comes again tomorrow, I'll break her legs!"

However, Xu Damao was only threatening.

Lou Xiao'e pulled Xu Damao and said, "Damao... never mind... let's not argue with her... wait... whose house is this?"

Directly in front of Lou Xiao'e was Liu Aiguo's house.

The lights twinkled at night, and the fluorescent tubes illuminated the entire hall as bright as day.

The interior furnishings are depicted in meticulous detail.

"This is one of the biggest spenders in our compound!" Xu Damao said, his face devoid of its former respect. "The richest person in our compound is Liu Aiguo, who is also the deputy director of the steel rolling mill's canteen..."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "His family is really rich!"

"He has no money at all!" Xu Damao said with a look of disdain, "It's true that he's richer than us, but he used to be just a purchasing agent. How much money could he have? He's nowhere near as rich as your dad!"

"no!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "I just saw the things in his house, and they're all quite impressive..."

"The painting in the central hall of his room, number 283, should be an authentic work by Dong Qichang... but it's too far away for me to see clearly... why don't you take me there to take a look?"

"What do you mean by real chicken or fake chicken?" Xu Damao wasn't very educated, but he still pulled Lou Xiao'e along and came to Liu Aiguo's door.

"Brother Aiguo, hehehe..." Although his status has improved and he has married a powerful wife, he no longer thinks highly of Liu Aiguo.

But the moment he saw Liu Aiguo, as if suppressed by his genes, he still greeted Liu Aiguo with a smile.

"Hmm..." Liu Aiguo asked, "What's wrong?"

"I...my wife!" Xu Damao nudged Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Hello... My name is Lou Xiao'e. Xu Damao told me that you were the one who hired someone to cook for us. The food was delicious. Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Liu Aiguo said, "Come in and have a glass of water!"

Then, Lou Xiao'e pulled Xu Damao into Liu Aiguo's living room.

Her gaze fell upon Liu Aiguo, the head of the hall.

Authentic!

She was certain it was genuine.

"Comrade Liu Aiguo..." Lou Xiao'e said in shock, "Do you know that the painting in your main hall is very valuable?"

Liu Aiguo smiled and asked, "How much is it worth?"

Lou Xiao'e said, "This must be an authentic work by Dong Qichang!"

amount……

Liu Aiguo touched his nose, wanting to remind Lou Xiao'e: Let's not talk about chickens, let's all be civilized!

"and……"

Xu Damao scoffed, "What genuine work? You must be mistaken... Honey, look, it says here, doesn't it? [Imitation of Beiyuan Landscape Painting]... This is a forgery, not the original!"

"It's fake..."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao, and a strange sadness welled up in her heart.

Liu Aiguo pursed his lips at Xu Damao.

Then he said, "The name Beiyuan is the courtesy name of Dong Yuan, a painter from the Northern Song Dynasty. He was very skilled at landscape painting and was regarded by later generations as the founder of the Southern School of painting..."

"This painting, titled 'Imitation of the Landscape of Beiyuan,' refers to a landscape painting created by Dong Qichang in the style of Dong Yuan, not a work by someone else imitating Dong Qichang!"

"Therefore, this is not only an authentic work, but also a very valuable one, which can be used to verify the origin and evolution of Dong Qichang's painting style!"

His words made Xu Damao sound like an idiot.

Lou Xiao'e also felt like a clown.

I was actually worried that he wouldn't know the value of something and would be scammed.

To my surprise, the clown was myself.

As Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and raised her eyebrows, she saw a record player on the cabinet to the west of Liu Aiguo's house.

This……

This is a record player.

Liu Aiguo actually has a record player at home?

She has good taste.

He naturally knew how rare this record player was; his father had gone to great lengths to acquire one from abroad.

I never expected that such a small courtyard house would be home to so many hidden talents.

Let's take a look at Liu Aiguo's furniture.

The more I look at it, the more I realize it's not simple.

Although she didn't know much about antiques, Lou Xiao'e still had a basic eye for them.

She knew it was a valuable item!

Chapter 077 Liu Aiguo's Wedding, Jia Zhangshi is Driven Away

Lou Xiao'e was utterly shocked.

But what she didn't know was that Liu Aiguo was extremely envious of her and Xu Damao at that moment.

why?

Because those two can have a passionate night of fighting, while Liu Aiguo can only spend his time alone by the cold window.

It’s so hard.

The days leading up to the wedding are the hardest to get through.

After another month of agonizing waiting, the wedding day finally arrived.

The wedding is scheduled for November 16th.

Why was it scheduled for more than a month before the Lunar New Year?

Li Chunlan had said that Liu Aiguo's family had no elderly members, and she was worried that the New Year would be too rushed, so she wanted to get married early so that Yu Li would have time to take care of Liu Aiguo's family affairs.

Liu Aiguo feels lucky to have such a mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law is so understanding.

Two days before the wedding, Liu Aiguo and Yu Li bought more than ten kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy in advance and distributed wedding invitations from door to door.

Because it's a joyous occasion, there's no favoritism.

Everyone in the compound got rich.

Even Uncle Yi, Uncle San, and He Yuzhu, people they didn't usually get along with, sent wedding invitations, but Liu Aiguo didn't send one to the Jia family.

It's not that Liu Aiguo is stingy.

He was just too scared.

A wedding is a joyous occasion, but what if Jia Zhangshi suddenly goes berserk on the wedding day, rolling on the ground, making unreasonable demands, and who can handle that?
