    In the next few days, Mr. Liu almost stayed at home and did not go to the CPPCC. Anyway, he was getting older and often fell asleep during meetings, so he simply took a long leave to spend time at home.  </p>??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Chu Mingqiu did not make any fuss, and his life was still as usual, but now his range of activities has expanded and he can leave the house, of course under the care of Sui'er.  </p> The Chu Mansion is indeed so big that this alley is named after the Chu family. The Chu Mansion almost occupies the entire alley. Going out from this alley is the Dengmaoer Hutong. This alley.  It is not as quiet as Wangguaizi Hutong, but it is bustling with groceries, restaurants, and barber shops.  </p> There is a vegetable market not far to the west of Dengmaoer Hutong. Now a vegetable shop has been built here. The surrounding residents, including the Chu Mansion, come here to buy vegetables.  </p> Chu Mingqiu now has to go out to play for a while almost every day. There are too few children at home. Chu Chengzhi and Chu Qing were taken out to kindergarten by Chu Kuanyuan in the spring. Chu Mingqiu now wants to  Being a "star" means there is no audience anymore. Oh, there is another loyal audience, Sui'er. No matter what he does, he is always within three meters of him.  </p> The Chu Mansion is very quiet. The only people who are usually at home are Liu Ye and his wife. In addition, Chu Mingqiu¡¯s sister-in-law Chang Xinlan is also often at home. This sister-in-law hardly goes out and doesn¡¯t care about things at home. She can¡¯t control Chu Mingshu.  , I can¡¯t control Chu Kuanguang, Chu Yun and other children.  Chu Mingshu kept a concubine outside, and she didn't make any noise when she found out. The concubine's son Chu Kuanyuan entered the Chu Mansion in a grand manner, but she didn't care, but was not allowed to enter her room.  </p> At first, Chu Mingqiu couldn¡¯t understand what this sister-in-law was doing at home all day long. She neither liked reading nor going to the theater, growing flowers, or going shopping. It was almost impossible to tell what she had in common.  Hobby, until one time she complained to the sixth master Yue Xiuxiu, saying that Chu Mingshu took out how much money he had from home and did not know what he did.  </p> Chu Mingqiu didn¡¯t know how Mr. Six dealt with it, but his sister-in-law was so serious and persistent when settling the accounts, every stroke was clear and without any errors, Chu Mingqiu finally understood what her interest was. This was completely a mistake.  A qualified CFO.  </p> After the staff was streamlined, the house was empty. There was nothing in the yard except the fierce sunshine. The flowers in the flower beds were also listless. Almost everyone was hiding in the room.  </p> "Hey!" There has always been a sudden sound in the Baicao Garden. Chu Mingqiu was naked, his legs were tied into a horse stance, his fists were collected at his waist, and he punched out one after another.  Beads of sweat slid down his back.  </p>?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? may raise your voice and exhale, swing out your right fist, and retract it at your waist, and then thrust out your left fist again, and then retract it at your waist.  </p> After boring exercises over and over again, Wu Feng told him that practicing martial arts means practicing in the summer and in the winter. Only by enduring hardship can one become a master.  </p> Chu Mingqiu is more serious than before.  </p> There is no other reason. Since he found out that he was cheated, Chu Mingqiu has been greatly worried about his future and money, and even has some fear. This is due to the huge deviation in the plan and the unknowability of his future destiny.  fear.  </p> After practicing for more than an hour, Chu Mingqiu gathered himself, returned to the room, jumped into the bucket of warm water prepared by Sui'er, took a quick shower, and put on a sea soul shirt.  Drink another bowl of iced sour plums, and every pore in your body will feel cool.  </p> Cool!  </p> Pulling out a copy of "Chu Ci" from the pile of books on the table, he leaned on the chair and looked at it. He had finished studying "Youth Learning Qionglin" a long time ago, and the teacher began to teach "Chu Ci". Chu Mingqiu had never felt "Chu Ci" before.  What does "Chu Ci" mean, but now it feels endlessly poignant.  ""  > "The body is dead, but the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is determined to be a ghost hero."</p> "I have seen too many soap operas, fake love dramas, and pretentious braid dramas, and reading this "National Sorrow" is simply amazing.  Mesmerizing.  </p> Soldiers who look forward to death, carry long swords and strong bows on their backs, and step onto the bloody battlefield. Even if they are greatly outnumbered, even if they are equipped with swords and axes, they will still attack tenaciously, never retreat, and never bend their knees.  </p> Sui'er was sewing next to her, listening to Chu Mingqiu reciting it loudly. She didn't know what the poem meant, but Chu Mingqiu's reciting gave her a different feeling.  </p> It was an indescribable feeling. I just felt the pride surging in my chest, as if it was about to burst out. The blood all over my body was boiling. Even if there was a mountain of knives in front of me, I would pounce on it and climb the mountain tenaciously.  .  </p> Sui'er wanted to ask but she didn't. No one was allowed to disturb Chu Mingqiu when he was studying. This was the rule of the house. Even if he had anything to say, he had to wait until Chu Mingqiu finished reading.  </p> Gently bite off the thread, unfold the clothes, and reveal the prototype of a Chinese tunic suit. It is obvious that this is not what Chu Mingqiu is wearing. He spreads the clothes on the table and carefullyLook at the stitching and hold the sleeve next to it to compare.  </p> "Sister Sui'er, sister Sui'er." </p> There was a call from the yard, and Sui'er quickly put down her work. When she went out, she saw the girl beside Yue Xiuxiu, Daukou, and Sui'er hurriedly hissed.  .  </p> "What are you talking about? The young master is studying, please keep your voice down," Sui'er scolded. She didn't know a few words, and these words were taught by the young master, but she always envied and respected the scholars, bother me.  It is a huge mistake for the young master to study.  </p> "Tell me, what are your orders, madam."</p> Sui'er has a very high status among the girls now. A year ago, an old woman in the outer courtyard scolded Sui'er for some unknown reason, and was told by Chu Ming  Qiu saw that the four-year-old Chu Mingqiu was furious. Not only did he scold the old woman, but he also insisted on driving her out of the house. From then on, everyone in the house knew that Sui'er should not be messed with.  The young master will not give up.  </p> ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.  They attach great importance to the young master's studies. Since the young master's enlightenment, they have never seen them disturbing the young master's study time.  </p> After hesitating, Sui'er said: "This is no better than before. The young master is working very hard now. Let me tell you."  Not only did he become more serious about practicing martial arts and piano, but he also became more active in reading and practicing calligraphy. He would go to Ruyilou every now and then, pick up a book, and then come back down. Otherwise, he would pester Mr. Liu and listen to him talk about how to identify antiques.  </p> It doesn¡¯t matter. Chu Mingqiu discovered that Mr. Liu has a lot of stuff in his belly. Not only does he have various collections, including ancient inkstones, paintings, books and jade, as well as birds and insects, he knows everything. He is just a miscellaneous item.  Pu, an out-and-out old stubborn master of Yanjing.  </p> From Master Liu, Chu Mingqiu also knew the Chu family¡¯s background. Master Liu would always take out paintings or books for him to identify, including those from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, from that era.  , Chu Mingqiu estimated that even if he sold these things, he could still buy two houses in Diaoyutai No. 7 Courtyard.  </p> What surprised Chu Mingqiu the most was that the chairs and stools he usually sat on, on which he practiced carving with a knife when he was a child, were actually made of rosewood. After knowing this, he wished he could give his hands to  Cut it off, prodigal, prodigal, this is rosewood. He had visited a furniture store in his previous life, and he didn't dare to ask how much the rosewood furniture cost.  </p> After Chu Mingqiu regretted it, he couldn't do anything at home, including his own room. He didn't even dare to sit on a chair. Wu Feng once asked him strangely, and he hesitated for a long time before telling him.  , there were dozens or millions of things sitting under the buttocks, fearing that they would break, which made Wu Feng laugh.  </p> Wu Feng told Master Liu about this, and Master Liu later told him that whether it was money or antiques, they were just gadgets, and gadgets were meant to be used and enjoyed by others. As long as they were not deliberately damaged, they would be used.  Just be happy.  </p> Looking at Mr. Liu with a bit of joking, Chu Mingqiu was deeply ashamed of his own cowardice. What kind of state his father was in was beyond his reach. Only then did he return to being as free and comfortable as before.  </p> "Master, Master, my wife wants you to go to the front hall." Sui'er came over and called out quietly.  </p> Chu Mingqiu finished reading a paragraph before turning back and asking: "What's the matter?"  Master, let¡¯s go over and get to know each other.¡±</p> ¡°Chu Yun is back, and she also has a boyfriend.¡± Chu Mingqiu paused. He was not impressed by Chu Yun, but he felt that she was a little aloof and had no relationship with anyone.  Very affectionate. A few years ago, Chu Yun found a job outside. She seemed to be an editor at some publishing house. Now he heard that she had a boyfriend, which made him a little curious. What kind of man did she like?  ?  </p> ¡°Oh, let¡¯s go and have a look.¡± Chu Mingqiu put down the book and followed Daukou towards the front hall.  </p> "How old is Chu Yun this year?" Chu Mingqiu tried hard to think of Chu Yun's age, but couldn't remember whether it was twenty or twenty-two. Chu Dai didn't know how old she was either. Zhuang Jingyi looked twenty.  Sansi, since they are classmates, Chu Dai should be this old, but Chu Dai has never been seen interacting with any boys.  </p> "I heard from the eldest young master that Miss Yun is already twenty-three this year," Daukou said, looking at Chu Mingqiu's back, and carefully reminded: "Miss Dai is also twenty-two this year."</p>  p> Chu Mingqiu is not very fond of the children of his eldest brother and second brother. Among the girls, only Sui'er and Daukou know this secret. These two girls are tight-lipped and dare not tell anyone.  </p> Chu Mingqiu didn¡¯t ask any more questions. Chu Kuanguang was two years older than Chu Yun. He didn¡¯t know why. He had never seen him bring a girl home. He hung out with a group of people all day long. He didn¡¯t know why.  What are you doing??I just think that the fairy sister is only twenty-two, which is not the case.  </p> The front hall is relative to the living room in the backyard. The front hall is the living room where the Chu family entertains foreign guests. It does not belong to the backyard, but to the front yard. Before liberation, the Chu Mansion was like the Grand View Garden. Those  There are strict rules on where servants can move in that area.  </p> For example, porters and coachmen, these people cannot go to the front yard. When guests come, they wait in the porter first. The porter goes to the front door and gives it to the servants guarding the door (usually married women, most of them are  The servant's family) reported, and the servant went to the gate of the backyard to report to the girl (unmarried girl) guarding the door. The girl then went to each courtyard to inform the girl in each courtyard, and the girl in the courtyard reported again.  Give it to the host, and then the host will receive you in the front hall. It should also be noted that the main hall in the front hall can only be used by the sixth master, and the side hall is used by the young masters.  </p> However, now that we have been liberated, the rules are not so strict, there are few servants at home, and the concierge goes directly to the backyard to report, but the main hall is still not allowed to be used by young masters.  </p> Before reaching the front hall, I heard the noise coming from inside. The voice of Kuan Guang and Kuan Ren came out far away, occasionally mixed with Chu Dai's voice.  </p> Chu Mingqiu shook his head slightly. The young masters and ladies of the Chu family were bored. Whenever something happened at home, they would swoop in like a group of flies smelling fishy smell. They would talk unscrupulously next to them, each one louder than the other.  , I can¡¯t even cover up my dandy aura.  </p> ¡°These little bastards.¡± Chu Mingqiu cursed secretly in his heart. Master Six had told them many times to let them go out to find a job and learn some skills, but no one has done anything until now. Except for Chu Yun,  In the entire Chu family, she and Chu Kuanyuan were the only ones working outside, while the rest of the family stayed at home and gnawed at their old age.  </p> "What are you doing!" Chu Mingqiu stood at the door and scolded Chu Kuanguang, Chu Kuanmin, Chu Kuanjie and others who were talking about it, and glared at Chu Dai and Chu Mei.  .  </p> Then it fell on the young man next to Chu Yun. It could be seen that Chu Yun had put a lot of thought into him. The suit on his body was obviously new, his hair was neatly combed, his face was thin, and his nose was  Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he looked elegant and elegant.  </p> Chu Mingqiu nodded secretly. Chu Yun read books all day long and seemed to like literati. This should be the type she liked.  </p> ¡°Who do I think you are? You scared me,¡± Chu Kuanguang came over jokingly: ¡°Uncle, let me introduce to you, this is my sister¡¯s boyfriend, his name is Oh, sister  , what¡¯s his name? He¡¯s also a poet.¡±</p> Chu Yun¡¯s face looked very ugly. She glanced at her boyfriend with some worry. She knew very well who her brothers were, but she didn¡¯t care.  She was worried that her boyfriend would be unhappy, so she kept holding her boyfriend's hand tightly.  </p> Before Chu Yun could speak, Chu Mingqiu sneered: "The poet is very good. In fact, no matter what he does, even sweeping the streets, he is better than you. Chu Kuanguang, you can only eat and wait to die."  What else can you do? You are a loser and you still have the nerve to gossip here. If I were you, I would just buy a piece of tofu and kill you."</p> "Chu Kuangguang was stupid, even though it was Chu Mingqiu.  Uncle, he was only a five-year-old child after all. Being scolded by a five-year-old child made him a little embarrassed.  </p> ¡°You,¡± Chu Kuanguang raised his hand to strike. Chu Mingqiu raised his little face and looked at him contemptuously. Mr. Liu coughed lightly beside him, and Chu Kuanguang¡¯s hand could not fall down.  , he turned back angrily and shouted: "Grandpa, look at my brother-in-law, does anyone say that about family members?"</p> Mr. Liu chuckled twice: "Why, you are not convinced, are you? If you are not convinced, just do it.  Go out and do something, show him, and then tell him, you kid is talking nonsense!¡±</p> Chu Kuanguang was speechless. He didn¡¯t dare to say anything to Mr. Liu, so he could only glare at Chu Mingqiu.  Said: "It's not your turn to be the head of the Chu family yet." After saying that, Chu Kuanguang turned around and left.  </p> ¡°Coward,¡± Chu Mingqiu cursed disdainfully, turned around and scolded the others: ¡°Do you have any basic courtesy? Even if such a big person cannot bring some glory to the Chu family, don¡¯t let it go.  People say our Chu family has no tutors. "</p> Chu Mingshu stood motionless beside him. Chu Mingqiu scolded his son, but he didn't seem to hear him, and the smile on his face didn't even drop.  </p> ¡°Hey, uncle, when will it be your turn to be in charge of the Chu family? Your little hand can¡¯t handle such a big seal.¡± Chu Kuanjie said mockingly with a smile on his face.  </p> ¡°If you want me to be the head of the family, I will cut off your monthly salary first and go out to earn money by myself. If you don¡¯t make any money, you will starve to death.¡± Chu Mingqiu sneered.  </p> ¡°What a good idea, let¡¯s do it like this,¡± Mr. Liu shouted with a smile, pointing the pipe in his hand at Chu Kuanjie and the others: ¡°You guys, start looking for jobs tomorrow. According to the instructions, the monthly routine will start from next month.  Stop it, no one of you is allowed to give me any more monthly payments. You have to earn your own living expenses. If you can¡¯t earn it, you can go home to eat and take care of yourself.¡±</p> &nbsp; The living room exploded. Chu Kuanjie, Chu Kuanmin and others couldn't help but jump up. Now it's no better than before. In the past, when the young master of the Chu family became an adult, he could open a pharmacy outside, but the pharmacy couldn't use the name of the Chu family pharmacy. It could sell  The medicines from Chu Family Pharmacy can also be sold from other pharmacies, and even Western medicines.  </p> Chu Mingshu these bright characters have opened several pharmacies in the outside, but now it is not enough.  Monthly example.  The sixth master cut off their monthly routine again, which undoubtedly cut off their livelihood.  </p> ¡°Grandpa, why?¡±</p> ¡°Grandpa, he is just a child, how can what he says work!¡±</p> Chu Kuanmin is particularly nervous. Unlike other brothers and sisters, he has a strong relationship with others.  You are married, have a wife and children, and a family to support. How can you live without a monthly income?  Before he could speak, Chu Mingqiu spoke first.  </p> ¡°Dad, we can¡¯t cut it across the board. Kuan Min has a wife and children, so the monthly routine of Xinlu cannot be cut off, and Meizi is still studying, so the monthly routine cannot be cut off.¡±</p> Having said this, Chu Mingqiu looked at  Chu Kuanjie said with a half-smile: "As for why, according to the law, you are an adult at the age of eighteen. What an adult is, is to support your family. You are all eighteen years old, and you are twenty-five years old."  He is six years old and is now a complete adult. I heard Teacher Zhuang say that in the United States, even if you are the son of Rockefeller, you can only work to earn money by yourself after the age of 18, and your family will no longer give you money for free. "<  /p> "Haha, the old lady still has this rule," Liu Ye smiled and glanced at Yue Xiuxiu. Yue Xiuxiu said nothing, but her eyes were a little worried: "Well, the old lady behaves like a bastard in other things.  This rule is good, this rule is good. "</p> "Grandpa, please stop making noise," Chu Kuanjie couldn't help shouting: "I don't care anyway, if my monthly routine is cut off, I will go to the streets to beg for food.  Let¡¯s see where you put your face.¡±</p> ¡°Brother-in-law, you encouraged grandpa to cut off our monthly salary, aren¡¯t you just thinking about the old man¡¯s inheritance? My grandma¡¯s property is all left to you, and you are still not satisfied.  , This is too greedy." Chu Kuanmin focused his attack on Chu Mingqiu.  </p> Chu Mingqiu smiled faintly: "Don't be ignorant of good people's hearts, Chu Kuanjie, this is for your own good. With so many people, how much dividends are left in your hands? Calculate how many years you can survive.  What to do after eating? I'm afraid I have to take my wife and children to beg for food."</p> "The Chu family has a large population, and Master Liu only owns less than 30% of the shares in the pharmacy. My aunt still owns nearly half of it.  After Yue Xiuxiu and her three sons, they get one share, and then they get even less. There are seven or eight children in the Kuan generation, and this does not include the concubine¡¯s son. There are really not many who can get it.  .  </p> "I don't care anyway. Since you have raised me, you must control me to the end." Chu Kuanjie said.  </p> ¡°It¡¯s up to you, I¡¯ll have three meals a day to satisfy you.¡± Mr. Liu¡¯s face suddenly sank: ¡°That¡¯s it, get out of here.¡±</p> Chu Mingshu didn¡¯t speak, he didn¡¯t think so.  This was caused by Chu Mingqiu. How could the old man be manipulated by a five-year-old child? This matter must have been planned by the old man. He has said several times that the children should go out and find something to do, but go out and find something to do.  No one is moving. Let the kid Chu Mingqiu come forward today and add fuel to the flames by forcing them to go out to work.  </p> "It's a good plan, but it's not bad. At least the cowardly son won't be asking for money all day long." </p> After Chu Mingshu formed a public-private partnership, his money was much tighter.  He has two families to support, and his wife also has no job, relying entirely on his dividends.  </p> ¡°I¡¯ll make you laugh,¡± Mr. Liu said with a smile to Chu Yun¡¯s boyfriend: ¡°It¡¯s the first time I come to the door to let you see all these rotten things in the family. There¡¯s nothing I can do about it. Who can let my descendants fail? They want to  It would be nice to be like you."</p>
