    The sun was shining brightly in the yard, and the sun was spreading its heat to the ground. The marble floor reflected the dazzling white light. Chu Mingqiu was sitting on the edge of the door, with a dry leaf floating in the air. He thought of Forrest Gump's feathers, which were  destiny.  Who can control destiny?  Forrest Gump can't, Jenny can't, and Taylor can't.  Forrest Gump obeys fate, Jenny resists fate, and Tyler challenges fate.  But in fact, they were all manipulated by fate. Forrest Gump removed the weeds, Jenny returned, and Taylor, only Taylor, rushed out of the abyss and saw the bright blue sky above.  "Come on! You bastard!" Taylor challenged fate in the storm.  The dead leaves were floating quietly under the scorching sun. There was a gentle noise beside him. Mr. Liu sat down next to him. Neither of them spoke. The old man and the young man guarded the door.  There was no one in the yard. Chu Mingqiu paid attention to this yard for the first time. It turned out that he had always felt that the yard was magnificent. Now he calmed down and observed it, and found that there were still quite a few flaws. No, it should be the marks left by the years.  The paint on the pillars is dry and cracked in some places, the colors on the pictures have lost their luster, the walls have turned slightly yellow, there is a small spider in the corner working hard to build a web, and the flowers in several flowerpots have dried up.  , only thin branches remain.  "You did a good job today." Mr. Liu said in a low voice.  Chu Mingqiu is still looking at the lonely yard silently. He is now very sure that fate has deviated from his imagination. Although the rich second generation is still there, I am afraid that there is no hope for the dandy. At most, he will be a little rich.  "Are you buying the house back?" "No, it's for Kuan Yuan." "Really? Why do I feel like I've done something stupid and suffered a loss." "Suffering a loss is taking advantage." There was another silence, and the two of them moved.  They were exactly the same, sitting on the threshold with their legs wrapped around their knees, their eyes dull and lifeless.  "Why are you thinking of buying the yard back?" After a while of silence, the dead leaves were still floating and the sun was still shining brightly.  "This is the Chu family's house." With a hint of anger.  "You're still living with someone else," he said a bit jokingly.  "But the master is me." Liu Ye showed a smile that he hadn't seen for several days, lit up his pipe, and a cloud of smoke rose up. Under the breeze, the smoke quickly dispersed, and Chu Mingqiu coughed twice.  In his previous life, he smoked but was not addicted to it. He was not disgusted with the smell of smoke, but every time he smelled the smell of smoke, his throat couldn't help but feel itchy.  "Why are you two sitting here? There's a tight traffic jam. Get up, get up, make way." Yue Xiuxiu complained from behind. She and Doujiao each held a pile of things and were about to go out.  Chu Mingqiu turned his head and looked, quickly stood up, turned around and pulled Master Liu up again. The two changed positions and sat on the porch, looking at the empty yard and watching Yue Xiuxiu and the others being busy.  "Are you waiting for someone?" Mr. Liu seemed to have just realized it now and frowned slightly.  Chu Mingqiu nodded slightly: "Second brother should come here." A smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Liu's mouth, he puffed out smoke slowly and squinted at the empty yard: "I'm too anxious, he won't do it today, and in the future  Be more patient when doing things. " Mr. Liu was right. Chu Mingdao didn't come until the third day.  Chu Kuanmin did not want to go to Hong Kong and wanted to stay in Yanjing, which made it difficult for Chu Mingdao to separate the family.  Chu Kuanjie didn't want the shares. If he wanted the shares, he could only let Chu Kuanmin collect them and then send them to them. But Chu Kuanjie didn't believe Chu Kuanmin, so he refused to ask for the shares. The shares could all be given to Chu Kuanmin, but  Chu Kuanmin was asked to give up all cash, jewelry and antiques, but Chu Kuanmin was unwilling.  The two had a big quarrel in front of Chu Mingdao. In the end, Chu Kuanjie used his trump card and proposed that if Chu Kuanmin insisted on cash, the family property would be divided equally, but their dividends would be entrusted to Liu Ye and Chu Mingqiu.  This struck a chord with Chu Kuanmin. The reason why Chu Kuanmin insisted on asking for cash was because the dividends could not be taken away. They could only send it to Hong Kong by themselves, and they could manipulate it.  This time Chu Kuanmin made a concession and proposed that he only needed 10% of the family's cash, and the rest would go to Chu Kuanjie and Chu Dai.  Chu Kuanjie took advantage of the victory and demanded that the real estate and antiques be cashed in. The real estate could not be taken away, and the antiques could not be taken away either. The country had regulations and antiques were not allowed to leave the country.  "Second brother, these are all good things, but I can't afford them." Chu Mingqiu looked at the long list in front of him and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Chu Mingdao did it very carefully, including the price of each house and the price of each antique.  Price, how much is the total price, list them all.  "Third brother, the fertilizer and water are still in the hands of outsiders. We can still discuss the price." Chu Mingdao's attitude was very sincere.  Chu Mingqiu hesitated but still shook his head: "Second brother, I can buy a house, but this antique is?Good things, this Tang Dynasty tricolor and this Song Huizong's painting are rare things on the market. If you give them a low price, you are taking advantage of others. If you give them a high price, I can't afford them either.  " I really can't afford it this time. All the antiques in the house cost more than 200,000 yuan. With Chu Mingqiu's current wealth, I really can't afford it. " Chu Mingdao also understands Chu Mingqiu's family background, but he doesn't put his hope in it.  The trust is placed on Chu Mingqiu, mainly on the people behind Chu Mingqiu. ¡°Third brother, you can ask grandpa and grandma if they can  " Chu Mingqiu lowered his head and thought about it. He really couldn't bear to part with these things. These things are only more than 200,000 yuan now, and they will be more than 2 billion in the future. With these alone, they will be enough for him to live and drink in the future. He ran to Chu Mingdao's list.  In front of Mr. Liu and Yue Xiuxiu, he first asked how much money he had left, and then handed the list to Mr. Liu and said that he wanted to buy them all. Mr. Six picked out seven or eight items: "Let him choose the others.  Take it out and sell it, and you won¡¯t want it anymore.  "Seeing Chu Mingqiu's somewhat disappointed expression, Mr. Liu seemed to have guessed his thoughts and added: "You are not allowed to go to your mother, and you don't want any antiques.  " Chu Mingqiu took a look at the antiques left by Master Six. They were indeed good things. Chu Mingdao also knew the goods, and the prices were high. Adding up these things, he had enough money of his own, so he didn't need to find another drama fanatic.  However, Chu Mingqiu finally asked Yue Xiuxiu to get money to buy Chu Kuanmin's house. Chu Kuanmin didn't want to live in Chu Mansion anymore. He also had a small courtyard outside, which was quite close to where Xie Zhulan worked. He  I wanted to move there, so I sold the house to Chu Mingqiu. The Chu Mansion became lively. After Chu Kuanyuan reported it to the district, the district quickly sent people to check. The east courtyard could be lived in directly, but the west courtyard needed to be repaired.  After Chu Mingqiu found out, he insisted on paying for it. Chu Kuanyuan couldn't resist him, so he had to agree. Fortunately, there were not many areas that needed repair, and they were repaired quickly. Soon, the cadres of the guest house and office came.  Then they moved in. Chu Kuanyuan did not break his promise to the servants who had left the Chu Mansion, and arranged work for them. Everyone suffered no loss. Butler Xiao Zhao went to Tangshan and came back after a week.  I left him a side courtyard in the Chu Mansion and let him live there. Every day he got up early as before, went to the kitchen and looked around in the yard. He found that it was not clean, so he  He started to sweep, and if it was not good, he would find someone to repair it. He still performed the duties of a housekeeper. Chu Mingdao really had to leave. When Chu Mingqiu celebrated his sixth birthday and Xiangshan turned red, he went to Hong Kong to apply for approval.  When he came down, he was accompanied by Chu Minghe from Dafang. It is not easy to go abroad in this era. Leaving the socialist motherland and joining a capitalist country will be regarded as betrayal. Without legitimate reasons, all applications will be rejected.  Chu Mingdao's successful application was mainly due to the letter from Hong Kong and Liu Ye's influence, both of which are indispensable. Chu Mingdao's yard is now in a mess and there is not much luggage. Chu Mingdao may have expected the difficulty after arriving in Hong Kong.  While waiting for approval, he was swindled by sellers everywhere. His set of rosewood furniture was bought by Chu Mingqiu, his fur coat was bought by Chang Xinlan, and the antiques that Chu Mingqiu didn't want were finally sold.  Went. Chu Mingqiu went to visit several times, but never saw Chu Kuanmin. Chu Kuanjie was a little embarrassed to see him, but Chu Dai was a little reluctant and kissed Chu Kuanmin several times.  Dai gave him the piano, and the clothes she couldn't take away were given to Sui'er and Daukou. Chu Dai and Chu Kuanjie didn't have any girls now. They could have stayed after they dismissed the servants last time, but they learned that Chu Kuan  Yuan came forward to arrange the work, so they asked to go with them. Chu Kuanjie and Chu Dai did not stay. It was Yue Xiuxiu who sent Doukou here for the past two months, so there was no chaos here. "Uncle Zhao, please leave Kuanjie alone.  Chu Dai accept it yourself. It's amazing that you are so young at such an old age.  "When Chu Mingqiu came in, he saw Manager Xiao Zhao moving boxes there. Manager Xiao Zhao often comes here. Although Chu Mingdao is leaving, no one knows whether he will come back in the future, but in his eyes, Xiao Zhao is still the young master.  The manager struggled to move the box into position, then panted and turned around and said: "Little"  What are you saying, young master? I'm not old yet, I can still move.  After he finished speaking, he said to Chu Kuanjie and Chu Dai: "Master Jie, Miss Dai, don't worry about where you are going, don't worry about when. Our Chu family cannot be slovenly or mess up our Chu family's airs."  " Chu Dai's face was slightly red, and Chu Kuanjie looked a little embarrassed. In addition to their brothers and sisters, there were three children and two women in the yard. These were Chu Mingdao's two concubines and their children. This time Chu Mingdao removed them from the house.  "Brother-in-law."  "The three children came to salute. Although they were about to leave, Chu Mingdao still led them into the Chu Mansion. They met the Sixth Master and the Sixth Mrs.It is to recognize their identity and officially write their names into the genealogy.  Chu Mingqiu obviously felt that Chu Mingdao had introduced the Chu family to them in advance. The three children and two sisters-in-law did not look down on him at all because of his age. On the contrary, the three children were respectful whenever they saw him.  There are three children, one son and two daughters. According to Chu Mingqiu's observation, Chu Dai can get along well with the two girls, but Chu Kuanjie is obviously wary of them.  "It seems that Chu Mingdao is desperate," Chu Mingqiu thought in his heart. The future of going to Hong Kong was uncertain, and he actually brought the whole family with him. Alas, Chu Mingqiu couldn't help but shake his head.  There was a pile of books on the table. Chu Mingqiu flipped through them. Most of them were novels, and a few were Chu Dai's piano scores. After flipping through a few books, a few hard-cover books next to them attracted his attention.  , when I opened it, it turned out that it was not a book but a stamp album.  In his previous life, one of his middle school classmates loved stamp collecting and would often go there to buy stamps. Their homes were very close to each other and they often walked together after school. From him, he learned a lot about stamps, such as the fact that mountains and rivers all over the country become red once, which is worth thousands of gold.  Monkey stamps, etc. Of course, that guy doesn¡¯t have such stamps.  Chu Mingqiu carefully looked through these stamps and found that there were quite a lot of them. There were five thick volumes below, all kinds of them, from China, from foreign countries, from the Republic of China period, from the Anti-Japanese War period, from the Beiyang period, and from the Manchu and Qing dynasties.  Period, almost all.  "Third uncle also likes stamps?" Chu Mingqiu turned around and saw Chu Mingdao's aunt. She was about thirty-five or sixty-six, tall and slightly plump. It was obvious that she was a beauty. Chu Mingqiu was interested in Chu Mingdao's choice of women.  I admire him very much, all three of his women are beauties.  "I don't understand, I just think it looks pretty." Chu Mingqiu looked at his aunt with a little shyness: "Is this collected by my second brother?" The aunt hummed softly, seeing Chu Mingqiu's expression a little shy,  She couldn't help but smile sweetly, but as soon as she smiled, Chu Mingqiu noticed a few lines of wrinkles forming in the corners of her eyes.  "Well, both he and the eldest sister like to play this. My third sister and I helped him find a lot of stamps." He pointed to a foreign stamp on it: "This is from Germany. You see it is printed in German.  I got this for him in Qingdao. This one is from France and was sent to me by my French friend. "My aunt obviously doesn't know much about stamps, so she only knows about the period and where they came from.  I don't know about the others.  "Aren't you going to take these away?" Chu Mingqiu asked.  The aunt said humbly: "Those antique fur coats have been sold. Who still carries these? I heard that the amount of luggage for airplanes is limited, so these books and stamps have to be lost." The tone of the aunt was very regretful:  "Mingdao said that he started collecting these stamps when he was seven or eight years old. Alas, it's a pity." Chu Mingqiu looked around: "Is the second brother here?" After saying what he said, Chu Mingdao's voice came from the yard: "  What are you guys doing? Uncle Zhao is busy at such an old age, but you are hiding there and don't know how to help. You are just watching, and you still want to be a young master. " "Don't mind, he is very angry recently.  It's a bit big." The aunt quickly explained to him.  Chu Mingqiu shook his head and said: "Second brother is right. The Chu family has been separated. When they arrive in Hong Kong, they are no longer young masters and young ladies. If they can't endure hardship, sister-in-law, I'm afraid there will be no good results from this trip." Auntie Tai was a little surprised.  Chu Mingdao once said that his third brother was very precocious. Although he was young, he was very sensible. He had seen him at his house a few times and didn't think anything was wrong. But today, he suddenly said such reasonable words, and she began to believe it.  Chu Mingdao said it.  "Third brother, come here, I am such a mess," Chu Mingdao greeted Chu Mingqiu when he came in. Then he saw the stamp album spread out and couldn't help but smile: "Why, you also like stamp collecting?" "I just turned it over.  "Yeah, I thought it was books," Chu Mingqiu said, "I didn't expect you actually like collecting stamps." "Yes, my eldest brother likes to smoke cigarettes, and you like to play the piano and sing operas. I'm not interested in these. This is just my hobby.  As for this stamp, you were the matchmaker between your sister-in-law and I. She and I both loved collecting stamps and often exchanged them with each other." Chu Mingdao stroked the stamp album sadly, being very careful not to touch the stamps, as if he was recalling those years.  time.  "Where's my sister-in-law? Why didn't I see her?" Chu Mingqiu looked outside and didn't see Lian Xiaodan.  "She went home and will come back tomorrow." Chu Mingdao said, closing the stamp album as if closing a door, and sighed heavily: "Oh, there have been too many things in these years, and I don't care about these anymore. In fact, these are all  "It's a precious thing." "Second sister-in-law said you won't take these stamps with you, is that true?" Chu Mingqiu asked. Chu Mingdao didn't answer. He gently rubbed his fingers on the stamp album, which was gentler than touching a woman's skin  "If you don't take it away, then sell it to me." Chu Mingqiu originally wanted to give it to me, but seeing Chu Mingdao's expression, he couldn't bear it.  Chu Mingdao struggled for a long time, as if it was difficult to choose. After a long time, he regretted and said: "How can I sell my beloved things? I will give them to you. You must treat them well and never sell them." Chu Mingqiu looked slightly surprised.  Looking at Chu Mingdao, he originally thought that Chu Mingdao just liked money, but he didn't expect that there was such a good thing. It seems that everyone has another side.  "Don't worry, second brother, I'll continue to collect it." Chu Mingqiu smiled sillyly. When will National Mountain and River Red be released?  If you buy a 70-year-old edition, you can probably sell it for hundreds of thousands in the future.  What a good era!  Baoduo!  People are stupid!  Come quickly!  Two days later, Chu Mingdao and his whole family bid farewell to Liu Ye and Yue Xiuxiu, and boarded a plane to Guangzhou. From Guangzhou to Shenzhen, they went to Hong Kong via Luohu Port.
