The Ruins

The man gritted his teeth at the last moment and made some kind of decision. He chased Bai Zirui quickly, shouting urgently: "Young man...Young man, wait a moment."

Bai Zirui heard someone calling him from behind, so he stopped and turned around. He saw Yan Bugui wearing tattered clothes. He called him and caught up with him panting.

Bai Zirui waited for him to come to him, looked him up and down and said teasingly: "Third uncle, you have changed your profession from being a teacher to collecting rags."

The man saw Bai Zirui's joking eyes and said with a smile, "What third uncle? Young man, do you know me? Yes!"

Then he seemed to remember something and suddenly said: "Young man, do you live in the courtyard of the dormitory of the Red Star Rolling Mill at No. 40 Nanluogu Lane?"

Bai Zirui said with some confusion: "Third uncle, we just met in the morning, and you pretended not to recognize me in the afternoon. What kind of fun were you doing?"

The man said with a smile: "Young man, I am not the third uncle in your courtyard. Hou Su'e, who you just helped borrow money from, is my daughter. My surname is Hou, and people call me Popohou."

Bai Zirui was stunned when he heard the man introduce himself and saw that he looked exactly the same as Yanbu Gui.

But he was thinking with excitement in his heart, what is going on? Didn't his soul travel into the TV series "Love in the Courtyard"? But why did the broken man in the TV series "Under the Zhengyang Gate" get in.

He then thought that both TV series told the story of the Four Nine Cities, and the time periods were not far apart. Could it be that the characters in the two TV series all lived on the same land.

Bai Zirui has watched the TV series "Under the Zhengyang Family" and knows that the "Bashahou" in the TV series is the prince's grandson, and his ancestors have passed down many good things.

If you meet a prodigal, you will definitely lose all of them, but Bao Bao Hou is a person who really loves antiques. He would rather pick up tatters than sell these treasures, and he continued to collect antiques throughout his life.

Polanhou is the most open-minded person in the TV series "Under the Zhengyang Family". He doesn't pay much attention to money in his life, but he only loves antiques. He loves his life. His hobby is true love and great love. He has a bottom line and doesn't care about appearance.

People who are not influenced by external things are persistent, measured and kind-hearted.

In the 1970s, Bao Pohou carried a snakeskin bag through the streets, claiming to be collecting tatters but actually collecting antiques. His knowledge of antiques was as good as that of Mr. Guan, the nine-door admiral.

Bai Zirui had planned his future after his soul piercing, which included collecting antiques. However, he was afraid to start because he had been lacking the guidance of a famous teacher. Now he has a master who comes to his door automatically, which makes him happy.

If you get crazy.

Bai Zirui looked at Bao Po Hou happily, his eyes burning as if he were looking at a rare treasure. This look made Bao Po Hou feel a little at a loss.

"Cough...cough" he coughed twice, which woke Bai Zirui up from his excitement.

Bai Zirui pretended not to know him and said: "Old man, I'm sorry, you look so much like the third uncle in our courtyard, I mistakenly identified you as the wrong person. What is your relationship with the third uncle in our third courtyard? Why?

You look exactly the same."

Baolanhou waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "We are three twin brothers from the same mother. Apart from me and the third uncle in your courtyard, there is another one who plays foreign movies at Zhengyangmen."

After Bai Zirui heard what he said, his heart started to stir again, and he wondered if he was talking about Mr. Pian'er from the TV series "Little Women from the Zhengyang Family".

He quickly came to his senses this time. They were all people and things that happened in Sijiu City. They were in the same era. It seemed that he would take some time to go to Xu Huizhen's tavern to see them.

Baolan Hou said curiously: "During the Chinese New Year, we three brothers take turns to go to each house to get together. I have also been to your courtyard. Why haven't I heard that the old third child mention you as a person?"

Bai Zirui replied politely: "Hello, Uncle Hou! I have been in Baoding with my father, and by chance, I have only returned to the courtyard in the past few days."

Broken Hou asked: "You just lent money to my daughter, and she also wrote you an IOU. Why did you throw away the IOU after you left the hospital?"

Bai Zirui asked doubtfully: "Uncle Hou, how do you know so clearly?"

Baolan Hou explained: "I happened to be collecting rags in the alley near my daughter's house. I saw you carrying my useless son-in-law on your back and rushing to the hospital with my daughter. I followed you and saw you.

I lent her money and received an IOU, but why did I throw the IOU away after leaving the hospital?"

Bai Zirui replied without thinking: "Uncle Hou, I originally wanted to give the money to Sister Hou directly, but she refused to accept it, so I had to say that I lent it to her, and she wrote me an IOU before I could accept it with peace of mind.

Come on, I had no intention of asking her to pay back the money, so I threw the IOU away after I left the hospital."

Looking at his sincere face and piercing eyes, he could naturally see that Bai Zirui was not lying. He said solemnly: "Young man, then I will take care of my poor man."

My daughter and useless son-in-law, thank you for your life-saving grace."

After saying that he was going to bow to him, Bai Zirui quickly supported him and said hurriedly: "Uncle Hou, I can't afford this big gift from you. It will shorten my life. It's better to save one life than to save someone."

The seven-level pagoda is a good deed to accumulate virtue, and others would do the same thing."

Baoshahou took out the IOU and said gratefully: "Young man, you have done such a great thing, please let me know your real name!"

Bai Zirui said brightly: "Uncle Hou, you have seen through all this. My name is Bai Zirui, and I am the deputy director of the XXX recycling station under the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office."

After hearing about his work, Bao Pohou's eyes sparkled with inexplicable brilliance. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay! When I'm older, I'll call you Zi Rui! You've helped my daughter so much,

I also want to give you a gift and hope you won’t put it off.”

He put the snakeskin bag on the ground, took out a few thread-bound ancient books and handed them to Bai Zirui. Bai Zirui was very excited when he saw it, and said in a putative manner: "Uncle Hou, what are you doing? I can do it with just a little effort.

Just a favor."

Popohou Hou stuffed several thread-bound ancient books into his arms and said loudly: "Zi Rui, this is a gift that cannot be declined from an elder. There is no reason to take back what I, Popopohou Hou, have given me. Just accept it!"

Bai Zirui pretended to accept it helplessly, but he was ecstatic in his heart. He picked up the book and looked at it: "Ancient Chinese Coins", "Chinese Ceramics", "Chinese Bronze", "Northern Song Dynasty Copper Coins", "Yuan and Ming Dynasty"

"Qing Dynasty", "Antique Appreciation" and other books on identifying antiques.

He roughly browsed through these books, and there were some thoughts and experiences written by Shao Shaohou in them. He said with great joy: "Uncle Hou, these are all treasures you gave to me."

Bao Baohou said with a smile: "I gave it to you. If you don't understand anything, go to the first room on the right after entering No. 137 Rouge Alley where I live."
