He Has a Dragon

With the development of the times, there are fewer and fewer hutongs left from the Yuan and Qing Dynasties. Most of them have been demolished and modern high-rise buildings have been built. 【First release】

On top of the original old alley foundations, there are now identical reinforced concrete buildings everywhere.

In recent years, in order to maintain the city's unique charm and character, some old alleys have been preserved from demolition.

Things are rare and valuable, and because of this, the courtyard houses in the hutong have become priceless.

Xingluo Hutong, as Mu Xiyan said before, most of the courtyard houses here are the residences of veteran cadres who came to Beijing in the past.

However, with the change of time and space, some children of veteran cadres have resold the courtyard houses in these alleys. Most of them were taken over by the local tycoons who first became rich at the end of the last century. bosses.

Perhaps it is precisely because this place is now full of the so-called copper stench that Shajia Hutong, where the star shone in the past, has long since changed, so the authorities changed its name and called it Xingluo Hutong.

When Wang Le held Mu Xiyan in one hand and carried gifts in the other and arrived at the door of the courtyard with the license plate number 117, red lanterns had already been hung on both sides of the door lintel, making it look very simple and festive.

Wang Le handed the invitation in his hand to the middle-aged male servant standing in front of the door, who then respectfully welcomed the two into the courtyard.

When the two of them followed the servant into the yard, it was obvious that Yu Weicheng had bought the courtyards on the left and right sides, opened them up, knocked them down and reorganized them, making the entire yard long and narrow. It is full of flowers, plants and trees, giving it a tranquil feel from the bustling city. Under the bright lights, it feels like a cave.

"Mr. Wang, there are many guests attending the cocktail party today. The boss is unable to move away from the room for a while. Please forgive me."

The middle-aged male servant who was leading the way said politely.

Wang Le smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Yu is my elder, so there is no need to be too outspoken."

In this way, along the path paved with granite among the flowers and plants, the three of them did not go to the main house, but came to a bungalow on the west side with an old blue brick frame and carved wooden windows.

At this time, the pine door brushed with tung oil was not closed, and the laughter and laughter in the room could already be heard before Wang Le came closer.

"Mr. Wang, Miss Mu, please come in." The middle-aged male servant walking in front stepped aside to make way, making an invitation gesture, and said with a smile.

Wang Le nodded and signaled,

He handed the gift in his hand to the male servant, then led Mu Xiyan across the threshold and entered the house.

Yu Weicheng, who was entertaining relatives and friends at this time, saw Wang Le coming in with a beautiful young woman. His eyes lit up immediately, he apologized to the people around him, and went to greet Wang Le and Mu Xiyan.

"Xiao Le, why didn't Professor Ning come with you?"

Yu Weicheng walked up to Wang Le and asked with a smile.

Wang Le smiled and replied: "You also know that she has physical inconveniences, so it is difficult for her to go out."

Then Wang Le continued to introduce to Yu Weicheng: "Uncle Yu, this is my fiancée Mu Xiyan."

Mu Xiyan, who was standing next to Wang Le, took over the conversation and greeted Yu Weicheng with a smile: "Hello, Uncle Yu."

I saw Yu Weicheng looking at Mu Xiyan, as if he had returned to the era when youth was flying and flourishing. He paused for a few seconds before coming back to his senses. There was emotion in his laughter and he praised: "That's it." Only Mu Zhengnan, the school darling of Beijing University, could give birth to such a beautiful daughter."

Immediately, Yu Weicheng looked at Wang Le, laughed and continued: "In today's society, it is said that if you want a good wife, you have to work less for ten years. You are really a great blessing to marry Mu Zhengnan's daughter, but You must know how to cherish it.”

At this time, Wang Le chuckled and replied: "Ten years of hard work. Uncle Yu underestimates my nephew's lazy temperament. If you ask me, there is no need to fight in this life, just enjoy it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Xiyan, who was blushing with embarrassment, glared at Wang Le fiercely. If it hadn't been in public, Miss Mu's delicate hands would have already pinched Young Master Wang's waist.

"Hey, isn't that the grandson-in-law of the Mu family, Wang Le?"

"How come the pretty boy knows Boss Yu? He looks very familiar."

"You are really talking nonsense. Boss Yu and Mu Xiyan's father were old classmates of Beijing University. Of course, the pretty boy can use the influence of his father-in-law to get acquainted with Boss Yu."

In the room, small groups gathered around. Some people who recognized Wang Le and Mu Xiyan, especially the young people who came with the elders, started discussing in low voices.

"Time flies. The last time I saw your father was when he was at the grassroots level in Jiangnan. When he went to the United States for inspection, we met in a coffee shop on the west coast. It has been more than 20 years since then."

Yu Weicheng spoke of Mu Zhengnan with emotion, and then asked Mu Xiyan: "How often does your father return to the capital? I have been in China recently. If possible, I would like to get together with my old classmates." , is also a beautiful thing.”

Mu Xiyan smiled and replied: "My dad has been working hard all his life. Apart from going back to Beijing for meetings, he mostly stayed in Jiangnan. If my family didn't go to Jiangnan, they would rarely see him. Uncle Yu If so, I will call and tell him tomorrow morning."

Yu Weicheng chuckled, and then said: "He is busy with things, so I hope he won't forget me, an old classmate."

Mu Xiyan quickly replied: "My dad often talks to me about the past when he was in college, and he seems to miss it very much. How could he forget Uncle Yu."

"Uh!" Wang Le's face twitched. It was only when his wife was on the road that she found out that Yu Weicheng was his father's college classmate. In addition, he wanted to kill Su Yunping with a gun, which was very taboo.

Obviously, Wang Le didn't believe that his father-in-law would tell anyone about the past in college. You know, this is a scar that is deeply visible.

"Women are really born to be masters of acting!"

Wang Le muttered to himself when he saw his wife telling lies without drafting, as if she was telling the truth.

Yu Weicheng glanced at Wang Le, smiled noncommittally, and said to Mu Xiyan meaningfully: "Time is the touchstone of human nature. After so many years, Uncle Yu also realized that he had underestimated your father. He is better than someone else." There are too many.”

After a pause, a hint of sadness flashed deep in Yu Weicheng's eyes, and he continued: "Those old classmates from back then all underestimated your father."

Wang Le's heart trembled and he remained silent. Mu Xiyan also heard that there was something in Yu Weicheng's words. As for the person the other party was talking about, if he guessed correctly, it was Su Yunping.

PS: There is one more chapter, it will be later, you can read it tomorrow. .
