Zhu Yu brought the old man and his parents to the capital.
Zhu Fei didn't come, saying he wanted to guard the house - he said he had been here before.
The family didn't talk about him anymore. After all, they raised pigs and chickens at home and had to take care of the vegetable plot. If he didn't come, he didn't come.
Cao Dalong helped book a five-star hotel not far from the Forbidden City early.
"I'm not going to eat fried noodles. Let's go to the Forbidden City first!" The old man was in good spirits, not looking like someone who was almost 80 years old at all. He entered the hotel, cleaned up briefly, and checked that the time was okay, then he said.
Now that the old man has spoken, the family rushed directly to the Forbidden City.
Zhu Yu meant to buy tickets directly, but the old man seemed to be very experienced and said:
"No, let's go in and just watch the excitement, that won't work. Let's sign up for a small group, a one-day tour, and have someone explain it. That would be interesting!"
Zhu Yu followed his kindness and immediately went to sign up for the one-day tour, and then his family of four followed the tour into the Forbidden City.
Previously, Zhu Yu's impression of the Forbidden City was far less than that of the Military Museum or the National Museum.
In his opinion, visiting these places is the real way to have a good time.
However, it felt good to follow the tour guide and listen and watch all the way. At least I have a deep understanding of many things in the Forbidden City.
After coming out, the old man said with emotion:
"It was a worthwhile trip! I got my wish - but I was in a hurry. I didn't feel like I had seen enough in one day. I just glanced at everything."
"Then let's stay a few more days and take a good look." Zhu Yu thought to himself that this was nothing, even if he stayed at home, there would be nothing wrong, and it would be nothing if he just stayed here for half a year.
"Forget it, let's go see other things, such as the National Museum you have been talking about. By the way, I also want to see the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth..."
After the old man arrived here, he started talking more.
"It's hard to get to Tiananmen Square now, but it would be nice to go up there and have a look..."
Listening to the old man's words, Zhu Yu's heart moved.
Living in the hotel, both the old man and Zhu Dahe and his wife felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Yu, I heard that there are short-term rental houses nearby, with two bedrooms and one living room or three bedrooms and one living room. Let's rent them for half a month. It's better than living here."
Zhu Shoushan said this to Zhu Yu.
"That's right, living here is comfortable, but I can't cook and it's not convenient to eat anything..." Zhu Dahe got his wife's advice and had some ideas about living here.
The key is that it's too expensive.
"Okay, you go around first, I'll go and ask around." Zhu Yu understood the elders' thoughts and knew that they were not suitable for staying in a hotel.
Then change it!
He immediately contacted the agent.
"Buying a house? Near the Forbidden City? What kind of demand do you have?"
The other party was very professional, so Zhu Yu expressed his thoughts:
"I want to buy a courtyard house, preferably in the second ring road. It's a well-decorated one, not necessarily original, with modern facilities, just the same old one."
"What about the price?" The agent was very happy upon hearing this. This request is simply their ideal type!
"Let the price follow the market trend, it can be hundreds of millions or more."
Thanks to Yang Xiong, with the money Zhu Yu had recently received, he thought he would be able to buy a suitable courtyard house.
Since the old man wants to live here, he cannot live in a building.
Although grandpa is relatively old, he is actually in pretty good health. There are not many people at this age who can catch fish in the water without arranging a fork.
But I am used to it in the countryside and cannot live in buildings at all, so naturally I want to buy a bungalow - in the second ring road, if you want to see the Forbidden City and buy a bungalow, the best choice, in Zhu Yu's opinion, is a courtyard house.
"Since there is no problem with the price, we have several options here. Mr. Zhu, you can take a look."
The other party gave information about three courtyard houses, and Zhu Yu fell in love with the big one at a glance.
This is a set of courtyards belonging to the royal family during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. It is located on Di'anmen West Street, with a construction area of more than 10,000 square meters and an area of more than 6,000 square meters. It is about one kilometer away from the Palace Museum and can be reached on foot.
This courtyard is an antique courtyard building, but it has been modernized. It has three floors above ground and three floors underground, with housing, theater, swimming pool, underground parking lot, etc.
Although it was owned by the Manchu royal family, it was renovated after liberation and changed hands many times. Now there is no problem of cultural relics and can be traded normally.
Zhu Yu thinks this courtyard is better!
Mainly because the place is big!
Although it feels too spacious to live in, this thing retains its value!
But the price is a bit exaggerated, 1.4 billion!
The other two courtyards are also good, but they are a little far apart, and they are both courtyards that you enter.
Although there is a large locust tree in one of the courtyards that is several hundred years old and looks like an umbrella, Zhu Yu doesn't like it very much.
He remembered that the old man Zhu Shoushan said that it was the custom in his hometown not to plant these five ghost trees in the yard.
But the old man liked the Sophora japonica very much - so he planted several Purple Sophora japonica trees outside the courtyard in front of his house.
Zhu Yu pointed at the two courtyards and said:
"Can you still buy both of these places?"
"Yes, yes!" Seeing that Zhu Yu had circled the biggest one and the one with the most ancient charm, the intermediary couldn't speak clearly.
No matter how you look at it, the person in front of you doesn't seem like someone who can afford such a large courtyard house!
So he carefully said in a tone that would not make Zhu Yu angry:
"Sir, I'm sorry, if you go to see the house, we have to verify the capital first. This is the owner's requirement..."
"No problem. I understand this." Zhu Yu naturally would not deliberately embarrass others, and his service was very considerate.
As imagined, there is no such thing as a dog looking down upon others in a bloody story!
Zhu Yu handed over the card, and the agent checked it in the machine. When he saw so many zeros and numbers behind the card, the agent's eyes widened!
This guy really... has a lot of money!
He handed the card to Zhu Yu with both hands:
"Mr. Zhu, when will we look at the house?"
"Stay here for a while, I'll get the old man on board. This time I'm buying a house mainly for the old man."
"Okay, okay." The agent immediately said, "Then wait a moment, I'll drive!"
The agent quickly ran to ask the manager for instructions, then drove out the most luxurious Mercedes-Benz car in the company, and then drove Zhu Yu to the hotel, picked up the old man and Zhu Dahe and his wife, and went to see the courtyard together.
"You want to buy a courtyard house?" Mr. Zhu Shoushan was a little confused. "Why bother? Can't we just rent a suite?"
"It's okay, it's okay. If we buy this, we can live here if we want. If not, it's an investment. It's better than staying upstairs. At least it's grounded!"
Zhu Dahe and his wife didn't talk. Since Zhu Yu left, he has a more positive idea and can make money. Besides, with the old man here, they can't say much.
"Okay, let's take a look." The old man was also very curious about the courtyard house and wanted to take a look.
The agent first took him to see the royal courtyard. After only walking around for a while, the old man waved his hand and said:
"It's too big. In winter, even just sweeping the snow can't sweep it away..."
The agent thought to himself, after spending 1.4 billion to buy a yard, he still has to clear the snow by himself? Invite someone!
But he didn't dare to say this for fear of offending Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"Let's look at another set and then talk about it after finishing it."
When he arrived at the other apartment, he looked at the courtyard and Zhu Shoushan nodded and said:
"This courtyard is elegant! It's not big, and it looks like the original owner was also a scholar. It's quite nice..."
"But this tree..." Zhu Yu hesitated, "Also, this place is not close to the Forbidden City..."
"What are you afraid of? There is a subway and a taxi!" the old man said, "Xiaoyu, if we want to buy something, let's buy this one. That one is too big and makes us uncomfortable living in it!"
Besides, didn’t I just say that it was built by the Manchu royal family, and it would not be good for our old Zhu family to live there! "
Well, the old man can pull it off, and Zhu Yu can't refute it anymore, so it's settled.
Although the agent was a little regretful that Zhu Yu and the others did not buy the big one, after all, the commission was higher!
But it is very good that Zhu Yu can buy this. This one is much smaller than that one, but because of its cultural heritage and reputation, this set costs almost 400 million!
Just when Zhu Yu was asking the agent something, the agent's phone rang.
Zhu Yu could tell that the other party asked him when he would come back, saying that there were still people who wanted to see this courtyard house.
This actually made Zhu Yu think that this courtyard might be more popular.
Okay then, after the agent hung up the phone, Zhu Yu said to the agent:
"We want this courtyard. What are the procedures?"
This is the first time the agent has seen that buying a courtyard house is so exciting, and the excitement feels like pie in the sky!

Zhu Yu could understand his feelings. This transaction of almost 400 million yuan, the commission alone could make him a rich man instantly.
The formalities were completed quickly. After the completion, the old man Zhu Shoushan and Zhu Dahe entered the courtyard.
"It looks clean, but I still need to clean it up and set off some firecrackers..."
"It's a rule not to fire cannons," Zhu Yu reminded.
The old man said regretfully:
"What kind of rules are these? Many things left by our ancestors are gone...Looking at how nice the day is, firing two cannons won't affect it at all, right?"
Although he complained like this, he could only listen to Zhu Yu and used electronic firecrackers instead.
Zhu Shoushan and Zhu Dahe were a little uncomfortable with suddenly having such a big yard in the capital, but they entered the situation very quickly. After seeing it, they immediately started cleaning it.
The yard was bought, and there was flat land right outside the door. Now the old man was very happy.
In the next few days, I walked around the capital every day, visiting every scene for a day or two, watching the excitement. When I got tired, I would rest in the yard, just like at home.
"This is tourism!" Sitting on a deck chair in the yard, the old man held a purple clay pot and said while drinking tea: "The capital is just different... I heard that there are five elements in the center of the four sides. , I don’t know now…”
Seeing the old man's contented look, Zhu Yu suddenly felt that all the hard work and dangers he had endured by making so much money were not in vain.
Why are you working so hard? Isn't it just for yourself and your family to live a happier life?
Now, that's fine.
Next, Zhu Yu stayed with his family in the capital for half a month before going to Da Dao.
"This place is not good!" As soon as he entered the island, the old man was unhappy. "It's too hot and uncomfortable. It's not as comfortable as the small courtyard in the capital!"
"But the entire island belongs to our family." Zhu Yu was very happy, "You can do whatever you want - do you want to go to the sea at night? There are so many things!"
"Really? You have to go!" The older the old man got, the more playful he became. He was naturally happy when he heard that he could catch fish in the sea.
"Xiaoyu, do you think such a big island really belongs to us?"
"Of course!" Zhu Yu said with a smile, "But this island is too big. Someone suggested that I do tourism here. You see, there are so many people on the island, all coming here for tourism."
At this time, Pu Lanlan had already driven over in a battery car.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, let me introduce to you. This is my girlfriend Pu Lanlan. She is here to take care of the travel affairs."
When they heard that she was Zhu Yu's girlfriend, Zhu Shoushan and Zhu Dahe looked at Zhu Yu in surprise, and then looked at Pu Lanlan.
Although Pu Lanlan received Zhu Yu's promise, now that she heard Zhu Yu tell his family his identity in person, a burst of surprise filled her heart, and then she stepped forward to say hello with both shame and joy:
"Hello grandpa! Hello uncle, hello aunt! Just call me Lanlan."
"Okay." Zhu Shoushan was the first to react, "Xiaoyu is really lucky to have your help. Come on, let's get in the car and walk around the island - this island is really big!"
"Well, Lan Lan, thank you for your hard work." Zhu Dahe and his wife also realized that they don't understand the world of young people, so don't worry about it so much. Let them figure it out on their own.
Pu Lanlan happily took Zhu Yu's family around the island and took good care of them. The weather is hot, there are cold drinks, juice, and tea. The air conditioner in the car is turned on properly. The clothes are already prepared, and the place where you live is packed.
During this period, people came to report work to Pu Lanlan from time to time. Zhu Shoushan and Zhu Dahe could also see that Zhu Yu's "girlfriend" was considered a strong woman, but her attitude towards them was very low.
So Zhu Dahe took the time to pull Zhu Yu aside and whispered:
"This girl is good. We don't know the situation between you, but don't let her down. She is so powerful, but she is willing to take care of our family..."
Zhu Yu knew that his family was kind and didn't think too much, so he whispered:
"I saved her life. Otherwise, he might just be a vase in other people's homes..."
Zhu Dahe shook his head and stopped talking. In fact, my wife asked me to relay this to Zhu Yu.
In the early morning, Zhu Yu woke up Mr. Zhu Shoushan and went to catch the biggest tide on the beach together.
The place where Zhu Yu and the others live is enclosed, and there is a beach here that is not open to the public.
The tide had just gone down. The old man and Zhu Yu, who were wearing headlamps, were carrying buckets and tongs. They looked at the fish and crabs that were turned up on the beach from time to time. They looked at each other. They were not chasing the sea, they were clearly picking them up. Fish!
If this continues, there will be a big bucket in no time!
"Xiao Yu, this island is not bad!" The old man was stunned for a moment, then said to Zhu Yu with a smile, "At least there is no shortage of seafood."
Later, Zhu Yu discovered that the old man actually preferred to go to the sea with the tourists on the island. There were so many people and it was lively. The old man often asked those people how the island was, and he would laugh happily when he heard compliments.
Children, it’s so easy to be happy!
Then Zhu Yu received a call from Ran Jie - trouble is coming!
