With this thing, he can keep it for himself or give it as a gift to build relationships. In short, it has many uses!

For the sake of this treasure, He Laosan helped his mother-in-law move into the new house, running around and being very diligent.

If you don't know He Laosan, you would think he is a very filial person and has a harmonious relationship with his wife's family!

Aunt Su and Lin Lao Er, together with a dozen servants and three carriages, entered the newly rented courtyard.

This new courtyard is not big, with only two entrances, front and back.

It just so happened that the male servants lived in the front yard and the female servants lived in the back yard.

Although this courtyard is small in size, it is well maintained.

When I came in, every place was clean, and the servants sent by Lin Yanniang were already cleaning.

The best thing is that the location of this small courtyard is very good.

It is located at the junction of the east and west of the city.

It only takes a quarter of an hour to get to Duke He's Mansion by carriage.

If you want to stroll and shop in the most prosperous place in the capital, it only takes two incense sticks of time to walk there.

There are many rich people in the east of the city, and many powerful people in the west.

This small courtyard is located at the junction. Normally, those ruffians don't dare to come here, so it is quiet and safe.

Lin Yanniang still felt a little guilty.

"Mother, please stay here for a few days. I will move to a better place when I find one."

The main reason was that Aunt Su and the others came too hastily.

The prices of houses in good locations in Beijing are rising year by year, and they are in great demand whether for purchase or rental.

Therefore, even though Lin Yanniang was willing to pay a high price and found several reliable middlemen, she finally found such a small courtyard with two entrances.

Otherwise, according to her idea, the worst case scenario should be a three-courtyard house.

Aunt Su looked around the outer and inner courtyards and felt quite satisfied.

Although the area is small, this is Beijing. How can a first-tier city compare with a sixth- or seventh-tier city?

He waved his hand and said, "Why bother? Just live here. It's troublesome to move around."

Although the yard is small, it is a new place after all. The two little kids, Shan Jie'er and Hu Ge'er, followed her around and were very excited. They secretly pulled Lin Yan'niang and said that they wanted to stay and live with their grandmother.

If He Laosan hadn't come, Lin Yanniang would have agreed without even thinking about it.

Isn’t He Laosan still here?

Lin Yanniang looked at He Laosan with embarrassment.

He Laosan was in a state of mind where he had just obtained a rare treasure and wanted to find a place where no one was around to think about it carefully, so he was particularly understanding.

"My mother-in-law lives here alone, so I'll leave Sister Shan and Brother Hu to accompany her and chat with her..."

The couple chatted with their mother-in-law and brother-in-law in the new house for a while. The servants had already cleaned up the bedroom and living room.

He Laosan was generous and magnanimous. He asked his attendant to book two tables at a restaurant outside. One table of high-quality food was for his family to share with Aunt Su and Lin Laoer, and the other table of ordinary food was for the servants to eat and drink.

At the banquet, He Laosan spoke wittily and talked cheerfully, telling his mother-in-law and his wife's brother about the customs and practices of the capital.

Even Sister Shan and Brother Hu, who have grown up together, have never heard their father say so many words in person.

Finally, as it was getting dark, He Laosan and Lin Yanniang got on the carriage and returned home.

He Laosan entered the Weirui Courtyard, sat in the main room, and chatted with Lin Yanniang for a few words. He wanted to find out more about the Hu merchant, but unfortunately, Aunt Xiu sent someone to invite He Laosan before he could even finish his tea.

Anyway, either something happened or someone was sick.

Lin Yanniang is almost tired of watching these dramas.

He immediately laughed and said, "Third Master, go over and take a look. Aunt Xiu's matter is more urgent!"

He Laosan smiled awkwardly, drank another cup of tea, and then found an excuse to leave.

He went to visit Aunt Xiu and naturally knew that Aunt Xiu was just looking for an excuse to look for him. He said a few words to her casually, and left in a hurry, thinking about his new treasure.

Aunt Xiu stood at the gate of the courtyard, staring at He Laosan's receding back.

He turned around and complained to the old woman beside him.

"Third Master must be fed up with my place. He just said a few words and he's leaving like a ghost is chasing him!"

"I heard that the old lady from the Third Madam's family has come to Beijing!"

Aunt Xiu curled her lips and said, "You can't stay in your hometown anymore, so you come to Beijing to live with our Third Madam?"

"It just means our master is kind-hearted and polite."

The old woman was busy trying to please him.

"Who says he isn't? Our Third Master is the kindest and softest person."

Aunt Xiu wanted to say more mocking words, but she was at the door after all, and was afraid of being heard and blamed, so she had to shut up unwillingly.

But in my heart I was thinking of Sister Shan and Brother Hu whom I met yesterday.

It's okay that Shan Jie'er looks like a wild girl who can fight a tiger, but Hu Ge'er actually looks a lot tougher!

Isn't this really infuriating?

He Laosan, who left in a hurry, was neither at Aunt Xiu's house nor at Weirui Courtyard, but returned to his own courtyard.

He went straight to his study, had two lamps lit, took out his new watch, and played with it carefully under the lamp.

After all, he was too embarrassed to act like an inexperienced person under the eyes of his mother-in-law!

I only saw the thick chain of the watch, and I had no idea what kind of craftsmanship it was made of. It looked golden on the outside, so it should be at least covered with a layer of gold.

The crystal dial is sparkling, smooth to the touch, and flawless. The lid can be opened by turning the small mechanism next to it.

On the inside of the lid, a pair of chubby boys and girls were grinning at him... Huh?

He Laosan rubbed his eyes.

This boy and girl seem familiar!

Aren’t these Sister Shan and Brother Hu?

He Laosan opened his mouth, a little confused.

He stretched out his finger in disbelief and touched it gently.

This doesn't seem to be painted on!

How did it get there?

And how could it be drawn so like?

And didn’t my mother-in-law say that this was sold to him by a Hu merchant who came to Tongcheng?

Could it be that Hu Shang had such ability that after seeing his two children, he could find a way to print their portraits?

What a wonderful and magical technique this is?

He spent a full quarter of an hour just looking at this miniature painting.

I really can’t put it down!

In the past ten years, he has actually not spent as much time looking after his two children as he does today.

After looking at the small painting, I went to look at the watch dial.

Remembering what Lin Yanniang had told him about how the time was indicated on the dial, he spread out some paper, took a pen, and worked it out. Only then did he understand how the watch indicated the time!

Oh!

A divine object!

This, this, this is definitely a rare treasure!

He Laosan understood how to tell time on this dial and was so overjoyed that he stood up and walked around the room several times.

Unfortunately, it was already dark and he couldn't go to show off to his brothers and friends. He could only be proud of himself in his own room.

He sat down again and continued to admire the gold watch.

He had looked at the cover and dial of the watch, but hadn't looked at the back case yet.

He casually turned over the watch case and saw that there seemed to be some words engraved on the back case?

Huh?

He held the watch up to the light and squinted at it.

The first thing I saw was the word "Congratulations".

Had my mother-in-law already decided to give this rare treasure to me?

He Laosan's heart suddenly felt warm!

Even Madam He, his biological mother, had never been so kind to him!

Then he saw the second word, "Lin?"

And the third and fourth words, "Forever Good?"

These four words together mean, He Lin Yonghao!

He Laosan stared at these four tiny words, and his mind became complicated.

His old mother-in-law is such a loving mother with a caring heart!

The portraits of the two children are carved on the inside of the lid, and these four words are engraved on the back shell... It is not difficult to guess the intention.

Isn't it just hoping that her only daughter can live in harmony with her son-in-law and that they can get along well with each other?

The rarer the watch is, the more he will not want to part with it for even a moment.

But as soon as he opened it and checked the time, he could see Sister Shan and Brother Hu.

You can see those four words: Congratulations, Lin Yonghao!

He Laosan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly...

What He Laosan didn't know was that his mother-in-law was also talking about him at this time.

Aunt Su was gossiping with Su Heiya about He Lao San.

"You know what, he looks pretty intimidating, and he looks like a decent person. He must have grown up in a wealthy family."

"If I didn't know his background, I would definitely think he was a perfect son-in-law!"

Su Juanjuan also looked excited.

"Mom, what was He Lao San's reaction when he saw that big gold watch?"

As for that big gold watch, it was when Aunt Su decided to come to Beijing that the mother and daughter thought about it and decided to come up with this gift.

Although this large gold watch is a high-end imitation of a famous brand and has excellent quality, it is more durable than the original. However, in modern times, this kind of mechanical watch is no longer popular, and it only costs one or two hundred yuan online.

Not only is it only a hundred or two hundred yuan, you can also get it customized if you pay a little more!

Well, although the value of this gift is not as high as the music box given to Hu Ge'er, the mischievous Su Juanjuan still came up with the idea of ​​this limited skin.

The purpose is to make this guy remind himself every time he looks at the time that he still has a son and a daughter, and a wife named Lin!

And since the skin is limited edition, He Laosan can't give this big gold watch to someone else even if he wants to.

"His reaction can't be compared with Hu Ge'er! Hu Ge'er learned how to tell time after just listening once. From the way he looked, I think he didn't understand. He needs to go back and think about it carefully!"

"Besides, that kid is still pretending to be calm. He is obviously very curious, but he has to pretend to be calm!"

"I guess he hasn't even realized that this big gold watch has a limited edition skin!"

The big gold watch is indeed valuable in this era, but since it is on He Laosan, he can only look at it and cannot give it to others or sell it.

"He is such a good son-in-law today! He helped me move and booked the banquet. During the meal, he also told me several interesting stories about the capital!"

Su Heiya was delighted when she heard this, "Mom, this one hundred and twenty dollars is well worth it!"

"But mom, have you figured out how to deal with this guy?"

Aunt Su shook her head. "I did want to do it, but it's a little hard to do!"

If Aunt Su's family background is stronger than her son-in-law's, she can use that to put pressure on him.

But now it's the other way around.

If Aunt Su also lived in the He Mansion, it was not impossible for her to use a drone to scare her son-in-law, but wouldn't that mean they didn't live together?

Let's wait and see if there is any other opportunity.

Su Juanjuan nodded and said, "That's right, Mom. The most important thing for you now is to become famous in Beijing!"

As long as my mother's reputation of being blessed by the gods spreads throughout the capital and the nobles and common people in the capital believe it, then do I still have to worry about having no power or influence?

"However, there is no need to be too anxious about becoming famous. After all, haste makes waste!"

Aunt Su’s idea is similar to Heiya’s.

"Yes, that's what I thought too! Even a scammer wouldn't rush to ask for money! Why don't they take it slow for a month or two first?"

"In the first one or two months, I plan to visit some of the best and most fun places in Beijing, buy some local specialties, and then make some extra money."

Aunt Su was very relaxed. She only rested in the rented small courtyard for one day, and then went to a tourist attraction in the capital every day to stroll around.

When Lin Laoer came to Beijing before, he had wandered around and was quite familiar with the place, so he could be a local tour guide for Aunt Su.

When Lin Laoer was playing by himself before, although there were people accompanying him, if he wanted to eat something good or buy something, he had to pay for it himself.

I have to pay for it myself, no matter how rich I am, I won’t waste it!

Now that he is with Aunt Su, she is very generous with her money. She seeks the best for food, drinks and entertainment, and is not afraid of the most expensive ones. She doesn't care about money at all, and it can even be said that she spends money like water.

The feeling of spending money freely is really refreshing!

For example, at this moment, Madam Su was tired after a stroll, so she chose a restaurant to rest and have a meal.

It’s no wonder that the old lady has a good eye. She picked out Zuiyun Tower, the most famous restaurant in the east of the city, at random.

Not only did he go to Zuiyunlou, he also generously requested a superior private room.

Lin Lao Er sat in a box that was no less luxurious than the grand hall of a wealthy family. He looked around and marveled in his heart.

As the Zuiyunlou's signature dishes were served up like flowing water, Lin Laoer looked at this and that and felt that his eyes were almost not enough.

The price for a table like this is fifty taels.

If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to do that.

But now that it is his stepmother who is paying, he will naturally not be polite.

Aunt Su looked at this table full of delicious seafood and land feast, feeling regretful that she couldn't take a picture of it with her cell phone.

He could only greet his adopted bastard and two little grandchildren warmly.

"There are so many varieties! Come on, there are only a few of us at the table, let's try some!"

This famous restaurant in the capital city is naturally well-known for its quality.

Even if it is a small cold dish, it tastes very refreshing.

It's a pity that maybe the ingredients were not good enough. The fish, meat and so on, even Aunt Su's picky taste felt that they were slightly inferior to the ingredients on the farm.
