I want to be a good person

"Boss, can you deliver the goods? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine."

"Sure. This is a big item. Please leave your address and I will deliver it to you tomorrow."

"Well, give me a smaller lantern for my wife to hold."

I left my address and paid money. It was really expensive. A small one was only worth a few dollars. It was purely handmade, with many components and exquisite craftsmanship. It was all made of mortise and tenon joints. They were all made of precious wood such as mahogany, rosewood, and red sandalwood. Only royal families and nobles could use it.

You buy it, but where should you hang it?

Zhang Aiguo was also confused, but women liked it.

Along the way, we tasted snacks such as Aiwowo, Yuanxiao, walnuts, cut cakes, cold cakes, flower cakes, bean flour cakes, fried cakes with hot noodles, fried liver, fried sausage, crispy hezi, and candied haws. When we were thirsty, we drank sour plum soup.

There were also smuggled cosmetics, and Zhao Xinyu bought them generously for herself. Women dress up to please themselves.

The sky was not completely dark yet. The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, a Horse-Watching, Rich Flowers Blooming, Lotus Sitting on the Platform, Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate, Dragonflies Skimming the Water, round, square, flat, star-shaped, flower-shaped, zodiac-shaped, all kinds of lights were lit up, colorful and brightly lit. People were walking on stilts, rowing land boats, and the big yangko dance began, and the small stage for opera was crowded with people.

The lanterns are swaying and the pearls are shining on the gorgeous house; the moonlight is radiating its bright light all over the Forbidden City.

The poem was written by Zhang Juzheng, a famous official of the Ming Dynasty, who was also from the Zhang family.

In the afternoon, Zhang Aiguo bought a batch of celebrity paintings and calligraphy, gold and silver jewelry, wood carvings and porcelain, as well as paintings and calligraphy by living painters, which were sold by the Eight Banners descendants, princes and nobles. He spent 7013 yuan in silver. Two silver notes of 2000 yuan each were circulated, saving the trouble of exchanging them for hard cash. One dollar weighs 27 grams, and 1000 dollars is 27 kilograms, which normal people would find too heavy.

After counting the cash I had on me, I only had 110 yuan left. The treasures and antiques I bought were too expensive. Fortunately, I had the last day, so they were still cheaper compared to the previous day. Especially for the treasures that I kept until the end, I kept holding on to them, like a young girl who was dazzled by the choices and turned into a Saint Seiya.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the two people who were still sleeping were awakened by knocks on the door, the sound of which revealed impatience and irritability.

"I'm coming, I'm getting dressed, why are you in such a hurry, damn it"

After Zhao Xinyu put on her clothes, Zhang Aiguo opened the door.

The crowd outside rushed in, and the policeman leading the group had a smiling look in his eyes.

"Mr. Ma, I'm so sorry, the embassy police want to check and trouble you."

The receptionist smiled and bowed to Zhang Aiguo to express his apology.

Zhang Aiguo knew that there were spies infiltrated in the Police Bureau and some people held multiple positions. Professionals would be able to tell whether the documents were genuine or fake. He had no choice but to take out Ma Xiaoshu's identity card and hand it to the other party. Judging from the badge on his collar, the other party was a police captain.

The sheriff in charge took a look at the identity paper and thought about it.

"Ma Xiaoshu, a native of Chengde, Rehe Province, settled in Wucheng, Shandong Province with his relatives"

"right"

"Then why did you stay in Beijing this time?"

"I'm taking my wife back to our ancestral home in Zhangjiakou. I heard that Beijing is having a lively New Year's Eve, so I plan to leave after the New Year."

"Have you been out during this time?"

"Yes, why would I stay here if I don't go out? I went to the temple fair early in the morning on the Lantern Festival. Beiping is much more lively than Zhangjiakou. It can't be the capital it once was."

"What about before that? Where did you go? The receptionist said you were not in the hotel."

"He remembered it wrongly. I left on the second day of the Chinese New Year and returned that night. How would I know if he was there? He basically stayed in the hotel afterwards."

"Oh, if you don't go out, how are you going to keep yourself fed?"

"Then, steamed buns, marinated mutton, sesame cakes, pickles, tea, eggs, and green radishes."

“It seems not enough to eat”

"My wife and I will go out to replenish food."

"Because you gave me a lot of money, the waiter has been waiting for you consciously, but I didn't see you come out, and I didn't get your reward."

Zhang Aiguo glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "Everyone has their busy lives. Should I wait for him? Just to meet him."

"Haha, what is his status and rank? He is the same as me."

The inspector looked at Zhao Xinyu's outfit and accessories, and after careful observation, they seemed to be quite valuable, especially the jade ring on her finger, which was worth three pieces.

I understood and let down my guard.

"I heard you bought a lot of calligraphy and antiques at the temple fair, but I didn't see any."

"I have arranged for someone to send him back to Shandong Province."

“Are there shipping documents?”

"I have never done that before. I have arranged it privately. I don't dare to go public with that little money. I can't afford the risk."

There was a knock on the door, and everyone looked together and saw a few people standing outside. It turned out that the people who delivered the palace lanterns had arrived.

"Mr. Ma, your lamp has been delivered. Please check it."

After the leader finished speaking, several men behind him brought in luxurious and majestic palace lanterns.

The inspector saw that this was not something that ordinary people could afford.

"Sorry to bother you, it's my job."

The inspector bowed, saluted, nodded, and left with his men.

Before leaving, the receptionist bowed hard and apologized, hoping that Zhang Aiguo would understand his difficulties and not check out.

Zhang Aiguo waved his hand impatiently and asked him to leave.

After closing the door, it seemed that something had happened in the bank vault. The clothes he was wearing could cover his previous expenses, and he had probably checked the banknotes, so there was no problem.

If you live in a cheap hotel, it will be difficult to explain yourself. You gave yourself the identity you wanted to get out there. This is where the cleverness of the scam lies. Only after you have deceived yourself can you deceive others.

In my previous life, I heard that five-star foreign-funded hotels had the most complete and safest services, which was similar to the concessions at this time.

The lock of the vault door was intact, and there were no signs of digging by thieves on the ground and walls. How could they find it? It was completely enclosed, with a steel plate partition in the middle.

Zhang Aiguo was the only one who did the crime, stepped on the road, looked out, and settled the accounts. Even gods would have difficulty guessing what he did. As the saying goes: If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his body; if a few things are not discreet, harm will be done. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious and does not go out.

It seems that the Russian-Chinese Bank is also on this side of the river, and their vaults and warehouses are open to the public and rented out.

Zhang Aiguo clasped his hands together and silently said in his heart: "This place is destined to be with me."

After lunch, the woman was reading books and newspapers, and the man was practicing writing traditional Chinese characters. Two leather suitcases were taken out. Zhang Aiguo did not avoid Zhao Xinyu. Comrade Ailing from the Zhang family understood women's hearts very well. As the communication between the two sides became more and more harmonious, they deepened and supplemented the shortcomings and loopholes of both sides, and finally established omni-channel communication.

A person's success either depends on his father or his mother, or on his birth. This is the prerequisite for most successful people. Reincarnation is really a technical job. Maybe the ground is a projection of the underground, but in fact the rules are the same.

Zhang Aiguo didn't dare to think too much about it. Strictly speaking, he was not a distant relative. The gods in heaven also had seats and rankings. Otherwise, how could there be the old saying that Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, and people fight for a breath of air.

Of course, my success is all personal.

Zhang Aiguo put down the brush in his hand, and wrote a few words on the white rice paper: "God rewards hard work". There was a sense of freedom and ease, but it was a mockery no matter how you looked at it. The strokes were slowly changing and combining, simplifying the complex, and the core was: "Eat people"!
