Chapter 351 It was really him
(I have been abroad these days, so the updates are not stable. Please forgive me.)
The siheyuan of the Qin Family was located on the West Street of Dengshikou. Everyone knew that the siheyuan in that area was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. As long as the siheyuan looked mysterious, it must be the residence of a rich or noble person. The siheyuan of the Qin Family was hidden among them, but it was not so conspicuous.
There were many mansions in Sijiu City, such as No. 7 Diaoyutai Courtyard, which was next to Diaoyutai and could overlook Yuyuantan Park. However, many of the nouveau riche or nouveau riche liked them. The real tycoons in Sijiu City liked to live in siheyuan. A siheyuan with three entrances and three exits cost a lot. What kind of person could live in it?
Of course, some people would say that if you were really powerful, you should live in the Minister's Building in Muxidi, or in the General Community in Shijingshan, or in the siheyuan on Fuyou Street. Although this was true, how many people in this city could reach the top of the pyramid?
It took about 20 minutes to go from Sanlihe Community to Dengshikou West Street, but it might take about an hour because of the snow today.
From Fuchengmen Inner Street, to Wenjin Street, to Jingshan Front Street, to Dongsi South Street, there were many sceneries along the way, but Qin Sheng wanted to see Chang 'an Street, which was known as the first street in China. Unfortunately, he had no chance to do so last night or today. However, this route was much more beautiful than last night's direct route to Sanlihe. After all, he could enjoy Beihai Park and Jingshan in the snow.
Zhuang Zhou and Nangong were in front. This was the last part of their mission. They had been really tired during this period, following Qin Sheng from Hangzhou to Huang Mei County, to Jiujiang, to Tsingtao, and finally back to Beijing. If they were ordinary people, they would have been exhausted.
Qin Ran and Qin Sheng sat in the back and asked casually, "Qin Sheng, have you been to Beijing since you grew up?"
Qin Sheng, who was looking at the busy traffic and the tall buildings in the distance through the window, turned around and said, "No. My roommate in college is from Beijing. He kept asking us to come here, but we didn't get a chance."
"Then I'll show you around during this period. You have been to those places when you were young, but I guess you don't have any memory of them," Qin Ran said half-jokingly.
Qin Sheng said with a smile, "We'll talk about it later."
The scenery on the road was really good. The city of Beijing in the snow had a different charm, just like Xi 'an after it snowed. It made people feel like they were back in Chang' an, so Beijing became Beijing after it snowed.
Especially when he passed by Jingshan Front Street, there was Jingshan Park on one side and the mountain not far away was covered with snow. The scenery was picturesque. However, when he saw Jingshan, the first thing that came to his mind was the crooked tree. The Ming Dynasty had come to an end. On the other side, it was the world-famous Forbidden City. The Forbidden City in the snow was really intoxicating. Qin Sheng did not have much memory of the Forbidden City. Therefore, he definitely wanted to visit the Forbidden City Museum when he had the time.
An hour later, they finally arrived at the front street of Dengshikou. The car turned into an alley and stopped in front of a siheyuan. Obviously, this courtyard house had been renovated and was obviously different from those ordinary courtyard houses. However, many courtyard houses in this alley were like this. They looked quite mysterious from the outside. The courtyard wall with green bricks and gray tiles was very high, and the gate was even more imposing.
Nangong had informed Gongsun in advance. When they heard the horn outside, the gate was immediately opened from the inside. Two bodyguards in black coats were standing at the gate. Zhuang Zhou drove the car in.
After the car stopped, Qin Sheng's expression began to become a little serious. He was wondering who his father was. Was he really the uncle he thought he was? If it was in the past, Qin Sheng would not dare to imagine this kind of thing at all. However, many things happened during this period were beyond his imagination. Too many impossible things became possible. Qin Sheng dared not to believe it.
Before they got out of the car, a bodyguard came over and opened the door. He bowed his head respectfully, like a bodyguard from Zhongnanhai, which made people feel very stressed.
Qin Ran was the first to get out of the car. The two bodyguards immediately said, "Young Lady."
Qin Sheng got out of the car after her. The others did not know Qin Sheng's identity, so they just nodded slightly. At this time, Zhuang Zhou and Nangong also got out of the car. At this time, Gongsun was already standing not far away. He represented Qin Changan to welcome Qin Sheng. Beside him was a young man in a suit and leather shoes. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looked very elegant.
Gongsun, who was dressed very well, said to Qin Sheng with a proud face, "Young Master, welcome home."
The young man in the gold-rimmed glasses also smiled slightly and said, "Welcome home, Young Master."
Qin Sheng was a little stunned. This seemed to be a ceremony of the rich and powerful families in ancient times, which made him somewhat unaccustomed. After all, he had been a poor loser for more than 20 years. He had never thought that he would become such a role one day.
Qin Ran's eyes looked a little disdainful and unhappy because she did not see Qin Changan. However, when she looked at Qin Sheng, she immediately returned to that kind of doting expression and said, "Don't mind him. Our father just likes these fancy things."
After that, Qin Ran held Qin Sheng's hand and walked forward. She said to Gongsun discontentedly, "Uncle Gongsun, why didn't he come out?"
Gongsun glanced at the Audi not far away, then walked forward quickly and said to Qin Ran, "A guest came to visit this morning. He is still talking in the study now. You can go to the side hall and wait. I guess it will be over soon."
Qin Ran snorted and said, "He is really busy. What is more important than the return of his own son?"
Gongsun could only smile bitterly. Things just happened to come here. That person came to visit directly without an appointment. Obviously, Qin Changan could not refuse. Last night, Qin Changan had waited for half the night. In the morning, he got up early to wait. In the end, he waited for an uninvited guest.
This was the front yard. There were four cars parked in the yard. In addition to the Mercedes-Benz that picked Qin Sheng up, there was a Toyota Alpha nanny van, an Audi A8L and a Bentley Mulsanne. The Audi A8L was the car of the guest who came to visit.
Qin Ran did not know what to say to Qin Changan. He had been separated from his own son for so many years. Now he finally got to see him again. Although he had seen him before, he should at least respect him. Couldn't he refuse all the social activities and work? If it were not for her temper, Qin Ran really wanted to take Qin Sheng away. Anyway, she would not stay here to see other people's faces.
Qin Ran did not care. She looked at the siheyuan casually. She did not know how big the siheyuan was, but the front yard was not small. It could totally park five or six cars. The gate of the front yard was also very luxurious. There were solid wood carvings on it, which should have been old. The center of the yard was paved with bluestone. There were flowers and plants around it. There were also two medium-sized national pagoda trees. On the wall facing the gate, there were four big characters written in cursive calligraphy: The Great Way is Wuwei. It should be the calligraphy of a famous calligrapher. Otherwise, it would not have such inner strength.
Qin Sheng followed Qin Ran and Gongsun through an arched door. Instantly, he seemed to have walked into a new world. The space inside was very big, which was far from those ordinary small siheyuan. The three sides of the yard were surrounded by three two-story small buildings, all of which were made of bricks and wood. They looked magnificent. The middle of the yard was divided into several areas by bluestone. Each area seemed to have its own function. There was also a pavilion in the corner, in which there were stone tables and stone benches.
Qin Sheng could not help sighing. Maybe this was the top-notch siheyuan that he often saw on the Internet. This building was worth hundreds of millions. It was far from what an ordinary nouveau riche could afford.
At the same time, there were several bodyguards in black windbreakers in the yard. A few servants were shuttling back and forth. When they saw Gongsun and Qin Ran, they all stopped and slightly lowered their heads. Qin Ran greeted them politely. She had a good relationship with these uncles and aunties who had been in the Qin family for many years.
Qin Sheng looked at them calmly, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. From the very beginning until now, the information that he already knew made it very clear in his heart that this father of his was really not an ordinary person.
Zhuang Zhou and Nangong did not follow them in. Only the young man with gold-rimmed glasses followed behind, keeping a distance of three meters from them.
Outside, Nangong and Zhuang Zhou had already left. Nangong could not help but sigh. "Our mission is finally over. We can go home and have a good rest."
"It's over for me, but not for you," Zhuang Zhou said thoughtfully.
Nangong was stunned for a few seconds. He did not understand what was going on. Then he stared at Zhuang Zhou and asked, "Uncle Zhuang, what do you mean?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said nothing. Anyway, he could not follow Qin Sheng around in the future …
After entering the main building, they first came to the main hall. There were two men in Chinese tunic suits standing at the staircase. Obviously, they were not the Qin family's bodyguards. They looked at Qin Sheng with interest. They did not look away until Qin Ran showed anger on her face.
After entering the main building, Qin Sheng was more like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. The decoration of the whole main building was very exquisite, especially with the profound meaning of Fengshui. Ordinary people might pay more attention to the expensive furniture and various kinds of antique ornaments and paintings. They could not see through these mysteries. However, Qin Sheng was taught by the Old Master himself. How could he not understand these mysteries?
But then he figured it out. He was the Old Master's grandson, but this father was the Old Master's biological son. How could he not understand these things? Moreover, with his status, he could totally find those big shots to decorate in person.
As for the antique furniture, ornaments and paintings, Qin Sheng had been to Jiang Xianbang's garden western-style building. Except for a few things that shocked him, he was not surprised by the rest, such as the two paintings of Zhao Wuji and Zhang Daqian, and an ancient bronze tripod.
Qin Ran led Qin Sheng to sit on the sofa in the side hall. She criticized Qin Changan bluntly. "Do you think it's very exaggerated? This is the aesthetic taste of middle-aged men. But don't worry, I will definitely not let you live here."
"China style also has a different taste," Qin Sheng said honestly. If it was the so-called new China style, Qin Sheng really could not understand it. But this kind of China style with the antique ornaments really had a taste.
Qin Ran directly sighed and said, "Like father, like son. You have the same aesthetic taste as your father."
Qin Sheng had nothing to say. Gongsun, who was behind him, almost could not help laughing. Qin Ran turned to Gongsun and said, "Uncle Gongsun, where is he? I'll go and call him."
"The study." Gongsun knew that he could not stop her, so he could only tell the truth.
Qin Ran immediately went to the second floor. Gongsun was afraid that Qin Ran did not know who the study was and randomly entered, so he hurriedly followed her. The young man did not follow them into the side hall.
In an instant, only Qin Sheng was left in the side hall. A servant poured a cup of tea for Qin Sheng and then left.
Qin Sheng just waited like this. After waiting for about five minutes, he heard footsteps on the stairs. The footsteps were very light and steady. Just when he looked at the staircase, the footsteps were very light and steady.
