Chapter 7 You Are My Brother and Sister

Sitting in the car and looking at the scenery flashing like lightning on both sides, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that modern technology could actually make a car without horse-drawn running at such a speed, and he sat in the car without any bumps. The mountains and rivers outside the window made Li Yu feel both familiar and unfamiliar. The mountains and rivers are still the same, and the rivers are still the same, which made Li Yu know that he was indeed on the ground of Yuhai Mansion back then. However, looking at the factories, buildings, billboards, and overpasses, Li Yu deeply realized that Yuhai has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few hundred years, and it is no longer what it was like back then.

The car drove for more than an hour and entered the urban area of ​​Yuhai City. In Li Yu's memory, Yuhai is a sea-side city with a population of more than 100,000. It was already a large city in the Ming Dynasty. But today's Linhai has expanded dozens of times more than that year, with a population of as many as 5 million, and an urban area of ​​700 to 800 square kilometers. Due to insufficient land area, Yuhai City is constantly surrounding the sea to build land. Compared with that year, the coastline has been pushed up to the sea as much as 10 kilometers. Yuhai University, where Gao Shixin teaches, was built on the beach. Of course, it is now a prosperous city center.

"Jianyu, stop in front of the bank." When he was about to arrive at Yuhai University, Gao Shixin ordered Ge Jianyu.

Ge Jianyu parked the car in front of an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Gao Shixin opened the car door and got out of the car. Ge Jianyu and Li Yu also got out of the car separately. Gao Shixin pointed to the bank and said to Li Yu: "This way, Xiao Li, come in with me, I will withdraw 200,000 yuan for you, and then I will do something else first and ask Jianyu to take you to find a place to live. What do you think?"

"Everything is based on Teacher Gao's instructions." Li Yu said.

Gao Shixin asked Ge Jianyu to wait outside and took Li Yu into the bank. After a while, the two of them came out. Li Yu had an extra non-woven bag from the bank, which contained 20 bundles of banknotes. Gao Shixin was holding a gold bracelet in his hand, looking like he couldn't let it go.

"Teacher Gao, this is..." Ge Jianyu pointed at the bracelet curiously and asked Gao Shixin.

"Haha, this is a new treasure I found. How about it, it's not bad, right?" Gao Shixin said with a smile. He deliberately did not say that the bracelet was sold to him by Li Yu. In fact, this could not deceive Ge Jianyu's eyes at all.

"Teacher Gao, where are you going now?" Ge Jianyu asked, "Are you going home?"

"No hurry, I have to go to Hongbaozhai and find Boss Cai to identify the bracelet. I dare say that once this bracelet is taken out, it will definitely dampen the old guy Cai Meilin." Gao Shixin said happily. He usually cares a lot about the dignity of his master, but when it comes to treasure appraisal, the old child's nature is undoubtedly exposed. The Hongbaozhai he mentioned is a very famous antique shop in Yuhai City. The owner Cai Meilin is his friend. The two of them often fight treasures together on weekdays and have a very close relationship.

"Then you get in the car." Ge Jianyu said, planning to open the car door for Gao Shixin.

Gao Shixin waved his hand and said, "No, it's not necessary. It's not a few steps away from Hongbaozhai. I'll just walk over by myself. Jianyu, I'll leave you with something. You are responsible for taking Li Yu to find a place to live... Well, it's better to help him rent a unit, with furniture, and the community should be quieter and not too messy. Then you take him to buy some daily necessities. Li Yu has just come out of the mountains and doesn't know much about urban life. You can be a guide for him these days."

"How can I be so embarrassed?" Before Ge Jianyu could say anything, Li Yu quickly refused politely, "Just ask Senior Brother Ge to help me find a place to live. As for other things, I will be able to ask others more and I dare not delay Senior Brother Ge's time."

"It's okay, it's okay. Jianyu has nothing to do these days. His girlfriend has gone to Cangmu Mountain for archaeology. He is idle now." Gao Shixin laughed and left without caring about what Li Yu said.

"Senior Brother Ge, look at this..." Li Yu looked at Ge Jianyu in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Ge Jianyu was very calm. He shook his head and said, "It's okay, Li Yu, Teacher Gao is right. I have nothing to do in the past few days, so I will be your guide for a few days. By the way, aren't you in a hurry to rent a house? Let's go to find a real estate agency first. There is an Aju Real Estate that a student who graduated from our school offers. The agency fee is very low. Let's go there first to ask."

Ge Jianyu said it very easily, but in fact he was also confused. He didn't know why his boss liked the young man in front of him so much. Could it be that he sold a very beautiful bracelet to the boss? Ge Jianyu was originally a graduate student led by Gao Shixin. After graduation, he came to work in the Cultural Relics Association by Gao Shixin. His current position is Gao Shixin's assistant, responsible for helping Gao Shixin sort out some documents, and accompanying Gao Shixin out, etc. He was not reluctant to let Gao Shixin be a guide for Li Yu. Anyway, accompanying Gao Shixin is a job, and accompanying Li Yu is also a job. In comparison, accompanying Li Yu might be easier.

Ge Jianyu didn't understand that Gao Shixin had a deeper idea when he asked him to accompany Li Yu. Li Yu only sold a bracelet to Gao Shixin, and did not say that he had other treasures. But Gao Shixin's eyes were so thrifty. He clearly saw that Li Yu was carrying a bulging backpack on his body, and there should be a lot of good things inside.

Li Yu was able to give him a price of 100,000 yuan easily, which means that he would never have only this bracelet in his hand, and he could even guess that he should have something better than the bracelet. Due to his identity, Gao Shixin was inconvenient to ask Li Yu directly. He asked Ge Jianyu to accompany Li Yu for a few days, with the purpose of grasping Li Yu's line. When the relationship between the two parties is close enough, is he still worried that Li Yu would not take out the remaining good things?

Li Yu could vaguely guess Gao Shixin's little abacus, but he didn't care about it. He was also happy to make a friend like Gao Shixin. If he wanted to sell something to Gao Shixin in the future, it would have been a win-win situation. What would he not want? If Ge Jianyu could really accompany him to take a walk in Yuhai City these days and teach him some common sense of life, of course it would be a good thing he could not afford. He was kind-hearted, but he was happy.

Ge Jianyu asked Li Yu to get in the car and drove to the Aju Real Estate he mentioned. Money can make the devil push the mill. Without much effort, Li Yu rented a two-bedroom apartment with furniture in a community less than a kilometer away from Yuhai University. The fee was paid annually, and the agency fee was only 30,000 yuan. Li Yu happily took out three stacks of money from the cloth bag and handed it to the agency, which was considered to have a foothold in Yuhai.

"This house is good, with north and south. Looking down from the balcony, there is also a small garden. 2,500 yuan a month is not expensive. Think about it, how high the house price is now. Such an 80-square-meter house costs at least 2 million yuan."

Ge Jianyu looked at the house inside and out, and kept making envious sounds.

"Senior Brother Ge, how big is your house?" Li Yu asked casually while cleaning the house.

"Me?" Ge Jianyu sighed and said, "How can I have any house? I just graduated from graduate school and only earn more than 4,000 yuan a month. How dare I rent a house? I live in the collective dormitory of my unit now. My girlfriend is studying for a graduate school in the provincial capital. Every time she comes, we can only go out to open a room temporarily. It is difficult to think about a world of two people."

"Uh...didn't you say that you two have not gotten married yet?" Li Yu asked carefully. Li Yu had already understood the concept of girlfriend, which means fiancée, or a relationship that had not reached the level of fiancée. The Ming Dynasty society was also relatively open, and it was not uncommon for free love, but people back then did not have the courage to go out to check in a room together before marriage.

"It's all the time, you know." Ge Jianyu said without any embarrassment, and nodded again, saying, "By the way, I forgot that you just came out of the mountains. I guess it's still the old concept. It's not surprising that this is the case in society now."

"I understand." Li Yu's biggest advantage is that he has good understanding. Otherwise, the new things he saw along the way would be enough to make his nerves collapse. He pointed to the house and said to Ge Jianyu: "Senior Brother Ge, next time your girlfriend comes to Yuhai again, you can take her here. I'll just go out and find a place to stay for a few days. You can live your two-person world here."

"Are you saying true?" Ge Jianyu asked excitedly with his eyes lit up. Logically, he and Li Yu were not familiar with him to this level, so it was inconvenient to easily accept Li Yu's kindness. But the house matter was related to his sexual blessings. As a male animal who was used to thinking with his lower body, Ge Jianyu's IQ often dropped to a negative number at this time.

"Of course." Li Yu said affirmatively, "I am alone and I am not alone. It's rare to see you and your sister-in-law once. How can I sit still and watch me as a junior brother?"
