"Don't dare, don't dare, you have always misunderstood me. I am indeed not a disciple of the Eight Banners. I only got this ring by chance. Why? You always like it? Then I will give it to you as a filial piety!" I said hypocritically.

"This old man doesn't dare to accept it, but can you pick it off to open his eyes? People are getting older and their eyesight is dim, so they can't see clearly."

I respectfully took off the seaweed ring and handed it to his hand. The old man held it up and looked at it carefully against the dazzling sunshine outside the window. He noticed that his eyes were a little blurry, so he took off his glasses and rubbed them.

, then reluctantly returned the ring to me.

"I wonder what your surname is, young master?" Although he changed his title to me, Locksmith Zhang still treated me with great respect and flattered me. I thought to myself, it's okay, maybe this old man has some differences with the former Eight Banners nobles.

The edge of solution.

"To be honest, Mr. Zhang, my surname is Hai." I wanted to make up a random surname to fool him, but because I had just returned from Benxi and I was still thinking about Hai Jiayi, I took his surname casually.

"Haha... it's just as expected! It's a cycle of nature and all things reincarnate. Even though we have been through many lifetimes, we still can't escape the fate of our clan!" As he spoke, a line of hot tears fell from the eyes of the old locksmith.

"Old man, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with my surname being Hai? Do you know the Hai family?"

I wiped away the turbid tears with my withered old hands, and realized that it was a bit rude. I reached for the thermos and poured me a cup of tea, but it was just a cup of tea, and it was only for me to drink.

"Yes, the Hai family... the Hai family... it has been nearly a hundred years in the blink of an eye. I didn't expect that I would be able to see the descendants of the Hai family before I died! Forget it, let's not mention it. There are some things that are still inconvenient for you younger generations.

You know, the world is better now, look at the high-rise buildings and cars on the road, you younger generations should no longer have to bear those old things."

"Don't say that. Since I am from the Hai family, I definitely want to know more about my ancestors. Just..."

Before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me. "Master, please have a cup of tea. This is a tribute from this old slave to you. After drinking, go back. You can go back and forth wherever you come from. This satin-covered eight-treasure brocade box cannot

Open, you are a descendant of the Hai family, so I cannot open it for you! No need to ask anything else."

I thought I could fool him with the surname of Hai, and I could almost fool him so that he could save face and open the door. I didn't expect that it would be better if I didn't mention it, but now they directly issued an eviction order.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. I am a decent person, so I didn’t want to embarrass the old locksmith when he insisted on doing this. However, I thought he was a nice person and seemed to have some connection with Haijiayi’s family, so I started chatting about home affairs and asked him why he didn’t want to join the family.

Moved out of Xinmin Hutong.

Locksmith Zhang said that he is not a stubborn person. Old people like them can understand everything after they have lived to this age. There is no need to rebel against the government. But it is because his health is getting worse every year that he cannot move out. He is waiting for an old friend and is afraid of the old friend.

When he came, he couldn't find him. He said that more than half a century had passed since the agreement between this old friend and him. When the old friend came, not to mention moving, even his life was over and there was no hope.

"Old friend? You are already ninety. After so many years, I am afraid that this old friend has long been... Don't worry about my bad mouth. I am afraid that he has been one step ahead of you, right?" Mouse said.

"Haha... No, since he has made an agreement with me, he will not forget it. But now it seems that I don't have to wait for him anymore, because you are here! You also brought a satin-covered Eight Treasures Brocade Box. You are here
