The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

I can get it for you if you want, but it'll be quite a hassle to get it out!

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"No need, I just want to learn a hobby!"

After all, Chen Xueru's things are all her own, and she can take them out sooner or later. If she doesn't need them now, she can wait until later.

Taking advantage of the current situation, He Yuzhu plans to go to Pigeon Market to collect some items.

However, I don't understand it myself, so I plan to learn from Master Niu.

After hearing this, Chen Xueru said:

"Okay, let's go then!"

He Yuzhu nodded and rode his bicycle with Chen Xueru to Zhengyangmen.

Upon arriving at the tavern, He Yuzhu noticed that Cai Quanwu had stopped being a husband.

Instead, he became the general manager of this small tavern.

And she even got together with Xu Huizhen.

Cai Quanwu said to He Yuzhu:

"The pillar is here?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Wow, Uncle, you're amazing! You've become the general manager here!"

Cai Quanwu smiled slightly, not showing off, but saying modestly:

"Luck, luck!"

[PS: The author was unaware of generational relationships and specifically asked someone knowledgeable about backups. It turns out the grandfather's sister's child is called a cousin? So this has been corrected.]

At this moment, Xu Huizhen said:

"Your uncle is literate, and the neighborhood committee knew he was literate when they came to conduct literacy campaigns."

That's why we made your uncle the company manager here!

"By the way, Xue Ru, your silk shop has a new general manager. What happened to Fan Jinyou? Why was he dismissed?"

Chen Xueru explained Fan Jinyou's situation, and Xu Huizhen said:

"That's outrageous! How could this person do that? Good riddance! I heard that Director Sun really gave that Fan Jinyou a hard time. So that's how it is!"

Chen Xueru looked at Xu Huizhen and asked her:

"What? Huizhen, are you with Quanwu now?"

Xu Huizhen nodded:

"Yes, everyone is honest and law-abiding, and they are good to me and Jingli. He Yongqiang and I are no longer together."

She needs to find a man, otherwise, is that still a home?

Then Xu Huizhen asked curiously:

"Xueru, what's going on between you and Zhuzi? Why do you always come together?"

"Are you two together?"

Although Chen Xueru really wanted to tell Xu Hui the truth, she thought that if this matter got out, it would be bad for He Yuzhu.

Chen Xueru shook her head:

"No, isn't it because Zhu Zi wants to learn about antique appraisal? I know that Uncle Niu who always drinks with you is really good at it."

So he brought Zhu Zi along, wanting to pay a visit to Master Niu!

Hearing Chen Xueru's words, Xu Huizhen whispered:

"Why did you suddenly decide to study this? Isn't He Yuzhu an engineer? These days, antiques aren't considered valuable by most people!"

Chen Xueru said:

"I know, and so do you. Don't be too flamboyant. The wind seems to be blowing in the wrong direction right now."

However, He Yuzhu comes from a very good family background, so learning some knowledge is also a way to cultivate his character!

Upon hearing Chen Xueru's words, Xu Huizhen asked:

"Pillar, do you want to learn the true inheritance, or just learn the basics? To understand this thing?"

He Yuzhu said:

"If only there were introductory books explaining this, I wouldn't have time to learn it myself."

I just want to know the basics!

He Yuzhu knew that as long as he had such books, he could continuously increase his strength. When he leveled up, all the knowledge and skills would be transferred into his mind.

Chen Xueru said:

"..." Such a simple matter, don't bother Uncle Niu, just leave it to me. Besides, I'm with your cousin now.

According to seniority, you should call me auntie. I have some basic introductory books.

I've brought it to you. I've already looked at it. You can take a look first!

"Just return it to me when you're no longer using it; after all, it's an ancient book!"

Upon hearing Chen Xueru's words, He Yuzhu generously replied:

"Thank you so much, Auntie!"

Xu Huizhen said:

"Nothing's here. You watch over things here for now. I'm going back for a bit!"

Cai Quanwu nodded without speaking. Xu Huizhen knew Cai Quanwu's personality.

Without saying much, he went straight back. When he returned, he found an ancient book in the shape of a thread.

Xu Huizhen handed it to He Yuzhu:

"This is the pillar. Once you understand these, you'll be at the beginning. It contains simple introductory information on antiques such as coins, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade, and bronzes."

That's all the more advanced knowledge I have to share. If you want to continue learning, you'll need to find a teacher!

Hearing Xu Huizhen's words, He Yuzhu shook his head:

"No need, this is fine, I just need to get started!"

Both women thought that He Yuzhu knew a little bit about it.

So they didn't take it to heart, but He Yuzhu knew his own situation.

You know, with time, you'll improve your proficiency at this.

He Yuzhu sat down next to him and started reading a book.

If He Yuzhu turns on the notification sound now, he will hear:

[Antique Appraisal +1]

[Antique Appraisal +1]

Bajiquan +1

Baguazhang +1

[Antique Appraisal +1]

……

However, He Yuzhu turned off the notification sound.

[Beep, Activating Antique Appraisal Skill]

[Beep, host's historical skill level 8 detected]

[Beep, Antique Appraisal Skill upgraded to Level 4]

……

Then, a wealth of knowledge about antiques flooded into He Yuzhu's mind, since antique appraisal requires a profound understanding of history.

He Yuzhu's historical knowledge is already at level eight, and he has a comprehensive understanding of both ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history.

This antique appraisal also includes antique appraisal from abroad.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone straight to level 4!

Identification of paper used in calligraphy and paintings, identification of characters, seals, artistic conception, etc.

The identification of jade, bronzes, gold and silver jade artifacts, and other unconventional antiques all entered He Yuzhu's mind.

After a while, He Yuzhu absorbed the knowledge in his mind.

Then I read this introductory book with great interest.

It turns out that after He Yuzhu transmitted the knowledge from his mind, he understood the contents of the book.

It really is a beginner-level book, but while reading it, He Yuzhu's proficiency kept increasing.
