National Tide 1980.

Chapter 179 Not Simple

When he reached his full age, Kang Shude became Mr. Song's big cabinet inspector, and he was in charge of the inside and outside of the antique shop.

Mr. Song, on the other hand, went to visit houses and mansions by himself to do big business.

It's a pity that the year was not good. In 1937, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out.

Peiping fell, and all industries were depressed.

There is no business in the street market, and it is subject to harassment, exploitation and surveillance by all parties.

At that time, ghosts and ghosts were rampant in all walks of life in Beiping. Super High School, Xinminhui, secret agents, military police, and the eagles and dogs of the Orientals were all over the corners.

Thanks to Mr. Song having an oriental daughter-in-law with the oriental name "Yitoqiao Xiuwen" on her head.

With the help of the contacts of the Yue family, he handed over the shop to an oriental man to open a pharmacy without suffering too much loss.

It's just that Kang Shude, who has only been doing cabinet inspections for a year, can only walk around the gates of various houses with a bag on his shoulders and a flat drum with a sharkskin mask in his hand, beating bang bang.

Following Mr. Song's example, I have specialized in the business of "beating hard drums"...

Hearing this, Ning Weimin really couldn't bear it when he finally waited for the old man's words to come to an end.

He couldn't help interjecting.

"Old man, according to what you mean, this Mr. Song married an oriental lady, and he didn't go out after the fall of Peiping, right...and his father-in-law is an oriental antique dealer...why...why do I feel that something is wrong? ? Did Mr. Song sell our stuff to Dongyang? Did he..."

Whether it was something, he didn't dare to say it outside.

But Kang Shude obviously understood what he meant, and he snorted unhappily.

"You want to ask if you are a traitor who stole and sold national treasures? Then you are wrong. Mr. Song is a person who firmly opposes the Japanese invasion of China. He has national integrity. He is his father-in-law who sold some things to him, but it is definitely not Yue Bin. People like that..."

Antique dealer Yue Bin is a national sinner who specializes in stealing and buying national treasures to foreigners. Kang Shude is undoubtedly defending Mr. Song by saying this.

But this kind of "washing the ground" has no factual basis, and the empty talk is too pale, Ning Weimin can't believe it.

As a result, the old man took a look at him and was irritated by his perfunctory attitude.

"Don't play tricks in front of me, don't you believe me? Then I'll tell you two things, listen to them."

"Do you know that cultural relics moved to the south? After the September [-]th Incident, the Orientals occupied the northeast of our country and invaded North China. It was Mr. Song who first drafted the plan for the southward relocation of cultural relics. He was the one who urgently went to the Forbidden City for the safety of cultural relics. Friends, let’s go to the local military and political chief to negotiate with the Nanjing government, so that the Nanjing government can make arrangements in time to withdraw our national treasure from the dangerous situation and preserve it.”

"Also, in the winter of 1940, due to the chaotic domestic situation, the food supply in Beiping was insufficient. Mr. Song's father-in-law hoped that his family could return to Dongyang to settle down, so as to protect their safety. As a result, when Mr. Song finally boarded the ship in Tanggu, he changed his mind temporarily. Only his wife Yiqiao Qingzi left alone, and he took his son and daughter back to the capital."

"Mr. Song replied to his father-in-law with a letter of apology, saying that the two countries were fighting each other. Now that the situation has turned into this way, he had no choice but to count the things he promised. He thanked the Yue family for their help all the time, but he had to do a dishonesty. A villain. Since his children are all his children, he can't! He can't! In order to survive and live with the invaders! Therefore, considering the needs of the two elderly people, he can only let his wife alone Go back and fulfill your filial piety. Unless one day, the two countries can really resolve the hatred, then the family relationship can be renewed."

"Tell me, Mr. Song didn't leave the war-torn land, but he didn't leave when he could inherit the wealth of the Yiqiao family. He just sent his wife away and stayed alone to take care of his two children. He also said Saying such stern words is equivalent to uprooting all the relations with Dongyang. Could he be a traitor? Hmm? This is a man with a lot of backbone!"

When Kang Shude said this, he glanced at Ning Weimin with dissatisfaction.

Ning Weimin's face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

Not to mention, even he himself wondered about the ups and downs in the business field for decades.

Not to mention that he has experienced countless battles, he has experienced countless times, and his face has been tempered to be almost shameless.

But at this moment, I still blush...

He quickly took a sip of tea as a cover.

But the problem is, what the old man said makes Mr. Song even more mysterious.

It's really wrong, because people like Mr. Song are really weird.

A double high-achieving student who studied in the East, and the son-in-law of the East family.

After returning to China, could it be that he was willing to play small drums in the occupied Beiping?

The most important thing is, what happened after the defeat of the Devils in 1945 and the recovery of Peking?

Even if a person like Mr. Song is not a traitor, the Three People's Party will treat him as a traitor for money.

Could it be that he bribed the receptionist with money?Or do you know any senior members of the Three People's Party?

And before liberation, why did he act as a middleman for the old man to buy back the property, and went to the other side of the strait by himself?

Mystery, it is really a mystery that cannot be solved.

This Mr. Song must be not simple, including the southward relocation of cultural relics, it has nothing to do with him as an antique dealer.

Is it his turn to draft proposals?Is this worrying too broad?

Strange, if there is no spiritual support, no organizational support, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it with one person's meager strength.

Is he the same as in "The Wind"...

Unfortunately, with so many questions, Ning Weimin didn't ask a single word.

Because Kang Shude very clearly expressed his lack of interest.

It showed that he had planned to stop here and was unwilling to continue the conversation.

"Forget it, people who haven't experienced it will not understand many things that happened back then. That's why I don't want to talk about it."

"What I said today is that I just chatted with you casually because I touched my feelings. My father and son, let's talk about it."

"Don't ask any more questions, I don't want to talk about it anymore. I just hope that the relationship between the two sides of the strait can be a little more harmonious as I told you." "If there is time, God will really give us a chance to meet again It would be even better. Then I will die in peace..."

Ning Weimin understood Master's temper, and knew that the old man was absolutely unambiguous about such matters.

So Shengsheng suppressed all the questions and retreated quietly, leaving the old man alone in the room with his eyes closed.

Of course, after Kang Shude's descriptions, the elegant and upright Mr. Song was completely established in Ning Weimin's heart.

It has become a very stalwart image in his mind, which also makes people more curious and mysterious.

At least Mr. Song's knowledge and self-cultivation, and his unobtrusive demeanor are definitely worthy of his praise and respect.

(Note: Those who play hard drums. The business of playing drums is divided into high and low grades. People who specialize in buying gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, fine fur goods, silk and satin cloth, etc. Those who play hard drums". Those who play hard drums have thicker capital and have certain eyesight. Most of them are apprentices in antique shops and pawnshops. They are thin and soft, so you don’t need to lift the basket. The poor don’t have any soft things. Naturally, they focus on rich families, which is what the old Beijing called “big house gates”. to make up for the lack of expenses; some are tired for a while and need money urgently; some want to dispose of things they don’t like, but they don’t want to take things out for sale out of face. So they beat drums to buy goods , which best suits their needs.)
