Baolu Tianxing

After the business was done, the old and the young made some tea again and chatted about the big day.

It’s okay not to mention that, Mr. Tian said that the two people knew that the Tian family was once so prominent. In addition to becoming a powerful party in business, since the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of all dynasties have been officials in the court. Most of them are naval generals. Although the Ming and Qing dynasties banned the sea for a long time, there are always navy divisions.

Although in the early days of the Republic of China, as one of the leaders of the local business groups in Guangfu, he organized a business group that resisted Sun Dapao, and was persecuted by the Kuomintang for a time, but with its strong local power, later there were family members Become an important general in the Kuomintang Navy.When the Celestial Dynasty was established, Elder Tian, ​​as a direct descendant of the family, did not escape to the United States or Taiwan Island with other elders, but stayed to guard the ancestral business.

For reasons well known to the general manager, he endured a lot of hardships, and it was his fate that he survived.After being rehabilitated, some assets were returned, but there was no job.He is also free and easy, relying on the support of overseas relatives, walking around the streets to collect some old things. After accumulating a certain amount, he keeps the essence, and then resells the ones that he doesn't like and has some defects.

During that time, it was very dangerous for ordinary people to buy and sell antiques. He was doing it secretly like an underground worker. Buying and selling antiques like this made him do it on a large scale.With the help of his uncle, he stayed in the United States for a period of time and opened "Guyixuan". There are many old things, which are completely different from the present.

Because of the foundation, interest and knowledge, the business quickly got on the right track and became well-known among the local Chinese. He became the vice president of the American Chinese Antiques Association. He returned to Canton more than ten years ago and opened the "Guyixuan". , but not a store, but a private museum for research, appreciation and industry exchanges.

Over the past ten years, he has brought back the antiques and cultural relics he bought in the United States one after another. Apart from donating a part to the country, he put them in Gu Yixuan and handed them over to his son Tian Jun to take care of them.I return to my ancestral home for the elderly, living in seclusion every day, except for a few old friends I met in poverty, and occasionally dealing with people in the market like Kong Si.

Speaking of ancestral property, Mr. Tian was also a little excited, or everyone said that this person is like a child when he is old. He had just thought about it, and he had already returned to the house and took out a square box. It looked like it should be made of old red sandalwood, with tough lines. , the carving is simple, and the atmosphere is simple and unsophisticated.

Wu Chen and Kong Si were wondering why the old man came out with a box all of a sudden. Could it be that there was some treasure that they both wanted to open their eyes to?But seeing Mr. Tian put the box on the table, pushed the nested copper lock, lifted the lid, and a scent of books rushed to his face.

Mr. Tian took out a stack of letters from it, and then said to the two of them: "This is a letter that has been preserved through the ages. It contains letters from the ancestors of our Tian family, as well as letters and telegrams between me and my uncles over the years."

After speaking, I was very emotional. It is not easy to preserve these things in good condition. I also suffered a lot for this in those years.The first thing to do after the rehabilitation was to retrieve these letters. Fortunately, the most worrying thing did not happen. I don’t know how many national treasures were destroyed at that time. These small letters can be preserved, thanks to the blessings of our ancestors!

Of course, most of them were taken abroad by elders, and only after they went to the United States did they collect them from elders in the United States, Taiwan Island, and Southeast Asia, and store them in a unified manner.He is the direct heir of the eldest family, so it is logical that the family's things are put here. In the heart of the old man, these things are the real family heirlooms, which condense the wisdom and feelings of the ancestors of the past generations.

Kong Si doesn't have the sentiments of Mr. Tian, ​​it's just a pile of broken letters, not some famous manuscripts, but this box looks like an old thing!But he also sympathized with the old man's painstaking efforts, and comforted Tian Laodao: "It's really not easy for the old man, it must have taken a lot of hard work! But it's a blessing to be able to preserve it well!"

These words brought tears to the eyes of Mr. Nakata, and the old man's eyes were moistened, and he began to chatter about his experience of collecting these letters over the years.Occasionally, I talked about the past events recorded in the letters, and gradually the memories replaced the sadness.

While listening to them, Wu Chen picked up these letters and looked through them, and found that there were letters from the Xianfeng period to recent years, especially those letters from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. He was so ashamed, he was used to typing on the computer, not to mention the writing with a brush, even the writing with a hard pen was crooked, and he often forgot to write when he picked up the pen.

Because there were too many letters, and it was difficult to read them carefully, Wu Chen flipped through them, sighed, and saw a few thick drawings stacked inside the box, and it was hard to take them out to read by himself, so he asked Mr. Tian what those were.

Tian Lao was playing with Kong Si, seeing Wu Chen's question, he said with a smile: "That is the navigation chart passed down through the ages, and our family tree is underneath." After speaking, he took out several thick blueprints, including a Zhang is made of silk cloth.

Mr. Tian spread out a piece of paper, and saw that it was indeed an ancient nautical chart. Those marks were not the same as today, and even the directions were a little different. It was only under the guidance of Mr. Tian that the two of them roughly figured out that what was drawn on it It is the distribution of islands in the South China Sea, and various road maps.

In fact, Mr. Tian didn’t really understand it. He just listened to the old man’s explanation, so the three of them didn’t say too much. Anyway, the current technology is so dazed, and various satellite maps and positioning systems are much more sophisticated than this. Let’s take it as a historical witness.

There is a string of court beads under the drawing, and a few pieces of armor that I don’t know what they are. Under the ground is a thick basic thread bound genealogy. Mr. Tian introduced the history of the family to the two of them, and they were stunned for a while. Yes, naturally all kinds of promises.

Kong Si was more interested in the court beads, and when Mr. Tian babbled for a while, and drank his tea, he pretended not to care and asked about the court beads, but it belonged to an ancestor of the Tian family, who was once a naval officer. Cooperated with Liu Yongfu to fight against the Japanese in the Taiwan Strait, and later died in the battle on Taiwan Island.

When mentioning Little Japan, the three of them didn't like it, so they cursed, and even Mr. Tian yelled foul language like a child.It is said that this little Japan caused more harm to the north than the south. In fact, it is the southerners who hate the little Japan the most. This is a very strange phenomenon. It may also be that the north has suffered more disasters from foreigners. Not to mention, even in modern times, there are "Bangzi" in the east and "Big Brother" in the west, which are not good birds.

In the south, only Japanese Japanese from the island country have caused real harm for a long time, and the others are clowns. Even if they come out to stir up trouble from time to time, none of them really threaten the family.Counting the ancestors of the Tian family in detail, it can be said that every generation has died in a bloody battle with the Japanese. It is no wonder that Mr. Tian has a beard and stares, and he has no sense of the old man's respect.

After chatting for a while, watching the sun set, Wu Chen and Kong Si bid farewell.

Kong Si was happy because he had picked up a leak, and he called out to invite Wu Chen to eat. There are many snacks in the neighborhood of Xiguan, and the two ate while walking along the street, and chatted about their past events by the way.

Only then did Wu Chen realize that Kong Si had graduated from the Department of Archeology of Beijing University, and he was taken aback. The contrast between the Department of Archeology of Beijing University and the street vendors in Guangfu was too strong, and it was really difficult to connect them.

Kong Si lightly said that there are pork sellers, and he sells some antiques, so he can barely be regarded as a professional counterpart.Ask about its origin again, but refuse to say it again.

Wu Chen was not a gossip person in the first place. Seeing that Kong Si seemed to be a bit taboo, he no longer probed into it. It was enough for people to interact with each other and have similar temperaments. Why bother with the past? Besides, who doesn't have a sad past?

……

After a tiring day, when he returned home, Wu Chen lay on the sofa and regained his composure.After closing my eyes, my mind is full of the shadow of Kong Si's pot, grandma's, it was missed!

Thinking that this ancient pot of his own could not even be seen by the old man, Wu Chen jumped up, took out the old pot, and began to play with it carefully again!

The density is wrong?He looked left and right and didn't see any flaws. In fact, it would be best if this kind of problem could be seen through, but after tossing all night, he didn't find anything, what a hell!I can't see it!What material is this made of?It must not be as simple as purple sand!

Just as he was resting his hands on his knees and thinking wildly, the phone rang suddenly, which startled him, his hands shook, and the pot fell on the coffee table in front of him!

Oh my God, the coffee table is not made of wood, but a marble top!Wu Chen's heart tightened in an instant, and subconsciously, his upper body sank down, and he fished with his right hand!

With a "snap", the pot had already fallen on the stone table, and Wu Chen could only feel that his eyes were filled with golden flowers. Several fragments jumped up like in slow motion, hitting his forehead and eyebrows!

Could it be something fresh!Wu Chen groaned inwardly, only to feel fragments of repertoire flashing through his head, and passed out!

When Yoyo woke up, it was already late at night, he ran to the bathroom first, checked his face, there was no scar!What an inexplicable ghost thing!Looking at his own face in the mirror under the dim light, Wu Chen felt a little strange. How could such weird things always happen to him?

Just when he was in a daze, he was suddenly surprised to find that he could see through the mirror!Eyes focus on the dark wall behind the mirror!How is this possible? He tried it before. Reflective things like mirrors are impenetrable, but now he can easily see through it!

He has tried it!The result surprised him, not only can he penetrate high-density reflective objects, but most importantly, he seems to be able to control this ability!And no more dizziness after watching for a long time!

Is this the legendary upgrade? !This discovery made him sleepless all night!After the business was done, the old and the young made some tea again and chatted about the big day.
