National Tide 1980

"Hey, I haven't scolded you yet! Why am I telling you all this nonsense? Get up first and stand still."

After talking about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Bian family, Ning Weimin was happy. However, he never expected that something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, Kang Shude turned into a tiger and wanted to lecture him.

"What's the matter? Old man, you've been fine this afternoon. Why did I offend you?"

Ning Weimin watched as the sunny day suddenly turned cloudy, and he thought he was going to miss out.

His head was full of questions. I really didn't know why Kang Shude was so angry because he was so clueless.

However, he still obeyed and stood up first.

After all, it’s hard to disobey a teacher’s orders, so the best way is to just go along with it and don’t go head-on.

"Okay? You really have the nerve to say that."

Sure enough, Kang Shude was already unhappy with the unnecessary question just now.

"I said, you kid, when you were in the capital, you almost treated your home as a hotel. If you want to go back, you won't go back if you don't want to. Now that you are abroad, you really treat this place as a big car shop. I want to ask you When you come back to celebrate the New Year, do you have to rush back on New Year’s Eve? Are you so busy? How can you come back two days early to see how you disturbed the neighbors and made everyone eat the New Year’s Eve dinner? Delayed. Also, I originally promised to come back on New Year's Day, so that's fine if I don't come back. Why don't you tell my family? I'm so tired that I bought so much food and I don't have any space to save it. Even if this home means nothing to you. It’s just a hotel. If you change your mind at the last minute, you’ll always be notified of it, right? Tell me, are you reluctant to come back just to make money? Or are you like Adou, fascinated by the feasting and feasting of Tokyo, and are you no longer thinking about it? "

Kang Shude got angry, and Ning Weimin finally understood the reason why the old man was unhappy.

Don't tell me, these words are really heartbreaking.

Although the old man is somewhat nitpicking and making a fuss out of a molehill, the problem is that he knows his own affairs best.

People fall in love with money, and Japanese women are fascinated by it. These two things are basically true.

Especially on New Year's Day, he and Matsumoto Keiko were inseparable when they went out for a trip and completely forgot about the capital.

Absolutely wrong, I didn’t even say hello.

The older generation cares about etiquette the most, so it's no wonder the old man was angry.

"Old man, you don't understand. It was New Year's Day. I was ill at that time. My fever was almost 40 degrees. My brain was on fire..."

"Why don't you understand? Even if you don't understand, you won't be like this. Are you sick? Are you still Hu Tu after you recover? I'm not afraid of people who are Hu Tu. I'm just afraid of this person. As soon as he went to Japan, he knew money. My heart has become ruthless and meaningless..."

As soon as Ning Weimin tried to explain, the old man choked him.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, he did not dare to care about it. When fighting, he must pay attention to tactics and strategies. The same is true for pleasing his girlfriend, and the same is true for pleasing his master.

"Yes, yes... what you taught me, master, is... what I did was indeed a bit inappropriate. I know I was wrong, and I will correct it. Don't be too angry, just watch my performance."

Kang Shude loves to hear this sentence. Anyone who is a teacher, or even a teacher, has a feeling of liking to educate people.

"Well, as the saying goes, you can improve a lot if you admit your mistakes. I'll spare you one more time. In the future, you have to remember that people can't live just for money, but also have lofty ambitions and ideals. Otherwise, don't blame me. I accept you as my apprentice."

Ning Weimin laughed and nodded like a kowtowing insect.

But I said it, old man, you can't stand and talk without pain in your back.

Without funds, can bullshit ambitions be realized?

Our country is pursuing socialism, so why should we reform and open up?

Isn’t it just to help the people get out of poverty as soon as possible?

But the good thing is that Kang Shude's last words awakened Ning Weimin.

He immediately remembered what he had brought back in his box, and he suddenly became confused.

"Hey, Master, if you want to put it this way, I'm really a little aggrieved. I tried my best to make money on this trip. But if you say that I am just for money and have no lofty ambitions and ideals, that is definitely not the case. fact."

"What's wrong? I've wronged you, can't I?"

"Hey, old man, my apprentice doesn't dare to say that. However, I will never embarrass your master. Look at what I got back..."

As he spoke, he opened a suitcase.

He put a Kitty cat sticker on the zipper of the suitcase and marked it so that there would be no mistake.

Then he took out something tightly wrapped in the "Asahi Shimbun" like a treasure.

Kang Shude was immediately happy.

It's not that he's a money fan, but he's a bit misunderstood.

I thought that my apprentice was simply showing off his achievements in learning and the good treasures he bought from Japan, and he lived up to the skills he taught me in identifying antiques.

So he pretended to be tapping the table with his fingers for a while, and then he went to look at the leak that Ning Weimin had picked up.

He was still banging in his mouth.

"You kid, don't be too confident. If you bring this thing back and let me see anything wrong, I will expel you from the school on the spot. Who told you to raise your tail!"

But it turned out that there were three layers inside and three layers outside, and it was hard to take it apart.

Before it was fully opened, Guang was startled when he saw the bronze rust color inside, "Is this...a bronze?"

"Yes, it's bronze. Although this plate is not as impressive as the one I kicked out. But based on the two inscriptions on it, and my understanding of the texture of copper that I have picked up rags for many years. I still I can confirm that this is a good thing. But the specific age depends on you personally..."

Unsaid, Kang Shude felt confused again.

Sweat broke out on his forehead. I really couldn't believe that Ning Weimin would be so greedy.

If nothing else, this thing is hot.

When I opened it, I saw that the stuff was good and seemed to be from the Western Han Dynasty.

But among all antiques, this thing is prohibited by the government from being collected by individuals. It is illegal.

If people really knew about it, wouldn't jail time be just around the corner?

"How can you sing like this?!"

Kang Shude stood up and looked outside the room, then waved Ning Weimin over and lowered his voice.

"You kid, didn't you know it well in the past? Let it go when it's time to let it go. Why do you dare to accept such a thing now? You don't think that with a French boss, the national law can't do anything to you, do you?"

"Hey, look at what you said, you misunderstood me too much."

Ning Weimin curled his lips, "How could I think that. I don't keep this thing myself, I took it back for donation. Let's donate it to the country as we did last time."

"Well, so that's what you planned."

Kang Shude finally felt at ease, but then he couldn't help but worry about the cost of Ning Weimin's patriotism.

"Then you didn't lose money yourself? How much did you buy it for?"

"It doesn't cost much. I found this piece in Nara after New Year's Day. The owner of the second-hand goods seller didn't understand. He mistook the inscription in Korean and thought it was a Korean object. It's more than 50,000 yen. At present, The domestic exchange rate is less than 2,000 RMB."

"Less than two thousand..." Kang Shude nodded.

I thought that just two thousand yuan for a bronze vessel was not expensive at all, and the business was feasible.

After all, it is an important weapon of the country. Now that we have seen it, we can’t let this thing remain in the hands of the Japanese, right?

So he was verbally praised.

"Okay, you kid did a good job in this matter. Although you suffered a bit personally, you still deserved to be worthy of your ancestors. Not only did you gain virtue for yourself, but you also gained face for the master. You can barely pass the test."

But Ning Weimin was a little dissatisfied after hearing this.

"Master, don't force it. I spent a lot of effort to get it back from Tokyo. It's all for the sake of the country and the people. You just give such a low comment? Aren't you proud of me? "

"Hey, you're not satisfied yet?" Kang Shude was amused. "You kid, you only spent two thousand yuan... Oh, no, the government also rewards you for donating cultural relics... You only spent fifteen hundred yuan to get back such a plate from the Han Dynasty. What else do you want me to do? Are you praising you? Are you still proud of you? Are you embarrassed? You can really show me a big item from the Western Zhou Dynasty, that’s pretty much it..."

When are you afraid of running out of words?

Even Lao Jianghu cannot prepare for the day when his feet are sprained by the river.

No, if Kang Shude didn't pay attention, the retribution would come soon.

"Hey, you don't like me at all. I told you earlier! Isn't there more..."

With a grumble, Ning Weimin took things out of the suitcase one by one, like he was picking out bird eggs. One, two, three, four, five... one by one.

There are thirteen or four pieces, large and small, and without exception, they are all wrapped by the "Asahi Shimbun".

Kang Shude's eyes almost turned into pigeon eggs as he looked at the heavy weight of everything Ning Weimin took out.

He seemed to realize something and his voice trembled.

"You...don't tell me that these are...green...bronze..."

"Old man, you are still smarter. You just said it casually. Aren't they all bronze? Dou, Gui, Ge, Zhi, Jue, Zun, Zou and Gu. I think they are almost the same. And most of them are made of bronze. It's inscribed. I guess there must be one from the Western Zhou Dynasty. If you're not lucky, you might even run into someone from the Shang Dynasty. But, again, it's up to you to decide..."

"So many!" Kang Shude couldn't help but take a breath. "How did you get it?"

"To tell you the truth, after I recovered from my illness on New Year's Day, I went to visit central Japan. I didn't just go to Nara. I also went to Kyoto. There are too many flea markets in these two places. There are many antiques from our country. There are so many antiques. Of course I picked the most important ones and bought them first."

Well, the number of bronzes suddenly increased to more than a dozen. what does that mean?

It shows that Ning Weimin spent a lot of money on this.

And it also means that he is taking extraordinary risks!

"But...but this matter is so uncertain!"

Kang Shude was surprised, but he couldn't help being afraid.

"You don't want your life? Why are you so brave! You dare to bring these things back blatantly! Those who know are that you want to donate, but those who don't know think you are smuggling! Such a large amount will be investigated If you come out, I'll shoot you three times!"

"Don't get excited."

Ning Weimin knew that his master was worried about him, so he smiled calmly.

"I'm not stupid, can I risk my life? Let me tell you tomorrow. I said hello to the embassy before returning to the country and left a backup copy. Over here, the Cultural Relics Bureau has already heard the news. Customs stopped them at the airport. If you can't help me, even if you find out, I still have the certification documents from the embassy. So, if you want to enjoy it, you have to hurry up. As soon as the three-day Spring Festival holiday is over, the Cultural Relics Bureau should ask me for something."

Ning Weimin's words were on point, and they really reassured Kang Shude.

Of course, his generosity is enough to attract people's attention.

Because even if one piece is calculated as several thousand yuan, the donation is tens of thousands, not to mention the real value of these bronzes.

After the old man calculated the accounts, he couldn't help but feel sad for his apprentice.

I really wanted to praise Ning Weimin, but I couldn't say it for the moment.

But where is this?

Ning Weimin mistakenly thought that these things could not impress his master, so he took out a lacquerware box from his suitcase.

Open it is a cloth bag.

Then he carefully opened the cloth bag and spread it on the table, revealing two more thread-bound books.

"Old man, please take a look at these two books again. I want to donate them too."

"Ah! This...this is a Song version of a book! You should donate this too!"

If you don’t look at it, you will be surprised. If you look at it, you will be surprised.

Kang Shude, who was holding the book in his hand, was trembling and almost jumped out of his chair.

"That's right. It's an absolutely authentic Southern Song Dynasty 'Zhejiang version'! Look at this character, it's a typical European style, the font is rectangular, the calligraphy strokes are meticulous, there is no slack. The characters are straight and beautiful. Look at the white mouth again. Fishtail, double-column frame on the left and right. Especially here, there is the word "Zheng" at the bottom of the center of the page, which is the name of the engraver. Look at the paper of this book as jute paper. There is no doubt that it has not escaped! These two books Do you have an idea of ​​how much the book is worth?"

"Hey, old man. I'm not a stick. I don't know the price of the Song version of the book."

Ning Weimin said calmly, "Before liberation, there was a saying that 'a page of the Song Dynasty edition is worth one tael of gold'. Not to mention that this is a complete set of two volumes. At the domestic price, if I give it to Liulichang, I have to give it at least One hundred thousand for me. Overseas, I dare not say tens of millions. If you buy a million dollars in Hong Kong City, you can get several million Hong Kong dollars. Even if I bought these two books, it still cost 1.2 million yen. It’s equivalent to 40,000 yuan. But the problem is, we can’t keep it even if we want to. Although it’s not illegal, as you said, keeping paper things is the most troublesome. If I want to be greedy and keep it, how can I ruin it in my own hands? What to do? I thought, forget it. Since this thing is so important, if it fails, I will be alone. I would rather lose some money than be ruined. Anyway, I have never made any contribution to the country since I was a child. And I can earn so much. The money, the government has not confiscated from me, how much tax I have. Just donate it, it will be considered worthy of the government and worthy of the ancestors. There is nothing to be reluctant to part with."

Ning Weimin expressed his feelings truthfully, and Kang Shude felt very complicated after hearing this.

be surprised? Feelings? Pity? excited? Feeling sad? Feeling distressed? Happy? Relieved?

All! Neither!

In fact, Kang Shude himself couldn't explain clearly. He only felt that his nose was sore and uncomfortable.

"Can it be sold for more than a few million? This thing will definitely become more and more valuable in the future! Besides, even if it costs 40,000, it is worth every penny. It is not a small number to you! Oh, plus these bronzes , how much money did you spend?"

Kang Shude muttered these words and tapped the table of the Eight Immortals Table with his middle finger again.

But this time it was no longer like before, where he had no intention of teasing. Instead, he was distracted, thoughtful, and completely forgot about everything else.

Ning Weimin quickly offered words of comfort.

"Master, are you feeling sorry for me? It's okay, it's really okay. In fact, this money is nothing to your apprentice. If you don't worry about spending money, we can still make money. You probably don't know that I am in Japan. A small goal in life has been achieved..."

Ning Weimin used Wang Jianlin's standards to tease him, and was thinking about how to report to the old man without being frightened.

Tell him that his overseas wealth has expanded to hundreds of millions of yuan.

However, Kang Shude's eyes became wet, and he shed tears while stroking the two books and bronze vessels.

"No, no, you misunderstood me. You spent the right money! What you bought was worth it! There was nothing wrong with your donation! But I just feel uncomfortable. How did these things end up in Japan in the first place? This is obvious They are all our own things, but now... now, we actually ask you to spend money to buy them back. It's really hard for you! This fucking bitch..."

Ning Weimin was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Master. I understand how you feel. I am not happy when I think of this. You must also understand what it feels like when I go to Tokyo and see the Chinese cultural relics in the Tokyo Museum."

"But, I am your apprentice after all. Although I am neither civilized nor martial, I can make calculations. I promise you, from now on, I will not do business with the Japanese, only business. They use guns What the cannon takes away, I will find a way to use business to get it back."

"Today's world is different. The weapon more powerful than guns is called 'finance'. I'm not good at 'plundering', but I still have some confidence in 'taking skillfully'. What are you afraid of when you buy it back? In fact, it's not shameful. . The key is not to see where the money comes from. Don’t forget the old saying, the wool comes from the sheep. So the only thing I’m afraid of is that the little Japanese will cling to it and refuse to sell it.”

The words worked.

Kang Shude thought for a while, nodded and said. "Okay, boy, this insight is interesting. You are my disciple. Then Master, I will live well and wait to see how you toss and take advantage of the victory..."

"Hey, is this over? Leave it to me. I won't let you down."

Ning Weimin smiled and actually got another suitcase and opened it.

"Old man, we want to do something happy during the Chinese New Year. Those things just now were donated. This box of things belongs to both of us. Look at this, what did I get back for you? This is a gift specially given to you. Please sit still and control your mentality, I'm afraid your blood pressure will rise..."

Kang Shude didn't expect that there would be a box of goods.

Overjoyed and expecting, he said without belief, "Stop talking nonsense. I don't believe it. We even have bronzes and Song Dynasty books. What other high-end things can you make? What else can you come up with?" To raise blood pressure? You can't..."

Well, I don’t know what’s wrong with the old man today, he’s too impulsive.

As a result, it was too early to say this.

Before he finished speaking, something wrapped in yellow silk was carried to the Eight Immortals table by Ning Weimin.

When the hall was opened like this, even though Kang Shude was a man who had seen the world, his eyes lit up when he saw the things inside.

Because there is actually a seal button with a large sapphire seal of nine dragons engraved on it.

Then I heard Ning Weimin say in his ear, "Old man, this is Qianlong's jade seal, the seal of Leshan Hall. How do you feel about this, apprentice?"

Kang Shude's blood pressure really soared due to his excitement.
