At the same time as the applause fell, Ye Tian had already put the brocade box in his hand on the mahogany case, gently opened it, and took out the pair of brass heads from the brocade box and displayed them in front of the people who used them.

"Hey, this is a pair of tiger head brass heads."

Cai Lao said in surprise, and the other two antique art appraisal experts also nodded.

They could see at a glance that this was just a pair of very ordinary brass shop heads, which were basically on the doors of Beijing courtyard houses in the past, and now they are also very common.

Moreover, the history of this pair of brass shops is not long, the workmanship is average, and it is not even an antique artifact.

Seeing this pair of brass shopkeepers, the three antique art appraisal experts were a little surprised, and many viewers who knew a little bit about the scene and the live broadcast were also the same.

This is the heirloom of Ye Tian and their family? It's a little too ordinary.

Who doesn't know! Ye Tian has a lot of priceless top antique artworks in his hands, such as the Tang Dynasty facsimile of the famous painter Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the famous painter Han Gan's "White Picture of the Night" and so on.

Originally, everyone thought that he would take out a famous national treasure and display it as his own heirloom, which also opened everyone's eyes!

But who would have thought that he would take out this pair of ordinary brass paved heads!

Could it be that there is a story hidden behind this pair of brass shop heads, which is why it is regarded as a family heirloom?

"That's right, this is a pair of tiger head brass shop heads, cast in the early years of the Republic of China, not worth much, in the past has been installed on the door of our house, only taken down in the late nineties, and then has been collected to this day"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and gently stroked the pair of brass pavements, and then put them on the mahogany case.

Next, the host Li Dong and three antique art appraisal experts began to appreciate the pair of brass shop, and a close-up shot was also given on the live broadcast screen, which clearly displayed the pair of shop heads in front of everyone.

As Ye Tian said, this is not of much value to the shop, and there is nothing to see, so naturally there is no need to waste time to identify.

After looking at it twice, Li Dong raised his head and looked at Ye Tian, and said with a smile:

"Ye Tian, why does your family regard such an ordinary pair of shop heads as family heirlooms? I don't know what story is hidden behind this pair of tiger head brass shop heads? Can you tell the audience and friends?"

"No problem, but the best person to introduce and tell the story of the brass shop and the story is not me, but my grandfather, who is the head of our family.

Tonight, my grandparents also came to the Spring Festival Gala, and they sat in the audience, accompanied by my wife Betty, and several other family members."

As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his hand and gestured to the bottom of the stage, and nodded lightly at his grandparents.

Following the direction of his finger, the camera lens immediately followed, and all the viewers at the Spring Festival Gala and in front of the live broadcast also saw Ye Tian's grandparents at the same time.

When the grandparents appeared on the live broadcast screen, when Betty and Linlin waved at the camera camera and smiled brightly, there was also a cheer in the courtyard of No. 129 Lishi Hutong.

Before the cheers fell, the voice of the host Li Dong reached everyone's ears again.

"In that case, please Mr. Ye introduce this pair of brass shop heads, and tell the story behind this pair of brass shop heads, everyone is welcome"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Warm applause suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the Spring Festival Gala and spreading to thousands of households in China.

In the midst of the applause, the grandfather stood up, took the microphone handed by the staff casually, and began to speak with a smile.

"Before introducing this pair of tiger head brass shops, on behalf of my big family, I take advantage of the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to greet the people of the whole country for the New Year, everyone has a good New Year!"

As he spoke, Grandpa arched his hand at the camera lens.

As the words fell, the applause immediately rang out again.

Waiting for the applause to fall slightly, the old man got to the point.

"In the Spring Festival of 1916, my grandfather bought this pair of brass shops and installed them on the gate of his yard with his own hands, and in the same year, my father was born in this yard.

At the beginning of 1936, my parents married in their yard and became a family, and the following year I was born in this yard, and two years later, at the end of 1939, I had a younger sister.

In the eleventh year after liberation, that is, in the early 1960s, I got married in my own yard and started my own family, and since then I have lived with my wife until now."

Speaking of this, Grandpa couldn't help but turn his head to look at the grandmother sitting next to him, and gently grabbed Grandma's hand, with a happy smile on his face.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Thunderous applause rang out again, more enthusiastically than before.

Whether it is the audience at the Spring Festival Gala or the audience in front of countless TVs, looking at this pair of old people who have been in love with each other, have gone through decades of ups and downs together, and are still in deep love, they are all moved.

And many family members in No. 129 Lishi Hutong, Dongcheng District, were even more excited and tearful, and they also felt extremely happy.

After a pause, Grandpa continued:

"After a year of marriage, our eldest son was born, that is, Ye Tian's father, and we had another member in the family, and then we had a second son, and then a daughter.

In the 80s, my eldest son got married, and at that time they had just started working and had not yet been allocated housing, and the young couple still lived in their own yard.

In the third year of their marriage, Ye Tian was born, and there was more laughter of children in the yard, this kid has been naughty since he was a child, and he belongs to the kind of guy who goes to the house to uncover the tiles without beating for three days, which is a headache"

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene and on the live broadcast end, and everyone laughed.

Who doesn't have such a skin monkey, this is the life of ordinary people, full of warmth!

The camera's lens was pointed at Ye Tian again, giving him a close-up.

At this time, he was reminiscing about the past with a happy smile on his face and tears in his eyes.

In the midst of laughter, Grandpa's deep and emotional voice continued to come out and reach everyone's ears.

After a few years, Ye Tian's second uncle and sister-in-law also got married one after another, and as time went by, the yard became more and more lively, there were more children, laughter continued, and life became better and better.

By the end of the 90s, with the rise of the collecting craze, there were many more people coming to Taobao in the hutongs, and I was worried that someone would take this pair of ordinary brass shops as treasures, so I removed them.

This pair of tiger head brass shops cast in the early years of the Republic of China is very ordinary, can be seen everywhere, not worth a few dollars, is not an antique cultural relic at all, but for our family, it has a very special significance.

No matter how the wind and clouds change outside, the gate with the head of the tiger head brass always protects us, shelters our family from the wind and rain, and makes the yard where our family lives always full of warmth.

It has witnessed the ups and downs of our Ye family in the past nearly 100 years, and has accompanied several generations of our family through the entire life process from birth to growth, to marriage and children, to old age.

This pair of tiger head brass pavements has also witnessed the earth-shaking changes in our country in the past 100 years, from being poor and weak, being bullied by others, to now the country is rich and the people are strong, standing tall among the nations of the world.

Before being invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, Ye Tian once asked me what heirloom to bring, I thought about it seriously, and thought that it was most suitable to bring this pair of brass shopkeepers, this is the heirloom of our Ye family!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The thunderous applause rang out again, and it was extremely warm.

Almost everyone at the Spring Festival Gala and the live broadcast end applauded, and all these applause gathered together, like a hurricane, instantly swept the entire studio hall and the whole of China.

Ye Tian, who was standing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, finally shed tears, but his eyes were full of happiness and warmth, and his smile was even brighter!

Linlin, Chenxi, and Dongzi, who were sitting with their grandparents, and all the family members who were staying at the gate of the mansion at No. 129 Lishi Hutong, were all enthusiastic at this time!
