Ning Weimin tried his best to comfort Kang Shude.

He started from the world pattern, the general trend of the country, and the needs of the economy, and then talked about the inheritance of civilization, cultural beliefs, and finally to the voice of the people and the continuous cutting of national blood, but almost all the reasons that can be cited have been said.

Although many of the inferences cannot be proved at this time, after all, this is what was destined to happen in history, and there is absolutely no loophole in the logical relationship.

Rao is Kangshude will be skeptical, and he cannot fully believe it fundamentally.

But we can't help but admit that Ning Weimin's analysis is the way, and there is indeed a great possibility.

Therefore, the old man finally settled most of his heart, his emotions were no longer so erratic, and he no longer felt anxious, and he even accepted the love of his apprentice.

In this way, the old man rarely briefly described some of the past that he had tried his best to avoid and keep silent.

told Ning Weimin some legendary experiences about Mr. Song, which satisfied his curiosity.

Kangshude said that Mr. Song's name was Song Xiuwen.

It sounds like Song Ziwen's brother, but it actually has nothing to do with the four major families.

Mr. Song is about sixteen or seventeen years older than him, a native of Beijing, and his family runs a kiln factory.

But unfortunately, his father was infected with scabies when he was a teenager, and his mother died due to excessive injuries.

Mr. Song is the only son in the family, so after the death of his parents, many distant relatives who can't beat the eight poles come to take advantage of the autumn breeze.

There are even people who intend to seize and forcibly occupy the Song family's property.

So Mr. Song couldn't afford to provoke him, so he couldn't afford to hide, so he simply sold his family's property quickly.

I used this money to go east to Fusang to study with a few progressive classmates, so as to get rid of this mess in the capital.

Although Mr. Song was forced to stay abroad, he knew that he would have to rely on himself in the future, so after arriving in Tokyo, he really studied hard.

Later, he was not only admitted to the Tokyo Higher Technical School, but also a high-achieving student in both the Ceramics Department and the Physics Department.

As a result, because of his outstanding studies, during his study abroad, he was valued by a large merchant who had antique shops in Tokyo and Kyoto, and married his only daughter to him.

Mr. Song's Oriental daughter-in-law is called Keiko Hitotsubashi.

The surname "Hitotsubashi" is rare in the East and belongs to the Oriental aristocracy.

For example, Tokugawa Yoshiki, the last shogun of the Edo shogunate, was called Hitotsubashi Keiki because he inherited the Itotsubashi family.

Therefore, this surname, in essence, is a side branch of the Tokugawa family, and it is naturally very noble.

In fact, the reason why Mr. Song is valued by such a famous Oriental family.

In addition to his talent, the key is because he agreed to Hitotsubashi's request to join the family.

However, Mr. Song himself also has a condition, that is, he is the only one in the Song family, and he is also an only son.

If there is only one boy among his heirs, he must also inherit the incense for the Song family.

In this way, after graduating from university, Mr. Song returned to the capital with his Japanese wife.

He has two university diplomas and is fluent in three foreign languages: English, Russian, and Japanese.

Mr. Song, who had achieved a lot of learning, was undoubtedly an elite returnee at that time, and there was no problem in finding a job with good salary.

In fact, not long after returning to China, he successfully entered the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of the Beiyang Government.

And because of his outstanding ability, he soon made meritorious service and was awarded a fifth-class Jiahe Medal.

Unfortunately, he was unable to adapt to the antiquated bureaucratic environment of the Beiyang government.

After only a year, he offended the officials because he couldn't get used to the shady scenes of officialdom, so he had to resign angrily.

After that, Mr. Song turned to set up a ceramic factory, intending to use his major to carry forward his ancestral industry and save the country through industry.

However, the domestic industrial and commercial environment is really bad.

Not only is there a lot of various assessments and exorbitant taxes imposed by the Beiyang government, but a decent businessman is also exploited and harassed by local ruffians and hooligans.

In less than two years, the factory closed down, and Mr. Song's savings were completely lost.

In the end, Mr. Song had no choice but to turn to the Oriental father-in-law for help and opened an antique shop in the capital to make a living.

Speaking of which, Mr. Song has an advantage in doing this.

Especially in the ceramic firing process, he is full of knowledge and should be regarded as the top expert in China.

In fact, he was good friends with many members of the Qing Dynasty Aftermath Committee, and he also accepted the invitation of Lin Fengmian, the principal of the Beijing Art School, and served as a visiting professor of ceramic art for a period of time.

The so-called Qing Aftermath Committee is the people who cleaned up the property of the Forbidden City for the Nationalist Government after Pu Yi left the palace, and later became experts in the Forbidden City.

The Beijing Art School was later known as the Beiping Art College, which was the predecessor of the National Academy of Fine Arts.

Therefore, with this superior ability of discernment, Mr. Song has obtained a lot of good things.

The business soon boomed, and it became a well-known antique merchant in the capital at that time.

As for the fate of Mr. Song and Kang Shude, it was entirely because of a heavy snowfall in 1929.

According to the old man himself, that was when he was at his worst.

Not only was he robbed of the door of Fengyue Place by the ruffians to beg for a living, but the broken finger was not raised, but he also spent the last eldest son on his body.

I had just been kicked out of the store by the owner of the "chicken feather shop", and I was walking down the street hungry and freezing, not knowing where to go.

As a result, he walked to Nanchizi Street and was hit by a skidding car.

Fortunately, the car was hired by Mr. Song from a taxi dealership.

At that time, the driver saw that Kang Shude was a little Hanako, and only broke his head, so he didn't take it seriously, and wanted to leave when he started the car again.

But Mr. Song was a good man, and he couldn't bear to see such a half-grown child frozen to death on the street, so he took Kang Shude home and treated him.

Later, I don't know if it was Kang Shude's clever ability to help him, or whether she was grateful to Dade for his kindness, or whether his orphanage made Mr. Song feel a little sympathetic.

Anyway, when he recovered from his injuries, he was not blown away.

Mr. Song kept Kang Shude by his side and was a regular companion.

not only took care of food, shelter, clothes, and clothing, but also gave him a dollar a month, and taught him to read.

Needless to say, a beggar like Kangshude, who almost became a "lying child" on the street, is naturally grateful and cherishes such an opportunity.

He is very studious and diligent, and he also works for Mr. Song wholeheartedly.

Slowly, with the increase of insight and knowledge, his intelligence and wit gradually appeared.

Whether it is Mr. Song selling goods to others, or going to the ghost market to buy goods, or going to the mansion to see the goods.

Kanshude is by his side, and he can assist him appropriately.

Because Conshud is very good at chatting with people and drawing inferences from details.

It is not only able to make customers have a long face, but also knows how to bargain with hawkers, and also knows how to listen to news from other people's mouths. 

This ability, of course, is very suitable for the antique business.

Mr. Song also became more and more attached to Kangshude, and tried his best to teach him everything he had learned in his life.

The relationship between the two is also getting thicker and thicker, like both master and apprentice and relatives.
