Chapter 179: It's Not Easy
When he reached the age of eighteen, Kang Shude became Mr. Song's big checker, and he was in charge of the antique shop inside and out.
Mr. Song went to the house and the house to do big business.
It's a pity that the year is not good, and in 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out.
Beiping fell, and all industries were depressed.
Buying and selling in the market is not only businessless, but also subject to harassment, exploitation and surveillance from all sides.
At that time, the activities of the ghosts and spirits in all walks of life in Beiping were very rampant, and the special high school, the Xinmin Association, the spies, the military police, and the eagles and dogs of the Oriental people were all over the corners, and everyone dared to open their mouths to ask for money, which was annoying.
Thanks to Mr. Song, he has an Oriental daughter-in-law, and he still has the Oriental name "Hitotsubashi Shubun" on his head.
With the help of the Yue family's connections, he handed over the shop to an Oriental to open a pharmacy without suffering too much loss.
It's just that Kang Shude, who has only been doing a big inspection for a year, can only wear a blanket on his shoulders, and beat a shark skin masked flat drum in his hand, and wander around the doors of mansions.
Following Mr. Song's example, he specializes in "playing hard drums......
Hearing this, he finally waited for the old man's words to come to an end, and Ning Weimin really couldn't help it.
He couldn't help but interject.
"Old man, according to what you mean, this Mr. Song married an Oriental girl, and he didn't run away after the fall of Beiping, right...... And his father-in-law is also an Oriental antique dealer...... How do I ...... Why do you think this is a little wrong? Did Mr. Song sell our things to the East? Is he ......?"
Isn't it anything, he didn't dare to say it.
But Kangshude obviously understood what he meant, and really snorted unhappily.
"If you want to ask if you are a traitor who steals and sells national treasures? Mr. Song is a person who resolutely opposes Japan's invasion of China, and the integrity of the nation is there. He was the father-in-law who had sold some things to him, but he was by no means like Yue Bin......"
Yue Bin, an antique dealer, is a national sinner who specializes in stealing national treasures to foreigners, and Kang Shude is undoubtedly defending Mr. Song by saying this.
But this kind of "washing the floor" has no factual basis, and the empty mouth and white teeth are too pale and weak, and Ning Weimin can't believe it.
As a result, the old man glanced at him and was angered by his perfunctory attitude.
"Don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, don't you believe it? Then I'll tell you two things, you listen. ”
"Do you know that cultural relics moved south? After the 'September 18 Incident', the Oriental people occupied the northeast of our country and advanced into North China. It was Mr. Song's first plan for the southward relocation of cultural relics. It was he who urgently went to those friends in the Forbidden City for the safety of cultural relics, and together they went to meet with the local military and political chief to negotiate with the Nanjing government, so that the Nanjing government could make arrangements in time to withdraw our national treasures from the dangerous situation and be preserved. ”
Also, in the winter of 1940, in view of the chaotic domestic situation, the food supply in Beiping was insufficient. Mr. Song's father-in-law hoped that the family would return to the East to settle down and be safe for them. As a result, when Mr. Song finally boarded the boat in Tanggu, he temporarily changed his hexagram, leaving only his wife Keiko Hitobashi alone, and he returned to the capital with a son and a daughter. ”
Mr. Song replied to his father-in-law with a letter of apology, saying that the two countries had exchanged troops, and the situation had evolved into this. He had to leave the promises uncounted, he thanked the Yue family for their help all the time, but he had to be a dishonest villain. Because since his children are all his children, they cannot! In order to survive and coexist with the invaders, he can only let his wife go back to fulfill his filial piety alone, considering the needs of the two old men. Unless one day, the two countries can really resolve their hatred before they can renew their relationship. ”
"Tell me, Mr. Song was able to get out of the war-torn land but didn't leave, and he was able to inherit the Wanguan family wealth of the Hitotsubashi family but didn't go, so he sent his daughter-in-law away, and stayed alone to pull the two children. He also said such words of kindness, which is equivalent to uprooting all the relationships in the East. Could he be a traitor? Well, he's a man with a lot of backbone!"
When Kang Shude said this, he glanced at Ning Weimin with dissatisfaction.
Ning Weimin's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Not to mention, even he himself wondered about the ups and downs of decades in the business field.
Not to mention that he has experienced a hundred battles, he has also experienced countless experiences, and his face has also been trained to be almost shameless.
But at this moment, I still blush......
Quickly took a sip of tea as a cover-up.
But the problem is that the old man's words make Mr. Song even more mysterious.
It's really not right, because people like Mr. Song are really weird.
A double-material high-achieving student studying in the Orient, a fast son-in-law of the Oriental family.
After returning to China, did he willingly keep playing small drums in the fallen Beiping?
The most important thing is that the devils were defeated in 1945, and what happened after the recovery of Beiping?
Even if a person like Mr. Song is not a traitor, the Three People's Party will treat him as a traitor for the sake of money.
Did he pay for the receptionist, or did he know some member of the Three People's Party?
And before liberation, why did he make a Chinese person for the old man to buy back property, and he went to the other side of the strait again?
It's a mystery, it's really a mystery that is difficult to solve.
This Mr. Song must not be simple, including the matter of the southward migration of cultural relics, what does it matter to him as an antique dealer.
Is it his turn to draft a proposal?
Strangely, if there is no spiritual support and organizational support, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it by relying on the thin strength of one person.
Is he the same as the ...... in "The Wind"?
It's a pity that Ning Weimin didn't ask a word of so many questions.
Because Kanshude was very clear that he was not interested.
It was revealed that he had already planned to stop here, and he didn't want to continue the conversation.
"Forget it, there are many things that people who haven't experienced back then won't understand. That's why I don't want to talk about it. ”
"Today's words, that is, I touched my feelings before I talked to you casually. Let's talk about it. ”
"If you don't have to ask, I don't want to talk about it. I only hope that the cross-strait relations will be more harmonious as you have said. "If only it had time, God would have given us a chance, and it would have been better for us to see each other again." Then I'll be blinded when I die......"
Ning Weimin understands the temper of the master, and knows that the old man is not ambiguous about this kind of thing.
So Shengsheng held back all the problems, quietly withdrew, and left the old man alone in the room to close his eyes and recuperate.
Of course, after Kang Shude's description, the elegant and decent Mr. Song was completely erected in Ning Weimin's heart.
It has become a very majestic image in his mind, and it also makes people doubly curious and mysterious.
At least Mr. Song's knowledge and cultivation, that inconspicuous style, is definitely worthy of his admiration and respect.
