Chapter 48: The Zodiac Clock

Tang Hao'er is pregnant, which is a big deal for Qin's mother and Li Xiucai's old couple, although Qin's mother has repeatedly expressed to her mother-in-law that she can take good care of Tang Hao'er, but Tang Jingru still went through the retirement procedures a few months ahead of schedule without hesitation. m.

Even so, after Tang Jingru completed the retirement procedures, she immediately packed up her clothes and drove the new energy car that Qin Long and Tang Haoer bought for her, and went directly to Qin Long's house, without consulting Qin Long and Tang Hao'er at all, as for Qin's mother, she naturally raised her hands to welcome.

The house was already deserted, but this time there was more people nagging, could Qin's mother be unhappy?

But this time it was hard for Qin Long and Director Li, and the two sons-in-law of Weng stayed alone in the empty room, and after staying up for a few days, Director Li finally couldn't stand it anymore, and when he went home from work, the pot was cold, and Director Li simply packed his luggage and lived in Qin Long's house.

It doesn't matter what outsiders think, the two families are one.

As a result, the guest room where Qin Long lived in the past few days was unceremoniously occupied by his father-in-law and son-in-law, and the study room also became his father-in-law's office after work, and Qin Long could only roll up the cover and move to another guest room on the third floor.

When the two families lived together, the family suddenly became lively, not to mention the family, this time even outsiders came, most of the people who came were some subordinates of Director Li in the Education Bureau and some heads of other party and government organs, most of these people were looking for an excuse to talk to Director Li or report to work, and they didn't know whether the target they really wanted to approach was Director Li or Qin Long, the head of the family who now only existed in name only.

Mr. Shao's yacht Qin Long has arranged for Qin Huai to send him back, and Qin Long made a special call to Mr. Shao to apologize, the reason is very good, his wife is pregnant.

Well, the fact that his wife is pregnant really makes Qin Long painful and happy, it has only been more than a month since Hao'er was diagnosed as pregnant, and Shishi Maternal and Child Health Hospital has been to it three times, and every time he goes, Qin Long's part-time driver, the two mothers are cared for throughout the whole process, and every time they come back, all kinds of nutritional supplements and tonic are filled with a carriage.

Originally, Tang Hao'er's pregnancy reaction was strong enough, but now when she sees these tonics, it is even stronger.

Who doesn't know how many tonic meals a day moisturize and have to be sick to the stomach, red dates and lotus seed soup are good things, fish gelatin is also a good thing, but you can't eat it all day long.

As long as Tang Hao'er has a chance to get along with Qin Long alone now, Bao Zhun will give Qin Long a lot of complaints.

You scoundrel, it's all your fault, if it weren't for you, how could I have suffered such a great crime?......

However, fortunately for Qin Long, there are really not many opportunities for him and Tang Hao'er to be alone, and the two mothers have to guard against him like thieves, lest he make any mistakes when he is alone with Tang Hao'er.

Qin Long even had the heart to cry, two mothers, is it okay for me to kiss my good wife, it's too late for me to feel distressed, how can I still think about making mistakes at such a critical time?

Director Li is good, although he is alone in the empty room like Qin Long, but every time he sees Qin Long eating deflated, he will hum a little song and walk back to the study with his hands behind his back leisurely, and he is known for dealing with the unfinished work, Qin Long dares to conclude that his father-in-law and son are definitely not dealing with work when he returns to the study, and he is not sure to lock the door to look at the confiscated yellow manuscript.

Well, there were no yellow manuscripts in those days.

It doesn't matter what he's doing when he's locked himself in the house, anyway, it's anyway, what's the matter?

Qin Long had been suffering in this inhuman environment for more than twenty days, and finally found an excuse that could allow him to get out of this environment.

The old man Qin Xiangbei came to the door and told Qin Long and Tang Hao'er that after the authentic painting of Wang Xizhi had been identified by several of his old friends, it had basically been determined to be the authentic work of Wang Xizhi, and an old friend also provided quite conclusive evidence to prove the origin of this painting.

It is confirmed that this character is the authentic handwriting of Wang Xizhi, which can be said to be great news for the old man.

How many people in this world have Wang Xi's true works in their hands?

The old Qin family has !!

This painting must not be sold for a lot of money by others, but what the old man is here to tell Qin Long is just one of them.

After the old man came back, it can be said that he went through the historical materials, he wanted to find out how this authentic painting of Wang Xizhi fell into the hands of Zhang Baozai, and found out that he had a thorough explanation of the life experience of this character, which is also an orderly inheritance to follow.

But then again, in addition to those recorded in historical materials, most of the deeds of the ancients today rely on speculation and analysis, and no one has experienced that era, how can it be possible to find out the things of the ancients clearly?

The old man searched through the historical materials and did not find any clues about this character, but the old man unexpectedly found another clue.

According to the analysis of the historical materials searched by the old man, Zhang Baozai has been rampant in the South China Sea for more than ten years, and has plundered countless merchant ships, among which it is recorded in a 19th century historical material in Germany that when the German minister went to the Qing Dynasty, he once carried a zodiac clock made of 12 kinds of rare gems as a gift to meet the Qing emperor, but after they entered the coastal waters of the Qing Dynasty, the fleet was sacked by a group of pirates, and this zodiac clock that can be called a masterpiece was also looted away by this group of pirates.

As for the chirping in the historical records, we don't need to say more, it is estimated that many modern people will only skim by even if they see this historical material.

Why do you say that there is such a thing? No one has ever seen it, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense?

Besides, do you have a bell to give people a congratulatory gift? Are you my son?

But the old man thinks that this matter may have a reason, and the Germans have always been strict in doing things, and this empty talk should not fall on this very formal historical record.

The old man has been obsessed with antiques for decades, and he has never heard of anyone mentioning the existence of this zodiac clock mentioned by the Germans, not even a glimpse, so it can be said that the antique shop did not know that there was such a clock.

The old man believed that such a bell existed, but he estimated that the group of pirates encountered by the Germans should be Zhang Baozai and their group of pirates.

At that time, only Zhang Baozai's gang of pirates was the most powerful in the South China Sea, and no one dared to plunder the fleets of foreign envoys except Zhang Baozai.

Then the problem comes, this time there is no such bell in the more than 40 boxes of Zhang Baozai's hidden treasures pulled back from Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, the results of the old man's analysis of historical materials show that Zhang Baozai has been crisscrossing the South China Sea for so many years, and the wealth he has amassed is by no means just a little bit of more than 40 boxes they found.

According to the results of the old man's analysis, these more than 40 boxes of treasures may be less than one percent of Zhang Baozai's amassed wealth, or even less.

So, where should the real Zhang Baozai's treasure be buried? Could the legendary Zodiac Clock also be among the other Zhang Baozai's treasures?

This matter can be explored!!

This was the main purpose of the old man's visit today, and the last few words the old man said also aroused Qin Long's interest.

Hanging the head upside down!!
