Chapter 9 Conversation

Lin Hainan and the three of them had no intention of eating at this time, Xu Jing liked Uncle Lin the most when she was a child, and when she thought of the bits and pieces of her childhood, she couldn't help but feel sad on her face.

"Grow up quietly and quickly, and when you grow up, you can marry our family Hainan." Xu Jing muttered to herself.

"What?" Lin Hainan looked at Xu Jing with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing..."Xu Jing lowered her head and hurried into the house.

After Xu Jing returned, she worked as an assistant to the general manager of a company, and after Feng Jianfei was discharged from the army, he was arranged to Beijing to take charge of the security of the Forbidden City. After Lin Hainan rested at home for a day, he returned to work in the Forbidden City.

In the Forbidden City, Lin Hainan worked with a group of masters, and he could feel the shadow of his father. Although he can comfort and comfort his mother, he has always thought that he killed his father, and the guilt in his heart is a hurdle that he will never be able to overcome.

It didn't take long for the stable days to go, and the section chief found Lin Hainan again. It's not that Director Hou cares, the section chief does see Lin Hainan more times than ordinary people.

"Section chief, you called me?"

"Xiaolin, don't always be the section chief, just call me uncle." The section chief put down the information in his hand, looked up at Lin Hainan and said.

"Yes, Uncle Chen."

"I called you here today mainly to ask you, how was this trip to London, and did you learn anything?"

"Hmm... I've seen a lot of museum-treasured artworks, but I can't quite understand most of the Western things..."Lin Hainan said and touched his head weakly.

"Really?" The old section chief raised his reading glasses and looked at Lin Hainan and asked.

"I heard from Director Hou that you almost got into trouble in London?"

"This... Ah, this is all a misunderstanding, but, speaking of this, I would like to ask the section chief, do you have an impression of the jade peony carved bowl that will change color? ”

"Emerald carving? Will it change color? The section chief asked in surprise.

"That's probably it..."Lin Hainan said, picked up the pen and paper on the table, drew the general appearance of the jade carved bowl, and handed it to the section chief.

"This..." The section chief looked at Lin Hainan's flowers in surprise, and suddenly got up and turned out the information of the London exhibition.

"Section chief, I saw this bowl in the information left by my father, I checked it on the Internet, but I didn't find the relevant information, it's our country, right? How did you get abroad? Lin Hainan said the question at once, but the section chief was stunned.

"You say... Will it change color? It's true? It took the section chief a long time to come back to his senses and asked him in a low voice.

"It's true, Director Hou also saw it." After getting Lin Hainan's affirmative answer, the section chief suddenly collapsed on the chair as if the main heart bone had been extracted.

"Kobayashi... It seems that it's time for me to tell you about your father," the section chief said to Lin Hainan after a deep sigh.

"My dad?" When Lin Hainan heard about his father, he suddenly became excited.

"This thing... It's a long story, but it has to start a long time ago. Our Chen family and your Lin family, in the Ming Dynasty, we were the two largest antique dealers, and the family would pick out the best heirs in each generation, and the heirs could learn the secrets of the whole family. You will also learn some of the skills that have been passed down from your family. Our Chen family is an antique appraisal, while your Lin family is mainly engaged in the repair of cultural relics. Our two have always been a partnership..."

"Uncle Chen, are you saying that our family has been handed down a long time ago, why did my parents never mention it to me..."

"Your dad didn't tell you to protect you"

"Uncle Chen, what does my dad's disappearance have to do with this?" Lin Hainan asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly, the reason why our Chen Lin family can become the largest antique dealer in the Ming Dynasty has a lot to do with the Forbidden City, when the Forbidden City was built, our Chen Lin two families sent personnel to participate in the design and repair, and the annual inspection and repair of the Forbidden City after the completion of the two of us are also responsible, it can be said that we are the largest cooperative merchants with the government. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the faint monarch was in power, the eunuchs were dictatorial, and the lives of the people were not as good as day by day, and at the same time, wars broke out at the border gates. In order to make money, the eunuch took over the work of repairing the Forbidden City, which was originally the responsibility of our two families. Our Chen family and the craftsmen left in the palace by your Lin family were also killed. After discussing with the two heads of the family, they agreed that cooperating with the royal family is no longer a long-term way, and may usher in the disaster of killing, or even the tragedy of the family. So our two families began to move in secret, all the valuable antiques were transferred to other places, and the clansmen also left the imperial city and went to other cities, incognito. ”

Section Chief Chen spoke, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

"Later events proved how correct the decision was, and three months later, the eunuchs unanimously sealed off all our shops and houses in the Imperial City on the grounds that our two families had embezzled property in the process of renovating the Forbidden City...... Two months later, all those who remained in the Imperial City and were unable to evacuate were killed, including our patriarch. All the property was divided among the eunuchs, and the officers and soldiers went around hunting and killing the clansmen who left the imperial city, and then the clansmen were chased and killed, so they had to bury all the valuable antiques in different places, and most of the clansmen were killed, only a few women fled to the mountains with their children to escape the catastrophe, and since then they have lived in seclusion in the mountains. But they have not forgotten the family heritage, and the surviving children have also learned the skills and techniques passed down from the family, and your father is the inheritor of this skill..."

Lin Hainan was fascinated by what he heard, he was still an ordinary office worker yesterday, and after listening to the section chief's words, he suddenly felt that he was under a heavy pressure on his shoulders.

"That's... What does this have to do with my dad? If you want to talk about the antiques you mentioned, our family has never seen them before! ”

"I know this, your father had an accident, it can be said that it was because of those antiques that were hidden, or it can be said that it was not all..."

"What do you mean?" Lin Hainan asked puzzled.

"Your father is the inheritor of the Lin family's restoration technology, although he has only a part, but he also knows the secrets of the family, so he made up his mind to find the lost craftsmanship of the Lin family, and now you have the notes left by your father, which he compiled with other inheritors when he worked in the Forbidden City, and this note is not only a variety of methods for restoring cultural relics, it is a priceless treasure in itself..."Dear friends, I am very happy that you can watch my novel "The Forbidden City Gene", I heard many classmates complain to me that the novel is too slow with the new, and I am very curious about the plot behind, and now I give a way to spoil it, and those who like "The Forbidden City Gene" add WeChat lhhy605588, and discuss it with me!
