Chapter 174: Convince Grandfather Li Wen
"Is it that simple?" The old man was stunned, a little unacceptable, such a simple reason, when it came out of someone else's mouth, he would directly reprimand that person for talking nonsense, and from Fang You's mouth, for some reason, he felt a sense of trust from his heart.
"Old man, some things are so simple, it's just that others think it's complicated, and your old attainments in antiques are no worse than those in museums." Fang You smiled, he made friends, he never cared about his identity, as long as he had a good appetite and looked pleasing to the eye.
His gray air currents gave him a keen sense of whether a person was good or evil, Fang You could tell just by looking at it.
What's more, Fang You is not ignorant of this old man, although he has always been decisive in doing things, he is almost always very sure of things, because he has carefully thought of most of the possibilities that happened before doing things, and Chu Lao's phone number, which has some information about this old man.
Finally, after being silent for a while, the old man looked at Fang You seriously and asked, "Fang Xiaoyou, what if I don't agree to be the deputy director of this museum......
"Old man, with what you know, what will I do?" Fang You smiled slightly, and threw the question to the old man.
"Haha, Fang Xiaoyou's great grace to save his life, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I have to go through." Hearing that Fang You was not answering at all, the old man laughed out loud instead.
The old man laughed for a while, then suddenly stopped laughing, and looked at Fang You solemnly, "Fang Xiaoyou, before that, I still need to ask a question, what is the purpose of your opening of the museum." ”
Hearing the old man's words, Fang You couldn't help but shake his head, "Old man, you have already died once, have you still not let go, in this world full of interests, chasing interests is a common characteristic of everyone, even me, without exception." ”
"In your opinion, the establishment of the Longlin Foundation and the guarantee that all donations will be used in earnest, in your opinion, I may be a great benevolent person in Huaxia, but without the support of the interests of Longyou Auction House and other companies, do you think I can open the foundation alone?"
"If it weren't for the huge interests behind me, do you think I wouldn't embezzle half of the money from donations?"
"People are divided into good and bad, and the same is true of interests, and the benefits earned by righteous and bright means, why not, can you use these earned money to help more people, do you think the interests are still dirty, and still tarnish your noble knowledge."
Fang You learned some of Li Wen's grandfather's past through Chu Lao, which was the same as he had guessed before, conservative and self-contained.
During the period of the Republic of China, their family can be said to be a well-known literati family, after years of war, resulting in the family downfall, this is a reason, and the most important reason is that this family are some pretentious literati, inherited the idea of the feudal stage, that the literati is the most noble profession in the world, and all other professions are really inferior.
With the continuous development of the times, all the old things are gradually gone, but only this ancestral precept of their family has not changed.
Seeing that the former friends were gradually seduced by interests, their family had persuaded them, but these friends instead let them invest in this kind of interests, and the patriarch of the family at that time was angry and gradually cut off relations with these people.
This rule was still observed by Li Wen's grandfather, and all members of the family, men studying, women embroidering, were forbidden to engage in all other activities, and those who violated them were expelled from the family.
This made them gradually fall from a huge literati family to a family of only a dozen people, and they did not hesitate to sell their treasures for many years in order to see a doctor.
There is always a kind of paranoia in the world, they think that what they are doing is right, even if others say they are wrong, they are right, even if it is wrong, in their eyes, it is right, such people like crazy people, it is not uncommon.
"I'll give you a simple example, your level of antiques is very high, presumably these years must have wanted to have been a treasure to pick up leaks, when you used a very low price to find a very high value of antiques, in your opinion this is the rules of the antique shop, it should be, but I have to say, this has been related to interests, simply put, as long as people live in this world, they must be related to interests, three meals a day need money to buy, clothes, shelter, as long as it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, are very related to money."
Fang You looked at the old man calmly, and said lightly, it was not so much that he was persuading the old man, but that he was venting his dissatisfaction.
This kind of self-esteemed family is very annoying, no wonder the old man is sick, and he can't even borrow money for medical treatment.
The old man's expression kept changing, and finally he sighed helplessly, "Fang Xiaoyou, if I hadn't died once before, I would definitely reprimand you on the spot, even if this matter was wrong from beginning to end, but now, I have died once, you may not know, when I swallowed my last breath, I vaguely saw Xiaowen crying heartbreakingly, holding a bank card in his hand, at this moment, I suddenly felt that I was completely wrong before, I don't know if this is my hallucination, or imagination, when I stretched out my hand, When he wanted to pull Xiaowen's hand at the end, he didn't have any strength, and his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness. ”
"I know it's too late to regret everything, but God, no, it's Fang Xiaoyou, you gave me this opportunity, you're right, we're all pretentious, we always want to be superior, we want to be respected, but we haven't done anything for others at all, I was able to agree to let Xiaowen listen to your orders, as long as I don't make decisions that hurt heaven and reason, it means that I already know that I regret it."
"And, from now on, I won't remove this from the family rules, and I won't ask my children and grandchildren to do anything, I just hope that they will live well."
Suddenly, the old man looked at Fang You apologetically, "It's just, I'm sorry, Fang Xiaoyou, I may not be able to agree to your invitation, I think it's too late to change, I want to turn into ashes with this family rule and bury it in the ground, so that it will never appear." "He is now suffering from cancer, he is already a dying man, this time God has given him a chance, what he needs is to break this family rule, as for him, he has persevered for a lifetime, and in the end, he is destined to die with this family rule.
Fang You looked at the old man and was dumbfounded, and they all turned into ashes, what he said just now was not all nonsense, "Old man, you forgot what I said just now, I said, I have the ability to cure your cancer." ”
"Fang Xiaoyou, cancer is not a disease that can be cured, let alone you, even your master, Old Man Qi, can't do anything." The old man looked at Fang You, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he thought that Fang You had just said to him that he could be cured, just joking to comfort him.
Fang You smiled slightly, "Old man, if I can be cured, will you agree to my invitation, a person may not have a chance to regret it in his life, but you have it." ”
"Fang Xiaoyou, you have created countless miracles, but cancer is the end of all miracles, anyone who has brilliant achievements in the past, if he has cancer, he will die of depression, if you can really be cured, even if you don't invite, I will use the rest of the time to repay the kindness owed to you, but unfortunately, it is just a joke in the end, your kindness depends on my children and grandchildren to repay it." The old man let out a long sigh, as if he didn't believe that Fang You had the ability to cure cancer.
"Hehe, old man, remember your words today, I am waiting for the moment when you come to work for the museum." Hearing that the old man obediently entered the trap like this, Fang You smiled proudly.
This old man is a treasure, digging him, Fang You's efforts can be said to be very worthwhile.
"Okay, I'll wait, okay, Fang Xiaoyou, I've talked to you so much, I've completely let go, now, I need to tell Xiaowen about my decision, after all, my time is running out." The old man smiled, even if he looked at Fang You's confident expression, he still didn't believe it.
Fang You nodded with a smile, and then walked out of the ward with a smile on his face, if it wasn't for Chu Lao's phone call, he really didn't know where this old man's heart was, I have to say that Chu Lao's phone call was really timely.
And far away in the old courtyard of Chu in Wuyang, Chen Zongyi was bored playing with the Chengying Sword that had been merged into one, even if it was merged into one, it turned into that rusty appearance, these are also two divine swords, merging the two into one The decision made by Chen Zongyi, together, only Fang You can open it, even if he can't bear to look at the divine sword, he has to consider the safety of these two swords.
While playing with the sword, Chen Zongyi looked at Chu Lao's table, there were a few documents on it, and after a general look, he shook his head helplessly, "It's the first time I've seen such a poor family rule, and I don't know why Xiaoyou wants to investigate, and I only listened to the general content, so I don't want to listen to it anymore." ”
"You know Xiaoyou's personality, what he needs to know is the general situation of this family, not the ** of each of them, this family rule is under-drawn in modern times, but in the feudal era, it is the only way to go straight to the top, no matter how much money he makes, no one has the power to become an official in school."
Chu Lao smiled, "After reading this paragraph, you will know why Xiaoyou is investigating." ”
"I don't understand, a literati family, how to study knowledge, but also have a deep understanding of antiques and their maintenance, the antique industry is full of interests, this rule is still a fart." Chen Zongyi looked at the text, and immediately rolled his eyes, is this a contradiction at all.
"Only you, a person who doesn't understand antiques, think that antiques are full of interests, antiques contain five thousand years of Chinese culture, as a well-known literati family in the late Qing Dynasty, how can they lack ancient books and antiques, these antiquities are important things to witness the history of a family, representing the precipitation of a family, which is also the main reason why some nouveau riche buy antiques and pretend to be elegant."
