After finishing the business, the old and the two young made a new cup of tea and chatted about the big day.

This is not to say that it is okay, Tian Laoyi said that the two people knew that the Tian family was once so prominent, in addition to doing business to become a powerful party, since the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of all dynasties have been officials in the court, and even better, several generations of people are admirals, although the Ming and Qing dynasties have long banned the sea, but the sailor has always been.

Although in the early days of the Republic of China, because he was one of the leaders of the local business group in Guangfu, he organized a business group to resist Sun Dacang, and was once persecuted by the Kuomintang * Party, but with his strong local power, later there were family members who became important generals in the Kuomintang * Party Navy. When the Celestial Empire was established, Tian Lao, as a descendant of the family, did not flee to the United States or Taiwan Island with other elders, but stayed to guard his ancestral business.

For well-known reasons, he suffered a lot later, and he was able to survive, which is also his fate. After being rehabilitated, he returned some of his assets, but he did not have a job. He is also free, relying on the funding of overseas relatives, walking the streets and alleys to collect some old things, accumulating a certain amount, leaving the essence, and then changing hands the ones that he doesn't like very much and have some defects.

During that time, it was very dangerous for ordinary people to buy and sell antiques, and he was like an underground worker, so he bought and sold them in this way, and he actually made him do it on a large scale. With the help of his uncle, he went to the United States for a period of time and opened a "Gu Yi Xuan", and he began to Taobao from antique streets and antique shops to do antique business.

Because of the foundation, interest and knowledge, the business quickly got on the right track, and became the vice president of the Chinese American Antique Association, more than ten years ago, he returned to his roots and returned to Guangfu to open a "Gu Yi Xuan", but it is not a shop, but a private museum for research, appreciation and industry exchanges.

In the past ten years, he has successively brought back the antiques and cultural relics acquired in the United States, except for donating part of them to the country, they are all placed in the Guyi Xuan and handed over to his son Tian Jun to take care of. He returned to his ancestral house to retire, living in seclusion every day, except for a few old friends he met in distress back then, and occasionally dealing with people like Kong Si.

Speaking of ancestral business, Tian Lao is also a little excited, or they all say that this person is like a child when he is old, he just moved his thoughts, and the person has gone back to the house to take out a square box, which should be made of old red sandalwood, with tough lines, simple carving, and simple atmosphere.

Wu Chen and Kong Si were wondering, why did this old man suddenly come out with a box, could it be that there was some treasure for the two of them to open their eyes? But I saw Tian Lao put the box on the table, pressed the nested copper lock, lifted the lid, and a smell of books came to his face.

Tian Lao took out a stack of letters from inside, and then said to the two of them: "This is a letter that has been preserved through the ages, which contains letters exchanged between the ancestors of our Tian family, as well as the correspondence and telegrams I have with my uncles over the years. ”

After saying that, I was very emotional, it is really not easy to keep these things intact, and I also suffered a lot for this in those years. Later, the first thing after the rehabilitation, was to retrieve these letters, fortunately the most feared thing did not happen, in that era was destroyed by the national treasures I don't know much, these small letters can be preserved, really thanks to the ancestors for blessing!

Of course, more of them were taken abroad by their elders, and after they went to the United States, they were collected from the elders in the United States, Taiwan and Southeast Asia and stored them in a unified manner. In the hearts of the elderly, these things are real heirlooms, condensing the wisdom and feelings of the ancestors of the past generations.

Kong Si doesn't have the same feelings as Tian Lao, just a bunch of broken letters, and it's not a famous manuscript, but this box looks like an old object! However, he also understood the old man's hard work, and comforted Qi Tian Lao and said: "It's not easy for the old man, it must have taken a lot of effort!" But it's a blessing that it can be preserved! ”

This sentence poked Nakata's tears, and the old man's eyes suddenly moistened, and he nagged about his experience in collecting these letters over the years. Occasionally, I talked about the past recorded in the letters, and gradually the memories replaced the sadness.

Wu Chen listened to them, while picking up these letters to look through, and found that there were from the Xianfeng period to recent years, especially those letters from the former Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, although the fonts were not the same, but those brush words made him embarrassed, and he was used to computer typing, not to mention the brush words, even the hard pen words were crooked, and he often forgot to write with a pen.

Because there were too many of those letters, and it was difficult to read them carefully, Wu Chen flipped through them, sighed, and saw that there were a few thick patterns stacked in the box, and it was not good to take them out and look at them himself, so he asked Tian Lao what it was.

Tian Laozheng and Kong Si were blowing up, and when he saw Wu Chen asking, he said with a smile: "That is a navigation chart that has been handed down through the ages, and the bottom is our family tree." After saying that, he took out a few thick drawings, and one of them was made of silk cloth.

Tian Lao spread out a sheet, only to see that the above drawing is indeed an ancient navigation chart, those signs are not much the same as today, even the direction is a little different, the two are also under the guidance of Tian Lao, only to roughly figure out, the above is the current South China Sea island distribution, and various road maps.

Tian Lao actually didn't understand very much, but he had listened to the old man's explanation, so the three of them didn't say much, anyway, the current technology is so daze, and various satellite maps and positioning systems are much more elaborate than this, so they should be historical witnesses.

There is a string of pearls under the drawings, and there are a few pieces of armor that I don't know what the road is, and the underground is a thick basic line to bind the family tree, Tian Lao introduced the history of the family to the two, and the two were stunned when they heard it, and it was naturally a variety of promises.

Kong Si was more interested in the Chaozhu, and when Tian Lao chatted and drank tea, he pretended not to care about the string of Chaozhu, but it was an ancestor of the Tian family, who had been a sailor general back then, and cooperated with Liu Yongfu to fight against the Japanese in the Taiwan Strait, and later died in the Taiwan Island.

When it comes to Little Japan, the three of them don't have a good impression, and they scold, and even Tian Lao is like a child, scolding and swearing. To say that this little Japan, the disaster caused to the north of the Celestial Empire should be greater than that of the south, in fact, it is the southerners who hate little Japan the most, this is a very strange phenomenon, and it may also be that the north has suffered more scourge from foreign races, not to mention, even in modern times, there are "sticks" in the east and "big brothers" in the west, which are not good birds.

For a long time, only the widows of the island country have really caused the scourge, and the others are clowns, even if they come out from time to time to stir up trouble, there has never been a real threat to the family. Counting the ancestors of the Tian family, it can be said that every generation has died in a bloody battle with the widows, no wonder Tian Lao blew his beard and stared, and there was no consciousness of the old man's high morality at all.

After chatting again, looking at the sun setting in the west, Wu Chen and Kong Si said goodbye.

Kong Si was happy because he picked up a leak, and shouted to invite Wu Chen to eat, there were a lot of snacks in the neighborhood in Xiguan, and the two of them ate while walking along the street, and chatted about some of their past events by the way.

Wu Chen was shocked to learn that Kong Si was originally a graduate of the Department of Archaeology of Beijing University, and the contrast between the Department of Archaeology of Beijing University and the street vendors in Guangfu was too strong, and it was really difficult to connect with each other.

Kong Si said lightly that there are pork sellers, and he sells some antiques, which can barely be regarded as a professional counterpart. When asked about its origin, he refused to say anything more.

Wu Chen was not a gossip person in the first place, seeing that Kong Si seemed to be a little evasive, he no longer explored, as long as people interact with people and have similar temperaments, why care about the past, besides, who doesn't have a little sad past?

……

After a tired day, when he returned home, Wu Chen lay on the sofa and came back to his senses. After closing his eyes, his mind was full of the shadow of Kong Si's pot, grandma's, this missed pickup!

Thinking that he couldn't even see the old man in this ancient pot, Wu Chen got up, took out the old pot, and played with it carefully!

The density is wrong? He didn't see a flaw when he looked left and right, this kind of problem is actually the best if he can see it through, but after tossing all night, Leng didn't toss anything, it's really hell! Can't look past it! What material is this made of? It's definitely not just purple sand!

Just as he was leaning his hands on his knees, thinking wildly, the telephone rang suddenly, startling him, and his hand shook, and the pot fell on the coffee table in front of him!

God, the coffee table is not made of wood, but a marble slab table! Wu Chen's heart tightened instantly, and he subconsciously sank down his upper body and fished with his right hand!

With a "snap", the pot had already fallen on the stone case, Wu Chen only felt that his eyes were full of golden flowers, and a few fragments jumped up like slow motion, hitting his forehead and eyebrows!

Can it be a little fresh! Wu Chen screamed bitterly in his heart, only to feel that pieces of repertoire like fragments flashed in his head, and he fainted!

When Yoyo woke up, it was already late at night, he ran to the bathroom first, checked his face, and there were no scars! What an inexplicable! In the dim light, looking at his face in the mirror, Wu Chen felt a little strange, how could such a strange thing always happen to him?

Just when he was in a trance, he was suddenly surprised to find that he had actually seen through the mirror! The gaze is focused on the dark wall behind the mirror! How is this possible, he had tried before, a reflective thing like a mirror could not be penetrated, but now he easily looked at it!

He's tried! He was pleasantly surprised by the results, not only was he able to penetrate high-density reflective objects, but most importantly, he seemed to be able to control it! And I won't be dizzy after watching it for a long time!

Is this a legendary upgrade?! This discovery kept him up all night!
