Chapter 272: An Amazing Past
Guan Yun is very clear about her mother's division of the definition of a big official, in her eyes, only a high-ranking official above the ministerial level can be called a big official, plus that person is in the capital, doesn't it mean that that person is a person at the level of a minister or above?
"What's his name?" If it is a high-ranking official at or above the ministerial level, Guan Yun can basically say his name and resume even if he is not familiar with it, just when he pricked up his ears to hear it clearly, his mother stopped saying it.
"Forget it, don't mention him, it's just in vain to mention it." Mom waved her hand.
"Okay, I don't want to ask who he is, I just want to ask, Mom, why don't you ever mention going back to your parents' house?" Guan Yun wanted to know who that person was, but he still respected his mother's decision, so he asked about his mother's background first.
"This thing...... Mom didn't want to mention it for the time being. Mom waved her hand weakly, "When Mom feels the need to let you know, I'll tell you." ”
Guan Yun knew that no one could persuade her mother to decide what she decided, so she simply stopped asking and moved on to another topic: "How did you and Lao Rongtou meet?" ”
"That's a long story." This time, my mother did not disappoint Guan Yun, and talked about her past with Lao Rongtou, "I have known him for seventeen years......"
"Ah, so long?" Guan Yun was surprised, and when he thought about it again, he was even more shocked, the little sister was exactly seventeen years old after the Chinese New Year, and there was really a connection between Lao Rongtou and Rong Xiaomei, "Is the little sister Lao Rongtou's relative?" ”
originally thought that there would be an answer, but my mother shook her head and said, "Although I have known Rong Lao for a long time, I know him well." It's not a lot, it's just that he has helped you and my little sister a lot in Kong County over the years, and I respect him like an elder. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Guan Yun was confused.
"Seventeen years ago, not long after picking up my little sister, when I went to the county seat, I met Rong Lao, who was setting up a stall on the streets of the county seat at that time. Sell some old calligraphy and paintings, as you know, Kong County is poor and backward. There are not many literate people, who will buy old calligraphy and paintings? I was curious, so I went over and took a look. As a result, he was surprised when he saw it, and the old calligraphy and paintings he sold were all treasures. ”
"His calligraphy and paintings, any one of them is taken out, they are all priceless, and there are even some unique items that have long been lost in legends, with my limited level of appreciation, I made a preliminary estimate, and I took out a random piece, which is enough for him to eat for a lifetime. However, why did he still set up a stall in the poor and backward Kong County? Could it be that he doesn't know the value of these calligraphy and paintings? ”
Guan Yun listened attentively.
"I told him that your calligraphy and paintings may be very valuable, and setting up a stall in Kong County is a tyrannical thing. But he shook his head and said, gold and silver are priceless, jade is priceless, calligraphy and painting are the same, whether they are worth anything or not, it is all in a thought, he also said. If I am willing to give him three years of living expenses, he is willing to give me all the calligraphy and paintings. ”
"I said at the time that I was willing to spend all my savings in exchange for his calligraphy and paintings, but he shook his head and said that he only needed three years of living expenses, and he would not take any more. I knew that some strange people could not be forced, so I agreed to his conditions and gave him a sum of money. I didn't have much money, barely enough to sustain him in Kong County for three years, and then I took all his calligraphy and paintings. ”
"Since then, I have formed an indissoluble bond with Rong Lao." My mother smiled, smiled meaningfully, and smiled comfortably, "I was also young at the time, and I didn't see through Rong Lao's intentions, but now I know that in fact, Rong Lao's long-term intention is to let me collect his calligraphy and paintings for him, and then become close friends with him...... Rong Lao is the wisest man I have ever met, his every move has a deep meaning, and he sees the long term more than anyone else. ”
"What about later?" Guan Yun is also a thoughtful person, a little bit thorough, probably guessed that Lao Rongtou has taken special care of the Guan family from the beginning, it turns out that there is a deep relationship, and Lao Rongtou's love for him is not because of an accidental acquaintance between him and Lao Rongtou, everything has a reason, there is no hatred for no reason in the world, and there is no love for no reason.
"Later?" Mom waved her hand, "Rong Lao has been secretly caring for my little sister and paying attention to your growth for more than ten years, and he has put a lot of effort into your and my little sister's life path. You don't know, every step you take, there are old mention. But he didn't let me tell the truth, he said, when you and him get to know each other, you will naturally get to know him, don't force everything, just go with the flow. ”
What a wise old man who is similar to a demon, it turns out that he has been in Kong County for so many years, Guan Yun thought that he had only been in Kong County for a year, and thought that when he met Lao Rongtou after graduating from college, Lao Rongtou appeared in the sky, but it turned out that Lao Rongtou had been living in Kong County for seventeen years!
Seventeen years, what a long road of life, could it be said that the only reason for the seventeen years that Lao Rongtou was hidden in Kong County was for the sake of Xiaomei and him, so to speak, Xiaomei may really be Rong Yishui's lost daughter, and Lao Rongtou may really be Rong Yishui's relatives, for this reason, he stayed in Kong County, just to take care of Xiaomei.
The question is, since Lao Rong Tou is the bridge between Rong Xiaomei and Rong Yishui, why didn't he reveal the truth to Rong Yishui when Rong Yishui had been looking for his daughter for many years without success? Is it that Old Rong Tou has a grudge against Rong Yishui, or is there another reason?
Why did Lao Rongtou leave Beijing for 30 years, lived in Kong County for 17 years, and couldn't return to Beijing, but today, he suddenly wanted to return to Beijing, what did Lao Rongtou want?
Of course, Guan Yun also knows that his wisdom is not enough to guess Lao Rongtou's thoughts, after all, Lao Rongtou's decades of life experience is an incomparable wealth, and then with the vicissitudes of life precipitated by Lao Rongtou for half a century, it is far from being comparable to him, but he has been with Lao Rongtou for more than a year, and he also knows Lao Rongtou's character to some extent.
Guan Yun thought of it again that since he was a child, his growth has been under the gaze of Lao Rongtou, and he couldn't help but feel agitated, Lao Rongtou, who is not a relative is better than a relative, has paid most of his life to him and his little sister, how can he not be more grateful to Lao Rongtou!
"Why do you have to hide my little sister's life experience so deeply?" Guan Yun asked, he remembered that his mother had always been secretive about his little sister's life experience, and even got angry if she asked too much, there must be a reason.
"Whether the little sister was brought by Rong Lao and deliberately put in the Guan family, I can't tell, Rong Lao never said, and I can't ask clearly. Rong Lao just warned again and again not to reveal Xiaomei's background, once Xiaomei's background is revealed, it may cause a disaster. He said it solemnly, and I believed his words so much that I kept them in my heart. Son, you also know that mom is a person who has experienced disasters and just wants to live a stable life......"
Guan Yun understood what her mother meant, her mother has lived in Kong County for 20 years, and she has never returned to her parents' house once, and she doesn't even want to mention it more, she is also a person with great perseverance, she not only doesn't want to face the past, but also doesn't want to have any entanglement with the past, she just wants to spend her life quietly.
However, listening to my mother's words, it turns out that although my mother has known Lao Rongtou for nearly 20 years, she has almost no idea about Lao Rongtou's origin and identity.
"Mom, are my grandfather and grandma still there? Do I have an uncle or aunt? Guan Yun remembered that he lacked half of the love of his elders in his childhood, and felt very regretful, and since he mentioned his life experience, he asked again.
"Maybe one day you'll know, but not now, I don't want to mention it." The old mother's face was slightly unhappy, and she shook her head and said.
Maybe the things of the year hurt my mother too much, forget it, Guan Yun reached out and hugged my mother's shoulder: "Okay, if you don't say it, don't say it, as long as I am your biological son, at least you have me, my father, my little sister, and Lao Rongtou, and there is no lack of human affection in life, it is enough." ”
The old mother smiled with relief: "Stinky boy, I finally grew up, and I know that I feel sorry for my mother." ”
Guan Yun smiled and walked back along the riverbank with his mother: "Mom, in this way, isn't our family hiding a big gold mine?" Where are all the calligraphy and paintings of the old man's head, why haven't I seen them? ”
"Of course the baby has to be hidden." My mother smiled, "Don't type the idea of calligraphy, I know the value of these calligraphy and paintings, if you sell them for money, I dare to say, there are hundreds of millions of yuan." But these calligraphy and paintings will be too eye-catching, and secondly, I have never regarded them as my own things, and I have to let the old man have the final say on what to do with them in the end. You have to rely on yourself to take your own steps in the future, don't always try to cut corners. ”
"Where do I have?" It would be a lie to say that Guan Yun is not a little tempted by calligraphy and painting, at Guan Yun's age, he suddenly heard that the family that was just food and clothing is a rich and wealthy family, anyone will be greatly moved, and there is a bad idea of spending money to be a gentleman, of course, Guan Yun is a good boy, just think about it and suppress the thought, "I just ask, you must keep it for the old man, maybe one day it will be used." ”
In fact, the real idea in Guan Yun's heart is that the little Guan family is inconspicuous, and no one knows that whether it is a mother or a little sister, or an old face, everyone is a huge gold mine, once the time is ripe to develop, how huge wealth will be, and how many series of chain reactions will be triggered, no one dares to guess.
Thinking about it again, it is even more heartbeating, whether it is the old mother, the little sister, or the old face, it seems that they have nothing to do with each other, but now they have a common connection point, yes, it's him! Compared with his fulcrum in Huangliang as the first secretary of the municipal party committee, it seems that this fulcrum is even more terrifying!
When he returned home, Lao Rongtou had already woken up, and when he saw Guan Yun and Guan Mu, he smiled: "Bangfang, can you lend me a calligraphy and painting, I will use it when I enter Beijing." As he spoke, he glanced at Guan Yun again, "Xiao Guanzi, when the time comes, you and I will go to Beijing together, and I will introduce someone to you, and your mother will also know this person." ”
Mu Bangfang's face suddenly changed: "Old Rong, don't let Guan Yun know him." ”
