Chapter Thirty-Eight: It's the Dragon Lantern Again
Zhang Qiusheng shouted respectfully: "Hello grandfather!" Liang Lao saw this energetic young man, and half of his depression was dissipated by his wife's nonsense just now. happily agreed, and there were still tears on the old face. Qiu Ran pulled Zhang Qiusheng again and introduced: "This is grandma, call quickly." β
Mrs. Liang said with a straight face: "I'm not your grandmother, I don't have a granddaughter." My grandson is now in Beijing. Zhang Qiuran had never encountered such a situation, and he was so ashamed that he blushed for a while. Zhang Qiusheng hurriedly pulled his sister to Liang Sijian's side and asked, "Is this uncle?" β
This sentence is ostensibly to ask Liang Sijian's identity, but in fact, it is not uncommon for Liang Sijian to recognize this family, and it is not uncommon to recognize me.
Liang Sijian stood up and hugged Zhang Qiusheng in his arms, Qiu Ran is a girl, even if it is an uncle, he has to avoid suspicion, Qiu Sheng is boy looks at it and really likes it, so he hugs it. He said again and again: "Yes, it's uncle." Uncle is sorry for you, and uncle apologizes to you on behalf of your grandmother. Mother's words just now made Liang Sijian feel blushing, how could he do this grandmother. You don't recognize your granddaughter, so what right do you have to stay here? This is your granddaughter's home.
Mrs. Liang was furious when she saw her son apologize on her behalf without authorization: "Why do you represent me? I said that if I don't have a granddaughter, I don't have a granddaughter, and my grandson is also in Beijing. Zhang Qiu was afraid that his sister would be uncomfortable, so he pulled his sister and said, "If you don't have a grandmother, you don't have a grandmother, and your grandmother is not a necessity." Isn't it good that I haven't had a grandmother for so many years? We had grandma and grandma was the best. β
Mrs. Liang opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't know what to say for a while. In addition, Zhang Qiusheng didn't even glance at her, and pulled his sister to go to his grandmother's room. Mrs. Liang has never been so angry, and she still can't get a seizure. People don't pay attention to you, how can you have a seizure?
Old Liang and his son listened to Zhang Qiusheng's words, but they felt very relieved. The father and son were ravaged by the old lady, and it was not bad to have someone else to vent for them. Liang Lao stood up and said, "Ouch, it's rude for us to come here for so long and not bother to see grandma." "Follow the Qiusheng sisters and brothers to grandma's room. Liang Siqi's sister and brother also followed in, leaving the old lady alone in the living room to get angry. It's called ignoring and doing nothing, a pinch of shit.
Today is destined to be an extraordinary day for the Zhang family. Pressed Liang Lao took his children to grandma's room, apologized to grandma, and expressed heartfelt thanks to grandma.
Besides, grandpa repaired shoes at the street corner half a stop away from the community. During the summer vacation, at this time, one of the Qiuran sisters and brothers will always deliver food. It's time for today, but the meal hasn't been delivered yet, but grandpa doesn't care. Delivering food, it's not a war, how can it be so punctual, it's normal to be early and late, grandpa knows that the sister and brother will never forget to deliver food. I won't say that Qiu'er is a boy, but Ran'er is very careful.
Grandpa was busy with the work at hand, when suddenly two cars stopped nearby. A group of people got out of the car and came to the grandfather, led by an old man who knelt down on his knees and shouted: "Senior brother-" and cried silently. A group of people in the back also knelt down in unison, or shouted: "Uncle! Or: "Grandpa! β
This old man is the younger brother of his grandfather, the son of his grandfather's owner, and the younger brother of his grandmother. Although he is the son of the owner, he is still the younger brother of his grandfather in the ranking of the division.
Speaking of which, everyone probably understands that grandma is actually the daughter of the owner. At that time, his younger brother was young and vigorous, and he had a conflict with a local martial arts hall. Grandma went to pull a frame and was kicked and broke her lumbar vertebrae in the scuffle, and it didn't take long for the devil to come. The family went to take refuge abroad, and the grandmother suffered a spinal injury and was unable to move. The grandfather volunteered to stay and take care of the grandmother, and the owner was very moved to marry the grandmother to the grandfather. In fact, the two have long had a good impression of each other, and they completed the wedding in front of their grandmother's hospital bed.
Grandpa didn't tell the whole truth to the Qiusheng sisters and brothers, at that time, the owner, no, it should be said that the father-in-law left a lot of fine antiques, jewelry, and jade to grandpa. Grandpa didn't ask for it, he said that these antiques, jewelry, and jade in troubled times are useless, and they should be taken away as the foundation of the industry, in order to make a comeback in the future. I only took a pair of ice bracelets and a jade pendant, saying that I don't know when we can get together, and these two things are kept for a thought.
This farewell is more than half a century, the father-in-law has never given up looking for his daughter and son-in-law, how can Guanshan block the passage of time, and every time the search result is no news. When the father-in-law was dying, he was still his daughter and son-in-law, and his last will was also a strict order that his children and grandchildren must find them, and they would see people alive and graves when they died. The old man swallowed his last breath with regret, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, which were remorse and regret for his daughter and son-in-law.
It is said that the junior brother and the senior brother are equals, and there is no need to kneel when they meet. One is the suffering of grandparents in this life, which originated from the impulse of his junior brother Song Yuxuan; The second is that in the past, making antiques, jewelry, and jade required rich knowledge of literature and history. Unlike other industries, apprenticeship is to go through a strict study of scriptures and histories, and the most important thing is loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and trust. The deception of this line that everyone has seen from the novel TV is certainly not false. But that's the industry ethos, and it's true that doing this business or picking up leaks or Taobao. This is not to say that individuals who are formally engaged in this profession do not have ethics, on the contrary, the antiques industry requires very strict personal ethics. To put it simply, if there is no rule for employees in any industry, the industry will never be able to prosper.
The suffering of his sister and brother-in-law was caused by Song Yuxuan, which was the biggest heart disease and the biggest guilt in his life, and the traditional moral values made this heart disease torment him day and night for more than 50 years. When I saw my brother-in-law this time, I couldn't help but kneel down on the spot, which is understandable.
However, pedestrians on the street did not know the situation, and saw a well-dressed old man get out of a limousine and suddenly kneel down beside an old man who repaired shoes. That's not all, the two middle-aged people and two young people who followed also knelt down. People's curiosity and love to see the lively nature is fully aroused, regardless of the sun smoking, onlookers, onlookers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime wonder, can not be missed.
Grandpa looked at the kneeling old man in front of him suspiciously, vaguely remembered his appearance back then, and asked, "Are you Yuxuan?" Song Yuxuan took two steps on his knees, hugged his grandfather's legs and cried: "It's me, senior brother, brother-in-law, I, I'm so hard to find youββ"
Grandpa was also in tears, touching Song Yuxuan's head with one hand and patting his back with the other, like coaxing a child. Maybe that's how they were when they were kids, right?
Grandpa looked up at the crowd of onlookers and said to Song Yuxuan, who was still crying, "Okay, let's go home, ah." Don't let people see the jokes. Then he said to the other kneeling men, "Arise also, children, and come home with me." β
Grandpa led a group of people to just go downstairs, and met Qiusheng holding a lunch box and preparing to deliver food. Now I don't have to deliver the meal, and I follow my grandfather home.
The Zhang family is lively now, and it is a dragon lantern and a meeting.
Song Yuxuan didn't look at anyone when he entered the house, went directly to his sister's room, and shouted: "Sisterββγ "Fell on top of my sister. Half a century of guilt and half a century of worry, with his father's dying instructions, the seventy-year-old man couldn't cry silently.
Grandma also touched Song Yuxuan's head with one hand and patted his back with the other, maybe it was really that everyone treated their little brother like this when they were children.
Grandma said with tears in her eyes: "I thought I would never see you again in this life, good, good, good." God willing, let me see you again. It's good, it's good. Ran'er, Qiu'er, come here, meet your uncle and grandfather. β
The Qiuran sisters and brothers respectfully called: "Hello uncle and grandfather!" Song Yuxuan saw the two children, and said three times in a row: "Okay, good, granddaughter is beautiful, grandson spirit." Good! Bring! The last one was said to a middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man first took out a sandalwood jewelry box from his leather bag and handed it to Song Yuxuan. Song Yuxuan handed it to Qiu Ran again. The middle-aged man took out a wooden box from his bag and handed it to Song Yuxuan, who then handed it to Qiusheng. Song Yuxuan said: "This is a meeting gift for the two of you, you can open it and take a look." β
Qiu Ran opened the jewelry box and was startled. Inside is a princess crown, a pair of jade bracelets with turquoise, a diamond ring, a ruby necklace and a pair of earrings. In the center of the princess's crown was a ruby of at least twenty carats, surrounded by an unknown number of diamonds. The jade jade bracelet is green and watery, and it is a real old pit glass species.
The greeting gift given by my uncle and grandfather cannot be refused, but this is too valuable. Grandma smiled and said, "Yes, take it." Your great-grandfather owned a jewelry store, so it's not too strange to have these things. β
Qiu Sheng was a saber, and as soon as he pulled it out of its scabbard, it felt cold. Song Yuxuan said: "This is said to be the sword of the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang, but there is currently controversy. It has a history of more than 500 years after carbon 14 determination, and overseas Chinese martial artists unanimously believe that this sword must have a history, and no one can say what the origin is, but it has spirituality. There is a collector's certificate here, and you can take it on a plane trip. β
Song Yuxuan introduced his eldest son to everyone, the middle-aged man who took the gift, and the younger son was the one who stood aside and didn't speak.
Sister and brother Qiuran hurriedly shouted: "Hello cousin! Hello little cousin! "The two cousins naturally also have a meeting gift, which goes without saying.
Qiu Ran whispered to Qiu Sheng: "Hurry up and go to the hotel to book a banquet, it's too late to cook." β
Qiusheng agreed and was ready to go out, and the little cousin, who had been silent, spoke: "Qiusheng, I have already asked someone to order, don't worry." Let them talk more about the conversation. β
Qiusheng admires this little cousin, who seems to be silent, but he does things without leakage. He could hear his sister talking so quietly. It shows that although he doesn't speak, he has been paying attention to his surroundings.
In my grandmother's room, I was excited and happy to meet, telling each other about the suffering of parting and the pain of missing my loved ones. Outside, Liang Siqi was in Qiuran's room, and the others were in the living room. Liang Lao took his grandfather's hand and said, "Brother Wow, I, Liang, can't stand you." It's because I'm not strict with my family, and I'm causing you trouble. β
Grandpa said, "Brother, what you said is not right. Qiu Ran's child is so good, how much joy she gave the two of us, without Qiu Ran's sister and brother, then our old couple would be bitter. The two old men hit it off and talked happily. Liang Sijian also entered Qiu Ran's room to talk to his sister, leaving Mrs. Liang aside and no one caring.
Qiu Ran took the meeting gift, including Qiu Sheng's, back to the room. Liang Siqi was stunned when he saw the jewelry, how much is this worth? She is also from a bitter background, and she has never seen such a gorgeous full set of jewelry, but the jewelry box is probably worth a lot of money.
Liang Sijian held the saber, heavy. Immediately a chill was felt when he pulled it out, knowing that it was a sword. Looking at the collection certificate, appraisal certificate, and auction house certificate in the box, what was not said was genuine. Liang Sijian can speak English, and the currency symbol on it is the US dollar. Five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Oh my God, more than 5 million yuan. At that time, the exchange rate of the renminbi against the US dollar was about 10 to 1.
Liang Sijian grabbed Qiu Ran and asked, "This sword is more than five million, how much do you get for this jewelry?" Qiu Ran said, "I don't know." Uncle and grandfather said that my great-grandfather opened two companies, which were not big. The reason why it is not big is that the great-grandfather collected Chinese antiques overseas with a little money. The sword was obtained at the auction house. I really don't know how much this jewelry is worth, and my grandmother said that her family runs a jewelry store, and it is not unusual to have this thing. β
Mrs. Liang also ran in curiously. After all, she is a capitalist lady, and she is knowledgeable. Mrs. Liang was not very interested in the saber, and gasped when she looked at Qiu Ran's jewelry. Don't talk about the princess crown, well, don't say anything else, just say that the jade bracelet makes her blush. She has a ring, a jade ring, which her mother left her, a green glass species, which she has always kept as a treasure. But compared to this bracelet, no matter what kind of water color it is, it can't be compared.
Qiu Ran opened her small box and prepared to put everything inside. Revealing another bracelet and jade pendant inside, Mrs. Liang's eyes glanced at her, this little girl is really a little rich woman. Not counting the jewelry I got today, even the bracelets and jade pendants in the box are worth a lot of money. I used to think that this was a poor family, but it seems that the real person does not show it.
Liang Sijian knew his mother's virtue, and when he saw that his mother was not interested in the sword, he said: "Mom, don't underestimate that sword, it's worth more than five million!" β
"Huh? Just that small sword is worth five million? "Mrs. Liang didn't believe it, and she didn't believe it when she was killed. Qiu Ran locked the box and went out, she was very busy with tea and water, and she didn't have time to grind her teeth with this old lady. Since she didn't recognize Qiu Ran's granddaughter, Qiu Ran had no choice but to call her an old lady in her heart.
Even if Qiu Ran was angry, she didn't show her face, and Mrs. Liang didn't notice that Qiu Ran was too lazy to pay attention to her. Mrs. Liang actually guessed that the sword might be an antique, but she didn't want to admit it. Liang Siqi's sister and brother didn't bother to pay attention to her, and muttered to her alone.
Qiusheng went out to eat with everyone on his grandmother's back, and Qiuran came in and shouted, "Mom, uncle, and Grandma Liang, please go to dinner." β
Mrs. Liang didn't recognize this granddaughter, and Qiu Ran called her Grandma Liang, and she had nothing to say. Otherwise, what are you called? If you don't agree to call grandma, it's not polite to snort. Mrs. Liang had never eaten this kind of deflatedness, but she had no choice but to do it, it was all caused by herself.
