The history of this kind of Annan money was still known by the third uncle through Ma Tan. And this kind of Annan money is related to the ancestor of the Huang family, that is, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou at that time. It should not be accidental that this Annan money appeared in the Huang family's old house.

Sure enough, Huang Wenbai took the Annan coin in his hand and looked at it carefully, and his eyes lit up at that time: "This is...... Annam Copper Coins...... Where did you get that from? ”

"This copper coin...... It was given to me by Huang Changfu. Don't you ask for tokens and credentials? As soon as I saw that Huang Wenbai really knew this copper coin, I said it to myself.

Huang Wenbai nodded, took the copper coin in his hand and looked at it again, cautiously.

I saw tears in Huang Wenbai's old eyes.

"Uncle Huang, you ...... Is this copper coin okay? I asked.

Huang Wenbai seemed to look at the copper coin and recalling something, and only when he heard what I said did he react, his expression was obviously stunned, and he hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, revealing a smile: "Okay." Absolutely. This copper coin is my Huang family's thing. ”

As he spoke, Huang Wenbai handed me the copper coin trembling again.

Although Huang Wenbai said that this is the Huang family's thing, I said that it was given to me by Huang Changfu, so the current ownership should still be with me.

However, I saw that Huang Wenbai cherished this copper coin very much, and this copper coin was of little use to us, but we just relied on it to find more clues about Wang Qian. Now that I have seen Huang Wenbai, this copper coin has no practical significance.

So I said: "Uncle Huang, since this copper coin is the Huang family's thing, then I will return it to Zhao completely, and now it is officially returned to you." ”

Huang Wenbai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pushed: "This ...... Will this work? Isn't this what my uncle gave you? ”

Huang Wenbai said that he had never met Huang Changfu, and it is estimated that the two did not know each other at all, but were just admired. But this Huang Wenbai is very concerned about family etiquette, and he respects Huang Changfu as an uncle.

I nodded: "Uncle Huang, we came in a hurry, and we didn't bring you any gifts." I will borrow flowers to offer this copper coin to the Buddha and pass it on to you. ”

Huang Wenbai was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Okay." There is a heart, there is a heart. Thank you so much...... That...... Don't stand, in the house, please. ”

Sure enough, it was a gift to do things, Huang Wenbai accepted the copper coin, hurriedly turned around and led the way, walked through the middle of the coffin in the courtyard, and took us to the main house.

Passing by the coffin where he had just been lying, I took a look and found that the coffin was covered with bedding, and it seemed that the old man really used this place as a bed for rest.

Huang Wenbai let us go to the main room, and when we went in, this room was simply too simple, and there were some tools he used to make longevity materials everywhere, and there were wood chips all over the floor.

Huang Wenbai was a little reluctant, so he hurriedly cleaned up the ground and brought us a few stools.

I think the stools are also handmade, and the workmanship is very good, but at first glance few people sit on them, and they are covered with dust.

Huang Wenbai dusted the dust with his sleeve, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for a few people, the humble house is shabby, take care of it." ”

A few of us are not fastidious people, except for Liang Yue, who frowned and didn't sit down, the three of us all sat down with a big grin.

I looked at Huang Wenbai and said, "Uncle Huang, can you tell me the story of this copper coin?" ”k

Huang Wenbai nodded: "Actually, it's nothing." At that time, my ancestor served as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and participated in the local wars during the Qianlong Dynasty......"

Huang Wenbai talked about the history of the Qing Dynasty and Annan, and what he said was almost the same as what the third uncle told me. It's just that Huang Wenbai may have said it in more detail, and he mentioned some heroic deeds of his ancestors many times during the period. It can be seen that he still respects and admires his ancestors very much.

Soon, Huang Wenbai said that at that time, in order to show goodwill to the Qing Dynasty, he proposed to mint a batch of coins engraved with the word Annam for Qianlong.

This is a historical event, and there are also many Annam coins that have survived at that time, which is well documented. These historical Ma Tan are also well understood through some means.

But what Huang Wenbai talked about next came more from his family's family history.

In almost every dynasty, there is a book that records the historical events of the dynasty, some of which have been handed down, and some of which have disappeared with the change of history. This kind of thing that happened in the dynastic is called history. It can also be called national history.

In the same way, each family can go back a few years to history, and the memorable events that took place in these families add up to the family history.

Of course, not every family will keep a family history. Many families even have problems with food and clothing, and of course there is no condition to record the changes and events of the family.

And some wealthy families, or dignitaries and the like, must be willing to use words to record their once glorious history, so as to pay tribute to future generations.

And the ancestor of the Huang family was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, which was a very high achievement at that time. Naturally, such a family history has been passed down in the family.

And this family history happens to exist here in Huang Wenbai.

Hearing this, I asked Huang Wenbai: "Uncle Huang, you and Huang Changfu are both descendants of the Huang family, but why did you and him stay in two places and be so far apart?" ”

Huang Wenbai smiled bitterly: "There are some historical reasons for this. Back then, our ancestor of the Huang family only served as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou for less than one term, so he resigned. Do you know what the reason is? ”

I shook my head, but I had doubts in my mind. The third uncle also inquired from Huang Changfu that the governor of the Huang family had only been an official for a short time before resigning.

I always thought that he had seen through the glory of the world and was indifferent to fame and fortune, but it was unlikely that he would think about it later. After all, for a person who pursues a career and his career is on the rise, how can he suddenly resign and not do it?

Huang Wenbai just asked here today, obviously he knew the detailed reason.

Huang Wenbai continued: "Actually, our ancestor of the Huang family received a secret mission at that time, so he had to return to his hometown in order to better carry out the mission. ”

I was stunned: "Secret mission? What mission is so secret, and he needs to be taken down from his official position? Isn't it more convenient to execute in an official position? ”

Huang Wenbai shook his head: "It may not be enough to describe the degree of secrecy of that mission, it may be more accurate to use secrets, secrets involving imperial power." ”

"Imperial power? Lord Qianlong? I asked.

Huang Wenbai nodded: "Yes." ”

"What's that mission?" I asked.
