The history of the South Building of the Peace Hotel can be traced back to the fourth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1854, and it was rebuilt in 1906 and has been preserved to this day.

It is located in the complex of buildings of all countries, the address is No. 19 on the Bund, and its reputation is well-known at home and abroad, and celebrities such as Lu Xun, Song Qingling, and Chaplin have lived here.

Adopting a new Chicago neo-Gothic style, the exterior wall is made of granite stone blocks, entered through the revolving hall door, the lobby floor is paved with creamy white Italian marble, and the top bronze openwork chandelier is luxurious and elegant, and has the reputation of "the first building in the Far East".

Under the leadership of the staff of the Peace Hotel, Han Xuan stayed in the Sassoon Presidential Suite of the hotel, the price of one night was 88,000 yuan, and non-political and celebrity were not allowed to stay, so his identity was naturally enough.

Located on the 10th floor, the 550-square-metre Sassoon Presidential Suite features a separate living room, dining room and study, with unrivalled views of the Whampoa River and the Bund Complex.

It hasn't been renovated for many years, the decoration is a bit old, and you can know if a hotel is enough to see if you can visit the presidential suite.

I poured a glass of warm water, found a room after drinking, lifted the quilt and lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep without even changing my clothes......

The next day.

When Han Xuan got up, his short sleeves were wrinkled, and his head was groggy.

It was cloudy today, the night was cool, and he didn't close the window.

After brushing your teeth, wash your face, take a tissue and wring your nose clean, a piece of paper is not enough, and your breathing is still not smooth, probably because of a cold.

It's just a small cold, no need to take medicine, take too many antibiotics, the body's immunity will decline, and his parents won't give him those until the last resort.

Breakfast was sumptuous, with soup dumplings, preserved egg and lean porridge, delicate pastries, eggs, milk, etc., on a table that could accommodate 10 people at the same time.

He and Anya definitely couldn't finish eating it all, so they beckoned to the two secretaries and bodyguards and said, "Take whatever you want to eat, come and come together."

I've been hoping to eat soup dumplings for a long time, but I don't have an appetite today, so I'll drink some porridge......"

Hearing Han Xuan's muttering voice, Anya asked him, "Why did you catch a cold?" ”

"I forgot to close the window last night and it froze.

A cold is not a disease, and it will recover naturally after a few days. ”

Secretary Dawson didn't think so, and walked over and covered Han Xuan's head with his hand.

Han Xuan was slightly stunned, Secretary Dawson had never dared to do this before, and then said, "Don't worry."

It's really fine, I'll know myself if I have a fever......"

Suddenly, I saw a photograph in a cupboard.

This room was once the private room of the hotel's founder, Mr. Sassoon, and many of his precious items have been preserved, such as a photo of the Jiang Guangtou couple, the American comedy master Charlie Chaplin and the heroine of "Modern Times" Pauline Gaudette, the British writer Sir Carill, etc.

There were many people on the photo he saw, which should be very historical, because of the poor camera technology back then, most of the faces were blurred, and the names of each person were deliberately marked with a black pen.

Han Xuan was dumbfounded, among which there were Einstein, Marie Curie, Schrödinger, Dirac, Bohr, Planck and other well-known physicists, this is definitely a group photo of the world's highest IQ.

Muttered to himself: "If a truck crashes into it when taking pictures, I estimate that a modern physics textbook will be at least half thinner." ”

Secretary Shen Yutong, who heard this, almost choked on the egg, slapped his chest hard, raised his head and drank saliva to moisten, his expression was uncomfortable to laugh and ......

There are many photos in the cupboard, and there are many Han Xuan who can recognize who it is.

Unexpectedly saw a woman in the photo, he was surprised to find that this person had seen it himself, and not long after seeing it, she was clearly his grandmother!

Needless to say, the little girl in her arms is naturally her mother, and even the position of the mole on the back of her hand is the same, the photo of her mother when she was a child, Han Xuan has seen it, and it is exactly the same as this little girl.

I've never heard my mother talk about coming to China, and the background is clearly here on the Bund.

The reason why this photo can be put in is because the old man standing next to them is known to almost everyone in the whole country, and it is definitely the prime minister himself!

"What are you kidding, my mother actually met the prime minister when she was a child?!"

Han Xuan had such a question in his heart.

I didn't have an appetite for it now, and now I don't want to eat breakfast, so I tried to take out this photo from the cupboard, but found that it was locked.

I was puzzled about the identity of my grandmother, and if I thought about it carefully, they never seemed to mention their grandmother's life experience from childhood to grandfather.

Could it be an ordinary person who could let the old man take a photo together?

Of course it can't be, thinking that maybe my grandmother left back then, it was really a last resort......

I asked people to check the car parked at the door of Villa No. 1, but later found that it belonged to a car rental company, and the renter paid with a large amount of cash, and even the identity was not registered, and the clue was broken here.

Xiangjiang is only so big, and the population is not much, but it is not too much, and it is not easy to find someone to come out in that big city.

Unexpectedly, there was news about my grandmother now, so I called my mother, and after she was woken up, she asked tentatively: "Mom, have you ever been to the Shanghai market in China when you were a child?" ”

"Huaxia?

I haven't been there, but I've heard that the scenery in some places in China is very good, so you're over there now, right?

If I'm in the mood, maybe I'll travel with you, your dad is so annoying, I don't want to go out with him anymore......"

Ignoring his mother's complaints, Han Xuan hung up the phone directly after hearing that there was no.

Looking at her appearance, she was only three or four years old at most, and she didn't remember what happened normally when she was a child.

Pick up the landline earpiece and call the front desk, let people find the hotel can manage things, and soon, the lobby manager of the hotel came to knock on the door, bowed slightly, and said to Han Xuan in English: "Good morning."

Young Master Han, is there anything I can help you?

Just now, a reporter came to look for you, but we stopped him, and now he is still at the door of the hotel, I don't know if you want to see him......"

Han Xuan hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Fortunately, you came quickly, otherwise I would have smashed the glass, hurry up and help me open the display case, I want to see a photo." ”

The lobby manager was confused, followed Han Xuan into the room, and when he saw the photo, he asked, "Why do you want this photo?"

The negatives are gone, there is only this one in the world, and if you like it, it doesn't matter if you give it to you.

This display case has not been opened for a long time, and because it is sealed, it does not need to be cleaned often.

You wait, I'll ask where the key is, the manager should know. ”

"Well, please try to hurry.

The little girl in the photo seems to be my mother, do you know why she is here, the hotel should have a check-in list, right? ”

The manager looked embarrassed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's all stored in the warehouse, are you sure you want to check?" ”
