"Hey, I haven't scolded you yet! Why am I telling you all this nonsense? Get up first and stand still."
I've finished talking about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Bian family. , Ning Weimin was enjoying himself, but he never expected that something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, Kang Shude turned into a tiger and wanted to lecture him.
"What's the matter? Old man, everything has been fine this afternoon, why did I offend you?"
Ning Weimin looked at the sunny sky and then the clouds began to appear, and he looked at something approaching. Missed.
His head was full of questions. I really didn't know why Kang Shude was so angry because he was so clueless.
However, I obeyed and stood up first.
After all, it’s hard to disobey a teacher’s orders. The best way is to go along with it and don’t go head-on.
"Okay? You really have the nerve to say that."
As expected, Kang Shude was already unhappy with the unnecessary question just now.
"I said, you kid, when you were in the capital, you almost treated your home as a hotel. If you want to go back, you won't go back if you don't want to. Now that you are abroad, you really treat this place as a big car shop. I want to ask you When you come back for the New Year, do you have to rush back on New Year’s Eve? Are you so busy? How can you come back two days early and disturb the neighbors? Delayed. Also, I had promised to come back on New Year's Day, so it's fine if I don't come back. Why don't you tell your family? I'm so tired that I don't have any money to save at this house. It’s just a hotel, and you’ll always be informed if you change your mind at the last minute, right? Tell me, are you reluctant to come back just to make money? Or are you just like Adou, fascinated by the feasting and entertainment in Tokyo, and you’re too happy to be alone?”
< br>Kang Shude got angry, and Ning Weimin finally understood the reason why the old man was unhappy.
Don’t say it, these words are really heartbreaking.
Although the old man is somewhat picky and makes a fuss out of a molehill, the problem is that he knows his own affairs best.
People fall in love with money, and Japanese women are fascinated by it. These two things are basically true.
Especially on New Year's Day, he and Matsumoto Keiko were inseparable when they went out for a trip and completely forgot about the capital.
No way, no way, I didn’t even say hello.
The older generation cares about etiquette the most, so it’s no wonder that the old man is angry.
"Old man, you don't understand. It's New Year's Day. I was ill at that time. The fever was almost forty degrees, and my brain was confused..."
"Why don't you understand? Even if you don't understand, you are not like this. Are you still confused after you are sick? I am not afraid of people who are confused. Once I go to Japan, I will become ruthless and ruthless. Already..."
As soon as Ning Weimin tried to explain, the old man choked him.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, he did not dare to care about it. When fighting, he must pay attention to tactics and strategies. The same is true for pleasing his girlfriend, and the same is true for pleasing his master.
"Yes, yes...Master, what you are teaching me is...that what I did was indeed a bit inappropriate. I know I was wrong, and I will correct it. Don't be too angry, just watch my performance. Let's do it."
Kang Shude liked to hear this. Anyone who is a teacher, or even a teacher, has a feeling of liking to educate people.
"Well, as the saying goes, a lot can be improved by knowing your mistakes. I will spare you one more time. In the future, you must remember that people cannot live just for money, but also have lofty ambitions and ideals . Otherwise, don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my disciple.”
Ning Weimin laughed and nodded like a kowtowing insect.
Ke Xin said, old man, you can stand and talk without back pain.
Without funds, can bullshit ambitions be realized?
Our country is pursuing socialism. Why does it need reform and opening up?
Isn’t it just to help the people get out of poverty as soon as possible?
But the good thing is that Kang Shude's last words awakened Ning Weimin.
He immediately remembered what he had brought back in his box, and he suddenly became confused.
“Hey, Master, if you want to put it this way, I’m really a little aggrieved. I tried my best to make money on this trip. But it’s just for money and I don’t have any lofty ambitions. And ideal. That’s definitely not true.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Hey, master, I don’t dare to say that. This is a disgrace to your master. Look what I got back..."
As he spoke, he opened a suitcase.
He put a Kitty cat sticker on the zipper of the suitcase and marked it, so there is no way it will be mistaken.
Then he took out something tightly wrapped in the "Asahi Shimbun" like a treasure.
Kang Shude was immediately happy.
It's not that he is a money fan, but he has a misunderstanding.
I thought that my apprentice was simply showing off his achievements in learning and the good treasures he bought from Japan, and he lived up to the skills he taught me in identifying antiques.
So he pretended to be tapping the table with his fingers for a while, then started to look at the bag Ning Weimin had picked up.
It’s still beating in the mouth.
"You kid, don't be too confident. If you bring this thing back and let me see anything wrong, I will expel you from the school on the spot. Who told you to raise your tail!"< br>
But it turned out that there were three layers inside and three layers outside, and it was hard to take it apart.
Before it was fully opened, Guang was shocked when he saw the bronze rust color inside, "Is this...a bronze?"
"Yes, it's a bronze. Although this plate, I don't think so The one that was kicked out by my feet is very impressive. But based on the two inscriptions on it and my knowledge of the quality of copper, I can still tell that it is a good thing. But the specific age depends on it. You broke it off yourself..."
What I didn't say, Kang Shude was confused again.
Sweat broke out on his forehead. I really couldn’t believe that Ning Weimin would be so greedy.
If nothing else, this thing is hot.
When I opened it, I saw that the stuff was good and seemed to be from the Western Han Dynasty.
But among all antiques, this thing is prohibited by the government from personal collection. It is illegal.
If people really knew about it, wouldn't jail time be just around the corner?
"How can you sing?!"
Kang Shude stood up and looked outside the room, then waved Ning Weimin over and lowered his voice.
"You kid, weren't you very clear in the past? Let it go when it's time to let it go. Why do you dare to accept such a thing now? You don't think that with a French boss, the national law can't do anything to you, do you?"
"Hey, look at what you said, you misunderstood me too much."
Ning Weimin curled his lips, "How could I think that. I don't keep this thing for myself, I took it back for donation. Let’s donate it to the country as we did last time.”
“Well, that’s what you planned.”
Kang Shude finally felt at ease, but he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Ning. Weimin was worried about the cost of his patriotism.
"Then you didn't make a loss yourself? How much did you buy it for?"
"It's not much money. I found this piece in Nara after New Year's Day. The owner of the used goods didn't understand it either. He put the inscription on it It was written in Korean, and I thought it was more than fifty thousand yen. According to the current domestic exchange rate, it is less than two thousand yuan."
"Less than two thousand... "Kang Shude nodded.
I thought it was only two thousand yuan for a bronze vessel, which was not expensive at all. This business was feasible.
After all, it is an important weapon of the country. Now that we have seen it, we can’t let this thing remain in the hands of the Japanese, right?
So he was verbally praised.
"Okay, you kid did a good job in this matter. Although you suffered a personal loss, you are still worthy of your ancestors. It not only accumulated virtue for yourself, but also gained face for the master. You can barely pass the test. That’s it.”
But Ning Weimin was a little dissatisfied after hearing this.
"Master, don't force it. I spent a lot of effort and finally got it back from Tokyo. It's all for the sake of the country and the people. You just give such a low rating? You just "Aren't you proud of me?"
"Hey, aren't you satisfied?" Kang Shude was amused. "You kid, you only spent two thousand yuan... Oh, no, the government also rewards you for donating cultural relics... You only spent fifteen hundred yuan to get back such a plate from the Han Dynasty. What else do you want me to do? Are you praising you? Are you embarrassed? You can show me something big like that from the Western Zhou Dynasty, that's more like it..." When are you afraid of saying too much? .
Even Lao Jianghu cannot prepare for the day when his feet are sprained by the river.
No, Kang Shude didn’t pay attention, and the retribution of this world will come soon.
"Oh, hey, you don't like me. I told you earlier! Isn't this more..."
With a complaint, Ning Weimin Just like picking out bird's eggs, one, two, three, four, five... one by one, I took things out of the suitcase.
There are thirteen or four pieces, large and small, and without exception, they are all wrapped by the "Asahi Shimbun".
Kang Shude's eyes almost stared into pigeon eggs as he looked at the items Ning Weimin took out, each of which was heavy in weight.
He seemed to realize something, and his voice trembled.
"You...don't tell me that these are...green...bronze..."
"Old man, you are still smart. You just said it casually. . Aren’t they all bronzes? Dou, Gui, Li, Jue, Zun, Zhi, Gu. I think most of them have inscriptions. I guess one of them must be from the Western Zhou Dynasty. If you're not lucky, you can still meet someone from the Shang Dynasty. But, again, it's up to you to make the decision..."
"So many!" Kang Shude couldn't help but take a breath. "How did you get it?"
"To tell you the truth, after I recovered from my illness on New Year's Day, I went to central Japan. Not only did I go to Nara, I also went to Kyoto. There are so many flea markets in these two places. There are so many antiques from our country. Of course I bought the most important ones first.”
Well, the number of bronzes suddenly became more than a dozen. pieces. what does that mean?
It shows that Ning Weimin spent a lot of money on this.
And it also means that he is taking extraordinary risks!
"But...but this matter is so suspenseful!"
Kang Shude was not only surprised, but he couldn't help being afraid.
"You don't want your life? Why are you so brave! How dare you bring these things back blatantly! Those who know are that you want to donate, but those who don't know think you are smuggling! It's so big The amount is enough to shoot you three times if found out!"
"Don't be excited."
Ning Weimin smiled lightly knowing that the master was worried about him.
"I'm not stupid, can I risk my life? I'll tell you tomorrow. I told the embassy well before returning to China and left it for record. Over here, the Cultural Relics Bureau has already heard the news. Airport customs can't stop it. I just found out that I also have the certification documents from the embassy. So if you want to enjoy it, you have to hurry up. As soon as the three-day Spring Festival holiday is over, it’s time for the Cultural Relics Bureau to ask me for something.”
Ning Weimin's words were right, and they really reassured Kang Shude.
Of course, his generosity is enough to attract people's attention.
Because even if one piece is calculated as several thousand yuan, this donation is tens of thousands, let alone the true value of these bronzes.
After the old man calculated the accounts, he couldn't help but feel sad for his apprentice.
I really wanted to praise Ning Weimin, but I couldn't say it for the moment.
But where is this?
Ning Weimin mistakenly thought that these things could not impress his master, so he took out a lacquerware box from his suitcase.
Open it is a cloth bag.
Then he carefully opened the cloth bag and spread it on the table, revealing two more thread-bound books.
"Old man, please take a look at these two books. I want to donate them too."
"Ah! This...this is a Song edition book! You want to donate this too!"
< br>If you don’t look at it, you will be surprised. If you look at it, you will be surprised.
Kang Shude, who was holding the book in his hand, was also trembling, and he almost jumped out of his chair.
"That's right. It's absolutely authentic to the Southern Song Dynasty's Zhejiang version! Look at this character, it's a typical European style, the font is rectangular, the calligraphy strokes are meticulous, there is no slack. Every word is straight and beautiful. Again Look at the white mouth, fish tail, and double-column frame. Especially here, there is the word "Zheng" at the bottom of the center. This is the engraver's name. There is no doubt that the paper of this book is jute. Not running away! Do you have an idea of how much these two books are worth? ”
"Oh, old man. I'm not a stick. I still don't know the price of the Song edition."
Ning Weimin said calmly, "Before liberation, there was a page of the Song edition, and one tael of gold. 'That's it. Not to mention that this is a complete set of two volumes. If I give it to Liulichang, it will cost me at least 100,000. Overseas, I don't dare to say tens of millions. I'll pay 100 in Hong Kong. Ten thousand US dollars and several million Hong Kong dollars are available. Even if I bought these two books, it would cost 1.2 million yen, which is equivalent to 40,000 yuan. But the problem is that I can’t keep it myself. Although it is not illegal, as you said, keeping paper items is the most troublesome. What should I do if I keep it in my own hands? . It would be better for me to lose money than to be ruined. Anyway, I have never made any contribution to the country since I was a child. And if I can make so much money, I can just donate it even if I don’t take it from me. It’s worthy of the government. I am sorry for my ancestors. There is nothing to be reluctant to do.”
Ning Weimin expressed his feelings truthfully, and Kang Shude felt very complicated after hearing this.
Surprised? Feelings? Pity? excited? Feeling sad? Feeling distressed? Happy? Relieved?
Both! Neither!
In fact, Kang Shude himself couldn't explain clearly. He only felt that his nose was sore and uncomfortable.
"Will it be sold for more than a few million? This thing will definitely become more and more valuable in the future! Besides, even if it costs 40,000, it is worth every penny, and it is not a small number to you! Oops , plus these bronzes, how much money did you spend?"
Kang Shude muttered these words and tapped the table of the Eight Immortals table with his middle finger again.
But this time it was no longer like before, where I had no intention of teasing. Instead, I was distracted, thoughtful, and completely forgot about everything else.
Ning Weimin quickly offered words of comfort.
"Master, are you feeling sorry for me? It's okay, it's really okay. In fact, this money is nothing to your apprentice. If you don't worry about spending money, we can still make money. You probably don't know that I am in Japan. A small goal in life has been achieved..."
Ning Weimin used Wang Jianlin's standards to tease him, and was thinking about how to report to the old man without being frightened.
Tell him that his overseas wealth has expanded to hundreds of millions of yuan.
However, Kang Shude's eyes were wet, and he shed tears while stroking the two books and bronze vessels.
"No, no, you misunderstood me. You spent the right money! What you bought was worth it! There was nothing wrong with your donation! But I just feel uncomfortable. I wonder how all these things got here in the first place. It's from Japan? It's obviously ours, but now... now, it's really hard for you to buy it back! This is so fucking stupid..."
Ning Weimin was speechless.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
"Master. I understand how you feel. I am not happy when I think of this. You can also understand what it feels like when I go to Tokyo and see the Chinese cultural relics in the Tokyo Museum."
"But, after all, I am your apprentice. Although I am neither civilized nor martial, I can make calculations. I promise you, from now on, I will not do business with the Japanese, only business. . What they took away with guns, I will find a way to use business to get back."
"The world is different now. The weapon that is more powerful than guns is called 'finance'. I'm not good at grabbing things, but I still have some confidence in buying them. In fact, it's not shameful. The key is to see where the money comes from. Don't forget the old saying, the wool comes from the sheep. So the only thing I’m afraid of is that the little Japanese boy refuses to sell it.”
The words worked.
Kang Shude thought for a while, nodded. "Okay, boy, this is an interesting insight. You are my disciple. Then Master, I will live well and wait to see how you toss and pursue the victory..."
"Hey, is this over? Please give me your hand. Give it to me, you won't be disappointed."
Ning Weimin smiled and actually got another suitcase and opened it.
"Old man, we want to do something happy during the Chinese New Year. Those things just now were donated. This box of things belongs to both of us. Take a look at this, I'll give it to you What did you get back? A gift just for you. Please sit still and control your mentality. I'm afraid your blood pressure will go up..."
Kang Shude didn't expect that there would be a box of goods.
Overjoyed and expecting, he said without belief, "Stop talking nonsense. I don't believe it. We even have bronzes and Song Dynasty books. What other high-end things can you make." What else can you come up with to raise your blood pressure? You can’t..."
Well, I don’t know what’s wrong with me today, he’s too impulsive.
It turned out that it was too early to say it.
Before he finished speaking, something wrapped in yellow silk was carried to the Eight Immortals table by Ning Weimin.
When the hall was opened like this, even though Kang Shude was a man who had seen the world, his eyes lit up when he saw the things inside.
Because there is actually a seal button with a large sapphire seal of nine dragons carved on it.
Then I heard Ning Weimin say in his ear, "Old man, this is Qianlong's jade seal, the seal of Leshan Hall. What do you think of this apprenticeship?"
Kang Shude This excitement really made my blood pressure soar.
