Chapter 9 Antiques Fair

Look at this attitude, Ge Zhuang and I were afraid that the old man would be passionate and do something irrational. This was not the era of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Killing Japanese people at their doorstep was also illegal. Ge Zhuang hurriedly went up, snatched the kitchen knife from the old man, and said to the old Japanese devils.

"Okay, didn't you see my old man say he's going to see you off? How come you are so careless about it? Why did you bring people to my house directly when you are in business? I thought it was in 1937? The three-light policy is not good enough!"

Fujinoying had an iconic smile on her face and said that what Boss Ge said was that we really planned to come to discuss business, but when your old man saw us, his high blood pressure immediately came up, no wonder we were.

Ge Zhuang didn't have such a good temper and rapped with him. He was so handsome that he said, "Don't delay trouble." Since the old man refused to agree, our business would not be completed. Please go back."

Chen Yun knocked on the door, walked straight in, and said to the little Japanese old man, "Mr. Fujino, why did you come here?"

I raised my chin at Chen Yun, and looked surprised and said, "You know this old man?" Chen Yun is of course. This is a pharmaceutical businessman who came to visit China from Osaka, Japan. He is also very interested in archaeology and has a lot of private collections. This time he was invited to Chongqing, intending to return some national treasures that were left abroad during the war, and also brought several collections to the exhibition.

What collections do I say? They are not the antique treasures that were plundered from our country by using guns to shoot black. These things should have been returned long ago.

Fujinohawk always had a humble smile on his face, and shook hands with Chen Yun, saying, Professor Chen, I didn’t expect to meet you here, but unfortunately the atmosphere was not friendly enough, which was really embarrassing. I left first and invited you to dinner when I have time.

Chen Yun nodded busyly and said that Mr. Fujino traveled thousands of miles to come to China to attend exhibitions with his private collection. It is not easy. If you are not well received, please forgive me.

Chen Yun was sandwiched between the mud, so Ge ​​Zhuang and I were not going to get angry anymore. Fujinohawk looked back at us before leaving, and said with a smile, "Two little brothers, I like the antiques you sell me very much. As far as I know, there should be three more jars like this. If you have one, you can call me. I am still willing to talk to you about the price, which will definitely satisfy you."

Ge Zhuang was impatient and said, "Are you so annoying? Go away quickly! Even if you are a guest invited by the government and the government, you have no right to trek into a private house. My old man doesn't welcome you, so take your people away!"

Fujinohawk shrugged his shoulders and left with the gentleman's crutch. The old guy was quite arrogant and actually brought a Grand Master chair with him, carried by several bodyguards and loaded it into the car together.

After the sound of the car engine left, the old man entered the house with a cold face. Ge Zhuang followed in dejectedly and said, "Old man, why are you angry?" The little Japanese traveled thousands of miles to give us money. You should be happy."

The old man was still angry and said nothing, these Japanese are jackals. How many years have passed? You have forgotten all the experiences and lessons accumulated in history? Ge Zhuang said, "Old man, your old concept should be changed. It's not popular now, can you start? The great man Comrade Xiaoping didn't say anything, why are you so angry?

When the old man got angry, I led Chen Yun into the study. When the old man saw Chen Yun, he was very polite and said that this was Professor Chen. I often heard Sima Nan talk about you. Such a young professor is really promising. He is not like our family. He has been a child since he was a child and cannot make a personal appearance at such an old age.

Ge Zhuang was anxious and said that the dragon gave birth to a dragon, the phoenix gave birth to a phoenix, and the mouse gave birth to a cub and could dig holes. Didn’t I inherit your genes?

His words were so angry that the old man wanted to beat him up again. I quickly went up and stopped him and said, "Uncle, please calm down and I will help you deal with the fat man."

Ge Zhuang escaped the disaster and rubbed his hands and hid behind Chen Yun. Chen Yun bowed politely to the old man and said, "Hello, Mr. Ge Zhuang and you are friends, and Sima Nan's friend. I have something to do to ask you for advice."

The old man sat down, took a sip of tea, and said that Professor Chen had anything to ask, and I must have said everything. It is also considered to be grateful for your help when I was hospitalized last time.

Chen Yun smiled slightly and said, Uncle Ge, I am a junior, so don’t call me professor, just call me Xiao Chen. The old man said, are you here for those broken clay pots?

Chen Yun said you know?

The old man smiled and said, "I'm old, but I'm not confused yet. Just sit down and talk, don't be so reserved." Chen Yun walked to the opposite side of the old man and sat down and said thank you. Mr., can you tell me the origin of those jars? I found some ancient Yelang's totem patterns on those pots. I felt that these things had certain archaeological value. I wonder if you still have them at home?

The old man pointed at Ge Zhuang and said that there were four in the family, all of which gave them unscrupulous things. One of them had been taken away by the Japanese, and the remaining three were left. The Japanese still wanted them. I didn't agree. Will you not be arguing? I had known that this kid would sell the things he passed down to the Japanese, so I wouldn't give them anything to him.

Ge Zhuang muttered a big mouth and said, "Old man, what you said, I'm just trying to save more money. I'm filial to you when I'm old? Besides, those broken jars are used by my mother to hold pickles and rice jars. It's not worth staying at home. Do you still plan to be used as burial objects and buried in the coffin together? There is such a large coffin that can be filled... Oh, don't throw the book away from me!

The fat man said this more and more distorted. The old man became so angry that he was confused. When he was excited, he almost threw the inkstone on his forehead. I quickly stopped him and said, "Fat man, stop talking anymore. The old man became sick later. What should you do!"

After a while of ease, Chen Yun continued to ask, "Old man, can you tell me the story here? How did the old man get these jars?"

Uncle Ge thought about it and said that I didn’t know the specific process. My father followed the Sichuan Army to fight. At that time, I was still young and fought the Japanese devils for several years. When I heard the news from the front line, he said that he died on the battlefield. One of my cousins ​​went to the Northeast and spent money to ask someone to transport his body back. It was already the matter after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The old man is 62 years old and was born in 1938. The full victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan was in 1945. He was less than 8 years old. I can't remember what happened at that time. When he joined the army, Jiang Bald had already retreated to Taiwan. Later, he went to the battlefield to fight South Korea and Vietnam, and did not directly participate in the struggle with Japan.

I couldn't find out the origin of the jars from the old man, and Chen Yun was not depressed. She stood up and said goodbye. The old man asked Ge Zhuang and I to see her off. We accompanied Chen Yun back again. I asked Chen Yun what he planned to investigate next?

She said Fujinohawk was a very smart businessman. Since he was willing to spend such a big price to buy these jars, he must know something, and I plan to start with him.

Ge Zhuang said, are you planning to hand over the jar to him?

Chen Yun smiled and said, "How is that possible? Actually, I don't have any good feelings for these Japanese people. It's just because the situation is forced. Who told us to ask for help? By the way, the Municipal Museum will hold an antique exhibition in two days, and there will be many private collections lost overseas to participate in the exhibition. Speaking of which, these things were originally treasures of our country, but for some historical reasons, they have now fallen into the hands of foreigners. The municipal government and government try their best to "borrow" these antiques, but they have to look at the expressions of the foreigners. Alas!

Ge Zhuang suggested that you might as well think of a trick for you, get all these exhibits away and keep them in China forever, anyway, these are all treasures belonging to our country!

Chen Yun said, don’t do anything randomly. The above attaches great importance to this exhibition. Military and police are standing guard everywhere. They can’t even enter the door without ticket letters. I tell you this. I want to say that if you are interested, I can get two tickets for you.

I said let’s forget it, just watch TV broadcasts at home, and whoever has time to go to see an exhibition? Chen Yun said, don’t you want to know who the host is?

I said it was you? Chen Yun blinked and said you guessed it right, I thought you would support it.

Ge Zhuang said sarcastically, "Get it, big girl, if you go to host the exhibition, those foreigners don't look at the collection, just look at you. I may all show one or two handsome and rich people. If the collection is not retained, our country will have to pay an archaeological professor to marry from the ocean. Are you wronged?
