Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

It's not that he wants to resell cultural relics, there's no need to come to someone's door to bribe someone so openly.

Moreover, even if it is a bribe, what can Mr. Song do for him?

As for whether Mr. Song can find the person Yang Chen needs, then don't worry about it.

The prosperity of the world is for profit

The world is all for profit

Regardless of that era, people's pursuit and yearning for money is inevitable.

In ancient times, there was a saying that a penny of money was difficult for a hero. This shows how important money is to people.

Yang Chen is a big capitalist. A capitalist may have no conscience, and he may not pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, but he cannot lack the foundation of foothold 'money'.

As the saying goes, 'money can turn ghosts'.

Although the iron rice bowl is good, it is unavoidable that some people want to be rich and rich. People's desires are endless, especially people in this era. Everyone used to live a hard life and their families were poor.

Capitalists are not good in every way, but they can make people live the material life they want. Before the material enjoyment is not satisfied, the spiritual enjoyment can only rely on it.

Not everyone wants nothing. If there were still people who cared about the influence before, then now that the reform and opening up, some people's minds will inevitably be activated.

Soon, Father Song was called out from the study by Song Xue. Seeing a large pile of presents on the table in the living room, Father Song frowned slightly, and then turned his attention to Yang Chen who was chatting with Song Yang.

"This is Mr. Yang from Xiangjiang, right? I'm sorry, my old man is repairing manuscripts in the study, and there is no way to stop for now..."

Yang Chen: "The kid is reckless, and he took the liberty to visit. I hope Uncle Song will not be offended."

Father Song: "Mr. Yang is a guest from afar, and it's too late for our family to welcome you. Since you're here, everyone will stay and have a light meal together. Today our second child comes back, and we will have a lively night together."

Yang Chen didn't agree right away, he looked at Song Xue who was at the side, and said with a smile: "Sister Song, I'll stay at your house for a meal, you shouldn't feel bad about it!"

Hearing Yang Chen's words, the Song family father and son looked at each other, a little confused, and looked at their daughter (third sister) together.

Seeing this, Song Xue rolled her eyes, pouted her lips and said, "It's just a meal, you can still make my family poor."

Seeing her say that, Yang Chen didn't talk nonsense, "Well, since Sister Song said that, then I won't be polite."

Seeing Yang Chen's agreement, the Song family all smiled. It's New Year's Eve, who doesn't want to be more lively, not to mention that Yang Chen brought so many gifts over, it's obviously inappropriate if you don't keep people for a meal.

"Third sister, you chat with Miss He, and Mom and your second sister-in-law go to the kitchen to help your sister-in-law cook."

Chapter 629 The Grand Ceremony of Yongle

On the other side, Yang Chen followed Father Song and Song Yang into the study where Old Master Song worked.

Because it was snowing and the ground outside was slippery, Mr. Song had bad legs and feet. For safety's sake, he brought all his work home.

Regarding Yang Chen's intention to come, Song's father has already learned the news from his daughter, just like his son and daughter, Song's father can't make a decision for his old man.

However, now that the higher ups are promoting reform and opening up, coupled with Yang Chen's compatriot status, Song's father is not unwilling to help his old man to Yang Chen.

Originally, he was thinking about his old man's retirement, what should he do to help him find something to do, so as not to let the old man get sick.

Yes, that's right, it is to find a job for the old man and not let him be idle.

As we all know, once this person is free, especially the elderly who have been busy with work all year round, they absolutely cannot relax immediately.

For some people, once they retire, their spirits will change drastically without the pressure of work.

There are many diseases in life, and once the rhythm of life cultivated for decades is disrupted, various diseases in the mind and body will follow one after another.

These are not scaremongering, but are based on factual examples.

Therefore, in Father Song's view, regardless of the size of the job, in a word, he should not let his old man be idle.

An old house where a treasure.

These days, for all the people in the system, if there is no old man in charge, there will be a lot of lack of human relations.

During the war years, everyone relied on whose fists were strong, whoever had a high position, and whoever spoke would do the best.

In the peaceful age, everyone is fighting to see which old man will live longer and have a harder life. As long as the old man is alive, then as long as there are no major accidents, the family will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if Father Song is enough to take over the position of Mr. Song, the Song family still needs Mr. Song to live and continue to maintain the network of contacts of the previous generation of the Song family.

From Yang Chen's point of view, although Mr. Song is not a professional appraisal master, over the past few decades, he has refined and maintained various cultural relics, innumerable.

As the saying goes, "one master, all masters".

This person is old and mature. Sometimes old people look confused on the surface, but in fact they are like a mirror in their hearts, seeing everything clearly.

If you really think that they are old, useless, and foolish, then they are definitely not the ones who suffer.

Three generations of the Song family have worked in museums. In the circle of antiques, there are countless people they know.

If Yang Chen can really invite Mr. Song, then he doesn't need to worry about who is missing. If he wants to collect something, Mr. Song also has connections.

If you need anything, as long as you let the wind out, someone will definitely come to your door.

The most important thing is that Mr. Song is very clear about how to protect the cultural relics so as not to cause unnecessary damage.

You must know that most antique calligraphy and paintings are not easy to preserve. Once they are slightly damaged, the price will be greatly reduced.

Walking into the study, Father Song walked slowly to Old Master Song's side in small steps, only to see an old man with gray hair raised his head, nodded slightly to Yang Chen, and then continued to lower his head and busy with the work at hand.

Yang Chen was curious for a moment, so he got closer, and after he saw a table, there was a pile of fragments, and the old man was putting it together bit by bit, there were big and small pieces, so densely packed, it dazzled the viewers.

The corner of Yang Chen's mouth twitched, and he turned to look at Song Yang beside him.

Song Yang: "I heard from my grandfather that an overseas Chinese businessman came to China a few years ago and donated more than ten volumes of Yongle classics that were left overseas to the museum. Perhaps because of improper placement and poor preservation methods, nearly half of the ancient books were seriously damaged. ..."

The "Yongle Dadian" of the Ming Dynasty was compiled in the Yongle period. It was a literature review compiled by Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, who was so talented and powerful at that time, in order to show the prestige of the country and benefit all generations.

The Yongle Encyclopedia was edited successively by the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xie Xuan, and the young teacher of the prince, Yao Guangxiao, with as many as two to 3000 people participating. It took five years to complete the compilation.

Since the completion of the compilation of the Yongle Canon, it has become the most famous literature classic in Chinese history, and it is also the largest encyclopedia in the world so far.

There are as many as seven or eight thousand kinds of ancient books collected and preserved in Yongle Dadian, and its scale exceeds all the books compiled in the previous dynasties. puzzle.

The content in it includes the history, geography, literature and art, philosophy, religion, and encyclopedic documents of all dynasties before the fourteenth century, covering the intellectual wealth of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

The Yongle Encyclopedia has more than 7000 volumes and about [-] million words.

When the Yongle Canon was completed, only a copy was handed down to the world. The original has never appeared in front of the world, and the copies were scattered outside due to wars, fires and other reasons.

Yang Chen looked at the broken Yongle Grand Ceremony on the table, opened his mouth, and said with a face of disbelief: "It's all broken like this, can you still put it back together?"
