Professor Tian was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhuang Rui, and then said: "From beginning to end, this matter was all caused by your son-in-law..."
Tian Fan didn't know that Zhuang Rui was so secretive about this matter. Even his father-in-law didn't know about it, so he said it casually. He also had some thoughts of revenge against Zhuang Rui. This kid's previous behavior was like using himself as a weapon.
.
"What?!"
Qin Haoran spurted out the glass of wine he had just drank. He looked at Zhuang Rui with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Dad, don't get excited..."
Qin Haoran's excitement didn't matter, he sprayed all the wine on Zhuang Rui's body, causing Zhuang Rui to wipe it with a tissue in a hurry.
"Xiao Rui, is what Brother Tian said true?"
Qin Haoran did not expect that his son-in-law, who had always been relatively low-key, would actually plan such a big event. It can be said that in the past two months, the relationship between China and Japan has become somewhat tense because of this incident.
.
Of course, the relationship between the two countries has never been really good, and it has always been a superficial friendship.
There was heating in the hall, and after Zhuang Rui took off his jacket that smelled of alcohol, he looked at Qin Haoran and said, "Dad, I didn't expect that this matter would cause such a big disturbance.
The thing is like this. Some time ago, a ceramics research institute that I invested in successfully produced imitation porcelain from the Cizhou official kiln...
Originally, I wanted to go to a friend's auction house to test the water and see if it could be identified. Who knew that the guy named Shan Mu was going to buy it. I had already raised the price very high, but it was still rejected.
He bought it, so I just put money into my hand, I can’t let it go, right?”
Zhuang Rui had a very aggrieved expression on his face, and both Qin Haoran and Professor Tian were speechless. This guy was a typical example of taking advantage and being obedient, and by the way, he slapped the other person's ear in the end.
If you don't want to sell it, there are many ways to do it, just smash it on the spot and it's over? Or you can hold it back and deliberately raise the price to let others buy it back?
Qin Haoran discovered for the first time that his seemingly honest son-in-law was actually the kind of wise and foolish owner who would help Zhuang Rui count the money after selling him!
"Then...then why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
Qin Haoran was dumbfounded by the twists and turns of the story. After Zhuang Rui finished speaking, he remembered that his son-in-law acted confidently when he and others were anxious yesterday.
?
"Dad, aren't you embarrassed to brag about yourself?"
Zhuang Rui's words were even more lethal, causing Professor Tian and Peng Fei who were sitting next to them to spit out their wine at the same time, and a burst of laughter rang out in the room.
"Now a news break. I just received news that there was a jumping incident in the Ginza Building in Tokyo, Japan...
After verification, the identity of the deceased was the president of the Japan Ceramics Association. He was 52 years old. He died on the spot after falling from the building. After preliminary investigation, it was found that Nogo committed suicide. The specific reason remains to be investigated..."
When Zhuang Rui and others were chatting happily, suddenly a piece of news on the TV attracted the attention of several people, and for a while, the room fell silent.
The ones who felt the biggest impact were naturally Zhuang Rui and Professor Tian who had just left Japan. Neither of them could have imagined that Nohe would actually end his life by committing suicide in response to the scandal that happened in Japan.
Although the news said that the cause of suicide was unknown, everyone knew that the trigger for Nohe's suicide was the "ancient porcelain" incident.
Qin Haoran was afraid that Zhuang Rui and the others would have some psychological burden, so he quickly said: "Xiao Rui, brother Tian, you can't be blamed for this. It's entirely the fault of these Japanese..."
"That's right, brother, if it goes as I want, I'll just give these two people..."
"Okay, Peng Fei, go accompany your wife, don't talk nonsense..." Zhuang Rui interrupted Peng Fei. No matter what, this is the passing of a life.
"Xiao Zhuang, no matter how many Japanese devils die, we will not be sad. I think back then my grandfather was a member of the 29th Army Sword Team and personally chopped off the heads of twenty-two little devils..."
Professor Tian was not affected at all. After hearing the news, he actually drank three glasses of wine in succession. Especially after these words were spoken, Professor Tian's thin body actually made everyone feel a kind of rough pride.
Come.
"Haha, I'm fine, it's just that the news is a bit sudden..." Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this.
In fact, after that trip to the island, Zhuang Rui's mind was not as fragile as everyone thought. At least he had murderous intentions towards Muta. If King Kong hadn't done it for him, Zhuang Rui would have killed Muta himself.
Therefore, Yehe's suicide only made Zhuang Rui feel a little awkward. This is also human nature. Anyone who knows that someone he has seen or is familiar with dies, whether that person is a friend or an enemy, will definitely have some emotional fluctuations.
Zhuang Rui looked at the news reports and did not mention a word about Japan's attitude towards the "ancient porcelain" incident. He already knew in his heart that after Yehe died, he would also be splashed with dirty water.
"If my grandfather hadn't been stabbed several times in his early years, he wouldn't have died after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Come on, drink!"
Professor Tian's performance today impressed Zhuang Rui. He was originally a very elegant and quiet person, but he also had a bold and majestic side. Although he was not tall, he was full of momentum.
"Teacher Tian, let's talk about your grandfather..."
Zhuang Rui didn't want to get entangled in the "ancient porcelain" incident anymore, so he deliberately changed the topic.
"Hey, if you want to talk about my grandfather, he was also the number one figure at that time. Even Chiang Kai-shek knew about his big sword, and he was also awarded the "Blue Sky and White Sun" medal..."
Professor Tian was also half drunk. When he heard Zhuang Rui mentioning his ancestors, he suddenly started talking with joy.
After listening to Professor Tian's report of the family tree, Zhuang Rui and others knew that Professor Tian's ancestors had quite a long history.
It turns out that Professor Tian's ancestors came from a family of martial arts practitioners and were well-known in the Hebei area. However, in the 1920s of the last century, Professor Tian's grandfather joined Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army.
The old man followed Marshal Feng on many expeditions in the north and south. He was the battalion commander when he participated in the Battle of Xifengkou on the Great Wall, and was promoted to regimental commander because of his bravery in combat.
However, Professor Tian's grandfather later left the army because he was no longer fit to stay in the army due to multiple injuries on his body.
Among the Kuomintang troops at that time, no matter whether they were regular troops or local troops, no matter whether they were anti-Japanese heroes or civil war pioneers, as long as they were officials, there were few who were not greedy.
The same is true for Professor Tian's grandfather. After more than ten years in the army, he also accumulated a lot of money. After returning to the local area, in addition to getting a wife, he married two concubines when he was over 50 years old. He didn't know about his physical condition.
How can I hold on?
Professor Tian's father was a student at Peking University. After graduation, he opened an antique shop in Beijing with the money he embezzled in the army. He did not inherit the family business from his ancestors and gave up martial arts to pursue literature.
Although the antique shop disappeared after liberation, Professor Tian still pursued the antique business under the influence of his father, and he has made some achievements to this day.
However, in Professor Tian's body, the hardened blood of his ancestors still flows. He went to Japan this time with the mentality of fighting another anti-Japanese war.
Therefore, Professor Tian and the Japanese can be regarded as feuding. When he saw Nohe committing suicide, he felt only happy, and the wine became more and more fragrant.
This meal lasted for more than three hours. The few people here were all well-informed about the past and present, and they had a great time chatting. In the end, Professor Tian also drank too much and sang "Big Sword to the Japs"
Cut off the head." Zhuang Rui helped him to the guest room to rest.
In the following days, news from Tokyo continued to reach Zhuang Rui's ears. What surprised him was that after Nohe committed suicide, Yamaki also followed closely and committed suicide by caesarean section in his apartment. He was almost dead.
A little more courageous than Nogo.
When relevant parties searched their residence, they found that both of them had left suicide notes. Yamaki even left a video recording, in which he explained that the incident was their private behavior and expressed remorse for the harm caused to the Japanese people.
.
Nogai's suicide note was also similar. They all apologized to the Japanese government or people, but did not mention a single word about the adverse impact this incident had on China.
After Zhuang Rui saw this news report, the last trace of guilt in his heart disappeared.
Subsequently, the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs held a press conference and made a summary report on the incident. The theme was of course that the two dead ghosts were poured dirty water on, and the government only assumed the responsibility for poor supervision.
At this point, this uproarous incident for more than two months has finally come to an end.
However, this incident still left a profound impact. At least the Japanese academic community no longer dared to talk about topics such as Chinese culture being inherited from Japan.
Even the Koreans who originally promoted Qu Yuan and Confucius as citizens of their country have since stopped talking about this topic. It is really that "Made in China" is too powerful. It not only defrauded hundreds of millions, but also forced people to die.
Between the two of us, who dares to touch this brow?
After Zhuang Rui had a lively New Year, he focused mainly on his studies. This year is his last year of graduate school, and it will also be the busiest year, because not only does he have to write a graduation thesis, but Zhuang Rui also has a graduation thesis to write.
Rui also needs to participate in archaeological excavations.
However, Zhuang Rui felt that more than two years was not enough for him to understand the profound and profound history of ancient China, so he finally chose to continue studying as a doctoral student under Professor Meng.
