However, what people didn't expect was that after fifty years of separation, there was no news about Fang Yun's changes. Ma Heng had been in Taiwan for fifty years. Although he got a promotion and a salary increase and started a family, he missed his hometown folks in the mainland all the time.
and his wife and children. Soon, his Taiwanese wife gave birth to a boy for Ma Heng. Ma Heng named him Matthew Wu, which means that the son will never forget his homeland or his people.
However, things are unpredictable. When Matthew Wu was 20 years old, Ma Heng became seriously ill. Before he died, Ma Heng said to Matthew Wu sincerely: "Son, I'm going to meet your grandfather. You must find ways to save me after I die."
Send my ashes back to the motherland, and bury me next to your grandfather. In life, I am a member of the Ma family, and in death, I am a ghost of the Ma family. Remember..."
After saying that, Ma Heng handed half of the jade safety buckle he kept in his arms to his son Matthew Wu, and then died with hatred in his eyes. After the death of Ma Heng, who was born at the wrong time, Matthew Wu caught up with the good times.
Fulfilling his father's last words, Matthew Wu took his father's ashes and embarked on the journey to find his relatives and recognize his ancestors.
When they arrived at Mazhuang, Xiuwu County and saw the silver-haired Zhou family, the Zhou family did not dare to recognize each other. Matthew Wu then "thumped" and knelt in front of the Zhou family, dragging half of his father's jade with both hands to secure the buckle.
Said: "Mom, do you recognize this...".
As soon as Mrs. Zhou saw it, her eyes fell like rain. Then, Mrs. Zhou took out the other half of the jadeite safety button that she had saved for half a century, then hugged Xiu Xiuwu in her arms and cried loudly: "My son..."
After telling the story, Lin Meiru added: "A jade safety button is a tragedy and comedy in the world. To this day, the legendary story about the jade safety button is still circulated in Zhouzhuang and Mazhuang."
After listening to Lin Meiru tell this story, Li Tianbao seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but it seemed that "Ma Heng" was not from the Anti-Japanese War era, but happened during the Liberation War.
Li Tianbao, who was a bit strange, understood Lin Meiru's intention with a little thought.
"Ahem!" Li Tianbao coughed and glanced at the "cunning" Lin Meiru. Then he said to Shimei Miyazaki who was moved to tears by the story: "Look at the good things you little Japanese have done. If it weren't for you, Ma Hengneng
Do you hate Taiwan?"
"I'm really sorry!" Miyazaki Shimi said, bowing her head slightly.
Li Tianbao looked at Shimi Miyazaki, who was not disgusted with her, and thought, "Li Tianbao, Li Tianbao, you said you are a Chinese man, how can you compete with a little Japanese girl? You are so worthless."
After thinking about it, Li Tianbao said calmly: "Forget it, it has nothing to do with you, it's all in the past."
"Thank you, 'Master'."
At this time, when Miyazaki Shimi called Li Tianbao "Master", Li Tianbao felt a little unnatural.
Lin Meiru was so ridiculous after hearing this, she said to Li Tianbao: "Hey, how did you make a Japanese beauty so obedient? If you don't know a word, I would think you are the former Manchu Eight Banners."
!”
"Go, go, don't rush me. To tell you the truth, if she hadn't been Japanese, I would have taken her as my wife." After speaking, Li Tianbao habitually stretched out his hand to touch Miyazaki Shimi's slender waist.
She thought that when she treated Du Yuexin like this, she had never objected, but now Miyazaki Shimi was different. As soon as Li Tianbao touched her waist, Miyazaki Shimi instinctively dodged to the side.
Li Tianbao originally wanted to show off in front of Lin Meiru, but it backfired and caused a burst of laughter and ridicule from Lin Meiru.
"Forget it, you women know how to embarrass me."
After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he reached for the jade safety buckle in Miyazaki Shimi's hand and left alone, looking for a place to exchange it for cash to "bid" for the colorful jade stone.
"Wait a minute." After Miyazaki Shimi stopped Li Tianbao, he asked softly: "Is this the piece of jade carved from yesterday?"
"That's right, it's the same piece of jade carved from yesterday. This level of jade is called 'Emperor Green Jade'."
After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he continued: "Did you regret it and want to get that piece of jade back?"
"Of course not, how could I regret it? I just really like this safety buckle. Can you sell me one? I'm willing to pay one million euros." After Miyazaki Shimi finished speaking, he tilted his head and revealed a gentle smile.
smile.
"One million euros!" Li Tianbao was naturally very happy after hearing this.
Lin Meiru also came up to Li Tianbao and said: "It's a good thing, I sold it to this silly girl, and I just happened to bid for the jade material."
"Go, go, you're the only one who's smart. Plus, I teased her several times yesterday. I'm so embarrassed that you still call her a stupid girl."
Li Tianbao continued: "The thing originally belonged to her, and I was lucky enough to encounter such a good thing yesterday. If she is a nasty guy, then that's fine. Look at her sensible look, how can I bear it!"
"Hey, you idiot, why are you thinking about Japanese women?" Lin Meiru said angrily.
"Okay, there are plenty of safety buckles. I'll go find that old Beijing boss tonight to get the other three bucks. Then I'll just buy one and be done with it."
When Lin Meiru heard Li Tianbao say there were three more, she was surprised and said: "Good guy, there are three more. How big a piece of imperial green jade did you get?"
Li Tianbao ignored Lin Meiru, but handed the box to Shimi Miyazaki opposite, saying: "Here it is, and I won't take the money. The things are yours. If you want them, I can return the others."
for you."
Li Tianbao knew that this girl had a lot of money and would definitely not go back on her word and ask for the jade materials back, so he told her so generously. In fact, he was reluctant to part with those priceless jade materials, but I still have to show my face as a Chinese man.
Especially to friendly people.
Shimi Miyazaki took the safety buckle that she liked and said sheepishly: "That's no good. The thing already belongs to you. Processing and other things require money. How can I take your thing for nothing."
"It's okay, Master, I'm not bad at this, take it." In fact, Li Tianbao is really just short of this now, but in front of the Japanese, his self-esteem has become even higher.
Li Tianbao's generosity made Miyazaki Shimi unable to refuse. He followed a standard Japanese etiquette and said: "Then I will thank you, Master."
"Okay, okay, my friends all call me Xiaobao, will you still call me Xiaobao from now on?"
"I still think it's good to call you 'Master'." Miyazaki Shimi lowered her head as if Li Tianbao asked her to change her words, and she looked a little unhappy.
"Yes, yes, you can call me whatever you like." I really have to go, there are still important things to do.
Lin Meiru wanted to follow, but was stopped by Li Tianbao and said: "Miss Lin, please don't follow. Look at the 'colorful jade' here and don't let others get there first."
Li Tianbao didn't want her to look at the "colorful jade". He was afraid that after Lin Meiru saw his imperial green jade, she would stick to him and ask for it from him. Those things were very precious, but Li Tianbao wanted to let it be there.
This is a jewelry store that gives away all the people who care about the appearance of the store and still does nothing.
When Li Tianbao went out, he walked to the roadside, wanting to stop a taxi and go find the old naughty master to get some other pieces of imperial green jade.
After stopping several drivers in a row, none of them spoke Chinese and could not communicate, so Li Tianbao could only continue to look for taxi drivers who could speak Chinese. At this moment, a Cadillac XLR convertible stopped in front of Li Tianbao.
Li Tianbao recognized the man on board at a glance.
"'Miyazaki'! Why did you come out?"
"Get in the car and I'll take you wherever you want to go." Miyazaki said with a smile.
After getting on the bus, Li Tianbao said: "Are you familiar with this place?"
"I stay here for a month every year during the Jade Public Sale. It has been six years since my father brought me here when I was sixteen and now I come here by myself."
"What is your home for?"
"Haha, you really don't know about the Miyazaki family in Japan. Starting from my grandfather's generation, the Miyazaki family has been making branded jewelry for three generations, and has successively acquired many jewelry companies in Asia, Europe and the United States."
"Good guy, then I'm working on the jewelry princess's car now!" Li Tianbao said sarcastically.
The two of them chatted and came to the door of "Hua Cuifang". Li Tianbao got out of the car and walked in with Miyazaki Shimi.
"Old man, I'm here." Li Tianbao walked in and said to the old man lying on the counter and snoring.
The old naughty master woke up only after being called by Li Tianbao. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Boy, man, it took me two days and one night to finish this job for you. Look." After that, the old man took three pills.
The safety buckle and six rings were placed on the counter.
"It's so beautiful." Miyazaki Shimi immediately admired the craftsmanship. Especially the crystal clear ring faces, six ring faces and six different shapes, which are quite high-quality.
"If you don't say that all the talented people are in the market, old man, I really admire your craftsmanship." Li Tianbao said in admiration again.
The old stubborn man glanced at Miyazaki Shimi, then winked at Li Tianbao and whispered: "Man, I really have you, a Burmese policewoman and a Japanese rich girl, you are really awesome."
"Old man, you have really sharp eyes. You can recognize her as a Japanese at a glance. I think you shouldn't be doing carving, but should be gambling on stones, because your eyes are so powerful?"
Stop talking nonsense. I don’t want the processing fee. You can take your things with you. I think you are in a hurry. But before you go back to China, you should come over and have a good drink with me. I still have a few bottles here that were brought by my trustee last year.
As for Erguotou, that’s a good thing.”
"No problem, I forgot to tell you that I am also an 'alcoholic'." Li Tianbao said and put the things in his bag, but left an emerald safety buckle.
The old naughty master saw Li Tianbao turning around to leave and said quickly: "Boy, wait, there is another one!"
"I said last time that I would leave one for you. Do you think I, Li Tianbao, am joking?"
Li Tianbao smiled and continued: "I'm telling you that I'm serious about keeping safe. I hope you'll be safe in a foreign country. But I hope you'd better go back to Beijing. After all, it's our home.
, it would be a pity if it turns out to be the same as 'Ma Heng', what do you think?"
After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he took Miyazaki out without looking back.
At this time, Li Tianbao did not know that although this jade safety buckle was extremely valuable, what the old naughty master later used to "repay the gift" would be a "treasure" that shocked the cultural relics community across the country.
