Zhou Hexuan played with the white jade finger and walked straight in.
"Stop," a staff member immediately shouted, "If you want to visit, buy a ticket first!"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Brother, I'm here to find someone."
The staff member said: "Don't try to trick me. I've seen too many people trying to evade fares. Even if you find someone, you still have to buy a ticket."
"Okay, how much does one cost?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
The staff said: "The price has increased recently, the ticket costs 5 cents."
After Zhou Hexuan paid for the ticket, he asked: "Where is Mr. Ma Hengma?"
"Are you really here to find someone?" the staff member asked in surprise.
"What do you think?" Zhou Hexuan said amusedly.
The staff member quickly said: "Then I will ask someone to take you in. This palace is very big, and you might get lost if you are not careful."
In his previous life, Zhou Hexuan visited the Forbidden City several times, and now he has visited the Forbidden City again. But this time it is really new, everything is original, and there are no modern facilities. Only when you walk into certain houses can you find electric lights.
.
Although the director of the Palace Museum at this time was Yi Peiji, the director and deputy director were both in the south. The person who actually presided over daily affairs was Ma Heng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Palace Museum Maintenance Committee.
When I met Ma Heng, the gentleman was sorting out items of cultural relics.
Zhou Hexuan cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Mr. Shuping, you are fine!"
Ma Heng raised his head in surprise and said, "Principal Zhou, why are you here?"
Zhou Hexuan joked: "I'm here to arrest you for returning to Peking University to teach. Why don't you come with me quickly?"
"Peking University has resumed classes?" Ma Heng asked.
"It's almost time," Zhou Hexuan took out the white jade finger ring and said with a smile, "I'm here to present the treasure, please register."
Ma Heng took the ring, glanced at Qinse and said, "This is a burial object, and it was just unearthed."
Zhou Hexuan said truthfully: "Sun Dianying took this jade ring off Qianlong's finger. He used it to bribe me, so that Ta Kung Pao would no longer report on the tomb robbery."
"This bastard has done all kinds of immoral things," Ma Heng cursed, and then said solemnly, "Ma Heng admires you for not being selfish when you see the treasure."
"Don't admire me, I'm just too lazy to show off." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
This is the truth. Even Sun Dianying's bribery of Chang Kai to apply for the Nine Dragon Sword will be exposed in the future.
With Sun Dianying's big mouth, he might one day say: Zhou Hexuan, I gave him a ring, and he accepted it on the spot.
Zhou Hexuan is rich now. He has hundreds of thousands of dollars saved in the bank. He doesn't need to be stigmatized because of this thing. Even if he wants to collect cultural relics, he can just buy it from Sun Dianying. Sun is in a hurry to sell the stolen goods, and the price is very cheap.
very.
Ma Heng immediately took Zhou Hexuan to the archives room and asked two colleagues to testify. He wrote down the situation of the jade ring in detail, and the three of them signed and stamped their fingerprints on the file form. Then they asked Zhou Hexuan to sign, and then the donation process was completed.
.
Zhou Hexuan was very satisfied. This group of people were pure protectors of cultural relics. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, they also worked hard to transport the treasures from the Forbidden City thousands of miles to the southwest, and some people even died doing so.
After they filed away the Qianlong White Jade Ring, Zhou Hexuan said to Ma Heng: "Mr. Shuping, classes at Peking University will resume tomorrow. Are you willing to go back to teach?"
Ma Heng thought for a while and wondered why: "I am in charge of the Forbidden City now, and I am really busy. If I go back to teach, I can only have one class a day at most."
"One class is enough," Zhou Hexuan lamented. "To be honest, the student representatives of Peking University have worked hard in many ways, but now they have only persuaded more than 20 teachers to resume classes. Many teachers saw that there was no hope of resuming classes, so they resigned and went to other schools."
"Then I will definitely be there tomorrow!" Ma Heng promised, patting his chest.
Zhou Hexuan stayed in the Forbidden City until Ma Heng got off work, and then went back to Peking University with him.
Ma Heng also works as a professor at Peking University. The whole family lives in private houses near Peking University and has not moved to the Forbidden City yet.
So Peking University is poor. There are not even a few dormitories on campus, and the accommodation conditions are extremely poor. There are eight students in each dormitory, and it is very cold in winter. There is no heating, so students have to burn their own briquette stoves to survive the winter.
Peking University students who have a little money all rent houses outside. If you knock on any house on Jingshan East Street and the beach area, half of the people who open the door are Peking University students, and a few are Peking University teachers.
Only principals like Zhou Hexuan can live in a single room at Peking University.
Tsinghua University is different. They are rich, handsome, and the professors live in the mansions of former Qing princes. If Zhu Ziqing taught at Peking University, he would definitely not be able to write "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond". At most, he would write "Night on the East Street".
Beijing Normal University was very interesting. Food and accommodation were included, and even meal money was free. Moreover, the food was pretty good, with six dishes and one soup. Teachers, staff and students ate in the same cafeteria, so Beijing Normal University at that time was also known as
For "Eating University".
Li Shi once forcibly merged nine public universities, but did not consider the specific conditions of these universities. For example, the accommodation and food conditions are very different, and the tuition fees are very different. Who should be used as the standard after the merger?
Normal schools like Beijing Normal University are tuition-free. What will happen after the merger? Is there no fee for normal majors, but will there be fees for non-normal majors like Peking University?
In the same university, why are the treatments different?
If you don't charge any fees, it violates education regulations. How can you make other schools and students embarrassed?
Sometimes when making reforms, we must not only consider the general direction, but also small details such as this, otherwise it will never succeed.
When the two of them passed by East Street in a rickshaw, Ma Heng said, "Principal Zhou, come to my house for a quick meal."
"No, I can just find a restaurant." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile. He will stay at Peking University tonight, and dozens of reporters will come tomorrow, planning and preparing for a big news.
"Let's go, let's go. It's so convenient to eat at home." Ma Heng forced Zhou Hexuan to go home.
What left Zhou Hexuan speechless was that Ma Heng actually dragged him to Ma Yuzao's house to eat... He had agreed to eat at his own home!
Ma Heng had a total of 10 children, but they all stayed in Shanghai at this time, while he himself lived in a rented house in Peking and lived a bachelor's life.
Ma Heng's father-in-law was a very rich man and a well-known hardware king in Shanghai. Therefore, Ma Heng had no worries about food and clothing throughout his life and had a lot of free time to study antiques and cultural relics. He was praised by Yu Youren as "the first person in metal and stone".
Unfortunately, the marriage was somewhat unhappy. Ma Heng's wife had acquired bad habits early on. She started playing mahjong and smoking cigarettes when she was a teenager. She was also spoiled and had a bad temper. Ma Heng probably couldn't get along with his wife, so he stayed in Peiping all year round.
.
"Second brother, who do you think is here?" Ma Heng smiled and pushed the door open.
A girl in the room smiled and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhou! Hello, Mr. Zhou, my name is Ma Jue."
