Chapter 52
: The past in ruins
Baolanhou also sighed and said: "Little boy, this is because you know the goods. If you meet someone who doesn't know the goods, this missing corner Daqi Tongbao will eventually be turned into copper water."
Although he knew that there were very few fakes in this era, Bai Zirui was ecstatic to hear the authenticity of the Da Qi Tong Bao with missing corners personally acknowledged by the Shopoi Hou. He still asked: "Uncle Hou, is this Da Qi Tong Bao with missing corners really a real treasure?"
The one that Xi collected back then?"
Baolan Hou said with certainty: "Boy, this is the missing corner Daqi Tongbao that Dai Xi collected back then. Why can't you trust your uncle Hou's eyesight?"
Bai Zirui blurted out: "No... no! How could I not believe in Uncle Hou's eyesight? I'm just some people who can't believe that I was so lucky to get this missing corner Da Qitong Bao."
Baolanhou said: "Little boy, I think you already know the origin of Da Qi Tong Bao, so let me talk about its characteristics: the "Da Qi Tong Bao" cast by Li Min after he became emperor, the money inscriptions are slender and clear, neat and powerful.
It has a wide edge, a flat back, and a light yellow color. The diameter is about 22.5 mm, the thickness is about 0.8 mm, and the weight is about 3 grams.
The title of "Daqi" only lasts for one year. This coin is minted in small but fine quantities. There are only a handful of coins that have been handed down to this day. It is extremely rare and rare. You should collect it well."
Bai Zirui nodded and said solemnly: "Uncle Hou, don't worry! I will definitely collect this Da Qitong treasure."
"Here, let me toast you. Thank you for telling me so many historical allusions, which have benefited me a lot." Bai Zirui raised his glass and said.
The two of them had a glass of wine and ate a few peanuts. Bai Zirui thought of the three small bowls Hou Su'e gave him yesterday. He said carefully: "Uncle Hou, when I went to check on Brother Liu's condition yesterday,
Sister Hou, in order to thank me for helping them in times of crisis, the gift they gave me was three small bowls, you see..."
Baolan Hou screamed in surprise: "Xiao Zai, what did you say? I asked her for those three small bowls several times but she wouldn't give them to me. That rebellious girl actually gave those three small bowls to you. It's really
Treason!"
Bai Zirui asked tentatively: "Uncle Hou, do you want me to bring you those three small bowls?"
Bao Pohou waved his hand and said: "No! Although that rebellious girl is unfilial, she is still a member of the Hou family. There is no reason to take back the gift given by the Hou family!"
After he finished speaking, he poured a glass of wine dejectedly and drank it himself. Bai Zirui looked at his depressed look and didn't know how to persuade him. The two of them fell into a state of calm for a moment.
After a while, Shashahou said leisurely: "Xiao Zai, did that rebellious girl tell you the origin of those three small bowls?"
Bai Zirui nodded and said softly: Uncle Hou, Sister Hou just mentioned a few words in an ominous tone, saying that her grandfather used dishonorable means to snatch these three small bowls from others."
With a look of shame on his face, Popohou Hou nodded and said, "That naughty girl is right. There are four of those three small bowls, each with a nice name called "The tea is fragrant. Let's go and get together with friends."
, then go back to the building", in the hands of four tax collectors at Deshengmen, Chongwenmen, Dongzhimen, and Chaoyangmen...
My father relied on his power to steal the small bowls from three of them in a dishonorable way. Just when he was about to snatch the fourth small bowl, the Revolution of 1911 broke out and the Qing Dynasty was destroyed and the Republic of China was established. My family also fell into decline.
Therefore, the small bowl used by the Guan family in the Qianmen building to gather friends has been preserved, because his family was both a tax officer and an admiral of the Nine Gates, and the descendant of the Guan family was respectfully called the Admiral of the Nine Gates.
Since those three small bowls were given to you by the rebellious girl, you should keep them honestly, and it is up to you to do with them what you want to do with them."
Bai Zirui secretly decided to wait until he met Han Chunming and ask him to introduce Mr. Guan, the nine-door admiral, and send these three small bowls back to him to try to resolve the grudges between him and the Bad Hou.
The most important thing now is to adjust the relationship between Baolanhou and his daughter. After taking a sip of wine, he asked inquiringly: "Uncle Hou, you and Sister Hou are father and daughter, and it is right for a father to be kind and a daughter to be filial, but I think
The relationship between your father and daughter is so cold and antagonistic.
I heard Sister Hou say that she ignored your objection and married the son of your enemy, which caused the relationship between your father and daughter to reach this stage today. If there is no overnight feud between father and daughter, the conflict between you will be real.
Why can’t it be opened?”
Shapohou Hou said in a deep voice: "Family ugliness is not for outsiders. I didn't expect that rebellious girl to actually tell you all this. Well, let me tell you what exactly is going on?"
He drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp and said through gritted teeth: "Do you know whose son my son-in-law is? He is the son of my enemy Liu Sihai, and his grandfather is Eunuch Liu.
This Liu Sihai is nothing. I worked for the puppet government back then, that is, I ran errands to earn a living. After the new government was established, Liu Sihai actually thought that I was a traitor. I burned down his house in anger and was sentenced to three years in prison.
.
When my daughter grows up, she will marry Liu Weiguo, Liu Sihai’s son. He is a good young man, but his father is nothing. I tried every means to prevent him from agreeing, but my daughter will sue me to the subdistrict office and accuse me of blocking the freedom of marriage.
Sentenced to three years of reform through labor.
Xiao Zai, do you think there is such a daughter in the world? She actually sued her biological father for a man, what a rebellious and unfilial daughter."
After he told what happened, he glumly drank a glass of wine in one gulp and sat there feeling downcast.
Bai Zirui said persuadingly: "Uncle Hou, let's not talk about the grudge between you and Liu Sihai, but you are against the marriage between Sister Hou and Brother Liu. This is your fault.
Throughout the ages, there have been many crazy men and women who risked their lives for love. This is not the case at all times and at home and abroad. We have Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in our country, and foreign countries have Romeo and Juliet.
These cars are living examples. If you really push Sister Hou and Brother Liu to a dead end, I'm afraid it will be too late for you to regret it."
When Po Pohou heard this, he immediately shuddered and said sincerely: "Little boy, you are right! I really did something wrong. Putting aside Liu Sihai, who is not a thing, Liu Weiguo is indeed a good young man.
They are worthy of my daughter. Fortunately, they did not take that road of no return, otherwise I would really regret it!"
Bai Zirui said sincerely: "Uncle Hou, it is rare for you to realize your own mistakes. Life is only a few decades, and only family love is the most important. You should cherish it.
Brother Liu is suffering from an incurable disease, but Sister Hou has always taken good care of him. You should be very proud to have given birth to a good daughter who values love and justice.
Are you really planning not to get along well with your daughter and son-in-law, but to die alone for the rest of your life?"
When he said that, he was speechless. He sat there without saying a word and was lost in thought. After coming over for a while, he said with emotion: "I am dozens of years old and I still can't see clearly as you are young.
These past few decades have been a waste of time.
I will go see my daughter and son-in-law tomorrow and admit my mistake to them. They have suffered so much in the past few years because of my ignorant and confused father."
