After the meal, the relationship between Li Wei and Uncle Tang Xin became more and more intense. Tang Zhiyu, who was standing aside, saw that the relationship between his husband and brother was so good, and he was very happy in his heart.
Therefore, the wine table is the best channel to increase the relationship between people. The ancients do not deceive me!
After the meal, the three of them also left after saying goodbye. Of course, both Li Wei and Uncle Tang Xin were smiling with smiles on their faces, but in fact, they all had some unknown Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
After Uncle Tang Xin and Tang Zhiyu returned to the hotel where they were staying, they also started chatting softly.
"Uncle Xin, we have been looking for him in Shanghai for so long, but there is still no news about that person. Is our news wrong? He has not come to Shanghai." Tang Zhiyu asked Uncle Tang Xin softly.
"Probably not. The person who gave me the news was one of Fan Xien's subordinates. He had always been with him before and could be regarded as his confidant. After the Sino-Japanese War came, Peiping fell, and due to some other reasons,
Fan Xi'en just separated from him, and when they were parting, Fan Xi'en said that if he was desperate, he could come to Shanghai."
"So this person should have come to Shanghai now, and the whole of China is now in war and chaos. Only the concession in Shanghai can be considered to have some human spirit. According to Fan Xien's temper and character, he should also be able to
Come and settle in the Shanghai Concession."
"But maybe it's because the thing in his hand is too valuable, so he kept his name anonymous." Uncle Tang Xin thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and responded to Tang Zhiyu.
"He has that thing in his hand. Is this news true?"
Maybe it was because there had been no progress for such a long time, so Tang Zhiyu also had a trace of doubt in his heart, so he also questioned Uncle Tang Xin at this time.
When Uncle Tang Xin heard what his wife said, he felt a little helpless. Although he and Tang Zhiyu were very affectionate, there were some things that he actually didn't tell Tang Zhiyu in detail. So now that his wife has such questions, naturally
It's also normal.
But thinking about the information he had received, Uncle Tang Xin firmly believed that that thing must be in Fan Xien's hands.
"Since you asked, let me tell you this matter in detail! But you can't tell it to anyone else, not even your father-in-law and mother-in-law." Uncle Tang Xin looked at his wife like this and no longer hesitated, and then
Said softly.
"Humph, I knew you were hiding something from me, but don't forget that I have been hiding it from my parents for your sake. You even lied to my brother in front of me tonight.
I acquiesced to my words, but you still don’t believe me?" When Tang Zhiyu heard Uncle Tang Xin’s words, he snorted coldly, and then said a little unhappy.
"Madam, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry!" Uncle Tang Xin saw his wife looking slightly angry and hurriedly coaxed her.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he and Tang Zhiyu had a very good relationship, and Tang Zhiyu was helping him many times, even this time, when they came to Shanghai, and his wife took the initiative to cover for him, he wouldn't be like this.
Tell Tang Zhiyu the matter directly.
"Hmph, then you can explain this matter to me clearly first." Tang Zhiyu is not a messy woman, and she can firmly grasp Uncle Tang Xin's heart, and even let Uncle Tang Xin treat her wholeheartedly, and Tang Zhiyu also
Naturally, there are some means, so at this time, I also understand what I should do.
Therefore, after hearing Uncle Tang Xin's words, although she was still a little dissatisfied, she still gave Uncle Tang Xin a step forward.
After Uncle Tang Xin heard her words, his heart felt warm. He didn't know that Tang Zhiyu took the initiative to give him a step up.
Husband and wife! As long as they live together, there will definitely be a lot of conflicts. Therefore, the key to see whether a couple can stay together for a long time is actually to see how the couple resolves the conflicts when they have conflicts.
However, many people are unable to grasp the right balance in this regard, so many people's marriages actually do not last long, and they often end up getting divorced in the end.
"Madam, you also know that our Tang family is a family of officials. My grandfather even sat in the position of Minister of Household Affairs in the Qing Dynasty. Even my father also served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the former Qing Dynasty, so he is very important to the former Qing Dynasty.
The family is also very familiar with the Qing Dynasty and those old people." Uncle Tang Xin did not hesitate, and then started to talk softly to Tang Zhiyu.
And with Uncle Tang Xin's narration, Tang Zhiyu also gained a deeper understanding of the Fan Xi'en they were looking for this time.
Speaking of Fan Xi'en, he was actually a eunuch who worked in the palace for nearly thirty years during the Qing Dynasty.
However, those who can work as eunuchs in the palace and have been doing so for decades have basically become human spirits. Therefore, Fan Xi'en is also very smooth and sophisticated, and he often bullies habitually.
Hidden up and down.
Moreover, at the beginning of the Republic of China, the corruption of the Manchu and Qing court led to turmoil in the country. However, the Manchu and Qing court actually had lax laws and regulations and chaotic management.
Therefore, officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs often colluded with eunuchs to engage in corruption and steal palace cultural relics. Uncle Tang Xin's father was working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the time, so he was very familiar with these things and even participated in them.
.
Therefore, many new antique shops were opened in a short period of time in Peiping's Yandai Xiejie, and the owners of these antique shops were basically eunuchs serving in the palace, so they placed many antiques on the shelves.
It is naturally self-evident where those treasures and antiques come from.
Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty later learned the news from English teacher Johnston. Therefore, he felt that the situation was very serious, so he decided to conduct a thorough investigation and clean up the palace properties.
But before he took action, a fire suddenly broke out in the Forbidden City. The fire started in Derixinzhai inside Shenwumen, and then quickly engulfed the entire Jianfu Palace, which contained the most treasures.
According to reports later reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fire destroyed a total of 120 houses, more than 2,600 golden Buddhas, more than 1,000 paintings and calligraphy, and more than 400 antiques.
Even the gold nuggets and gold flakes picked out from the ashes after burning were as high as more than 17,000 taels, which shows how heavy the losses in this fire were.
