Chapter 302 Leaders are good, they are popular there
When Mu Tian saw Ji Fenglin's eyes shining as he looked at the photo, he asked, "Do you know it, Uncle Ji?"
Ji Fenglin seemed to have a natural affinity for Mutian, so when someone proposed him as his son-in-law, he didn't take it seriously. On the one hand, he thought that his children and grandchildren would have their own blessings, and he didn't want to interfere too much with his daughter's emotional problems.
Mutian is also a lovable person, of course, not to mention handsome. His intelligence and wisdom, and his handling of problems often go against common sense, which makes Ji Fenglin often surprised and eye-opening at the same time.
Especially his simplicity and kindness from the bottom of his heart, which cannot be concealed by some superficial cleverness.
"This thing appeared in the southwest area 20 or 30 years ago. It was said to be hidden by a certain warlord. It was later stolen, and the matter caused an uproar. It seemed to have triggered a battle between the warlords. Then it disappeared. You have never seen it since.
Where did you find this? This is a bronze from the Western Zhou Dynasty, it can be called a national treasure," Ji Fenglin shook the photo in his hand and said in surprise.
Mutian instinctively believed in Ji Fenglin, not because he never cared about his being his son-in-law, nor because he allowed himself to interact with Ji Ruoxi, sometimes adding fuel to the fire, but because Ji Fenglin had a natural demeanor, wisdom and honesty.
He gave people a natural sense of closeness. At the same time, he was knowledgeable and talented, and his business was doing well, so he recognized him as his mentor in life. When Ji Fenglin asked, he told the whole story.
"This thief should be regarded as a righteous thief. He stole national treasures and cultural relics from the Japanese. No matter what he thinks subjectively or for what purpose, the objective result is always good." Ji Fenglin returned the photo to Mutian.
He said, "You are now investigating the case for Watanabe Doji. You have to be careful in everything. I have had some dealings with him at the public prosecutor's office. It is said that he has a very good background. The reason why he did not hand over this case to the Japanese Military Police and the Patrol Office is
Go and investigate, there must be some unknown reasons for him. One of them may be this Xuan Sheng Gui. If you catch this thief, don't make it too difficult for him." Ji Fenglin's words were serious. Mu Tian felt solemn after hearing this.
Got up.
Seeing Mu Tian behave like this, Ji Fenglin thought that his preaching put pressure on young people. To be honest, no one has the obligation to do something beyond their capabilities. It is immoral for you to use those feelings to demand these young people today.
. He said, if you want to know more details, go to the newspaper reference room and look up the novel that was serialized when the newspaper was first published. No, it was serialized when it moved to the concession and resumed publication. It was written by Xia Qiuyan, and it seemed to be called "
"The Unusual Robbery on the Road to the Sky", which describes the incident in more detail. It is a novel, of course it has an element of deduction, but it is based on the theft of this bronze vessel.
Mu Tian heard from Ji Ruoxi that "Oriental Morning News" was originally located in Nanshi, but a grenade was thrown by Japanese ronin, so it was moved to the concession and resumed publication.
He has heard about the writer Xia Qiuyan, and his books are read by almost all literate girls from noble ladies to young ladies from wealthy families, from women in the workplace to girls in universities and middle schools.
Mu Tian had met him once in the earliest Dahua Apartment. He was also an honored guest of Qiao Shikuan's family. Hao Mingzhen specially invited him to Shanghai as a guest. Hao Mingzhen was his biggest fan, and Kuo Taizhong liked Xia Qiuyan.
typical.
But now that Hao Mingzhen is dead, of course there is no way to know Xia Qiuyan's whereabouts.
"Xia Qiuyan?" Mu Tian blurted out and repeated.
"Yes, Xia Qiuyan, alas, it's a pity. The times make people, but they can also destroy them." Ji Fenglin sighed.
"Uncle Ji, are you familiar with him?" Mu Tian asked with interest.
"It's more than familiar." Ji Fenglin said with a smile.
"This junior would like to hear the details." Mu Tian said eagerly.
Ji Fenglin looked at Mu Tian's longing eyes, and then looked at Ji Ruoxi with a look of anticipation on his face. He looked down at his watch and sat on the armchair opposite the sofa, "If you still have time, I'll tell you about Xia Qiuyan.
, lest you have any misunderstandings about him, he didn’t just write about love, love, and love before.”
Ji Ruoxi clapped her hands excitedly. She loved the stories about the past told by her father the most.
"Xia Qiuyan is a scholarly writer. What I just mentioned, "The Great Thief on the Road to the Sky," is his best novel, and it is also his debut and famous work. No matter in terms of ideology, artistry, or worldview theory
, almost impeccable.
"At that time, "Morning News" resumed publication, but there was a lack of serial works, and we couldn't afford them at that time. Brother Xia told me that he had a story from ten years ago that could be turned into a novel. He told me the general story
Yes, I think it’s okay. After he picked a name, he started writing it and serialized it in the newspaper one chapter a day.
"Unexpectedly, it became popular. The circulation of the newspaper suddenly increased, and the unit price and amount of advertising also suddenly increased. His books contain the passion of calmness, the wisdom of casualness, and the murderous spirit of talking and laughing, which won the hearts of readers.
of love.
"There is not a single malicious word in his book, but it is full of criticism of reality and yearning for a new world. It is equally beautiful without a word, but it outlines all the beauties of the new world for you. The book expresses
The grand and magnificent world view produced is also breathtaking, and everything is based on an unusually calm foundation.
"Unfortunately, when he finished serializing, the reading atmosphere in the world changed. When I proposed to publish a separate volume of him, most of the shareholders of the newspaper did not agree. Because at that time, the era of 'serious reading' had passed.
, no one has read his books. If he writes that kind of book again and does serious literature, he will starve to death.
"So, he later turned to writing those mindless white novels. This is how people are ruined. Because of his 'bowing down for five buckets of rice', I gradually alienated him. Although his novels were still serialized in newspapers, my personal relationship
It faded away unconsciously.
"I still remember what he said to me before he left, if I don't have five buckets of rice to feed my body, how can I put my thoughts on it?
"I didn't pay attention to what he said at the time. I just felt that he was looking for reasons for his depravity, so I never read his words again. Of course, I don't know how many thoughts he has in his current books. I guess it's not
There aren't many left. Because this is an era that doesn't require thinking. If you still have it, it will be a disaster.
"However, what I admire more about him is his creative attitude. When he was writing "Mainland", I saw his original notebooks, three thick volumes, which must have been extremely in-depth research. And I also
I suspect that he is one of the three brother thieves written in the book."
When Ji Fenglin said this, he clapped his hands and stood up, "Okay, let's stop here. If you want to understand, just go read the serial."
"Thank you Uncle Ji for your guidance." Mu Tian stood up and bowed.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that he has a new book "Hazy Moon·Deep Night" to be published, and he is also going to do some book signing tours, but I don't know the specific arrangements. Otherwise, I can write him a letter and make an appointment.
Come to Shanghai first?”
Mu Tian looked at Ji Ruoxi and said to Ji Fenglian, "Don't bother me."
…
Jian Huairen had a nightmare. Someone put a gun to the back of his neck. He woke up in horror and found that he had fallen asleep lying on the table with leftovers on his face. There was a chopstick pressing against the back of his neck.
Qiu Qianqian is the one holding the chopsticks.
He took a deep breath, wiped his face, and looked up at Qiu Qian, his eyes squinting.
Qiu Qianqian paused his chopsticks on the table, "Mr. Jia has something to do today, so he asked me to take you around Shanghai to see the Western scenery. If you have time, come and see my humble abode. After he has finished his business, we will meet there."
Okay. You are my leader after all. Now that you are here, Mr. Jia is very kind to me. Today, I can go wherever I want, as you wish. I will also take advantage of it and come out for a stroll. Being a leader is good.
Everyone is very popular there, ha."
Jian Huairen indeed drank a lot last night, and fell asleep while drinking. However, he was already determined to become a colonel, so he pointed Qiu forward, and then pointed under the table.
Give orders!
Qiu Xiangqian understood, and smiled to himself. He called the young man at the door to come over and unshackled Jian Huairen.
Another young man came in carrying a set of clothes.
