Chapter 0431 – National Treasure
After seeing the old master listening to Ouyang Lei’s sentence. On the trembling stood up, and in Ouyang Lei’s support, welcome to the door of the small auditorium, the guests present have looked at each other, they are somewhat unable to figure out, in order to Ouyang old master’s status position, in the end, there is still who is worthy of him to personally go to meet.
The mystery was soon revealed, because from the auditorium door, an old man sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed in, Zhuang Rui’s sharp eyes, a glance to see, the person sitting is actually Master Song, and push the wheelchair, naturally, is the Song Jun, behind the wheelchair, but also followed four or five inside the wearing military uniforms, outside the set of white coats of doctors.
“Elder brother Ouyang, ninetieth birthday, and old sister-in-law seventy years in the same boat through thick and thin, congratulations!”
Sitting in his wheelchair, Elder Song didn’t wait for Ouyang Gang to approach, he arched his hands and paid his respects to today’s birthday boy.
“Elder Song, you …… are, well?”
Ouyang Gang walked closer and looked at his old comrade with a face of disbelief.
“We are in this age, what is good, old brother, you do not see, this is also followed by a group of people!”
Song Lao was a bit helpless as he spoke, since he had taken a shot and slept yesterday, he felt in good spirits, while chatting with Song Jun, he overheard that today was Ouyang Gang’s ninetieth birthday, so he got the idea of coming to pay tribute to his birthday, mainly because he had been in bed for a long time and wanted to come out and move around a bit.
Just his activity does not matter, the entire hospital was alarmed, this is not a small matter, not only to be reported to the Central Advisory Committee, there is also the Central Security Bureau, we must know, Song old man in the political arena back then, that the level is also up to the level of the state level, not worse than Ouyang Gang’s influence in the army.
“Good! Good! All these years, just today is the most comfortable.”
Ouyang Gang laughed out loud from the bottom of his heart, seeing this old buddy, who had been friends for more than half a century, was actually able to walk out of his hospital bed. See this face recovery is not bad, Ouyang Gang is happy in his heart, what birthday, what seventieth wedding anniversary, are not as happy as he saw his old comrade in arms physical recovery.
Not to mention the two old men hand in hand there to talk freely, sitting in the birthday banquet hall of those parties vassals, at this time has been to see straight eyes, almost do not believe their own eyes.
These local officials, although most of the Ouyang family that faction, but Ouyang Gang and Song old man relationship is very good, the two families in many areas can complement each other, so these people take the opportunity of this into the capital to pay tribute to the birthday, in the first few days most of these people also went to visit the old man lying in the hospital bed Song.
Just that will be the old Song, has been in a coma, a day but awake a small half hour, anyone can see, Song old man from the death soon, who would have thought that this is but a day’s work, the old man actually can be discharged to participate in the Ouyang Gang’s ninety birthday.
Although now technology is changing rapidly, medical science and technology, but it seems to be not up to let the critically ill people recover so fast, right? Some people who know that hospital director, is already touching out the cell phone, lowered his head and whispered the phone call, Song old man recovery, this is not a small matter, some of the pattern of the country, and will even change as a result.
Just these people’s inquiry, doomed to be fruitless, the vice president of the major rank, in the report on the old man Song’s condition recovery, was very much reprimanded a pass, roughly the meaning is that we as materialist communists, can not believe those ghosts and gods, or to understand from the scientific, to find the cause.
Comrade Dean will be worried about it, if he can use science to explain clearly, it would not have to submit up that old man Song dream report.
At this time Song Jun has pushed the old man Song, walked to the birthday banquet hall Ouyang Gang just sat place, some people move to a chair, put Ouyang Gang’s side, the old man Song in the grandson’s support, sat to the chair above, look at the situation, and then after a period of time, the old man Song may be able to get down to the ground to walk.
For a while, the birthday banquet hall was bustling, the original guests, also lined up to go forward to congratulate Song old man’s health recovery. But it made the opening time of the birthday banquet to be postponed a bit, but no one cared about this, except for those children who didn’t know any better, no one came here to eat and drink.
“Huh? Elder brother Ouyang, there are still such fresh fruits in this weather?”
Song Lao after dealing with a circle of people, inadvertently saw Zhuang Rui sent up birthday gift, can not help but eyes bright, long time sick in bed, the most like to see, is those full of vitality of the color, this is also go to the hospital to see the patient, much like one of the reasons for the delivery of flowers, in front of the eyes of this plate of flowers and fresh fruits, so that the old man of Song actually a little bit of appetite to open up the feeling.
“My little grandson sent, what’s the matter, can you still bite with those teeth? Let me take a grape for you!”
Just now too many people worship birthday, coupled with immediately after the Song old man came, Ouyang Gang for this birthday gift, did not look carefully, until twisted body, to take the bunch of grapes, only to feel out of place, mouth “eek” a sound. The right hand again to the center of the birthday peach grabbed.
Song Lao saw that Ouyang Gang’s face was a bit off, and spoke out to ask: “Ouyang old brother, what’s wrong?”
“This …… this thing …… is fake ah!”
Ouyang Gang was surprised in his heart, and spoke a little louder, drawing the crowd to look at the fake things he said, and in their hearts, they all somewhat did not understand, this food stuff, at most, can only say that the variety is not good, where there is what is real or fake ah! There was no logo affixed on it.
“Fake?”
Elder Song is also sitting next to the coffee table, immediately reached out and touched the jade carving ornaments, eyes suddenly appeared stunned look. At his age, he could almost be said to be able to talk about mountains crumbling in front of his eyes without changing his color, but this trinket was something that made Elder Song’s face look shocked.
“This is a jade carving ornament! Old brother Ouyang, this grandson of yours, didn’t put in much effort, this thing has longevity peaches on it, and these colors represent fortune, luck and happiness, eh? It’s still Xiao Gu’s handiwork, not bad, not bad, rare, very rare!”
Elder Song held that pendant on his lap, very carefully surveyed for a while, even the bottom of the paragraph are turned over to see, his face can not help but show a look of envy, how did he ever come across this object, we must know, Song Lao not only hobby of antiques and calligraphy and painting, for the goldstone and jade, that is also a deep attainment.
“This thing is good?”
Ouyang Gang on the words of the old man, some do not think, he knows his old comrade has always been obsessed with antiques and such things, before the liberation of the time, he took the landlord’s family of that what the Tang and Song ancient paintings to wipe their asses, which in the past few decades has not been less squeezed by him.
“And you do not make sense, so to you say it! This thing than when Cixi’s emerald cabbage is no less, just by virtue of this born and bred jade, and this ingenious conception and craftsmanship, called ‘national treasure’ that is not too ……”
Song Lao was a bit excited and spoke a bit faster, his face flushed red, scaring Song Jun who stood by the side and quickly said, “Grandpa, don’t get excited! Turn back I also give you to get one to go ……”
Speaking when Song Jun also glared at Zhuang Rui standing not far away, you kid good object more that is not your fault, but take out to show off is not right ah! If the old man really wants it, where will he go to find it for him?
“What do you know, go to the side, I dare say this thing, the world can not have a second, priceless, priceless treasure ah!” Elder Song reprimanded his grandson, his eyes never left the jade carving.
After hearing Song Lao’s words, the people sitting in the birthday banquet hall, some of them who felt closer to the two old masters, all walked over to take a look at the pendant, the object that could be called a national treasure by Song Lao, then even if it wasn’t a national treasure, it would become a national treasure from now on.
Of course, these people just feel rare, for this thing itself, is not much interest, and then good-looking it is just a piece of jade, can not eat or drink what use ah! Just originally feel Zhuang Rui stingy people, now is a change in the impression, dare others is not stingy, is generous no bounds.
“Older brother, if you like it, take it and play with it.” Ouyang Gang saw that Zhuang Rui sent such a precious object, his face was also very dignified, but he had little interest in this thing, and at that moment he was generously prepared to send it out.
“Forget it, this object is worth several hundred million dollars! Your grandson can send it, my own grandson can also send it, when I pass ninety next year, you also come to see ……”
Song Lao said this is to let those who have seen this thing earlier ate a shock, although they are also considered to be outside the position of prominent, the main political party, casually a policy to implement, that involves the interests of all parties are tens of millions of dollars, but such a small thing, actually can be worth several hundred million, that is to be much higher than the annual financial income of a poor county.
So some people began to think, is it necessary to carry out some archaeological excavations in the jurisdiction? Previously never paid attention to these things, but also can create economic value, these people’s ideas if those archaeological departments know, surely will go to the door to send a letter of thanks to Zhuang Rui, their own this clear water Yamen finally have leaders concerned about ah!
But this will be Song Jun heart can be tangled, next year he went to where to get this thing ah? And then look at Zhuang Rui’s time, that eye is almost out of the fire.
After this little episode, the birthday banquet continued, the old man and the old lady symbolically drank the toast of the crowd, then retired back to the courtyard, Ouyang Gang would like to not symbolize a little more to drink, but can not help but the side of the health care practitioner does not allow ah!
Song old man naturally also followed the past, two old comrades today is to have a good nagging.
“Zhuang Rui, you kid do not run ……”
After the banquet dispersed, Zhuang Rui thought about Peng Fei’s matter in his heart, and his great uncle and others said hello, and was about to drive away from Yuquan Mountain, but was blocked by Song Jun.
