The old lady smiled and shook her head: "When I got married, this house was our family's property, but now this side has been registered as a cultural relic, and there is a small second floor in the back, and there is my wife's house over there." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As she spoke, the old lady pointed to one of the entrances to the house.

A few people looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and sure enough, there was a small door on the side of the main entrance of this gatehouse.

Li Quan and Huo Sining glanced at each other, and there were doubts in their eyes. Li Quan couldn't hide his words, and couldn't help but ask, "Old lady, who are you this Yan Tielin?"

The old lady had a good impression of Li Quan, and when she heard Li Quan's presumptuous question, she didn't feel displeased, nor did she hide it, so she explained directly: "Yan Tielin is my father-in-law, and he served with Yuan Shikai in the imperial capital Beiyang warlord in the early years. ”

Although Qiao Zhenhuan has studied abroad for many years, he still learns Chinese history quite well: "Warlord family......? Why is this house still in place at this time? It wasn't confiscated from above?"

The old lady probably guessed what a few people were thinking, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law was born as a warlord, but his three sons are all from the red generation, the eldest son and the second son participated in the ******, and followed the first chief to the front line to fight. It's a pity that the eldest brother and the second brother died on the battlefield, and in the end, only my wife was left. ”

Then it's no wonder, several sons died on the battlefield, even if it was a warlord, it must be lenient and gentle, no wonder this house is still here.

Huo Sining nodded secretly, but his eyes unconsciously looked around in the Overseer's Mansion, secretly looking.

This house is the rear courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, the front yard has been taken over by the cultural relics department, and the back yard has become the residence of the old lady of the Yan family.

In the past, the old house of the Overseer's Mansion was listed in the cultural relics book, and it can no longer be renovated privately, this backyard is a little dilapidated, and the old lady did not find anyone to repair it, because even if it is to be repaired, it needs to be applied, and various materials must be filled in and reported, and the construction can only start after the above instructions are given.

When Mr. Yan was alive, he didn't think about changing the house, but every time he had this idea, he felt that it was too troublesome to make various declarations, so he didn't start construction for a long time.

Now that the old gentleman has passed away, Mrs. Yan naturally has no mind in this regard, and when she saw a few people looking around in the yard, she did not urge, but enthusiastically introduced the origin of some of the ornaments in the yard.

"When my father-in-law was young, his family was not good and he didn't have much education, but he was more powerful than anyone else, so many people among the warlords were afraid of him. However, he treats his son very well, he does not have much ink in his belly, but he attaches great importance to educating his sons, and he must let them learn literature and ink, and even spend a lot of money to send my wife to study abroad. ”

"My wife and I met when we were studying abroad, we were in free love, we got married after returning home, and within a few years we went to war, and then he went to the front. ”

"This bonsai is made of bullet casings, which my wife picked up on the battlefield. ”

Touching a bonsai in the yard, the old lady chattered, and her eyes softened a little.

After talking for a while, the old lady came back to her senses, realized what she had brought these people for, her face was red, a little embarrassed, and she led a few people into the house.

opened the door and entered the house, as soon as I entered the living room, I felt that the room was antique, but this glance swept over, and many places where objects were placed in the living room were empty.

"My wife is a well-versed reader of the 24th History, especially antiques, and he likes to study these things, and later worked in the Cultural Affairs Bureau and collected a lot of things. ”

"In the tenth year of the Cultural Revolution, he heard the wind in advance and buried most of the things in advance, and those things were not confiscated, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune. ”

I worked in the Cultural Relics Bureau, no wonder I had so many good things hidden at home. Huo Sining secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, an Overseer's Mansion must be indispensable for cultural relics and antiques, but it was a pity that the old lady's children and grandchildren were too bastard, and they took away everything, and she didn't even have a chance to take a look.

It's just that it's useless to think about these things at this time, Huo Sining just wants to see what the rest of the old lady is talking about, and prays in his heart that they don't be fakes or damaged objects, otherwise they will run away in vain this trip.

"Sit down first, and I'll fetch something for you." ”

The old lady motioned for a few people to sit down on the sofa, and she turned around and walked out of the house, turning a long corridor, and walked to the east wing bedroom.

The large box is about a foot square, and the small box is a rectangular brocade box, which looks about the size of a book, and both boxes are wooden boxes, depending on the material and the color of the lacquer, these boxes should be many years old.

The box was taken to the living room and placed on the coffee table, Huo Sining glanced at it casually, the big box was made of ironwood, probably because of the frequent polishing, this wooden box was oily and shiny, with the dark brown texture of ironwood, it looked very beautiful.

This is also an old object that opens the door, I haven't started it, I don't know how many years it can be, but it is preliminarily estimated that these two boxes are at least a hundred years old.

Xu noticed Huo Sining's gaze, and the old lady explained with a smile: "This wooden box is my dowry, when my wife went to my house to ask for marriage, my father didn't like him at first, but after entering the study, he saw this object on the shelf of Bogu in the study at a glance, and accurately said the origin of this thing. My father's impression of him changed suddenly, and the more he tried it, the more he appreciated it. Later, I learned that he actually had a penchant for collecting antiques, so my father simply added it to my dowry. ”

As she spoke, the old lady pulled out the rim lid of the box, and a thin layer of wooden lid was pulled out of the shaft, revealing something wrapped in yellow satin inside.

The silk was lifted, and the objects in the box revealed the true face of Lushan. (To be continued.) )
