0063 dragon and phoenix jade pendant
Fan Tongshan's unexpected actions and salutations made Chang Ning so shocked that he almost fell off the old-fashioned wooden chair.
After a long time, Chang Ning suppressed the shock in his heart, and after reluctantly recovering his usual expression, he said with a calm face: "Mr. Fan, what do you mean by this?" Get up and talk. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to hold Fan Tongshan's left forearm, and pushed up a little hard, Fan Tongshan's body stood up involuntarily, and said in his heart that he hoped that Mo Guoqiang outside did not hear and see this terrifying scene.
Fan Tongshan secretly admired in his heart, facing unexpected changes at a young age, he could still be so calm, worthy of being the successor of Old Man Fan, although his appearance is not handsome and elegant, but he is also extraordinary and full of restraint, especially this seemingly understatement stretching out his hand, but pregnant with a certain amount of martial arts cultivation.
After Fan Tongshan returned to his seat and sat down, Chang Ning said slowly: "Mr. Fan, since you have taken the risk to come, it can be seen that you have great courage, out of the overall situation of peace between the two sides of the strait, I am not embarrassed by you, but you should understand that with the identity of you and me, if you let people with a heart see it, what kind of ending will it mean." ”
"Thank you young master for reminding me, it's Tongshan who is abrupt," Fan Tongshan lowered his voice, took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his trouser pocket, and slowly handed it to Chang Ning's hand, "Young master, if I'm not mistaken, what you are hanging around your neck is a pair of phoenix-shaped jade pendants with my jade pendant, called dragon and phoenix pendant, my back is engraved with the words He and female, and on the back of your piece is the three words Naikouyue, which together are the eldest lady's maiden name: Xiujuan." ”
Chang Ning was shocked again, and took the dragon-shaped jade pendant with his light hand, and sure enough, the word He Nu was engraved on the back, "Mr. Fan, please continue." "Since going to college, the old lady has been letting herself hang a phoenix-shaped jade pendant, and occasionally I heard the old people say that the old lady was picked up by her grandfather outside, and it turns out that there are unspeakable reasons.
"The young master guessed right, I am from Beijing, my original name is Huang Guobin, more than ten years ago because of youth and ignorance, ran away from home, and was desperate on the streets of Hong Kong, when I met Mr. Fan Dongping in Taipei on a business trip in Hong Kong, he was pitied by his old man, and he was accepted as a righteous son to stay by his side, and I also obtained the legal right of residence in Hong Kong after changing my name to Fan Tongshan.
"Mr. Fan since 1949 retired to Taipei, has been alone, it turned out that he had a biological daughter in the mainland, because of the early death of his wife and the war flawless care, entrusted to a distant cousin and close friend Chang Deming to raise, when they broke up left a phoenix-shaped jade pendant as a memory, over the years, the old man all the time do not want to miss the eldest lady who left the mainland, so that more than 30 years have not remarried, every Mid-Autumn Festival when the full moon is empty, the old man is always alone, sitting on the balcony by the sea, holding a dragon-shaped jade pendant, facing the mainland tears, Since the reform and opening up of the mainland, the cross-strait border has eased, and the old man has also moved the idea of going back to the mainland to find the eldest lady, but he is helpless to be confined to his identity, and he has not made the trip for several years, until the company acquired a fishing company not long ago, and he dared to ask for help, pretending to be a big pay, and he was fortunate to see the young master, you ......"
Chang Ning asked: "Mr. Fan, the mainland's current reform and opening up and Taiwan policy can completely allow you to come and go freely, and Mr. Fan can also come and go in person, why do you still have to make such a decision to come over with an unpleasant face?" ”
Fan Tongshan bowed and said: "Young master doesn't know, Mr. Fan has two identities now, one is the honorary chairman and actual owner of Hong Kong Fan's Group Company, he came to the mainland in this capacity, and he will definitely be treated as a guest and be welcomed ceremoniously, but. ”
Fan Tongshan paused, and said slowly: "When Mr. Fan went to Taiwan in 1949, he was a major general of the army, and two years ago he was an active army general, a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, and an adviser to the national government, and moreover, he is still an adviser to the Central Intelligence Commission in Taipei for the mainland. ”
Afraid of something, Chang Ning was startled, the whole person froze, and cold sweat broke out on his back, as if the people from the national security department were staring at him heavily.
After a while, Chang Ning said, "Mr. Fan, you can go." ”
Fan Tongshan smiled and said: "Young master don't worry, Tongshan is just a folk person, presumably even if he appears, there will be no big trouble, Tongshan has a reluctant request, I implore the young master to fulfill it." ”
Chang Ning looked at Fan Tongshan silently, and Fan Tongshan said, "Please leave this dragon-shaped jade pendant young master, and hand over the phoenix-shaped jade pendant on your body to me to take back." ”
Knowing what that meant, Chang Ning glanced out of the door and hesitated in his heart.
"Young master, please rest assured, I didn't reveal anything to Mr. Mo."
Chang Ning was silent, gritted his teeth secretly, took off the phoenix-shaped jade pendant around his neck and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Fan Tongshan's eyes were happy, he took the phoenix-shaped jade pendant and carefully put it in his trouser pocket, got up and walked to Chang Ning, bowed down and said, "Young master, Tongshan must be worthy of the trust and say goodbye." With that, he turned around and walked out.
When Chang Ning returned to the township, it was already the time to hold the lamp, Du Qiulan kept him food, but when he saw that he was depressed and depressed, he had never seen it, so he stroked his back and asked with concern: "What's wrong?" ”
took out the dragon-shaped jade pendant and handed it to Du Qiulan, Chang Ning said: "Sister Lan, you keep it for me first, and I will tell you slowly later." ”
Du Qiulan took the jade pendant, and when she saw that the shape of the jade pendant had changed, she was surprised, but she didn't dare to speak.
After swallowing a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, but feeling that his mood slowly returned to normal, Chang Ning returned to his office and smiled at Wang Shi, who followed up: "Old immortal, I asked you about something, and you have to confess honestly." ”
"Stinky boy, are you a little bit wrong today," Wang Shi scolded with a smile, "Are you interrogating me, or are you begging me, you kid will carry it refreshed first." ”
"Hehe," Chang Ning scratched his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Damn, this leader has been busy with revolutionary work recently, and he has a lot of opportunities, and he is a little careless, hehe, it's just an inquiry, a general inquiry." ”
"Okay, look at your kid's attitude of positive self-criticism, this book is about pouring beans on a bamboo tube, how many are poured into the bamboo tube."
Chang Ning asked: "Old immortal, do you know a person named Fan Dongping?" ”
Wang Shileng blurted out: "Are you asking about Fan Jiaao's Fan butcher?" ”
Chang Ning was taken aback, "You tell me about this person in detail." ”
"Behind your Changjia Village, there is a deep ditch, opposite the small valley next to Qingyang Mountain, less than a mile into it, it is my hometown Wang's house, there are seventeen families, and then go three and a half miles into the valley, it is Fan Jiaao, there are more than 40 families, you said Fan Dongping, is the son of Fan Guilin, the only landlord in Fan Wang Village, Fan Guilin has more than 100 houses, more than 3,000 acres of land, including your Changjia Village, most of the surrounding people are his tenants, I have also worked in his family for a few years, it is said that Fan Guilin has made a windfall on his ancestors, Therefore, a lot of real estate was purchased in Chengguan, Qingzhou City and the provincial capital, and after liberation, it naturally belonged to the people's government, so Fan Guilin's luck was not bad, he died of a stroke in 1948, otherwise he would have been arrested and shot and collapsed. ”
"Old Immortal, why did you just say that Fan Dongping is Fan Butcher?"
Wang Shi gritted his teeth and said: "Before he fled to Taiwan, he set fire to the two villages of Fan and Wang, killing more than a dozen people and leaving more than 200 homeless, do you think he is a butcher?" ”
Chang Ning was speechless, just waved his hand mechanically.
Wang Shi whispered before leaving: "Stinky boy, I also know that your grandfather and that Fan butcher are relatives, hehe, if I say it, Chang Daxian will have no heirs." ”
