Return to 1983 and be a detective

At first, Xiang Jinsong was quite reserved and nervous.

But as he talked, he suddenly found his original intention.

Screw the three generations of Xiang family talkers.Why should I compete with these people for this false reputation?I have a good friend like Xu Shan and a good career in the antenna factory. Why worry about becoming bigger and stronger in the future? Why should I compete with these petty people for a small profit?

After he finished speaking, he walked back to his seat openly.

Seeing his attitude, Xiang's family members were so angry, especially Xiang Jinbai, who couldn't help but said angrily: "My good brother, he is always soft-spoken and he obviously can't give anything." It’s an old-fashioned thing, but it’s said in such a high-sounding way.”

Others also joined in.

These words reached Xiang Jinsong's ears, but Xiang Jinsong turned a deaf ear.

Old Man Xiang looked around at everyone, and then everyone stopped talking and looked at Old Man Xiang.

They all hope to watch Mr. Xiang open this birthday gift so that Xiang Jinsong will be completely embarrassed.

Mr. Xiang also hesitated slightly.

This thing is like wrapping newspapers in red envelopes when people get married. It looks wide and thick, which is quite bluffing.When I didn't know it, I just thought it was a generous gesture and a big red envelope.

But once opened, the secret will be revealed.

He looked at Xiang Jinsong.

Xiang Jinsong looked quite indifferent.

Mr. Xiang looked at Xu Shan again. Xu Shan was smiling and looked like he was determined to win.

Mr. Xiang is such a shrewd person. The vision of a veteran criminal investigator for many years made him understand at once. Xiang Jinsong should have received help from Xu Shan, so he was so confident.

He felt relieved and opened it directly.

Open the layers of red paper.Expose a brick inside.

As soon as the others saw the brick, they all cast angry looks at Xiang Jinsong, and Jinbai was the first to attack: "Xiang Jinsong, what do you mean? Are you going to fool the old man with a brick? It's his seventieth birthday. Where did you get such a brick on this big day? How unlucky is it?"

Other Xiang family members also joined in condemning Xiang Jinsong.

Xiang Jinsong was already strong-willed at this time, and he was quite calm in the face of everyone's criticism.

"Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, I think I did the right thing by sending a brick. First of all, today's topic is, whoever can send the oldest thing will win this game.

Among you, except for the celadon brush washer that Xiaobai sent out, it is from the Southern Song Dynasty, the others are all from after the Ming Dynasty, but mine is different. This brick of mine, how can it be different? It must be traced back to the Qin Dynasty, maybe even further back than the Qin Dynasty, so judging from the age alone, I have completely defeated you. "

Xiang Jinsong's words immediately left most of the Xiang family members speechless.

Indeed, the bricks Xiang Jinsong sent to him, in terms of age alone, had eluded them for thousands of years and were better than their birthday gifts.

Seeing that his child was going to lose, Xiang Jinbai's mother, Lu Mingyi, glanced at Xiang Jinsong with disgust: "But who gives a brick as a birthday gift? It might as well be a tomb brick, you say it's bad luck Aren’t you unlucky?”

Others found this breakthrough and pointed their fingers at this aspect: "That's right, Xiang Jinsong really has two thoughts about our family. Otherwise, why would he choose something like this as a birthday gift?"

Xiang Jinsong withstood the first wave of attacks, but he couldn't resist the second wave of attacks. After all, he was completely unprepared, so he had to kick Xu Shan's feet twice to ask him to help with the rescue.

Xu Shan was originally a melon-eater, and his favorite thing to watch was this kind of drama where the crooked-mouthed Dragon King pretended to be a cup of tea. But now that the crooked-mouthed Dragon King was ill-prepared and was about to be defeated, he had no choice but to step in and replace Xiang. Jinsong made the rescue.

"Dear elders, aunts, brothers and sisters of the Xiang family, I am a friend of Brother Xiang, and now I will answer for him the questions that he did not bother to answer because he did not want to be at odds with his family.

First of all, I have to correct you. What Brother Xiang gave to the old man was not a brick, but a brick and inkstone.Bricks and brick inkstones are completely different things. Brother Xiang felt that the old man liked calligraphy and the simple and elegant official script, so he bought such a rare ancient brick. After that, he made a brick inkstone after careful consideration.

The so-called filial piety is based on the heart but not the deeds, and there is no filial son in the world. It takes a lot of thought and energy to polish this brick and inkstone.This is definitely not something you can buy just by throwing some money around.It's full of filial piety and sincerity. Compared with the fans and the like packaged on site, it's so precious. "

As soon as he said this, Xiang Xuemei suffered a critical hit of [-] points, her face turned red, and she even gasped softly.

Xu Shan's words immediately aroused dissatisfaction from Lu Mingyi: "Who are you, an outsider, and why are you making irresponsible remarks at our family's birthday banquet? Who is so unruly that you treat an ungrateful person like you? The family members were brought in."

Xu Shan chuckled: "Auntie, I'm really sorry. I am indeed from a small household, but it was the old man who personally invited me to the birthday banquet..."

Lu Mingyi didn't believe it, and looked at Mr. Xiang questioningly, but when she saw Mr. Xiang's gloomy expression, she was startled, and she didn't dare to say anything else in the future, so she shut up.

Xu Shan cleared his throat and continued: "Secondly, let me explain the blue brick used in this brick and inkstone. It is a special green brick made by the mud mud method. In the past, many literati and poets liked to use this kind of green brick. To make bricks and inkstones. Many literati, including Su Dongpo, enjoyed making bricks and inkstones themselves. At that time, a brick was hard to find, and good bricks were more precious than gold."

He paused deliberately when he said this. In fact, he just wanted others to stand up so that they could accept his rebuke.

Sure enough, there were those who couldn't open their eyes. Although Lu Mingyi was dumbfounded, Xiang Jinbai did not stop because of this. He instructed the beautiful female companion beside him to whisper most of his thoughts to his family: "But I can't give this birthday gift either. Tomb bricks."

Xu Shan was well aware of Xiang Jinbai's actions and had already guessed that they would make things difficult here. However, he did not expect that Xiang Jinbai would be so shameless. He did not dare to stand up and question it, but he pushed an outsider to question it. .

He estimated that this kind of behavior would lose a lot of impression points to the old man, and it would also indirectly have the effect of attacking his opponent.

This was the question he was waiting for. He smiled slightly and looked at the old man: "Old man, I wonder if you have any research on seal characters?"

"It's okay, just a rough introduction. What, which words do you want me to help you recognize?"

"Since I have researched it, I might as well take a look at some miscellaneous seal characters on the side of this brick inkstone. I feel that the words on it should be the four characters Sister Wangcheng. I don't know if my feeling is right or wrong."
