Chapter 1398 Recognition of relatives
Xiahou Mulan helped her introduce Xu Chunliang, and Lin Hong respectfully called Xu Chunliang Mr. Xu.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "You should call me Director Xu. Although I own the shares of Renhetang, I am not involved in the specific management. The real helmsman of Renhetang now is Miss Mulan, and she will be her in the future."
Although Xiahou Mulan thought Xu Chunliang's emphasis was unnecessary, she felt sweet in her heart and was willing to do anything for Xu Chunliang's words.
Lin Hong did not mean to disturb, but had something to report. A guest named Zhou came outside. According to him, he was related to the Zhou family of Renhetang, and he said that he had something very important to see the head of Renhetang.
Xiahou Mulan didn't know much about the past and present life of Renhetang. She only knew that Xu Chunliang inherited Renhetang from his great grandfather Zhou Renhe. Since brothers Zhou Yiwen and Zhou Yiwu sold the shares to Cao Bingyi, Cao Bingyi transferred the shares to Xiahou Mulan, now there is no problem with the ownership of Renhetang.
Xu Chunliang asked Lin Hong to invite the guest named Zhou over. He wanted to see where this person came from?
Not long after, Lin Hong walked in with a young man wearing a black down jacket.
The person who came was younger than Xu Chunliang expected. It looked like he was less than thirty years old. His name was Zhou Yangming, a native of Lao Qin, and he was currently engaged in self-media work.
In Xu Chunliang's impression, the self-media people are the kind of people who rely on network traffic to make a living. Most of them sell goods through live broadcasts. Xu Chunliang usually has limited knowledge of this industry, so he has no impression of Zhou Yangming. I guess this person is not either. What a big internet celebrity.
Zhou Yangming was of average height and average appearance, and even looked a little rustic. After he came in, he smiled and introduced himself.
Out of politeness, Xu Chunliang shook hands with him. An expert would know when he extended his hand. Xu Chunliang immediately noticed that the other party was hiding his body's strength. Zhou Yangming should be a martial arts practitioner. Although he is not tall, he has big hands. And generous, the breathing is very light, but long and steady.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I wonder what Mr. Zhou wants from me?"
Zhou Yangming said: "That's right, I'm a relative of the Zhou family. I came here today to talk about some family matters."
Xu Chunliang said: "Please sit down!"
Zhou Yangming looked at Xiahou Mulan and Lin Hong: "I know it's a bit presumptuous. I want to talk to Mr. Xu alone."
Xu Chunliang said: "We are all our own people, there is no need for this."
Xiahou Mulan said: "You guys talk, Lin Hong and I also have something to discuss."
After Xiahou Mulan and the others left, Xu Chunliang motioned to Zhou Yangming to have tea. Zhou Yangming said thank you, took a sip of tea and said, "My surname is Zhou, and I am related to Mr. Zhou Renhe."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Really? The old man left suddenly and didn't mention it to me."
Zhou Yangming said: "This is normal. Very few people know about this relationship. I only learned about it recently."
Xu Chunliang said: "Is it convenient to disclose the specific relationship?"
Zhou Yangming said: "My grandfather passed away half a year ago. Before he died, he took my hand and told me that he once had an aunt who loved him very much when he was a child. Later, his aunt married someone. It is said that he was a wandering doctor. Because of the war, this No news has been heard, and I don’t know if she is still alive.”
He took out a photo and handed it to Xu Chunliang. The photo had been restored. Xu Chunliang recognized it at a glance. The woman wearing a large flowered coat in the photo should be his great-great-grandmother, Zhou Renhe's mother, Xu Zhou.
Zhou Yangming said: "My grandfather has always kept this matter in mind, because my great-aunt saved his life. He said that in our Zhou family, there is only this great-aunt who has no news and is probably dead long ago. Let me try to find my great-aunt if possible."
Xu Chunliang said deliberately: "Then how did you find this place? Is it because the surname of Renhetang was Zhou?"
Zhou Yangming said: "It's not that easy to find someone who has been missing for decades. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. I didn't expect to find it at first, but among the relics my grandfather left me, I found some medical scriptures, which contain records All are traditional recipes.”
Xu Chunliang's conscience was moved. At this time, Xue Anning called. Xu Chunliang guessed that she was asking him to accuse him, so he hung up without answering.
Zhou Yangming said: "I don't understand medicine. It's destiny. Not long ago, I had a dream. I dreamed that my great-aunt saved people by relying on these secret recipes. I got inspiration from it and found a doctor. A trustworthy friend showed him some secret recipes. Unexpectedly, this friend told me after reading them that these should be the recipes of Renhetang. "
Zhou Yangming took out a prescription from his bag, and Xu Chunliang took it and saw that it was the formula of Renhetang's bone healing ointment. This formula is a secret of Renhetang and cannot be obtained by outsiders.
Xu Chunliang secretly thought, it seems that they really have relatives. I wonder what the purpose of Zhou Yangming's coming to find relatives is?
Xu Chunliang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. This Zhou Yangming had a careful mind and strong reasoning ability, and he presented the past and present of this matter in front of him like a cocoon.
Zhou Yangming saw that Xu Chunliang didn't even respond after he had been talking for a long time, so he stopped, took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Xu, can you help me explain the confusion in my heart?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Does the truth of the past matter? What's more, these old people have died, so what's the point of finding out their life experiences?" Zhou Yangming said: "Mr. Xu, don't misunderstand me. I didn't come here to covet your family property. I just wanted to fulfill my grandfather's last wish. If you are willing to help, there is half a million in this card. Although it is not much, it represents my feelings. "
Zhou Yangming did this, which made Xu Chunliang a little embarrassed. He did doubt Zhou Yangming's motives, but he had no intention of taking Renhe Hall as his own, he just wanted to protect it.
Xu Chunliang said: "Can you answer me a question first?"
Zhou Yangming nodded: "Please tell me."
“Where do these medical classics in your family come from?”
Zhou Yangming hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "My ancestors were engaged in the business of moving mountains. This set of medical classics was discovered by our ancestors in an ancient tomb. However, our Zhou family did not regard it as a treasure later, so No one is practicing medicine, and to tell you the truth, because of the historical issues of the Zhou family, our family has also encountered many disasters, and now it has long been far away from the past business. "
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "So you are engaged in the self-media industry."
Zhou Yangming smiled sheepishly: "I am mainly engaged in visiting tombs and visiting ancient times. When you discovered the Tomb of the Warring States Period in Dongzhou, I also went there. I saw you from a distance at that time."
Xu Chunliang said: "You started investigating me then?"
Zhou Yangming said: "The main reason is to seek the truth."
Xu Chunliang said: "Come with me."
He took Zhou Yangming to his old house. There were photos of Zhou Ren and his mother and son in the old house, as well as some items from that time.
I have to say that Zhou Yangming's sincerity moved Xu Chunliang, otherwise Xu Chunliang would not have taken him there so happily to seek the truth. Of course, it also stemmed from Xu Chunliang's confidence. If Zhou Yangming wanted to cause trouble, Xu Chunliang would be able to resolve it. .
Arriving at the old house, Xu Chunliang opened the room where old things were stored. Zhou Yangming saw the photos of Zhou Ren and his mother and son on the wall at a glance. He compared the photos he brought with him and immediately concluded that the woman in the photo was the same. It was his great-aunt. When he saw the jewelry left behind, Zhou Yangming was convinced.
With a plop, he knelt down in front of the photo: "Great aunt, the baby is here. My family has not forgotten you, and my grandfather has not forgotten you."
Xu Chunliang stood aside, waiting for Zhou Yangming to finish kowtowing, then stood up and smiled sheepishly at Xu Chunliang: "I'm a little excited. I finally fulfilled grandpa's wish. I've been looking for him very hard in the past six months."
Xu Chunliang asked: "What should we call each other?"
Zhou Yangming said: "I checked, we are of the same generation. I am twenty-nine years old and older than you. You should call me cousin."
Xu Chunliang called his cousin.
Zhou Yangming took out the card again and handed it to Xu Chunliang and said: "This is our first meeting, let's treat it as a meeting gift."
Xu Chunliang pushed him back: "You can't do this, cousin, you can keep it for yourself."
At this time Xiahou Mulan called, mainly because she saw that he and Zhou Yangming were out, and she was worried that there would be trouble. Xu Chunliang told her that he had just recognized a relative, and asked Xiahou Mulan to help book a table at Zhuque Tower in the old city. In the evening, he invited his cousin to dinner, and also invited Huang Wanglin and Pu Jian.
Hanging up the phone, he asked Zhou Yangming: "Cousin, are you staying?"
Zhou Yangming nodded: "I'm staying at the Shengquan Junlin Hotel, so I'll make the arrangements for the night."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "You came all the way, so you must leave this opportunity to me."
At this time, the door was pushed open forcefully, and a voice came in before anyone arrived: "Xu Chunliang, what do you mean? You are stumbling upon us before the work has even started, are you?"
But it was Xue Anning who came to ask Xu Chunliang to question him. The joint archaeological team that Xue Anning belonged to received a request from Jeju to assist in the appraisal. According to their original intention, they definitely wanted to refuse, but considering how they dare not bow their heads under the roof of a human being. Logically speaking, if you choose to refuse this time, it may not be so easy for future archaeological work to be carried out smoothly.
Xue Anning believed that Xu Chunliang was behind the scenes and went to argue with him in anger. Unexpectedly, Xu Chunliang hung up on her. She called Xu Chunliang's office and found out that he was not there, so she went straight to Xu Chunliang's residence and found him. Xu Chunliang, but she didn't expect anyone else to be present.
