Chapter 159 Nine Admirals, What's the Meaning Behind the Name?

Han Chunming learned that Li Xiangdong originally wanted the admiral of the Nine Gates to give him a name.

For such a simple matter, he immediately agreed.

"Let's leave now before it's dark." Han Chunming took two steps and said suddenly, "But we can't go empty-handed."

"It's already ready."

Li Xiangdong lifted a plastic bag and opened it for Han Chunming to take a look.

Two bottles of Fenjiu, two catties of pork head meat, two catties of beef tendon meat, and a packet of peanuts.

"Brother Xiangdong, that's fine, even you know the old man's hobbies."

Han Chunming praised.He had to admire, this was more generous than himself.

On weekdays, he only takes two bottles of wine at most,

"Admiral of the Nine Gates is well-known in the literary and entertainment circles. Not many people don't know about his drinking habit."

Li Xiangdong smiled.

"That's true."

Han Chunming said in agreement.

Shortly after.

Li Xiangdong and Han Chunming went to the home of Admiral Jiumen.

"Little Wuzi, are you willing to visit your grandpa with nothing?"

The admiral of the Nine Gates asked with an unhappy expression on his face.

"I didn't take it, but it's okay if someone can't take it."

Han Chunming said with a smile.

He is the fifth eldest in the family, so the admiral of the Nine Gates has always called him the fifth son.

"Admiral of the Nine Gates, hello, my name is Li Xiangdong."

Li Xiangdong introduced himself very politely.

At this time, the Admiral of Nine Gates saw the wine and meat in Li Xiangdong's hands, and said something lightly.

"No merit and no reward."

"Master, he is my friend, and he was also named a national scholar this year."

Seeing that the old man was a little cold, Han Chunming quickly introduced him.

"It's none of my business."

The admiral of the nine gates closed his eyes and said.

"As expected of the admiral of the Nine Gates, he has a personality." Li Xiangdong smiled, "The old man is right, the national scholar has nothing to do with me looking for the old man today. Old man, this wine and meat are filial to you, and of course they are not for nothing. Treat you to a drink, I want you to name the restaurant.

Hearing Li Xiangdong's words, the admiral of the Nine Gates immediately showed a smile, "That's right, I said that you won't be rewarded for no merit, which means that you can talk about things directly. You have savvy and personality, I like it."

Followed by.

The admiral of the Nine Gates rolled his eyes at Han Chunming, "Your boy, learn from Li Xiangdong and improve your understanding."

"You're right, I'm too lazy to argue with you."

Because Han Chunming has been with Admiral Jiumen for many years, the two are as close as grandparents, so they don't have any scruples when talking.

At this time, the admiral of Jiumen didn't bother to talk to him, "Little Wuzi, let's continue chatting while drinking."

"Okay, today the two of us will have a drink with you."

Han Chunming immediately filled three glasses of wine.

"You're not bad, so how about I call you Xiangdong?"

The admiral of the nine gates almost narrowed his eyes when he laughed.

"Yes, you can call him whatever you like."

Li Xiangdong responded enthusiastically.

Antiques are actually the embodiment of a country's excellent culture.

Since he started collecting, Li Xiangdong has fallen in love with the long history and culture of his country.

This point is more vividly reflected in the common people of later generations.

Simply put, cultural self-confidence symbolizes the self-confidence of a nation.

And the Admiral of the Nine Gates in front of him can be said to be a living fossil in the antique world.

From his mouth, you can hear a lot of past celebrity deeds.

"I hear you mean you want to open a restaurant?"

The nine-door admiral asked curiously.

"That's right." Li Xiangdong turned his head to look at Han Chunming, "And I want to lure you into the gang."

"pull me?"

Han Chunming said in surprise.

He did think about what business he could do besides collecting antiques.

But it's not just for himself, because his other good brother Taozi has nothing to do.

So, he thought about doing some business and helping his brother by the way.

"That's right, if you don't want to, forget it."

Li Xiangdong said with a smile.

"Yes, of course I would." Han Chunming immediately poured Li Xiangdong a glass of wine, and said falteringly, "It's just that I'm a little nervous about money recently."

What he said was not a lie.

He just bought a yard recently, so he really doesn't have much money.

In addition, this has just been re-opened, so naturally there is not much money.

"It doesn't matter, I voted 7 and you voted 3, and you just need to take care of it on weekdays."

Li Xiangdong said.

"That's all right, but can I get a brother to help?"

Han Chunming said with a smile.

"No problem at all."

Li Xiangdong thought to himself, as long as he takes the lead, he can decide many things by himself.

This is called a controlling interest.

There is no way to hide the truth from the nine admirals.

Otherwise, Han Chunming would have asked Li Xiangdong for instructions just now.

Of course, Han Chunming didn't pay much attention to this matter.

Even if he cared, he has no money right now.

"This Fenjiu is really good!"

The admiral of the nine gates said with great enjoyment.

"Old man, the Fen liquor in Xinghua Village has a brewing history of more than 1400 years. It has enjoyed a high reputation in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and has always been known as the Three Wonders."

Li Xiangdong introduced.

"Boy, what you said is right, the color and fragrance are excellent, it seems that you understand it quite well."

With that said, Admiral Jiumen drank another cup.

"Old man, let's get down to business, what do you think we should name the restaurant?"

Li Xiangdong asked curiously.

"It's easy to say. How about this, let me ask you a question first, do you know why I am willing to let everyone call me Admiral of the Nine Gates?"

The admiral of the Nine Gates looked at Li Xiangdong with a slightly mysterious expression.

He felt that Li Xiangdong seemed to understand the past period of history quite well.So, I wanted to ask his opinion.

"Okay, sir. But I hope you will forgive me if I am wrong."

In the previous life, when Li Xiangdong was looking at Zhengyangmen, he admired the admiral of the Nine Gates very much, and he also had some unique insights of his own.

"But it doesn't matter."

Admiral Nine Gates drank another glass of wine and got excited.

At this moment, Li Xiangdong said slowly after drinking a glass of wine.

"The Admiral of the Nine Gates is an important institution that controls the defense of the capital. During the change of emperors in 270 in the Qing Dynasty, the Admiral of the Nine Gates was always the object that officials scrambled to make friends with and those in power tried their best to appease."

"The Admiral of the Nine Gates is responsible for the guarding and access control of the nine city gates in the capital. They are Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Anding Gate, Desheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, and Fucheng Gate."

"When the empire is in crisis, the imperial army led by the nine admirals is the last line of defense."

"This is enough to see the status and responsibility of the nine admirals."

"There are eight major clans in the Manchus, one of which is the Guerjia clan. After the mid-Qing Dynasty, the clan changed to the Han surname as Guan, the second largest surname in the Manchus, belonging to the Zhenghuang Banner, and was ruled by the emperor himself. It was glorious for a time."

"And your surname is also Guan, which shows that the status of your ancestors is extraordinary."

"So, I will continue to make a bold guess."

"Your title of Admiral of the Nine Schools is certainly not for defending the country."

"It's to protect the treasure left by the ancestors."

"Prevent them from crossing the ocean and falling into the hands of foreigners."

Speaking of this, Admiral Jiumen couldn't help but glance at the wall in the living room.

There is a dark room behind that wall.

There are treasures that he has collected all his life.

Indeed, what he was most worried about was that these treasures would be sold abroad by his son and daughter-in-law after his death.

Immediately afterwards, the nine admirals fixed their eyes on Li Xiangdong.

He couldn't believe that this young man could see through the depths of his heart.

The next second, he showed a satisfied smile, applauded and said.

"young people."

"You really impress me, an old man!!!"
