Chapter 643 Adding Another Treasure
After Xu Yizhou and Xu Manzhou helped the Sheng family's girl, Ling Yatou, to prepare lunch, the two middle-aged men, a man and a woman whom Shen Yunfeng and the other five met at the tofu workshop in the morning also came from their small courtyard to eat together.

Shen Yunfeng, Xu Wanzhou, and Xu Qingzhou learned from Xu Yizhou that the daughter Ling of the Sheng family is actually called Sheng Ling, and she is the second granddaughter of the old man of the Sheng family. She also has an older brother and an older sister.

After my Sheng Ling's older brothers and sisters worked in other cities and formed a small family, Sheng Lingfeng's parents, that is, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the old man of the Sheng family, began to live apart in the two places, helping their children to take care of their grandchildren. Sun.

As for Sheng Ling himself, after graduating from university, he originally had a stable job, but in order to take care of his grandfather, he resigned and went home.

"Sheng Ling's second uncle's two boys, one is a graduate student, and the other doesn't like studying, so they followed the villagers to the south to work."

"So, I reckon that the Shengji Tofu brand will fall on Sheng Ling's shoulders if it is not handled well in the end."

Xu Yizhou sat next to Shen Yunfeng, and the table full of meat and vegetables couldn't stop his mouth.

Although Xu Yizhou spoke in a low voice, Shen Yunfeng felt that the old man of the Sheng family seemed to have guessed some of Xu Yizhou's little thoughts from the way the old man of the Sheng family who was sitting on the main seat looked at him and Xu Yizhou from time to time.

"Mr. Shen said that the stone slab on which our family presses tofu is actually a tombstone," said the old man of the Sheng family while handing the soup bowl to the second son who was sitting far away from the soup bowl. "Now he wants to buy it, and then Donate to Provincial Museum."

"I want to hear the opinions of you two first."

The second son of the Sheng family filled the soup, got up and handed it to his father, then glanced at his wife sitting next to Sheng Ling, and said, "Dad, we two have no objections, we can do whatever you want."

The old man of the Sheng family seemed very satisfied with what his son said. He looked at his second son and his second daughter-in-law with a smile, and said to Shen Yunfeng while drinking the soup: "Mr. Then I'll tell you some of my thoughts."

The "four" that the old man of the Sheng family mentioned refers to himself, his second son, his second daughter-in-law, and Sheng Ling.

Shen Yunfeng put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "The 'stone' used to press tofu at home is actually a tombstone."

"I think the full name of the tombstone should be 'Tombstone of Cuanfu Jun, the prefect of Qingzhou in the Ming Dynasty." Judging from the more than [-] characters on the inscription, it should record the life of an official named Cuan Zhenyan in the Ming Dynasty. "

"Combined with the two large and small tombstones currently stored in the Provincial Museum and the Cuanbei Pavilion, the time span of these three tombstones of the Cuan family is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then to the Ming Dynasty, which confirms that no matter how the dynasties change, the Cuan family is still alive. Through my own efforts and family background, I can always get some official positions in the long history of changing the king's banner at the top of the city."

Noticing that the second son and second daughter-in-law of the Sheng family were also listening more seriously, Shen Yunfeng continued: "Although this Cuan character exceeds thirty strokes, it is actually very easy to write and easy to remember."

Taking the pen and paper handed over by Sheng Ling, Shen Yunfeng wrote the word "Cuan" in big strokes.

Pointing to the font, he said: "Xing character starts, then Lin character waist, next is a big character, and finally under the big character is a fire character."

"Of course, this Xing is in traditional characters."

Shen Yunfeng took a look at the old man of the Sheng family who was drinking soup with his head down, and continued: "This Cuan family is an aristocratic family in ancient Yunnan Province. The very famous story of Zhuge Kongming's seven captures of Meng Huo in history took place in Nanzhong. At that time, there were three very The powerful families are Meng, Huo, and Cuan."

"And during the Western Jin Dynasty, the Cuan family began to show its true glory, and people from the clan began to serve as the governors of important places in the court."

"That small stele records the life of Cuan Baozi from the Cuan family. It says that although he only lived to be in his twenties, he still followed the tradition of a large family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. , and also inherited the official position of "General Zhenwei" from his ancestors, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a proper winner in life."

"The big Cuan stele is now hidden in the Provincial Museum, which records the history of the Cuan clan during the Three Kingdoms, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties."

"The tombstone in your house, I deduce that its full name should be 'Tombstone of Cuanfu Jun, the prefect of Qingzhou in the Ming Dynasty', which records the life of Cuan Zhenyan, the prefect of Qingzhou."

"As for whether my inference is correct or not, I have to ask experts from the Provincial Ph. D. to see it, and I can only confirm it after research."

"However, I can now say with certainty that this 'stone' used by the ancestors of Lao Sheng's family to press tofu is indeed a cultural relic, and it is still a cultural relic of great historical value."

Seeing that Shen Yunfeng had stopped talking, the second son of the Sheng family turned to look at his father and asked, "Dad, what do you mean?"

The old man of the Sheng family smiled, put down the soup bowl, took the paper towel handed over by Sheng Ling, wiped the soup stains on his beard and said, "Go to the stone factory in the afternoon and buy a suitable stone. Sheng Jichun The handmade tofu business cannot stop.”

When the old man of the Sheng family said this, the five members of Shen Yunfeng all showed joy on their faces.

Because this meant that the old man of the Sheng family had believed Shen Yunfeng's words, and planned to replace the Cuan's tombstone with ordinary stones.

"The Sheng family has a small family, and it has been more than 200 years since my grandfather settled down in this small village of Hanzhong."

The old man of the Sheng family looked at Shen Yunfeng and said.

"Since you said that the stone slab is a cultural relic, I believe you and agree with what you said earlier. Send it to the Provincial Museum for experts to study."

Shen Yunfeng smiled and said: "The old man is open-minded and sensible, and I, Shen Yunfeng, am not a person who doesn't know the rules."

"Although cultural relics are priceless and people's hearts are immeasurable, I am personally willing to give out 50 yuan as compensation to thank the old man and other Sheng family members for their donation to the provincial museum."

The old man of the Sheng family waved his hand and said: "Money is a trivial matter. Besides, I won't hide it from you guys. There are more than [-] people in the three generations of our Sheng family, and now there are five people working for the public. Girl Ling also had a bowl of rice. Eat, I resigned and came back because of me, a bad old man."

"Right now, the only one is his youngest son. Hahaha, he's very naughty and restless, but he's not bad-minded. In the future, he won't be much worse."

"So, Mr. Shen, I mean 50 is fine. When you carry the stele, it's best not to let the villagers know, hehehe, after all, tofu is made for people to eat. If the big guys know it's a tombstone It’s been pressed out, it shouldn’t be in my heart.”

"The procedures that should be waived are all waived, just take them away quietly."

When the old man of the Sheng family said this, Xu Wanzhou subconsciously glanced at Xu Qingzhou who was sitting next to him while eating, and pursed his lips and smiled.
