Chapter 272 My Great Grandfather is Fang Jintang



"Old man, when you were in Liulichang, did you ever hear about the Rongxiang?"

When Silk Painting Liu heard the name of Rong Xiang, he immediately became energetic.

"For people like us, everyone knows Rong Xiang. Back then, Rong Xiang was very famous in Beijing. Unfortunately, due to the chaos, Rong Xiang moved most of its business to Hai City. It only kept a small store in Beijing City!"

Liu the Silk Painting continued, "My father was friends with the manager of Rong Xiang Hao. When the manager left, my father took me with him to see him off. Dozens of carts of good stuff and hundreds of people followed him to Hai City!"

Silk painting Liu still has a very clear memory of this incident in his mind.

She didn't expect such a coincidence.

"What's the name of the Rong Xiang shop manager you mentioned?"

Silk painting Liu: "Fang Jintang."

Fang Zongtang: “…”

Silk Painting Liu: "When I named my grandson, I used the word Jin from my father's friend's name, which also happened to be brocade."

She quickly asked, "Did your father keep in touch with Fang Jintang later?"

Silk painting Liu immediately shook his head.

"It was a chaotic situation at that time. It was lucky to be alive."

Just when she was about to be disappointed, suddenly~

"When my family and I fled to Chao City, we met Mrs. Fang and her eldest son there!"

Fang Zongtang: “…” I got goosebumps from the excitement.

It's like a new village after a dark period~

We sent out so many people and searched for such a long time, but there is still no news.

Once a man who was selling fake imperial edicts was arrested, the news was leaked out.

"So, Fang Jintang's wife and eldest son are now in Chao City?"

Silk Painting Liu immediately shook his head.

"My family and Mrs. Fang have been neighbors in Chao City for more than ten years. Not long after Mrs. Fang passed away, chaos broke out again. We were separated from the Fang family. After my family and I came to Hong Kong for refuge, we lost contact with the Fang family. Why are you asking this?"

There was bitterness in Fang Zongtang's tone.

"It would have been great if my great grandfather had met you fifteen years earlier!"

Juanhua Liu heard something was wrong.

"Who is your great grandfather?"

She gave her great-grandfather's name.

"Fang Jintang!"

Juanhua Liu relaxed so much that he almost fell off the bench.

She quickly stood up and grabbed it.

"Old man, are you okay?"

Juanhua Liu was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"If only we could have met earlier!"

Who says it’s not?

Fang Zongtang was also very excited: "I have been looking for news about my great grandfather for these years. But I haven't found any. I thought my great grandmother and great grandfather died when they separated from my great grandfather."

Juanhua Liu quickly explained: "At that time, everyone wanted to escape to Hong Kong, and it was hard to get a boat ticket to Hong Kong. Your great-grandmother was also worried that your great-grandfather didn't get on the boat, so she refused to leave. When she wanted to leave later, there was no chance anymore!"

She understood that in the chaos, she had no choice!

Now we know that my great-grandfather may still be alive, and that the one who was separated has married and had children, and the location of their separation has been locked down, which is already very good!

Juanhua Liu didn't expect that they had such a fate, and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Your great-grandmother was a very good person. When our family fled to Chao City, we had already spent all our money. It was your great-grandmother who supported us, gave us a house to live in, gave us food to eat, and rented us land to grow crops. If it weren't for your great-grandmother, our family would have starved to death or died of disease long ago!"
