Zheng Guoping is a renowned historian of Daqian.
He has always advocated that all information should be based on the information obtained from documents and cultural relics, and hates remarks published based on ‘reasoning and speculation’. He usually gets angry when he hears others ‘guessing’.
But hearing Yuan Ying’s words, he had a feeling of ‘as expected’.
He even humbly asked for advice:
“Do you have relevant literature?”
“No.”
“Then how do you know, young friend?” Zheng Guoping’s expression was complex and his eyes contained anticipation.
Of course, it was because she saw it with her own eyes.
Yuan Ying answered his previous question: “Not now, but there will definitely be in the future.”
Zheng Guoping was stunned, his lips trembling with excitement:
“Are you saying… you can find Daqian’s literature?”
Yuan Ying nodded and said:
“I’ve seen it before, you can wait for my news.”
“Okay, okay, okay!” Zheng Guoping didn’t expect that Yuan Ying was even planning to let him see the literature, and became even more excited:
“You can ask for anything you want, young friend!”
As a famous historian, he has connections and resources, and maybe he can help her.
“I only have one request.”
Zheng Guoping looked at her seriously, thinking that he would agree to anything he could do.
“Don’t say that he is a jinx or a traitor, you must help him clear his name.”
“He is a very great general and should not be slandered like this.”
“I will find proof.”
Zheng Guoping: ???
The requests she made were all about Si Hongjing?
Thinking of the name she left behind, Mr. Si Hong, and the many old objects of Daqian, he couldn’t help but guess:
“Are you a descendant of the Si Hong family?”
Otherwise, why would she go to so much trouble for a person whose life was written in a few words in the history books?
“I know someone from the Si Hong family, but he is eccentric and doesn’t like to show his face,” Yuan Ying said.
All doubts disappeared instantly.
Because there are still descendants of the Si Hong family in the world, so she would know about Daqian’s affairs, have Daqian’s objects, and even be so sure that she could get Daqian’s literature.
“Then… if you get the literature, you must contact me! I have time at any time!” Old Zheng, who is so busy every day that he has to squeeze out time to sleep, said without hesitation.
Yuan Ying agreed.
Zheng Guoping then proposed to leave with his assistant.
When leaving, Yuan Ying handed the painting of a beautiful woman to him, asking him to donate it to the Beijing Museum on her behalf, and it was enough to leave the name Mr. Si Hong.
The moment Zheng Guoping got the painting of a beautiful woman, he fell into a state of high mental tension, fearing that he would bump or touch it.
Yuan Ying looked at it and regretted it a little.
Wouldn’t he go to Beijing in a tense state and faint after handing over the painting of a beautiful woman?
In the afternoon.
Yuan Ying had just studied the script for a while when she received a call from Li Yuxin, who complained:
“Remember to post a Weibo about your contract termination, and also, check your email when you have time! People who want to cooperate with you have come to me!”
She was obviously a person who used to have her phone in her hand all the time.
But after returning to the villa in her hometown, in just two or three weeks, she rarely even played with her phone, and was fulfilled and comfortable every day.
Yuan Ying first posted a Weibo, announcing that she had terminated her contract with her original brokerage company three weeks ago.
[Yuan Ying hasn’t been in this company since her debut? Why did she suddenly terminate the contract?]
[Three weeks ago, wasn’t that when Xu Nianyu was photographed by paparazzi?]
[Reasonable guess, is it that the brokerage company wanted to protect Xu Nianyu and forced Yuan Ying to do something, so she terminated the contract in anger.]
[I heard that the lobby manager of Jinhua Hotel was detained, this matter is probably related to Xu Nianyu, right?]
[An insider whispered, this company is very bad, Yuan Ying probably paid a lot of liquidated damages for terminating the contract.]
Because Xu Nianyu’s arrest was exposed first, everyone easily connected the two things together when Yuan Ying issued the termination statement.
As a result, Yuan Ying’s old brokerage company’s Weibo was thus besieged.
Even if they quickly issued a statement saying that the two parties chose to separate peacefully due to development issues, netizens still didn’t buy it.
After Yuan Ying posted the Weibo, she opened her work email.
Sure enough, there were many messages, most of which were advertising shoots and interviews.
She spent two hours dealing with it, almost rejecting all invitations except for submitting scripts.
She had to understand the script and the director team before she could make a decision on the scripts submitted.
So, after checking the information, it was already past six o’clock.
Because she was going to join the group in a while, she had already started to control her food intake, only ate some light salad, and it was time to deliver the food.
Just after watching the large truck convoy leave, Yuan Ying heard the sound of clanging in the yard.
She pushed the door open and walked in suspiciously.
There was no one in the yard, only a few broken swords were thrown.
It seemed that Si Hongjing had brought the discarded things today after she said she wanted them yesterday.
Yuan Ying quickly took a few steps and made room.
Next, the yard was indeed constantly adding more old things.
In the end, Si Hongjing appeared with a catapult.
If the time-space gate had no size limit, it would probably be stuck outside.
Si Hongjing moved with sweat all over his head:
“These can’t be used at all, is that okay too?”
“Yes! All kinds of clothes that you don’t want are also okay.”
Anyway, even if they are worn and tattered, they are cleaner and more complete than those unearthed after being placed in a tomb for thousands of years.
Si Hongjing glanced at Yuan Ying strangely.
Are people from thousands of years later so strange? They even want to see their rotten clothes.
Finally, Yuan Ying took out her mobile phone and searched for relevant information about the cultural relics museum for him to see, and Si Hongjing accepted this fact:
“Then I’ll bring you more other things next time.”
“Okay.”
Yuan Ying also asked him if he had any documents that could prove that he was the defender of Dongping Pass.
Si Hongjing was originally smart and instantly noticed something, and asked: “Even the fact that I am the defender of Dongping Pass is unknown?”
Yuan Ying nodded.
Si Hongjing pursed his lips tightly.
After a long time, he said: “Actually, these are not important anymore. For later generations, I am just an ancient person from thousands of years ago, you don’t have to worry about this kind of thing.”
For him, it is difficult to accept that he doesn’t even have the name of a defender.
But he guarded the border and defended the country not to be famous in history.
Therefore, he didn’t want Yuan Ying to waste her energy on this kind of thing.
Yuan Ying frowned, strongly disagreeing:
“You are the person I am taking the trouble to raise! I can’t bear to say a word about you, why can they slander you like that? I don’t agree.”
She said she… couldn’t bear it?
Si Hongjing was stunned on the spot, his mind constantly repeating Yuan Ying’s words just now.
Why is the person from thousands of years later so straightforward in speaking.
And…
One sentence made him lose all ability to think.
“I will find a way to get it for you.”
He lowered his eyes and took a deep breath secretly, fortunately the light at the door was dim, and Yuan Ying didn’t see his blushing face.
“Okay.” Yuan Ying patted Si Hongjing on the shoulder and said solemnly: “What you have done is admirable and is a great general worthy of respect.”
“So, don’t underestimate yourself at any time.”
“You deserve it.”
