Section 5, the cabinet master is an extraordinary person
The secretary promptly set off.
Tang Hengdao! The cabinet master handed over the knife, which Chang Hong respectfully received with both hands. After just a glance, he remarked: "It looks authentic; further verification of the era would make it even more reliable"
Bang
"Speak!" The cabinet master shouted, and then pointed to the door. Wang Wu immediately jogged over to close the door
At this moment, Li Yuanxing opened his backpack again
The cabinet elder spoke without raising his voice: "Xing Wawa is my grandson, and I trust his words. As for the other matter, the change at the Xuanwu Gate involving Qin Qiong, that is yours! The rest, let my grandson clear it up!"
At the time of Xuanwu Gate, Qin Qiong carried a knife, which was stained with the blood of Li Yuanji. That knife was preserved exceptionally well!" Li Yuanxing's words left the shopkeeper's eyes filled with confusion and distraction. Li Yuanxing continued, "Shopkeeper, can that knife be sold for a good price?"
When the manager spoke, the guard did not dare to show any signs of negligence and immediately made an internal call. Director Chang, who had just sat down in his office and picked up a newspaper, heard the secretary's report, threw the newspaper on the floor, and hurriedly walked out while telling the secretary: "Immediately ask Section Chief Zhang to arrange the appraisal room, open the small meeting room, and bring out the good tea from my collection. Hurry up"
Li Yuanxing's mind was racing, and he immediately had an idea: "There are still two, one of which the other party said has a history. It is said that during the Xuanwu Gate Incident..." At this point, Li Yuanxing hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to obtain a high-quality one from Li Er or Qin Qiong after returning to the Tang Dynasty, rather than one used by ordinary soldiers.
At this moment, the cabinet master said, "Sell it, sell it for a good price. My grandson needs money; he needs the money to acquire another one!"
Follow me! Money is a trivial matter! The old man is furious
At this moment, the old man at the counter left Li Yuanxing and the others dumbfounded, all of them in a daze. Is this still the same old beggar who used to joke around and smile all the time? A director of a provincial museum personally came out to greet him, respectfully addressing him as 'teacher.' What did this old man do in Beijing before? It seems they can no longer dare to call him a beggar; he should be referred to as 'the old man at the counter' instead
This must belong to me! Chang Hong has set his sights on the wooden bowl
Li Yuanxing was taken aback; if anything were to happen to this old man, wouldn't his own grandfather jump out of the ancestral tomb to slap him
"Sir, sir. This is just a sample; there are two more that are truly excellent."
Wang Wu drove again, this time directly taking five people straight to the Provincial Museum. Gui Ye held the long knife with both hands, his expression grave, and throughout the journey, none of the four young people dared to say a word.
The wine was placed on the table, yet the old beggar did not even glance at it, his gaze fixed solely on the knife handle protruding from the cloth bag
Those who can come to the museum early in the morning are often individuals with profound culture and refinement
Several young brothers, please! Upon learning that Li Yuanxing came together with the cabinet master, Director Chang smiled and said
Indeed! The expression in the cabinet master's eyes changed, revealing a hint of murderous intent. Although this aura could not be compared to that of the ruthless Qin Qiong, it still made Li Yuanxing shiver in fear
As soon as the guard heard the young attendant speak, he intended to call the director to have the person removed. Just as he was about to do so, he saw an old man approaching with a long knife in hand. The old man's demeanor was undoubtedly that of a significant figure. The guard had seen thousands of people and had some discernment; he immediately picked up a pen and paper: "Please state your reason so that I can report it upward"
The office area of the Provincial Museum is located at hetushu.com. Wang Wu is unaware of this, so the parking lot they chose is designated for visitors.
The broken Tang sword can be sold, but the incident at Xuanwu Gate involving Qin Qiong is a cultural relic. Donating it to the museum is the most secure approach, and with the assistance of Director Chang in the future, the prospects seem increasingly promising
After much effort, Li Yuanxing managed to persuade the shopkeeper, feigning a pitiful demeanor: "Shopkeeper, you know well that Xiao Qi's injury needs treatment; otherwise, I will never be at ease for the rest of my life if he is left disabled."
A bottle of Xifeng priced at over 200 is already considered a good wine
The doorman did not receive a response and felt it inappropriate to urge further; he merely informed the clerk that someone had already gone to find the director
There is a bit of perceptiveness, the great Tang sword. What a pity, what a pity! The cabinet master wept, touching the blade while shedding tears: "I did not take good care of it, the blade is damaged, it is damaged!"
The True Tang Dao! Li Yuanxing held a great deal of respect for the shopkeeper, as he was a person of considerable ability. Decades ago, he had fought alongside Li Yuanxing's grandfather on the battlefield, and later moved to Beijing to live. In recent years, having grown old, he returned to his hometown and was drawn to this shop, so he made it his home.
Having just opened the shop, with no customers inside, the old man sat at the counter smoking his pipe
Before long, a stout man rushed out, panting heavily, completely disregarding the astonished gazes of everyone around him. He hurriedly bowed deeply before the master, saying, "I, Chang Hong, have kept you waiting, and I apologize for my tardiness!" His attitude was as respectful as it could be, and the expressions of those around him shifted from surprise to approval
Inform Chang Hong to arrange for someone to prepare the appraisal, get the tea ready, and the old man's surname is Li
Guai Ye and Chang Hong are both experts among experts, not the kind of so-called experts, but true specialists who can identify ancient artifacts with just a glance. Particularly that piece of lacquerware, which was not something that could be afforded by just anyone during the Tang Dynasty; it was truly an item for the nobility.
A resounding slap struck Li Yuanxing's face: "Prodigal son, you worthless scoundrel."
With a single statement, Li Yuanxing silently praised the cabinet master for his brilliance
The results of the appraisal have driven the museum staff wild; a Tang sword preserved in such excellent condition can undoubtedly be classified as a cultural relic
When Chang Hong heard that another one was to be sold, he intended to persuade his teacher, thinking that such an item could not possibly be sold easily. However, his teacher's patriotism and love for cultural relics are well-known throughout the national antiquities community. Upon hearing about the other one, Chang Hong's heart became unsettled.
The secretary was taken aback; Director Chang had already walked out.
The cabinet master picked up the Tang knife and was about to strike Li Yuanxing, which terrified the other three. Before they could intervene, the cabinet master put down the knife, then picked up a bottle of wine worth three hundred yuan and was about to smash it over Li Yuanxing's head, while cursing: "It's not good to injure someone with a knife!"
The old beggar tapped his pipe on the edge of the table a few times, then extended his left hand and said, "Hand it over!"
Go find the curator! After getting off the car, the steward finally spoke, and his somber face showed some signs of relaxation. The young attendant immediately ran quickly towards the gatekeeper.
Go! The cabinet master remains cold and indifferent
Director Chang, who had reached the door, turned back and shouted, "Hurry, be quick, and do it well"
"Master Guì! Master of the Eye!" Li Yuanxing once again adopted the joking tone he usually used with the old beggar. In fact, in this antique market, who would not respectfully address the old beggar as Master Guì? He is truly the master of discernment, possessing an understanding of everything that this old man cannot comprehend.
