065: Xu family guests

Bidding farewell to the enchanting and Xiaolan named Amamiya Qinyue, Zhou You got into the belated domestic business car, and slowly disappeared at the end of the street in Xiaolan's glowing eyes.

But even though Zhou You has disappeared from view, the mood of the two women is still unsettled.

Xiaolan just got a sales commission of tens of thousands of yuan, and got an extra noble evening dress that I am afraid she would not dare to buy in her life.

As for Amamiya Kototsuki, a business representative from a famous Japanese fashion brand, she has very mixed emotions about travel. She is a woman who is cold and strong on the outside, but weak on the inside, in a society like Japan, a woman, especially a beautiful and successful woman, will always be entangled and slandered for some reason, and a special woman like Amamiya Kototsuki, who has mastered both beauty and success to an extreme, is even more under heavy pressure from the outside world.

But today's trip made her feel a taste that she couldn't feel in men before:

Understated luxury.

Although Amamiya Kototsuki and Zhou You left contact information for each other, Amamiya Kototsuki knew that there were too few opportunities to meet Zhou You in the future, and maybe they would be separated forever, and there was inevitably an irrepressible sense of loss in her heart.

But that's all she can do.

On the other hand, Zhou You's here, he quickly returned to Xu Lao's exaggerated mansion under the strict "escort" of Wu Qiang, Wang Hao and others, and began their autumn reckoning.

However, when Zhou You and the others returned to Xu Lao's Xiangyu Zhai, what they felt at the entrance was not a tense atmosphere, but a harmonious atmosphere, Xu Lao was talking with two old men who were also old, but both had the same temperament as Xu Lao, and from time to time pointed at a few treasures left by Zhou You.

Xu Jie was afraid that Zhou You would be emotional, so he hurriedly reminded: "Xiaoyou, I forgot to tell you, grandpa doesn't know what happened to you." I was afraid that my grandfather would be worried, so I didn't tell him, and even Sister Man secretly mentioned a few times. ”

Zhou You nodded in understanding.

"You're back, quick, I'll introduce you to the two old-timers in the circle. ”

When Xu Lao saw the three proud disciples returning, he immediately waved to them proudly, introduced Zhou You, Wang Hao and Jiang Jun one by one, and then introduced two old men with extraordinary temperament to Zhou You: "This person with eyes is the director of the Provincial Museum, you can call him Director Huang, and this healthy body is a well-known doctor of Western ancient culture in the country, and he is the best at identifying Western cultural relics, you can call him Ming Lao." ”

When Director Huang saw them traveling around, he also praised them greatly: "Brother Xu is still amazing! I thought that you went to Mingyuan City just to relax and care for the elderly, but I didn't want to go to cultivate disciples, and once I cultivated, there were three, and the most excessive thing was that they were all so good, Brother Xu was really blessed." ”

Ming Lao couldn't help but nod his head and praised: "Yes, you can receive so many valuable things at a young age, and you still have the courage to open an antique shop, such a young man is really rare, I really admire Brother Xu's blessing." ”

"Haha......"

Xu Lao hurriedly complimented: "Don't always praise them, otherwise their tails won't rise to the sky." Now they are at a critical moment in their studies, and they can't be complacent because of their small achievements. ”

Although Xu Lao said so, the pride in his expression did not need to be concealed.

"Of course!"

Curator Huang and Ming Lao said that they would take care of them.

Xu Lao suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly beckoned: "By the way, Xiaoyou, come and listen to Brother Ming's analysis of the gladiator sword you found." ”

Ming Lao also cooperated, picked up the gladiator's sword placed in the box, straightened his throat a little, and actually asked Zhou You: "Xiaoyou, do you know the status of gladiators in ancient Rome?"

Zhou You nodded and replied, "Generally speaking, gladiators have a slightly higher social status than slaves. However, because of the lack of entertainment programs and low experience in ancient times, the gladiator's bloody and passionate profession has a bit of a strange taste. Gladiators who were invincible and skilled in fighting became stars and were popular with the public, especially the ladies of Europe. Historically, there is considerable evidence that the aristocratic women of the time admired the warriors of these arenas. ”

After hearing this, Ming Lao knew that he sincerely praised and said: "Okay, very good, Xiaoyou is worthy of being a proud disciple of Xu Lao, and he even has such a remote knowledge." ”

After complimenting him, Ming Lao finally became serious and carefully analyzed: "This sword, whether it is the shape or texture, is in line with the fighting style of ancient Rome. But if so, it is not possible to speculate on the specific owner of this sword, and the story behind it. However, with the Roman royal emblem behind the hilt, the old man vaguely guessed who the owner of the sword was. ”

"Who?"

Wang Hao asked a stupid question.

Ming Lao didn't care, and replied slowly: "Commodus, one of the most despicable monarchs of the Roman Empire, who single-handedly ended the prosperity of the era of the Five Wise Monarchs and plunged the Roman Empire into war, that is, the mother of Commodeus, was once crazy about the gladiator Martinos. However, this is just a legend, and there has been no definite evidence to prove it, but the appearance of this sword today can be defined by this rumor. ”

Zhou You swallowed his saliva and asked weakly, "Ming Lao said that this sword was a weapon given to the gladiator Martinos by the mother of the Roman Emperor Commodus?"

"Hmm!"

Ming Lao nodded and replied: "Although this is just my speculation, if this news is spread, it will definitely cause a sensation among those Western historians." ”

"Zhou You understands!"

Zhou You smiled bitterly when he heard this, he didn't expect that the mutilated ancient sword that he had received because of the special power in the sword would have such a big origin, it was really an unexpected surprise.

Wang Hao's eyes lit up and asked, "The royal sword of ancient Rome, how much is this worth?"

Syllable!

Xu Lao directly slapped Wang Hao.

Xu Lao scolded in a tone of hatred: "Your kid's temper is still like that, and he has been in the money hole all day long." ”

Jiang Jun frowned at Wang Hao and said hatefully: "Those foreigners robbed us of so many national treasures, and now they are hyping it up and letting the rich people in our country buy it back." Now it is rare to have something that they are concerned about, if they don't come back with something valuable, how can they be worthy of the hearts of the 1.3 billion people. ”

Wang Hao is not a stupid person, and immediately understood the meaning of Jiang Jun's words.

Originally, Xu Lao wanted to say something, but after listening to Jiang Jun's words, he felt that things had become more interesting, at least more valuable than showing off.

Zhou You patted Jiang Jun on the shoulder and said, "General, this matter will trouble you, after all, you know a lot of people." If you can exchange a few valuable things back, it would be good to use them as the treasure of our store. ”

Jiang Jun had already thought of this and nodded knowingly.

Ming Lao suddenly said: "I know a few foreign private collectors, and I may be able to help you get in touch." ”

Xu Lao didn't wait for their reaction, and immediately made up his mind: "In this way, it will trouble Brother Ming." ”

Ming Lao hurriedly replied: "We have known each other for so many years, so what are you polite about." What's more, this event is very meaningful, if I can exchange a few valuable national treasures, then I will be worthy of my heart in this life. ”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Wang Hao still has a good memory, and hurriedly reminded: "Xiaoyou, what about the enamel color mountain stone flower pattern bowl you received in the ghost market? There are so many old-timers here now, hurry up and take it out!"

"Enamel color mountain stone flower pattern bowl!"

Curator Huang was willing to be an escort, but when he heard the name of "Enamel Colored Mountain Stone Flower Pattern Bowl", he couldn't sit down, and immediately looked at Zhou You and the others with an anxious look.

Elder Xu was very calm, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't be nervous, my disciples can always give us unexpected surprises." ”

After all, Director Huang is the head of a museum, a knowledgeable person, and he quickly calmed down.

Zhou You was not sloppy, and immediately took out the well-preserved enamel color mountain stone flower pattern bowl, and put it in front of the three old-timers for them to analyze and identify.

"It's so new!"

"It's complete!"

"Seems to be a bit of a doorway!"

The three old-timers have their own opinions at first sight, and it seems that it will be difficult to unify in a short period of time.

"Bring my tools!"

After Xu Lao observed, he really couldn't find a flaw, so he had to use tools.

Xu Jie, on the other hand, was very well-behaved, and immediately ran into the room and took out a set of strange tools.

After a special flashlight, multi-faceted mirror, high-definition magnifying glass and other tools that can emit a strange brilliance were tested on the enamel color mountain stone flower pattern bowl, the three old-timers finally had a preliminary evaluation.

Xu Lao didn't speak, and asked, "Xiaoyou, what did you rely on to receive this bowl?"

Zhou You replied with a smile: "I couldn't find any flaws, and the 'money' stamp at the bottom of the bowl reminded me of a person, so I boldly bought it." ”

Wang Hao finally thought of someone and asked, "Qian Weicheng?"

The three old men nodded at the same time.

Qian Weicheng, the first name Xinlai, the word Zongpan, also the word You'an, the number You'an, Chashan, and the name Jiaxuan in his later years, his ancestral home was Wuxi, a native of Changzhou (Juqingguo Lane) in the south of the Yangtze River, and an official of the Qing Dynasty. However, he also has a very sensitive identity: he is one of the imperial painters who enshrined paper paintings for Qianlong, and most of the enamel paintings are from the drafts of the imperial paper silk paintings of the imperial court.

There's such a lot of money here, and it's really reminiscent.

But Ming Lao didn't want to dwell on this issue, and asked directly: "Xiaoyou, aren't you worried that it is too perfect and too new?"

Zhou You replied with a smile: "Yes, I am indeed worried, but no matter how worried I am, I can't change its true identity." ”

Director Huang muttered: "In the early days, the enamel color was made first at the unglazed place of the carcass, and then the flowers were painted, with flowers but no birds; Xiaoyou's enamel porcelain is flawless in these aspects, and I can't fault it at all. ”

Regarding Director Huang's evaluation, Zhou You was not too excited, but more calm.

Xu Lao said very notarily: "Whether this enamel porcelain is true or not, its artistic value has surpassed the scope of ordinary works of art, so Xiaoyou will not lose a lot of money in this transaction anyway, at most it is just a small loss." ”

The bitter taste on Zhou You's face became stronger.
