Chapter 39: The Western Xia Dynasty

Previous Chapter

After contacting Ma Ye, I carefully wrapped the bronze ring with a tissue, put it in a small box containing jewelry, and went straight to Ma Ye's research institute with the bag on my back.

It was already 7 o'clock in the evening when I arrived at Ma Ye's research institute, and all the staff in Ma Ye's research room were still sticking to their respective posts, just waiting for my arrival.

After seeing Ma Ye, I didn't be verbose, and quickly handed the bracelet to Ma Ye, who wore white gloves and took it carefully. He repeatedly used a magnifying glass to carefully observe, and after about ten minutes, he put the bracelet into the tray and handed it to the staff, who wanted to take it away.

"Master Ma?!Is this?" I wasn't sure what the staff was going to do

"Don't worry, kid, I'm just asking them to take it and test the composition of the bronze rust to verify my judgment. ”

I was relieved and followed Ma Ye back to his office.

"Son, where did you get this thing you brought here?" he motioned for me to sit down.

"To tell you the truth, my classmate picked it up during a northwest wind collection. Master Ma, do you look at this thing, ......?"

"This thing is not small, did you really pick it up?"

"Yes, but ......" I stopped talking, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not.

"Don't worry, I've been friends with your uncle for many years, and I've been working in the field of cultural relics for many years. He pushed his glasses and took a sip of tea.

"What the hell do you think this thing is?" I eager.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you exactly when the test report comes out. He saw that I was anxious, and said, "My preliminary judgment is that this is a relic of the Western Xia Dynasty." ”

"Western Xia, the dynasty that stood side by side with the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty?"

Ma Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at me, obviously, he was surprised that I would know this at a young age. He smiled reassuringly, looked at me for a few seconds, and nodded.

"Tell me, how much do you know about the Western Xia Dynasty. ”

"I'm fur. I smiled, "This dynasty was established by the Dangxiang clan, the first emperor was Li Yuanhao, this ethnic group was first active in the Songpan Plateau in Sichuan, and later the Tang Dynasty moved north to northern Shaanxi, because of the military merits of this nation was awarded by the Tang Dynasty to make a festival envoy, and later all submitted to the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties, And the Song Dynasty, maybe the Song Dynasty is too weak, around 1038, Li Yuanhao in the current Hexi Corridor area, the founding of the country called the emperor, self-proclaimed Bai Gao Daxia Kingdom, Li Yuanhao history called Xia Jingzong, because in the west of the Song Dynasty, the Song people called it Xixia, it has its own independent writing, currency, etc., before and after the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao, Jin side by side, the founding of the People's Republic of China 189 years, if you count the Tang Dynasty to grant the festival envoy period, about 350 years or so, now in the west of Yinchuan City, there is also the tomb of the Xixia King, known as the Chinese pyramid. Master Ma, that's all I know, it's really fur, you're smiling. ”

Ma Ye always looked at me with a smile, when I explained, the excitement and relief on his face were fully revealed, although we didn't get along for a long time, but I could feel that he liked me as a junior.

"I look at you, you don't look like Xiao Lei's niece, but like your own daughter. None of that guy's two sons are like his, but it's not bad, one is one and one martial arts, and he can be regarded as a good boy. He almost burst out laughing. "What grade are you in now?"

It is estimated that in the near future, I will become Uncle Lei's daughter, but I didn't say this, I just thought about it in my heart for a while, and secretly stuck out my tongue to myself.

"Master Ma, you are smiling. I'm a sophomore this year, and I'm studying journalism at Renmin University. ”

"Okay, good, it's really a good seedling, if you have the opportunity, let's talk more, you can come and sit by yourself." I'll introduce you to Yu Feng when the time comes, and that's also an interesting kid. ”

"Yu Feng?

"yes, what? You know?"

"Sort of, a couple of sides. "Suddenly something flashed through my brain, if Yu Feng is a student of Ma Ye? So did Yu Feng reveal this matter to Ma Ye? I looked at my watch, it was not too late, and I wanted to call Yu Feng and them.

At this time, a female staff member in a white coat walked into Ma Ye's office with a tray in her hand.

"Ma Ye, we have already tested this, and after comparing various items, it can be identified as a relic of the Western Xia Dynasty from the perspective of chemical firmness. As she spoke, her white-gloved hand carefully placed the ring on the white paper in front of Ma Ye, and then turned to leave.

"Xiao Cheng, this bracelet can basically be identified as a cultural relic from the Western Xia Dynasty, shouldn't you tell me its origin?" Ma Ye suddenly became serious.

"Master Ma, I, I don't know, I really don't know. "I'm stumbling.

I can't figure out whether I should tell Pan Yang and them about them, although Ma Ye seems to be very nice and kind, but I can't be sure if there will be any bad effects if I tell the truth. In case, then Pan Yang and they are finished.

Just as I was hesitating, the voice of the secretary came from outside.

"Mr. Lei, Mr. Lei, Mr. Lei, Master Ma is meeting guests, please wait a minute......"

I stood up and looked at the gate with a pleading look. Sure enough, Uncle Lei's tall figure appeared at the gate, and he didn't report it, he had already pushed the door and walked in.

"Ma Ye, I'm here!" Uncle Lei's voice was loud.

Hahaha! Ma Ye laughed and stood up to greet Uncle Lei.

"You guy, forever so uninhibited, even dared to break into my office today. Ma Ye stretched out his hand to shake Uncle Lei.

"I'm your favorite offspring, I'm here to be domineering, aren't you welcome? I'm your number one fan. Uncle Lei laughed while talking, talking and laughing.

"You guy, sit down!" Saying that, Ma Ye also walked out of the desk and sat down on the sofa with Uncle Lei, "Secretary Qin, pour a cup of tea, and then you can also get off work, it's too late today, notify everyone to get off work, and I'll lock the door in a while." ”

Secretary Qin poured a cup of tea for Uncle Lei, and thoughtfully brought me a cup for the junior, and put the kettle on the coffee table, and after arranging everything in the office, she quit the office and got off work.

During this period, Ma Ye and Uncle Lei were basically catching up or joking with each other, and when Secretary Qin left and heard the sound of the door closing, the two suddenly sat up straight and talked about my cultural relics.

Ma Ye told Uncle Lei that the thing I brought is indeed at the level of cultural relics, but these things may be involved in the theft of national cultural relics, so if you want to really get effective help, you must know the origin of this thing. After speaking
