Because this hotel is relatively famous, Meng Zitao didn't feel too strange that Zhang Jingqiang lived in the same hotel as himself. But when he saw the old man standing next to Zhang Jingqiang, he couldn't help muttering "What a coincidence" in his heart.

Because, this person is the old man surnamed Jin who was in the rubbing booth just now.

"Why is he here?"

Thinking so, Meng Zitao greeted him, and after saying hello, he asked politely, "Mr. Zhang, who is this?"

Zhang Jingqiang introduced the two parties with a smile, and when he learned the name of the other party, Meng Zitao immediately understood why the stall owner was so polite to the old man just now.

The old man's name is Jin Qifu, who is a collector of ancient books in Jinling, and is also a well-known expert in the identification of rare books in the country.

After a few words of greeting, Jin Qifu asked, "Xiao Meng, did we meet just now?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "Yes, I was next to your old man just now. ”

"I'll just say it's familiar. Jin Qifu smiled and glanced at the box that Meng Zitao was holding, and felt a little strange in his heart, why did Meng Zitao buy this box, but he didn't ask much.

Zhang Jingqiang didn't know why, he looked at Meng Zitao holding a box, thinking that he had gained a lot, so he asked with a smile: "Xiao Meng, I have gained a lot today." ”

"It's ok. What Meng Zitao said was vague, this is because when he says it now, there is always some suspicion that Jin Qifu will be slapped in the face.

Zhang Jingqiang knew Meng Zitao's achievements during this time, and after hearing this, he thought that Meng Zitao must have missed it again, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Xiao Meng, can you give me something to enjoy?"

Meng Zitao was a little speechless, and said in his heart, didn't you let me offend people by saying this? Of course, Zhang Jingqiang didn't know about this, so he couldn't complain about him.

There is a way that people are old and become fine, as soon as he saw Meng Zitao's hesitant appearance, Jin Qifu understood what was going on, he was originally very curious about Meng Zitao to buy this box of rubbings, and now he learned that he was likely to be blind, and his heart was even more curious.

So, he smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, let's do this, it's also a common thing to look around, you don't have to take care of me." ”

When Zhang Jingqiang heard this, he immediately knew that his curiosity had almost offended Meng Zitao, so he smiled at Meng Zitao a little embarrassed, and then he immediately led everyone to the restaurant and asked for a private room.

asked the waiter to wipe the table again, and Meng Zitao took out the rubbings and asked the two to appreciate them.

Seeing that Meng Zitao was so careful, Jin Qifu took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on, then he took a rubbing, opened it and looked at it, his expression was stunned, and his face was full of incredulity.

On the other side, Zhang Jingqiang also took a copy with gloves on and read it, but obviously, he didn't study much rubbing, and when he saw Jin Qifu's expression next to him, he was a little itchy, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Meng, what kind of rubbing is this?"

"Xiping Stone Scripture. Meng Zitao replied with a smile.

Zhang Jingqiang asked with some confusion: "Xiping Shijing?"

Meng Zitao explained with a smile: ""Xiping Stone Classic", also known as "Eastern Han Taixue Stone Classic", is the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Ling in order to maintain his dominant position, ordered the correction of Confucian classics, sent Cai Yong and others to copy and carve the Confucian Seven Classics ("Lu Shi", "Shangshu", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", "Ram Biography", "Etiquette", "Analects") into stone books, a total of 8 years to carve, carved into 46 stone tablets. Each stele is more than 3 meters high and more than 1 meter wide. ”

"Xiping Stone Scripture" is the earliest official Confucian scripture engraved on the stone tablet in our country, because its font is the official book, so it is also called "one stone scripture". Because it is the earliest Confucian classic stone inscription in the history of our country, it has a very high academic research value, and at the same time, it is also a precious material for the study of calligraphy in the Han Dynasty. ”

After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Zhang Jingqiang asked in surprise: "Since this thing is so important, why haven't you heard of it before?"

Meng Zitao said: "No way, it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, not long after the establishment of the "Xiping Stone Scripture", Dong Zhuo burned down the Luoyang Palace Temple, and the Stone Scripture had been destroyed. When he arrived in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the stele was moved from Luoyang to Yedu, but the stele fell into the water halfway through, and less than half of it was transported to Yedu. ”

"During the opening of the Sui Dynasty, it was transported from Yedu to Xijing, but the construction department actually used a stone tablet as the cornerstone of the pillar. By the time of Tang Zhenguan, when Wei Zheng went to collect the remnants of the stone scriptures, they were almost completely destroyed. ”

Until the Song Dynasty, there are only occasionally stone remnants unearthed, and then successively found some fragmentary remnants in Luoyang and Xijing, to the Republic of China period in the Taixue site when there are remnants of stone unearthed, up to hundreds of pieces, according to statistics, a total of 8275 words. So far, more than 600 words have been excavated and collected, with a total of more than 8,800 words. ”

At this time, Jin Qifu raised his head and took over the words: "These remnant stones are now collected in several national museums, and there are also scattered abroad, plus the current Chinese culture is not prosperous, of course there are not many ordinary people who know about it." ”

Zhang Jingqiang's eyes lit up: "In other words, these rubbings are very precious?"

Jin Qifu said: "Whether it is precious or not, it depends on the version of which period, if the version is good, and the rubbing is not found now, it will be precious." ”

Zhang Jingqiang asked, "Then when are these rubbings?"

Meng Zitao replied: "I looked at it before, it should be a rubbing of the Song Dynasty, whether it is or not, it needs to be carefully identified." As for whether it is a rubbing that I haven't found before, I don't know much about this aspect, and I need to check the relevant information to know. ”

Speaking of this, he secretly said, not surprisingly, these rubbings should be content that has not been discovered now, otherwise, it would not be worth four or five million.

Jin Qifu took a brief look at the remaining rubbings and said: "The Tibetan seal on this should be not fake, no accident, it should be the Song book." Moreover, the content of these rubbings, I have not seen them before, and they are probably the only ones. If it can be confirmed, then these rubbings are all treasures!"

At this time, he was a little annoyed in his heart, obviously he had also discovered these rubbings, but because he didn't read them all, he missed these treasures, and he felt depressed when he thought about it.

Seeing Jin Qifu's depressed look, Zhang Jingqiang hurriedly said: "As the old saying goes, people make mistakes, horses make mistakes, we are not machines after all, there will always be times when we are careless." ”

Meng Zitao took over and said: "Mr. Zhang is right, I usually see these 'hands' things, and I don't look at them carefully, I just feel curious today, plus I was lucky enough to draw it." Otherwise, these treasures are still in the hands of the boss. ”

Jin Qifu has a lot of experience in the antique industry, and he has seen all kinds of winds and waves, so he immediately adjusted his mentality, and said with a smile: "It's okay, who told me that I was a little unlucky." Xiao Meng, can I make a rash request, would it be good to give me these rubbings? Don't worry, whether it's money or things, I will definitely satisfy you. ”

Meng Zitao didn't think much about it, so he agreed with a smile: "Jin Lao, I mainly like to collect cultural toys, of course these rubbings can be transferred to you." ”

Seeing that Meng Zitao agreed to the transfer, Jin Qifu was extremely happy, but Zhang Jingqiang next to him was a little anxious: "I said Jin Lao, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, do you think those who see it have a share?"

"What does the one who sees it!" Jin Qifu blew his beard and glared: "You don't know much about rubbing, what are you fighting with me?"

Zhang Jingqiang smiled and said: "I really don't know much about rubbing, but well, I buy antiques more for investment, these treasures with huge appreciation potential, of course you can't miss it!"

Jin Qifu scolded angrily: "You guy, your mind is full of money, and now there are too many people like you in this industry, and there is a miasma of smoke, all of which smell of copper, and all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have come out." ”

Zhang Jingqiang said with a smile: "What you said is just a side effect, it is precisely because of the participation of our unjust bosses that the price of antiques has risen, and in fact, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." ”

"If I had to say, it was still the same atmosphere as before. Jin Qifu muttered.

Meng Zitao snickered, he believed that Jin Qifu was just complaining when he said this, just like many people on the Internet now miss the simplicity of the seventies and eighties, but if they really let them go back to that, facing the life of poverty and whiteness, I don't know how many of them are willing.

Next, Zhang Jingqiang was soft and hard for a while, Jin Qifu couldn't help it, and said, "Why are you so salivating." I definitely can't give you these rubbings, so let's do it, I still have some copperware at home, and you can pick out your favorite ones later. ”

Zhang Jingqiang salivated and said, "Can't you pick a few more?"

Jin Qifu glared angrily: "You kid don't have to make an inch, it's good to pick one for you, and if it's crooked, I won't give you a single one." ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, he gave Zhang Jingqiang a look, and was reminded, Zhang Jingqiang understood after a little thought, Jin Qifu's main collection is rare books, and the bronzes that can be left by him must be extraordinary, perhaps, they are more precious than these rare books.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingqiang hurriedly smiled and said, "Then thank you Jin Lao." ”

"Hmph!" Jin Qifu snorted, and then said to Meng Zitao: "Xiao Meng, I don't know if you plan to ask for things or money?"

Meng Zitao thought for a moment, and then arched his hand at Jin Qifu: "Jin Lao, I wonder if the kid can have the honor to visit your collection?"

Jin Qifu said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, wait for Xiao Liu to come in a while, let's go to my house." ”

Zhang Jingqiang said: "Don't you have breakfast?"

Jin Qifu said: "Nonsense! If you don't have breakfast, why am I coming here, or are you going to invite us?"

Zhang Jingqiang smiled: "How can this be, waiter, order ......"
