Chapter 1862: A Mountain Is Taller Than A Mountain
Hearing that it was Wu Yuantu's great-granddaughter, everyone frowned, because they didn't know why Wu Monroe wrote to Old Man Ye at this time.
Ren Sili was more direct, and asked: "General Ye, don't sell Guanzi, what's going on, why did Wu Monroe write to you at this time?"
Old Man Ye sighed and said: "This girl said in the letter that his great-grandfather Wu Yuantu began the plan to get twenty-four bronzes in his hands since he arrived in the United States, and after decades have passed, the twenty-four bronzes have all entered his hands, and he intends to return them." ”
"What?" everyone was shocked.
Zhang Tianyuan saw Old Man Ye's sad face, but asked a little strangely: "Old Man Ye, it stands to reason that this should be a good thing, why do you look unhappy?"
"Yes, General Ye, if the twenty-four bronzes can be returned to our country, it will not only be a great achievement in the history of our country's cultural relics, but also a great thing for the dead Tang Wentian and his wife. Wang Feng was also confused.
Old Man Ye said helplessly: "He plans to return it, but there is one condition!"
Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Could the condition in this letter be for you to investigate the murder that happened back then?"
Old Man Ye smiled bitterly: "Although it's not, it's almost the same." Wu Yuantu meant to rehabilitate him! He said that the reason why he still refused to die was because he wanted to get back the 24 bronzes, and secondly, he wanted to die cleanly, not as a traitor and traitor!"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
Vindicated?
So listen to what it means. Wu Yuantu did not admit that he killed Tang Wentian and Tang Wentian's wife back then, nor did he bring the twenty-four bronzes to the United States.
"Hmph. In my opinion, he simply discovered his conscience in his old age. So he bought twenty-four bronzes in an attempt to cover up the fact that he had killed someone. Bai Muran snorted coldly and said.
"Lao Bai, why are you saying such things again. Old Man Ye glanced at Bai Muran a little unhappily, and then looked at everyone and said: "Things have developed to this point, old man, I can't help it, you also know that this chief attaches great importance to the return of cultural relics, he has already given a death order, and he must bring back twenty-four bronzes." This is not only the glory of the cultural relics world, but the glory of the whole country, you understand?"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhang Tianyuan again and continued: "No matter what, whether you are rehabilitated or not, it is not a matter of one sentence. Wu Yuantu also said that he would let his great-granddaughter Wu Monroe come to China to investigate the truth with our people. He doesn't want the kind of casual rehabilitation, what he wants is the truth, and what he wants is that the people in Tianjianmen are truly relieved. ”
"No wonder Old Man Ye, you have to ask me to investigate the truth of this matter, why didn't you say it earlier. If I knew this was the case, I would definitely take the initiative to accept it, but I also have one condition. After these twenty-four bronzes come back, they will be displayed in my brother Zhang's HRE Museum. "Zhang Tianyuan has no reason to do it in vain.
"Good, good. Zhang Tianyuan's HRE Museum has now become the pride of our Chinese, and it is unique in the whole world. It has been included in the list of the five major museums, even if it is not a national museum, but it can still represent our country. Old Man Ye agreed very simply.
When he said this, Zhang Tianyuan was relieved.
Whether it is Old Man Nie or Old Man Ye, as long as these two say it, it will most likely be no problem.
"Okay, as long as you say so, Old Man Ye, I will definitely do my best to investigate the matter clearly. Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said.
"Don't be happy too early, your grandfather is not young, and he can't tell when it will pass, so you must investigate this matter before he dies, the sooner the better, don't delay it for a year and a half, then it will be troublesome." Old Man Ye said again.
Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "You still don't worry about my errands, naturally it won't delay time." ”
He also wants to end this matter as soon as possible, so that he can wait for his second child to be born with peace of mind, besides, he is very concerned about the construction of the peninsula and the island of Shinra, as well as the affairs of the Black Water Country, he has been sending people to keep an eye on it, and sooner or later he will have to figure it out.
"Then there's nothing else to do today, let's disperse if we don't have it, General Ye, I still have some things to go back to deal with, so I can't continue to chat with you here." ”
Bai Muran got up and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Old Man Ye: "Old Bai, since you opened the skylight today and said something bright, you can return Tianjian to Miss Tang." ”
When these words came out, everyone looked at Bai Muran.
However, everyone didn't seem to be shocked, it seemed that this matter was reasonable, and Zhang Tianyuan and Ren Sili had also speculated that it should be the Bai family of the Jade Hall who did it, and now it seems to be true.
Old Man Ye's methods are still powerful, this matter has only happened for a while, and the results have already been found out, and he is worthy of being an old general. Zhang Tianyuan really admired it in his heart, and felt that he would have to learn from Old Man Ye's quiet skills in the future.
Bai Muran seemed to be taken aback, and suddenly looked back at Bai Fan and asked, "Did you send someone to do it?"
Bai Fan responded silently and didn't speak, in fact, he admitted it.
"Alas, look at what you have done, Tianjian is the treasure of the main hall, Tang Wentian and his wife in the main hall, and the parents of this little girl have all died tragically, and you still steal other people's relics, don't you feel sorry?" As he spoke, Bai Muran suddenly slapped Bai Fan's face, this slap was very heavy, and Bai Fan's face immediately had a red mark.
If it weren't for Bai Muran's excessive performance, then he should really be unaware.
Old Man Ye saw that Bai Muran was still going to make a move, so he hurriedly asked Zhuang Guoqiang to stop him, and then said: "This matter is now known to the people in your Tianjian Gate, I didn't tell others, and I don't plan to spread this matter, but I said the ugly things in front, stealing things is illegal, if you want to come nonsense, then even if I endure the pain, I will destroy the Tianjian Gate that I rebuilt with my own hands again!"
Bai Muran nodded with a calm face, and then said to Bai Fan: "Boy, you quickly take out the things and return them to others, I don't want to say it a second time, even if Tianjian is powerful, but my Jade Hall doesn't need that, let alone stealing chickens and dogs." ”
At this time, Bai Fan showed a wry smile.
"Grandpa, it's not that I don't bring you things, it's really gone. ”
"Gone?" asked the crowd almost at the same time.
Bai Fan nodded and said, "I let people steal the Tianjian, but before I could observe it, the things were stolen again, and even who stole them, my people didn't notice." ”
"Is it the hand of the old thief?"
"yes. ”
"How can anyone in the world steal something from the hands of an old thief? Bai Muran said in surprise.
"Grandpa, don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it much, but that's the case, the thing is gone, alas, there is no way, I will try my best to help find it, in order to compensate for Miss Tang's loss, this piece of jade pendant that I have worn since I was a child and has been for thirty years will be given to you." ”
Tang Sheng looked at the jade pendant, obviously not wanting it.
However, Zhang Tianyuan reached out and took it, because he saw that it was a pretty good jade pendant of the Han Dynasty.
Many of the living utensils of the ancients were carved from jade, and the only thing that could be worn on the body was the jade pendant. In Fanqin's poems, "beautiful jade" refers to the jade made of pei, or written as "pei". The ancients' love for jade pendants was not because of the preciousness of jade, but because of the character of jade, so there is an ancient saying that "a gentleman has no reason, and jade does not go to the body".
"Zhou Li Yuzao": "The ancient gentleman must admire jade." Tie on the left, set on the right. If you live in the house, you will wear it, and you will wear it in the court. Qi Zeqi knotted and admired. And the knights. Where there is a belt, there must be a jade, but mourning. Peiyu has a tooth punch. The gentleman has no reason, and the jade does not go to the body. The gentleman is more than Deyan. ”
"The Son of Heaven wears a white jade and a Xuanguo ribbon, the prince wears a mountain Xuanyu and Zhu a ribbon, the doctor wears a water canglia and a pure ribbon, the prince Peiyu jade and a silk weaving ribbon, Shi Pei Yu and a silk ribbon, and Confucius wears a five-inch ring and a silk ribbon. "It is to raise the jade pendant to the etiquette.
Most of the jade ornaments we see today are the products of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Han Dynasty jade pendant is a very rare thing, this thing is really a treasure.
"Hehe, cousin don't, then I want it. Zhang Tianyuan smiled, took the jade pendant in his hand and began to look at it carefully.
This jade lover, when he saw good jade, he naturally couldn't help it.
This jade pendant is engraved with a jade cicada.
Perhaps because of the long-term play, the jade pendant itself has become as if it has spirituality, smooth and smooth, and it can be seen without the use of word recognition that this is carved out of the seed jade in Hetian jade.
Don't think that Peiyu is only ancient, in fact, Peiyu has gradually become a jewelry fashion, and many people love it very much. In the jade pendant, the image of people, animals, flowers and birds, utensils and some auspicious characters and other traditional Chinese patterns are often used, with folk proverbs, auspicious words and god stories as the theme, through metaphors, analogies, puns, symbols and homophony and other expressions, constituting the artistic expression of "a sentence of auspicious words and a pattern", reflecting people's pursuit and yearning for a better life, fully embodying the essence of jade culture.
The traditional Chinese patterns in the jade pendant are rich in content and diverse in form, generally including auspicious wishes, longevity and blessings, family and prosperity, tranquility and peace, career Tengda and evil spirits and disasters, etc., among which there are many auspicious ruyi patterns.
It's just that many people now hang jade pendants directly around their necks, rather than around their waists, maybe this is also a trend.
