Chapter 362: A very famous short sword
"That's right, Wang Guan ......"
After flipping through the two pages of ancient books, Zhang Lao raised his head and said: "That Doucai chicken bowl cup, it is not very clear on the phone, you can talk about it in detail now.!"
"Well, that's right."
Qin Lao nodded and said, "Looking at the photos, there is always a layer apart, it would be good if you took the real thing back." ”
"It's in the hands of a foreign collector, and he doesn't want to sell it, and it's not good for me to spend money to buy it." Wang Guan said helplessly: "And foreigners don't know Mr. Zhu Da, and he may not believe it when he says it, so he can only take pictures." ”
"That's just as well." Tian Lao said with a smile: "Wang Guan has confirmed it, what else is there to doubt." I know a friend in Seattle who has asked him to help me find out the situation, and I should get back in two days. I would like to hear the details of Wang Guan's journey now. ”
"Yes, yes, yes......" Zhang Lao smiled, looked at Wang Guan and said: "With your luck, if you go abroad, in addition to this guqin, you should also encounter other good things." ”
"I know that."
At the right time, Yu Feibai said enviously: "When he was in Singapore, he met Tang Yin's crow array diagram, but two!" ”
"Tang Yin's Crow Formation Diagram?"
"In the legend, Tang Yin hung the painting at home, and there were thousands of crows hovering on the roof, as if they were fighting, which can be called a wonderful crow formation?"
All of a sudden, Qin Lao and the others hurriedly asked.
"But how can there be two?"
At the same time, Zhang Lao also had some questions: "One true and one fake, or two imitations?" ”
"Elder Zhang. You wouldn't have imagined that both paintings are real. Yu Feibai said with a smile, just waiting for someone to refute him, and then reveal the answer.
However, the so-called old people become fine, how can a few old people be so easily fooled. After glancing at each other, the tea drinker drank tea. Flipping the book, the demeanor is calm and very calm.
Now. It was Yu Feibai's turn to be stunned, and he asked puzzledly: "Those are two authentic paintings, aren't you curious?" ”
"I must have seen it wrong." Tian Lao said indifferently: "Otherwise, where would there be two authentic paintings." ”
"What are two 'authentic paintings'?" Bai Lao waved his hand and said, "Once." I've even seen a collector who has a room full of the same 'authentic works' and proudly flaunts them to me. ”
"Hehe, guess wrong."
Yu Feibai clapped his hands and laughed: "When Wang Guan told me about this, I also laughed at him like this. I think he must have looked away, otherwise how could there be two authentic paintings......"
"Don't say it, it can really happen." Zhang Lao said thoughtfully: "Maybe Tang Yin drew two crow formations. ”
"It's not impossible, but it's too unlikely." Qin Lao shook his head and said, "It's not very likely, it can be completely ruled out." ”
"The world is full of wonders. No matter how small the odds are. Just because we can't meet it doesn't mean that others can't meet it. ”
Tian Lao smiled and said: "Especially for a person like Wang Guan, who is deeply blessed, let alone two authentic paintings, even if it is three or four, I ...... Take it with a pinch of salt. ”
A few old people next to him thought so. If this happens to others, they will certainly not believe it. But if the so-called others are replaced by Wang Guan, then they have to have a little more psychology that they would rather believe what they have than what they don't have.
"Did you bring anything back?"
Zhang Lao asked directly: "Whether it's true or not, at least let us see it before we can be sure." ”
"It's not mine."
This time. Wang Guan said with a smile: "Moreover, the matter is not as mysterious as Feibai said, it is just a genuine handiwork, which was uncovered and divided into two parts, and then reframed into two paintings." ”
"Eh, how did you say that?" Yu Feibai complained a little, and then said with a smile: "That's right, it's just to unveil the painting, you didn't expect it." ”
"Unmasking?" A few elderly people were indeed very surprised.
"It turned out to be a painting." Zhang Lao reacted and said with interest: "Wang Guan, how are you sure?" ”
"The shade of ink, and the fit of the two paintings......" Wang Guan talked eloquently, after all, with the right answer, it is very simple to push the process back.
Everyone listened and nodded frequently.
At the end, Zhang Lao sighed lightly: "Such a thing can also be called a rare treasure, but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see it." ”
"Tang Yin's crow formation diagram belongs to someone else, so if you can't get it back, forget it. But there was a treasure in hand, and he actually gave it to others, which made me feel sorry for him. Yu Feibai shook his head and said, still thinking about the Malay Krix.
"What baby?" Zhang Lao and others were very interested.
"It's just a knife." Wang Guan wrote lightly: "The knife of the locals was cast. ”
"Don't say it so simply, that's a Malaykris, a treasure knife that has been passed down for hundreds of years." Yu Feibai shouted: "Categorical, sharp weapon, very practical, ornamental, and collectible." ”
"A sword from abroad?" Zhang Lao and others are also a little confused, and it is estimated that in addition to the legendary swords and swords in the history of their country, they don't know much about foreign cold weapons.
"Malaykris, cast with meteoric iron, has delicate ......ornamentation on the surface," Yu Feibai described, but unfortunately because there was no physical object, Zhang Lao and others naturally lacked an intuitive sense of identity.
"It's just a foreign knife, if you sell it, you sell it, it's not a big deal."
Therefore, Zhang Lao said disappreliantly: "If you like this kind of thing, I can give you a handful." ”
"Elder Zhang, do you also have a collection of horse blades?" Yu Feibai was very surprised: "I haven't heard you say it." ”
"I don't have any Malay blades, but I do have a few swords from my country." Zhang Lao smiled, turned around and left the living room, and soon returned with a square box more than thirty centimeters long.
"So short, is it a dagger?" Yu Feibai guessed.
"It's not a dagger, it's a sword." Zhang Lao said with a smile: "Very famous short sword. ”
"Gladius!" When Yu Feibai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Could it be the fish intestines of the thorns?" ”
"How is that possible?" Zhang Lao smiled bitterly, and then glared at him, and said bluntly: "If I have such a treasure, how can I be willing to give it to you." ”
"Hehe......"
Several old people laughed, especially Tian Lao, who couldn't help but quip: "Zhang Dacang also has a stingy time, it's rare." But then again, the things you brought should also be big road goods, fooling people. ”
"What a big road goods, although I can't call it a rare treasure, but it's relatively rare." As he spoke, Zhang Lao opened the box and took out a short sword.
At this time, Wang Guan looked closer curiously, and saw that the short sword was straight in shape, and the surface was full of ancient atmosphere. In addition, in the position of the hilt of the sword, it seems that the text is inscribed.
"Principal Jiang Zhongzheng!" Yu Feibai looked at it, and said with some surprise: "Zhongzheng Sword!" ”
"That's right, it's the Zhongzheng Sword." Zhang Lao said with a smile: "It is also called the soul of a soldier, Chengren Sword." Of course, there is also a nasty name, which is called the Suicide Sword. ”
"It turned out to be the Zhongzheng Sword." Yu Feibai said, seemingly a little disapproving.
"What, can't you see it?" Zhang Lao asked.
"No, of course I like what Mr. Zhang gave me." Yu Feibai said with a smile, and hurriedly picked up the Zhongzheng Sword, looking like he couldn't put it down.
"Boy, put away your little thoughts." Zhang Lao scolded with a smile: "Is it that this thing is too recent, and it is very widespread and worthless, so it is not eye-catching." ”
"How could it be ......" Yu Feibai smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed.
"Feibai, don't take this thing lightly." Qin Lao said with a smile: "You must know that the early Zhongzheng Sword is something that only Huangpu students, powerful generals and meritorious personnel are qualified to give. At that time, it was a symbol of glory, and even the senior generals who had studied at the Whampoa Military Academy had very few people who got this sword. ”
"Let's put it this way, the people who got this sword at the beginning were all Jiang Gong's Huangpu lineage, or local powerful factions. It was only later, especially after the Anti-Japanese War, that out of the need to appease people's hearts, Jiang Gong started a large wholesale. Bai Lao added: "It is said that it is conservatively estimated that in those few years, the number of Zhongzheng swords donated exceeded one million, so it was flooded. ”
"However, the one Lao Zhang has on hand should be a high-end product." Tian Lao smiled and said: "Otherwise, he won't collect it, and he is even more embarrassed to give it away." ”
"Hehe, it's still Lao Tian who has insight."
Zhang Lao said with a smile: "This Zhongzheng sword, but back then, my old leader personally captured a high-ranking general and got this sword from him." Later, after the old leader retired, he gave me this sword. ”
When Yu Feibai heard this, he hurriedly pushed it up: "Old Zhang, I don't dare to ask for such a commemorative thing." ”
"What don't you dare to ask for." Zhang Lao glared and said, "What, are you still disgusted that things are worthless?" ”
"No, no, no......" Yu Feibai hurriedly shook his head.
"If you don't, just take it."
At the same time, Zhang Lao took out another Zhongzheng sword in the box and handed it to Wang Guan, and said with a smile: "This thing is a bit overflowing, but there are also benefits to a large number, just one for one person." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
Learning from Yu Feibai's lesson, Wang Guan did not shirk it, and accepted it generously.
After picking up the Zhongzheng Sword, Wang Guan was curious and compared, and found that the shape of the two Zhongzheng Swords was about the same, and the length was about twenty-five centimeters. But in terms of details, there are subtle differences. is like the Zhongzheng sword in Yu Feibai's hand, the text on the hilt of the sword was given by the principal Jiang Zhongzheng, but his hand was taught by the principal Jiang Zhongzheng.
In addition, even the ornamentation on the scabbard is also different from each other, so I will not exhaust it.
"Phew!"
After looking at it for a moment, Wang Guan slowly pulled the sword out of its sheath, only to see that the blade had lost its former sharpness and brightness, and had become a little dull. However, there is a clumsy atmosphere of the vicissitudes of time, which has a unique charm.
"Success, Chengren."
Standing up the sword, Wang Guan immediately saw a few words on the sword.
"If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent." Zhang Lao smiled and explained: "The purpose of Jiang Gong's awarding of the Zhongzheng Sword was to make his subordinates die for him, and when he failed, he used this sword to commit suicide to repay his kindness for his knowledge......
