"It's just a name. Researcher Meng is mainly academic, is it possible that he has also heard of me? Tang Yi is calm and light on the surface, but this feeling is still very useful.

Meng Xiantao looked at Tang Yi, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Actually, I know you, it's still a matter within the system." You have donated a celadon pot from the Yue kiln of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Institute of Ancient History of Shanhai University, and you have donated two volumes of Song engraving "Mr. Donglai's Poems" to the Shanhai Provincial Library. ”

After that, Meng Xiantao sighed, "It's still the local barriers that are making trouble!" ”

Meng Xiantao's meaning is naturally that Tang Yi is a native of Shanzhou, and he can donate to local units, but in the face of the Qing History Institute in Tanzhou, he refuses to sell.

Tang Yi smiled, Meng Xiantao was relatively simple compared to the oil in the antique circle.

"I can explain these two donations. The first time, because of the accident in my family, I was absent from the defense, the porcelain pot was picked up by me, I had not entered the antique circle at that time, and it was indeed messed up, so I wanted to give it to Professor Fang Chengke. Professor Fang is my mentor, he made a donation, I thought about it, this is also a foundation for me to integrate into the antique circle, so I donated. In this matter, it seems that I lost 10,000 yuan in vain, but in fact, I earned it, you should understand. ”

"The second donation, I'm not messing up, but my strength is not good. These two volumes of poetry are exactly the only two volumes in this collection of poems collected by the Tokyo Historical Museum of the Japanese Kingdom, and there are also disputes within the family of the owner, so I donated them to the library in order to protect the cultural relics from flowing out, which is an absolute guarantee of safety, and secondly, it can be regarded as expanding the network and indirectly improving the strength. ”

"I see." Meng Xiantao nodded, "It seems that you are not as high-minded as the legend says." However, in the case of what you said, it seems that the best way to go. ”

"I never expect others to think I'm high-spirited, and being worthy of my heart is my code of conduct." Tang Yi responded, "I'll talk about this character now." This is an heirloom that I have obtained through normal trading, and I only plan to collect it, not sell it, and I may build a museum for people to enjoy in the future, so I don't want to sell it. At the same time, I think it's the best way to make a replica for you to study. ”

"But the research value of this character is multifaceted, not only the superficial characters, seals, and shapes, but also the paper, mounting, and other physical historical traces." Meng Xiantao shook his head.

"You're right, but now that this thing is mine, that's all I can do." Tang Yi said, "Okay." Researcher Meng, I've been very patient, and if I continue, it's boring. ”

Meng Xiantao lowered his head, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

At the moment when Tang Yi turned around, he suddenly said, "I tell you a top-secret clue, can you sell this painting to the Qing History Institute?" ”

"Oh?" Before Tang Yi could express his position, Wen Jia seemed to be interested, "What clues?" ”

"Mr. Tang promised me before I could speak." Meng Xiantao said.

"You have to tell me at least, what kind of clue is it? If it's some theoretical discovery in the academic world, I'm not interested. Tang Yi looked at Meng Xiantao and thought that he was working in the research institute, so it shouldn't be a clue to be a heavy antique.

"It is not only an academic heavy discovery, but also a cultural relic. I haven't reported it yet. Meng Xiantao is more realistic, "However, this clue is also very slim, and it may not be verified." ”

Wen Jia smiled dumbly, "Co-authoring is a matter of chasing the wind and shadows!" ”

"It's not chasing after the wind, I can be sure, but according to the strength of ordinary people or units, it is indeed a bit difficult to trace."

Tang Yi thought for a while, "When you say that, I'm very interested." Still, I'll have to listen to you before I can make a decision. It's worth this thing, it's a matter of opinion, but if what you say is something I know, why do you think I'm going to do more? ”

"You don't know!" Meng Xiantao's eyes flickered slightly, "According to the rumors about you, you are very powerful, if you can track it down, it will be worth it if I don't report it." ”

"How do you know he doesn't?" Wen Jia became more and more disdainful, and said in her heart that Tang Yi knew the secret, and if you said one thing, it would surprise you!

"Again, I have to listen to it before I make a decision. However, I can guarantee that if I really feel the value is in place, it will be an exchange. It is not impossible that I will donate this painting to you. Tang Yi said indifferently.

This is just a painting of Heshen's words, which is not conspicuous in the treasured calligraphy and paintings of the past dynasties, and it is only because of Heshen, a special historical figure, that Tang Yi plans to collect it. If it is really a valuable clue that can be realized, it is not impossible to exchange.

Meng Xiantao originally expected Tang Yi to agree first, but Tang Yi never let go. He groaned repeatedly, and finally agreed to Tang Yi's request. After all, Tang Yi has a precedent for donation, and now that he has seen Tang Yi's eyesight, he still believes in Tang Yi's judgment and integrity.

"In this way, it's almost time to eat, I'll treat you to a meal at noon, let's talk while eating." Tang Yidao.

"I please, I please, after all, you are from out of town." Meng Xiantao hurriedly said.

"We have to find a high-grade place with a relatively closed environment, don't be polite, I believe that the clues you said will not be trivial, it depends on whether I know or not, if I know, this meal will be in vain." Tang Yi raised his hand and made a gesture of please, "Let's go." ”

When I arrived at a high-grade restaurant, I asked for the most secluded private room, and after the dishes were ready, I asked the waiter to go and close the door.

"Don't be so restrained, let's talk while eating." Tang Yi picked up the teacup, raised it to Meng Xiantao, took a sip, and then picked up the chopsticks.

Seeing this, Meng Xiantao also drank a few sips of tea and ate a few mouthfuls of food.

"This incident is the conclusion that I got a fragment of a wild history by chance, and then comprehensively compared a large number of historical materials, including the Qing Dynasty emperor's "Living Registration." Meng Xiantao put down his chopsticks and lowered his voice, "Emperor Qianlong, you may have obtained He's Bi!" ”

Tang Yi was shocked, he also found out? But on second thought, it seems that this is also possible, and the collection office is probably also a clue found by synthesizing various materials," you continued. ”

Meng Xiantao saw that Tang Yi was not shocked on the surface, and his heart sank, could it be that he also knew this?

But it was all at the beginning, and he must have to continue, he made up his mind, "However, after getting it, it was not saved, and it is likely to be lost outside the palace." At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was another incident linked to this matter. ”
