Chapter 159: Knife and Copper Furnace
Xu Yilin smiled, "It looks like it's really an antique, I just said it casually at the time." I didn't expect it to look very new, but it was hundreds of years old. There are some stories about the origin. ”
Tang Yi explained a few words, "Antiques, sometimes they look bright and new, but they are old things, sometimes they feel dilapidated and old, but they have only been made for a few days." The knife was supposed to have come from the court and had been passed down in an orderly manner, so it was normal for it to be so well preserved. ”
"You're really right, the person who gave me this knife specializes in collecting bronzes." Xu Yilin briefly introduced the process of getting this knife.
It turned out that a year ago, Shanhai Metropolis Daily held a cultural charm of the Chinese tour, Xu Yilin went to Chang'an City, the provincial governor of Western Shaanxi Province, for an interview and met an old gentleman. Mr. Lao is a special consultant of the Xishan Provincial Museum and a collector of bronzes.
During the interview, the old gentleman heard that Xu Yilin was from Shanhai Province, so he said something.
The old gentleman's hometown is not in Chang'an, it is a remote county in Western Shaanxi Province. When he was young, it was a time of war, and his only sister at that time married far away in Shanhai Province. At that time, the war was chaotic, and the communication was extremely backward, so there was no contact since, and there was no news since.
Later, the old gentleman settled in Chang'an City, and the relatives in his hometown also passed away and left. The old gentleman heard that Xu Yilin was working at Shanhai Metropolis Daily, so he asked her to help see if he could find his sister.
After Xu Yilin returned to Shanhai Province, she wrote a report on this matter, and linked it with the Xishan Evening News to launch a large collection of clues to find people. As a result, the old gentleman's sister is not only alive, but also in Shanzhou City, and the brother and sister finally meet again after decades apart.
The brother and sister hugged their heads and cried, the scene was deeply moving, and a group of reports ended perfectly. Xu Yilin also won a Shanhai Provincial News Award for this group of reports.
The old gentleman was an authentic person, and when he came to Shanzhou to meet his sister, he also brought a gift to Xu Yilin.
Needless to say, it's this embroidered spring knife.
However, the old gentleman's main direction of attack is bronze, so his understanding of this object is also relatively vague, he can judge that it is an official knife in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is very beautiful, so he thinks it is very suitable to give it to a beautiful reporter like Xu Yilin.
Xu Yilin resolutely refused at first, but the old gentleman insisted on giving it, and almost turned his face, and in desperation, Xu Yilin had to accept the gift. Because I don't understand, I just put it on hold.
"Didn't the old gentleman say how he got this knife?" Tang Yi asked.
Xu Yilin said, "I pushed each other against him for a while, and he really said that he bought this knife in the eighties of the last century, when he was on a business trip in Guangdong Province." It only cost a dozen dollars at the time. ”
"At that time, more than a dozen yuan was a lot, and pork was only a few cents a pound." Tang Yi nodded, thinking to himself, the box containing the lid of the copper incense burner was also from Guangdong Province, and it seemed that it might be related to Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Copper furnace ······
"I said, Reporter Xu, can you lend me this knife for a few days?" Tang Yi thought for a while, and finally said.
"Want? I'll give it to you..."Xu Yilin said, "To be honest, it's useless for me to keep it, and the sword will be given to the hero..."
Tang Yi moved his shoulders, "Come on, I'm still a hero, if it weren't for your help behind my back, I would have almost been beaten into a bear..."
Xu Yilin couldn't help laughing, "You have a lot of eyes, you also installed a camera in that pot of green plants, and you also think that Wang Tie is not good, but he didn't expose it..."
"It's not just Wang Tie's business here, there are many ways." Tang Yi pointed to the big schoolbag, "The copper incense burner in here is probably being targeted." ”
Xu Yilin looked at Tang Yi and seemed a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask further, but said, "If you need my help in the future, just ask, we are about the same age, don't always call me Reporter Xu, just call me Yilin." It's really useless for me to keep this knife, and you don't have to be polite. ”
"Okay." Tang Yi smiled, "That's it, I'll take it back and study it first, and then I'll talk about it after I finish researching, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Okay, whatever you want." Xu Yilin responded happily.
"Well, I really have to go. Thank you so much today..."Tang Yi got up and said.
"I just have to go back to the newspaper office, I want to cross the antique street, don't take a detour, I'll drive you." Xu Yilin said and walked straight to the door.
Tang Yi saw that Xu Yilin was not polite, so he didn't refuse. As he went downstairs, he thought to himself that he had obtained his driver's license when he was in college, and it was really inconvenient to not have a car, so he had to plan to buy a car.
Before getting into the car, Tang Yi put the big schoolbag and jujube box into the trunk. At this moment, the copper furnace of the knife actually gathered, although Tang Yi was not sure whether this knife was the "knife" referred to in the inscription on the furnace cover?
Xu Yilin's car is a red horse six, which is a very popular model, but the license plate number is mountain A666YL, the two letters are obviously the abbreviation of Xu Yilin's name, and it is obviously not possible for ordinary people to shoot three six, "I heard her call the director Uncle Hu, it must have a lot to do with it." Tang Yi said secretly.
When Xu Yilin drove to the antique street, he insisted on taking a small road, so that he could park on the side of the road at the east exit of the antique street, Tang Yilian shouted "don't bother", but he still didn't stop Xu Yilin.
Just as he was driving out of this small intersection, Xu Yilin was turning his head to talk to Tang Yi, when suddenly there was an "ouch" sound from the front of the car...
Hit someone?
And listening to the voice, it seems to be the voice of an old man...
Xu Yilin secretly shouted, if he really hit the old man, it would be a big trouble, stop immediately.
In front of the car, there was an old man lying on the ground, looking to be in his 70s, with gray hair, thin black stripes, and wrinkles on his face. At this time, the old man was about to sit up.
"Old man, are you alright?" Tang Yi quickly got out of the car and stepped forward to help the old man. Xu Yilin's speed was not as fast as Tang Yi's, but she quickly walked up to the old man, "You slowly move your body to try it, see if you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?" ”
The old man's clothes were old, but they were clean, "It's fine." The old man patted the dirt on his body and stood up, "Rub it gently, my body bones are quite tough..."
"Are you really okay?" Xu Yilin asked again.
"I'm old, how big can I be? Even if it returns to the West, it will not be a few years away. "The old man laughed dryly, Li'er is such a reason, but it sounds very uncomfortable.
Seeing that the old man had taken two steps and his body was moving freely, Xu Yilin took out a business card and handed it to the old man, "In this way, if there is something, you can call me..."
The old man took the business card, but he didn't look at it, he bent down and picked up an old canvas bag on the ground, accompanied by a slight rattle, "I'm fine, but this thing, there's a big deal..."
