After the bank transaction, Zhao Yue got the bronze head of the sheep, and after leaving the bank, Cowell couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhao, is this really your family's rented heirloom?" ”

Zhao Yue smiled: "Is there a difference now?" You've got your money, and now it's mine! ”

Cowell smiled awkwardly, shook hands with Zhao Yue, walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi and left. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Ding saw that no outsiders were present and asked, "Dad, what are you going to do with this thing?" ”

Zhao Yue said: "Let's find a hotel room first, and break the mud tire on this thing!" ”

The three of them walked to the car and were about to get into the car, when a car drove over and stopped next to it, and an old man in his sixties showed his face and shouted: "Yun Yao! ”

Zhou Yunyao walked over and shouted, "Grandpa!" ”

The car door was opened, and Zhou Yunyao's grandfather stepped out of the car and asked with a smile, "Yun Yao!" Why don't you tell your grandfather? ”

Zhou Yunyao's tender face instantly turned red, she lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes with her fingers, and introduced in a low voice: "This is my classmate Zhao Ding, this is Zhao Ding's father here!" Uncle, this is my grandfather, Dong Jingxian, the curator of the Cultural Relics Museum! ”

Zhao Yue hurriedly said: "Oh, it turned out to be Yun Yao's grandfather, hello Director Dong!" I'm Zhao Yue! ”

Zhao Ding also felt embarrassed, and shouted: "Hello grandpa!" ”

"Hahaha, your kid's mouth is quite sweet!" Dong Jing praised Zhao Ding first, then reached out and shook Zhao Yue's hand, and said with a smile: "I heard my daughter say a few days ago that her granddaughter was a little wrong during this time, and it turned out that she was in love!" All right! It's good to be young, my granddaughter's vision is very high, she can be good for Ling Lang, that already shows that Ling Lang is good enough! ”

Zhao Yue smiled: "Don't praise him like this, if you praise him again, he will have his tail up to the sky!" ”

Dong Jingxian shook his head and said: "This is not an old man praising him, in fact, he is very good, it is very remarkable that he can identify this dusty national treasure on the stall!" ”

Zhao Yue suddenly realized, after a long time, the two children had already told Dong Jingxian the news, so he said: "Dong Lao, if you are not in a hurry, let's find a teahouse and talk about it, right?" ”

Dong Jingxian immediately agreed, he originally came for something, if Zhao Yue didn't say this, he would also bring it up to talk about it in detail.

The four of them found a teahouse nearby, and after sitting down, Zhao Yue said to Zhao Ding: "You go find a few newspapers and come over!" ”

Zhao Ding said: "Oh, okay! ”

After Zhao Ding left, Dong Jing first asked, "Mr. Zhao, are you really sure that this thing is Weiyang?" ”

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "I didn't see it before, and I'm not sure, but after seeing it, I can basically be sure!" It's the real thing! You can see that this mud tire was wrapped up later, but its shape has remained in its original shape, and the hole under the base still shows red copper, and its composition is the same as the few pieces that have been recovered! ”

Dong Jing touched his white beard first, frowned tightly and said, "It shouldn't be!" After the Old Summer Palace was burned down, all these things were looted overseas, how could it appear in China? And it's wrapped in a layer of mud tires? ”

Zhao Yue took a sip of the teacup and said: "What is the specific reason, I'm afraid no one knows, but one thing is certain, the twelve copper heads will not be taken away by one person, and one person can't bring so much, the weight of this thing is not light, that is to say, these twelve bronze heads were taken away by many people, as for whether these people all went back in the end, it is not very clear, why was it wrapped in a layer of mud?" I guess it is likely that a patriotic collector found this thing seventy or eighty years ago and wanted to donate it to the political axe, but the political axe at that time was chaotic, and once this thing was donated, it was likely that it could not be preserved, so I thought of this method of outsourcing the mud tire to hide it, hoping that when the peace and prosperity came, some connoisseurs could find it! If you want to know why it is in the country, you can actually go to the vendor who sells it and ask him where he got it."

"Makes sense!" Dong Jingxian nodded and said, "I don't know if Mr. Zhao is free today?" If you have time, why don't we go to Fanjiayuan and find that vendor? Figured out what happened? ”

Zhao Yue smiled: "Since you have spoken, Elder Dong, I just have to go no matter how busy I am!" Otherwise, if you mutter a few words in front of your granddaughter, then my son will have to bear it! ”

"Hahaha!" Dong Jing laughed first, and then said, "Mr. Zhao is really funny!" And Zhou Yunyao sat on the side, her face turned red, and her expression was very shy.

It didn't take long for Zhao Ding to come back with a stack of newspapers, Zhao Yue picked up the sheep's head and said, "Spread the newspaper on the ground!" ”

Zhao Ding and Zhou Yunyao hurriedly spread the newspaper on the ground, and then Zhao Yue put the sheep's head on the newspaper, but his hand did not leave the sheep's head, only heard a slight "click" sound, and then, cracks began to slowly appear on the mud tire wrapped around the sheep's head, and after a minute, the cracks covered the entire mud tire, and the debris of the mud tire began to slide off slowly.

Dong Jingxian and Zhou Yunyao were dumbfounded, thinking to themselves what kind of means this is? Let's not say that these cracks are very uniform, let's just say that to break this mud tire is not something that ordinary people's hands can do.

It didn't take long for all the mud tires to turn into a pile of plaster and pile up on the base of the sheep's head, and then the sheep's head revealed its true face. The copper it uses is an alloy copper specially refined for the court, containing many precious metals, deep color, containing fine light, and not corroding after wind and rain, which can be called a must. The casting is finely finished, and the surface is also carved with fine chiseling, such as the animal fluff and other subtleties are chiseled and forged, clear and realistic, and the nose, eyes, ears and other key parts and the nose and neck folds are very delicate, without a trace of sloppiness, showing a very high level of craftsmanship.

Dong Jing first took out a magnifying glass and observed it for a long time before muttering: "This is true, this is it, this is it!" Finally got one back! ”

From the 1,500 US dollars of the 1985 horse head statue to the 1,400 million euros of the rat head and the rabbit head bronze statue, in 24 years, the bronze statue of the beast head of the Old Summer Palace has risen 12,000 times.

Dong Jingxian felt a little bit of emotion, took out a brush from the toolbox he carried, and said, "Xiao Ding, come, move the sheep's head to the table!" ”

Zhao Ding hurriedly said: "Oh, okay! ”

Zhou Yunyao immediately took away the tea set, wiped the table clean and spread the newspaper, and Zhao Ding gently put the sheep's head on the table.

Dong Jingxian began to gently brush the sheep's head with a brush, and the mud attached to the sheep's head was gradually cleaned up, the sheep's head exuded a deep metallic luster, the hair and sheep's whiskers were clearly visible, very delicate, and the level of craftsmanship was at its peak.

The old guy brushed for half an hour, and the action of each brush was very slow, and the strength was consistent, and Zhao Ding and Zhou Yunyao were almost impatient.

After finishing the brush, Dong Jing put away the brush first, and then took out a magnifying glass to observe carefully, and after more than ten minutes, he put down the magnifying glass and breathed a sigh of relief, put magnifying Jing into his pocket and said to Zhao Yue: "Mr. Zhao, the old man has a reluctant request!" I don't know if to talk about it or not? ”

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Elder Dong, please speak!" ”

Dong Jing hesitated for a moment, but still said slowly: "I want to ask Mr. Zhao to sell this sheep head to our museum!" ”

Zhao Yue groaned: "If you sell it to the museum, it's really hard to make a price!" You also know that the rat's head was auctioned for 14 million euros, and the museum is afraid that it can't come up with that much money, right? ”

Dong Jingxian said embarrassedly: "This ......." He was very embarrassed, his original intention was to let Zhao Yue sell to the museum first, and when he said this, he wanted Zhao Yue to be embarrassed to ask for money and donate it directly to the imperial court, who knew that Zhao Yue didn't seem to have any awareness of this at all, and directly said that the museum couldn't afford it, which made his little careful thinking completely useless.

Zhao Ding said beside him: "Dad, are you really ready to sell for money?" Besides, who in the country can come up with so much money to buy it? It's just that some people have this spare money, but they don't dare to buy it! Besides, there are provisions in the Cultural Relics Law that such a national treasure must be handed over to the imperial court."

Zhao Yue almost jumped in anger when he heard his son's words, is this still his own son? actually helped this outsider pit his father! His eyes widened and he said, "You go and read the cultural relics law carefully!" What must be handed over to the imperial court is a newly unearthed ownerless cultural relic, like this I spent money to buy is my personal own! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, okay? I usually ask you to read more, but now I make this kind of joke, if according to you, then the antiques collected by collectors are all from the imperial court? If the court wants to take it away, take it away? ”

"This!" Zhao Ding was speechless when asked, his face turned red, he didn't take this layer into account, and he was reprimanded by his father, so he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Dong Jingxian smiled to resolve the embarrassment: "Xiaoding, what your father said is right, the Cultural Relics Management Law stipulates that the unearthed cultural relics must be handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court allows private collection of cultural relics. The relevant departments will award honorary certificates. If the donated cultural relics have made major discoveries or major contributions to national historical and archaeological research, they will be given certain rewards according to the research results and value, which are both spiritual and material (including bonuses). The level of the donated cultural relics needs to be issued by an authoritative department. However, no matter what level of cultural relics they are, they are donated to the state free of charge. However, the national law allows individuals to collect cultural relics, and will never require that cultural relics collected by individuals must be handed over."
