Chapter 813: Dean Sima's Excitement and Doubts
Chu Chen also thought deeply about Dean Sima's words, not to mention Fei Lao, no matter who it was, it was estimated that he would sigh with emotion, what kind of sin he had done in his previous life, and he actually gave birth to such a son!
Just as Chu Chen was a little curious and was about to ask Dean Sima about the details of that time, he saw Fei Lao walking out with the bag containing the guqin. Thinking that Dean Sima did not tell Fei Lao about this matter, Chu Chen could only press the doubts in his heart and kept silent.
In fact, Dean Sima said just now that although Fei Yu's big money is a foreigner, because someone in his family is a minister-level figure, his energy in the capital is relatively large. Therefore, if it was replaced by Chu Chen, Fei Yu's matter would definitely have to be sued to Fei Lao, lest the other party come back to find trouble.
But since Dean Sima decided so, he must also have his thoughts, or Fei Yu begged him not to sue Fei Lao, and it was inconvenient for Chu Chen to say anything about this.
Fei Lao walked back to his place, carefully put the bag on the table, and then said with a smile: "There is a living treasure at home, and I can only put things safely, sorry for making you wait for a long time!" ”
The two waved their hands, indicating that it was okay. However, if Chu Chen had known that the Fei family had such an unreliable son, and whether he would repair it for him, then he would have to think about it, he could believe in Fei Lao's character, but if Fei Lao's son knew that there was a priceless guqin at home, how could this guy not be tempted?
But the matter has come to this point, and Chu Chen can't say anything repentant, he can only hope that Fei Yu won't make trouble for him.
Fei Lao carefully took the guqin out of the bag, and heard Dean Sima exclaim: "The turtle pattern is broken!" ”
As soon as the words fell. Dean Sima pounced on the guqin, and it looked like a tiger pounced on food. Chu Chen, who was watching next to him, wanted to stop him, lest he break the guqin.
Fortunately, Dean Sima also knew the fragility of the guqin, although his movements were fierce, when he got close to the guqin, he stopped in time, and then he looked at the guqin in front of him for a while. In the end, with his rich experience, he judged that the tortoise pattern on this guqin was indeed naturally formed.
"Sure enough, it's a tortoise stripe. And there are plum blossoms broken, this guqin is amazing! ”
Dean Sima looked excited and admired, and then he hurriedly asked Chu Chen: "Boss Chu, I don't know if you can introduce the origin of this guqin......
"Didn't I go to Paris a while ago......"
Chu Chen smiled. I recounted what had happened. Finally, he explained: "At the beginning, I was just wondering, how in the middle of a pile of furniture, there was a very ordinary-looking guqin, and when I took it in my hand and looked closely, I found that the skin should be camouflaged. ”
"At that time, I knew that this qin should not be simple, but this guqin looked too ordinary at the time, and I was embarrassed to come down. Lucky for me, the other party gave me the piano. Otherwise, I'm going to have to talk a little more. ”
Fei Lao smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, your luck is really good!" However, thanks to your carefulness and such good luck, otherwise how could this guqin return to our country! ”
"What, Fei Lao, do you think this guqin is really around the Liangqin?" Dean Sima hurriedly asked when he heard this, just now he heard that this guqin is one of the four major guqins, and he was already dumbfounded, and now when he heard Fei Lao say this, his excited lips trembled a little.
Fei Lao shook his head and said: "I can't be sure that it is the real Liangqin, but even if it is not a real Liangqin, as a guqin that can give birth to plum blossoms and turtle patterns, I think it is at least a famous product." ”
"That's too!" Dean Sima nodded, what he said just now, he was also in a hurry, now that he thinks about it, at least with his cognition, he definitely doesn't believe that there can be a Guqin to inherit the history of two thousand good to hundred. However, even if it is a guqin that has been inherited for thousands of years, it is a precious thing, and of course this kind of thing must stay in China!
Thinking of this, Dean Sima sighed and said, "Hey, I don't know how this guqin was transmitted abroad, and after so many years, only the body of the qin is left, it's really a tyrannical thing!" ”
"There are so many reasons why cultural relics are lost abroad, so let's not talk about it!"
Fei Lao said: "As for the body left, maybe when I took it out of the country, I wanted to save trouble, so I dismantled all the accessories, but I don't know what happened later, and I didn't install the accessories." Of course, maybe it's something else. However, fortunately, only the body of the qin remains, otherwise it would not be so easy to bring the guqin back. ”
The two smiled and nodded, and then Dean Sima asked, "Fei Lao, what age do you think this guqin is?" ”
Fei Lao replied: "This is the reason why I came to you, yesterday we discussed for an afternoon, we can only be sure that the age of this guqin must be earlier than the Tang Dynasty, as for whether it is the Northern and Southern Dynasties, or an earlier era, it is unknown, this point, it is estimated that it depends on your scientific instruments to determine." ”
"It's going to be fine!" Dean Sima was a little excited when he spoke, after all, there are still only a handful of such guqins, and if they can be studied thoroughly, it should also be a big discovery in the cultural relics world.
However, after a while, he thought of something again and said, "Fei Lao, is the inscription on this qin original or engraved?" ”
"Oh! Why do you ask? Fei Lao asked.
Dean Sima explained: "It's very simple, the Liangqin is the qin of the King of Chuzhuang, and the allusion of the aftersound around the Liang is the story of "Liezi", more than 140 years after the death of the King of Chuzhuang, Liezi was born, if this inscription is the original, then this guqin must be an imitation. It's just that I don't see any traces of alteration on it, so ......"
Generally speaking, the inscription on the guqin, if it is the first engraved text, must have been engraved on the back of the qin when the zuò blank was made. The words engraved later will inevitably hurt the original lacquer tire, even if the text is painted with gold and dyed, it cannot hide the traces of destruction.
And Chu Chen's qin, on the inscription on it, looks as if it was engraved first, so Dean Sima has the current doubts.
Fei Lao explained with a smile: "There are still traces, but they are not obvious......
As he spoke, he turned the guqin over and pointed to the part of the inscription to explain.
Chu Chen also felt very ashamed of the inscription, because of the judgment of the ability, plus the inscription was engraved in gold, and the traces of the re-engraving were handled very well, so he did not expect that Liezi was born after the death of King Chuzhuang, so he took it for granted that the inscription on it was engraved first. For this reason, yesterday he also made a joke in front of everyone.
After listening to Fei Lao's explanation, Dean Sima was also very happy, after all, if it was a later engraved text, then there was still a possibility that this guqin would be genuine, even if he felt in his heart that there would be no guqin in the world that could be preserved so completely for two thousand or hundreds of years, but even if there was only one in a million possibilities, he hoped that this guqin would be genuine.
At this time, Fei Lao spoke again: "Sima, you also know my character, our public is public, private is private, since the thing is taken to you for identification, then we have to sign an agreement, what do you think?" ”
"That's as it should be!" Dean Sima nodded again and again in agreement, even if this guqin is not genuine, the guqin thousands of years ago is undoubtedly extremely precious, and there must be rules for treating such things.
"Okay, let's sign the agreement for the three of us......"
"Wait!"
Fei Lao said as he turned the guqin over and was about to put it in the bag, but at this time, Dean Sima discovered a detail.
"What's wrong?" Fei Lao asked a little strangely.
Dean Sima stepped forward again, looked at the guqin carefully, and then said with a frown:
"Don't you think this guqin is too well preserved?"
"How?" Chu Chen asked.
Dean Sima explained: "The guqin, after all, is made of wood, and it has to be played by people often, and the guqin that has been going through hundreds of years will definitely need to be repaired for various reasons." Basically every one of the famous pianos that have been handed down from generation to generation has undergone several repairs before they are rejuvenated. ”
"Now our guqin, but after thousands of years, it stands to reason that there must be traces of repair, but in this regard, I don't see it at all. Could it be that the person who repaired it before, the craftsmanship is so superb that no trace is revealed? ”
Fei Lao smiled and shook his head: "No, this guqin really has no traces of repair!" ”
"How is this possible? Could it be that there is something wrong with this guqin? Dean Sima's face was incredible.
"To be honest, we also think this is very strange, it stands to reason, not to mention more than 2,000 years, even if this guqin was made in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there will definitely be traces of repair, but it doesn't!"
Fei Lao said with emotion: "Moreover, yesterday we also had a rather unexpected discovery, this guqin is not made of paulownia wood, and even the bottom is not made of azalpa wood, and we have never seen two kinds of wood." But the lines are natural, and we are all sure that there is no possibility of fraud......"
"How is this possible!"
Dean Sima's eyes widened, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost. It is no wonder that, generally speaking, the guqin is based on paulownia wood and catalpa wood as the base, in addition to the yin and yang cooperation that the ancients said, the most important thing is that the sound quality of these two materials is the best, so many of the handed down guqin are made of these two materials.
Now Dean Sima heard that the material used in the guqin in front of him was not paulownia wood and azusa wood, so it was no wonder that he was shocked. (To be continued......)
