Chapter 399 (Second Watch~)
"It's all war horses?" Xue Lao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he found that there was no soldier in the warehouse.
Meng Yong nodded: "Last time we went to buy, there were only war horse merceans, but the ones that came out later were soldier mercelots, but they were just ......."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew in their hearts that most of them were that the truth or falsehood of the war horse mercenary here had not yet been resolved, and the soldier mercenary didn't dare to think about it for the time being.
Xue Lao walked directly towards the war horse maid placed in the middle, which seemed to be relatively well preserved, followed by Gu Ming and Song Yao.
"This War Horse Servant is the first one we acquired, and the rest of the ones we bought after making sure that there is no problem with this one." Meng Yong introduced to Xue Lao.
"All your acquisitions are here?" Xue Lao asked.
"It's all here." Meng Yong replied.
Gu Ming looked around again, the war horse maids in the warehouse were actually not very many, she secretly counted them, there were about a dozen, but she didn't know what the purchase price was, if the price was very high......
Xue Lao didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out the magnifying glass he was carrying, and carefully observed the war horse maid.
To be honest, Gu Ming really doesn't know much about the Terracotta Warriors, she just followed Professor Wang to visit the museum before, and she didn't have any in-depth research on it.
On the contrary, although Song Yao doesn't know much about the Terracotta Warriors, he knows at least a little more than Gu Ming, and Song Lao has a friend who likes to study the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. When she was a child, she went to the other party's house with Song Lao to be a guest a few times, and she was still quite impressed by the soldiers and horses.
It's just that she hasn't studied it in depth after all, and all she knows is some superficial things, so she naturally doesn't dare to speak casually in front of so many experts, lest she say something wrong and let others see the joke. ()
Xue Lao looked at it for a while before stopping, he didn't say anything immediately, but asked Gu Ming and Song Yao to come forward to observe.
Gu Ming and Song Yao got Xue Lao's instructions, and immediately stepped forward, each taking out their magnifying glasses and looking at them.
In order to exercise herself, Gu Ming did not immediately stretch out her left hand to touch the Terracotta Army, but carefully looked at it from beginning to end. At the same time, I kept recalling the words that Professor Wang said when he introduced the Terracotta Warriors and Horses when he visited the museum before.
The war horse in front of him showed the color of white and gray after being oxidized by the air, only a little painting could be faintly seen in some places, and the whole war horse looked quite mighty, and the horse's mouth was slightly open, as if it was neighing. With a bit of murderous aura, his demeanor is very realistic. The top of the horse's head is pointed, and the upper part of the horse's face is flattened. It seems to be slightly different from the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang that Gu Ming saw in the museum.
When Gu Ming and Song Yao stepped forward to observe the war horse merchant, Meng Yong couldn't wait to ask Xue Lao: "Xue Lao, do you think this war horse mercenary is real?" ”
"On what basis do you judge that it is true?" Xue Lao didn't answer the rhetorical question.
When Meng Yong heard Xue Lao ask, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Could it be that there is really something wrong with this war horse maid?
Even though he was very nervous in his heart, Meng Yong could only try to keep his tone calm and said: "At that time, we had a long discussion about the age of this war horse maid. Whether it belongs to the war horse of the Qin Shi Huang period or the war horse of the Han Dynasty is somewhat uncertain, you also know that the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Shi Huang period have different expressions, basically can not find the same terracotta warriors, we acquired this batch of war horse mercenaries also obviously echo this, each war horse mercenary is different. In the end, we determined according to the clay used to make the war horse maids, which were made of gray pottery, which was in line with the characteristics of the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Shi Huang period. ”
"So you're judging that it belongs to the Qin Shi Huang period?" Xue Lao asked again.
"Yes." Meng Yong nodded.
In fact, he also knew that this statement was a little far-fetched, but it was not him who was the main person who bought this batch of war horse maids, but the person in charge before him, and the person in charge at that time was also anxious to make some achievements and be promoted. After learning that there were terracotta warriors and horses on the market, he only made a rough appraisal and did not do more inspections before making the decision to buy them.
It's just that during the acquisition, the previous person in charge was successfully promoted and left, leaving Meng Yong to take over the next link. Meng Yong has always been cautious. Before making a decision, the matter will be carefully analyzed, otherwise the second batch of terracotta warriors and horses will not be vigorously blocked when the second batch of terracotta warriors and horses flow out of the market. And there are doubts about the authenticity of the first batch of terracotta warriors.
This can not be caused by his carelessness, the purchase of terracotta warriors and horses is not a small amount, after a period of time the central government will send people down to check, if there is any problem at that time, the first unlucky is him, and the person in charge who has been promoted and left will probably have to be implicated in this.
Paper can't contain the fire, rather than being sent down by the people sent down by the above to find out that something is wrong, it is better for them to act first, and if they really find out that there is a problem, they can report it in time and strive for leniency.
When Xue Lao and Meng Yong were talking, Gu Ming and Song Yao did not stop observing the war horse maids, but they both paid some attention to Xue Lao and Meng Yong.
Where Meng Yong said just now, Gu Ming also noticed that these war horse maids were indeed made of gray pottery, and the Qin Terracotta Warriors belonged to gray pottery.
Compared with red pottery, gray pottery is hard, and the courtyard houses in the capital of the Celestial Empire are all covered with gray bricks. Gray pottery is added to the process to increase its hardness. This process is in the final stage of firing, splashing water and smoulding, so that the pottery becomes harder. The terracotta warriors and horses are all fired with gray pottery, which is a miracle in the history of ceramics of the Celestial Empire. We still have a certain degree of difficulty in firing such a large terracotta army with today's technology.
The existing terracotta figurines found during the excavation process still retained bright colors when they were first unearthed, but after being unearthed due to oxidation by oxygen, the color disappeared instantly in less than ten seconds and turned into white ash, and now only the remaining traces of painting can be seen. The war horse maid in front of Gu Ming left this kind of trace.
Merely......
The more Gu Ming looked at the appearance of this war horse, the more strange he felt, and there was always something that seemed wrong.
After roughly observing the war horse maid, the strange feeling in Gu Ming's heart never disappeared, this war horse maid looked very imposing, judging from the characteristics of all aspects she knew, it did seem to be true.
She glanced at Xue Lao, who was standing not far away with a slight frown, talking to Meng Yong, and finally gently put her left hand on top of the war horse maid.
"Don't touch it!" Song Yao noticed Gu Ming's movements and immediately shouted.
Her voice immediately attracted the attention of others, and everyone looked in the direction of Gu Ming and Song Yao.
"What's wrong?" Xue Lao turned his head and looked at Song Yao and Gu Ming suspiciously.
Gu Ming retracted her hand as soon as Song Yao shouted, so everyone didn't find anything wrong when they looked over
"Just now Gu Ming wanted to touch the war horse maid, I was afraid that it would damage the war horse maid, so I ...... it in a hurry" Song Yao showed a slightly apologetic smile to everyone.
Meng Yong's mind turned quickly, and he immediately waved his hand at Song Yao and said, "It's okay, we all touched it when we appraised it, and it wasn't bad, and some things really didn't work if they didn't get started." ”
After speaking, he also glanced at Xue Lao, and saw that there was no dissatisfaction in Xue Lao's eyes, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Lao is famous for his short love, they are asking for Xue Lao at this time, but it is not like the relationship with Xue Lao is stiff on this, not to mention that Xue Lao also touched it when he observed the war horse maid just now, if he said that he couldn't touch it at this time, wouldn't he even say it to Xue Lao?
It's really strange, didn't Song Yao see Xue Lao get started just now, otherwise how could he say such a thing?
This time, Meng Yong guessed correctly, Song Yao really didn't notice that Xue Lao had touched the war horse maid in front of him. When Xue Lao touched the war horse maid, his back was facing everyone, Meng Yong and Gu Ming saw Xue Lao's movements, but Song Yao was standing at the wrong angle, so they couldn't see Xue Lao's movements at all. Xue Lao only touched it lightly at that time, and then withdrew his hand, and never made similar movements again.
Song Yao only smiled when she heard Meng Yong's words, and didn't say anything more. And Gu Ming just glanced at Song Yao, and then looked away.
Anyway, she and Song Yao didn't match, and she didn't bother to care whether the other party was really in a hurry or fake, and she already had the answer in her heart for that little touch just now.
Although just now because of Song Yao's voice, her hand touched the war horse maid and took it back, but just a little time was enough, her left hand did not feel any heat when she touched the war horse maid, and there was no joyful feeling in her heart, let alone any voice from the bottom of her heart.
All this fully shows that this war horse maid is a fake, an absolute modern imitation.
However, this imitation is quite good, and it has deceived the eyes of so many people!
She couldn't help but look in the direction of Xue Lao, I don't know what Xue Lao's judgment is about this war horse maid, has she seen that this war horse maid is actually fake?
Xue Lao noticed Gu Ming's slightly worried gaze, his heart softened for no reason, he beckoned to Gu Ming, and unconsciously slowed down a little and asked Gu Ming, "After watching it for so long, do you have any opinions on this war horse maid?" ”
