378 The Hiss of the Slashing Sword
On the second day, the four of us drove straight to the antique exhibition hall in Xicheng very early. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The day before, I had already contacted the person in charge there through the information I found through Liu Xuan'er, and I also inquired that there was indeed an ancient blade called the Slashing Sword inside.
However, when I mentioned the idea of leasing this ancient sword, the other party was not happy.
Fortunately, the other party did not refuse me directly, but said that we should go to the exhibition hall today to find him, and after meeting us, we will have further details.
The exhibition hall is not very far from our Yue's home, we set off from home at eight o'clock in the morning, and it only took half an hour to come to the Xicheng Exhibition Hall to meet the owner.
The owner of the exhibition hall is named Zhao Shengyun, an old man in his sixties, but judging from his temperament and appearance, this person is only in his early fifties, and he seems to be a person with a good attitude and knows how to concentrate and cultivate his face.
Zhao Shengyun kept smiling when he saw us, greeting us while beckoning us to walk into the museum, but when he talked to us, I noticed that there seemed to be a trace of fatigue in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes that he had not slept well for a long time.
"Maybe people are busy, so busy that they don't even have time to sleep!"
I muttered in my heart, and with doubts, I followed Zhao Shengyun with the other three into the exhibition hall.
It's not the first time I've been here for this exhibition hall, I have been here once when I was in college with some off-campus learning activities, but I was just an ordinary college student at the time, and I just came here to learn some knowledge of ancient antiquities because of the learning content.
But when I come here again today, everything in this exhibition hall is different from the beginning, and I don't know how many times this exhibition hall has been renovated in the past few years, anyway, it is much bigger than when I came here before, and there are also a lot more treasures from various dynasties and generations.
The fat man has been staring back and forth at the landscape calligraphy and paintings on both sides since he came in, and from time to time he pointed to the calligraphy and paintings and said something he knew.
"Alas, Xiaobai, look, is this picture of summer water reeds a work of a famous artist in the early Qing Dynasty?"
I looked at the splashed ink painting full of reeds, and then nodded: "It should be right, the master of the passing water is good at using splashed ink to depict the appearance of ponds or ponds, his works basically never leave the water, and only he can paint the reeds so realistically, you see the top of the reed pole swinging, special painting sound and color, although it is just a paper painting, but it can make the person who looks at the painting feel a three-dimensional feeling." ”
Zhao Shengyun on the side exclaimed: "Young Master Yue is really knowledgeable, that's right, this painting is the true work of the Master of the Passing Water, but his reputation among the descendants is not very loud, so there are not many people who know the characteristics of the Master of the Passing Water, it is rare that Young Master Yue can know such a profound thing at such an age." ”
I hurriedly waved my hand: "Yo, don't say that, I'm just an axe!" ”
Zhao Shengyun smiled slightly, then stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation to us: "Hehe, there is a tea tasting room in front, let's go inside and talk about it!" ”
I nodded and said, "I have long heard that Pavilion Master Zhao knows the essence of the tea ceremony, and today we are going to learn from you!" ”
Actually, I didn't know that Zhao Shengyun knew about tea, but when I asked Liu Xuan'er to help me check the information here yesterday, she specially told me that Zhao Shengyun likes to taste tea!
When I arrived at the tea tasting room, several people sat down as guests, and after drinking a chrysanthemum tea that Zhao Shengyun personally brewed for us, I recalled the tea fragrance in my mouth and said to Zhao Shengyun: "The owner of Zhao Pavilion is really a tea taster, just a chrysanthemum tea will make us have endless aftertaste!" ”
The fat man muttered to the side, "Cut, we didn't drink well!" ”
Zhao Shengyun didn't hear the fat man's muttering, but smiled: "Hehe, in addition to collecting all kinds of antiquities, there is only one thing left to study tea, and there are only these two hobbies in my life!" ”
After a few casual gossip, I found a gap to ask Pavilion Master Zhao about the slashing sword.
In my opinion, we've been here for so long, and it's time to get down to business, and we'll have to talk about it at the end anyway, after all, we're here for this ancient soldier.
But what I didn't expect was that my question made Zhao Shengyun show a strange expression again, and after pondering for a while, he asked me rhetorically: "Can Young Master Yue tell me the purpose of your leasing of this ancient soldier?" ”
It stands to reason that the purpose of the other party asking us is not excessive, after all, this is someone else's thing, and it is necessary to be responsible for the things in your own collection, but I ignored this question before, and I didn't think about how I should answer after the other party asked!
Xu Lu's head turned quickly, and when he saw that I hesitated, he replied: "We just want to study this blade and verify the story of this ancient soldier in ancient times!" ”
Actually, Xu Lu didn't even believe in herself, let alone the old man Zhao Pavilion Master who often dealt with people.
Besides, even if it's really for the stories that happened on the ancient soldiers, you can go directly to various ancient books to find the answers, who would borrow the ancient soldiers to study the ancient stories that don't make much sense!
Sure enough, after Xu Lu's words fell, I saw a contemptuous smile on Zhao Shengyun's face, obviously not believing the reason Xu Lu said.
Wu Zun hurriedly said on the side: "Pavilion Master Zhao, we really can't tell you our purpose, but we can guarantee that we will definitely not let this ancient soldier suffer the slightest damage!" ”
Zhao Shengyun shook his head, then waved his hand and said, "I'm not worried that you will damage this ancient soldier, but that you will be affected by the ancient soldier!" ”
"Huh~?"
Pavilion Master Zhao's words immediately aroused our curiosity, and we said what impact can an ancient weapon have on us? Could it be that the rent he asks for is too high for us to bear? But this is unlikely, after all, I am a child of a wealthy family, how much can an ancient blade cost!
Just when we were surprised by Pavilion Master Zhao's words, there were two rapid knocks on the door of the tea room, followed by a man's voice shouting outside: "Pavilion Master, are you inside, Pavilion Master?" ”
Pavilion Master Zhao changed his face instantly after hearing this inquiry and knocking on the door, and then quickly stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and said, "What's wrong!" ”
Outside the door was a young man in a black suit and a dark red tie, and at this moment, he quickly said to him after seeing the Zhao Pavilion Master here: "It has appeared again, that voice has appeared again, and this time the sound is more rapid and harsh than the previous times, do you say that it is coming back,"
Before the guy in the suit finished speaking, Pavilion Master Zhao raised his hand sharply to signal him to shut up, and then turned back to us and said, "Young Master Yue, if you really want to lease this ancient soldier, then I suggest you come with me." By the way, feel in advance what kind of impact you will encounter after renting this ancient soldier! ”
Wu Zun and I glanced at each other, and a dirty word suddenly came out of my heart: "Rub, Zhan Yimen, this bastard, I said why didn't he come to get this ancient soldier in person, and it was the ancient soldier itself that had a problem after a long time!" ”
