Chapter 203: What Is This?

The identification of bronzes is complicated, of course, too many complex scientific experiments are impossible, and the identification process is unlikely to be done here, but they have brought enough to do some preliminary identification.

It is estimated that Hu Xingwen and the others did not think of determining the age of these two swords at one time.

The whole identification process is slower, mainly because they came this time, whether it was the materials or other things they were carrying, they were coming for these two swords, so they naturally had to be the most meticulous.

Qin Mushuang had already taken the two little ones to rest, and this appraisal lasted for about 2 hours, and by the time the three of them discussed the results, it was already close to 11 o'clock in the evening.

"Xiao Qin, we now have a preliminary appraisal opinion, these two swords are very likely to be ancient swords left over from the Han Dynasty, especially this one, this is definitely the accessory of the Han Dynasty general, you said before, this sword is recorded in your family, whose accessory is it?" Hu Xingwen asked, pointing to Huo Quai's sword.

"The Great Han Hussar General Huo Quai. Qin Mubai opened his mouth and said.

"Quite possibly! Because we have seen some miniature engravings on the scabbard and on the body of the sword, on which these official positions are kept. Yu Meiling nodded immediately, and said with some excitement, "These miniature carved books are so small that they are almost invisible to the naked eye, and some can only be seen with a magnifying glass, and it is very likely that there will be other discoveries." ”

"Whether this sword is Han Xin's or not, we are not sure for the time being, but this sword is very likely to be Huo Quai's saber. Whether it is craftsmanship or manufacturing technology, this is obviously a skill during the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Professor Peng Xiang also added.

"Huo Quai, this is also one of the national heroes of our ancestors. He was only 23 years old, but he was brilliant and brilliant, and his merits were outstanding, the Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty was almost defeated by Huo Quai, if it were not for Huo Quai, the later Xiongnu developed, it is estimated that even if the Han Dynasty wanted to eliminate it, it was also powerless. Hu Xingwen said with some emotion.

"Whether it's or not, it's right to worship first. Peng Xiang immediately spoke, "This is the only one that has been handed down, one of the relics of the greatest generals of the Han Dynasty, and it is still so intact, this may be handed down from God." ”

After speaking, Peng Xiang immediately bowed respectfully to Huo Quai's sword, and Yu Meiling and Hu Xingwen did the same.

When they finished saluting and stood up straight, Qin Mubai just wanted to say something, but his face soon changed drastically, and his whole body stopped instantly.

Damn! Qin Mubai was a little frightened, because at the moment when these three people saluted, Qin Mubai suddenly felt that an inexplicable force seemed to appear in his body.

This feeling was very strange, but at that moment, Qin Mubai really felt it, as if suddenly, the power in his body had increased again. It gives a feeling of full strength.

This...... Qin Mubai subconsciously looked at the sword, why did he feel this way? Qin Mubai immediately thought of it, Huo Qubing had given him a part of his soul power at the beginning, what does this have to do with that?

"Is this Huo Quai's sword?" Tang Yin asked with some surprise.

"Yes. Qin Mubai nodded.

"Worship!" Tang Yin immediately said two words with a serious face, and directly like the three of them, he also saluted with a serious face.

It was such a etiquette that made Qin Mubai's face even more strange, and he could feel more and more that there seemed to be some new power in his body, but you have to feel it carefully, and no.

This feeling was very strange, but Qin Mubai didn't dare to be careless.

"Mr. Qin, these two swords can be sold to the Palace Museum. Hu Xingwen waited for Tang Yin to finish worshipping before turning to Qin Mubai and asking.

"Not for sale. Qin Mubai shook his head very simply, if he didn't have this feeling, Qin Mubai might still hesitate, but now, he didn't hesitate.

If he can feel like this, then Huo Qu's disease will definitely have the same impact, and this kind of influence will definitely not be a bad thing. So Qin Mubai decided not to sell it, and sold it to the Palace Museum, which may not be able to be exhibited several times a year, although there will be better protection, but it is estimated that there are not many people who see it.

But that feeling just now made Qin Mubai have an idea, although he didn't know what it was, but Qin Mubai knew that it would definitely not be a bad thing. Since it won't be a bad thing, for the sake of Lao Huo, Qin Mubai also has to keep this sword, and at this moment, Qin Mubai has a decision.

He must open a museum of his own, and when the time comes, he will put Lao Huo's sword in a separate exhibition hall for people to admire.

He didn't know what the ending would be, but all in all, he wouldn't sell the sword now.

"Why? Mr. Qin, didn't you agree to sell it to the Palace Museum?" Hu Xingwen immediately became a little anxious.

"Professor Hu, if these two swords are really as the ancestors said, they are accessories of Huo Quzhi and Han Xin, then I understand a lot, this is of great significance to us, and I can understand why the old ancestor kept these two swords so alone. Qin Mubai immediately spoke.

"And I also have an idea, I want to open a private museum by myself, and when the time comes, I will exhibit these swords and all the cultural relics of our family that have been exiled overseas, so I'm sorry, I can't sell this sword, but before my museum opens, I can lend it to the Palace Museum for exhibition, what do you think?" Qin Mubai immediately said seriously.

"Uh...... This...... Xiao Qin, don't you think about it? You don't have to worry about the price, we can go back and apply for funds, and I will give you a guarantee, no less than 100 million. Hu Xingwen gritted his teeth and said seriously.

"Professor Hu, this is not a matter of money, in fact, the ancestor of our family is Huo Quai's deputy general. Qin Mubai didn't even think about it and started making it up, anyway, there is no historical record of this thing, and it is impossible to find it.

"Adjutant General?" Hu Xingwen was stunned for a moment, "It's unlikely." There seems to be no surname Qin among the generals under Huo Quai's subordinates in the Han Dynasty. ”

"No, not the kind of general who belongs to the imperial court, but the kind that is private. Qin Mubai said very simply, isn't it just nonsense, anyway, there is no proof that this thing is dead, and no one can say wrong.

"Do you have a family tree?" Hu Xingwen immediately asked.

"I'm sorry, Professor Hu, this is not recorded, but we have passed it down orally from generation to generation. Qin Mubai said shamelessly.

"This ...... Okay, such a specific matter, we will discuss it with our superiors after we go back, and it is okay to lend it to us for exhibition first, but before that, we must first determine the identity of these two swords, and we must be 100% sure that they are indeed ancient swords of the Han Dynasty. Hu Xingwen pondered for a moment, then said directly without hesitation.

"Those paintings. Hu Xingwen pointed to the paintings that Tang Yin had just sent over there and said.

"Don't you still need further appraisal of this, let's wait for the appraisal to be confirmed, but this estimate will have to wait until I am busy for a while, and next time I guess you will have to be fully prepared. Qin Mubai smiled and said.

"Okay, then let's start preparing after we go back, Mr. Qin, you must protect these paintings. Hu Xingwen immediately said, "If this is true, this is a national treasure." ”

"I know, don't worry, by the way, there is one more thing, what you told me yesterday, Tang Yin's spring palace map, if nothing else, it seems that the real work of the spring palace picture is here with me, and the Japanese one should be fake. Qin Mubai said with a strange expression.

"Is it you? do you mean the "Merry Picture"?" Hu Xingwen's face was full of consternation.

"That's right, it's that "Merry Picture". Qin Mubai said categorically, say this first.

"Uh...... It's true. Hu Xingwen didn't know what to say for a while, "Okay, let's go back and deal with this matter, but we have to look at this painting first, I just don't know, when will we be able to identify it?" Mr. Qin, when will you be busy?"

"I don't know much about this, it is estimated that it will take a while, and I may have to go to the Netherlands in two days, so I ......," Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Okay, we'll get back in touch on that. Hu Xingwen thought about it, and it could only be like this for the time being.

After sending Hu Xingwen and them away, Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Tang Yin next to him a little speechless, "Old Tang, you are really ......"

"Hehe, Mu Bai, this gift is necessary, and if these things are left in my hands, they will be wasted, and if they are left to you, they can leave something to this world, but what you just said, do you want to open a museum, similar to what we visited before?" Tang Yin asked curiously.

"Yes, that's it. Qin Mubai immediately nodded.

"That must need a lot of money, right?" Tang Yin was immediately shocked.

"Hmm. Qin Mubai nodded, and then smiled bitterly, a museum, even if it is a small and medium-sized museum, I am afraid it is hundreds of millions to calculate, right? This is just the price of buildings and so on, if you count the expensive security...... I'm afraid this is not calculated in hundreds of millions, and not a billion is simply not enough.

"Then I'll paint you a few more pictures. Tang Yin said quickly.

"Forget it, scarcity is expensive, and more is worthless. Qin Mubai shook his head and said.

However, Tang Yin's words woke up Qin Mubai...... Otherwise...... Van Gogh? I'm hosting Van Gogh tomorrow...... Van Gogh's paintings must be expensive.
