Chapter 8: The Phoenix Fights the Dragon
Qin Yanan's upbringing allowed her to maintain a polite posture even when she felt very ridiculous and contemptuous, but the emotion of alienation and indifference inevitably overflowed from between her eyebrows.
promised his great-grandfather to come and see him, but the young man in front of him undoubtedly disgusted him...... Disappointment does not exist, disappointment comes from expectation, Qin Yanan has never expected anything.
Pretending to be old and talking frivolously, since he knows who Qin Yanan's great-grandfather Qin Peng is, he still dares to talk about his old friend for many years, what kind of frivolity is this?
You must know that most of the people who can be called old friends with Qin Peng have passed away and are enshrined in Babao Mountain, and those who are alive are also witnesses of the stormy revolution of the Republic, and no matter how young they are, they can only call themselves children in front of Qin Peng, and these "children" constitute the core of today's Huaxia Kingdom.
Yesterday, a courier from the county sofa arrived at the Qin family's old house in the evening, and then was immediately delivered to the hands of the great-grandfather, who was one hundred and ten years old, Qin Yanan naturally wanted to take the knee down, and saw his father in the great-grandfather's study and opened the courier for him cautiously.
"The immortals caress my top, and the hair is immortalized."
Express delivery is a pair of words, and there is such a poem in it, taken from Li Bai's "After the chaos and separation, Tian'en Liuyelang reminisces about the old travel book and presents Jiangxia Taishou Liangzai".
Words are good words, Qin Yanan can see, even with her vision, she also knows that the calligrapher should be a giant in the calligraphy world, such skills are very rare among contemporary calligraphy masters, even if it is put in the entire history of calligraphy and appreciated with many masterpieces, it should not be left behind.
But obviously, her father and great-grandfather's eyes were more critical and authoritative than hers, and her father's astonishing gaze probably only bloomed when he admired the Tang Dynasty facsimile "Orchid Pavilion Prologue" in the collection of the Shonan Museum?
What can get this kind of evaluation must be that the artistic conception is extremely lofty and elegant, and there is no trace of fireworks and tackyness.
How can a layman not have fireworks? Unless the writer is an immortal.
The word was not settled, the father asked, and the great-grandfather also kept silent, and then called Qin Yanan to stay alone and order some things.
Qin Yanan felt that his great-grandfather's instructions must be related to that pair of words, so it was aimed at Liu Changan in front of him, what does Liu Changan have to do with that pair of words?
Qin Yanan never thought that the character might be Liu Chang'an's work, even if Liu Changan was born to learn calligraphy, it is impossible for him to have this skill, let alone achieve the mood and temperament embodied in the character, she thought about it and probably Liu Changan had something to do with that master, and there was no other reason for her to intersect with such an ordinary young man.
Regarding Liu Changan's "old friend" statement, the turmoil in Qin Yanan's heart calmed down, and he smiled again, "Great-grandfather gave you a gift." ”
This is one of the purposes of her visit this time, Qin Yanan pointed to the compartment of the truck.
"I have a heart. ”
Liu Changan walked into the van, and Qin Yanan squinted his eyes.
The truck compartment is very wide, to say that the area is much larger than Liu Changan's small utility room, one left and one right two rows of hanging chairs, respectively, sitting twenty heavily armed soldiers, Liu Changan and Qin Yanan walked in, twenty people got up together, staring at Liu Changan with awe-inspiring eyes.
"Everyone's done a great job. Liu Changan said casually, and then his eyes fell on the black object in the center of the carriage.
The black object in front of you is about two meters long, about one meter two wide, no more than eighty centimeters high, the texture may be bronze at first glance, what is surprising is that the whole object exudes the ancient meaning of precipitation, and the surface of the blue-green, pink brown, lotus brown, russet, yellow and white and other colors are very bright and fresh, the painted dragon, tiger, red bird and other auspicious patterns are clear and bright, as if the pen is not long.
This is a coffin, generally speaking, the word "coffin" is not a taboo word on some occasions, it means that it is promoted to make a fortune, and it is no problem to give some small gifts in the shape of a coffin for government officials, but no one will really give a big coffin like this.
"Give it to me?" Liu Changan looked at Qin Yanan and met her eyes.
Qin Yanan was paying attention to Liu Changan's reaction, she originally thought that Liu Changan would be startled by such a battle when she entered the cargo compartment, this was also her arrangement, how did she know that when she met his eyes at this moment, there was no trace of panic and reluctance, only clear doubts.
A frivolous and speculative young man with eyes that would sparkle in a dimly lit carriage.
Qin Yanan turned on the light, and several lights on the top of the carriage and around lit up, shining on the black bronze coffin, the dragon and phoenix on the top of the coffin lid were opposite, the two dragons were facing each other, and they were above the picture, the dragon body was coiled to both sides, and the tail was extended to the left and right corners, while the two phoenixes were facing away from each other, spreading their wings and wanting to fly, and biting the dragon body.
Seeing this pattern of the phoenix fluttering the dragon, Liu Changan's heart trembled slightly, the bronze coffin was extremely rare, not to mention this kind of murderous and rebellious pattern.
"Yes. "Qin Yanan is actually very curious why his great-grandfather sent such a new big coffin to Liu Chang'an, and even sent heavy troops to escort it, this specification is completely to transport treasure-level treasured antiquities, if such an escort configuration can still have an accident in China, it will be really a shocking case, so although Qin Yanan felt a little tired along the way, he didn't worry too much, "Great-grandfather said, I will stay in Junsha for a long time, you can come to me at any time if you have something, this is my business card." ”
This is where Qin Yanan is very resistant, although her parents are working in Xiangnan Province, but Qin Yanan does not have much interest in this second-tier city in central China, it is okay to reunite with her parents occasionally, but it is a little boring to stay here, and her great-grandfather has never revealed when she can return to the capital or leave here, only telling her that there is a job here waiting for her to do.
Great-grandfather vaguely meant to make her close to Liu Changan, which was what Qin Yanan couldn't stand the most, and now Qin Yanan just wanted to finish the first errand and leave.
"Looking for you?" Liu Changan took the business card and glanced at Qin Yanan again, but vaguely understood what Qin Peng meant, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, "Okay." ”
Seeing his rather disapproving smile, Qin Yanan took a deep breath, what's wrong with looking for her? He thought she was willing? He thought it wouldn't do him any good to find her?
"The problem is that I can't fit such a big coffin at home. Liu Changan walked down and pointed to the utility room where he was living.
As a young man, when he pointed out his home to a woman who might be a family of world friends, he was so depressed that he could only live in the utility room, and he didn't have a trace of shame, did he really care that Qin Yanan looked down on him, or was his skin as thick as this bronze coffin?
Qin Yanan is not a force or dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and looks down on people who are poor, but people who are poor should be self-reliant, but it doesn't matter if they are poor now, anyway, I found you, and the attitude of you solving it for me is naturally contemptible.
"This car is also given to you. Qin Yanan said, and then the twenty heavily armed warriors ran out of the car and left in line.
Only Qin Yanan and Liu Changan were left to hand over.
"Now the largest and most famous bronze coffin in the world is Zeng Yihou's coffin. Liu Changan's expression became solemn, "In fact, Zeng Yihou is just a small prince, and his nationality is unknown. The existence of more bronze coffins in history is not well known. In a certain period, a bronze coffin like this system means that a soul-sealing ceremony was held before the burial, especially the pattern of this phoenix fluttering dragon, which is of extraordinary significance. Does your great-grandfather have anything else to convey to you?"
"Isn't this an imitation craft?" Qin Yanan was a little dazed, "He only said that it was a return gift, and he hoped you could accept it." ”
In fact, Qin Peng asked Qin Yanan to tell this sentence in a more sincere and pleading manner.
"Imitation crafts?" Liu Changan smiled, it was natural that Qin Yanan didn't need to come in person to give gifts, Qin Peng probably wanted him to meet Ye Sijin's descendants, "Okay, I'll accept it...... Please tell him, I understand what he means, and I will take care of his precious great-granddaughter. ”
In an instant, Qin Yanan's cheeks flushed, blood swelled up, her fair and elegant neck seemed to be thickened by the surging qi and blood, and the twin peaks on her chest were even more undulating, making her involuntarily pull the lining to prevent the button from falling off.
"Goodbye. Qin Yanan bowed slightly and turned to leave, it was her respect for her great-grandfather that suppressed her violent emotions.
Take care of her? Is this a sentence that anyone can say! Qin Yanan will eventually find a man who will take care of himself, but it is definitely not Liu Changan.
