"Regarding the whereabouts of some legendary cultural relics in Chinese history." Huang Lide said: "For example, the Jiuding that founded the Xia Dynasty, and the Sui Hou Pearl, these require a lot of information to be consulted, and more importantly, we need to combine
Make your own strong judgment based on the data. There is subjectivity, but it must be objective. This is not an easy task. Each of our conclusions must be based on evidence, because they will trigger a big discussion in the antiques world."
It sounded more challenging, especially when Huang Lide mentioned the Nine Cauldrons, the founding of the Xia Dynasty, Luo Tian became a little excited: "Okay, I agree."
"If you agree, you need to come to Beijing to sign a contract with the publishing house, and then we will officially start work. During this period, you will need to retreat for a while. I hope you can coordinate well and you don't have to rush to reply to me. Think about it overnight and tomorrow morning
Let's make sure again." Huang Lide added: "Say hello to your father for me."
"Thank you, Teacher Huang, I will definitely convey it to you." Luo Tian hung up the phone, very excited.
After going back, he discussed it with Cheng Zhen. Cheng Zhen frowned slightly: "Don't mention it for now. Did anything unusual happen to you during your two visits to the island? Based on your past, you will definitely tell me when you come back.
I wanted to tell you about the process, but I didn’t mention it last time, and I won’t say anything this time.”
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that there is nothing I don't want to say. You didn't know it when I went this time. You just participated in Master Jiu's burial ceremony at sea." Luo Tian said.
"But... why do you have scratches on your body?" Cheng Zhen was a little angry: "I discovered this injury when you came back last time."
Oops, it must have been when he climbed out of the window when he was under house arrest last time. Luo Tian touched his head: "It's okay, I just accidentally scratched it."
Cheng Zhen sighed: "You didn't tell me when you encountered danger outside. Women's sixth sense is very effective. I have a feeling that you encountered something unusual on the island. Okay, let's turn this page for now.
Go ahead, you must carefully consider what Teacher Huang said."
"I know that this publication is not simply to identify the authenticity of an antique. The reason is so simple. There are many rare treasures that have disappeared in Chinese history. Their whereabouts are a mystery. We have to give a conclusion.
, this conclusion cannot be verified. If we don’t do it well, some people will criticize us for making rash judgments, and we will have to bear a lot of responsibility." Luo Tian said: "But actively exploring these is also a trend. If we
In the process of collecting information, how about finding out the whereabouts of one or two of them? This is a huge contribution."
"Yes, not to mention there are royalties. If you first-generation and second-generation appraisers join forces, I believe there will be a market." Cheng Zhen said: "You just need to be mentally prepared. People can drown if they have too much saliva.
"
"Yeah." Luo Tian suddenly laughed: "She is so much younger than me, but she talks like a mature woman in her thirties or forties. It's really incredible."
"There are two types of women's ages. One is physiological age, which cannot be changed. The other is mental age. You don't understand this. I admit that you have nothing to say about antiques, but for
Woman, you're still a little bit behind." Cheng Zhen saw Luo Tian's body moving over: "What are you doing?"
"I just want to get to know women now." Luo Tian said seriously.
…
Luo Tian happily agreed to cooperate with Huang Lide, and the contract was immediately sent from the largest publishing house in Beijing. After Luo Tian confirmed that it was correct, he signed, stamped, and couriered it. Now it is just the preliminary confirmation of the cooperation, and the next step is
It's been a tough time.
Taking advantage of this gap, Luo Tian arranged and coordinated the work. Luo Tian originally planned to take Cheng Zhen to Beijing with him. Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhen has now become the backbone of the company. Once she leaves, the company will be leaderless. Luo Tian
I had no choice but to pack my luggage and go there alone. I thought that the work would be done in the courtyard of Teacher Huang's house. With my wife and Gao Yuanyuan there, I wouldn't have anything to worry about.
Without Cheng Zhen accompanying him, Ouyang Tian unexpectedly went to Beijing with Luo Tian. When asked why, he actually missed Beijing. It had been six years since he came out, because he didn't want to be in the whirlpool of the antique world again. Ouyang Tian
I chose to continue to remain anonymous, but there are some things that cannot be buried no matter what. For example, the passion for antiques. It is impossible for a fanatical collector to extinguish the fire of passion for antiques in his heart. Ouyang Tian also has other things during this trip.
One purpose is to see Feitian.
Feitian, who lost his father in childhood, now lives alone. After he was released from prison, he found out that his wife had remarried with their children. After living with his mother for five years, his mother also passed away. Feitian became a complete loner. Now he is alone.
People's lives are quite comfortable, at least they have enough to eat and drink. If they work for the Cultural Relics Bureau a few times a year and help museums a few times, they can make a fortune. They are nominally consultants, but Feitian scorns this title.
I am a reform-through-labor prisoner, and this mark has been stamped on me. Everyone who knows about it knows that, consultant?
The arrival of Ouyang Tian and Luo Tian made him very happy. Feitian dug out Nv Hong, who had been buried for more than ten years, from the yard. Although Feitian lived alone, he cleaned up very neatly. Nv Hong's Chunxiang made the three of them happy.
It was almost drooling. Feitian worked hard and prepared several dishes to go with the wine. The three of them sat around the square table in the yard and drank with gusto. Luo Tian and Ouyang Tian's drinking capacity
They are all average. Feitian has been a wine drinker for many years. While drinking, he exclaimed: "Good wine!"
"You are still the same as before. How many times have I told you not to drink on an empty stomach, as it will hurt your stomach." Ouyang Tian glanced at Feitian sideways: "You are getting more confused as you get older. You clearly know the consequences, but you just don't listen.
."
"Anyway, I'm already riddled with holes. I've lived for such a long time and I don't have many years left to live. Of course I have to drink enough to make up for it." After Feitian finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp: "It's a pleasure.
!”
Luo Tian couldn't help laughing, this Feitian was really an old naughty boy.
"By the way, how long will you stay here this time?" Feitian looked at Ouyang Tian and said, "As for you, you might as well just stay with me and let him go read some books with Lao Huang."
"That's what I planned." Ouyang Tian said: "I haven't been back for a long time. This time I come, I also want to have a good look at the previous place. How about just the two of us?"
"No problem." Feitian suddenly said: "This Huang Li De, he still doesn't know how to stop even after he is a long time. What is the mystery of the antiques lost in history? In fact, there is no mystery, it is just two different things, or it has disappeared forever from this world.
Or sleep underground, this is the answer, and we are still discussing it, discussing it is nonsense, if a book like this is published, will anyone buy it?"
Luo Tian was a little embarrassed. He was now one of the members, but Feitian's words made sense. There were only two endings for these undiscoverable cultural relics.
