() Lin Meiru blocked Wang Xiaoyu's hand and said: "The devil is your sister-in-law, can he be worthy of me?" Although Lin Meiru said hard, her face showed joy that was difficult for others to detect.
feeling.
Li Tianbao knew that now was not the time to argue, so he held the "bronze tripod" and placed it in front of Lin Meiru.
"How about taking a quick look at this thing?"
Lin Meiru looked at the "Bronze Cauldron" on the counter and frowned unconsciously. After a while, she opened her laptop and looked at the computer and then at the "Bronze Cauldron".
Li Tianbao was a little confused by Lin Meiru's strange appearance. He thought that Lin Meiru could quickly identify something as long as he saw it, but something was strangely wrong today! He hurriedly stepped forward and tilted his head, lying on the counter and looking at his notebook.
the content inside.
I saw a clear picture in my notebook. It was a bronze tripod that was several times newer than the one in front of me, but its shape was almost exactly the same. There were three big words marked on the picture: "Mao Gong Ding"
"What is 'Mao Gongding'?"
Before Lin Meiru could speak, a vigorous and powerful voice suddenly came from behind her: "The 'Mao Gong's Tripod' is one of the top ten treasures of the Taipei Museum."
Li Tianbao looked back and saw that this person was Yang Wanshan who had just earned the 'Bronze Cauldron' from him.
Yang Wanshan gasped and said angrily: "Young man! You are so unreasonable. I even went to withdraw the money, but you bought the things, which made me take a taxi and rush here."
Wang Xiaoyu didn't wait for Li Tianbao to speak, and said with a smile: "Old man, you just drove up prices to steal things from my brother Bao! You still dare to say that our brother Bao took things away, I think you are just looking for a fight."
After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he ran towards Yang Wanshan. When Li Tianbao saw this, he quickly stopped him.
Yang Wanshan was also a respectable intellectual. How could he withstand such a provocation when he was already angry? He said to Wang Xiaoyu: "You want to hit someone when you steal my things. I think you dare to try. I'm from the Palace Museum."
researcher."
Li Tianbao was angry at those who relied on others' power, and he looked down upon and looked down upon people like Yang Wanshan who relied on their elders and showed no respect for them.
"What bullshit researchers? You experts are like dogs peeing on the toilet, walking along the wall in the rain!"
Li Tianbao looked at Yang Wanshan, who was so angry that he was wearing only rough clothes, and continued: "If you, an old man, hadn't appeared just now, I would have got nine thousand yuan, and you said I was unreasonable, so get out of here."
Wang Xiaoyu was stunned by Li Tianbao's curse words and said: "Brother Bao, I just realized that you are ten thousand times more harsh than me when you curse."
"You brat, are you going to praise me or scold me?" Li Tianbao said, reaching out and hitting Wang Xiaoyu hard on the forehead.
When Lin Meiru heard about the Palace Museum, she immediately walked out, came to Yang Wanshan and said, "Are you Uncle Yang?"
Yang Wanshan raised his head and looked at Lin Meiru carefully, but couldn't remember who it was for a moment. He pointed at Lin Meiru and said, "You... you are..."
"'Lin Boshan', you know, that's my grandfather."
Lin Meiru's words reminded Yang Wanshan immediately, and he quickly said: "Of course I know Mr. Lin, he is half my master. It turns out you are his daughter."
"Yes, I have seen you in the photos that grandpa took before." Lin Meiru said and helped Yang Wanshan to the sofa, then brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Yang Wanshan, and asked him what was going on?
Yang Wanshan recounted what had just happened, and then asked Lin Meiru: "Daughter, how do you know such a little gangster?" Lin Meiru wanted to stop Yang Wanshan and tell him not to speak ill of Li Tianbao so as not to offend the latter.
Hun, I was busy and the house was in chaos for a while, but I still couldn't stop what I blurted out.
Wang Xiaoyu was the first to be a little intolerant and said to Yang Wanshan: "Old man, please explain to me clearly what a small gangster is. My brother Bao is a big collector."
"Let me go, the big collector doesn't even know what Mao Gong's tripod is!" Yang Wanshan looked at Li Tianbao and shook his head.
After hearing this, Li Tianbao said loudly: "I don't know what happened to Mao Gong Ding. Then tell me about Mao Gong Ding."
Yang Wanshan looked at Li Tianbao and Lin Meiru and said: "Mao Gong's tripod was unearthed in Qishan County, Shaanxi Province in the late Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. It is now stored in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan. There are 499 characters on the tripod, most of which have been preserved.
It is in good condition, the writing is rigorous, and the fonts are neat and orderly. It is different from the bold and unrestrained style of ordinary bronze inscriptions. The knots are slightly elongated and appear strong and thin, and the layout of the whole text is gentle.
The content is that in order to revitalize the Zhou Dynasty and eliminate the long-standing evils, the King of Zhou ordered his important minister Mao Gong to assist the King of Zhou loyally to avoid the disaster of the country, and gave him a large number of items. In order to be grateful to the King of Zhou, Mao Gong specially made a tripod to record it.
this matter.
In 1949, a large number of cultural relics were shipped to Taiwan. In 1965, the Taipei Museum of China was officially built. The rare treasure Mao Gong's tripod became one of the treasures of the Taipei National Palace Museum. It was placed in the most eye-catching position of the Shang and Zhou exhibition hall and will be forever
Exhibits that are not replaced.”
After hearing this, Li Tianbao only remembered that Mao Gong's tripod was one of the treasures of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and other things were secondary to him. Li Tianbao asked in surprise: "You said so much, what about Mao Gong's tripod and me?"
What does the bronze tripod have to do with it? Don’t tell me that this is the second Mao Gong tripod."
Lin Meiru replied before Yang Wanshan could speak: "What you said is basically correct. The inscriptions on this tripod are very similar to Mao Gong's tripod, and the events recorded are somewhat consistent. Except for the fact that a large number of inscriptions cannot be read clearly due to the patina.
It can be said to be the second Mao Gong Ding."
After hearing this, Wang Xiaoyu sat down on the sofa and said to Li Tianbao: "Brother Bao, although I don't know what Mao Gong Ding is, but from what they said, you have found a treasure."
Li Tianbao had seen a lot of good things, so he was not as surprised as Wang Xiaoyu, but he still asked excitedly: "How much is this thing worth?"
As soon as Li Tianbao finished speaking, Yang Wanshan glared at him and said, "This is a national cultural relic, and it cannot be measured by money."
"Bullshit cultural relics. Anything that can't be converted into money is trash. I'll use Qianlong enamel as a urinal. Believe it or not." Li Tianbao said loudly.
Yang Wanshan tilted his mouth and said, "You can't teach a child. Have you ever seen Falangcai? You are really bragging."
Li Tianbao looked at Yang Wanshan's contemptuous face and was very angry, and then said: "Damn it, if the master's bowl hadn't been changed to another yard, I would have made you a bowl of tea and let you try to see if it was too small."
My urine smells."
Wang Xiaoyu even jumped to her feet and said: "Brother Bao, you scared this old man, look at his livid face."
Lin Meiru suppressed a smile and glared at Wang Xiaoyu, then said to Yang Wanshan: "Uncle Yang, don't be like them. Although they are unforgiving, they are not bad people."
Li Tianbao felt very happy when he saw Lin Meiru speaking for him, and whispered in Lin Meiru's ear: "My wife still understands me, hehe..."
After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he quickly dodged Lin Meiru's attack and said to Yang Wanshan seriously: "Expert Yang, we still have things to do. It's time for you to get out of here."
"Of course you can leave, but I want to take this 'ding' away. Such an important cultural relic cannot be left in the hands of people like you." Yang Wanshan said righteously.
"It's easy to take things away, but you have to buy them with money." Li Tianbao said, looking up at the sky and shaking his body deliberately.
"I won't let you suffer either, 150,000!"
"Five million won't be a penny less!" Li Tianbao said loudly.
Wang Xiaoyu opened his mouth to express surprise, but Lin Meiru had no special reaction. This proved that the price of the tripod was definitely higher than five million, and if it could be repaired, it would obviously have a higher price.
Yang Wanshan was so angry that he almost jumped up. He pointed at Li Tianbao and said: "You, you..." He didn't even tell you how you were.
Li Tianbao looked at Yang Wanshan with disdain and said: "You didn't give the damn money. Do you think I don't know that the things must have come from the museum, and even if such a good thing is given directly to your museum, the bonus will probably be higher than five
Millions, but there is no such good bronze tripod in mainland China."
At this moment, Yang Wanshan had to admire Li Tianbao's cleverness. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly entered into the exciting method that this boy had given him, but the price must still be discussed!
"Although this tripod is good, most of the inscriptions on it are rusted to death. Even if it is displayed in the Palace Museum, it cannot be compared with the "Mao Gong tripod" in Taiwan. After all, the tripod is not as complete as others!"
Yang Wanshan seemed to have found a reasonable reason to bargain, and he felt happy for a moment.
"If I repair it, how much will you pay?" Li Tianbao's words were naturally upright.
Yang Wanshan smiled and said: "If it can be repaired as you said, even the bonus will be an astronomical figure."
"I don't want astronomical numbers, I want exact numbers."
"Okay, I'll give you an exact figure. If you can repair it completely, you can get at least 20 million." The reason why Yang Wanshan said such a high price was because he understood that this bronze tripod could not be achieved with modern science and technology.
repair.
"Okay, you come to me tomorrow. If the thing cannot be repaired, I will give it to you for free. But if I repair it, you must fulfill the promise of 20 million." As soon as Li Tianbao said this, Lin Meiru became interested.
They tried to stop him, but they couldn't stop the confident Li Tianbao at all.
Yang Wanshan's eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly: "Okay."
As soon as Yang Wanshan went out, Lin Meiru stepped forward and pointed at Li Tianbao's nose and cursed: "You big idiot, why are you complaining about nothing? This 'ding' cannot be repaired at all. Aren't you looking for trouble!"
Li Tianbao touched Lin Meiru's nose with his hand, and then said with a smile: "I have a secret recipe handed down from my ancestors. Of course I can fix it."
"What is the ancestral secret recipe? Why haven't I heard you mention it?" Li Tianbao knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, but he couldn't tell her the fact about "Pixiu Eyes", so he used "ancestral secret recipe" instead.
