Chapter 576: The Originator of Sword Casting Comes Out
.., Qi Men Nong Bao
For those who like to collect bronzes, Ou Yezi's name is probably unknown to everyone. Of course, for those who are familiar with history, Ou Yezi's name is also familiar, and the people present at the moment are all cultural treasures from all over the world.
Leader in the field.
Therefore, when the old man finished speaking, these people were all shocked. The historical value of the bronze sword is already very high, and this bronze sword was actually made by Ou Yezi, so its value is incredible.
At this moment, Xu Hongming and others were all excited. Qin Fen was really amazing. He could actually get Ou Yezi's bronze sword.
"I don't believe it!" Just when everyone was shocked, Liu Wenming suddenly became heartbroken and said angrily to Qin Fen: "I don't believe this is Ou Yezi's work. Besides, there are not many bronzes handed down to the world. There are fake ones.
There are many, how can you be sure this is the real thing?! Couldn’t it be a fake?!”
"Liu Wenming, I really shame you!" At this time, Qin Fen showed a hint of displeasure on his face, thinking to himself, are all bad guys this shameless?!
"Huh, if you have the ability, you can appraise it on the spot. If it's true, I, Liu Wenming, will convince you!" Liu Wenming was really desperate this time.
Now, not only Qin Fen, but also the onlookers could not stand it anymore.
"President Liu, I think forget it, isn't it just a seat?! How about I give up our seats to you?!"
"That's right, I think this bronze sword is real, President Liu, let's forget it!"
At this time, many people had already begun to persuade Liu Wenming.
"Shut up, all of you. Don't be fooled by this kid. You don't know how he got into the position of vice president. I know very well. He clearly used deception to get Vice President Tian to make a mistake.
I won by luck!"
Liu Wenming couldn't listen to the advice at all.
At this time, the white-haired old man, who was originally full of excitement, gradually furrowed his brows, and then turned his attention to Qin Fen.
"Vice President Qin, do you know anything about bronzes?! Or how much do you know about bronze swords from the Warring States Period?!" The white-haired old man suddenly asked Qin Fen seriously.
Qin Fen was stunned again, and saw that the old man seemed to be full of expectations. He smiled at him and said respectfully: "Old sir, I am a junior in front of you, so I dare not speak big words, but this Warring States Bronze
The sword is a broken sword, I don’t know if I’m right?!”
As soon as these words came out, the white-haired old man's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately said excitedly: "Haha, Vice President Qin really has a pair of sharp eyes, and he can actually tell that this sword is a broken sword. Well, you can give it to me in front of everyone.
Tell me about the identification method of a bronze sword! My old man wants to hear it too!"
Hearing this, Qin Fen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the old man also saw that this was a broken sword?! It seems that the old man had a very unique research on bronzes or bronze swords.
Qin Fen was silent for a moment and then nodded, looking directly at Liu Wenming, and said coldly: "Since you want to be like Tian Hongwen, then I will satisfy you today. I hope you won't regret it!"
"Hmph, I want to see how much real ability you have!"
Liu Wenming was still full of disdain. In fact, at this moment, besides burning the boat, he also had another idea, that is, few bronzes were unearthed, and many were forged afterwards. Moreover, Ou Yezi's bronze swords were basically not handed down from generation to generation.
, as for those similar to Longquan, few people have seen them at all, so he is convinced that the Warring States bronze inscribed sword in Qin Fen's hand is a forgery.
"The people here today are basically experts, so I won't say much to avoid showing off. Next, I will briefly talk about a simple identification method for bronzes!"
As Qin Fen's voice fell, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, waiting for Qin Fen to start the appraisal.
"Haha, it's actually very simple. No matter how sophisticated the modern craftsmanship is, ordinary bronzes are still quite different from unearthed bronzes. The first thing is the rust."
As he spoke, Qin Fen raised the bronze sword higher so that most people could see it clearly. As expected, many people's eyes were focused on the sword.
"As long as you look closely at the rust on the fake bronzeware, you will find that it is floating on the surface, and the green rust looks very chaotic, not shiny at all, and especially looks a bit dazzling. This is basically a fake.
, and the bronzes that have been handed down look very moist!"
"Well, from this point alone, we should conclude that this is a bronze sword from the Warring States Period!"
"I don't think so!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, several people gave him mixed reviews.
"Haha, let me teach you a simple method. Poke your hands hard to heat them, then touch the bronze sword hard, and then smell anything in your hands?!"
Qin Fen chuckled lightly and smiled at the people in front of him.
After hearing this, these people hurriedly rubbed their hands vigorously. After they were heated, they shook the hilts of the bronze swords vigorously, then put them in front of their noses and smelled them carefully.
"There's no smell at all?!"
"Even so, I didn't smell it either!"
For a moment, these people frowned and said.
"That's right. If it is a forgery, everyone will smell the smell of copper. However, after so many years of precipitation, the bronzes of the Warring States Period will not have such a smell, so this is enough to prove that this bronze sword is
Undoubtedly authentic!”
Qin Fen nodded slightly, and then said seriously.
"Yes, this is indeed the real thing!"
"Um……"
After Qin Fen's simple explanation, most people agreed with Qin Fen's appraisal, but one person's face became increasingly ugly, that person was Liu Wenming.
"What you said is quite reasonable, but what if this is an imitation of something from the Warring States Period from another dynasty? How can you be so sure that it was made by Master Ou Yezi?!"
"Huh, now you are still so tough-mouthed, I really don't bother to deal with people like you anymore!"
After Qin Fen snorted coldly, he turned his eyes to the white-haired old man, and saw that the other man nodded towards him with great satisfaction.
"Liu Wenming, Vice President Qin is right. This bronze sword was indeed forged by Ou Yezi, the originator of sword making. Don't have any doubts!" At this time, the white-haired old man finally spoke, and his tone
Full of unquestionable attitude.
"Old sir, you are so sure when you say this, as if you really understand?!" Liu Wenming also didn't recognize the old man and said angrily.
"Hmph, the old man's name is Ou Chen, and he is the vice president of the Jianzhou Provincial Cultural Heritage Association. Why do you think I am so sure?!"
"Ou Chen?!"
"A descendant of Ou Yezi?!"
"Yes, it should be him. Ou Yezi's ancestral home is Jianzhou, and the Longquan swords were all made in Jianzhou."
"It seems right, it's Ou Chen, Ou Lao, a descendant of Ou Yezi. I didn't expect that even Ou Lao would show up at this seminar."
By this time, the scene had become heated again.
"Ou Chen?!" At this time, Qin Fen finally realized. No wonder Ou Chen had such a violent reaction when he saw this bronze sword just now. It turned out to be a descendant of Ou Yezi.
"It turns out it's Mr. Ou. I just had the guts to identify my ancestor's bronze sword. Please don't take offense to Mr. Ou!" Qin Fen hurriedly said, cupping his fists towards Ou Chen.
"Haha, it doesn't exist. I have to thank Vice President Qin for being able to see the works of my ancestors again!" Ou Chen chuckled and waved his hands hurriedly.
"Mr. Ou, I have long heard that there is a big shot representing this statehood. I didn't expect that it was Mr. Ou who came in person. I was blind and didn't recognize him just now. I'm really sorry."
At this time, Xu Hongming hurriedly said with cupped fists.
"President Xu, please don't say that. I'm not a big shot, I'm just an old man!" Ou Chen was quite humble.
"Ou Lao, are you sure this is the bronze sword made by Ou Yezi?!" At this time, Liu Wenming's situation was over, so he could only make a final struggle.
Hearing this, Ou Chen frowned and said with some displeasure on his face: "President Liu, are you questioning me and randomly identifying my ancestor's things?!"
"Oh...no, no..."
Seeing Ou Chen's change of expression, Liu Wenming didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly waved his hands.
To put it bluntly, he is a descendant of the originator of sword making and is a treasure of the country. If he dares to openly question Ou Chen, it will not end well for him. Especially in front of so many people, if he has a quarrel with Ou Chen
, for him, it was simply a disaster.
While they were talking, several people walked over not far away again. One of them, Qin Fen, knew that it was Qian Wen, the deputy director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage who had come to announce his appointment as the vice president of the Cultural Heritage Association.
"Mr. Ou, what a welcome!"
As soon as Qian Wen appeared, he hurriedly shook hands with Ou Chen.
"Haha, Deputy Director Qian didn't expect us to meet so soon." Ou Chen also shook hands with Qian Wen with a smile on his face.
Afterwards, the two of them exchanged pleasantries, and Qian Wen turned his attention to Qin Fen and asked with confusion on his face: "Qin Fen, where did you get this bronze inscribed sword of the Warring States Period?!"
It has calmed down now. Unexpectedly, even the deputy director of the Cultural Heritage Bureau began to pay attention to Qin Fen. This made many people who were hostile to Qin Fen have to take a second look.
"Uh... Actually, this bronze sword is really not mine!" Qin Fen frowned and said awkwardly.
"Oh?! Who does that belong to?!" Qian Wen also looked surprised.
"Haha, Mr. Zheng, please stop hiding it and come out quickly to explain. Are you letting me take the credit?!"
Qin Fen smiled awkwardly, and then cast his gaze behind the crowd not far away.
Everyone's eyes hurriedly looked towards the crowd.
"Haha, no credit for the work, this should have been handed over to the state for safekeeping!" Sure enough, as soon as Qin Fen finished speaking, Zheng Boyuan squeezed through the crowd and walked over.
"It turns out it's Mr. Zheng. Why have you been hiding behind him all this time?" Xu Hongming hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Haha, it's a great honor for me to have the honor to attend this cultural seminar. I won't come out to have any contact with leaders like you."
"Mr. Zheng, what are you talking about? Your Yun Gutang is also a treasure of our country, and your reputation is already world-renowned. Let's talk about your bronze sword!" At this time, Qian Wen also said with a kind face.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just accidentally collected it from a young man. I didn't dare to say for sure, so I asked Qin Fen to help me palm the eyes. The result turned out to be true. I immediately felt that this matter was of great importance, so I should hand it over.
Good for the country!”
"Mr. Zheng really cares about the country. On behalf of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"
As Qian Wen spoke, he directly shook hands with Zheng Boyuan.
After a moment, Qian Wen glanced at everyone and said seriously: "I just received news that Tian Hongwen, the former vice president of the Cultural Heritage Association, enriched himself during his tenure and secretly sold national cultural heritage. Now he has
He was taken away by the relevant departments for investigation. According to the confession, Liu Wenming, the president of the Beihe Cultural Heritage Association, bribed Tian Hongwen several times. Liu Wenming asked you to go to the relevant departments and accept the investigation!"
