Chapter 187: Visiting the Museum
"Yes, it's worth celebrating. In the years when the righteous inkstone disappeared, we have never given up searching. Today, when Xiaoyou Fang brought this inkstone, I didn't care about it. When I finally found the handwriting on the inkstone, my heart was filled with shock. No matter how I thought about it, I would never have thought that Yue Fei's righteous inkstone would be hidden, and it was so crude." After hearing Mr. Chu's words, Mr. Wang said with emotion.
Mr. Chu smiled, "That's when you haven't seen Xiaoyou find a baby with your own eyes. Every year, the appearance of the baby is unaware of it, but in the end, every piece is a priceless treasure."
The Venus Dragon Inkstone was originally just a city brick, but below it was Mi Fu's inkstone hidden, and Su Dongpo's text was also written on it. It was not just the inscription of the inkstone. The magic of the Venus Dragon Inkstone itself was enough to be called a priceless treasure, and it also directly shows that the magical production craftsmanship in ancient times was more powerful than modern times.
Even though he witnessed Fang You's experience of discovering some treasures one by one, he couldn't help but sigh at the mystery of this experience.
Following a group of porcelain counterfeiters, they came to their factory together, but they found the priceless Yue Fei's righteous inkstone, which was a bit incredible.
I'm afraid that no antique collector will have any favors to counterfeiters. It is precisely because of the appearance of counterfeiters that some of them have been deceived and have been cheated of a lot of money.
If they find these people in the museum, they will never think about following them and then going to the factory of these people. They will call the police directly.
Only Fang You was asked to catch all these fake gangs in one go, thinking of going to see the factory where porcelain fraud was counterfeited. Only then did he discover the righteous inkstone hidden in it. This is luck, but it is also something that will inevitably happen.
"Old Chu, you didn't let Xiaoyou Fang come to Tianjing before, but now you know you're wrong. If Xiaoyou Fang hadn't come to Tianjing, how could you have discovered the righteous inkstone hidden in Tianjing?" Old Wang couldn't help but say to Old Chu in complaining.
He was also glad that he invited Fang You here. Otherwise, he would not have seen the world of righteous inkstone.
"Haha, Lao Wang, you are gloating like this again. Believe it or not, I will let Xiaoyou come back now. You will see Zhengqiyan first, but you can't see those antiques." Hearing Mr. Wang's complaints, Mr. Chu said with a faint smile.
Mr. Wang immediately glanced at Fang You. He was really guessed by this kid. "Old Chu, Brother Chu, don't interfere, I absolutely have no intention. It's not easy for Xiaoyou Fang to come to Tianjing. He would have to let him stay for a few more days and stroll around. What if he finds other precious antiques again? Do you think so?"
"Just just kidding, it's scaring you. I'll leave everything Xiaoyou has in Tianjing to you. If something happens, you're just asking." Old Wang's anxious look made Old Chu smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Lao Chu, with me here, Xiaoyou Fang is safe. By the way, you don't plan to come to Tianjing anymore. This is a righteous inkstone. The righteous inkstone we have been waiting for for a long time, you don't even take a look." After Wang promised, he asked in confusion. He gave everything Fang You had in Tianjing to him, which naturally means that Old Chu doesn't plan to come to Tianjing anymore.
Old Chu smiled and nodded, "Indeed, Zhengqi Inkstone is the antique we have been waiting for for a long time, but I still have some things to deal with now, so I don't have to worry about it for a while. Although I really want to see Zhengqi Inkstone now, after these few days, after Xiaoyou comes back, I can hold this Zhengqi Inkstone in my arms every day, but I am much happier than you, haha." At the end, Boss Chu laughed.
"I'm gloating, I think you're gloating. I'll ask Xiaoyou Fang to stay here for a few more days, and I'll be anxious to death." Old Wang said with a dark face and full of resentment.
Mr. Chu was right. He could see this righteous inkstone for a short time, but once Fang You returned to Wuyang, these antiques would definitely be placed in Mr. Chu for safety, so that they could really hold them to him even when they were sleeping.
"Old Wang is angry, haha, okay, I won't say much. Remember to take good care of these antiques from Xiaoyou, and there is no mistake." Old Chu smiled and finally said.
Mr. Wang snorted, "You have the help to teach me. I am a member of the Palace Museum. The antiques I maintain every day can circle the city of Tianjing." After joking with each other a few more words, the two hung up the phone.
"My friend Fang, you are not authentic, you always sprinkle salt on my wounds." Old Wang looked at Fang You and said helplessly.
Fang You smiled immediately, "Old Wang, my master has a famous temper. If you don't provoke him, you won't be sprinkled with salt."
"My friend Fang, you... it turns out that the master and the apprentice are in harmony." Hearing Fang You's words, Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, and then could only smile helplessly.
While speaking, Old Wang looked at the righteous inkstone in his hand again. Sometimes when something stays by a person for a long time, he will unconsciously bring some of the aura of this person.
For example, the jade seal used by the Emperor Nine Five, you can feel the strong majestic aura brought on the jade seal just by just a glance.
This inkstone was originally used by Yue Fei, but was later obtained by Xie Fangde and Wen Tianxiang. Both of them regarded this inkstone as life. The righteousness of the three heroes forged with their lives also appeared on this inkstone.
When they talk about the beliefs and righteousness in their hearts towards this inkstone, that breath will be accepted by the object unconsciously, and then slowly subtly transformed, so that it can emit a breath that is exactly the same as the master.
The three national heroes fought for the survival of the country until the last moment, and even faced threats and temptations, they did not lower their heads or give up their integrity. They also possessed these things on this inkstone.
Even if you don’t see the words, you can feel the strong righteousness on this inkstone. This righteousness can touch the depths of people’s hearts.
"Justic Inkstone, those who participate in the antique collection exchange meeting should be blessed to see the righteous inkstone that have disappeared for decades." Mr. Wang said with a smile. When he organized this exchange meeting, some people rejected him on the grounds that their collection was too precious to come to Tianjing. He could imagine how many people would regret it when this Zheng Inkstone and other antiques from Fang You appeared.
Their regret will continue until Fang You's museum is opened. In the eyes of Mr. Wang, those precious antiques are the best destination. Otherwise, if they are placed in the hands of others, they will only be left to shelves and will not be seen by outsiders.
The greatest significance of antiques is to let the people understand ancient humanities and the affairs of some famous ancient figures through these things. The righteous inkstone is the best representative. Through the righteous inkstone, you can recall the stories of Yue Fei and the other three, and you can feel the strong righteousness that appears on it.
Although this righteousness cannot make people turn back into justice, it is enough to awaken the forgotten justice and the disappeared blood in the hearts of some people.
"Old Wang, it is a good thing that can make more people feel the righteousness that Yue Fei has in the inkstone of righteousness," Fang You said with a smile. If he had just obtained the escape technique before, he would have collected some of his antiques and not allowed others to see them, but with continuous learning and progress, he knew the true meaning of antiques.
It is precisely because of the treasures of some ancient people who cherished them that some magical craftsmanship disappeared in the long river of history. These antiques are precious treasures left over from history and can only be watched by themselves. In his opinion, it is very boring. It is a meaningful thing to be seen by more people.
"Mr. Fang, you are right. The legendary sentence is indeed true. Wherever you are, there will be no miracles. Haha, by the way, Mr. Fang, where did you bring the antiques from Wuyang be placed? I really want to see the magic of those antiques now." Old Wang said with a smile, and then asked with some anticipation.
He has never seen many of the antiques that Fang You found before, but he has heard some old friends talk about the magic of these antiques. Now Fang You has come to Tianjing and has personally witnessed the birth of Zhengqi Inkstone. He really can't help but want to take a look at other antiques.
"Old Wang, my antiques are very safe in the hotel. You don't have to worry. As for watching, it's better to wait for the antique exchange meeting in two days. If you watch them now, it will be boring at that time." Fang You smiled and did not agree to Mr. Wang's request.
Mr. Wang smiled and pointed at Fang You, "You kid has done a good job in confidentiality. OK, I will wait for the exchange meeting in two days to see it. However, you will leave this Zhengqi inkstone with me in the past two days. I will study it carefully and make a detailed data statistics on the inkstone. When the Zhengqi inkstone was lost, there was only a simple rubbing and there was no other information. Now we can't make mistakes in the past."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, let's put Zhengqi inks in your place first." Fang You smiled, without any objection.
"Okay, it's getting late now. In order to let Zhengqi Inkstone see the light of day again, we spent more than an hour. I'm really hungry. Let's take you to have a big meal." Old Wang smiled and looked at the Zhengqi Inkstone in his hand. He wanted to put it on his body, but after thinking about it, he opened the safe in the room, put it in the cabinet, and then locked it tightly.
Fang You looked at these actions and smiled slightly. He had already inputted a gray airflow into the inkstone. Even if the inkstone was stolen, he could sense its location as long as it was still in Tianjing City.
Afterwards, Fang You followed Wang Lao to wander around the museum. After walking for a few minutes, he arrived at a remote palace where many people were wearing museum work clothes. At the door, there were also some security personnel guarding them to prevent outsiders from entering.
When he saw Mr. Wang, some people greeted him with respect. Mr. Wang nodded and then pulled Fang You all the way to a hall.
Looking at the cafeteria that was like a university, Fang You was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Mr. Wang, "Old Wang, what you said about treating me to a big meal is here."
"That's of course, the working meals in the museum are four dishes and one soup, and they are the chefs of the star-rated hotel. This is not a big meal. Fang Xiaoyou, you must be thrifty and not wasteful. If you don't think you are not an outsider, I wouldn't bring you here. Give it, this is a meal ticket, and you can get as much as you eat." Old Wang looked back at Fang You, and then said earnestly.
Fang You smiled helplessly, "Okay, Mr. Wang, I'll try the taste of this big meal."
He did not dislike these meals, but the momentum of Mr. Wang's invitation to him for a big meal was too great, which made him mistakenly think that Mr. Wang would take him directly to the five-star hotel. Who knew that after a long walk around and came to the museum canteen, it was too unacceptable.
With the meal tickets, Fang You came to the tableware, took a rice plate, followed others in line and made a little rice. Then he went to the window directly in front to get the four dishes and one soup that Mr. Wang said.
After looking at the food, I looked good, including braised beef, spicy chicken diced rice. The vegetarian dishes were scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the other was braised eggplant. The last soup was millet porridge.
He smelled a little fragrance. I don’t know how it tasted. Fang You smiled, nodded at the chef who was making the meal, expressed his gratitude, and then turned around and walked to the seat, looking for Mr. Wang’s figure.
"My friend Fang, here." Mr. Wang said hello to Fang You in one of the positions, looking at his appearance. It seemed that he had already prepared the meal. I don't know if he was going to the back path or because he had been familiar with it for a long time.
The staff of the surrounding museums, when they heard Mr. Wang’s shouting, turned their heads and looked at Fang You.
But Old Wang glanced at the eyes of his elder brother, all of them lowered their heads and ate the food in front of him seriously, while wondering who this young man was and why Old Wang was so enthusiastic about him.
You should know that Mr. Wang is very strict in the museum. If there is any mistake, he will inevitably scold him mercilessly. These staff members understand in their hearts that Mr. Wang is a typical person who regards antiques as life. If the antiques are damaged due to mistakes, that is the most intolerable thing he cannot tolerate.
Fang You smiled, then walked to the opposite side of Mr. Wang and sat down. Looking at Mr. Wang's four dishes and one soup, he looked very delicious, he couldn't help but feel respectful.
Mr. Wang is the main person in charge of the museum, but he is eating the same meal here with ordinary staff, which may be something others dare not imagine.
Nowadays, people from some enterprises and institutions use public funds to eat and drink, and eat whatever they are rare and nourish. For example, Mr. Wang has a very high status, but there are very few people with such a style.
"My friend Fang, let's see what I'm doing. Let's eat. Today's food is very good." Seeing Fang You's gaze, Mr. Wang raised his head and said with a smile.
Fang You smiled slightly, then picked up the chopsticks and started to taste it slowly. It smelled very fragrant, and the same was true for him. During the days he went out, most of the time he went to and from star hotels.
The food in the museum canteen is not inferior to that in these hotels, but the price is the difference between heaven and earth.
Judging from the price of these four dishes and one soup, it costs no more than ten yuan. Fang You immediately smiled and lived a good life in the museum.
Seeing Fang You eating very well, Old Wang nodded with a smile on his face, inside and outside. Although he knew a lot about Fang You, he had little contact with him. Except for arguing about Xu Mengyun when he was a disciple, he never had any contact.
"Old Wang, when I come to the museum tomorrow, I will bring you a surprise." Fang You said to Old Wang with a smile while having a meal.
"Oh, surprise, did you bring your antiques over? For me, this is the biggest surprise." Old Wang raised his head and said with some joy.
Fang You showed a mysterious smile on his face, "Hehe, Mr. Wang, keep it confidential for the time being, but strictly speaking, the thing I brought is also within the scope of antiques, it's just that I can't play with it."
"If you can't play, what is that?" Old Wang asked in confusion. Antiques are just to be able to play with, but if you can't play, what kind of antiques are this?
"You will know tomorrow, and I will ensure that you will be satisfied." Fang You smiled. Mr. Wang spent so much time to help him repair Yue Fei's righteous inkstone. He would even give some Huadian wine to reward Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang did not force it and said with some expectations: "Then I am looking forward to what kind of surprise you will bring me tomorrow. Let's go and after dinner, I will take you to the museum."
Fang You nodded and ate the food on the plate. After eating, he followed Mr. Wang to wander in the museum.
Fang You had already seen the porcelain exhibition hall. Next, the first place they went to was the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall. Each painting was discussed. Both of them had to discuss it. Mr. Wang first raised the questions, which meant to discuss it, and also had the meaning of examining Fang You.
The calligraphy and painting exhibition hall is located in the Wuying Hall of the Imperial Palace. The Wuying Hall was also a place related to calligraphy and painting in ancient times. The highest number of calligraphy and painting exhibition halls is more than 140,000 cultural relics, accounting for one-quarter of the Chinese calligraphy and painting in public museums in the world.
The most precious ones are the Picture of the Goddess of Luo River and the Picture of the Qingming River, which is well known to all Chinese people. Some of the calligraphy and paintings are already outstanding and lonely, while others are listed as cultural relics that are forbidden to be exhibited outside.
This is also to protect the safety of cultural relics. Cultural relics are too precious and are too dangerous to go abroad for exhibitions. Some criminals may use any means to steal these cultural relics.
Sometimes in museums, there are various defense measures and can be stolen by some big thieves, not to mention China and other countries.
