Chapter 933: Patriotism

Regarding the origin of the chicken head and the snake head, Moffett also asked just now, Qin Guanxi was fooled, and now Jiang Shi asked again, Qin Guanxi naturally would not tell Jiang Shi about the Golden Triangle.

"Senior, you don't need to ask how things came about, you just need to tell me whether these two things are real or fake."

"Things are naturally real." Jiang Shi's tone is as firm as ever, the firm antique industry is Jiang Shi's job, Jiang Shi has been enriching the antique appraisal work for decades, plus Jiang Shi has spent a lot of time studying the twelve bronze heads in the Old Summer Palace, naturally he will not be wrong with the chicken head and the snake head.

"Really." Qin Guanxi said with a pleasant smile: "Since the Jiang seniors have said that it is true, then this chicken head and snake head are naturally true, this thing was obtained by me unintentionally, and I couldn't tell the truth from the fake when I got them, and now I will be relieved to prove that they are real." ”

Jiang Shi stared at the chicken head and snake head with deep eyes, Qin Guanxi didn't tell him the source of the chicken head and snake head Jiang Shi didn't think it was strange, after all, like such a priceless national treasure, Qin Guanxi must have a shady story if he was able to get them.

The source of the chicken head and the snake head Jiang Shi didn't ask, Jiang Shi was most concerned about the whereabouts of the chicken head and the snake head now.

As we all know, the 12 bronze heads of the Old Summer Palace are precious cultural relics in China, which are of great significance to the study of history and enhance national pride.

But Jiang Shi is not a three-year-old or two-year-old child, he knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and even if something as important as a chicken head and a snake head can return to the arms of Huaxia, it will take a lot of twists and turns.

Jiang Shi lowered his head and pondered for a while, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but these thoughts had only one purpose in the end, that is, he must return the chicken head and snake head to the country and hand them over to the museum for preservation.

"Mr. Qin, I won't tell you, the old man is also looking for the whereabouts of the zodiac all his life, this zodiac is my Chinese treasure, if it is measured by money, it is too cheesy, but if Mr. agrees, I can apply for funds to buy this chicken head and snake head, you can rest assured, the price is negotiable, and it will definitely not be lower than the price of other copper heads auctioned abroad."

Foreign auction houses have also auctioned the rest of the 12 zodiac bronze heads in the Old Summer Palace, according to Qin Guanxi's knowledge, the auction price of those copper heads is not less than 100 million Chinese coins, Director Jiang will spend a lot of money to buy chicken heads and snake heads, which shows Jiang Shi's fanatical love for the 12 zodiac signs and his enthusiasm for the return of Chinese cultural relics to China.

"Director Jiang, you also said just now that the special significance of chicken heads and snake heads to Huaxia cannot be measured with money, and it is cheesy to talk about money."

"What does that sir mean, you don't plan to sell these chicken heads and snake heads?!" Jiang Shi was anxious, the old man lifted his sleeves, and regardless of his image of knowledge, he jumped up and said impatiently: "Xiaoyou, I see that you are also a Chinese person, as a Chinese person, you should also understand the significance of the chicken head and snake head to China, you can't give full play to their value if you keep these two national treasures, if you need money, you don't need to take it to a foreign auction house to auction, as long as you make a bid, the old man will definitely be able to meet your requirements!" ”

Qin Guanxi shook his head and smiled when he saw Jiang Shi's impatience, and said: "Director Jiang, you have always misunderstood, I mean, I plan to donate the head of the chicken and the head of the snake to the Capital Museum for the world to enjoy, as for the matter of money, you must not mention it again, if I exchange the shame of China for money, am I still human?" Even if I die, I won't have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors underground. ”

The bronze head of the zodiac was plundered by the British and French forces, and the snake head and the chicken head are the witnesses of the Chinese national humiliation, the national humiliation needs to be kept in mind, and Qin Guanxi cannot use the national humiliation as a tool to make money.

"Xiaoyou, what did you just say?!" If Jiang Shi was in a hurry before, then he is shocked now, Jiang Shi thought he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly said: "You just said ....."

"That's right, you heard it right, I just said that I want to contribute the chicken head and snake head to the Capital Museum for free, not a penny."

Qin Guanxi spoke loudly, and the words rang heavily in the hearts of several people like an alarm bell.

"Little friend, ..... you" Jiang Shi was speechless, he stared straight at Qin Guanxi's eyes, from those bright eyes, Jiang Shi saw a warm blood and a strong patriotism.

"Xiaoyou, on behalf of Huaxia, on behalf of the Capital Museum, on behalf of myself, thank you!" Jiang Shiren has an old heart, but he doesn't rely on the old and sells the old, saying that, Jiang Shi actually bent down to bow to Qin Guanxi.

"Old-timers, this can't be helped." Qin Guanxi hurriedly took a step back and dodged Jiang Shi's bow, Qin Guanxi held Jiang Shi's arm, shook his head and smiled: "Aren't you old people breaking my life, if I accept your old worship, others will definitely poke my backbone, besides, I am also a Chinese person, and it is my duty to get the Huaxia national treasure and return it to Huaxia, so why should you thank me when you are old?" ”

"One yard to one yard, you deserve to be worshiped by me for donating such a valuable thing to the country for free." Jiang Shi didn't care what Qin Guanxi said, he bowed his head and bowed.

"This old man, why don't we listen to persuasion?" Qin Guanxi secretly discussed to himself, Jiang Shi wanted to bow to him, but Qin Guanxi couldn't accept his bow, the young man didn't have the reason to let the younger and older people bow, this bow, Qin Guanxi couldn't stand it.

Qin Guanxi took a step back again, Jiang Shi bowed again, Qin Guanxi helped Jiang Shi up again, and said helplessly: "Senior, let me say it again, it is within my duty to contribute the head of the chicken and the head of the snake to the country, you don't have to thank me, if you really want to thank me, do me a favor..."

"What's the matter, just open your mouth, as long as the old man can do it, I will never say anything."

seemed to be moved by Qin Guanxi's sincerity and patriotism, Jiang Shi almost patted his chest to reassure Qin Guanxi.

"Senior, I want to ask you to help me take a long look and see something."

"Something, something, is it an antique?" Jiang Shi suddenly became interested and asked with a smile.

Long eyes is the jargon in the antique shop, which means that people who understand this business help others to identify the authenticity and value of antiques.

Jiang Shi has been engaged in the antique business for decades, and he has seen antiques for others no less than a thousand times in his life, so the identification of antiques is a trivial matter for Jiang Shi.

What especially made Jiang Shi curious was what Qin Guanxi needed him to identify, Jiang Shi secretly guessed that no matter what it was, it must be a good thing of great value, and its value should be no less than the head of a chicken and a snake.

Qin Guanxi heard that Jiang Shi agreed to help him without even being stunned, and his heart was suddenly happy, Qin Guanxi reached out and took out the half-cold and half-hot bronze mirror from his arms and handed it to Jiang Shi, and said with a smile: "Senior, please show me what is the source of this bronze mirror, and what is the story?" ”

"Bring it, I'll take a look." Jiang Shi showed curiosity and took the bronze mirror handed to him by Qin Guanxi.

The side of the hand happened to be the hot side of the yin-yang mirror, and the hot feeling spread from the mirror to Jiang Shi's palm, and Jiang Shi's hand shook and subconsciously threw the mirror out.

Qin Guanxi had been observing Jiang Shi and the Yin-Yang Mirror, and when the mirror was thrown out of Jiang Shi's hand, Qin Guanxi hurriedly caught the mirror.

"Senior, it's my negligence, I forgot to tell you, this mirror is weird, one side is as cold as ice, and the other side is like boiling water, which shocked you."

Qin Guanxi put the yin-yang mirror on the table, took out a silk cloth from the wooden box containing the head of the chicken and the head of the snake, and covered it on the yin-yang mirror.

"Strange, really strange." Jiang Shi muttered, and Jiang Shi, who was obsessed with antiquities, waved his hand and hurriedly approached the desk, his eyes close to the yin-yang mirror and looked carefully.

The yin-yang mirror is divided into two sides, according to Qin Guanxi, the front is hot, the back is cold, this is not an ordinary ancient bronze mirror.

"I have also seen a lot of bronze mirrors, the ancient Chinese bronze mirrors are used for the purpose of sorting out people's instruments, but the bronze mirrors have the courage to punish the evil and promote the good, so the ancient Chinese bronze mirrors are decorated with gorgeous decorations, the carvings are beautiful, and this bronze mirror is simple and unpretentious, the front and rear mirrors are smooth and nothing, it seems ordinary but it is also hot and cold, it should be a famous treasure."

The moment Jiang Shi saw the antique, his eyes couldn't be pulled off the yin-yang mirror, and when he spoke, Jiang Shi didn't care about the worry of being burned by the yin-yang mirror, raised his arm and touched the mirror again.

"Elder Jiang, be careful, this mirror is weird." Moffett, who also paid attention to this ginger stone, subconsciously reminded him.

"No problem." Jiang Shi waved his hand and said: "But this kind of magical thing has been used by people many years ago, and the people at that time were not burned by the mirror, and the people now will not either, as long as you are careful, it will be fine." ”

"The face of the mirror intersects with heat and cold, and there is no font on the mirror but let it come from, if I estimate it is correct, this mirror should not be a copper mirror, but is made of special minerals that are uniquely formed by nature, a few years ago the ancients made a mirror, although I don't know what the mirror does, but the mirror is a beautiful thing in ancient times, and this copper mirror should also symbolize the good wishes of the ancients."

Although Jiang Shi's analysis did not fully explain the doubts in Qin Guanxi's heart, the knowledgeable Jiang Shi still gave Qin Guanxi a thorough analysis of the material of the mirror.

Qin Guanxi nodded secretly when he listened, and carefully took the bronze mirror in his hand again, Qin Guanxi looked at Jiang Shi again and asked, "Senior Jiang, can you always tell the year of this thing?" Or can you see who made it and who used it? ”

"This...."Jiang Shi hesitated a little, and after a while, Jiang Shi moved his gaze from the yin-yang mirror on the table to Qin Guanxi's face, shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed, I can't give you an answer to your question." ”
