Tripod wedding

Chapter 346 Ding Ziding ([-])
"If Ding Zi Ding is genuine, it should conform to what was written in the "Chinese Cultural Relics" during the Republic of China. It appeared before Pan Geng moved his capital to "Yin". The utensils belong to the 'Early Shang' period."

"Bronze ware is a combination of copper and iron. New archaeological discoveries have proved that from the late Shang Dynasty to the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the iron used in the copper-iron combination casting was all meteoric iron. In the 90s Henan SMX unearthed '**Copper core handle iron sword ’, we have confirmed that the time when bronzes were artificially smelted with iron and copper can be pushed back to the late Western Zhou Dynasty at the latest.”

"But this Ding Ziding belongs to the early Shang Dynasty. The iron used is not meteorite iron, but artificial iron smelting. Such a mature metal smelting technology has appeared in the early Shang Dynasty. Don't you think it is unreasonable?"

Xu Qingru stood straight beside Ding Ziding, standing next to the "instigator" of the Fu family who brought the turmoil, looking at those people from the North and South Schools who had authenticated Ding Ziding, his eyes were clear, his gaze was like a torch, and his words were firm.

The place was quiet again,
This eerie silence is due to doubts and disbelief towards this "ordinary" daughter-in-law of the Fu family, an illegitimate daughter of the Xu family with unknown origins.

Those words of hers are not hard to hear for anyone with a little bit of knowledge. They cannot be easily said from ordinary people. To identify this bronze tripod by the difference between meteorite and smelting iron.

Qi Yun and Mei Xingzhong were also immersed in this silence, looking at this little girl in her 20s with complicated expressions. There are many rumors about her, saying that she is the daughter Xu Hueping does not want, and that she relies on With glorious means, she planned to marry Fu Shao of Kuncheng, saying that she would avenge her kindness, and she had ambiguity with her uncle.

But they didn't even know that this little girl had a keenness that they hadn't paid attention to.

Mei Xingzhong vaguely remembered that Gu Yuming once told him that the youngest daughter of the Xu family should not be underestimated.He didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that Gu Yuming was making alarmist remarks, but now it seems that this Xu Qingru must not be ignored.

Qi Yun also thought of the same thing as Mei Xingzhong, and he glanced at Mei Xingzhong tacitly, looking a little uncomfortable.

Why didn't Gu Yuming tell him not to underestimate Xu Qingru?When Gu Yuming asked him to go to Kuncheng to help the Fu family, he felt that the Fu family had already withdrawn from the circle of appreciating ancient times. In this "public judgment", I am afraid that people will be fish and meat and I will be the knife. The Fu family is the fish on the chopping board. At the mercy of others.

But Gu Yuming told him clearly that Xu Qingru was still in the Fu family, and he would never let anyone bully him.

Now, maybe it's time for Qi Yun to rethink the meaning of these words.

"Ah."

In the silence, a soft and clear laughter came. Everyone looked around and saw Xu Ruofan, who had been sitting still, suddenly stood up, walked out from behind the seat gracefully and slowly, and walked to Ding Ziding's door with a smile on his face. On the other side, looking at Xu Qingru:
"Sister, are you saying that this bronze tripod is made of artificially smelted iron, not meteorite iron?"

Xu Ruofan's crisp voice sounded, and many people present stretched their necks once again, and started talking again.

There were rumors about the two girls of the Xu family, which had already been circulated among the northern and southern factions. They all said that Xu Ruofan, the phoenix among men, was accidentally robbed of his husband and son-in-law by his younger sister who appeared from nowhere. Holding a grudge, he left the Xu family and joined the Northern faction.
