Manor Romance

Chapter 220 On the Sword
Seeing old friends, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu were very happy, and Mrs. Gu even took the initiative to talk about that incident: "Brother Ren was a member who was determined to investigate the truth after the scientific research team disappeared, and helped our Gu family not to worry about it." Little, I have never had a chance to thank you, and I finally made up for this regret today."

"Actually, I can't help much. If you can't force it, let him do it. Let's take a look at the contents of the box first." Ren Fei knew that this matter was a big taboo of the Gu family, and he didn't want to discuss it in detail, so as not to Affecting the emotions of the two old friends, he immediately changed the subject and gave Yunli a wink.

Yunli understood, and immediately opened the rectangular wooden box in his hand. Inside lay a long bronze sword. He explained to everyone: "This long bronze sword is the spoils brought back from the ancient tomb in the Snow Mountain last time. Staying in the mysterious ice, it still has a lingering cold air, it is best to wear cotton gloves when touching it."

"It's really a peerless treasure. Even if we don't touch it, we can still feel its simple atmosphere and a little bit of chill. From the shape of the hilt and scabbard, we can see that this is a sword cast in the Han Dynasty , I am afraid that only people at the emperor level are worthy of having it." Ren Fei has extraordinary eyesight, and he can see the era of the bronze long sword at a glance, and he praised it, and couldn't wait to put on the cotton gloves that Yunli prepared for him to play with some.

"Long swords only emerged in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Many famous swords that have survived for generations came from that period. At that time, Wu, Yue, Chu, and Bashu countries were rich in famous swords and produced many great swordsmiths. This sword The sword grid and the sword body form a cross, and the one-piece forging process is adopted, which is definitely from the hands of famous experts." Gu Lao also commented, he is a professor of the Department of History, so he is very familiar with this kind of ancient relics.

"The swords in our country can be roughly divided into Wenjian and Wujian. Ancient literati like to wear Wenjian as decoration, and there is often a place for hanging sword tassels on the hilt, while Wujian is the professional product of warrior generals. He can walk with a martial sword to show his identity. This is obviously a martial sword, and it is a martial sword that can command the army. Look at the dragon pattern carved on the scabbard. This is a symbol of a totem, which can boost morale effect." Mrs. Gu also talked with great interest, focusing on other things, and she and Gu Lao didn't have to talk about that sad past.

Listening to the explanation of the Yunli Great Feeling Teaching by the three senior people, he also searched the information before, but did not find any information related to it. Ren Fei and the three knew so much at a glance, not only Yunli, but also Ren Min, who was watching the fun from the sidelines, also became interested.

Ren Fei put on his gloves, carefully held up the long sword in his palm, turned it around and admired it for a while, then held the scabbard with one hand and the hilt with the other, and slowly pulled out the long sword. There was a clear sound of "Zheng" when the sword was struck, and the entire sword body was not rusted at all. Although it was not sharp, it gave people a shocking feeling of invincibility.

"It's rare, it's really rare. It's probably because of being frozen. This sword is definitely the best preserved ancient sword so far. If it wasn't hidden in the tomb so early, it would definitely leave a sword mark in history. It definitely has a place in the sword manual." After pulling out the blade completely, Ren Fei waved it in the air a few times, exclaiming with a smile on his face.

"Although there are no engravings on the body of the sword, the drawing process that was extremely difficult to master at the time should have been used when casting. The sword body produced by this process is thin and flexible, and the surface has the effect of congealing light. Putting it under different light sources The location will show different streamer effects." Gu Lao took a closer look at the condition of the sword body and was amazed, and he was eager to try to swing this peerless sword.

After Ren Fei heard the words, he raised the bronze long sword flat, held the hilt and turned it slowly, everyone focused on the sword, and the brilliance on the sword showed different changes as it was turned, and it could radiate and scatter. It can also be completely restrained, and through a unique angle, the light source can show a streamline pattern on the sword body, which is quite magical and fascinated everyone.

"Can you guys find out the specific origin of this sword?" Given a rare opportunity, Yun Li asked the three experts for advice. He was very interested in the identity of the owner of the ancient tomb, and it would be great if he could find out.

"I can only judge the approximate period. I haven't found any matching information about the leader of the Huns. It is estimated that there are very few records about him in the history books, and after so many years have passed, there is little hope of finding them. The two What do you think?" Ren Fei couldn't give an answer to Yunli's question. Back then when Wang Chengyuan told him about it, the two of them did a deep investigation, but they didn't gain much. They could only pin their hopes on Gu Lao and Gu Lao. Mrs.

"I don't have much idea. Although I can determine the origin of this sword, it is not easy to deduce its owner's identity. Since you said that it was obtained in the tomb of the leader of the Huns, you can start from this point. See Let's see what historical events in the same period are related to it, but it is so old, it is unlikely to be found." Gu Lao said helplessly, and Mrs. Gu also shook her head and remained silent.

"It's really difficult, and I don't know how many previous owners this sword has before. I can't force it. Mr. Ren, you are a big collector, so give me an estimate to see how much this bronze long sword is worth?" The ancient tomb was very strange, and it was normal to not be able to find out the identity of the owner of the tomb. Yun Li was not discouraged, and turned to a lighter topic.

Ren Fei stroked his chin, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "It is not an exaggeration to use the words priceless to describe it. Although it is not included in the list of famous swords, it meets all the requirements of famous swords and can be preserved. It is so well preserved, its value is difficult to measure with a specific figure, if it is placed in an auction, I estimate that it can fetch at least tens of millions."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this number. Yun Li is the owner of this bronze long sword, and he is very sensitive to this number. Although he did not intend to sell it, it is a good thing to know its true value. I didn't expect such a huge value. It seems that the suffering of that trip to the snow mountain was not in vain.

"If you really want to know the information about the owner of the tomb, you can hand this sword over to the people in the auction house for appraisal. They all have a huge team behind them, and their knowledge is not comparable to the few of us. Maybe Maybe we can get some clues." Ren Fei continued to add.

Yun Li shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't matter whether you know it or not, and this thing is a hot potato. It will definitely cause a stir when it comes out. I don't plan to sell it for money. When will I build it in the manor?" Once you have entered the collection hall, take it as the treasure of the town hall.”

"Haha, that's a good idea. Ming Lan and Li Jun will probably be very happy when they hear this." Mr. Gu laughed. Yun Li once said that he wanted to build a museum. If he really wanted to implement it, he would definitely find a museum. Gu Minglan and Li Jun, these two professionals, presumably they will not refuse when the time comes.

"It's getting late, I'm going to make dinner, you can drink tea and wait for a while." Yun Li looked at the time, and forgot that it was dinner time, so he went to prepare immediately, as he said earlier that he would let the two have a taste His craftsmanship, this cannot break his promise.

"I'll help you, and leave two dishes for Lulu. It's not easy to come here. I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time." Ren Min said with a smile, and the two went downstairs to work, while Mrs. Gu After brewing good tea, the three old friends seldom sit together and talk about the past.

Ren Min came here to make trouble rather than help. She has never been in the kitchen a few times since she was a child. There are servants at home to do these jobs, and her parents are both good cooks. She has little ability in this respect. The space for development, the reason why he took the initiative is to leave room for the three elders to reminisce about the past.

"The teacher is also getting old, and he has become more and more confused recently. I think he will retire soon. I suggested that he come to the southwest for the elderly, but he is very stubborn. He said he would stay in school and not go anywhere, but he I miss you very much, and said that I will definitely come to see your manor when I have time." Ren Min can't help much, but it is still possible to wash the vegetables, and chatted with Yunli.

"I also miss him very much. If possible, I would like to take him over to the manor for retirement. You can persuade him with others." They were talking about Dean Ni, of course, without him, Yun Li probably wouldn't have survived Today, he has always kept this kindness in his heart.

"Let's talk about it, it's not like you don't know his character. Before I came back, I went to see Aunt Xia Xia and Lily in the orphanage. Lily is still the same as before. Although she has long hair, her temperament hasn't changed at all. It's just Aunt Fang. She seems to be in poor health again, I did a simple examination for her, there is no major problem, but there are many old problems, you can go back and see her when you have time." Ren Min sighed.

"I know, when the construction of the high-speed rail line is completed, those houses of mine will almost be completed, and then I will pick her up to recuperate." When talking about this topic, Yun Li's face instantly became serious, but the work in hand Without stopping at all, it is cutting and matching various ingredients.

"But her reluctance to come here is another thing. After all, she has been in the orphanage for so long. It is not easy to leave. Teacher is a good example. Besides, you still have Lily to pass. If she doesn't Nod, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to reach anyone." Ren Min smiled wryly, she understood Yun Li's mood very well.

"I've talked to her about it, and she thinks the same thing, but the trip will only happen if she comes to investigate, and I don't know when they will come." As Ren Min said, Yun Li is confident Aunt Fang can be persuaded to come over, but Lily has to go through it. Once Lily disagrees, this matter will not come true.

"Lily's starting point is also for Aunt Fang's good. She is a smart girl and knows how to choose. Besides, she has not been very happy recently. There are enough troubles at work, and something happened to her parents. , It’s really hard for her.” Ren Min sighed.
