Chapter 386 Critical Inheritance

Zheng Wenzhi smiled wryly, "Yeah, this may not be impossible! This job is really troublesome! The investigation in the Jiangzhou River Basin is one piece, and the investigation along the river is another piece."

"You don't need to go into the water. Besides, you have to do the trouble. Fortunately, this rhetoric is really good. In conjunction with relevant departments, it is said to search for and salvage the cultural relics of the Ming Dynasty. This way, there will be no negative news about the tripod. "He Wenguang said.

Yu Yao took a sip of his wine, "Okay, I understand. From now on, there's nothing I need to do."

"Who said there is no?" Zheng Wenzhi said, "If you find the real tripod by then, you have to participate in the appraisal."

He Wenguang said again, "Besides, you are a local, so you should be more careful about the clues about the Dragon King statue in the future. After all, it may be related to Taidian Fangding."

Yu Yao nodded, "Well, these are all fine."

"Okay, the staged results are actually pretty good!" Zheng Wenzhi raised his glass, "Now relax and let's not talk about business!"

He Wenguang did not continue to discuss this matter.

Yu Yao secretly wrote down the matter about the "Zhenpin Xuanhe" seal, which is also a very useful clue.Moreover, Zheng Wenzhi will not reveal too much for the time being, but as some things progress, he may not be unable to obtain more information from the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted about some antiques while eating and drinking.

The wine was hot, and Zheng Wenzhi suddenly pulled his leather bag and took out a brocade box from it, "I went out for a walk two days ago, and I found a good thing in your Qixingqiao Antique Market in Jiangzhou! Brother Yu Yao You palm the eye?"

He Wenguang stared, "Okay, Old Zheng, when did you go shopping?"

Zheng Wenzhi laughed and said, "This is called taking a break from a busy schedule."

"No wonder they are so active in organizing dinners for guests. It turns out there is something for us to see!"

Zheng Wenzhi stretched out a finger and shook it, "It's brother Yu Yao, not you, you are inferior to me in other aspects except bronze wares!"

He Wenguang put down his chopsticks, "Okay, I'll be more serious today, take it out, and talk about it."

Yu Yao smiled and said, "I see, Zheng Chu must have missed something, just to show off in front of the two of us, what kind of palm eye is not palm eye."

"I don't dare to say if I miss it, but it's really not a lot of money."

As Zheng Wenzhi said, he opened the brocade box.

This brocade box is relatively flat, the size of a book, and Zheng Wenzhi is proficient in inscriptions, so before it was opened, Yu Yao guessed that it might be a soft film.

After opening the brocade box, there was a book inside, a thread-bound edition.

It is very troublesome to look at this kind of thing on the wine table, so Zheng Wenzhi simply got up and put the brocade box on his seat.

Since He Wenguang said it, Yu Yao asked him to watch it first.

He Wenguang was very particular. He first wiped his hands carefully with a wet towel, and then wiped his hands with a dry paper towel before picking it up.When he watched, Yu Yao did the same.

This engraved copy is very thick and well preserved. The title of the book "Jin Yunqiao Biography" is printed on the cover, along with "Qingxin Cairen Compilation".

"The Legend of Jin Yunqiao" is a novel, it can be regarded as a love story, and its popularity is not low.

He Wenguang finished reading the cover, then flipped through the inside, and quickly put it down, "The engraved edition of the early Qing Dynasty, the complete edition, four volumes and twenty chapters. This is not something of value."

Zheng Wenzhi looked at Yu Yao with a smug expression on his face, "I just said he can't do it?"

Yu Yao picked it up, flipped through a few important points, and said solemnly, "It's indeed the real thing! It's rare!"

"The printed editions of the Qing Dynasty are also rare?" He Wenguang was taken aback.

Zheng Wenzhi clapped his hands, "Brother Yu Yao still knows how to do it! This "Jin Yunqiao Biography" edited by Qing Xincai, the early Qing printed version is too rare! There is a genuine work in the Japanese National Cabinet Library, and I have only heard of news of the discovery of the real work in China. , but I haven’t seen the real thing, so it’s hard to judge whether it’s true or not.”

Yu Yao nodded, "The "Jin Yunqiao Biography" edited by Qing Xincai was printed in the early Qing Dynasty, and there are clear records in historical materials, but for a long time, no real product has been found in China. The news of the discovery of the real product that Zheng Chu said was still unknown at the time. It has attracted attention. Anyway, this engraved copy is indeed rare."

"Good guy! So it's really a leak!" He Wenguang couldn't help but shouted.

"That shopkeeper made the same mistake as your He Suo. He sold it to me as an ordinary Qing Dynasty edition without asking for further understanding!" Zheng Wenzhi couldn't help shaking slightly when he said that.

But He Wenguang waved his hand again, "Even though this engraved copy is really rare, I know the general content of this novel. Isn't it about a prostitute marrying a pirate? It's too elegant."

"You are exaggerating. According to what you say, Dream of the Red Chamber is nothing!" Zheng Wenzhi argued.

This "Jin Yunqiao Biography" is actually a relatively famous literary work.The protagonist, Wang Cuiqiao, really existed in history. She lived in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. She was originally a brothel girl, but she eventually married the great pirate Xu Hai and wandered for a long time.Later Xu Hai was wiped out, and she finally committed suicide.

There is a poet in Vietnam named Nguyen You, who also adapted it into a narrative poem based on this, also called "New Voice of Broken Heart", which is very influential in Vietnam.

However, the value of the printed edition is the value of the printed edition, but Yu Yao doesn't like this literary work.

He put away the book, closed the brocade box, returned to his seat and lit a cigarette, "Actually, this woman is helping the evildoers, bringing disaster to the country and the people."

Both He Wenguang and Zheng Wenzhi couldn't help being startled.

"Brother, what emotion do you seem to have?" Zheng Wenzhi said while putting away the brocade box, and then lit a cigarette.

Yu Yao smiled, "It's nothing, this woman is actually a traitor, because she married the pirate Xu Hai, and Xu Hai and the Japanese people burned, killed and looted along the southeast coast together, and she also gave Xu Hai advice. But what? However, "The Legend of Jin Yunqiao" only extols her steadfast love, for the sake of love, regardless of everything, vigorously. But for the sake of selfish love, she killed her compatriots, and the coastal people suffered from Japanese pirates, and their families were destroyed. What is there to praise?"

He Wenguang applauded, "Well said!"

Zheng Wenzhi didn't speak.

Yu Yao then said to Zheng Wenzhi, "Zheng Chu, there are two different things. You really missed it. What I'm talking about is just the content of the story, my personal opinion."

Zheng Wenzhi then said, "You are right. The way of antiques cannot be independent of history. I also know very well that what should be collected should still be collected. It should be inherited critically!"

He Wenguang applauded again, "Old Zheng, what you said is also very good, critically inheriting, this is the real antique!"

The three looked at each other and laughed, then toasted at the same time.

This drink lasted quite late, and Yu Yao fell asleep with the pillow on his head when he returned home.

The next day Yu Yao was woken up by the ringing of the phone, and when he looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be Zhong Yu who hadn't seen him for a long time.
