Chapter 801 Dean Sima's Excitement and Confusion
Chu Chen also deeply agrees with Dean Sima's words, not to mention Lao Fei, no matter who it is, he will probably feel emotional, what evil did he do in his previous life to give birth to such a son!
Just as Chu Chen was curiously about to ask Dean Sima about the details of that time, he saw Mr. Fei walking out with the bag containing the guqin.Thinking that Dean Sima didn't tell Mr. Fei about this, Chu Chen could only suppress the doubt in his heart and kept silent.

In fact, Dean Sima said just now that although Fei Yupengci's rich man is a foreigner, because someone in his family is a minister-level figure, he has more energy in the capital.Therefore, if it was Chu Chen, he must tell Fei Yu about Fei Yu, lest the other party come back to make trouble.

But since Dean Sima made such a decision, he must have his own thoughts, or Fei Yu begged him not to tell Mr. Fei, and it was inconvenient for Chu Chen to say anything about it.

Mr. Fei walked back to his original position, carefully put the bag on the table, and then said with a smile, "There is a treasure at home, so I can only keep things safe. I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"

The two waved their hands, indicating that it was okay.However, if Chu Chen knew that there was such an unreliable son in Fei's family, he would have to think about whether to restore it to him. He could trust Fei's character, but if Fei's son knew that there was a A priceless guqin, how could this guy not be tempted?

But the matter had come to this point, and it was impossible for Chu Chen to say anything about repentance, so he could only hope that Fei Yu would stop causing trouble for him.

Fei Lao carefully took the guqin out of the bag, and then he heard Dean Sima exclaim: "The tortoise pattern is broken!"

As soon as the words fell, Dean Sima pounced on the guqin. It looked like a tiger preying on its food. Chu Chen, who was watching, wanted to stop him, lest he break the guqin.

Fortunately, Dean Sima also knew the fragility of the guqin. Although he moved violently, he stopped in time when he got close to the guqin. Immediately afterwards, he stared at the guqin in front of him. Finally, relying on his rich experience, he judged It turns out that the tortoise pattern on this guqin is indeed formed naturally.

"Sure enough, there are broken tortoise patterns, and there are also broken plum blossoms. This Guqin is incredible!"

Dean Sima looked excited and admiring, and then he quickly asked Chu Chen, "Boss Chu, I wonder if you can introduce the origin of this guqin..."

"Isn't it that I went to Paris a while ago..."

Chu Chen smiled, recounted what had happened, and finally explained: "At first, I was just wondering why there was a very ordinary-looking guqin in the middle of a pile of furniture. It turned out that the epidermis should be camouflaged."

"At that time, I knew that this piano should not be simple, but this guqin looked too ordinary at the time, and I was too embarrassed to take it down. It was my luck that the other party gave me the piano, otherwise I would definitely want more. Spend some time talking."

Fei Lao chuckled and said, "Xiao Chu, your luck is really great! However, thanks to your carefulness and such good luck, how could this guqin return to our country!"

"Why, Mr. Fei, do you think this guqin is really a zither around the beam?" Dean Sima asked hastily when he heard the words. When Mr. Fei said that, his lips trembled with excitement.

Fei Lao shook his head and said: "I can't be sure that it is a real qin, but even if it is not a real qin, as a guqin that can produce plum blossoms and tortoise patterns, I think it is at least a famous product. "

"That's true!" Dean Sima nodded. What he said just now, he also thought in a hurry. Now that he thinks about it, at least based on his cognition, he definitely doesn't believe that there is a Guqin that can inherit two thousand good fortunes. History.However, even a guqin that has been passed down for thousands of years is a rare and precious item. Of course, this kind of thing should be kept in China!

Thinking of this, Dean Sima let out a long sigh and said, "Hey, I don't know how this guqin was spread abroad, and after so many years, only the body of the qin is left. What a waste of money!"

"There are too many reasons for the loss of cultural relics to foreign countries, so I won't talk about it here!"

Fei Lao said: "As for the body of the violin, maybe when I took it abroad to save trouble, I removed all the accessories. Later, I don't know what happened, so I didn't put the accessories on. Of course, maybe It’s some other reason. Fortunately, only the body of the qin is left, otherwise it would not be so easy to bring the Guqin back.”

The two smiled and nodded, and then Dean Sima asked, "Mr. Fei, what year do you think this Guqin is from?"

Fei Lao replied: "This is the reason why I asked you to come here. We discussed it all afternoon yesterday, and we can only confirm that the production date of this Guqin must be earlier than the Tang Dynasty. As for whether it is the Southern and Northern Dynasties or earlier , I don’t know about it, and this point probably depends on your scientific instruments to be able to determine it.”

"It's definitely no problem!" Dean Sima was a little excited when he spoke. After all, there are only a handful of such guqins. If they can be studied thoroughly, it should be a great discovery in the cultural relics world.

However, after a while, he thought of another thing and said, "Old Fei, is the inscription on this piano the original one or a later one?"

"Oh! Why do you ask that?" Fei Lao asked.

Dean Sima explained: "It's very simple. The Raoliangqin is the Qin of King Zhuang of Chu, and the allusion of Yuyin Raoliang is a story in "Liezi". Liezi was not born until more than 140 years after the death of King Chuzhuang. If this The inscription is the original one, so this guqin must be an imitation. However, I can’t see any traces of re-engraving on it, so..."

Generally speaking, if the inscriptions on the Guqin are written first, they must have been engraved on the back of the Qin when the blank was made.The words engraved later will inevitably damage the original lacquer body. Even if the words are painted with gold and dyed, the traces of damage cannot be concealed.

As for Chu Chen's piano, the inscription on it looks as if it was engraved first, so Dean Sima is now confused.

Fei Lao smiled and explained: "There are still traces, but they are not obvious..."

As he spoke, he turned the guqin over and explained while pointing to the part of the inscription.

Regarding the inscription, Chu Chen also felt very ashamed, because he had the judgment of supernatural powers, and the inscription was engraved in gold, and the traces of the re-engraving were handled very well, so he did not expect Liezi to be Chu. He was born after the death of King Zhuang, so it is taken for granted that the inscription on it was engraved first.For this reason, he made a joke in front of everyone yesterday.

After listening to Fei Lao's explanation, Dean Sima was also very happy. After all, if it was engraved later, then this guqin might still be genuine, even if he thought in his heart that there would be no guqin in the world that could It has been preserved so completely for two thousand and hundreds of years, but even if there is only a one-in-a-million possibility, he still hopes that this guqin will be genuine.

At this time, Fei Lao said again: "Sima, you also know my character, our business is public, private is private, since things are brought to you for appraisal, then we have to sign an agreement, what do you think? "

"This is what it should be!" Dean Sima repeatedly nodded in agreement. Even if this guqin is not genuine, the guqin that was thousands of years ago is undoubtedly extremely precious. There must be certain rules when dealing with such things. just work.

"Okay then, the three of us will sign the agreement..."

"and many more!"

As Lao Fei said, he turned the guqin over and was about to put it in the bag, but at this moment, Dean Sima discovered a detail.

"What's wrong?" Fei Lao asked a little strangely.

Dean Sima leaned forward again, looked at Guqin carefully again, then frowned and said:

"Don't you think this Guqin is too well preserved?"

"How?" Chu Chen asked.

Dean Sima explained: "The guqin is made of wood after all, and it is often played for people. Generally, the guqin that has gone through hundreds of years will definitely need to be repaired due to various reasons. The famous qin handed down now , basically every piece has been repaired several times before it regains its brilliance."

"Now our guqin has gone through thousands of years. It is reasonable to say that there must be traces of repairs, but in this respect, I haven't seen it at all. Could it be that the people who have repaired it before have real craftsmanship?" Too superb, without any traces showing?"

Old Fei smiled and shook his head: "Isn't that right, this guqin really hasn't been repaired!"

"How is this possible? Is there something wrong with this guqin?" Dean Sima looked incredulous.

"To be honest, we also find this very strange. Logically speaking, let alone more than 2000 years, even if this guqin was made during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there must be traces of repairs, but it just doesn't!"

Fei Lao said with emotion on his face: "Besides, we also made a rather unexpected discovery yesterday. This guqin is not made of paulownia wood, and even the bottom is not made of catalpa wood. We have never seen two kinds of wood. But Its pattern is formed naturally, we all affirm that there is no possibility of fraud..."

"how can that be!"

Dean Sima's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.It's no wonder that, generally speaking, Guqin is made of paulownia wood and catalpa wood as the bottom. In addition to the combination of yin and yang mentioned by the ancients, the most important thing is that the sound quality of these two materials is the best, so the Guqin handed down from generation to generation Many are made from both materials.

Now Dean Sima heard that the guqin in front of him was not made of paulownia or catalpa, no wonder he was shocked.
