He seemed to realize something and his voice trembled.

"You...don't tell me that these are...green...bronze..."

"Old man, you are still smart. You just said it casually. Aren't they all bronzes? Dou, Gui, Li, Zhi, Jue, Zun, Zhi, Gu. I think they are very similar. And most of them are made of bronze.

It’s inscribed. I guess there must be one from the Western Zhou Dynasty. If you’re not lucky, you might even come across someone from the Shang Dynasty. But, again, it’s up to you to figure it out..."

"So many!" Kang Shude couldn't help but gasped. "How did you get them all?"

"To tell you the truth, after I recovered from my illness on New Year's Day, I went to visit central Japan. I didn't just go to Nara, I also went to Kyoto. There are too many flea markets in these two places. There are many antiques from our country.

There are too many antiques. Of course I picked the most important ones and bought them first."

Well, the number of bronzes suddenly increased to more than a dozen. What does this mean?

It shows that Ning Weimin spent a lot of money on this.

And it also means that he is taking extraordinary risks!

"But...but this matter is so uncertain!"

Kang Shude was surprised, but he couldn't help being afraid.

"You don't want your life? Why are you so brave! You dare to bring these things back blatantly! Those who know are that you want to donate, but those who don't know think you are smuggling! Such a large amount will be investigated

If you come out, I'll shoot you three times!"

"Don't get excited."

Ning Weimin knew that his master was worried about him, so he smiled calmly.

"I'm not stupid, can I risk my life? Let me tell you tomorrow. I said hello to the embassy before returning to China and left a backup copy. Over here, the Cultural Relics Bureau also had news. Customs stopped them at the airport.

If you can't help me, even if you find out, I still have the certification documents from the embassy. So, if you want to enjoy it, you have to hurry up. As soon as the three-day Spring Festival holiday is over, the Cultural Relics Bureau should ask me for something."

Ning Weimin's words were accurate, and they really reassured Kang Shude.

Of course, his generosity is enough to attract people's attention.

Because even if one piece is calculated as a few thousand yuan, the donation is tens of thousands, let alone the real value of these bronzes.

After the old man calculated the accounts, he couldn't help but feel sad for his apprentice.

I really wanted to praise Ning Weimin a few words, but I couldn't say it for the moment.

But where does this go?

Ning Weimin mistakenly thought that these things could not impress his master, so he took out a lacquerware box from his suitcase.

It opens to reveal a cloth bag.

Then he carefully opened the cloth bag and spread it on the table, revealing two more thread-bound books.

"Old man, please take a look at these two books again. I want to donate them too."

"Ah! This...this is the Song Dynasty edition! You should donate this too!"

If you don’t look at it, you will be surprised. If you look at it, you will be surprised.

Kang Shude, who was holding the book in his hand, was also trembling and almost jumped out of his chair.

"That's right. It's an absolutely authentic Southern Song Dynasty 'Zhejiang version'! Look at this character, it's a typical European style, the font is rectangular, the calligraphy strokes are meticulous, there is no slack. The characters are straight and beautiful. Look at the white mouth again, on top

Fish tail, a double-column frame on the left and right. Especially here, there is the word "Zheng" at the bottom of the center of the page, which is the name of the engraver. And the paper of this book is jute paper. There is no doubt that it has not escaped! These two books

Do you have an idea of ​​how much the book is worth?"

"Hey, old man, I'm not a stickman. I don't know the price of the Song version of the book yet."

Ning Weimin said calmly, "Before liberation, there was a saying that 'a page of the Song Dynasty edition is worth one tael of gold'. Not to mention that this is a complete set of two volumes. At the domestic price, if I give it to Liulichang, I have to give it at least

I don't dare to say tens of millions for overseas. If you buy a million dollars in a Hong Kong city, you can get several million Hong Kong dollars. Even if I bought these two books, it still cost 1.2 million yen.

It's equivalent to 40,000 yuan. But the problem is, we can't keep it even if we want to. Although it's not illegal, as you said, keeping paper things is the most troublesome. If I keep it greedily, how can I ruin it for myself?

What to do? I thought, forget it. Since this thing is so important, if it fails, I will be alone. I would rather lose a little or be ruined. Anyway, I have never made any contribution to the country since I was a child. And I can earn so much.

The money, the government has not confiscated from me, how much tax I have. Just donate it, it is worthy of the government and worthy of the ancestors. There is nothing to be reluctant to part with."

Ning Weimin expressed his feelings truthfully, and Kang Shude felt very complicated after hearing this.

Surprised? Emotional? Regretful? Excited? Disappointed? Heartbroken? Happy? Relieved?

All! None!

In fact, Kang Shude himself couldn't explain clearly. He only felt that his nose was sore and uncomfortable.

"Will it be sold for more than a few million? This thing will definitely become more and more valuable in the future! Besides, even if you spend 40,000 to get it, it is worth the money and it is not a small number for you! Oh, plus these bronzes

, how much money did you spend?"

Kang Shude muttered these words and tapped the table top of the Eight Immortals Table with his middle finger again.

But this time it was no longer like before, where he had no intention of joking at all. Instead, he was distracted, deep in thought, and completely forgot about everything else.

Ning Weimin quickly offered words of comfort.

"Master, are you feeling sorry for me? It's okay, it's really okay. In fact, this money is nothing to your apprentice. We are not afraid of spending money, and we can still make money. You probably don't know that I am in Japan.

A small goal in life has been achieved..."

Ning Weimin used Wang Jianlin's standards to tease him, and was thinking about how to report to the old man without being frightened.

Tell him that his overseas wealth has expanded to hundreds of millions of yuan.

However, Kang Shude's eyes became wet, and he burst into tears while stroking the two books and bronze vessels.

"No, no, you misunderstood me. You spent the right money! What you bought was worth it! What you donated was fine! But I just feel uncomfortable. How did these things end up in Japan in the first place? This is obvious

They are all our own things, but now... now, we actually ask you to spend money to buy them back. It's really hard for you! This is so fucking stupid..."

Ning Weimin was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Master, I understand how you feel. I am not happy when I think of this. You must also understand what it feels like when I go to Tokyo and see the Chinese cultural relics in the Tokyo Museum."

"But, I am your apprentice after all. Although I am neither civilized nor martial, I can make calculations. I promise you, from now on, I will not do business with the Japanese, only business. They use guns

I will find a way to use business to get back what the cannon took away."

"Today's world is different. The weapon that is more powerful than guns is called 'finance'. I am not good at 'plundering', but I still have some confidence in 'taking by skill'. What should I be afraid of if I buy it back? In fact, it is not shameful.

.The key is not to see where the money comes from. Don’t forget the old saying, the wool comes from the sheep. So the only thing I’m afraid of is that the little Japanese will cling to it and refuse to sell it.”

This statement worked.

Kang Shude thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, boy, this insight is interesting. You are my disciple. Then master, I will live well and wait to see how you toss and take advantage of the victory..."

"Hey, is this over? Leave it to me. I won't let you down."

Ning Weimin smiled and actually got another suitcase and opened it.

"Old man, we want to do something happy during the Chinese New Year. Those things just now were donated. This box of things belongs to both of us. Look at this, what did I get back for you?

A gift specially given to you. Please sit still and control your mentality, I'm afraid your blood pressure will rise..."

Kang Shude did not expect that there would be a box of goods.

Overjoyed and expecting, he said without belief, "Stop talking nonsense. I don't believe it. We even have bronzes and Song Dynasty books. What other high-end things can you make? What else can you come up with?"

To raise blood pressure? It can't be..."

Well, I don’t know what’s wrong with the old man today, he’s too impulsive.

As a result, it was too early to say this.

Before he finished speaking, something wrapped in yellow silk was carried to the Eight Immortals table by Ning Weimin.

When the hall was opened like this, even though Kang Shude was a man who had seen the world, his eyes lit up when he saw the things inside.

Because there is actually a seal button with a large sapphire seal of nine dragons engraved on it.

Then I heard Ning Weimin say in his ear, "Old man, this is Qianlong's jade seal, the seal of Leshan Hall. How do you feel about this, apprentice?"
