Classmate Ma was shocked when he saw that Mr. Ju, who had been treating him gently just now, suddenly turned his back. However, he calmed down and slowly took out a golden object from his body - the one found in the secret passage under Jiangjun Mountain. The found flying feather butterfly pattern identification seal.
"Well, actually yesterday at Boyaxuan I wanted to ask Mr. to palm my eyes to see where this seal came from. Unfortunately, Mr. Ma is a fairy-like figure..." Student Ma put on a serious and somewhat embarrassed look. , I am indeed a little embarrassed, Damn, I have thought too much. Fortunately, I went back yesterday to think about it all night, and I was more thoughtful and took this seal with me. Otherwise, today would have been a bit embarrassing.
After classmate Ma finished speaking, he calmly placed the seal on the coffee table in the study room, found a chair to sit on, and found a book next to it.
Mr. Orange was surprised when he saw Classmate Ma take out the seal. He quickly stood up and put down the pistol. In fact, Classmate Ma had already seen that Mr. Orange didn't know how to use a gun - the safety wasn't even turned on.
Mr. Orange was busy for a while, found a pair of white gloves, solemnly held the small seal in both hands, and looked at it carefully...
I took a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully again.
After a long time, he gently put down the seal and sighed softly.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize that Student Ma was sitting across from him, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Student Ma, I misunderstood you..."
"Oh, it doesn't matter." At this moment, Student Ma's mind was spinning, he had made up his mind, and he had regained his aloofness.
"I'm so sorry. I thought Mr. Ma was with someone..." Mr. Ju's cheeks were slightly red, and he was becoming more and more embarrassed.
"Sir, I am sincerely asking for your advice. I majored in science and engineering, majoring in mechanics. I know little about literature, so please forgive me if I offend you!" Student Ma imitated the men in Japanese dramas who scrubbed the floor. He stood up, bowed sincerely and said.
The two of them went back and forth, being polite many times, and finally reached a mutual understanding. They returned to their seats and sat down. If the fat man had been present, Bao Buqi would have rolled on the floor laughing. Fortunately, he was not brought here today.
"This seal was discovered by an expert and I at an ancient site during a field archeology..." Classmate Ma began to make some decent nonsense, but Mr. Orange should still have some knowledge of antiques and ancient culture. , so classmate Ma didn’t dare to talk nonsense, and he didn’t break the sky. As for the historical sites, the Secret Road of Jiangjun Mountain can be matched, and MISS Liu is also considered an expert. A woman was almost 1.7 meters tall in the Republic of China era. Not considered an expert?
"But I don't know where this historical relic is. This seal doesn't look like something that has been buried underground for a long time?" Mr. Orange asked a little puzzled.
"Oh, when we found this object, it was placed in a stone box together with many ancient objects. It was well sealed and well preserved. Fortunately, this object is made of gold and stone. Those ancient books were thrown away at the first sight..." Classmate Ma took the famous tomb robbing novel of later generations. The plot begins to deceive.
Mr. Ju is quite accomplished in literature and culture, and his skills in identifying antiques are indeed mediocre. Otherwise, shopkeeper Luo would not have been using Qianlong's high-quality imitations as Yongle's official kilns. Only then did Mr. Ma start talking nonsense.
Classmate Ma had made a plan in advance. He did not have the guts to directly pretend to be a Japanese aristocrat like the pig trotters in some spy novels. That thing was too risky, and he might lose it and be deceived again as a spy. As a woman, Mr. Tachibana is afraid that she can do anything.
Playing a good student who is dedicated to learning in this way is more in line with the character of Mr. Ma. Our Mr. Ma will not do anything to deceive women. The key is that he does not know how to do it.
"Sir, please tell me about the origin of this seal..." Student Ma asked sincerely.
"This is the seal of recognition of our Japanese noble family, the Taira clan. The Taira clan, the Fujiwara clan, the Genji clan, and our Tachibana clan are all Japanese aristocrats..." Mr. Tachibana is a well-educated person who conscientiously popularizes the knowledge of ancient culture enthusiasts, Mr. Ma. Get knowledge of Japanese history.
"What's very special about this seal is that it doesn't have a family name engraved on it, but a family crest. I've never seen this before. It needs to be verified... and this seal is at least several hundred years old. As for how it came about. When I arrive in China, I still want to explore it a bit." Mr. Ju said unhurriedly.
"I really learned a lot today!" Student Ma couldn't help but sigh.
"This identification seal is almost useless to me. Sir, I am a scholar, so I would like to ask you to keep it for the time being, and then do some research to find out its origins..." Student Ma said sincerely.
"This, isn't it good..." Mr. Orange was born into a noble family, so he naturally knew the value of this seal, so of course he refused.
"Sir is not a mortal, so he is naturally worthy of keeping this thing. Besides, the Tachibana clan and the Heping clan are also related, so it is not inappropriate to leave it to you to keep it for you... However, I hope you will keep this matter secret." Student Ma's tone was sincere and There is no doubt about it.
"Hmm... Okay, but Ma Jun, if you find clues or need to get the seal back, you can come to me at any time." Mr. Orange also said solemnly.
Ma Dan, what I want is your last sentence - of course our classmate Ma has no other intentions, and we don’t dare to have any, mainly because we want to enter the Japanese consulate next.
After asking Mr. Ju a few more literary questions and saying a few polite words, classmate Ma politely bid farewell to Mr. Ju and left the small western-style building by the Tisha River.
When I returned to Yuelai Hotel, I saw that the fat man had come back a long time ago. When he saw Boss Ma, he smiled strangely and asked, "Boss, how are the Japanese widows doing?"
"You almost beat me to death?" Boss Ma said angrily.
"What? Are you really doing that? This is too much? With your skills as an old man, you shouldn't be able to do that?" The fat man was frightened. He jumped up and asked several exaggerated questions.
"Hey, don't be too complicated in your thoughts..." He immediately told Fatty the whole story. Boss Ma couldn't let others misunderstand him. If he spread rumors, he might not know what would happen.
"Oh, that's it. It seems that this Japanese little widow is not simple..." The fat man touched his chin thoughtfully and stopped gossiping about the details of Boss Ma's outsmarting the little widow.
After a while, Xiao Lu also came back. He was an honest kid, not as gossipy as the fat man. He worked at his desk when he came back, sorting, recording, and classifying the day's gains... The two bragging and spanking brothers were embarrassed. He quickly sat down to help.
Early the next morning, Boss Ma took Fatty directly to Boyaxuan.
Before he entered the door, he saw Agui coming to greet him from a distance. Commander Ma knew that Fatty had completed his task well yesterday, so he smiled in a friendly manner and did not ask any further questions.
He went straight to the study to find Shopkeeper Luo and explained his purpose: "Shopkeeper Luo, what did my brother explain yesterday?"
"Thanks to the fat man's respect, I will definitely serve the organization with all my strength..." Shopkeeper Luo nodded and bowed and replied to Boss Ma.
"Well, okay, let's get some sharp stuff..." Boss Ma said.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Luo's face changed slightly, and he hesitated not knowing what to do at the moment.
"It's not like I won't pay you. I'm going to pay the market price. Don't treat me as a fake and treat me like a stick." Boss Ma added, knowing that he didn't speak clearly.
Hearing what Boss Ma said, Shopkeeper Luo felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He hurried to the second floor and rummaged around for a while. He dug out a few things and carefully placed them on the desk for Boss Ma.
Boss Ma looked at the antiques on the table and asked directly without even moving his hands: "Which one is the cheapest?"
Shopkeeper Luo looked at Boss Ma confused when he heard this, and the fat man was also confused about the boss's meaning.
"Well, I don't want it myself, I just need to coax people to live with it." Boss Ma explained in detail.
"Oh..." Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Luo rolled his eyes and turned around and took out a box from a nearby wooden cabinet. In the box was a silk-wrapped scroll.
Shopkeeper Luo carefully opened the scroll, and inside was an ancient painting. In the painting, there was a close-up view of Pi Tuo, with five or six miscellaneous trees standing like scribes and gentlemen. In the distance, there were several low slopes, undulating and without a trace of human beings. , the artistic conception of the painting is quite profound.
"Just tell me the origin..." Boss Ma directly named Shopkeeper Luo's key points, otherwise the profiteer might want to talk about ancient times again, and he and the fat man would not be enough.
"This belongs to Ni Zan from the Yuan Dynasty..." Shopkeeper Luo said timidly.
"Damn, it's from the Yuan Dynasty, what a good thing!" Boss Ma said in a fuss.
"You can't say that..." Shopkeeper Luo looked a little weird, rolled his eyes, turned around and looked at the door of the study for a moment, then carefully closed the door.
Shopkeeper Luo lowered his voice and said: "So that the two officers will know that this painting is real, but it is not..." As he said this, he made a gesture of lifting the quilt with his hands.
Shopkeeper Luo performed a show, and Boss Ma and Fatty finally understood that this was a painting reveal - simply put, it used superb techniques to reveal an ancient painting into several layers. It is said that highly skilled craftsmen can reveal it to the ninth layer. .
"This is the second floor. It's quite old. My senior brother only opened two floors..." Shopkeeper Luo said coquettishly.
"Haha, it's amazing, the masters are among the people!" Boss Ma sighed. Sure enough, the wisdom of the working people is infinite.
In the end, it was a fair transaction, and Boss Ma bought the ancient painting - "Autumn Skies at the Fishing Village" for one hundred yuan.
On the way back, Fatty suddenly asked Boss Ma: "Boss, do you want to ask Boss Luo about his senior brother?"
"It's necessary, even if you dig his ancestral grave, you have to ask." Boss Ma agreed with the fat man's opinion.
In the afternoon of the same day, classmate Ma brought "Autumn at the Fishing Village" to visit Mr. Ju. When he saw Ni Zan's painting, Mr. Ju was so excited that he almost spoke his native language. After some appreciation, he confirmed that it was an authentic painting and called the consulate. , we agreed to take the painting to the consulate with classmate Ma the next day and ask the consul to appreciate it.
After so much effort, he was finally able to enter the Japanese consulate. Even though Boss Ma had seen strong winds and waves, he was a little uneasy and didn't sleep well at all that night.
The next day, with dark circles under my eyes, I met Mr. Tachibana by the Thesa River and took the ancient paintings with me, then got into the car of the Japanese Consulate.
The car had just crossed Shangtang River, turned a corner after crossing the bridge, and came to a secluded road. There was a sound of "chi--". The tire seemed to be punctured, and the driver had no choice but to stop the car.
As soon as I got off the car, I heard a sound of breaking wind, and the driver fell next to the car door.
