People from the province came to look for him, so the Zhu family naturally supported Zhu Yu to go to the province for a PhD.
Zhu Shoushan waved his hand:
"Go, everything is fine at home. What you are doing is a big deal, don't worry about the family."
"That's right, I'm at home!" Brother Zhu Fei patted his chest, "Don't worry, I can take good care of grandpa and parents outside!"
"Pah!" Zhu Dahe slapped Zhu Fei on the back and cursed with a smile:
"What are you talking about? I'm not old yet!"
He said to Zhu Yu again:
"Go, go, I can't hold you here, just don't lose us outside!"
Although her mother Chen Yuejuan was very reluctant to give up, she also knew that her son was going to do great things. She took Zhu Yu's hand and said:
"Be sure to pay attention to safety outside. Don't worry about home. When you have time, make a phone call and send a video or something to let us know what you are doing, Ang? Also, if you have a girlfriend, bring her home as soon as possible. You can't just stay here It’s just outside, your brother is getting married soon, and it’s your turn next..."
Zhu Yu was never bothered by his mother's nagging. A wanderer who has been out for a long time wants to hear his parents' nagging the most.
"Okay, okay," Zhu Dahe said when he saw Xiao Li waiting outside, "Don't talk anymore, Xiaoyu has other things to do. If you miss him, just call him or send him a video. We can see him every day!"
Chen Yuejuan glared at him, then stopped, straightened Zhu Yu's clothes, and then watched her son get into the car and leave.
In the car, Xiao Li continued to introduce Zhu Yu:
"This time, experts have translated many words on the plate, proving that this plate was made by a nobleman in the early and middle Shang Dynasty to commemorate his ancestors."
"What do these words mean?"
"That is to say, this noble received a dream from his ancestor, who recalled his heroic demeanor when he followed Tang to exterminate Xia, and asked his descendants to write it down as a commemoration..."
Ran Jie and the three of them heard nothing. Zhu Yu, who was leaning on the back of the car seat and squinting his eyes to listen, suddenly sat up when he heard this, stared at Xiao Li and asked loudly:
"Is what you said true?"
"It's true!" Xiao Li smiled when he saw Zhu Yu's reaction.
Sure enough, she also guessed that if she told the contents of the big plate, Zhu Yu would definitely know what it meant.
"Did it say when and where his ancestors destroyed Xia?"
Xiao Li didn't expect Zhu Yu to grasp the key point at once:
"The words indicating the battlefield have not been translated yet," Xiao Li said with some regret. "Experts are now comparing them."
Although some of the characters on oracle bone inscriptions and early bronze vessels are common and can be read by ordinary people, some of the more obscure ones, especially those that are seldom or almost not used in later generations, are more difficult to translate.
So Zhu Yu understands better.
But this time, he just went there to watch the excitement. As a layman, the other party wouldn't let him do anything.
The car drove to the museum, and as soon as Zhu Yu got out of the car, the deputy director Huang Jianzhong from last time came to greet him.
Seeing Zhu Yu, the smile on Huang Jianzhong's face couldn't help but bloom!
"Mr. Zhu, you're here! Come on, come on, the experts are waiting. You don't know this time, well-known experts on bronzes from across the country are here..."
Zhu Yu was a little confused, I'm just a layman, I'll just study it when they come, what does it have to do with me?
However, after going in, he discovered that it really did matter!
In a research room of the museum, there is a large bronze plate in the middle.
At this time, part of the green patina on the plate has been cleaned, and the exquisite and simple patterns on the outside of the plate can be seen.
Is it a bird or animal pattern?
Zhu Yu seemed to have some impression, but he didn't know everything.
From here, Zhu Yu could see the words on the plate, but he didn't understand them.
The handwriting was much clearer, but Zhu Yu still didn't recognize most of it.
But then his attention wasn't on the plate.
Because there were at least forty or fifty elderly people looking at him in this room!
There is fire in those eyes!
If there were forty or fifty beautiful ladies looking at him like this, Zhu Yu would definitely be happy!
That smile was really very eager, just like the expression the scorpion spirit had when looking at Tang Monk!
If I can’t get you, I’ll eat you!
It's a pity that the youngest person present is estimated to be at least fifty years old, and they are all men. Zhu Yu doesn't catch a cold!
Before Huang Jianzhong could speak, a man of medium build, well-kept, and about fifty years old quickly walked up to Zhu Yu and said with a smile:
"Xiao Zhu, right? Ouch, from Lao Ye's point of view, we are our own people! Let me apologize to you first for Lao Zhou, he is also a fool, so he can do such a thing!
I don’t know how much I regretted it these past two days! You see, we are destined to be together. You called Lao Zhou earlier, and now I'm here again. We did this wrong! I apologize to you! You see, should we also strengthen our cooperation..."
Zhu Yu was confused at first, but now he almost understands what he said.
This should be a senior executive of the museum where Zhou Boyu works, or the director, or another deputy director.
Huang Jianzhong became anxious when he heard this. He hurriedly said:
"Director Liu, Director Liu! This is not what happened! Mr. Zhu has already cooperated with us and the contract has been signed. This matter can no longer be changed..."
"We can afford the liquidated damages!" Director Liu was very angry. Although the level of his museum is not as high as that of Xinbo, he has money there!
It is built in a developed province. The cultural relics unearthed there are many and of high grade. In the early years, it was a province with a large circulation. Some high-grade cultural relics from other provinces also appeared there, so there are good things in the museum itself. The more, the more attractive.
However, no one can have too much of something that can make a restaurant lively, right? Especially the current large bronze plate, which has been named Chenhou plate by Xinbo - because the caster of this bronze plate, or the person described in these inscriptions, is Chenhou.
"That's not possible! The things are all stored here, and the repair and cleaning work has just begun. How can we transfer them to your place? We absolutely disagree!"
Director Liu smiled and said:
"It's not up to you to say this."
He turned to Zhu Yu and said:
"Mr. Zhu, as long as you agree to come to our place, our museum will definitely treat you with the greatest sincerity! The rental fee will start at least one million per year! We don't have any long-term contracts, how about a five-year contract? I will also hire these bronzes. If these experts come to repair it, the conditions over there will be much better... Also, if you have any other requests, don’t hesitate to put them forward. As long as we can agree, we will definitely satisfy you!"
Zhu Yu shook his head and said apologetically:
"Director Liu, I'm really sorry. I have already negotiated with the museum here. I think this place is quite good. It just so happens that there are not many bronzes here, so people will pay more attention to them if they are placed here.
Director Liu, you don’t lack these, right? There are a lot of good things, so let’s not talk about this matter today, right? "
Director Liu's smile froze on his face.
He didn't expect that Zhu Yu didn't negotiate any conditions at all, and just refused!
Huang Jianzhong felt proud now.
Although we usually work together and are of similar rank, we are all very polite even if we don’t meet each other when we look up, but we still have to give face.
But Huang Jianzhong was really unhappy when he pried Zhu Yu in front of him.
But what Zhu Yu did made him really relieved.
What I'm thinking about is that the bronze branch library at the back must be well maintained and protected. It must not cause any scandals or the like, which would be troublesome.
Next, he introduced Zhu Yu to the experts and professors here.
Zhu Yu took the initiative to say hello to everyone.
These people are also very curious about Zhu Yu. After all, it is really amazing that he can get more than a hundred bronzes at once, especially a large bronze plate with an inscription of more than a hundred words!
"There are also some historians who called, hoping to come over and study the inscriptions when they have time. Maybe they can push the dating project further."
Huang Jianzhong said this to Zhu Yu quietly, with a proud expression on his face.
These experts became even more curious after learning that Zhu Yu was the owner of the Acupuncture Bronze Man.
It's really amazing that such a young man managed to bring back so many national treasures!
You still need to get to know such people.
If we get some shocking national treasure later, we might be able to get our hands on it earlier.
If it's just once, they won't say anything. There will be a second and third time. It's impossible for these people not to think more.
This is also the reason why Director Liu did not hesitate to fall out with Huang Jianzhong and poach Zhu Yu.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yu didn't follow.
Zhu Yu got to know these experts and professors who could be uncles one by one, but these people were very polite.
Some said: "Xiao Zhu, you are doing a great job with this bronze! This might be able to advance the history of our country further!"
Some asked: "Mr. Zhu, how did you discover these bronzes? This must be reported and called on everyone to learn from it..."
Zhu Yu would not dare to accept this. If he can do it himself, that's because he's smart.
If everyone is called on to do this, then this person will be scolded as an expert? Even Zhu Yu can't escape!
Fortunately, most of them are concerned about the origin and legality of these bronzes. In addition, I am curious about how he obtained these national treasure-level cultural relics one after another.
After knowing that Zhu Yu was a treasure hunter, his curiosity became even stronger.
Of course, there are also more alternative ones, asking Zhu Yu directly if he knows what those words mean.
Zhu Yu shook his head hastily, joking, can he understand this stuff?
The expert from New Province was closest to the market. At this time, he looked at Zhu Yu with a strong sense of superiority - this is us from New Province!
There is nothing wrong with my family!
How could he not see that Zhu Yu's ability to place these bronzes in the New Provincial Museum must be largely due to his hometown.
Seeing that Zhu Yu was being watched by a strong crowd, he decided to help rescue him. He simply pulled Zhu Yu to the market, pointed to a few words on the market with the pen in his hand and said:
"Did you see, Xiao Zhu, these words should be very critical. But these few words, firstly, are a bit dull due to rust, and secondly, they have not appeared in previous oracle bone inscriptions and inscriptions. Yes, so we haven’t been able to figure it out, look... what does it say like?”
Zhu Yu's eyes lit up. If he wants me to guess what these words mean, forget it.
But let me see what these words look like, that is my strength!
Before he took a closer look, an old man over there said with a smile:
"Xiao Chu, please don't cause trouble to Xiao Zhu. His strength is to find these treasures. Our strength is to study the words, textures, and ages on these treasures. All departments and offices, please don't do those fancy things. s things."
Having said this, he also said to Zhu Yu:
"Xiao Zhu, do you think what I said is right?"
Zhu Yu remembered that this old man in his sixties was a professor of history at a famous university in the northwest and an expert in ancient writing. His most important contribution was to decipher several oracle bone inscriptions on his own.
Xiao Chu is the expert from Xinbo, waiting for Zhu Yu in front of the market.
When he said this, Expert Chu felt embarrassed.
The ownership of this market belongs to Zhu Yu, and Xinbo itself is only on loan.
Let this old man say it, Zhu Yu is just a porter!
How can that be done?
Of course, this cannot be said here. His rank is lower than that of the old man. Fortunately, Zhu Yu spoke at the right time:
"It's okay, I'll just take a look, maybe I can use some advice to attract others."
The old man didn't expect that Zhu Yu didn't agree with his words, so he could only laugh:
"That's fine. But be careful, don't touch this national treasure."
The smile on Zhu Yu's face faded, and he thought to himself, old man, have you forgotten that this market belongs to me?
Let you see it to give you face! Theoretically speaking, if I smash him, that would be my pleasure!
But he wouldn't say that. He ignored the old man's words and stepped forward to read the words carefully.
Then he discovered that the words Expert Chu pointed to were indeed obscured by rust.
But because the rust lasts for a long time, if you remove the rust, it will be easy to remove the writing together.
This is more troublesome!
This should also be the reason why the bronze plate has not been cleaned of rust.
But this is not a problem for Zhu Yu!
He saw a pen next to him, so he picked up the pen and looked at it carefully.
Although his action was appropriate in the eyes of most people.
Everyone present knew that the market belonged to Zhu Yu personally.
But he is too close to the market, so it is inevitable that some people will worry that this action will cause certain damage to the bronze market.
So someone immediately reminded:
"Xiao Zhu! Be careful!"
"Mr. Zhu, don't get too close!"
However, Zhu Yu only glanced twice, then returned to his natural standing posture, thought for a while, and started writing on the pen.
His actions confused many people.
What does it mean?
Can you tell what those words are?
Because of the rust, some words may not be clear even with rubbings.
So looking directly is of course the clearest.
But the bronze platter was precious, and they couldn't just sit around it and look at it for an hour.
Time does not allow.
So I’ve seen it all, so it’s hard to guess.
Now that Zhu Yu suddenly wants to write, some people are thinking, is this kid really seeing something?
But most of them shook their heads.
To laymen, it may be that the young man feels that he can be trusted and is mysteriously confident.
You might get hit after a while.
