"Aren't you planning to ask your friends for advice now?"

At this time, Director Wang smiled and said, "My friend, this is a great thing. Once the world knows that you have the Jiaoweiqin in your hand, you will immediately become a world celebrity."

"Celebrity? A transparent and wise man." Wang Guan shook his head and said, "I don't plan to become famous, and I don't want to be a public figure without privacy, so let's just say the press conference."

"My friend, you can't think like this." Director Wang said sincerely: "To put it bluntly, even if the Jiaoweiqin is your personal property, the Jiaoweiqin's culture is a wealth that everyone has. We have the responsibility and should let more people know that the four famous Chinese zithers in ancient China are not just a legend."

"Brother Qian, do you think so?"

Fearing that he could not convince Wang Guan, Director Wang hurriedly looked at Mr. Qian, wanting him to help him say a few nice things.

"Wang Guan, what Director Wang said is not without reason."

At this time, Mr. Qian pondered for a while, then nodded gently and said, "Announcement of the existence of Jiaoweiqin can also increase the public's awareness of the guqin culture to a certain extent. At least it can make more people understand that the guqin is not only a piano, but also includes the traditional guqin."

"However, after the press conference, is there a systematic publicity and display event?"

"Well……"

Hearing Mr. Qian’s inquiry, Director Wang felt like he was seen through, but he had no way to deny it. He nodded and admitted that they had ideas in this regard. He was ready to explain it well. However, Mr. Qian had no intention of listening and continued to smile and said, "Since that's the case, should Brother Wang discuss with Wang Guan and sign an agreement or something?"

"protocol?"

Wang Guan was a little confused and asked in a low voice: "What agreement?"

"Of course it's an agreement between lending and profit distribution." Yu Feibai whispered: "You can't lend them things for nothing. After all, they always have to sell tickets when they are on display..."

"I didn't expect there would be such a thing." Wang Guan realized this. Then he frowned. After a long time, Director Wang was just talking nonsense. If it weren't for Mr. Qian's reminder, he wouldn't have even mentioned this kind of agreement, right?

Wang Guan didn't care much about the distribution of interests. Even free aid was not a big deal. The main reason was that there was a lease agreement, which could at least prove that the things were his, so he would not be afraid that Director Wang would not return them.

Besides, if you don’t know, it’s completely different to not telling each other. If the other party deliberately doesn’t mention it, it means you have not put yourself in an equal position. Thinking of this, Wang Guan’s mood will definitely not be much better.

Seeing Wang Guan's expression, Director Wang secretly shouted that he was not good and hurriedly said, "Brother Qian, the contract documents have been prepared long ago. I am here now to discuss with my friend and listen to his opinions in detail."

Regardless of whether it is true or false, at least there is an explanation. Wang Guan's face cleared a little, and he shook his head and said, "Old Qian thinks that things should be promoted and exhibited, so I have no objection. However, I hope that when the announcement is made, I will not disclose my personal information. This is my only request, so it should be fine."

"no problem."

Director Wang heard this and thought for a while, then agreed and smiled and said, "If my friend has no other requests, then the matter will be settled like this. I will go back and get the contract documents immediately..."

"Wait." Wang Guan quickly added: "Director Wang asked to bring the guqin too."

"That's right." Yu Feibai echoed: "We also want to see what Jiao Weiqin looks like after she is repaired."

At this time, when I noticed the distrust in the eyes of the two, Director Wang not only smiled bitterly, but also smiled bitterly, his heart full of bitterness. I don’t know when. The reputation of the Palace Museum has fallen to this level?

Whether it was sad or lamenting, Director Wang had no reason to refuse such a reasonable request. He agreed immediately and said goodbye with a few inexplicably sad.

Mr. Qian stood up and sent Director Wang out. After a while, he came back, and sighed a little, "Wang Guan, don't be dissatisfied with Director Wang. You should know that some things are too much for him."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qian, I understand this." Wang Guan nodded and said, "I'm just right to the matter, not the person..."

"I won't mention this." Qian Lao smiled happily, then changed the topic and said: "By the way, Wang Guan, the things you checked in yesterday were placed in the next yard. I heard it was very heavy, what are they?"

"Wang Guan, what have you checked in?" Yu Feibai was very curious.

"It's that big stove!" Wang Guan reminded with a smile, and then stood up with excitement, intending to study the mystery of the big stove carefully.

"Big stove?" Yu Feibai was stunned, and immediately reacted, and said in surprise: "Have you carried the things back?"

"They also threw the things there as scrap iron. When I saw them abandoned them, they naturally picked them up." Wang Guan smiled and said, "It took a lot of time to drag them out..."

"What are you waiting for? Go and have a look." Yu Feibai couldn't wait, "I want to see if your intuition is so accurate every time."

"This is really not accurate." Wang Guan said with a smile. When it is accurate, it will be accurate. If it is not accurate, it will naturally not be accurate.

"Stop being slow, come quickly!" Yu Feibai urged, walked out of the living room and came to the house in the next yard.

At this moment, Tang Qinghua and Pi Qiushi followed curiously, and saw a two-wheeled truck wrapped in broken canvas in the corner of the room, with a seal from the moving company sticking on it. Obviously, no one had touched it.

"I'll take it apart." Yu Feibai shouted, without any worries, and directly tore the seal open, then quickly untied the rope and then pulled the canvas off.

In an instant, the tall and large, rusty incense burner immediately caught everyone's eyes.

"Everyone comes here to help and move things out."

At this time, Yu Feibai called out, and dragged the truck to the outside yard with the others, and then put down the large incense burner. This way, it can be more intuitive and close-up observation and research.

"Hey, it doesn't look very good." At first glance, Yu Feibai shook his head, then kicked the stove and scratched the rust marks on the stove wall, and didn't feel anything unusual.

"What a big stove." At this time, Mr. Qian also came over, looked at it and nodded, "This is a shape similar to a crowed ear stove, but the specifications are several times larger."

"It's about one meter high." Wang Guan gestured and said with a smile: "It's three feet from ancient times."

"No matter how tall or large it is, the production process is not good, and it is also broken copper and iron." Yu Feibai curled his lips, this is also the truth.

Just like some modern copper furnaces, they only look glossy on the surface, but are actually products that cut corners. They are usually made of yellow and mixed copper sand, which is extremely rough. The furnace body is not decorated with patterns, and the ears are upturned like a bridge, and the body is thin and has many sand holes. This kind of thing will probably be flattened if you fall a little or step on it.

There is also a copper furnace that is slightly better, which is cast using modern lost wax casting technology. The shape and weight of this kind of thing are OK, but looking at the texture of the copper, the skin, patina, the polished finish, etc., it is much worse than that of ancient copper furnaces.

You should know that most modern copper furnaces are made of electrolytic copper. The color is purple-red, without a delicate feel, and very awkward and shallow. Even if they are well-made and look beautiful, they lack the ancient charm.

This is true for small stoves, not to mention that a large incense burner that is one meter high may be directly mixed with iron and lead metal. Besides, the large incense burner in front of me is covered with hard rust spots and there is no obvious sign, so it is difficult to tell whether this is a modern work or an ancient thing.

Needless to say, modern things can be transported directly to the garbage purchase station as scrap iron. If it is an antique but rust like this, its value will definitely not be high, and there is no need to collect it.

"Susu..."

However, Yu Feibai also learned his lesson. He first took a rag and rubbed it hard on the furnace wall. After seeing that the rust spots could not be rubbed, he confirmed even more: "This is real rust, not fake."

"Yes, it's really rust."

After studying Tang Qinghua and Pi Qiushi, they also agreed with Yu Feibai's judgment.

Wang Guan had no doubts about this. After all, the rust spots on the wall of this large incense burner did not have any signs of peeling off. Instead, they were tightly attached to the wall, forming a hard shell.

Of course, some people admire the rust spots of age and think it is "green and shiny" and the color is very beautiful and full of ancient meaning. There is no such rust on the utensil, but it is not beautiful. Unfortunately, the rust on the body of this large incense burner is not that green color, but black and with bumpy brown eyes, which is very ugly.

"Wang Guan, it seems that your intuition this time is not accurate." Yu Feibai smiled.

"Yeah."

Wang Guan pondered for a while, pulled a wooden stick in the corner of the yard, and gently knocked on the furnace.

"Dongdong!"

The sound was dull, but the layer of rust spots was still tightly attached to the furnace wall, with no trace of falling off at all, only some dust and debris fell down.

Seeing this, Wang Guan frowned and felt a little surprised.

"That's right, this is really rust. Even if you use a knife to scrape it, it probably won't be scraped off." Yu Feibai said: "If you don't give up, you can buy some rust remover to try it."

Wang Guan nodded and began to ponder. He was hesitating whether to use his special abilities to peek at the secrets of heaven directly.

At this moment, Mr. Qian said, "There is something wrong with the things."

“Huh?”

Everyone was shocked and looked over quickly, only to see Mr. Qian pondering: "The voice is wrong."

"Old Qian, what's wrong with the voice?" Yu Feibai asked hurriedly: "I think it's normal. When knocking, the sound is low and hoarse, not as melodious and loud as a fine stove."

"You are right, and it must be like this in general." Qian smiled and said, "However, your experience is not enough. When you accumulate more, you will find the nuances."

"Subtle difference?" Yu Feibai said inexplicably: "What is that difference?"
