    Since this hotel is quite famous, Meng Zitao didn¡¯t feel too surprised that Zhang Jingqiang and himself stayed in the same hotel.  But when he saw the old man standing next to Zhang Jingqiang, he couldn't help but muttered, "What a coincidence."

    Because this person is the old man named Jin who was at the rubbing booth just now.

    "Why is he here?"

    With this in mind, Meng Zitao walked up to him, and after saying hello, he asked politely: "Mr. Zhang, who is this?"

    Zhang Jingqiang introduced the two parties with a smile. After learning the other party's name, Meng Zitao immediately understood why the stall owner was so polite to the old man just now.

    The old man¡¯s name is Jin Qifu. He is a master collector of ancient books in Jinling and a nationally renowned expert in appraising rare ancient books.

    After a few pleasantries, Jin Qifu asked: "Xiao Meng, have we met just now?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Yes, I was right next to you just now."

    "I just said it looks familiar." Jin Qifu smiled and glanced at the box Meng Zitao was holding. He felt a little strange why Meng Zitao bought the contents in this box, but he didn't ask any more questions.

    Zhang Jingqiang didn't know the reason. Looking at Meng Zitao holding a box, he thought he had gained a lot, so he smiled and asked: "Xiao Meng, you have gained a lot today, right?"

    "It's okay." Meng Zitao said vaguely, because if he said it now, he would always be suspected of being slapped in the face by Jin Qifu.

    Zhang Jingqiang knew Meng Zitao¡¯s achievements during this period. After hearing this, he thought that Meng Zitao must have missed it again. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly: "Xiao Meng, can you show me the things?"

    Meng Zitao was speechless and thought to himself, aren¡¯t your words making me offend others?  Of course, Zhang Jingqiang didn't know about this, so he couldn't blame him.

    Youdao is a man who has matured with age. As soon as he saw Meng Zitao's hesitant look, Jin Qifu understood what was going on. He was originally curious about Meng Zitao buying this box of rubbings, but now that he knew that he might have made a mistake, he felt in his heart  Even more curious.

    So, he smiled and said: "Xiao Meng, in our line of work, mistakes are common, so you don't have to worry about me."

    Hearing this, Zhang Jingqiang immediately knew that his curiosity had almost offended Meng Zitao, so he smiled at Meng Zitao sheepishly, and then he immediately led everyone to the restaurant and asked for a private room.

    After asking the waiter to wipe the table again, Meng Zitao took out the rubbings and asked the two of them to appreciate them.

    Seeing that Meng Zitao was so careful, Jin Qifu took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on. Then he took a book of rubbings and opened it. He suddenly looked stunned and his face was full of disbelief.

    On the other side, Zhang Jingqiang also wore gloves and took a book to read, but it was obvious that he had not done much research on rubbings. When he saw Jin Qifu's expression next to him, he felt itchy and he quickly asked: "Xiao Meng  , what kind of rubbing is this?"

    "Xiping Stone Scripture." Meng Zitao replied with a smile.

    Zhang Jingqiang asked with some confusion: "Xiping Stone Scripture? What is this?"

    Meng Zitao explained with a smile: "The Xiping Stone Classic is also called the Eastern Han Dynasty Taixue Stone Classic. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to maintain his dominance, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered the correction of Confucian classics and sent Cai Yong and others to compile the Seven Confucian Classics (  "Lu Shi", "Shang Shu", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", "Gongyang Zhuan", "Ritual" and "The Analects of Confucius") were copied and carved into stone books. It took a total of 8 years to carve into 46 stone tablets. Each stone tablet is 3 meters high.  Much, more than 1 meter wide.¡±

    "The Xiping Stone Classic is the earliest official Confucian classic engraved on a stone tablet in my country. Because its fonts are all in official script, it is also called the 'One Body Stone Classic'. Because it is the earliest stone-engraved version of a Confucian classic in the history of our country, it has It has very high academic research value and is also a precious material for studying calligraphy of the Han Dynasty."

    After hearing Meng Zitao¡¯s explanation, Zhang Jingqiang asked in surprise: ¡°Since this thing is so important, why haven¡¯t I heard of it before?¡±

    Meng Zitao said: "There is no way. It was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Shortly after the Xiping Stone Classic was established, Dong Zhuo burned down the Luoyang Palace Temple, and the Stone Classic was already destroyed. By the time of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the stone tablet was moved from Luoyang to  In Yedu, the stone tablet fell into the water halfway, and less than half of it was transported to Yedu."

    "During the Kaihuang reign of the Sui Dynasty, it was transported from Yedu to Xijing, but the construction department actually used stone tablets as the foundation stones of the pillars. By the time of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, when Wei Zheng went to collect the remaining stone scriptures, they were almost completely destroyed."

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t until the Song Dynasty that fragments of stone scriptures were occasionally unearthed. Later, some fragmentary fragments of stones were gradually discovered in Luoyang and Xijing.There were hundreds of pieces of residual stone unearthed at the site, with a total of 8,275 words according to statistics.  So far, more than 600 words have been unearthed and collected, bringing the total to more than 8,800 words.  "

    At this time, Jin Qifu raised his head and took over the words: "These remnants of stones are now collected in several national museums and scattered abroad. In addition, Chinese studies are not popular now, so of course not many ordinary people know about it."

    Zhang Jingqiang¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°In other words, these rubbings are very precious?¡±

    Jin Qifu said: "Whether it is rare or not depends on the version of which period. If the version is good and the rubbings are not found now, then it is precious."

    Zhang Jingqiang asked: "When were these rubbings taken?"

    Meng Zitao replied: "I looked through it earlier. It should be a rubbing from the Song Dynasty. Whether it is true or not needs to be carefully identified. As for whether it is a rubbing that has not been found before, I don't know much about it. I need to  I only found out after checking the relevant information.¡±

    Speaking of this, he secretly thought, if nothing else, these rubbings should contain contents that have not been discovered so far, otherwise, they would not be worth four to five million.

    Jin Qifu took a brief look at the remaining rubbings and said, "The identification seal on this should be authentic. No surprise, it should be the Song Dynasty edition. Moreover, I have not read the contents of these rubbings before.  I've been there, it's probably an only copy. If it can be confirmed, then these rubbings are all treasures!"

    At this time, he felt a little upset. He had obviously discovered these rubbings, but because he didn't read them all, he missed out on these treasures. He felt depressed just thinking about it.

    Seeing Jin Qifu¡¯s depressed look, Zhang Jingqiang said quickly: ¡°As the old saying goes, people make mistakes and horses stumble. After all, we are not machines, and there will always be times when we are careless.¡±

    Meng Zitao took over and said: "Mr. Zhang is right. Usually when I see these 'touched' things, I don't take a closer look. Today I was just curious, and I was lucky enough to get it. Otherwise  These treasures are still in the hands of that boss."

    Jin Qifu has rich experience in the antiques industry and has seen all kinds of storms, so he immediately adjusted his mentality and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I am a bit unlucky. Xiao Meng, can I make a presumptuous request?  Can you give me some rubbings? Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you whether it's money or things."

    Meng Zitao didn¡¯t think too much and agreed with a smile: ¡°Mr. Jin, I mainly like to collect cultural objects. Of course, these rubbings can be transferred to you.¡±

    Seeing that Meng Zitao agreed to the transfer, Jin Qifu was extremely happy, but Zhang Jingqiang next to him was a little anxious: "I say Mr. Jin, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone. Do you think everyone who sees it has a share?"

    "Everyone who has seen it has a share!" Jin Qifu blew his beard and glared: "You don't know much about rubbings, so why argue with me?"

    Zhang Jingqiang chuckled and said: "I really don't know much about rubbings, but well, I buy antiques more for investment. Of course you can't miss these treasures with huge appreciation potential!"

    Jin Qifu angrily scolded: "You guys, all you think about is money. There are too many people like you in this industry now, and it has created a smoky atmosphere, full of the smell of copper, and all kinds of monsters and monsters have come out."

    Zhang Jingqiang said with a smile: "These are just side effects. It is precisely because of the participation of swindlers like us that the price of antiques has increased. Speaking of which, the advantages actually outweigh the disadvantages."

    "If you ask me, the atmosphere is still better than before." Jin Qifu muttered.

    Meng Zitao snickered. He believed that Jin Qifu was just complaining when he said this. Just like many people on the Internet miss the simplicity of the 1970s and 1980s, but if they were really allowed to go back to that time, they would face the poverty-stricken people.  I don¡¯t know how many of them are happy with life.

    Next, Zhang Jingqiang gave him a hard time, but Jin Qifu had no choice but to say: "Why are you so shameless? I definitely can't give these rubbings to you. Let's do this. I still have some bronzes at home. You can do it later."  Go pick something you like.¡±

    Zhang Jingqiang salivated and said, "Can't you pick a few more items?"

    Jin Qifu glared angrily: "You kid, don't push yourself too hard. It would be great if I could pick one for you. No matter how crooked I am, I won't give you one."

    When Meng Zitao heard this, he winked at Zhang Jingqiang. After being reminded, Zhang Jingqiang understood after a moment's thought that Jin Qifu's main collection was rare ancient books. The bronzes that he left behind must be extraordinary things.  , even more precious than these rare ancient books.

    After thinking about this, Zhang Jingqiang quickly said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Jin."

    "Hmph!" Jin Qifu snorted, and then said to Meng Zitao: "Xiao Meng, I don't know if you want things or money?"

    Meng Zitao thought for a moment and then raised his hand to Jin Qifu: "Mr. Jin, I wonder if I would be lucky enough to visit your collection?"

    Jin Qifu smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. When Xiao Liu comes, we will go to my house."

    Zhang Jingqiang said: "Aren't you going to have breakfast?"

    Jin Qifu said: "Nonsense! If you don't want breakfast, why am I here? Or, are you not going to invite us?"

    Zhang Jingqiang chuckled: "How can this be done, waiter, take your order" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)"Xiao Meng, I don't know if you want something or money?"

    Meng Zitao thought for a moment and then raised his hand to Jin Qifu: "Mr. Jin, I wonder if I would be lucky enough to visit your collection?"

    Jin Qifu smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. When Xiao Liu comes, we will go to my house."

    Zhang Jingqiang said: "Aren't you going to have breakfast?"

    Jin Qifu said: "Nonsense! If you don't want breakfast, why am I here? Or, are you not going to invite us?"

    Zhang Jingqiang chuckled: "How can this be possible, waiter, take your order" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
