The antique shop of the rich fake master

Things are getting weirder and weirder.

It's just that Qu Qiuli didn't have the good luck to participate in the restoration and research of the oracle bone inscriptions this time.

He was sent by Mr. Yin to study those bamboo slips. Under the operation of Qu Qiuli's time travel, the bamboo slips were preserved very well in the bronze box, so the text on it needed to be translated and what was said inside.

Zhouchao's characters are different from the traditional characters imagined by ordinary people, and it can be said that they are almost completely another kind of characters.

When Qu Qiuli was in modern times, he could only look for information in various places, and followed up on the Internet, so that he had some foundation to deal with those Zhou Dynasty people.

It is precisely because he has this foundation that when he was looking for someone to teach him, apart from the difficulty in finding books, everything else went smoothly.

It was during that time that Mr. Yin accidentally bumped into him studying Zhouchao characters.

At that time, Elder Yin praised him for his talent, so he was given such a job now.

But Qu Qiuli felt a little bald.

Among modern people, Qu Qiuli is the most familiar with Zhouchao characters, hey... But he can't say that he can read it all with the bamboo slips, let alone know them all.

Even Mr. Su Yanqing, who has the deepest study of Zhou Dynasty characters, can't do it, let alone a brat like him.

After all, there are many texts in it that have not been discovered by archaeology.

So what should he do?

So I can only pretend to look for information from the Internet or various books and papers, and translate word by word. As for those words that have never appeared before, then contact the context, first guess with a blindfold, and decide a word. About the meaning.

Qu Qiuli has worked very hard in this job. The colleagues in the same group are all talented people. He occasionally reads out the bamboo slips by accident.

This is a habit he developed in Zhou Dynasty, and he can't get rid of it for a while.

No matter how quietly you read, you will be heard, and then a large group of people will gather around and ask questions.

"Why is it read like that here?"

"This word, I think it is very similar to a word before, almost exactly the same, why do you pronounce it in a different pronunciation now?"

"If this word is to be translated in this way, the meaning of this sentence will change. Are you sure?"

"Will there be the possibility of polyphonic characters like modern times?"

"There are no punctuation marks, are you sure the sentence is correct here?"

……

Qu Qiuli's head was numb.

You ask him why this word is pronounced that way?

Because that's what the gentleman he found in Zhouchao taught him.

For example, if you ask someone why one plus one equals two, how do you want them to answer you?

So at this time, Qu Qiuli could only vaguely say, but these were big bosses, and he didn't dare to fool around casually.

"What I mean is, I will first compare and translate the words one by one based on my concepts. As for the sentence breaks and explanations, we will discuss them later. What do the teachers think?"

Just like reading a book, after reading the full text, I will explain the meaning of the text.

It makes sense, and the big guys agree.

There were a lot of bamboo slips excavated this time, and everyone got a part. After Qu Qiuli's suggestion, they basically did their own thing. When they encountered problems that were really impossible to solve, they gathered together to discuss with each other.

This bamboo slip research center has a strong academic atmosphere.

Even those soldiers like to come to stand guard here, just like to listen to their various disputes and discussions.

These are all cultural people.

This is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that so many and well-preserved ancient books and texts have been excavated.

After the report, the top leaders of the country have been alarmed.

If it weren't for them to fight against all opinions here, it is estimated that many staff members will have to be added.

There are only so many positions in total. It’s okay to have a few big bosses who specialize in this dynasty, but it’s not good if there are too many people. This ancient tomb was excavated by them from the beginning, and they can’t let others take their place. .

They also want to participate in the excavation of the entire ancient tomb from beginning to end, and want to witness these lost ancient cultures gradually surface.

There were no more staff members, but the media still came a lot.

They are all national media, either local satellite TV or CCTV. As for other media wanting to interview, they did not accept them at all.

This ancient tomb is really too big, and there are still many places that have not been excavated or discovered. It is impossible for too many outsiders to come here to disturb the archaeological work.

Even the official media can only conduct filming and interviews in fixed places.

But even so, there are still welcomes and send-offs in this mountain recently. It is estimated that this mountain has never been so lively.

In addition to the media, there are also various local leaders who will come to visit.

Especially the leaders of the province here, they belong to the northwest, and the development is not as good as that of the central provincial capital.

The cemetery was discovered here, and there is a high probability that it will be developed into a scenic spot in the future, which will more or less increase the GDP of the entire province.

So now the problem comes.

Because the identity of the owner of the tomb has not been determined, the attitude of the higher-ups towards the construction of the scenic spot is rather ambiguous.

Building a scenic spot is not a small matter, nor is it a small amount of investment. The place is too remote, and there are no other scenic spots around here, and the flow of people cannot come up.

So the original meaning of the above is to transfer all the cultural relics to the Provincial Museum for exhibition, and then circle the cemetery, make a small scenic spot, collect a small ticket, receive primary and middle school students from surrounding counties for spring and autumn outings, and then pick up individual tourists on weekdays. That's about it.

As long as you don't lose money.

But the problem is that a whole box of ancient books on bamboo slips has been unearthed, which is of extraordinary historical research value, not to mention the discovery of oracle bones in the interlayer of the coffin later.

The value of the ancient tomb is too high.

So now the higher-ups are considering whether to choose private capital injection and joint development with the state.

But it's still an old problem. Businessmen value profits. This place is too remote, with high investment and low returns. Even if the news spread, it hasn't attracted much attention so far.

In short, this matter has to be studied slowly.

Qu Qiuli stayed here on the mountain for two whole months, and spent these two months on translating the bamboo slips.

For him, being truthful was a bit of a waste of time.

Fortunately, after this period of joint efforts, all the bamboo slips have been translated, and now only the textual research is left.

Because apart from Qu Qiuli, no one is sure that his translation is accurate.

The matter of textual research has nothing to do with Qu Qiuli. At the suggestion of Mr. Yin, Qu Qiuli is going to publish a paper on the archaeology of the ancient tomb. He has been busy with this matter these days.

Their side is progressing smoothly, but the restoration of the oracle bone inscriptions has encountered difficulties.

A total of more than 2000 pieces of oracle bone fragments were excavated. It is very complicated to put together a puzzle. It is a test of people's patience and repair ability, but the key is that some places are too broken.

How do they fight this?

Apart from trying again and again based on the lines on the tortoise shell and the strokes of the engraved characters, there is no other way.

The most complex puzzle in the world is nothing more than that.

Elder Yin found Qu Qiuli again, "The translation here has been a while, and your thesis is not in a hurry, so the teacher has something to ask you to run errands."

Qu Qiuli was already used to it. It was already a great achievement for him, a non-staff member, to participate in the translation of the bamboo slips. He was just running errands.

Besides, he hasn't gone down the mountain for two months, and he feels like he's about to become a savage.

The environment is too harsh, and everything else can be persisted and tolerated, but some time ago his electric shaver broke down, and he has a cleanliness habit, so he never thought of borrowing it from someone he knows, so he hasn’t had it for a few days Shaved.

Although his body hair itself is relatively small, as a normal male, it is inevitable to grow a beard.

So Qu Qiuli's current image, coupled with his half-long and messy hair, dots of stubble, and casual clothes in the mountains, now exudes a decadent artist's atmosphere.

Well, it's still because of the good looks.

If it were someone else, it would not be a decadent artist, but a tramp.

So when he heard that he could go down the mountain, Qu Qiuli was a little excited.

"Teacher, what do you need me to deliver this time? Or pick something up?"

"Well, it's like this. I really need your help to deliver things." Elder Yin said seriously, "The things to be delivered this time are much more expensive than the wooden box given last time."

Qu Qiuli already had a guess, "Is it an oracle bone?"

Elder Yin nodded. The restoration of the oracle bones is an inevitable work, but their current manpower and ability are still limited, so they can't do it perfectly, and they are also worried about any accidents during the restoration.

Moreover, too much time has been spent on this, and there are still many cultural relics in the ancient tomb that have not been excavated.

In this deep mountain and old forest, if there is a heavy rain, if there is any other accident, it may cause a devastating blow.

So now the first priority is to excavate all the ancient tombs and protect the cultural relics. As for the restoration of the oracle bones, it will be handed over to others.

Both parties proceed simultaneously.

So after careful consideration and discussion, they decided to hire a particularly powerful foreign aid.

For this foreign aid, even Elder Yin would call him a teacher.

It's just that the status of this foreign aid is precious, and he is too old to be there in person. Someone needs to send the oracle bones there.

This person is none other than Qu Qiuli, a non-staff member. Qu Qiuli's character is reliable, and besides, there will be professional security guards along the way.

Absolutely nothing will go wrong.

"This is actually selfishness of the teacher." Elder Yin looked at Qu Qiuli, "You are a young boy, you can endure loneliness, and you have lived on the mountain for so long, it is really amazing."

Qu Qiuli smiled, "I also like these things myself. Isn't there a saying that if you treat your hobbies as your career, then you won't find it hard?"

Elder Yin patted Qu Qiuli on the shoulder, "Guess who is the foreign aid invited this time?"

"Is it Mr. Su Yanqing?" Qu Qiuli boldly guessed.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Yin Lao repeatedly clicked his tongue, "Why do you think you are so smart? I want to surprise you."

Qu Qiuli smiled embarrassedly, this old urchin.

Su Yanqing is a national treasure level cultural relic restoration master, and also has a deep research on the writing of the Zhou Dynasty. He is the most suitable person for this foreign aid, but he has retired now and has changed his seal.

Qu Qiuli missed a stamp on that variety show before.

Later, he also asked Chen Zhiwen to send a blue and white brush to wash it as a thank you gift.

However, since then, there has been no intersection.

People like Mr. Su are now retired and living in seclusion, so it is not so easy to get in touch with.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Yin gave him this opportunity now.

Mr. Yin patted Qu Qiuli on the shoulder, "This time you sent the oracle bones back, so you don't have to come here again. Your research on Zhouchao characters is also good. Take advantage of this time to learn more from Mr. Su. I have already I greeted you."

He valued Qu Qiuli as a student very much. If it wasn't for Qu Qiuli not planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination, he really wanted to accept Qu Qiuli as a closed disciple.

Talented and smart, I have nothing to say about his character.

It's just a pity that this is a society of personal feelings. There are still many masters and doctors in front of Qu Qiuli, so it is not good for him to let Qu Qiuli join this team, and it is not good to influence others.

So we can only take more care of these aspects.

Qu Qiuli's eyes lit up, "Thank you teacher, I will definitely study hard."

The opportunity to learn from a master like Su Yanqing may only come once in a lifetime, so you have to grasp it well.

"Okay." Elder Yin waved his hand, "Pack up your things, and I'll find out later here. I'll see if the situation requires you to come back. You also just go back and take a good rest for a while, and you've lost weight."

Full of love.

Qu Qiuli agreed warmly. After he took over the job of escorting the oracle bones, he immediately went back to his room to pack his things.

He still lives in the same room with Mr. Yin and Mr. Yin's assistant, and each of the three of them has a one-meter-wide folding bed.

His bed was near the window, and there were all kinds of small boxes under the bed.

It wasn't the luggage he brought over by himself, it was something that Lin Xiangyu had entrusted someone to deliver during this time, and it was entrusted by the aunt Ma in the village.

There are those souvenirs that have been delivered before, all kinds of long-lasting fruits and nuts, all kinds of cooked hot pots, and the inner layer that needs to be changed every day, as well as various toiletries.

Give it once a week, regardless of whether he can use it up or not, and whether he can eat it or not.

Anyway, rain or shine.

This person is really, looking for a sense of presence in him all the time.

He originally wanted to call Lin Xiangyu and tell him that he was going back, but after thinking about it, he decided to surprise Lin Xiangyu.

Qu Qiuli basically didn't take these things under the bed, so I left them to Mr. Yin and his senior brother, especially the box of disposable underwear, which is so convenient in this place.

He packed it up here, and packed all the oracle bone fragments to ensure that there would be no second damage caused by bumps on the way.

A group of people, each with a box on their backs, carefully descended the mountain.

After going down the mountain, Qu Qiuli felt the temperature down the mountain, and suddenly realized, ah, it turns out that spring has passed, and the early summer sun shone on his body, making it very warm.

I really don't know the years in the mountains.

I don't know how the research in his studio is going, and I have been busy recently, so I haven't contacted them.

But there was no contact with him, so it is probably still in progress.

This time back to An City, it is not like before to squeeze the high-speed rail.

This time since they went down the mountain, they were escorted by a special car, and Qu Qiuli was still a little nervous in the car.

This battle is really too big. If someone passes by their convoy, they might suspect that there are serious criminals in it, right?

Even the vehicles traveling with him will deliberately avoid it.

Tsk tsk tsk, Qu Qiuli said with emotion, he even followed these cultural relic fragments to pretend to be powerful once.

When we arrived in Anshi, it was already midnight, and the cultural relics hadn't been handed over yet, so no one could leave, we just waited for the staff of the Cultural Relics Protection Center to come and take over.

They have to be checked one by one. How many fragments are contained in each small box, and what the shape of the fragments are, these are all recorded.

The entire handover atmosphere was very serious, and everyone's every move was under surveillance.

I am afraid that there will be any mistakes in these precious cultural relic fragments.

Qu Qiu is very emotional in his heart, the country attaches so much importance to it, it is the spiritual pillar of their practitioners.

It wasn't until the sky was slightly bright that Qu Qiuli's eyelids were fighting, and the inspection was completed here.

The person in charge of the cultural relics center thanked Qu Qiuli, "It's really hard for you this time."

Qu Qiuli shook hands with him, "It's not hard, I'm just running errands, it's the teachers and the staff who are working overtime tonight."

The person in charge smiled, "Mr. Su will come over the day after tomorrow, so you should also come that day. Your teacher, Mr. Yin, told me that you will participate in the whole process of the oracle bone restoration."

Qu Qiuli held back his smile and tried his best to put on a steady look, "I will work hard and try not to hold you back."

"You, you." The person in charge is in his 50s and [-]s, how could he not see the excitement in the young man's heart, "Go back and rest early, so you can rest for two days."

After leaving the cultural relics center, Qu Qiuli didn't go back to the store, but took a taxi directly back to Lin's house.

As soon as the Lin family's aunt got up to prepare the family's breakfast, she saw that Qu Qiuli had returned.

"Hey, young master, come home so early, have you had breakfast?" This aunt has been in Lin's house for many years, and she grew up watching Qu Qiuli, and she also likes this polite young master very much.

Usually when cooking, I will favor him intentionally or unintentionally, and cook more things he likes to eat.

"I'm a little hungry, Auntie." Qu Qiuli sat down and took a breath, "You can get me whatever you want, I'll just fill my stomach. I haven't slept yet, and I'm very sleepy."

The aunt nodded again and again, and cooked him a yam porridge, with the small country pickles brought back some time ago.

Qu Qiuli ate with great relish. When he was on the mountain, he used this pickle to eat a lot, no matter how much he ate it, he never got tired of it.

"Don't tell me, this pickle is really good." The aunt saw that he was eating deliciously, "During this time, you have sent back so many local products, and both husband and wife love it very much."

Qu Qiuli was stunned, he didn't send it, and he didn't go down the mountain for more than two months.

Therefore, the person who sent these things must have been Lin Xiangyu asking for help from his fellow villagers, and then sending them in his name.

He smiled and said nothing.

This is all to take care of the feelings of parents.

Qu Qiuli ate breakfast, and after taking a half-day bus ride and staying in the cultural relics center for so long, the young man couldn't stand it any longer, so he went back to his room to wash up and fell asleep.

Not long after he fell asleep, Lin Xiangyu, who was used to getting up early and doing morning exercises, woke up.

He passed by the restaurant, "Auntie, are parents awake?"

He saw the uncleared dishes on the dining table.

"No, the young master is back." Auntie said. "The child may be tired and has a shaggy beard. Now he has gone back to his room and slept."

Lin Xiangyu looked upstairs, they hadn't seen each other for more than two months.

He knew that Ah Li was busy on the mountain, and he didn't dare to send more messages to disturb him, so they haven't made any progress in the past two months.

However, he is not in a hurry, as long as he comes back.

"Does the young master want to have breakfast now?" the aunt asked, "Do you want to have the same breakfast as the young master this morning? I think he eats very well."

Lin Xiangyu thought for a while, "No, I'm going to exercise first, and eat with my parents later."

When Lin's father and Lin's mother woke up and went downstairs to eat, Lin Xiangyu just came out to wash up after exercising.

"Look at our son." Lin's mother looked at the beautiful but not exaggerated muscles of the elder son, and couldn't help but praise, "What a good figure."

After she finished speaking, she took a special look at Father Lin's growing belly.

That look speaks for itself.

Back then, Father Lin also had such a standard and perfect figure.

"Ahem, didn't I come out of drinking and drinking?" Lin's father couldn't hold back, his wife still looked like a young woman in her 30s, but he himself had gained weight and found a perfect reason, "Then I Retire early and strive to get back in shape as soon as possible."

Lin Xiangyu watched his parents flirt, and felt extremely envious.

The child is old enough to want to date.

"How is Xiang Yu learning recently?" Since Father Lin plans to retire, he can't let his eldest son go. "I think with your IQ, you should be fine. It's almost time to work for me in the company."

Lin Xiangyu smiled, "Dad, I told you a long time ago that I have almost learned, and doing business needs to be done practically, I can't talk about it on paper."

This is in response to Father Lin's request.

Father Lin is very satisfied.

He had asked the teacher he was looking for for Lin Xiangyu before, and the teacher said that his son is very smart, and he can draw inferences from one knowledge point, which is good for business.

They all knew that the eldest son was smart, but after all these years away from Lin's family, and not long after returning home, they were not familiar with all directions, and they didn't want to push the child into a hurry.

So I went to the company for an internship last year. After Lin's father and Lin's mother discussed it, they finally decided to take it step by step and let him learn more. He is not in a hurry to participate in work, so he can spend more time with Lin's mother at home.

Fortunately, the eldest son did not disappoint them.

"That's right! Ah Li is back." Lin Xiangyu said, "According to Auntie, he is probably tired and sleeping in his room."

Lin's father and Lin's mother also knew that his son went to archaeology, in the wilderness, and it was very hard work.

A lot of problems could have been solved with money power, but they all knew that the youngest son didn't like that.

Lin's mother nodded distressedly, "Then let him have a good rest. If you have nothing to do today, go to his room and have a look. Don't be tired and sick."

"I know, Mom."

Lin Xiangyu seemed to have received the imperial edict, after a few mouthfuls of breakfast, he went to Qu Qiuli's room openly.

The door of the room was not locked, so Lin Xiangyu opened it lightly and entered.

Qu Qiuli slept soundly, and didn't notice anyone coming into the room recently.

The curtains were drawn tightly, and there were only dots of dim light in the room.

Taking advantage of this twilight, Lin Xiangyu tiptoed to Qu Qiuli's bedside.

It can be seen that Ah Li is really tired during this time.
