Mr. Gu is highly respected and never accepts disciples easily.
He has been working at the Palace Museum Research Institute since 1956. He is an expert in the research and identification of bronzes and ancient characters, and is known as the "No. 1 bronze identification expert" both at home and abroad.
Therefore, when these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
The little girl was lucky. She not only found the lost Northern Wei painted pottery figurines, but also discovered the stone drums.
He instantly won Mr. Gu's favor.
This is truly an opportunity that cannot be stopped!
Several researchers who had just started working looked at Jiang Mingxin enviously, feeling both jealous and admiring.
After all, none of them had suspected Zhang Jinzong before.
I couldn't figure out why the Northern Wei Dynasty painted pottery figurines were stolen. I was blinded by one thing and failed to find any clues.
As soon as Jiang Mingxin showed up, he found the thing.
I have to say, it's really impressive.
But none of them expected that Jiang Mingxin would directly refuse.
"Mr. Gu, I'm very sorry that I can't accept you as my disciple. Although I like cultural relics, I'm far from being able to treat it as a career. I only treat appraisal as a hobby. I hope you don't mind."
Mr. Gu looked disappointed.
But everyone has their own aspirations, and he didn't force them.
"What a shame, what a shame! You're such a promising young man, but you can't be my apprentice. It's such a shame. But since you work for the National Security Bureau, you're also serving the country. I shouldn't be obsessed with it."
He patted Jiang Mingxin's hand and said, "Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Beijing. Could you stay a little longer and spar with me?"
Lao Fan, Xiao Lu and Bai Ling all gasped in shock at how polite everyone was to her.
Were they too loud to Jiang Mingxin before?
Jiang Mingxin smiled helplessly: "To tell you the truth, I'm from Henan Province. I came to Beijing City to carry out a temporary mission. I thought it was exaggerated that we didn't rest, but I didn't expect you to not rest during the New Year."
Gu Lao looked at her lovingly and said, "Several national treasures will be on display after the New Year. In order not to delay the exhibition, we ended our vacation early and returned to work."
He was so fond of talented people that he was reluctant to let Jiang Mingxin go.
He insisted that she leave her contact information and gave her a set of exquisite commemorative albums of the institute before he would let her go.
Lao Fan and Xiao Lu were responsible for escorting Zhang Jinzong and Xiao Qiu back to the bureau.
Bailing and Jiang Mingxin got into another car.
Before getting in the car, Zhang Jinzong frowned and looked at Jiang Mingxin: "What does the SB on Xiao Qiu's silver-covered gold ring mean? Why do you think it's a cultural relic that Lu Qinzhai stole just by looking at those two letters?"
Jiang Mingxin raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Sabina bertain.”
"When Lu Qinzhai was 30, he married a 15-year-old girl, but he also had an affair with her mature and beautiful mother-in-law. Sabina Bertain was his mother-in-law's name."
"This ring was a gift he gave to Sabina Bertain, and she kept it for many years. However, Lu Qinzhai's good fortune didn't last long, and his antique shop in Gaul closed down. Sabina Bertain sold the ring after his death."
Zhang Jinzong suddenly understood.
"I see. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable at such a young age. Who is your teacher?"
Jiang Mingxin chuckled from his throat: "You are not qualified to know."
Zhang Jinzong looked as if he had been slapped in the face, his face turning blue and red.
He knew that this circle placed great emphasis on inheritance and background. If he hadn't lost out in terms of family background at the beginning, how could he have used any means to climb up?
My late master also used to sell antiques privately.
But he was never caught until his death.
After all, I was one step behind and my skills were inferior to others!
When he arrived at the National Security Bureau, Zhang Jinzong confessed everything he should confess.
He also confessed to stealing cultural relics from the institute and selling confidential documents.
Provide the name and identity of the contact person and their contact information.
He only prayed that his son would not be harmed and hoped that the country would give him a chance to redeem himself for his crime.
Jiang Mingxin didn't need to get involved in the subsequent matters, so Bailing simply invited her to eat roast duck.
Because the earliest train back to Shendu would not be available until tomorrow morning, Jiang Mingxin had no choice but to wait.
What a coincidence, I actually met Lin You in Daoxiang Village.
Lin You held Niu Niu's hand with her left hand and a Pekingese in her right hand. Both of them had crocheted scarves knitted by her around their necks.
Before the two of them came close, Jiang Mingxin recognized them at a glance.
She greeted Bailing and sat down in front of Lin You.
"Oh my God—"
"Mingxin?"
Lin You stared at her in surprise for a long time, and when he was sure that he was not dreaming, he immediately handed the Pekingese to Niu Niu and walked forward to hug her.
"Why did you come to Jing City? That brat Haodong is too tight-lipped!"
Jiang Mingxin raised a bitter smile: "He didn't bring me here, I came here for business."
Anyway, Lin You knew that she had joined the National Security Bureau, so he told her the whole story.
Hearing that an explosion had occurred in her home on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin You was so scared that she kept touching her chest.
"Criminals are rampant. Fortunately, the person is dead. Since you've come to Beijing, why are you still staying in a guesthouse? Go home!"
After saying that, he pushed Niu Niu in front of her and squatted down to introduce them to each other.
"Niuniu, your scarf was knitted by this beautiful auntie, come on and call her auntie!"
Niu Niu is a chubby little girl with a rosy and tender face. When she smiles, her eyes narrow into a pair of crescents.
