Almighty Appraiser

Chapter 398
What the girl said surprised the boy who was waiting for her to "make a decision", and also made the old man and his son feel a sense of crisis.

Although they didn't know who the boy's grandfather was, they all realized that if the boy listened to the girl's words and made the call, it almost foreshadowed that the bronze mirror in his hand would be lost.

Shen Yunfeng froze for a moment, he was also a little surprised by the girl's decision.

In his opinion, the girl will definitely let the boy sell the bronze mirror to someone with a higher bid, and Shen Yunfeng is also ready to raise another one, and then expose the old man's deception.

Shen Yunfeng would never have imagined that just now when he saw the girl and the boy, he suddenly remembered the time when he was with Jiang Qinan, and the subconscious smile "misled" the girl's decision.

"Let's forget it. If grandpa knows that I'm going to sell this thing, he will definitely break my legs." The boy's answer made Shen Yunfeng, the old man and his son have different ideas in their hearts.

It is nothing more than spending more money, and there is still hope for the bronze mirror.

The middle-aged man thought to himself, and then looked at Shen Yunfeng coldly.

He knew that this "Master Shen" was an uncertain factor standing in front of his father and son. If he wanted to buy the bronze mirror, he would have to pass "Master Shen".

If I knew this would be the case, I should have promised them yesterday to buy [-] bronze mirrors.

The old man kept silent, regretting in his heart.

The girl's heart is not bad, and there is still hope.

Shen Yunfeng laughed when he thought of this.

The middle-aged man who was just about to persuade the boy to make a decision earlier exchanged a look with his father.

At the same time, they smelled a hint of uneasiness from Shen Yunfeng's laughter.

Shen Yunfeng glanced at the old man and the middle-aged man, walked up to the boy and the girl, and said calmly: "Little brother, can you let me see your bronze mirror?"

The boy hesitated and hugged the bronze mirror even tighter.

The girl looked at Shen Yunfeng, pursed her lips, and said to the boy, "Let him see."

The boy looked up at the girl, and said in his heart, I have no objection to you committing a nympho, but can you figure out what the situation is now?
"The country expressly stipulates that buying and selling bronze wares in private is subject to imprisonment," Shen Yunfeng said with a smile, "If you really want to make a move, maybe I can help."

He took out a card and handed it to the boy.

"I am a consultant of Caltex Auction House's Hanzhong branch. My contact information and company address are listed on it."

"Now, you should trust me, right?"

The girl took a look at the card and couldn't help exclaiming: "Shen Yunfeng!"

"At such a young age, you are actually a consultant for an auction company, so you must know antiques very well?"

Hearing that Shen Yunfeng was the consultant of the auction company, the expressions of the old man and his son became extremely ugly.

Almost like the weather this morning, can wring out the water.

"I dare not say I understand it very well," Shen Yunfeng said with a smile, "but at least, I know more than you two brats."

The girl curled her lips, put Shen Yunfeng's business card into the boy's hand, and said, "Let someone take a look, and by the way, ask him to tell me, is your grandpa's precious bronze mirror made last week, or is it just like what their father and son said? It's a high imitation fake."

"No fee, free consultation."

Shen Yunfeng said to the boy with a smile.

"Also, I can guarantee that when you go home, not only will your grandpa not break your legs, he might even agree to allow you to be with her."

The girl glanced at Shen Yunfeng shyly, and poked the boy who was staring at the business card in a daze.

"Okay, then let you see."

The boy stuffed the business card into his trouser pocket before handing the bronze mirror to Shen Yunfeng.

The old man and his son, the moment Shen Yunfeng took the bronze mirror from the boy's hand, knew that the idea that the two of them had worked so hard to find the leak was completely shattered.

A faint ray of primitive aura entered into the body through Shen Yunfeng's fingertips.

Shen Yunfeng glanced at the bronze mirror and nodded slightly.

Under the boy's expectant eyes, he said to him: "In order to avoid the next time, I will give you a brief introduction to the knowledge of the national bronze mirror."

"After I go back, I can tell your grandfather that his original decision was correct."

The boy was a little nervous, grabbed the girl's hand, and nodded heavily at Shen Yunfeng.

Shen Yunfeng pointed to the bronze mirror and said: "From the decorations and characters on the mirror, I can preliminarily conclude that this should be a bronze mirror from the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"As for the appearance of bronze mirrors, according to the sentence 'modify and look in the mirror' in the article 'Chu Ci. Nine Debates', it can be proved that bronze mirrors became popular at least during the Warring States period."

Shen Yunfeng was over there, calmly giving the girl and the boy the history of the bronze mirror, while the old man and his son standing beside them had constantly changing expressions, looking very depressed.

".Bronze mirrors have been used by people for more than 4000 years. It can be said that they are the ancient cultural relics that have been used for the longest and most widely used among various metal vessels in ancient China. It has had many impacts on people's daily life."

Shen Yunfeng didn't even look at the old man and his son, because there were bodyguards watching, so he was worried that they might make some unexpected moves.

"Then, since your bronze mirror has a history of more than 4000 years, why do you conclude that it is from the Eastern Han Dynasty and not earlier?"

The girl asked Shen Yunfeng very puzzled.

"Good question." Shen Yunfeng glanced at the girl appreciatively, and said to the boy, "It seems that you have a good vision, you should cherish it."

The boy looked at the girl, scratched his hair, and laughed.

Shen Yunfeng returned the bronze mirror to the boy, motioned him to put it away, and then continued: "Bronze mirrors from the Qi family culture to the Western Zhou Dynasty did not have, or did not obviously have the actual function of 'mirror'. Mainly, it is rare to see ornamentation."

"By the Warring States Period, the bronze mirrors at this time were fully in line with the concept and function of a 'mirror'. They were extremely exquisitely made, with numerous patterns, and delicate and expressive designs. They reached the first peak in the history of Chinese mirror castings and were comparable to the jade wares of the same era. The production is almost homogeneous and in sync.”

"And why do I conclude that your bronze mirror is from the Eastern Han Dynasty? This is based on the different characteristics of the three heydays of bronze mirror development."

Shen Yunfeng immersed himself in the role of "Science Popularization Ambassador". The bodyguard was loyal to his duty and kept paying attention to the actions of the old man and his son.

When he saw the old man and his son moving slowly towards the car parked far away, he coughed lightly and glanced aside in an insignificant way when Shen Yunfeng looked at him.

While continuing to talk about the development history of the bronze mirror, Shen Yunfeng casually followed the bodyguard's gaze, and saw the old man and his son, who had already opened the car door and got in.
