Almighty Appraiser

Chapter 541 Kou Boyang Visits

With the help of the young woman, Shen Yunfeng finally understood the meaning of the ambiguous words spoken by the old man for a long time: Master Shen, do you see that my bronze hob has something to do with Xi Shi?

Although the old man's eyes were full of hope and longing, Shen Yunfeng decided to tell the truth.

Because the treasure appraisal book in his mind had already told him the origin of this bronze vessel when his fingers touched it.

Therefore, if we have to say that it has something to do with Xi Shi during the Wuyue struggle for hegemony, it is only the time when this bronze 盉 was cast, and it all appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period.

After hearing Shen Yunfeng's appraisal result, the young woman looked at Shen Yunfeng somewhat complicatedly.

Even made a hesitant expression.

But in the end, she still told her grandfather verbatim that his long-cherished bronze 盉 should have appeared between the end of the Spring Banner period and the early Warring States period.

After the old man heard it, his wrinkled face showed the expression that Shen Yunfeng had expected a long time ago: dejected and extremely disappointed!

The expression of the old man also made Shen Yunfeng guess that it might be very difficult for Hengxing to get this genuine bronze scorpion into his pocket.

Sure enough, just as Master Chen came out of the quiet room and was about to open his mouth to ask the old man how much he was going to sell, the young woman put her ear to Grandpa's mouth.

After listening to it, the young woman also seemed to be a little surprised by what Grandpa said, and was more obviously taken aback.

But she reacted quickly.

"My grandfather said, please trouble the two masters." The young woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Yunfeng and said, "Originally we came here to leave this bronze 盉 in Hengxing, but my grandfather said that he suddenly changed his mind and was going to take it Donate it."

After saying this, the young woman's gaze stayed on Shen Yunfeng's face for three to five seconds, then she nodded slightly, put away the bronze scorpion, supported the already impatient grandfather, and walked slowly towards the outside of the store.

Master Chen sighed, and took a few quick steps to help lift the door curtain, while Shen Yunfeng followed behind the grandfather and grandson, and slowly sent them outside the door.

A car came from afar, and the driver got out of the car and together with the young woman helped the elderly man into the car.

The young woman held the door of the car with her back turned to Shen Yunfeng and made a gesture of getting into the car.

Just when Shen Yunfeng and Master Chen were about to go back to the store, the young woman suddenly turned around and walked over again.

His eyes first fell on Master Chen's face.

Master Chen understood in seconds, and went in after a haha.

"Actually, my grandfather once asked someone to appraise it. At that time, the very famous bronze ware appraisal expert concluded that the casting time of this bronze ware of my grandfather should be the same as the one found by Ma Lao. The bronze scorpion of Zhiqi Ji' was at the same period, and the possibility of appearing in the same tomb cannot be ruled out."

Shen Yunfeng knew what the young woman meant by these words, and he also noticed that the old man in the car had been looking at him through the window.

Shen Yunfeng said pointingly: "Fan Li, an important figure in Goujian's entrepreneurial team, once said a word, when the flying birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooked. Looking through the history books, we can find that after the State of Yue destroyed the State of Wu, Most of the people in the team did not end well, the advisor Wen Zhong was bestowed to death by Gou Jian, how could Xi Shi be an exception?"

"The saying that Fan Li and Xi Shi went away did not appear until the Tang Dynasty. It is conceivable whether it is true or not, but Mozi, who was not far from Xi Shi's time, once said, 'The sinking of Xi Shi is also beautiful.', and "Wuyue Spring and Autumn" states More clearly, it says, 'After the death of Wu, the more floating Xi Shi was placed in the river.', that is to say, Xi Shi was tied up by Goujian and sank to the bottom of the river."

"In the blink of an eye in 2000, only vessels like the bronze 盉 were left, and they were lucky to be able to see the world again."

Speaking of this, Shen Yunfeng cupped his fists and bowed slightly to the old man who had been looking at him, looked at the young woman with a faint smile and said: "That's all I can say, as for how to understand it, it's all up to the girl herself."

After speaking, he said goodbye and turned back to the shop.

The young woman was slightly stunned, raised her eyebrows and looked at the store door, and said, "I understand."

After saying these three words, she got into the car and left Liangma Antique Trading Market.

Master Chen was still bitter about not being able to buy the bronze scorpion until he got off work.

On the fourth day when Shen Yunfeng was on duty for Master Guo who had returned to his hometown to work, an unexpected visitor came.

Speaking of which, this guy is also a bigwig in the Liangma antique trading market, and rumors about him were once rampant.

When Shen Yunfeng first came to Liangma as an apprentice in Hengxing, he heard many legends related to the one in front of him.

Now, suddenly seeing that the other party didn't shy away from the industry rules of "no one is allowed to enter the company, reprimand is indecent", Shen Yunfeng and Master Chen were slightly taken aback for a moment when they opened the door openly and walked in.

The visitor is over 62 years old, but the spirit of the whole person, people who don't know, can't tell that he is [-] years old this year, and feel that he has just passed [-] at most.

"Master Shen, what's the matter, isn't Kou welcome?" Kou Boyang glanced at Shen Yunfeng with a smile, nodded at Master Chen, and sat on the chair self-consciously.

"Boss Kou is free to come to Hengxing today." Shen Yunfeng quickly realized, greeted Kou Boyang, the owner of the "uninvited guest" Laojuntang antique shop with a smile, and introduced Master Chen and the two of them.

"Before I came, I called Boss Liang." Kou Boyang took the tea made by Master Chen, pointed to the chair beside him and said to Shen Yunfeng, "Master Shen, sit down and chat."

Shen Yunfeng agreed, and sat down to hear why Kou Boyang came to find him.

And the most important thing that made Shen Yunfeng willing to sit down and chat with Kou Boyang was that Kou Boyang was rumored to be the heir of General Faqiu Zhonglang. Shen Yunfeng hoped that he could know whether the rumor was true or not from him.

"Master Shen, the relevant government departments are planning to excavate a large ancient tomb. Due to various reasons, some social forces are needed. I have already agreed. Are you interested in joining in?"

After Kou Boyang entered the door, the third sentence he said stunned Shen Yunfeng.

"I've known you before. You graduated from Han University majoring in archeology, so if you're willing to join, the major you're studying is actually very suitable."

Kou Boyang looked at the calm Shen Yunfeng and continued.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Kou? Why are you here?" Just as Kou Boyang finished speaking, Yuan Dongliang opened the door and entered.

Seeing a hale and hearty old man next to Shen Yunfeng, he thought it was a guest at first, but after a closer look, he recognized Kou Boyang, who had compared Shen Yunfeng's treasures, and couldn't help exclaiming.
