Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

After joking, Chen Yang said that antiques are all about stories. Anyway, this is a cabinet from the mid-Qing Dynasty, and it was used by the royal family, so I will make up the story. Anyway, those who sell antiques have all made up stories. Antiques are just stories. The things are real anyway, so what are you afraid of!

"If you say that, I think [-] yuan is too little," Song Qingyun chuckled from the side, "A painting cabinet used by three emperors, [-] yuan is not worth it!"

In the end, the three people discussed it, and Boss Chu decided to estimate the price at [-] yuan. He was absolutely satisfied with the price. Since someone sent someone to pick it up, this one item might not be enough. Boss Chu found a few more wooden items. Anyway, he could sell whatever he wanted. As long as he sold this cabinet, he could earn back all the money for these items. .

Song Qingyun said that he was not afraid even if the auction failed. If he didn't want to ship it back, he could find someone in the capital to help Boss Chu. Boss Chu expressed his gratitude. Chen Yang took the pen holder and looked at it, and then asked Boss Chu, "Boss Chu, this pen holder..."

Before Chen Yang finished speaking, Boss Chu raised his head and glanced at Chen Yang, "I accidentally picked up that pen holder from someone else's junk pile. When I came back, I found out that it was carved from bamboo. The bamboo carving is not bad. If Boss Chen If you like it, take it!"

For free? Chen Yang looked at the pen holder in his hand. Boss Chu was quite generous. I wonder if he would take it back if he knew the value of the pen holder. But this is not to blame Boss Chu. In the northern region, there is not enough knowledge about bamboo carvings and they are not aware of the value of this object at all.

"Give it to me for free!" Chen Yang looked at Boss Chu with a smile, "Boss Chu, this is not good!"

"It's okay," Boss Chu smiled and waved his hand, "For my sake, you and President Song came here specially. A pen holder is not a good thing. Boss Chen, please be polite."

"In this way, let's go out for a meal. When we arrive here, it means we are on my territory. I will be the host, and neither of you can steal it!"

As he spoke, Boss Chu motioned for Chen Yang and Song Qingyun to follow him. Although there were no big restaurants here, there were still many specialty restaurants. There is a Muslim restaurant that does very good food and is not far from my place. Boss Chu is leading the way, and the three of them are talking as they walk.

As the three of them were walking forward, a stall was set up on the opposite street. Chen Yang didn't notice it at first. When the three of them crossed the road, Chen Yang accidentally turned his head and saw a stall standing in front of the stall. The young man was holding a jade pendant in his hand and looking at the light.

When Chen Yang saw the jade pendants in their hands, he narrowed his eyes slightly, stood there and turned around to look over carefully.

"President Song, this is the Halal Restaurant!" The restaurant was not far away from a few people. Boss Chu pointed at the restaurant and said to Song Qingyun, "Let me tell you, his fried noodles and spicy peppers protect the heart." The meat is delicious, and there are pies, oh!" When Boss Chu talked about his pies, he seemed to be so greedy that his mouth watered, "One bite of the pie, then another mouthful of mutton soup, and then another mouthful. The grilled strips are so fragrant!"

President Song looked at Boss Chu with a smile and said that he must try it today because he was afraid that Boss Chu would feel sorry for his wallet. When he turned around, he found Chen Yang standing there stunned, "Chen Yang, what are you looking at? Let's go!"

Seeing both of them looking at him, Chen Yang rolled his eyes and said, "You guys go first. I saw an acquaintance and went over to say hello. I'll come in to find you later." After speaking, Chen Yang raised his leg and walked towards Walking across the street, "Remember to order me a pie and lamb soup!"

"This kid actually knows how to eat delicious food!" Song Qingyun and Boss Chu walked into the restaurant, while Chen Yang ran to the stall opposite.

The stall is not big, and there are a bunch of old things on display, mostly jade. There is also a glass in the corner of the stall. There were not many people in front of the stall. When Chen Yang came over, the young man had already put the jade pendant in his hand back far away. No one grabbed it, which was exactly what Chen Yang wanted. He squatted down and took the jade pendant in his hand to look at it. got up.

This jade pendant is very special. It is a fish-shaped box jade pendant, and seven beads are connected with gold wire. The jade box is carved from a whole piece of white jade, in the shape of a fish, divided into two parts, hollow, with two mouths. The jade ornament is rectangular, white and hollow. Carved from a single piece of jade, the fish body is carved with simple lines and is hollow. It can hold small items that you carry with you, such as spices, rouge, medicine, etc. It is both a decoration and a practical device.

Many Pisces jade pendants are actually two jade pendants carved into the shape of a fish. A hole is drilled at the mouth of the fish and they are strung together with a rope or chain. But this one is different. It is carved from a piece of jade, and the two parts can be put together. Chen Yang held a fish-shaped box and looked at the jade pendant. It was a round white jade carving, with eyes, gills, pelvic fins, tail and other details carved out with negative lines. The Pisces mouth was pierced and tied with a chain. The jade patina was also good. Although it was not big, it was still very comfortable to hold. It gives a warm feeling in the hand.

Liao Dynasty fish-shaped box jade pendant! Pisces are easy to touch, but jade boxes are hard to find. This is a good thing!

Chen Yang took the fish-shaped jade pendant in his hand and looked up at the boss. The man setting up the stall was not very old, that is, he was in his early forties, but he was a bit slovenly and had a beard. He was holding a cigarette in his mouth and was silent. , just looking at the people in front of the stall and letting them choose their own items.

"Brother, how do you sell this little thing?" Chen Yang asked his eldest brother, shaking the jade pendant in his hand.

The eldest brother glanced at Chen Yang, took a puff of cigarette, and said coldly, "Eight thousand, no bargaining!"

Before Chen Yang could say anything, the young man who was looking at something next to him hurriedly put down the things in his hands, looked at his elder brother and muttered, "I'm crazy about money. What the hell, just ask for eight thousand! I don't even dare to buy something new in the store." You want this price!”

"Hmph," the eldest brother snorted coldly, "Buying and selling, there is buying and selling, those who sell are asking for high prices, and those who buy are paid on the spot!" As he said, the eldest brother spit out the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot, "I The stuff is not comparable to the new stuff in the store.”

"If you can understand my items, you will naturally know their value; if you don't like them, it's useless for me to give them to you cheaply. Taking them back will be a waste!"

The young man looked disdainful, stood up and pointed at the glass next to him, "Stop blowing, you should change to a drinking glass first. The glass is rusty, and you will develop kidney stones if you drink from it!"

Seeing the young man leaving with disdain, Chen Yang smiled secretly. It seemed that he couldn't pick it up today. Judging from the attitude of the stall owner just now, this guy should also understand. As he said, if you know your stuff, this fish-shaped box jade pendant costs [-] yuan, which is really not expensive. If you buy it back and find an opportunity, you can easily double it, or even dozens of times, because it is a Liao Dynasty piece. Royal jade.

More than a thousand years ago, the sun once shone on an all-powerful nation in the north. They came roaring in with majesty, and a resounding name - Khitan - was vibrating in the air everywhere. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Khitan people have been active in the upper reaches of the Liao River. They established a strong local government at the end of the Tang Dynasty. In 907, when the Tang Dynasty fell, the Khitan Kingdom was established. It was later renamed Liao and ruled northern China. The Liao Dynasty first fought with the Northern Song Dynasty, and "Chanyuan" After the "Alliance", the two sides maintained peace for more than 100 years. At the end of the Liao Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe rebelled, and the Liao Empire quickly came to an end. It was destroyed by the Jin in 1125, and the rest established the Western Liao Kingdom, which lasted for 93 years.

The past of more than 200 years is like a glimpse in the long river of history. Only the legends of Daliao are left on the empty land, and these cultural relics bear witness to the glory of Daliao.

Since you are an expert, don't worry, you have to play psychological warfare. So Chen Yang did not rush to negotiate the price, but squatted in front of the stall with the jade pendant in his hand and continued to read. A few of them looked like they were fakes. Although the jade was of good quality, they were all made in modern times and the workmanship was quite rough. They looked fake at first glance.

Chen Yang squatted on the ground and moved his feet, looking at each item. When the elder brother saw Chen Yang's appearance, he took out a box in front of him and took out a jade pendant from it. "Expert, look at this!" The elder brother said The box was opened and placed in front of Chen Yang.

The jade pendant is smooth and flawless. It is made of a pair of flying cranes with carved and incised lines. The cranes hold Ganoderma lucidum grass in their mouths, the tips of their beaks face each other, their legs are merged and crossed, and their wings are flying together in a symmetrical shape. The shape is simple and lively, and the carving is vivid and powerful. The moment he saw the jade pendant, Chen Yang's eyes lit up and he reached out and took the jade pendant out of the box.

In the Jin Dynasty, there was a kind of jade called Yu Xiaoyao. It was a kind of jade ornament sewn on the scarves and hats of elderly women, with one side open-carved and a symmetrical pattern. This white jade ornament with double cranes and Ganoderma lucidum is a jade Xiaoyao. The two cranes stand facing each other, holding Ganoderma lucidum in their mouths, crossing their legs, dancing gracefully, spreading their wings and ready to fly, which is very beautiful.

There is another piece of this object in the Capital Museum, which is almost identical to the one in front of you. Chen Yang looked at the fish-shaped box jade pendant in his hand, and then at the jade pendant. Neither of the two jade pendants was fake. It looked like they had been unearthed for decades. One was from the Liao Dynasty and the other was from the Jin Dynasty. Chen Yang He took the jade and started thinking about it.

"How about it, young man, if you want both of them together, I can give you a cheaper price!" The elder brother said with a smile and handed Chen Yang a cigarette.

Chen Yang took the cigarette and held both items in his hands. Don't worry about the price. Anyway, as long as he doesn't put it down, at least no one will be able to buy it!

"Brother, don't worry, you have a lot of items, I'm picking through them!"

As he spoke, Chen Yang glanced at the glass the young man was talking about just now. Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat, no way!
