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

The glass the young man mentioned just now that the stall owner used to drink water was not a glass at all, but a crystal cup. This crystal cup has a slightly narrow mouth and a deep belly. The whole body is polished and smooth, without any grain or color. The cup body is thick and the cavity is deep, showing the skill of craftsmanship.

The mouth is decorated with symmetrical holes on both sides and is tied with a gold chain. The end of the gold chain is tied to a gold ring, and another gold chain connects the gold ring and the gold cover. The cover is shaped like a bamboo hat, engraved with pearls, and the top of the cover is decorated with radial floral patterns, showing the superb level of craftsmanship.

Are you...are you kidding me? When Chen Yang saw the crystal cup, he was stunned. Isn't this the Liao Dynasty gold chain crystal cup? Shouldn't it be lying in the warehouse of the Inner Mongolia Museum? Thinking again about the two jade objects from the Liao and Jin Dynasties that he was holding in his hands, he looked up at his elder brother. Did this guy steal the warehouse of the Inner Mongolia Museum?

The Liao Dynasty gold chain crystal cup, does it sound legendary at first glance, does it sound like a lie? Don’t think that the ancients were very backward. The wisdom of our ancestors is amazing. When 5 cultural relics were unearthed in our country, even archaeologists were very surprised. They seemed to be items left by modern people traveling through the past. One of them was , earlier than the crystal cup of the Liao Dynasty, it was the Warring States crystal cup.

In late October 1990, workers at the Gongnong Brick and Tile Factory in Shitang Village, Banshan Town, Hangzhou City, were taking soil to bake bricks when they accidentally discovered a small hole with a diameter of less than one meter. After receiving the news, the local cultural relics department immediately sent staff to the scene to collect the relics.

After cleaning and research by archaeologists, it was determined that this hoard belonged to the late Warring States Period. Qin and Han tombs have been discovered almost every year in the Banshan Town area since the 20s. Archaeological experts speculated that this hoard should not exist independently and that there should be other Warring States ruins nearby, so they organized a large-scale During the excavation, a large tomb of the Warring States Period was discovered nearby.

During the archaeological excavation of this Warring States tomb, when it was dug one meter deep from the ground, little crystal lights suddenly appeared in the soil. Half an hour later, a completely transparent crystal cup appeared in front of everyone. The Warring States tomb unearthed from this cultural relic is not considered large. Even this ancient tomb does not have a tomb, it is just an ordinary earth burial tomb.

When the archaeologists at that time saw the crystal cup, they didn't think it was a cultural relic at all. But why did a crystal cup appear in the ancient tomb?

Archaeologists have two opinions. One is that it was discarded by nearby residents. Due to running water and cultivated land, it reached the side of the ancient tomb and was dug out during archaeology. The other is that it was left by tomb robbers. Yes, but this was quickly denied, because not a single thief hole was found around.

Although it doesn’t feel like a cultural relic, it was found in an ancient tomb after all. You can’t just throw it away. The archaeological team leader at the time sent the glass to the capital in a responsible manner. After the archaeologist Su Bingqi The gentleman appraised it, "This is a cultural relic from the Warring States Period and a national treasure."

After listening to what Mr. Su Bingqi said, the big names in the archaeological and antique circles in Beijing were all crazy at that time. A crystal cup from the Warring States Period? What a joke! Of course, everyone knows what it will mean if it is determined that this crystal cup is from the Warring States Period. Later, after a group of experts studied it, they decided to put the crystal cup on the machine!

The laboratory measurement data is consistent with the estimated age of the artifact, which is approximately the middle to late Warring States Period. In other words, this is a crystal cup from the Warring States Period!

This Warring States crystal cup later became the treasure of the Hangzhou Museum. However, this cultural relic also has unsolved mysteries. First, there is no such high purity and such good crystal in our country; so until now, crystal The origin is still a mystery.

This matter spread instantly within the industry. The crystal cup from the Warring States Period, my God! While everyone was surprised, a staff member of the Inner Mongolia Museum suddenly remembered that in 1986, archaeological experts discovered an ancient tomb from the Liao Dynasty in Qinglong Town, Inner Mongolia, which was the burial site of Princess Yelv of Chen, the granddaughter of Emperor Jingzong of the Liao Dynasty, and her consort. In the tomb, experts found burial objects tied with gold chains and crystals.

Why was this crystal cup not taken seriously by anyone at that time? There is only one reason, and that is that when this ancient tomb was discovered, the tomb had already been stolen, and these three crystal cups were found near the robbery cave, so everyone Instinctively, I thought it was left behind by a tomb robber, so I didn’t take it seriously at all.

If there were crystal cups during the Warring States Period, then the three crystal cups found in the tomb of Princess Yelu of Chen State, the granddaughter of Liao Jingzong, might also be cultural relics! Thinking of this, people from the Inner Mongolia Museum began to look for this crystal cup. However, many years have passed and they can't remember where the crystal cup was placed at that time. They could only rummage in the warehouse. Unfortunately, it took a long time to find it. None were found.

Fortunately, I got in touch with the warehouse manager at that time. This manager was very responsible for his work. Although he couldn't remember where it was stored, he took notes and finally found this in a cabinet in the corner of the warehouse. Only crystal cup.

"Back then, when this crystal cup was delivered, it exuded a unique luster that had accumulated over thousands of years. It was not completely transparent, and showed a slight sense of mystery. At the bottom of the cup, there were traces of floc in varying degrees. The most significant. What’s special is that they all have a gilt cover and are tied with a gold chain.”

Chen Yang thought about what his friend said to him in the last life, and unconsciously walked towards the crystal cup, walked closer and knelt down to look at it. When the eldest brother saw Chen Yang looking at the crystal cup, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Just now, he had good eyesight, but a few minutes later, he actually became interested in this uninterested glass. Oops, he I really thought I could touch the Warring States Crystal Cup!

Chen Yang could tell that the crystal cup in front of him was exactly the same as the one in the museum. He had seen the one in the Inner Mongolia Museum at close range and had even taken photos of it. He had used the crystal cup at that time, so it was absolutely unmistakable. But where did this come from?

Thinking of this, Chen Yang reached out and picked up the crystal cup. It was not soaked, and the weight was right. It was really weird!

"Brother," Chen Yang smiled and put the crystal cup in his hand on the ground, "Everyone knows that the Warring States Crystal Cup is famous. It is understandable that you want to take the opportunity to earn two, but you are doing something decent."

"That crystal cup has a slightly open mouth, flat lips, straight sloping walls, and is more than ten centimeters high. This one looks like a bucket, but it doesn't look like it either!"

The eldest brother grinned and said that he didn't do this by himself. If he had that skill, he would be prosperous!

"Just these two pieces, let's talk?" Chen Yang held the two pieces of jade and asked his elder brother with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Yang was about to buy it, the eldest brother's eyes lit up and he became energetic instantly. He thought for a moment and said, "Originally, we were bargaining, but if I can buy two pieces, I'll give you a round number!"

Chen Yang looked at the finger extended by his elder brother and couldn't help frowning. He was thinking about how to get the crystal cup, and he was also thinking about the price. The price quoted for the two pieces of jade is a bit high, but this guy is a knowledgeable person. Even if he lowers the price, he won't be able to lower the price too much. He still has to get the crystal cup, which is a troublesome thing.

Chen Yang thought for a moment, pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "Brother, your price is a bit high, two pieces are half off!"

The eldest brother shook his head like a rattle, "You're too low, it's impossible! If you really want it, this is the number, and it can't be any lower."

"I can see that you are a knowledgeable person. You know the price of this item. If you think about it, you can count it for one piece." The elder brother stretched out his hand and made a sign, "I will combine the two pieces into one for you. Great discount.”

Chen Yang smiled secretly in his heart. If he could talk about the first step, he could talk about the second step. He gave himself so much at once, which meant that there was still a lot of room for bargaining.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang shook his head in embarrassment, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth, if I buy this item back and keep it for myself, I won't bargain with you."

"Don't I have to turn my hand to earn some money? You have to leave some space for me. You can't let me go in with my left hand and go out with my right hand. What's the point of it? Don't you think so?"

After listening to what Chen Yang said, the eldest brother still shook his head, "Listen to this, you are also a boss, so you are better than us shoveling land. As hard as we are, we still encounter landmines from time to time. You feel sorry for us too."

Shoveling the land: They do not open a store themselves, but only travel to rural areas to collect goods. After getting the goods, they sell them to various merchants. In some places, they are also called guerrillas.

Laying land mines: Some people think that there is nothing wrong with buying goods from farmers in the countryside, but they don't know that these goods are fake businessmen who deliberately cooperate with farmers to deceive people, so they are called laying land mines.

"Just these two items, you don't have to turn them around to make money after you get them. The price is not high!"

"How can I be as good as you said, big brother?" Chen Yang shook his head speechlessly, holding the jade in his hand, turned around and knelt down next to the big brother, and handed him a cigarette, "What kind of business is not tiring these days?" Damn it, do you think we can just set up a shop and people can come and go on their own?"

"Brother, tell me how many people are playing with this thing these days." Chen Yang helped his elder brother light his cigarette and squatted beside him to chat. "There are many rich people, but they also have many demands! Find one today For calligraphy and painting, I’m looking for a piece of porcelain tomorrow. If someone has money, I’ll ask several companies at the same time. Sometimes my peers will raise the price before I even see the item.”

Having said this, Chen Yang took a puff of his cigarette and said, "With these two items, I don't know if I will meet the right owner in a hundred years!"

"It's really not easy for you. You're exposed to wind and rain all day long. I'll give you some more. If you encounter something suitable in the future, you can keep it or send it to me." What do you think?" As he spoke, Chen Yang took out his business card from his bag and handed it to his eldest brother, "I want six thousand or two pieces."

The eldest brother had a cigarette in his mouth and took a look at Chen Yang's business card. It was not Chen Yang's name on it, but Zhu Zhu's name.

"Consignment house, this is interesting. This is the first time I've seen this name!" The elder brother smiled after reading it, and then put the business card in his pocket, "In that case, then let's do it, nine thousand!"

"Eight thousand!" Chen Yang opened the bag and took out a few bills, spat on his fingers, and began to count the money, "Brother, next time I have something good to sell, I will not bargain with you!"

"Oh, you little brother, you don't..." As the eldest brother spoke, the pager on his waist rang. Chen Yang pretended to count the money and took a peek. It was still Han Xian. Yes, these land shovelers are rich!

After reading the pager, the eldest brother frowned and looked around cautiously. A policeman not far away was strolling in this direction.

"In this way, you pay first, and I will pack the things. I can have a good meal today and find a comfortable place to sleep!" As he said this, the eldest brother packed things in a hurry.

This situation is wrong. Chen Yang frowned. What's going on? Don't pack your things. I haven't gotten the crystal cup yet! But since you're in a hurry, I might as well see if I can save some more.

Chen Yang pulled several pieces of money out of the bag, pretending not to understand, and counting the money back and forth in his hands. Seeing the police getting closer and closer, the elder brother felt a little panicked.

"Hurry up, I'm worried about something!" The eldest brother glanced at Chen Yang, who was counting money with his head down, and said anxiously.

"Brother, don't worry. I don't seem to have enough money. Why don't you wait here for me and I'll go to the bank to get it for you." Chen Yang said with four thousand yuan in his hand.

"How many are these?"

Chen Yang said that it was only four thousand. While talking, he pulled his eldest brother and said that he must wait for him. He also asked where there was a bank. The eldest brother grabbed the four thousand yuan from Chen Yang's hand and put it directly into his pocket. At this time, the police were not far away from him.

"Let's do this for now, you got a bargain today, these are all yours!" As he spoke, the eldest brother threw a big bag into Chen Yang's arms, turned around and left, not even taking the small stool under his butt, Crystal The cup was placed in front of the stool, and I didn't even have time to put it into the bag.

Chen Yang grabbed the crystal cup, stood up with the baggage and glanced at the direction the elder brother was leaving. He turned around and saw the policeman walking over. He knew in his heart that something was definitely wrong with the elder brother.

If I had known, I wouldn't have given him four thousand! Chen Yang picked up the baggage and turned around to leave. Suddenly he thought, "Fuck, why did I give him a business card? Why don't you come to me after this?"

Ignore these for now. Anyway, I got the jade and crystal cup. Chen Yang walked towards the hotel opposite with his baggage. Suddenly someone from behind called him, "Hey, the guy in front of you with the baggage, stand over there!"
