"Tongbao in the reign of Emperor Kangxi, I found these ten pieces after traveling all over ten miles and eight villages. Don't miss them when you pass by."

Yan Xiaoyue looked at it, and immediately laughed out loud, what nonsense Tongbao, the order of the words on it was printed wrongly, the real Kangxi Tongbao money face characters were written in regular script from top to bottom, right to left, and this dealer sold , just the opposite.

Leaving the noisy crowd, Yan Xiaoyue caught a glimpse of a silent man in the corner on the other side. There was only an antique mirror in front of the man. When he got closer, Yan Xiaoyue found that this mirror was a little different. After wandering around the street for so long, Yan Xiaoyue can still see some tricks, but if the mirror in front of her is said to be fake, then she can only say that it was too successful, the mirror surface is yellowish brown, a little uneven, it can It can be seen that it is made of yellow copper, and there are some corrosion marks near the edge of the frame, and there is even a crack. It can be seen that it has been a few years old, but part of the mirror is still shining.There is a wooden frame on the outer circle of the mirror. The frame is made of high-quality golden nanmu. Even after a long time of polishing, it still has the unique gentle luster of wood. A lifelike magnolia flower is carved on the top of the frame. In addition, there is no extra decoration, and the whole mirror looks very grand.

Yan Xiaoyue found that the man was not in a hurry to sell, but just glanced at Yan Xiaoyue lazily, looking a little tired, she tentatively asked the price.

Seeing that Yan Xiaoyue wanted to buy a mirror, the man's eyes shone with astonishing light, "Two hundred."

Two hundred is not too much, and it can even be regarded as a loss-making business. This mirror costs thousands of dollars for a single frame. After all, new wood does not have the luster of old trees. Anyone who knows the goods can see that this mirror is absolutely conservative. Not only two hundred, not to mention that this is an antique.

Yan Xiaoyue doesn't judge the year just by looking at it from the outside, but her antique radar tells her that this mirror is not simple.

"Can two hundred be less?"

The man hesitated, but agreed anyway.

Seeing the man agreeing so quickly, Yan Xiaoyue became suspicious, "What's the matter, brother, did this thing come from a dirty place? Or was it just dug out of the mud?"

Yan Xiaoyue's words made the man a little unhappy, he retorted: "What do you mean digging out of the mud? How can something so new come out of the mud? Let me tell you the truth, this mirror... belongs to my cousin, he He is a psychiatrist, he got sick for some reason a few days ago, he has to move, and asked me to help him dispose of second-hand goods, I heard that this mirror was quite expensive when he bought it, so he was not willing to throw it away, so he sold it to him.”

What the man didn't say was that the mirror really belonged to his cousin, and he was indeed entrusted by his cousin to take care of it. But since the mirror came into the house, strange things always happened at home, and because it belonged to his cousin, it was not easy to throw it away. , I can only take it out and try to see if it can be sold.

Yan Xiaoyue saw that the man's expression didn't seem to be fake, and she was very curious about the mirror in her heart, so she made a decision immediately and bought it home.

Although there are a lot of fakes on Antique Street, they are not without flaws. Two years ago, someone bought a jade pendant here for 500 yuan. After going back for an appraisal, they found that it was genuine. The price has directly increased by dozens times.

This is also the reason why Yan Xiaoyue is so attached to this street.

After returning home, Yan Xiaoyue couldn't wait to search the Internet for information, checked a lot of documents and pictures, and found that there was no ancient mirror with the same style as this mirror. From the Warring States Period to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, most of the mirrors were integrated. One side is engraved with patterned insects, fish, birds and animals, and the other side is polished brightly. The hand-held style began to rise in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but I have never seen this kind of wooden frame with a base. Did I miss it?

No, Yan Xiaoyue took the mirror and looked again, just by looking at the mirror surface, it can be seen that this is a delicate mirror. In ancient times, polishing a mirror is a fine craft, which is very time-consuming, and most people can't afford it. But if it is such a good mirror, why is the decoration so simple? It can only show that this mirror has a long history, so long that no mosaic and gold and silver flat-off mirrors have been created. These two crafts appeared in the Tang Dynasty and also That is to say, this mirror is at least before Tang.

Yan Xiaoyue looked carefully at the mirror, her fingers touched the back of the mirror with a bumpy feeling, she saw a few small characters on the back with sharp eyes, because the dirt was not clear, she turned on the light, and wiped it carefully with a soft cloth dampened with water , After a while, the handwriting slowly appeared.

It's Xiaozhuan...

This discovery made Yan Xiaoyue very excited, but not long after she got excited, she became worried. The presence of Xiaozhuan does not mean that it is something from the Qin Dynasty. Xiaoyue calmly rubbed the words, put the mirror on her bed casually, and began to look up the meaning of the words, as a human being, there is still hope, what if it comes true.

After an unknown amount of time, the living room door opened.

While looking at the computer, Yan Xiaoyue shouted to the door, "The rice is on the table, warm it up by yourself."

After saying this, there was no movement outside, Yan Xiaoyue said again: "Come back so late, did you drink again?"

Randomly glanced at the time on the computer, it would be twelve o'clock, Yan Xiaoyue was a little unhappy about her husband's late return, "I only go home after this meeting every day, other people marry their wives and go home to live, and you marry The wife comes home for decoration."
