Chen Weidong hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell the truth. He only said vaguely that although this thing looked ordinary, it seemed to be from a long time ago. I apologize for my lack of knowledge and my limited knowledge of when it was.
Unexpectedly, Hu Laoba became happy when he heard this. He patted his shoulder and laughed and said: "Brother, you have good eyesight. I bought this thing from Panjiayuan in the capital three years ago. The old man who was selling it at that time was like
I said, this thing is extraordinary, it was made by General Mo Xie himself."
"Oh?" Chen Weidong replied, but couldn't help but feel secretly amused.
Ganjiang? He was a native of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Moye? That is Gan Jiang’s wife, and of course she was from the same period.
Just a question of age can prove that the old man is talking nonsense. When this thing was really born, the ancestors of general Moye were still waiting to be reincarnated in the underworld.
"Why, Brother Chen has a different view on this?" Hu Laoba looked at his face and couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't dare, I just feel that the truth may not be the case."
"I think so too." Hu Laoba nodded and added: "Later, I took this thing to another recognized expert in the industry to see it. Good guy, what he said was even more mysterious!"
"Oh? What did he say?~" Chen Weidong became interested immediately upon hearing this.
"Ahem..." Hu Laoba took a sip of water and said enthusiastically: "He actually said that this thing was made by Ou Yezi. Do you dare to believe it?"
"Dare, haha, why don't you dare?~" Chen Weidong laughed loudly, laughing very happily.
What a master, he can brag so well. Anyway, he doesn’t have to pay taxes, so he can just make it!~
Ou Yezi, a famous ancient master and the originator of sword-making in ancient China, I have to say that this person is awesome and amazing!
But the problem is: this person is also from the Spring and Autumn Period, and unfortunately he is also the father-in-law of Brother Qianjiang, Lao Taishan. As for Mo Ye, of course she is his daughter.
Although there is a generation difference, they are very similar in terms of age. They are all from the same era, and there is no way it can be related to the era in which this thing was born.
"Okay, I don't care where this thing came from. I bought it on impulse, and then kept it here for three years without anyone paying attention. Brother Chen happened to be here today, and our store is booming.
Shenghui, how about giving a sword to the hero!~"
Boss Hu has already said this, why does Chen Weidong have the nerve to be pretentious anymore? Just accept it!
"How about it, Brother Dong, I told you that Master Ba is definitely one of the most powerful shopkeepers in the antique market. Am I wrong?" A Kun didn't forget to flatter him.
This Boss Hu is really awesome. He just gave me something when we met him for the first time. This shows that he must be a generous and generous person!
It is easy to make friends with such a person, and everyone is willing to deal with him regardless of religion or religion.
What's more important is that he didn't actually suffer any loss when he gave away things. The string of Buddhist beads and the so-called "sword" were actually things of little value, but they became valuable after being exaggerated by his clever mouth.
It’s so precious, one has to admire it!
"Brother Chen came to visit. I guess he came to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, right?" Hu Laoba asked the three of them to sit down and served them some good tea himself.
"Of course, my Dong brother recently got a mirror, and I would like to ask Mr. Ba to appreciate it." Fang Shaokun rushed to say everything.
"You're the only one who's so long-winded! If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!" Hu Laoba raised his eyebrows, then turned to look at Chen Weidong: "Brother, please show me your treasure and open my eyes."
Chen Weidong immediately took out the bronze mirror and placed it on the table without saying a word.
As soon as Hu Laoba saw the bronze mirror, he couldn't take his eyes away, and his eyebrows wrinkled deeply, forming an inverted figure.
After a long while, Hu Laoba breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen, you are Xiaokun's friend. If I have anything to say, just say it directly."
Chen Weidong nodded: "But it doesn't matter."
"Judging from the craftsmanship, patterns and details of this ancient mirror, it should be a product of the late Tang and early Song dynasties. In other words, it has a history of at least more than a thousand years."
"Wow!~~~" Akun's beautiful girlfriend couldn't help but open her mouth wide and her eyes were filled with stars.
"Then...how much is this thing worth?" Fang Shaokun also became interested. He picked up the mirror and looked around, unable to put it down.
"Don't touch it!" Hu Laoba knocked off his hand and scolded: "It's better for ordinary people like you not to touch ancient objects like this too much, so as not to defile other people's homes."
"Yes, yes." Fang Shaokun nodded like a fool, how could he dare to talk back?
Hu Laoba noticed that someone had not spoken, so he asked: "What, does Brother Chen have any different opinions? It doesn't matter. Although, I just took a look at it casually, so I may not be sure."
"No, no." Chen Weidong shook his head hurriedly, "My views are completely consistent with Brother Hu's."
"I knew it!~" Hu Laoba laughed and slapped someone, "Come on, Brother Chen, give-me-five!~"
Chen Weidong was stunned, and immediately stretched out his hand to hit the opponent, and they both smiled knowingly.
Hu Laoba glanced at the bronze mirror a few more times, then turned around and said: "Brother Chen, to tell you the truth, if this thing sells poorly, it may be worthless, but if it sells well, it may be worth tens of thousands of gold. It all depends on you.
How does it work?"
"Yeah." Chen Weidong nodded, and began to think about whether to cooperate with this boss Hu. After all, he has been in the antique market for so many years, and he must be much more proficient in it than a layman like himself.
As for professional matters, they should be left to professional talents - this is Chen Weidong's consistent view.
Just as he was thinking about how to speak, a voice suddenly sounded in his heart: "Are you sure you want to sell this mirror?"
The person who spoke was Chong Yue. He had just received a suitable spiritual tablet and had not seen it for a long time. It was strange that it suddenly bubbled up at this moment.
"What? Is there any problem?" Chen Weidong felt a little confused.
"You're still asking me? Do you really not realize the value of this thing?"
"This..." When Chen Weidong heard that there was something in Chong Yue's words, he immediately humbly asked for advice: "I really don't know, please give me some advice from my senior brother."
"You!" Chong Yue almost roared in a tone that said he hated iron, "Let's understand, this is a 'mirror that haunts dreams'! And it's an ancient relic from a thousand years ago! It's worth inestimable value!"
Nani? Dreaming about the mirror?? What is that???
When Chen Weidong heard this term for the first time, he felt it was very new, but when he thought about several strange things in the past, his expression became solemn.
Chong Yue didn't care about him and thought to himself: "Such precious things are almost extinct. Even if you offer tens of thousands of gold, you may not be able to see them! You kid stepped on a dog and got such a treasure, and you still think about it.
Is it for sale!? Was your brain squeezed by a door? Or was your head kicked by a donkey when you were a kid?"
"Uh..." Chen Weidong was speechless for a while.
To be honest, he really didn't expect this answer...
It was such a crappy thing. It had made everyone in the house so frightened and terrified that he wished he could throw it out of the window, out of sight and out of mind. Unexpectedly, he suddenly learned the truth from Brother Chongyue today.
How to say this...
After thinking about it for a long time, someone still kept thinking over and over in his heart: tmd, happiness always comes so suddenly, it is overwhelming!~
Hu Laoba waited for a long time and heard no news. He couldn't sit still and said, "How about it? Brother Chen, if you have any plans, just tell us. We can discuss it easily with our family."
Chen Weidong finally came to his senses and immediately used his deception skills to get into trouble with Hu Laoba.
Now that the matter has come to this, he will never sell the ancient mirror again, but it is not appropriate to reject them directly like this, as if he came here just to take advantage of others for fun. If it is not handled well, it is inevitable that the friend will not be able to make it, and will still keep him.
A bad impression.
The two talked for a long time, starting from the age of the ancient mirror to craftsmanship, and then from craftsmanship to the politics, military, culture, and exchanges of the Song Dynasty at that time. In the end, they even transcended the Song Dynasty and turned to the Tang Dynasty, and even the earlier Sui Dynasty.
Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Tang Yao, Shun Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou...
Both of them are people who are proficient in history. When the two guys talked about interesting things, they couldn't help but admire each other's insightful opinions. In the end, they shook hands and talked happily, showing sympathy for each other.
On the other hand, Fang Shaokun and his little girlfriend were so sleepy that they started to yawn.
After talking so much, Boss Hu is so smart that he probably figured out what Chen Weidong meant. He never mentioned the sale again. He only said that we had a great conversation tonight, but it was still not enough. If Brother Chen is interested in the future,
You can come to me at any time, and the store welcomes you to visit.
"Okay!" Chen Weidong agreed immediately. This was also his true thought.
It was getting late at this time, and Boss Hu's shop was about to close, so the three of them stopped talking and said goodbye.
After leaving the store, Fang Shaokun immediately became energetic and started chasing Chen Weidong to ask why he didn't sell that mirror.
"I said Brother Dong, please stop making trouble. I brought you to see Mr. Ba this late at night because I think this business can be done. What kind of trouble are you going to make now?"
"Oh? Did you know that this business could be done a long time ago?" Chen Weidong couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"Of course!" Fang Shaokun patted his chest, "Although I'm not as gifted with a pair of dazzling eyes as Mr. Ba, my basic eyesight is still worth a little bit. Brother Dong, your mirror looks like an antique at first glance. I'm thinking that even if I can't sell it,
For a big price, you can at least make a small profit, right? But it’s hard to say the value of antiques. It depends on how you sell them. That’s why I helped you find Mr. Ba. He is an expert. If he runs it, nothing will happen.
I can give you a good price or even a huge sale!”
"Yeah." Chen Weidong smiled slightly, neither denying nor agreeing.
"Oh, Brother Dong, don't you believe it? I'll tell you the truth. My old man found an antique the year before last and gave it to Master Ba to get it. How much do you think it sold for in the end? Three million! This number is not too small.
