Ning Yuanqi listened to the two "teachers" coming and going, and said with a faint smile, "Speak well." ”

Wu Duo answered, "I don't really see it, but so many senior experts say that it is something from Wang Mang's new dynasty, and it can't be wrong." ”

"How can there be such a bright black lacquer Gu?" Luo Yuze followed.

"In my opinion, this bronze caliper should have been unearthed in the late Qing Dynasty, and then it has been handed down to the world, for more than 100 years, it is normal to be so bright. Wu Duo paused, "As for the formation of black lacquer Gu before, it feels a bit like a dry pit in the northeast." ”

Wu Duo also wants to know the origin of the bronze caliper, the latter sentence is purely a general guess, because the Northeast Gankeng has produced ancient black money, so it is attached.

"How do you know it's from the Northeast Dry Pit?" Ning Shuang looked surprised.

Wu Duo took a look, is this the right collision?

"It's just a feeling. ”

Ning Shuang nodded, "It's indeed from the Northeast Dry Pit." ”

"Then hurry up!" Luo Yuze urged.

"According to my research, this may be something that Wu Dashi hid back then. Ning Shuang said, taking a sip of juice.

"So well-founded?" Luo Yuze was even more interested.

Mixing in the antique shop, if you don't know Wu Dayi, it's a bit too much.

Wu Dashi was a Jinshi in the Tongzhi year, an official of the Guangxu Dynasty, and was sponsored by Zuo Zongtang······ But people in the antique industry know that he is a collector and a master of identification.

He has compiled a "Ancient Jade Illustrated Examination", which is almost a must-have tool book for collectors who play with ancient jade.

Wu Duo also has this book, but in a modern version.

In the sixth year of Guangxu, that is, in 1880, Wu Dayi was awarded the title of Sanpinqing, and was arranged to go to Ningguta, Hunchun and other places with Jilin General Ming'an to handle border affairs. The following year, in 1881, his authority in the Northeast was expanded. During this period, because of his personal strengths, he collected a number of local Han Dynasty tombs unearthed objects. ”

Ning Shuang explained, "Wu Dayi once wrote a book "Weighing and Measuring Experiments", describing the bronze calipers of Wang Mang's period, and he described the year very accurately, saying that the production time was the first year of the New Dynasty, that is, 9 A.D. At the same time, there are several rubbings of bronze calipers in the book. ”

When Wu Duo heard it, it was really right, it was really something from 9 A.D., and the unearthed time was 1881!

Ning Shuang continued, "There is a bronze caliper rubbing sample among them, which is different from the others, the surface is smoother, and the size is also consistent, I think this is it!"

Wu Duo thought for a while, "Several other unearthed bronze calipers from the Wang Mang period are in the tomb clusters of the princes and nobles of the Han Dynasty, and this one appears in the northeast, which is also a little strange. ”

At that time, Wang Mang's policy towards the Northeast seemed to be a bit bookish, the main of which was to change Wang to Hou. But Hou is also a high lord, and it makes sense to have bronze calipers. Ning Shuang responded.

"You two don't discuss academic issues, okay. Luo Yuze knocked on the edge of the plate with chopsticks, "I've been talking about it for a long time, but I haven't talked about how you got it yourself." ”

"It's very simple, Pan Jiayuan bought it. Ning Shuang pulled her hair.

"Can Pan Jiayuan still buy this thing? What is there except for that now, it's a bunch of skewers, and it's estimated that there are a bunch of walnut green skins at this time, right?"

"At the end of last year, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, I received it from a person who pulled the township, and he generally only supplied things to antique shops, not stalls. ”

"It's still a state department!" Luo Yuze sighed.

"Work is work, and it's a personal identity to go to a stall, but I'm just right. "Ning Shuang is colorful.

"You're bright enough, I have a toothache when I hear it. Luo Yuze muttered, "It's still Ning Xue who is interesting." ”

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. By the way, what is Ning Xue busy with?" Luo Yuze asked.

As soon as Wu Duo heard that Luo Yuze was going to talk to Ning Shuang about these things, he said that he would pick up the food and left his seat.

During the meal, perhaps because Luo Yuze was there, Ning Shuang did not mention the matter of Xuande Guan's imitation of the narcissus basin.

After eating, several people dispersed, Wu Duo did not immediately go back to the room, but walked out of Tianfeng Garden, came to the shore of the artificial lake not far away, sat on the bench and lit a cigarette.

After sitting for about ten minutes, I was about to go back, but I saw Ning Shuang coming.

The two said hello, and Wu Duo nodded directly, "Do you want to buy Xuandeguan's imitation narcissus basin because of your mentor?"

"Yes, I guess I bought it for him. Ning Shuang nodded.

"Sit down. Wu Duo smiled, "You haven't greeted him yet, have you?"

Ning Shuang sat down on the bench, "There's no need to say hello, because I'm going to pay for it myself and buy it for him." ”

"Is this Mr. Li Yiyan long-lived?" Wu Duo asked suddenly.

"Mr. Li is going to celebrate Mishou this winter, which happens to be a birthday gift. ”

"Oh. Wu Duo nodded. Mi Shou is eighty-eight, that's really a long life.

Li Yiyan has a very high status in the field of cultural relics and archaeology, and he should be of great help to Ning Shuang, but Ning Shuang's family is not short of money, otherwise he would not be able to send such a valuable thing.

"It seems that you are able to get out?" Ning Shuang asked again.

"Yes. However, there is no market reference price for this thing, and it is really difficult to price. ”

"Just look at it, don't be too outrageous. ”

Wu Duo thought for a while, "I remember that at the recent big auction, there was a Xuande official imitation of the Jun kiln daffodil basin, which was auctioned for four million. But that's the official imitation of Song Jun kiln, this is the official imitation of Song Ru kiln, how can it be higher than that one, right?"

"That's right. But don't take advantage of the fire. Ning Shuang explained softly, "This thing, in the hands of Mr. Li, is the best destination." ”

"Robbing while the fire is a word!"

"It's a neutral word, don't get me wrong. Ning Shuang smiled, "Isn't this afraid that I can't afford you to quote too high a price! I can't give my mentor a birthday gift, and I have to borrow money from my father!"

"And how much can you afford?"

"Up to ······ Five million at most! It's just a little higher than the Xuande official imitation Jun kiln flower pot you said. ”

"Okay, then take between four million and five million, 456, four million and five million, it's still smooth, okay?" Wu Duo opened his mouth and decided.

"Really?" Ning Shuang was slightly surprised, "I thought it was ······"

Wu Duo waved his hand, "Luo Yuze has said that you are bright, can I still deduct and search?" Besides, you said that you are up to five million, so I have to leave you some money, right?"

"You and Luo Yuze are not all the way. Ning Shuang pursed her lips, "Thank you." ”

"Thank you, this thing has no price, as long as it is not lower than four million, I will not lose. And what you said makes sense, to Mr. Li, it is indeed the best destination. ”
