Chapter 386: The Xu Family's Grasp
The tea room of the Qiu Ju Tea House.
The air was filled with the smell of tea, and when Shen Qiu and Xu Mingliang were selecting the collection, Jiang Jincheng, who was a peacemaker, specially bowed to Xu Zhihai to add a cup of tea.
"Old Xu...... Looking at the bright appearance, I am very confident in dealing with Shen Qiu......"
Xu Zhihai's face did not change, but he smiled slightly: "If it was a few days ago, I was still a little worried, but today is different, Jiang Lao, you probably don't know! Just a few days ago, Mingliang had been quietly promoted to the level of second grade and second grade, and he was also capable of hitting the level of the national teacher list, and it was not easy to deal with a Shen Qiu? I also took this opportunity to teach him a lesson, not everyone can afford to provoke the Xu family!"
......
About ten minutes later, Qiu Lao took Shen Qiu and Xu Mingliang back to the tea hall, and asked people to wrap them in two narrow boxes: "Okay everyone! Master Shen and Master Xu have already selected the collections for their respective competitions, just in the two boxes in front of us, it is a coincidence that these two collections are exchanged for them when I went to the Northeast in 98 years, what is the specific situation, how much money was spent, I will sell it first, and when the competition between the two is over, the old man will reveal the story of these two collections one by one!"
"Next is the time for the two masters to appreciate the treasure, your time limit is a stick of incense, about twelve minutes, please get ready? Now I announce!
As Qiu Lao's words fell, the two staff members opened the two treasure chests at the same time, and the exquisite pipa and sharp dagger were presented in everyone's sight at the same time.
Everyone at the scene was amazed, Qiu Lao deserved to be a famous collector in Yanjing, and the two collections that were picked out at random were amazing, and instantly became the attention of the audience, taking advantage of the process of Shen Qiu and Xu Mingming's treasure appreciation, everyone talked about it.
Jack couldn't help but point to the pipa and praised: "This pipa is amazing, it is made of gold thread, there is no trace of fading for so many years, and the string wrench is also made of pure snake skin, which is rare and rare!
Zuo Xiaoqing shook his head and said: "I have seen this kind of pipa on TV before, it is returned from overseas Japan, the workmanship and appearance are not as good as this one, a few years ago, Christie's auction also sold for more than 10 million yuan, Qiu Lao's pipa is definitely more than ......"
"Oh! In comparison, I like Qiu Lao's dagger!" Jiang Jincheng, the peacemaker, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Jinghua dagger, this is the dagger given by the emperor to the generals of the Song Dynasty!
"It's the same dagger, but the three knives are not as delicate as this fine flower dagger, just looking at the shape design of this fine flower dagger reveals a unique majesty and domineering, just look at it will be shocked by its own might!
It is worth mentioning that Shen Qiu and Xu Mingliang also had different ways of appreciating treasures on the field, Xu Mingliang was busy spinning around on the snakeskin pipa, and looked at the pipa about one meter long from beginning to end, from the strings, to the strings, to the handle of the pipa, everything was in detail.
And the Jinghua dagger on Shen Qiu's side is relatively shorter, just a sharp dagger, placed in the box, Shen Qiu touched it from top to bottom, and closed his eyes in place to recuperate and cultivate his body.
"Huh, what does this Shen Qiu mean...... Jiang Jincheng asked Xu Zhihai next to him in confusion: "Did he understand it after touching it?" I have been in Yanjing for so many years, and I have never seen a treasure connoisseur appreciate treasures in this way? Is this guy too confident!"
"Elder Jiang doesn't have to be confused!" Xu Zhihai whispered in his ear: "Obviously, this is a set of dragon gate formations that Mingliang gave Shen Qiu, they all thought that the dagger was simple and had no technical content, so he took it lightly, Jiang Lao, just wait and see how arrogant Shen Qiu is, and how tragic he will lose later!"
However, these people don't know that "Closing Your Eyes and Recuperating Your Spirit" is Shen Qiu's unique skill!
At the same time as he touched the dagger, he first felt the fierce aura emanating from Xu Mingming's side, and then felt a scorching temperature on his hand on the Jinghua dagger, the temperature on the Jinghua dagger was extremely hot, from this temperature it can be roughly judged that it is a collection from more than 800 years ago, according to the timeline it should be in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Then the historical picture of this exquisite dagger vaguely appeared in Shen Qiu's mind, and the first thing that appeared in Shen Qiu's mind was an emperor sitting on a dragon chair and wearing a yellow robe on his shoulders, Song Gaozong!
It was this emperor of the Song Dynasty who bestowed this fine dagger on one of his fierce generals, and this fierce general was none other than Han Shizhong, one of the four famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty! Together with Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangtao, he was called the four generals of Zhongxing.
Han Shizhong was brave and good at fighting, had a strategic mind, and made great contributions in the war against the Western Xia and Jin Kingdoms. This fine dagger is the background of his contribution to quelling rebellions in various places, and Song Gaozong personally asked people to create a reward for him.
It's just that to Shen Qiu's surprise, when this dagger appeared, there was still a dagger, but hundreds of years have passed, and the original dagger has disappeared, leaving only such an object about the fierce general Han Shizhong in the world, but this fine dagger itself is also upside down, with many unknown stories attached.
"Alright, everyone! It's time!"
Qiu Lao's voice pulled Shen Qiu's thoughts back into the line of sight, and when the time for a stick of incense came, Qiu Lao motioned to the staff to receive the two pieces of the collection to him, and everyone's eyes returned to Shen Qiu and Xu Mingming.
Xu Mingliang breathed a long sigh of relief, a relaxed smile welled up on his cystic face, before a stick of incense, he had already seen through this pipa, so to speak, he Xu Mingliang won this battle arena!
On the contrary, Shen Qiu's face had a frowning and puzzled expression, obviously some details in the fine dagger that made him undecided.
"Listen up! I'm about to start my first question! Let's do the opposite, the two of you will first talk about the valuation of your respective collections, one to say, as far as the current market situation is concerned, the old man will find the collection on the shelf to the experts of the auction house to re-appraise and evaluate once a year, the price of these two collections is currently in my hands, please make an estimate of the price first! Then talk about the advantages and disadvantages of their respective collections!"
"The two of you don't need to question the authenticity of the appraisal in my hand, because I am a VIP customer of several auction houses, so I asked more than ten experts from the auction house to study the budget at the same time! Absolute fairness and justice are also recognized by me! Master Shen Qiu, please tell me the valuation of this fine flower dagger first!"
First of all, the estimated price is definitely a precedent set by Qiu Lao, and what everyone saw before this was to leave the estimated price for the end, and Qiu Lao did the opposite, which is enough to show that Qiu Lao's style of acting is different from ordinary people, and he is unique.
"Hey......" The old lady slowly shook her head and expressed her worries: "Relatively speaking, the valuation forecast is a bit of a loss for Shen Qiu! Shen Qiu has just come to Yanjing City, Yanjing's market is still different from Jiangcheng, some objects Yanjing is ridiculously expensive, and some antique market has not been bullish for many years and even shows a downward trend, treasure appreciation technology will be put aside, as far as the market of Yanjing antiques is concerned, Xu Mingming's experience is obviously higher than Shen Qiu!"
"180w, the price I give this collection is 180w!" Shen Qiu didn't hesitate too much, and finally said the valuation of this fine flower dagger in his mind.
As soon as this price came out, the old lady's brows first contributed to it, and she pouted and said: "What's the matter with this Shen Qiu? Actually only gave the price of 180w?
