Wei Zhengyi's family background is relatively poor in this village, although he also lives in a brand-new small building, but he does not have much savings.

In order to make this meal, Wei Zhengyi's father also went to the fishermen's wharf and got a little seafood from the fishermen who had just landed. In a city near the sea, eating seafood is a daily routine.

His family was very welcoming and greeted in all kinds.

Wei Zhengyi asked some questions about the live broadcast, and he was going to go back, and he would also start a live broadcast when he had time, mainly to introduce the local customs, what local specialties there are in the village, etc., to see if there are any things that netizens like, if the price is acceptable to everyone, it would be great.

The village where he teaches is so poor that there is no hard bottom on the road, and it is still a small mountain road, which belongs to the kind that cannot be driven into it even if there is a car.

Ran Ran, Xiaoxiao, and Lao Su did not dislike it, sitting in the living room, chatting with Wei Zhengyi's family, helping to choose vegetables, etc.

Especially Lao Su, he has been poor and suffered, so he didn't look down on each other, but felt quite kind.

After talking, Wei Zhengyi's family learned that Hu Yang and the others were all masters of appraising antiques, and they were surprised. Only Wei Zhengyi thinks that it is normal, and people can go to the underground market of the old shipyard, which means that at least they are also antique lovers!

Moreover, Hu Yang commented on the wood carvings he brought to the stall before, which was very professional.

"Speaking of antiques, we have them at home. Wei Zhengyi's father laughed.

Wei Zhengyi was surprised: "We also have it in our family?"

He really didn't know about it, and for the first time, the elders told him that there were such high-end things as antiques at home.

Wei Zhengyi's father said with a little embarrassment: "It's a very small one, but at that time it was made of gold, and you were still young before, so I didn't tell you." ”

"Can I take a look at the gold?" asked Lao Su curiously.

Since it's made of gold, no matter what, it's worth a lot of money.

Wei Zhengyi's father went back to the room and quickly came out with a small box, only a palm-sized box, which showed that the items inside were indeed very small.

He opened the box, and there was something like a golden bean lying inside, and if he didn't look closely, he really couldn't tell what it was.

Lao Su took it over, and only saw clearly up close that it was a small golden cicada, a cicada made of gold, and it was lifelike.

Wei Zhengyi's father told Hu Yang and others that this golden cicada was the reward left behind by the Red Army when the Red Army was short of food and took most of the grain from his family.

In fact, Wei Zhengyi's father didn't know if it was an antique. But since it's made of gold, it's definitely valuable, so it's always in my hand.

Anyway, such a small piece, if it is sold as gold, it will not sell for much money.

"The workmanship is exquisite! Xiaohu, look at it. Lao Su handed the golden cicada to Populus euphratica.

Hu Yang put it in the palm of his hand, looked at it for a while, turned it upside down, looked at it a few more times, and said to Lao Su: "Uncle, give me your magnifying glass." ”

I took a magnifying glass and pointed it at the abdomen of the golden cicada, and I saw two ancient characters. This kind of ancient script, Populus euphratica feels a little familiar, and it should be the text of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

He activated the function of the Eye of Knowledge, and soon learned the information of this golden cicada.

Populus euphratica was a little surprised, those two ancient characters turned out to be "Xionghuai". Everyone may not be familiar with this name, he is the last monarch of the Chu State - King Chu Huai. All right

If you want to talk about King Chu Huai, there are still many people who don't know such a person, but among the people he reuses, there is one who is a household name, and that is Qu Yuan.

In the Warring States Period, King Huai of Chu was one of the last monarchs of the Chu State cultivated by the Lile civilization. In the early days of the succession, Qu Yuan and others were appointed to carry out reforms, and the Wei State was defeated, and the Chu State became the largest country in the world at that time; In the middle of his reign, he mistakenly believed Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin, and destroyed the Qi-Chu alliance, the land fell, and the Chu State went from its heyday to its decline.

When we often talk about the Silk Road, we can't help but think of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties.

But in fact, at that time, the state of Chu had opened up the Maritime Silk Road and carried out economic exchanges with some countries in West Asia and South Asia, which can confirm the saying of "the world's largest country".

From the beginning of his reign to the death of King Chu Huai of Qin, it was a tragicomedy. In the early days of his reign, the state of Chu was rich and he himself was willing to strive for strength, so this stage was a comedy. However, since 312 BC, the state of Chu was defeated in the two major battles of Danyang and Lantian, and the state of Chu turned from prosperity to decline, and the comedy of King Huai instantly became a tragedy.

It can be said that a good hand of cards was played by him.

"What do you see?" asked Lao Su.

"Look. ”

Lao Su couldn't wait to set up a magnifying glass and look at it for a while, and asked, "These two words are very ancient, I don't know them!"

Hu Yang explained: "That's a name - Xionghuai. ”

But Lao Su still couldn't remember who this was, but he was too embarrassed to ask. On the contrary, Andy and they shamelessly asked: "Brother Hu, who is Xiong Huai?"

"He was the last monarch of Chu during the Warring States Period, everyone called him King Chu Huai, and Qu Yuan, who we are familiar with, was once his capable minister. Populus euphratica further explained.

This time, everyone understands.

At the same time, I was also very surprised, this golden cicada, the history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

Some people also questioned whether there was such a superb alchemy technique during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? Can gold be made into such a small golden cicada, and it is still lifelike.

According to everyone's understanding, even in the Han Dynasty, in terms of carving, the Han Eight Knife was actually relatively rough.

This golden cicada, everyone doesn't know whether it was cast or carved, but it always doesn't feel like it was from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, it should not have been possible to do such a delicate work.

In fact, there are many works in the carving art of the Warring States Chu, such as the magical Tiger Basin Flying Phoenix, the strange "Tomb Beast" carving, the light and graceful Tiger Seat Phoenix Drum, various forms of carved seat screens, realistic wood carving deer, abstract wood carvings to ward off evil spirits and snake bottles, and lacquer boxes with various state images and so on.

Hu Yang explained to everyone: "In fact, there are so many countries in the Warring States, and the casting technology of Chu was the most powerful in the world at that time. It can be said very responsibly that with the addition of other ancient civilizations abroad, Chu also dares to be called the first.

Let's talk about the sword! The bronze famous swords left over from the ancient Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are almost all produced by the Chu State. Some technologies, such as anti-corrosion technology, can be amazing even today.

However, this golden cicada is indeed not a product of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it should be from the Ming Dynasty. It may have been carved by a certain carving master in honor of King Chu Huai. ”

"Brother Hu, how much is it worth?" Andy asked.

Wei Zhengyi's family also immediately pricked up their ears.

Hu Yang thought for a while: "Between 300,000 and 500,000!"

Wei Zhengyi's family was overjoyed, if it was simply calculated based on the price of gold, it would be more than 1,000 yuan at most. Considering that it is a work of art, Wei Zhengyi's father once felt that it would be very good if it could be sold for about 50,000 yuan.

And I didn't expect that the value far exceeded other expectations, how could I not be happy?
