Chapter 45: Picking Up the Missing Bronze Jar
"Hum...", the phone vibrate, breaking the peace.
I took out my phone and said, "Da Zhuang's call." "I'm also a little curious, it's usually a QQ contact when it's okay, why did you remember to call me.
"Hey, Brother Niu. As soon as the phone was connected, Da Zhuang's anxious voice came from the microphone.
I was a little stunned, and then I had a bad premonition, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
In the middle of the night, there was no response on the other end of the phone.
After a while, I was about to ask again, when a big strong voice came from the phone, but the voice was a little weak. "In the past two days, if you have time to go home one day, I have something to look for you. ”
I exhaled a sigh of relief, and said with some complaints: "Da Zhuang, you are going to scare me to death, I thought something was wrong." ”
Hearing me say this, Da Zhuang also felt inappropriate, relieved himself, and smirked twice, "That, I changed a baby in the morning!"
"That's it, so why are you in a hurry? "I'm a little helpless, this brother really listens to the wind and rain.
"Oh, Brother Niu is not. As he spoke, his voice became faint again, "It's a bronze vessel." ”
Although the voice was silent, the words were heard in my ears, and I hurriedly exclaimed, "What!"
"Shhhh
Then, I hurriedly went to a corner, covered the microphone with my hand, and said, "Da Zhuang, how dare you buy this thing." Don't you know that this thing can't be traded!" the voice was not loud, but it was full of rebuke.
"Hehe, Brother Niu, you don't understand. Da Zhuang's voice was still a little proud.
"Don't understand what?!" I frowned, my voice even more displeased.
"I'm family heirloom, heirloom, not newly unearthed, no problem. Da Zhuang said.
I also put down my snacks, which at least I won't be caught in the law. But another question arose, Da Zhuang had never seen the bronzes up close, and I didn't see him interested in this aspect, how did he identify it? Thinking that Da Zhuang had such a straight temperament, he couldn't have been deceived, so he hurriedly asked, "You won't be deceived, right?"
"Brother Niu, you can't just pick up Taobao, and I can't get a baby. What is that called, you only allow the state officials to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps!" Da Zhuang is a little slow, it seems that my recent Taobao has touched Da Zhuang.
Although I was concerned from the bottom of my heart, I also felt that this was not appropriate, so I explained a little against my will: "No, I am just curious how you got this treasure." ”
Hearing this, Da Zhuang immediately laughed, "Hehe, that's the case." This morning, I went to see the store by myself. An old man came, saying that he was an old customer in the store, looking for Uncle Fang. ”
"Well, then what?" I answered.
"But Uncle Fang is not here, the old man is leaving, but he is a little twisted. I think there must be something wrong with him like this!" Da Zhuang said very proudly.
I could think of the way his eyebrows fluttered when he called, and he laughed stupidly twice and asked, "Looks like you must have kept him." ”
"That's a must, I stalked him and made him a pot of tea before Lao Bai kept it for him. Da Zhuang continued, "Then I asked him what was the matter, Brother Niu, guess what?"
I'm tempted to say that there must have been some kind of difficulty, and I had to sell my ancestral belongings. However, I was really afraid of being a proverb, so I patiently asked, "What's wrong?"
"That old man, Gary's child is going to get married, and the woman is asking to build a house, and now she wants to sell her ancestral treasure and build a house!" Da Zhuang said more loudly, and he no longer deliberately maintained a sense of mystery.
Hearing this, I seem to have known the end of the story, and I have steadily lost my wife and broken my soldiers. I just organized the language and wanted to prompt kindly, but Da Zhuang is very excited at the moment.
"Brother Niu, do you remember Hua Yan's painting? Let me tell you, when I saw that old lady, my first thought was that I was going to pick up treasures!" Da Zhuang said.
I felt a little sorry. I thought that although Da Zhuang was not a good student with excellent character and learning, he had a pure heart and didn't know that I had special abilities, and it was too easy to be fooled to emulate me. But I didn't know what to say now, so I asked, "What kind of treasure is that?"
"A Gui!" said Da Zhuang.
I didn't reflect for a moment and asked, "What is it?"
Da Zhuang explained: "Brother Niu, there is something you don't know about. Gui is the rice bowl of ancient times. ”
"Do you mean the bronze gui?" I was shocked.
"yes, what the hell is this, Brother Niu?" Da Zhuang asked.
It may be that I have a loud voice, and my dad, Brother Guang, and Sun Wei are standing in place looking at me.
"Where are you now?" I asked.
Da Zhuang was stunned for a moment and replied to me, "It's still in the store." ”
I hurriedly said to him, "Wait for me in the store, I'll be there later." Without waiting for him to reply, I hung up. turned around and said to Brother Guang and Sun Wei very embarrassedly, "Brother Guang, Sun Wei, I still have something to do, I'm busy with something else, you two can play casually in the store." That father, I will help Brother Guang choose a better ink, and Brother Guang will send his father-in-law to him..."Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran out of the store.
On the way, I kept thinking, Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, this time the loss should not be too big. Suffice it to say, I've already sentenced that bronze gui to death.
I ran to the door of Xuanji Pavilion out of breath, exhaled twice, pushed the door and entered.
Da Zhuang looked out of the door vigilantly, and saw that it was me who came in, so he was relieved and said, "Brother Niu, such a big movement, scare me to death, lock the door quickly." ”
"Where's the thing?" I asked, and my feelings were very complicated, hoping for the truth, fearing for the truth, hoping for the fake, and fearing the fake.
"Brother Niu, don't worry, I'll get it for you. Da Zhuang said as he took out the bronze skull from the horns, "Brother Niu, what is this thing about?"
I didn't rush to see the object in Da Zhuang's hand in a hurry, but patiently introduced: "Gui is a utensil for food in ancient China, and it is also an important ritual vessel. Bronze Gui appeared in the middle of the Shang Dynasty, but the number was small, and gradually increased in the early part of the late period, and it was popular from the Shang to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ”
"It seems that the old man didn't lie to me, this is indeed an ancient rice bowl. Da Zhuang said a little excitedly, as if he was more sure that this was a genuine product, and then handed me the bronze gui that he was holding tightly in his arms solemnly.
I took it with both hands, carefully looked at it, this bronze Gui is only 20 centimeters high, 30 centimeters wide, the body is round, deep belly, there are ears on both sides of the abdomen, the upper part of the ear is decorated with a sheep's head, there is a small er under the ear, the front and back of the neck are decorated with a relief animal face, the left and right are decorated with thunder patterns, and the feet are decorated with animal face patterns.
There is actually an inscription on the inner bottom of the Gui, and it is carefully identified as the word "Jige".
