In this small brocade box, there is a small turtle-shaped piece, shining with golden light. Although he hasn't gotten started yet, Yu Yao can also see that it should be gold instead of copper, at least with a certain gold content.

The tortoise-shaped piece is five or six centimeters long, slightly smaller in width, but not much smaller, roughly round.

"You can't clean it, do you?" asked Yu Yao as he took out his hand.

"Say you're a connoisseur, but you're really a connoisseur. The thin man replied, "This is not what I washed, this is what the last owner washed, and I can't help it." However, even if you buy an old gold piece from the ancient times, that's fine. ”

Some of the antiques can be washed, some of them can't, and it depends on how they are washed. Things such as gold and copper, unlike porcelain and jade, are best not to move, it is easy to destroy the pulp, and the value may be discounted.

Since it had been washed, Yu Yao didn't say anything more about it, and checked it on his hand, feeling light. In this case, either the gold content is not high, or there is a hollow.

"You won't just collect it at the price of gold, will you?" asked Yu Yao again.

"Don't ask how you collect it, what you should care about is my selling price. ”

"You said it's an old gold piece, how old is it?" Yu Yao was looking at the belly of the golden turtle at this time, this golden turtle had not only been washed, but also the abdomen had been polished, it should have been engraved, but now only faint traces were left, and it was impossible to see what words were engraved.

It's just that the abdomen was polished, it should have been a long time ago, at least not modern, much earlier than cleaning.

"I feel like a talisman from the Tang Dynasty. The thin man said, "You see, there should have been a soldier inscription on the abdomen, but unfortunately, I don't know when it was worn off." ”

"Aren't all soldier talismans tiger talismans?

"Little brother, don't pretend to be confused, in the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid Tang Taizu Li Hu, how can there be a tiger talisman?"

Yu Yao smiled and didn't speak for a while. He was just trying to do it, but this thin man knew something.

Tang Taizu Li Hu was the grandfather of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and the great-grandfather of Tang Taizong Li Shimin; of course, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Li Yuan, and Li Hu actually never became an emperor; his temple name was chased later.

The talisman has been there for a long time, and Xinling Jun stole the talisman to save Zhao. From the Warring States period to the Sui Dynasty, the military talisman was indeed a tiger talisman;

The Tang Dynasty was the dynasty with the most changes in the shape of the military talisman, and it did not use the tiger talisman, but used the rabbit talisman, the fish talisman, the turtle talisman and so on.

This turtle talisman was mainly used during the reign of Wu Zetian, and also included the Wu Zhou period interspersed in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

I don't know why Wu Zetian likes turtles. She was Li Shimin's "little wife" first, and then Li Shimin's daughter-in-law, and then she took any Wulang Liulang to play, whether she was a turtle or not, I can't say.

Of course, at that time, the turtle did not have so many crooked meanings, and the ministers also wore gold turtle bags, silver turtle bags, and bronze turtle bags according to their grades.

Li Shangyin has a poem about "marrying a golden beetle son-in-law for no reason"; this is where the term "golden beetle son-in-law" comes from.

"That's not right!" Yu Yao lowered his head and lit another cigarette, "If it's a talisman, it should be able to be split into two; ”

In addition to the inscription, the talisman can generally be divided into two, and the top sends someone to transfer troops, and you have to take half of it and match the other half with the commander of the army.

This golden beetle, the back has a tortoiseshell lattice, the center is round and convex, the head is slightly high, the momentum is awe-inspiring, the four claws are retracted, the abdomen is polished, so the original ornament can not be seen, but the edge shape is dignified and beautiful.

There is indeed a king eight, no, the spirit of a king. However, it is true that there is no place where it can be divided in two.

Yu Yao asked this question, and he really stopped the thin man. In fact, he was not sure, and he was not even sure if he could get to Tang, but he was sure that it was an old thing. If you can be completely sure, no matter how impulsive you are, you can't find someone to do so casually.

"Not all talismans can be divided into two, and there are special troop transfer situations!"

The thin man's words are just playing haha, but he was really blinded by him.

There are also soldiers who are not divided into two, and some are only the emperor, and they can be held directly at critical moments, especially the team similar to the Imperial Forest Army guarding the imperial city.

But of course Yu Yao couldn't agree with him, "You caught me off guard with this." But I think this thing is a bit old, not to mention the Qing Dynasty. ”

"You are even more, I said Datang, you gave a stick to the Qing Dynasty. The thin man frowned.

"Okay, it's useless to say this, how much is the minimum?"

"If you really want it, I can make it cheaper. ”

"I don't want it, it depends on your price. ”

The thin man nodded, holding out two fingers.

"Two hundred?"

"Little brother, can we talk well? Can you buy such a piece of gold for two hundred?"

"The gold content of this stuff is very low, maybe 50 percent. Besides, how can you only look at the texture of the antique business?" Yu Yao paused, "That's two thousand?"

"Count me as my own trouble!" the thin man pouted, "Listen, 20,000, a fixed price, no counteroffer." ”

When Yu Yao heard this, he put the golden turtle back into the small brocade box, and then gently pushed it in the direction of the thin man on the table, "Then I won't move." ”

The thin man seemed to be flashed for a moment, and said a little subconsciously, "Then how much can you scare?"

"Aren't you a fixed price?" Yu Yao smiled.

The thin man also smiled awkwardly, "It's fate to meet, you can have a knife, you can't have a big knife." ”

"Cut half, 10,000, is it considered a big knife?" Yu Yao interfaced.

The thin man listened, and reached out to drag the small brocade box in front of him, "That's not going to work." ”

Although he said no, the thin man didn't get up.

Subsequently, the two exchanged a few words with each other, but Yu Yao bit 10,000 to death and refused to add more.

At this time, the fat man came over, squinting his little eyes, "You seem to be talking a little stiff!"

"I've let it go to 16,000, and this little brother won't let go of 10,000. The thin man looked at the fat man, "Ten thousand, we have to lose money." ”

"Yes, you can't make money, you can't lose money. The fat man sat down next to the thin man and looked at Yu Yao, "Since the little brother is knowledgeable, let us have something to eat." ”

Yu Yao looked at the fat man, "I'm also poor and crying, 10,000 is really the highest." ”

"In this way, give one step each, fifteen thousand eight, and the intention is good. The fat man said with a smile.

"Good guy, are you going to give each of you a step?" Yu Yao got up, "Actually, I don't understand it either, so it's a gamble, 10,000 to the top." With that, a step has been taken.

Yu Yao is not purely trying to capture the old man, he can indeed see that it is a turtle talisman from the Tang Dynasty, but this turtle talisman has been polished and cleaned, so he can't buy it or not, the focus is not on this, but on what he can't see, so he really has to gamble.
