Chapter 205: The Bronze Carriage
Ye Xiaochi agreed, put the hot water kettle in the corner of the inner wall, the heat rose from the spout, Dong Qing went over to pick up the old aluminum kettle, and closed the door with his hand. The two professors were thoughtful people in the end, and they could see that Dong Qing didn't want that Xiao Ye to hear what they said, but the specific reason couldn't be guessed.
The person who came was an old customer, who had bought things twice in Ye Xiaochi's hands, and this time, he not only bought things, but also brought a carriage that he bought elsewhere.
There are six horses in front of this bronze carriage, which looks like horses in the terracotta warriors, and the original owner was introduced to him by an acquaintance, and he is also a little famous in the Luochuan collecting world. He looked at it and liked it, and felt that this carriage was quite imposing, so although the price was expensive, he still bought it.
"Xiao Ye, what do you think of this carriage? My friends said that it looked very real. “
Ye Xiaochi didn't need to get started, he knew that there was something wrong with this thing. It can only be said that it is an imitation, and the imitation is not clever, and it is passable to say that it is a work of art, but it does not conform to history.
People who know history will not buy it as an antique, even if they are not proficient in antiques. Because the system of this carriage is obviously that of the Qin and Han dynasties, but it uses the first four and the second back, a total of six horses to pull a carriage at the same time, this specification is really too excessive, can any big officials and princes dare to use it! After all, from the historical records and the surviving bronze carriage of the First Emperor, we can know that the carriage in which Qin Shi Huang himself rode only used four horses.
Listening to the man talk about the origin of the carriage, Ye Xiaochi knew that she couldn't say anything about it, so she had to tell him: "I'm a little unsure about this shape, you can check it in the library or other places when you have time, just check the history of the development of travel tools in the past dynasties, the shape of the carriage and other materials, and compare the pictures above." If you can, it's a good idea to refer to a few books. That might be a bit rewarding. “
The person who asked the question understood the rules and knew that Ye Xiaochi could see through it or not, but he was also calm, after all, this carriage was only one of his many collections, even if he bought the wrong one, it wouldn't hurt very much. He knew that if he continued to ask, the girl in the store would not be able to speak deeply, and it would make her embarrassed. He put away the bronze carriage, then went to see the inkstone, and finally bought a bell-shaped inkstone and left before Zuo Yucheng came back.
When Zuo Yucheng walked into the store, he saw Ye Xiaochi smiling and sending the customer away, he suppressed the annoyance in his heart and smiled at Ye Xiaochi. Tell her: "Leave the matter in the store to Daqing, you clean up and go to Xiao Yun with me." “
At this time, Dong Qing had already opened the door, walked out of the room, and said, "Professor Xu and Professor Hu have been here for half an hour, just waiting for you." How's it going, you're done with it over there, aren't you?"
As he spoke, he blinked at Zuo Yucheng with Ye Xiaochi behind his back. This look made Zuo Yucheng realize that he was afraid that Dong Qing already knew about the rumors he heard outside.
This is not surprising, after all, Professor Xu is here, and Professor Xu has been paying attention to the affairs of Dong Qingwu from Tian Jinlai. Most likely he said it when he came.
Ye Xiaochi had already put on his coat at this time, and taking advantage of this effort, Dong Qing whispered a few words to Zuo Yucheng, and finally told him: "Xiao Ye doesn't know about this yet." “
When Ye Xiaochi came over, the two of them had already separated, Ye Xiaochi didn't ask, because Professor Xu came out at this time, he didn't talk nonsense, and followed Zuo Yucheng out, he could wait here for half an hour It was already early enough. It's also because of this matter that this is the case. In normal times, his schedule is measured in minutes.
When they rushed to Xiao Yun to see the Tianmu bowl, Zuo Yucheng's grandfather, Zuo Fenglin, who collected antiques for the museum in Luochuan with Ye Xiaochi's grandfather, was also outside at this time, and he was accompanying a few old friends from afar and a few local people in Luochuan to eat in a restaurant near his home.
There are two people here who came to this Tianmu Bowl appraisal meeting, and they can be said to have come to this appraisal meeting, but it turned out to be the end of the tiger's head, which is quite disappointing. Thinking of the scene when the young men in plainclothes took people away, an old man was so angry that he put the wine cup in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "You say that you can play with collecting, how can you come up with so many vain things? It is these people who have made a mess of the antique market." “
Someone next to him advised him: "Don't be angry, it's rare to see the big guy today, I haven't seen him for many years, after drinking this wine, I'm afraid there will be no next meal, it's all good, and I drank this wine happily." By the way, there is a matter that requires you to be in Luochuan, I am not in good health, and my family said that they would not let me fly. Later, he didn't screw me in the end, but let me go. But when I went back, I didn't take the plane, and it was a little uncomfortable. I'm going to take the train back slowly, who of you have someone, help me buy two soft sleepers, the train ticket is too difficult to buy. “
Immediately, an old man agreed: "I can't help with anything else, leave this to me." ”
As soon as the old man who wanted to buy a ticket stepped into the building, the topic changed direction, and the atmosphere was better. The owner of this hotel knew Zuo Fenglin, and he also asked Zuo Fenglin to buy antiques for him a few times. I heard that he brought a group of friends to dinner, and he hurriedly came over with a bottle of Moutai, pushed open the door, and asked to pour wine for the old people with a smile.
At this time, there is an old man who is talking, they are all people who have known each other for decades, and when they are old, when they chat, they will inevitably talk about the children of each family, which is human nature. The man said with a guilty face: "Lao Zuo, speaking of which, brother, I can't stand you, your boss has had an accident for more than ten years, and I couldn't help at that time, and now when I think about it, I feel very uncomfortable." At that time, there was really no way at home, my parents had something to do one after another, hey!"
"Look, the atmosphere is just a little better, what are you talking about?" one person advised.
Zuo Fenglin put down the wine glass and sighed: "No one can complain, the most complaining thing is me." Although the boss's illness cost a lot of money, it only dragged on for a few months and a half, but in the end, a bowl of water could not be leveled, and my father was not qualified. ”
Those who are familiar with it know that although Old Man Zuo usually doesn't care about anything else, he actually has a knot. I wanted to comfort him, but let the hotel owner rob him.
"Lao Zuo, these things, the past can't go back, we have to look forward. If you don't mention this first, you can't get it back, right, I'll tell you the latest news today, this should be good news for you. ”
These people had gathered together in the morning, and they had not heard any letters, but when they heard what the boss meant, it seemed that something big had happened, and immediately someone told the shopkeeper to hurry up.
"What good news can I have?" Zuo Fenglin couldn't think of anything good that could happen to him. I haven't encountered anything good in these years, and I'm just messing around day by day.
