Chapter 429: Someone Wants to Make Trouble
Meng Zitao bought the black color handicap bottle at a price of 1.5 million, which is quite good, representing Ding Tianjun's closeness. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After completing the transaction, Li Wangshan said: "I said Lao Ding, you see the three of us coming, you just took a thing out, it's too stingy, right?"
Ding Tianjun ignored Li Wangshan and asked Zhang Jingqiang: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know what type of antiques you like?"
Zhang Jingqiang smiled: "Porcelain and jade are fine. ”
Ding Tianjun smiled and nodded, at this time, Li Wangshan said, "I said, why don't you ask me?"
"Tell you, it's not your share. Ding Tianjun said directly.
Li Wangshan said: "If you do this, it's too favoritism, right?"
Ding Tianjun said angrily: "You have the face to say that I am favoritistic, and you don't want to think about how many things you have taken from me this month?"
Li Wangshan said with a smile: "Didn't I also increase the liquidity of your funds." ”
"Fart!" Ding Tianjun scoffed: "How many good things can we have in this business? All of them have been bought by you, so what store do I open?" Let me tell you, in the future, you can only take two fine products from me at most every month. ”
"Two pieces are too little......
"I don't have a single word. ”
"Okay, okay!" Li Wangshan waved his hand: "Then how about you get me a relatively rare thing today?
"Wait here for a while. ”
Ding Tianjun didn't answer positively, and got up and went out again.
After a while, Ding Tianjun came back with two things, namely a fine jade pendant carved during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and a bronze mirror.
Ding Tianjun gave the jade pendant to Zhang Jingqiang and the bronze mirror to Li Wangshan.
Li Wangshan looked at the bronze mirror, and saw that the bronze mirror was sunflower-shaped, with a small bridge button, and a relief of a hedgehog, with a vivid and delicate pattern. The inscription of the yang casting in the outer area is "with copper as the mirror, can be dressed", the whole copper mirror is antique, very exquisite, and the preservation is also very well-preserved.
Li Wangshan said a little strangely: "Isn't this just a bronze mirror, what's rare?"
Ding Tianjun said: "So, it's terrible to be uneducated, do you know when this is the bronze mirror?"
Li Wangshan shook his head and nodded again: "It seems to be from the Song and Jin periods." ”
"It's kind of eye-catching. Ding Tianjun said: "Then let me ask you, during the Song and Jin dynasties, there was an inscription of 'copper as a mirror, but you can be dressed properly', is there a lot of this kind of incorruptible inscription?"
"I don't know much about this, isn't it rare?" Li Wangshan asked rhetorically.
"It's the same as what you just requested, it's rare. Ding Tianjun said.
Meng Zitao also nodded yes.
At this time, Zhang Jingqiang said with a smile: "Hearing you say this, I remembered a story, 'Why do you need two hundred miles to return to the face', have you ever heard of it?"
Li Wangshan shook his head and said he hadn't heard of it.
Meng Zitao smiled: "You're talking about Lu Mengzheng, right?"
When Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong was in power, Lü Meng was the prime minister, he was loyal and generous, and Taizong knew him very well.
It is said that there was a courtier (ancient Fan refers to the central officials), he had a bronze mirror hidden in his home, claiming to be able to shine for 200 miles, and he wanted to dedicate this ancient mirror to Lu Mengzheng through Lu Mengzheng's younger brother, so as to please the other party.
Lu Mengzheng's younger brother told his brother about this, and after hearing this, Lu Mengzheng said with a smile: "My face is only the size of a saucer, how can I use it to take two hundred miles?" in order to reject the other party's idea of bribing him.
After hearing this, Li Wangshan said with a smile: "The author of this story is also bragging, how can there be a mirror that can look at 200 miles? Even if it is a telescope, it is terrible for an ordinary person to be able to take a few kilometers, besides, there was no such technology at that time?"
This story is just to reflect Lu Mengzheng's integrity, how can it be understood only according to the original meaning of the story. ”
Ding Tianjun smiled, and then said: "Do you want this bronze mirror, if you want it, let's talk about it in advance, the thing is my friend's, and the price is not cheap." ”
"I don't really think much about the bronze mirror, let me think about it. After Li Wangshan carefully observed the bronze mirror, he then put it in front of Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao picked up the bronze mirror and appreciated it, and found that the bronze mirror did conform to the characteristics of the bronze mirror in the Song and Jin dynasties, and the pulp was also excellent, and it looked like it had been collected for many years.
However, just as he was about to confirm the results, he noticed a mistake, the shape of the pig was wrong.
獬豸 is also known as 獬廌, 解豸 (xièzhi), is a mythical beast in ancient myths and legends in our country, the big one is like a cow, the small one is like a sheep, similar to a unicorn, the whole body has thick and dark hair, the eyes are bright and godly, and there is usually a horn on the forehead, commonly known as a unicorn.
The pig has a high level of wisdom and understands human nature. Its eyes are wide open, it can distinguish between right and wrong, it can know good and evil, and when it finds an evil official, it touches him down with his horns and eats his stomach. It is a symbol of courage and justice, and a symbol of judicial "righteousness and brightness", "peace and justice" and "a bright world".
Meng Zitao was a little hesitant in his heart, whether to say this matter to his face, after all, Ding Tianjun studied antiques and miscellaneous, and the bronze mirror was also included, and now he was stunned, and he said it directly, which was somewhat suspicious of being slapped in the face.
Fortunately, Li Wangshan thought about it, and finally did not ask for this bronze mirror, so that Meng Zitao felt that he could find an opportunity to talk to Ding Tianjun alone.
Ding Tianjun saw that Li Wangshan didn't want it, and said: "You kid, you said that just now, and now you say that, if you knew it, I shouldn't have paid attention to you!"
Li Wangshan smiled and asked Meng Zitao, "Brother Meng, I don't know if you have any ideas?"
Meng Zitao also said that he was not interested in the bronze mirror, and politely refused.
This made Zhang Jingqiang's face next to him flash a hint of discoloration, he knew that as long as the things were good, Meng Zitao would want them, what does this mean now? Is there something wrong with this bronze mirror?
Originally, Ding Tianjun didn't have any other thoughts about Meng Zitao's answer, but he noticed the different color on Zhang Jingqiang's face, and his heart moved.
He opened his mouth and said, "Meng Xiaoyou, if there is anything wrong with this bronze mirror, please tell me truthfully." ”
Zhang Jingqiang knew that it should be his own performance that was too obvious, so Ding Tianjun noticed it, and handed Meng Zitao an embarrassed look.
Meng Zitao didn't give a direct answer, and asked, "Shopkeeper Ding, I don't know if you have studied the direction of the horn of the hedgehog?"
"One-horned direction?" Ding Tianjun frowned and recalled carefully for a moment, and finally suddenly said: "I understand, hey, I didn't expect to make such a mistake!"
"Lao Ding, what's going on?" Li Wangshan was very curious.
Ding Tianjun said: "From the perspective of genealogy, because the core function and value of the deer pig is to use a single horn to 'touch the one who cannot be straight', so the direction of the unicorn should be forward, or at least leaning forward; if the unicorn is facing backwards, how can it use the unicorn to touch the unstraight side? But the horn of the stone carving of the Ming Dynasty in front of the Ming Tombs is backward. ”
Li Wangshan said: "You mean to say that since the Ming Dynasty, the horns of the hedgehog have been backwards?"
Ding Tianjun said: "Yes, it should be the Ming Dynasty who changed the direction of the unicorn of the pig. ”
Meng Zitao agreed: "Now, after preliminary research, taking the Ming Dynasty as the boundary, the unicorn objects or images preserved in the previous dynasties of the Ming Dynasty have obvious forward or forward tilts, and since the Ming Dynasty, they have turned, and the horns have fallen backwards or even backwards on the scalp. ”
"For example, in the imperial tomb of the Song Dynasty, there is also a pair of unicorns in front of the tomb, but the single horn grows on the end of the nose, which should be called the 'horn end'. Despite this, the horn is still facing forward. And the work of this bronze mirror is not problematic in other aspects, but in the direction of the unicorn, it is handled incorrectly. ”
Zhang Jingqiang and Li Wangshan took a look and found that it was really like that, the horns of the hedgehog were facing backwards, which obviously did not conform to the characteristics of the Song Dynasty.
Meng Zitao continued: "However, I think this bronze mirror should not be a modern imitation, and the production age is estimated to be in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty......
Just as Meng Zitao was about to explain in detail, there was a sudden noise outside.
Ding Tianjun frowned slightly, and then invited everyone to sit down for a while, and he walked out of the reception room.
However, after a while, the noise outside became louder, which made everyone a little strange, so they all walked out of the room to see what was going on.
Walking outside, Meng Zitao found that the man was arguing with a young man, both of whom were loud, so that there was only their roar in the room.
At this time, Ding Tianjun pointed outside and told the man to get out, and then the guy stepped forward and grabbed the man's food and dragged it out, but the other party was not to be outdone, he just didn't leave, and he was scolding.
Li Wangshan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lao Ding, what's going on?"
Ding Tianjun scolded the man angrily: "Hurry up and get out, otherwise I will call the police!"
Then, he explained to everyone angrily: "This person is here to sell things, saying that it is an ancestral thing, when I look at it, it is a broken iron box, it is rusty, and he actually asks for 3,000 yuan, there is something wrong with his brain!"
When the man heard this, he was not happy, and shouted loudly, "Hey, I said how can you talk? I heard from others that you accept old things here, so you have brought the old things that have been hidden in your house for many years to show you.
Meng Zitao looked at the man, this person looked like he was in his thirties, and he was dressed okay, but his expression made him look a little unhappy, with his eyesight, this guy was very likely to be a bastard, and he came to blackmail one or two. And there is a high probability that it will not stop if it does not achieve its goal.
"I'm scolding you, hey, if I had beaten you up a few years earlier, Xiaocheng, kick him out for me!"
Ding Tianjun was also really annoyed, what Meng Zitao could see, he could also see that if he was ten years younger, it was really possible that he would go up to fight.
The guy got Ding Tianjun's order, increased his strength, and dragged the man out of the door...... (To be continued.) )
