Chapter 34: The Underground Black Market (4)
It's still the old rule, the bald head took the official seal around the field for a week, and after the official seal was placed on the booth, the board brush head said: "The reserve price is 20,000 yuan, and the initial inspection will begin." Before he finished speaking, Chen Yan couldn't wait to take Tang Feng to take the lead in the booth, Tang Feng shook his head, this guy is very happy, and he is really not suitable for playing collectibles. But this also reflects from one side that this person is not scheming, at least not as cunning as himself, and is a friend worth dating.
There are very few official seals in the Tang Dynasty, which has a lot to do with the official system of the Tang Dynasty, and the law of the Tang Dynasty has a rule: all officials who are promoted, told the old, dismissed, and martyred must hand over the seal. If this official seal is really the official seal of the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely be worth more than one million.
The official seal of the Tang Dynasty is directly cast with copper water, and there is a nose button on it, and the button is the handle of the official seal, and the eye on the button resembles a human nose, so it is called the nose button. At that time, the official seals were all square Zhu Wen big seal, the side length was about 5.6 cm, the seal was Zhu Wen small seal, the official seal at all levels must have two words, this square seal letter was written on the seal of Tongzhou four words. Tang Feng can literally affirm that this Tongzhou refers to the North Tongzhou, don't look at the current Tongzhou under the jurisdiction of Beijing, the Tang and Song dynasties Tongzhou is parallel to Beijing Zhili Prefecture, Beijing at that time called Youzhou. Although Nantong Prefecture has been an important economic town since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was not opened as Zhili Prefecture until the second year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, which is a military reason, because the sixteen states of Youyun are all important military towns.
Tang Feng and the others moved up relatively quickly, and after he saw it, other people came around, and as soon as these people approached the booth, Tang Feng heard a sigh. Those big people who had been watching coldly were about to move, but after seeing it, they also shook their heads and sat back. But there were two exceptions, the middle-aged man and the short-haired beauty, who seemed to be very interested in this official seal.
This so-called Tongzhou official seal is the same as the official seal of the Tang Dynasty regardless of size and style, but there is no nose button, which is not the most deadly, and what makes them lose interest is that this official seal is fired with clay. Chen Yan asked Tang Feng in a low voice, "How is it?"
Tang Feng whispered in his ear: "It's not the real Tang Dynasty official seal. ”
"Alas. Chen Yan lost interest and returned to his seat in frustration.
Tang Feng returned to his seat and whispered to Chen Yan, "I'll tell you something, but your expression can't change?"
"You mean......" Chen Yan knew that if Tang Feng said this, there must be a turnaround, and his face began to change again, but soon, he gathered his excitement and asked Tang Feng in an expressionless whisper: "Say it quickly." ”
Tang Feng said in a low voice: "Although this is not the real official seal of the Tang Dynasty, this is the funeral seal of the Tang Dynasty officials. "In ancient China, after the death of the emperor, a large number of burial goods would be put into the burial; after the death of a civilian with a certain status, they would generally show their exploits on the tombstone, and there would be a tomb with a tomb, and there would be some altars and jars in it. In ancient times, officials would be buried with official seals after they died, but the official seals of the Tang Dynasty had to be handed over, which did not conform to folk customs. This kind of funeral official seal has no nose button, and of course, its value is far less than that of the official seal.
Tang Feng continued: "No matter what, this thing also has a market, and it should be worth more than 20,000 yuan in general, but ......"
"Don't! Don't!" Before Tang Feng finished speaking, Chen Yan immediately whispered: "Dead people's things, bad luck, and they are not worth much." If the people who shook their heads just now were all for this reason, it would be very wrong, which of so many museums in the country did not collect dead people's things, to put it bluntly, archaeology is legal tomb robbery.
"You'll listen to me. Tang Feng said: "But this is a funeral official seal of a Tang Dynasty celebrity, which has the value of collecting." ”
"Celebrity official seal?" Chen Yan immediately asked, "Which celebrity?"
There was still communication here, and the board brush head spoke, and he said: "Bosses, the reserve price is 20,000 yuan, and now you can bid." When he saw everyone's appearance, he knew that he was only afraid that he would "lose the auction" this time, so his Zhongqi was a little insufficient.
Sure enough, the audience was quiet, no one was bidding, and at this time, Tang Feng raised the bidding card.
Finally, someone bid, and the board brush head didn't think anyone would grab it, so he asked others as if he was going through the motions and announced the deal.
After the deal, Tang Feng asked Chen Yan, "Do you want it?"
This time Chen Yan didn't speak, he ran up directly to pay, he trusted Tang Feng's vision very much, celebrities are celebrities, and he is still a celebrity when he dies.
Chen Yan took back the official seal and lowered his voice and asked Tang Fengdao: "Which celebrity?" Li Bai is still Du Fu, and Bai Juyi is okay." "This guy has thought of a good thing.
As mentioned earlier, the funeral official seal, but some officials have held multiple official positions in their lives, and it is impossible for the imperial court to issue a funeral official seal when a person is not dead, so it is generally based on the last position held by the official. However, at that time, in order to prove the process of the ancestors' prosperity, the descendants of some officials would bury the official seals of their previous official positions with them, which led to the unofficial funeral official seals. The official funeral official seal is not signed, but the unofficial official seal is, and Tang Feng just saw the five small seals of "Tang Li Shizhi" on this funeral official seal.
"Li Shizhi, celebrity?" Chen Yan asked, "Why haven't you heard of it?" ”
The third sentence in Du Fu's "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" reads: Zuo Xiangri spends 10,000 dollars, drinks like a long whale and sucks a hundred rivers, and the cup of music is called avoiding the virtuous. The left phase in the poem refers to Li Shizhi, who drank among the eight immortals and the other seven immortals; and in modern times, there are He Zhizhang, Ruyang Wang Li Jin, poet immortal Li Bai, grass saint Zhang Xu and others. Li Shizhi once served as the assassin of Tongzhou, so he had this unofficial funeral official seal.
Tang Feng said in a low voice: "Put it away, this thing is very collectible." ”
Then a few more lots ended hastily, but they were not good things, and the big ones who were about to fall asleep finally couldn't bear it anymore. A middle-aged man with a big belly and a Pierre Cardin asked loudly: "The board brush head, they are all old customers, I have put up with you for a long time, you took some good things out, you didn't say it as soon as possible, who has the time to spend it here with you?"
He started this, and the others also began to coax, and the other said: "You called us to come, and here are all these unpopular goods, what time is this, what is your name?"
Although it is an underground black market, the concept that the customer is God still exists, and the board brush head had to laugh and say: "Everyone, don't worry, something good will come out soon, brothers, please bring out the Tang Dynasty Buddha statue." ”
Soon, the long hair came out of the back door a bronze Buddha statue, this Buddha statue is the size of the front of an ordinary computer case, it looks very heavy, but the surface of the Buddha statue is mottled, and it is covered with a lot of patina, and the condition is not good.
Seeing that everyone was going to leave for the initial inspection, the board brush head said unhurriedly: "Everyone, don't worry, it's time for dinner, this is the lot of the evening session, today's evening session is all good goods, you can prepare it, and the evening session will start in two hours." ”
Those who do business will have an appetite, but this time no one will talk more, it's not that they are afraid of the board brush head, because this guy has thrown off the code words. The fact that you can prepare it means that this thing is more expensive, and there are better things to prepare for it. On such occasions, even large families will not bring much cash, so they need a little time to prepare.
In this way, the afternoon session ended, Tang Feng walked unhurriedly to the head of the board brush and asked, "What is the price of this thing?" The head of the board brush did not answer this question immediately, he looked at Tang Feng first, at this time, the long hair came over and whispered a few words to the head of the board brush, and the attitude of the head of the board brush immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "The reserve price is 150,000, and there are high-grade things behind." It seems that he already knows that Tang Feng, who is not good-looking, has 200,000 cash around him alone.
The reserve price of 150,000 yuan made Tang Feng both excited and worried, he was excited because these guys did not grasp the true value of this Buddha statue, but he was worried that the money around him was not enough, and he couldn't compete with those people, this thing was too tempting.
