Chapter 698: Doing the Game
Following the auctioneer's voice, the staff carefully lifted up a half-meter-high bronze and gently placed it on the stand in front of it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The moment the shield was lifted, the breathing of everyone present increased.
It's not jewelry, but it's like jewelry.
Bronze heavy objects have always been at the forefront of antiques, on the one hand, because of the scarcity of survival, and on the other hand, because of strict state control. It's basically impossible for this kind of big goods to circulate, and now one suddenly pops up, but anyone who has a little collection of knowledge, can you not be impressed?
In particular, several businessmen who have always been famous for their collections have their eyes straightened. As stupid as he stared at the bronze statue, he couldn't speak for a while.
The auctioneer was extremely satisfied with this scene.
Although a lot of things were filmed in the front, the atmosphere of the scene was not lively. As soon as this bronze heavy weapon came out, it immediately opened the scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after research, this is a bronze furnace unearthed in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi once wrote a poem: 'The bamboo chicken calls me out of Huaxu, and the bonlight is set off to burn it.' The essence is a stove for baking fires and heating. But the Dragon and Snake Town Ding Furnace we auctioned today is not an ordinary furnace. There is no shortage of great collectors, who can see what kind of stove this is?" said the auctioneer.
Everyone was slightly stunned and looked through the brochure in their hands.
I just read it over and over again, and the brochure only said that this stove is called Dragon Snake Zhending, and no other information was written.
And a few wealthy businessmen who were obsessed with collecting also looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Of course, they have collected a lot of things, and they have seen a lot of the world. But I really don't know much about bronzes, let alone this kind of side-door furnace.
"Lao Li, you have the most research on the cultural relics of the Northern Song Dynasty, what type do you think?"
"The shape of this stove is simple, the pattern is exquisite, and the head of the beast is even more lifelike, and there is a charm in it. Such a delicate thing obviously will not be built by ordinary people, but must come from a rich and noble family. I guess it's either the princes and nobles, or the royal family. If it's just a royal item, it doesn't seem to be compliant, and its pattern is snake-shaped, so it's even more unlikely to have anything to do with the royal dragon's picture. So I boldly deduced that this thing came from the mansion of a certain prince, and it was a stove used by the prince to roast his hands or feet during the winter. ”
Lao Li, who was named, replied confidently.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the admiration of many people.
"Lao Li really doesn't have any knowledge! It's not like we only know how to make money, and we can't say anything. ”
"It can't be compared, Lao Li was a history teacher before he went to the sea! A cultural person, he can speak, and his eyes are poisonous. ”
"Song Dynasty prince supplies, that's a good thing. Why don't you grab it later?"
Listening to the praise around him, Lao Li proudly bowed his hand to the surroundings and thanked everyone for their uplift.
But when Lao Li gave his hand in the direction of Wang Yong, he heard the corners of Wang Yong's mouth twitch and let out a "hehe".
This caused Lao Li's dissatisfaction.
"What do you mean, sir, by that expression? Do you think I'm not right?"
Lao Li's question immediately shifted everyone's attention to Wang Yong in an instant.
When people saw that it was Wang Yong, they were all stunned.
Isn't this the master who overpowered Fang Zhichao just now? Why, he also has research on antiques?
Because Wang Yong's performance just now was too fierce, most people didn't dare to speak for a while, for fear of offending Wang Yong.
However, there are people who are good friends with Lao Li, and they still said lukewarmly: "Interlacing is like separating mountains, and high kung fu may not necessarily be high in culture." There are more illiterate generals in history, and it is better to remain in awe of what they don't understand. ”
Although these words did not explicitly refer to Wang Yong, anyone could hear it, and it was addressed to Wang Yong.
Hearing this, Li Jinwu looked at the person who spoke, her eyes showed a cold color, and she whispered to Wang Yong: "This person has a good relationship with Fang Zhichao, so he deliberately scolded you, don't bother him." I'll knock him on later. ”
Wang Yong nodded: "Well, thank you." But I prefer to have revenge on the spot. He said that I was a reckless man, and I had to prove it to him, and I had never met a reckless man as literate as me. ”
"......" the chestnut woman was speechless for a while. How can anyone sell himself and boast?
In an uproar, Wang Yong stood up.
When everyone looked at Wang Yong's posture, they were startled at first, and then became excited.
"It's a good show again! Guess it's the left cheek or the right cheek?"
"I guess it's a fist knock down, don't you look at the face of the surnamed Wang who looks impatient?"
"It's boring to solve it too quickly......"
Everyone regarded Wang Yong's beating as a pleasure, and everyone looked forward to Wang Yong putting on a big show again.
Even the person who provoked Wang Yong trembled suddenly, looked at Wang Yong and said, "What are you doing......? I didn't say anything about you!"
The critical moment was cowardly.
Wang Yong smiled slightly: "It's okay, you didn't say me, but I said you." You probably don't know, but I'm actually quite literate. ”
"Uh......" The guests were speechless. Is there any culture that others judge, how can anyone say that they are educated?
Although everyone didn't say anything, there was a faint contempt and ridicule in their eyes.
Wang Yong didn't seem to see it, but said a paragraph slowly: "Outside the Nanqi Gate, go to the altar for more than 100 steps, there is a furnace high, all things come to the stage, one person sings, and burns it." ”
"What the hell?" the others were all stunned.
Could it be that a piece of classical Chinese means that there is culture? If it is true, then there are too many literate people in the world. Who doesn't know a few sentences of classical Chinese, such as "Chirp and chirp, Mulan flies the plane." What kind of machine is opened, Boeing 747"; for example, "the young man who left home and returned to the eldest child, and he liked to be a father at the age of twenty-three"; and for example, "there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the iron pestle is sharpened into embroidery needles".
Casually, it's the standard connotative verse. You can't admire it!
Wang Yong's words did not attract people's attention, but became more and more full of ridicule.
Only Lao Li was shocked after hearing Wang Yong's words, and then fell into deep thought.
He first took out his mobile phone to find out what information, and then repeatedly compared the Dragon Snake Town Ding Furnace on the booth.
Silent for a long time.
Finally, someone discovered that something was wrong with Lao Li.
"What's wrong with Lao Li?
"It can't have anything to do with that kid's literary passage just now, right? If it does, it would be too. Does that kid really know that?"
There was a lot of talk.
And Wang Yong saw that Lao Li couldn't come to a conclusion for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Don't check, that passage is from Song Mengyuan's "Tokyo Menghualu Driving the Suburban Altar Salute", which tells the scene of the emperor's burning sacrifice. Therefore, this Dragon Snake Town Ding Furnace is not a prince's article at all, but a palace sacrificial utensil. This kind of utensil, let alone the prince, even the emperor and the emperor dare not bake their hands and feet, which is a great disrespect to God, and they will be impeached by the ministers on the spot. And you said that the prince roasted his feet, can I not laugh?"
Lao Li's face turned red, and he couldn't get off the stage: "Isn't this my inference? Besides, what you say may not be accurate!"
But as soon as Lao Li's voice fell, he heard the auctioneer speak: "What this gentleman said is completely correct. This dragon and snake town Ding furnace is indeed a royal sacrificial furnace in the Northern Song Dynasty, the body of the Ding is covered with thunder patterns, and the pattern of snake-shaped dragon claws is carved on it, which is really Jiao. The four heads of the beast are gluttonous, symbolizing the abundance of food. Above the ears is a tiger bite human head pattern, the tiger's head goes around the upper part of the bronze ear, and the mouth is facing each other. In the middle of the tiger's ears there is a human head, which was devoured by the tiger's head, and the meaning is unknown. The inside of the furnace is carved with cloud and thunder flame patterns, which extend to the bottom of the furnace. Experts preliminarily deduced that this thing was used by the emperor to sacrifice the earth, and the emperor was the earth queen, and the earth was the mother of the earth. The reason why the pattern does not use a dragon, but uses Jiao, is because Jiao is a female and can represent motherhood. ”
"I rub it, it's real?"
"It's really a royal priest's supplies! Even Lao Li looked away, but that kid said it was exactly right, could it be that his attainments in this area are deeper than Lao Li?"
"The facts are in front of you, what else can you guess. Lao Li is indeed inferior to others. ”
Public opinion turned around in an instant, and they all began to praise Wang Yong's erudition. Let's not talk about whether you can recognize this furnace as a sacrificial furnace, just Wang Yong memorizes that passage of classical Chinese and reports its source, it is amazing.
Just now, someone searched for a long time with a mobile phone, but they couldn't find the specific source. It can be seen that this passage is very obscure, and it is impossible to answer it without having a fairly knowledgeable cultural foundation.
It turns out that Wang Yong said that he is cultured, not to brag, but to be really cultured!
"Sir, highly talented, taught. Lao Li adjusted quickly, and immediately threw in defeat at Wang Yong.
And the person who provoked Wang Yong was speechless with a red face. He said that Wang Yong was illiterate, but now that Wang Yong is not only literate, but also erudite, far surpassing everyone present.
If even Wang Yong is a reckless man, then what are the others?
For a while, the man gained a lot of white eyes, and his face became even more ugly.
Wang Yong ignored the man and sat down. It's just a clown jumping beam, Fang Zhichao has been taken down, this kind of little flea is not in Wang Yong's eyes at all.
"Well, although there is a little bit of a dispute, in my opinion, an academic dispute is not called a dispute, it is called research and discussion. I would also like to thank the two gentlemen who discussed it. The auctioneer is worthy of being a professional, and he neatly rounded up this episode.
"Next, the auction of this dragon and snake town furnace has officially begun! The starting price is 30 million yuan! Each additional price shall be subject to the whole number, and shall not be less than 100,000 yuan. Auction, let's go!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a merchant couldn't wait to raise the bidding card.
"40 million!"
It was neat and straightforward, and the price was directly increased by 10,000 yuan, which attracted a lot of exclamations from the scene.
"I have long heard that Boss Fan is determined to win this thing, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless, and I came up to increase the price by 10 million. Don't let those who have the idea of fishing in troubled waters participate in the bidding!"
"yes, I still want to hold up a sign and have a good time. I didn't expect to be directly knocked out of the game. Come on, let's watch the big bosses play. I guess this thing might end up fetching a sky-high price!"
"I think so, too, and even more than 100 million is possible. ”
In the midst of the crowd's discussions, an old man in a yellow horse coat sat in the back row, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the bosses bidding in front of him and muttered to himself: "100 million yuan want to take this thing? Bosses, I'm afraid you're going to vomit blood today!"
