You know, the artistic level of many bronze mirrors is definitely better than porcelain, but it is a pity that domestic trading is prohibited, otherwise, the overall price of bronze is definitely much higher than porcelain.

After gently putting the bronze mirror back on the table, Zhang Tianyuan looked at Mo Xie and said with a smile: "Brother, we Mingren don't say dark words, these two bronze mirrors shouldn't have been handed down from our ancestors, right?"

Hearing Zhang Tianyuan's words, the old shopkeeper's heart tightened, for fear that the other party's dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, but he saw that Mo Ye just smiled faintly and said: "The boss is joking, this thing has been kept at home, since I can remember, it has been more than 20 years now, why is it not ancestral?"

Mo Ye is very calm, although he was said by Zhang Tianyuan, but he can deal with it calmly, this kind of person is not easy to mess with.

However, he was actually very surprised by Zhang Tianyuan's judgment in his heart, and said in his heart that this young man had some real skills.

"Yes, but according to my judgment, this bronze mirror will probably not be unearthed for more than two years. You said that you saw it when you were remembering, are you a reincarnated monster?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with a smile.

His judgment was naturally judged from the traces of patina on the bronze.

As mentioned before, there are two ways to give birth to the cooked pit, and one of them refers to the fact that the "Shengkeng" bronze ware has been circulated for a long time after being unearthed, and it has been naturally worn or artificially cleaned, so that its natural form changes to a surface similar to wax, and the bottom layer still contains the original color of the "Shengkeng". Most of the heirlooms are basically from "raw pits" to "cooked pits", and there are basically no traces of unearthing in the future.

Another type of man-made chemical cleaning. Leave it alone for now, and for now this bronze. But it was obviously played with after it was unearthed, resulting in a certain waxy texture. However, it is not very obvious, and based on this judgment, it is possible to determine the approximate time of excavation.

At this time, Mo Ye's expression finally changed slightly, but it was only a slight change, and soon he recovered his normal expression, looked at Zhang Tianyuan and said: "Boss, do you want something or are you here to investigate? Could it be that the boss is a plainclothes man? There are some things, you just know and I know, and it will be boring to say it." The owner thinks the stuff is good. If you want it, then exchange it, and if you don't think it's good, then don't talk nonsense, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth......"

These words, in fact, are already threatening, to put it bluntly, it is "less nosy, if you want to buy things, just say." If you don't buy it, keep your mouth shut and be careful of dying. ”

For such a threat, Zhang Tianyuan naturally didn't care, but he didn't want to anger this person too much. And the other party is also right, he is here to do business, not to help Tiaozi investigate tomb robbery. There's no need to push people too hard.

"Since my brothers have said so, I'll open the skylight and say something. The price of that bloodstone seal is around one million, and I'm afraid these two things won't be enough. You're a connoisseur, so you should know how much these two bronze mirrors cost......"

When Zhang Tianyuan said this, he was actually a little nervous, he was afraid that Mo Ye would also know the true origin of these two bronze mirrors, in that case, his bloodstone seal, I am afraid that he would not be able to exchange these two things, but this is the antique business, you know more, you will take advantage, Zhang Tianyuan now not only wants these two bronze mirrors, but also Mo Ye to provide more things.

Anyway, his bloodstone seal is clearly priced, a million is a million, there is nothing to say, but this bronze, the price has a lot of room for expansion, it can be said that it is worth tens of thousands of dollars, it can also be said that it is worth tens of millions of dollars, this thing is not accurate, especially when it is traded in private, and it is even more so when it is not completely eaten through.

"Do these two bronze mirrors really have one eye?" The old shopkeeper on the side was still a little hesitant, and reminded Zhang Tianyuan: "Boss, you have to look carefully, I have to remember the lesson last time." ”

Zhang Tianyuan smiled bitterly in his heart, this old shopkeeper really had been bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and he was about to go wrong.

The "one eye" in the mouth of the old shopkeeper is the jargon of the antique world, which means that this object is good, and it is a thing that opens the door widely.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "Old Yu shopkeeper, this thing is really good, I am a real person, and I don't want to tell lies." ”

"These two things, each is worth about 200,000 yuan, I won't ask for it, it's really not enough for a million, but boss, I have another thing in my hand, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it......"

Mo Ye seemed to have already estimated the price of the two bronze mirrors, and he said it directly at this time, and he was completely prepared for what to do if it was less than one million.

As he spoke, Mo Xie took out a bottle of pure water from his backpack and drank it, although there was coffee on the table, he didn't drink it, so cautious, it looked like it was quite hard.

"200,000 yuan is too expensive, are you bullying me for not understanding this, brother, if you sell this bronze mirror to anyone, it will not exceed 100,000 yuan! To put it mildly, although foreign auctions may be much more expensive, can you get it out? You still have to sell it to those smugglers, they will never give you more than 100,000 yuan, am I right?"

Although the price of these two bronze mirrors is not low, if they are auctioned on the international market, they can be sold for at least four or five million RMB, but there are not many people who can take these things out and sell them, and they all have to risk being caught, so when they are purchased, the price is quite low.

"Then you give me a price. Mo Xie said lightly.

"120,000 bronze mirrors, that's interesting, right?" Zhang Tianyuan's bid was a little higher than that of the smugglers, although it was not a lot, but it was not harmful to Mo Xie.

"Let's be honest, although I'm a bit of a way, but it's still risky to acquire this thing, you often do this, you should understand, right?" Zhang Tianyuan continued to add.

"Okay, 120,000 is 120,000, deal!" Mo Xie nodded after thinking about it for a while.

"Happy, by the way, you just said that you still have something in your hand, did you bring it?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"Bring it, but boss, this thing is expensive, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it, if you want it, in addition to compensating for the rest of the bloodstone seal, you have to pay me a lot of money, I just need cash." Mo Xie still had a very calm expression, as if nothing could make him nervous.

"Hahaha. ”

"What are you laughing at?"

"What are you laughing at? I said brother, the last thing our boss lacks is money, as long as what you have in your hand is good, then he can afford to pay. Of course, the premise is that your stuff is 'clean' and not gone. The old shopkeeper answered Mo Ye's question for Zhang Tianyuan.

The so-called walking light actually means being targeted.

There are some tomb robbers, when they steal things, they will not take all the things, saying that this is a rule set by the ancestors, and they must abide by it, otherwise something will happen.

However, the direct result of this is to let the relevant departments find the tomb robber through the objects left behind by Guò.

So it's the kind of tomb robber who doesn't pay attention to principles and steals everything in the tomb, but it's not easy to find, because you don't have any clues, and once he steals something, it's hard to confirm that it was stolen from the tomb.

Mo Xie chuckled very confidently: "Regarding this, you two can rest assured, what do I do, I will not make such a pediatric mistake......"

Zhang Tianyuan also believes in Mo Ye's methods, this person has been a tomb robber for almost 20 years, and he has made a lot of things, but he has not been arrested so far, which shows his ability, if he is really targeted, it can only be regarded as Zhang Tianyuan's bad luck, but he met the unlucky Mo Ye.

However, the chances of this are very low, unless it is a specially arranged plot in TV series and movies.

"Well, take out what you said and I'll take a look, and as long as it's true, I'll give you a reasonable price. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"Boss isn't afraid that this is a parallel shipment?" Mo Xie asked with a smile.

"You're not afraid, I'm afraid of anything. Zhang Tianyuan said lightly.

"Well, bold. Mo Xie took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, and soon, a waiter dressed as a person walked in and brought a plate, if you don't pay attention to it, you will definitely think it is a waiter in the café, but after this person took out the red cloth on the tray, what was exposed underneath was a beautiful bronze.

No, exactly two pieces, a pair of bronzes.

"Is this Father Bingjue?" When Zhang Tianyuan saw this pair of bronze jukes, the whole person was shocked, although he had never seen this thing, but he had heard of it.

Jue, drinking utensils and ritual vessels.

It was popular in the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, and its role was equivalent to that of a wine glass. Rounded abdomen, there are also individual square abdomen, there is a chute at the front end of the mouth on one side, a pointed tail at the back, a column between the flow and the mouth, a handle on the side of the abdomen, and three conical feet below.

Xia Daijue's carcass body is light and thin, the system is rough, the oval body is long and narrow, the tail is short, there are no columns between the mouths, flat bottoms, there are generally no inscriptions and patterns, and there are occasional beaded patterns. In the early Shang period, short columns began to appear between the flow and the mouth, and the lower abdomen was hollow, and some had round holes through the holes to allow ventilation when warm wine was added to the fire.

After the middle Shang period, Jue evolved into a round body, a round bottom, and a higher mouth, with one or two more columns, and the column body was lengthened and moved back, with three thick legs and sharp edges and corners, and a thickened body. From the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the body of the jue is thick and heavy, and the system is exquisite; the body of the jue is decorated with exquisite ornaments such as gluttony, cloud thunder, banana leaves, etc., and the upper end and the pillar are also decorated with animal images, and there are a few jue without pillars and with a cover, and the cover is cast into the shape of a beast's head.

In the early period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was also a kind of vessel with a ridge of Jue, which was often made of cloud and thunder patterns, decorated with two or three layers of patterns, and the ornamentation was complex and exquisite. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Jue gradually disappeared.

And this father Bingjue is a bronze jue in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, with a very exquisite shape and a high value. (To be continued......)
