As the sun rises, the ghost market disperses, and the shops on both sides of Dongcheng Street have opened their doors one after another to start doing business, and at the end of the street, there is an antique shop with three golden characters on the black lacquer background written "Bao Rong Zhai".

Looking inside from the open door, it is only about ten square meters, two shelves and counters occupy most of the space, sofa and tea tables can only choose small ones, and the rest is just a half-meter-wide passage that can walk people, no matter how you look at it, it seems a little cramped.

Jiang Hua sat on the chair behind the counter, and the thick cloth in front of him rested on the red mountain jade dragon that had just been retrieved.

Hongshan refers to the Hongshan culture, which appeared in northeastern China between 3800 and 2700 BC, has a mature social system, and is a prehistoric civilization.

According to the archaeological excavations of cultural relics, jade is an important representative of this culture, mainly including hoof-shaped and hole-shaped discs two forms, the hoof-shaped style is worn on the hair ornaments, with holes disc style is the most important is that the jade dragon is likely to originate from the open ring or Jue, it is also called pigron, is the ornament hanging on the clothes or body.

"Grandma, what the hell is going on? This thing shouldn't be here. ”

Jiang Hua stretched out his hand and dialed the jade dragon, it is shaped like the English letter "C", the dragon's head is relatively short, the transverse plane is oval, there is a large hole in the middle, and there is a small hole in the place where the dragon's head goes down, whether it is from the jade quality or from the point of view of the pondering process, it is a typical Hongshan jade dragon.

After all, when the Hongshan site was discovered in the early 20th century, it was during the social turmoil in China, and a large number of excavated cultural relics were lost and scattered everywhere.

The problem is that Jiang Hua is very sure that this one in front of him should be collected in the Huaxia Special Museum of the British Empire Museum - and now he has found it from a stall in the ghost market, which is full of evil.

Jiang Hua can become a master of restoration, in addition to hard training, the most important thing is that he was born with a pair of "tenth-level fitter" hands, no matter what it is, as long as he has used it, the size, weight, and shape are ...... Even the fine lines that can only be seen under high-magnification can be seen clearly and palpable.

In his previous life, he had used his work to get his hands on the jade dragon in the collection of the British Imperial Museum, and it was impossible to make a mistake.

There are two identical jade dragons in the world?

Not to mention prehistoric societies, even now that high-tech technology has been extremely developed, it is impossible to make two identical things.

"Do you mean...... Now the British Empire Museum in this world does not have this jade dragon......? Can...... Is it possible?"

Jiang Hua was so frightened by the thought that appeared in his mind that he almost jumped.

There are no two identical jade dragons in the world, and if you have them in your own hands, aren't they in the British Empire Museum?

"What if...... There is a collection of the Red Mountain Jade Dragon in the museum, and you can definitely find its information. ”

Jiang Hua chattered nervously as he quickly opened the website of the British Imperial Museum.

In the previous life, the jade dragon was on public display in the British Empire Museum, which means that anyone who goes to the museum can see it, and the relevant information can definitely be found on the website.

There are no guests Bao Rong Zhai is very quiet, from time to time the sound of tapping the keyboard or mouse "pop pop" is as crisp as jelly beans, Jiang Hua's eyes widened, staring at the screen, more than half an hour has passed, the official website of the British Imperial Museum has not found any information related to the Red Mountain Jade Dragon.

"Do you mean...... In this world, the Red Mountain Jade Dragon is not a collectible on public display?"

Jiang Hua rubbed his eyes that were a little dry, and remembered Stein's secret room?

In the previous life, the British Empire Museum collected a large number of Chinese treasures, only less than one percent of them were openly unfolded, and more were collected in various secret rooms, because they were afraid of Huaxia claiming back, among them, there is a secret room called "Stein" secret room in the legend, and only a few outsiders have seen the Chinese treasures collected in it for a hundred years.

If the British Empire Museum has a Red Mountain Jade Dragon, the only possibility is that it is a private collection in this world, but in this way, doesn't it mean that there are two identical Jade Dragons in the world?

Jiang Hua picked up the jade dragon, shone it against the light, and slowly put it down, he felt that the biggest possibility was that in this world, the British Imperial Museum did not collect the Red Mountain Jade Dragon, at least not the one he found.

But how can it be proven?

Jiang Hua suddenly thought of a way, the museum has a special person responsible for "collecting" the collection, the cultural and archaeological value of the Red Mountain Jade Dragon is very high, and the British Empire Museum will definitely be interested if it does not have a collection.

Just do it, Jiang Hua immediately wrote an email to the British Empire Museum, which roughly means that he is an antique dealer, and he accidentally found a jade dragon of the Chinese Hongshan culture, and asked if the museum was interested.

After the email was written, Jiang Hua took a few more photos of Yulong with his mobile phone and sent them together.

"Jiang Hua, where did you kid die?"

As soon as Jiang Hua sent out the mail, there was a sound like a broken gong outside the store, and then a person rushed in, looked up, and found that it was Zhao Tie.

Jiang Hua let Zhao Tie sit down on the sofa, and casually filled a white iron kettle with water and put it on the stove.

"What's the good stuff lately?"

Zhao Tie raised his eyebrows, and said in a suppressed voice, it is really a good product. ”

"Oh, what's that?"

Jiang Hua owes his body, there are too few good things in the store, and if he wants to support the situation, he has to start with hard goods.

Zhao Tie is also a celebrity on Dongcheng Street, well-informed, knows who wants what goods, and knows who has what goods, and he is a master of fiber pulling.

Fiber pulling is the jargon in the collection, which is not about pulling a boat in the river, but refers to a middleman or introducer, who collects commissions by introducing buyers and sellers to transactions, generally 3% of the seller's transaction price, and 2% of the buyer's price, which is commonly known as "three into two". However, this is the old rule, and now the buyer generally pays, and the specific amount is also decided by negotiation.

"Book stickers, someone has a book sticker in their hand to sell. ”

Zhao Tie leaned closer, and continued in a low voice, "Zhao Mengfu's." ”

"Oh?

Jiang Hua raised his eyebrows and said in disbelief, "I think it's fake, right?"

Zhao Mengfu Ziang Songxue Daoren, a famous calligrapher, painter and poet in the early Yuan Dynasty, the eleventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was erudite and talented, poetry, calligraphy, painting, gold and stone, and Lu ...... All of them are fine, especially painting and calligraphy, which painting created a new style of painting in the Yuan Dynasty, known as "the crown of the Yuan people", calligraphy is even more unbelievable, seal, subordinate, true, line, cursive, especially Kai, line calligraphy, charming and beautiful, strict knots, familiar penmanship, create "Zhao Ti", and Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and called "regular script four masters".

Zhao Mengfu has a very high status in the history of Chinese calligraphy, according to the "Yuan History" record, "Mengfu seal is subordinate to the true line of grass all crown ancient and modern, so the name of the book in the world", the Ming Dynasty, Song Lian once said, Zhao Mengfu calligraphy early years to learn "wonderful understanding of the eight methods, pay attention to the ancient" Siling (that is, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou) book, middle-aged learning "Zhong Xuan and Xi Xian Zhujia", in his later years he studied Li Beihai. In addition, Wang Shimao said that Zhao Mengfu "Wen Minshu mostly comes from the two kings (Xizhi and Xianzhi), and his body is tight, so he will get the right army; his posture is good, he will get the great order, and the book tablet will imitate Li Beihai's "Yuelu" and "Suoluo" style. Yu Ji said that Zhao Mengfu's "model method won the "Luo Shen Fu", and won its standard. Perform the book "Holy Order" and enter its room. As for cursive writing, it is full of "Seventeen Posts" and its shape. ”

Zhao Mengfu is a calligrapher who belongs to the collection of Jin and Tang calligraphy, and his contemporaries of the calligrapher respected him, and in later generations, he is considered to be one of the four masters of regular script, Yan, Liu, Ou, Zhao in Zhao refers to Zhao Mengfu, there are "Luo Shen Fu", "Tao Te Ching", "Bile Ba Tablet", "Xuan Miao Guan Rebuild Three Gates", "Linhuang Ting Jing" and other books and other books are still alive,

It is precisely because he has a pivotal position in the history of Chinese calligraphy that every calligraphy he has handed down is a treasure.

And now someone is actually shooting?

It's weird when you hear it.

It is said that it has been passed down for nearly ten generations, and now my mother is seriously ill or something, and she is short of money, so she has to sell it. ”

Jiang Hua pouted, there are not many other stories in the antique industry, what is the time to dig out a Yuan blue and white when you are planting, or when you are demolishing the house, you find that the paintings of the Bada Shanren in the mezzanine are endless, and the most is that the family is so sick that they sell their heirlooms - the story is heard a lot, and I already have immunity.

"Hey, hey, it's real, I've got a picture here, you can see if you're interested." ”

Zhao Tie took out his mobile phone, opened a photo and pushed it in front of Jiang Hua.

"Not interested...... Huh?"

Jiang Hua's tea bowl stopped in mid-air, his eyes staring at Zhao Tie's mobile phone.

Zhao Tie smiled proudly and said, "How about it, the thing is good, I just said it, you must be interested." ”

Slowly lowering the tea bowl, Jiang Hua settled down, picked up Zhao Tie's mobile phone, and looked at it carefully for a while before he was sure that he was not dazzled.

"How is it possible?"

Jiang Hua raised his head sharply and glared

Zhao Tie said, "Fake! This must be fake!"

Zhao Tie stopped doing it now, twisted his neck, and said, "Jiang Hua, we are familiar with each other, but you have to explain this matter to me clearly, this is just a photo, how can you tell that this thing is fake?"

"The real thing is stored in the Tokyo Museum, and this is another one, what about the ghost?

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Tie laughed loudly, pointed at Jiang Hua and said, "I thought it was so awesome that I could identify it as a fake just by looking at a photo, but it turned out that this was the case." ”

"Jiang Hua, I'll buy you a ticket to the island country of Tokyo now, as long as you can find Zhao Mengfu's "Thirteen Journeys of the Orchid Pavilion" in that broken museum, don't say anything, how about I pay you a million? If you can't find it, I don't want your money, you just admit your mistake. ”

"Ah? Zhao Mengfu's "Orchid Pavilion Preface Thirteen Treks" is not in the Tokyo Grand Museum?"

As soon as Jiang Hua spoke, he immediately remembered the Red Mountain Jade Dragon that he had just found in the morning.

Could it be that in this world, "The Thirteen Journeys of the Orchid Pavilion" is not collected in the Tokyo Imperial Museum?

Zhao Tie glanced at Jiang Hua with disdain and said, "I don't know where you got the news, just give me a word, are you interested." ”

"Yes! When will you see the goods?"

Jiang Hua did not hesitate and nodded immediately.

"Tonight, at ten o'clock, I'll pick you up, and there's still something to do, I'll go first. ”

Zhao Tie left, only Jiang Hua was left in Baorong Zhai, the spout of the white iron pot on the stove was already "fluttering" with white mist, but he sat like a stone statue for a long time, stunned and motionless.
