Chapter 233: Turquoise, Look at the Excitement (Four Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
(.)“ Tang Dynasty copper smoked balls? ”
At this time, Wang Guan sneered, put the things on the counter, shook his head and said: "Boss, Ming people don't say secret words, everyone is a peer, why do you bother to trick people." If this was something from the Tang Dynasty, I would have swallowed it directly. ”
"And what age do you say?" The shopkeeper's eyes rolled, and he felt a little weak.
"This workmanship, this craftsmanship, and this rust spot are clearly imitations of the Republic of China period."
At the same time, Wang Guan was not blushing, his heart was not beating, and he said righteously: "If it is something from the Tang Dynasty, for more than a thousand years, the rust must be firmly attached to the sphere, even if it is scraped with a sharp weapon." How could it be like now, as soon as you shake the smoked ball, the rust chips will fall with a clatter. From this you can see that it doesn't take long to make smoked balls. ”
"Brother, what a connoisseur."
Suddenly, the shopkeeper was convinced, of course, he didn't have to expect him to be ashamed, but cheekily smiled: "I'll test it a little, you won't mind." ”
"Of course not."
Now Wang Guan can be sure that this shopkeeper is just half a bucket of water, and it is too late to be happy, where will he be angry.
"That's good...... shopkeeper nodded and continued: "Although this is an imitation from the Republic of China, it is also a relatively rare thing, so the price is not cheap." ”
"Then it depends on whether you are kind or not, boss." Wang Guan said with a smile: "You must know that this thing was a fake during the Republic of China, and it can barely be called an antique now." No matter how cheap it is, it can't be much higher. ”
That's a bit biased. There were also a lot of good things during the Republic of China. ”
"That's right, but it doesn't include this smoked ball......"
In an instant, Wang Guan and the shopkeeper argued, arguing with reason, you came and went, talked for more than ten minutes, and finally reached an agreement with each other. Sold for 1,200 dollars.
For a moment, the two of them were satisfied, and they both felt that they had taken advantage. It's a win-win. Then, Liu Jing took out two hundred yuan and handed over the jade-inlaid ring to An Huanqing. As for Wang Guan, he directly swiped the card. Took the copper smoke ball.
"Goodbye boss!"
"Welcome to patronize, come often when you have time!"
After saying hello, Wang Guan and the others left the antique shop and disappeared into the street. After walking a long way, Wang Guan suddenly smiled and said, "You don't seem to be very happy, don't you think the jade ring is bad?" ”
"No ......"
At the right time, Baye was a little embarrassed and said: "I just think it's too cheap." ”
"Isn't it cheap good?" Wang Guan smiled: "Good quality and low price." ”
"That's not what it meant." Baye hesitated: "You said that the jade ring noodles are made of leftovers, is it true?" ”
Wang Guan suddenly realized, and hurriedly explained: "It's not leftovers. I was bargaining just now, of course, I have to devalue the jade-inlaid ring to worthless, so that I can lower the price. You must know that no matter how ordinary jade is, the price in the market will not be very low, and the texture of that jade-inlaid ring is not Lantian jade. ”
"Isn't it Lantian jade?" Bayeux was surprised. Liu Jing and An Huanqing next to him also paid great attention to it.
"I heard a friend who often plays jade say that Lantian jade is serpentinized marble, which belongs to the structure of cryptocrystalline, and if you look closely, you can see some fine textures."
Wang Guan smiled and said, "But I can't see these features on the jade inlaid in this ring, so I suspect that it is not Lantian jade." Of course. It's not fake jade either, it's turquoise. ”
"Turquoise?" Baye frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "It seems to be a very valuable gem." ”
"That's right, turquoise is one of the rarest precious gemstones in the world."
Wang nodded and said: "This gemstone is slightly blue, and it has a soft glass luster after polishing, which is exactly the same as the situation on the ring surface, so I think this ring face should be turquoise." ”
"Really?" An Huanqing was a little incredulous, and her round eyes revealed a look of surprise. You must know that the value of Lantian jade edge scrap and rare gems is many times different.
"Ninety percent sure it's turquoise."
Wang Guan smiled and said: "Besides, I am sure that it is definitely not Lantian jade, because the color of Lantian jade may be a little blue, but it is more white, beige, yellow-green, apple green, green-white and other colors, and it is rare to be so blue." So even if it's not a turquoise gemstone, it's probably some kind of chalcedony. ”
"Great, Xiao Wu, I missed it, I actually missed it." For a moment, An Huanqing hugged Liu Jing's arm and jumped happily like a child. Obviously, Baye's statement that they had watched the collection appraisal show was not a lie, otherwise An Huanqing would not have known the term omission.
Of course, whether it is Baye, Liu Jing, or Wang Guan himself, they will not deliberately remind An Huanqing at such a time, not because she missed it herself, but because of Wang Guan's credit.
At the same time, seeing An Huanqing so excited, Liu Jing secretly decided in his heart that even if the ring face was not turquoise, he would buy a real bag according to this appearance after he went back......
Baye next to him also took advantage of An Huanqing's lack of attention, and quietly asked, "Classmate Wang Guan, can you be sure?" ”
"Rest assured, I'm not blind yet." Wang Guan said softly, the reason why he is so sure is that he has already seen it with his special ability, and found that there is a faint layer of treasure light on the ring face, which is enough to be sure that it is not an ordinary thing.
"Hmm."
Baye nodded slightly, and showed a clear and sweet smile to congratulate An Huanqing.
After half a ring, the happy mood gradually faded, everyone was satisfied, and there was no interest in shopping, so they immediately drove back to the hotel with large bags and small bags.
During this period, when passing by a grocery store, Wang Guan asked Liu Jing to stop and go down to buy some things. Baye looked at it a little strangely, but Wang Guan didn't say anything, and she didn't want to ask too much.
Soon, everyone returned to the hotel, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not embarrassing or embarrassing. It's still early to eat, and it's not enough time to go to other attractions.
After discussing, Baye and An Huanqing simply went back to the room to sort out the harvest of shopping, and Liu Jing also followed alongside. Take the packaging materials and decorate the handicrafts one by one, ready to go back to give them to colleagues in the company.
As for Wang Guan, when he returned to the room at this time, he seemed to be playing with something.
Time passed unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, it was evening again, Bayeux and their gifts were wrapped, and Wang Guan also walked out of the room. Everyone was in a good mood, but they were also hungry, so they immediately went out for dinner. The time to come. It's similar to last night, watching the night view in the lively and bustling place of the provincial capital, and returning to the hotel to rest at nearly eleven o'clock.
The next morning. Everyone went to Wanshou Palace, another famous scenic spot in the provincial capital, with great interest.
The so-called Fortune King Pavilion, Fortune Wanshou Palace. As the Taoist holy land, the longevity palace is located in the Xianghu Lake Scenic Area, where the long causeway on both sides of the river is shady, the lake is dotted with small islands, the water in the north and south rivers is rippling, and the high-rise buildings on the east and west banks are reflected, and the scenery is very beautiful.
Wanshou Palace is on an island in the middle of the Elephant Lake, and there are long stone bridges on the left and right sides. After Wang Guan and others came, they found that there were many people who came here to visit and play. But more of them seem to be devout believers.
Walked through the stone bridge of the causeway, it is majestic, up to 10 meters of the archway, there is a famous inscription on it, the legend is Wang Xizhi, Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian's handwriting. I don't know if it's true or not.
Anyway, Wang Guan does not have a more serious meaning, after the huge archway, you can see the splendid Wanshou Palace. Yellow walls and red tiles, reasonable layout, generous design, exquisite carving. Spectacular. Of course, compared with King Teng's Pavilion, Wanshou Palace has many less literati characteristics and more religious solemnity.
The whole Wanshou Palace includes the palace gate, the instrument gate, the stage, the Zhenjun Palace, the Iron Pillar Well, the Jade Emperor Palace, the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, the Chen Mu Palace, the Doumu Palace, and the Jade Book Pavilion. After visiting the buildings one by one, Wang Guan can't say that it is very good, but it doesn't feel very bad.
However, next to the Jade Book Pavilion, the king saw the treasure of the town palace, known as the Wanshou Palace, which is said to be two meters long, and it is said to be a 100-million-year-old petrified wood that has gone through the vicissitudes of the world and the changes of the world.
At that time, Wang Guan wanted to scold his father. Petrified wood is petrified wood, but the quality is very poor, the surface is a layer of ordinary wood, that is, there are some yellow, white, gray and red fossils in the cross-section. Such a thing, dare to be embarrassed to describe it so mysteriously, and I don't know how to blush?
The architecture of the Wanshou Palace is not good to evaluate, but the treasure of the town palace is disappointing, but it seems that the scenery of the lake is good, the blue waves are waves, and the willows are fluttering. Looking from afar, I saw that the ancient buildings were built along the water, which really had a bit of elegant fairy meaning.
It was because of this solemnity and fairy spirit that several people visited silently, until more than an hour passed, and everyone walked around and out of the Wanshou Palace, and there were more words.
"No wonder the ticket is only twenty yuan, and the scenery is really not good."
Out of the door, An Huanqing commented, worthy of being a girl from Yucheng, straightforward and fast-talking, what to say.
"Hehe, Xiaoqing is right, from the comparison of the high and low tickets, you can know the advantages and disadvantages of the scenery inside." Liu Jing smiled and echoed without hesitation.
"It's really an afterthought, why didn't you say it in there just now, and you complained when you came out." Bayeux pursed his lips and smiled.
"In front of people, how embarrassed to expose people's shortcomings." Liu Jing said confidently: "And we are consumers, and we have the right to evaluate or give suggestions." Even if the people of Wanshou Palace know, they should accept it with an open mind. ”
"That's ......," Bayeux nodded in agreement.
Talking and laughing, the group walked across the stone bridge of the Long Causeway, ready to go to the next stop. However, at this time, they saw a corner on the side of the road, surrounded by more than a dozen people, as if they were watching something lively.
"What's going on?"
People are always curious, and Wang Guan and others are no exception, especially An Huanqing, who is full of curiosity, and goes directly into the crowd without even saying hello, wanting to see the situation inside.
"Xiaoqing, wait for me." Liu Jing hurriedly followed.
Seeing this situation, Wang Guan and Baye naturally walked over and squeezed into the innermost layer a little harder, only to see that there was a stall inside. The stall owner was a young man in his twenties, wearing a shabby cotton jacket and squatting on a brick.
In front of the young man was a stall, paved with more than a dozen newspapers, on which many old Taoist books were placed, as well as pages of charm drawings, as well as delicate-looking money strings, ornaments, ornaments, beasts, and mascots. If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many things, and they were placed on the stalls, it would clearly be a store dealing in religious supplies.
"Come on, come on, take a look."
Seeing that there were many people, the young man drank it: "Taoist charms, Taoist charms, spells and spells self-study textbooks, Taoist token seals, exorcism charms, town house peace charms, auspicious ruyi ornaments, all through the Wanshou Palace Master consecration and refining, Tong Su is not bullied, fake one times ten ......"
