Chapter 1120: The Head of the Dove Staff
After listening to it, Wen Jia was a little stunned, "Love, alas! ”
However, after taking two steps, he suddenly said to Tang Yi again, "Hey? You don't seem to have much interest in this book! At least I don't like the story very much. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"It's not very interesting, don't look at the few generations, but it's just a novel engraved in the Qing Dynasty. I'm interested in this brocade book cover. Tang Yi smiled.
In ancient times, the general engraved books were paper book covers, and the ones that were particular about it would be cardboard shells, or with an envelope, and there were also brocade or silk bookboxes. This is directly attached to a thick brocade book cover, which is indeed not very common.
"There's not going to be anything in there, is it?" Wen Jia's eyes lit up.
"It's really worth studying, and I'll talk about it later." Tang Yi replied vaguely, since he was still in the market, Wen Jia didn't ask anymore.
Subsequently, in front of a stall, Wen Jia found a silver cross. Tang Yi looked at it and was sure that it was a few hundred years old. Wen Jia nodded, because although he couldn't break the generation, but from the perspective of breath, he found that it was also something with a year.
The reason why Wen Jia is already a top figure in the Xuanmen at a young age is inseparable from his studiousness, and Western religious artifacts can also be inspired by it. At this time, he began to study this thing, and the stall owner saw that he was interested, and also introduced a few words.
Tang Yi was not interested in this, next door was a stall selling jade products and beeswax amber, and the stall owner was a white-haired and thin old man. Tang Yi looked at it from the side.
Tang Yi suddenly found that in an inconspicuous place in the corner of the stall, there was actually a good thing.
This is a jade bird. The block is not small, slightly smaller than the pigeon, lying down, the shape is very beautiful, the lines are smooth, and the texture of green jade.
Tang Yi reached out and picked it up, "Old? ”
The thin old man of the stall owner was very interesting, and gestured with his hand, "This is a sacred bird from China, probably from the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the West, and relied on it to guide the direction and protect peace!" ”
Where is this?! Tang Yi smiled secretly, and then shook his head again and again, "This bird's 'age' is not that old. ”
As a result, the stall owner didn't insist on his opinion, and used his hand to draw the image of a big braid, "Qing Dynasty? Kangxi the Great? ”
Tang Yi looked at it and knew that the stall owner didn't understand what it was, but it was quite interesting, so he stopped being verbose, "How much?" ”
"It's so big, this is Hetian jade, it's not okay to be less than three thousand pounds." The stall owner responded. This is indeed Hetian Qingyu's thing, and the size is not small, but if you just buy raw materials, you can't use so much.
Wen Jia had already paid for it here, Tang Yi was no longer verbose, and stretched out two fingers, "Two thousand pounds, the highest!" ”
The stall owner asked tentatively, "Add more?" ”
Tang Yi shook his head.
"Okay, I've sold it to you!" The stall owner nodded, took the jade bird, and reflexively began to look for the bag. Tang Yi thought to himself, the stall owners here are really different from the Chinese antique stalls, there are not many fighting eyes, and they are not a professional antique market, so the possibility of picking up good things is really not small.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a voice came to my ear, very fluent in English, "Three thousand pounds, I want it!" ”
Tang Yi turned his head to look. , it's actually the young man in fresh clothes and pink face on the plane!
Wen Jia also heard it, glanced at the young man, of course he recognized it, and spoke directly in Mandarin, "Do you understand the rules?" It's already closed! ”
Only then did the young man notice that the two were "neighbors" on the plane, smiled, and changed their Mandarin, "You haven't paid yet!" It's still in the stall owner's hands! The highest price wins, this is the rule! ”
Tang Yi also smiled, "My friend seems to be also a person in the antique circle, and the price has already fallen, where is the one with the highest price to say this?" ”
"The price is the price, but you haven't paid yet, and the things are still in the hands of the stall owner, that is, there is no real deal! This is Britain, not China! Put away your old set of rules for Chinese antiques! The young man's face changed and he said coldly.
Wen Jia narrowed her eyes and gently put one hand on her waist.
Tang Yi stretched out his hand and gestured to Wen Jia, and then said to the young man, "So, are you going to buy it forcibly?" ”
Just as the young man was about to speak, the thin old man of the stall owner said to the young man, "It would be nice for you to come early." I said two thousand, I have already promised, I have to keep my promise! After speaking, he handed the bag containing the jade bird to Tang Yi. Tang Yi saw it and immediately began to pay for it.
The young man's face changed, but at this point there was no longer a fight. The owner of the goods has made a statement, then there is nothing to do with him.
After the payment was cleared, Tang Yi checked the bag, smiled at the young man, and turned around to leave. Wen Jia said to the young man, "If you don't have this luck, don't force it!" ”
Tang Yi and Wen Jia took two steps, but the young man followed, "This friend, can you take a step to speak?" ”
"There's not much to say." Tang Yi didn't want to entangle with him too much.
Wen Jia rolled her eyes, "Okay, what's the matter with you, find a place with few people to talk to?" With that, he began to look around.
The young man pointed to an alley diagonally across the side street, where there were no stalls, and it was a dead end that was not deep. Wen Jia nodded, and walked directly towards the dead end, Tang Yi wanted to hold him, Wen Jia's steps changed slightly, and Tang Yi didn't stop at once. The young man looked at Tang Yi, "Let's go?" With that, he followed Wen Jia.
Tang Yi had no choice but to follow.
The three of them stood still, Wen Jia looked at the young man with a smile, "You're very interesting!" Looking for trouble, huh? ”
Tang Yi was afraid that Wen Jia's move would be unfavorable to the young man, so he gestured to Wen Jia again and again. Wen Jia also gave a look back, meaning to see what this young man wanted to do first.
The young man's expression was normal, and he waved his hand at Wenjia, "Friend, don't complicate it, to put it bluntly, it's just a transaction, since the stall owner insists on selling it to you, I can't help it." I can add money, though. I like this jade bird, resell it to me! ”
Tang Yi knew that this young man was an expert, otherwise he would not have accepted the taper of Liangzhu culture. However, he still asked tentatively, "This jade bird of green jade has no characteristics except for its size, what do you want this for?" ”
The young man stared at Tang Yi's eyes for a while, and then laughed again, "Pretending to be confused? Test me? If you don't know what this is, the first thing to ask is how much money I can pay! ”
When Tang Yi heard this, he was sure that he understood it, so he said directly, "This thing is from the Han Dynasty, it is so big and so well preserved, I don't want to make a move." ”
The young man actually nodded, "I'm not mistaken, you have eyesight." This dove cane head of the Han Dynasty is indeed not easy to touch. You've just arrived in London and you've picked up a slack, and you're lucky. However, no matter how difficult it is, it has a price, doesn't it? Since you want to make more money, make a price and discuss it. ”
