Chapter 47: Panjiayuan Treasure Hunt (1)
It's almost eleven o'clock in the evening when I was late for a meal, I don't know how Wang Gang and Zhang Kai ate? Founder Wang Yong was very satisfied with the food, wondering if he would poach the managers and chefs here, and open his own ecological restaurant in the future.
"Hey! Is there any schedule for tomorrow? If not, come with me to Panjiayuan? Maybe you're lucky enough to pick up a big one? Zhang Kai sent an invitation to Wang Yong.
Hearing this, Wang Gang breathed a sigh of relief. I brought Wang Yong over today just to introduce them to each other. It can be regarded as helping Wang Yong expand some relationship background, I have been worried about whether Zhang Kai will accept Wang Yong, but when I heard Zhang Kai's words, I was relieved. The purpose of today's trip was overfulfilled, and I just planned to let the two of them get to know each other first, but I didn't expect Zhang Kai to have such a good impression of Wang Yong? In my impression, it seems that he has never invited anyone other than himself.
"Pan Jiayuan? Oh! A few days ago, I sold a gold brick from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom there. That was my first time in Panjiayuan. Wang Yong remembered how he felt when he got that huge amount of money, if it weren't for Xiao Shijie and Xiao Guang. That amount of money is enough to get it yourself.
"What? You sold the gold bricks of the Heavenly Kingdom in the Xiangutang? Zhang Kai asked in surprise.
"It's done, I'm sleepy, let's go back to our respective homes, and gather at Panjiayuan at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Wang Yong ignored the question of opening the door, and walked out the door after speaking. Zhang Kai was so anxious that he scratched his head after him, he really wanted to study the gold brick, and maybe he could write a good paper. But when I learned the news, the gold brick had already been taken away.
In the end, Wang Yong still told Zhang Kai the origin and appearance of the gold bricks he made up, and promised to help him ask him if the remaining two gold bricks were still in his hands at the same time. and promised that if he was there, he would borrow it for him and let Zhang Kai study it. In this way, Zhang Kai can be regarded as letting Wang Yong go.
It was already twelve o'clock in the night when I returned to my uncle's house, Yuanyuan and Wang Qian had already fallen asleep, and my uncle and aunt had to work overtime, so they called and said that they would not come back to live. When the official reaches the level of uncle, the studio is always busy, especially when I go back to my hometown in the past few days, there is a backlog of a large number of documents to be processed in a hurry. It's not easy to have to work overtime as soon as you come back! Wang Gang was accustomed to this situation and did not react in the slightest. arranged housing for Wang Yong and ran back to his house to sleep.
When I got up the next day, I heard Wang Yong say that he was going to Panjiayuan to pick up the leak. Wang Qian was very sneering, and Zuihou said that she was not interested, so she took Yuanyuan to go shopping. When Yuanyuan was leaving, there was still a trace of excitement in her sorry and helpless eyes, it seems that shopping is indeed a woman's nature! Even such a quiet person as Yuanyuan is not immune.
By the time the two of them arrived at Panjiayuan, it was already past ten o'clock, and there was no way, the roads in Beijing were too congested. Zhang Kai, who was impatient for a long time, inquired about the BRICS as soon as they met. After getting the gold bricks still in the hands of Wang Yong's colleague and promising to lend them to Zhang Kai for research, Zhang Kai put down his mind and took his brothers to visit Pan's homeland.
Today is just in time for the weekend, and Panjiayuan is crowded, and there are dense crowds everywhere. It seems that now is really the era of national collection. Just look at this flow of people, you can know. And there were not only Chinese in the crowd, but also foreigners of other colors. Wang Yong met a white-skinned, yellow-haired foreign guy who was fluent in Chinese and bargained with a stall owner.
There are not only shops in Panjiayuan, but also a large number of stalls lined up on the streets. Many people who fantasize about making a fortune by picking up leaks generally do not patronize the store, because in their opinion, the probability of picking up a leak in the store is almost non-existent, or the probability of a stall is much greater. Of course, there is a greater chance of counterfeiting.
Zhang Kai seems to have some ability, and he keeps instilling all kinds of antique knowledge in Wang Yong. Regardless of whether Wang Yong wants to listen or not, his mouth has not been idle along the way. But Wang Yong's mind and Ben didn't pay attention to what he said? Just now, he asked Xiaoguang to start the scanning mode, and swept all the way, but he didn't find anything worth starting. Just when Wang Yong was bored and wanted to go home, Xiaoguang finally found a good object.
"Master, a tiger talisman was found, which was determined to be a cultural relic of the Warring States period. It is extremely valuable, and it is recommended to buy it. ”
After Xiaoguang's guidance, Wang Yong found the big jar containing the tiger talisman. It was a small stall not far from the front that mainly sold copper coins, and the jar also contained a lot of copper coins, all of which were rusty, and from the point of view, the first feeling was that it was an antiquity.
Wang Yong walked to the stall, and after saying hello to Zhang Kai, he squatted down and looked at all kinds of copper coins here. The boss saw that three young people came to the door, this is a fat sheep! Immediately greeted him:
"Three little brothers, look at the complete variety of copper coins I have here, all dynasties and generations, as long as you can name them, I have them all. What do I like, how about I give you a 20% discount for your bosses? ”
"Let's take a look!" After the experienced Zhang Kai finished speaking, Lala Wang Yong's arm signaled him to hurry up, there is nothing good here. In fact, as long as you have a little antique coin foundation, you can see that the copper coins on this stall are not precious. And some of the fakes that you can know at a glance are too obvious for their defects.
With the guidance of a super light brain and a small light, of course Wang Yong will not leave with Zhang Kai. He was thinking about how to buy the jar and its contents without attracting attention.
The owner of the stall also found out that Zhang Kai may be from the industry, and this time the business is estimated to be in vain. simply ignored the three of them, sat with squinting eyes, and didn't speak.
"Boss, how do you sell this jar?"
Just when the boss didn't have any expectations, Wang Yong spoke.
"Oops! This boss is such a good eye! This is an authentic Warring States period ancient pottery, which was dug up from the ground by an elder brother in my hometown in toddler city a few days ago and put it on consignment with me. If you think about it, it is not easy to preserve such good pottery for thousands of years! In addition, you see that there are a lot of Warring States ancient coins in it, if you really want me to give you a real price, how about this number? The boss held out three fingers.
"Three thousand? I want it! After saying that, Wang Yong reached out to take the jar.
The vendor owner hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a wry smile: "Don't tease me, three thousand?" What do you think this is? Is it 300,000? ”
"Flutter-" Zhang Kai couldn't help it. "I said buddy, just you are still the Warring States Ancient Pottery? Besides, this so-called Warring States ancient coin. ”
Zhang Kai directly picked up a knife-shaped coin and said, "Iron, right?" During the Warring States period, our ancestors were able to use iron to mint coins? You've made a scientific discovery! ”
The owner of the vendor was stunned for a moment.
"Alright! Three thousand, this is the first time I've come to pick up something that I missed, so I have to collect it anyway. Maybe buddy will become famous in the future, and this thing is more expensive than the real thing? After speaking, Wang Yong took out his wallet, counted out three thousand yuan and handed it to the boss.
The boss took the money with a sad face, and said with a wry smile: "I'm unlucky today, I met someone in the industry." What do you do, boss? Yours let me die, huh? ”
"He! It's a doctor from Kyoto University who deals with dead people and drills ravines all day long. Wang Yong happily hugged the jar and sold Zhang Kai directly.
Ignoring Zhang Kai, who rolled his eyes, Wang Yong's pulpit was packed in a cloth bag given by the boss, picked it up and left. When he couldn't see the stall, Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hurry up and find a place, there are good things for you to see?" ”
"Ahh Both of them were shocked when they heard Wang Yong's words. In fact, Zhang Kai, just after a glance, he knew that this stall and those so-called ancient coins were all modern imitations. Is there anything wrong with this? Could it be that this kid really picked up the leak?
"What's the good stuff? Didn't Kaizi just say that this is a fake? Why are there any surprises? "Wang Gang has no interest in antiques at all, he only knows that the things at home are definitely not really good. There are a few pieces of broken iron in that broken jar, what surprises can there be?
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not safe on the streets, hurry up and find a place."
"Alright then, let's go to the Treasure Hall in front! One of my senior brothers worked as a treasurer there. Seeing that Wang Yong didn't look like he was lying, Zhang Kai immediately suggested. Although deep down, he still didn't believe in any surprises.
The three of them walked a few steps forward, and then walked into an antique shop on the street under the leadership of Zhang Kai. When I entered the store, a guy came over to greet Zhang Kai:
"Teacher Zhang, why do you have time to visit Panjiayuan today?"
"It's been nothing for the past two days, so I'm going to have a look with two friends. Is my brother here? ”
"Here, you go directly to the reception room, Elder Li is also there."
"Okay, then you can get busy, I'll go straight over." After speaking, he took Wang Gang and Wang Yong up the stairs to the second floor.
The second floor is an open structure, and there are no partitions in sight on the entire second floor except for a few antique pillars that are decorated. There is a wooden screen at the top of the staircase, and through the gap, you can see that two middle-aged people in their forties are looking carefully at something with a magnifying glass on a wooden table.
The footsteps of the three of them woke up at once, and they raised their heads one after another.
"Zhang Kai? How come you have time to come to Panjiayuan in a few days? Didn't the master let you do some papers? One of them, a middle-aged man dressed in a Chinese-style Tang suit, spoke.
"Okay, why do you and Xiao Cheng ask that? I can't take two days off? Okay, let me introduce you to you, this is Wang Gang's cousin Wang Yong. Wang Yong: This is my senior brother Cheng Hui, and this is Li Lao, a miscellaneous master of the Palace Museum. Don't look at Li Lao, he looks young, he is sixty-five this year. ”
"What is this little brother mentioning? Did you pick up a leak on the street today? Speaking of this, Li Lao said excitedly: "Come and show me?" ”
Zhang Kai glanced at Wang Yong, which means you can do it! He always thought that such a thing that was obviously fake, how could there be a surprise?
Wang Yong calmly took out the pottery jar and put it on the square table. Cheng Hui quickly put away an ancient book that the two of them had just read, and when he looked back, he was dumbfounded.
is the same as Zhang Kai's release, just such a thing, you can see it at a glance, and the fake can't be faked anymore. Looking at Zhang Kai, Zhang Kai smiled helplessly, waved his hand, and pointed to Wang Yong It means that it is none of my business, Wang Yong bought it.
At this time, after thinking for a while with frowning eyebrows, Li Lao took out a pair of white gloves and put them on, and began to carefully clean up the coins in the jar. But at this moment, Li Lao suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the jar. Just when everyone was wondering, Li Lao carefully took out an object from it.
"Tiger Talisman!" Cheng Hui exclaimed after seeing the object in Li Lao's hand.
Tiger talisman is an ancient Chinese metal tiger-shaped troop transfer certificate, legend is invented by Jiang Ziya of the Western Zhou Dynasty, issued by the central government to the general in charge, its back is engraved with an inscription, divided into two halves, the right half is stored in the imperial court, the left half is issued to the commander of the army or the local governor, the two halves need to be combined with the inscription to take effect. The Tiger Talisman is dedicated to each army, and each army has a corresponding Tiger Talisman.
"There are words! Over here! Cheng Hui excitedly pointed to the other side of the tiger talisman and said.
"It's Oracle! Oracle! Li Lao immediately became excited. Zhang Kai, who didn't care about it, also hurriedly stepped forward and took a closer look. But Wang Yong, who didn't know anything, was chatting with tea as if nothing was happening.
"That's right, it's the oracle bone inscription, it's the four words 'Armor Soldier'." Zhang Kai quickly translated the text.
"The oracle bone tiger talisman, is the legend true?" Cheng Hui said excitedly.
"In all respects, it should be correct that this is a tiger talisman from the late Shang Dynasty or the early Western Zhou Dynasty. What a discovery! Li Lao was also very excited, the tiger talisman was very common in ancient China. There is a legend that the tiger talisman was created by Jiang Shang of the Western Zhou Dynasty, that is, Jiang Ziya, but so far there has been no tiger talisman of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the earliest is also the Warring States period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. And today's discovery of this no tiger talisman proves that the tiger talisman is definitely in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it appeared and was used early in the morning.
The computer monitor doesn't know what's going on and the screen is black. I haven't done it well, so I guess I'm going to send it for repair! Fortunately, there is still a manuscript of the machine chapter, otherwise it would be miserable!
