"Peace?"
At this time, Bao Longtu took the wooden Ruyi handed by Fang Yuan, and after looking at it for a while, a strange expression appeared on his face: "Maruko, I know that magic weapons are not easy to find, but you can't be too perfunctory." ”
"Who's perfunctory." Fang Yuan said with a smile: "This is a good thing...... Forget it, you may not understand it, anyway, let Boss Xiong see it later, do you believe that he must rush to ask for it? ”
"Uh......" Bao Longtuhu wondered: "Really? I don't read much, don't lie to me. ”
", you're a master's degree, and you're embarrassed to say that you don't read much, and you're disgusting." Fang Yuan rolled his eyes.
"I'm talking about Feng Shui books, not modern textbooks."
"You won......" Fang Yuan felt that he had underestimated Bao Longtu's brazenness, and he didn't plan to argue with him, so he simply changed the topic directly: "What about you, what antiques did you buy?" ”
"Hey, baby." Bao Longtu was immediately happy, and said with a happy face: "An ancient mirror, I think it may be from the Han Dynasty, the stall owner offered 30,000 yuan, I cut it to 10,000, and Zuihou made a deal." ”
"Ancient mirror?" Fang Yuan hesitated a little: "Can you be sure?" ”
"Nonsense, don't underestimate me." Bao Longtu glared and said: "Even if I am inexperienced and can't determine the specific age of the ancient mirror, I can still judge whether the thing is an antiquity or a fake." ”
"Really?" Fang Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't be something from the Republic of China period, then you will lose a lot." ”
"It's not that bad." Bao Longtu shook his head and said: "I have studied it carefully, the rust spots on the ancient mirror are very serious, definitely not only a few decades of history, but at least hundreds of years......"
"If only you had a good idea."
Fang Yuan didn't say anything more, after all, this was Bao Longtu's hobby, and he was willing to spend money on this, which was also his freedom. Besides, if you say another unkind word, with Fang Yuan's current family background, he really didn't take 10,000 yuan to heart.
Of course, being wealthy does not mean that Fang Yuan likes to spend money indiscriminately. Besides, he now has a little bit of the fun of picking up leaks that Bao Longtu said. Buying something that is worth the money at the lowest price, and it may be difficult for inexperienced people to understand the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment in it.
"Boss Xiong."
While talking, the two also came to Baihuiju in Feng Shui Street, and when they arrived at the door, Bao Longtu greeted him loudly: "Are you there?" We've come to see you. ”
"Yo, here's your guest." Xiong Mao looked up and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Master Fang, why are you so interested in coming to visit me today?" ”
"It's not a visit, it's a leak." Bao Longtu said unashamedly: "I just bought a treasure, do you want Boss Xiong to take a look and open your eyes?" ”
Xiong Mao was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyebrows and smiled: "This dare is good, I can't ask for it." ”
"Boss Xiong, don't listen to his nonsense, he buys antiques." Fang Yuan smiled and reminded him, so as not to disappoint Xiong Mao.
"Who says antiques can't be treasures?" Bao Longtu rolled his eyes and said: "Besides, I bought an ancient mirror, although I read less, but I also know that the ancient mirror may also be a magic weapon." ”
"That's right." Xiong Mao smiled and said: "There are also a lot of mirror magic weapons in my store, especially the Bagua Mirror, which has the wonderful use of warding off evil spirits, calming the house, and dispelling evil. ”
"Look, I'm not wrong." Bao Longtu smiled proudly: "It's just that I calculated this point, so I bought antiques like mirrors, maybe it's also magic weapons." ”
"I know you're very shrewd." Fang Yuan chuckled and said, "I hope you get your wish and don't go adrift." ”
"Absolutely impossible." Bao Longtu was full of confidence, and then carefully peeled off the newspaper that wrapped the ancient mirror.
A moment later, the true appearance of the ancient mirror was revealed in front of everyone's eyes. Fang Yuan took advantage of the situation and saw that the thing was indeed a bronze mirror, the surface was mottled with green rust, full of historical vicissitudes.
"Well, not bad."
At this time, Bao Longtu commented: "You see, the ancient mirror is round, with a diameter of about fifteen or sixteen centimeters. Chrysanthemum pattern button seat, there is a string pattern to divide the pattern into two circles, the inner circle is wavy pattern filled into the flowers and leaves to form a big treasure flower, the outer circle is twelve entwined grapes. Bronze texture, full of green rust, the pulp is very clumsy, there is no trace of aging, it is definitely the real thing. ”
"I'll see." Xiong Mao was also a little interested, and after taking the ancient mirror in Bao Longtu's hand, he looked at it seriously for a moment, and then nodded lightly: "Well, it looks pretty good." ”
"Is it a magic weapon?" Bao Longtu's eyes lit up.
"Hehe, I didn't say that." Xiong Mao smiled: "I just think that these patinas look a little charming." ”
"Boss Xiong, you really have a vision." I heard that things are not magic weapons, Bao Longtu was not very disappointed, but praised: "Bronze utensils, what I appreciate is the vicissitudes of this patina, not only green rust, yellow rust, but also black rust and red rust, which can be described as strange and wonderful......"
"Haha, that's wonderful." After Xiong Mao agreed, he returned the ancient mirror to Bao Longtu by the way. He deals in magic weapons, not antiques, and even if the ancient mirror is valuable, he will not be very interested.
"I'm going to find a master to help me identify it." Bao Longtu took the ancient mirror back, and then pondered: "Judging from the mirror pattern, this may not be the Han mirror, maybe it is the Tang Realm." If it's Tang Jing, I'm going to send ......"
"Tang Jing is very valuable?" Fang Yuan asked curiously, "It seems that the Han Dynasty is even older." ”
"Cut, as soon as you hear it, you know that you are a collector." Bao Longtu said disdainfully: "The value of antiques is always the first quality, and in the case of equal quality, it depends on the age and rarity." ”
"Among the previous dynasties, the casting process of Tang mirrors is undoubtedly the highest, so when the collection was the hottest a few years ago, only a piece of Tang mirrors was sold for tens of millions." Bao Longtu looked forward to it, but also sighed a little: "However, in the past two years, the collection investment has returned to rationality, and the price of Tang Mirror has slowly fallen." ”
"Of course, there is a limit to the price drop, the general Tang mirror can be sold for at least tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and this ancient mirror like the one in my hand is relatively well preserved, the mirror pattern is very clear, and there is even a mirror inscription. As long as it can be determined that it is Tang Jing, the valuation of two or three hundred thousand is not a problem. ”
Speaking of this, Bao Longtu's saliva flowed, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
"Jing Ming?"
For a moment, Fang Yuan looked over: "What mirror inscription?" ”
"That's ......it," Bao Longtu stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's obscured by patina, but when you touch it, you know that this is a mirror inscription, like a seal book." ”
"What seal?" Fang Yuan stretched out his hand and touched it, and then he was stunned: "It's strange! ”
"What's weird?" Bao Longtu was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
"There is ......an aura," Fang Yuan muttered, "It's a very weak aura, if it wasn't for the contact, I'm afraid I would have ignored the past." ”
"What?" When Bao Longtu heard this, his eyes suddenly widened a little, and then he stuffed the ancient mirror into Fang Yuan's hand in surprise: "Look, you hurry up and see if this is a magic weapon." ”
"Really have an aura?" At the same time, Xiong Mao was not calm, and hurriedly squeezed over to take a look. You must know that the thing has only turned around in his hand, and he has seen it and judged that this is not a magic weapon, but now Fang Yuan said that the ancient mirror has an aura, and it is clearly a slap in the face.
“…… The patina is too thick. Fang Yuan didn't pay attention to Xiong Mao's thoughts, picked up the ancient mirror and looked at it for a while, and immediately said, "Boss Xiong, you have a towel here, borrow it from me." ”
"Give it to ......" Bao Longtu was quick to see and took a rag directly next to the coffee table.
"Baozi, you don't mind if I wipe off a layer of patina, right?" Fang Yuan gestured: "After rubbing it vigorously, it may destroy the patina beauty you said." ”
"It doesn't matter." Bao Longtu waved his hand and said: "Anyway, what can be wiped off is rust." The real patina, which is integrated with the ancient mirror, grows inside, not to mention rubbing, even if it is frustrated, it may not be able to frustrate. ”
"In that case, then I'll wipe it."
Between speaking, Fang Yuan wiped it in the ancient mirror with a rag, his movements were relatively gentle, and his strength was not light or heavy, first starting from the edge of the ancient mirror, and then going deeper from the outside to the inside, little by little.
After two or three minutes, Fang Yuan could be regarded as completely wiping the ancient mirror, and the ancient mirror immediately became much cleaner, and the price he paid was that the rag was covered with rust.
At the same time, Fang Yuan changed another towel, and then the force changed from light to heavy, rubbing it on the mirror inscription more vigorously. After a while, the patina that blocked the mirror inscription faded, and the seal inscription gradually became visible.
"Treasure it, Yizi Yiding!" I have to say that Bao Longtu's ancient writing skills are good, and after Fang Yuan stopped, he recognized the seal script after studying it.
"Ahh At the same time, Xiong Mao was shocked: "The thing is really a magic weapon." ”
"Really?" Bao Longtu was overjoyed: "That's right." ”
"You can't be wrong this time." Xiong Mao smiled bitterly: "Master Fang is out of the horse, how can there be a reason to look away." ”
"Boss Xiong was negligent for a while, and he didn't notice Jing Ming." Fang Yuan smiled and explained: "Who would have expected that the aura was not condensed in the grape pattern, but instead knotted in the seal script. ”
"Master Fang doesn't need to comfort me, if you look away, you will look away." Xiong Mao said calmly: "Besides, it's not a shame to lose to Master Fang." ”
"Don't play dumb riddles." At this moment, Bao Longtu had an excited expression on his face, and kept urging: "Let's talk about it, why is the ancient mirror a magic weapon again?" ”
"It depends on the mirror pattern and the mirror inscription." Fang Yuan smiled and explained: "The mirror pattern is a bunch of grapes, in the traditional Chinese customs, grapes imply many children and grandchildren, people are prosperous, and the mirror inscription undoubtedly points out this, and the treasure is a treasure, Yizi Yiding, which fully shows that this ancient mirror is full of auspicious wishes when it is cast." ”
"In other words, at the beginning of the ancient mirror, it had the function of praying for blessings." Xiong Mao added: "However, an ancient mirror like this has an aura that is generally condensed in the grape pattern, but I didn't expect this ancient mirror to do the opposite......
