Chapter 115 Wu Zetian summoned a hundred flowers to bloom
Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Qiu have been paying attention to Su Ren's expression, and seeing that his face has not changed, he immediately gave a thumbs up in his heart and praised his good attitude. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Touching the big iron, Shopkeeper Li suppressed his anger a little and asked, "Su boy, how much are you going to sell this iron?" ”
Before Su Ren could speak, the shopkeeper Qiu was not happy at first, and he blew his beard and glared: "Old guy, are there any rules, this is mine, it is mine, do you understand, you also have a palm eye identification in the name, want to buy, hey, tell you, there is no door." ”
"Do you want to fight?"
Not to be outdone, shopkeeper Li said: "You are a person who plays calligraphy and calligraphy, what bronze objects do you have on your waist, do you still know how many catties and taels you have?" ”
The shopkeeper of Qiu said: "Ha, if I want bronze, I can't do it, you can get the book, which rule is this." ”
"I really don't believe in this evil, you have the ability to buy the iron and try it."
"Try it, try it, who's afraid of whom, I'll really buy it today."
"What are you looking at!"
"Look at you!"
"You're looking at one!"
"Look, I'll take a look twice, and say, what can you do to me."
The two old men talked back like children, making Su Ren on the side cry and laugh, old children, old children, nothing more than that.
"Su boy, come on, who are you going to sell the irons to!"
"Yes, you said, if you sell him the iron today, hehe, you Su boy will suffer later."
"Why can't you sell it to me!"
"I just can't sell it to you, love what!"
"Sincerely looking for trouble, don't you want to go out and practice!"
"Hey, the old guy is bold, you are sixty-eight years old, I am two years younger than you, I am afraid of being less strong, have you ever heard of this?"
Su Ren saw the posture of the two old guys blowing their beards and glaring at them, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, noisy and noisy is emotional, but once they start to scold their mother, they must hurt their face.
"I said the two shopkeepers, don't worry about buying things, we haven't identified the age of the iron yet, shopkeeper Li, whether the thing is good or bad, you can tell me in detail first."
Shopkeeper Li smiled when he heard this, picked his old eyes, and said proudly to Shopkeeper Qiu: "How about it, look at me, you can't!" ”
The shopkeeper Qiu's nose was almost crooked, and he almost crushed an old tooth, and he was indeed inferior to Lao Li Tou, there is no way to refute this, and the entire Pan family knows it.
The palm-eye master of the antique business is similar to the doctors in the hospital.
Everyone has their own specialty, and each person has their own strengths.
For example, if you have a problem with your skin, so you have to go to the dermatology department, if you have bad digestion, if you want to go to the endocrinology department, if you have a bad heart, you have to go to the cardiology department.
It is also very important to identify antiques and find the right person, and a big player like He Shen who is proficient in every door may not be able to produce one for decades.
"I have seen this iron, and it has been preliminarily identified as an instrument made by Emperor Wu Zhou and Wu Zetian period."
Shopkeeper Li pointed to the iron on the table with one hand, stroked his beard with the other and said, "Su boy, come and see, the lid of the iron, remove the hollow pattern, what pattern does the base under its hat look like." ”
The hat mentioned here is like a pot lid used at home, on each pot lid, there must be a small cap to isolate the heat, and there is a slightly raised base under the cap, which plays a role in making it easy to take and prevent hot hands.
As long as the ancient bronze utensils are related to fire, with a lid, there is generally a base and a small hat like this, but at that time there was no hard plastic material, wood, and afraid of smoke and fire, so the hat in ancient times will be replaced by a copper ring of appropriate size, with a copper ring, if you want to open the lid, as long as you find a wooden stick strung through the copper ring, you can lift the lid to the side.
What kind of pattern does the base look like, Su Ren rubbed his chin and frowned in thought, there are many patterns in ancient times that are relatively abstract, and the base under the hat in front of him is in the style of petals, but if you want to say what kind of flower it is, Su Ren really can't recognize it.
He Shen looked at it and arched his hand: "Master, this pattern is a peony style." ”
Su Ren raised his head and said to Shopkeeper Li, "Is it a peony flower?" ”
"Yes, it's a peony flower!"
Shopkeeper Li clapped his hands and said with a smile: "There is a story here, called "Wu Zetian summoned a hundred flowers to bloom". ”
Su Ren nodded, he had not only heard this story, but also taken the exam in college.
It is said that one day, the Empress Wu was enjoying the snow while gambling with Shangguan Wan'er and chanting poetry.
Shangguan Wan'er made a poem of "snow", and Wu Zetian drank a glass of wine. Drinking and drinking, suddenly there is a fragrance to the nose, it turned out to be the plum blossomed, the Empress Wu did not feel that the dragon face was happy and whimsically thought that the flowers in the garden should also be open for her like the plum, so she ordered to prepare the chariot and prepare to go with the princess to enjoy the flowers.
Then the princess said, "Flowers bloom at their own time, and now is not spring, how can there be flowers?" Lamei was originally a winter flower, and it is normal to bloom at this time. ”
The princess is a princess who understands and knows that nature is sometimes orderly. But Empress Wu didn't listen to this, and felt that she was "the Holy Son of Heaven with the help of a hundred spirits", and it was not a problem to take away the artificiality.
Of course, the cruel reality gave this comrade who believes that man will win the day a resounding slap in the face. Fortunately, there is a eunuch who will come to the scene, so he gave the Empress Wu a round field: "According to the slave maid, about all the flower fairies don't know that Banzai is going to come to enjoy the flowers, so they will serve in the future." Just now, the slave and maid have already announced the holy will to the flowers, and if Banzai personally makes another imperial decree, they will naturally bloom tomorrow. ”
So Empress Wu wrote four sentences with a stroke of her pen: "The Ming Dynasty traveled to the garden, and quickly reported the spring: the flowers were sent overnight, don't wait for the wind to urge." ”
Everyone knows the rest of the things, come together the next day, and the flowers bloom everywhere, which is really splendid, and the world of flowers and flowers. If you look closely, only the peony has not budded. So the Empress Wu, who was in menopause, was furious, thinking that she was usually the thickest to the peony, but the peony was so unkind, and after burning it with charcoal artillery, she even ordered the peony to be degraded to Luoyang.
Unexpectedly, the peony was burned by the fire, but it was even more red like smoke and clouds, slim and elegant, very spectacular.
That's why there is an allusion to "the peony in the world, so far only Luoyang is the most prosperous".
"Wu Zetian hates the peony and thinks that it ignores current affairs, just like those courtiers in the court who hide in the shadows and have Li Tang in their hearts, which is the biggest obstacle to her stability in the country."
Shopkeeper Li said softly: "The so-called good at the top, effective at the bottom, after Wu Zetian ordered the charcoal to burn peonies, it didn't take long for the Imperial Cabinet to make an iron engraved with peony patterns, which means that all life and life are charcoal-roasted. ”
Su Ren asked, "Didn't other dynasties draw peony patterns on irons?" ”
