Chapter 28: Wen Bao Zhai's apprentice

"This is when I planted a date tree in my backyard, I dug it out of the soil.

Two years ago, an ancient tomb was unearthed in the village, and many experts from the city came, and those experts told the people in the village that they would hand over something that they had to dig out from their homes in the future, and if they dared to buy and sell, they would go to jail.

I heard from the people in the village that it was worth a lot of money, and I couldn't see it for sure, and the people in the village also secretly dug out jars from the yard and sold them for money.

The experts said that it was not allowed to be bought and sold, it was a state thing, and I didn't understand why I couldn't sell this thing that was dug out of our own yard."

Su Yun looked at the voice that spoke, it was a middle-aged man dressed as an ordinary villager, and the man looked very simple.

At this time, there was still an indignant look and puzzlement on his face, obviously dissatisfied with the words of the experts in his mouth.

However, seeing that the people in the village were digging and selling for money, although he felt that it was wrong, he felt that everyone else did it, and of course he could do it himself.

He opened a piece of blue cotton cloth and saw what was exposed inside, and the two guys who were supposed to listen to the story immediately changed their expressions.

One of the guys with round-rimmed glasses gave the other a look that looked as white as a college student, and the shy guy who looked like a college student immediately closed the door halfway through.

Their antique world is sometimes like a collection of stories, all kinds of bizarre and sad stories can be heard from the hands of those who claim to be treasure bearers.

Because of their reputation in the town, they hadn't heard this kind of story for a long time, and these two guys had originally passed the time and listened to the country man's expression.

But when he saw what he took out, the reason why his face immediately changed was because the man took out a bronze object.

The number of bronzes handed down from the Shang and Zhou dynasties has been very small, and one has been unearthed, which are all national-level cultural relics, and there is an unwritten tacit understanding in the high imitation world, that is, there are almost no old and high imitation bronzes.

Not only because of the private trade in bronze, after being targeted by the strip, it will face the danger of public prosecution for more than ten years, but also because the bronze is difficult to age.

Therefore, the high imitation of bronze is almost like smashing the signboard, and being pulled out by sharp-eyed connoisseurs will not be easy to mix in this circle.

It was these two men who saw that it was bronze that made them so cautious.

"Brother Gou, who is this?

Do you want her to go back first, and then catch up when you get off work? ”

If it weren't for Gou Dake's last cousin, who saved millions of losses for their shopkeeper, this guy with glasses would not have spoken to him so politely at this time.

The glasses guy looked at Su Yun's dress, and then at Gou Dake, and couldn't see what the relationship between the two was.

"This is my niece, who studied archaeology in college, and it's rare to have such a close opportunity to study, let her have a look here."

Gou Dakexin said, leave this ancestor here to give you the palm of your eyes, your shop has been repaired, and you dare to pick people up.

The glasses guy nodded unhappily: "Then you let her be careful, you know the things in this store, ordinary people can't afford to pay it back in a few lifetimes."

After speaking, he ignored Su Yun and pulled Gou Dake to see the bronze.

This is a bronze horn, a drinking vessel, which was very popular in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and was used by lower-level officials and commoners, and the number of unearthed is very small.

The two guys' eyes lit up when they looked at it for the first time.

The shape of the bronze horn is similar to that of Jue, the difference is that there is no column along the edge of the mouth, and there is a tubular flow in the cup body of the horn, which is similar to the pottery horn of the Erlitou culture period.

Both men saw shock in each other's eyes.

If it is similar to the pottery horn of the Erlitou culture, then this bronze horn may be the earliest known horn.

"Brother Zou, I think it's important to call the shopkeeper to come over, such a valuable object, if we look at it, it's not trivial."

Ma Yuchao, who looked shy and fair, pulled the man with round-framed glasses, Zou Shuangjun, and whispered.

Don't look at these two people as just Wen Baozhai's buddies, but they are both people with little backgrounds.

Zou Shuangjun was originally an appraiser at the Art Appraisal Center of the Suzhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and was employed by the Xiwen Auction House, but later disliked that the auction house gave him too low a salary, so he jumped to Wenbaozhai.

Ma Yuchao is a graduate of archaeology at Su University, and his father is the director of the calligraphy and painting department of the Su Wen Museum.

There are too many students majoring in archaeological research who are just "book experts", and their papers are written in sets.

Not to mention digging ancient tombs and doing literary research.

Ma Yuchao is lucky, in the era of fighting his father, his father is powerful enough to give him a chance to accumulate experience as a graduate of archaeology.

Too many archaeology students are really unemployed after graduation, so many good jobs for you to intern, and most of the students who are not very top-notch in professional courses are destined to waste such a major.

Doing irrelevant work.

"Brother Gou, what do you think?"

Last time, Gou Dake's expression made Ma Yuchao admire him very much, and even Brother Zou concluded that it was a fake, Gou Dake was originally being ridiculed by them, but he fought for it.

Later, the shopkeeper happened to come and made an exception to promote the apprentices in the store.

Gou Dake looked in the direction of Su Yun and saw that she was looking at a flower on the cabinet shelf, and she had no intention of meddling in her affairs.

"21.4 cm high, mouth with two wings, concave and arc-shaped, two wings tail at an acute angle, deep waist, stalk on one side, ovate bottom, triangular pointed cone solid foot below, toe outward".

"Judging from the color of the soil, it was unearthed in less than three hours."

Gou Dake is a tomb robber, and he has handled countless national treasures, so at a glance, the description of the number given is even more accurate than that of a doctor of archaeology.

Ma Yuchao looked at him with admiration.

Zou Shuangjun's eyes behind the lenses didn't know what he was thinking, and he suddenly asked: "So Brother Gou also thinks it's very similar to Erlitou Cultural Taojiao?" ”

Gou Dake immediately changed from the elite style just now, and asked puzzledly: "What Erlitou culture?" ”

Zou Shuangjun is eyes flashed Sure enough, he had long suspected the origin of this Gou Dake, and even he was surprised by the real chapter kung fu in his hand, not to mention Ma Yuchao, a little newcomer.

But when it comes to the origin of cultural relics, he doesn't understand even the simplest questions, which anyone with some archaeological expertise knows.

Zou Shuangjun raised the glasses on his nose with his hand, so it is impossible not to guess the origin of Gou Dake with the shrewd eyes of the shopkeeper.

He had long heard of Wen Bao Zhai's reputation for many treasures in the industry, and he also suspected that there was an unclean interest shady.

He came to apply for the job, and after two years of contact, he still couldn't see the depth of the shopkeeper.

Finally, this Gou Dake confirmed his suspicions all along.

Zou Shuangjun was very excited, whether it was in contact with these tomb robbers who had been seen in the news and novels in person, or discovering the big secret of Wen Bao Zhai.

It's all very exciting.

Zou Shuangjun was so happy, he felt that this was a secret worthy of his careful consideration.

Looking at the girl looking intently under the rosewood cabinet in the distance, Gou Dake said that it was her niece, and Zou Shuangjun heard that this craft is generally inherited by the family.

It's not something outsiders can look at.

looked at Su Yun thoughtfully.
