Hearing Li Yi ask the price, Xiao Si's face showed a flattering smile, pondered for a moment, and said:

"300,000, this one is only 300,000!"

"300,000?"

In Li Yi's eyes, a hint of surprise flashed, and a stone in his heart also landed, and the price was only 300,000, so it should be fine.

In fact, when he first saw this bronze, he had a feeling that this was just a real ancient bronze.

And the subsequent identification of the spirit identification plate also verified his guess, this is really an ancient bronze from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is also a bronze that is so precious that it cannot be described. Because the name of this bronze is called Chu Wang Yu, and from the age point of view, it is still one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, the rice bowl of King Chu Zhuang!

Li Yi remembers very clearly that among the Chinese bronzes unearthed so far, there is also a rice bowl, which is the rice bowl of the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Yan Marquis, named Kuanghou Yu.

That rice bowl, in the ranking of the top ten precious bronzes in China, is second only to the Shang Dynasty's Owl Zun and Sifang Sheep Zun, ranking third!

And this one, not only is the quality not worse than that one, but the age is not far apart, and what is even more precious is that this is one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, the rice bowl of King Chuzhuang!

Therefore, this is definitely an out-and-out treasure, and even the value of the city cannot be described!

However, the more precious the thing, the more worried Li Yi became, because if such a heavy treasure was stolen from an ancient tomb, then, whether he bought it in advance or not, once the matter was revealed, there would be a lot of trouble!

Therefore, when he heard that Xiaosi's offer was only 300,000, Li Yi was surprised and greatly relieved.

This price should be able to prove that this Chu Wang Yu was not stolen from the ancient tomb, or rather, it was not stolen from the ancient tomb by Xiao Si, then, basically, there is no big problem.

As for where Xiao Si got it from, or what is the true origin of this bronze, what does this have to do with him?

Because, now the buyer and seller don't know its origin, but trade it as an imitation handicraft, then, even if someone finds out about him in the future, he can't bear too much responsibility, at most, that is, he can't keep this Chu Wang Yu!

It is impossible for Xiao Si to know Li Yi's thoughts, so as soon as he saw Li Yi repeating his offer, he was still in that questioning tone, he was a little anxious,

"Boss, I really didn't talk nonsense about this price, and the most important thing is that I really need the 300,000 yuan to save my life......"

Li Yi waved his hand, pretended to think for a moment, and said:

"160,000, 160,000 I'll ask for it."

A faint hint of joy flashed in Xiao Si's eyes, but there was still a bitter look on his face.

"Boss, this money is nothing to you......"

"Okay, 160,000 yuan is already for the sake of you really needing money urgently, otherwise, although this bronze is very real, it is worth a hundred thousand at most, you really don't know the goods?"

"That'...... In this way, 180,000, 180,000 I won't say anything......"

Soon, the two men closed the deal. After walking out of the store, Li Yi glanced at Zhong Haoqing, and then at the backpack on Gu Feng's body, and stopped talking.

"Let's go back, today's harvest is good, enough for tomorrow's party, and I'm a little tired."

Zhong Haoqing glanced at Li Yi deeply, those two people didn't know what was going on, she knew very well in her heart, if she was just suspicious at first, then Li Yi's shot gave her an obvious signal, this is a real thing!

She didn't have much research on bronzes, but like Li Yi, she remembered the styles and names of some precious bronzes very clearly.

Not only did she know the third-ranked Yanhou Yu, but she also remembered the general ornamentation and inscription on the bronze. In her opinion, the Kui Feng pattern on the outside of this bronze is similar to that one, or even more delicate, and, most importantly, the inscription engraved on the mouth of this rice bowl and the inscription on the Yanhou bowl are a font, both of which are golden!

Jin Wen is a popular text in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, because it is mostly seen on Zhong Ding bronzes, so it is also called Zhong Ding Wen.

Being able to engrave this kind of text, and allowing Li Yi to identify it as genuine, then the preciousness of this bronze is self-evident.

She knew better than Li Yi about the trading policy about bronzes, if this was really as she guessed, Li Yi's transaction was likely, it was the purchase of a large . Troublesome.

Although she was a little worried, this was a shopping mall after all, and even few people couldn't talk about it here. And Li Yi's expression told her that he should also be aware of this, so Zhong Haoqing immediately decided, stopped shopping, and went back!

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Zhong Haoqing called Li Yi to his room.

"What dynasty is that bronze?"

"Spring and Autumn, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Chuzhuang."

"Chu Wangyu?"

Zhong Haoqing's brows furrowed, she guessed that this thing might be precious, but she didn't expect it to be so precious!

"Master, I think so, if Xiao Si knew that this thing was made from the ancient tomb, he would never be able to quote this price......

After listening to Li Yi's analysis, Zhong Haoqing nodded, don't say it's Li Yi, if she encounters this situation, she will not hesitate to take action, as for possible troubles in the future, heh, the system is dead, people are alive, besides, isn't it just possible?

After briefly explaining a few words to Li Yi and telling him that he must not let others see this Chu Wang Yu again, Zhong Haoqing turned the topic to this young painter competition.

"Although the results haven't come out yet, you should have seen other people's works, how are they, how do you feel?"

Hearing Master ask about this, Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head,

"It's far from it, I estimate that if you want to win the first prize, you will have to practice for at least another 10 years!"

Zhong Haoqing nodded, in the first stage of painting, if the talent is not too bad, it can be practiced by practice. And after crossing the first threshold, if you want to go further, it is not a simple practice of words can be achieved, that requires understanding, but also needs the accumulation of other aspects, and these are not things that can be achieved overnight.

"The reason why you are allowed to participate in this competition, and why you have set such high goals, is not for anything else, but to let you see the gap between yourself and others. If you can realize this now, our goal will be achieved, so I am not going to do any more training in the next calligraphy competition, you look at the arrangement yourself, I believe that you should not deal with things like some time ago. ”

Li Yi's old face turned red rarely, and in the previous paragraph, he was indeed a little slack.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, let me ask you, did you have been visiting the antique market before I came?"

"Well, we went to the Little East Gate and the Eight Immortals Palace."

"Oh? How's the catch? ”

Zhong Haoqing's eyes lit up, revealing an interested look.

"Hey, hey, small gains, small gains."

"A small catch? If you also call it a small gain, what should you call those leaks that other people pick up? ”

Ten minutes later, in Li Yi's room, Zhong Haoqing looked at the few things he bought, and shook his head helplessly. No, such a shocking thing must not be let alone for her!

"In this way, there is no need to bring other things, tomorrow we will bring this piano and these six piano scores, so that those old guys can see what kind of character my Zhong Haoqing's apprentice is!"

Nodding, Li Yi suddenly remembered that if he took this Jiuxiao Huan Peiqin to the party, Qin Chuan would not be able to go there, and Qin Lao said that he would play a song specifically for him, if the party here started too early, he would not be able to rush there, and he would have to call him first to talk to him about this matter.

"Master, when does tomorrow's meeting start?"

"Ten o'clock, the morning is mainly for us a group of old guys to catch up, you juniors just take the opportunity to get to know each other, contact feelings, these are all connections, maybe you will be able to use it in the future......"

"Ten o'clock? That should be too late. ”

Li Yi shook his head and told him about Qin Chuan helping him make an appointment with the violinist, Zhong Haoqing was stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"Old luthier? What is your name? ”

"Qin Chuan, I have checked the information on the Internet, and a very powerful performer......"

Hearing what Li Yi said was actually Qin Chuan, Zhong Haoqing smiled, silly boy, tomorrow's party is organized by Qin Chuan!

Hearing this, Li Yi was also stunned, and then shook his head with a wry smile,

"Master, since it's Qin Lao, I still have one more thing to report to you, that is, before buying this Jiuxiao Ring Pei, I also bought a guqin ......."

"What? You kid actually bought a Great Sage Relic, and it's actually the Holy Qin of the Guangling Sect of Lao Qin? Hey, I'm leaving, if you don't leave, I'm afraid I'll be overpowered......"

Not long after sending Zhong Haoqing back to the room, the fat elephant slipped into Li Yi's room with his eyebrows and mouse eyes.

"Brother Yi, guess what I found?"

Li Yi was a little confused, what did he find? What can you find?

The fat elephant smiled mysteriously, and handed over an old parchment scroll,

"Brother Yi, where do you guess you got this thing from?"

Li Yi took the thing and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows,

"You opened the lock? How did it open? ”

The previous lock had always been in Lu Ningshuang's hands, and later when she returned to France, she brought it to Yanjing, but she didn't expect that the two of them tossed things that hadn't been opened for more than a month, and let the fat elephant kid open them!

"I'm rubbing, Brother Yi, you're amazing, you can guess this?! It's boring, it's boring! ”

As soon as Li Yi spoke, he knew that he had accidentally exposed the secret of perspective, but fortunately, the fat elephant didn't think about it, so he hurriedly said:

"Where's the trap box? How did you open it? ”

The fat elephant stretched out his left hand, which had been behind his back, and handed the trap box to Li Yi.

"I don't know, anyway, I'm bored, so I just press it randomly, but I didn't expect it to be pressed, Brother Yi, take a look, I think, what is written on this parchment seems to be very amazing."

"Oh? What is written? ”

Li Yi asked, while looking down and began to check, within a minute, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, what was recorded on this piece of parchment was actually the recipe and firing method of the long-lost firewood kiln porcelain!

"Brother Yi, I checked on the Internet, if we can use this method to burn a firewood kiln, we will be developed!"

For antiques, Fat Elephant, Gu Feng and the others didn't understand anything before, but since they followed Li Yi, they had also learned a little, so he knew very well what the firewood kiln represented and what the information on this brown paper represented.

"Well, of course, it is best to be able to burn it, but the formula is only one aspect, the reason why many ancient porcelains are lost is because of the porcelain clay, when a specific porcelain clay is dug up, even if the formula and process are mastered, the original effect cannot be fired......"

Li Yi was also a little excited, but then he thought of this key problem, and now that the ruins of the firewood kiln have not been found, it is even more unclear what kind of porcelain clay it used back then, and it is difficult to fire it!

The fat elephant didn't expect to have this problem, and he frowned when he heard this, but then he thought of a possibility,

"Brother Yi, I don't think it is necessary to use other porcelain clay to burn the firewood kiln, but we don't understand these things, if we have the opportunity, we will consult a professional, maybe we can really try it."

Li Yi nodded, since he had obtained such a precious formula, of course he would not let it lie in the room and sleep, but he should not have had time before the calligraphy competition, so he had to push it back first.

"By the way, Brother Yi, the upstairs house has moved away, and the formalities have been completed, Linghu asked me to ask you, do you need to redecorate, if you need to, he has comrades in arms who do this."

Hearing the fat elephant mention the decoration, Li Yi's mind suddenly had an idea, he could move upstairs to live first, and then he could ask Bai Qianye's friend Liu Yong to come over and transform the basement downstairs into a treasure room, so that the porcelain he brought back from France would not have to be stored in Tongrui Bao, and if the basement area was not enough, he could also choose a room and make it into a treasure room!

"Of course, you have to reinstall it, you can call Linghu when you go back, and ask his comrades to come up with a few design plans for me to see."

Li Yi decided to implement this matter first when he went back, otherwise as his treasures became more and more valuable, even if there was Hongchen watching them, he was a little uneasy.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Li Yi rushed to Qinchuan's villa with Zhong Haoqing with Jiuxiao Huanpei and the six piano scores, and the meeting place was here.

"Huh? Why did you two get here together? ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Zhong Haoqing actually came over with Li Yi, and the two of them obviously knew each other.

"Haha, Lao Qin, you have to give me an explanation this time, taking advantage of my apprentice's head! Want to play a song and get by? Hmph, I'm not that good at talking! ”

Zhong Haoqing stared at Qin Chuan and stretched out his right hand,

"I'm telling you, I'll have to play at least five pieces before I let you go!"

"Huh? Li Yi is actually your apprentice? Right? With your level of identification, can you identify the guqin? ”

"Humph! What, not convinced? I'm telling you, my apprentice is a genius! Don't interrupt, say it quickly, do you want to do the five songs? ”

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes, although he took advantage of it when he changed the piano, but I also prepared another good thing for the little guy, if you say so, I will save it!

Zhong Haoqing was originally joking, because many things like antiques can't be accurately defined in value, as long as both parties to the transaction feel suitable. didn't expect her to shout this way, and she really cheated out of something, and she couldn't help but be a little curious.

"What good baby?"

"There are no good treasures left, and now they have been replaced by playing five ancient songs! Li Yi, come with me quickly, I heard that you have Zhang Jiuxiao Huanpei in your hand, Lao Huang, this guy, as soon as the plane landed in the middle of the night last night, he came directly to me, if you don't come again, he should urge me to call! ”

It can be seen that the relationship between Qin Chuan and Zhong Haoqing is very unusual, so the two just quarreled a few words, and then led Li Yi and went straight to the living room.

Lao Huang's name is Huang Ting, he is a thin man, with black beard and black hair, and he and Zhong Haoqing are also old friends, but it is obvious that his mind at this time is not on these things at all.

"Is this the piano?"

Qin Chuan's strings yesterday were still on the piano, Huang Ting tried to play it a few times, turned the piano over, and after carefully checking it, he frowned,

"This qin, I suspect that there is a crack in the dragon pool, and in addition, there seems to be a bit of a problem with the tongue acupoint......"

The dragon pool, that is, the sound groove of the guqin, is the key part that affects the pronunciation of the guqin, and is generally located in the middle of the bottom of the qin. In addition, there is a smaller sound groove at the tail, called "Fengnuma", these nouns are very particular, called up the mountain and down the river, and there are dragons and phoenixes, symbolizing the world and everything.

The tongue point is a dark groove at the head position in the abdomen of the qin, which is the pronunciation part of the guqin.

"Is the crack serious?"

Hearing that it was actually the dragon pool that was cracked, Qin Chuan was a little anxious.

"It shouldn't be very serious, but the specific situation needs to be opened to know."

Huang Ting continued to look at the piano without raising his head, and after a while, he clapped his hands and stood up.

"Old Zhong, take this piano to me for repair, you won't be worried, right?"

"How can I be, I wish I could."

"Okay, Lao Qin, I won't attend your party, those old guys will come later, you can help me say something, I'll fix the piano!"

Anyway, regardless of Qin Chuan and the others, put the guqin in the piano box, pick it up and leave!

"Regardless of him, this guy, this is this virtue!"

Qin Chuan smiled bitterly, beckoned Zhong Haoqing and Li Yi to sit down, and after chatting a few words, asked:

"Haoqing, what treasures did you bring this time?"

Zhong Haoqing smiled slightly, do I need to bring another? In the future, whenever I go to this kind of party, I don't bring anything, just take this guy with me!

"Oh? Xiao Li still has a baby? Then don't hide it, take it out and take a look! ”

Li Yi put the six guqin scores on the coffee table, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it, this is actually the Song version of the piano score?!

Immediately, he frowned tightly and began to look through them one by one, and when he saw the fourth book, suddenly, his hands couldn't help but tremble, this, how is this possible? (To be continued.) )
