Chapter 49: The Dragon's Lantern

Seeing Yang Deng walking out of the bedroom with a copper lamp in his hand, several people in the living room breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, if this kid really fucked Yang Deng in the bedroom, they old guys wouldn't be anything.

"Dad, look at this bronze lamp, I look like an object from the pre-Qin Dynasty."

Zhou Lao raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand at Yang Deng: "Girl, show it to me." ”

The definition of pre-Qin is too broad, and now historians give the definition of pre-Qin refers to the 1800 years between 2100 BC and the establishment of the Qin Dynasty in 221 AD, in this period of history, China has experienced the historical stages of Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States and other historical stages, in this period of history, China's ancestors created a glorious historical civilization, among which the oracle bone inscription of the **** period and the bronze ware of the Yin Shang period, these are the historical signs of human civilization and progress, It is also a period when Confucianism, Taoism, Law and Mo schools of thought contended, and the inheritance of poetry, books, rituals and music also began to be finalized from this period.

"Pre-Qin objects?" Yang Deng's words made Yang Yiyan also take his attention away from the Xuande furnace in his hand, but this time Yang Yiyan did not fight with Zhou Lao, the object was dead, and he couldn't run.

Yang Deng handed the copper lamp in his hand to Zhou Lao, but in exchange for Zhou Lao's reprimand: "Girl, the treasure can't be in your hands, hasn't the old thing taught you this truth?" ”

Yang Deng stuck out his little tongue and quickly put the copper lamp on the coffee table in front of Zhou Lao, but observed that Zhou Lao's gloved hands trembled slightly.

Zhou Lao put on gloves with both hands and tried to stabilize it, then he stretched out his hand and carefully held the copper lamp in his hand, and raised a high-powered magnifying glass with his other hand to observe it carefully.

"Girl, what style of copper lamp is it, it makes this old guy so out of shape." Yang on the side asked with a little unpleasant eyes.

The tone in which Zhou Lao scolded Yang Deng just now was by no means a joke, which made Yang Yiyan feel a little embarrassed.

Yang Deng stuck out his little tongue and whispered: "It is a copper lamp in the shape of a snake's head, with the snake's mouth as the core, the snake body as the rainbow pipe, the snake body stores oil, and the tail is upturned in the shape of a fish's tail. ”

Old man Zhou smiled without raising his head: "Girl, you are right, this copper lamp is the shape of the dragon, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the second is the dragon, if the dragon is yellow, there are no horns." ”

"Dragon's lantern?" Yang's hands trembled, and he hurriedly put the Xuande stove in his hand on the coffee table and leaned over to Zhou Lao.

"Old thing, you have to pay attention to everything first-come-first-served." Old Zhou turned around like a child and gave Yang a back.

Yang touched his nose and laughed twice, then suddenly turned his head and scolded in the direction of Tang Dou: "Stinky boy, there are still some good things that haven't been taken out, a bunch of (Beijing dialect, read zui) for Lao Tzu to take out." ”

Tang Dou coughed lightly, and he had already figured out in his mind that there should be no dark antiques in the bedroom, anyway, these objects had been broken by Yang Deng, and they couldn't hide it, so they had to be taken out sooner or later.

Tang Dou smiled and glanced at Yang and said, "Old man, there is still a little bit of the object, why don't you let the lamp take you to the bedroom to take a look?" ”

Yang raised his eyebrows, it turned out that this kid really had inventory, it seems that there are still a lot of things, otherwise how could he let the lamp take him to the bedroom to see, naturally because of the inconvenience of moving around.

Yang got up suddenly and walked towards the bedroom with Yang Deng's support.

Zhou Lao had the heart to go with him, but he was reluctant to use the dragon lantern in his hand, so he snorted stupidly.

Zha Yongsheng and Gao Mingde both stood up, Gao Mingde was familiar with Tang Dou, and asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Tang, can we also go over and open our eyes together?" ”

Tang Dou smiled and made a gesture of please: "Brother De, don't you say that I will also invite the two of you, please." ”

Zha Yongsheng nodded at Tang Dou, and hurriedly followed Yang into the bedroom.

Zha Yongsheng and Gao Mingde were dumbfounded when they walked into the bedroom, Mom, is this room all antiques? Just stacked casually? There's not even a place to put your feet on.

Yang Deng helped Yang Yan to carefully walk around the antiques on the floor to the writing desk, helped him sit down on the chair, and said in a low voice: "Dad, Jelly Beans are full of old objects in this room, and I will show you one by one." ”

Yang smiled at a glance: "It's all old objects, how many are there?" ”

Yang Deng hesitated and said, "There should be a thousand eight hundred." ”

"Uh......" Yang looked like he was choked by something, and half of his laughter was choked in his throat.

Tang Dou turned around at the door, grinned back and sat back on the sofa, the bedroom was too full, there was no place for him to stay, so he had to sit here to accompany Zhou Lao.

Old Zhou was finally reluctant to take his eyes off the dragon lantern, looked at Tang Dou and asked, "Boy, this dragon lantern is also an object left by your father?" ”

Tang Dou grinned and nodded, anyway, it will be the last time to borrow his father's name in the future, and all the things that have no proof will be pushed on his father.

Zhou Lao shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that I didn't know your father before, otherwise we would definitely become good friends, your father is a real collector." ”

Tang Dou grinned, if you knew my father before, I'm afraid it would be a good thing if you didn't turn your nose up at him.

Tang Dou approached Zhou Lao and asked with a smile, "Master, what does this dragon lantern say?" ”

Zhou Lao pondered for a moment and said: "According to the shape of this dragon lantern, this object should be used in the palace of Wang Sun Guizhou, and according to the style, it should be an object before the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

Tang Dou snorted, hesitating and not knowing how to speak.

Zhou Lao smiled and asked, "Do you want me to give this object an estimate?" ”

Tang Dou nodded vigorously.

Zhou Lao said with a smile: "Although this dragon lantern is precious, it is not an object to enjoy, and it is indeed not easy to preserve it to this day." If I were to estimate this item, I don't think the reserve price would be less than $4 million, and if I meet a collector I like at auction, I am afraid it will fetch tens of millions of dollars. ”

"What good object can be auctioned for tens of millions?" Jiang Yuanzheng came back from the call, and his eyes lit up again when he heard the words.

Zhou Lao smiled and put the dragon lantern next to the Xuande furnace, looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "The dragon lantern before the Spring and Autumn Period, Xiao Jiang, you can come and take a look." ”

Jiang Yuan's expression changed and he walked over quickly, and he had already put his gloves on his hands as he walked.

After another good test, Jiang Yuan looked at Tang Dou with a blank eye and asked, "Mr. Tang, I wonder if your dragon lantern can also be entrusted to our auction house to auction together?" ”

Tang Dou smiled: "Yes, but I still have that condition, and this thing of mine must not be lost overseas." ”

"No problem, no problem." Jiang Yuan responded continuously, and hurriedly went out to make a phone call.

As soon as Jiang Yuan reported the situation to Mr. He, he was immediately scolded by Mr. He: "Xiao Jiang, you have always been very steady in doing things, can you explain everything at once?" One piece pops out in a while, one pops up in another, how did you do it. ”

Jiang Yuan was red-faced by He, and his heart was full of guilt, people didn't take it out just now, can I be blamed for this?

Jiang Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. He, I assure you, this should be the last one......

At this time, Zhou Lao's exclamation came from behind Jiang Yuan: "Stinky boy, it turns out that you still have a room full of good things, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Jiang Yuan was startled, hurriedly pressed the microphone and quickly turned around and walked behind Zhou Lao, and looked at Tang Dou's bedroom, dumbfounded.

The voice of Mr. He feeding came from the earpiece.

Jiang Yuan was stunned, and hurriedly whispered into the phone: "Mr. He, I suggest that you come to Jinling by yourself, Mr. Tang's collection here is too rich, I can't describe it to you, anyway, there are a lot, I just saw ......"

"Don't you know I'm in Buenos Aires right now?"

"Uh......"
