Chapter 0709 - A Master in the Antique Shop
Although Liu Yuhao knew that his image was not good now, he still moved forward, because the voice was too familiar, and he and Wu Guinan were in the same dormitory for several years when they were in college.
The scene of everyone lying on the high and low beds eating the baked naan brought by Wu Guinan's buddy from home to have a talk on the night of school came to Liu Yuhao's mind at this moment.
"Boss, is this object yours?"
Suddenly, a thief-eyed man came out from the side, staring at the golden step, shaking his eyes and letting out a sigh of admiration.
Step shake, as the name suggests, "step is shake", although the name is vivid and vivid, but the specific form is rarely clarified. As an important headdress for women in ancient times, it was developed on the basis of hairpins.
When the bun is high, sometimes a prosthetic bun is used, and the advantages of the hairpin compared to the hairpin are reflected. The hairpin head is exposed to the outside, rich in decorative effect, and is the essence of the hairpin.
The man holding the golden step shook his hand again and again, pointing at Wu Guinan and said: "It's true that the object is mine, but this gentleman is looking at it, you have to abide by the rules and wait for this gentleman to read it before you can see it, right?" ”
The man with thief eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes glanced at Wu Guinan with disdain, pouted and said: "Boss, how much is this golden step, you can quote a price, an old object in the Tang Dynasty, I bought it and put it up for auction, but it is worth the old nose money." ”
Below the Song and Yuan dynasties, the shape of the step shake still followed the above two forms. Or in the hairpin head with gold and silver chain hanging down a variety of pendants, walking pendant shaking amplitude is larger, this is the basic shape of the step shake, that is, Tang style step shake. Or connect various ornaments with filaments or springs at the head of the hairpin, and the ornaments will tremble slightly when walking, that is, Han-style step shaking.
After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the name of the step shake in the jewelry has been rare in the world, but this does not mean that the step shake has been eliminated, in fact it is still one of the most common hair accessories for women, but with other names.
For example, in "Dream of Red Mansions", Wang Xifeng's "Five Phoenix Hanging Bead Hairpin" is actually a phoenix-shaped step shake hairpin, that is, Tang-style step shake. In addition, the Qing Dynasty called the flower-shaped step shake "jasmine trembling", that is, it is mainly a Han-style characteristic.
The boss hesitated to glance at Wu Guinan, stretched out four fingers, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Forty thousand, if you give forty thousand, you will take it." ”
"40,000 is 40,000, there are not many old objects that can be handed down from the Tang Dynasty in such a complete way, it's really a good thing."
The thief-eyed man nodded without hesitation, turned his head and went to the bag he was carrying.
Wu Guinan frowned, he was a little hesitant just now, but now he didn't say anything, and hurriedly hid the Jin Buyan in his hand behind him, and said: "Boss, it's a bad rule for you to do this, Jin Buyan is the first thing I fancied, how can you talk to him about the price again." ”
The boss looked at Yan Wu Guinan mockingly, put the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, and said: "I'm not a practice stall to ship, if I wasn't in a hurry to wait for the money to be used, I wouldn't be able to take out this ancestral object and sell it, right?" Sir, don't talk about those unreliable, I'll sell to whoever has more money today. ”
The thief-eyed man took out four wades of money in his bag, shook it triumphantly in front of Wu Guinan's eyes, and said, "Boss, don't talk nonsense with him, this is 40,000 yuan, you count, if the number is right, we will make a deal." ”
After speaking, the thief-eyed man stuffed all the money into the boss's hand, and turned around to reach out to take the Tang Dynasty Jin Bu Shao in Wu Guinan's hand.
At first, Bu Shao was the jewelry of the concubine, and then entered the noble lady class, and then became popular among the people. Palace makeup has been leading the fashion in ancient times, and the step shake as a hair accessory has the beauty of dynamic walking, and it also has the effect of fixing the hair bun, which soon became popular.
In the Tang Dynasty, the step shaking was particularly popular, and the shape became more and more exquisite, and the degree of magnificence increased greatly. Because of its fine production process and precious materials, it is mostly seen in the makeup of rich women.
If Liu Yuhao remembers correctly, in the first half of Sotheby's auction, there was a mid-Tang Dynasty Bu Shao auction that fetched a sky-high price of 300,000 yuan, and the original purchase price of the Bu Shao was only 6,000 yuan.
It can be seen that the classic beauty of this thousand-year-old fashion has not really faded out of people's sight due to the passage of time and space and the accelerated pace of life.
"Dude, I know you like this step, but people are still thinking about it, aren't they? You wait. ”
The boss deliberately looked embarrassed in front of Wu Guinan, but his hand didn't push the 40,000 yuan out, and his eyes flickered and kept looking at Wu Guinan's face.
Liu Yuhao also saw it at this time, the boss and the man with the thief's eyebrows and rat's eyes were actually a gang, the boss was funny, and the thief's man was funny, that is, the kind of person who often said in the antique circle to catch up with "leg work".
These two people deliberately sang and played a double reed to lure Wu Guinan into the game, and their ultimate goal was to sell the golden step to Wu Guinan, but what they wanted to make a deal was definitely not the price of 30,000 that they said at the beginning.
"Hey, I said do you buy it or not? Don't buy it, don't delay others here. ”
The man with the thief's eyebrows muttered loudly at the signal of the pretending boss's eyes, showing a very impatient appearance and waving his hand repeatedly.
Wu Guinan bit his cheek and hesitated for a long time, although it has been five or six years since he graduated from university, the archaeology major he studied is too cold, not to mention the low income, and he is still looked down upon everywhere when looking for a job.
In addition, in the past few years, my parents have been old, because they were educated youths who supported the construction of the frontier, so they wanted to move back to their hometown in Shanghai from Xinjiang to settle down.
Think about it, how many years does an ordinary white-collar worker have to work hard to save enough money to buy a house in Shanghai? So in the past few years, Wu Guinan's life has been even tighter, and 40,000 yuan is indeed a lot of money for him.
"I said, sir, if you don't buy it, I'll sell it to this buddy."
The boss was also impatient, he thought that he could put on a mallet today, but he didn't expect that he hesitated for a long time for 40,000 yuan, it seems that the business is hopeless, and the irritability in his heart at this time and his contempt made the boss's eyes slowly show a fierce light.
Wu Guinan struggled in his heart for a long time, he had already taken a fancy to this Jin Bu Shao, and he always thought that he could sell the Bu Shao when he went to the capital this time, if he could get a good price, then the down payment for helping his parents buy a house would be enough.
"Five" Wu Guinan finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and stretched out five fingers to shout 50,000.
But at this moment, a powerful big hand clasped his wrist down, "Five what?" We don't want it, boss, you can keep it for yourself. ”
The person who spoke was naturally observing Liu Yuhao for a long time, and he had detected it with his ability, which was just a high imitation of the Republic of China, not to mention 50,000, even if he bought Wu Guinan for 10,000 yuan, he would lose a few thousand yuan.
Liu Yuhao didn't see this matter, and when he saw it, of course, he couldn't wait for a buddy in a dormitory in his university to be fooled before he came forward to speak.
The thief-eyed guy saw that it was about to become a good thing, but he suddenly ran out to stir up the scene, and suddenly his eyes were full of fierceness, and he said viciously: "Stinky food, are you dead?" ”
The man pretending to be the boss also quietly wrapped up from behind, and if his companion gave him a look, he would pounce on him and beat the ragged thing.
Wu Guinan was even more surprised, looked at Liu Yuhao with wide eyes, and said sneeringly: "You are"
You must know that Wu Guinan is 1.9 meters tall, and he is at the age of being strong, he never thought that the ragged man next to him could pinch himself with three fingers and not even lift his arms.
Grass, how hard does it take to do this?
Although Wu Guinan's face was full of consternation, this man ran out to make trouble, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart, so he looked at Liu Yuhao with a cold face and did not say anything to stop the boss's behavior.
Liu Yuhao smiled and said, "Turtle man, don't you even recognize me?" ”
It's okay not to say this, after listening to Liu Yuhao's words, Wu Guinan's mouth opened slightly in shock, knowing that the person with his nickname was only his former classmates, but it seemed that he was already miserable, how could there be classmates who could mix to this point?
Our buddies were all the pride of the North Heaven back then!
Liu Yuhao's old face turned red, but now was not the time to explain, he turned his head to look at the man with thief eyebrows, and sneered: "Friends online, you don't need to show this kind of Republic of China eyes." ”
The boss was about to make a black move, but when he heard that Liu Yuhao actually said that it was an incision in the antique shop, he was dumbfounded.
The thief-eyed man pursed his lips, but he stopped for a while under his hand and said, "Friend, it's not that my brother wants to lack your ideas, let's hand over the threshold first, so as not to make it difficult for everyone to be a person." ”
That means let Liu Yuhao report his own home, since he is "his own person", he can't be hung up by someone for no reason, so if it is spread out in the future, don't be ashamed of it.
Liu Yuhao saw that these two people were older than him, so he smiled faintly, cleared his throat, and said: "Brother Haizi, brother Shun Shui Wan, wings on his head, this bud and brother are the same, don't let the zygote throw the empty pestle today, thank you two!" ”
After speaking, Liu Yuhao adhered to the rules of the rivers and lakes, stroked his right elbow three times with his left hand, but made an extremely strange posture with his right hand, and then stood there indifferently and looked at the two antique shops with a smile.
When the two saw that Liu Yuhao not only answered each other fluently, but also established rules that were a generation higher than their own two generations, their faces suddenly turned a little pale.
After the person pretending to be the boss and the man with the thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes glanced at each other, he made a salute that only Liu Yuhao could understand, and said: "The two of us are new springboards and don't know you, so let the bud lantern be raised a little higher in the future." ”
After speaking, the thief-eyed man nodded at the person pretending to be the boss, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that they had met a master today, so they didn't look back, turned around and left.
