Chapter 9: The Copper Coin Missing a Dime

Qian Zhengtai told the story of what happened in the Sifang Pavilion that day, and sighed: "Which eldest sister Liu even took out the heirloom to sell, it must have reached the point of exhaustion. ”

"Why don't you end up ...... mountains and rivers"

Qin Xuebing told what he saw and heard when he went to Grandma Liu's house yesterday: "It is said that raising children prevents old age, but Grandma Liu has three sons and one daughter, and the youngest daughter knows how to be filial, but the three sons are not as good as animals." ”

"I've never seen anyone like that." Ye Zijing didn't know what to say, she had lived a rich life since she was a child, and she couldn't imagine this situation at all, let alone that there would be such a ruthless person as Liu Yuanguang, who had tens of thousands of family fortunes, but didn't care whether her parents lived or died.

"I can't kill that bastard." Ouyang Zhanjun burst into foul language, infinitely despised Liu Yuanguang's character, and also had the heart to teach this kind of guy with a human face and a beast's heart.

"Ouyang Sanshao, don't rob me of my business." Qin Xuebing hurriedly said, Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup is a national treasure, extremely rare and precious, you must get it.

"Don't call me Sanshao, if you don't mind, call me Third Brother Ouyang like Zijing, anyway, I'm older than you, and you can't suffer."

Ouyang Zhanjun smiled and asked again: "Looking at your posture, you seem to be very confident, could it be that Liu Yuanguang has really had a disaster recently?" ”

"Don't fool us with fortune telling." Ye Zijing added that she didn't believe in the magic stick.

"Ye Da Beauty, the Book of Changes is the head of the group of scriptures, the source of ten thousand laws, how can it get into your mouth and become a fool?"

Qin Xuebing said angrily: "If you don't believe it, just wait and see, it won't take a few days, and the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup will definitely come to me." ”

"Believe you, I'm a fool." Ye Zijing snorted, making it clear that she didn't believe it.

"If you don't believe it, forget it." Qin Xuebing pursed his lips, but he was extremely confident in his heart, unless Liu Yuanguang ran into a person from Qimen, he would not be able to resolve it at all.

In the secret art of Qimen, there is a secret art called a charm, which uses a charm to achieve the desired purpose. And in the charms, there is another type of "villain charm", which can punish the villain through the charm.

For example, Qin Xuebing's nightmare talisman to punish Wang Datong is one of the "villain charms", but as long as it is changed slightly, different "villain charms" can be derived.

Now Qin Xuebing has placed a "villain charm" on Liu Yuanguang's body, but it is not a nightmare charm, but a weakness charm. In this spell, the body and spirit will slowly weaken, and the effect of the spell will not disappear until the seventy-seven and forty-nine days, but if the body is not strong enough, it may not take forty-nine days to lose breath.

However, compared to the huge category of talismans, the "Villain Talisman" is just a very rudimentary talisman, and it is also one of the few that Qin Xuebing can play with at present.

Ye Zijing snorted again, but didn't ask anymore, after all, everyone has their own secrets: "Okay, take out your copper coins and see if there are any treasures." ”

"There must be treasures, but I don't know about them." Although Qin Xuebing has only seen a few, which Hongwu Tongbao with the Beijing character engraved on the back can be called a treasure.

Qin Xuebing poured out all the copper coins, Qian Zhengtai grabbed a few, and his eyes couldn't help but light up: "There are really good things, Xiao Qin, where did you get it?" How much did it cost? ”

"It was picked up from Grandma Liu, two million."

"What? You kid ......" Qian Zhengtai exclaimed, although these coins have treasures, there are many worthless ones, and they are not worth two million at all. But then he smiled bitterly again, he knew Qin Xuebing's motives, he must have picked up the guilt of the leak, and rushed to the door to deliver the money.

"Two million, it's definitely going to be a loss, but it's not much."

Ye Zijing shook a copper coin in her hand: "Shunzhi Tongbao Kaishu folds two carved mothers, the original characters are engraved on the back, and it is worth tens of thousands, if you can find a few, it will be a lot of wealth." ”

In ancient times, the casting of copper coins needed to go through three steps, carving the mother, the mother coin, and the finished product.

The carved mother, that is, the hand-carved mother money, also known as the ancestral money, is generally carved directly into a money mold with copper or tin or lead. When casting money, use the ancestral money as a mold and turn the mother money. The mother money is then issued to various places, and the mother money is used to make fan coinage in various places.

The production of the carving mother is very fine, the money is exquisite, carved by hand, the text is thin and tall, the word mouth is deep and steep, the strokes are strong and powerful, the ground chapter is smooth and clean, there are no casting traces in the whole body, and the money in circulation is slightly larger and heavier than the same version of the circulation.

The carving mother is already scarce, and the one that has been handed down is even rarer, no matter which version of the carving mother is very precious and expensive.

"I have almost collected all the treasures of Shunzhi, but there is only one missing carving mother, Xiao Qin, you must transfer it to me." Qian Zhengtai is addicted to money, and when he sees the treasures he doesn't have, he is thrilled, and he forgets to commit the taboo of antiques, or in other words, he doesn't care if he will be slaughtered by Qin Xuebing.

"Boss Qian, I found this carving mother, you don't follow the rules by doing this." Ye Zijing hurriedly held the carving mother in her hand, although this carving mother is only worth tens of thousands of yuan, and it cannot be compared with porcelain calligraphy and painting, but the key is that it is too rare and cannot be bought with money.

"Zijing, you see that the third brother Ouyang has not made any achievements in collecting ancient coins, can you let the third brother decorate the façade?" Ouyang Zhanjun can't take care of too much, there is no doubt that the eagle mother is scarce, every time he encounters one is luck, and if he misses it, it will be gone.

"Well, the Eagle Mother is mine, right?" Qin Xuebing was a little speechless, these guys really 'saw the money', and they forgot about the owner of the 'money'.

"Xiao Qin, you don't want to sell, do you?" Qian Zhengtai was anxious, he was almost crazy about ancient coins, if he missed such a treasure, then he would not be able to sleep for the next month.

"Xiao Qin, to be honest, the third brother has a lot of collections, but there are very few ancient coins, and there is no fine product, you will fulfill the third brother, and the third brother owes you a favor." Ouyang Zhanjun has made a bloody investment, and he doesn't care how much money he has, but his favor should not be underestimated, with his connections, the favor is not comparable to money at all, and sometimes it can even be worth a life.

Of course, the bigger reason for making this promise is to appreciate Qin Xuebing, a young man who is not wealthy can take out 100,000 yuan to help an old man, and then take out 2 million to help the old man. Although Qin Xuebing still took advantage of this matter, he was completely able to take advantage of it in vain, after all, it was a matter of course to pick up leaks in the antique market.

"Qin Xuebing, you promised me before that you would consider me first when you receive good things." Ye Zijing moved out of the killer feature, and almost didn't say anything, Qin Xuebing, you are a man, you have to be trustworthy.

"Grandma Liu said that her father-in-law is also an ancient coin player, this pack of ancient coins was left by her father-in-law, there must be fine products, should we divide it out first, and then discuss it last?"

Qin Xuebing coughed, and then said solemnly: "But there is one thing I must affirm, if there are fifty treasures in it, you are not allowed to bid, and I will not sell the bid." ”

Fifty Treasures is a collective term for fifty ancient coins, but it does not mean that every one of them is the most precious, in fact, some ancient coins will not cost less than fifty treasures.

But Qin Xuebing had an idea, collecting fifty treasures, this is something that the Palace Museum can't do, if he completes it, it will be considered a great achievement, right?

Of course, Qin Xuebing knew that this was very difficult, fifty treasures were extremely rare, some varieties were almost unique, and some varieties were only stored in museums and could not be collected at all. Qian Zhengtai is the best proof, crazy for "money", crazy for "money", and only collected 31 kinds for decades.

Moreover, Qin Xuebing has a congenital disadvantage in collecting ancient coins, and the Yuan Qi induction is not useful. It's no wonder that just take a lot of copper coins out, each one is full of vintage, and each one can make the vitality induce, and it is impossible to judge which one is a treasure, unless it is identified with a jade pen.

But the identification of jade pens needs the support of vitality, and there are dozens or hundreds of ancient coins, and Qin Xuebing's current cultivation can only use jade pens three times, and they are not used at all.

"Okay, that's it." Ouyang Zhanjun didn't have much opinion, anyway, this carving mother was not among the fifty treasures, if there were really fifty treasures here, then Qin Xuebing would not sell them, and he would not be able to do anything.

"Okay, that's it." Qian Zhengtai has no opinion, he has pursued fifty treasures for decades, and the fighters who can't be collected are very rare, and the chance of encountering them here is very small.

"I'm okay with that!" Ye Zijing was a little helpless, but Qin Xuebing had her own pursuits, and she couldn't force it.

Several people got busy and began to classify copper coins, and their mouths were full of words, Qian Zhengtai muttered very dissatisfiedly: "Hongwu Tongbao, Hongwu Tongbao again, why are there so many Hongwu Tongbao?" ”

It's not that Qian Zhengtai doesn't look down on Hongwu Tongbao, Hongwu is the name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, since the first year of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Tongbao began to be minted, it is a popular in the ancient coin market, and the transaction price is not low, the Hongwu Tongbao engraved with the word "Beijing" on the back is folded for two coins, and there are more than a dozen kinds of prices thousands.

It's just that Qian Zhengtai has already gathered a set of Hongwu Tongbao, and Hongwu Tongbao is no longer very attractive to him. He would have preferred to have more copper coins in the pile that he didn't have.

"One, two, three......"

Qian Beibei was counting the Hongwu Tongbao picked out by everyone, and soon exclaimed: "Fifty-eight Hongwu Tongbao has been collected." ”

"One set?" Qin Xuebing was happy, the price of a complete set is definitely higher than that of a piece, and if a set is collected, the price will increase by at least two percent.

"Unfortunately, it's still incomplete." Ye Zijing sighed, there are actually sixty-one kinds of Hongwu Tongbao, but three of them have not been handed down, so that now fifty-eight kinds are counted as one set.

"It's time to be content, let alone make up sixty-one, even if there are only fifty-nine, the value is unimaginable." Qian Zhengtai shook his head and smiled bitterly, if there is one more, the extra one is a unique product, which can cause a sensation in the collection and archaeological circles, and then hype it appropriately, it can auction the copper coin at a sky-high price.

"Xiao Qin's good luck!" Ouyang Zhanjun couldn't help but be envious, if this set of fifty-eight Hongwu Tongbao was sold at zero, the price would be about 120,000, but if one set was gathered, it would be worth at least 150,000.

For Ouyang Zhanjun, 150,000 is just a drop in the bucket, but for people who like to collect, good things are not necessarily based on price, and this set of Hongwu Tongbao has a high collection value.

"It's not going to fall into your hands in the end." Qin Xuebing shook his head, according to the current estimate, it is far from worth two million, which means that Qin Xuebing bought these copper coins at a high price, which is cheaper than a few of them.

But Qin Xuebing doesn't care, the original intention of buying these copper coins has been achieved, and it is already an unexpected joy that they can be worth hundreds of thousands.

"Grandma Liu's father-in-law won't be a fan of Hongwu, right? Why are there so many Hongwu Tongbao? The more Qian Beibei looked at it, the more depressed she became, and she could almost make up a second set of Hongwu Tongbao.

"That's not great." Qin Xuebing was very happy, the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty were very popular in the market, and the price was much higher than that of the Qing Dynasty.

"Don't rejoice too early, there are more in the Qing Dynasty."

Qian Beibei pointed to several piles of copper coins: "Shunzhi's, Kangxi's, Yongzheng's, Qianlong's, and Jiaqing's are estimated to be integrated, and there are surpluses." ”

"There are indeed too many Shunzhi Tongbao." Qin Xuebing was also a little speechless, there are more than 40 types of Shunzhi Tongbao, but there are hundreds here.

The key is that Shunzhi Tongbao is not worth much, most of them are more than ten or dozens of yuan, and only a few prices are more than 1,000.

"Don't be unhappy, look at this." Qian Beibei quickly picked out a copper coin from the Shunzhi Tongbao pile and handed it over.

"Fold two coins and carve the original words on the back, is it very strange?"

Qin Xuebing pursed his lips, and immediately felt that something was wrong, there were a lot of small flat coins circulating in Shunzhi Tongbao, but the two coins were very rare, and only the "name of the bureau" money was found to be recited, and it was the word "Baoquan", and there was no "original" word engraved at all.

"Is it a new breed?" Qin Xuebing couldn't help but be excited, if it was a new discovery, then this copper coin would be a unique piece in the world, and it would be possible to sell hundreds of thousands.

"How dare you think about it?" Qian Beibei rolled her eyes, and the only product was not cabbage.

"This is the Eagle Mother." Qin Xuebing finally remembered that among the types of Shunzhi Tongbao that were born, only the carving mother was the carving mother who folded two coins and engraved the original words on the back.

Even so, Qin Xuebing was already very satisfied, and the carving mother of any version of the copper coin was very rare and expensive. At present, in the market, this version of the carving mother is more than 20,000, and it is not surprising that if you meet a favorite, it will sell for 30,000.

"It's the Eagle Mother again, Xiao Qin, your luck ......" Ouyang Zhanjun didn't know how to describe it, it was undeniable that two million was expensive, but gold was valuable, antiques were priceless, in his eyes, two million was worth buying such a rich collection.

If Qin Xuebing was willing, he could immediately write a check for two million and pack the copper coins away. Of course, Ye Zijing and Qian Zhengtai will not agree no matter what.

"It's good luck, but it's a pity that I haven't found fifty Jane yet." Qin Xuebing was a little sorry, he almost regarded collecting fifty treasures as his first collection goal.

"Among the fifty treasures, most of them are relatively old, and most of your copper coins are the currency of the Ming and Qing dynasties, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find fifty treasures."

Qian Zhengtai explained, and said: "Of course, you don't have to be discouraged, there are several of the fifty treasures from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and if you look for it again, you may find it." ”

"This big pile is Xianfeng, you look carefully." Qian Beibei pointed to another pile of copper coins.

During the Xianfeng period of Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty, the military expenditure increased greatly, the treasury was empty, the prices soared, the currency was seriously depreciated, and the currency system was extremely chaotic, and there were many categories, and the collection of the History Museum of China alone was as high as 917 kinds.

Of course, the chaotic shape does not mean that there are no treasures, and the fifty treasures include four of them, namely Xianfeng Yuanbao Yidang five hundred and one thousand; Xianfeng Yuan baby Su dang five hundred, when thousand; Xianfengtong baby blessing back one hundred Qing; Xianfeng Tong Baosheng Jing is a money hanging.

Qin Xuebing looked through it carefully, but did not find fifty treasures, but took out another copper coin: "It seems that today I have a good relationship with the carving mother, and the Xianfeng ingots are folded fifty back treasure springs to be a hundred" carving mother. ”

Everyone was speechless for a moment, it is usually rare to see a carving mother, Qin Xuebing is good, and he will find three in a while. In the end, Qian Zhengtai said sourly: "There are many types of Xianfeng ingots, and there are many carving mothers, so the price is relatively low, at most 10,000 yuan." ”

"A pound of copper is only a few dozen yuan, and a copper coin is 10,000 yuan, which is very good." Qin Xuebing was very content, and for him, the price of every copper coin was an unexpected joy.

"Can that be counted? Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi went down the mountain and the big pot was still made of worthless clay. ”

Ouyang Zhanjun couldn't cry or laugh, if the price was based on the material, then the antiques could only be expensive with jade and gold: "But your harvest makes me understand a truth, you must be filial, otherwise your parents will not be able to get good things in his hands." ”

Everyone thought that if the three brothers Liu Yuanguang were filial, how could the plum bottle of Ming Yongle Neifu and this bag of copper coins fall into the hands of outsiders?

What is particularly ridiculous is that Liu Yuanming and Liu Yuanhong, the brothers, are not filial because they care about alimony, but they don't know that if they are filial to their parents, how much can they get?

Qian Zhengtai was even more proud: "That's right, my son is not filial, and he dares not to learn antiques from Lao Tzu, so in the future, the Sifang Pavilion will be left to Beibei." ”

Everyone couldn't cry and laugh even more, what kind of unfilial piety is this? At most, the operator does not inherit his father's business.

"When I finally saw the remnants, I thought each one would be in good condition." Qian Beibei interrupted Qian Zhengtai's indecent speech as if she had made a new discovery, her parents were very filial except that they didn't like to collect.

"Such a big bag of copper coins is put together, bumped and bumped, and it is normal for it to be damaged after a long time, just don't be a treasure."

Qin Xuebing took the copper coin, saw the four words engraved on the front clearly, and couldn't help but have a look of ecstasy on his face: "Fifty Zhen, finally let me see fifty Zhen." ”

But after a moment, the laughter stopped abruptly, Qin Xuebing put on a stinky face, and said with a mournful voice: "Oh my God, why am I so unlucky, I finally found a fifty treasure, but a corner was broken." Depressed, so many copper coins, that one can't be broken, why is this one broken? ”

"Fifty Jane, what variety, let me see."

Qian Zhengtai was moved, hurriedly snatched the copper coin, said "Hell", put down the copper coin again, and hurriedly ran away, causing everyone to look at each other.

ps: I finally saw the recommended ticket, thank you very much, and please continue to support, the phase master is free to tell the hexagram, everyone is happy, ha!
