Chapter 445: Bronze Mirror

Qiang Zhaojun laughed and said: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, didn't I promise you before, we men spit on a nail, you don't want me to be a villain who doesn't believe in my words, right?" Besides, you made me tens of millions of dollars before, and the money for a house is really nothing! ”

Qiang Zhaojun said so, and Chu Chen would be a little unsympathetic if he refused again, so he had to agree......

After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen patted his head and secretly said that he was too careless and didn't know how to prepare the house early.

Although there are new houses for sale with fine decoration, they must not only be near Panjiayuan, but also have good quality decoration, and ordinary people really can't buy them in a while, and even if they buy the price, they may not be cheap.

Fortunately, Chu Chen now has many information channels, and Sun Xingnan has a relationship in this regard, so he contacted the house with just one phone call, and the price is quite cheap.

Knowing that the formalities could be completed on Monday, Chu Chen also sighed a little, when he first came to the capital, he always felt that relying on others was incompetent, no matter what was done alone, it was a real ability, and it was only after a few years of hawker career that he realized that his ideas were so naΓ―ve.

Society is a hodgepodge, there are some things you can't do without the help of others, just like the antique industry, it is particularly xenophobic, such as purchases, if there is no help from others, you can't get the right price at all, some good things, no one else will sell you without the introduction of acquaintances.

These years of hawker career, although some of Chu Chen's edges and corners have been smoothed. But the help to him is undoubtedly huge, at least he is no longer averse to asking for help.

But despite this, Chu Chen still likes to help people but doesn't like to ask for people, until Liu Lao said something to him, he said:

"Achen, I've been observing you for a while, and I found that you like to solve everything on your own, and it's good to say that you do this, but you have to think that you still have relatives and friends, and sometimes things can be easily done by relatives and friends. But you have to do it your own. ”

"Once or twice may be nothing. But often, people will only think that you are arrogant and look down on them, so they are reluctant to ask them for help. In the long run, this will only alienate others. ”

"People want to be good friends. That requires a little bit of effort on both sides. In addition to your efforts, you also have to get something from the other person, even if it is just a return that is insignificant to you. Others will also be happy in their hearts and feel that you treat them as friends, so that the friendship between you will last for a long time. ……”

Ever since listening to his master's words, Chu Chen has tried to integrate the meaning into his life, and he immediately felt the difference.

is like the friendship with Liu Sizhe, although there are some factors in his family, but if you follow the previous behavior, it is unlikely that you will get along so well in two or three months.

…………

In a blink of an eye, it was Tuesday again, and under the overtime of the construction party, the second floor of the store was finally completed with quality and quantity, and with the inspection by the person in charge of the construction party, Chu Chen was very satisfied with the decoration and security projects.

The decoration here is made of environmentally friendly materials, although there will be some peculiar smell in the room, but put a few charcoal bags and the like, and it can be officially used the next day, which also solves the problem of the jade carving master's workplace.

When he had nothing to do, Chu Chen was in the newly completed reception room on the second floor, drinking tea and chatting with Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu.

Speaking of which, although Lao Wu has a problem with alcoholism, it is precisely because of this problem that he has made many drinking friends, so his news channels are much more than Zhou Wenping, and Zhou Wenwen is stable and has a strong sense of responsibility, and the two cooperate, Chu Chen is really not afraid that they will mess up his store.

The three of them chatted all morning, in addition to the things in the shop, the fifth said a lot of news about the antique street, who sold it, who stepped on the "landmine", who picked up the leakage, etc., Chu Chen felt a little itchy in his heart, so after lunch, after resting for a while, he planned to go to the Panjiayuan next door to have a look.

Today is Tuesday, there are not many people in the market, walking between the stalls, Chu Chen sighed in his heart, if he didn't get the ability, it was likely that he would still be one of these vendors!

In fact, speaking of which, the antique industry is really not big, and the news spreads very quickly, for example, Chu Chen became a closed disciple of Liu Lao, and it has already been spread among the hawkers who are familiar with him, plus he was an expert some time ago, and many people know him, so that the price of the things he likes is directly rising.

There is no way, who told him that he is now both a disciple and an expert of Liu Lao, in the eyes of these hawkers, how can the things he fancy be bad.

However, these people are all human spirits, and it is impossible to set the price too outrageous, if the price is too expensive, Chu Chen will not buy it, and it will also cause Chu Chen's disgust, there is a way to make money in harmony, and to do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself for the sake of temporary pleasure, that is not what a shrewd businessman will do.

And as the saying goes, stay a line, you will see each other in the future, maybe there will be a time to ask Chu Chen in the future!

Although the price is not outrageous, it still makes Chu Chen smile bitterly in his heart, just like this, unless the other party looks at the leaky eye, it is impossible to pick up a big leak, at most it is possible to pick up a small leak.

Fortunately, Panjiayuan is the most popular antique market in the country, and vendors from all over the country will come here, and not everyone will know him, just like the vendor selling bronze in front of him, Chu Chen has never encountered it before.

"Little brother, what do you want?" The stall owner greeted warmly: "I have everything from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty bronzes here, you see this Tang mirror, or Yang Yuhuan used, how about it, beautiful!" If you like it, let's negotiate the price! ”

Chu Chen smiled when he saw the bronze mirror in his hand, the ornamentation is indeed beautiful, but the whole mirror looks shiny, and it looks like a modern machine, and people who know a little bit can generally see it as long as they don't have a wealth obsession.

Anyway, there was nothing to do, Chu Chen smiled and quipped: "Dude, you still know Yang Yuhuan, introduce me to me one day, I haven't seen a real person yet!" ”

The stall owner smiled and put the bronze mirror in his hand back in place: "Then you can take a look casually, what do you like, the price package is satisfactory to you!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, then lowered his head and looked at the stall, but there are all Yang Yuhuan's mirrors here, and good things are obviously limited, and after looking at it for a while, the only thing that catches his eye is only a few bronze mirrors.

One of them is a bronze mirror with a handle in the Song Dynasty, which is rare among the bronze mirrors of the Song Dynasty.

The copper ban in the Song Dynasty was relatively strict, so the reaction on the copper mirror was not as thick and heavy as the bronze mirror of the Han and Tang dynasties, the mirror wall was light and thin, and the Song alloy technology was not as good as the previous copper mirror, and the ornamentation also showed the characteristics of blurred ornamentation, thick lines and unsmoothness, especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, some very simple copper mirrors made by ZuΓ², there was almost no aesthetics at all.

However, the bronze mirror with a handle in front of Chu Chen's eyes is not ordinary, this mirror is round, without buttons, with a rectangular handle, and a narrow plain mirror edge. The main ornament of the mirror is the picture of the fairy turtle and crane, and the ornament is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower.

The upper part is bright and the moon is in the sky, surrounded by laurel trees, the branches are vigorous, sparse and dense; Under the middle tree sits an immortal, on the right stands a waiter, and on the left the crane spreads its wings and bows its head; The lower part of the turtle crawls with its head held high, and the handle is a lotus leaf figure.

Like this kind of delicate ornamentation of the bronze mirror, in the Song Dynasty is quite rare, and it is also a bronze mirror with a handle, its appearance has a great impact on future generations, and even many modern glass mirrors with a handle are also a reference to the Song mirror, which can be said to be quite rare and precious.

But it's a pity that this mirror doesn't know if it was dropped before or what's going on, the mirror is broken into three pieces, and the person who repaired it is not highly skilled, which makes this mirror really bad.

Chu Chen frowned and carefully looked at the repaired place, and it could be seen from the repaired place that the mirror had not been damaged for a long time, and the glue used for the repair should not be stubborn, that is to say, there was still the possibility of remediation.

If the new repair is perfect, the value of this rare Song Dynasty fairy mirror with handle, not to mention that it can reach the original ten percent, seven or eight percent.

Putting down the bronze mirror in his hand, Chu Chen looked at the other bronze mirrors again, but there were not a few pieces that he was interested in, until the last bronze mirror aroused his interest.

What aroused Chu Chen's interest was nothing else, it was the size of this bronze mirror, which was thirty-six or seven centimeters.

Ancient bronze mirrors can be divided into three sizes: large, medium, and small. Small copper mirrors are generally 3-8 cm in size, small and thin, and can be carried around the waist with a rope. The medium-sized copper mirror is 10-14 cm in size, which is relatively heavy and exquisite, and is generally placed on the mirror table or on the wall, and is stored with a delicate mirror after use.

The large bronze mirror is the dressing mirror, which is generally relatively rare, mostly used by the palace nobles, and the bronze mirror of 367 cm like this is quite rare.

It's just a pity that the mirror is painted with red paint, and it is impossible to tell what is on it, Chu Chen guessed that it was probably that time, and he was afraid that he would be regarded as the "four olds", so he brushed red paint to cover up.

Others couldn't see the content inside, but it was difficult for Chu Chen, he directly used the Lingbao Eye on the bronze mirror, and when the ornament under the red mirror was displayed in front of him, his heart began to beat violently, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of surprise.

Fortunately, after his trip to England, his control of this kind of accident has increased greatly, and in just a short moment, he has stopped this kind of feeling, coupled with the cover of the large bronze mirror in front of him, the stall owner didn't notice the strange expression Chu Chen showed at all.
