Chapter 967: The Kingdom of Ran
The man surnamed Zhang was stunned, he understood what Han Peacock meant, after all, it was the first time for them to trade, and it was impossible for him to directly take out the good things to Han Peacock, and Han Peacock's meaning was already obvious, if there was still something, he would also show sincerity, and he would buy this batch of gold jewelry for a price of one million.
After hesitating for a moment, the man gritted his teeth and said: "I really have two heavy weapons in my hand, but let me tell you first, the price of the two things is more than 10 million, if you don't have so much money, I don't have to bother." ”
"Ten million? If the things are good and the money is not a problem, Liu Wu, you make a phone call and send one million yuan to this big brother to his account first. Han Peacock's heart is also happy, it seems that this man really has good things at home.
The man was also very happy, even if those two things could not be sold, as long as he sold this batch of gold ornaments, he would have the money to leave here.
The man sent the bank account directly to Liu Fu's mobile phone, and only a minute later, the transfer prompt came.
Seeing the text message, the man's face bloomed with a smile: "You guys wait a minute, I'll go get something for you." ”
When the man surnamed Zhang left, Liu Wu had already sorted out the things piled up in the corner of the room.
Han Peacock looked at those jade pendants, shaped plates, jade square tubes, round jade plates, jade beads and agate tubes, and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Do you know what these things are?" Seeing Han Peacock's expression, Liu Fu immediately asked.
Seeing that Liu Fu and Qin Mingyue were both looking at him with curious eyes, Han Peacock said, "I guessed a few." However, the ins and outs of the whole thing are still unclear. ”
"As long as something is true, everything else is secondary." Qin Mingyue said.
Liu Wu thought more: "Is there any trouble?" ”
Han Peacock thought for a moment and said: "As long as it is a good thing, there will definitely be trouble, but as long as these are not stolen goods, we can still solve some troubles." ”
Seeing Han Peacock's confident appearance, Liu Wu and Qin Mingyue were all relieved.
Han Peacock said: "You two sort out all these, there should be more than five hundred of these things, count them carefully." See if there's any less.
"What is this thing. There are a lot of patterns, huh? At this time, Qin Mingyue picked up a long strip of things and looked at it curiously.
Han Peacock looked over and immediately said, "It should be a jade grip." ”
"Jade Grip?" Liu Wu said in surprise.
Qin Mingyue said, "What is the jade grip?" ”
Liu Wu explained: "The jade grip is the utensils held in the hands of the deceased, one of the jade burial vessels. The ancients believed that you could not leave empty-handed when you died. Hold on to wealth and power. The Neolithic was held in the hands with animal teeth; Shang and Zhou periods. The deceased held several more shellfish coins in his hand. Because the ancients believed that shellfish was a symbol of wealth.
In the Han Dynasty, a single line was carved on the long column, which was the most commonly used Han Ba knife carving method in the Han Dynasty. Carved into a jade pig. Because the pig was a symbol of wealth, the jade pig became the most popular jade grip in the Han Dynasty. ”
"This is very similar to the jade pig dragon, and the head is also a pig's head, is this from the Han Dynasty?" Qin Mingyue said.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Do you know why these things are piled up there and no one wants them?" This is because these things are so famous, so there are a lot of imitations, if they are really jade grips from the Han Dynasty, they can still be here? ”
"That's right." Qin Mingyue casually threw the jade grip into a pile of jade artifacts, and saw the corners of Han Peacock's mouth twitch.
Liu Wu looked at Han Peacock's appearance, pursed his lips and smiled, and stopped talking, because at this time, the owner of this place walked out again.
Seeing the two things that the man was holding, Han Peacock smiled: "Bronze Ding and Ancient Sword? Brother Zhang really gave me a huge surprise. ”
"yes, it's a family heirloom." The man surnamed Zhang smiled smugly and put these two things on the table.
Han Peacock took a closer look, and his face sank: "Brother Zhang didn't deceive me for being young, right?" ”
"How?" The man surnamed Zhang was stunned and asked in surprise.
Han Peacock said: "This is the golden sheath jade sword, that is Jiang Ding, right?" ”
"Yes, you know? If you know, you should know that this is a treasure, right? The man surnamed Zhang said immediately.
Han Peacock said with a cold face: "Brother Zhang, I can't hide it, we are from the Demon Capital, and I am from the Demon Capital Antique Association." ”
"I know that! If you're not an expert, I won't show you these two treasures! The man surnamed Zhang said calmly.
However, although he was very calm, Han Peacock still saw a trace of chagrin in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
Looking at the appearance of the man surnamed Zhang, Han Peacock smiled: "This is a relic of the ancient kingdom, the price of 10 million is too wronged to them, I think Brother Zhang should send it away!" Maybe at the auction, it can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars. ”
"Ran? How come you have never heard of such a country? Qin Mingyue said.
Liu Wu said thoughtfully: "Could it be the country of Lai at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty?" ”
Han Peacock nodded and said: "That's it, there have been unearthed cultural relics from the ancient kingdom on display in the magic capital, including these two, the golden sheath jade sword and the Jiang Ding." ”
There are 143 pieces of cultural relics from the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Spring and Autumn Period on display in the Modu Museum, presenting a history of the Zhou Dynasty and letting people know the culture of the ancient Rui Kingdom.
According to historical records, the Rui Kingdom began at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, entered the field of view of historians from the time of King Wen of Zhou, and was destroyed by Qin Mugong in 640 BC.
In the spring of 2005, the cemeteries of Rui in Shaanxi, West Korea, Chengliang and Daicun Rui were discovered, becoming the "top ten archaeological discoveries in the country" that year.
In the tomb group that was huge, almost undisturbed, and the relics were relatively well preserved, a never-before-seen gold sheath and jade sword, a large number of exquisite gold ornaments, and seven tripods and six guis symbolizing the status of princes were found.
These cultural relics appeared in Shangbo one by one this time, allowing people to have a clear and intuitive understanding of the geography and politics of the Zhou Dynasty, the feudal system, the use of aristocratic utensils and funeral customs.
The exhibits included bronze, jade and gold, and the bronzes were not only full of ceremonial instruments, but also small toys such as ornately carved bronze incense burners, which gave a glimpse of the leisure tastes of aristocratic women at that time.
Only from the Rui Guohuan cemetery unearthed as many as 48 pieces of gold, including gold epaulettes, gold wrist ornaments, gold belt ornaments, gold ornaments and gold utensils, among which the gold shoulder ornament is carved with hollow and yin line technique, the pattern is symmetrical, the image of man and dragon is integrated, this shape of the epaulette is found for the first time.
The gold scabbard is even more special, the scabbard was usually made of leather in that era, and the unearthed scabbard has a pointed shape on the front, hollowed out to carve out three groups of symmetrical dragon patterns, the dragon opens its mouth to show its fangs, and is equipped with a jade sword, which is the only gold scabbard found in the pre-Qin period found by the archaeological community so far.
The highlight of the exhibition was jade, and Rui Huang's wife, Rui Jiang, was a jade lover, and 571 pieces of jade were unearthed from her tomb, ranging from extravagant jade ornaments to her collection of ancient jade from an earlier era.
She wears a trapezoidal plaque jade group wear, restored up to one meter long, gorgeous, this set of jade pendant to the chest, by the jade trapezoidal plate, jade square tube, round jade plate, jade beads and agate tube and other more than 500 pieces of ornaments.
The trapezoidal plaque in the middle is a green jade carving, carved out of the deformed animal face pattern, the ornaments at the upper end of the jade plaque are connected into a necklace, worn on the neck, and the ornaments at the lower end of the jade plaque are connected into 11 chains, which are an umbrella-shaped radiation.
The hostess of this domineering jade ornament is a strange woman with an iron fist. After the death of Duke Rui Huan, Rui Jiang was dissatisfied with his son's beauty, expelled him from the country, and went into exile in Wei, and she came to oversee Rui's internal affairs.
Qin State despised Rui Jiang as a woman, and took the opportunity to send troops, not wanting to be defeated, so he did not dare to commit Rui from now on, and Mu Gong's destruction of Rui was more than a hundred years later.
A tripod was also unearthed from the Rui Huan cemetery, and the inscription engraved was to the effect that "Rui Jiang was specially made for the sacrifice of Huan Gong", according to which it was inferred that Rui Jiang held the right to sacrifice to the country at that time, and Han Peacock said that the Jiang Ding was this piece.
In the pre-Qin period, sacrifice and declaration of war were considered the prerogatives of the rulers, and it can be seen that after the death of Duke Huan, Rui Jiang became the de facto monarch of the state, which was more than 1,400 years before Wu Zetian became emperor.
This tough Iron Lady is a winner in the world of men's schemes, and is an expert in the appreciation and collection of jade, and found a jade pig dragon in her tomb, the surface of this thing is earthy brown, mixed with yellow spots, the head is huge, the body is curled to form a ring that almost coincides with the head and tail, the ears on the head are two erected arcs, a pair of slightly convex round eyes, and there are several faint folds on the face.
This jade pig dragon is a rarity, because it is a relic of the Hongshan culture, the relics of the Red Mountain that originated in the northeast 5,000 years ago, appeared in the tomb of a monarch's wife in the Central Plains 2,700 years ago, it can be seen that in the early Spring and Autumn Period, the collection has become the elegance of the aristocracy, and the wife of Rui Huan, Jiang, is obviously a solution.
Seeing that Han Peacock was very familiar with it, and explained the ins and outs of his two things clearly, the man surnamed Zhang knew that he couldn't fool him, so he said curtly: "Since Boss Han is an expert, please take a closer look, if it is an ordinary fake, how can I take it out to humiliate myself?" ”
The appearance of the man surnamed Zhang made Liu Wu and Qin Mingyue look at each other, and the two of them forced a smile and looked at Han Peacock, if they didn't know that the Jade Dragon Pig was genuine, Liu Wu and Han Peacock didn't know the truth of the matter.
At this time, Han Peacock had already said very clearly, the two daughters of the Golden Sheath Jade Sword and Jiang Ding didn't know what was going on, but the Jade Dragon Pig and the gold ornaments had been confirmed by Han Peacock, and Liu Fu also knew that Han Peacock also attached great importance to the jade artifacts that were piled up together.
From all indications, Han Peacock knows that these things are genuine, since they are genuine, Han Peacock is still suppressing the man surnamed Zhang, which once again proves a truth, and it is the buyer who finds fault.
"All I can say is that it's a good imitation." Han Peacock pretended to be dead casually, and after checking the golden sheath jade sword and Jiang Ding again, he said indifferently. (To be continued......)
