Chapter 178: The Bronze Box
Alpine oolong Ye Chen has also heard, this is a kind of tea unique to Taiwan, smelling the rich fragrance of tea, Ye Chen took a sip gently, the entrance was full of fragrance, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" ”
The old man smiled and said: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Zhao Mingxuan, the fourth in the family, others call me the fourth master, the painting you want is also entrusted to me by my friend in Taiwan to take him to sell, since you are introduced by Li Lao, I am also much more relieved, after all, this painting is a little disgraceful." ”
"Hello Fourth Master, my surname is Ye, you can call me Xiao Ye, I understand what you say." Ye Chen put down the teacup and said.
"Well, you sit down for a while, and I'll go get the painting." After speaking, the fourth master entered a small room with a cloth curtain behind him.
After a while, the fourth master walked over with a pair of white gloves and a painting in his hand, and slowly opened the painting on the large table next to him.
Ye Chen also walked to the table and took a closer look, not to mention, this painting is really good, the cow in the painting is the same as the real one, very expressive, each cow has a different posture and different colors, there are black and white cows, there are yellow cows, there are black cows, and so on.
However, just looking at it, Ye Chen can't be sure of the authenticity of the painting, he doesn't have the level of his master.
Recalling the antique appraisal in his memory, Ye Chen stretched out his hand and stroked it on the painting, and soon Ye Chen judged that this painting was a fake by virtue of experience, but he still needed to touch it well to see how it was, sneering in his heart, but he didn't move on the surface.
Just touched it twice, but the fourth master who was standing on the side stopped Ye Chen and said: "Little brother, you don't have gloves yet, you can't touch them, otherwise the sweat on your hands will destroy the painting, come and wear a pair of gloves to look at it again." ”
Ye Chen was slightly stunned, forgetting this stubble, the last time he looked at Tang Yin's fake painting, Qi Changsheng, who sold the painting, didn't understand this, Ye Chen was able to follow Xiaomo's cover to perceive the authenticity of the painting with his hands.
I don't know if wearing gloves has any effect, and I haven't tried it before.
took a pair of gloves from the little guy's hand, lowered his head and pretended to look at the authenticity of the painting with a magnifying glass, and stroked the painting with one hand, which made Ye Chen a little depressed, it was useless to wear gloves, but he had already seen the authenticity of the painting with experience, and he just wanted to be more sure by checking it with his hand.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen sneered in his heart, it seems that this fourth master is not a good thing, I am afraid that he will also have some entanglements with those people.
Putting down the magnifying glass, Ye Chen walked to the tea table and sat down, lit a cigarette and said, "Fourth master, I can't see this painting accurately." ”
The fourth master raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there any problem?" ”
"It's not a problem, anyway, I'm not sure about it, is there anything good that the fourth master can take out and see, if it's only this painting, forget it, originally I wanted to buy a painting for the old man at home, but now I'm not sure about it, so I'm sorry." Ye Chendao.
"It's okay, after all, this is not a small amount, it's normal if you can't eat it, if you want to say that I have another good thing, I don't know if you can eat it accurately." The fourth master saw that Ye Chen was relatively young, and the meaning in his words was obviously to despise him, and Ye Chen didn't know how.
The reason for saying this is, of course, to paralyze the other party, not wanting the other party to see that their side is ready, to avoid revealing flaws, and to continue to look at things, of course, is to tell these people that they have not found a good thing to use as a lot at the bottom of the box.
"Look, of course, I'm dying of worry trying to find something good." Ye Chen said anxiously.
The fourth master smiled: "Then you wait a while, I'll go get something." ”
With a cigarette, the fourth master walked over with something covered with a cloth.
Ye Chen glanced slightly, his eyes condensed, what is this?
The fourth master put the things on the table, opened the yellow sermon and said, "How about you look at this thing?" ”
"Fourth master, forgive me for being clumsy, this thing is bronze?" Ye Chen wondered.
"Yes, this is a bronze box from the Warring States period that I bought from a friend. How about you look at this thing? The fourth master said with a smile.
"Fourth master, with all due respect, this bronze box is not worth much, how can this be considered a good thing, and that painting can't be compared at all." Ye Chen wondered.
"I'm not done yet, this bronze box is not the most important, what is in the box is the most important." The fourth master said.
"Oh? May you hear more, what's in this box? Ye Chen had actually enabled the clairlight to see inside, but he didn't know what it was.
The fourth master took out a bronze key and opened the box, took out a piece of yellow silk from the box, and slowly opened it: "This is a piece of yellow silk, from the Warring States period to the present, there are very few yellow silk that has been so well preserved, and these things are used by the royal family, the things recorded here are somewhat incredible, maybe there will be a big harvest, I remember that someone received a piece of this yellow silk, cracked the things on the yellow silk, and successfully found a tomb of the Chu king, and made a fortune, so don't underestimate this yellow silk." ”
Ye Chen sneered in his heart, he didn't know what this yellow silk was, he sold it for so much money and deceived ghosts.
Ye Chen took the yellow silk from the fourth master's hand and looked at it, and sure enough, this is a modern imitation.
Gently putting down the yellow silk, Ye Chen said: "Fourth master, you make a price, how much can this be sold together?" ”
"That's the number." The fourth master stretched out his palm and said.
"Five million? It's too expensive, isn't it? Ye Chen said.
"It's not expensive, it's still looking at you being introduced by Elder Li, so I won't be so cheap." The fourth master said.
"Fourth master, how about discussing something with you, I don't want this yellow silk, how about selling me this bronze box?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"How to open and sell this, the box is given to you, and the provenance of this yellow silk is gone." The fourth master said in a deep voice.
"No room for accommodation? To be honest, I like this box a lot, but this yellow silk is of little use to me. Ye Chen looked at the fourth master and said.
"This really can't be sold." The fourth master shook his head and said.
Ye Chen sighed and said, "Then there's no need to talk about it, I'll come back if I have good things in the future." Leave. ”
Seeing that Ye Chen was leaving, the fourth master frowned slightly, this kid didn't go in with oil and salt, he looked stunned, but he didn't expect to ask for anything.
"Little brother, don't worry, anything can be discussed, if you take a fancy to this bronze box, we can talk about it again." The fourth master smiled.
"Oh? What price can the fourth master give, if it is suitable, I will take this thing and send it to the old man. Ye Chen turned around and said.
"Well, you can give this number." The fourth master stretched out two fingers and said.
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I can only give you 500,000, this is the highest price I can offer, and I don't want it if I have more." ”
The fourth master's eyes flashed slightly and he thought about it: "Okay, let's make a favor with this money, I'll give it to you cheaply, if you want anything good in the future, you can just think about me." ”
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Then thank you Fourth Master." ”
The young man who swiped the card used a brocade box to put the bronze box inside, and the yellow silk was put away by the fourth master.
"Fourth master, thank you today, since the things have been bought, I will go first." Ye Chen arched his hand.
"Walk slowly." The fourth master said.
Carrying something in his hand, Ye Chen's heart was pounding, this box was not as simple as it seemed, this bronze box was a real thing, and the fourth master did not find its subtleties, but this was effortless for Ye Chen, who had a see-through eye, and he could see all the boxes clearly.
Just now, Ye Chen glanced at the fourth master when he came out with the box, at first he only saw a yellow silk in the box, but when he saw the bottom, he saw a booklet, originally Ye Chen thought that the fourth master deliberately put it inside.
I didn't think that the four masters only opened the lid on the top and took out the yellow silk for Ye Chen to see, but the booklet below was not taken out, which made Ye Chen very puzzled, didn't the four masters know that there was this booklet in the box?
With the heart of trying it out, Ye Chen spent 500,000 yuan to buy this box, thinking that he had just passed the antique appraisal and the stroking of his hands to determine that this bronze box was indeed from the Warring States Period, as for whether it was from the royal family, it remains to be verified, and now he is looking for a place to take out the contents of this box to see what it is.
Ye Chen didn't know that this bronze box was stolen from the tomb by a group of people and sold to the fourth master when they robbed the tomb, and the fourth master just took out this thing and put it into a made Huang Juan just to cover it up.
