Chapter 10 Legacies

"When did you become interested in these things?"

Wang Shitang saw Li Mian playing with the objects on the shelf, and his face was a little strange.

"There's nothing good about it here, I keep all my good things at home, if you like it, you can go over and pick two and bring them back."

It is impossible for Wang Shitang to be so generous if he were someone else, and Li Mourning can enjoy this kind of treatment.

It's not that he likes Li Mourning's cousin very much, it's just that in recent years, Li Mourning's parents' business has become bigger and bigger, and their influence in Linhai City has become stronger and stronger, and they are still developing and growing benignly.

This has reached the point where even Wang Shitang, who has small assets in his own right, wants to build a good relationship.

Otherwise, a few years ago, Wang Shitang might have invited Li Mourning to his house as a guest, but it was completely impossible to send two antiques casually.

"Okay, but I don't have to send it, I prefer the process of finding these things myself." Li Mian put a purple clay pot back on the shelf, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

None of the dozen or so objects on top offer as much potential as small squares.

"Don't you see it yet?" He returned to his desk and sat down.

"You thing...... It seems to be a remnant of the Timo era. Wang Shitang didn't know when he took out a heavy information book, and compared it to the content of the book, he said with some uncertainty.

"The time of Timo?" Li Mian was slightly stunned, "Is that the era that doesn't exist in the legend?" ”

"That's right, it's the Dimo era, whether it's the official history or the wild history, there is no relevant written record at all." Wang Shitang nodded.

Li Mian looked at the small dark red square card on the table in surprise, but he didn't expect it to come from the legendary Dimo era.

The Timo era, a special era that existed 1,200 years ago, with various traces left, but strangely without any written records.

This situation does not only exist in Dongluo Xingzhou, but also on all continents in the world, only because the most powerful country in the world at that time was the Emperor Dynasty that almost unified the entire Dongluo Star Continent, so it was called the Emperor Era.

"The Timo era is the most special era in human history, and it can be seen from the various relics found that during that period, the economic and cultural development of all parts of the world reached its peak, which lasted for two hundred years, but for some reason no relevant written records were left......"

Wang Shitang flipped through the heavy information book while briefly explaining the mystery and particularity of the Emperor Mo era.

Because there is no written record, and the school textbook does not mention half a word about the Timo era, Li Mian can know the existence of the Dimo era, or he once saw only a few words on the Internet.

Therefore, he knew very little about the Timo era, and basically knew nothing except that there was a Dimo dynasty.

"I'm not sure about it."

Wang Shitang compared the information for a long time, and finally came up with such a sentence.

"The lines on it look very much like a kind of aristocratic ornament from the Dimo era, but I have limited information here, so I need to find a more professional person to identify it."

"It's fine." Li Mian was not in a hurry, anyway, the potential points above had already been absorbed, "Uncle Cousin, do you have any relics from the Dimo era in your house?" ”

He had a faint feeling that something like potential might be inseparable from that mysterious Dimo era.

If you can get in touch with other remnants of the Temo era, you may be able to gain something you didn't expect.

"No, there are not many relics from the Dimo era, and each one is worth a lot of money, and it is not something that ordinary people can collect."

Wang Shitang shook his head.

Because of the mystery and particularity of the Timo era, the relics handed down from the Timo era are very popular among collectors, and on the other hand, many scholars also need to study the Timo era through them, which increases their scarcity.

"But I know a friend, he is very obsessed with the Timo era, and his family has a collection of various 'relics' from the Dimo era, many of which are true or false He himself doesn't know, if you like it, I can introduce you to him."

"Then it's going to be a problem for my cousin."

Li Mourning's eyes lit up, Wang Shitang has been in the antique industry for many years, although he is basically cheated and abducted, but he still knows a lot of real antique lovers, which is a great help for him to collect potential.

If nothing else, the potential points are remnants of the Timo era.

"Let's go, we'll go find him now." Wang Shitang closed the heavy information book and put it back on the shelf, got up and stood up.

"Go now?" Li Mian glanced at the time, it was almost ten o'clock.

"Otherwise, when will it be, there is nothing else to do now anyway."

Wang Shitang picked up his things and walked out, Li Mian followed, the two went downstairs and went out, got into the car, and rushed forward along the road as soon as they stepped on the accelerator.

On the way, Li Mourning also knew that the friend Wang Shitang was looking for at this time was a professional who had a deep study of the Dimo era, and this time was just the right time for that friend to identify the authenticity of the small square card.

……

……

Mr. Wang's friend's house was not too far away, nor too close, on the outskirts of Linhai City, and it took about 30 minutes to drive from the old town.

After arriving, when he saw the courtyard of the villa in front of him, Li Mian understood why Wang Shitang's friend lived in the suburbs.

Only cheap land in the suburbs can build such a large villa courtyard, and it is not even thought of in the city.

Although there are villas with courtyards for sale in the city, the price is too high, and the courtyard of a villa of this size is at least four to five times more valuable in the urban area.

"Why did you have time to come to me today?"

Wang Shitang's friend is a middle-aged man with glasses, who looks very bookish, and his name is Yang Yan.

Yang Yan looked at Wang Shitang who walked down from the car and said, "You guy has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let's say, what's the matter with coming to me today?" ”

"What you said, I can't come to see you if it's okay?" Wang Shitang casually closed the car door and introduced him: "This is my nephew, bring him over for a long time." ”

"Uncle Yang is good." Li Mian called him politely.

Yang Yan politely said hello back and welcomed the two into the villa.

The central air conditioning was turned on in the villa, and when you entered, you felt a pleasant coolness, which was in stark contrast to the heat outside.

The decoration style inside is also similar to Wang Shitang's antique shop, which is the type of antique style.

Calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hang on the walls, fine porcelain is placed on the hallway, and the sofa under the seat is made of solid wood that is worth a lot of money at first glance, which is completely different from the most common modern style.

After the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, Yang Yan served them each a cup of herbal tea.

"Here, help me see this." Wang Shitang took out a small square card from his pocket and put it on the coffee table, "This is what my nephew got by accident, I'm a little unsure, you can help me take a look." ”

Yang Yan picked up the small square card casually, looked at it in front of him, and after a glance, his eyes widened suddenly.

"This thing is a remnant of the Timo era!" He made up his mind in one bite.

"Why don't you take a few more looks?" Wang Shitang was a little stunned, "I've only been watching it for a long time, and my ass hasn't been hot." ”

"You've been in the antiques business for more than ten years, and you can't even see this thing." Yang Yan glanced at him with disdain, pointed to the small square card and said, "Look at this color, the lines inside, do they look like capillaries?" ”

Li Mian looked at the fine lines inside the dark red square card, and found that it was indeed quite like a capillary.

Wang Shitang also leaned over to take a closer look, looking at those lines like blood vessels, he suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be that this thing ......," he opened his mouth wide, "is it a weeping blood jade??" ”

"I can still see that it's really hard for you."

Yang Yan said angrily.

Wang Shitang gave a rare embarrassed look.

"What is the Weeping Blood Jade?" Li Mian asked, he had never heard of this kind of jade at all.

"It's this special jade species that is covered with blood-like lines."

Wang Shitang explained for him, "This kind of jade is very rare, because it is an artificial jade processed the day after tomorrow, and only in the Dimo era there was such a technology, and after the end of the Dimo era, this technology disappeared, and it has not been studied until now." ”

Therefore, after Yang Yan saw that this was a weeping blood jade, he was so sure that the small square card was a remnant of the Dimo era.

"There is also the ornamental style above, which is also a unique product of the Dimo era."

Yang Yan's eyes were shining, and for him who was obsessed with the time of Timo, there was nothing more exciting for him than to encounter a real relic.

"Fifty thousand Asian dollars, how about transferring it to me?" He suddenly looked at Li Mian and said loudly.

"You want to be beautiful!" Without waiting for Li Mourning to speak, Wang Shitang refused in one go, snatched back the small square card from the other party's hand, and said unceremoniously.

"The remnants in your collection room that don't know the authenticity are more than this price, and you want to take this remnant for 50,000 Asian dollars, and you want to eat it."

"Just because I can't identify the authenticity of those things in my collection doesn't mean they're fake." Yang Yan argued, "Besides, although this relic is real, but with such a big point, 50,000 Asian dollars is already a very fair price." ”

"I've been in the antiques business for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard that the value of antiques is determined by size."

Wang Shitang looked at him with disdain.

"And how much do you say?" Yang Yan was not embarrassed, and asked directly.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Why don't you grab it!?" Yang Yan almost shouted, "One hundred thousand, no more!" ”

"Four hundred and fifty thousand."

“……”

Li Mian watched the two of them bargain over there, drinking herbal tea by himself, and he was not in a hurry, as if it was not his own.

Small square cards have little effect on him, it is better to use them in exchange for other resources, if there is no cousin, it is difficult for him to maximize the benefits of small square cards alone.

At the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of the value of the relics of the Timo era.
