Chapter 151. Tip of the iceberg
Chu Yunfei is not an expert in appreciating antiques, but by chance, a few years ago he had formed a deep friendship with a master foundry, and the two of them got along almost intimately for three months, and learned a lot of each other's knowledge from each other. From the process of getting along with that master, he was exposed to it and had a general understanding of the production of gold, silver and bronze ware in the past dynasties. He knew very well that in the Tang Dynasty, gold and silverware was an important handicraft at that time, as far as the craft is concerned, it is mainly divided into two categories: "line work" and "official work", the former refers to the works of folk gold and silver craftsmen, relatively speaking, the requirements for color and type are relatively low, and basically those that can be handed down in the world are considered to be fine products. The "official works" refer to the gold and silver workshops under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu Prison and the Shang Bureau, and most of the items that come out here have extremely high artistic value. Not only that, because the items they made were for the use of the court, and everything was strictly regulated. In the middle and late Tang dynasties, most of the gold and silver utensils and jade items needed by the court came from the newly established Wensi Academy. But there is obviously no logo of the Wensi Academy on it, so it should be a work before the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
With only his understanding of gold and silverware, Chu Yunfei knew very well that the work in front of him was definitely not a folk thing. This is an extremely rare embossed treasure pattern bracelet, and in the center of the bracelet is a lively luan bird. Without hundreds of processes, and the cooperation of several skilled craftsmen, it is absolutely impossible to create such a delicate bracelet, because in the creation of this work, any negligence may cause the bracelet to break, and these are more certain that this bracelet came from the court and is definitely not a contemporary product. Chu Yunfei smacked his tongue again and again, and only after a long time did he sigh and shake his head: "This is really a rare treasure. Who gave you the bracelet? Can I meet him? ”
Du Juan looked at Chu Yunfei in surprise, pointed to the bracelet in disbelief and said, "You won't say...... Is this cheesy thing really something from the Tang Dynasty? Haven't I made a fortune? Are you sure you're right? Or is it ...... These things are just imitations. You also know that nowadays everyone likes to dress up as a celebrity, and if they don't carry a few antique utensils on their bodies, they seem to have lost their identity. Replicating such a bracelet is definitely not a difficult task for them, right? ”
Chu Yunfei shook his head and said to Du Juan again and again: "I will never be mistaken, such a thing is indeed an antiquity, even if people have the heart now, they may not be able to imitate such a delicate thing." Think about it, didn't the ancients say that gold and silver are priceless and jade is priceless? That's what I'm talking about. It's just that I can't quite understand why this thing got into your hands for no apparent reason. Who is the other person? ”
Cuckoo frowned: "Okay, I'll try to think about it, that person is a ...... The young son, probably only twenty-five or sixteen years old, was dressed as a rich son, and his white clothes were very eye-catching. Looking at his speech and demeanor, he is very cultivated. But...... He doesn't seem to have anything particularly noticeable because he's ...... It's very ordinary, and after seeing him, I can't remember what he looks like. The only thing that impressed me was the face, which was very white, transparent, and even looked a little scary. ”
Why does this description sound so familiar? Chu Yunfei's brows furrowed slightly, as if he had heard the same description before. Be...... Su Huan once described the same person, and that person had been keeping an eye on the legendary treasure. You can't go wrong. Chu Yunfei felt that his head was big, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you really convinced?" Will he come over? Can you arrange for me to meet him? I mean...... I just wanted to look at him from afar. ”
The cuckoo frowned again, the request made her a little embarrassed, but she seemed unable to say anything if she refused. Of course, Chu Yunfei knew the doubts in her heart, and she knew that she had never wanted to see her talking and laughing with other men, because that would make her very embarrassed. Thinking of this, he smiled and shook his hand, "Okay, I know your rules here. But the stakes are so high that I have to make such a request to you. When the time comes, you just need to send someone to tell me, and I will never let anyone find out, let alone embarrass you. ”
The cuckoo hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded, but she made her own request: if that person came, he was only allowed to look at him from a distance, and he was never allowed to approach. Otherwise, he would definitely not help Chu Yunfei next time.
When Chu Yunfei rushed to the place arranged by the cuckoo, Su Huan, Ye Huan, and He Ma were already waiting there, and when they saw him coming, the faces of the three of them were equally solemn. Before he could speak, Horma said continuously: "You are here, we are arguing over this matter, do you really think that the case that happened in the palace has something to do with that unreliable treasure?" Why do I feel so unreliable? ”
Su Huan interjected on the side: "Even if it is Gongzi Chu, he may not know all the inside information. Whether it is related or not, those people will enter the palace sooner or later. If you look at what is happening now, I don't think it's a coincidence. The most important thing now is not to see if there is a relationship between them, but to see what they plan to do next. But for the record, I'm only here to see the excitement, and I'm definitely not going to be able to help you. ”
Homer's face was flushed with anxiety, and he glared at Su Huan, "Did you come here to watch the excitement?" Have you ever heard of the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold? If there is no Prince Chu......"
"Hey, hey, why are you getting more excited the more you talk? You should know that you are officials, I am a thief, since ancient times there has been no rivalry, I came here just to do my duty. Don't put such a big hat on me, I can't afford it. Su Huan looked at Homer with a cold face.
Ye Huan obviously enjoyed watching the two people quarrel, he shook his feet a few times leisurely while snorting melon seeds, which looked very funny. It wasn't until he saw Chu Yunfei's preoccupied appearance that he reluctantly clapped his hands and said continuously: "Oh, you two have been fighting for a long time, but is there any result?" Have you ever thought that even if these things seem unrelated on the surface, they don't matter where we can't see them? ”
