I nodded thoughtfully, and on the cloth stall, there were blue and white bowls, Song porcelain bottles, sharp-spouted cups, clay pots, a few rusty copper coins, several calligraphy and paintings, and a bunch of copper coins with mud, scattered randomly on the cloth stall. When my eyes swept over the copper coins, my brow furrowed, and there were a few of the piles of copper coins on the cloth stall that shimmered with strange light, dark gold, purple gold, gray...... Very mottled.

What's going on? A flash of shock flashed in my eyes, and after glancing at the vendor, I picked up a sword and looked at it, but it didn't reflect the strange color in my brain.

At this time, Huang Yuan gently patted me on the shoulder, picked up the inconspicuous sharp-spouted cup casually, and said in a low voice: "Brother, ten swords and nine fakes." ”

I let go and put down the ancient sword, picked up the clay pot and looked at it again, there was still no strange color, but the sharp-spouted cup in Huang Yuan's hand emitted a faint gray light.

This is what people often call jewelry? It seemed that something was wrong, and I couldn't help but think to myself, and at this time, a lot of information about treasure appreciation appeared in my brain.

The vendor kept looking at me with glowing eyes, and when he saw Huang Yuan pat him, he knew that Huang Yuan was really an insider, and he was not easy to bluff, so he had to cough and tell Huang Yuan that the sharp-spouted cup was dug in a certain pit.

And I took advantage of the time for the two of them to bargain, put down the earthen pot, picked up a copper coin at random, put it in my hand, and blew it to my ears like blowing the ocean.

A subtle smile flashed at the corner of my mouth, put down the dull copper coin just now, rummaged in the pile of copper coins for a while, and found a copper coin printed with the words "Kaiyuan Tongbao" from the pile of copper coins.

But soon, my brows couldn't help frowning, as far as I know, like the money in my hand, there are a lot of people circulating, most of them are left over from the Qing Dynasty, and during the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the Shunzhi Kangxi Yongzheng Qianlong four periods of currency was relatively stable, to the Jiaqing Emperor period, the market has begun to be chaotic, and the copper coins made after that do not have much collection value.

However, what puzzles me is that this copper coin is literally purple and gold in the sun, but the back is a dark gold streamer, the combination of the two rays has a range as large as a ping pong ball, the color is distinct, after flipping one side, it is literally dark gold, and the back is purple gold.

"Is it the relationship of sunshine?"

After I looked at the copper coins again, I looked for something on the cloth stall, and soon, I took out a second identical copper coin on the cloth stall and spread it in the palm of my hand, stacked it with the copper coin just now, and the purple gold light emitted by the two copper coins actually disappeared!

"Huh?"

I couldn't help but rub my eyes, the light did disappear, I felt strange I turned the copper coin on it upside down, so that the words of the two copper coins were facing upward, an incredible scene appeared, the purple gold light that disappeared, reappeared, and, more dazzling than the light just now, the range was also larger, like a circular gossip, the left side showed purple gold, the right side showed dark gold, embedded with each other, very mysterious.

"This ......"

I secretly tongued, curious, and then from a pile of copper coins found a copper coin printed with Kangxi Tongbao and added it, but what I didn't expect was that not only the purple gold light disappeared, but even the dark gold was completely erased, and the reverse side of the three copper coins was combined, but the light was mottled, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

"These two copper coins...... This is not clear money, but Tang money, after Gao Dezu abolished the five-baht money, the knife coin, the copper money issued, the real Kaiyuan Tongbao! Hearing this, my hand couldn't help shaking, my eyes glanced at the vendor and Huang Yuan, and found that the two of them did not find the abnormality on his side, and I was secretly happy in my heart, and the inexplicable Feng Shui Sutra in my brain was really a good thing, with it, a new door was opening to me.

After a period of fantasy in my brain, I returned to reality and swept over the two copper coins in my hand, the front of these two copper coins was printed with 'Kaiyuan Tongbao' on the back but it was oily, slightly covered with cyan copper scale, there was a crescent-shaped imprint, I couldn't help but be stunned, although I graduated from architecture, I also have a certain understanding of history, the crescent shape on the back of the copper coin in my hand is the traces left by Wu Zetian's fingers, Li Shimin loved Wu Zetian, and did not replace the coinage mold, so the Kaiyuan Tongbao with crescent marks was called' 'Wuhou money', 'Tianbao money' and 'crescent moon money'.

Because Wu Zetian is the only female emperor, the feng shui master strings the two crescent moon coins together with red threads, called yin and yang coins, which are worn with him, and have the effects of driving away evil spirits, towning houses, collecting wealth, and praying for blessings.

The first time I came to pick up the leak, I met such a good thing, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Xiao Long, what are you laughing at, have you found a good baby?"

"Brother Huang, look at these copper coins, what do you think?" After I searched the stall a few times, I found a few more Kangxi Tongbao, so I mixed the two crescent moon coins into it, made a coin toss, handed it to Huang Yuan at random, and secretly observed the expressions of Huang Yuan and the vendor.

Huang Yuan saw that I threw over a few coins, took them, and then after plucking the copper coins with his fingers a few times, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Except for these two Kangxi Tongbao that are in better condition, which are still antiques, the others can be lost." ”

"It seems that others can't detect the jewels that emanate from the treasures." I thought to myself.

"Brother, you can't say that," the vendor saw that Huang Yuan had devalued his antiques worthless, and his face was dissatisfied, he saw that Huang Yuan was an expert, and seeing that I was a layman, this kind of person's money is the best to make, just flicker a few words, maybe a few thousand yuan will be in hand, but now Huang Yuan saw through it, and couldn't help but feel a little painful, so he simply sold it, "Do you know, these things of mine, they are all dug out of the soil, the more useless you feel, the higher the value will be......"

"Come on, you can fool others with this set, I don't collect a lot of ancient coins," Huang Yuan interrupted the vendor's words, picked up a copper coin and spread it out, "Take this Kangxi Tongbao as an example, even if it is genuine, but you see, there are Manchurian characters written on the back, and there are many workshops that imitate money in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, and they are not worth it at all." ”

"Kangxi Tongbao is not worth anything, what is worth?" The little vendor was dismissed, and his face was a little unbearable, "I see that you didn't come to buy it with intention, but to play with treasures, while playing." ”

"Hey, you kid is not convinced, right, I'll tell you, the most valuable thing about this Kangxi Tongbao is the Ganzhi Fu money, the back money, the Luohan sleeve money, and the Daguang money, but in general, the price does not exceed five thousand, this Kangxi Tongbao is worth dozens of yuan, and then look at these two ancient coins, what is on the back, the imitation is so rough, it is really ......" Huang Yuan cushioned a few copper coins in his hand, and he was about to throw them back.

I coughed softly, grabbed the copper coin, showed embarrassment, lowered my voice slightly, and said: "Brother Huang, it's not easy for everyone to do business, you better talk to him about how to sell this sharp-spouted cup, this copper coin, just as a gift, anyway, it's not worth a few dollars." ”

The vendor pricked up his ears, just listened to what I said, and secretly rejoiced, "Two little brothers, this sharp-spouted cup and these copper coins only need 1,500 yuan, and you can take them." ”

"You can do business, 1,400 yuan, don't do any more, if it weren't for my brother's unique vision for these coppers, I would give 1,003 at most." Huang Yuan reluctantly took out the money to make a deal with the small vendor, and after carefully putting away the sharp-spouted cup, he casually threw the copper coin into my hand, and at the same time glanced at me, sighing slightly, meaning that he should spend money to buy some experience.

The small vendor counted the money happily, and Huang Yuan and I just walked on the front foot, and he closed the stall on the back foot, muttering as he walked: "What two idiots, if it weren't for those coppers, how could I sell a broken cup at such a high price, today, I'm rich!" ”

……

Huang Yuan and I just walked out of the alley, Huang Yuan's face suddenly disappeared, he patted me on the shoulder, and couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Long, don't blame me for looking at you with that kind of look just now, I did it on purpose, tsk, I got rich, do you know, the sharp-spouted cup I bought, shaped like a crane, is a cup used for sacrificial drinking in the Tang Dynasty, although the mouth of the pot is a little broken, but it is worth tens of thousands, hahaha!" ”

Huang Yuan's words changed, and he said: "That peddler thinks you are a layman, got a few worthless copper coins, bundled and sold them to me, it's really funny, let's go, let's go to the Xianghe antique store opposite, sell this thing, if it sells for tens of thousands of yuan, I will share a few thousand of you, hehe, make a fortune together." ”

I smiled helplessly, spread my hands, and left two of the most inconspicuous copper coins, and threw the other few large copper coins into the underground waters.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why did you throw it away, sparrows are also meat, dozens of dollars, and money. As soon as Huang Yuan rolled up his sleeves, he was about to go fishing, and I quickly stopped him.

"Brother Huang, don't make a profit, those copper coins are imitations of the people, and dozens of dollars are not worth it, by the way, does this antique store have a red line to sell?"

"Yes, but what are you looking for the red line?" Huang Yuan was stunned.

"Isn't it common sense that the red line pierces the money hole?" This time, it was my turn to be surprised.

"Common sense?" Huang Yuan scratched his head, and then smiled, "That's the habit of the ancients, using a rope to string hundreds or thousands of copper coins together, in order to prevent the loss of one by one, so later it was called string money, you just two broken copper, and you still need the red line?" ”
