Chapter 5: Goodbye Bronze

I clearly remember that the inside of the bronze coffin in our hands was engraved with a mysterious tortoise pattern, but I don't know if there is one of them.

Since bronzes are generally afraid of oxidation, this bronze is placed in a glass case by the shopkeeper. I stood on tiptoe and looked over to the bronze opening.

Probably noticing that I was looking closely, the shopkeeper stood up and said, "How's it going?" Let's take a look at the good stuff! Look at this bronze cup, how authentic! ”

I knew he had made a mistake and had made this bronze cup a bronze cup, but I said quietly, "Well, it's pretty good." Can I take a look? ”

The shopkeeper looked me up and down, "Yo, this is our treasure, do you have the heart to buy it?" ”

I smiled slightly, "What?" Can't watch it if you don't buy it? ”

"That's right," the shopkeeper patted the glass cover, "this thing should be moved as little as possible, and when you touch it when you turn around, it will affect its appearance if it oxidizes so badly." I'll spend half a day trying to take it out for you, if you don't buy it, don't toss me to play! ”

I sneered in my heart, this shopkeeper is quite arrogant, so I plan to beat him. I nodded, "You still care." I'll tell you what I think, this thing is good, it's just the same......" Speaking of which, I deliberately lengthened the appetite of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper frowned, "How?" ”

I moved closer to him and said, "This thing smells too dirty!" Did you come from the south? ”

When the shopkeeper heard my words, he was stunned for a moment, and the disdain in his eyes just now disappeared in an instant, replaced by a shock in his eyes. In fact, the sentence I just said is not particularly sure, almost a guess. But looking at the look in his eyes, I guess I guessed right. The shopkeeper stood for a moment before he spoke: "I didn't expect the little brother to be a craftsman!" ”

I waved my hand, opened my mouth and just wanted to speak, when suddenly a person flashed in at the door, "Old Sui!" The account has been transferred to you, let's clear the two! Old Sui? Old Sui? What about people? ”

As he spoke, this man walked inside, and when he saw the two of us standing there, he said, "Hey, you are ...... here," and in the middle of speaking, he suddenly raised his eyes and saw me, and immediately arched his hand and shouted, "Brother Zhuo Ran! ”

I also looked at this person, it turned out to be an acquaintance, it was the neighbor of the Lantern Festival Dongding Pavilion - Lang Beile! I arched my hand, too, "Lang Belle, long time no see!" ”

Lang Belle laughed, "Yes, yes, I went out to load the goods these days, and I just came back!" ”

When the shopkeeper saw me talking to Lang Baylor, he was also a little confused, "You know each other! ”

Lang Beile nodded, "Old Sui, you don't recognize my brother, do you treat him as an ordinary customer?" ”

Looking at Lao Sui's blank expression, Lang Beile said, "Old Sui, let me introduce you, this is Brother Zhuoran, don't look at my brother as young," he said as he gestured his thumb and said in a low voice, "People are serious descendants of Faqiu!" ”

Lao Sui suddenly nodded again and again, and came up to hold my hand, "I see, little brother Zhuoran, I was so offended just now, I really can't recognize a master with no eyes!" ”

I was a little embarrassed to be by him like this, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's Lang Baylor who lifted me!" ”

Lang Belle looked at me and said, "Hey, Brother Zhuoran, what are you doing here?" ”

"It's okay," I said, glancing at the bronze in the glass cover, "I'm just strolling around." ”

Lao Sui came to his senses at this time, "Oh, by the way, Brother Zhuo Ran, don't you want to see this?" I'll get it for you now. So saying, he took off the glass cover, took out the bronze canopy, and put it into my hand.

I checked the things in my hand and said to Lao Sui: "I'm not wearing gloves, aren't you afraid of being oxidized?" ”

Lao Sui smiled and patted the white gloves he was holding in his hand, "That's all for those laymen, we don't need this set ourselves!" He waved his hand, "Come, let's sit down and watch and talk!" ”

The three of us sat down at the table, Lao Sui poured us a cup of tea, I took this bronze and looked back and forth, it felt very similar to the one that Anado's father found in the mountains, I took out my mobile phone and turned on the flash, and shone it inside the bronze coffin, and sure enough, I saw some small lines on the inner wall, although I couldn't see all of them, but just from this part I saw, I was able to conclude that the pattern in it was the same as that of Anado's father. It seems that nine times out of ten, this bronze is also from Guangxi.

Lang Beile and Lao Sui looked at my tossing, full of doubts, Lang Beile opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Zhuoran, what are you looking at?" ”

Lao Sui then asked, "Is there any way to this thing?" ”

Of course, I couldn't tell him about the symbols, so I laid the bronze slab on the table and said, "Ah, so, I've seen something like this one before." However, I still congratulate Boss Sui! ”

Hearing my words, Lao Sui was stunned, "Brother Zhuoran, what do you say?" How happy am I? ”

I said to Lao Sui: "How much do you charge for this thing?" ”

Lao Sui hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to make a count, and I nodded, "Then you earned it!" ”

"Oh?" When Lao Sui heard me say this, he immediately frowned, "Why? ”

I pointed to the bronze bin on the table and said, "You just called this thing Qingtong Jue, but it's actually wrong, this thing should be called the bronze tree." ”

"Bronze?" Lang Beile and Lao Sui looked at each other, after all, Lao Sui specializes in bronzes, and he still has more research in this area, so he thought for a while and said, "I know, it doesn't seem like this, right?" ”

I remember that when I saw this thing at Anado's house, Lantern Xiao also raised such a question, so I told Lao Sui about Wenmo's explanation, and he nodded again and again, with admiration on his face. I said to Lao Sui: "This bronze is supposed to be from the Xia Dynasty or even earlier, so the price is definitely not comparable to the bronze jue, I'm afraid it will more than double." I couldn't close my mouth when I heard it.

With a hint of smugness, Lang Belle said, "How's it going?" My brother is amazing! The descendants of Faqiu are not covered! ”

Lao Sui nodded again and again, "Brother Zhuoran, if there are any good things in the future, don't think about the small shop, I will definitely collect it at a high price!" ”

I took a sip of tea absentmindedly, "It's easy to say!" ”

Lang Belle opened his mouth and asked, "I said Lao Sui, where did you receive such a good thing?" "Actually, this is a question I've always wanted to know, but I've never been embarrassed to ask. Unexpectedly, Lang Beile asked for me, and I also turned my head to look at Lao Sui, hoping to know his answer.

Lao Sui knocked lightly on the table. "It's just a matter of a few days!" Speaking of which, he didn't go any further. But seeing that Lambele and I didn't speak, and kept looking at him, he sighed, "Hey, it's actually nothing special, but since both of you are interested, it's okay to talk about it." ”

Lao Sui thought for a moment and continued: "About a week ago, two people came to my shop and asked me if I would accept antiques. This kind of thing is also known to Lord Belle, in the Panjiayuan for three days, people will come in and ask you if you will accept antiques, there are basically no good things, and there are many liars. So I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. But when they took it out, I knew it wasn't ordinary! ”

Lang Belle smiled, "It's really fake, people don't say it, you still think it's a jue cup!" ”

Old Sui blushed, "No, no, I'm not saying that I see something unusual, I'm saying that I noticed that this thing is handled in an unusual way." ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" I was a little curious, and Lambele looked at him with interest. Lao Sui continued: "Generally, if it is a fake antique, most of them will be old, and they will even deliberately make some earthy smell, so as to lie that it is a cloud dug up in their own field. However, this one is quite the opposite. Speaking of which, I've been in this industry for many years, especially bronzes. ”

Lang Belle nodded, "Yes, yes, if you know you Niu X, don't brag about X, hurry up and talk down!" ”

"Okay, good," Lao Sui took a sip of tea and pointed to the bronze bin on the table, "I have already sorted out this thing, it may not be obvious, in fact, when I first came, there were a lot of polished marks on it, and those two people said that it was a family heirloom treasure, and they often wiped it." But in my experience over the years, he's not here to clean, it's to cover up. ”

Langbel asked, "Cover up what?" ”

Lao Sui tapped the table and said, "Tuqin! So, I knew that this thing had just been baked, and it was still hot, and these two people must be in a hurry to use money to take the risk of using it in such a way, so I took this opportunity to suppress the price fiercely! ”

Lang Belle glanced at him and smiled, "Old fox!" "Lao Sui doesn't mind, the relationship between the two should be very familiar.

After listening to this, I nodded, and the thought in my heart became even stronger, could this thing really have something to do with what happened to us in Guangxi this time? And the timing is right.

I said to Lao Sui: "Do you have any impression of these two people? ”

Lao Sui lowered his head and recalled: "I only remember that these two people are tall and thin, short and fat......"

I couldn't help but smile dumbly, "Boss Sui, have you met the tall and short head of Shenlong Island?" It's useless for you to say anything, let's be specific. ”

Lao Sui thought for a moment, and then said: "The specific thing is that these two people all have Sichuan accents."

"Sichuan??" Now when I think of Sichuan, and it is close to the inverted bucket, the first thing that pops up in my mind is two words: Tan family!

I looked up at Lao Sui's store, and sure enough, I found two surveillance cameras in the corner of the roof, so I said, "Boss Sui, can I trouble you?" ”
