Chapter 41: Bronze Mirror with Milk Spike Pattern

Xu Qing opened the box.

Eyebrows raised.

He was surprised.

Surprised by Chang Xinran's generosity.

This is a bronze mirror, look at the pulp, or out of the puddle, the mirror body is dark, as if coated with a layer of black paint, but it is a standard bronze mirror naturally formed under the water oxide layer, and the red spot green embroidery in the pit is completely different.

Generally speaking, bronze mirrors preserved in puddles are in better condition, because this dense oxide layer will protect the mirror body from erosion.

This type of mirror is mostly in the south, and it is less common in the north.

What is the price......

Xu Qing took out the bronze mirror and turned it over to look at the back.

The first reaction is exquisite.

The back of the mirror has a very clear ornamentation, in the middle is a raised round button, around two by two distribution of four groups of eight milk nails, around the breast nails is a more abstract curly grass pattern, the outermost is a circle of triangles, the ornamentation is very clear, even the most subtle ornament can be seen at a glance.

Copper mirrors with such clear ornamentation are extremely popular in the market.

Antiques, many times the quality is the most important, the quality is good, it doesn't matter if the other place is a little worse.

But if the condition is not good, it is basically difficult to sell for a lot of money, unless there is a special origin or something.

What's more, this mirror is still from the Han Dynasty.

That's right, it's from the Han Dynasty.

Xu Qing is very sure that others may look away, because this mirror is not a very typical Han mirror, and there are many imitations in later generations, the casting process, materials and even the pulp can be imitated to a certain extent, but the decoration on the mirror body can not be imitated, the unique atmosphere of the Han Dynasty is the only one, no matter how much the later generations imitate, it cannot be exactly the same as the original.

It's like the temperament of the times, as people often say.

This mirror has the imprint of the Han Dynasty.

Everyone is knowledgeable, and when they saw this mirror, they were surprised: "Han mirror? ”

"This is really good."

"Well, the clarity of this pattern is so high, you can see it clearly from several meters away."

"The quality is good, but it's not a Han mirror is still uncertain, this style is more in later generations, especially in the early and middle periods, and the level is quite high."

"No matter which dynasty it is, just for this quality, it is worth seventy or eighty thousand, a lot."

"This mirror is a congratulatory gift, which is really a lot."

“……”

Chang happily listened to everyone's discussions, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xu Qing, this congratulatory gift is not given to you in vain, test you, break the generation, let everyone see your true level, and let everyone see the ability of the stone shopkeeper to adjust the apprentice." ”

When everyone heard this, they instantly focused their eyes on Xu Qing.

At this time, some people already realized that the atmosphere was not quite right, and realized that Chang Xinran seemed to be more like a villain.

But what Chang Xinran said also makes sense, Shi Dahai accepts apprentices and wants to receive congratulatory gifts from everyone, so it is natural to take this opportunity to test and teach Shi Dahai's apprentices' true skills.

Including Shi Dahai, he also looked at Xu Qing and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Qing straightened his waist, exhaled, and said loudly: "Since you are very interested in my true level, you might as well play something big, not only Chang Zong's congratulatory gifts, but you can also do your best to do your own congratulatory gifts, but if I make a mistake in appraisal, today's apprenticeship will be canceled, and my unsuccessful apprentice will automatically disappear from the island city, if all the appraisals are correct......"

At this point, I deliberately pause and observe the reaction of the crowd.

As he expected, everyone really had different faces, and surprise was the expression of most people, Shi Dahai and Zhou Haiqiang were a little anxious, Yu Zechang was expressionless, Chang Xinran and a few people were very happy.

In an instant, he had a number in his heart, and then said: "If all the appraisal results are correct, then how about all of you intersect with my peers in the future?" Of course, each counts his own and has nothing to do with my master. ”

Chang Xinran applauded loudly: "Okay, young people are motivated, dare to challenge so many people at the same time, the courage is commendable!" ”

Zhou Haiqiang whispered: "Qingzi, this matter is not a joke, all the people who come are experts, and there are some strange things in their hands, there will be a lot of things that cannot be identified in every treasure appreciation meeting, you say so, they will definitely take the most difficult to identify and bring out." ”

Xu Qing blinked: "You don't have to show mercy to your subordinates, if I dare to say this, I dare to take the responsibility I bring." ”

Shi Dahai thought for a while, and nodded: "Since the apprenticeship has ended, then Xu Qing's master-apprentice status between me and Xu Qing has been decided, to a certain extent, I can make the decision for him, for his reckless actions, I just want to say, let the horse come over, haha, let you see how powerful my precious apprentice is." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

So arrogant?

I thought that Xu Qing's wild words were young and frivolous.

Unexpectedly, Shi Dahai, an old guy who is like dough, also has such an arrogant and arrogant side.

But they are all acquaintances, and they won't be angry, but they won't just let Shi Dahai's master and apprentice "fly".

Zheng Bin, president of the Island City Collection Association, who has a good relationship with Shi Dahai, said with a smile: "I'll come first, hehehe, I just brought the hand-piercing goods." ”

Everyone was shocked: "President Zheng, won't you bring that thing over again?" ”

Zheng Bin nodded proudly: "As long as I can't identify it for a day, I won't give up for a day, basically I have to take it with me wherever I go, as long as there is someone who understands the identification, let people see it, but unfortunately I haven't been able to give a positive appraisal result so far." ”

Shi Dahai's face changed slightly: "Lao Zheng, there's no need." ”

"Hehe, let the child try, a group of old guys like ours have been studying for several years without a result, even if Xu Qing can't identify it, it doesn't matter, no one will really drive him out of the island city because of this."

"......" Shi Dahai glanced at Zheng Bin deeply and stopped talking.

Zheng Bin's words are good, and there seems to be some truth.

But if Xu Qing really made a big statement and made a fool of himself, even if no one cared, Xu Qing himself couldn't care about it, normal people have shame, and leaving the island city is inevitable.

However, the words had already been spoken, and Shi Dahai had no way to stop him, so he could only say to Xu Qing: "Qingzi, be cautious, don't be ashamed if you lose, it's nothing to leave the island city, the sky is very wide, and you don't have to worry about finding a place to stay wherever you go, but remember that the most valuable quality in a person is to be brave and persistent." ”

This is obviously not optimistic about Xu Qing, and even gave Xu Qing a preventive injection in advance.

At this time, he suddenly stood up: "President Zheng, don't worry, my mirror hasn't been identified yet, it's not too late to let Brother Xiao Xu give me a result and then look at your strange treasure," Speaking of this, he turned his head to Xu Qing and said: "Brother, hurry up, the treasure appreciation conference has become your apprenticeship banquet and appreciation special, so many people play alone with you, don't let everyone down." ”
