When Pei Lao said this, he turned his head and said to Zhang Yuan: "Xiao Zhang, you explain why." ”

Zhang Yuan pursed his lips and said: "The ornaments of the figurines are all representative things, and the mainstream after the Han Dynasty is iron armor, so naturally leather armor will not be used as clothing." ”

"That's right." Pei Lao exclaimed: "It seems that your profession has not been lost." ”

Pei Lao handed the puppet in his hand to Zhao Xuan and said, "This thing is worth hundreds of yuan." If it's not expensive, it's still interesting to buy it back as a knick-knack. ”

Zhao Xuan nodded, and even bargained with the stall owner.

In the end, at a price equivalent to about 300 yuan, I bought the doll back.

This month's salary has just been paid, although because of the bumper of the van, Zhao Xuan's salary was still deducted 10,000 yuan.

Anyway, the rest is not enough to pay off Zhang Yuan's mobile phone money. Zhao Xuan is now a real debt, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

It is still necessary to buy this doll back. With such a reference, it is more reliable than Zhao Xuan's memory, and sooner or later there will be other clues.

Pei Lao seemed to be quite satisfied with Zhang Yuan's performance, and did not continue to ask questions in the following time, but just wandered around the street slowly, picking up some things from time to time to check them.

In the end, except for Zhao Xuan, several other people didn't buy anything.

Soon after returning to the car, others also came back one after another. Some people carry a lot of things, while others are empty-handed.

But it seems that everyone is quite happy.

In the car, Pei Lao explained to everyone the time of tomorrow morning's gathering, and let everyone rest early.

The experts in the car are all sixty or seventy, how can there be anyone who doesn't know the severity, this sentence is mainly for Zhao Xuan and Zhang Yuan.

Zhao Xuan and the two returned to the room, and as soon as Zhao Xuan put down his things, Zhang Yuan asked, "Tell me, what's the matter with that figurine?" ”

Zhao Xuan handed the puppet to Zhang Yuan, put the bag in his hand into the cabinet, and then turned around and said, "The armor and weapons on this puppet are the same as the ones I saw in the illusion of the black dragon last time. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan looked at the puppet with interest and asked, "That illusion is said to be a memory, right?" Remember 2,000 years ago? It's interesting. ”

"That's right." Zhao Xuan shook his head and said, "Isn't this too outrageous? ”

"I can't imagine that you are still a thousand-year-old demon, disrespectful and disrespectful." Zhang Yuan raised his hands and hugged his fists.

"Fuck off." Zhao Xuan asked again: "By the way, are there any countries or tribes in history that regard the image of people as a banner?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Yuan shook his head decisively and said: "From ancient times to the present, there has been no record of using a humanoid pattern as a military flag in the entire history of China. ”

"However, based on your description, I think it should be a different one."

Zhang Yuan shook the puppet in his hand and said, "Chi Youbu." ”

"Chiyou?" Zhao Xuan asked, "Wasn't that earlier?" ”

"Yes, but the Chiyou Department did not perish, after the Yanhuang Department destroyed the Chiyou, the Chiyou part became three parts."

"Some of them were merged into the Yanhuang tribe and became the ancestors of the Chinese tribes, and some of them went south and became the Sanmiao tribe, and they gradually integrated into China after that."

"The remaining part, to the north, became the earliest nomadic tribe in the north." Zhang Yuan pointed to the puppet and said: "If you look at the time, only this part of the people who have not integrated into the Chinese culture can use the humanoid pattern as a flag." ”

Zhao Xuan asked with some surprise: "Is it too hasty to speculate like this?" ”

"It's sloppy." Zhang Yuan threw the doll back to Zhao Xuan, and said angrily: "But why did you give such a little information, what else can you do?" ”

The next morning, Zhao Xuan followed the experts, had breakfast early, and was in the hotel's restaurant, drinking tea and chatting, while waiting for the auction to be displayed.

Although the display didn't start until 10 o'clock in the morning, no one forgot that there was still a suspected "heirloom jade seal" waiting in the lot.

At more than nine o'clock, the entire restaurant was already full, except for Zhao Xuan and his party, everyone else was also looking forward to a certain lot.

Before half past nine, I saw Ferdinand, dressed in a crisp suit, appear in the restaurant.

Ferdinand clapped his hands and shouted, "Everyone. ”

The restaurant fell silent for a moment, and they all turned their heads to look at Ferdinand.

Ferdinand took a few steps forward, waved his hand at everyone, and then said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your enthusiastic support, and on behalf of F&F, I welcome you all here." ”

Ferdinand spoke English, which most people could understand, and if they didn't, they naturally brought an interpreter.

The restaurant burst into applause.

After saying a few words, the waiter with the organic spirit brought the microphone.

Ferdinand took the microphone, coughed twice, tried the tone, and then continued: "In view of everyone's enthusiasm, we have decided to open the display of auction items in advance. ”

"If you are interested in a particular lot, you can also contact our staff. Tonight, we're going to give you the chance to see it up close. But ......" Ferdinand paused and said with a smile, "You have to make an appointment to queue." ”

"Next, please ......" Ferdinand half-turned and waved his hand behind him, and the door to the exhibition hall was slowly pushed open by the staff.

"Enjoy!"

This time the applause was much louder, and some people couldn't help but whistle.

I have to say that Ferdinand's handsome face, very charismatic voice, and enthusiastic speech are indeed very incendiary.

With a bang, everyone in the restaurant got up one after another and rushed towards the exhibition hall.

Fortunately, the staff expected it and arranged manpower in advance to maintain order.

Zhao Xuan and his entourage also followed the crowd into the exhibition hall.

The exhibition hall was not renovated in any way, except for thirty or forty black display stands, each of which was covered with bulletproof glass.

The overhead spotlights have also been repositioned to shine on each lot.

However, the exhibition hall is not small, and suddenly one or two hundred people poured in, and it was not crowded at all.

There were only about 20 lots in the previous lot information, and it seems that F&F has raised some more cultural relics in order to enrich the auction.

Pei Lao naturally led everyone to the position of the "Jade Seal of the Country".

There were also a few people standing next to the jade seal of the country, but more people surrounded the scepter of the principality of Kievan Rus', obviously, there were more Westerners who came this time.

The length and width of the jade seal are about ten centimeters, and the seal button in the upper part is five dragons, with teeth and claws entrenched together, with different shapes.

The seal at the bottom is a finger-thick square, and the bottom corner is wrapped in a gold and jade pattern.

The whole seal is emerald green and there is no trace of impurities. Under the illumination of the spotlights, it is crystal warm and dazzling.

But the experts, when they saw the seal, sighed in unison.

"Let's go, look at something else." Elder Pei let out a sigh of relief and turned to observe the other cultural relics.

The other experts shook their heads and left.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xuan didn't see anything wrong, pulled Zhang Yuan over and asked, "What do you see?" ”

Zhang Yuan also sighed and asked, "What do you think of this seal?" ”

"Okay." Zhao Xuan nodded and said, "I have never seen such a beautiful jade carving. ”

"That's the problem with the word 'good.'" Zhang Yuan pointed to the jade seal in the cabinet and said, "The material, carving, and design are all high-quality products. Judging from the pulp, it is at least a few hundred years old. ”

"But." Zhang Yuan sneered: "This is especially jadeite." ”

"Emerald?" Zhao Xuan said curiously: "Isn't that a good jade?" ”

"Jade is a good jade, but there is no such thing as jade in the Qin Dynasty." Zhang Yuan spread his hands and asked rhetorically: "The sword of this dynasty, beheading the officials of the previous dynasty?" ”

Zhao Xuan glanced at the seal again, nodded, and understood.

Regardless of whether the heirloom jade seal is made of He's bi or not, at least it can be determined that 100% of it is not made of jadeite.

"Fakes?" Zhao Xuan asked in a low voice.

"It can't be said to be a fake." Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "It seems that this seal is also hundreds of years old, but it is not the 'heirloom jade seal' we said." ”

Zhao Xuan asked curiously, "Then how much is this thing worth?" ”

Since it is an auction, it is natural to inquire about the price.

Zhang Yuan pursed his lips and said, "It's hard to say. Tens of millions are still needed, and if there is a record in history, hundreds of millions are not impossible. ”

"So expensive?" Zhao Xuan, who had never seen so much money, was taken aback.

"When it is this piece of jade, it has to be worth tens of millions, hundreds of years of cultural relics, there is no problem in doubling it a few times." Zhang Yuan added: "Of course, you have to be sure that it is the real Gu Yu. ”

Zhao Xuan and the two left the booth of the jade seal of the country as they spoke.

There were also a lot of Asian faces around the booth, pointing at the jade seal, and I don't know if it was true or not.

However, Zhao Xuan has no obligation to remind others.

In addition to this specious heirloom jade seal, there are seven or eight other cultural relics from the Song and Yuan dynasties, all of which are fine products of various periods.

There is even a porcelain vase from the Song Dynasty kiln, but because the vessel is too small, it was determined by Zhang Yuan that the price is not as good as the jade jade seal.

Zhao Xuan regarded this place as a museum, browsed casually, and then asked Zhang Yuan when these things were and how much they were worth.

There is a free docent next to it, so you don't have to use it in vain.

Zhang Yuan pouted and reluctantly explained to Zhao Xuan.

When he finished explaining the row of exhibits in the direction of Asia, Zhang Yuan was not happy.

"Master is going back to sleep!" Zhang Yuan said angrily: "Your uncle, do you really treat me as a tour guide?" ”

Zhao Xuan looked at the other rows of European auction items and asked thoughtfully: "You can't be a European thing, don't you understand?" ”

"Say what?" Zhang Yuan was unhappy: "The master has learned from the past and the present, and the art is both Chinese and Western, and there are still things I don't understand?" ”

"Oh, okay, let's go." Zhao Xuan waved his hand and said, "It seems that you really don't understand." ”

"When did the master say a big thing?" Zhang Yuan grabbed Zhao Xuan, who was about to go out, and said, "Let's go, take you to see and learn." ”

"Forget it, I'm afraid you'll be ugly." Zhao Xuan still went out of the gate.

"Hey, don't believe me." Zhang Yuan chased after him as he spoke, but he didn't mean to stop Zhao Xuan at all.

Although they were nominally members of the mission, they had other tasks on their part. Therefore, there is no need to follow the collective action of the delegation.

It's just that until now, they don't know what the purpose of the mission is.

After entering the room, Zhao Xuan asked, "You say, could it be that there is something abnormal in the auction item?" ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." Is there an anomaly, Ferdinand wouldn't know? Anomalies are a scarce resource all over the world, so I won't be kind enough to give them to you. ”
