Chapter 166: Bronze Tortoise Shell

"Hello, distinguished guest, is there anything we can do for you?" The store manager is a woman in her thirties, and her makeup is a bit heavy, but she looks pretty good, especially with a more elegant temperament.

Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm not an arrogant and unreasonable person, if they didn't want to bully me just now, I wouldn't have taught them a lesson." ”

"Yes, guest." The store manager nodded, but he couldn't help but be instinctively afraid.

Seeing her like this, Ye Chaoyang couldn't say anything, and after taking Shen Xinting to buy a few sets of clothes, he paid the money and left.

When he arrived at the residential building, Ye Chaoyang said: "Xinting, wait a minute, if my mother asks you what happened today, do you know what you can say and what you can't?" ”

"Cousin means to say, don't you say those in the mall?" Shen Xinting looked up at him.

Ye Chaoyang nodded and said, "Yes, don't let your aunt worry." ”

"I understand, I won't say it if I don't report good news or bad news." Shen Xinting said.

"yes, that's it."

Ye Chaoyang touched her head with a smile, this girl is really sensible, "Let's go, let's go up." ”

"Okay."

Carrying things back home, Shen Biqiong saw the two and said with a smile: "Xinting, are you having fun?" ”

"It's fun." Shen Xinting nodded and said.

Shen Biqiong nodded, "That's good, come, sit down and rest." ”

"Hmm."

"Mom, I still have something to do, so I'll go out first." Ye Chaoyang shook his phone and said with a smile.

Shen Biqiong said: "Go ahead, be careful on the road, and pay attention to safety." ”

"Okay Mom."

As soon as he went downstairs, Uncle Liu walked back from outside, saw Ye Chaoyang, and immediately said with a smile: "Chaoyang, I heard that you opened an antique shop in the antique street, is it true?" ”

"There's such a thing, what's wrong Uncle Liu?" Ye Chaoyang nodded with a smile and said.

Uncle Liu immediately looked happy, handed the thing wrapped in oilskin paper in his hand to Ye Chaoyang, and said with a smile: "That's great, you can open an antique shop, you must be an expert in treasure appreciation, you can show me, how about this thing?" ”

"Oh, Uncle Liu is also Taobao?" Ye Chaoyang was a little surprised, took the things he handed over, and asked with a smile.

Uncle Liu smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Where is the Taobao, that is, the owner of the repair shop has a happy event today, let us get off work a little early, and a colleague of mine dragged me to the nearby antique street for a while." ”

"I saw that this thing seemed to look very good, and the price was not expensive, so I couldn't help but buy it."

"Well, I'll take a look." Ye Chaoyang smiled and tore open the oilskin paper, only to see that there was a rusty bronze object inside, arched on one side and flat on the other, which looked like an oval bun, but there was a opening, which seemed to be able to decorate something and be used as a container.

But it looks a little rough.

Uncle Liu said expectantly: "The shopkeeper told me that this thing was received by him in a scholarly family in other places, and there was a champion in the family, saying that it might be a holy relic given by the emperor. ”

"It's specially used for drinking, do you think it's true?"

"Well." Ye Chaoyang glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "The holy thing can't be talked about, and the thing is indeed an old thing." ”

"Something shouldn't be a gift, and it's not very valuable."

"And what is this?" Uncle Liu asked curiously.

Ye Chaoyang said: "Uncle, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a bronze tortoise shell." ”

"Tortoiseshell?" Uncle Liu was a little confused, and it was made of bronze? "What's the use of making something like this out of bronze?"

"In ancient times, tortoise shells were most likely used for divination. The advantage of making something like bronze may be that it is more durable than using real tortoiseshell. ”

Ye Chaoyang smiled and said: "And after all, it is artificially created, and there are more artifacts that can be carried out on it than real tortoise shells." ”

"Look at these places, they are images of gossip, representing Qiankun Zhenxun and so on. If it were a tortoise shell, it would not be possible to carve such an image. ”

"That's right." Uncle Liu heard what he said, and couldn't help but nod and say.

As the common people of China, it can be said that almost no one has not heard of gossip, even if a few old ladies whisper, it can be called gossip.

It can be seen how widely the word gossip has spread among the Chinese people.

Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "It is generally impossible for the emperor to give the tortoise shell of the champion Lang. But it's hard to say whether this is a scholar's thing or not. ”

"It must be a fortune teller's thing, right?" Uncle Liu said.

Ye Chaoyang nodded, shook his head again and said, "Ancient scholars are different from current readers. In ancient times, the six arts of gentlemen were emphasized, among which Zhou Yi was the cultural knowledge that was basically involved. ”

Therefore, the ancient Confucian scholars were more or less knowledgeable about divination. So it's hard to say, it may or may not be something for the reader. ”

"Is this thing worth much?" Uncle Liu glanced at him in surprise, it turned out that ancient scholars still knew divination, and he thought it was all the kind in the TV series, either he was tempted by the fox fairy and hooked up, or he was caught up in the mountain and became the lady of the village!

Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "This thing is relatively rough in production, I'm afraid it is something from the Qing Dynasty, and if it is worth about three or five thousand." ”

"Then I'll earn it too!" Uncle Liu said happily: "When I bought it, it only cost more than two hundred!" ”

"Chaoyang, are you free now? Come with me and sell it, and I'll give you half of your hard work when the time comes. ”

"If Uncle Liu wants to sell it, just sell it to me directly." Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "I'll give four thousand." ”

"That's right, you originally opened an antique shop, so it's the best thing to sell to you." Uncle Liu smiled happily and said, "Then I'll sell it to you!" ”

"Uncle Liu, don't you ask about the price?" Ye Chaoyang asked with a smile.

"Hey, if I can't even believe you, what am I going to show you something?" Uncle Liu shook his head with a smile and waved his hand and said, "What price you say, it's what price." ”

"I believe in you."

"Okay, that's it." Ye Chaoyang transferred him 4,000 yuan.

Uncle Liu's face was excited, this was comparable to his month's salary, and his face couldn't help but turn a little red. "Chaoyang, that boss still has a good thing there, I like it when I look at it, maybe it's a baby."

"But the price is a bit high, tens of thousands of dollars, I didn't dare to buy it. Whether you are free or not now, we will go over together. ”

"If it's really a good thing, you can just give me a fare, how about it?"

"Then how can it be done, if it's really a good thing, we'll split the account fifty-fifty!" Ye Chaoyang said with a smile. "Let's go, get in my car."
