Jianbao Gold Finger

Chapter 108 Four-legged Fangding Ding

Looking triumphantly at Zhang Xiaotian and their shopkeeper, after hearing the words of Equation, his face instantly became difficult to look.

"What are you talking about? You want to buy the censer I used to worship Master Guan? Brother, are you here to smash the scene?"

The shopkeeper was obviously starting to get angry, and he exclaimed to the equation angrily,

"You are trying to grab our master Guan's job, are you here to make trouble?"

"I didn't want to make trouble..."

The equation was explained anxiously, but Zhang Xiaotian pulled aside,

"Hey, Cheng Zi, what's your situation? You are going to buy a censer for Guan Gong? Are you kidding? You are really a martial artist, you are not afraid of anything!"

Zhang Xiaotian waved his hand to the shopkeeper apologetically, then put his arm around the shoulder of the equation and asked in a low voice.

"I'm not kidding, did you see that incense burner? It's a treasure, very valuable, but it was taken by the shopkeeper to make offerings to Guan Gong. Obviously, the shopkeeper did not realize this!"

The equation said to Zhang Xiaotian in a barely audible voice. After listening to what the equation said, Zhang Xiaotian's gaze also fell on the small, unremarkable copper incense burner.

"seriously?"

"What did I lie to you for? You still don't believe my vision?"

The equation is very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaotian's doubts about himself,

"No, no, I believe it, of course I do!"

Zhang Xiaotian nodded. The words of the equation are now like imperial edicts to him. He secretly determined to help the equation take down the incense burner, so he turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper.

"The shopkeeper, my friend really didn't come to hit the market. He really likes the incense burner. My friend is an antique idiot, and he just likes copperware. There is no way. You are very stubborn. Give him the palm of the incense burner!"

Zhang Xiaotian began to treat the shopkeeper. Seeing that the shopkeeper was still annoyed, Zhang Xiaotian approached him again and spoke very quietly to him.

"The shopkeeper, you don't know, my friend is a famous stupid man with a lot of money. If he likes anything, he will buy it for three to five times the price of you!"

Sure enough, when it comes to money, the shopkeeper is tempted.

"Really? He can buy three or five times?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the simple appearance of the equation as if he didn't believe it. Is such a person really stupid and rich?

"Of course, the shopkeeper, you just didn't want to understand that when you open a shop to do business, people will come to your door, so there is no reason for you to go abroad! If you do this business, then Master Guan can't protect you!"

Zhang Xiaotian gave the shopkeeper a "ridicule" appearance, as if he was laughing at him pushing the money out.

"This……"

The shopkeeper is obviously already excited,

"That's it, I will take it down and give him a palm to see how much he wants to buy my copper stove!"

The shopkeeper stood on the bench and took down the censer dedicated to Master Guan, and put it in front of the equation.

"Yes, if you like it, take a good look?"

The shopkeeper couldn’t help thinking about it. He bought this small incense burner for 30,000 yuan from a friend who was anxious to spend money. If he could really sell it three to five times, then I also made a small profit!

The equation didn't say any extra nonsense, but carefully looked at this little copper incense burner!

In fact, the censer that was enshrined in front of Lord Guan's niche is not a real censer, but a four-legged square tripod!As a kind of bronze ware, the tripod first appeared in the early Shang Dynasty and flourished during the Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, and Han Dynasties. The original tripod was not made of copper, but a kind of cooking utensils made of clay, and since the appearance of the bronze tripod , It has one more function, and that is an important ritual tool when offering sacrifices to gods!In the Zhou Dynasty, the tripod gradually evolved into a symbol of royal power. After the Qin Dynasty, the symbolic meaning of the tripod's royal power gradually faded. The descendants of the tripod were usually placed in front of the temple hall as a decoration and a vessel for burning incense!

This small four-legged square tripod is about 20 cm high, 15 cm long, and 10 cm wide. It is relatively small among the bronzes of the tripod. It is earthy brown as a whole, and it contains special bronze wares. Gray-green, it looks like an old thing!The shape of the tripod body is simple, with four legs and two ears. The outer sides of the standing ears are curved grooves. The wall is thick. The geometric patterns on the body are simple and simple. The tripod body has no inscriptions!The number of four-legged tripods is much smaller than that of three-legged tripods, and the production is more elaborate than that of three-legged tripods, so people who use four-legged tripods have a higher status than three-legged tripods!However, the surface of this four-legged tripod has clear and thorough decorations, bright copper color and smooth texture. Although there is a little rust on the surface, the equation that understands the metal can be seen at a glance. It is a special rusting process. Artificial imitation!Therefore, based on his own experience, he roughly judged that this four-legged square tripod should be an imitation of the antique bronzes from the Shang and Zhou periods in the Southern Song Dynasty!Although it is an imitation, this tripod still has great collection value, and most of the tripods in the Shang and Zhou dynasties are state-level protected cultural relics, and private private sales are prohibited. Therefore, this kind of antique copperware is used by folk collectors. In my eyes, it is simply a peerless treasure!

Of course, in this case, he would not tell this shopkeeper!

After looking at the tripod carefully, the equation raised his head, pretending to sigh deeply.

"Looking at it this way, this bronze ware is just an imitation, not as perfect as I thought! Alas, tasteless!"

Zhang Xiaotian gave him a white look, and he said that he was this kind of person.

When the shopkeeper saw that the duck was about to fly, he was naturally unhappy!People are like this, they don’t think much before they think about it, but once you give him hope and then let him down, then he will be itchy, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks. This is the case for this shopkeeper. I thought I would have money. In the account, but now you tell him that he is not interested, he is unstoppable disappointment in his heart!But he heard this young man say "chicken ribs" again, that is to say it is tasteless, a pity to abandon it, a pity to abandon it... It sounds like there is still a glimmer of hope, the shopkeeper tried to speak!

"Young man, I started this incense burner from my friend. It cost a hundred thousand yuan. My friend is an antique fan just like you. If he didn't rush the money, he wouldn't give it to me so cheaply! Anyway! It’s an incense burner right by my side. If you like it... then give you the original price and I’ll take it as a pass. It’s an adult beauty!"

What the shopkeeper said was very high-sounding, and the equation was so happy that he got the bait.

"But... Although it looks good, it's just an imitation after all!"

The equation is very wise and faintly speaking,

"You also said that its appearance is very good, and the price is very cheap. In these years, it is hard to buy with money.

The shopkeeper’s further attention,

"I don't understand this thing, but the price is really cheap, Cheng Zi, or you can get it, the shopkeeper will offend the master for you!"

Zhang Xiaotian added some oil at the right time, and the two girls stood aside with their arms folded, smiling at each other and not talking.

"Well, anyway, 100,000 yuan is not expensive, then I will take it!"

After finishing the equation, he took out the card. The shopkeeper saw that the equation was really a stupid boy with a lot of money and he was busy swiping his card.

After the transaction was successful, the equation held back his pride and looked at the shopkeeper stupidly.

"The shopkeeper, now this antique business is not easy to do!"

"It's not easy to do. Now in this circle, there are too many fakes, and the price is extremely low. On the contrary, it is impossible for us who produce genuine products to survive. In the past six months, six antique shops in the market have fallen. This is not two days ago, my shop is diagonally opposite to Lao Xiao and the shop is about to sell! Alas, I can’t do it anymore. It's because Lao Xiao has a filial son who told his father to close the door and go back for retirement, like ours. Those children who still have to go to school can only hold on!"

The shopkeeper’s complaints are endless,

"Diagonally?"

The equation stretched his neck and looked at the door, and he had a number in his heart.

"Sure, the shopkeeper, then do this first, and I'll go to another house again! Keep busy!"

The equation took the "incense burner" he had just started and stepped out of this store.

"I will come back if I want to come back later, regular customers are good to discuss!"

The shopkeeper likes people like equations who are stupid and rich,

"Okay, shopkeeper, you stay!"

Zhang Xiaotian said to the shopkeeper politely!

After leaving the antique shop, I glanced at the "incense burner" in the hands of the equation day and night, and looked at him uncertainly.

"If I'm not mistaken, what you are holding in your hand... is actually a Fangding Ding! A four-legged Fangding Ding from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties?"

"Good eyesight, yes, this is a four-legged square tripod imitated during the Southern Song Dynasty. This thing is a rare thing, rare in the world! One hundred thousand yuan...it's almost the same as the one made by Baiji!"

The equation looked admiringly and admiringly towards the day and night, and at this moment, the day and night, who has always had a weak personality, had a trace of triumph on his face.

The two looked at each other tacitly and smiled, and Su Mengying trembled.

"Day and night..."

She winked and looked around,

"That...well, are we going to the store that the shopkeeper said just now for sale?"

Turn off the topic day and night,

"Sure enough, the two of us have a good understanding and know what I am thinking!"

The equation is a rare joke. He likes to look at Chao Xi's shy and overwhelmed look. It's cute. It's a pity that Chao Xi escaped the ridicule of his girlfriends, but he didn't escape the big pit dug by the equation. Red face!
