"Gu Qing, what kind of good thing is it?" He Qing asked.
When Gu Qing asked him to help identify things, he was surprised at what he, a layman, could identify. However, he immediately realized that he was not a newcomer in Gu Qing's eyes, but an expert at the level.
"It's not that good anymore. It's just a few old things. I don't know what they are like." Gu Qingqiao smiled sweetly and replied, "You happened to be here, so you can help me take a look, so I can put it on the stall."
I feel quite confident when I go there.”
"Well, let's take a look first and then talk." He Qing nodded and agreed. In that case, he had to bite the bullet and go ahead.
Gu Qing immediately picked up a big bag from behind the stall and took out several antiques, placing them one by one on the stall for He Qing to inspect.
When Gu Qing took out a disk-shaped object, He Qing's eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but whisper in secret: "There is red light! It should be a good thing!"
A closer look revealed that it seemed to be a mirror, but it was a rusty copper mirror. It was vaguely emitting a chaotic red light. Because the red aura was too weak, it was not very clear at first glance, so
He Qing didn't notice it at all when the thing was hidden in the bag just now.
However, since it emits aura, that thing has a certain collection value, and you can gain insight into its origins by watching the video records.
Soon, the ball of light condensed in front of He Qing's eyes, and traces of red light quickly poured into his eyes.
In the scenes that flashed in his eyes, He Qing discovered that the bronze mirror was once in the hands of a Taoist priest who traveled around the world, and later fell into the home of a large family. However, a fire burned the huge and luxurious old house to the ground, and someone jumped from the ashes.
The mirror was dug out of the house, and just like that, the things flowed into the flea market and became antiques. However, after leaving that house, the mirror was no longer treasured by anyone, perhaps because no one saw its potential value.
Bar.
"This mirror has some background." After reading it, He Qing secretly made a judgment.
As for the other antiques, they were all trivial objects and did not emit aura. He Qing could not identify them, so he did not consider them. At this moment, his attention was only fixed on the very old bronze mirror.
"He Qing, how are you? Didn't you see anything more valuable?" Gu Qing suddenly said with a smile, "I kicked these things here, and they didn't cost much in total. An old friend, he wants to stop.
He didn’t want to do this business anymore, so he packed up the things he collected and gave them to me, haha, they’re all very cheap.”
"That's not bad." He Qing nodded and said, "Yes, they are all old people, so you will definitely not suffer."
"How should we price each piece?" Gu Qing asked. During the questioning, she picked up a small porcelain pot and said, "He Qing, how much do you think this snuff bottle can be sold for? My favorite
This one is more exquisitely made, probably from the late Qing Dynasty."
"It's hard to say. A few thousand maybe." He Qing replied based on his feeling. He had only heard of snuff bottles and knew that they were containers for holding snuff, but he didn't know anything about the identification of sports snuff bottles.
To give a price, we can only make a random estimate.
"I think so." Gu Qing said happily, "It would be great if it could be sold for several thousand dollars. These items together only cost a few thousand yuan. I paid them on credit. I only paid my friend after I sold them.
money."
"It should be about the same. It's a good thing." He Qing said seriously. After that, he pointed to the bronze mirror that emitted red light and said, "Gu Qing, take a look at that bronze mirror."
"Look." Gu Qing picked up the bronze mirror without thinking, handed it to He Qing, and said, "This bronze mirror is too rusty. I'm afraid it won't be sold. This kind of thing looks good.
I can only give it away to others. Sigh, business is hard to do now, customers are so picky, it’s really not easy to sell something.”
He Qing took the mirror and turned it over and over to observe it carefully. Although the mirror surface was thick with patina, almost covering most of the area, but by recording the image, He Qing knew the initial rough outline of the mirror. After some pondering, he vaguely understood
He seemed to have thought of something.
"Gu Qing, you said this mirror is not valuable? You can only give it to someone else?" After a while, He Qing raised his head and said with a meaningful smile, "How about you sell it to me. I'll give you one.
Ten thousand dollars.”
"Ten thousand yuan?! He Qing, you want this mirror?! How can I ask you for so much money?!" After hearing what he said, Gu Qing's face suddenly turned red and he said in surprise, "As long as you like it
, given to you for free, no money from you!"
He Qing shook his head and said: "Gu Qing, I'm joking with you, don't get excited first. But it's not that I don't want to give up 10,000 yuan, but I don't want to take advantage of you. We are friends. You asked me to appraise it for you."
Something, then I have to tell the truth. In my opinion, this mirror has a lot of history!"
"Ah?! Really?!" Gu Qing said in surprise, "He Qing, what do you mean? What's the origin of this mirror?"
She looked eager and couldn't wait to know the answer.
Just listen to He Qing say in a deep voice: "Gu Qing, go back and clean up the patina in some parts of this mirror, and then find an expert to take a look. Then go to 'Jianbao Zhai' to find Uncle Long. I believe he knows about this mirror."
Its true value. This thing is probably used by Taoist priests, masters in doing rituals and observing Feng Shui."
He explained casually. In the image, he did see that the mirror was used by a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest couldn't put it down and regarded it as a treasure.
"Taoist supplies?" Gu Qing asked in surprise, "He Qing, you mean this is a magic weapon? Is it a Feng Shui magic weapon? If it is an old magic weapon, in addition to its own collection value, there are also
There is another level of value. Some special magical instruments are very expensive, and the older they get, the more valuable they become!”
"Antique magic weapon?!" Hearing this, He Qing's pupils shrank. His words inspired Gu Qing, and Gu Qing seemed to wake him up. Although he didn't understand magic weapons in real life, he liked to see them.
Novels such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and supernatural novels often involve a lot of things about rituals and Feng Shui. For a Taoist priest, the more powerful the magic weapon in his hand, the easier it is to suppress evil spirits.
Although it is just a novel and the story is fictitious, in real life, mages still exist. They do things and look at Feng Shui. There has always been this custom. In some places, some people even believe in it. Anyway, this thing is very mysterious. You may believe it or not.
No.
There are magical artifacts circulating in the antique market. This is normal when you think about it, but I don’t know how the value of magical artifacts is calculated.
"He Qing, you are so amazing, you can see the trick right away!" Gu Qing said with surprise and joy, "If I hadn't asked you to help me with my eyesight, I might have given this mirror away in a daze.
Give it to someone else."
He Qing smiled slightly and said: "It's not clear yet whether it is a magic weapon. Even if it is a magic weapon, whether it is worth money or not is still a question."
Gu Qing said: "It doesn't matter. I'll ask someone to take a look. He knows about magic weapons."
He Qing then handed the mirror back to her, and she turned around and walked away, presumably to find someone for appraisal.
"Gu Qing——" He Qing grabbed her arm and whispered, "You have to calm down, don't lose money!"
Gu Qing nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, I know. I didn't sell it, so I asked Uncle Liu to take a look. He sets up a stall there."
"Oh, then go ahead." He Qing let go of her hand and said, "I'll help you look after the stall."
Gu Qing shook his head and said: "No need, there is nothing valuable. There are people around to help take care of it. Everyone is used to it. If you leave for a while, the people around you will help you keep an eye on it, so you can take care of each other. You can come too."
"
"Okay." He Qing followed Gu Qing to an antique stall not far away. The stall was run by an old man. The old man wore a pair of reading glasses and looked honest and courteous.
"Uncle Liu, help me look at this bronze mirror to see what type of mirror it is." After walking over, Gu Qing said bluntly and handed the mirror to the old gentleman.
"Oh, let me take a look." Uncle Liu pursed his lips and said. He took a magnifying glass and looked at it for a long time. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just raised his face and looked at Gu Qing, and then at He Qing. There was something in his eyes.
Thoughts.
"Uncle Six, how are you? What kind of bronze mirror is it?" Gu Qing asked.
Uncle Liu held the glasses frame and said, "Xiao Qing, does this mirror belong to this little brother?"
Gu Qing glanced at He Qing, nodded and said, "Yes. Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"
Uncle Liu immediately stood up and said to He Qing with a smile: "Brother, look at the patina of this mirror. It's so thick and dirty. I don't know where you dug it out. But I think it's a bit interesting.
, are you planning to sell it? Give it to me and I’ll give you eight hundred yuan. How about it?"
"Eight hundred yuan?!" He Qing muttered secretly, thinking that this old man can't take advantage of others because of his appearance. He only paid 800 yuan for such a promising bronze mirror. This is a waste of money.
A beggar?
"Uncle Liu, you misunderstood." He Qing said with a straight face, "We are not here to sell anything, we just want to ask you to help us palm our eyes. Well, I understand, thank you."
Before Uncle Liu could react, He Qing reached for the bronze mirror, pulled Gu Qing, and left the place quickly.
