"Chang Lao, I've been waiting for you!!" Luo Tian just stepped into the antique shop, and when he saw Chang Lao, he shouted excitedly.
Zhou Bozhai and Chang Lao looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly: "Look at this young man, he is so impatient!!" Luo Tian sat next to the two old men and smiled sheepishly: "Dang Lao, you may not know that since I
I knew that the association organized a study trip to Beijing, but I just missed this trip. I don’t know how uncomfortable it is.”
"Okay, you can make up for it this time. Mr. Huang asked me to bring you a message. In two days, I hope you can go to Beijing to meet him for a while. Here, here is his address and contact number." Mr. Chang wrote the note.
Putting it in Luo Tian's hand: "Luo Tian, you can only go alone on this trip, so be prepared."
In fact, there was nothing to prepare, it was all in my head. Luo Tian chuckled: "Nothing goes wrong." However, two days later, the time was a little too tight, and Luo Tian was a little worried about He Keer. After weighing the two, Luo Tian sighed: "
I'll book a flight ticket right away and rush to Beijing today."
He rushed out the door as if his butt was on fire. Chang Lao sighed: "Young people are still energetic, unlike us who are old and can't run."
Luo Tian booked the flight and immediately called He Ke'er: "Ke'er, are you there? I'm going to Beijing. Do you have time for the evening flight? Let's go out for a meal together?"
"Luo Tian," He Ke'er said hesitantly, "My colleague wants to change my shift with me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to come out."
Luo Tian was filled with disappointment: "Then let's see you back."
He Ke'er, He Ke'er, Luo Tian was a little annoyed. What couldn't he say directly? Even if Chen Xiaoying said some nonsense, why couldn't he say it to himself? He hung up the phone and simply packed his luggage.
He rushed to the airport, and until he got on the plane, he still had a feeling of transcending reality. He closed his eyes, tried to drive out all the distracting thoughts, and meditated silently. This made his heart calm down and his whole body felt relaxed.
Come down.
Stepping onto the land of Beijing, Luo Tian didn't feel any difference. Since we were in the same sky anyway, he didn't bother to book a hotel and took a taxi: "Go to Liulichang."
Liulichang Street is located outside Hepingmen in Beijing. It is a famous cultural street in Beijing. It originated in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most of the candidates who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations lived in this area. Therefore, books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones were sold here.
There are many shops, forming a strong cultural atmosphere. There are many shops selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings here. Most foreigners come here to travel to Beijing.
The antique book industry is the main industry of Liulichang. Liulichang even started out because of books. Without the industry of antique books, Liulichang would not exist. Today, in addition to ancient bookstores, Liulichang also has treasures in the study, antiques and antiques.
Painting shops, as well as modern folk handicrafts, have truly become one of the must-visit attractions in Beijing.
As soon as Luo Tian walked into Liulichang, he saw rows of ancient bookstores, as well as four treasure shops, large and small antique shops... Luo Tian had a feeling of stepping into the wheel of history. This feeling made him
He was very excited, and every cell in his body was mobilized.
A major feature here is that most of the stores have couplets written in front of them, and the couplets also incorporate the content of their own business. This is also a major feature of Liulichang. No, Luo Tian saw an antique store door
There is a couplet written on the front: "The pearls and jade of the third dynasty of the Yao Dynasty, the Yunying of the Six Dynasties."
Luo Tian smiled and stepped in. This antique store is called Yunying. Luo Tian thinks that his store is complete, but this is a store called Yunying. There are all kinds of antiques on the densely packed shelves.
Various antiques, bronzes, jades, ancient wooden furniture, lacquerware, ceramics, etc. Sure enough, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Luo Tian was carrying a mountaineering bag, which only brought two clothes and necessary documents.
He looks like an ordinary foreign tourist.
The clerks in the antique shop were all people-watchers, and they were already experienced in the battlefield. Luo Tian's behavior made them uninterested at all. Luo Tian also regarded them as non-existent and wandered around freely without seeing the things inside.
Few, but there aren't many that Luo Tian likes, no, not yet.
However, the quality of this store is good. Many items are from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. For example, the wooden furniture is mostly made in the early Qing Dynasty. Although it is not made of precious materials such as pineapple and rosewood, it has a relatively complete range.
There are all kinds of furniture, storage and storage furniture, and it is rare to see so many early Qing Dynasty furniture in the same antique store.
Luo Tian continued to look, trying his best to look like a layman. This is a place where students are born, and bullying is inevitable. Luo Tian did not intend to show his strength and trump cards immediately. The guy was not far or close to him, so he kept
At an appropriate distance, whenever Luo Tian stopped in front of a certain antique, the guy's eyes would stop on him. At this time, Luo Tian would move quickly. He knew that once he paid attention to a certain antique,
If the time is too long, you will have to face the salesman's "sales pitch".
The clerk completely gave up on Luo Tian and became his client. At this time, a man walked in from the door and shouted loudly to the clerk: "Xiao Tang!!"
It seemed that he was a regular customer, so the guy named Xiao Tang immediately walked towards the man: "Lao Hu, are you here again?"
"Why don't you welcome customers when they arrive?" Old Hu started wandering around the store with his hands behind his back. Luo Tian found out that this was another jade lover, because he walked around randomly and went directly to that area.
In front of the pile of jade articles, Mao lowered his waist and looked at it carefully.
There were many types of jade in the pile. Old Hu rummaged through it and actually picked out the smallest object. Luo Tian saw that it was a peace buckle. The outer ring of the peace buckle was round, symbolizing the vastness of the world and the chaos;
The inner ring is also round, symbolizing our inner peace and tranquility. The shape of the peace buckle is very similar to the shape of ancient copper coins. It is said that ancient copper coins can ward off evil spirits and ensure peace, but wearing copper coins is not very beautiful, so peace appears in jade.
The buckle is both beautiful and has a good meaning.
After thousands of years of evolution, the shape of the safety buckle has also undergone some changes. In addition to the common flat safety buckle, there are also flat cylindrical safety buckles, threaded safety buckles, gold-inlaid jade safety buckles, etc. The materials are very diverse, including jade.
Made of, amber, crystal, stone.
The safety buckle that Lao Hu held was not big, with a diameter of only three centimeters. This made the safety buckle particularly inconspicuous among the pile of jades. This was not a problem. Luo Tian's problem was that he did not quite understand why the old man had such a buckle.
Hu took a fancy to this safety buckle because it didn't look good and the inner ring was a little rough. If Hu touched it with his hands, he would definitely be able to feel it.
No one with some experience in jade would choose this piece, except of course Luo Tian, because Luo Tian already understood its value.
