Chapter 317 The Jade Bi of the Warring States Period
Chapter 317 Warring States Jade Bi
Li Yang frowned and thought for a while before nodding in agreement. This little girl really studied hard. Li Yang had some experience in ancient jade. If he had the chance, he could tell her some.
After Li Yang agreed, the little girl immediately followed Li Yang out of the store happily. She was really familiar with the little girl from Panjiayuan. Having a guide following her would also save Li Yang a lot of time.
This little girl was very talkative and kept chattering when she went out. From her mouth, Li Yang learned that the girl's name was Niu Ling. She was only seventeen years old this year. She stopped studying after her sophomore year of high school last year and ran to
His father came to the store to help.
This girl has no desire to learn, but is very interested in antiques and other things, especially ancient jades. Her father, Boss Niu, has no choice but to follow her temper and do what she wants to do.
Fortunately, studying ancient jade is not a bad thing. Even if she fails, she can still take over her father's class in the future. At least this little girl is very proficient in jade.
The Jade Street is not long, and it didn’t take long to reach the Antique Street. In fact, the Jade Street and the Antique Street are connected, separated by a small street, forming a crossroads.
This small street is full of antiques. The little girl Niu Ling was leading Li Yang forward when she suddenly walked towards a corner.
At the corner of the wall between the two streets, there was a young man in his twenties wrapping a pile of things in a sheet and placing them there. From a distance, they looked like some jade-colored things. After the little girl Niu Ling ran over,
, Li Yang and Liu Gang also followed.
After getting closer, Li Yang discovered that these were Ping'an buckles all over the place. There were all kinds of them, most of them were green, but they were all ordinary jade, and they were very mixed. There were Nanyang jade, Hetian jade, and ordinary jade.
of jade.
The sizes of these Ping An buckles are also different, and the styles are even more diverse. Li Yang glanced at them. There are not many fake jade ones, but their value is not high, but they can put together so many different Ping An jade buckles.
It’s not easy at all.
Niu Ling liked jade and ran over immediately after seeing the pile of safety buckles. After running there, she remembered that her main job was to take Li Yang out to see things, and she immediately stood up again.
After turning back, Niu Ling discovered that Li Yang had also followed. The little girl was standing there very nervous, with her head lowered, as if she had made a mistake.
“These safety buckles are great!”
Li Yang smiled and shook his head. He squatted down first. The safety buckles in front of him were very complicated, but some of them were old things, but they were not very valuable. They were either from the Republic of China or the Qing Dynasty.
"You are so young, can you still see the good and bad of these things?"
The young man selling the safety buckle actually curled his lips and smiled, his eyes still full of disbelief. As soon as he said this, before Li Yang could say anything, the little girl Niu Ling had already jumped up and shouted angrily:
"What are you looking at? How do you know that young people can't see clearly? Do you know who he is? He is..."
"Niu Ling!"
Li Yang hurriedly interrupted, and the little girl immediately stopped talking. If Li Yang hadn't interrupted her, I'm afraid the little girl would have revealed Li Yang's identity. Li Yang wanted to come here to keep a low profile, not to look around.
Promote yourself.
The young man looked at Niu Ling, then at Li Yang, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "I don't care who you are, just take a look if you want. Let me know if you like it. The price of each piece
They’re all different!”
"Your items are different, and there's nothing wrong with the different prices. But how did you get so many different safety buckles?"
Li Yang nodded and asked casually. There were at least hundreds of these safety buckles in front of him. They were piled together like a small jade mountain. Even a store specializing in ancient jade did not have so many safety buckles like this.
"Actually, these are not mine, but my aunt's. My aunt was sick. I heard people said that sleeping on a mat made of jade would be good for her illness, so I started collecting safety buckles like this everywhere. I received the safety buckle.
, but she gave up and returned home before she could use them. My uncle was very sad and no longer wanted these things, so he asked me to help them get rid of them!"
The young man explained, and both Li Yang and Niu Ling nodded. Niu Ling's shop also had safe buckles, but they were definitely not so exaggerated, and they had never thought of using safe buckles to weave jade mats. I have to say that their family's thoughts
It's really special.
"Lingling, if you like something, just pick a few. The things here are pretty good!"
Li Yang smiled and said to Niu Ling, there are indeed some good Ping An buckles here. Li Yang just saw a better Ping An buckle from the Qing Dynasty. If you sell it in an antique shop, it will at least be good.
Sell it for one or two thousand yuan.
Li Yang did this with the intention of testing the little girl to see how well this seventeen-year-old girl knows about jade.
"Okay, ***, can you watch it for me?"
The little girl is not stupid. When Li Yang said this, her eyes immediately lit up. She nodded in agreement and immediately immersed herself in the ground to choose, and she chose very seriously.
The young man selling things looked at them with great interest and moved his eyes furtively.
The little girl fiddled with the pile of safety buttons in front of her. Li Yang's brows suddenly frowned. Among the pile of safety buttons, there was an inconspicuous safety button that caught Li Yang's attention.
This is a piece of Ping'an buckle with the Ping'an pattern of dice. The so-called dice pattern is actually an orderly arrangement of dots carved out on the device. This type of jade was more common after the Ming Dynasty. Ping'an buckles like this are modern
There are quite a few.
The reason why this safety buckle gives Li Yang a different feeling is that its hole is very small. Safety buckles are worn on the body. Generally, the holes are large and are more comfortable to wear. The holes of this safety buckle are only about the size of a soybean.
, and the entire jade has a dull color, the color is a bit yellow, and it looks mottled, which is very inconspicuous.
This kind of dull color is not unfamiliar to Li Yang. When he was in Hong Kong, he received a piece of jade like this. It is an ancient jade passed down from the Ming Dynasty to this day. However, because it was left aside for a long time and no one played with it, the color was extremely dark.
Only then did Li Yang pick up a small leak at a low price.
Li Yang quietly stretched out his special ability, and Li Yang was stunned again.
This small piece of jade actually has five layers of deep yellow apertures. Judging from the age of the apertures, the light yellow is within a thousand years, the orange yellow is within two thousand years, and the dark yellow is already two thousand years later.
Already.
The five layers of dark yellow halo are at least 2,300 years old. Judging from the time, this jade should be from the Warring States Period.
Li Yang suddenly realized, what kind of safety buckle was this? It was obviously a piece of jade from the Warring States Period, just a little bit smaller.
Bi is an important jade article in ancient times, many of which are used as ritual objects. It is an important item worn by dignitaries or buried with them.
During the Warring States Period, there was a famous story called "The Complete Jade Returns to Zhao", which tells the story of Lin Xiangru's clever retrieval of the He's Bi, which is the most famous jade in Chinese history.
This small jade can't be compared with He's jade, but it is indeed something from the Warring States Period.
At this time, the little girl Niu Ling had found four good safety buckles and pushed them in front of the young man.
Li Yang shifted his attention from the jade to the Ping'an buckle that Niu Ling selected. This Warring States jade is very good, but it is not well preserved and its value is not particularly high accordingly. It is placed on the market.
It has a market value of about 300,000 yuan. To the current Li Yang, 300,000 yuan is really nothing.
So Li Yang was just surprised, but didn't particularly care. Of course, it would be nice to pick up this leak.
That year, my relatives looked at the four safety buckles that Niu Ling had selected, rolled their eyes again, and said with a smile: "This one is five hundred, this one is three hundred and sixty, this one is four hundred, this one is the cheapest
, just give me two hundred and eighty, the total is one thousand five hundred and two, if you give me a round number, I will get one thousand and five!"
"One thousand and five!"
Niu Ling was stunned for a moment, and shouted anxiously: "Why don't you go and grab it? Are these things of yours worth a thousand and a half?"
Li Yang also looked at this young man in surprise. These four pieces of safety buckles are all very good. One piece is from the Qing Dynasty, but they have no special features. They are really not worth that much together, but a thousand yuan is still worth it.
.
The young man didn't care at all, and asked with a smile: "Don't say that. If I can steal it, I will stay here and set up a stall. So tell me, how much can you give me?"
"Five hundred, I'll give you five hundred at most!"
Niu Ling rolled her eyes angrily. After all, she was too young. After being offered a high price by this young man, the counter-offer was lower. According to her initial thoughts, she could only pay one hundred yuan each.
"Five hundred is no good, one thousand fourteen, what do you think?"
"Six hundred, no more!"
Niu Ling shook her head again, and the young man rolled his eyes again, and then said: "One thousand three hundred and five!"
"No, at most six hundred and fifty, I don't want any more. Let me tell you, don't try to deceive me just because I'm young. My family has a jade shop here!"
Niu Ling shook her head repeatedly, even revealing her identity, just to tell the young man that she was an expert, stop making false offers, and do a good job in doing this business.
"Hey, don't pull me down, please do it!"
Unexpectedly, the result was beyond the little girl Niu Ling's expectation. The young man took out a box without caring and put all the four safety buckles that Niu Ling picked out into it. Li Yang noticed that there were already two pieces in it.
About ten pieces of safety buckles, all in good condition.
"You, you are cheating!"
Niu Ling had never encountered such a situation. This person actually said that he would not sell it if he did not want to sell it. He also put away the safe buckle that she picked out, which made her who wanted to show off in front of Li Yang very angry.
It was unbearable. The little girl's eye circles were already red, and the crystal water droplets were spinning in her eye sockets, almost falling down.
"Why am I lying? I'm not satisfied with the price you're offering and I'm not willing to sell it. Are you still trying to force me to buy it?"
The young man replied very rudely. Li Yang was also in a daze at this time. After he put the thing away, Li Yang finally understood what was going on.
This young man is very shrewd. He sets up a stall in this inconspicuous corner of the street not really wanting to sell anything, but he wants experts to help him pick out good products. He doesn't really want to sell these things.
He didn't know which of these safe jade buttons were good and which was bad. It would cost a lot of money to have someone identify them, so he simply took these things and set up a stall here.
He doesn't understand, but there are people who understand, and there are many people in Panjiayuan who understand. As for those who really understand, they have to show it. This young man is very good at reading people, and he saw that Niu Ling knew a little bit, so he let Niu Ling choose.
Finally, put away the things you picked out.
Seeing that there were some safety buckles in the box, I guess Niu Ling was not the first person to be deceived by the young man. Someone had already acted as an appraiser in the police department and selected some good safety buckles for the young man.
If this is the case, even if these safety buckles are really worth one thousand and fifty, he will not sell them. He will find other reasons to shirk them. His purpose is not to really sell things, but to let people help him find the corresponding good ones.
If you click on the safe button, the higher the bid, the less likely it will be sold.
Li Yang figured this out, but Niu Ling didn't understand yet and was arguing with the young man there.
"Lingling, stop fighting, there's nothing you can do if they don't sell you!"
Li Yang suddenly said something, flipped through the pile of safety buckles in front of him, and deliberately picked out a few very poor safety buckles.
"Young man, stop pretending. I understand your intention. It's okay to help you pick out the good ones, but you can't let us work here empty-handed, right? How about this, you are the poor and bad things
I'll pick some and buy them. We run a jade shop, so putting some in the shop will help prop up the store. What do you think?"
Li Yang looked at the young man and said slowly. The young man hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, you can choose!"
Li Yang casually picked up four or five poor-performing safety buckles. They were either missing a corner or were badly polished. Niu Ling looked at Li Yang blankly, wondering why Li Yang picked these ones that he usually threw in front of her.
Things that I won’t pick up.
Li Yang picked a total of eight, placed them in front of the young man, and then said: "How about these, they cost ten yuan each, eighty yuan is just right!"
"No, the minimum price is thirty for one, and these are also jade buttons!"
The young man immediately shook his head. This time, he didn't open his mouth as much as a lion. The few safety buckles in front of him were really ugly. It would be good to sell them. At least he didn't sell the stall today in vain. It would be good to earn travel expenses back home.
"Thirty is too high. You also know that we are opening a shop and also doing takeout. Let's do it this way, fifteen for one. What do you think?"
Li Yang shook his head. The young man hesitated and shook his head again: "Twenty-five, no more!"
"Twenty, you have to let us earn a little bit. In this way, I will add the two difference to make up the whole number, two hundred yuan, okay?"
Li Yang said with a smile, and pulled out two very poor Ping An buckles, including the small piece of jade from the Warring States Period. The performance of this jade was indeed very poor, similar to those unsightly Ping An buckles.
"Okay, two hundred is two hundred!"
The young man finally nodded, and Li Yang also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to take out the Warring States jade first because he was afraid that the young man would regret it. During the bargaining process, Li Yang had discovered that he really wanted to sell it.
