Regarding Zheng Taihua's words, Gao Shaoyu was surprised at first and then naturally overjoyed. The value of antiques with provenance will be doubled, which is beneficial and harmless to him.
"It's amazing that there is such a rumor." Gao Shaoyu played with it for a while, and finally shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Manager Zheng, I really can't see it."
"It's normal that you can't tell." Zheng Taihua smiled faintly and took out a convex mirror the size of a fingernail from the side and handed it to him. "Use this."
"Ah!" Gao Shaoyu smiled bitterly. Why did he forget to use tools? He picked up the convex mirror and looked at the Buddha's head again. This time he was determined to check. Naturally, he looked at it in detail and quickly discovered the problem. It was on the Buddha's head.
The green color of Yijiao is indeed very rich, rich and firm, exuding a historical sediment that cannot be resolved, like jelly. The green color penetrates into it, and it seems that it has been in it for nearly two thousand years.
Hey!
Gao Shaoyu suddenly found a small seal in the corner. Fortunately, after studying the characters of the past dynasties, he could tell that it was the character "Dou". The strokes were very fine and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Fortunately, he had the help of equipment.
Gao Shaoyu was so excited that he couldn't believe it. Two thousand years ago, how could anyone have such an ingenious ability to carve the word "Dou" so clearly for thirteen repeated strokes.
"Could it be the Ma family?" Gao Shaoyu suddenly remembered a name. No wonder he would think of it, because the Ma family was highly praised by Bai Lao and others. Thinking of everyone's expressions at the time, he knew how terrifying the background of that surname was, and he couldn't help but
Just thought of it.
"Yes, it's the Ma family." Zheng Taihua's expression became more solemn for a moment, and he nodded.
"Manager Zheng, what exactly does the Ma family represent? It's surprising that the seniors in the antique world treat it with such caution." Gao Shaoyu scratched his head and was a little confused, and humbly asked for advice.
"The Ma family is synonymous with the pinnacle level of our country's antique art. No one knows whether he is a person or a title. Since the name Ma family was discovered in the late Qing Dynasty, it immediately attracted the attention of predecessors of all generations."
"In history, there have been several turmoils in the antique world, all related to the Ma family. Almost all the collections have been taken out, and after rounds of extensive appraisals, the mark of the Ma family will always appear.
.”
"The years when the Ma family appeared were pushed back to the early Ming Dynasty, the middle Yuan Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and even the Sui Dynasty."
"With the appearance of this Buddha head, it seems that now we have to take a step forward. The Ma family's works appeared in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, spanning hundreds of years of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Jin Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop.
This is a discovery that shocked the antique world." Zheng Taihua's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of excitement.
"I originally thought it was just an ordinary ancient blessed jade, but I didn't expect such a big discovery." Gao Shaoyu scratched his head and said in shock.
"Xiao Gao, you should be happy. The Ma family's carving is the only exquisite technology that has been recorded and passed down in history. As long as ordinary items are related to the Ma family, their value will immediately increase a hundred times. Haha, don't think that the Ma family has many works.
I have only seen less than twenty pieces in all these years." Zheng Taihua said with a smile.
"Ah." Gao Shaoyu was obviously shocked. His three-legged golden toad and the Buddha head in front of him were both works of the Ma family, as well as the red sandalwood and dark wood pendant that Li Jian got.
I only saw three of them, so no wonder I didn’t find them unusual.
"Now you know how lucky you are." Zheng Taihua said with a smile.
Gao Shaoyu had a wry smile on his face and nodded repeatedly. It was also because Mr. Fei was a big collector, so all the things in his house were old and there were no fakes, so there were two Ma family works at once.
It also makes them cheaper.
I just don’t know if the group who came in advance also got the Ma family’s works, which is quite a pity when I think about it.
"Xiao Gao, you keep playing with my convex mirror, are you attracted to it?" Zheng Taihua said with a smile.
"Hey, this thing is pretty good. It's much clearer than a magnifying glass. It's like a high-power microscope, but much lighter." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile, and he really fell in love with it.
"Then I'll give it to you." Zheng Taihua nodded, then took out a box and a small bottle of liquid and said, "Remember, after each use, add a drop and let it dry naturally."
"Okay." Gao Shaoyu nodded repeatedly, and first tried to put a drop of it on the convex mirror the size of a fingernail. In just a few seconds, it became extremely clear, looking very transparent and bright, with no trace at all.
It's much stronger than the lenses in your eyes.
"This Buddha head must be well preserved. There will be an antiques conference in Dongyang in the circle for exchanges in a while. When the time comes, it will be taken out and illuminated. The effect will definitely be very good. During this time, I will also look for the entire Fu character as soon as possible.
I hope the other parts can be completed." Zheng Taihua's eyes lit up, as if he saw Bao Renxuan showing off again.
"Why don't you put the Buddha's head in Baoren Xuan, and ask Manager Zheng to help take care of it." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile.
"You little naughty boy." Zheng Taihua smiled and nodded, but looking at Gao Shaoyu who hesitated to speak, he couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion: "Is there something wrong?"
"Manager Zheng, can you give me my three-legged golden toad and some ancient coins?" Gao Shaoyu scratched his head and said sheepishly.
"What? Are you short of money recently?" Zheng Taihua asked confused.
"We are very short of money." Gao Shaoyu nodded heavily.
"The three-legged golden toad cannot be sold, but those ancient coin shops will exchange it for you for ten thousand yuan. How about it? Is it enough?" Zheng Taihua asked with a smile.
"Not enough." Gao Shaoyu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"How much money are you short of, and you want to sell the three-legged golden toad? Don't you know its value?" Zheng Taihua's face changed slightly, showing a look of surprise, as if he couldn't figure out why the young Gao Shaoyu needed money urgently.
place.
"A sister of mine is currently short of money for business. I saw that she was very anxious, so I wanted to help her. She needed about 300,000 yuan, so I wanted to sell the three-legged golden toad." Gao Shaoyu gritted his teeth and said truthfully.
"Let's do this. The rules of the store cannot be changed casually. You write an IOU and use the three-legged golden toad as collateral. I will give you 300,000 yuan. After the three-legged golden toad is sold, I will return the 300,000 yuan to the store.
." Zheng Taihua thought for a while and came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Isn't it inappropriate for Manager Zheng to do this?" Gao Shaoyu scratched his head and was moved, a little embarrassed and said, I'm afraid if it had been someone else, he would have taken the opportunity to catch the attention of the three-legged golden toad, deliberately lower the price, and get it from Gao Shaoyu.
Bought it.
"You are an employee of the store, and you are valued by Mr. Ouyang. Since I welcomed you into the store, I naturally believe in your character. Besides, your treasures are all in the store. What should I be afraid of?" Zheng Taihua asked Gao Shaoyu in order to
Feeling better, I jokingly pointed at the Buddha's head and the three-legged golden toad on the shelf.
