As the saying goes, don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparisons. When comparing genuine products with fakes, you can still find something out even if you don't need to listen to the music, just look at the appearance. The luster and manufacturing process of the genuine products are incomparable to those of shoddy fakes.
Than.
Looking at the dejected young man walking out of the yard, Han Kongque could only shake his head.
"You are really a good person, and you gave him a thorough explanation of something that was fake at first glance." Jiang Lin has met too many experts and professors, and has also hired many professional appraisers to go out treasure hunting.
Those people's eyes are often on the top of their heads. After their identification is completed, they will never say anything more.
They believe that saying less is better. They usually only have a few comments, like it's true, but it's not good. It's just these few words. They will never explain to you how it is true or false.
"What are you doing? So many people are carrying things? Why don't you identify them?" Han Kongque looked at Jiang Lin and the others. Although there were some people around them, they didn't bring anything to watch.
But those who gathered around him were all holding things. At this moment, Han Kongque was a little confused.
Jiang Lin was speechless after hearing Han Kongque's question, while a middle-aged woman next to him said: "Uncle Qi just brought another copper bowl. The old man appraised it and said it was worth ten yuan, so there is no
People asked them to identify it.”
"Copper bowl? Ten yuan?" Han Peacock was still confused.
At this time, the old man who sold him the first collection in the morning crowded next to him again: "One hundred yuan, I'll sell it to you."
Han Peacock was also speechless. He really didn't want such a copper bowl!
At this time, he also knew what had happened. The old man must not trust Han Peacock very much. Therefore, although there were two copper bowls, he only sold him one in the morning.
In the afternoon, he saw that there were more people, so he brought another one. He must have wanted to sell it at a high price.
However, the appraiser who appraised the old man definitely didn't want this thing, but he couldn't say clearly that he didn't want it. Otherwise, the subsequent appraisal would be affected, so he casually offered a low price in order to get it.
The old man retreated when he saw the difficulty and got out of his own way.
But if he comes like this, it will be broken. This will definitely make the villagers suspicious. After all, it is a copper bowl. Even if it is sold as scrap copper, it can still be sold for ten or twenty yuan. If you pay ten yuan now, this will definitely
It’s the rhythm of being a profiteer!
Although these villagers do not understand the price of antiques, they do know the price of scrap copper. A copper bowl can be sold for 20 yuan even if sold as scrap copper. If you want to get it after only paying 10 yuan, then what is it but a profiteer?
Therefore, due to the implication of that appraiser, there is now no one in front of Gao Dashan and his group who is looking for them to appraise. Of course, if one comes by occasionally, it will be enough to piss them off.
Because the people who came to them for appraisal in the past, even if they offered a high price to buy it after the appraisal, they would not sell it to him. They would all take their things and queue up at Han Kongque's office.
The reason why I went to them for appraisal was because I had nothing to do and wanted to gain confidence first. Anyway, all their appraisals are free.
When Han Peacock was appraising several bracelets, Shu Weimin received another thing, which was a beaded crown. A beaded crown is a hat decorated with beads.
You may not have much impression of the pearl crown, but you will know it when it comes to the phoenix crown. What is placed on Shu Weimin's table is a phoenix crown, but this phoenix crown is not made of gold and jade, nor is it inlaid with gems, but a phoenix crown.
A phoenix crown made of pearls strung together, so it can also be directly called a pearl crown.
Originally, this beaded crown was given to Gao Dashan, because he was not good at jewelry, so he gave it to Shu Weimin. However, at this time, Shu Weimin was teased several times and was angry, so when he saw the beaded crown,
There was no need to look at it directly.
Who still uses beaded crowns nowadays?
The last batch of people who used beaded crowns to get married date back to sixty or seventy years ago.
A pearl hat has been preserved for at least sixty or seventy years, and it was not preserved properly. The pearls on it have completely turned yellow.
So Shu Weimin just took a casual look and knew that there was no need to repair these pearls.
Therefore, when such a worthless beaded crown fell into Shu Weimin's hands, there was naturally no praise at all.
"The beaded crown is made of pearls strung on top. The pearls have turned yellow and there is no need to repair them. Some gold and silver threads were used on the hat, but not much. Unless it is a phoenix crown from the palace, such a hat has no value at all.
." Shu Weimin dismissed the man with a few words.
Although Han Peacock is appraising the bracelets, these bracelets are either gold and silver or jade and jade. They are folk items and the quality is not very good, but they are genuine.
These things are usually passed down from ancestors, so those people only wanted Han Kongque to appraise them and ask how much they were worth. As for selling them, none of them were for sale.
So Han Peacock's appraisal was very easy. He naturally saw Shu Weimin being teased over there. After Shu Weimin said a few words, he sentenced the beaded crown to death, and Han Peacock was happy.
They also felt bad about Gao Dashan on the other side, but before Gao Dashan could speak, Han Peacock spoke first: "Bring over that beaded crown and show it to me first!"
As soon as Han Kongque finished speaking, Gao Dashan also spoke on the side: "Bring it over and let me take a look!"
The man holding the beaded crown looked at Han Peacock and then at Gao Dashan, and finally handed the beaded crown to Han Peacock. After all, Han Peacock's character was stronger than those old guys.
Han Peacock looked at the beaded crown with a smile. Just by looking at it, he could see that what Shu Weimin said just now is correct. Although it is correct, you can't say that. Isn't it hurtful to say so?
If the heirlooms passed down from ancestors are rendered worthless by you, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
Han Kongque said: "It seems that it has been passed down for many years."
Qian Zhongshu once again acted as the commentator: "This is the eldest son of our family. Even though he is not much younger than me, he has to call me grandpa in terms of seniority."
Han Kongque also came from a rural background, so when Qian Zhongshu mentioned it, he knew why. In the past, the eldest family member was the first to get married, and because the eldest family member gained the most property by dividing the family, the life of the eldest family member was generally better than that of other families.
If these conditions are good, people will naturally get married and have children early. If you run this for several generations, the eldest brother of each generation will marry early, so their family will be passed on very quickly. Therefore, for people of the same age, the children of the eldest family will be younger.
.
Qian Zhongshu continued: "This beaded crown should be an heirloom passed down from our ancestors. It has a history of at least 3,780 years. It is a treasure passed down from generation to generation of our Qian family."
"You are born with a shadow of red makeup. You have a jade face and a beaded crown with square embroidery on the top. Time is not forgiving! Even if you are extremely young, you cannot withstand the erosion of time. Hundreds of years pass by in a blink of an eye, and things will perish even if they are with you."
"Han Peacock looked at this beaded crown and said with emotion.
Several old men in Gao Dashan gathered together and murmured a few words, and they roughly guessed the origin of this phoenix crown.
"Do you know the origin of this beaded crown?" the middle-aged man asked.
Han Kongque said: "The two lines of the poem I just mentioned are the poem "Inscribed on Liu Rushi's Portrait" written by Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty praising Liu Rushi. Although I don't know if the beaded crown he mentioned is this one, but Liu Rushi has one worth a thousand gold.
The beaded crown is for sure.”
"How could Liu Rushi's beaded crown be an heirloom of our family?" Qian Zhongshu said.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Qian Qianyi's children are all recorded, and Liu Rushi's history records that he only had one daughter. This shows that although Lao Qian was not young at that time, he still had the ability to get Liu Rushi pregnant. So, if
Qian Qianyi wants to hide a child, so naturally it is easiest to hide Liu Rushi's child."
Jiang Lin sighed: "Qian Qianyi was already fifty-nine when he married Liu Rushi, right? How can he still have children?"
"Of course, there are historical records for this. When Liu Rushi died, her daughter with Qian Qianyi was already seventeen years old and married, so don't doubt Lao Qian's ability." Han Kongque said.
Hearing two young men teasing their possible ancestor, Qian Zhongshugan coughed a few times.
When Han Peacock saw the money-planting tree, he immediately put away his smile. That was his ancestor. They were teasing his ancestors here. They were not showing too much respect for them.
"Mr. Han, let's talk about this beaded crown first. Why do you think it belongs to Liu Rushi?" Qian Qianyi said.
Han Kongque said: "Liu Rushi has a pearl crown worth a thousand gold, and there are so many pearls strung on this bead crown. In ancient times, it could be said to be worth a thousand gold.
Coupled with the relationship between your Qian family and Qian Qianyi, this beaded crown can only belong to Liu Rushi.
You must know that Qian Qianyi was already very poor in his later years. If he could leave such a beaded crown to future generations, it should be Liu Rushi's.
If Qian Qianyi's house was really ransacked for rebelling against the Qing Dynasty, only Liu Rushi's children could successfully hide here.
His other children cannot be hidden, so for various reasons, you can only hide here if you are the descendants of Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi."
Although they couldn't stand Han Peacock, Gao Dashan and the others could only nod and admit that such a beaded crown filled with pearls was definitely not something ordinary people could afford to wear in ancient times.
"The old expert just said that this beaded crown is ruined and there is no need to repair it. Can the yellow pearls on it still be repaired?" Naturally, this is a family heirloom and cannot be sold, but it can make this beaded crown shine again.
As juniors, they still have to try their best.
Han Kongque said: "Although the color of pearls is very beautiful, very soft and eye-catching, it cannot withstand the test of long time. Pearls that are generally maintained will turn into ordinary yellow after decades and lose their beautiful pearl luster.
This is what is commonly referred to as "old pearls turn yellow".
The main reason for this is that the physical properties of the aragonite mineral that makes up pearls are unstable. Over time, it will turn into ordinary calcite.
Although aragonite and calcite have the same chemical composition of calcium carbonate, their physical crystal forms and luster are quite different. This is the key reason why pearls will change color over time.
However, after a pearl turns slightly yellow, there are some remedies, that is, soaking it in dilute hydrochloric acid can dissolve the yellowed shell and restore the crystal-clear, brilliant and charming color of the pearl.
But if the color of the pearl becomes too serious, it will be difficult to reverse the beautiful luster of the pearl with this treatment. Deep treatment can only destroy the pearl's skin.
Pearl ornaments like this that have been passed down from ancestors and have been stored for more than hundreds of years have turned dull yellow. This is already very serious. If treated deeply, the skin of the pearl will definitely be damaged.
Repairs can only be done to pearls that have turned yellow but are limited to the surface. There is no good way to repair such pearls. In fact, the existence of this bead crown is just a memorial, and repairs and repairs have no effect."
"I really didn't expect that we are actually Liu Rushi's descendants." Qian Zhongshu said quietly.
Han Kongque said: "Liu Rushi is much more famous than Qian Qianyi, and she is also more heroic than Qian Qianyi. Although she is from a lower background, what she does is unparalleled.
Liu Rushi was the first of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai and a famous prostitute in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. She was talented, intelligent and beautiful. She was good at poetry and prose. Although she was in a brothel, she hated the life of being a comedian.
She liked to go her own way, dress up like a man in plain clothes, talk with celebrities, and write poems. Her poems were sad and moving. People at the time called her "Ban Cai, who was so beautiful that she passed through the Six Dynasties and was deeply affectionate."
Her paintings were skillful, simple, elegant and elegant; her calligraphy was also highly praised by later generations, who called her "an iron fist with a silver hook, which once contained the wonderful traces". She dared to love and hate, cut off the piano with a knife, and had a strong personality. She once joined the Anti-Japanese War
The Qing army.
Liu Rushi's life is quite legendary. Her emotions were full of twists and turns. At the age of 23, she married Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party. As a humble geisha, she was married as a wife by the literary leader Qian Qianyi.
, became the wife of Shangshu.
With such a woman as your ancestor, what do you have to sigh about?"
Everyone stared at Han Peacock, who said: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Jiang Lindao: "You are more suitable to be Liu Rushi's descendant. Do you think any of them with the surname Qian has inherited the literary talent of Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi?"
Qian Zhongshu sighed and stood up and said: "We are really ashamed of our ancestors. Mr. Han said it well. We should feel honored to have such an ancestor. Mr. Han, can you say it again what you just said.
I want to write it down and engrave a monument for our ancestor. Let all our descendants see what she did. What she was able to do as a woman, we descendants should do better.
.”
Han Kongque was speechless. But Jiang Lin was quick to say: "I don't think you should take this too seriously. For a talented woman like Liu Rushi, even if I send you a plane, you won't be able to catch up with her."
Liu Ru is a master of chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry. She is also unparalleled in heroism and heroism. Now look at her descendants, who are all timid and depressed. How can they have any of the grace of their ancestors?
Although Jiang Lin has a venomous mouth, his words are enough to spur everyone in the Qian family.
When Han Peacock returned the beaded crown to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man did not accept it: "Mr. Han, that old gentleman just made this beaded crown of our ancestors worthless. I want to know now
, is this beaded crown of our ancestors worth anything?"
Han Peacock took the beaded crown and looked at it carefully: "If you look at this beaded crown alone, its value will not exceed 50,000 yuan. If you add the reputation of your ancestors, it will be worth thousands of gold."
"How much is a thousand gold? Mr. Han, we won't calculate it unless you tell us." The middle-aged man was very stubborn. It seemed that he was very angry with Shu Weimin just now, and now he wants to slap Shu Weimin in the face.
Han Kongque was helpless, but he was still happy to slap those so-called old experts in the face, so he immediately said: "Based on the calculation of one thousand taels of gold, one tael of gold is considered to be thirty-seven grams, which is more than thirty-seven thousand grams."
, calculated at 400 yuan per gram, the value is over 15 million."
Although he knew clearly that this was Han Kongque slapping him in the face, Shu Weimin really couldn't refute it. Is Liu Rushi's phoenix crown worth fifteen million?
It's really hard to say. If this phoenix crown is put up for auction, there will definitely be many people who are willing to pay a high price because of Liu Rushi. Not to mention others, Han Peacock wants this phoenix crown very much.
Although it is impossible for modern people to see this woman Liu Rushi, she is too famous. Any man with some ability would want something from such a woman, right?
"Thank you Mr. Han. Don't leave Mr. Han tonight. I will definitely offer Mr. Han a glass of wine then." The middle-aged man said.
After saying that, he wanted to reach out and take back the beaded crown. Just when Han Peacock stretched out his hand to send the beaded crown away, the beaded crown softened and collapsed on one side.
This situation immediately attracted Han Peacock's attention: "Wait a minute."
Han Peacock took back the beaded crown again: "There seems to be something hidden inside this beaded crown."
"Hidden something?" the middle-aged man closest to Han Peacock and Qian Zhongshu asked in shock at the same time.
Han Kongque said: "You can also touch it. This is actually a hat. It is made to be worn by others, so it should be very soft inside. But now there is obviously a place inside that is very hard. It feels like
Seal or something like that.”
"Let me take a look." The middle-aged man took the phoenix crown and looked at it carefully.
"Is there something?" Qian Zhongshu asked nervously.
Although they now believe that they are descendants of Qian Qianyi, there is no conclusive evidence that they are descendants of Liu Rushi. If Liu Rushi's seal is found in this beaded crown, it will be truly authentic.
evidence of.
As the descendants of Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi, their Qian family is famous. They are the queens of a well-known family.
"It's hidden in the hat. It seems difficult to take it out," the middle-aged man said.
Qian Zhongshu said: "You must take it out. Even if a little bit of the bead crown is damaged, it won't matter. It can always be repaired."
Han Kongque said: "There shouldn't be any need to destroy the beaded crown. Since the things can be put in completely, they should be able to be taken out easily."
"Give it to Mr. Han, let Mr. Han take a look." Qian Zhongshu said immediately.
Seeing the pearl crown falling into Han Kongque's hands again, Gao Dashan, Jiang Lin, Shu Weimin and others all opened their eyes, wanting to see what else they could find.
