Fat Liu, who was following Old Man Ji, said at this time: "Xiao Han, don't hide it. We have been neighbors for almost ten years. Who doesn't know who is who? If it is really a good thing, as long as you make it clear, Brother Liu will
If you bleed once, no matter how much money you have, I will take it."
"That's right, Brother Han! Anyway, Xiao Chen will also be hanging out on our street from now on. Since he lost the treasure, he will know about it sooner or later. Why don't you tell us about those two books now?" Old Man Ji
Regardless of Chen Qian's ugly face, he made the matter clear.
Fat Liu also kept provoking more and more, asking Han Kongque to talk to them so that they could gain more knowledge.
Usually, no matter how busy they are with business, they are still willing to chat with Han Peacock when he has nothing to do, because Han Peacock will talk about his views on antiques and identification methods from time to time.
Especially the items on their stalls, Han Kongque will comment on them when he is interested, which makes them all feel enlightened. Even because of this, they have really made a lot of money over the years.
Korean Peacock obviously got something good this time, why don't they feel itchy?
But what they did this time was too outrageous, right?
No matter how Han Kongque looked at it, it was abnormal. They usually had a pretty good relationship, but what they did now made him offend Chen Qian to death.
"Xiao Han, we have read the two books written by Uncle Chen, and we haven't seen anything interesting. Are they really ancient books from the Northern Wei Dynasty as he said? If so, you don't have to worry about saying it. If it's true,
In this way, although Uncle Chen has lost his treasure, he can still have a chance to make up for it," Fatty Liu said.
Han Kongque glanced at him. Although this boy was not very clever, he still had a lot of cleverness.
Just seeing Han Kongque's performance, he actually thought of this. There is no fool who can hang around in the antique shop for a long time.
Han Kongque glanced at Chen Qian again and found that he was indeed not too sad or angry. This showed that he also wanted to know the origin of the two books just now. This made Han Kongque also curious. Could he still receive such a message?
baby?
"Brother Han, those two books are not really from the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, are they? If they are, you can send them, but these Song editions are worth gold, so those from the Southern and Northern Dynasties should not be cheap, right?"
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a saying that "a page of Song editions is worth one tael". The value of Song editions of ancient books is self-evident.
Fat Liu stared hard at the two ancient books in Han Peacock's hands and said, "You know, one page of Song edition is worth one tael of gold!"
The "base price" of each page of the Song edition is at least 10,000 yuan. I am afraid that a volume of this ancient book with more than 300 pages will cost at least one million yuan.
Fat Liu didn't pay much attention to the Han family tree. Even if it was inherited from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was still a family tree and had little value.
But that "Medical Strategy" is different. If it is really an ancient book from more than a thousand years ago, it should be very valuable. It may be more expensive than the Song version. Although the Song version is more expensive due to various factors, it is only a matter of time.
, can make the price of books in the Eastern Han Dynasty sky high.
Fat Liu asked: "There are more than 300 sheets in this book, right? How much does it cost? It should be at least 3 million, right? Each sheet is worth at least 10,000 yuan! Why didn't I buy it before?"
There is a golden house in the book, and the ancients will not deceive me."
Fat Liu's eyes were almost red with jealousy, but he didn't have that kind of background, so naturally he was blind and couldn't recognize treasures.
Han Kongque frowned and said: "It's not that expensive. The Song version of the book is different from the books of other dynasties. The longer the history, the more expensive the ancient book."
"Why are Song editions of books so precious?" Fat Liu said with a smile.
Old Man Ji said: "The main reason is that the Song version of the book is not widely circulated and is extremely rare. In addition, the content of the books printed in the Song Dynasty is close to the ancient version, the printing is exquisite, and the decoration is exquisite, so there is a saying that a page of the Song version is worth one or two gold."
"Yeah, because it's not widely circulated, it's extremely rare, it's close to an ancient book, it's beautifully printed, and it's elegantly decorated."
Fat Liu turned his head and glanced at Han Peacock seriously before speaking again: "We have all read this "Medical Strategy" before. It is definitely not widely circulated. It is not an exaggeration to say it is extremely rare. It is even more close to the ancient version.
Needless to say, it is an ancient book.
Although it is not printed, no one can say that Zhang Zhi's block letters of the Eastern Han Dynasty were not good, and no one has any objection to the exquisiteness.
As for the decoration, the paper of ancient books written more than 1,500 years ago is still so white and flawless. It is really unreasonable to use the word "sophisticated" to describe it."
Fat Liu analyzed it one by one, as if the book belonged to him, and it was about the impassioned one.
"So it's valuable? Thank you Brother Liu for clarifying my doubts. I'm going home. I haven't eaten in the morning and I'm already hungry." Han Kongque was really not in the mood to chat with them today, so he simply said perfunctorily.
"No! You haven't told us yet, how can this book remain intact for more than a thousand years?" Fat Liu didn't want to let Han Kongque go.
Old Man Ji also said: "I treat you to dinner today as payment for your tuition. Just tell us the secrets of this ancient book."
When Han Kongque first got this book, he didn't expect it to be handwritten by Zhang Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He just thought it was copied by later generations.
After all, after thousands of years of ups and downs, it is really amazing that these books can be preserved so well.
Han Kongque looked at Chen Qian with an ugly face and said, "Uncle Chen, right? These two books are indeed old. Since you can receive these two books, you may be able to receive some more from the book seller. You must know that this
There must be more than two books in his collection.
These two books will be regarded as the tuition fees you gave me. Since the tuition fees have been collected, I will say a few more words. Of the two books today, one is indeed handed down from the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which is the Han family tree.
.
The other book should not be from the Northern Wei Dynasty. It should be a book from the Eastern Han Dynasty. As for whether it was handwritten by Zhang Zhi, this needs to be researched and verified.
To find out its identity, the best way is to find Zhang Zhi's original regular script and compare it.
However, this is difficult, and besides, I have no intention of selling this "Medical Strategy", so I don't intend to waste time on researching it."
Chen Qian said: "I see that the paper in these two books is very white, and they look very new. Are you sure they are ancient books?"
Chen Qian has been in the antique business for more than ten years. He has made mistakes and lost treasures. As he has been doing it for a long time, his mentality will naturally adjust faster. Otherwise, he will die of depression sooner or later in this business.
Although this matter was a big deal today, thinking that he had sold it to Han Kongque forcefully, he did not dare to say anything that he regretted now.
"Paper has a life span of thousands of years. As long as it is properly preserved, ancient books can be handed down for a long time without encountering the dangers of 'water, fire, insect soldiers'. However, due to the difference in papermaking technology, today's mechanical paper only has a lifespan of 100 years, while the mechanical paper made in ancient times has a life span of only 100 years."
Paper, it's hard to say.
Therefore, it must be a unique place to be able to successfully preserve these two books and preserve them so well. And there is also the Han family tree in it, which only shows that this is a very well-built study, or else
It is the ancestral hall of one branch of our Han family, but no matter where it is, since there are these two books, there must be others."
Han Kongque made it very clear. If Chen Qian still doesn't understand, it only means that he is stupid. However, this possibility should not be possible. If there are no other benefits to compensate, anyone who loses such a valuable treasure will be depressed and vomit blood. Absolutely
Chen Qian will not be as calm as he is now. His current situation can only show that there is still a huge temptation supporting him.
For the preservation of books, external conditions are very important. They cannot be stored in a sealed environment. They cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, the temperature must not be too high, the temperature must not be too low, and they must not be damp. They must be insect-proof, fire-proof, and vandal-proof. It can be said that they must be preserved for thousands of years.
, is not easy.
Even if some people love books as much as their lives, they may not be able to preserve them well if they are passed down from generation to generation. Now that there are two ancient books in good condition, it can only be said that they are unique.
This place must have all the conditions for preserving books, which is why these two books are preserved today.
This kind of place is very difficult to find. If Han Kongque wants to continue to keep these two books, he will have to find a way to meet the above conditions in the future.
Chen Qian looked at the eloquent Han Peacock in amazement. At this time, he still looked like a rookie. Just a few simple words gave Chen Qian an illusion.
How could this be Kaizi? This was clearly a fox. How could he have thought he was easy to deceive before?
Chen Qian looked at Han Kongque with complicated thoughts, while Old Man Ji and Fat Liu were also uneasy. Chen Qian seemed to be in good luck. If he could still find treasures, he would not even need to do appraisals.
The two of them looked at Chen Qian with bright eyes, and Chen Qian looked at Han Peacock. This boy looked like this, he was really deceptive, and he was really good food for this bowl of rice.
Old Man Ji seemed to know what Chen Qian was thinking: "This little guy has lived here for ten years. Who among us has not paid tuition! You will know in the future that you will never be able to eat after you meet Brother Han."
deficit."
"Okay, I have said everything that should be said and should not be said. Now I am going home. In the future, some of you will come and play with me when you have time." With that, Han Peacock was about to walk into the alley.
"Wait a minute, Brother Han, I just said I wanted to treat you. Why? Why don't you give me face?" Old Man Ji grabbed Han Peacock again and said.
Han Peacock glanced at Old Man Ji in confusion, and then at Fat Liu. Seeing that Fat Liu meant not to let him go home, his mind just changed a little and he guessed something.
"Thank you, Mr. Ji, for your kindness. I'd better go home and take a look. It's only around ten o'clock now. Even if I don't go back at noon, I have to go home in the evening. Besides, going to eat at this time will too much delay your business."
Han Kongque looked at Ji Lao and Fat Liu with some gratitude. They must have seen his father go to his rental house. After living here for so many years, the biggest gain is getting to know so many neighbors. They won't let him go in now.
