Eight hundred and fifty-ninth chapter Bian Que needle
Han Kongque said sarcastically: "Didn't you hear what this Master Chen said, my craftsmanship is very good, but it's just because I'm not good at it. When I go back and practice more, I will be more comfortable when turning the carving knife. Master Chen said
The signs of stiffness will disappear.”
"Is this Mr. Han's work?" Master Chen looked at Han Peacock in surprise.
Han Kongque said: "Of course, if I were not a novice, this piece of jade would not be worth one million. Therefore, Master Chen, I am not an amateur either. You should know clearly from my carving that one million, if you can,
This jade article is for you."
After being silent for a while, Master Chen said: "One million is too much. The most we can give you is 800,000. This is because it is the best white jade. If the color and texture reach the level of mutton-fat white, one million is about the same. Now this white jade
Guanyin is still far behind."
Seeing that Han Peacock still wanted to counteroffer, the lobby manager sitting on the side said: "Mr. Han wants to be cheated, right? If so, how could Mr. Han redeem it? In this case, there is no need to worry about it, right?"
Anyway, as long as you have enough cash, you’ll be fine.”
Han Kongque thought about it, and it was right. He really didn't need to worry about it, so he said, "Just take it as a day!"
Master Chen said: "We will pay you 790,000 and redeem it for 800,000."
Han Peacock smiled and said: "No problem, can you send the things up now?"
As soon as Han Kongque finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Immediately, several people came in from the door, each carrying a beautiful wooden box.
Master Chen casually opened a wooden box, and a strange thing was revealed inside. Master Chen chuckled and said, "Guest, please take a look."
Liu Xu and Zhou Meiren looked at Master Chen strangely. He didn't even introduce the things he was selling. Han Kongque didn't seem to be surprised at all. He directly pulled the wooden box to his side and examined it carefully.
Since Han Peacock was sitting between Liu Xu and Zhou Meiren, the two women could also see what was in the box.
Han Peacock saw Liuxu and Zhou Meiren being attracted to the things in the box, and said with a smile: "This thing is really strange, especially the bird on the top. Is it a magpie?"
"Magpie? You won't admit it, right?" Liuxu hadn't looked at the contents of the box too carefully at first, but now she became serious after hearing what Han Peacock said. After taking it seriously, she immediately realized that this seemed to be a very interesting thing.
Han Peacock continued: "Of course, you look like that, doesn't it look like a magpie? Magpies are called long-tailed wolves in our countryside. They are not very pleasant. I saw this thing every day when I was a child. I even took out the magpie's nest. This casting
The flat magpie, I can’t mistake it.”
"Bian magpie? Bian magpie? Is this a needle?" Liu Xu looked at the things in the box in surprise.
Zhou Meiren stopped looking at it at this time. Although the things in the box were a bit strange, she was not interested at all. Now when she heard what Han Kongque said, she also realized that this was a gift prepared by Han Kongque for Liuxu.
Seeing Liuxu staring at him in surprise, Han Peacock didn't have much expression: "I don't know whether it's a needle or not. You are an expert in this aspect."
Liu Catkin's eyes returned to the box. Looking at it again, the needle body was about 3 mm in diameter and 13 cm long. The needle head was thick and blunt, and the needle tail was made into the image of a magpie. The craftsmanship was exquisite.
"This is really the magpie needle? Where did you find it?" Liuxu picked up the needle, stroked the magpie on it, and said in surprise.
"I didn't find them, you found them. I don't know them, because this is my first time here." Han Kongque said with a smile, looking at Master Chen and the lobby manager.
Liu Xu said angrily: "You say this now, do you think I will believe it?"
Han Kongque spread his hands and said, "You can't help it if you don't believe it. We are here to pawn things. If you are so surprised now, Master Chen will definitely ask for a high price."
Liu Xu said in surprise: "You really didn't arrange it?"
Han Kongque nodded and said: "No, you also know that I am not very familiar with medical things. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that there is such a thing as the Bian Que Magic Needle?"
"I really discovered it myself?" Liu Xu said with a smile.
Han Peacock also smiled: "Didn't you find out?"
"Then I want this Bian Que magic needle. Master, please give me a price." Liu Xu said happily.
Master Chen looked at Han Peacock. He did not know Han Peacock, but he was told that these things were specially sent to him, so he said: "This is indeed a Bian Que magic needle. Since Madam knows about it,
You should know its value. This is the only one left in the world. It can be said to be unique and its value is immeasurable."
Liuxu smiled and said: "Of course I know its value, but to say it is unique is going too far. If it is really unique, how would I know it?"
Master Chen smiled and said: "The "Historical Records. Biography of Bian Que" records that Bian Que asked his disciple Ziyang to sharpen the stone with needles to get the Sanyang and Wuhui outside. There was a time when Prince Su. The 'hard needle and stone' here is the legend.
'Bian Que Needle' in.
However, since "Historical Records", physical objects and historical materials related to Bian Que have been extremely rare, let alone physical objects. Since my wife is a medical student, she should have heard of this record, and naturally knows about Bian Que's magic needle.
But there is no one who has really seen Bian Que’s magic needle.”
Liu Xu said: "Not many people have seen it and I believe it, but to say it is unique would be an exaggeration. I know someone in China has a collection of such a Bian Que magic needle."
Master Chen glanced at Liu Xu and said: "It seems that Madam's medical attainments are not low. Since she is a real expert, I will not hide it. This Bian Que magic needle came from the Zhang family in the capital. His family has been a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for generations. If you know
There is someone in China who collects the Bian Que Magic Needle, and it must be the Zhang family.
This Bian Que magic needle first appeared in the Ordos grassland. It is the earliest and most intact Bian Que needle discovered so far. It is called the best needle in the world. Does this mean that Madam still thinks that we will ask for an exorbitant price?"
Liu Xu looked at the Bian Que Divine Needle in her hand in surprise. She really didn't expect that the Bian Que Divine Needle from the Zhang family in the capital would actually appear here. At this time, Liu Xu was also a little doubtful. She met this Bian Que Divine Needle today.
Needle, maybe it is a surprise, because this magical needle is indeed the only one found in China. Even if it is a Korean peacock, it should not be easy to get it.
After a moment of silence, Liuxu said: "Even if it's unique, it still has a price. You give me a price."
"Just 800,000! You only have this much money now. You won't have any more, and we won't be willing to sell it for less." Master Chen glanced at Han Peacock and said.
Liu Xu said in surprise: "Eight hundred thousand? How dare you ask for eight hundred thousand for such a needle? This uncle, dare I ask his master, how much did he pay you for it? I think it will never be more than
One hundred thousand, right?”
Master Chen nodded and said: "It's 80,000 yuan, but this has nothing to do with its value. If Madam doesn't believe it, just ask the gentleman next to you to see if he thinks that this Bian Que Magic Needle is worth 80 yuan."
Ten thousand."
"No, a useless broken needle was sold for 800,000 yuan." Liuxu pushed the box angrily and turned her head away from looking at it.
Han Peacock chuckled and said: "Don't be angry! Master Chen is right. It's their ability to get this thing for 80,000 yuan. It's the same as picking up leaks for me. Are we only allowed to pick up leaks and not them?"
?That’s it, we want this Bian Que Magic Needle for 800,000 yuan, and now we are looking at other things.”
"He is ripping us off. If you really buy it, we will be fooled. I don't want it." Liu Xiu said, holding Han Kongque's arm.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Is eight hundred thousand a lot? It's just some paper, you can just like it."
After saying that, Han Peacock pushed the box to Liu Xiang's side: "You put it away."
"Put it away for me. I will study it carefully when we get back. This is a medical instrument from a thousand years ago." Now that Han Kongque bought it, Liuxu didn't worry about the money anymore and happily pushed the box to Han Kongque again.
Han Peacock chuckled and opened another wooden box. This time it was a wall chart. Master Chen took the picture out of the wooden box and opened it carefully.
"At this time, "Yongzheng Bronze Man Mingtang Picture", the earliest surviving acupuncture wall chart?" Liu Xu recognized the origin of this wall chart at a glance.
Zhang Peacock looked at Liu Xu in surprise: "You can do that?"
Liu Xu rolled her eyes at Han Kongque and said: "I have specially studied acupuncture. I even learned some of the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, so I am still very familiar with this wall chart. The acupuncture Mingtang chart that has been discovered so far is generally
They were all made during the Qianlong period or later, but this "Yongzheng Bronze Figure in the Mingtang" is an acupuncture wall chart from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.
Look at the calligraphy, it is the handwriting under the picture. This is the handwritten description of more than 100 words written by the Qing minister when he presented the picture to Emperor Yongzheng. It can be seen that this acupuncture wall chart is the first draft for Emperor Yongzheng to review.
Acupuncture technology has a long history, but it began to decline in the late Qing Dynasty. Some feudal moralists regarded it as a medical path, and performing acupuncture on the emperor's dragon body was unbecoming and unethical.
In 1822, Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty issued a ban and permanently abolished the acupuncture department in Taiyuan Hospital. Therefore, this acupuncture wall chart is of extraordinary value for studying the development of acupuncture in the early Qing Dynasty, which is why this chart is precious."
Liu Xu's joyful expression could be seen by everyone, but the way Han Kongque looked at her was a little strange. Soon Liu Xu discovered it, and she said strangely: "Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?
"
Han Kongque said: "I now suspect that you are selling things instead of buying things. I really regret it. When I was on the antique street, I should have taken you out more often to see how I picked up the things I missed. Now you
If you praise this picture so much, how much do we need to buy it for?"
Liu Xu said strangely: "This wall chart is a real treasure. It was given to Emperor Yongzheng for inspection. Even if I deliberately belittle him, would Master Chen think it is a fake and sell it to us at a low price?" (
