Chapter 209 Who is cheating (2)

"Ce? Brother Nan, I went to junior high school after all. That word is definitely not Ce, it's obviously Rong..."

Xie Xuan has always had a headache when reading books. He finally recognized the traditional Chinese character "宝" on a copper coin. He was also questioned by Shen Nan about misidentifying another character. The little fat man expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Don't interrupt yet..."

Xin Nan no longer cared about being polite at this moment, pushed Xie Xuan away, put his head on the copper coins, and said urgently: "Qin Feng, is that what I said?"

"Tianrong? No, this must be a plan!"

After looking at it for a long time with high-grade glasses, Xin Nan finally recognized the vague words on it and shouted loudly: "Tiance Fubao, yes, it is Tiance Fubao!"

"Tiance Mansion Treasure? Isn't that a copper coin?"

"The person who just shouted was Tiance Mansion Treasure? Could it be that fifty treasures have appeared again?"

"Hurry up and take a look, those guys just grabbed a handful of copper coins!"

In excitement, Xin Nan's voice was a little loud, and immediately everyone within a radius of ten or twenty meters stopped listening.

The tourists who came to Beijing from other places didn't have any reaction when they heard Xin Nan's words, but the expressions on the faces of the street stall owners were much richer and more exciting.

Anyone who hangs out here in Panjiayuan has the dream of picking up antiques, but if you want to pick up antiques, you need a very important prerequisite, that is, you must have a deep understanding of antiques and rich experience.

When it comes to knowledge about ceramics, calligraphy, painting and jade, it is difficult for street stall owners to master it because it requires systematic study. However, as copper coins are displayed on almost every street stall in Panjiayuan, they are really familiar with them.

With the dream of picking up leaks and making a fortune, these bosses almost always treasure the names of the "Fifty Treasures" of copper coins, and they dream of finding such a copper coin belonging to the "Fifty Treasures" among the copper coins they collect!

It's just that the collection of copper coins has been around since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Over hundreds of years, those precious and rare copper coins have long been collected by others. Otherwise, with so many dynasties changing, only fifty precious coins would not have been selected.

It's copper coins.

Since the Panjiayuan antique market was established, I have never heard of "Fifty Treasures" copper coins appearing on any street stalls, but this does not hinder the sacred yearning in the hearts of street stall owners.

So after Xin Nan shouted out his voice, the surrounding area suddenly became boiling, and the stall owners all ignored their own stalls and gathered around one after another.

"Hey, young man, is this really the treasure of Tiance Mansion?"

"Take it out and have a look, so we can have a look."

"That's right, there are so many people, are you still afraid that we will steal yours?"

A group of people surrounded Qin Feng and others. Their eyes were fixed on Qin Feng's hands. They were surprised, envious, and of course, deeply jealous.

This jealous look naturally came from Boss Ma Hou. As soon as Xin Nan's voice came out, he jumped up as if he was electrocuted.

Because just when the copper coin sword fell to the ground, it happened to be seen by Boss Ma Hou. He was still laughing at Qin Feng and the others for being stupid. They paired it with a tattered copper coin that was not worth a hundred yuan and fooled them into buying it.

It cost more than a thousand yuan.

But when Shen Nan called out the words "Tiance Mansion Treasure", Ma Hou couldn't sit still anymore. If what Shen Nan said was true, I'm afraid he would not only be recognized as a fool, but also be regarded as a fool in the future.

This antique market will also be a joke.

"Brother, have you read it wrong? Where are the copper coins from Tiance Mansion?"

Mahou rolled his eyes and said, "I gave you the copper coin sword. Now it's broken. I'll replace it with another one. What do you think?"

Ma Houduan had a good idea. Even if the copper coins in the copper coin sword didn't have the Tiance Mansion treasure, the most he could do was thread the scattered copper coin sword with silk thread. But if there were any, he would have made a lot of money.

Already.

"Hey, who are you kidding..."

Xie Xuan stood up and said proudly: "Did you know that Tiance Mansion was established by Li Yuan when Li Shimin had no rank? There was Tiance Mansion in history, so how could there be no Tiance Mansion treasure?"

"Xuanzi, please stop talking." After hearing Xie Xuan's words, Qin Feng wanted to kick him out of the crowd.

"Brother Feng, what's wrong? I've heard of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Tiance Mansion was very famous. That kid Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion."

When the little fat man used to hang out on Jintian Antique Street, he would see the antique bosses talking about the past and the present all day long, and he felt very envious. This is the embodiment of knowledge and culture.

Unfortunately, Xie Xuan was a graduate of junior high school, and he really didn't have anything to say. Now that he happened to come across an allusion that he had heard, he naturally wanted to show off.

"Come on, shut your mouth." Qin Feng really wanted to pretend that he didn't know Xie Xuan. This completely unreliable thing was actually said by him in a clear and logical way. This is really the fearlessness of the ignorant.

"Hey, this fat brother is right. Little brother, what do you think, give me back the copper coin sword."

When the horse-faced boss heard Xie Xuan's words, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart. It seemed that they didn't know what Tiance Mansion Treasure was, and he might be able to defraud the copper coins back.

"Boss, okay, don't fool us."

Qin Feng looked at the horse-faced boss with a joking face and said: "Tiancefu Bao was cast by Ma Yin, King of Chu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It was in the first year of Qianhua. The inside and outside of the coin are neat and the inscriptions on the coin are genuine.

, there is no writing on the back, am I right?”

These few sentences were the original words that made Tiance Mansion Treasure included in the "Fifty Treasures". At this moment, Qin Feng recited them word for word, and the horse-faced boss suddenly turned pale.

The name of Tiancefubao does come from the three characters "Tiancefu", but in history, in addition to the "Tiancefu" built by Li Shimin, there was another "Tiancefu".

Speaking of the Tiance Mansion, we have to mention the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" that played a leading role in history. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Chinese history once again entered the era of great separatism.

In the vast area in the north, the result of the melee between warlords was the emergence of three more powerful dynasties: the Later Liang, the Later Tang, the Later Jin, the Later Han and the Later Wu.

At the same time, nine smaller separatist regimes coexisted in various parts of the south, namely Wu, Southern Tang, Wuyue, Chu, Qian Shu, Hou Shu, Southern Han, Nanping and Fujian. In the Hedong area in the north, there were Northern

The forces of the Han Dynasty are known in history as: Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Due to years of melee and endless conquests by various countries, the mining of metals has almost completely stopped. Due to the lack of copper, the various separatist regimes minted less copper coins, and the people still used the old Kaiyuan coins of the Tang Dynasty.

After Zhu Wen, Taizu of the Liang Dynasty, established the Later Liang Dynasty, he appointed Ma Yin, the then envoy of Tanzhou Jiedu, as General Tiance, built the Tiance Mansion, and later became the King of Chu.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Liang Dynasty, Yin Jianguo took over the system, appointed his own officials, built the Heavenly Palace and the shogunate of the King of Chu, appointed Gao Yu, Lu Shizhou and others, and adopted a series of policies and measures to maintain the independence of the Chu territory and local stability, develop the economy, and make the Chu state in the

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they were powerful and prosperous.

Whether the country is strong or not, currency plays a very important role. In order to show his wealth, Ma Yin had three types of Tiancefu treasures cast, which were made of copper, iron, and raw essence (silver).

Among these three types of copper coins, the copper ones have dragon-backed and gold-plated coins, which are the rarest.

Not only that, because the Chu State only existed for more than fifty years, most of the currencies issued were destroyed in the war. Even the Tiance Mansion treasures made of the other two materials are far more valuable than ordinary copper coins.

"Young man, you are so knowledgeable and talented..."

"You're right, Mahou, don't you kid ever try to trick anyone again."

"This is indeed the origin of the Tiance Mansion treasure. Brother, can you show us the thing?"

In the antique market, the most indispensable thing is understanding people. Even though they are just street stall owners, each of them can tell the origins of most of the fifty treasures.

So as soon as Qin Feng said this, the people onlookers immediately started to ridicule Ma Hou. This guy was so unreasonable. Although he sold the things, but if he bought them and left them, others would just buy a gold mountain. He

There should be no reason to regret it.

"Brothers, it's not that you can't see things, but this place isn't very suitable, right?"

Qin Feng cupped his hands to the left and right and said: "There are many people and many hands. If something is lost, I won't even have time to cry. Please be considerate."

As more and more people gathered to watch, some shop owners also came out, completely surrounding the place where Qin Feng and others were standing.

Qin Feng's words are reasonable, but this is the first time that Fifty Janes have appeared in Panjiayuan. No one is willing to leave, and more and more people are watching the excitement. Qin Feng and others can't leave even if they want to.

Already.

"Little brother, if not, come to my store!"

Just when Qin Feng was in a dilemma, an old man's voice rang out. When he looked up, Qin Feng suddenly smiled and realized that he was standing at the door of the previous Four Treasures Store.

"Okay, I'll excuse you." Qin Feng was not polite and directly pushed away Ma Hou who was blocking the way, and went straight into the Four Treasures of the Study store.

"Everyone, please disperse. Laochan's shop can't accommodate that many people. Besides, you still have business to do."

The old gentleman is not young, but he is full of energy. He seems to have some prestige in this area. After these words came out, the stall owners were also afraid that the things on the stalls would be taken away, and the crowded crowd gradually relaxed.

However, Boss Mahou was unwilling to do so. After returning and handing over the stall to the people next to him to take care of it, he went into the Wenfang Sibao store. His current mentality was: Even if he wants to die, he must die clearly!

Like Ma Hou, there were many people who wanted to know whether the money was real or fake. At this moment, they all swarmed into the store. The antique store, which was originally quite spacious, now seemed a bit small.

"Old sir, I'm really bothering you."

Qin Feng said with some embarrassment, fortunately this was not a ceramics and jade shop, otherwise if those people broke an object, I would probably be blamed on him.

"It doesn't matter." The old man glanced at everyone and said to the clerk in his store: "Go and ask them to step back."

Although the store was open to welcome customers, most of the people who came in were colleagues, and they knew the rules. They took a few steps back, leaving only Qin Feng and the store owner standing in front of the counter.

"What's your surname, sir?" Qin Feng said something meaningless.

"The old man's surname is Zhou..."

The old man answered and said straight to the point: "Young man, to be honest, I am also very interested in your copper coin. I wonder if I can show it to the old man?"

"Of course, Boss Zhou, please take a look..."

Qin Feng refused to take out the copper coins before because there were too many people watching. Now in front of the counter besides the owner of the antique shop are himself, Feng Yongkang and others, and he is not afraid of people behind him coming to grab it.

"Okay, I've heard about Fifty Treasures for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen them!"

Boss Zhou took out reading glasses and put them on his eyes, and took out a magnifying glass from the counter. After taking the copper coins handed by Qin Feng, he carefully placed them on a piece of white paper and then carefully

Check it out.

In order to take into account the feelings of the onlookers, Boss Zhou said while watching: "There is a word "天", well, the word "Fu" is also very clear, it is the word "ce", which is blocked by the patina."

"Brother Feng, what's up? It's right to say it's Rong." The little fat man who had lost face just now couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

"You kid, there will be a class on cultural relic appraisal later. Come to Beijing University to attend the class."

Qin Feng was dumbfounded by Xie Xuan's remarks. His brother was very shrewd, and he was very good at deceiving and abducting. However, he was not far behind in professional knowledge.

Fortunately, Xie Xuan also knew his own shortcomings. When he was in Jintian Antique Street, no matter what others said, he never spent a penny to purchase objects, so he never suffered a loss.

Everyone in the meeting was paying attention to the copper coin under Mr. Zhou's magnifying glass, and no one was paying attention to the Qin Feng brothers. A voice asked: "Mr. Zhou, is this made of iron and silver, or is it gilded?"

Mr. Zhou looked at it carefully and said, "It is gilded. Where the patina has been removed, there are traces of gilding."

"**, that...that's mine!"

After hearing Mr. Zhou's words, Boss Mahou, who was crowded in the front, was almost bleeding from his heart. He wanted to slap himself hard on the face.

In order to prevent people from rushing up to grab money, Qin Feng always stood sideways. After seeing the expression on the face of the horse-faced boss, Qin Feng showed a subtle sneer in his eyes.

As early as the first time he asked Boss Ma Lian about the theft, Qin Feng discovered that there were a few copper coins in the copper coin sword that were not normal. They were slightly larger.

However, these copper coins were heavily rusted and entangled inside, making it difficult for ordinary people to spot them. Qin Feng used his fingernails to pick off some of the patina, and only then did he see the word "ce".

For Qin Feng, who was equally familiar with the "Fifty Treasures", he naturally knew that since the advent of copper coins, only the Tiance Mansion treasure had such a word "ce", and he had the intention to buy it at that time.

This also corresponds to the saying that the antique shop is most discerning. The horse-faced boss thought he had made a more successful business and cheated Qin Feng and others, but he didn't know that Qin Feng was more surprised than him.

As the saying goes, you will suffer big losses if you take advantage of small things. Who cheated whom in this deal? Looking at the expressions on the two people's faces at this moment, it will be clear. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster.
