After all the dishes were served, I returned the phone to Heima. My mind was a little confused, especially the triangular ancient jade. My uncle wanted to find information about it before, and it took a long time and energy. I also stayed up late with him.
, I read through many ancient books and documents from the Warring States and Qin Dynasties, and even consulted some people related to Taoism, but I couldn't find any clues, so I had no choice but to give up and let it go.
Sometimes things are so wonderful. When you have long forgotten about it, clues suddenly appear. Shen Yuan carved the iron ring to lock the netherworld and the front and back of the ancient jade on the bamboo slips.
Now there is another identical ancient jade here in Heima.
It's like you have lost something and you have searched every corner of your home but can't find it. When you give up, this thing will appear in front of you inexplicably one day. How could you forget it at that time?
I asked Shen Yuan what the use of this ancient jade and the patterns carved on it were!
"How about it!"
Heima closed the private room door, sat back on the chair, and asked, "Can you tell?"
I shook my head and said, "With these two things, there is absolutely no way. I can only confirm that they are the tombs of the Warring States Period."
"I know this too."
Heima said: "This tripod is in the shape of the Warring States and Qin Dynasty. I want to know whose tomb it is."
After thinking about it, I said: "On most pottery tripods, words or paintings are usually used to describe some of the deeds of the tomb owner during his lifetime. The pottery tripod in your photo was not well preserved, and the paint encountered the air.
, it has evaporated long ago and no traces can be seen, unless you have other clues."
"There is also a set of armor."
Heima said: "My friend said that the armor was rotted into mud, so he didn't take any pictures."
Armor! This clue is very important. There is a pottery tripod and armor in the cemetery, which means that this tomb must be the tomb of a military general.
Civil and military officials in feudal society seemed to be officials in the same palace and jointly assisted the same emperor. However, in fact, officials from the civil and military departments looked at each other with disgust. First, the positions of civilian officials were generally higher than those of military attachés, and military attachés were subject to civilian officials.
It is a common method used by emperors in the past dynasties to stabilize their rule, because once the military attache is strong, there will be conditions and possibilities for rebellion.
The second is the difference in ideological concepts. In today's terms, civil servants think that they are well-read in poetry and books, and that they are a cultured, ideal, and ambitious person. They look down on and are unwilling to be with those who are born in the mud and only know how to fight.
They are surrounded by military generals who fight and kill, but the generals think that they fight bloody battles on the battlefield, and their bodies are wrapped in horses and hides. Their personalities are like the swords in their hands, open and close, and they hate those civil servants who are polite on the surface but scheming behind the scenes.
Based on these two points, it can be concluded that this cemetery must be the tomb of a military general, because after the death of civil servants, they will not tell their descendants to put bloodthirsty weapons such as weapons and armors in their tombs. They think it will ruin their feng shui.
, leaving a legacy to future generations.
Based on my own analysis, I said to Kuroma: "If there is a set of armor, it is most likely from the tomb of a general from the Warring States Period."
The corners of Heima's mouth slowly raised, and his eyes instantly brightened, "General!"
"Why are you so excited!"
Seeing the corners of Heima's eyes trembling, I said: "The military system of the Qin Dynasty is somewhat different from that of other dynasties. In addition to Taiwei, the only permanent military officers are former general, rear general, left general and right general. These
Military generals with this position are generally stationed at the border to guard against enemy incursions. Other military ranks are temporary positions.
, such as generals, generals, etc., are similar to current temporary workers."
"What do you mean?" Heima didn't know much about history.
"The meaning is very simple."
I said: "When the troops go on expeditions, temporary military positions are set up. When the war is over, the troops return to their nests, and all the temporary military positions are cancelled. Therefore, the status of military generals in the Qin Dynasty was not high at that time. Don't look at the general when you hear it.
Taking the green light, to put it bluntly, the general and the general were actually temporary positions in the Qin Dynasty, and the pottery tripod buried with him in the cemetery once again shows that his status was not high. If he was buried with a copper tripod, that would show his
He is of high rank and has outstanding military exploits."
Heima made a big change, turning from a budding flower into a bitter melon, saying, "That means there may not necessarily be good things in it!"
"Who knows."
I started to think a little: "This piece of jade doesn't look very good, but it's quite interesting. It's triangular. Haha, I have a customer who likes to collect some weird objects. If your friend sells it,
If so, I can ask you about that piece of jade."
"How much does it cost?" Heima asked.
I rubbed my chin, thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say. There is no similar type of object on the market, and the auction house has never seen this thing. Alas! To be honest, jade of this quality cannot be sold in the auction house at all, so
There is no price reference. You ask your friend how much he pays, and I will ask my customer. Well... let's do it. For the sake of Sister Ping helping me to look after the store, I won't pay. You ask your friend how much.
After the money is paid, you can add some benefits to yourself, and I will quote the price directly to the customer. How about that?"
"You wait."
After Heima finished speaking, he opened the door of the private room and walked out. It seemed that he called to inquire about the price.
While I was drinking, I was chatting with Sister Ping about my store. In fact, there was nothing too troublesome. I just wanted to briefly explain that she and Heima have been doing business in the antique city for so long. There are many things.
It works in one go.
Not long after, Heima came back and said, "Twenty thousand, my friend wants one hundred thousand, I added twenty thousand, and each of us will share ten thousand, how about that?"
I have already said that I don’t want benefits, but Heima still acts on principle, but the problem is, I have a shitty client to accept, that is, the young master, I want it myself, you take my money, and then give me another 10,000 yuan
For wool.
I frowned and said, "That friend of yours really dares to speak! He wants one hundred thousand directly. Brother Ma, you know something about jade. Although there is no reference for this triangular jade of the same type, it is available on the market."
It's much better than this. The jade from the Warring States Period is made of better materials, better in color, and more finely crafted than this. It only costs about 100,000 yuan. You can see the photo yourself, that triangle piece.
The jade looks like it was carved from a piece of scrap material. My client likes to collect weird objects, but that doesn’t mean he is a fool.”
"Ahem..."
Heima blushed a little, and he knew this himself, "But my friend killed the price, and there's nothing I can do about it."
I thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. You send the photo to my mobile phone and I'll send it to the client to see if he has any ideas about this thing."
"Okay!" Heima sent the photo directly without thinking too much.
I took my mobile phone and walked out of the private room. In Heima's eyes, I must have found a place where no one was around to inquire about the price. In fact, I walked outside the restaurant and smoked out of boredom.
Smoking.
In my eyes, this triangular ancient jade is not very valuable, but that was the previous view. Now Shen Yuan has appeared. He is very concerned about the ancient jade with Ji Suo Nether. The value of an object depends on
Its own characteristics, whether it is in good condition, whether it is rare in the world, whether its culture is profound, etc., but there is another very important factor that determines its value, that is, it is difficult to buy it with money, and this ancient jade itself may not be
It's valuable, but in Shen Yuan's heart, it's definitely a pet peeve. When the time comes, I'll offer a high price, and I'm very sure that Shen Yuan will accept it without saying a word. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile proudly, little
Grandpa's fortune is coming, and nothing can stop it.
"Seventy thousand."
I smoked two cigarettes, returned to the private room of the restaurant, and said to Heima: "My client said it would cost 70,000 yuan. As you know, this price cannot be described as fair. It has completely exceeded the value of the jade itself."
."
"Okay!" Heima agreed without even thinking.
I was stunned for a moment, "You...don't you want to call and ask your friends first?"
"puff……"
Heima choked on the wine and his face turned red. He didn't know whether it was because he had done something wrong or because he was choked by the wine: "Well... that... no need, I can help my friend make a decision, hehehehe...
…”
"Yeah!"
I looked a little unhappy and said, "You guys have such a strong relationship!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Heima smiled dryly and said, "Of course, it has to do with playing since childhood."
Damn it! Young Master, I was fooled. Heima himself was careless and quick-tongued, exposing his twists and turns. He said that his friend killed one hundred thousand, so he didn’t even ask, and directly agreed to ship the goods for seventy thousand.
, there is no need to think about it, his friend’s quotation is definitely much lower than 70,000. The 100,000 was paid by Heima himself, and then he deliberately added 20,000, saying that he would give me 10,000, which was actually used to confuse me.
This kind of situation is very common when working as a middleman when moving bricks, but today the young master wanted the triangular ancient jade too much, and he owed Sister Ping a favor, so he was careless and was fooled by Heima.
"Since we have such a good relationship, I want him to be less generous."
I didn’t directly expose the black hemp trick that has been played to death, because once it is exposed, the deal is likely to be ruined, and it is me who will suffer in the end. In addition, this kind of trick can get around a shrewd person like the young master.
, speaking out, in front of my colleagues, my face was not bright, and I said: "Didn't you just say you would give me 10,000 yuan? If you want him to give me less, we can also give him a little more, right?"
"Ahem! Well..."
Heima thought for a moment, then patted his chest and said: "Boss Ye, let me tell you the truth. My friend actually quoted 68,000 yuan. I also wanted to help my friend, so I didn't think about making money at all, so I agreed.
If you settle down, let’s do this, I won’t take a penny of the money, and the extra two thousand will be yours, so that’s okay.”
"Brother Ma is still very generous. You are so generous, so I won't say much. Thank you, Brother Ma."
I picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Heima, and said, "Fortunately, your friend didn't ask for sixty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. Otherwise, I will take the remaining one dollar, young master. It seems that I am stingy. Even one dollar
I won’t let go of the money, don’t want it! It makes me look too high-minded, and I don’t care about people, right? Brother Ma.”
"Ahem...hmm..." Heima kept eating the food, not daring to raise his face to look at me.
