Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 237

That's what I say, but anyone who knows a little bit about antiques knows that as long as something stays in your hands, even if it's a huge leak, others can't open their mouths.

It's not just antiques, it's true in all walks of life, and it has nothing to do with whether the rules are followed or not. This is the case with good morals, including the law.

So this is no different from an open grab. The salesperson was stopped just as he was about to speak.

Li Ding'an looked at the customers rushing to buy bamboo tubes in surprise: Didn't you pay attention to what I just said and just remembered Yuan Chenghuan and Hong Chengchou at the end?
Then you should check it out. If you're not sure whether what I say is true or false, why don't you just grab it?

Without looking at Yu Huiyin, she bit her lip, her face almost bulged into a bun, and she was about to burst into laughter.

It seems that he is really an outsider. He doesn’t even know much about history, let alone antiques, so he only cares about picking up bargains...

After being surprised for several seconds, he sighed: "Boss, you really want it?"

Nonsense, this kind of thing only costs [-]?What a bargain...

"Of course!"

"Okay!" Li Ding'an pushed the thing forward, "Pay!"

Pay as you go.

They all took out their mobile phones, and the guest paused again.

Why does something feel wrong: Is this person so easy to talk to?
This is someone who is being cut off right before your eyes. Most people would have started arguing by now, and might have already begun to roll up their sleeves and prepare to get started.He's doing well, not only is he not angry, he's also smiling?

Suddenly, he hesitated again, looked at the bamboo tube, and then at Li Ding'an: "Is it really used by Yuan Chonghuan or Hong Chengchou?"

This is very funny: If you want to steal something from me, you still have to ask me to explain it to you?

Li Ding'an still smiled: "Maybe I remembered it wrong!"

"No... aren't you an expert? Why are you like this?"

"I'm just a customer now... Just tell me whether to buy it or not. If you don't buy it, don't delay other people's business!"

In an instant, he actually understood: What I said may not be true, nor am I telling you to believe it or not, and I have no obligation to explain it to you.If you don't want to buy it, get out of the way...

The customer was immediately dumbfounded and felt more than ordinary discomfort: This is neither good nor bad, should I buy it or not?

I'm also a little doubtful: Isn't he trying to trick me into being fooled? Otherwise, he could just pay the money directly. Why did he make it so clear?

And it seemed that he was very familiar with the salesperson, and he even asked, "Do you have any sales tasks?"... No matter what you think of it, it seems a bit routine?
Just as he was doubting, someone behind him whispered: "How do I remember that between Yuan Chenghuan and Hong Chengchou, there were several governors of Zhenliao?"

There are several others in the middle... It means that the time is not right?
What the hell is this if it’s not a routine?
He shook his head decisively: "I don't want it anymore!"

Knowing that there must be someone who knows a little bit about history, Li Ding'an smiled and looked at the people behind him: "Do you want it?"

You asked us if we wanted it, how could we miss it like this?

It’s already here, who dares to ask for it?Thirty-six thousand is not much, but no one’s money comes from strong winds...

Several people shook their heads one after another.

"Okay!" Li Ding'an nodded and pushed forward: "It's done!"

"Okay...Teacher Li, wait a moment!"

The salesperson happily took the bamboo tube and brought the POS machine.I was afraid that someone would jump out and cause trouble again, so I moved very quickly with my hands. Scanning the code, collecting payment, issuing receipts, and issuing invoices... the whole process took less than 3 minutes.

Several bargain hunters looked at each other: Isn't this a trick? Why did he buy it again?
Could it be possible that he was deceived again?

In doubt, the salesman handed the things and the invoice to Li Ding'an, and blinked: "Teacher Li, is it really related to Yuan Chonghuan or Hong Chengchou?"

How can it be?

"I just said it casually, don't mind!"

Li Ding'an suppressed a smile: "In the 44th year of Wanli, Nurhaci proclaimed himself emperor, and Hou Jin founded the country. Only in the Ming Dynasty did the official position of 'Governor of Liaodong Military Affairs' exist... Three years later, during the Battle of Sarhu, Liaoyang was captured by Hou Jin, and east of All the forts were lost, including of course Jin Douduo and Jieguan Tingpu. At that time, Yuan Chonghuan had just passed the examination. Emperor Wanli gave him the same background as the Jinshi and was appointed magistrate of Shaowu County in Fujian... Seven years later, Chongzhen ordered him to oversee Liaodong... …

Hong Chengchou was even later, and it was another 12 years before he visited Liaodong... Therefore, when Jieguantingpu still belonged to the Ming Dynasty, these two people did not know where they were... At that time, only Yang Hao was the governor of Liaodong. , to say that it is related to him, it is possible..."

The salesman was dumbfounded: He was a temporary worker and had never even gone to college. How could he know about the Battle of Saarhu and which year Yuan Chonghuan and Hong Chengchou each took charge of Liaodong?
It's even more impossible to mind: if something is sold, he also gets a commission, right?And he wasn't blind: Li Ding'an was clearly taking care of him.

I just can’t figure it out: If it doesn’t matter, why did you buy this thing?
If it were just an ordinary object from the Ming Dynasty, thirty-six thousand would not be worth much.

Several guests were relieved at first: it was indeed him who made it up, and they were almost fooled.

But then, he turned another corner: No... Then you still buy it?
"It really has nothing to do with these two, but it has something to do with others... Let me talk about Jieguantingpu first: the postal system in the Ming Dynasty was managed by Huitongguan (the diplomatic agency of the Ming Dynasty), but only in ordinary areas. Jiubian was under the command of the capital. The Envoy Division (the highest military organization in border towns)... The Liaodong Capital Command Envoy Division has five routes, 25 guards, and 35 post offices. Therefore, the post office belongs to the Wei Mansion, and the shop is under the management of the Qianhu Office at the lower level of the Wei Mansion...

Jindou Post belongs to Siding Liaoweiwei, the commander of Liaoyang, and Jieguan Pavilion is located in Kuoyang, so it is naturally managed by Qianhu in Kuoyang.In addition to being the 'first fortress in Liaodong' and the 'frontline against the Hou Jin Dynasty', there was an officer in Kuoyang who was also quite famous..."

"Who!"

Li Ding'an paused for a moment, then smiled again: "Mao Wenlong, from the 36th year of Wanli to the Battle of Sarhu, he has always been the garrison of Kuoyang (Qianhu)...because he is 'unwilling to kill a person indiscriminately', 'I don't want to repay one's merits', so he didn't move his home for 12 years...

It was Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, who thought he was pitiful and gave him the false title of "Dusi (chief officer of the Wei Palace)"... During the Battle of Sarhu, he escaped by sea and killed Houjin's guard in Zhenjiang along the way. The guard general is the only general with meritorious service, and only then can he be considered as the captain of the capital. Later, Wang Huazhen awarded him the title of guerrilla training..."

"Is that what Mao Wenlong used?"

Li Ding'an shook his head: "I don't know, I still need to verify it, but it must be related!"

Nonsense isn't it?

The salesman finally heard it clearly: It had only been three years since the governor of Zhenliao was held until the fall of Jieguanting. Since there are fire seals of 'Zhenliao' and 'Jieguantingpu' on this bamboo tube, it must be from these three years. Made within the year.During this period, the chief official of Jieguantingpu was Mao Wenlong, and it was impossible to have anything to do with him.

Several guests were also confused: Mao Wenlong is not a small person, how is he different from Yuan Chonghuan and Hong Chengchou mentioned before?
It is even more uncertain that Mao Wenlong used this mailbox to contain letters to Yang Hao and Wang Huazhen, and there were more than one... These two are also famous figures in history, and this thing was used to "fly to report military intelligence." , it is most likely related to the Battle of Salhu... After all, is it not more valuable than what was said before?
Really, the more I think about it, the more I regret it, and I feel like my intestines are turning green: Why did Li Dingan shake his head when he asked them if they wanted it?

Isn’t it just thirty-six thousand...

The person who said he wanted to buy it before but didn’t want it later was about to explode: “Experts...are you lying, cheating?”

Is there something wrong with you? Did I lie to you?
He had to help the national treasure several times every day, and Li Ding'an had already practiced to the state of "let him go crazy, let him go wild, the breeze blows on the mountains" without even squinting his eyes.

The more he acted like this, the angrier the guest became, his eyes became red, and he wanted to have a fight on the spot.But as soon as he clenched his fists, two young men emerged from the room behind the counter.

He had been on guard. When he first appeared, the salesman had a premonition that a conflict would occur, and immediately sent a text message to his colleagues in the security team, who had already arrived.The two of them were tall and strong, with cold expressions, and they were ready to take action if they disagreed.So the dirty words came to his lips and he swallowed them down.

Thinking about it again, this is an exhibition sponsored by the government. If you dare to act arrogant, you will get into trouble...

Immediately I was a little scared, and it was true that I was being irrational, and I suddenly had the idea of ​​​​greasing the soles of my feet.But before leaving, he still pointed at Li Ding'an bitterly: "Li Ding'an, just wait for me!"

I've been waiting too much, so please wait in line first!
Li Dingan said "heh" and looked at the people behind him again.

Some turned their faces away, pretending not to see them, some smiled sheepishly, and some had expressionless faces... Anyway, no one moved, and they made it clear that they would follow them to the end.

Got it: I haven’t given up yet.

Okay, then you can follow, but don’t blame me if you are fooled.

He sighed, turned his head again, and accidentally found Yu Huiyin staring at him.

"Is it really Mao Wenlong's mailbox?"

"Of course not, otherwise it would be his personal mark engraved on it, and it would not be possible to sell it for only [-]...and this is public property, he can at most count it as used!"

"That's valuable, right?"

"In general, it won't increase by ten times, but it will still be worth [-] or [-] yuan."

The salesperson didn't know how to comment: It's only increased three or four times, but it's just average?
Teacher Li is indeed Teacher Li...

After hearing this, those who were still following felt a little more balanced: Fortunately, it was only 10,000+...

Li Ding'an was too lazy to pay attention, and looked at it again while holding the bag.After about five or six minutes, he pointed to the display cabinet again and asked the salesperson to take out another item.

This time the object was smaller and the view was not very clear, so these people subconsciously moved closer.

It looks like a small red copper pot, but the shape is a bit strange:
It is said to look like a pot because it has a handle and a lid, and there are buttons on the lid.It is strange because there is no spout and no water outlet, but there is a small ring at the end of the handle.

Second, there is a seat under the pot: four legs, about the thickness of a little finger, about ten centimeters high, and a circle with an outer edge on the legs, and the pot sits in the circle.

The third one is small. Not counting the base, the body of the pot is only as big as a baseball.

The workmanship is very exquisite: there is a cluster of flowers carved on it, with lush branches and leaves, which is very expressive.There are sixteen small characters engraved below, like a poem: I was three times as old as I was when I was admitted to the imperial examination, accomplished nothing, and joined the army at seventy.

Further down there are words, only four, but even smaller: Golden Horse Old Man.

Yu Huiyin looked at it and really couldn't recognize what it was.I thought about it again: the first sixteen characters are like a life story, and the golden horse old man at the back is more like a name.

But in my mind, I can’t remember who had this name?

Forget it, no brainer.

She touched Li Ding'an with her arm and said in a low voice, "What is this?"

"Oh... it's a wax bucket, also called a lacquer furnace... used to melt paraffin or fire paint for sealing envelopes! Look at the base. It's actually a furnace ring. It can be placed on an oil lamp, or you can light a candle underneath... …Look at this ring, there should be a wax skewer on it: one end is a hook, used to lift the pot beam and lid, and the other end is a shovel, used to apply melted wax or lacquer. I don’t know how it was lost..."

So that's the case?

Yu Huiyin nodded and asked softly: "Is it valuable?"

"The price is 110 million!"

"So expensive?"

"This is not copper, but pure gold. However, it is too old and the coating is too thick, so it looks like copper."

Li Ding'an smiled and handed the thing over. As soon as Yu Huiyin caught it, his hand sank: It's so heavy... at least two kilograms.

Taking a closer look, the four legs of the base are actually solid, and the wall of the pot is probably very thick.

Looking at the label, it is indeed marked with a price, and it also says that the item is a gold pot.There is also a laboratory test certificate, dated to the mid-Ming Dynasty, but the origin is not written.

Counting only the gold value, it's only 50. If it's just something from the Ming Dynasty, it feels a bit high.

Then I thought about it again: The golden pot is just used to burn wax for letter openings?

Those who can afford it, even if they are not famous figures in history, must be from noble families... It may be out of this consideration that the seller sells it so expensively.

"Then buy it or not?"

"Of course!"

Li Ding'an smiled and put the things on the counter: "It's packed!"

The few people behind were dumbfounded again: They explained it so clearly before, but this time they just talked about the use, mentioned the material, and just said they bought it?

Could you please tell me the origin?

If you want to say something like the previous person who stabbed across the board: This is not 100, but more than [-] million?
Although it came in after two appraisals and has a test certificate, it must be genuine.But minus the gold, there is still a shortfall of 60. Merely dating back to the Ming Dynasty is not worth that much.

Therefore, either this thing has an origin, or this person is digging a hole to trick himself into being fooled.

Of course, it can be returned or exchanged within three days, but the procedure is troublesome on the one hand, and the key is that you won’t be allowed in later, and it would be embarrassing to spread the word, right?

After thinking about it, someone smiled at Li Ding'an: "Expert Li, why don't you tell me first?"

Is there something wrong with my brain?
Li Dingan pointed his hand: "How about you pay?"

This person immediately fell silent: "That's right, I'm not stupid."

After a few people hesitated, Li Ding'an paid. The salesperson also acted quickly and completed all the procedures within 3 minutes.

Several people came closer, looking eager for knowledge.

Li Ding'an bared his teeth and smiled: "I want to say that this was used by Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty. You will not believe it!"

"I rely on..."
