Chapter 117 Chapter 117

For a whole afternoon, Jia Sidao was thinking about what the drawing on the paper meant. If you just look at its simple and rough handwriting, it should be a work on the spur of the moment, and the writing is also relatively hasty, especially the few strokes of the route, which makes people completely confused at first glance. . The only handwriting is the three characters of "Shenlong Temple". Using these three characters as an introduction, Jia Sidao searched the Internet, but he didn't know if he didn't read it. I smiled wryly. Not because there are no such temples, but because there are too many.

Not to mention thousands of children and eight hundred, a dozen or twenty can be found quickly, and they are distributed all over the country. If you have to search for each place in person, God knows which Shenlong Temple to find the paper for painting. When will we wait?Moreover, the topographic map on this paper, if you can't actually inspect it with your own eyes, it is really difficult to confirm the occasional pictures of a few buildings in the Shenlong Temple that appear on the Internet. Jia Sidao even felt that the Shenlong Temple in this picture seemed to be in ruins, as if it had been destroyed by human beings. If it was really a famous place of interest, it must have been repaired a long time ago, right?No, tourism economy is being advocated these days.

If there is really something good that is hidden in the temple, I am afraid it has been discovered long ago, so why should it be Jia Sidao's turn to pick it up? He took the root carving and weighed it back and forth in his hand a few times. Except for the image of the Great Asura King, even after the root carving was split into two halves, it was still a bit hideous, and there was nothing special about it. And the piece of chicken blood red jade that made Jia Sidao happy seems to have given Jia Sidao a hint. First, the producer knew the high value of this piece of jade and wanted to hide it in the root carving; second, that is to say, there is a certain connection between this piece of jade and the address painted on the paper; It is a temporary joke used by people to fool future generations.

Jia Sidao thought about it, and felt that the second point is more realistic. As far as the first point is concerned, the texture of this red jadeite has indeed reached the level of ice species, and the color of chicken blood red is very bright. People can't help but like it when they look at it, especially for women, if they suddenly see such a red jadeite, they will be even more beautiful.However, when it comes to its value and market circulation, the red jadeite of the ice variety is naturally inferior to the green jadeite of the glass variety.Moreover, it is still such a small thing, Jia Sidao pondered, it should not be necessary to make a root carving to preserve it.

In particular, there is also an inexplicable "picture" stored in it. On the contrary, the third point is quite possible. There were many interesting people in ancient China. Although modern people occasionally play some pranks, who can guarantee that the ancient people would not? If not, wouldn't there be a root carving in the shape of a big Asura, right? Jia Sidao put away the paper and the small piece of red jadeite, and split the root carving again.At least, the existence of the hollow part in the middle was concealed.Then, of course, I plan to find someone who is familiar with root carvings after I go back, and ask about the year when this thing was made.

Only when its age is determined, let's see what kind of "Shenlong Temple" was there at that time.Regardless of whether there is any secret hidden on this paper, since he encountered it, Jia Sidao pondered, even if it took a little time to unravel it, it would be a very interesting thing. Collection, isn't it just fun to play? Early the next morning, Jia Sidao came to the antique market in Shenhou. The place is not very big, but it is also lively, especially there are many stalls selling porcelain.However, after Jia Sidao hastily looked at several houses, from his point of view, most of these things belong to tourism products, and looking at the crowds around, Jia Sidao can only be He smiled wryly and fell silent.

If there are any customers, there will be such products. Not to mention the popularity, what special changes will it bring to the antique fair? The hawkers who are selling things on the mountain are still very happy to see such a scene. Moreover, things are easy to sell when they meet people who don’t know how to do it. Well, especially those novices who have only a half-knowledge and don’t understand everything, as long as they make an old thing that matches their cognition in a certain place, they will one-sidedly think that this thing is right and should be picked up by themselves If it is missed, the price will definitely make the peddlers smile.

Seeing that both the seller and the buyer are almost cheerful, even some fake things, commonly known as 'high-end goods', can be sold at a good price.The satisfaction of the buyer was beyond words, so Jia Sidao had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and search for it in this antique market. Amoy things, pay attention to the word "洗". In those shops, Jia Sidao is not interested in watching them yet.The things there are either outrageous, or they are aimed at tourists, and they are marked as modern products, or they are sold on the basis of similarity or exquisite appearance.

For such a store, Jia Sidao is naturally happy to agree, neither cheating nor cheating, even if the price is a little inflated, but the buyer knows that what he wants to buy is to explain things, just like buying some ordinary handicrafts. There are not so many false elements in it. Of course, Jia Sidao will not only be satisfied with tourism products, but keep it as a souvenir or something.Relatively speaking, those open-air small stalls may better reflect the true taste of the word "洗" for collectors! After walking a few steps, I saw a middle-aged woman in plain attire, holding a mirror in her hand, with a slightly anxious expression, standing on the edge of a hawker stall and looking around, her rather disturbed appearance was naturally It aroused Jia Sidao's curiosity.

As soon as she approached, the middle-aged woman saw that someone finally came, and after handing out the mirror in her hand, she said: "The child in the family is studying at a university in Zhejiang, and he didn't come back during the summer vacation. I want to work part-time to earn a few living expenses, which will be used for the postgraduate entrance examination. However, as parents, how can we know in advance that the child will go to the postgraduate entrance examination? There is a bronze mirror under it, and I want to come and sell it to see if I can raise the tuition fees for the second half of the year.”

Jia Sidao looked at the mirror in his hand, and saw that the mirror surface of this bronze mirror was still quite covered with paste, perhaps because it was not properly stored, it was slightly damaged and not very complete, as for the back of the mirror and the The surroundings around the edge are shining brightly, fully showing the color of the bronze mirror, and the expression is relatively natural. The so-called "mirror button-hyun pattern", from the point of view of workmanship, belongs to the typical Liao and Jin crafts, especially the two fish on the back of the mirror, which belong to relief, which is the impression of ancient mirrors that Jia Sidao is not very perfect. Examples are quite rare. While playing with it, Jia Sidao asked seemingly unintentionally: "Sister, what university does your child study in Xijiang?" "Hey, you're still afraid that I'm lying. My daughter is very competitive. She is studying at Xijiang University of Science and Technology in Hangzhou." The middle-aged woman saw Jia Sidao looking at her bronze mirror, as if she wanted to buy it. , there was a slight smile on his face, and he said, "My daughter's grades in school are very good. In their class, there were only two students who could get on the key line. If it weren't for me, I used a girl to think about it while studying." When we are in the sea, we will go to the coast first to see the world, and her old man and I don't want her to go to Xijiang. By the way, little brother, how much do you think this mirror is worth?" "This?" Jia Sidao gestured to the bronze mirror in his hand, and said, "I don't know very well, I have confiscated the bronze mirror." Jia Sidao told the truth, and from the tone of the middle-aged woman, she seemed very familiar with Hangzhou Polytechnic University.Speaking of which, although Jia Sidao is an authentic Zhejiang native, he has only heard the name of this university. Others are not very clear. "If I can sell it for six or seven thousand, I'll make it." After hearing Jia Sidao's words, the middle-aged woman seemed a little disappointed, "If not, it's not enough to plug the hole of funds anyway, and it's meaningless to sell it. Why don’t you go to a relative’s house and borrow some first.” "Hehe, if the thing is right, six or seven thousand is not a problem." Jia Sidao comforted him, and, weighing the bronze mirror in Yang's hand, if it is really the Pisces mirror in the Liao Jin bronze mirror, it should be able to Seeing the price in units of 4,000, "Well, if you really need money urgently, I'll accept 5,000 yuan, how about it?" "Five thousand is too little, at least six thousand five." The middle-aged woman said. "Then let me think about it more carefully." Jia Sidao was examining it, when a person came over and said, "Ah, Pisces Mirror? This is a good thing." As he spoke, he moved closer to Jia Sidao , Wanting to pass, Xu Shi saw that Jia Sidao was still watching, so he retracted his hand embarrassingly, and asked the middle-aged woman: "Big sister, how much is this thing?" "Sister, I'm sorry, this little brother is looking at this." The middle-aged woman's answer was very kind. Jia Sidao looked up at the person who came, she was also a woman, but she was obviously older than the owner of the bronze mirror, seeing her tone of voice, Jia Sidao thought in his heart, what should I do? Didn't you meet someone who knows how to do it? Speaking of which, this bronze mirror sells for six thousand and five, which is indeed not expensive. Besides, the owner of the bronze mirror has a simple and honest style in his speech, which makes people appreciate it. Jia Sidao is about to agree. But when he saw the later eldest sister, for a moment, in Jia Sidao's mind, the appearance of the two people in front of him always felt a little alike.
