Counterattack 1988

Chapter 932
Zhou Porridge touched Wang Lin's arm lightly: "Stop molesting other little girls."

Wang Lin smiled: "Look at the antiques!"

He saw a bronze horse ornament, pointed at it and asked Xiaolian, "How much is this?"

Xiao Lian said: "150 million Hong Kong dollars."

Zhou Congee said, "Such a small horse will sell for 150 million?"

There is a product information board next to the bronze horse, on which is written the relevant information of this cultural relic.

This horse is 76 cm long and 62 cm high, and the whole body is cast in gilt bronze. The dynasty is the Han Dynasty.

Xiaolian said: "This is a golden horse from the Han Dynasty, and it is priceless."

Zhou Congee smiled and said, "The priceless city is only 150 million? Why is the city so worthless?"

Xiao Lian was stunned: "When I say priceless, I mean to describe this item as valuable. It's the same as describing a beautiful woman who is all over the country."

Wang Lin carefully looked at the golden horse.

The horse holds its head high, its tail upright, its legs stand upright, its head is very vividly shaped, and its ears are erected.

Zhou Porridge asked, "What kind of horse is this?"

Xiao Lian said: "This is a refined handicraft based on the bloody BMW of Dawan Kingdom in the Han Dynasty."

Wang Lin couldn't see why, he only knew that the shape of the horse was not bad, and the workmanship was exquisite.

"Can the price be lower?" Wang Lin asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't bargain here. Everything is clearly marked." Xiao Lian said.

"150 million? Okay, I bought it." Wang Lin said, "Wrap it up for me! Make it more beautiful, and I'll give it away."

Zhou Congee said in a low voice: "I bought it now? Don't look at other things anymore?"

Wang Lindao: "When you buy something, just talk about your eyes. If you like it, buy it. After shopping around, there will be other better ones, but you can't go wrong with the one you like at first sight."

Zhou Porridge smiled and said, "It's love at first sight!"

Wang Lindao: "Hey, that's what it means. People or things that can be seen at a glance are not much different."

Xiao Lian said: "Mr. is an expert. You will definitely not lose money if you buy this golden horse, and the price will definitely increase in the future."

Wang Lin asked: "Where did you guys come from?"

Xiao Lian said: "We have many ways to buy. This golden horse was left over from before, and it has been in our shop for almost a hundred years."

She was vague and unwilling to elaborate.

Wang Lin thought it involved their commercial secrets, so he didn't want to ask more questions.

He bought the golden horse.

Xiao Lian took out a beautiful gift box and packed the Golden Horse.

She issued an invoice and a receipt, and took out the relevant identification certificate of the golden horse.

Seeing that they were meticulous and rigorous in their work, Wang Lin was relieved.

The scale of this store is very large, and there are countless treasures in it. It is indeed a powerful antique store.

After buying good things, it was getting late and the sun was setting.

The sky is dark late in summer, and the time is almost seven o'clock in the evening.

Wang Lin and Zhou Porridge didn't go for a stroll anymore, and went home immediately.

When Zhou Jun and others heard that Wang Lin bought a golden horse worth 150 million yuan, they all said that they wanted to open their eyes.

Wang Lin and Zhou Jun carried the golden horse into the house, unpacked it, took out the golden horse, and placed it on the table in the living room.

A group of people gathered around and reached out to touch it.

Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "150 million can buy such a big lump of gold, right?"

The price of gold is less than 100 yuan per gram, 5 yuan can buy a catty, and 150 million can buy 30 catties of gold. It is indeed possible to build such a big pure gold horse.

But this horse is said to be a golden horse, but it is made of pure copper, and the outside is gilded, not pure gold.

Zhou Jundao: "This is an antique, which cannot be measured by the current price of gold. Aren't those ancient bronzes and even porcelains also worth a lot?"

"Riding a horse! Riding a horse!" Little Wang Wen clasped his hands on the edge of the table, crying and shouting to ride a golden horse.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Wenwen, this is not a toy, you can't ride this one."

Li Wenxiu said: "What's wrong with giving him a ride? It's not bad! Isn't it a golden horse? It's so big, it's almost like a toy wooden horse, just right for my son to ride."

Knowing that she dotes on her son, Wang Lin saw him crying too much, so he said, "Ride it! Ride it!"

Zhou Jun laughed and said, "This is more expensive than a real horse!"

Wang Lin and Zhou Jun carried the golden horse down.

Before they could stabilize, Wang Wen rushed over, stretched out his hand to climb the golden horse, and raised his leg to step up.

Fortunately, both Wang Lin and Zhou Jun paid attention, so they didn't miss and fall.

Wang Wen sat on the horse, imitating the people in the movie to ride and drive, and patted the horse's back with his hands.

Zhou Changgong saw it from the side, and also shouted to ride a horse.

Li Wenxiu smiled and said: "Longbow, you have to line up, wait for Wenwen to come down, and then you can ride."

The horse's back is clean and smooth, and there is no saddle and horse decoration, so it is just right to be a toy for children.

Wang Wen and Zhou Changgong had such a great time playing together that they were not interested in other toys and only wanted to play horseback riding.

The adults were afraid that they would fall, so they kept supporting the horse.

After the two little guys got tired of riding, Wang Lin put away the golden horse.

Next to the living room is a table for miscellaneous items, which is just used to display the golden horse.

The next morning, Wang Lin was soundly asleep when he suddenly heard a loud noise from below.

Wang Lin woke up with a start, not knowing what happened, so he hurried downstairs to check.

Li Wenxiu and the others had already woken up, some were washing up, some were preparing breakfast, and after hearing the loud noise, they all ran to the living room to have a look.

"Wow——" Wang Wen cried loudly in the living room.

When Wang Lin went downstairs, he saw his son half lying on the table crying.

The golden horse bought yesterday was originally placed on the table, but it fell to the ground at this moment.

Needless to say, it was the little guy who wanted to ride a horse, so he moved the stool to climb up on the table, and then pushed the golden horse down.

Wang Wen knew that he had done something wrong, so he cried loudly first, so that the adults only paid attention to his emotions and would not blame him for bringing down the golden horse.

Li Wenxiu ran over with big strides, picked up her son and looked up, down, left, and right: "Wenwen, are you alright?"

Zhou Jun and others all surrounded him.

"Hey, Wenwen pushed it down? Could it be? He has such great strength?" Zhou Porridge and the others found it inconceivable.

Wang Lindao: "This horse stands on four legs, and it can indeed be pushed down if pushed."

Zhou Jun said: "This horse's neck is broken! 150 million! What a pity!"

Wang Lin also saw the broken horse's neck, and couldn't help being startled.

Shen Xue said: "Isn't this made of pure copper? Why is it so easy to break?"

Wang Lin also felt strange, did he buy a fake?

He squatted down, straightened the horse's body, picked up the horse's head, looked carefully, and said with a smile: "So the horse's head and the horse's body are separate and can be put on."

Wang Lin aimed the horse's neck at the hole in the horse's body and pressed it in. The two were stuck together, and they were tightly stitched again.

"Hey, it's really good!" Zhou Jun laughed, "The ancients did a good job of this craft!"

Wang Lin twisted the horse's head a few more times and took it off.

Wang Wen ran over and wanted to ride a horse.

Wang Lin was about to put the horse's head back, but the horse's body was pushed to the ground by his son again.

Inside the horse's body, there was a faint sound.

Wang Lin lifted the horse, pointed the gap at the ground and fell down.

A few bamboo slices poured out of it.

Wang Lin was surprised.

He put down the golden horse and picked up the bamboo to look at it.

Zhou Jun and the others also squatted down and said with a smile, "What is this?"

Wang Lin looked at the writing on the bamboo piece and said, "This is a bamboo slip from the Han Dynasty."

"Bamboo slips from the Han Dynasty? Can they be kept for so long?" Zhou Jun asked.

Wang Lin was also puzzled.

Zhou Porridge said: "Bamboo slips can be preserved for a long time. There was no papermaking technology in ancient times, and only bamboo slips were used for writing. After the bamboo slips were finished, they had to be painted with tung oil three times. But the inside of the Golden Horse is empty, and this space is relatively static. No extra air goes in, so it won't oxidize. Preservation for thousands of years is not a problem."

Everyone says that Zhou Congee is really good, and they even know this.

Zhou Porridge said that this is not unpopular knowledge. Didn’t many bamboo slips were unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb?
Wang Lin and Zhou Porridge studied the characters on the bamboo slips, but they could only guess at least a dozen characters, but they didn't know any other characters.

"Who would hide these bamboo slips in the Golden Horse?" Zhou Porridge asked curiously, "Wang Lin, you should keep these bamboo slips well. After returning to Shencheng, let's find an expert to study and see what is written on them. If these bamboo slips It’s really something from the Han Dynasty, that’s a treasure.”

Wang Lin hummed and handed the bamboo slips to her: "Then you keep it!"

Zhou Porridge took it and read it again, but he still couldn't read all the words on it, so he had to give up and take it upstairs to put it away.

Wang Lin looked at the hole on the horse again.

The hole is not big, just enough to put down those bamboo slips.

Wang Lin was even more curious, as if the owner of this golden horse built this golden horse just to store those bamboo slips?

Such a golden horse was also a valuable thing in ancient times. No matter who it falls into, it must be passed down as a decoration or a family heirloom. Only when the family can't uncover the pot will they sell such an ancestral property.And this kind of decoration is generally placed on the antique shelf in the living room, and viewed from a distance, even if someone is careful and can see the faintly visible gap on the neck of the horse, they will only think that it is formed naturally, and will only cherish it more , it is impossible to break it, and it is impossible to think that the belly of a horse is hollow.

Therefore, the bamboo slips in Jinmali have been safely preserved to this day.

What kind of secrets are hidden in these bamboo slips?

Wang Lin put the golden horse's head on and let his son play with it for a while.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Wang Lin's family took the golden horse to Tang Jixian's mansion to visit He Sheng.

The Tang Mansion is full of guests and friends.

As soon as Wang Lin's car arrived, the brothers and sisters of the Tang family came to greet him.

When Tang Yan saw Wang Lin, she smiled slightly, her eyes never leaving him.

Wang Lin and Uncle Zhong brought out the golden horse and presented it to Tang Jixian.

This gift is big and eye-catching.

Tang Yan asked: "Wang Lin, what are you giving? Such a big thing!"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "We went out to play yesterday and saw something on Hollywood Road. I thought it was good and bought it. It happened that today is Uncle Tang's birthday, so I used it to celebrate his birthday."

Tang Jixian asked someone to take it apart, and when he saw it was a golden horse, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Wang Lin, you are too polite! Give me such a big golden horse!"

Wang Lindao: "People cherish each other based on character, respect each other based on virtue, believe in sincerity, embrace each other based on courtesy, accompany each other based on love, meet each other based on love, It is passed down from generation to generation. I wish Tang Bobo the spirit of the dragon and horse, and he will succeed immediately and take the lead."

"What a spirit of a dragon and a horse!" Tang Jixian laughed loudly, stroking the golden horse, and said from left to right, "This is the best gift I have received today!"

After hearing this, the sons and daughters of the Tang family felt uncomfortable, but they had to admit that this gift from Wang Lin was indeed the most precious!
They are all from Xiangjiang, so of course they know that Hollywood Road is an antique street, and this golden horse is simple in shape and exquisite in style, and it is known to be a valuable antique treasure at first glance.

There is an appraisal report issued by Zhenbaoxuan in the package of Jinma, and the recommended retail price is noted on the report.

Tang Yan took it out and looked at it, and said with a smile: "150 million! And it was bought by Zhenbaoxuan, so it must be genuine. Dad, Wang Lin is really generous to you!"

Tang Jixian was even more happy, and the wrinkles on his face were evened out with a smile: "Zhenbaoxuan? That's a century-old store, and their boss and I are still friends! The antiques they sell must be genuine."

It was only then that Wang Lin found out that Zhenbaoxuan was quite famous in Xiangjiang, and he secretly rejoiced that he had bought the right product.

Tang Jixian asked someone to put the golden horse in the most prominent position in the living room.

Tang Wenxian, the eldest daughter of the Tang family, touched the golden horse and said with a giggle, "It's really a good thing! Oh, it's my dad's birthday, and this is the most expensive gift he has ever received."

Tang Jixian smiled and said: "Actually, everyone is so familiar. I'm celebrating my birthday, and I'm very happy if you can come to participate. You don't need to spend money to buy gifts. Okay, everyone, please take a seat! Xiao Yan, you are responsible for receiving Wang Lin's family .”

Tang Yan agreed and invited Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu to sit down.

Wang Wen's eyes were only fixed on the golden horse.

This is his golden horse!
Just send it out?

Li Wenxiu saw his son's reluctance, and was afraid that he would cry out on the spot, so she hurriedly coaxed him, saying that he would buy another Dama for him to play with.

Wang Wen pouted and didn't speak, but he didn't cry or make trouble.

At this time, Zhang Shitao came.

Zhang Shitao was pursuing Tang Yan, so of course he wanted to attend Tang Jixian's birthday banquet, and what he presented was a birthday peach made of gold.

The golden peaches are housed in a transparent glass box, which is also golden, beautiful and dazzling.

When Tang Wenxian saw the golden peach, he immediately let out a giggle: "Zhang Shitao, the golden birthday peach you gave is too inconspicuous compared to the golden horse Wang Lin gave you, isn't it?"

The longevity peach is small, almost like a real peach, I'm afraid it's still hollow, with only a layer of golden skin on the outside.

This kind of gold peach is considered very large if you look at it alone. After all, the gold ornaments are not big. In the gold shop, this gold peach is very eye-catching.

But compared with the golden horse Wang Lin gave, Jintao was completely inconspicuous, not even a horse's leg.

Hearing Tang Wenxian's sarcastic words, Zhang Shitao couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and couldn't say anything.

He saw the golden horse placed in the middle of the antique shelf in the living room, and then looked at the birthday peaches he gave, it was indeed a bit dwarfed by the comparison.

Tang Jixian smiled and said, "Everything is fine, everything is fine! Shitao, please sit down!"

Tang Wenxian smiled and said: "Oh, my third sister, she and Wang Lin were dating before! It's a pity that they didn't get together! If you want me to say, Wang Lin is still generous, don't you think so?"

Everyone just laughed without saying a word.

Li Wenxiu had known some past events between Wang Lin and Tang Yan, so she didn't mind it, and just smiled.

Zhang Shitao came here today, dressed very formally, and also wanted to use today's birthday banquet to propose marriage to the Tang family in person.

I didn't expect that because of a gift, there would be so many disputes.

Now that he is ready to propose, of course he can't give up halfway.

Taking advantage of everyone's presence, Zhang Shitao formally proposed marriage to Tang Jixian.

Tang Jixian looked at his youngest daughter with a smile: "I don't interfere with my children's freedom of marriage. I want to ask Xiaoyan's opinion on this matter. Do you agree?"
