Jianbao life

Chapter 433 Bronze Mirror
Qiang Zhaojun laughed and said, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. Didn't I promise you before that we men spit on a nail, you don't want me to be a villain who doesn't believe me? Besides, before you It also made me tens of millions, the money for a house is really nothing!"

Qiang Zhaojun said so, it would be unreasonable for Chu Chen to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree...

After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen patted himself on the forehead, secretly thinking that he was too careless and didn't know how to get the house ready earlier.

Although there are now well-decorated new houses for sale, they must be near Panjiayuan and have good decoration quality. It is not easy for ordinary people to buy them, and even if they do, the price may not be cheap.

Fortunately, Chu Chen has a lot of information channels now, and Sun Xingnan has a relationship in this regard, so he got in touch with the house with just one phone call, and the price is quite cheap.

Knowing that the formalities can be completed on Monday, Chu Chen also sighed a little. When he first came to the capital, he always felt that relying on others was a sign of incompetence. No matter what things were done by himself, it was considered real ability. Later, after several years It was only when he was a hawker that he realized how naive his thoughts were.

Society is a hodgepodge, some things you can’t do without the help of others, just like the antique business, which is very exclusive, such as buying goods, if you don’t have help from others, you can’t get the right price at all, some good things, Without the introduction of acquaintances, no one will sell to you.

Although these years of hawker career have somewhat smoothed Chu Chen's edges and corners, it has undoubtedly helped him tremendously. At least he no longer rejects asking for help from others.

But even so, Chu Chen still likes to help people but doesn't like to ask for help, until Mr. Liu talked to him, he said:
"Achen, I've been observing you for a while, and I found that you like to rely on your own strength to solve everything. It's good to say that, but you have to think that you still have relatives and friends. Sometimes things can be resolved by relatives You can do it easily with your friends, but you have to rely on your own ability to do it with difficulty."

"Once or twice may be nothing, but often, others will only think you are arrogant and look down on them, so they are unwilling to ask them for help. If things go on like this, it will only alienate others from you."

"If people want to maintain a good friend relationship, both parties need to give a little. In addition to giving, you must also get something from the other party. Even if it is just a reward that is insignificant to you, others will feel very sad. I am happy, I think you treat him as a friend, so that the friendship between you will last forever..."

Ever since hearing what the master said, Chu Chen tried to integrate the meaning into his life, and immediately felt the difference.

Just like the friendship with Liu Sizhe and the others, although there are some factors in his family, if we behaved according to the past, it is impossible for everyone to get along so well in two or three months.

…………

In a blink of an eye, it was Tuesday again. With the overtime work of the construction party, the second floor of the store was finally completed with both quality and quantity. Following the inspection by the person in charge of the construction party, Chu Chen was very satisfied with the decoration and security aspects of the project.

The decoration here is made of environmentally friendly materials. Although there will be some peculiar smell in the room, but put a few charcoal bags and the like, it can be used officially the next day, which just solves the problem of the jade carving master's workplace. The problem.

With nothing to do, Chu Chen drank tea and chatted with Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu in the newly completed reception room on the second floor.

Speaking of which, although Lao Wu has a problem with drinking, it is precisely because of this problem that he has made many drinking friends. Therefore, his news channels are much more than Zhou Wenping's, and Zhou Wenping is serious. With a strong sense of responsibility and the cooperation of the two, Chu Chen is really not afraid that they will screw up his shop.

The three of them chatted all morning. Apart from the store, the fifth child talked a lot about the antique street, who sold it out, who stepped on the "land mine", who picked it up again, etc. I can hear it. Chu Chen felt a little itchy in his heart, so after lunch and rest for a while, he planned to visit Panjiayuan next door.

Today is Tuesday, and there are not many people in the market. Walking among the stalls, Chu Chen sighed in his heart. If he didn't get the power, he might still be one of these hawkers!

In fact, speaking of it, the antique industry is really not big, and the news spreads very quickly. For example, Chu Chen became the closed disciple of Mr. Liu, and it has already been spread among the peddlers who are familiar with him. During that time, he worked as an expert again, and many people knew him, so that the price of the things he liked directly increased.

No way, who told him that he is now both Lao Lao's disciple and an expert. In the eyes of these peddlers, how could the things he likes be bad.

But these people are all good people, and it is impossible to set the price too far. If the price is too expensive, Chu Chen will not buy it, and it will arouse Chu Chen's disgust. It is not something a shrewd businessman would do to do this kind of thing that hurts others and does not benefit oneself.

And as the saying goes, keep a line in life, so that we can meet each other in the future, maybe there will be a time to ask Chu Chen in the future!

Although the price was not outrageous, it still made Chu Chen smile wryly in his heart. In this way, unless the other party took a look at the leaks, it would be impossible to pick up big leaks, and at most it would be possible to pick up small leaks.

Fortunately, Panjiayuan is the most popular antique market in the country. Vendors from all over the country will come here. Not everyone will know him, just like the brass vendor in front of him, Chu Chen has never met before.

"Little brother, what do you want?" The stall owner greeted enthusiastically: "I have everything from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Look at this Tang mirror, which is still used by Yang Yuhuan. How about it? It's beautiful! I like it If so, we can negotiate the price!"

Chu Chen laughed when he saw the bronze mirror in his hand. The decorations are indeed beautiful, but the whole mirror looks shiny and looks like it was pressed by a modern machine. People with a little knowledge, as long as they are not obsessed with money, will generally You can see it all.

Anyway, there was nothing wrong, so Chu Chen laughed and joked: "Dude, you still know Yang Yuhuan, introduce me someday, I haven't seen a real person yet!"

The stall owner smiled awkwardly, and put the bronze mirror back in its place: "Then you can take a look at it casually. If you like it, the price includes your satisfaction!"

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, then lowered his head and looked around at the booth, but there are Yang Yuhuan's mirrors here, and the good things are obviously limited. Bronze mirror.

One of them is a bronze mirror with a handle from the Song Dynasty, which is rare among bronze mirrors from the Song Dynasty.

The ban on copper in the Song Dynasty was relatively strict, so the reflection on the bronze mirrors was not as thick as the Han and Tang bronze mirrors, and the mirror walls were thinner, and the alloy technology of the Song Dynasty was not as good as the previous bronze mirrors, and the decorations also showed fuzzy decorations, thick lines, and not smooth. Features, especially some very simple bronze mirrors made in the late Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty, have almost no aesthetics at all.

However, the bronze mirror with a handle in front of Chu Chen's eyes is unusual. This mirror is round, has no buttons, has a rectangular handle, and has a narrow and plain mirror edge.The main decoration on the mirror surface is a fairy tortoise and crane picture, and the decoration is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower.

In the upper part, the bright moon is in the sky, surrounded by osmanthus trees, with vigorous and dense branches; in the middle part, an immortal sits under the tree, an attendant stands on the right, and a crane on the left spreads its wings and bows its head;

Bronze mirrors with exquisite patterns like this are quite rare in the Song Dynasty, and it is still a bronze mirror with a handle. Its appearance has a great influence on future generations, and even many modern glass mirrors with handles are also references to Song mirrors. It can be said to be quite rare and precious.

But it is a pity that this mirror has been dropped before or what happened. The mirror is broken into three pieces, and the repairer is not skilled enough, which makes the mirror look really bad.

Chu Chen frowned and carefully looked at the repaired place. From the repaired place, it can be seen that the mirror has not been damaged for a long time, and the glue used for repairing should not be stubborn, that is to say There is also the possibility of remediation.

If it is repaired to perfection, the value of this rare Song Dynasty fairy mirror with a handle, not to mention [-]% of the original value, is still [-]% to [-]%.

Putting down the bronze mirror in his hand, Chu Chen looked at the other bronze mirrors again, but none of them interested him until the last bronze mirror finally aroused his interest.

What aroused Chu Chen's interest was nothing but the size of this bronze mirror, which was a full 36 centimeters.

Ancient bronze mirrors can be divided into three sizes: large, medium and small.Small copper mirrors are generally 3-8 cm in size, small and light, and can be tied around the waist with a rope to carry around.Medium-sized bronze mirrors are 10-14 cm in size, relatively thick and exquisite, and are usually placed on the mirror stand or on the wall, and are stored in an elegant mirror dome after use.

Large-scale bronze mirrors are dressing mirrors, which are generally relatively rare and are mostly used by nobles in the palace. Bronze mirrors like this 36 cm are quite rare.

It's just a pity that red paint was painted on the mirror, and it was hard to tell what was on it. Chu Chen guessed that it might be that period of time. He was afraid of being regarded as the "four olds", so he painted red paint to cover it up.

Others couldn't see the content inside, but they couldn't help Chu Chen. He directly used Lingbao Eye on the bronze mirror, and when the patterns under the red mirror were displayed in front of him, his heart began to beat violently. , and couldn't help showing a trace of surprise on his face.

Fortunately, after his trip to England, his ability to control this kind of accident has greatly increased. In just a short moment, he has controlled this emotion. In addition, he is covered by the large bronze mirror in front of him. The stall owner didn't notice Chu Chen's strange expression at all.
