Chapter 320 Turns Out to Be a Little Rich Woman
After coming out of the city bureau, Chen Yanguang took a long stretch facing the blue sky outside.
He turned back to look at Zhang Yang who followed him, and smiled contemptuously with a crooked mouth:
"City Public Security Bureau, that's it?"
"It's not like last time. When I was in Qiu Mingshan, the police station put a lot of pressure on me!"
"Hahaha, you are really tough." Zhang Yang scoffed mercilessly, "Captain Liu asked me just now, how come you are more cautious than a suspect when you are a witness and record a testimony? It always makes people think that you are Did it too."
"It's really shameful that you keep talking about contacting a lawyer."
"Slander, it's definitely slander." Chen Yanguang said firmly, "Because Captain Liu has to do business, we can't disturb him, otherwise I will definitely take you to confront him."
"Okay, okay, I believe it." Zhang Yang nodded and chose to obey the other party.
By the time the two of them returned to the studio, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Yang originally planned not to broadcast live, but planned to treat Chen Yanguang and his wife to a casual dinner.
Unexpectedly, he was very busy, and there was a dinner party to discuss business in the evening, so he left in a hurry.
"Boss, are we off work too?" Xu Jie was recommended and asked Zhang Yang.
"After get off work? Did you go to work today?" Zhang Yang snorted lightly and raised his fingers at Brother Jie, "Tell me, which one of you told Chen Yanguang about my blind date first?"
"Yes..." Xu Jie glanced at the two ladies, but was immediately stared back, "It's me."
"Hahaha, okay." Zhang Yang nodded, patted Xu Jie on the shoulder, and made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go then, fellow broadcaster, our live broadcast task today is not completed yet."
"Okay." Xu Jie nodded heavily.
There is no way, who makes him owe the other two favors.
…
Ten minutes later, Master Zhang came online after applying makeup.
[Let me go, this point is online, who is this? 】
[Just arrived, caught up with the live broadcast]
[I thought the host would have to skip work again]
[If I can broadcast for three hours today, I can watch the live broadcast while eating]
"I haven't asked for leave for you, how could you not come?" Zhang Yang smiled at the camera.
"Okay, I'm late today, so let's not waste time chatting."
"Welcome our first treasure friend now."
After connecting to the microphone, Baoyou's first shot showed three long wooden boxes.
Placed side by side on the table, it looked like it contained his collection.
Before starting the appraisal, Baoyou not only greeted Zhang Yang very politely, but also asked in advance:
"Teacher, can you read the gun?"
"What kind of gun? The kind that shoots out a cold light first and then shoots out like a dragon? Or the kind that I bet your gun has no bullets in it?"
If it was the latter, Zhang Yang was actually a little panicked.
If you fail to register in advance, the live broadcast room may be forced to go offline.
"No, to be precise, it's a firecracker."
"Oh, you can see the firecrackers, no problem."
Zhang Yang looked at the three boxes on the table. If they contained firecrackers, the size would be reasonable.
"Come on, come on, this is the first time we've seen something like this in the live broadcast room. I'm a little curious."
As long as one of the three fire blunderbuss is authentic, it is the best slicing material.
"Let's look at the most expensive one I bought first."
Baoyou opened the outermost box and found a black metal gun placed on the yellow brocade cloth inside.
"Let me introduce this thing."
"I bought this from an auction in Xiangjiang. It is made of a solid wrought iron rod drilled through holes."
"Here at the rear is the trigger, which is made of brass; in the middle is the front sight; and in the front is the muzzle where the gunpowder and projectiles go."
"There is an inscription on the back, which is silver-plated. It says [Admiral Cao, Supervisor of Military Affairs and Supervisor of Bureau Factory] [Court of the King of Supervisors of Manufacturing]."
"The meaning of this string of words should be that it was made by craftsmen working for Eunuch Cao, the admiral of the Military Staff Bureau."
"The Wang Zhichen who supervised the construction was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Wanli. He once managed Liaodong with Yuan Chonghuan..."
Baoyou really knows a lot, Zhang Yang doesn’t even know the information behind these names.
Even for the unknown craftsman who carved the carving, he found evidence on other auction items from earlier years that he was a master of the Military Staff Bureau.
The most awesome thing is that Baoyou also studied the three Sanskrit characters on the gun.
It is said to be [Om Ah Hum], the fundamental mantra of Vajradhara (ie Samantabhadra) of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.
"Awesome!" Zhang Yang expressed his knowledge, "The fundamental mantra of Samantabhadra is one of the great compassion mantras that can eliminate serious crimes and eliminate evil."
"This firecracker was originally used to physically save people."
[One shot is a true physical transcendence]
[This shot is called Good Night]
[Trivia, it’s hard to kill someone with a single shot from a firecracker]
[Good guy, what is Namo Amitabha Gatling]
[It turns out that what netizens are playing now are all leftovers from the ancients]
"Hahaha." After hearing Zhang Yang's explanation, Baoyou couldn't hold back his laughter. He pointed at the pattern on the barrel and said, "There is also tweed on it, the Ming Dynasty version of Guns and Roses."
"The scientific name of this thing, according to my research, should be called Lumi Gun. It was modified by Ming Dynasty craftsmen on the basis of fire guns introduced from the Lumi Empire (Ottoman Turkish Empire)."
"Is that so? That makes sense." Zhang Yang nodded.
Just talk about how this gun is completely different from the fire gun of the Ming Dynasty!
Seeing that Baoyou was silent, he asked further:
"Are there any missing knowledge points?"
"It should be gone." Baoyou shook his head, "I just wanted the teacher to see if there is anything wrong with it."
"No problem, this is the Iron Fire Gun of the late Ming Dynasty. I have learned a lot today."
Zhang Yang wished that every brother who appraised treasures could do the same homework as this treasure friend, so that at least he would not receive things that were obviously inconsistent with historical facts.
As a treasure appraisal anchor, he can relax and just watch the excitement with the barrage.
"Teacher, don't say that. I'm here to discuss it with you." Baoyou quickly added, fearing that Zhang Yang would make sarcastic remarks.
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it." Zhang Yang nodded and asked curiously, "How many meters did you spend on this kind of firecracker?"
"Fifty W's."
"Is it so expensive?" Zhang Yang was a little surprised by the price.
Although there is a signature on the fire gun, it can be guaranteed that it is a treasure of the "official kiln".
But among the fire guns that have been passed down from the Ming Dynasty to the present, none of them have a provenance. Even the Yongle fire guns that have been unearthed the most were owned by the famous Shenji Camp.
Zhang Yang didn't think it was worth half a million for such a silver-plated iron gun.
"The market is asking for this price now. After all, it is from the Ming Dynasty." Baoyou explained.
Judging from his appearance, he should be aware of it, or he is not short of money and does not care about the premium issue.
"Okay, let's take a look at the remaining two items."
Zhang Yang didn't hesitate, he just used the barrage to learn knowledge today.
"There are two left, and I haven't studied them that deeply."
Baoyou said as he opened the second box.
Inside is a bamboo-shaped fire gun, which is the most common style of fire gun in the Yuan and Ming dynasties.
The bronze outer skin of the gun body and the green patina on the muzzle prove that this copper gun is not made of a single material.
The words "God bless Bingshen, cast by Zhu Mansion" are written on the handle.
It means that this is a fire gun made by the Zhu family in the Bingshen year of the Yuan Dynasty (1356 AD).
But the actual production time is 2014.
"Teacher, is there any problem with this?"
"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded and told Baoyou, "The prototype of your thing is on display in the Yuhang Museum. I just visited it last month and was very impressed."
"Isn't it written that it was made by Zhu Mansion? At that time, a tourist said that it was made by Zhu Yuanzhang's family, which made everyone laugh..."
"This piece of yours is a complete replica. It's a bit like a tabletop ornament bought from a cultural and creative store. It usually has a seat underneath and is placed on the table like a cannon."
"Ah?" Baoyou didn't seem to expect that Zhang Yang could see so quickly, and couldn't help but question, "If it's an ornament, it won't be embroidered with green, right? Isn't a brand-new one more expensive?"
"Of course the ones with patina are more expensive. What do you think? It has aging and rusting craftsmanship, so it will definitely cost more."
"But when I bought it, the seller said it was passed down from ancestors..." Baoyou was still stubborn.
"What is it passed down from ancestors? This is something from the Yuan Dynasty. The seller's ancestors were soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty? Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang finish tutu for them?"
"If you don't believe it, just search the Yuhang Museum's collection. The things should still be there. Whether it's the rust color or the color of copper oxidation, their genuine items are more natural than yours, without any trace of chemicals."
Zhang Yang even said that he asked Baoyou to search the Internet by himself, which was like putting food in his mouth.
Baoyou finally stopped talking so hard now and agreed to take a good look at it for himself.
[Why are there inscriptions on the firecrackers?]
[It shows that the ancients also liked carving]
[This is to leave a mark on valuables. What if they are stolen? 】
"Answer the barrage question."
"These inscriptions are really not marks left for fear of being stolen. They are evidence left by the craftsmen when they were casting. If something goes wrong, you will be held accountable."
Although firecrackers had appeared on the battlefield as early as the Yuan Dynasty, until the Qing Dynasty, the chambers of firecrackers were still handmade by master craftsmen.
So strictly speaking, every firecracker is different.
And if this kind of powerful firearm is faulty in its construction, it will be a suicide weapon.
Therefore, the name of the craftsman must be left behind to facilitate accountability if something goes wrong. It is also a psychological comfort for those who use firecrackers.
The craftsman carved his life on the fire gun. What else would the fire gun soldiers not dare to use?
"But that's not necessarily true, right?" Baoyou questioned Zhang Yang again.
This time it was aimed at his explanation about the signature on the fire gun.
It turned out that on Baoyou’s third collection, there were four traditional Chinese characters written in regular script: “Promote our country’s prestige”.
"This can't be the name of a craftsman, right?"
"Of course, but you don't need to worry about who made this fire gun." Zhang Yang asked Baoyou to look at the muzzle of the fire gun, "Is it the same as new?"
"really……"
"So, this is not a practical object. It is a modern decoration. It was probably given to some warlord or official." Zhang Yang explained.
Giving weapons as gifts has been a Chinese tradition for hundreds of years.
Cold weapons like swords can be used as gifts, and so can firearms.
However, this kind of collectible firecracker was only a flash in the pan throughout history, because it was quickly completely replaced by pistols.
"Then this thing isn't worth much either." Baoyou sighed.
He didn't expect that among his three things, only the one he bought at a high price from the auction was genuine.
The original fantasy of picking up leaks was severely hit.
"Don't be discouraged, treasure friend. Thank you very much for bringing us this precious collection to display."
"It is precisely because of collectors like you that many national treasures living among the people will not be buried."
Zhang Yang suddenly changed from his usual humorous tone, and his words were very positive.
Baoyou thought this was a yin and yang between him and him.
Xu Jie, who looked at the monitor, was also shocked and thought to himself, what's wrong with the boss?
Isn’t this the time when I should tell my treasure friends, don’t buy randomly if you don’t understand, and don’t give money to fake antique dealers?
Just when Xu Jie was confused, Zhang Yang had already connected to the next treasure friend of Lian Mai.
"Hello, Master Zhang!"
The speaker was a girl with a sweet voice.
At the other end of the video, there is a rolled scroll on the table.
Xu Jie inexplicably felt that the woman's voice sounded familiar.
When he looked at his boss again, why did his face suddenly burst into laughter?
Even if Lianmai gets a girl, as for being so happy...
Of course Zhang Yang was happy because it was Shen Shuyu who spoke in the video.
He just received a message from Miss Shen, saying that she had gone to the hospital to see her grandfather, Master Ma, and it was nothing serious. It was a false alarm.
After discovering that Zhang Yang was live broadcasting, Shen Shuyu immediately said that he also had treasures to show him.
It should be the painting on the table.
"Hello, little sister, what treasure did you bring?"
"This is a painting my grandpa gave me for my birthday last year. I would like to ask an expert to help me take a look at it."
"No problem, but there is a rule in this live broadcast room. You can only look at half of the picture."
"So when you open it, slow down. If it's more than half a picture, it's a bit insulting, so I won't read it."
【Let you finish pretending】
[I have never seen such a shameless person]
[What kind of family sends paintings on their birthdays?]
[The young lady from a scholarly family? 】
[Zhang Banzhang returns to the battle of rivers and lakes. If he fails, he will withdraw from the battle of rivers and lakes]
"Okay, the first half has a signature, so I'll turn it over from bottom to top."
Shen Shuyu on the other side of the camera slowly unfolded the picture scroll, and the first thing shown was the scene of the skirt fluttering on the ground.
Shen Shuyu suddenly stopped what he was doing and asked with a smile:
"Can you tell whose painting this is?"
"Go a little higher. I'll reiterate it again. I'm half a picture. It must be a half picture."
"Okay." Shen Shuyu replied with a smile, and the scroll continued to push up, revealing the characters' clothing.
It is obviously a palace costume from the Tang Dynasty. The patterns on the clothes are red and green, which are very bright.
Judging from the color, it is obviously not an ancient painting. It may be a painting made with modern pigments.
Zhang Yang stared at this half of the painting, waiting for the item information to emerge.
If Goldfinger couldn't identify this half of the painting, he would be in disgrace today.
Fortunately, the characteristics of this painting were very obvious, and the results were quickly produced.
"Are you... a picture of Tang Dynasty ladies painted by Zhang Daqian in the 1940s?"
Zhang Yang didn't expect that the painting would have such a big influence.
Among modern painters, Zhang Daqian is the best at painting ladies. He learned the technique from the Dunhuang Grottoes.
The guarantee for such a painting now costs two million.
And this was just Shen Shuyu's birthday gift last year. Master Ma would definitely not only give her this painting.
Maybe, Miss Shen is actually a little rich woman?
Zhang Yang remembered what Boss Lan said to him, and suddenly felt that there was God's will in the dark.
