Chapter 516: Imperial Order

The young man hesitated and pondered, really wanting to sell a lot of money, but he was afraid that the high price would make the young man opposite him immediately reject it. It seemed that he was a little interested, but he was obviously very familiar with the old master. The old guy had already concluded that this was a worthless thing and didn't want it. Wouldn't he tell him clearly and persuade him?

While hesitating, the young man looked at the others again, but was surprised to find that the old master and several friends closed their teeth and stopped talking at this time. It was obvious that the young man who spoke up and asked him to make his bid make his decision.

The young man hesitated, and then said tentatively: "This... is... it is a family heirloom, this... it costs at least ten... no no, no, eight... at least eight thousand..."

Old Wu raised his lips and hummed faintly. Zhou Xuan naturally knew what Lao Wu meant. If you want to talk about this porcelain bowl, let alone 80,000, or 800, people don’t want it. There are so many mud impurities on the foundation. You can tell at a glance that it is an official cellar product imitated by the crypt. The quality is still poor. It is easy to see that according to Lao Wu’s understanding of Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan has always seemed extremely mysterious in front of him. Sometimes, it is very naive, but that is words and deeds. When it comes to technical identification in the antique industry, Lao Wu has to admire Zhou Xuan. This young man is not very old, but he is far from being as good as the technology and vision of identification. I really don’t know where he has such talent.

Now Zhou Xuan obviously really thought of this bowl. Did he even misunderstand this bowl? Is this bowl a real thing?

"Eighty thousand?" Zhou Xuan said, then chuckled, "Haha, 80 thousand yuan, have you decided that the price is this?"

The young man was stunned. I wonder what Zhou Xuan meant. Is he saying that the price he offered was cheap or expensive? He was stunned for a moment and offered 80,000 yuan, and he really mustered up the courage to say it. Now that I think about it, Zhou Xuan still thinks that the price he offered was too high. Even himself, I think it was outrageous, but of course it was my current idea. Before coming, I heard my grandfather say that it was extremely valuable, saying that it was priceless. The 80,000 yuan was priceless. Obviously, the distance was not a small difference!

After taking it out, I was thinking in my mind that if this thing could be replaced by millions or even tens of millions, even if the good days came, I would think so. However, after traveling to a few stores, the young man's confidence collapsed by more than 90%, and he had no confidence at all.

Seeing the young man hesitating, Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, 80,000 is 80,000, but I have a request!"

The young man was stunned, then he was happy again and asked quickly: "What are the requirements?"

Zhou Xuan pointed to his bag and the yellow cloth and said, "I'm going to take it back later. You have to give me your bag and cloth!"

"Of course there is no problem with this!" Na Qing was stunned for a moment, then agreed, but he was thinking in his heart, what is the condition? After the bowl was sold, he was throwing this rag in the trash can out of the door. Since he wanted it, he gave it to him by the way, so he would save him more work.

Zhou Xuan turned around and said to Zhou Cangsong: "Dad, come with 80,000 yuan!"

Although Zhou Cangsong didn't know about antiques, he had been in this store for almost a year and had seen a lot with Lao Wu. Judging from Lao Wu's expression, you can tell that this porcelain bowl is a worthless thing. But since his son opened his mouth and wanted to come down, let alone 80,000, or 800,000, and even 800,000,800,000,000,000, and Zhou Cangsong would not say anything to stop him. He never stopped his son's actions because his son has not done any mistakes yet.

However, if you say that you have not done anything wrong, then you will naturally just talk about business matters, and for emotional matters, it is naturally a different matter.

Without saying a word, Zhou Cangsong went directly to the inner room, opened the safe, took out 80,000 yuan, and piled it on the coffee table.

There were eight stacks of coins, and each stack had a paper seal from the bank. Zhou Cangsong took out another banknote tester and spread his hands and said, "You can count it with this banknote test."

Zhou Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Sir, think about it again. The business matters are about trading in person, and ignore the matter. If we have no room for regret after the transaction, you and I will have no room for repentance. Think clearly before making a decision!"

Looking at the eight stacks of bright red banknotes on the table, the young man's eyes shone. Although it was too different from the number before he came, everyone had dreams, and everyone wanted to make a fortune. Whether he could make a fortune was another matter. Now, it was his luck to get 80,000 yuan. After Zhou Xuan asked, the young man quickly replied: "Think about it, think about it!"

"Okay, you sign a sales agreement and inspect the goods. After signing, our business will be completed!" Zhou Xuan then pointed to the sales agreement brought out by the friend and said.

The guy is familiar with things. In the current transactions, except for some pure underground transactions, there will be no formal purchase and sale agreements. Normal business is required, otherwise it will be illegal transactions. When checking, this can prove that the origin is normal.

In the current antique market, the country's crackdown is getting stronger and stronger. The most important thing is to crack down on tomb robbery. The two parties who buy and sell antiques have signed an agreement and leave a copy of their ID card, which can prevent some of the antiques from being stolen and sold.

The young man was naturally not afraid of this. This bowl was indeed passed down from his family. His parents died in a car accident ten years ago. He was raised by his grandfather, but his grandfather suddenly died of cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, all the property in the family belongs to him and he can make the decision. However, the family is already barely barred and there is nothing at all. Grandpa showed him this thing when he was very young. He didn't take it out for him easily when he grew up. After his grandfather rescued him in the hospital, he woke up for a few minutes but couldn't speak anymore. He just grabbed his chest. After his grandfather died, he had a key in his underwear pocket on his chest, which was the key on the iron lock on the big cabinet that he treasured at home.

The deal between Zhou Xuan and the young man was in a corner of the store. The scene even attracted two other customers, the rich woman and the old man, standing and watching them at this moment.

The young man was very anxious and filled in the purchase and sale agreement. Finally, he signed his name below, and Zhou Cangsong pushed the ink box again.

The young man didn't hesitate and pressed his thumb in the ink, then pressed his own name on the agreement. A bright red fingerprint was printed on the name, and then he asked Zhou Xuan: "Are you okay?"

"Okay!" Zhou Xuan smiled, then pointed to the pile of cash on the table and said, "These money is yours now!" After that, he turned to Zhou Cangsong and said, "Dad, take out one of the briefcases in the store and give it to this gentleman to pretend money!"

Zhou Cangsong responded, then went to the inner room and took out a straight briefcase. The young man didn't understand very much, but the others were not blind. The briefcase had a good leather and was worth at least a few thousand yuan. Even if it was brand new, he could not change to this one for one hundred.

Zhou Xuan took the bag from his father, then handed it to the young man, smiling and signaling to pretend to be the money. The young man did not check the authenticity of the money on the banknote detector, but put it directly in the bag, zipped it up, then hugged it tightly in his arms, stood up and was about to leave.

Zhou Xuan Xiaoxiao again instructed: "Don't be so anxious, be careful. It's best to take a taxi and go home directly. You can also go to the bank. Don't take the bus!"

Seeing that this young man was indeed not like a rich man, the 80,000 yuan made him so excited that he was overwhelmed. Zhou Xuan couldn't help but remind him to avoid being robbed or stolen on the road. That would be unprofitable. After the transaction in the store was completed, no matter what happened to his money, it had nothing to do with the store.

The young man responded "yes" and rushed out of the store quickly, Zhou Xuan just smiled and shook his head.

After the young man passed, Zhou Xuan picked up the agreement and looked at it. The young man signed the three names of the words "Chen Yuanlei". He smiled, and then handed it to his father and said, "Dad, let it go."

Old Wu stared at Zhou Xuan, very puzzled, and then took the bowl into his hand and looked at it carefully. After a while, he shook his head. In his opinion, this bowl was undoubtedly a valuable imitation of crypts. Although it has been over a hundred or tens of years, it has no value at all.

Zhou Xuan smiled. In the store, except for a few guys looking at him, the rich woman and the old man also looked at him, wanting to see what Zhou Xuan said.

Zhou Xuan smiled without saying a word, then wrapped the porcelain bowl with the yellow cloth, then carried the broken bag into the inner room, and said to Lao Wu as he walked, "Old Wu, come in and talk."

This obviously means that I don’t want outsiders to know that the rich woman and the old man couldn’t watch this scene. I don’t know which Zhou Xuan performed, but it’s their own business that they don’t want to show it in front of them. I immediately turned around and looked at the items on the shelves and still looked at the goods.

Old Wu and Zhou Cangsong followed into the inner room. Zhou Xuan pointed to the seat with a smile and said, "Sit down and talk."

Old Wu and Zhou Cangsong both sat down, followed Fu Ying and sat down next to Zhou Xuan, trying to figure out what Zhou Xuan meant.

Zhou Xuan opened the yellow cloth, placed the porcelain bowl on the table, and then said with a smile: "Old Wu, take a look!"

Zhou Cangsong specially turned on the headlights in the inner room, which were bright and illuminated, and could see everything clearly, even a single hair could see clearly.

Old Wu was very surprised. Zhou Xuan's meaning undoubtedly showed that he bought this bowl without any target, but with profound meaning. Otherwise, how could he let out 80,000 yuan in random money?

Even if Zhou Xuan is rich, 80,000 yuan is worth nothing, not much, but he will not be like a drop in the bull market, but he will not be so casual. He is not a philanthropist, and the only thing he can explain is that this thing is valuable, at least it is definitely worth more than 80,000 yuan.

Old Wu pondered for a moment, then pushed the cloth apart, took the bowl into his hand, and looked at the light carefully, but the result was still the same as before, and he was indeed not wrong!

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Old Wu, you are indeed right. The bowl is just made from the crypt of the Qing Dynasty, which is not valuable. I mean..." As he said that, he pointed to the piece of yellow cloth.

Old Wu was stunned. Zhou Xuan bought it for 80,000 yuan, which is actually this thing?

When doing business, Lao Wu has always been smart and sharp-eyed. When many antiques are sold, antiques are not valuable, but boxes or other things that contain antiques are truly valuable. Lao Wu has encountered many such things, so he has always paid more attention to these things.

The young man just opened the bag and took out the yellow cloth bag. Old Wu noticed that the yellow cloth is an ordinary yellow weaving cloth in the countryside. It’s nothing strange, but Zhou Xuan said that there is something wrong with the yellow cloth. What is the reason?

Old Wu was stunned and quickly took the yellow cloth into his hand. The yellow cloth was about one meter horizontally, but only forty centimeters vertically. Look at the quality of the cloth, it is indeed ordinary, and the weaving head on the edge is tight. What is surprising about such a piece of yellow cloth?

Lao Wu looked at it for a while and couldn't tell the reason. This was just an ordinary piece of weaving cloth, not surprising at all.

Old Wu pondered for a while, then gently placed the cloth on the table, and asked, "Xiao Zhou, I am really clumsy and can't tell anything strange about this cloth. The edges of this cloth are woven tightly, the thickness of the cloth is not high, and there is no interlayer. What's strange about it? Don't keep it a secret, just tell me!"

Zhou Xuan smiled, then took a pair of scissors and cut it down at the two or three parts of the weaving edge of the yellow cloth. After cutting out the head, he handed the yellow cloth to Lao Wu again and said with a smile: "Look at it again!"

Old Wu was stunned and quickly took the cloth and looked carefully along the place where Zhou Xuan cut it. When he looked, he really saw the name. The place where Zhou Xuan cut it, he could see on the weaving mouth that although the cloth was not thick, after cutting it, he could see that it was stained with two extremely thin yellow cloth above and below.

Lao Wu immediately separated the two layers of joints slowly. The two layers of cloth were obviously stained with glue, and they were clinging to each other like a layer of cloth. They couldn't find out when touched from the outside.

Gently tear the two layers of cloth apart, and only three or four points were torn. Suddenly, a yellow cloth appeared in the middle. The surfaces on both sides of the cloth were covered with ultra-thin film to prevent the glue from being dirty.

When Lao Wu saw the yellow cloth exposed in the middle, he felt nervous. The yellow cloth was not an ordinary yellow cloth, but brocade yellow. In ancient times, it was a forbidden object and was only allowed to be used by officials, that is, the emperor's family. Ordinary people or rich gentry dared not use it, because brocade yellow can only be worn by the emperor alone, and it is a dragon robe.

However, the ones sandwiched in this cloth layer obviously cannot be a dragon robe, because the size is definitely inconsistent. This capacity cannot accommodate a dragon robe, but there is another thing that can accommodate it.

That is the "Imperial Order"!

The imperial edict was an order or remark from the emperors of the feudal society in the old era. It was a symbol of the different manifestations of power in ancient emperors. The object of the issuance of edicts, that is, the officials' ranks are different, and the differences between imperial edicts are also different. Usually, the first rank is jade as the axis, the second rank is black rhino horn as the axis, the third rank is gold-mounted shaft, the fourth rank is black cow horn as the axis, and the fourth rank is black cow horn as the axis, and the imperial edict is also different. It is made of silk, brocade and satin made of good silk. The imperial edict is generally embroidered with different patterns, most of which are auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes. The richer the color of the imperial edict, it indicates that the higher the level of the officials who were conferred.

When Old Wu saw a small piece of Huang Jin exposed, he was already shocked!

He naturally saw a lot of imperial edicts from ancient emperors, but most of them were gifts from ordinary officials, and not many imperial edicts from super-class officials were seen. On this brocade, the rich patterns on the fonts of official script and brocade can be seen from the near-transparent film. Even if you only see such a corner, Lao Wu's hands were already trembling.

The richness of the pattern shows that this imperial edict is for a super first-class official. Although Lao Wu has not yet verified the authenticity of the authenticity, the brocade exposed in the middle makes him tremble. The brocade is absolutely not fake. Moreover, from this hidden method, 99% of the imperial edict is real, otherwise how could it be hidden so deeply?

Even a veteran like him can’t tell. I really don’t know how Zhou Xuan knew?

At this time, Wuxia thought about how Zhou Xuan discovered the problem with this thing, but carefully and carefully separated the yellow cloth until the yellow cloth was completely exposed, and even if there was a layer of film, the brilliant brocade yellow color was very dazzling.

Lao Wu slowly peeled off the film. It took nearly half an hour to do so. After half an hour, a complete brocade of official script imperial edicts lay on the table.

Zhou Xuan recognized a large part of the fonts in neat form of official script, one part is the same as the current simplified characters, the other part is traditional, and some traditional characters are recognized, and some traditional characters are not recognized. However, the initial examples are: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor's system says, seeking governance is to follow the good teachings in the people-friendly officials...", etc., and also, the words "Obai" and other words in the middle part behind are also recognized.

But when he saw the word "Obai", Zhou Xuan was surprised. This person was very famous and had a deep impression. He was mainly derived from Jin Yong's book "The Deer and the Cauldron" that he had read in his youth. This was a powerful official in the court and the opposition during his youth. Zhou Xuan was not familiar with history and did not know much. His main impression of him was from this novel.

But this is a novel, it is fiction, but Zhou Xuan also understood that for example, Wei Xiaobao is fictional, and most of the plots about history are half true and half false. When Zhou Xuan first started to detect it, he had already learned that it was an imperial edict, but he did not look at the words on it in detail. He did not expect that it was an imperial edict given to Oboi by Kangxi.
