Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 707
You know, in the antique industry, there are very few so-called young people who become famous. Most of them are achieved year by year. Zhao Gang has been able to achieve this level at such a young age, which is simply unheard of.

"Cough cough."

Just as the two of them were about to say something more, Chen Ziqi, who was sitting by the side, let out a dry cough.

"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to introduce you, this is the eldest lady of the Chen family, Chen Ziqi." Duan Tiande slapped his forehead, and introduced them: "This is Zhao Gang, the heroic boy who has just become famous .”

Hearing the Chen family, Zhao Gang's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Hello, Miss Chen."

Chen Ziqi also nodded politely to him: "Hello."

She didn't understand antiques, but she vaguely felt that the young man in front of her had a strange aura, very similar to a person she had seen before.

After Duan Tiande asked the two to sit down, he continued to frown and look at the thing on the coffee table with an uncertain expression.

There is a bright yellow velvet cushion spread out on the coffee table, and on it is a strange awl with a strange shape, the whole body is gilt, and the coating is thickly patinated, making it look like an antique at first glance.

"I'm ashamed to say it, Miss Chen. I've been thinking about this thing of yours for so long, but I still can't figure out its origin." Duan Tiande took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, looking a little tired.

Although Chen Ziqi was well prepared, she was still disappointed when she heard Duan Tiande's words. She forced a smile and said, "Thank you for all the time and effort Mr. Duan has spent."

Seeing her disappointed face, Duan Tiande was about to say a few words of apology, but when he saw Zhao Gang staring intently at the awl on the coffee table, he was fascinated and asked, "Xiao Zhao, try to take a look." this thing?"

Chen Ziqi frowned. She came here because she was interested in Duan Tiande's reputation as the number one divine eye in Linshui. She didn't expect that he couldn't tell and passed it on to the young man. She couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

Seeing Chen Ziqi's expression, Duan Tiande explained: "I'm afraid Miss Chen doesn't know something. Xiao Zhao also has a certain reputation in the antique industry. Recently, he has become very famous at the auction. It is the so-called heroic boy. Although Xiao Zhao is young, he is very famous. His ability is not small at all."

"Master Duan, don't say that, I'm just dabbling in this field, and I don't have any skills." Zhao Gang refused, but his eyes kept on the awl on the coffee table, with a solemn expression.

Hearing what Duan Tiande said, Chen Ziqi nodded suspiciously, and looked Zhao Gang up and down.

The handle of this awl is in the shape of a three-faced beast, and its length is no more than [-] centimeters. The blade is divided into four parts, and the corners are decorated with fine patterns. deep.

"Can I pick it up and have a look?" Zhao Gang asked.

After Chen Ziqi agreed, Zhao Gang picked up the awl, examined it carefully, and moved his fingers along the lines of the symbols on it from time to time.

The structure of the mysterious symbols is complex. To other people, it may be like a heavenly book, but to Zhao Gang, this symbol is unusually familiar.

Three ancient characters of the Miao nationality!
He copied it several times and finally concluded the origin of this awl. He had a special exhibition hall in his home to display such weird things. Although Zhao Gang had not studied this kind of thing, he had some impressions.

Sanmiao is an ancient tribe in the southwest of ancient times. As early as the beginning of the prosperity of the Central Plains civilization, Sanmiao was already a powerful tribe, especially in the period of Yao, Shun and Yu. Sanmiao was prosperous for a while, but was finally defeated by Xia Yu In the Jianghan area, it disappeared into the long river of history.

There are countless legends about the Sanmiao tribe from ancient times to the present. Some historians say that Sanmiao is the descendant of Jiuli, and some people say that Sanmiao is the descendant of Nuwa tribe. The animal face, the body is like gold and stone.

There are different opinions, but there is not enough one.Because the Three Miao people have been extinct for too long, there are very few historical materials and cultural relics about this tribe. Even if there are occasional discoveries, they are just some innocuous research.

"How is it? Xiao Zhao." Duan Tiande asked Zhao Gang when he saw that he was watching seriously.

Zhao Gang put the awl back on the coffee table, shook his head and said, "This awl is a product of the Three Generations period. If I remember correctly, the words on it should be an ancient saying of the Sanmiao tribe, but I don't know the specific meaning."

As soon as these words came out, Duan Tiande's eyes flashed brightly, and the shock in his heart was hard to describe with words.Zhao Gang was actually able to date this awl!You know, he only knew that this awl was a product of the Yao and Shun period with the help of a carbon-14 test.

Chen Ziqi had a look of surprise on her face. How could she have imagined that after searching all over the antiques and getting no results, she would be exposed to the secret so easily by an ordinary boy!

Zhao Gang sat on the soft sofa, silently looking at Duan Tiande and Chen Ziqi.

The subtle brilliance in the eyes of the former is fleeting, while the joy of the latter is beyond words.

Simply put, he passed a test.

Even if he became famous in the first battle and gained a certain reputation in the connoisseurship circle of Linshui City, he can stand firm only if those who really know how to know it recognize him.

Chen Ziqi looked at Zhao Gang with a smile, her eyes filled with autumn water.

"Mr. Zhao, please allow me to call you that."

Zhao Gang suddenly blushed. He waved his hand quickly, and the corners of Chen Ziqi's mouth curved. This smile made Zhao Gang shudder for a moment. The girl seemed to be shining with sunshine at this moment.

She continued: "Mr. Zhao, do you want to know the origin of this awl?"

Chen Ziqi's beauty and intelligence all exude the charm of a woman. How could Zhao Gang, a young man with a hairy head, resist it?He didn't even notice what Chen Ziqi was saying, so he nodded slightly.

"My grandfather is a lover of antiques. His old man is very fond of these old things. Mr. Duan should know about this."

Duan Tiande said: "Yes, Mr. Chen is a well-known collector in our Linshui City. He collects more things than I have seen."

There is a saying that wears thousands of clothes and wears them all, but flattery does not wear them.Although Chen Ziqi knew that Duan Tiande was flattering his grandpa, she still felt very good in her heart. She continued: "A while ago, grandpa stayed in the study alone for a few days and didn't come out even to eat. It didn't take long. , Grandpa finally came out, but without saying anything, he went to the area covered by the Sanmiao culture. The legendary leader created a mysterious and great civilization here.

Zhao Gang and Duan Tiande both looked at the awl on the coffee table and fell into deep thought. With the magnificent copywriting and the incomprehensible words, the legendary civilization was looming in the fog of history.
