Golden Eye

"Cough cough!"

It wasn't until a cough came from not far away that Xuan Ning's body froze slightly, and after struggling a bit, Lin Qianyi let him go slowly, and frowned displeasedly at the source of the sound, "Old Yan, what's the matter with you?"

"Business! The dishes are almost ready, come here." Yan Qingsong said anxiously, "Oh, by the way, I have to remind you, don't let Xiaoxuan get in the way, now it's in broad daylight and the public is here."

Seeing Xuan Ning turned his face away and remained silent, Lin Qianyi didn't talk to Yan Qingsong too much.Helping Xuan Ning smooth his hair, pulling him out from behind the potted plant, the two of them followed Yan Qingsong to the private room.

But when he was inside the room, just as the door was slammed shut, Yan Qingsong joked again, "Okay, now you can continue."

So this time before Lin Qianyi could answer, Xuan Ning had already said, "Brother Yan, there is another saying, do not look at evil."

Yan Qingsong immediately felt as if he had been choked, staring at his eyes for a while, unable to speak, and waved his hands after a long time: "Hey, I'm convinced, Xiaoxuan, you just..." His tone became sad, "Abandon me Let's just focus on you Brother Lin regardless."

Xuan Ning smiled: "Isn't that what it should be?"

Yan Qingsong was completely at a loss now, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Lin Qianyi curling his lips slightly, standing aside calmly.His gaze circled back and forth between the two, and finally he shrugged helplessly: "You guys are really getting more and more like a husband and wife now! I can't say no to the two of you, well, since you want to molested Don't look, I'll let the place out." He winked narrowly and walked out the door, "I'll serve the dishes myself, don't worry, I'll give you enough time."

When he went out, Lin Qianyi grabbed Xuan Ning, and the ending sound seemed to be picked up deliberately, "Shall we continue?"

Xuan Ning lost the freedom he had in front of Yan Qingsong just now, and a tinge of blush appeared on the base of his ears, "The food will be here soon."

"It's only five o'clock, don't worry. Besides, Lao Yan won't be ignorant, huh? Xuan Ning, why don't you talk?" Lin Qianyi secretly laughed, thinking that Xuan Ning like this is simply too cute!

"I... I'm hungry."

...cuter!Lin Qianyi rubbed his short hair, "Okay, then I'll go and urge Old Yan, if he dares to starve us Xuanning, I'll ask him to settle the score!"

When Yan Qingsong and Lin Qianyi came back, their order hadn't arrived yet.But Yan Qingsong brought something else, put the box on the table, opened it and carefully wrapped it with silk cloth.

"Brother Yan, what did you take just now?" Xuan Ning could only hear the movements of him and Lin Qianyi, and asked curiously.Could it be that Brother Lin mentioned before coming that Brother Yan received good things from other places?

"Wait for your old Lin to hold his eyes first, and then I will play with you." Yan Qingsong took out the things wrapped in silk and put them on the table, the sound was still very unique through the cloth.

Like... something metallic.Xuan Ning, whose ear strength is a bit higher than the other two, already has a little idea of ​​what it is.

"Play?" Lin Qianyi said noncommittally, "Old Yan, you thought Xuan Ning and Uncle Gu were here to play?"

"Don't, don't! I didn't mean that." Yan Qingsong quickly denied it, but didn't take it seriously.At the beginning, he did see that Xuan Ning's hands were quite powerful, but after thinking about it, he felt that they were not really that amazing!Speaking of which, maybe those things are easier to identify from the feel, and it's because of Lin Qianyi's presence.Besides, a few compliments at that time were nothing.

Hearing his disapproval, a strange color flashed across Lin Qianyi's eyes, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up, "Old Yan, Xuan Ning is much better than me now." Hmm... Of course, with that special ability, He silently added in his heart.

"Oh, that's right, our little Xuan is already very good." Yan Qingsong still didn't think so.

Lin Qianyi smiled slightly, "Do you want to bet?"

"Bet? What are you looking at me again?" Yan Qingsong was half-believing, and wrapped the silk cloth tightly on the side of wariness, "Don't be this thing, although it's not jade, but I saw it at a glance, which means there is a destiny !"

Lin Qianyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't worry, just bet on the things you collected, nothing else."

"That's no problem." Yan Qingsong waved his hand generously, while uncovering the silk cloth, revealing the contents inside, "I collected this from the countryside, I guess it is..."

"Wait, didn't you mean to bet?" Lin Qianyi interrupted him before he finished speaking.

Yan Qingsong didn't mind either, and winked at Lin Qianyi, "I know, I know." Then he said to Xuan Ning, "Xiao Xuan, come and touch it, and tell me about the condition of this thing."

That thing was pushed by Yan Qingsong, and it came to Xuan Ning.Lin Qianyi sat over and took his hand to touch this thing carefully.

"Oh." Xuan Ning responded, and his fingertips touched the surface of the object.

Sure enough, it is a metal utensil!The corners of his mouth curled up with joy, and while groping with his slender fingers, he said, "This is a bronze mirror with a diameter of about 25 centimeters. It has a flat ring button, no button seat, flat back, plain curled edge. According to this bronze mirror... Well, judging from the standard, it is a work of the Han Dynasty or earlier. The surface of the mirror... feels rusty, and the base feels smooth.

"Xiao Xuan is really good!" Yan Qingsong whistled, and looked at Xuan Ning with sparkling eyes, "Old Lin, let me lose, but this mirror is not that simple!"

"Huh?" Xuan Ning was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and still used the ability.

Sure enough, as soon as the image popped up in his mind, Xuan Ning understood it.

This mirror is painted, and on the back is a picture of chariots and horses painted in various colors such as ocher red and seedling green.However, the style of painting is not the style of the portrait mirrors before the Han Dynasty. It should be known that the portrait mirrors of the Han Dynasty, like the tiles at that time, have a strong sense of division.Outside the button seat, the string pattern is used to divide the inner area and the outer area, that is, the main grain area and the auxiliary grain area.In the main pattern area, the four breast nails are often used to divide the portrait into four areas: upper, lower, left, and right.

Xuan Ning can be sure that these characteristics are accurate.He had seen the pattern style of the portrait mirror in the Han Dynasty in one of Gu Zhuozeng's collections. At that time, he used supernatural powers to see the whole picture.Coupled with Gu Zhuo's previous advice on this aspect, if he can't even tell the difference, then he is really not learning but playing.

The bronze mirror in his hand, judging from the pattern of chariots and horses, has no partitions and belongs to the layout of flowing water.The method of using flowing water layout to decorate mirrors only appeared after the Sui and Tang Dynasties.At the same time, the images in the paintings do not match those of the Han Dynasty and before, and are closer to the portrait stones of the Han Dynasty.The so-called portrait stone is not so much a painting as a sculpture.The painted pattern on the back of the mirror, to put it bluntly, looks more like it was painted on a stone portrait.

Another point lies in the raw materials of colored paintings. During the Han Dynasty and before, most of them used natural mineral raw materials or shellfish raw materials, and the painted ones belonged to stone color.The green color on this bronze mirror belongs to the color of plant pigments, not the color formed by turquoise or malachite that should be found in Han Dynasty colored paintings.

After careful identification, Xuan Ning found that the painting on it was added after the color, because there is a halo along the outline between the outline of the image and the rust color.This is formed when the base is cleaned to remove rust before painting, and the color material dries and shrinks after the paint is added.If it is really a picture painted in the Han Dynasty, the color material will definitely be combined with the rust color.

Judging from the style and paint, Xuan Ning speculates that this should be a bronze mirror that was colored after the Republic of China.It is also very simple to verify, just look down at the description of the bronze mirror.He laughed when he saw it, and it was exactly as he inferred, and the age and details corresponded.This kind of thing brought no small sense of accomplishment, which made him very happy.After being happy, he couldn't help but think that if it weren't for the existence of inexplicable supernatural powers, he couldn't give such a detailed appreciation result when he couldn't see it, and his mood dropped again.

Lin Qianyi, who had been paying attention to Xuan Ning's expression, naturally noticed the momentary change, and couldn't help but thump in his heart, "Xuan Ning?"

"Brother Lin? What's the matter?" Xuan Ning came back to his senses.

"Are you OK?Lin Qianyi's heart skipped a beat, "I'll take a look at this mirror, and..." Taking advantage of Yan Qingsong's intentional turning away, he majesticly kissed Xuan Ning's forehead, "Remember that I am your eyes."

"...Mmm." Xuan Ning nodded heavily with a warm heart.

Lin Qianyi and Xuan Ning learned about the same thing after "seeing" the appearance of the bronze mirror. Yan Qingsong kept nodding, "Old Lin, you are not bad. The friend I called to appraise at that time only said that there must be a certain age." I didn’t expect that the bronze mirror would be based on the bronze mirror, and it would be colored after the period of the Republic of China.”

"Well, I didn't think of it, so I didn't think of it." Lin Qianyi didn't care too much, "You have a lot of money anyway, so you're afraid you'll spend it on this thing?"

Yan Qingsong leaned forward: "No matter how much money I have, I hope I can pick it up. Well, that is the ultimate enjoyment comparable to winning the 500 million grand prize!"

Lin Qianyi snorted, "When did 500 million become a big prize in your mind?"

"You can't say that." Yan Qingsong said seriously, "500 million can buy 100 million boxes of instant noodles."

This time, not only Lin Qianyi, but also Xuan Ning expressed contempt for Yan Qingsong's words: instant noodles?Not to mention that there is more than one restaurant under your name that can provide various dishes, even if you don’t have a restaurant, you are afraid that you can’t afford to eat and want to eat instant noodles?

At this time, Yan Qingsong rang the bell to ask the waiter to bring the dishes.After Xuan Ning and Lin Qianyi both started to eat, he said: "Eat and drink first, I still have something to give me."

"Are we here to do free work for you today?" Lin Qianyi raised his eyebrows.

Xuan Ning retorted with a suppressed smile, "It's not Bai Gong, Brother Lin, have you forgotten? The food and dishes we eat now are all provided by Brother Yan!"

"You two, don't run on me together. Aren't there bets to lose in those things? What else is good? You pick one and take it away. I will never regret it. It's over, right?" Yan Qingsong Seeing their tacit understanding, I couldn't help feeling a little envious.When he realized this emotion, he himself froze.
