Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 61 Cultural relics in Sanxingdui?Who has traveled through time?

When Lin Ran came to the stall, the boss was discussing with other customers.

He glanced at Lin Ran. He was dressed simply and was young. He was probably not a big customer. He just whispered out of habit: "Little brother, please take a look."

Lin Ran squatted down and looked at the bronze lamp carefully.

Bronze human lanterns originated in the Warring States Period. It is generally believed that human lanterns began in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was not until the level of archeology during the Warring States Period in the 90s that the human lanterns of the Warring States Period were unearthed from all over the country, and the truth was gradually restored.

If the lanterns of this era are genuine, they must have been touched privately by Captain Jin.

If it is genuine, it must be priceless!

The lamp in hand has a unique shape and a bronze feel.

However, Lin Ran still recognized that the product in his hand was a fake, because the style and text were completely opposite.

At first glance, he seems to be an expert in imitation, but unfortunately his development is restricted by the literature.

After discovering that the bronze human lamp was a fake, I immediately lost interest and continued looking at other products.

This stall has quite a complete range of goods, ranging from copper coins to bronze statues.

It was most likely collected from a family.

Lin Ran picked up another bronze gui and looked at it carefully, but unfortunately there was only a bronze gui.

When you touch it, a cold feeling instantly runs up your arm, and it feels a bit like the weight of history.

Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Gui has been not only a food container, but also a ritual vessel used for banquets and sacrifices.

The emperor has nine tripods and eight guis, the princes have seven tripods and six guis, the lower the official rank, and so on.

Fugui is also used to describe people who have talents from heaven.

Therefore, the bronze Gui also plays an important role in Chinese history.

The earliest bronze gui can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. If it were a bronze gui from the Western Zhou Dynasty, it could easily fetch tens of millions at an auction in later generations.

Lin Ran squatted in front of the bronze gui and leaned closer to observe carefully.

There were horizontal stripes on the belly of the bronze Gui in front of him, and Lin Ran could tell at a glance that this was an inscription popular in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty.

There's a little rust on the bottom.

"Boss, can I pick it up and take a look?"

The boss who is haggling with the customer obviously attaches great importance to the bronze gui.

He said to Lin Ran: "You can't do it without gloves. Don't get them dirty."

Lin Ran took out the appreciation gloves from his pocket. He was well prepared.

Moisture on your hands can easily oxidize bronzeware, so it's normal to take care of it.

Seeing that Lin Ran was fully prepared, the vendor didn't make things difficult for him and continued to bargain with the surrounding customers.

Lin Ran picked it up and looked at it carefully. From the appearance alone, it was almost the same as the real thing.

Turn it upside down and there is a circle of inscriptions on the abdomen.

It can be seen that this is not an ordinary edible Gui, but a bronze Yan Gui used on important festivals such as praying for rain and offering sacrifices.

However, the color of the paste is obviously too bright, like a modern handicraft.

Looking further down, the surface of the bronze casted by the Fan method is tighter and smoother.

There were shrinkage holes on the surface of this fun, and Lin Ran had determined that it was a fake artifact imitating literature.

I put it down with a bit of regret. If it is a genuine bronze Yangui, sales will not be a problem.

Looking at the other goods on his stall, they all looked like fakes, but unfortunately they were all fakes.

I bet the small vendor has met a counterfeiting expert, so it will definitely not be cheap to receive this batch of goods.

Lin Ran was not interested in replicas.

As he was about to leave, he accidentally saw a bronze statue placed behind the stall by the stall owner.

Not long before his rebirth, he had only seen the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui in the news!

There are several statues among them, which are exactly the same as in the impression.

In front of the statue is a bronze head with a flat crown and a thin face.

The small vendor and the customer next to him had finished bargaining. The customer was obviously dissatisfied with the price he offered and left empty-handed.

The vendor sighed and cursed: "Tch, it's another ignorant thing."

He lit a cigarette for himself and then noticed that Lin Ran hadn't left yet.

All I could do was put on a unique businessman's smile and continue to ask: "Little brother, you have been looking at it for so long, do you have anything you like?"

His words brought Lin Ran back to the real world from his thoughts.

Lin Ran looked at it from a distance, and saw that the expression of the bronze statue was dignified and solemn.

However, due to its long history, the meaning of this crown is not yet clear.

If you say it's a fake, it's too real!

The most important thing is that according to the historical trajectory, the Sanxingdui ruins will not see the light of day for at least more than 20 years. How could it appear here?

There is currently no relevant literature indicating that imitations are even more nonsense!

After all, who would waste energy creating a fake that doesn’t exist?

This confused Lin Ran!

But his intuition told him that this thing definitely had a lot of potential.

The small vendor has been setting up his stall not long ago, but has actually been setting up his stall for nearly half a month. Carrying heavy bronze vessels back and forth every day makes his body very tired.

Eager to get rid of the goods in hand.

So he started to introduce it in a deceptive way: "What you just looked at are cultural relics from the Qin and Han Dynasties. They were all household items used by scholar-bureaucrats at that time."

But from these words, Lin Ran could tell that he didn't know much about antiques, and he was probably only half-experienced.

But considering that Sanxingdui has not been excavated yet, Sanxingdui cultural relics actually appeared on his stall.

So Lin Ran decided to have a good discussion with his boss first, and maybe he would be able to discover some shocking secrets!

Turning to look at the boss, an idea came to mind.

"Brother, I have a friend who likes to collect bronzes, so I have seen a lot of stuff in his collection, but your pile of stuff doesn't seem right."

"Nonsense." The vendor threw away the cigarette butt and said with an unhappy face, "What do you know at such a young age?"

He picked up a knife coin and said, "Look at this, Qi Dao."

Then he started to show off: "Qifa has been in production for the longest time and has wide circulation. This is the three-character sword unearthed in Shandong."

"Look at this knife, how lifelike it is."

As he spoke, he seemed to have forgotten his words and said casually: "Give this thing to a friend. If he knows the goods, he will definitely like it."

Lin Ran nodded noncommittally.

Seeing Lin Ran's perfunctory attitude, he picked up the bronze gui just now and started bragging to himself.

The reason why the small vendor was so enthusiastic was because it was difficult to get rid of the goods recently, and he was worried about getting them in his hands.

The young man in front of me looks like a novice and he probably knows nothing about antiques.

And he himself was born in the market, and he could live or die.

No matter what, I must order today!

Otherwise, I would be sorry to be walking around with this pile of junk on my back.

I got into the antiques circle after listening to other people’s words.

I spent a lot of money to collect a bunch of bronze cultural relics, hoping to make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, due to the high value of bronzes, counterfeit craftsmanship has become widespread. He set up a stall and saw no shipments for several days.

The people who hang out in Liulichang are all old foxes. It's hard to catch a young man who has never experienced the world, so he has to collect a handful of wool.

So he introduced the products on the stall one by one, even though he knew nothing about them.

Lin Ran was listening to the stall owner's introduction, but in fact he was secretly observing the bronze head.

After all, he couldn't let the stall owner see his true intentions.

Otherwise, if you want to make mistakes under the eyes of this group of people who have been working around for most of their lives, you may end up getting half the result with twice the effort!

Lin Ran frowned and pretended to be dissatisfied: "These things don't seem to be suitable for collection."

Then he changed the topic, stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the bronze head behind the boss, pretending to be confused.

"Can you bring that strange thing to me and show it to me?"
