Chapter 9: A copper coin missing a dime
Chapter 9: Copper Money Missing a Cent
Qian Zhengtai told the story that happened in Sifang Pavilion that day and sighed: "Who Sister Liu even sold the heirlooms, probably has reached the end of her life."
“It’s not just about ending the road…”
Qin Xuebing told what he saw and heard from Grandma Liu’s house yesterday: “It is said that raising children to prevent old age, but Grandma Liu’s three sons and one daughter are the younger daughter, and only her younger daughter knows filial piety, but the three sons are not even as good as beasts.”
"I haven't seen such a person before." Ye Zijing didn't know what to say. She has lived a wealthy life since she was a child. She could not imagine such a situation, and she would never imagine that there would be someone as cruel as Liu Yuanguang, who had a wealth of wealth but did not care about her parents' lives or death.
"I can't kill that bastard." Ouyang Zhanjun swears, despising Liu Yuanguang's character infinitely, and also has the intention to teach such a guy with human face and beast hearts a lesson.
"Ouyang Sanshao, don't steal my business." Qin Xuebing said quickly. The Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Grooster Cup is a national treasure and is extremely rare and precious. You must get it.
"Don't call me Master San. If you don't mind, call me Brother Ouyang like Zijing. Anyway, I'm older than you, and you can't suffer any loss."
Ouyang Zhanjun smiled and asked again: "From your attitude, you seem to be very confident. Could it be that Liu Yuanguang will have a disaster in the near future?"
"Don't use fortune telling to fool us." Ye Zijing added. She didn't believe in the charlatan's style.
"Why, the "Book of Changes" is the first of all scriptures and the source of all things. How come it becomes a fool when it comes to your mouth?"
Qin Xuebing said angrily: "If you don't believe it, just wait and see. In a few days, the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Garage will definitely come to my hands."
"I believe you, I'm a fool." Ye Zijing snorted, clearly disbelief.
"Forget it if you don't believe it." Qin Xuebing curled his lips, but he was extremely confident in his heart. Unless Liu Yuanguang meets the person in the Qimen, it will be impossible to resolve it at all.
Among the Qimen secret techniques, there is a secret technique called a talisman, which uses talismans to achieve the desired purpose. In the talisman, there is another type of "talisman for the punishment of villains", which can punish villains through talismans.
For example, the nightmare talisman in Qin Xuebing punishing Wang Datong was one of the "talismans who punished villains", but with a slight change, different "talismans who cured villains" could be derived.
Now Qin Xuebing is on Liu Yuanguang's body with the next "Tactic of Dealing Violent Man", but it is not a nightmare talisman, but a weakness talisman. In this talisman, the body and spirit will gradually become weak, and the effect of the talisman of 779-day will disappear. However, if the body is not strong enough, it may take less than 49-day to die.
However, compared with the huge talisman category, "Tactics for Violence of the Liar" is just a very basic talisman, and it is one of the few Qin Xuebing can play with. If it were replaced with other profound talismans, it would not be able to draw with his cultivation level.
Ye Zijing snorted again, but stopped asking. After all, everyone has their own secret: "Okay, take out your copper coins and see if there are any treasures."
"There must be some treasures, but I don't know if the best ones are." Although Qin Xuebing only saw a few, it was a treasure that could be called a treasure with the character Jing engraved on the back of the Hongwu Tongbao with the character Jing engraved on the back.
Qin Xuebing poured out all the copper coins. Qian Zhengtai grabbed a few, and his eyes couldn't help but lit up: "There are really good things, Xiao Qin, where did you collect them? How much did it cost?"
"It was bought from Grandma Liu, two million."
"What? You kid..." Qian Zhengtai exclaimed. Although these coins are treasured, there are many worthless ones, not worth two million at all. But then he smiled bitterly again. He knew Qin Xuebing's motive, so he must have been guilty of picking up the vacancy and rushing to deliver the money to the door.
"Two million will definitely lose, but I won't lose much."
Ye Zijing shook a copper coin in her hand: "Shunzhi Tongbao regular script, two carved mothers, and the original characters are engraved on the back, worth tens of thousands. If you can find a few, it will be a considerable fortune."
In ancient times, casting copper coins required three steps: carving mother, mother coins, and finished products.
The carved mother, also known as the mother coin, is usually directly carved into a coin mold with copper or tin and lead. When casting the coins, the mother coin is used as the mold and the mother coin is turned over. The mother coin is then issued to various places, and the mother coin is made into a coin mold.
The carving mother is very well-made, with exquisite coins and carved by hand. The characters are thin, tall and straight, the mouth of the characters is deep, the strokes are strong and powerful, the ground is smooth, there is no mark of casting on the whole body, and it is slightly larger and heavier than the money circulated in the same version.
The mother carvings are rare, and the ones that have been passed down are even rarer. No matter which version of the mother carvings are very precious and expensive.
"I have almost collected all the Tongbaos of Shunzhi, but I lack one of them. Xiao Qin, you must transfer them to me." Qian Zhengtai loved Qian Cheng's hobbies. When he saw the treasures he had not had, he was moved and forgot to commit the taboo of antiques. In other words, he couldn't care whether he would be slaughtered by Qin Xuebing.
"Boss Qian, I discovered this carving mother. If you do this, it will be unruly." Ye Zijing quickly held the carving mother in her hand. Although this carving mother is only worth tens of thousands of yuan, it cannot be compared with porcelain calligraphy and paintings, the key is that it is too rare and cannot be bought even if you have money.
"Zijing, look at Ouyang San Ge has never made any achievements in collecting ancient coins. Can you give me the storefront to the third brother?" Ouyang Zhanjun didn't care too much, and there was no doubt that the mother-in-law was rare. Every time he encountered one, he was lucky, and he missed it and disappeared.
"Well, is Diao Mu mine?" Qin Xuebing was speechless. These guys were really 'eyed to see money' and forgot the owner of the money'.
"Xiao Qin, don't you want to sell it?" Qian Zhengtai was anxious. He was almost crazy about ancient coins. If he missed such a treasure, he would not be able to sleep for the next month.
"Xiao Qin, to be honest, the third brother has a lot of collections, but there are very few ancient coins, and there is not a single piece of fine products. You can fulfill the third brother and think that the third brother owes you a favor." Ouyang Zhanjun spent a lot of money and didn't care about how much money, but human favors should not be underestimated. With his connections, human favors are not comparable to money, and sometimes they can even be worth a life.
Of course, the greater reason for making this promise is to appreciate Qin Xuebing. A young man who is not rich can spend 100,000 yuan to help an old man, and then spend 2 million yuan to help the old man. Although Qin Xuebing still took advantage of this matter, he was able to take advantage of it for nothing. After all, it is natural to find a bargain in the antique market.
"Qin Xuebing, you promised me before that you should consider me first when you receive good things." Ye Zijing brought out her killer move, just said, Qin Xuebing, you are a man, you must keep your trust.
"Grandma Liu said that her father-in-law is also a player in ancient coin. This pack of ancient coin was left by her father-in-law. There must be fine products. Should we divide it first and discuss it in the end?"
Qin Xuebing coughed, and then said solemnly: "But one thing I have to declare, if there are fifty treasures in it, you are not allowed to bid, and I will not sell it if you bid."
Fifty treasures are the general term for fifty ancient coins, but it does not mean that every treasure is the most precious. In fact, the price of some ancient coins will not be lower than fifty treasures.
But Qin Xuebing had an idea, collecting fifty treasures, which is something that the Palace Museum cannot do. If it completes itself, it would be a great achievement, right?
Of course, Qin Xuebing knew that this was very difficult. Fifty treasures were extremely rare. Some varieties were almost alone, and some varieties were only found in museums and could not be collected at all. Qian Zhengtai was the best proof. He was crazy about "money" and "money". He had only collected 31 species for decades.
Moreover, Qin Xuebing has a natural disadvantage in collecting ancient coins, and the energy sensing is not useful. This is no wonder. He just takes a lot of copper coins out, each one is full of years, and each one can make the energy sensing. It is impossible to tell which one is a treasure unless it is identified with a jade pen.
However, the identification of jade pens requires support of vitality, and ancient coins can move dozens or hundreds of them. With Qin Xuebing's current cultivation level, he can only use jade pens three times, and it is not useful at all.
"Okay, that's all." Ouyang Zhanjun didn't have a big opinion. Anyway, this mother of eagle was not among the fifty treasures. If there were really fifty treasures here, then Qin Xuebing would have no choice but to sell them.
"Okay, just do it." Qian Zhengtai had no objection. He pursued fifty treasures for decades and could not collect very few fighters, and the chances of encountering them were slim.
"I have no objection!" Ye Zijing was a little helpless, but Qin Xuebing had her own pursuit, so she couldn't force it.
Several people were busy and began to divide the copper coins into categories, and they were also rumored. Qian Zhengtai muttered dissatisfiedly: "Hongwu Tongbao, it is Hongwu Tongbao again, why are there so many Hongwu Tongbao?"
It’s not that Qian Zhengtai looked down on Hongwu Tongbao. Hongwu was the year name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He started to mint Hongwu Tongbao since the first year of its establishment. It is a popular in the ancient coins market and the transaction price is not low. Hongwu Tongbao with the character "Jing" engraved on the back is sold for two cents and the transaction price is over 10,000 yuan, and there are more than a dozen prices worth thousands.
However, Qian Zhengtai has already collected a set of Hongwu Tongbao, and Hongwu Tongbao is no longer attractive to him. He hopes that there are more copper coins in this pile of copper coins that he does not have.
"one two three……"
Qian Beibei counted the Hongwu Tongbao that everyone picked out, and soon exclaimed: "The fifty-eight types of Hongwu Tongbao have already collected one set."
"One set?" Qin Xuebing was amused. The price of a complete set must be higher than that of a single set. If you collect one set, the price will increase by at least 20%.
"It's a pity that it's still incomplete." Ye Zijing sighed. There are actually sixty-one types of Hongwu Tongbao, but three of them have not been passed down, and now fifty-eight types are considered to be one.
"It's time to be content. Not to mention gathering sixty-one types, even if there are only fifty-nine types, the value is unimaginable." Qian Zhengtai shook his head and smiled bitterly. If there is one more, the extra one will be an all-in-one product that can cause a sensation in the collection and archaeology world. If you hype it up properly, you can sell copper coins at a sky-high price.
"Good luck to Xiao Qin!" Ouyang Zhanjun couldn't help but envy this set of fifty-eight Hongwu Tongbaos, the price would be about 120,000 yuan, but if you make up one, you can be worth at least 150,000 yuan.
For Ouyang Zhanjun, 150,000 is just a drop in the bucket, but for those who like to collect, good things are not necessarily based on the price. This set of Hongwu Tongbao has high collection value.
"In the end, it's not going to fall into your hands." Qin Xuebing shook his head. According to the current form, it was far less than two million. It was equivalent to Qin Xuebing buying these copper coins at a high price, which made them cheaper.
However, it doesn't matter to Qin Xuebing. The original intention of buying these copper coins has been achieved, and it is already an unexpected surprise to be worth hundreds of thousands.
"Grandma Liu's father-in-law is not a Hongwu fan, right? Why are there so many Hongwu Tongbao?" Qian Beibei became more and more depressed as he looked at it, and almost all of them could make up the second set of Hongwu Tongbao.
"That's not very good." Qin Xuebing was very happy. The copper coins of the Ming Dynasty were very popular in the market and the price was much higher than those of the Qing Dynasty.
"Don't be too happy too early, there are more in the Qing Dynasty."
Qian Beibei pointed to several piles of divided copper coins: "The Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing, can probably be integrated into a set, and there are surpluses."
"There are indeed too many Tongbaos in Shunzhi." Qin Xuebing was also speechless. There were more than forty types of Tongbaos in Shunzhi, but there were hundreds of them here.
The key is that Shunzhi Tongbao is not valuable, most of which are more than ten or dozens of dollars, and only a few of them are more than a thousand.
"Don't be unhappy, look at this." Qian Beibei quickly picked up a copper coin from the Shunzhi Tongbao pile and handed it over.
"Is it very strange to have two cents to carve the original characters on the back?"
Qin Xuebing curled his lips and immediately felt something was wrong. There were a lot of small flat money circulating in Tongbao, Shunzhi, but the two coins were very rare. Among the two coins I found, only the coins "Jiju Name" were recited, and the words "Baoquan" were written, and there was no one who wrote the word "original" in his mind.
"Is it a new variety?" Qin Xuebing couldn't help but be excited. If it was a new discovery, then this copper coin was an orphan product in the world, and it was possible to buy hundreds of thousands of yuan.
"You really dare to think." Qian Beibei rolled her eyes. The lonely product is not a cabbage.
"This is the Mother of Diao." Qin Xuebing finally remembered that among the types of Tongbao in Shunzhi, the only one who broke two cents and carved the original characters on the back was the Mother of Diao.
Even so, Qin Xuebing was already very satisfied. Any version of the carving mother with copper coins was very rare and expensive. Currently, on the market, this carving mother is more than 20,000 yuan. It is not surprising that if you like it, it is sold for 30,000 yuan.
"It's the mother of Diao again, Xiao Qin, your luck..." Ouyang Zhanjun no longer knew how to describe it. It is undeniable that buying two million is expensive, but gold is pricey and antiques are priceless. In his eyes, buying such a generous collection of two million is completely worth it.
If Qin Xuebing was willing, he could immediately write a check of two million and take the copper coins away. Of course, Ye Zijing and Qian Zhengtai would not agree anyway.
"I'm really lucky, but unfortunately I haven't found fifty treasures yet." Qin Xuebing felt a little regretful. He almost regarded collecting fifty treasures as his first collection target.
"Most of the fifty treasures are old, and your bag of copper coins is mostly from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is probably difficult to find fifty treasures."
Qian Zhengtai explained and said, "Of course, you don't have to be discouraged. Several of the fifty treasures were from the Ming and Qing dynasties. If you look for them, you might find them."
"This pile of coins is from Xianfeng, please look for it carefully." Qian Beibei pointed at another pile of copper coins.
During the Xianfeng period of Emperor Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty, military expenditure increased greatly, the national treasury was empty, prices soared, and the currency depreciated severely, and the currency was extremely chaotic and there were many categories. The collections of Chinese History Museums alone were as high as 917.
Of course, confusion in shape does not mean there are no treasures. The fifty treasures included four of them, namely, Xianfeng Yuanbao Yidang 500, and Qianlong; Xianfeng Yuanbao Su Su Yu, Qianlong; Xianfeng Tongbao blessed one hundred Qing Dynasty; Xianfeng Tongbao Shengjing is a money-making hanger.
Qin Xuebing looked through carefully and did not find the fifty treasures. Instead, he took out another copper coin: "It seems that he has a good relationship with the mother of Diao today. Xianfeng Yuanbao regular script, folded the fifty-year back "Baobai" of the mother of Diao."
Everyone was speechless. It was rare to see a mother of Diao. Qin Xuebing was better, and he found three in a while. In the end, Qian Zhengtai said softly: "There are many types of ingots in Xianfeng and many mother of Diao, so the price is relatively low. This type of product can be at most 10,000 yuan."
"A pound of copper is only a few dozen yuan, and a copper coin costs ten thousand yuan, which is very good." Qin Xuebing was very content. For him, the price of each copper coin was an unexpected surprise.
"Can you calculate this? The big pot of Yuan blue and white Guiguzi went down the mountain was still made of valuable soil."
Ouyang Zhanjun was amused and cried. If the material was used to judge the price, then the antiques would only be worthy of jade and gold: "But your gains made me understand one thing: You must be filial, otherwise your parents will not have the turn of their hands if they have good things."
Everyone agreed. If the three brothers Liu Yuanguang were filial, how could the plum vase and this bag of copper coins in the Ming Yongle inner palace be in the hands of outsiders?
What is particularly ridiculous is that Liu Yuanming and Liu Yuanhong are not filial because they are concerned about alimony, but they don’t know that if they are filial to their parents, they will get more than a little bit?
Qian Zhengtai was even more proud: "Yes, my son is unfilial and dare not learn antiques from me, so in the future Sifang Pavilion will be left to Beibei."
Everyone was even more amused and laughed. What kind of unfilial nature is this? At most, the son will not inherit his father's business.
"I finally saw the residual product. I thought each one could be preserved well." Qian Beibei interrupted Qian Zhengtai's unreasonable speech just like a new discovery. Her parents were very filial, except that they didn't like to collect it.
"It's normal to put such a big bag of copper coins together, and it's broken and damaged after a long time, just like a treasure."
Qin Xuebing took the copper coins and saw clearly the four words engraved on the front. He couldn't help but look ecstatic on his face: "Fifty treasures, I finally saw fifty treasures."
But after a moment, the laughter stopped abruptly. Qin Xuebing put on a stinky face and said sadly: "Oh my God, why am I so unlucky? I finally found a fifty treasure, but a corner was broken. I was so depressed. There were so many copper coins, that one could not be broken, why did this one break?"
"Fifty treasures, what kind of variety, let me see."
Qian Zhengtai was moved and quickly snatched the copper coins, said "hell", then put the copper coins down again, and ran away in a hurry, making everyone look at each other.
PS: I finally saw the recommendation vote. Thank you very much. Please continue to support me. The master of the physiognomy will tell you free fortunes, everyone will be happy, ha!
