I held it in my hand and played with it for a while. It was not easy to know that this thing is called a goblet, which is a popular drinking u during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It is about half a foot high, with a trumpet mouth, a protruding belly, a high ring foot, and a plain face without any trace.

This is the simplest design, which must be ordinary household items for officials, not top-quality products.

In modern times, it is considered a rare cultural relic, but in the Tang Dynasty, such non-royal instruments did not have much value, so there was no need to fake it. Looking at the copper rust of this object, it was obviously formed naturally, and it can be concluded that it was an authentic product.

Seeing Zhou Wen looking at him, Chen Buyi smiled slightly, "Brother Zhou, this is an object from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but it's a bit rough, so it's okay to play with it."

"Brother Chen really has good eyesight."

A sound came from behind the screen.

Zhou Wen stood aside with his hands hanging down, without saying a word.

He looked up and walked out from behind a young man.

This young man looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a national face and eight-character eyebrows, and is dressed in a white robe, looking clean and tidy.

A bone fan in his hand also showed a bit of elegance.

Chen Buyi stood up with a smile.

"It is not easy for a commoner to be humble. I pay homage to the third young master."

Yao Yi shook the bone fan in his hand, "Brother Chen, don't be so polite. There are no outsiders here, you and my brothers are just right."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen understood it and bowed and retreated.

Immediately afterwards, a maid brought tea and snacks to come.

The two of them drank tea and chatted about family matters. After a while, Zhou Wen left and returned.

He clasped his fists at Yao Yi.

"Young Master, you're ready."

"Okay," Yao Yi stood up.

"Brother Chen, please follow me."

Zhou Wen led the way, Chen Buyi followed Yao Yi, and the three of them went straight to the backyard.

As he walked, Chen Buyi couldn't help but admire, the Prime Minister's Mansion was so big, it was so big. Most of the flowers and plants planted in the back garden could not be named. There was a rockery in the middle, with a few unknown birds on it.

It squeaks and squeaks, and people don’t fly away when they come.

The three of them walked all the way to the corner gate, and there was a room next to them, which looked a bit shabby.

Zhou Wu had already been waiting there, and there were seven or eight servants beside him.

Seeing the three of them coming, someone hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the door open.

“Release out.”

After Zhou Wu finished speaking, he waved his hand and the servants immediately walked into the house.

I didn't have much effort, so I carried a wooden box out.

It can be seen from the difficult expressions of several people that the thing inside should be quite large.

The Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu brothers stepped forward and dismantled the wooden box directly.

There was a large square cauldron inside the box.

The large tripod is half a person tall, the body is about three feet long, about half a foot high, and the ears are more than half a foot taller than the body.

Looking at the body of the tripod, there was no trace of rust, and the original pattern could be seen.

"Brother Chen, please take a look."

Yao Yi spoke with some expectations.

Chen Buyi squatted down and looked at the cauldron body carefully. The rust looked very neat, but it seemed too neat.

I reached out and wiped it gently, and it seemed to feel a little sticky.

I got up and took a little rust from the cauldron, put it under my nose and smelled it.

In addition to the damp and rotten metal smell, there seemed to be a hint of strange smell.

Chen Buyi has a clear mind.

Nodded slightly at Yao Yi.

Yao Yi understood it, waved his hand and sent off his slave.

"Three Young Master, this object is a fake."

Fake.

A complicated look flashed in Yao Yi's eyes.

Chen Buyi can see that the other party seems to not trust him very much.

"Three Young Master, please follow me."

Chen Buyi brought the person to the big tripod, pointed to the rust on the tripod and said, "Please look, these rusts look thicker. At first glance, the five colors of green, red, blue, purple, and black are mixed in disorder, but if you look closely, these colors seem to be floating on the surface."

"Please touch it again, does it feel a little sticky?"

"Also, please smell it carefully. Apart from the smell of copper, is there any other smell?"

Following his guidance, Yao Yi did it one by one.

After that, he looked at Chen Buyi with a confused look on his face, "Brother Chen, what explanation is this?"

Chen Buyi smiled slightly, "It's very simple, someone uses a horse," which is actually soaked in horse urine, but Chen Buyi suddenly realized that it might be a little early to tell this secret now.

So he immediately changed his words and said, "Use a horse to draw a potion and soak the rust made of contemporary bronze ware, so it feels a little sticky when you feel it, and that little bit of smell is the smell of the potion."

"This, this is too clever."

Zhou Wen, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but shout.

"If the third young master polishes these copper rusts, the truth will naturally be revealed."

Shen Buyi bowed his hand.

Seriously said.

"Young master, bronze objects are gone without rust, but they are not worth much..." Zhou Wu stepped forward and whispered, Yao Yi waved his hand, "I believe in Brother Chen."

The Zhou brothers looked at each other and shut up. Chen Buyi was invited by them for a lot of money. If you say anything else to question, it is obviously inappropriate.

As a servant, everything he should say has been said, but it is naturally Yao Yi's business in the end.

"Three young master, please send someone to the kitchen to get some wood ash, mix it into the water, and bring it."

Shen Buyi said calmly.

Yao Yi nodded and immediately went to do it by the celebrity.

The skill was not great, so several slaves rushed over with two large buckets of mixed water.

Chen Buyi took a scoop of water and slowly poured it on the ears of the square tripod.

A moment later, he took the rag from his servant and wiped it gently.

A large piece of copper rust on the ears of the tripod was immediately wiped off.

The texture inside is exposed, and under the sunlight, there is a slight ray.

Seeing this, Yao Yi immediately ordered his family slaves to do the same thing and do it in accordance with Shen Buyi's method.

After half an hour of struggle, the huge square cauldron finally revealed its original appearance.

After searching around, I finally found a signature in the inconspicuous corner of the belly of the tripod, which was the Zhenguan Five-Year System.

Although the few words are very small, they can be vaguely seen.

Zhenguan is the reign of Li Shimin, and it is obvious that it has not been many years.

Yao Yi's face showed a hint of relief.

"Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work, let's go to the study to talk."

When I returned to the study, a maid brought the hand washing water to make it difficult to cleanse your hands.

Then a maid brought tea and snacks.

Yao Yi waved his hand, turned back everyone, then stood up, and bowed slightly to Chen Buyi and said, "Thank you, Brother Shen."

While speaking, he had changed from Brother Chen to Brother Shen, which shows that in his heart, he had already developed a sense of trust in Chen Buyi.

This is the best, Chen Buyi was secretly happy.

There is a nominal brother Yao Yi, who will be much more convenient to walk in Chang'an in the future.
