"Young Master Wu, you are here, and you don't tell the old man in advance, so you have to wait for a long time. ”

"Hua Lao, I also just arrived. ”

Hua Lao and Wu Hongyi exchanged two words, and Xia Yu stepped forward to greet politely: "Hello Hua Lao, I am a friend of Hongyi, my name is Xia Yu." ”

"Hello hello and welcome!"

"You're all distinguished guests, let's go into the back room and sit down!"

Saying that, Hua Lao took Xia Yu and the others into the back room, and there was really a lot of space inside, it was a living room, and there was a wooden staircase leading to the upstairs next to it.

"Hua Lao, I have to say that you have an inexplicable force here, and every time you come here, your mood can calm down. ”

As soon as Wu Hongyi sat down, he said in admiration.

Hua Lao smiled kindly and said: "Antiques contain humanistic artistic conception, through the accumulation of history, each antique has its own aura, often play is conducive to self-cultivation, you might as well bring a few more pieces back, or have time to sit often." ”

"That's what I came with in mind, and I came to you today with my friend to buy antiques. ”

Wu Hongyi said with a smile, and then specially introduced Xia Yu to Hua Lao: "Xia Yu is a big boss from Xiangjiang, and his strength is stronger than our Wu family, and he is now the director of our Huashang Bank, and he plans to buy a few antiques to decorate the office." ”

After Wu Hongyi's introduction, seeing Hua Lao looking at him, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Hua Lao, I'm going to trouble you!"

Hua Lao smiled, stroked his long beard and agreed: "Don't bother, this is as it should be, I have to thank you for taking care of my business." ”

"Why don't you go upstairs now, you can pick and choose!"

"That's a good feeling, please keep please!"

Let's say that, Hua Lao led everyone up the wooden staircase to the second floor.

On the second floor, Xia Yu took a quick glance and found that there were many rooms above, at least six or seven.

Hua Lao pushed open the delicate carved wooden door of the first room and took Xia Yu and the others in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a lattice of wooden cabinets on the surrounding walls, on which were placed porcelain of various sizes but very fine.

Some large porcelain objects are placed on the lowest floor, or simply in the middle of the house, surrounded by a wooden railing to prevent accidental bumps or kicks.

At this time, I heard Hua Lao's gentle voice sound: "This is a porcelain pavilion, and now there are 191 pieces of porcelain, including blue and white porcelain, blue and white exquisite porcelain, pastel porcelain, thin porcelain, sculpture porcelain, colorful fetal porcelain and other types, and then subdivided, it is blue and white, blue and white five-colored, doucai, etc., the porcelain of the five major official kilns in China is available, but there are not many of them. ”

Listening to Hua Lao's words, a trace of shock flashed in Xia Yu's eyes, he didn't expect that there were so many porcelains in the Treasure Pavilion, which was enough to open a small museum, but they were all placed in a small room and sold to the outside world.

And I didn't expect that there were five official kilns of porcelain here, and you must know that there were only more than ten pieces of Ru kiln porcelain that came out in the previous life, and there were even them here!

Xia Yu's footsteps moved slightly, carefully observing the exquisite antique porcelain.

At this moment, his heart was ready to move, and he wanted to buy them all and keep them for himself.

However, he still has sense, and it is very likely that he will make everyone's face ugly if he boldly proposes this idea without knowing it.

Let's wait until we understand the situation!

Watching Xia Yu keep admiring the porcelain, Hua Lao smiled and stroked his beard on the side, quietly waiting for Xia Yu's selection.

There is a small card underneath each piece of porcelain with the basic information of the piece of porcelain, and of course the price is not marked.

After a while, Xia Yu stopped in front of a set of tea sets, one teapot and four bowls and cups, and looked at the card, which was from the Ming Dynasty.

"Hua Lao, can I get started and take a look?"

Xia Yu looked up and asked.

"Of course you can, but wear gloves!"

Hua Lao nodded with a smile and handed a pair of gloves to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu took it and put it on, gently picked up the teapot and put it in front of him to observe.

The diameter of the body of the pot is 18.8 cm, the color of the porcelain glaze is bright, the body of the pot is painted with a pattern of flowers and birds, and there is a square seal at the bottom of the lake, which is written with six words of the Ming Dynasty Chenghua year.

Look at it again, it is a gaiwan cup, and the body of the cup is a flower pattern, with a bottom and a lid, and the bottom is also printed.

Of course, there is a seal is not necessarily true, and Xia Yu can't tell it, but since Wu Hongyi said that the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion are genuine, then there should be no fake.

The more Xia Yu looked at it, the more he liked it, gently put down the teacup, and asked Hua Lao: "Hua Lao, I have a fancy for this tea set, I don't know what the price is?"

"I'll sell it to you for five thousand pounds, but you have to promise me one condition!"

Hua Lao said a low price that surprised Xia Yu, five thousand pounds to buy a set of blue and white porcelain teacups from the Ming Dynasty, which was also too cheap.

Of course, the unknown conditions also made Xia Yu think that the focus was here, and he said solemnly: "Please say it!"

Hua Lao's expression was very serious, his eyes looked straight at Xia Yu, and he said in a deep voice: "You can't sell this set of tea sets to foreigners, even if you sell it to others, you must ask him to do so! This set of tea sets can only be circulated in the hands of Chinese!"

Hua Lao's request made Xia Yu stunned, he carefully looked at Hua Lao's expression, and felt that this was what he really thought in his heart.

Xia Yu's heart shook slightly, and he had an inexplicable feeling, he solemnly nodded and agreed: "Old Hua, don't worry, I bought it for my own use, collected it myself, and left it to future generations, I won't sell it!

Hearing Xia Yu's assurance, Hua Lao smiled and nodded kindly: "That's good." ”

"But Hua Lao, wouldn't five thousand pounds be too cheap?"

Xia Yu couldn't help but say out loud.

For this old man who gave him a special feeling, he still took advantage of it, Xia Yu really couldn't bear it, and besides, he didn't lack this money, so there was no need to make himself feel guilty.

According to his estimates, this set of tea sets, if put to future generations, can be sold for millions of yuan, and now Hua Lao only charges him 5,000 pounds, even if it is 1978, it seems too cheap.

I didn't think about it, hearing Xia Yu's words, Hua Lao shook his head and smiled, and said: "Mr. Xia, you were brought here by Young Master Wu, I am very relieved, so I sold it to you, it is at this price, when I bought it, it was less than a thousand pounds, it was already very profitable, of course, if the British came to buy it, let alone five thousand pounds, I would not sell it for one million pounds!"

"Xia Yu, don't think about it, it's this price. ”

Wu Hongyi, who was standing behind Hua Lao, echoed and said, winking at Xia Yu at the same time, Xia Yu could only give up.

After that, Xia Yu bought another blue and white porcelain vase, which was only two thousand pounds.

Xia Yu stopped in the porcelain pavilion, now there are too many doubts in his heart, although he wants to buy them all, but it is not suitable, it is better to wait for the doubts in his heart to be lifted.

Then, Hua Lao took Xia Yu out of the porcelain pavilion, went to the wooden pavilion, the jade pavilion, the book pavilion, and the painting pavilion to look at it, and bought a few celebrity calligraphy and paintings and a few huanghuali and rosewood carvings.

A set of blue and white porcelain, a blue and white porcelain vase, two paintings, a letter, two yellow rosewood carvings and a rosewood carving, a total of eight items, cost a total of 28,000 pounds, which is outrageously cheap.

Of course, for each piece, Hua Lao put forward a request, asking Xia Yu not to sell to foreigners, and Xia Yu agreed.

After all the antiques were packed, the time was already more than five o'clock, Xia Yu and the others left, and before leaving, Xia Yu also looked deeply at the signboard of the Treasure Pavilion.

On the car back, Xia Yu was full of doubts, a large number of treasures, Hua Lao's eccentric attitude, cheap prices, etc., all made Xia Yu puzzled.

Wu Hongyi must be asked to understand clearly, so that he can decide what to do in the future.
