Chapter 454: Golden Peach Skin Sheath
Qi Changhe lowered his voice, "The system of the Tianzi waist knife is basically the same. Knife, I have one, but ······"
"What?" Yu Yao couldn't help but interrupt, "You have a Tianzi waist knife, which one is it?"
Qi Changhe was slightly stunned, then smiled, "You think too highly of me, I haven't finished talking about it yet." I have a custom-made one, which is based on the standard of Tianzi No. 17 Proton knife, handicrafts. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not going to hide it from you. I've got in touch, someone in Jiangzhou wants to sell the original golden peach skin scabbard!"
Only then did Yu Yao understand, "In other words, only the scabbard?"
This simple scabbard, the attraction and attention, are indeed much smaller. Moreover, when knives were made, there were unfinished and unqualified ones, and the scabbard must be made more, and the possibility of simple scabbard flowing out is greater than that of a knife.
"Yes, old scabbard, it's also rare. At that time, I made a custom waist knife, and I also wanted to make a golden peach skin scabbard, but it was extremely difficult to find the right materials. Moreover, the texture of this old scabbard must be different!"
Yu Yao nodded, to collect a Qianlong imperial Tianzi waist knife, the possibility is very small, the raw materials are customized one by one, it can be described as a collector's choice. If it can be paired with an old scabbard, it is the icing on the cake.
The so-called golden peach skin scabbard is not all golden peach skin, it is a wooden base, covered with a layer of golden peach skin, and it is a cut out of the golden peach skin strip, spelled into a pattern similar to the word "human" and has a sense of armor.
Golden peach skin, because it is said in general terms, is controversial. Some people say that it is produced in southern China, but, according to the "Heilongjiang Waiji" in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it is said that the golden peach skin comes from the "eastern mountains of Qiqihar City", "the skin is red and black", "the inside is like lacquer gold", so it is called the golden peach skin, "the spring branch is folded into tribute", and it does not actually bear peaches.
Because the leather inside is used, as if coated with a layer of gold paint, after decoration, it is very good-looking, and it is said that the golden peach skin can "avoid evil and drive away evil spirits", so it was selected to the Qianlong imperial waist knife.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty started from the Northeast and took control of the whole country, many high-end things still came out of the Northeast, such as the Chaozhu made by Dongzhu, which is the highest level.
This golden peach skin was a tribute in the Qing Dynasty, and now I don't know if there is, and even if there is, it is difficult to say whether the quality can be guaranteed. Therefore, it is normal for Qi Changhe to not find suitable materials.
Qi Changhe took a sip of tea, "I came to Jiangzhou, I am not familiar with life, and I have to rely on you for some things!"
"Old Man Qi is well-connected and well-informed, I didn't know that someone in Jiangzhou wanted to sell the old scabbard of the Qianlong Imperial Waist Knife. ”
"These things are not antiques, and they can't get into your eyes. However, it is also a famous thing, and if you have time, you might as well take a look with my bad old man, how about it?"
Qi Changhe is very good at talking.
This scabbard, he said after the meal, indicating that he may not want to say it, and he is sure to distinguish the truth from the fake. However, from the meeting to the dinner to Yu Yao taking out the Western Han white jade sword ornament, during this period, perhaps he felt that it would be safer for a master like Yu Yao to help him.
"Old Man Qi thinks highly of me. Yu Yao said modestly, but he didn't say yes, nor did he say no.
Qi Changhe got up, walked to the shelf, and picked up a "Ruyao" mandarin duck droplet, "I took a fancy to this thing just now, come here, take it with you by the way." ”
This mandarin duck water drop is an old imitation of the Republic of China, Yu Yao smiled, "The old man likes it, just take it." ”
"I won't ask the price anymore, I'll leave you 50,000 yuan, don't be too little. ”
Water droplets, also called water injections, are drip utensils when grinding ink. Many of the things in the study room are interesting, the body of the mandarin duck is a container, and the water comes out of the beak;
However, such a Republic of China imitation Ru kiln is at most 8,000 yuan on the market; Yu Yao of course understands that Qi Changhe invites his own palm, which is a disguised appraisal fee.
"Old man, this is looking down on me. Yu Yao Zhengse said, "If it is a serious collection of appraisal fees, it is more than that." But I'm Yu Yao, to my friends, how can I charge more for a few glances?"
Qi Changhe looked at Yu Yao's expression, slightly embarrassed, "I misunderstood the little brother, I really like this mandarin duck droplet." Business, one yard to one yard. ”
"Since it's a business, it's time for me to set the price. If the old man really likes it, take 10,000 yuan, and the price will be fine. ”
"Hahahaha. Okay, then listen to you. ”
Yu Yao nodded, "Now that you've been contacted, when will you go and see it?"
"Tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, I'll go with you then. ”
The next morning, the place where Qi Changhe took Yu Yao was an old-fashioned community, but the area of the house was not small, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and about 150 square meters.
When I entered the door, the inside was basically empty, and there was only an old cabinet left, and the paint was already mottled.
The person I saw was a man in his forties, gentle and elegant, and he spoke very politely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qi, I don't even have a place to sit, this house has already found a good buyer, and it will be transferred next month." ”
"It's okay, just look at things. Qi Changhe said with a smile.
The man opened the cabinet, and it was empty. When he took out the scabbard from the cabinet, Yu Yao glanced at it, as if there was a small piece of porcelain in the corner, but he couldn't really see it. Apart from these two, there was nothing else in the cabinet.
Yu Yao didn't expect that this scabbard was wide open, and he didn't need to look at it at all.
Qi Changhe looked at it carefully.
When he was looking, Yu Yao asked the man, "How can there be only one scabbard, did there be a knife originally?"
The man, who was not an antique dealer at first glance, opened his mouth to explain:
"This is what my father left behind. My father told me about it before he died. This was originally something in the Qing Palace, but it was snatched by the Eight-Nation Coalition in 1900, and it was naturally a knife with a sheath. Later, it was bought by a gentleman surnamed Du in Jiangzhou from Russian soldiers. This Mr. Du brought it back to Jiangzhou and has been passing it on at home; when he broke the four olds, he hid the knife and the scabbard separately, and the scabbard was hidden in the firewood room and was not found, and it has been preserved. ”
"The knife was taken away?" Qi Changhe couldn't help but stop at this time and blurted out.
"The knife was not taken, but I don't know who stole it! This scabbard was bought by my father from Mr. Du's grandson, and it has been hanging on the wall to admire, and it is not accompanied by a knife. ”
"Since the inheritance is orderly, then the name of the sword, since Ling Zun bought it, he should have asked, right?"
"Asked. The man was slightly embarrassed, "Actually, you told me too, but I really have no interest in antiques at all, I just remember that it is the number of ······."
