Most of the clues recorded on the nine-page letter have now been confirmed to have been lost abroad, while others have been in national collections or at auction.

However, after everyone compared and analyzed, they found that there was one thing, which seemed to have no clear ownership and unknown clues.

This is a Yongzheng enamel color family appreciation bottle.

According to the above brief introduction, this bottle is no more than four inches high, and the caliber is not more than an inch and a half, which can be seen to be very small, which is also a feature of Yongzheng enamel color.

The pattern is a mountain stone flower cluster, the rooster stands tall and looks back, the hen takes the chick to forage, and the bottom is the blue material four-character "Yongzheng year".

The enamel color of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, mentioned many times before, is the imperial instrument of the court, which has been handed down very little and is extremely precious.

And this Yongzheng enamel color family appreciation bottle, was in the autumn of the eighteenth year of the Republic of China (1929), in the Yanjing Antique Chamber of Commerce channeling yard, was "sealed and sung" to go.

The goods yard is very common in the Republic of China, it is a place for people to exchange and buy and sell, and the participants are basically antique dealers and professionals. Nowadays, some small circles also call spontaneously organized exchange meetings or small auctions, and Yu Yao was originally taken to a "channeling yard" by Shen Chongyuan.

At that time, transactions were often "in the sleeve". In addition to playing quietly by yourself, the goods yard will also provide prepared large sleeves. Play this, the main thing is to keep it secret and not disclose the transaction price.

The rules of the antique shop during the Republic of China were much more elaborate than now, especially the one that does not look for accounts. Even if you wake up, you know that people are pretending, as long as you pay the money and go out, you have to knock out your front teeth and swallow it in your stomach.

If you go to find the back account, it's not impossible, you usually have to take half of the money, if you make a fuss, it's hard not to talk about the results, and don't want to mix in the industry in the future.

But now it's different, and there are more people looking for post-accounts. And it is not uncommon to come up with the "Consumer Rights Protection Law" to report to the police and file lawsuits.

Many people don't understand that judging from different perspectives, and it is understandable to judge with current social norms or legal provisions. However, in the minds of most veteran players, they still recognize the old rules of the antique shop. It is not a necessity to play antiques, in short, it is the eyesight and mind that plays, you can afford to play, and don't play if you can't afford it.

In this period of the Republic of China, it is easy for two people to trade a thing, but what if a thing is of high value and is valued by a bunch of people?

Then you have to "seal the goods and sing the standard", just like this Yongzheng enamel color family appreciation bottle.

Put things in the middle, and then let many buyers write, seal, and bid. This is also a bit like the "dark shooting" that appeared in the Myanmar jade market.

At the end of the bidding, the designated personnel will sing the bids one by one, and the highest bidder will be his. Take.

This Yongzheng enamel color family appreciation bottle, in the goods yard that year, the highest bidder was the owner of an antique shop surnamed Wang in the East Fourth Archway.

Fifteen thousand oceans!

In the late twenties and early thirties of the last century, a piece of the ocean, in Yanjing, you could eat a meal of shabu mutton in a big restaurant, and in Shanghai, you could have a whole set of Western food for two.

It is not very scientific to say that 15,000 oceans can reach hundreds of thousands to millions now, because the prices were different at that time and at this time, and many situations were also different. The number of people who can come up with hundreds of thousands of millions now is certainly much more than the number of people who can come up with 15,000 oceans back then.

This price is indeed very high.

The ghost eye door did not participate in this trip to the yard, and this enamel color was temporarily taken out by the owner of the goods, and by the time Xu Taiyan got the news, it was already the next day. As a result, he went to the antique dealer surnamed Wang, but the thing had changed hands.

The one who bought it was a businessman surnamed Gao, who was said to be from Huhai and wanted to bring things back. The trail was broken. This merchant surnamed Gao is not from the antique dealer, but in the shop of the antique dealer surnamed Wang, he said that his surname is Gao and he is from Huhai. It's hard to say whether this information is true or false, and later the Ghost Eye Gate didn't find this person in Huhai.

Of course, Xu Taiyan was just worried that he would sell it to foreigners, and if he treasured it himself, it would be nothing.

"This enamel, based on the auction records and collection records I have seen, really does not have much impression. Yu Yao spoke, "Since everyone hasn't heard of it, it's still unknown." ”

"This can be checked, but there are priorities, so let's write it down first. Cai Pengxi said.

The matter of the secret is also considered to be a journey for the time being, and everyone's hanging hearts have basically been put down, and for a while, sudden fatigue and fatigue hit, and yawns came and went.

"In this case, let's go to the hotel and rest first. After enough rest, I'll get up tomorrow and continue the discussion. Xiao Ying proposed.

Yu Yao looked at Xiao Ying and stopped talking.

"It's absolutely no problem to put things here! Before leaving, I'll set up one more induction formation. Xiao Ying immediately said, "If I wasn't completely sure, I would definitely stay guarded." ”

No one said anything more.

Leaving Xiao Ying's courtyard, the group of six people did not go to the center of Yuzhou, so they found the best hotel in the center of this county reform area and opened a room to rest.

While on the way, Yu Yao casually asked Xiao Ying, "You are here alone, how did you get a big round table and so many chairs similar to a reception?"

"The table is useful, buy one get eight free. ”

Yu Yao smiled, "It really came in handy." ”

Both are natural. This is a question that arises on the basis of a high level of trust, because the slightest suspicion can lead to suspicion.

When he arrived at the hotel room, Yu Yao took a shower and quickly fell asleep. When I woke up, I was already on the rise.

Yu Yao picked up his mobile phone, thought about it, and dialed Teng Kunwu first.

Teng Kunwu is still in the recuperation stage, and it is not time to collect.

"Wait a minute. Teng Kunwu quickly picked it up, but said this first.

After more than ten seconds, Teng Kunwu said, "I was in the child's hospital room just now." ”

"Is the kid okay?" asked Yu Yao.

"It's relatively stable, and it's no problem when it comes to collection. You say yours. "Teng Kunwu's mental state is okay.

"Well, I won't say anything else. Yu Yao paused, "Old man, it's done!"

"So fast?!" Teng Kunwu was surprised.

"Yes, the heavy weapons of the golden mouth, as you said, have been put away!

"Tell me about the rest!"

Yu Yao gave a brief introduction, and although Teng Kunwu was now haunted by this matter, he was still excited and sighed again and again.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and Yu Yao was afraid of affecting Teng Kunwu, so he hung up the phone at the right time.

As a result, in less than two minutes, Teng Kunwu called back again, "I was so excited just now, I forgot to mention something important, last night, someone came to look for me!"
