Chapter 147: Dragon Robe
"The 'furoshiki' of the Jiaqing period is rare! It was mainly found in the Qianlong period. Yu Yao couldn't help asking, "Where?" I'll take a look." ”
Xie Zhihao raised his hand and pointed, "Oh, over there." ”
Yu Yao walked over, this is a pastel passion flower furoshi bottle. The bottle is standing in the cabinet, but the background picture is very detailed, including the bottom paragraph, indeed: the Jiaqing year of the Qing Dynasty.
"Oh, I remember, when Qianlong was the emperor, he did burn a batch of furoshiki, but the payment must have been Jiaqing. Don't look at the high auction price, it is estimated that it will also break the head. Yu Yao said as he watched.
"Furoshiki" is a special porcelain pattern popular in the Qianlong period. On the basis of the original pattern of a piece of porcelain, draw a wrapping scarf and tie it around the shoulder, which will be very realistic.
This porcelain gives people the feeling of hard texture, but the scarf gives people a soft feeling, in contrast, the impact is still very large, and the beauty is more obvious in this contrast.
"It's just that this good thing can't be sold. Xie Zhihao said on the side.
The two then looked at the preview area again, Yu Yao roughly knew it, and he didn't want to talk to Xie Zhihao too much, and then proposed to leave.
The preview has three days, which is to consider the flow of people, in fact, it is basically finished in half a day, because it is impossible to look at every piece in detail.
Xie Zhihao is not very interested in the auction, because the auction is basically useless after he succeeds, and he came mainly to determine this bronze Dun.
Xie Zhihao had to invite Yu Yao to lunch, but Yu Yao was about to find a way to refuse, when the phone suddenly rang.
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll go right away!" Yu Yao hung up the phone and said to Xie Zhihao, "I'm sorry, it's really a bit urgent, I'll invite you another day." ”
Xie Zhihao looked at it and didn't ask much.
When Yu Yao went out, he saw that Shen Ge was busy, so he waved his hand from afar and left.
After going out, Yu Yao called a car, and then dialed the phone back.
The call was made by Pu Jie.
"I was wondering just now, I just said there was something, and you then said, 'Okay, good', and thought you were crazy!"
"The Hong Kong fat man I met in the porcelain capital came to Jiangzhou, and I was with him at the Tianhe Autumn Auction Preview. ”
"What's the matter? This fat man is so annoying?"
"That's not it, he's quite good at getting things done, but he likes to sell things to foreigners, and I can't stand it. ”
"That's why he can make money!" Pu Jie responded, "However, it's okay to have three melons and two jujubes in tatters, and I'm also quite tired of getting good things out." There was no way before, but now it's better to stay. ”
"That's it. What do you want me to see?"
"You haven't eaten, have you?" ”
After the two met, they found a Sichuan restaurant with a good environment and asked for a small private room. I ordered four dishes, watercress fish, saliva chicken, husband and wife lung slices, and fish-flavored shredded pork. I didn't ask for wine, I served a few cans of Wang Laoji, a few bowls of rice, and talked while eating.
"My dad, I met an old man named Tong Rentang. ”
"Tong Ren Tang? Which Tong is a single person, or is it a child's child?"
"Shan Liren, that Tong. It is not the benevolence of righteousness, but the people of the people. This old man often goes to the provincial expo, and he has known my dad since he came and went. The old man is an only daughter, who settled abroad in his early years, and always wants to take him out, but he has always disagreed. But in the past few years, my body has not been as good as before, and now I agree. ”
"Oh, this is leaving, there are some things that you don't want to take abroad, you want to sell at home?"
"Why don't you say it's a coincidence! Look at it, you annoy Hong Kong Fat to sell things abroad, and then there is an old man who doesn't want things to flow out!"
Yu Yao put down his chopsticks, "He has a lot of things?"
"Listen to what my dad means, in fact, there are not many old things, most of them are still from the Republic of China. However, he has a Qing Dynasty dragon robe!"
"Dragon robe, it's hard for this thing to flow into the people!"
Pu Jie said, "You don't need ordinary things, it's because of the special that I have to let you palm your eyes! Aren't all dragon robes made of silk? You can even recognize such a dirty piece of silk!"
The dragon robe is not as good as conventional silk products, and it can't be bad at all, and if something goes wrong, it's a matter of losing your head. It usually takes several top craftsmen years to complete, and each piece is perfect.
"To say that the dragon robe of the Qing Dynasty was lost to the people, there are only two possibilities. Yu Yao pondered, "The first is that the last emperor Puyi was thrown out; the second is that before and after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, there was a lot of chaos, and some eunuchs and palace maids also took away a batch of things. ”
"The source will definitely not be able to escape what you said. Pu Jie said, "As for this one, I'll make an appointment this afternoon and take a look." ”
"You don't first ask me if I'm free in the afternoon. ”
"When you hear such a good thing, you have to be free if you don't have time!" Pu Jie thought for a moment, "However, there is indeed a little problem. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I had a phone call with Mr. Tong in the morning, and he said that this dragon robe is moon-white. I wondered, aren't the dragon robes all bright yellow? The magnificent background, in addition to the dragon pattern, is also full of flowers!"
"That's not a problem. What you are talking about is the emperor's court clothes, which is called the twelve chapters of Huang Di'er, and the main picture is nine dragons, eight on the outside, and one on the inside, the so-called Ninety-Five. In addition to the previous dynasty, the emperor also had to do other things, such as sacrifices, such as celebrations, such as some banquets, and such as daily life, the system and color of the dragon robe are different.
"I see. This month's white color gives people a more relaxed feeling, that is the emperor's casual clothes, right? Well, casual dragon robe, a visit to the imperial garden or something, appropriate. ”
"That's called regular wear. Yu Yao then asked again, "Where did this old man's dragon robe come from?"
"This must be asked, although my dad said that this old man is good, but what if he comes in the wrong way?" Pu Jie responded, "It's good to ask." Like you said, it should be Pu Yi who was left upside down, which is their family's ancestral. ”
"Their ancestors have such a background?"
"Not really. He said that during the Republic of China, his grandfather used to work in a foreigner-owned bank in Yanjing, and at that time, someone mortgaged several dragon robes in the bank for Dayang, and finally did not redeem them. The bank later withdrew from Huaxia, and it seemed that it was in a hurry, and something fell in the treasury. There was a box in it, and his grandfather whispered. ”
"This is the dragon robe in the box?"
That's what he said. Do you think, except for Pu Yi, who can mortgage the dragon robe to the bank?"
"Well, it's possible. After Pu Yi abdicated, he lived in the palace for many years. Especially when he grows up, he still wants to restore, holding the treasures in the palace, some of them are directly given away, and some are mortgaged and exchanged for money, so as to attract some forces. ”
