Therefore, this statue of the gilded treasure king of the Qianlong court, after the expert judges that it is true, can know that it is late rather than early according to the golden color.

However, Yu Yao saw that this old gentleman was an expert, and he was placed in a prominent position in the store, so it was estimated that there would be no bargain in terms of price.

But since he spoke, Yu Yao responded to the question: "I don't know how many people can be invited?"

"Five million Hong Kong dollars. The old gentleman looked at Yu Yao, "I won't say much about such a perfect appearance, but it's hard to find." ”

What he said was the truth, this kind of quality is really not easy to touch, but the price is also the price, if Yu Yao doesn't want to collect it, he still won't make a move.

"I see, thank you, sir. ”

After listening to Yu Yao's noncommittal words, the old gentleman also knew that he would not invite. However, he had decided that the young man had good eyesight, so he was still very polite.

"What kind of things do you like? I have gold and bronze statues here, and a few porcelain and jade, and nothing else. ”

"I like things for the right price. Yu Yao smiled, "The old gentleman's eyesight is very high, I'm afraid it's not easy for me to make a move." ”

The old gentleman smiled slightly, "If you are like you, my business will not be able to be done!"

At this moment, Shen Ge called out to Yu Yao, "Come and see!"

Yu Yao nodded at the old gentleman and stepped forward, but the old gentleman hesitated a little and followed. When the young man saw that the old gentleman was also coming, he couldn't help but take two steps back.

Shen Ge was looking at a gold-painted pastel lantern bottle.

The lantern bottle, as soon as you hear the name, you know that it looks like a lantern. The mouth of the circle, the neck is slightly bundled, and the belly is a long cylinder, not as round as a lantern, and the foot is circled.

The neck and shoulders are painted with gold in the neck, and the feet are painted in gold.

The abdomen is a pastel painting, the painting is very interesting, presumably Shen Ge is concerned about this.

In the picture, the background is the Jinluan Treasure Palace, and on the dragon chair, it is not a human being, but a rabbit. Generally, people like to call it Rabbit Lord.

The rabbit lord's dress is the same as that of the emperor, the crown dragon robe, and the depiction of pastel pictures are very in place and fine.

The lantern bottle was not small, more than half a meter high, and was placed in a transparent safe attached to the wall, which was locked.

Yu Yao looked at it for a while, and Shen Ge asked on the side, "Painting the emperor as a rabbit? This is a product of the Republic of China period, right?"

Yu Yao first looked at the old gentleman, and seeing that he was silent, he said to Shen Ge, "If it is something from the Republic of China, how can it be placed in such a conspicuous position and locked up?"

"Huh?" Shen Ge was stunned for a moment, then leaned closer to Yu Yao and whispered, "Could it be an official kiln?"

Yu Yao asked rhetorically, "You want to buy it?"

"I just found it interesting. ”

When Yu Yao heard this, he immediately looked at the old gentleman, "Old gentleman, this pastel-painted gold lantern bottle, I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?"

"This one is not for sale!" the old gentleman shook his head slightly, but firmly.

"Huh?" Yu Yao couldn't help but pause.

"This is my collection. To put it bluntly, it is placed in the store to attract customers. "The old gentleman is very simple.

"I see. Yu Yao understood, and he had no scruples when he spoke to Shen Ge, "This is indeed an official kiln, an official kiln of Qianlong." ”

The old gentleman nodded, "Good eyesight, good knowledge." ”

"Is it really an official kiln?" Shen Ge was stunned, "Why have I never seen it?"

"Because it is too little, the bottom paragraph should not be 'Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty', but with the word 'Xinmao'. ”

The old gentleman thought about it and took out the key, "Usually people who come will only find it strange." I'm glad to meet a master like you today, so please get started!"

After opening the cabinet, Yu Yao cautiously got started, looked at the bottom paragraph, and also let Shen Ge take a look. Sure enough, it was the red color four-character seal book: Xin Mao Jishou.

After reading it, Yu Yao immediately returned to his original position. It's tens of millions of things, it's too expensive, so it's better to be careful.

The old gentleman re-locked the safe and smiled, "I have only heard of two pieces of the Qianlong official kiln where the rabbit lord was the emperor, one is my lantern bottle, and the other is a large gold bottle, which is much bigger than this, and it should be in the hands of a British collector." ”

"This magnificent, complicated style is indeed like the works of the middle and late Qianlong official kilns. Shen Ge couldn't help but nodded, "I remember, there is a saying in the "Historical Records", it is said that the star is too white, and the emperor comes to the court. Chenxing is also called Rabbit Star, this is Qianlong's self-comparison of diligence, right?"

"This young lady is also erudite, but not in that sense. ”

"Oh?" Shen Ge looked at the old gentleman.

The old gentleman pointed at Yu Yao, "Your friend must know!"

Shen Ge looked at Yu Yao again, Yu Yao nodded, "Let's go too, turn around." ”

Shen Ge didn't ask any more questions, so he grabbed Yu Yao's arm.

The old gentleman took out a business card, "Meeting is fate, if this gentleman doesn't dislike it, how about getting acquainted with him?"

Yu Yao took the business card, and the name under the "Fortune Antique" was: Miao Tianfu.

"Mr. Miao, I didn't bring my business card today. ”

"Can you leave some contact information? I'm in the mainland, and I also have some business. ”

"Good. Yu Yao was hypocritical if he excused himself again, so he left his name and a mobile phone number.

"Where is Mr. Xiaoyu?"

"Actually, I'm also in the antiques business. ”

"I see, I said, how can ordinary players have such eyesight?!"

"I'm smiling!Mr. Miao, don't bother much, there will be a period later. Yu Yao took his leave.

Miao Tianfu delivered it to the door, "If you need help on Hong Kong Island, you can contact me." ”

"You're welcome, stay. ”

Leaving the Fortune Antique, the two walked along Morro Street for a while. Before discussing where to go for dinner, Shen Ge naturally had to ask this rabbit master what was going on with him becoming the emperor.

"Qianlong was born in 1711, the year of Xinmao, and belonged to the rabbit. Sixty years and one Jiazi, and it is another year of Xinmao. This pastel lantern bottle is the official kiln porcelain used to celebrate Qianlong's 60th birthday. It is absolutely impossible to do more of the same content, so it is extremely rare. ”

"And how do you know?"

"I read a book from the Republic of China, saying that there is a large pastel bottle, which was bought by a Belgian from a shop in Liulichang by a Belgian, and later sold to an Englishman. Today's pair seems to be the one that this Miao boss said, and now it is in the UK. However, there was a lot of controversy about this large bottle at the time, and some people thought that it was a fabrication attached by a master. ”

"I see. When I see you today, you are even more convinced!"

"That's right, the glaze and craftsmanship of this lantern bottle must be an official kiln! Such a thing could not have been made too much at that time, and it is difficult to say a few pieces, let alone those that have been handed down to this day. I'm afraid it's impossible to run into it again!"
