Zheng Hua sighed, he also knew that Niu Hong had offended Zhuang Rui this time, but the relationship between the elders of the family and the deceased old ship king was really good, and he couldn't help but persuade a few words, who knew that Niu Hong didn't give himself face and didn't say anything, Zhuang Rui, who seemed to have always been very kind, actually moved the real fire and did not back down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Alright, Ji Yi, come over here and see how much these things are worth?"

Niu Hong carried a large travel bag behind him, rushed into the box gambling hall like a gust of wind, put the travel bag on the gambling table, and began to pick up things from the inside.

Niu Hong's move made Zhuang Rui stunned for a moment, but with the object he took out, Zhuang Rui's eyes suddenly widened, the silver fetal enamel painted lion pattern slender neck bottle? Ming Yongle sweet white glaze dark flower peony pattern plum bottle? There is also an unopened scroll, looking at its appearance, it should also be an old object.

"Damn, such a precious thing, you actually put a travel bag together? If this is true, it will be greatly discounted if it is broken......

Zhuang Rui was so angry in his heart that he almost scolded his mother, this Niu Hong was too vulgar, he hadn't had time to use his aura to distinguish the authenticity of porcelain, but just looking at Niu Hong's actions, Zhuang Rui couldn't wait to go up and beat him.

Since entering the antique shop, Zhuang Rui has taken care of these ancestral objects, you know, these things are not replicable, and if you damage one piece, you will lose one, if you replace it with Zhuang Rui, you will definitely find a box of similar size, and put shredded paper filling inside, so that these porcelains will be brought out, but I didn't expect Niu Hong to stuff porcelain in a bag casually, I really don't know how his brain grows.

Zheng Hua also smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Niu Hong to actually take out these things, he shook his head at the moment, turned around and walked out the door, he wanted to call and urge that person, only when he came, could he control Niu Hong, the demon king of the world.

"Niu Shao, please wait a moment, I'll call the appraiser to come over......" Ji Yi took out the walkie-talkie and walked to the door and called out to someone.

In the casino, the casino uses valuable antiques as collateral or directly sells them for chips, generally speaking, the casino will not accept them, but there are many pawn shops in Macau, large and small, and you can pawn things out of the casino gate, and then take the money to continue gambling.

In all the pawn shops in Macau, there are many dead pawn items, and if you have a discerning eye, you can definitely find a lot of good things, such as some luxury goods such as some world-famous watches, where the price may be only one-tenth or even less of the original price.

Of course, due to the large number of people traveling to Macao from various countries around the world, there are also some pawn shops with mixed qualities, specializing in making some fakes and putting them in the dead area.

However, there is no pawn shop on the gambling ship, so the casino has changed the rules a little, and has raised an antique jewelry appraisal expert, if someone takes out such items to mortgage or sell them for exchange chips, the gambling ship also accepts, but the price given is a few points lower than the pawn shop, and the conditions are very harsh.

After about five or six minutes, a thin old man in his early sixties walked into the gambling hall, and when he saw two pairs of four pieces of porcelain placed on the gambling table, his eyes lit up, and without waiting for Ji Yi to say hello, he walked quickly to the table, picked up the silver fetus enamel painted lion pattern slender neck bottle, and examined it carefully.

"Mr. Ji, can I take a look at these porcelain?"

In the few minutes waiting for the appraiser to arrive, Zhuang Rui observed it from afar, these pieces of porcelain are indeed genuine, the white aura is rich in it, faintly changing to yellow, according to Zhuang Rui's experience, this is definitely the official kiln work of the Qing Dynasty, because if it is the Ming Dynasty, the aura will be yellow, he has seen a lot of objects, almost a hundred times unpleasant.

And those two pieces are a bit like Ming Yongle's sweet white glazed dark flower peony pattern plum bottle, the aura inside is all yellow, and the color is dark and slightly purple, which is even better than the two enamel colors, and it must be genuine.

However, the porcelain of the official kilns of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty can be said to be a lot of fine products, and its artistic value and market price are not much better than the treasures of the Song and Ming dynasties.

In terms of market value, the Qianlong porcelain is slightly more expensive than the Yongle plum vase, because the price of the single-glazed porcelain of the Ming Dynasty has not been very high, much worse than that of the Song Dynasty, but in recent years there has been an upward trend.

Seeing such a beautiful object, Zhuang Rui was also a little happy at this time, and wanted to play with it in his hand.

"This ......"

Ji Yi looked at Niu Hong, this thing has not been sold yet, the ownership is still Niu Hong's, and he can't be the master.

Seeing Zhuang Rui's slightly urgent look, Niu Hong seemed to have found a sense of superiority, snorted from his nose, and said, "Tubaozi, look, I don't know ......."

Zhuang Rui's attention at this time was all attracted by these exquisite porcelain, and he didn't bother to fight with Niu Hong, so he stepped forward, picked up the remaining silver tire enamel painted lion pattern slender neck bottle, and looked at it carefully.

This piece of enamel porcelain, the upper half of the bottle body is a slender neck, the lower half is spherical, the ground has a circle foot, the inside and mouth edge of the bottle, the edge of the circle foot and the outer bottom are exposed, the rest are decorated with enamel painting, the neck is a long string of branches hanging lotus flowers, each group has three, arranged in an orderly manner.

The spherical part is decorated with a lion playing with a ball picture, embellished with clouds, the scene is lively; the neck and shoulders are decorated with an inverted lotus petal pattern as a separation, the picture distribution is relatively reasonable, and the bottom center falls on the "Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty" six-character three-line seal book without a circle and the seal script is engraved in the Yin section, and the decoration of the shape of the utensils and the enamel painting is completely the practice of the porcelain of the Qianlong official kiln of the Qing Dynasty.

The whole piece of porcelain is extremely well preserved, there is no trace of bumps on it, the glaze is bright, the pulp is thick, it should be a hand-me-down work with a wide open door, and there are people who have played and appreciated it in the past dynasties.

Put down the enamel porcelain in his hand, Zhuang Rui picked up the Yongle plum bottle and watched it, the plum bottle is also called the Jing bottle, which first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, the Song and Liao periods were more popular, in the Song Dynasty, the folk produced a lot of plum bottles, which can generally be seen in large and small wine shops.

After the Ming Dynasty, the plum bottle changed a lot in the shape of the vessel, the shoulder was particularly plump, almost into a straight line, the waist below the straight, and the bottle mouth was made very narrow, only the plum blossom branch could be inserted, so it was called the plum bottle.

This plum vase is a typical Ming Dynasty style, the shoulders are richer, the shin is fat, the whole body is white glaze, the quality is intact, the shape is very perfect, Zhuang Rui in some Ming and Qing porcelain appreciation catalogs, has not seen such a quality of plum vase, it should have been lost abroad very early, but I don't know how to fall into the hands of Niu Hong.

The most rare thing is that these four pieces of porcelain are a complete pair, you know, the objects that have been handed down for hundreds of years, I don't know how many times have changed, the war is chaotic, it is not easy to keep the condition intact, to make a pair, it is one in ten thousand, like many auction houses to auction porcelain, most of them are unique pieces, very few pairs of objects.

Many people who love to collect, in order to put together the objects in their hands, do not hesitate to spend huge financial resources and energy, often still can't ask for it, and the pair of rare porcelain, in the market price, is not as simple as one plus one equals two, that is to increase in geometric multiples.

"Huh, what's this ash?"

When Zhuang Rui was playing, he turned the mouth of the plum bottle upside down to look at the bottom of the bottle, but the ashes were sprinkled from the mouth of the bottle, and all of them fell on the red carpet, Zhuang Rui squatted down and rubbed it with his hands, feeling somewhat similar to cigarette ash.

"This thing won't use this as an ashtray, will it?!"

Zhuang Rui had this idea in his heart, and then turned the plum bottle upside down, smelled it at the mouth of the bottle, and it was really a smell of cigarette oil, this discovery made Zhuang Rui a little crying and laughing, the thing was brought by Niu Hong, this thing has nothing to do with him, this guy is really a fucking young master.

After shaking his head and putting down the plum bottle in his hand, Zhuang Rui picked up the painting scroll, untied the red rope tied in the middle, slowly opened the painting and spread it on the gambling table, his actions attracted Qin Xuanbing and others to come over, but the old man who looked at the porcelain was still observing the porcelain in his hand, and did not care about Zhuang Rui's actions.

"Lang Shining's court paintings?!"

When the scroll was opened, Zhuang Rui was taken aback, although he had measured this as an ancient painting with aura earlier, but he didn't expect that it would be Lang Shining's palace oil painting.

Lang Shining is not Chinese, but Italian, formerly known as Giuseppe Gastrione, born in Milan, Qing Kangxi Emperor 54 years as a Catholic Jesuit monk to China missionary, then entered the palace into the Ruyi Museum, became a court painter, participated in the design of the Western building of the Old Summer Palace, successively served in the Kang, Yong, Qian dynasties, engaged in painting in China for more than 50 years.

As a foreigner, Lang Shining enjoyed the weight of three generations of emperors, and the official title was the court painter of the three products, which was also unique in the Chinese dynasties, and his paintings integrated Chinese and Western techniques into one, forming a fine and realistic effect, creating a new style of painting, and leaving a strong color in the history of Chinese painting.

Lang Shining's works are mainly stored in the Palace Museum and the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and individual works are also in the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art in the United States and the East Asian Art Museum in Berlin, Germany, but there are very few lost to the people and overseas, except for some large museums, it is extremely difficult to see.

And this oil painting is painted by Lang Shining for the Qianlong concubine, the beauty on the painting is dressed in a clear palace dress, a wide neckline, wide sleeves fluttering, and a simple and elegant bun.

There are a total of six concubines painted on it, their physiognomy and form are different, and the abstract painting school of the ancient lady picture, this painting is painted with Western techniques, its appearance is realistic, and the charming appearance of the woman in the picture is completely displayed, which is extremely rare in the history of ancient Chinese painting.

Zhuang Rui remembered an allusion he had seen, which was that Emperor Qianlong had asked Lang Shining to give him a total of thirteen portraits of the emperor's concubines, and Qianlong only saw this painting three times when the painting was completed, 700,000 years old and abdicated, and then sealed the painting in the box, and ordered anyone who eavesdropped on this painting would be executed by Ling Chi, that is, the famous "Heart Writing Zhiping" painting, which is now in the Cleveland Museum of the United States, was lost when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered China.

Zhuang Rui once saw the rubbings of the painting "Heart Writing Zhiping", and the 13 women painted on the scroll are all half-length portraits wearing a winter crown and a winter dragon robe, which is very regular.

The painting in front of him is dressed casually, it should be painted by Qianlong and his concubine when he was playing in the garden, in the corner of the painting, there is the signature of "Chen Lang Shining", which is indeed the genuine product of Lang Shining, but Zhuang Rui has never seen this painting in any literature.

Zhuang Rui heard that Lang Shining's "Deer in the Autumn Forest" was auctioned in Hong Kong at a sky-high price of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and the characters on this painting need to be verified, and its significance is greater than that "Deer in the Autumn Forest", if it really comes out, it will definitely cause an uproar in the painting and calligraphy collection circles.

Zhuang Rui's brain turned quickly, when he saw these porcelain, he was surprised at most, but when he saw this painting, his first reaction was to take it for himself, yes, he is now thinking about how to make this painting his own, you know, this is a national treasure-level cultural relic, Zhuang Rui's current collection of objects, in terms of market value alone, none of them can be compared.

After the whole painting was spread out, the old man also stretched out his head to take a look, maybe he had a specialization, he was not very interested in the painting, but after a glance, he paid attention to the porcelain vase in his hand.

"Old plan, do you have a good look, hurry up and estimate the price, and get the chips!"

Zhuang Rui and the old man looked at each other, they all looked like they couldn't put it down, but Niu Hong, who was waiting on the side, was a little impatient, as a gambler with red eyes, even if these things were precious, in Niu Hong's heart, they were not as pleasing to the eye as those chips on the table.

The thin old man reluctantly put the porcelain vase on the table, then pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked Niu Hong: "Niu Shao, I don't know what the origin of these objects is?"

The old man asked, it is also a rule, the casino does not accept stolen goods, otherwise it will be found by someone, it is also very troublesome, if this thing is not taken by Niu Hong, Ji Yi will not take care of him at all, they open a casino, and it is not a pawnshop, it is also a troublesome thing to accept and resell, so although this casino has an antique appraiser, the things are very little.
