Chapter 154: Chenghua Doucai (II)
Song Xingjun knew Zhuang Rui's work, and in her mind, there must be many opportunities for pawn shops to deal with antiques, maybe there would be a way, and she didn't insist on it anymore, and after her younger brother wrapped the two objects in newspaper for several layers, she followed Zhuang Rui out of the antique market.
In the City God Temple antique market, there are also a few good restaurants, but today is the weekend, there are more tourists, Zhuang Rui asked two, there is no box, simply walked out of the City God Temple, and drove a few people to a five-star hotel next to Nanjing Road.
Song Xingjun was a little surprised by Zhuang Rui's changes, in her impression, Zhuang Rui was a little shy boy, she had also seen Zhuang Rui's mother and sister, judging from their clothes and conversations, they didn't look like rich people, and now when they saw Zhuang Rui driving a car, and the confidence they showed made Song Xingjun a little suspicious that he was denying the wrong person.
"Nurse Song, you can sit casually, Miao Gege doesn't have to be polite, I can invite two beauties to dinner today, that's also to save our face." ”
After entering the hotel's box, Zhuang Rui beckoned everyone to sit down, and casually handed the menu to Miao Feifei and Song Xingjun.
"I want a shark fin bird's nest soup, and then a knife fish, the spring tide mist out of the knife fish, this month to eat just right, by the way, bird's nest soup for two servings, to this lady also have one." Miao Feifei was not polite at all, and took the menu and ordered.
"No...... Don't, don't, just order a few dishes. After Song Xingjun heard Miao Feifei's words, she waved her hand again and again, although she didn't know the price of shark fin bird's nest soup, but just listening to the name, it would probably not be cheap.
"It's okay, bird's nest soup is beautiful, if that stingy ghost doesn't invite guests, I'll invite you to this meal." ”
Miao Feifei's words Zhuang Rui couldn't cry or laugh, I didn't say that I wouldn't invite it, besides, with your little policeman's salary, you can afford to eat here, it's not an old clan, but Zhuang Rui only dared to think about it in his heart.
Song Huan didn't seem to have been to such a high-end hotel, and after coming in, he looked left and right, of course, he was still holding his two treasures tightly in his arms.
After a few people sat down, Zhuang Rui asked Song Xingjun to know that her parents were ordinary workers in Zhonghai, her father had retired, and he was diagnosed with stomach cancer not long ago, and it was only a little more than a month, and the treatment cost alone cost **10,000 yuan, and almost all the family's savings were spent.
Song Huan sat with Zhuang Rui, and after sitting down, he stared at Miao Feifei for a while, then looked at his sister, and finally touched Zhuang Rui's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhuang, you and my sister really met in the hospital? ”
"I would have injured my eye, and when I bandaged it, most of my face was covered, maybe your sister didn't recognize me just now, didn't I recognize it when I heard your sister's voice. Zhuang Rui's answer made Song Huan more satisfied, and carefully placed the two antiques wrapped in newspaper on the table beside him.
Seeing Song Huan's cautious appearance, Zhuang Rui smiled, if he were himself, I am afraid he would be more careful, in fact, when Zhuang Rui handed the chicken bowl cup back to Song Huan, he had already seen it with the aura in his eyes, this is indeed an old object with a year, and judging from the purple aura contained in the cup, it is very likely that it is the famous Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup in various periods since the Ming Dynasty.
If you want to talk about Chenghua Doucai, then you have to introduce the history of the Ming Dynasty before the Chenghua year, there was a very famous emperor in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, although there is the word Yingming in the year name, but Zhu Qizhen, who ascended the throne at the age of nine, is a completely mediocre lord.
After Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, with the successive death and retirement of the important ministers of the Renxuan Dynasty "Sanyang", coupled with the sharp rise of the power of the eunuchs in the harem, the politics of the imperial court became more and more popular, the famous eunuch Wang Zhen is the representative of the dictatorship of the eunuchs of the orthodox dynasty, Yingzong obeyed his words, and he also relied on the majesty of the emperor to exclude dissidents and establish friends.
At that time, the Yuan Dynasty's power in Mobei had been divided into two, Warat and Tatar, the two tribes fought against each other, to the Yingzong Dynasty, Warat became stronger, and constantly harassed the north of the Ming Dynasty, the real power of the Warat Department at that time was in the hands of Taishi Yexian, he often sent people to pay tribute to the court in the name of fraudulently obtaining rewards.
Because at that time, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to the tribute countries, no matter what the tribute, always had to have very rich rewards, and they were distributed according to the head, and they also took a fancy to this point first, and the number of envoys sent continued to increase, and finally increased to more than 3,000 people.
Wang Zhen couldn't bear this, ordered to reduce the reward, and first launched a war against the Ming Dynasty in the name of this, Yingzong was young and vigorous at the time, and wanted to drive the expedition in person, Wang Zhen also wanted to show off his might, and his name was left in history, so he tried his best to pry Yingzong to conquer in person, but because the main force of the Ming court was fighting in the field at that time, it was difficult to transfer back for a while, so the ministers of the court and the central government discouraged Yingzong from not to conquer in person, but in the end he did not change Yingzong's attitude, so he temporarily put together 500,000 troops from near the Beijing Division, and began to conquer in person under the command of Yingzong.
Due to the heavy rain and the lack of food and salary, the morale of the army was very low, and when they went to the vicinity of Datong, they saw the corpses that were also killed first all over the corpses of the Ming army, Yingzong and Wang Zhen were shaken, so they decided to withdraw the army. However, Wang Zhen's hometown was in Ulzhou, very close to Datong, so he decided to retreat through Ulzhou with a detour. Wang Zhen's proposal was immediately opposed by the ministers, who thought that this would delay the retreat, but Wang Zhen could not listen to it, and Yingzong also wanted to give Wang Zhen a chance to return to his hometown, so the army began to move in the direction of Ulzhou.
At this time, Wang Zhen was on a whim, afraid that the army would trample on the crops of his hometown when it passed, and he would be infamous on his back, so he suggested that the army should be withdrawn by the same route, and the precious time was delayed. When the army marched to the vicinity of Huailai, because the baggage had not yet arrived, Wang Zhen ordered to stay in place and wait.
If Yingzong can enter Huailai City to garrison at this time, then history will be rewritten, but history is history, there are not so many assumptions, just outside Huailai City, the Ming army was caught up by the first army and surrounded. also cut off the water source of the Ming army first, and the Ming army was trapped to death. also pretended to negotiate peace first, and launched a general offensive while the Ming army was unprepared. The Ming army was completely annihilated, Yingzong was captured, Wang Zhen was killed by the Ming general Fan Zhong, and the British minister Zhang Fu, the military department Shangshu Kuang Ye and other ministers were killed in battle. This is known as the Civil Engineering Change. Youngjong also began his one-year life in the northern hunt.
Since then, the Ming Dynasty has been in decline.
Zhuang Rui first knew about this history, in fact, he learned about it from the martial arts novel "Pingxia Shadow" written by Liang Yusheng, which was based on the historical event of Yingzong's capture at that time.
After Yingzong was captured, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing in order to stabilize people's hearts, under the leadership of Yu Qian, set up Yingzong's brother Zhu Qiyu as the emperor, as Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty, after Yingzong was released by Wara, he was imprisoned by Emperor Jing and Beijing for eight years, in 1457, Zhu Qizhen took advantage of Emperor Jing's critical illness to launch the "change of seizing the door", and ascended the throne again, changing the Yuan Tianshun.
Chenghua Emperor Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, is the eldest son of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, after the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, he was also re-established as the crown prince, 18-year-old Zhu Jianshen inherited his father's throne and began his 23-year reign, the year name Chenghua.
Zhu Jianshen is not as passionate as his father, he likes to take risks, his character is quiet, cautious, forgiving, trusting ministers, they all say that after the chaos there will be great governance, and eventually Chenghua Dynasty, except for the Yao rebellion in southern Guangxi and the displaced people in the Yunyang Mountains of Jingxiang, the political situation is basically relatively stable, so the Ming Dynasty is called Chenghua Taiping and prosperous.
Due to the political stability, the handicraft production of the Chenghua period has also reached its peak, Doucai porcelain is the masterpiece of the Chenghua period, is a major contribution made by the Chenghua Dynasty to enrich the variety of colored porcelain, Chenghua Doucai is to decorate the outline line of blue and white as a pattern, or make a local pattern and then fill in the color, after low temperature secondary firing.
Zhuang Rui knows, Chenghua Doucai its color is transparent and bright, especially the red color, bright and dazzling, it is difficult to imitate the latter, the yellow color is varied, the green color has shades, the purple is more than the black purple of ripe grapes or the light purple of the eggplant skin, the special is the purple, the color is such as hematite, the surface is dry and dull, the above points can be used as a special basis for identifying Chenghua Doucai.
And the one in Song Huan's hand, if Zhuang Rui thinks he is not mistaken, it should be the real Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, this kind of object is very rare among the people, even if the cup is damaged, its price is immeasurable by Zhuang Rui.
"Nurse Song, if I'm not mistaken, your chicken bowl cup should be the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, this thing was sold at a sky-high price of 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars at Sotheby's Hong Kong auction in 1999, although your one is damaged, but it is only sold for 300,000 yuan, which is still low. ”
Zhuang Rui thought about it in his heart, and still said his opinion, if this was a different person, Zhuang Rui might immediately take out 300,000 yuan to buy this chicken bowl cup, but since Zhuang Rui accidentally saw Song Xingjun's chest last time, he felt a little guilty about the female nurse who had taken care of him for more than ten days, so he didn't think about taking advantage of it.
"This is the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup? I know this thing, the price is quite expensive, Xiao Zhuangzi is good, there is no danger of taking advantage of others......" Miao Feifei seemed to have heard of the name of the chicken bowl cup, and after hearing the words, she immediately cast her eyes on the newspaper wrapped in a ball.
After Zhuang Rui's words came out, Song Xingjun and Song Huan were both stunned, the sister and brother didn't expect this cup to be so valuable, of course, Zhuang Rui was talking about the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup in good condition, as for the value of this one, Zhuang Rui also has no bottom in his heart, but it must be higher than 300,000.
"Miao Gege, how did you know about this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup?"
Just now, Miao Feifei also took this chicken bowl cup in her hand and played with it for a while, but she didn't recognize it, and now she actually said that she had heard of it, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a little strange, he is now clear, Miao Feifei is an antique white.
"Oh, I heard from a friend in Beijing, this year there is a TV series in Beijing, which is based on antiques, and there are a few props in it, which are provided by my friends, including this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, I heard him say that it is worth thirty or forty million, hehe, there were a lot of interesting stories at that time. ”
Zhuang Rui couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this, daring to love this eldest lady's antique knowledge was all heard from the story.
"Sister Feifei, what's the story? ”
Song Xingjun and Miao Feifei will have a hot fight, and when Zhuang Rui was stunned, they were actually sisters, but thinking about Miao Feifei's character, it is understandable.
My friend said that the limelight of his "friendship appearance" of these antiques almost overshadowed the three leading actors of "Huang Ama" Zhang Tielin, "Police Chief" Li Chengru and "Professor Tian" Li Liqun.
Every time these antiques appear, they are escorted by two special props masters, and the other staff members also hold their breath and consciously avoid it, the props master said, every time you have to be careful, handle it gently, he is about to have a heart attack About "antique heart disease", there is also an interesting story in the crew, Ge Cunzhuang, who plays the owner of the antique shop, once had a "rival play" with this precious Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup At that time, Old Man Ge didn't know that this small cup only 2 inches high was a priceless real antique, so he took it in his hand and studied it over and over again: "How much can this small cup be worth?"
Li Chengru, who had really played with antiques, told him seriously: "Mr. Ge, the auction price of this cup is 30 million yuan." Old man Ge's hands trembled at that time, and he quickly put the cup on the table, it is said that after this scene, the old man took several fast-acting heart-saving pills behind his back.
Well, it seems that this TV series hasn't started to play yet, and it is estimated that it will be in June or July, and you will be able to see it then. ”
Miao Feifei's words made Song Huan push the two objects placed on the edge of the table to the middle of the table, presumably because he was afraid that he would accidentally touch the ground.
After Zhuang Rui heard Miao Feifei's words, he thought in his heart: "After this TV series is broadcast, I am afraid that it will set off a collection craze across the country, and if you want to Taobao to pick up leaks, there will be fewer opportunities." "It's still a few months away, Zhuang Rui even wants to quit his job, go to the antique market in a few more cities, and make a lot of money first.
Zhuang Rui guessed right, after the TV series was released, it was indeed popular all over the country, and for a while, the whole people paid attention to the antique collection industry, and even some old ladies in the countryside took a ceramic basin to feed pigs, and also took a car dozens of kilometers away, and went to the county to find experts to identify, and then this kind of thing happened is too numerous to mention.
"Brother Zhuang, then what do you think we should do with this thing, it will definitely be sold, can you help us find a buyer?"
Although Song Huan was a little impulsive, his head was still very smart, from Zhuang Rui and Miao Feifei's description of this chicken bowl cup, he knew that Zhuang Rui did not mean to deceive himself, so he wanted to ask Zhuang Rui to help them sell it......
