Chapter Twenty-Four: Qi Lao's Ambition
After a day of shopping, Yang Fan found three more treasures, a purple clay pot, a jade pendant, and a wooden fish.
There is also a "tea mountain" in the purple clay pot, which is very rare. The purple clay pot is used for a long time, and a sponge-like substance will be attached to the inner wall of the pot, commonly known as "tea mountain". With the tea mountain, even if you pour boiled water, you will have the color and aroma of the tea. Such a pot is a good pot in the eyes of some tea lovers.
This purple clay pot was picked up at the stall, and the stall owner saw that this thing was a little dirty, so he didn't take it seriously at all, and put it in the corner to accumulate dust, which didn't attract anyone's attention, so Yang Fan saw a leak.
The jade pendant is relatively ordinary, but it is the white jade of the Han Dynasty, the carving is average, and it was obtained by Yang Fan for dozens of pieces.
The wooden fish is in the shape of a clump fish, with a hollow abdomen, a central opening of the head, a coiled tail, a sloping back, triangular on both sides, and an oval at the bottom.
However, this wooden fish is a bit of a source, and the materials are extremely precious, so Yang Fan does not plan to sell it for the time being.
When he returned to Dengfeng City, he was approached by Hu Wei and invited him to participate in the appreciation meeting. One of the important reasons why this guy came to Dengfeng City is to participate in the appreciation party.
"If you have any treasures, you might as well bring them. Hu Wei reminded.
"Understood. Yang Fan rushed back from Chaoyang City for this appreciation meeting. Before this, Qi Lao and they had invited him, and he was also quite moved.
Subsequently, Qi Lao called and asked Yang Fan to prepare and gather at his house so that he could bring him in.
Yang Fan just wanted to tell Qi Lao that he also had friends who could bring him in, so there was no need to bother. However, in the end, he did not refuse the kindness of the old man. He had no choice but to call Hu Wei and ask him to go first.
Pack up your things and bring the bamboo pen holder, the purple clay pot, and the bundle of calender paper. Of course, he left two-thirds of this paper, and he may need to use it later.
"I said Lao Yang, you should also buy a car, right?" Zhou Wentao said helplessly.
Otherwise, every time his grandfather asked him to be Yang Fan's driver every time he had something to ask for something, he was speechless!
Yang Fan smiled: "Yes, I'm going to learn to drive another day." ”
In addition, the house is also ready to be replaced, there is no shortage of money recently, I have long had this kind of thought, but I have always felt troublesome, and the time is not available.
When he arrived at Qi's house, in addition to Qi Lao, there were also a group of his old friends.
"Yo! so many calligraphy and paintings?" Everyone saw Yang Fan holding out a large bundle of paper, and subconsciously regarded it as calligraphy and painting, after all, it was a simple ancient paper, and few people took it out.
Yang Fan shook his head and said, "The calender paper I found yesterday." ”
"When was it?" the group of old men were all shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"It should be from the Ming Dynasty, you can help me take a look. ”
It's not that Yang Fan is not sure enough, but he deliberately keeps a low profile and doesn't let people treat him as an alternative. However, he didn't know that what he had done recently had long been regarded as a genius.
A group of old men poured over, especially Qi Lao, if it was really the Ming Dynasty's calender paper, no matter what, he would take it down. In this way, the treasures of the study, except for a few things such as brushes and paperweights, are all top-level treasures.
"Oh! It's really a Ming Dynasty calender paper, so much, it's really hell. ”
They couldn't believe that so many people didn't find out, waiting for this guy to pick up the cheap.
"Where did you get it?"
"Chaoyang. Yang Fan is not afraid of others asking questions.
Upon closer inspection, it was found that there was still wax residue in the deep recesses of the paper. The reason for this situation is that during processing, the paper is probably powdered and dyed, and the sketch is engraved on the hardwood mold, and the wax is used to calender the paper, and the convex pattern on the mold is due to the pressure to present a bright and transparent picture.
Those old guys were careful one by one, and they all wanted to swallow this batch of ancient papers alone. They know better than Yang Fan the preciousness of this kind of paper.
The Tang Dynasty scripture paper, the Song Dynasty's jute paper, white hemp paper, Chengxintang paper, Ming Dynasty white cotton paper and yellow cotton paper, Qing Dynasty Kaihua paper and Kaihua Bang paper, late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China produced jade version of rice paper, ancient Korean and ancient Japanese Korean paper, leather paper, Minong paper, etc., all represent the pinnacle of papermaking technology in that era.
And calender paper is the king of these fine papers, or rather, this kind of paper is already a kind of art, a combination of craft and art.
According to records, during the Qianlong period, the ministers at that time were rewarded with this paper, and they also had to wash their hands and burn incense when they used it. You can see how solemn it is, and how precious it is. Qianlong likes luxury, so the Qing Dynasty luxury paper wax paper, sprinkled gold paper, color paper, pattern paper, pattern paper, gold foil paper, etc. emerge in endlessly, and even more than 3 meters of painted patterns, wax and gold sprinkling paper paper.
"Xiao Fan, don't bother with this calender paper! Qi Lao spoke first.
"Lao Qi, you are really unkind!"
"It's true, I don't know how to be satisfied with so many treasures. ”
"Lao Qi, everyone knows your thoughts, but if you want to swallow it alone, you have to ask us if we agree. ”
……
Yang Fan didn't say a word, and these old guys quarreled regardless of their faces. Yang Fan is very depressed, you should have to ask me if I agree, right?
Seeing that they couldn't get a result, they stared at him one by one, Yang Fan's hair stood on end, and he said stubbornly: "You guys can discuss!"
In the end, several old men divided up and gave more than 500,000 yuan to Yang Fan, which made Yang Fan's shriveled wallet bulge immediately.
The other two treasures, the purple clay pot of the Qing Dynasty, and the bamboo carved pen holder were snatched away. The bamboo carved pen holder was taken away by Qi Lao and given a million.
Because of the green cow inkstone, the royal ancient ink, and other reasons, Qi Lao is particularly interested in the treasure of the study, or he is ambitious, and wants to make up a set of top study treasures.
The purple clay pot was grabbed by Kong Lao, who loves tea, 650,000 yuan, and there are good things from "Tea Mountain", and he has been looking for it for a long time.
Tea in the purple sand teapot even overnight is not **, in the ordinary porcelain teapot overnight tea can not be drunk; purple sand teapot adsorption performance is good, the color becomes darker after a long period of use, the luster is oily, it is worth appreciating and playing.
It is precisely because of this that Kong Lao has a soft spot for purple clay pots.
In addition, the purple clay pot generally belongs to the literati art, and the simple and elegant taste pursued by the literati in the past is basically what the literati pursued in the past. Just like the literati paintings in Chinese painting, it integrates poetry, calligraphy, painting, and printing. If we look at the purple clay pot with the eyes of literati art, it embodies another form of literati painting.
"Later, the appreciation will be more humble for the two of you. The others spoke.
Especially Lao Qi, this guy has gotten too many excellent products recently, so remind him that if he sees a good treasure later, don't rob them again.
"Haha! Okay, I'll take a look at this appreciation. Qi Lao said with a smile.
"It's better to do that. ”
Yang Fan was empty-handed, a little dazed. He hasn't participated in the appreciation meeting yet, and he has no goods in his hand, so do you want him to participate?
