Chapter 292: The Twelve Flower God Cup

………… By six o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Dong had already driven Li Yuncong's Porsche out of the house, and after feeling the fun of driving a luxury sports car in the past few days, Liu Donghai really liked the feeling of galloping.

And the navigation system in the car can also help him find his place.

Because Changping Shahe is outside the Sixth Ring Road, it is too far away from where Liu Dong lives, so it took more than an hour to drive on the road, and after arriving at the ground, he took a lot of unjust roads, and after asking many people, he finally found the driving school mentioned on the phone.

There are two guards with big shoulders and round waists standing at the entrance of the driving school, in the eyes of ordinary people, they look burly and powerful, and they are not easy to mess with at all, but in Liu Dong's eyes, he only needs two punches to be able to hit them lightly.

And these two people are obviously very discerning, and when they saw Liu Dong's Porsche coming, they didn't even check it, so they let him in directly.

Entering the courtyard gate, it is a very spacious compound, surrounded by a circle of bungalows, the house should have been built for many years, the cement plastering of the wall has been alkalinized a lot, revealing the red bricks that have begun to turn black inside.

There are already a lot of cars parked in the small square in the center of the compound at the moment, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Honda, Toyota, etc., and there are not many sports cars like Liu Dong. So when Liu Dong's Porsche drove in, it attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Liu Dong?" As soon as the car door was locked, a familiar and old voice came from behind him.

"Old man Ma?" turned around. Looking at a white cardigan. Black baggy trousers. A pair of old Beijing cloth shoes under his feet, the old man who looks energetic, isn't it the old man Ma who was with Wen Lao and Liang Lao when he was in the Zhao family's courtyard?

"Why did you come here too?" Seeing an acquaintance, Liu Dong hurriedly walked up.

"Hehe, why can you come, can't I, an old man, come?" said Old Man Ma. He hadn't known this for less than a day, but he was polite. A young man with an intimate temperament on his body still has a very good impression in his heart. Therefore, it is rare for the old man who is usually a little strict to make jokes.

"Look at what you always said, I didn't mean that!" Liu Dong hurriedly said.

"Hehe, okay, I'll have a laugh with you!But why did you come alone?" After noticing that no one in Liu Dong's car got down, Ma Lao frowned and asked.

Hearing this, he looked at the young man who was strong and strong behind Old Man Ma, with his temples bulging high on both sides. Liu Dong understood what the old man meant.

"Ma Lao, it's okay, if I want to leave. All the people here combined can't stop me!"

Hearing Liu Dong's confident words, Ma Lao looked at it for a moment before he said with a smile: "I can't see it, you still have this kind of ability!"

"Okay, don't say more! Since we met, let's go together, and we just have a care!"

Liu Dong has no problem with this. So I nodded happily.

Then, the two of them, plus Ma Lao's bodyguards, followed the signs posted around, and came to a room on the left, and after walking in, they found that it was like a small auditorium, quite open, and all the seats were arranged in a stepped downward manner, even if they sat in the back, it would not affect the line of sight.

After coming in, Liu Dong paid 100,000 yuan to Ma Lao, then received two signs, and found three seats at the back of the venue and sat down.

"Old man, there are quite a few people here today!" Looking at the small hall that is almost half full, there should be at least nearly two hundred people, excluding bodyguards and drivers and other figures, I am afraid that there are no less than sixty or seventy people who come here to participate in the auction.

"Well, it's a lot! It seems that there should be a lot of good things at this auction! Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people!" Old Man Ma said with a smile after glancing left and right.

"Good things?" Liu Dong's eyes lit up.

Seeing him like this, the old man smiled, "Yes, although there are more fake things in this underground auction, there are also a lot of real things, and the sources of their auction items are mostly underground casinos and tomb robbers, and there is even no shortage of stolen goods stolen by bandits, so there are a lot of good things, and because of the improper reasons, the price of the auction items is often two or three percent lower than the market price." Therefore, these underground auctions are very popular with private collectors!"

After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong nodded, thinking that the priceless Xue Ji's crane painting in his hand was not from the collateral of the Black Tiger Gang.

Just as the two were talking, the time gradually moved towards eight o'clock.

As the door closed, a middle-aged man wearing a black shirt and black trousers, who looked like an urban white-collar worker, walked up, but this person looked a little strange with a black mask covering most of his face.

"I'm glad that you can come to this auction, this auction will also be hosted by me, the rules are well understood, not much to say below, in order to save your time, I announce the start of this auction. Now look at our first lot!"

As he finished speaking, a muscular man with a strong physique, also wearing a mask, walked up with a tray covered with a red cloth and placed it on the counter in the center.

When the auctioneer lifted the red cloth, twelve delicate little quilts appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup!"

As soon as these words were announced, Liu Dong couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and there was some commotion in the hall, but the old man Ma who was sitting next to Liu Dong was still there, as if he hadn't heard it just now.

Noticing the surprised look in Liu Dong's eyes, Ma Lao smiled, "Xiaodong, this is an underground auction, so the rules of previous auctions do not apply here." Therefore, don't look at him and say that it is the 'Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup', but you may not know whether it is imitated by Daoguang or Guangxu, and you don't need to bother to think about it before you see it with your own eyes! This kind of selling dog meat with a sheep's head is a common means in these auctions, in order to earn those fools who do not know how to appreciate antiques and participate in this kind of auction for the first time. ”

Hearing Elder Li's explanation, Liu Dong quickly understood.

From ancient times to the present, there are too many porcelain imitations of the previous dynasties, such as the Ming Dynasty, which often imitates the porcelain of the Song Dynasty, and the five famous kilns are frequent visitors. In the Qing Dynasty, Xuande blue and white, Wanli Wucai and Chenghua Doucai, these fine porcelain of the Ming Dynasty were imitated in large quantities in the Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were many porcelain imitations of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, it is not that the value of imitation porcelain is not high, if it is porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, it does not even have to be much worse than the original. However, if it is an imitation of the Xianfeng, Daoguang, and Guangxu dynasties, the value will be very different.

"Let's go, let's go too!"

Looking at the people who were interested in these twelve sets of flower god cups, they stepped forward to check the authenticity of the porcelain, and Liu Dong and Ma Lao also lined up behind.

Because of the large number of people and the limited time, each person only had half a minute to identify this set of porcelain.

So after waiting for about ten minutes, it was Liu Dong's turn, and after Ma Lao finished reading it with a disappointed face, Liu Dong stepped forward to look at the cups in the tray. Some memories and appreciation skills about the Twelve Flower God Cups slowly emerged in my mind like a clear stream.

The twelve flower gods are often used for floral decoration of complete sets of porcelain cups, which were popular in the Kangxi period. Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Small Cup is a set of twelve porcelain cups, each cup is painted according to a certain month of the twelve months of the year, a seasonal flower, referring to the famous women in history, and inscribed with corresponding verses.

The twelve flower gods are: Princess Shenshou of the plum blossom in the first month, Yang Yuhuan, the god of apricot flowers in February, Mrs. Peach Blossom Shenxi in March, Lijuan the god of peony flowers in April, Weishi of pomegranate flowers in May, Xi Shi of lotus flowers in June, Mrs. Li of sunflower god in July, Xu Xianfei (name Xu Hui) of osmanthus in August, Zuo Guifei of chrysanthemum god in September, Mrs. Lady of Hibiscus flower god in October, Wang Zhaojun of camellia god in November, and Daffodil god Luo Shen in December.

The December Flower God Cup is themed on narcissus, magnolia, peach blossom, peony, pomegranate, lotus, orchid, osmanthus, chrysanthemum, hibiscus, moon season and plum blossom.

Regarding the reality of this set of flower god cups, Liu Dong had already used the relics Yuanguang to come up with the appreciation results just now. This set of cups is as Ma Lao said before, it is Xianfeng's imitation of Kangxi's Twelve Flower God Cup, but there are two exceptions.

The March Peach Blossom Cup and the November Moon Cup are not imitations, but the real Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup. Just because the time is limited, after most people saw the Xianfeng imitation of the flower god cup, they preconceived that this whole set of cups is an imitation of the Xianfeng period.

This kind of misunderstanding of thinking, if it weren't for Liu Dong and the relics of Yuanguang, I'm afraid Liu Dong would also fall into it.

After returning to his seat, Liu Dong made up his mind to take down this set of cups.

"Although it is not the real Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup, but it is also the official kiln of the Xianfeng period, the level of firing is still very high, it should be good to collect, if you want it, just shoot it!"

"What, Ma Lao, don't you plan to bid?"

"Hehe, I'll forget it, I already have a set of imitations from the Daoguang period there, and it's not interesting to ask for this again!" After finishing speaking, the old man handed over a mask, "Take it with you, the lots here are not very clean, be careful, save some trouble!"

After listening to Ma Lao's solemn words, Liu Dong nodded, took the mask, and put it on himself. The style of the mask is similar to that of the auctioneer, and it also covers most of the face from the mouth upwards. It does not hinder normal speech, but also is able to disguise identity.
