Chapter 345 Ming Dynasty Silk Treasures

………… After listening to Liu Dong's conditions, Ma Chao just thought about it briefly, and then nodded and agreed. Although selling the ancestral inheritance made Ma Chao feel uncomfortable, he himself knew that he was not a businessman, and he didn't know anything about running an antique shop.

Even if this shop is in his hands, it will be destroyed sooner or later.

In addition, if he sells the shop to Liu Dong, he can still make some money, but if he gives the shop to the Sihai Gang, then he doesn't want a penny. Even have to lose a lot.

So for this multiple-choice question, Ma Chao just made a decision after a brief consideration.

"Okay, big brother, as long as you can get the property right certificate here out of the Four Seas Gang, then I will sell it to you!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded, "It's better to remember what you say now!" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Dong put Huang Tingjian's "Pillar Inscription" and the Yuan Dynasty gold multicolored pile of colorful dragon and phoenix plum bottles worth 10,000 gold into a backpack, and then carried it behind his back, and then held the camphor wood box that had not been opened and carefully examined with both hands, and asked Mu Gang to hold the four screens of Wang Yeting, one of the "Eight Friends of Zhushan", and walked downstairs.

"Oh, yes! The people from the Four Seas Gang are still waiting outside your shop, and if you don't want to be caught by them, you'd better come with us! After pausing at the top of the stairs, Liu Dong turned around and walked downstairs with Mu Gang.

Hearing this, Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "Big brother, wait for me, wait for me!" Next, he didn't bother to put the money back in the safe, and just packed it in an opaque tote bag. went downstairs to chase Liu Dong.

With so much to gain. And it's all so precious. Liu Dong did not continue to wander around the antique market.

When driving back to the hotel in the middle, Ma Chao deposited the money in the bank, and then the three of them returned to the presidential suite where Liu Dong stayed.

"Wow!!"

The luxurious crystal lamps, gorgeous carpets, and elegantly crafted sofas in the presidential suite all made Ma Chao, who came here for the first time, couldn't help but praise again and again.

Looking at his appearance, Liu Dong shook his head. To be honest, the European decoration style is not what he likes, in contrast, the calm, restrained, modest, and historical and cultural decoration style of Chinese home furnishings is Liu Dong's favorite. And the interior of the No. 1 villa in Wohu Mountain that he bought is being renovated in this style, but because it is too big, just an interior decoration will take half a year, so up to now, although Liu Dong has bought a villa, he still lives with Wang Qiang in the original one-bedroom and two-hall apartment. In a building of less than 100 square meters.

"There is a TV in the living room that you can turn on and watch! Wait until six or seven o'clock. I'll take you to dinner, and in the evening, you take me to the casinos of the Four Seas Gang and ask for your real estate deed! After finishing speaking, Liu Dong didn't care about Ma Chao's reaction, so he returned to the room with the precious porcelain, calligraphy and paintings he bought.

And after Mu Gang put down the four porcelain plate paintings in his arms, he said a word to Liu Dong and went out. Of course, Mu Gang and Ma Chao didn't have any interest in communicating, so they quickly returned to their rooms after going out.

After turning around and closing the door, Liu Dong received several other things into the mustard seed space, leaving only the camphor wood box on the bed. Because there were many people at that time, and the things inside were extremely precious, and the length was quite large, Liu Dong kept coming back here before he was ready to take it out.

Silk is also known as "carved silk", which is the essence of traditional silk artwork of the Han nationality.

As the most traditional kind of warp and weft in the silk weaving industry of the Han nationality in China, silk is highly appreciated for decorative silk fabrics. Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, it has been one of the royal fabrics, and is commonly used to weave imperial and queen clothing, Yuzhen (imperial statues) and imitation of celebrity calligraphy and painting. Because the weaving process is extremely meticulous, the imitation is often better than the original, and the surviving fine products are extremely rare, which is the highlight of today's weaving and embroidery collection and auction. It often has the reputation of "an inch of silk and an inch of gold" and "the saint of weaving".

Moreover, compared to other works of art, there are very few mediocre products of silk. Because it's so hard to imitate. To counterfeit silk works, the cost and difficulty are much greater than any handicraft. A scarf-sized piece alone contains thousands of progressive colors that would take a skilled technician months to complete. The gold content of technology, complex technological processes, extremely high process environment and the lack of successors to such unique skills make the value of silk soaring.

And the silk materials are also very particular, a high-quality court silk works, has been able to use pure gold thread, pure silver thread, peacock feathers and other precious materials for intersecting weaving, and then with part of the hand embroidery, the whole work is graceful and luxurious, ingenious.

This qiē has caused the high value of the silk works, especially the fine silk of the royal family of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is worth thousands of gold, and the final auction price is more than 10 million.

And at this moment, the piece in Liu Dong's hand is an authentic silk boutique.

However, his piece is not a common royal dragon and phoenix ornament, as well as a copy of ancient famous calligraphy and painting, but a genuine Taoist handiwork.

After unfolding, the silk work in Liu Dong's hand is 20 meters long and 56 centimeters wide, and is made of precious materials such as pure gold thread, pure silver thread and peacock feathers, which are intersected into three portraits and three famous Taoist classics.

They are Taiqing Laozi riding a bull statue, the first Tianzun of the Yuan Dynasty sits on the jade unicorn, Lingbao Tianzun rides on the Kui Niu, and these three Qing Taoist ancestors are woven behind three scriptures, respectively, "Taishang Qingjing Sutra", "The Emperor's Secret Beginning and End of the Yuan Ao", "Lingbao Secret Jade Emperor Heart Seal Sutra".

For these three classics Liu Dong has occasionally seen in books before, they are all the founder of the Laoshan faction Sun Xuanqing compiled, the history of the drama, Sun Xuanqing in the 37th year of Jiajing (1558) should be edicted to the Beijing Division, the merit is completed, go to Baiyun Temple to sit in the bowl hall for a year, note "Lingbao Secret Jade Emperor Heart Seal Sutra", "Taishang Qingjing Sutra", "Emperor Jing Beginning and End Yuan Ao", etc., and make eight books and six volumes of the Sect of the Liberation Gate, by the pavilion Lao Zhai Luan and Shaoqing Gong Zhongpei as the main into the imperial review, enshrined as "the protector of the country of the heavenly master Mansion Zuozanjiao", in charge of the affairs of the real people.

And behind this huge silk work, there is also an account of this incident, as well as the jade seal stamped by Emperor Jiajing! Naturally, there is no doubt that it is genuine, and Laoshan is in the island city, and it is likely that this silk work was handed down from the Laoshan school.

Of course, Liu Dong didn't care what the specific reason was, what he cared about was that he finally received another priceless treasure.

In addition, this precious Ming Dynasty silk boutique, and the Yuan Dynasty gold multicolored dragon and phoenix pattern plum vase, Huang Tingjian's "Pillar Inscription" authentic work, Wang Yeting landscape four screens, as well as the famous German painter Holbert factor 7 paintings, Menzel 11 sketches, Kirchner 19 pieces. Liu Dong was deeply satisfied with this trip to Changhua Road Antique Street.

Afterwards, he took out these things one by one and admired them, and it was not until Mu Gang knocked on the door to remind him to eat that Liu Dong was reluctant to receive all these antiques into the mustard seed space.

After dinner in the evening, Liu Dong took Ma out of the hotel, as for Mu Gang, his figure was too eye-catching. And this time there was something special, Liu Dong didn't take him.

"Is this it?" Liu Dong parked the car on the side of the road, and then pointed to the bars not far away, where men and women were hugging and laughing at each other.

"Yes, big brother, this is the biggest casino of the Four Seas Gang in Island City, but I don't know if it's their lair!"

After listening to Ma Chao's words, Liu Dong nodded.

"Big brother, are you sure the two of us will go in?" Ma Chao asked again. He didn't understand why Liu Dong didn't bring that big man with him, if he had that kind of combat power, even if he was in and out of the headquarters of the Four Seas Gang, he would always have a sense of security, unlike now, Ma Chao always had a feeling of being in the mouth of a tiger.

Looking at his hesitant appearance, Liu Dong smiled faintly, "Don't worry, if you don't have confidence, I won't bring you to this kind of place alone." ”

Hearing his words, Ma Chao thought about it, Liu Dong is so rich, he will definitely not joke with his own life. Naturally, I have full confidence to come here and retreat, thinking of this, Ma Chao's heart is a little relieved.

After watching Liu Dong get out of the car, he also walked down.

"Ma Chao, you bastard, you dare to come!" Obviously, Ma Chao is a frequent visitor here, so as soon as he saw him coming, a big man with a big waist who was originally standing outside watching the door came over, looking at his fierce appearance, it was obvious that he wanted to teach Ma Chao a lesson first.

As if he had expected this result a long time ago, as soon as this person came up, Ma Chao quickly hid behind Liu Dong.

And Liu Dong did not live up to his trust, the moment this person stretched out his hand, he grabbed this person's wrist like electricity, and then used a slight force, and the strong man who was invincible in Ma Chao's eyesight screamed with pain on his face.

"Let go, boy, you don't want to fucking live......!" Dahan scolded bitterly while tugging his arm hard, but Liu Dong's five fingers were like five welded steel, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't twitch half a minute.

Seeing that his hand couldn't twitch, the strong man endured the pain, raised his foot and kicked heavily under Liu Dong's crotch.

Seeing this, Liu Dong couldn't help frowning, the man's crotch is the key point, even if he has kung fu, if he is kicked, he will be uncomfortable for a long time, so Liu Dong, who has some hatred in his heart for not knowing the severity of this person's hand, did not be polite, raised his right foot, came first, and kicked on the chest of the strong man.

Then, Ma Chao, who was standing behind Liu Dong, only heard a sound, and after a 'bang' like a defeated revolution, the strong man who was originally invincible in his eyes had already flown out like a broken sack.

It took four or five meters before it fell, and then after rolling more than a dozen times, it didn't move at all. (To be continued......)
