Chapter 11 Ming Chenghua Tianzi Jar and Yellow Diamonds

When Meng Songhai saw the smile on the stall owner's face, a look of disdain flashed on his face.

Put the money back in his pocket, Meng Songhai squatted down, carefully picked up the lid and looked at it carefully for a while, the bottom of the jar is written with the blue and white "day" word, and this small bucket color cover is therefore named the Tianzi jar.

The Tianzi jar is straight-mouthed, short-necked, round-shouldered, bulging belly, the lower part is introverted, the inner digging circle foot, and the lid is attached. The cover is slightly convex with a flat top, straight wall, and covered in the mouth of the can. The belly pattern of the jar is decorated with seahorse patterns and entwined lotus patterns.

Because of its preciousness, Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jar has been imitated from the late Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, especially the imitations of the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties of the Qing Dynasty are the most realistic. The Kangxi Dynasty imitation porcelain carcass is thick and heavy, and the Yongzheng and Qianlong Dynasty tires are thin and fine, and obvious whirlwinds can be seen under the glaze. On the whole, most of the imitation patterns appear to be more than fine and not smooth, and there are certain differences between the color of various colors and the writing characteristics of the style and the genuine product.

Before using the "Wisdom Treasure Recognition", Meng Songhai looked at it carefully and felt that this Tianzi jar was not only like the original product of Ming Chenghua, but also like the imitation of the Qing Dynasty.

"It's better to use the discerning eye, no, I don't know if it's true or not."

After using the supernatural powers, Meng Songhai determined that this Tianzi jar was an official kiln porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, and although he was very excited, the expression on his face did not change at all.

Raising his head, Meng Songhai looked at the stall owner with a smile and said with a smile: "This big brother, I can't tell if this Tianzi jar is from the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, but I like it a lot...... Six hundred yuan, a little more expensive, can it be cheaper? ”

"How much cheaper do you want?"

"It's two hundred, I'll pay four."

"Four hundred, that's too little." The stall owner glanced at Meng Songhai lightly, "I think your kid is quite pleasing to the eye, if you want it, five hundred and five, the lowest price." ”

"Five hundred and five, it's still a little too expensive, let's be fifty cheaper."

"Nope."

"It's too expensive."

Meng Songhai directly put down the Tianzi jar in his hand, he didn't directly say no, but he used his actions to tell the stall owner that if five hundred could not be sold, he would give up, in fact, he didn't think so in his heart, if the stall owner didn't reduce the price, he would also pay five hundred and fifty yuan to buy it.

The stall owner was an anxious man, and when he saw that Meng Songhai was about to give up, and five hundred yuan was higher than the bottom price in his heart, he didn't wait for Meng Songhai to stand up, so he said directly: "Five hundred is five hundred!" ”

Meng Songhai was secretly happy, but the expression on his face was still very flat, he was afraid that his face would show a smug expression after picking up the leak, and the stall owner would break the contract.

Picking up the Tianzi jar, Meng Songhai paid 500 yuan to the stall owner.

"Five hundred dollars, yes, we made a deal."

"Money is right." The stall owner smiled, "I'm pretty good at these things, you can take a look at them." ”

Meng Songhai glanced a few times, saw a golden ring inlaid with square gemstones, reached out to pick it up, looked at it a few times, although there was no detection tool in his hand, but with his judgment of the tenth rebirth of gemstones, he guessed that the gems set in this ring were very likely to be colored diamonds, dark yellow in color, and no flaws and impurities could be seen with the naked eye.

"It's a gold ring, isn't it?"

"Yes. Sell for two hundred dollars. ”

"Two hundred? It's also too expensive. Meng Songhai shook his head and said, "This ring is only a few grams?!" “

"Isn't there a beautiful gem on it!"

"This yellow gemstone is not worth much." Meng Songhai said.

"How much can you give?"

"A hundred."

"No, a hundred is too low." The stall owner shook his head.

Meng Songhai hesitated for a moment, and the stall owner said again: "One hundred and sixteen, the minimum is one hundred and sixty yuan." ”

"Okay, one hundred and six is one hundred and sixteen."

When paying, Meng Songhai secretly said in his heart: "God bless, if it is really a colored diamond, I will really be developed." ”

Meng Songhai felt that the weight of this gemstone was at least three carats, and the three-carat colored diamond, even in the eighties, was worth a lot, and he knew that compared with Hetian jade, jadeite and other jewelry jade, in the next twenty years, the price increase of diamonds in the world was not very large.

After completing the second transaction, Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Let's go, see you later!" ”

Meng Songhai, who was a little excited, didn't have the heart to continue shopping, and went directly to Aunt Sun's restaurant.

After walking a few steps, Meng Songhai moved the idea of testing whether the gemstone set in the ring was a diamond, and first put the gem on his face, he knew that a real diamond does not transfer heat, no matter how he touched it, it should be cold.

After a while, Meng Songhai determined that the gem did not transfer heat, but he knew that the red sapphire did not transfer heat either, and that there was also a yellow color in the sapphire.

"If this gem is a sapphire, it is not worth anything at all. If it's a diamond, then I'm really going to send it...... If you can't identify it today, you can determine tomorrow if it's a real colored diamond...... When writing the receipt and receiving the deposit, I should ask Liu Weidong for a contact phone number...... There's no hurry, I'll be able to see him tomorrow anyway, and when there are results tomorrow, it's better to meet and talk later......"

When he was about to reach the door of the restaurant, Meng Songhai put the ring in his pocket.

After entering the house, Meng Songhai saw Aunt Sun stir-frying, and said with a smile: "Aunt Sun, I'll get the sauce beef." ”

"Songhai, you're here, let's buy five yuan first." Aunt Sun suggested, "Ten yuan, it's too much, you can't finish one or two meals, the weather is so hot, if you can't eat it today, it will be bad tomorrow, it's better to buy less." I like to eat it, and I can buy it again in the future. ”

"Okay." Meng Songhai was as kind as a streamer, "Aunt Sun, tomorrow I will have lunch at your place, and you can help me get a bigger crucian carp." ”

"Okay. Would you like to eat crucian carp? ”

"yes, I like to eat crucian carp."

After chatting a few words, Aunt Sun took a clean lunch box, filled it with some sliced sauce beef, and poured some soup into the lunch box.

"Take it, I'll find you five dollars!"

Saying goodbye to Aunt Sun, Meng Songhai went home directly.

After Meng Songhai returned home, he put the lunch box containing the sauce beef on the dining table, and held the Tianzi jar in front of his father.

"Dad, I bought a Ming Chenghua Tianzi jar!"

Meng Dongyao didn't know what a Tianzi jar was, but he knew that there was a Chenghua emperor in the Ming Dynasty, who was a confused emperor, and when he saw his young son holding a small jar with colorful flowers in his hand, he asked curiously: "What is the use of such a small jar?" ”

"It's mainly for fun."

"I'm a little confused, this kind of little jar, flowery, what's so beautiful and what's fun." Meng Dongyao smiled and shook his head, "There's a dragon drawn on it, right?" Hehe, I look like a loach! ”

"Don't look at the dragon on the jar if it's not good-looking, there's a reason for it. The ancients divided dragons into four types, and those with scales were called dragons; Those with wings are called Ying Long; The horned one is called the dragon; The hornless one is called a cocktail...... The dragon painted on this jar has no horns, so it is a dragon. The dragon means beauty and auspiciousness, and also symbolizes the love between men and women. ”

"You know a lot." Meng Dongyao smiled slightly, "How much did it cost to buy it?" ”

"Five hundred and fifty dollars."

"What?" Meng Dongyao's eyes widened, "You spend five hundred and fifty yuan to buy this broken can?" ”

"Dad, don't underestimate it, a national treasure-level antique."

Meng Songhai smiled and continued: "Gu Jingzhou's purple clay pot, Hetian Jade Maitreya Buddha ornaments, I am willing to sell, this thing, even if someone bids 100,000 yuan, I am reluctant to sell it, I sell it now, I want to buy another one in the future, I may not be able to realize this wish in this life." ”

"This thing is scarce?"

"It's rare." Meng Songhai smiled, "I didn't say it, this is a national treasure-level antique." ”

"That'...... Will you donate it to the state? ”

"Nope." Meng Songhai shook his head and smiled, "I hope that I can create a museum in the future and display my own collection of treasures to the people." ”

"Open your own museum?" Meng Dongyao smiled, "You really dare to think about it." I see that you spend so much money, and you will sell that Maitreya Buddha tomorrow, and in a few days, you will spend all 3,000 yuan. ”

"It's a good thing that the money was spent early, because it shows that I have bought a lot of good treasures. Dad, you really can't underestimate this Tianzi jar, I estimate that it will be sold to the Palace Museum now, let alone 10,000 yuan, if it is sold to foreign antique dealers, it may be sold for several million. ”

"You're bragging, aren't you?" Meng Dongyao was surprised.

"You just brag to me, just treat this thing as worthless, I spent unjustly money." Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Dad, don't tell anyone about me buying this Tianzi jar, and don't ...... Hey, I shouldn't have told you this thing was worth a lot of money. ”

"I don't think I heard you say that." Meng Songyao glanced at the young son with a smile, and then asked, "I went out just now and bought this thing?" ”

Meng Songhai already regretted telling his father about the Son of Heaven Jar, and when he heard his father ask this, he fell into deep thought.
