Chapter 1044: Porcelain Tiles on the Stall
PS: Today's birthday, I went chic, just one chapter, please forgive me.
"Perhaps, go to Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple to have a look?"
At this time, Yu Feibai muttered: "I heard that it is very lively there, so it's good to bump into it." ”
"Okay."
Wang nodded and said, "Anyway, there is no clear destination, let's take one step at a time." If you really can't do it, you will go through the places of interest and historic sites in Kaifeng City, and then go home. ”
"I'll see it." Yu Feibai immediately agreed: "When the time comes, I will find a few treasures and go back, which can be regarded as an explanation." ”
"Good ......"
After making a decision, the two quickly settled breakfast, and after settling the bill, they took the car to Daxiangguo Temple.
If you have seen the Water Margin, you will definitely be no stranger to this place. Because the story of Lu Zhishen uprooting the weeping willows described happened in the Daxiangguo Temple.
Of course, the Water Margin is just a novel after all, and Lu Zhishen's story is just a novelist's words, and it must not be taken seriously. However, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Daxiangguo Temple was indeed the most prosperous and lively place in Kaifeng.
Of course, the current Daxiangguo Temple is not bad, not only with its ancient and modern fame of Chinese and foreign tourists yearning, but also become Kaifeng Lantern Festival lantern viewing, Chongyang chrysanthemum appreciation, bonsai viewing, flowers, birds and fish expo and one of the various cultural and entertainment centers, attracting thousands of pilgrims every day.
For example, it can be called the off-season for tourism, but in the temple of Daxiangguo, there are many pious pilgrims who worship. It's bustling, but it's quite lively.
Speaking of which, the landscape of Daxiangguo Temple is still quite good, the buildings in the temple are towering, carved beams and painted buildings, full of simple atmosphere. However, it is a pity that these ancient buildings are not the buildings of the Northern Song Dynasty.
You must know that during the Northern Song Dynasty, Daxiangguo Temple was the largest Buddhist temple in the country, covering an area of more than 500 acres. Under the jurisdiction of 64 Zen law institutes, each institute has a presiding officer, and given the title, more than 10,000 monks. During national events, such as the emperor's birthday prayers, family visits and Jinshi inscriptions are held here, so Xiangguoji Temple is called a royal temple.
Such a glorious history is estimated to be the lifelong longing and dream of the monks of the modern Daxiangguo Temple. However, the years were merciless, and after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Great Xiangguo Temple was severely damaged. And not only due to the sword fire. Due to the flooding of the Yellow River, the entire Kaifeng City was flooded, and the buildings were completely destroyed, and the Great Xiangguo Temple was naturally difficult to survive.
The existing Daxiangguo Temple building, but the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty allocated funds to build on the original site, although there is also a bit of grandeur, but compared with the golden brilliance of the year, the clouds are disfigured, there is a great difference in nature. Not the same thing.
Of course, what the past and present life of Daxiangguo Temple looked like naturally had nothing to do with Wang Guan and Yu Feibai, the two were just a little bored wandering around the temple. Walked around and down. The handful of incense in his hand was scattered. However, there was nothing to be gained. You must know that they are not just here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, but also have other purposes.
After nothing was discovered in the Great Xiangguo Temple, the two naturally walked out. Then wander around the streets of the neighborhood.
"Look."
After walking for a while, a smile appeared on Yu Feibai's face: "I knew that it was next to the famous scenic spot." These stalls are indispensable. ”
"If you know it's a stall, then you shouldn't have any hope." Wang Guan kindly reminded that this is also true. It's not that there are no good things in the stalls, in fact, many people pick up the leaks on the stalls. However, it is also important to admit that the chances of picking up a leak in a stall are very slim, and one person in 10,000 people is considered good.
"Don't hit people." Yu Feibai said dissatisfied: "Besides, how can you know the result before you read it?" ”
While speaking, Yu Feibai stepped forward quickly and came to the side of the street, only to see a row of small stalls here. There are those who sell calendar books, and there are those who sell Buddhist beads and bracelet peace charms, and there are many kinds of them. Naturally, there are also some true and false antiques, real and fake, fake and true, as for whether it is true or false, it depends on personal eyesight.
At this time, Yu Feibai squatted in front of a stall, and did not pay attention to the stall owner's greeting, but was picking and choosing, but in the end he didn't catch his eye.
"Boss, is there anything else better?" Yu Feibai asked simply, and casually put down a resin synthetic bracelet. This kind of thing, as soon as you get started, you know that the weight is wrong, not to mention the texture, there is no feeling of warmth at all, it's okay to deceive laymen, and if you want to be a jade master like him, there is still a difference of 108,000 miles.
Of course, the title of Master Jianyu is Yu Feibai's self-proclaimed title, and it is none of his business if others admit it or not.
"There is ......"
When the stall owner heard this, he nodded hurriedly. The stall is set up, which one doesn't press the things at the bottom of the box. And seeing Yu Feibai dressed brightly, he knew at a glance that he was not a bad man, and the stall owner naturally did not doubt his financial ability, and immediately took out a few things from the box next to him.
"Looks good."
At the right time, Yu Feibai looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but approve. It is worthy of the thing at the bottom of the box, which is indeed not ordinary. It's not a treasure, but the quality is really good.
Especially a jade ornament, an ornament of a monkey sitting on a horse. Although the jade material is not very good, the carver is relatively old, and the tendons of the horses and the little monkey's ears and cheeks are portrayed quite expressively.
Of course, the meaning of the jade ornament is also very auspicious, there are monkeys and horses, which means that the marquis will be sealed immediately, which is a good omen for people in the system.
Although Yu Feibai is not a person who mixes officialdom, he also has a little love for this jade ornament. Maybe for him, as long as it is a good jade material and the carving process is not bad, it is a good thing and worth collecting.
At this time, the stall owner also saw Yu Feibai's intentions, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity, and hurriedly sold them endlessly, praising the jade ornaments as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the ground.
At the same time, Wang Guan also strolled over, but ignored Yu Feibai's bargaining with the stall owner, and even walked a few more steps to a nearby stall.
is different from Yu Feibai's stall, but the things on display in this stall are much purer. Wang Guan looked down and saw that the stall was full of porcelain pieces, broken and scattered, and there was no law to speak of.
Looking at these broken porcelain pieces, Wang Guan also had some feelings in his eyes. Speaking of which, the first time he made a move, he bought broken porcelain pieces, and then unconsciously, slowly grew to the point where he is now.
"Little brother, come and take a look."
At this time, the stall owner of the broken porcelain tiles also greeted warmly: "Don't look at the broken things, but they are still valuable." Do you know the famous collector in Beijing? They started with broken porcelain pieces and built a big museum......"
Hearing this, Wang Guan smiled, and then squatted down and looked at these broken porcelain pieces at will.
At first glance, Wang Guan couldn't help frowning slightly. The broken porcelain pieces are very broken, this is a normal situation, and Wang Guan doesn't care about it, but now these porcelain pieces are not only broken, but also very dirty, which makes him a little suspicious.
Whenever he saw such a situation, Wang Guan knew that there must be something wrong with something. You must know that even if most of the broken porcelain pieces are unearthed things, they are naturally dirty, but when they are taken out to set up a stall, they must have been cleaned.
After all, in the porcelain capital, in the place where antiques gather, there are many broken porcelain pieces for sale, but those broken porcelain pieces are very clean, and even exude a bright luster, giving people a pleasing feeling.
However, now these porcelain tiles are very old and have some dirt, which really makes people want to look at them directly. If you change to someone who suffers from cleanliness here, you will definitely have to retreat.
Of course, Wang Guan also understands why these broken porcelain pieces are so dirty, and this is also some small tricks in the ancient industry that cannot be put on the table. After all, in the minds of the world, real antiques must be very old, but ordinary stall owners do not know how to make old things, so they have to deliberately stolen things.
This kind of little trick is okay for a layman, but in the eyes of a real connoisseur, it is simply not worth mentioning. On the contrary, it will also make connoisseurs disgusted, and preconceived notions that something is wrong. After all, only bad things need to be covered up by dust.
Now Wang Guan has such a feeling, he picked up a broken porcelain piece casually, wiped it with his fingers slightly, and the dirt and dust on the surface of the porcelain piece were easily wiped off. Seeing this situation, Wang Guan is even more sure that things are really not good.
"What are you looking at?"
At this time, Yu Feibai also came over, but there was an extra jade ornament in his hand that was immediately sealed, and after obviously bargaining with the stall owner, he finally bought the thing.
"Porcelain tiles."
At this time, Wang Guan said casually: "Broken porcelain, not very good broken porcelain." ”
It's not good, that's a more euphemistic statement, in fact, it doesn't say that things are bad, and it can be regarded as Wang Guan Xiu's morality.
"Hmm."
Yu Feibai glanced at it, but said more approvingly: "It's really not good." ”
"Two little brothers, don't talk nonsense, these are good things. It was I who traveled thousands of miles to the porcelain capital to carefully select and come back. The stall owner certainly retorted: "It's definitely a high-quality object worth collecting." ”
However, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were unmoved, both of them were old fritters, how could they change their views because the stall owner only said a few words. And the stall owner also understood this truth, and directly took out the things at the bottom of the box.
This stall owner is not sluggish, and when he was doing business, he was even more observant and listener, and he had already noticed that Yu Feibai paid money to buy jade ornaments. Now seeing him coming, how can he turn a blind eye, of course, he also wants to seize this opportunity and make a business.
To tell the truth, after noticing that the broken porcelain pieces on the stall were not very good, Wang Guan lost interest and was about to get up and leave, but when he saw the stall owner take out the things at the bottom of the box, he was also a little more curious, and naturally looked around.
"Huh!"
After a glance, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little surprised.
Although I knew that it would be good for the stall owner to solemnly put things in the box, I didn't expect that not only did it look good, but it also had a bit of a crystal luster...... (To be continued......)
