Chapter 410: A Famous Teacher Produces a High Apprentice

ps: There are only two chapters today, and there is one point that is not cleared up, and it is stuck.\\ You need to think about it, forgive me. In addition, today's monthly pass is so small, I hope friends who have tickets will give a few more, thank you.

"Don't let Zhou Lao wait for a long time, hurry up and ......"

At this time, Pi Qiushi greeted him, lifted his collar, and combed his hair with his hands, as if he wanted to meet his idol.

"Wait." Wang Guan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a frown: "What about my big stove?" ”

"Call a moving company." Pi Qiushi is experienced, and waved his hand: "As long as you give enough money, don't say anything about the stove, it is a house, they can help you dismantle it, and then neatly transport it to your designated place." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Guan nodded, and immediately asked Pi Qiushi to call, and waited until the people from the moving company came, and then moved the big stove and the two-wheeled bucket truck to the truck, and then he set off with peace of mind.

At this time, Pi Qiu was driving, and he was very confused: "Brother, I forgot to ask just now, what is the origin of your stove." It must be a rare thing for you to pay such attention to it. ”

"Hehe, almost." Wang Guan said with a smile, in fact, he didn't know the origin of the thing, so he knew that it was just a treasure, and what it was still needed to be studied.

"Well, taking the time to open my eyes too." Pi Qiushi smiled, and didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, in the antique industry, there is also a law that everyone is familiar with. But all large things are either high-quality products or shoddy things, showing a trend of polarization.

The reason for this is nothing more than the fact that large objects, especially bronze and porcelain, are larger and more demanding for craftsmanship. As the saying goes, don't do porcelain work without diamonds. It's like a big tank, the same tank, but the dragon tank used by the emperor and the water tank used by the people. The quality is certainly worlds apart, and there is simply no way to compare them.

Bronze ware is similar, and the smaller ones are easier to cast finely. If the volume is large and there is not enough technology, it is naturally difficult to grasp, and the quality of the thing can be imagined. Of course, the reverse is also true, as long as the craftsmanship is good. Large-scale things are often made into fine products, which are often rare boutiques.

It's just that before he saw anything, Pi Qiushi didn't think much about it, he was just anxious to see Zhou Lao, so he drove the car fast and came to the capital soon after. Subsequently, under the guidance of Wang Guan, Pi Qiushi beat around the bush and spent dozens of minutes. It was only in front of Mr. Zhou that he slowly stopped the car.

At the right time, Wang Guan got out of the car and rang the doorbell. After a while, a babysitter came out and opened the door.

"Brother Pi, come in."

Wang Guan greeted him, and led Pi Qiushi to the front of Zhou Lao's courtyard hall.

"I'm back, come in quickly."

Zhou Lao obviously went home early to wait, and when he heard the movement, he greeted him in the hall.

Then, Wang Guan smiled and introduced: "Old Zhou, introduce you to someone." This is my friend in Jinmen, the proprietor of Huabaotang, Pi Qiushi......"

"Hello Old Zhou. Rush to visit. Excuse me. Pi Qiushi hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

"No formality, the visitor is a guest, welcome!" Zhou Lao smiled kindly and led the two into the living room.

As soon as he sat down, Zhou Lao couldn't wait to say, "Wang Guan, what are you talking about?" ”

"It's ...... here," Wang Guan handed over a large bag. Originally, he thought that it would be enough to bring a brocade box, but Pi Qiushi was worried that it was not enough insurance, so he simply stuffed it into a leather bag with soft hair, which was more shockproof.

Zhou Lao opened the leather bag and asked, "Where did you find the thing?" ”

"In an antique shop on Jinmen Ancient Culture Street." Wang Guan said with a smile: "At that time, the surface of this bottle was full of old traces, which made people think it was a fake, and no one cared about it in the corner. I saw it, thought it was a little weird, and bought it. I didn't expect that after wiping off the old dirt, I found that the bottle turned out to be very similar to the butterfly play cat pastel porcelain bottle you said. ”

"Qianlong official kiln pastel." Pi Qiu added on the side, sighing: "I was watching from the side, and I concluded that things were not good, but when the final result came out, I was almost so surprised that I dropped my eyeballs on the ground." ”

"Old?"

Zhou Lao was also stunned, and then opened the brocade box and immediately saw the bottle.

At first glance, the bottle of Qianlong's imperial inscription poem came into view, which also made Zhou Lao's expression more and more excited, and then carefully took out the bottle and put it on the desk to watch carefully.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhou Lao categorically affirmed: "That's right, that's it, it can't be wrong." ”

"After being missing for half a century, I finally saw the light of day." At this moment, Zhou Lao seemed to have a lot of feelings, his fingers gently brushed the bottle, and he was a little inexplicable.

"Brother, what's going on?" At this time, Pi Qiu was a little puzzled, and said softly: "Could it be that there are any allusions to this pastel porcelain vase?" ”

"There is indeed a head." Wang Guan chuckled and said: "Zhou Lao mentioned to me a few days ago that during the Republic of China, that is, in the thirties of the last century, there was an antique stall selling jade in the Liuli Factory, but it used a Qianlong official kiln pastel porcelain bottle as a signboard, which caused a sensation. However, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, this jade stall disappeared along with the porcelain vase. ”

"That was in 1935."

At the same time, Zhou Lao said slowly: "There was an antique stall on the east side of the second gate of the Liulichang Fire Temple, and the stall owner put out a Qianlong official kiln pastel porcelain vase, the pattern of butterflies playing with cats, plus the Qianlong imperial inscription poems, and the seal style, which attracted many people to ask for the price. However, the stall owners do not sell the bottles, using them as a sign to attract business. ”

"However, in '42, the stall closed down and the bottle disappeared. Later, everyone learned that it was the stall owner who bought the eye-catching goods, lost money, and bet the large bottle in the bank and did not redeem it. ”

Zhou Lao continued: "Later, the bank sold the bottle to an antique dealer, but the antique dealer lost money in business and sold the bottle to a banker. It is not clear who the banker is. However, in the fifties, the bottle was ready to be exported to Paris, France, but was intercepted by customs. After that, the whereabouts of the bottle became a mystery. ”

"After many years, everyone thought that the bottle had been destroyed in the ten years of catastrophe, but they didn't expect it to see the light of day again."

Speaking of this, Zhou Lao sighed with emotion: "Wang Guan, your luck is really ...... It's hard not to be jealous. ”

"Old Zhou, what happened back then should be a relatively private insider, how do you know?" Wang Guan asked curiously, actually changing the topic.

"I have an old friend, and his uncle is the antique dealer who bought and sold the bottles." Zhou Lao explained, and then smiled: "He must be interested in this thing, do you want me to match you and be an intermediary." But before that, you'll want to lend me the bottle for a while. ”

"Don't look at the cat butterfly ornament is just a thin layer of paint, in fact, I don't know how many processes it has gone through to render to form such a delicate and gorgeous pattern."

Zhou Lao said with great interest: "In addition, the thing is Qianlong's 80th birthday, and it is also a congratulatory gift for his 55th reign. It is also the late Qianlong period, and everyone should know that the late Qianlong period belongs to the period when the Qing Dynasty went from prosperity to decline. Among them, not only the national power declined, but even the firing process of porcelain began to decline. ”

"Of course, this process is certainly not very obvious, so I plan to study this bottle and see if I can find some subtle changes." Zhou Lao smiled and said: "Even if you can't study anything, the process of research, reenacting the skills of the ancients back then, is a kind of enjoyment in itself." ”

"Okay, the things will be left here for you, and when you've studied enough, just call me over to get them." Wang nodded and said, not taking the bottle very seriously.

"It won't take long, just a few days."

Zhou Lao asked casually: "By the way, what about Feibai and Tsinghua, why don't you see them?" ”

"They ran away......"

As he spoke, Wang Guan felt that something was wrong, and his thoughts turned around, and he didn't mention the black market auction, but just smiled: "When I was in Jinmen, Feibai met a female police officer named Xu Qing. I don't know why, he was like a tiger, and he ran away with Tsinghua in the wilderness, but he left me behind. ”

"Xu Qing!" Zhou Lao groaned, and suddenly smiled: "I remember, I heard of that ......"

"Old Zhou, I don't know about this yet, can you tell me about it?" Wang Guan hurriedly asked, his eyes revealing a raging fire of gossip.

"We old people can't figure out the affairs of young people, so let them go."

Zhou Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "You want to know, go and ask Feibai yourself." However, I can tell you a little bit more about the old anecdotes in the antique shop, and maybe you will find something and pick up a few missing treasures. ”

"Old Zhou, this kind of thing depends on chance, where is it so easy." Wang Guan couldn't laugh or cry.

"You've always had a lot of opportunities, but now it's mainly about accumulation." Zhou Lao earnestly taught: "Don't think that if you have learned enough theoretical knowledge, you can relax. In fact, our line of work is the real book, and we hate it when we use it. Judging the authenticity and origin of a thing often relies on a few words, or a few key words......"

Next to him, Pi Qiushi nodded again and again, obviously agreeing very much.

"Old Zhou, of course I know this, and I've been looking at Shiqu Treasures recently." Wang Guan hurriedly said, after seeing a lot, he realized that what he had learned before was not enough at all, so he naturally had to continue to study in depth.

"Shiqu Baoji is good, but it's a bit mixed. There are not only dazzling pearls and treasures in the history of the development of Chinese painting and calligraphy, but also a large number of forgeries and imitations in the past dynasties, and the famous works recorded in the book are not necessarily authentic. ”

Zhou Lao nodded and smiled: "I also have a set of Shiqu treasures in this, and there are my notes on the pages, marking the authentic works, fakes, and doubtful things." Go back and take a look at it and make a reference. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Wang Guanxi was in shape, and Pi Qiushi was even more envious.

You must know that connoisseurs also pay attention to a heritage, and self-taught is certainly admirable, but the process requires more effort and effort. But it is different to have a famous teacher to guide you, and you will inevitably be able to avoid many detours, so there is a word called famous teachers out of high apprentices......
