Chapter 582: Zhu Ying Appears Again

PS: Today's second more vote, by the way, I recommend my friend's new book The Way of Wuji, there is a connection on the page of the book, you can go and see it.

While speaking, under the guidance of Elder Yan, several people slowly walked towards a room.

At this time, Old Man Su was sitting in the room, talking to a few people, and when he saw Yan Lao coming in, he immediately smiled and said, "Look, I'm right, he definitely can't help but come in." ”

"Now that you know, put everything out." Yan Lao smiled and said, "I can help you identify it for free, so as not to be confused by mermaids." ”

Of course, this can only be said in private, otherwise it will really offend many people. After all, people sincerely offer birthday gifts, which can be regarded as blessings to Old Man Su. As for the authenticity of the gift, the giver will definitely not give a fake thing anyway, but if it is eye-catching, or someone has deceived it, then it is another matter.

In addition, understanding Elder Yan's temperament, Old Man Su naturally did not feel surprised, but said with a smile: "Obviously, I am happy to see the hunt, and I have to say a bunch of high-sounding things, aren't you tired?" ”

"I'm justified by that."

Yan Lao blew his beard, and then smiled: "How is it, the gift list has been sorted out, right?" ”

It's normal to take inventory of congratulatory gifts, and it's even more natural to make a list of gifts. Not only the wealthy but also ordinary people often do this.

In this part of China, people are very important. The gifts are still exchanged, don't look at Old Man Su has received a lot of gifts now, but sooner or later he will have to return them. At that time, the gift list was a reference. It's just that it's a contradiction to talk about human feelings and sophistication and calculate so clearly.

However, everyone has become accustomed to it, and no one finds it strange.

"It's still being counted." Old Man Su responded casually, then handed over the tortoiseshell scales in his hand, and said with a smile: "No, let's take a look at this object first." ”

"Elder Yan. You see, it's the real thing. Hao Baolai smiled and reminded him uneasily.

"I don't need you to say it, I'll watch it myself."

Yan Lao snorted and took the tortoiseshell scales to look at them carefully.

At the same time, Wang Guan also noticed that next to this room, there was a door that led to the spacious hall. Through the open door, a group of people can be seen counting gifts.

It is said that there are a lot of congratulatory gifts sent by the guests, which occupy almost one-third of the space of the spacious hall. It's a pity that there is a curtain to cover it, but it is not so clear.

"Sure enough, it's auspicious."

At the right time, Yan Lao also sighed a little. Then he was a little confused and said, "This thing is a bit weird, though." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, especially Hao Baolai, who was even more taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Elder Yan, can you scare me." I'm too timid to be scared. ”

If Yan Lao identified that something was fake, he really had no face to see people.

"It's a real tortoiseshell, and the markings are natural. What do you have to worry about. ”

Yan Lao said angrily: "I'm just wondering, judging from the fact that the tortoiseshell is hard and soft, it seems that it has been soaked in water for a long time and has just been fished up and wiped dry." ”

Wang Guan and the others listened. There was a look of admiration in his eyes. They knew the origin of the things, and they were originally picked up by the sea water washed ashore, and it was indeed exactly the same as Yan Lao's judgment. With this kind of vicious eyesight, Wang Guan and others think that they can't do it.

"It's good if it's true. It's good if it's true. Hao Baolai sighed lightly, immediately gave a thumbs up and smiled: "It's still Yan Lao who is powerful, and he breaks the mystery in one word." ”

"Less sycophants." Yan Lao scolded with a smile. The expression was also a little regretful: "It's a pity that the polishing technique is very ordinary, and the scales have been soaked in water for too long, and there are no obvious traces that allow people to speculate on the specific age of the thing." ”

"Still, I'm sure of it." Elder Yan groaned for a while, then said with a smile: "The scales are as big as a plate, and the internal markings are so dense, which is enough to show that the tortoiseshell is at least a thousand years old. ”

"Millennial tortoiseshell."

In an instant, not only Hao Baolai was overjoyed, but others were naturally amazed. Although hawksbill turtles can live up to 1,500 years, their scales are so precious that they are often hunted and killed, and their numbers have decreased dramatically. Until now, it is estimated that the hundred-year-old hawksbill turtle is rare, let alone the thousand-year-old hawksbill turtle, which is simply a legendary species.

It goes without saying that under Yan Lao's inference, the value of tortoiseshell scales has increased by two or three percent.

Of course, for Hao Baolai, the more precious the thing, the better, and something like this should be sent out, there is definitely no reason to return it, so he is very relieved.

In fact, after hearing Elder Yan's appraisal results, Old Man Su sighed, stopped talking, and finally shook his head helplessly: "Baolai, things are too valuable...... Remember, the next is not an example! ”

"Old Su, next time you may not have such good luck." Hao Baolai smiled bitterly.

"Old man......"

Old Man Su wanted to say something, but at this moment, a middle-aged man came in the hall next to him, as if he had something to report, and after seeing Elder Yan, he was even more surprised: "Elder Yan is also here, that's really good." ”

"What's the matter, so frizzy." Elder Yan was a little strange.

"Old man."

At the right time, the middle-aged man reported: "There is a gift inside...... How do you say it, why don't you bring it to you and show it? ”

"Something fake?"

Elder Yan was very direct and very straightforward, and asked everyone's confusion.

"No, no, no......"

The middle-aged man hurriedly shook his head, he was a full-time connoisseur, specializing in identifying the value and authenticity of gifts. There are so many gifts, there must be something fake in them. However, that has already been resettled, and it will not be publicized everywhere, so as not to embarrass everyone.

"The thing is real, it is a Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain, and it is indicated that it is an imitation of the Guangxu period. But the results of our appraisal feel that it is not imitation, but genuine! ”

The middle-aged man had a strange expression and a look of surprise: "If it proves to be genuine, then the value of that thing may explode hundreds of times." ”

Yan Lao's heart moved, and he asked the key: "What year is Guangxu imitating?" ”

"Imitation Yongzheng, Yongzheng pastel peach pattern Tianqiu bottle." The middle-aged man added: "There are also five bats to accompany ......"

When Yan Lao heard this, he immediately shouted: "Then why are you still stunned, hurry up and take out the things." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly glanced at Old Man Su, and after seeing that he had no objection, he immediately returned to the hall to bring the things over, and then carefully placed them on the table.

At this time, everyone looked curiously, and saw that the thing was a typical celestial porcelain vase, with a straight mouth and a slightly skimmed mouth, a short neck, a round belly, and a circled foot. The white glaze is applied inside and outside the body, and a peach tree is depicted on the bottle body, with lush branches and leaves, a few peach branches, stretching to the four sides, and the huge and full peach fruit is pressed down on the branches.

The peach is very realistically drawn, full of pink, and lifelike. In addition, there are five bats flying with wings, the color and peach branches and leaves alternate, the painting is delicate and ingenious, it can be called a must.

"Good stuff."

Yan Lao watched for a moment, carefully held up the Tianqiu bottle and looked at it, and it can be seen that the soles of the feet are written in blue and white regular script in the Yongzheng year of the Qing Dynasty, the pen marks are obvious, and the cobalt material hair color is beautiful and extremely clear.

After carefully appreciating it, Yan Lao was very surprised: "This is an imitation?" ”

"Elder Yan, this is indicated on the congratulatory list." The middle-aged man hurriedly explained: "But no matter how we look at it, we don't think it's like an imitation, but like a real Yongzheng official kiln porcelain." ”

If this is the case, then the Su family will make a lot of money. The middle-aged man was full of envy, you must know that the pastel porcelain of the Yongzheng official kiln has always been the darling of the auction house, and each piece is often priced at tens of millions.

At the same time, Wang Guan looked at the Tianqiu bottle beside him, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Old Yan, I seem to know why the giver thinks that the thing is an imitation." ”

"What is the reason?" Elder Yan asked, and the others were also curious and concerned.

"Look at the peaches on it." Wang Guan smiled and reminded: "The number doesn't seem right. ”

"What's wrong, isn't it eight." Yan Lao was puzzled and counted it. After counting, he also found that something was wrong: "Hey, why are there nine peaches." ”

Speaking of which, some people may not be clear about the difference between eight peaches and nine peaches. However, according to a large amount of physical evidence, it can be shown that all peach-patterned porcelain, under normal circumstances, eight peaches were painted in the Yongzheng period and nine peaches were painted in the Qianlong period, so there is a saying that Yongba Qianjiu said.

As for why Yongzheng painted eight, it is not very clear. Or maybe Emperor Yongzheng likes the auspicious number eight, anyway, this is a well-documented fact. Therefore, seeing that nine peaches were painted on the Tianqiu bottle in the Yongzheng period, Wang Guan and Yan Lao felt that the number was wrong, and there might be something wrong. Maybe the person who gave the bottle thought the same thing, and then thought it was an imitation.

Of course, it is said that it is a general situation, and there must be exceptions.

"I remember that the nine peach patterns of the Yongzheng Dynasty can be seen in the pastel Tianqiu bottle, the pastel olive bottle, or the branch pastel plate."

At this time, Yan Lao muttered: "Nine peaches don't mean anything, the key is whether the craftsmanship, pastel, and carcass of the bottle itself meet the characteristics of the Yongzheng period." ”

"Elder Yan, you're right." The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded in agreement: "The peach symbolizes longevity, the five bats symbolize blessings, and the nine peaches and five bats implicitly coincide with the meaning of the Ninety-Five Supreme, which is just a clear proof." ”

Yan Lao picked up the Tianqiu bottle and weighed it slightly, and couldn't help but agree: "It's hard to say now that the evidence is unclear, but this glaze can't see anything fake." ”

Just when everyone was looking at the bottle, Baye next to him pulled Wang Guan's sleeve and whispered: "There shouldn't be any marks engraved in this bottle, right?" ”

Obviously, Baye still remembered the sacrificial red celestial ball bottle he had seen in Jiangzhou, which was a fake forged by Mr. Zhu Da. Now that she saw something of the same form, she couldn't help but wonder in that direction.

"How can it be such a coincidence." Wang Guan smiled, and suddenly his heart moved, and he immediately quietly watched intently.

At first glance, there was no movement in the Tianqiu bottle, Wang Guan's expression sank slightly, and then he couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, Mr. Zhu is really ghostly...... (To be continued.) )
