Chapter 179: Authentic Xuande Furnace
The hidden method is a means of hiding treasures, and it is still in circulation, but it is very troublesome to do, and few people use it anymore.
The so-called implicit method is to disguise ancient things as modern imitations to protect the disguised things.
In ancient times, some people obtained treasures that they should not have, or treasures that could not be protected, but were reluctant to give them up, and in order to preserve such treasures, they resorted to camouflage. Turn good things into bad things, and ancient things into modern things, so that others will not be stared at, and you can keep the treasure safely.
It is not known who invented the hidden method, but one thing is certain, as early as the Tang and Song dynasties, and it was more popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In modern times, there are many fewer people who use this method because the law has become much better and there are more ways to preserve items.
Liu Lao knew the hidden method, but he had never really seen anything that was done with this method, and after Zhou Lao's prompt, he carefully looked at the Xuande furnace and finally found that there was something wrong with it.
"Xiao Li, you are amazing, such things can be found by you, it seems that we can't accept the old thing!"
After seeing it, Liu Lao sighed and said, Zhou Lao agreed with this, if it wasn't for Li Yang's repeated reminders, he probably wouldn't have found out that this was a Xuande furnace that used the hidden method.
"Don't say that, I'm just lucky!"
Li Yang's face was slightly red, it was the first time he had heard of the hidden method today, and he didn't know it before, but he wouldn't take the initiative to say this, otherwise he would have to explain how he discovered the mystery of this furnace and tried to cause trouble.
"Luck, we want luck like yours too!"
Zhou Lao rolled his eyes, the moon shadow lamp, the Xuande furnace that was concealed by the hidden method, and the high-grade jade that he gambled on the stone before, Li Yang's luck even made them a little jealous.
"Old Zhou, do you think this Xuande furnace can reach the Xuande Dynasty?"
Liu Lao sat up straight, his face became a little serious, what can be used in the hidden method will definitely not be bad, and the things that are covered up in the late Qing Dynasty will at least get the Ming Dynasty. The general Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty does not seem to need to be disguised in this way, and only the very few genuine Xuande furnaces of the Xuande Dynasty will be coveted by people, and this method must not be used to protect.
Zhou Lao shook his head lightly and said, "It's hard to say now, you need to remove the cover on it to see it, but I guess it's very likely to be something from the Xuande Dynasty!" ”
Now even Zhou Lao is very optimistic about this Xuande furnace, and hopes that he can be a treasure of the Xuande Dynasty.
Wu Xiaoli's eyes widened, she didn't expect that there was really a problem with this Xuande furnace, the Xuande furnace of the Xuande Dynasty, it was definitely a good treasure, I really don't know how Li Yang found it.
Ouyang Liang was already stunned, for the director of an auction company, he understood better what the concept of Xuande furnace in the Xuande Dynasty was, it was absolutely impossible for such a thing to be auctioned off, and it would definitely be auctioned at a sky-high price.
"Xiao Li, can you remove the disguise of this Xuande furnace now, let's take a look at its true face?"
Liu Lao turned his head to look at Li Yang again, and said very expectantly, Zhou Lao was even more anxious than Liu Lao, and he was more eager to know whether this Xuande furnace was a thing of the Xuande Dynasty.
Li Yang's face was very ruddy, and he said with a wry smile: "Old Liu, I also very much hope to see the true appearance of this treasure as soon as possible, but I don't know how to get rid of the disguise on it!" ”
Li Yang is telling the truth this time, he has a way to remove the disguise, but there is no guarantee that it will cause damage to the Xuande furnace itself, this Xuande furnace Li Yang has already identified as the Xuande dynasty, and the damage will make people feel distressed at all.
Liu Lao and Zhou Lao glanced at each other, and the two suddenly laughed together, and their laughter was very hearty.
"Haha, Xiao Li, finally there is something you don't know? Ha ha! ”
Liu Lao laughed very happily, Li Yang's performance has always made them very depressed, a younger generation who is so young that he is younger than their grandson has been pressing them in the place where they are most proud, which makes the two old people very unhappy, and now they finally see that Li Yang also has something that they can't do.
But this is called normal, if Li Yang really understands everything, then they might as well go home and hug their great-grandson and give the world to these young people.
"We know a little bit about the way to remove the disguise, it's difficult to do disguise, but it's not difficult to disguise, as long as you have tools, if you agree, we'll remove the disguise right now!"
Zhou Lao still had a smile on his face, but his tone was much more comfortable than just now, Zhou Lao had the same feelings as Liu Lao, and it made them very comfortable to see Li Yang's incomprehensible appearance.
"Yes, since you know the method, I'll trouble you!"
Li Yang nodded immediately, it didn't matter if he was laughed at by the two old-timers, not to mention that they weren't really laughing at themselves.
Zhou Lao nodded, called two staff members who accompanied him, and asked them to go out and buy some things and come back.
While the two of them went out to buy something, Zhou Lao and Liu Lao looked at the Xuande furnace carefully, and the more they looked at it, the more they sighed.
In less than twenty minutes, the two walked in with a basin and a few bottles full of liquids, and when they saw these things, Zhou Lao immediately stood up and took the things himself.
On the other side, Liu Lao actually sat there and brewed tea, but there was a little more tea leaves, and more than three-quarters of the tea leaves in a cup.
Liu Lao first poured some mineral water into the basin, and then poured the liquid in those bottles into the basin in different proportions, what was in these bottles Li Yang didn't know, but he smelled the smell of alcohol.
Zhou Lao carefully took the Xuande stove, took out a new towel, moistened it lightly, carefully wiped it on the Xuande stove, and carefully wiped it on the Xuande stove, every time Zhou Lao wiped it, he had to take a closer look, and then poured out the liquid in the bottle more or less.
After wiping in the same place for a while, Zhou Lao put away the bottles, carefully put the Xuande furnace into the basin, and began to wipe the whole thing.
After each wipe, some thin things will peel off from the body of the Xuande furnace, slowly revealing the real copper body inside.
After scrubbing it all, Liu Lao handed over the tea he had just brewed, and Zhou Lao grabbed out the brewed tea leaves, put them on the body of the Xuande furnace and rubbed them gently. After a while, the body of the Xuande furnace became deeper, and the copper color was natural, which made people have a dizzying beauty.
At this time, Li Yang knew that Liu Lao made tea in order to remove the camouflage on the Xuande furnace, just now Li Yang thought that Liu Lao liked to drink strong tea, and he made it for himself, and he sighed that Liu Lao's taste was really heavy, and so much tea could be drunk.
After more than half an hour, Zhou Lao carefully took out the Xuande stove, carefully wiped every point with a clean towel, and finally gently put it on the table.
Liu Lao and Zhou Lao glanced at each other, both of them saw the excitement in each other's eyes, the Xuande furnace in front of them was indeed an authentic Xuande furnace of the Xuande Dynasty, after removing the disguise, all the performance of the Xuande furnace was in line with the characteristics of the genuine product.
"This is the real Xuande furnace!"
Wu Xiaoli was a little dazed, and muttered, she has seen a lot of Xuande furnaces, but there is nothing that can compare to the shock brought to her by this one in front of her.
"It is indeed an authentic Xuande furnace, you look at this bottom paragraph, I really didn't expect that the person who did the disguise even covered up the bottom paragraph!"
Liu Lao picked up the Xuande furnace, sighed lightly, turned over the furnace, pointed to the six-character regular script at the bottom and continued: "The bottom of the authentic Xuande furnace actually has secret marks, and these secret marks are all covered up, so we didn't particularly care about it at the beginning!" ”
Liu Lao took a breath slightly, and said: "At present, there are three words found on the words of the Xuande furnace, the first is the 'Ming' of the Ming Dynasty, the characteristic of the 'Ming' character of the authentic Xuande furnace is 'the sun speaks and the moon nods', you see, is there a mouth on the upper right side of the word 'Ming'?" Does the bend of the moon character bring out a small corner? ”
Wu Xiaoli on the side hurriedly leaned over and looked at it carefully, this Ming character is really a little different from usual, Liu Lao may not notice it if he doesn't say it, but Li Yang has long known this, and he is not surprised by this.
"The second secret is recorded on the word 'De', the characteristic of the word 'De' is 'the heart is horizontal and four outward, two people board the boat and fly the boat', the regular script on the Xuande furnace 'De' character has these characteristics!"
Liu Lao pointed to the word 'De' again, and Wu Xiaoli found that the horizontal on the heart of the word 'De' was really gone, and it was connected with the four, and a side was exposed on the left.
"The third secret is the word 'year', 'the wind blows the first tree and floats the willow', in which the tree is the same sound as the vertical, and the word 'year' on the authentic Xuande furnace is a little bent, so there is such a meaning in it!"
After Liu Lao finished speaking, he straightened the Xuande furnace again, and handed the Xuande furnace to Zhou Lao.
After Zhou Lao took it, he sighed lightly and said: "I have collected several versions of the Xuande furnace, but there is no authentic Xuande furnace, a few years ago, I was fortunate to see the original product at the French auction, but it was a pity that it was auctioned away by a foreign buyer, and I regretted it for a long time." And the Xuande furnace in front of us is in better condition and more intact than the French one, which can be called a national treasure! ”
Zhou Lao's eyes seemed to be a little moist as he spoke, and the staff next to him hurriedly stepped forward to hand over Zhou Lao's towel, Zhou Lao wiped his face, and drank a cup of tea in one go, and his excitement slowly calmed down.
"Yes, it can be preserved in such a complete way, the camouflage of the hidden method is indispensable, but more importantly, when I met Xiao Li, even if we two bad old men see this Xuande furnace, I'm afraid it will continue to make it dusty!"
Liu Lao said with a sigh, and glanced at Li Yang as he spoke, Zhou Lao nodded violently, with a grateful look in his eyes, these old people have special feelings for the inheritance of ancient culture.
