Chapter 115: Relic of the Palace
"Little shopkeeper, are these things just outside?" The old man looked at it and asked with a smile.
"There are still some things that I haven't taken out, and I don't want to sell them for the time being. However, there is a pair of things that are similar to the ones you play with. Tang Yi smiled and said, "You sit down first, and I'll show it to you?" β
"Okay." The old man sat down at the waiting table by the counter and rested his hand on the table, still playing with the pair of walnuts in his hand.
Tang Zhongfeng also noticed the pair of walnuts at this time, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but step forward and accosted, "You are from Yanjing?" β
"Yes, come to Shanzhou to do something, get up early today, come to this antique street to walk around, you are the boss?" The old man replied politely.
"My son is the boss." Tang Zhongfeng pointed to Tang Yi, who was going to get something, "You have this pair of walnuts in your hand, have you been doing it for years?" β
The old man smiled heartily, "You two have noticed!" With that, he put the pair of walnuts on the table, "Three-edged lion head." β
The lion's head is a major variety in the walnut, quite popular, and the three ridges are a relatively precious and rare variety in the lion's head, the general walnut has only two edges, the walnut is divided into two sides, and the three edges have one more edge, the walnut is divided into three sides. Because it looks like the Mercedes logo when viewed from the top, the three-edged lion head is also called "Daben" by players.
Tang Zhongfeng saw the old man put the walnuts on the table, and knew that he was letting himself take a look, so he nodded and picked it up, "The pile is short enough!" β
The pile refers to the height of the walnut from low to pointed, and the low pile is more beautiful because it is more beautiful, so it is more expensive than the normal pile image and the high pile. Tang Zhongfeng picked up this pair of walnuts, the weight was not small, and he was very thug.
The pair of three-edged lion heads had been played with purple-red, with an agate-like jade luster, and they couldn't help asking, "This must have been played for at least twenty or thirty years, right?" β
"I just got this two years ago, and I don't know how long I've been playing with it, but it should be longer than you said." The old man smiled slightly.
At this time, Tang Yi walked over with a small rectangular brocade box, listened to the conversation between his father and the old man, and said in his heart, "Yes, I just think it's a plaything in recent years, and I think it's 350,000 yuan, but I didn't expect that playing walnuts has a long history, in case it is something that has been around for years, it is really more than this price!" β
"You give me the palm of your hand!" Tang Yi put the small brocade box on the table and opened it. Inside, there is a pair of Poper fitness balls.
Watching the old man pick up the Po fitness ball, Tang Zhongfeng also put the walnuts on the table, Tang Yi picked it up with his hand, and after some playing, he had a bottom in his heart, "No wonder there is Baoguang, daring to love is something in the Xianfeng period!" β
If you want to say that the history of walnuts in this article is really a long time ago, there was it in the Han Dynasty, and it was already more popular in the Tang and Song dynasties. The famous carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao not only played with walnuts, but also carved them with his own knife. Emperor Qianlong is an expert in appreciating walnuts, and he once wrote a poem: The sun and the moon rotate in the palm of your hand, and you want to turn back time. The whole body is full of qi and blood, when is it a white head?
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, inside and outside the palace, a pair of good walnuts in his hands turned out to be a symbol of identity and taste, the so-called "three treasures in the hands of Baylor, wrenching the walnut cage bird". To this day, the Palace Museum in Yanjing still has walnuts in a rosewood box.
At this time, the old man put down the walnuts, picked up the fitness ball, and said after turning it a few times in his hand, "This pair of fitness balls is much more than my walnuts, the literati play walnuts, the martial artists turn iron balls, the rich carry gourds, and the idlers go to walk the dogs, hahahaha." β
What the old man said was the smooth talk of the folk idle play in Yanjing, and the reason why the hand-rubbing walnut was called the walnut was precisely because of this.
"Hahahaha, what do you think of the quality of this pair of fitness balls?" Tang Yi also laughed a few times.
"It seems to be, is it rhino horn?" The old man asked. This question made Tang Yi a little depressed, he thought that the old man was an antique expert, but he didn't want to ask such a foreign question, the difference between this amber and rhino horn, for a discerning person, he knew at a glance that he had played for a while, and he actually asked such a question.
Moreover, when the old man spoke, he didn't look like he was pretending to be confused.
"You really can't see the material of this pair of fitness balls?" Tang Yi asked cautiously.
"I'm really not very proficient in antiques, although I usually like it, but it's just to watch a lively look, not a rhino horn?" The old man said seemingly unabashedly.
"This is an old thing of amber, and the black amber is called Amber, and it is older than your pair of walnuts!" Seeing this, Tang Yi explained simply.
The old man put the ball back in the brocade box and picked up the walnut again, "Oh, I see. But little shopkeeper, can you tell how many years I've been playing with walnuts? β
Tang Yi looked at it, the old man was obviously not interested in this pair of fitness balls, and listening to him, he didn't seem to know how many years his walnuts were. But sometimes, some masters like to pretend to be confused, make themselves like a mallet, this old man behaves very stylishly, and took such a pair of old walnuts, it is indeed possible to pretend to be confused.
Tang Yi smiled, thinking to himself whether he was pretending or not, since he asked, I might as well just say a few words.
"Take a closer look, this pair of triangular edges, I'm afraid the year of playing must be about one hundred and fifty years, this pattern has basically been smoothed, and the whole is purple and red like agate jade." Tang Yi stood up and paced a few steps, "This three-edged breed and pairing, coupled with this kind of size, could only be something that came out of the palace or the palace one hundred and fifty years ago!" β
"Little shopkeeper, are you sure?" The old man's face was slightly surprised.
"Well, it's basically something that should be from the Xianfeng Dynasty!" Tang Yilang said.
"The person who sent the thing said that it was a relic of Prince Gong's mansion, and said that it could prove it, but I thought it was an exaggeration, and I didn't care. If you're going to do it, it's still true! The old man said, "Then how much is this pair of walnuts worth?" β
Hearing Prince Gong's Mansion, Tang Yi's heart was slightly shocked, according to the identification and analysis generated in his brain, there is no doubt that this pair of walnuts is something in the court or palace of the Xianfeng Dynasty, but it is not so specific, if it is really a relic of Prince Gong's Mansion, and can prove the origin and inheritance, it is really not a one-to-one plaything.
Prince Gong's Mansion was the largest palace in the Qing Dynasty and was once used as the residence of Heshen. In the early years of Xianfeng, Prince Gong Yi entered this house, and the name of Prince Gong's Mansion also came from this. Prince Gong's Mansion carries extremely rich historical and cultural information, the so-called "a Prince Gong's Mansion, half of the history of the Qing Dynasty".
And "Devil Six" Yi is also a big celebrity in modern history, if it is really a relic of Prince Gong's Mansion, maybe Yi has played with this pair of walnuts!
"If you want to estimate itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Tang Yi said half a sentence, but stopped again.
