Tang Yi is actually most concerned about this. This is more than 80 pieces of jade feather tubes, if it is really as Liao Yuansheng said, they are all genuine products of the Qing Dynasty, then this way is indeed worth pondering.

If you really collect it one by one, you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month. (P.S.: It happens that this year's Bingshen year, the fifth month of the lunar calendar, is actually the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, and today has begun to enter!) The next Year of the Monkey will have to wait another twelve years. ）

"There must be a lot of articles on this way, did he tell you?" Tang Yi asked.

"This person is quite cool, he went with me to get the money, and after getting it, we went to a secluded place, and he really said it." Old Man He nodded.

"What did he say?"

He said that in fact, he is also a second-class dealer, and the real source of goods is in Hangzhou. He also told me very mysteriously that the owner had hundreds of high-quality jade feather tubes in his hands, and he only kept a few dozen of the best, and the others were all gone! Old man He introduced.

"What?" Tang Yi directly extinguished the unfinished cigarette, "It's all the jade feather pipe of the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Yes, he said that it was all from the Qing Dynasty. When I asked again, he didn't say anything, and told me that it would be better to ask less about this cargo owner! Old Man He said.

Tang Yi nodded, took out another cigarette, took a few puffs, and suddenly asked, "Old man, what period do you think are the more than eighty jade feather tubes you went to see?" ”

"How can I have your eyesight, it's very difficult to conclude that it is from the Qing Dynasty. Liao Yuansheng didn't say much. Originally, he asked me to go to see things together, but he broke the rules of their Liao family, and I have always been tight-lipped, but you are an exception, you have to say it. ”

Tang Yi knew that the old man had long regarded him as his own, nodded, and asked again: "What about those pipes compared to the one in your hand?" Looking at the process and pulp, are they all similar? ”

"It's like. I think there should be no late Qing Dynasty at least. ”

Tang Yi's brows furrowed tightly. For he had in mind some records, records related to a large number of pipes.

He Shen fell, and Jiaqing was full.

Qianlong died on the third day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the first month, Emperor Jiaqing ordered to copy Heshen's home. Needless to say, gold and silver treasures, antiques, and treasures, although many scholars have disputed the specific amount, but the total income of the Qing government for more than ten years is about the same.

Among the confiscated things, there are more than 800 pieces of jade feather tubes!

Of course, He Shen is a first-class member, and it is normal to use the jade feather pipe, and Emperor Qianlong must have also appreciated his jade feather pipe. However, he actually hid so much himself!

It is said that among the more than 800 pieces, there are dozens of excellent ones, some of which are full of green, some of which are of glass species, and some of which are of very special colors.

After stealing these jade feather tubes, Jiaqing must have kept them, and he may also reward them to the first-class masters. The successor emperor will also reward, and not even necessarily only give a first-rank master, for example, the great eunuch Li Lianying is extremely powerful, although it is only a third-grade, but on his hat is a boxwood-green glass jade feather tube.

Even so, from Jiaqing to the last Xuantong, for more than a hundred years, with special cases such as Li Lianying, it can be estimated that there should be no more than two hundred jade feathers rewarded.

What about the rest?

Except for a few records, most of them are missing! At the very least, there are historical materials to check the more than 800 jade feather pipes found from He Shen's family, but most of the subsequent whereabouts cannot be found!

If the owner of the goods did not lie to Mr. He, if this batch of pipes were all from the Qianlong period, then it is very likely that the big owner of Hangcheng was in the hands of most of the pipes found in Heshen's house!

Otherwise, it is really difficult to explain why there are such a large number of genuine Qing Dynasty jade feather tubes. One or several, a small amount of collection, the possibility of making up such a large number is almost zero.

"Hangcheng?" Tang Yi looked at Old Man He, "This big shipper is really not simple!" I was going to Hangzhou in two days, but I didn't expect there to be such characters in Hangzhou! ”

"Could it be that there is a big problem with this batch of jade feathers?" Seeing that Tang Yi's expression was wrong, Old Man He immediately asked.

Tang Yi said his inference in general, and Old Man He was also shocked, "These hundreds of Heshen's private collections are now in private hands?" ”

"Regardless of how he got it, it seems to be heirloom, at least on the surface, and it doesn't seem illegal to buy and sell." Tang Yi groaned, "It's understandable that you don't shoot all of them and keep dozens of top-notch pieces." It's just, why did he wait until now to make a move? ”

Old Man He said, "If you are interested, let me ask Liao Yuansheng?" ”

"The significance is not very big, no matter who the big owner of Hangzhou is, since it has been sold, it can't be recovered. And the dozens of best items in his hands definitely don't look like they plan to sell. Tang Yi said.

"Liao Yuansheng bought only 100,000 pieces, this big owner is afraid that it will be lower, he sold hundreds of jade feather tubes in large quantities, even if the price is divided according to the fineness, but the average price is so low, I'm afraid that something will happen, and I am anxious to use the money!" Old Man He analyzed again.

"How can someone who can master this batch of Jade Feather Tubes at once be short of money?"

"That's not easy to say, it's sure that there is no shortage of small money, but what about big money? What if you need a lot of money in an emergency? Even if we have 500 pieces, the average price of one piece is 70,000 or 80,000, that is 30 or 40 million. Besides, he has something in his hand, not necessarily how it came from, maybe he only has this batch of lingguan in his hand, and there are no other treasures at all. ”

"You have a point, too." Tang Yi nodded, "However, even if you know the reason why this big shipper and him made a move, you can't accept anything." ”

"I was moved by what you said. With such a batch of good things, it is enough to open a pipe exhibition. Old Man He said with a smile.

Tang Yi also smiled, "Such a thing can only depend on fate." Okay, let's not talk about that, let's have dinner together in the evening, right? ”

"What, Qianqi made an appointment with me at night, do you want to be together?" Old Man He asked.

Tang Yi thought about it, in fact, he was not exclusive to Tan Qianqi, the relationship between the two was not bad, but he always felt that he was not a person all the way, although Tan Qianqi had a wide range of contacts, his style of acting was a bit maverick, plus now that Lao Tan and Tan Qianchang were working with him, these two people broke away from the Tan family, so it was still a little awkward to see Tan Qianqi again.

However, since Tan Qianqi is Old Man He's favorite apprentice, and the old man proposed it, it doesn't hurt to have a meal together.

"Then I'll ask Wen Jia if she is going." Tang Yi said.

"Cheng, one more person is also lively."
