Chapter 1136: Halfway Out

It is said that Yongxuan Yongxuan, in fact, between Yongle Emperor Zhu Di and Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji, there is also a Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Zhu Gaochi is Zhu Di's son and Zhu Zhanji's father. However, he only served as emperor for ten months, which was too short, so he was skipped like this, and the title "Yongxuan" became popular.

In addition to these reasons, there is another thing worth talking about this unstoppable statue. The type of Wuzhun that looks very special is not a native type of China, but is transmitted from West Asia. Therefore, Yongxuan blue and white blocks are generally imitated by the prototype and written with Arabic characters.

But this one, there is none, only a twig floral ornament.

Judging from the absence of Arabic characters, it is more likely that this Wubianzun is an imitation of the Qing Dynasty.

This, Tang Yi still has to see the real thing. However, at least two points can be understood at the moment, first, the person who entrusted the auction must have been auctioned as an imitation, because the starting price was only 50,000 pounds. Moreover, I must have consulted a lot of people, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it out for auction.

Second, White's eyesight is indeed not bad, in this case, he must have felt that it was more likely to be Yongxuan Qinghua, so he invited Tang Yi.

The auction is in a hall of a hotel, which is not a small area. When Tang Yi arrived, White greeted him at the door. Tang Yi handed the auction album to White, "Thank you, Mr. White, I've finished reading it, I'll take a look at the real thing later." ā€

White smiled knowingly and looked at Wen Jia, "Who is this?" ā€

Tang Yi briefly introduced it, and only said that he was a friend who came to the UK together. Subsequently, Tang Yi and Wen Jia went to the service desk to go through the formalities and entered the hall.

Tang Yi had already read the auction album and counted it, so he didn't take it again. The auction was not very formal, with five or six round tables in the hall, as well as a table for wine, and waiters serving at each table. When Tang Yi came, there were already many people coming, all drinking wine and chatting, mostly blonde and blue-eyed whites.

There are two black-haired and yellow-skinned men, one with a fat head and big ears and a mustache, and the other with an ordinary face and no features, like a follower of a fat-headed and big-eared man. And according to the number plate, Tang Yi sat at a table with them. However, after sitting down, Tang Yi heard that they were speaking Chinese.

After going through the formalities, Tang Yi knew that although there were only more than 30 lots in this auction, it was divided into two halves, with a half-hour break in between. It seems that this charity auction also has a bit of a drinking party color.

Before the auction, White came to Tang Yi and sat down. For each table, there is a motorized empty seat, and there is no designated number plate. Tang Yi found out as soon as he came, he deliberately sat next to such a seat, and it was estimated that White was likely to be able to sit casually.

After White sat down, people still came over to say hello from time to time. At the same time, from time to time, someone glanced at Tang Yi. Obviously, White was a little too polite in front of this young Oriental.

The two Japanese people didn't seem to know White, and the fat-headed, big-eared man snorted in a low voice, "Be courteous to a Chinese person, this Englishman is not a powerful character." ā€

Tang Yi and Wen Jia basically couldn't understand Chinese, and the fat-headed and big-eared male voice was very low, and they basically couldn't hear clearly. However, judging from their facial expressions, Tang Yi could naturally see that they were very unfriendly.

After the auction began, Tang Yi secretly complained, because before the auction of each thing, he could go up to observe, and it was too long. White told Tang Yi that the half-hour break in the middle also included the time to simply use some desserts and other foods, because it was estimated that after the auction ended, it would probably be past lunchtime. After the auction is over, the winning bidders will be arranged to have a formal meal.

There was nothing Tang Yi liked in the first half, and that Wufang Zun was also the last thing in the first half, Tang Yi was a little bored in the middle, but fortunately with Wen Jia here, the two should chat in another place.

It was easy to get on the field, and Tang Yi and White went up together to take a look. When the fat-headed and big-eared man of the Wa Kingdom saw Tang Yi go up, his eyes changed slightly, but he didn't go up, just whispered a few words to the man next to him.

Tang Yi looked at it and confirmed, this is a Yongle blue and white unstoppable honor! However, although the auction album is very exquisitely made, there is still a slight color difference, which is inevitable, especially the blue and white hair color under the glaze, and it is basically impossible for the photo to be completely consistent with the real thing.

The reason why he can conclude that it is Yongle Qinghua is because it is something that is early in the middle of Yongle. The blue and white of the late Yongle period are similar to those of Xuande, but there are still differences in the middle and early periods.

At the same time, the blue and white of this piece has a great feature, that is, there are no rust spots, and the color is bright and slightly elegant. I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that the original owner will think that it is a Qing imitation rather than the Yongle Dynasty.

However, Tang Yi heard Lu Zhixing introduce that Yongle blue and white once used domestic green materials with high purity to paint ornaments, although there are few such utensils, but they still exist.

This thing, to be honest, Tang Yi was tempted. But White spoke first, and he was too embarrassed to fight. The most critical point is that if the two really fight, White has strong financial resources, and he may not let go if the actual price is higher, don't say that he can't fight, even if he fights, maybe it will become a ridiculously high price.

"Mr. White has good eyesight, Yongle Qinghua." After Tang Yi returned to his seat, he whispered to White.

White was overjoyed, patted Tang Yi's shoulder with one hand, and gave a thumbs-up with the other.

The auction started at 50,000 pounds, and as soon as he opened his mouth, White asked for a price of 100,000. Take the lead. Among them, there are many people who know White, and most people are not very optimistic about this thing, so the price of 100,000 was called, and after the auctioneer called out "100,000 pounds for the first time", no one increased the price.

"One hundred and fifty thousand pounds!"

However, just when the auctioneer shouted "100,000 pounds for the second time", the fat-headed and big-eared man of the Japanese country called for the price.

From the time Tang Yi and White went up to the time they came back, he had been observing, and after coming back, he was even closer to the water and the first to get the moon. He saw that Tang Yi was invited by White.

However, although he added 50,000 pounds at once, he still looked at Tang Yi with contempt.

Halfway to the end of the journey to bite the gold?

White didn't expect that when it came to the "second time", someone suddenly came up with a price increase, and he sat at the same table with himself! However, he did not know these two Japanese people, but he only glanced at them, and then called out the price of 200,000 pounds.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds!" The fat-headed and big-eared man continued to increase the price.

At this time, a rather unhappy expression immediately appeared on White's face.
