Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Heirloom General's Jar

Because of the rest of the "Luban Sutra", Ma Guorong began to be interested in antiques, from thousands of porcelain pieces to select more than ten pieces to form a Guanyin bottle, and the traces of repair adhesion to cover up, even with the world's most sophisticated instruments It is difficult to check that the porcelain has been repaired, Ma Guorong played with the Guanyin bottle, and became more and more fond of the characters of the Three Kingdoms above, not only the shape and characteristics of each character were depicted on the picture, but also highlighted the arrogance and contempt of Guan Yu at this age at this moment from other details. This is also the fundamental reason for the carelessness of Jingzhou.

Ma Guorong, who had studied the "Luban Sutra" for a few days, accidentally learned something when he was on the phone with his parents, which made Ma Guorong very concerned.

"Last time, when I pushed the old house to clean up, I accidentally broke a jar left by the older generation, what a pity, and I want to keep it as an heirloom." Ma Jianhua's small talk attracted Ma Guorong's attention and asked him about the jar, and Ma Guorong began to search for memories from his childhood.

"It seems that my parents used to use it to hold brown sugar cubes, and I almost broke it in order to eat a piece of candy, but now after so long, the porcelain is easy to break after all, and I still can't keep it when building a new house." The reason why ancient porcelain is precious is that it will be difficult to preserve, especially practical utensils, which are easy to go wrong in daily use.

"I don't know if that jar is an antique, but since it was left by the older generation, it should be kept well." Ma Guorong asked whether his father's broken jar had been discarded, and got the information that it was packed in a cardboard box, and he put it down with a hanging breath, for fear that his father would discard the broken jar, after all, there is no antique in the value concept of the older generation, this jar is used as a daily use, if it is collected, there is usually no chance to contact it, so the possibility of breaking it is very small.

Ma Guorong asked his father to express the broken jar to him, and asked him to take some protective measures to prevent the tendency of breaking to be greater.

"I can even repair such a small Guanyin bottle, a large jar has only broken a few sections, and the probability of successful repair should be greater." Ma Guorong was waiting for the arrival of the jar, inquired about the relevant information, and found that the image of the jar in his memory was very similar to the general's jar, and the picture seemed to be the style of the blue and white phoenix peony, in fact, when Ma Guorong went to steal brown sugar when he was a child, he remembered that the general's jar was very old, and the pattern on the picture was not complete, and it had suffered all kinds of damage when it was handed down, that is to say, even if this porcelain vase was an antique, it was estimated that it was not worth much in its condition.

"It's terrible to be uneducated, the ancient general jar was used as a utility to place the ashes of the ancestors, and when I was a child, my parents actually used it to put sugar, salt and other things in the entrance......" Of course, Ma Guorong can't estimate whether this general jar has been used to hold ashes, but thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little chilly.

"It's not easy for the ancestors to leave a treasure, and after it's repaired, it's not bad to use it for collection." Ma Guorong asked his father to send this broken general jar and did not say that it was used for repair, but planned to use it to give it away, so Ma Jianhua would not doubt it, after all, if the broken general jar is repaired completely, Ma Jianhua will definitely get to the bottom of it, in order to avoid this situation, the repaired general jar Ma Guorong will not take to his hometown.

And in Ma Guorong's view, from the genealogy of the Ma family, more than three generations are farmers, and they are not dignitaries, and the general jars that have been handed down cannot be anything valuable, it is estimated that even if it is an antique, it is probably produced by the folk kiln, as a mass-produced general jar, the collection value will be greatly reduced, but for Ma Guorong it is a memory of childhood.

The so-called bittersweet memory, looking at the jar that was regarded as a treasure when I was a child, in order to be able to eat the brown sugar inside, I don't know how many tricks I used, but now I can't help but smile when I think about it.

The pure and sorrowful childhood memories evoke the good memories of Ma Guorong when he was a child, even if the family was very bitter and poor at that time, Ma Guorong still lived in a honey pot, just because he was the only seedling of the Ma family, which is why there is brown sugar in the general's jar, in fact, it is also a snack prepared for Ma Guorong.

You must know that in the countryside, if you have only one child, it is relatively rare, after all, even if the only child was glorious because of the influence of the national policy at that time, rural people always felt that there was great power in numbers, and the more children the better.

In today's view, this is still relatively normal, after all, if you are an only child, the pressure is too great, Ma Guorong can now also experience this invisible pressure, and when she gets married in the future, if his wife is also an only child, Ma Guorong's pension responsibility will be heavier.

Of course, with Ma Guorong's current state, no matter how many old people he raises, he can afford it, because he is different!

The unpleasant things are put aside now, Ma Guorong determined that Ma Jianhua brought the general tank over, according to the time calculation at the latest, it will take five days to arrive, and there will be no other express delivery in the countryside in the future, so you can only use the state-run one, that urine sex Everyone also understands that five days is a better situation, bad luck is possible for a week or even half a month, and there is no way for Ma Guorong to lose the package at that time.

can only depend on luck, anyway, I know who will steal a broken jar, and it is precisely in this way that Ma Guorong can rest assured that Ma Jianhua will send it over with state-owned express, if it is valuable, it is estimated that he will go to his hometown to pick it up in person.

During this time, Ma Guorong did not try to repair the porcelain pieces, but chose to wait for the heirloom general jar to come to Yuecheng, and wanted to use these days to study the "Luban Sutra" again, and Ma Guorong wanted to find an expert to identify the age and authenticity of the Guanyin bottle of the blue and white colorful picture for the characters of the Three Kingdoms, although there is no idea of transferring, but if you can know what age it is, at least you can guess the approximate age of this pile of porcelain pieces, after all, they are all porcelain pieces in a shipwreck, and they should all be produced in a period.

Ma Guorong first drove to an appraisal auction company in Guangdong City to ask the relevant personnel, when Ma Guorong took out the Guanyin bottle and handed it to an old man in his 60s wearing reading glasses in the room, wearing gloves, a very professional old man looked at Ma Guorong, posing as an expert and said: "This is a baby, if you can rest assured, you can deposit it in our company for auction, the starting price is one million, and we will hold an auction in Hong Kong in about half a year. At that time, I will focus on introducing your auction item, but well, it will require an appraisal fee of 200,000 yuan......"

"Will this appraisal fee be refunded?"

"There is no guarantee that it will be returned."

"Oh, goodbye then." Ma Guorong didn't say a word, snatched the Guanyin bottle from the old man's hand, and didn't give him a chance to say more, almost snatched the door.
