Fang Jing sat on the seat in the front of the middle of the venue, touching his chin and watching the chief auctioneer on the stage passionately introduce an auction item on the stage, Cen Jiu sat beside him, his waist-length long hair was casually tied behind his head with a hair rope, his back was straight, his eyes were slightly drooping, and his handsome facial features were heroic.

InterContinental Haicheng is holding a unique auction of artifacts to bid on several rare artifacts. As a brick family in this area, Professor Lu was invited to come to the auction to see the auction, Fang Jing a few days ago because of the Siamese ship, to consult Professor Lu a lot of professional knowledge, Professor Lu deeply felt that Fang Jing is eager to learn, today to take him out to open his eyes.

On the booth is a blue and white porcelain vase, with a slender neck, full shoulders and a round belly, and a beautiful and dignified shape.

As soon as this long-necked bottle was taken out, the audience began to talk about it.

"Alas, this blue and white porcelain vase of the Ming Dynasty was secretly salvaged by a group of foreign pirates from a shipwreck in the South China Sea seven years ago, and most of the porcelain fell into the hands of foreign collectors. The expression on Professor Lu's face was very excited and sad, excited to see with his own eyes that the ancient relics that had been scattered abroad finally appeared again at the auction of the Heavenly Dynasty, and the sad thing was that in addition to the Chinese, there were many crooked nuts that came from the wind.

The cultural relics of their own country are still competing with a bunch of crooked nuts, which is really a pain for the Chinese people.

Fang Jing thought of the large pile of Songjialuo porcelain in the water bubble, and his heart was so weak that he didn't dare to speak.

"This Ming Dynasty treasure blue and white entwined branch lotus pattern long-necked bottle, white glaze moist color full, blue and white hair color is strong, unique charm, can be called the Ming Dynasty Yongxuan blue and white porcelain boutique, at present, and this shape is similar to the porcelain, only two pieces are known, one is the National Museum collection of Yongle glaze three sheep bottle and the capital Mr. Gu Qingzhi once collected the glaze string pattern long-necked bottle, this is the third piece." The main filmmaker gushed endlessly.

"These three collections are similar in style in shape, and they are all specially made imperial porcelain of the Yongle Dynasty. The starting price is 2.6 million. ”

Immediately, a foreign devil held up a sign, and a middle-aged man with glasses in the other corner of the hall followed suit.

Fang Jing was taken aback, he didn't expect that the starting price of such a piece of porcelain would be as high as 2.6 million, so he didn't know how much Song Jialuo porcelain in his hand could sell, but unfortunately he couldn't take it out and realize it now.

This feeling of guarding Baoshan but not daring to spend it is really embarrassing.

With the foreign devils raising their signs, several groups of people picked up the bidding signs to bid.

Fang Jing took a look around and found that the bidders today were obviously divided into several factions, three foreign devils, a group of neon people, a group of pedantic characters led by the middle-aged man who bid just now, and a few Chinese people who were dressed very elegantly, it seems that they are some domestic collectors.

"Five hundred and sixty thousand! This gentleman offered 5.6 million! Is there a higher offer? Five million once, five million six hundred thousand twice - well, that gentleman raised his card, five million eight hundred thousand! ”

When the bid reached more than four million, the middle-aged man with glasses had already begun to wipe his sweat frequently, and when the auction reached five million, the expression on the middle-aged man's face was completely disappointed and gave up the bid.

"It's from the Cultural Relics Bureau?" Fang Jing glanced at it and asked.

Professor Lu nodded, looked at the high bidding, and sighed: "Yes, it seems that the Cultural Relics Bureau is unable to take back this blue and white entwined branch lotus pattern long-necked vase, I only hope that the Chinese people will have a vision and not let this collection fall into the hands of outsiders again." ”

Compared to the excitement of the people at the same table, the expression on Cen Jiu's face was very indifferent, and his eyes fell on Fang Jing's face from time to time, as if Fang Jing's face was more attractive than the millions of cultural relics on the stage.

It's just a blue and white porcelain vase, how many such objects are in the palace, as the secret guard of the Great Qi Dynasty, Cen Jiu said that he has seen too many such things, and it is not unusual at all.

The bidding for the blue and white porcelain vase has reached six million, and most of the people in the venue have given up the bidding, only a foreign devil and a well-dressed old gentleman are unhurriedly holding up their signs.

"That's Mr. Wang, the master collector." Professor Lu introduced Fang Jing in a low voice.

Fang Jing nodded, and took note of this Master Wang's appearance, there were still many bottles and cans in his water bubbles, cups and cups to be sold, anyone who was stupid and had a lot of money and loved to collect cultural relics was his potential buyer.

The foreign devil raised 6.2 million cards, and everyone's eyes in the field were focused on Master Wang, in the land of the Celestial Empire, if the cultural relics of the Celestial Dynasty finally fell into the hands of crooked nuts, I am afraid that it will become an international laughing stock.

Professor Lu was even more eager to fly over and help Master Wang raise his card.

Master Wang raised the sign in his hand.

The main photographer quickly shouted: "Six million eight thousand once, six million eight thousand two times, six million eight thousand three times, the blue and white entwined lotus pattern long-necked bottle of the Qing Dynasty, 6.8 million transactions." ”

Fang Jing felt that when the chief auctioneer finally knocked down the auction hammer, all the Chinese people in the venue seemed to be relieved.

Coming out of the hotel, it was still early, and Fang Jing accompanied Professor Lu to visit the antique street.

There was an auction just now, there were a lot of people on the antique street, and Fang Jing also saw a lot of familiar faces that he had just seen in the venue.

The most on the antique street are porcelain, jade and bronze, but most of these are fakes, especially the porcelain water is too deep, the farmers in Jingdezhen burn an imitation bottle by themselves, or burn a bottle with the bottom of the bottle, and take a few planes, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake.

Other than that, it's money.

The cost of collecting coins is relatively low, and the quantity is large, as long as you have a good eye, you can still pick the real one.

Professor Lu himself is engaged in this industry, of course, he also likes to collect antiques, but it is a pity that the income of university professors is not enough to support his extravagant hobby, and Professor Lu still sees the coin stall the most.

Fang Jing's vision is not good, his reading ability is not good, and his knowledge reserve is even worse, he is like a little follower behind Professor Lu, anyway, he doesn't plan to buy it, just take a look as if he is playing.

Professor Lu shook his head after looking at several stalls selling porcelain and jade, and finally stopped in front of a stall selling ancient coins.

There was a pile of copper coins on the stall, most of which were Five Emperor coins issued by the Qing Dynasty, and a small number of Ming Dynasty copper coins.

Professor Lu was holding a Five Emperor Coin, which was a Shunzhi Tongbao, and the copper coin was full of patina, and the patina was not floating on the surface, it looked a bit like real money.

"The old gentleman has a good eye, this Shunzhi Tongbao is back to the east, and there is still a bit of collection value in the five emperors' money, if you like it, eighty will give you a good time to bring back to play, anyway, it's not expensive."

Professor Lu took the copper coin and looked at it several times, and it was a bit too expensive: "Eighty is too expensive, fifty." ”

"The old gentleman is too ruthless, I received this money for sixty, you can't let me lose money, sixty-five."

"Fifty-five."

Professor Lu and the stall owner began to bargain on the spot like buying side dishes, and Fang Jing squatted on the ground and looked at the coins on the stall. Even Fang Jing could tell that the coins on this stall were all ordinary Five Emperor coins, and there were no particularly precious coins.

He dialed the coin twice, spread it out on the stall, and suddenly, as if his brain had been hit by something, suddenly flooded into a lot of mixed images.

In the dim earthen house, the lean old man was holding a dim oil lamp, holding a carving knife in his hand, and was carving something on a copper coin, and his cloudy old eyes were faintly shining with excitement.

On the official road, the knight quickly whipped his horse and rolled up a cloud of dust. In the courtyard of the high gate, the tall knight passed through the layers of pavilions, pavilions and water pavilions, and cautiously handed over the copper coin wrapped in a handkerchief to the nobles.

On the edge of the rosewood desk, a middle-aged scribe holds a magnifying glass, stretches the lines on the copper coin one stroke by one, and a sturdy man holding a big knife and a tiger's back steps on the bench, eating meat and drinking wine, and the salty sea breeze blows the hunting flag outside the courtyard.

Outside the docks, the tall captain stood on the deck in high spirits, with a copper coin hanging from his bare chest, and the sailors shouted and swayed the boat, and the dark boat rode the wind and waves to the other side of the sea.

"Xiao Fang?" Professor Lu's voice rang in his ears.

Fang Jing came back to his senses, and his gaze fell on an ordinary square-hole copper coin in his hand.

It was a Qianlong Tongbao, and it was a wordless money with a bare back, with many fine cracks on the back, which was badly damaged, and it was worthless rags.

"Do you have anything you like? I'll give you a slap in the face. Professor Lu took the four copper coins in his hand and looked at him with a smile.

Fang Jing took the copper coin in his hand and looked at it twice, and the stall owner said nonchalantly: "This bareback wordless money, if you want it, count it as five yuan for you." ”

Professor Lu also frowned and said, "This is useless, there is no collection value." "Five dollars isn't worth it.

Fang Jing touched his nose and smiled a little embarrassed.

"I'll take the two dollars back and kick the shuttlecock for the neighbor's kid."

"Just use a small gasket to make shuttlecock, it's a waste." Professor Lu shook his head disapprovingly.

Fang Jing felt that it made sense, put the copper coin back, and the boss said: "Five-yuan things, what can you do for five yuan, you can't buy a bowl of noodles, it's good to buy a copper coin and go back to coax the child." ”

The boss tried his best to sell it, he bought this pile of copper coins by two catties, five yuan is not much, but it is also considered to be profitable, selling one is counted as one, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat.

In the end, Fang Jing bargained, bought this bareback wordless money for three yuan, threw it into his pocket casually, and left with Professor Lu.

After coming out of the antique street and eating a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall, Fang Jing and Professor Lu went home separately.

On the bus, Cen Jiu looked at him and said, "That copper coin is very special?" ”

Fang Jing smiled, shaking his head happily: "It's hard to say." ”

In addition to allowing him to breathe freely underwater, his water bubble also has a magical function, as long as he touches the artifact fished out of the water, it will come to mind the past and present life of this item, if he guessed correctly, the back of this copper coin is engraved with a nautical chart.
