Chapter 62: Preparing Antiques
When the spring flowers were blooming, Master Gan Lin came to the house again, found Wang Ye, Fu Jin, Yun'er and Tian Liang together, and took Wang Ye, Yun'er and Tian Liang out for a tour in the near future. Asking them to investigate prices is to prepare for the tour. Yun'er remembered that when the master got rid of the nightmare by herself, she had to take her and the prince out in the "Awakening My House".
"You don't need to bring a tael of silver or a piece of clothing, just a few valuable antiques, which can be exchanged for money in the place where you go. As for what antiques are worth, Mr. Chen understands. It will take about half a year to a year for you to arrange the affairs of the house. ”
Fu Jin really wanted to ask Master and Lord Wang where they were going to travel, why did it take so long? Didn't dare to ask. I know who the master is, and the bodhisattva does things that people in the world can imagine.
The prince asked the master again, what is Yun'er going to do? She is a woman's family, and it is inconvenient to go out, so she can just go to the Tian guard.
Master Gan Lin smiled: "Mrs. Yun will play a big role in going out this time, it is not good without her, and the Tian guards have to help her." Each of you has a work to do. ”
Since Master is like this, then do it. There are also Mr. Chen, Sister Peach, Mama Zheng, Mama Liu, Mama Dong and others, all of whom are Fujin's helpers. Fu Jin let the prince go with confidence, the master must have something important to let them go out, it can't be a pure cloud tour. The prince also felt that the master would not lead them to the mountains and rivers, the master had a lot to do, how could he come to the world to play in the world for a year and a half?
The happiest thing is, of course, Yun'er, who still has the opportunity to visit bookstalls, book markets, antique shops and trading houses when she is in the paper shop, and entering the palace is almost like entering a caged bird. Hearing that the prince had traveled to famous mountains and rivers and Buddhist holy places with Fujin before, he envied Yun'er so much that he wanted to go out with the prince to serve Yunyou, and now he was satisfied. But she still has a worry: Can Fujin be happy? At least half a year. Polygamous families are most taboo about which woman is alone with her husband for a long time, and the emperor rarely takes a woman on patrol in that era, and the concubines who can go out of the palace with the emperor must be very favored. He is just a side room, and he is definitely not pampered in the heart of the prince. If you hadn't made trouble, the madness of those years might have been fine, and the past few years may have annoyed the prince. Yun'er didn't know the weight of her own heart in the prince's heart at all. At the same time, Yun'er was also very worried that Fujin had ideas, and the prince would take him out for half a year to a year, and he would not be relieved to change people, so he had to see what Fujin's attitude was. So she asked Fujin to come and explore the truth. Before he could say anything, Fu Jin said: "Sister, go out and take good care of the prince's diet and daily life, and persuade those who are angry and unhappy, and you can rest assured that you have a capable person like you by your side to take care of your sister." It's not good if there is no master in this house, and two more children will be returned. Go with confidence, there are still your father, mother, and Sister Momoko in the house, and my sister will consult them about anything. Xuan'er, you can rest assured, my sister's son will not be wrong. ”
Yun'er is gone, Fujin is better to Xuan'er than Xue'er, she is honestly taking Xuan'er as her own child. has also met Yun'er in person, Xuan'er will belong to her, anyway, Yun'er is young, and she will have children in the future. How can Yun'er not be promised? Xuan'er is much closer to Fujin than to herself, and has always lived in Fujin's Yiran Building.
Yun'er instructed her father and mother to share her worries for Fujin, and entrusted Sister Peach to take care of Fujin and her parents.
Regarding Sister Peach, the prince and Yun'er clearly understood what was going on, so as not to cause trouble if she was suspicious and jealous. Women are very sensitive to this matter, and only two women in total have made a chicken and goose fight, and one unrelated one is even more lively. Fortunately, Yun'er didn't have any dissatisfaction, she believed in the prince very much. Besides, it's reasonable that the prince and Sister Peach have had something, and it's been so many years, what's the point of pursuing it, not to mention that it's nothing. Yun'er, who is sick, thinks about many things, what yours and mine, when it comes to the day you leave this world, everything is someone else's.
Before leaving, the prince went to Fujin's room, and it would take half a year and a year to meet, and there was always something to say.
Master wants to bring antiques, and Yun'er has no shortage of antiques. There are a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the dowry brought from his mother's family, although he can identify which one is valuable, he is not as good as his father. begged the father to appreciate a few valuable items, it seems that God really has an arrangement, at least the identification of antiques will be arranged for Mr. Chen to play a role.
Chen Dabin was very serious in everything he did, and looked at the antiques in Yun'er's dowry one by one, shaking his head and head.
In order to be sure, Yun'er also took Yu'er, who had changed into men's clothes, and asked Tian Liang to follow, and went to the Jade Dragon Paper Store in Liuli Factory, looking for her uncle to collect a few more valuable antiques to take out. Yun'er has basically not spent much money in the past few years when she entered the mansion. The dowry money, monthly money, and jewelry and fabric money that Fujin usually gave to Yun'er when he got married, there are more, at least twenty or thirty thousand. I took three thousand taels of silver tickets for my uncle, and the shopkeeper Zhou didn't want anything. Yun'er made a look like she was going to cry, and the shopkeeper Zhou quickly accepted it. He felt that his brother-in-law had taught him all the business he was doing, and he wanted to repay the kindness of his business.
Shopkeeper Zhou also said: "Coincidentally, I just received a few ancient paintings yesterday, if they are all genuine, it is estimated that they can be worth a few dollars." And a few pieces of porcelain, a few ancient coins, and a few oracle bones, and I'm going to show them to your father. Yun'er immediately brought it back to her father to see, Chen Dabin is an expert in this regard. He turned it over and looked at it for a long time, and it was very sure that it was all genuine, and it would be worth a few dollars. It's just that one of the ancient paintings is so old that it's about to turn into shredded paper, and Yun'er doesn't take anything. Sir: "Take it, maybe you have the knowledge, and it's not a heavy thing." Although it is old, it is likely to be the authentic work of the great painter Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty. If it's genuine, it's worth a lot, and Wu Daozi's paintings aren't much handed down, so it's good to keep them and don't get wet,"
Yun'er had no choice but to take it. I don't know how much my uncle spent on it, or why he spent money on such a thing that is more annoying than chicken ribs. The inside is three layers and the outer three layers are wrapped, and they are separated by wood chips, and the outside is a layer of silk. If it weren't for the fact that Daddy might be valuable, Yun'er would have shaken them out.
Mr. knows that the prince is going to take Yun'er to Yunyou, what kind of favor is this for Yun'er? It's foolproof to exchange antiques for money. He built some insurance, took a few more pieces, this is not good, there is that, the poor family is rich. Picked out from Yun'er's dowry box there is a thin gold book banner of Song Huizong, and there is a lacquerware that is not used for anything, Mr. felt that there was still one less, and felt that he was not sure, so he turned out the bottom of his old box, and found a piece of jade rough stone that has been handed down for many years, the block is very large, about thirteen or fourteen catties, it is the original stone, and there is a large place that has opened the "skylight". It's just that after a long time, the places where the jadeite is exposed have been polished to the edges and corners, foggy, and there is no crystal clear feeling, and it is no longer obvious that it is a jadeite stone, or good, so that it is not noticed. According to Mr. Chen to Yun'er: "This piece of jadeite rough is an ancestor of our Chen family found in a mountain stream in Longxi, when crossing the river, this ancestor stepped on this stone with a very smooth surface, I wanted to throw it far away, when I picked it up, I found that the stone revealed a piece of green, very good-looking, and put it into the jacket on my shoulder, how did he know that this was a jade stone." Where did you think that there could be treasures in the riverbed? He didn't know whether the stone had fallen from a landslide on a mountain and then been washed away by the river for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
The prince looked at the jade stone and refused to take anything: "Sir, this thing must be very valuable, this king can't bring it, this is your heirloom, you better keep it for yourself." You don't have a son yet, so keep it for your retirement. ”
"Xiaguan's heirloom is not only this one, but also it. You are this stone that can provide for the elderly, right? Although Xiaguan has no sons, there are still a lot of people in the clan, dozens of nephews and nephews, and Xiaguan's brother and two grandsons, so you are worried about this. You are a prince, you can't be too shabby when you go out. The officials don't dare to pay attention to whether other things are worth anything, because the valuation of these antiques in the place you go to is likely to be different from that of the Qing Dynasty, but this stone is definitely worth money, and insiders will give a high price when they see it. ”
"You are like this, this king can't bear it anymore. I don't know how far away we went, and it's not good to redeem it if we sell it or pawn it, so let's not bring it with us. ”
"If you can't redeem it, you won't redeem it, after all, it's just a stone, and it's right to go out and get silver. What's this, no matter how valuable it is, it's a stone, you just take it, the poor are rich, bring more antiques, and you have a bottom in your heart, right? ”
In addition to the jadeite rough, there are two pieces of Ruguan kiln porcelain from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, one is a porcelain bowl and the other is a vase. One of them should be called Rugong kiln porcelain, which is more valuable than Ruguan kiln, because it is exclusively for the royal family. There is also a jade pendant of Hetian jade, ten pieces of tortoise shell, and dozens of copper coins worn in a qiēdu. plus a few ancient paintings by the shopkeeper of Zhou, there are a total of more than a dozen. In order for his daughter to be able to complete the business of accompanying the prince on his travels, Mr. is willing to do anything. In addition, Mr. also has a selfish intention, that is, to take this opportunity to return the favor of the prince, when Yun'er was preparing the dowry, he pawned the antique, and the prince spent 20,000 taels of silver to redeem it. Yun'er still felt unsure, if the master wanted to travel for half a year to a year, then he had to prepare for a year. All poor families have rich roads, and a year's time, food, clothing, use, and housing, all cost a lot of money. If you have both people and land, if you run out of money, let the prince carry a big sack at his feet? Shang Yi is a bronze material, which belongs to the real antique, but it has been rusted badly after a long time, and it is already very thin. The clay pot is also a thing that has been around for many years, so it's good to bring it with you. The drum-shaped clay pot is medium in size, and the belly is surrounded by a raised figure that resembles both words and patterns. Mr. has been a long year this year, bring it, and also give Yun'er one of his Zhou Ding at the bottom of the box.
There are also some valuable antiques rewarded by the emperor in the prince's house, but they can't be sold out. Do you dare to sell the reward given by the emperor? If you really take a few rewards from the emperor, it will be terrible, and it will be sky-high. The emperor's royal use, even if it is very valuable, will be worth a fortune. But the prince is very sober-minded, and he can't sell any amount of money that the emperor rewards. In case he remembers to use it one day and can't take it out himself, it will be a big trouble.
The prince doesn't know much about antiques, but Mr. Chen does. The prince also once showed him the rewards given by the emperor, and the gentleman was amazed when he saw it, each of them was very valuable. The prince knows that exchanging this for money is equivalent to exchanging his head for money. Don't be short of money, even if you lack money, you can't risk the world's disapproval.
Jade stone, Shang Yi, Zhou Ding, Song Ru kiln porcelain (two pieces), sheep fat jade waist and Mr. Zhou Wenqing to receive a copy of Wu Daozi, Li Gonglin's ancient paintings, a Song Huizong's thin gold book banner, the Ming Dynasty painter Qiu Ying's paintings, Tang Yin's fan paintings, seven or eight oracle bones, a dozen ancient coins, Han Dynasty lacquerware and a pair of copper boxes in Yun'er's dowry, a clay pot, a total of fifteen kinds of sixteen pieces are all here, all in a very elegant rosewood box.
If the master brings a few pieces, it seems that this "few" cannot exceed ten numbers, and fifteen pieces is enough. I didn't bring too much in moderation, too much also has the meaning of "greed", and I can't fit it in the box.
The master did not allow him to bring clothes and silver, but he was much less troublesome. Otherwise, in a year, you have to bring a few pieces of clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as silver, who knows what the price of the place you want to go to and how much you can bring?
Yun'er, Wang Ye, and Tian Liang were all very confused, it was okay to go out without clothes, but it was okay to hang without silver. If those antiques can't be seen, won't they have to ask for food? Is it okay to go without meals for a year? I don't know the bottom of my heart. But the Master is already there, and he can't disobey the Master.
Xin Yun'er, Mr., and Zhou's shopkeeper all have a few antiques in their hands, although they don't know how much they can be sold, they are all relatively valuable, and it is estimated that they can take a year and a half. Mr. always has room to do things, not to mention that there are his own daughters among the wanderers. If it weren't for Master Gan Lin's rescue, Yun'er would definitely go crazy to death. In order to repay Master's great kindness, we must do a good job in Yunyou. No matter how hard and tired you are, you will persist for a year, and you must not live up to the high expectations of the master.
