The antiques brought by Rogov are stored in an antique shop called "Solo", there are about 300 pieces, but there are not many Chinese antiques, and most of them are porcelain, the total number is about 50 pieces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Li, I have carefully studied the classification of cultural relics in Huaxia, and I believe that this one is enough to be included in the list of first-class cultural relics."

In Luo Guofu's hand, it is a bowl with a diameter of 19.5 cm of Yaozhou celadon carved peony pattern in the Northern Song Dynasty, the bowl is glazed with green glaze throughout, the glaze is blue and yellow, the pattern is clear, the shades are alternate, the pattern is slightly convex, and it has a good visual effect.

Peony flower in the traditional Chinese culture means wealth, the utensils are decorated with tangled branches peony is the most popular theme in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty in Yaozhou kiln, coupled with the dense fetal quality, exquisite and smooth carved patterns, Li Yi believes that this celadon sea bowl should be the heyday of Yaozhou kiln, can definitely represent the highest level of Yaozhou kiln carved celadon firing.

"This one is good, this one is not bad."

In Li Yi's hand is a Yuan Dynasty Longquan celadon cane section washing, cane section washing is to shape the shape of the pen wash into a short and thick cane section shape, the earliest Song Dynasty official kiln production of one of the washing type, the Yuan Dynasty Longquan kiln production more, but now there are very few.

This piece of celadon pen wash with a diameter of 11 cm is divided into a total of 13 small sections, the inner wall of each section is concave in a certain arc, and the outer wall is divided into two parts, the upper half is shorter, but the angle is vertical, the lower section is longer, and it is obliquely closed to the bowl foot, it looks a bit like it is bonded with more than a dozen shrunken tiles, the whole body is cyan and slightly translucent blue background, and the body is covered with large open pieces, which is definitely a rare treasure.

"Well, I brought a lot of porcelain this time, there should be a few more pieces like this, Mr. Li can choose slowly, don't worry."

Li Yi nodded, first sifted the porcelain, among the 32 pieces of porcelain, the proportion of Song porcelain is as high as 20%, of which there are as many as 4 pieces of fine carved celadon from the Yaozhou kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the other two are also the fine products of the Longquan kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In addition, he also selected a Yuan Dynasty Longquan celadon cane section wash, a Kangxi blue and white landscape bowl, a Yongzheng pastel flock foraging picture pen holder, these nine pieces, although the value is different, but basically can be included in the national first-class cultural relics.

In addition to these 32 pieces of porcelain, 7 of the remaining 16 cultural relics are ancient jade ornaments, but the jade material used is average, and there is no famous work, so Li Yi just looked at it and put it aside, but in the last 9 pieces of jewelry, he found a good thing.

This is a gem head flower in the old collection of the Qing Palace, to be exact, it should be called butterfly pink crystal peony hairpin.

Pink quartz is pink crystal, also known as hibiscus stone, mostly produced in Brazil, the United States and other places, although there are domestic production, but the quality is very rare.

This butterfly pink crystal peony hairpin is different, in which the butterfly with wings and the peony in full bloom are used in the pink crystal thin slices, the pieces are crystal clear, evenly colored, coupled with exquisite workmanship, even now, it is a delicate jewelry.

"Okay, I want these 10 pieces, you can make a price."

Rogov glanced at these things selected by Li Yi, and stretched out a thumbs up with admiration on his face, indeed, these 10 pieces are all high-quality products, and they are also the 10 most valuable of these Chinese antiques he brought over.

"These ...... A total of 1.2 million euros. ”

1.4 million? Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but be in a trance, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong, these, a total of 1.4 million? Not to mention those porcelain, just this butterfly pink crystal peony hairpin, he estimated that it would cost more than one million euros, so much, only 1.4 million?

He was silent and didn't speak, but he didn't expect Rogov to be wrong, thinking that he was too expensive,

"Mr. Li Yi, this price really can't be lower, these Song porcelain, if it is auctioned, the price of each piece should not be less than 90,000, and the value of these three porcelain, pastel pen holders and blue and white bowls should not be less than 300,000, and this butterfly pink crystal peony hairpin, although it is a work of the late Qing Dynasty, and the material is only made of crystal, but you look at its workmanship, I believe that it will definitely not be inferior to those top jewels at the exhibition, and there is absolutely no problem with a value ......of 200,000 euros."

Li Yi nodded, the quotation of Luogufu porcelain should be relatively accurate, but the butterfly pink crystal peony hairpin only judged its value from the material workmanship and simple generation, but there were a lot of deviations. Because of this kind of fragile jewelry, there are very few unearthed cultural relics that can be preserved so intact or even defaced, and only carefully preserved heirlooms can ensure that their style is as good as before, and because of the turmoil of nearly a hundred years, such fine products will never exist more than 50 pieces in China, and most of them are still collected in museums, so the value of this butterfly pink crystal peony hairpin is definitely far more than the value estimated according to the normal concept.

Although he realized that he had taken another big advantage, if he didn't pay back the price at all, I am afraid that Rogov would also be suspicious, considering that these were only a small part of the collection he brought to Paris, Li Yi hesitated for a moment and said:

"Mr. Rogov, first of all, I want to say that you are indeed an expert in Chinese cultural relics, this quotation is very accurate, but you seem to ignore the impact of the type on the value of porcelain, simply put, in ancient Chinese porcelain, the value of bottles and jars ornamental ware is generally higher than that of practical utensils such as dishes, so this piece, as well as these two pieces, the real value should not exceed 150,000 euros, and this pastel pen holder will definitely not cost 300,000 euros......"

After some bargaining, the final price was set at 1.18 million euros, minus the "Dream Elf" tag that Li Yi gave to Rogov, Li Yi still needs to pay him a full 1 million euros!

"Mr. Li Yi, I think you should have a preference for porcelain, and porcelain also accounts for a large proportion of my collection, I don't know if you are still interested?"

"Oh? What other porcelain do you have? ”

Rogov smiled, turned on the computer, and brought up a file,

"This is some of the more precious Chinese cultural relics in my collection, if Mr. Li Yi is interested, you can choose slowly."

"Hehe, then you're welcome!"

Li Yi took the laptop, read the preface first, and found that there were 119 pieces of porcelain in this catalog alone, in addition, there were 32 ancient books, 40 ancient paintings and calligraphy, 38 jade carvings and jade ornaments, 87 ancient gold and silver jewelry, and 97 other pieces of Ming and Qing dynasty furniture and miscellaneous, adding up to a total of more than 400 pieces!

Almost every one of these antiques is accompanied by pictures, some of which are taken from several angles, so the total length of this document is more than 500 pages, and this guy is just an ordinary antique dealer who is not even qualified to participate in the Antiques Biennale, he really can't imagine how many Chinese antiquities those internationally renowned collectors will hold in their hands!

While sighing in his heart, he pulled down the mouse to turn the page, and just the first collection made his eyes narrow.

In the first place, it is a fine piece of ancient porcelain, the Northern Song Dynasty Ding kiln white porcelain carved flower plate. In addition, the shape of this porcelain is a little peculiar, although the diameter is only about 12 centimeters, but the part of the plate edge is more than 3 centimeters upwards and outwards, and it looks more like a relatively shallow small bowl.

At the bottom of the vessel, the lines are clearly engraved with lotus and lotus leaf patterns, the lines are natural and smooth, and there is the beauty of bas-relief, which should be the pinnacle of the kiln in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The second piece is also a heavy treasure, the celadon carved lotus leaf mouth vase of the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty. The third piece is a large bowl with a sky blue glaze of Jun kiln, with a diameter of a rare 24 centimeters, and the fourth piece is finally not the five famous porcelain, but Li Yi estimates that its value is mostly not lower than these famous porcelain, because this is a delicate beige Northern Song Dynasty Jizhou kiln paper-cut applique plum branch pattern cup, this kind of porcelain, the number of domestic collections will not exceed 100 pieces, and it is possible that there are not even 10 pieces if it is so intact and so exquisite!

Song Jizhou kiln deer-spotted tortoiseshell glazed bowl, Northern Song Dynasty Yaozhou kiln celadon carved peony pattern holding pot, Song black glazed rust-spotted plum bottle, Northern Song persimmon glazed bucket hat bowl......

The more Li Yi looked at it, the more frightened he became, half of these 119 pieces of ancient porcelain were ancient porcelain of the Song Dynasty, of which there were only 8 products from the five famous kilns, and the remaining ones not only had 5 rare black glazed ancient porcelain of the Jin Dynasty, but even several pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain! Li Yi estimates that the value of these porcelains alone may exceed 100 million euros!

Compared with these ancient porcelain, the ancient books collected by Luo Gufu are slightly inferior, Li Yi looked at more than 20 pieces in a row, and did not see a treasure worth more than 100,000 euros, however, to his surprise, a fragment numbered 0228 was actually a volume of the Tang Dynasty Buddhist scripture "Vimala Sutra Variations"!

The text is estimated to be more than 3 meters long, while the current fragment is only 1.8 meters long, and there are many places where the handwriting is peeling.

But even such a fragment is invaluable, but it is ......

Li Yi looked at an ancient book at the back, but it was a Ming carved book, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, if it is divided according to value, this piece should be placed in the finale of the ancient book category if it is not placed in the first, how can it be placed in the middle quietly? Isn't this the real thing?

didn't see the original, Li Yi didn't want to make a judgment, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart, and then looked back, but he didn't expect that the first piece of calligraphy and painting scared him a lot, this is actually the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" ranked among the top ten famous paintings in China!

Immediately, Li Yi smiled and shook his head, because this painting should not be in Luo Guofu's hands anyway, this piece is definitely an imitation.

"Fuchun Mountain Residence" is a famous painting of Huang Gongwang in the Yuan Dynasty, the first of Huang Gongwang's paintings, is an ink painting on paper, its width is 33 cm, the length is an astonishing 636.9 cm.

The inheritance of this painting is very clear, and it passed through the hands of the useless Venerable, Shen Zhou, Fan Shun, Tan Zhiyi, Dong Qichang, Wu Zhengzhi, and passed to the collector Wu Hongyu in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. Legend has it that Wu Hongyu loved this painting very much, and even ordered this painting to be burned and buried before he died, and was rescued from the fire by Wu Hongyu's nephew, but at this time the painting had been burned into two sections, one large and one small.

At present, the longer latter section is called "Useless Master Volume", which is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei; The previous paragraph is called "Leftover Mountain Map", which is now collected in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Museum, and is the treasure of the museum.

According to these accounts, the painting is definitely a fake. But after Li Yi looked at the pages of photos little by little, he found that it was really difficult to judge before he saw the real thing, because just from the photos, the similarity between this painting and Huang Gongwang's handwriting exceeded 90%!

More than 90%?!

Li Yi was taken aback by his own judgment, and he tried hard to recall the picture of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" in his memory, but found that this painting was not only similar in brushwork, but also extremely similar in pictures, and even most of the pictures were completely overlapping with the memories in his mind!

That's impossible! It is impossible for so many people to identify mistakes, not to mention that the inheritance of this painting is so clear!

"Mr. Rogov, are you sure you have the full version of this painting in your hands?"

After looking at it and hesitating for a long time, Li Yi still couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, I do have a full version of this painting, but it should be a replica. Mr. Li Yi, you know, this painting is very long, and it will be very troublesome to take a complete picture and then put it together, so I just used the photos on the Internet......"

"Poof!"

Li Yi couldn't hold back, and almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood, your sister, in order to save trouble, you actually used photos of authentic works on the Internet to pretend to be, do you know that this is very inhumane? Lao Tzu's brain cells have died dozens of them because of this!

"However, although my painting is an imitation, it should also be from a famous artist, and you will know it when you see the real thing......"

Li Yi waved his hand weakly, whatever, no matter how real it is, it is just an imitation, but if this thing is really a real work, it is estimated that he will go bankrupt.

"Honestly, how many of these pictures are like this? If you have anything, tell me quickly, I ......"

"No, no, just this one, I promise the rest is true, I didn't go out for a whole week to take these pictures......"

"What about this one?"

Immediately followed by "Fuchun Mountain Residence" is a famous Ming Dynasty calligrapher and painter Dong Qichang's work, "Yunlan Ethereal Scroll", this painting, even the inscription, is more than 3 meters long, if according to Luo Guofu's theory, this also belongs to the type of online photos.

"No, no, this is definitely a real photo, you look at the style, and the seal, this is definitely a real handiwork, for the real work, I will never treat it casually."

Li Yi nodded, first looked at the introduction, and found that it was inscribed by Zhu Tazhi, a famous collector in the late Qing Dynasty, and there was the seal of Zhu Tazhi and his library "Cong Bi Xuan".

In the section of knowledge, there are words such as "Xuanzai painting and inscription", and there is also Dong Qichang's seal on the side, judging from these signs, this may indeed be a genuine handiwork. (To be continued.) )
