Chapter 168: Ouyang Xiaomei
"I know you, your name is Qin Xuebing, nicknamed Treasure Hunt Mouse."
The little girl ran to Ouyang Zhanjun and grimaced at Qin Xuebing: "But now you have another nickname, big liar, specializing in deceiving little girls." ”
Qin Xuebing couldn't cry or laugh, he thought that this little girl was soft and weak, but he didn't expect it to be a ghost elf: "Third brother, you deliberately hid to the side to watch my jokes." ”
"Why don't you watch a good show?"
Ouyang Zhanjun smiled and introduced: "The eldest of our Ouyang family, Ouyang Xiaomei, just call her Xiaomei." ”
"Little sister, this name is quite a loss."
Qin Xuebing smiled, walked over and rubbed Ouyang Xiaomei's brain: "Little sister, call brother." ”
"Well, liar brother." Ouyang Xiaomei smiled sweetly, her face full of banter.
"Ghost elves."
Ouyang Zhanjun smiled and asked, "Xiao Qin, how is the harvest?" I heard King Hua say that you got a treasure over there in Fujichong, and I'm going to look at your collection another day. ”
"It's this evening, Hua Tianwang and Lin Da Beauty are also preparing to come over in the evening."
Qin Xuebing smiled, and then said, "But I can't accompany you now, I have a task today, and I have to find a few old things." ”
"Brother liar, how is our game?"
Ouyang Xiaomei suddenly said: "It's richer than today's harvest." ”
"What about the bets?" Qin Xuebing saw the little girl's thoughts, and had already harvested a crystal snuff bottle, and under normal circumstances, he had already won without a fight.
"I heard Sister Zijing say. You have a pair of macaws that can sing. Ouyang Xiaomei's eyes were bright.
"If you win. I'll give you the Red King Kong and the gold, and if you lose, you can have this meal in the evening. "Qin Xuebing naturally can't give away two parrots, they are the pets of Old Man Qin, and they will be brought when he goes to the park, they are very precious.
"It's decided, third brother, let's continue to Taobao." Ouyang Xiaomei chuckled and pulled Ouyang Zhanjun to find the next treasure.
"Little sister, you have to invite this meal at night." Ouyang Zhanjun knew Qin Xuebing's terrifying shit luck. Maybe the next moment you'll find another rare treasure.
"Third brother, you are growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige, I don't believe that he can find a better snuffbox than mine." Ouyang Xiaomei is not afraid. Few of the millions of items in Panjiayuan are open to generation, and it is a blessing to be able to find one when you go out.
"Today, even if you turn the Pan family upside down, you have to find a suitable gift." Qin Xuebing quickened his pace, there were many antique shops on the side of the road that could cause vitality induction, but his current target was indeed an antique stall.
Qin Xuebing's efficiency is extremely amazing, he doesn't need to go to the antique stalls at all, he just needs to walk all the way down the street to loot. Under such a premise, as long as there are antiques in the places you pass by, it is impossible to escape the eyes of the law.
After walking a few hundred meters, Qin Xuebing stopped and squatted down in front of a stall. casually flipped through it, but from time to time his eyes glanced at the vase held in the hand of a fat middle-aged man next to him, and muttered: "Damn fatty, this vase is not for you." ”
It is a double-linked vase, like two vases put together, implying a hundred years of good union. Even if the development of porcelain entered its peak in the Qianlong period, various works emerged in an endless stream, and it is not surprising that any style appeared, and this kind of diptych porcelain is one of them.
However, the vase in the hand of this fat man is not from the Qianlong period, Qin Xuebing glanced at it a few times. From the perspective of fetal quality, it should be a folk song work of the Daoguang period, but it is definitely a fine folk song, with a value of hundreds of thousands.
"Boss, what is the price of this vase?"
The obese middle-aged man asked. Qin Xuebing couldn't help but be disappointed, regardless of whether the other party saw that this was an old object. But since he opened his mouth, it proves that he has the idea of buying it.
However, Qin Xuebing was not in a hurry to leave, and continued to open the objects on the stall, while listening to their bargaining, looking forward to talking.
"Strange, how can this bowl have a lid? How can these basins also have lids? ”
There are no objects on the stall that can arouse vitality except for the double-linked vase, but there are a lot of porcelain that make Qin Xuebing feel strange. There are many types of porcelain, and almost all kinds of daily necessities are rich, even including spoons, but almost every piece of the spoon has a lid, which makes people feel very strange.
Qin Xuebing picked up one of them, looked at the bottom paragraph, and used blue paint to write four words in a seal: Jingdezhen system.
At this time, the obese middle-aged man had already negotiated the price with the stall owner, spent 5,000 yuan, and left happily, which made Qin Xuebing disappointed for a while.
"Boss, what's the price of these items?" Qin Xuebing pointed to these porcelain pieces with lids and asked.
"Brother, these things are in sets, there are two sets in total, each set of 100,000." Boss Tan pointed to the porcelain on the stall, and then pointed to the large cardboard box he was sitting in, obviously, there was another set under his buttocks.
"Boss, the workmanship of these objects is very good, but at a glance, you know that they are not old objects, and 100,000 yuan is too expensive, right?" The corners of Qin Xuebing's mouth twitched slightly, not because the price was too high, but because the stall owner actually used porcelain as a chair, and he was not afraid of thunder and thunder.
"To be honest, these porcelains can't blind people, but they are definitely fine products produced in Jingdezhen, and they can be sold at a high price wherever they are obtained. The stall owner said resolutely.
"Boss, I really want it, it's cheaper, I want both sets." Qin Xuebing didn't believe his nonsense, if he really felt precious, how could he sit on it.
"You want both sets, that's it, I'll count you cheaper, 180,000." The stall owner's eyes lit up, these two sets of porcelain were left by his grandfather in his early years, and they had been kept in the old house.
"180,000, it's still a little expensive, but it's worth it when you meet something you like, does the boss want to transfer money or check?" Qin Xuebing knew that it would definitely be cheaper if he continued to bargain, but there were many characters today, and he didn't want to waste too much time here.
"Let's transfer it." The stall owner said, and handed Qin Xuebing a note by the way, which was the bank card number.
Qin Xuebing immediately called to transfer the money, and then asked the stall owner to pack the things, but it was difficult, a set of porcelain has twenty-four varieties, a total of nearly 100 pieces, can fit a large box, it is really difficult to carry.
In desperation, Qin Xuebing could only call Qian Beibei, and soon Qian Beibei found four workers and pushed two small carts: "What good things did you find again?" ”
"Two sets of porcelain, not old objects, but the craftsmanship is very good, pull them to your store and put them in your store first." Qin Xuebing was not at ease, so he personally escorted the things to the Sifang Pavilion before continuing to Taobao.
"This item, he can see ordinary porcelain?"
Qian Beibei naturally didn't believe Qin Xuebing's nonsense, opened one of the boxes, took out one of them and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help frowning: "It can't be those things, right?" It's also a set, this guy's shit luck is against the sky. ”
"Boss, how much does this thing cost?" Ouyang Xiaomei felt that her luck today was really good, and she didn't go long before she ran into another piece of jade.
From the stylistic point of view, it should be a work of the early Ming Dynasty, and it did not form a unique style of the Ming Dynasty, and a strong Yuan Dynasty style remains. Judging from the carving, it should be a Suzhou worker, but it is not a master's handwriting, and there is no payment.
However, a few times, this is also a piece of ancient jade, and the color is suddenly natural, adding a bit of beauty out of thin air.
After some bargaining, in the end, Ouyang Xiaomei took this jade pendant for two thousand yuan, and looked at Ouyang Zhanjun proudly: "Third brother, I heard that those two parrots can not only talk, sing, but also dance, and take them home to raise, it must be very interesting." ”
"You'd better get ready for dinner." Ouyang Zhanjun is not optimistic about his little sister anyway.
"If I lose, you'll have to pay for it."
Ouyang Xiaomei snorted, and by the way, she tested the Nine Yin White Bone Claws on Ouyang Zhanjun's body, which made Ouyang Zhanjun scream again and again: "Our little sister has won the true inheritance of the old man, her eyes are like torches, and her eyes are like watching fire, how can Qin Xuebing's kid compare to our little sister, we will bring those two parrots back at night." ”
"Boss, what's the price of this pen holder?" Qin Xuebing's efficiency was very fast, and he soon found a pen holder.
The pen holder is more than 20 centimeters high and 178 centimeters in diameter, and is made of small-leaved red sandalwood.
The understanding and use of rosewood in ancient China began at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty. Cui Bao's "Ancient and Modern Notes" has a record, when it was called "red sandalwood, out of the south, purple color, also known as red sandalwood". It was not until the Ming Dynasty that it began to be valued by the royal family.
However, red sandalwood is very rare and grows slowly, with a maximum diameter of only 20 centimeters, which shows that the material of this pen holder is precious.
According to historical records, as of the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the vast majority of the red sandalwood produced in the world at that time was gathered in China. The red sandalwood used in the Qing Dynasty was all picked by the Ming Dynasty, there are historical records, the Qing Dynasty also sent people to Nanyang to pick the red sandalwood, but most of them are not thick and do not hold, and the music is not straight and can not be used.
This is because the red sandalwood grows slowly, it can not be grown for hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty was cut down, the Qing Dynasty has not been resurrected, and the source is exhausted, which is also an important reason why the red sandalwood is cherished by the world.
Westerners such as Europe, the United States and the United States attach more importance to rosewood than China, because they have never seen red sandalwood and think that it can only be used as a small utensil. It is rumored that there is a five-inch-long model of a rosewood coffin in front of Napoleon's tomb, and visitors are amazed and thought it is rare. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that Western missionaries came to China and saw many red sandalwood vessels, and they knew that the red sandalwood elite were all in China. So he bought it from many parties and transported it back to China. The red sandalwood artifacts that are now circulating in Europe and the United States are basically shipped from China.
Of course, the material is only one of them, for wood carving works, the carver is the most important, without a good carver, no matter how good the material is, it is blind, and even the value of the material is damaged.
The red sandalwood carving pen holder uses the shallow carving of the first presentation of the seven sages of the bamboo forest, the characters, the bamboo forest is perfectly displayed, and what is more rare is that the carving author knows the story of the seven sages of the bamboo forest, and actually shows the political thoughts and life attitude of the seven sages of the bamboo forest well through the image of the characters.
Qin Xuebing can conclude that this is definitely a master's handwriting, and it is impossible for ordinary wood carvers to express the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest so expressively.
