"Hmmm! Let me show you a few of the best treasures first! I'll have to take it and hide it after that. We'll appreciate the rest slowly, anyway, there's no hurry. Although Lin Kun said that he was not in a hurry, his face was full of anxiety.

Everyone else knew what he was thinking, so they nodded, and they wanted to see the best first.

There are a total of eight of Lin Kun's best antiques, and each of them is more than 10 million. Two of them are jade, an ancient painting, four porcelain, and one bronze.

The first thing he took everyone to see was a jade ornament, which was a rectangular jade plaque. Fifty centimeters long and twenty centimeters wide, it is also a large ornament. I saw that the top was colorful, the carving was very complicated and detailed, there were mountains, rivers, clouds and sun.

Hong Tianbao found that this ornament is only one or two hundred years old, and it is still a jade ornament. Looking at the above content, he is almost certain of the origin of this ornament.

"Huh! I'm sure you've guessed the origin of this ornament, right? Lin Kun looked at Hong Tianbao's expression, and immediately understood, Hong Tianbao made it clear.

"Isn't this going to be 'great mountains and rivers'?" Even Xia Xiaofeng had some guesses.

"Hmmm! Not bad, but do you know its story? Lin Kun asked with a smile.

"I only know that it was once the favorite thing of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the rest is unknown." Xia Xiaofeng is not a person who doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and he doesn't know what he knows.

"This seems to be the best jade! Odd! I think it looks like it's carved out of a piece of jadeite, how can there be such a colorful jadeite. Xu Haocai jadeite could recognize it, and he could see that this was carved out of a whole piece of jadeite, and those parts of different colors were definitely not inlaid on it, anyway, he couldn't see the traces of splicing.

"Haocai, then you only know one and don't know the other. There are no wonders in the world, jadeite comes in various colors, and there are also colorful. It's just that colorful jadeite is more rare, and the conditions for their formation are more harsh. Lin Kun explained.

This kind of colorful jadeite Hong Tianbao has heard of it, but it is the first time I have seen it.

"It is said that Cixi loved jadeite, and the frontier specially paid tribute to a piece of superb jadeite. What everyone didn't expect was that this piece of jadeite was actually a colorful jadeite. When Cixi saw it, she fell in love with this beautiful jadeite, and she immediately ordered all the jade carvers in the court to carve it.

Those court carvers were embarrassed and had no idea where to start, and it was the first time they had seen such a colorful jadeite. But they still have to carve it well, this is the order of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and if you don't do it well, you will be beheaded.

A group of people thought about it, and in the end, an old-timer woke up and simply used these colors to paint a picture. So, after many people's design and carving, this 'great mountains and rivers' was finally carved.

When Cixi saw it, she immediately admired it, and once regarded this beautiful mountain and river as her favorite jade ornament. Later, I heard that it was given to a prince and prince, but I didn't expect it to end up in the hands of my uncle. ”

Hong Tianbao poured out what he knew.

"That's right, the story of the great mountains and rivers is basically like this." Uncle Gu stroked his beard and smiled, obviously satisfied with Hong Tianbao's description.

Everyone admired it carefully, and Lin Kun led everyone to continue to look at the next treasure.

This treasure is also a piece of jade, which is a square seal. The square seal is not large, only half the size of a palm, square and has a lion carved on it.

Hong Tianbao found that this square seal was actually carved from the best Huangtian jade, just like his jade cow. This piece of jade alone is enough to make this square seal a first-class treasure, no wonder Lin Kun would treat it as a treasure.

"What is the name of this square seal?" Xia Xiaofeng couldn't help asking.

"Huh! Its name is not small. The biggest corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty knows, right? Uncle Gu smiled slightly.

"Senior Brother Xu, is the biggest corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty He Shen?" Xia Xiaofeng suddenly asked secretly.

"I said, how did you study before?" Xu Haocai glanced at him, but in fact, he was not too sure. He Shen knows him, in the antique world, there are few people who don't know this person, because he left too many antiques. I also know that this person is indeed a big corrupt official, but he is not the biggest corrupt official, so I don't know.

He turned his head and secretly asked Hong Tianbao: "Is it Heshen?" ”

Hong Tianbao gave him a blank look, this guy didn't know that he was still so loud when he scolded just now.

"Nonsense! I am afraid that the biggest corrupt official in history is none other than him. ”

This square seal was Heshen's favorite personal seal at that time. In addition, it is carved from the best Huangtian jade, which is even more precious. Before, many people wanted to ask your uncle for this seal, but the other party gave out 30 million, and your uncle was stunned that he didn't give it away. Uncle Gu continued to explain.

"Thirty million?" Xia Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, the things that can be caught with one hand are actually 30 million, and they are not sold.

Even Xu Haocai, who has been in the mix for many years, was secretly surprised, he hadn't seen tens of millions of treasures. The final finale of their auction is basically over 10 million. But it's only one or two million, and rarely more than twenty million.

Hong Tianbao is the calmest, his previous jade cicadas were tens of millions, and the two jade carvings were far more than 30 million.

Next, Lin Kun let everyone look at an ancient painting. This is an ink painting, with delicate and circular workmanship. When everyone saw the payment, they were secretly shocked, no wonder it was worth it.

This is Qiu Ying's magnum opus: "Pine Creek on Painting", which is also one of his few surviving works.

Qiu Ying's fame is very great, and compared to He Shen, he is not much more reckless. Good at painting people, especially long ladies, both work and color, but also good at ink and white, can use a variety of brushwork to express different objects, or round and beautiful, or strong and glamorous. Occasional flowers and birds, but also bright and beautiful. Together with Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Tang Yin, they are known as the "Ming Four Families".

"Compared with Qiu Ying and Tang Bohu, who will be more powerful." Xia Xiaofeng surprisingly didn't ask the price.

"To each his own! There are also differences in the fields he is good at, but in general, Tang Bohu will be more famous. He is not only the four Ming families, but also the four great talents in Jiangnan, which is not comparable to Qiu Ying. Uncle Gu pondered for a while before answering Xia Xiaofeng's question.

"Take a good look! This is not your master's heavy weapon, you will have insight in a while. Uncle Gu continued.

"Huh! Let's go over and have a look! Lin Kun led everyone to the porcelain area, where there are more than 200 pieces of porcelain, all of which are plates, bowls, pots, and jars, which are very spectacular.

Lin Kun carefully took out a celestial ball bottle, and guessed from his movements that this should be his heavy weapon.

This Tianqiu bottle is not only known to Hong Tianbao, but even Xia Xiaofeng and Xu Haocai, which shows how precious this treasure is. This is the Qianlong pastel yellow glaze peacock pattern celestial ball bottle, the name is very long, but it does not affect everyone's memory of it at all.

Qianlong pastel yellow glaze peacock pattern celestial globe bottle, turquoise green glaze on the inside and bottom of the mouth. The turquoise green glaze is light and shiny, and the glaze is like porridge skin. The glaze often has fine grains, which is a typical feature of the Qianlong official kiln.

The mouth of the celestial sphere bottle is painted with gold, and the gold is deep. The theme decoration is peony peacock pattern and old pine. The pine tree painting method is a typical iron line drawing in the Qianlong period. The back is filled with a poem with yellow glaze and black color. The device is large and circumferential, and the tire is thick and heavy.

"This thing must be worth a lot of money!" Xia Xiaofeng swallowed.

"At least fifty million!" This time it was Xu Haocai who answered, he worked in an auction house, and he had a general understanding of the prices in the industry.

Let's take a look at a pen wash, this pen wash is actually a brother kiln porcelain pen wash. Porcelain pen washing is not uncommon, but the brother kiln is rare, and the brother kiln is scarce, so you can see how precious this pen wash is.

I saw that it is 4.4 cm high and 0.5 cm thick, small and exquisite, elegant and cute. Dark gray tires, blue-gray glaze, with exquisite stripes all around.

Speaking of pen washing, we have to talk about its background again.

Pen washing is a utensil used to hold water to wash brushes, and it is an indispensable utensil for ancient Chinese people when writing and painting. There are many types of pen washes, including porcelain pen washes, jade pen washes, ivory pen washes and rhino horn washes, etc., the most common of which is porcelain pen wash.

The shape of the pen wash is mostly oblate and round, but there are also rectangular, flowery and leaf-shaped shapes. In terms of decoration, there are single glaze colors, there are also blue and white pastels, painted with a variety of patterns, exquisite and elegant, both practical, and can be played. In particular, the porcelain pen wash produced by the kiln is a fine product of the same kind.

"Strange, why do I think there are similarities between pen washing and inkstone, the ancients were troublesome, and you have to make two pieces of the same thing, is it fun?" Xia Xiaofeng used to think that pen washing was an inkstone, they were one thing, just different names. But since I learned antiques with Uncle Gu, I found out that this is not the case.

"You know the! How can it be the same? It's that you can't turn around in your own heart, and you can't accept it. Pen washing is used to wash the pen, inkstone is used to grind ink, completely different, how to you that is the same. Uncle Gu reprimanded him.

"Forget it, let's look at the next one!" Xia Xiaofeng still couldn't turn the corner.

"Okay, let's take a look at two pieces, these are two Yongle blue and white jade pot spring bottles. They are a set. Lin Kun held another set of porcelain.

There are many kinds of porcelain in China, but if you want to ask which kind of porcelain is the most famous, it must be blue and white porcelain. It is not that blue and white porcelain is the most expensive, but that blue and white porcelain has been produced from the Tang Dynasty to modern times, and the longest history of more than ten kinds of porcelain is known to the masses.

But when it comes to representing the highest level of blue and white porcelain, you have to count the blue and white porcelain during the Xuande and Yongle periods.

Yongle blue and white are dignified and beautiful, and the lines of the utensils are very soft and smooth. Pay attention to tire repair, and the shape of the instrument is very regular. Due to the attention to the refining of the porcelain fetus, the fetus is pure, contains less impurities, the fetal quality is delicate, the tire color is white, the carcass thickness is moderate, dexterous and dignified, and it is generally light and thin compared to the Hongwu Dynasty.

The last thing I saw was a four-dragon town Tianding, which was not big, half a meter to the square, and four dragons guarded the four directions. This thing is older, it is an antiquity of the Shang Dynasty, and it seems that it is still exclusive to the royal family.

At that time, the tripod represented power, and the bronze tripod appeared in two places. One is royal, and the second is the temple. One represents imperial power and the other represents divine power.

Hong Tianbao thought secretly: These eight treasures, sure enough, are not simple! Hong Tianbao roughly calculated the sum of these prices, not that he didn't know, but he was shocked, Lin Kun's treasures were worth at least more than one billion. Sure enough, people who can afford to play with antiques are either rich or expensive.
