Chapter 1127: Treasures of the Nation [4]
Half an hour later, Liu Yuhao hurriedly left with the Jianyao oil drip cup and the seemingly black thing.
According to the agreement, the remaining silver fetal painted lady riding figurines, the Shang Dynasty white jade bird, a set of 12 pieces of glazed costume character wall decorations, the Spring and Autumn inscription sword, the Yuan Dynasty rubbing's Yanshu Yuanci Mountain Monument, the Warring States Celadon Yong Bell and the Ming Dynasty White Porcelain Basket Guanyin Seven antiques will be officially handed over at the donation ceremony three days later.
"Oh, dear sir, I was so worried that the young man from the Orient would have his eye on my Picasso manuscript and the precious Leonardo da Vinci self-portrait."
Looking at the back of Liu Yuhao, who had been far away, Charlie breathed a long sigh of relief, and the thousand catties of boulder hanging high in his heart also fell with the disappearance of the footsteps.
The old man's eyes were deep, his expression was complicated, he shook his head almost imperceptibly, sighed in response, and said, "Your Royal Highness, Dear Crown Prince, you really shouldn't have promised Mr. Liu to let him take that city wall brick. ”
"Sir, do you think there is anything wrong?"
probably felt that Charlie's heart was a lot more relaxed when he sent away Liu Yuhao's plague god, so he showed an indifferent look on his face.
In Cha Ideal, isn't it just a city wall brick from the ancient East, take it away, take it away, what's the pity?
The old man frowned, his expression became more complicated, and he shook his head and asked, "Your Highness, do you think Mr. Liu is an antique expert?" ”
"Well, according to the information sent by Halls, that Mr. Liu is a very good jewelry merchant, and he is also a very talented expert in ancient jade."
Charlie craned his neck and drank the wine in his hand.
"So, that Mr. Liu should be very rich, right?" The old man asked.
Charlie nodded and said, "So to speak, but sir, does this have anything to do with the fact that he is going to take away an ancient city wall brick?" ”
The old man smiled bitterly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Your Royal Highness, there is one thing I can't figure out until now. ”
"What's the matter, sir?"
Charlie smiled lightly, and casually shook the sparkling long-necked crystal glass in his hand, and the amber red wine hung on the wall of the glass, overflowing with fragrance.
"Would you like a drink, sir?"
Charlie didn't realize the meaning of the old man's words, took a sip, took a sip, put the incomparably sweet wine slurry in his tongue, slowly melted on the tip of his tongue, lightly teased the taste buds, swallowed slowly, sweet and sweet
The recognition and appreciation of red wine is a noble endowment.
Few endowments have such a profound influence and intoxication, and like music, painting and other artistic activities, red wine is also a way to show the beauty of life, a kind of elegant charm and charm. And as an aristocrat, wine appreciation is one of Charlie's compulsory homework.
The old man waved his hand, he was not in the mood to experience that kind of sweet and delicious taste now, "Your Royal Highness, if you were Mr. Liu, who would you choose between Picasso's manuscript and the bricks of the city wall?" ”
"Ugh"
Charlie was stunned, his eyes widened, and the rosy juice slowly spilled out along the walls of the glass, revealing a charming luster like clotted cream, but he didn't realize it and let it flow.
The old man solemnly told Charlie the history of the city wall bricks.
In the Xia and Shang periods of China, there have been rammed earth city walls; After the Tang Dynasty, there were gradually examples of brick-clad rammed earth walls; In the Ming Dynasty, the production of bricks increased, and brick-clad rammed earth walls were popularized.
From the appearance analysis, the old man thought that the city wall bricks taken away by Liu Yuhao were the best materials, called Cheng mortar bricks, but what puzzled the old man was that the size of Huaxia Cheng mortar bricks was 48 cm long, 24 cm wide, 12 cm thick, and each piece weighed 24 kg.
But just now, the old man saw that the city wall brick in Liu Yuhao's hand was much smaller than the Chinese-style "concrete" he knew in his mind.
Why is that?
In this world, there are very few real fools.
Just now, Charlie was completely immersed in the excitement of getting the Sun King's Battle Helmet, so when Liu Yuhao proposed that he had to take those two antiques with him today, he nodded and agreed without thinking, and now after the old man's explanation, he was suddenly stunned.
Think about it, will a shark go crazy before it smells blood?
The old man had a headache and turned away silently, but he had a very strong premonition that in the near future, there would be an amazing event in the history of the world's cultural relics.
Old Man Kong was full of praise and stroked the oil drop cup in his hand, "The carcass is heavy, the tire color is black, Yu Hao, I'm afraid that the Tianmu porcelain in Xiao Japan's hand can't reach the level of this piece." ”
Recorded in the early 16th century, the "Juntaiguan Left and Right Accounts" divides the treasures of Jianzhan into several levels, among which "Yao Change" is listed as "the supreme divine product of Jianzhan and something that is not available in the world".
The so-called "Yao Change" is the gathering of many irregular dots on the black glaze, the dots are yellow, and the surrounding area glows with a dazzling rainbow-like light mainly blue, hence the name.
Like the old man Kong's hand of the building lamp is widely spread on the inner wall of the building lamp, and changes with the movement of the direction of viewing, it is blue when viewed vertically, and it is indeed difficult to see the fine product that flashes gold when obliquely looking, no wonder the old man has fallen in love with it at first sight.
Liu Yuhao smiled faintly and said: "The Song Dynasty Jianzhan was fired in the dragon kiln, and its firing difficulty can be reflected from the firing probability, and the firing probability of the silver rabbit is much smaller than that of the brown rabbit; The oil droplets are smaller, estimated to be no more than 1 in 10,000; And this transformation is as difficult as a mirage. ”
"That's why I've always said that you're so lucky, I don't know how to describe it."
Old Man Kong squinted his eyes, took a magnifying glass and watched intently on the building lamp to observe the law of bubbles, and his tone of voice carried a strong sourness and envy.
As we all know, the most critical part of archaeological support is ancient documents and surviving ancient artifacts.
But like the Jianzhan in the hands of Mr. Kong, the survival is very rare, and it is impossible for Little Japan to be willing to take out the Jianzhan in his hand to share with everyone, so the old man seized the opportunity to appreciate it at one time.
Liu Yuhao didn't look back, his eyes never left the small and delicate city wall brick in his hand, and said, "Old man, don't mess with that thing first, come over and help me palm my eyes." ”
"Just that?"
Old Man Kong lifted the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, shook his head and sneered: "That thing doesn't have tens of millions in China, but also millions of dollars, what kind of eyes?" You actually treat it as a treasure, I don't know what you think. ”
Since he came back, Liu Yuhao has been stuck in the study, and even the meal was sent by Xiao Nizi, and the old man Kong thought that Liu Yuhao had got some kind of treasure, but he trotted all the way to take a look, and he was almost so angry that Liu Yuhao was beaten.
Especially after hearing Zhou Xi say that the city wall brick was one of the exchange items that Liu Yuhao promised Charlie, the old man ignored him again, in order to express his dissatisfaction.
What the hell, Baba brought back a piece of broken head from abroad?
Isn't this looking for someone to scold?
Liu Yuhao smiled faintly and ignored Old Man Kong's complaints, put the brick under his nose and smelled it, and said to himself: "This brick is very strange, how can there be a miasma?" ”
"Huh? Impossible, right? ”
Old Man Kong was stunned for a moment, raised his head in surprise and glanced at Liu Yuhao.
The so-called fragrant miasma, in fact, refers to a special stale taste in the ancient tombs, generally speaking, the cultural relics unearthed in the pit have a lot of earthy smell and fragrant miasma, familiar antique experts can smell that special smell from afar.
But Liu Yuhao is holding a city wall brick in his hand, not a tomb brick, how can there be a miasma?
Old Man Kong joked and said, "Didn't you kid also slap the eye?" That wall brick can't be a special imitation of Charlie to tease you. ”
Liu Yuhao laughed and said, "Old man, when it comes to antique dealers counterfeiting, in addition to ancient jade and porcelain, the hottest fake cultural relics are the Xuande furnace." This kind of bronze art, which has been imitated since the day it was created, really makes collectors think about it with great pain, and the result is often a lot of eye-catching. ”
Old Man Kong put down the Jianzhan in his hand and said with a smile: "The climax of the counterfeiting of the Xuande furnace appeared in the Wanli period, and the imitations made by Gan Wentang in Nanjing and Zhou Wenfu in Suzhou were only one level different from the real Xuande furnace, but they were sold out at that time, and there were different imitations in different periods in the future. ”
Liu Yuhao nodded and said, "Now the so-called payment on the stall is from the Xuande furnace, almost ten furnaces and ten fakes. Fortunately, due to the complexity of the process, the general counterfeiters are not accurate in their understanding and grasp of cultural relics, and it is easy to see the flaws in the fake bronze. Even so, there will still be a large number of counterfeiters who will take risks for profiteering. In addition to the Xuande furnace, imitation of the Japanese pseudo-period of spears, ancient Dinghejue and so on are not uncommon. ”
"I heard that your kid has a genuine Xuande furnace?"
Old Man Kong became interested, stood up and walked to Liu Yuhao's side and said with a smile.
Liu Yuhao shook his head, smiled and told the story of how he got the Xuande furnace to the old man Kong again, causing the old man to sigh again, and sighed: "Collecting is a science that needs to be accumulated over the years, and collectors have a peaceful state of mind, so that they don't fall into the strange circle of collecting for selling, don't think that you can really pick up leaks when you get to the ghost market." ”
Most people who are engaged in antiques know that there is a ghost market in Panjiayuan, the capital!
What is a ghost market? At five o'clock on Saturday morning, when many people were still asleep, the antique markets in some big cities were already crowded, and the sky was just numb and bright, and there were already people looking for treasures between the stalls with flashlights.
Of course, insiders hunt for treasures, laymen look at the excitement, or come to be deceived, there are indeed insiders who have found good things and made a deal, he holds his favorite antiques, and leaves the scene happily.
Liu Yuhao squinted his eyes and smiled, he didn't care what Old Man Kong was saying just now, the blade in his hand was slightly forced, and he only heard a "pop" sound, and the wall tiles cracked in half.
"Ah, this?"
Old Man Kong's eyes were dumbfounded like copper bells.
