As for how this clock came out of the Qing court, Jin Muchen guessed that it should be the source of the boss who sold him this clock, the noble man in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Jin Muchen waved his hand and put this clock into the purple jade space with him, then took out the computer and began to look for historical information about the period in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties on the Internet.

In fact, he also studied the history of this period earlier, because the history of this period is a compulsory course for almost every antique dealer, and it is during that period of war that many palace collections will be reduced to the people.

So only by reading this history intensively can you find out the origin of many artifacts and antiques, as well as infer the experience behind it.

Regarding the noble man in the boss's mouth, he vaguely had an impression, but because it had been a long time, he was not sure.

After looking up information about that person on the Internet, he couldn't help but slap his thigh, and now it was finally right.

Prince Gong Pu Wei!

Prince Gong of Lao Gong? The grandson, the cousin of the last emperor Puyi, was born in the capital in the sixth year of Guangxu, that is, in 1880.

Look at the historical resume of this grandson, this grandson is still the hardcore of the Qing Dynasty, and later during the Republic of China, he was also a staunch restorationist, when the Qing Emperor abdicated, he actually openly refused to sign the abdication edict, and even after Pu Yi signed the abdication, this grandson actually openly shouted: "With my Pu Wei, the Qing Dynasty will not die!" Arrogant words.

Later, after Pu Yi abdicated, he first took refuge in the Jietai Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, at the end of the same year. Tossed and turned to the city of Blue Bird.

During the city of Blue Bird. It doesn't stop. He successively contacted Liu Tingchen, Hu Siyi, Yu Shimei, Chen Yizhong, Hu Sijing, Lao Naixuan, Wang Baotian, Wen Su and other Qing Dynasty relics in Qingniao and other places, and they have been running for restoration, but the result is, of course, crushed by the wheel of history.

In 1914, World War I broke out, the Japanese took the opportunity to seize the city of Blue Bird from the Germans, this guy was even more colluded with the Japanese, planning to raise an incident in southern Liaoning, but unfortunately Yuan Shikai died violently in 1916, Japan had to adjust its foreign policy towards China, which made his dream of restoration fall through again.

1922 year. Before the government of the Republic of China took back Jade Bird City, he could only dismiss his family in a gloomy manner, and Jade Bird, who left with only a few belongings, went to Bincheng.

With such a-stirring stick-like historical figure, then the origin of this grandfather clock can be clearly explained.

You must know that the fine copper-gilt enamel painted table clock made by Lidheng was specially paid to the royal family, and ordinary people could not afford it.

And each grandfather clock is made by professional craftsmen, carefully handmade, and the annual output is only three or five models. Once it is made, it will immediately enter the capital.

Even if the princes and nobles want to get involved. It's not that easy.

However, in the late Qing Dynasty, the dynastic system collapsed, especially after the death of Emperor Xianfeng, Cixi and the then Prince Gong launched a coup d'état.

In the early stage without the iron-clad support of Li Hongzhang, the Empress Dowager Cixi was very reverent of Prince Gong at that time? , in order to envelop him, but never hesitate to reward.

At that time, this original emperor's grandfather clock may have been given to Yi by Cixi at that time, and finally brought to the blue bird by his grandson.

In the end, because the government of the Republic of China wanted to take back the city of Jade Bird, Pu Wei could only flee to Bincheng, which was controlled by the Japanese, and finally this table clock was left here.

I didn't expect that more than 100 years later, this grandfather clock would fall into my hands.

Presumably, the shopkeeper's grandfather probably also knew the origin of this grandfather clock, so he kept telling his family to pass on this clock as a family heirloom.

It's a pity that in the hands of his loser grandson, this boss has no knowledge and no skills, and he has entered the antique industry halfway and knows nothing.

In addition, this guy is still a gambler who plays stocks, and he has the taboo of all stock market gamblers, so he is in a hurry to dispose of this clock, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for this bell to fall into his hands at such a low price.

This bell looks at the shape, it should be a fine clock produced in Yangcheng in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, and the condition is well preserved, according to the current market price estimate.

Even if it is not as good as the Qianlong Imperial Table Clock that he won from Zangbao Zhai before, there is a clear record, but the price will not be too low, at least the starting price should be more than 50 million, and the transaction price is between 80 million and 100 million.

So this time, I can be regarded as picking up a big leak.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen couldn't help but feel an irrepressible burst of ecstasy, there were not many good things he received in the United States some time ago, and he thought that his good luck had been exhausted, but he didn't expect that when he returned to China, his luck actually came back.

This trip to Jade Bird City is really not in vain, it seems that we should make persistent efforts in the past two days, go and take a good look, maybe you can still pick up some good things.

A big leak in the morning made Jin Muchen satisfied, and he was not out in the afternoon.

Candace slept until late in the evening, then woke up, and when she woke up, Jin Muchen just asked the hotel to bring some dinner.

Pushing the dining cart into the room, watching Candace sit on the bed with infinite satisfaction and lazy style, Jin Muchen's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

If it weren't for the fact that Candace had not fully recovered due to the new rain and dew, I am afraid that he would have to transform into a werewolf again at this time.

The two of them finished dinner, and then went downstairs for a walk, blew the sea breeze on the beach, and then found a barbecue stall and had a seafood barbecue supper, and then slowly returned to the hotel.

Early the next morning, Candace, who was 100% energetic, accompanied Jin Muchen out of the hotel and set off again to Changle Road Market.

With the experience of picking treasures yesterday, Jin Muchen is no longer in a hurry today, and today is mainly to accompany Candace to go shopping.

Because in order to avoid the harassment of those Tibetan friends and auction houses in the capital, Candace failed to visit the famous Pan home in the capital, but she didn't think that this regret was actually made up for by the blue bird.

Although the market here is not as big as Panjiayuan, it is also full of everything, and it also has strong local characteristics.

Especially those open-air stalls, it makes Candace have the feeling that he used to accompany Jin Muchen to several antique markets in New York to sweep the stalls.

It's just that the things sold here are all special, different from the market in New York, and all the antiques sold here are absolutely Chinese-style.

Although she can't tell whether it's true or not, with an expert like Jin Muchen by her side, she doesn't worry about being deceived.

Jin Muchen helped Candace pick out a lot of gadgets that girls like, such as some Nanhong bracelets, or Xiao Ye Tan's bracelets, women are born with little resistance to these jewelry.

However, compared to those wooden skewers, Candace was obviously more interested in all kinds of stone skewers, and finally Jin Muchen helped her choose a string of beeswax bracelets that were complete and very beautiful, which finally made this crazy girl stop.

It was a morning to walk, and the two were a little tired from shopping, so they found a small restaurant with clean decoration nearby for lunch, and then continued to walk in the afternoon.

Soon Jin Muchen helped Candace buy a string of agarwood bracelets, although this string is of wood quality, but Candace likes it more, because the smell of agarwood is very good, and women also have little resistance to such a fragrant thing.

After walking for a while, Jin Muchen's body was already full of bags, which were all Candace's own trophies, which she picked out and planned to take back to the United States as gifts for relatives and friends.

Jin Muchen could only follow her wordlessly, doing a good job of his role as a little bagbag, a man and a woman, rare and handsome, and the beauty of women has also become a beautiful scenery in the market.

After walking for a while, Jin Muchen's self-proclaimed super body felt exhausted, but Candace was still shopping with relish.

There are more than 400 stalls in the whole market, and she seems to be eager to take a few glances at each stall and buy something at each stall.

Jin Muchen even had the heart to die, and just when he felt that his body was about to run out, he suddenly saw a flash of white light on an antique stall selling porcelain in front of him.

When his original body was exhausted, he felt that he was immediately resurrected with full blood on the spot, and he didn't care about Candace, who was bargaining with a stall owner, so he ran to which stall and where.

This is a stall specializing in selling porcelain, and it can be seen that the stall owner is quite careful about the layout of his stall, and he does not want other stalls to spread a layer of cloth on the ground, he spreads a layer of foam puzzle for children to play under his stall, so that his stall will be much safer, even if the porcelain falls down, it will not be broken immediately.

Above the panel is a simple shelf, divided into three levels, staggered back and forth like seats in a stadium, and a number of porcelain are placed on each layer.

Jin Muchen glanced at it, these porcelains are displayed in this stall, and they are really fine porcelain, not much, only a few pieces on the top, which should be cups, dishes, plates and dishes in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, but they should also be fine products of folk kilns, and the estimated value is tens of thousands of yuan.

The porcelain placed on the lower second shelf, although it looks relatively old, is obviously an old fake, while the third shelf is placed on some modern newly fired handicraft porcelain.

The white light that really attracted him was the porcelain that was piled up in a pile of cups and plates at the bottom of the shelves.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, with the shrewdness that most of the money strings in the antique market should have, and when he saw Jin Muchen stopping, he immediately greeted him with a smile. (To be continued......)
