Chapter 129: Treasures Gifted
Not long after seeing Shui Bingling, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao got into a taxi with her and rushed straight to her house to identify antiques.
Shui Bingling's house was not very far from the hotel where Yi Yang and the others were staying, and they arrived at their destination in less than half an hour.
They came to an upscale neighborhood with a very luxurious apartment building, and Shui Bingling lived in one of them.
After a while, Shui Bingling took Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao to the floor where she lived and invited them in.
The room is spacious and bright, tidy and tidy, but the decoration is relatively simple, and the furniture is very little, as if there are not many people living in it.
At first, Yi Yang thought that Shui Bingling was living with her family, and he was going to buy some gifts before coming, after all, it was the first time he came to someone's house as a guest, so he naturally had to bring some gifts, but when he was going to drive to the mall to buy it, Shui Bingling politely refused, saying not to bring any gifts, because she lived alone for the time being, and her parents and family were no longer in Beijing, and they had already gone abroad to live.
Therefore, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao came empty-handed, and they didn't want to be mentally prepared to meet Shui Bingling's family.
"You two please sit casually, and you're not welcome to me."
After entering the room, Shui Bingling greeted warmly, and then brought a pot of hot tea to Yi Yang and the others, and treated them to them.
While drinking tea, Yi Yang suddenly asked casually, "Miss Shui, have you collected antiques for a long time?" ”
Shui Bingling shook his head and replied: "No, I haven't been playing this for long, and I just have a little bit of things in my collection, because you know, I'm just a newcomer, and I don't have a good eye, so I can't see it accurately." ”
Yi Yang smiled and said: "You are modest, in fact, we are all the same, speaking of which, our collection may not be as much as yours." ”
He was telling the truth, because he had only been in the business for less than two months, so he could be said to be a pure newcomer, and as for collecting, he was just starting out, but he had the help of God's eyes and received a treasure of great value.
Although he hadn't seen Shui Bingling's collection yet, since the moment he walked in, Yi Yang had vaguely sensed a stream of aura, which came from an inner room, indicating that there were a lot of antiques in that room, at least some of those things were old for a certain period of time, and they were worth seeing.
After drinking the tea, Yi Yang said with a smile: "Miss Shui, what things need to be identified?" You show it to us, and we'll do our best to make sure for you. ”
He was a little impatient, because he felt a little curious in his heart, he didn't know what treasures Shui Bingling had collected, and he could sense that the aura seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Shui Bingling replied: "Mr. Yi, Mr. Bai, please go to my room to have a look, those things are there, since you are here, then you can show me together, so that I can completely put my mind at ease, and I don't have to doubt this and that." ”
"Well, that's fine." Yi Yang nodded without hesitation and said, "Then let's go in and take a look, it's not too early, it's better to finish reading it early." ”
As he spoke, he stood up, and Bai Wenchao also got up.
Shui Bingling said that, undoubtedly inviting them to visit her collection room, which would be more in line with Yi Yang's wishes, because only in this way could he have a deeper contact with the treasures that exuded aura, and maybe he could find something in Shui Bingling's collection room.
Then Shui Bingling enthusiastically took Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao into his room.
The moment he stepped on the threshold of the room, Yi Yang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, because at this moment he could clearly sense the oncoming aura, and at the same time, the golden thread hidden in his right eye became ready to move again, indicating that there was something in it that needed to be repaired or something that needed to be optimized.
"Wow, that's good!"
When he found all kinds of antiques on display in the room, Bai Wenchao couldn't help but exclaim and praised loudly.
"Not bad?" Shui Bingling said with a smile, "Most of these things are collected by myself everywhere, while some others are given to me or given to me by relatives and friends. ”
"It's pretty good." Yi Yang also praised and said, "It's a lot more than my collection." ”
Although the collection room is not a pile of antiques, there are quite a few, and the shelves are filled with all kinds of porcelain and jade, as well as other treasures such as gold, silver and bronze.
Although I haven't taken a closer look, my first impression is that the antiques presented in front of me are extraordinary, and most of them are genuine and good.
"I didn't expect Shui Bingling to collect so many good things!" Yi Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This situation really surprised him, he thought that Shui Bingling's collection was just a trivial collection, who knew that there were so many, and there were many of them.
"Wouldn't it? Is there more than you have in your collection? Shui Bingling said seriously, "I thought you were all big collectors, and there was a huge collection hall at home, and there were all kinds of treasures in the museum. ”
Yi Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Where?" You think so highly of us! We're just messing around in this business, how can we have so much money to make a big collection? ”
Bai Wenchao also said: "Brother Yi Yang is right, we don't have a collection of anything, and my collection is less than one-tenth of yours, and besides, Miss Shui, these things in your collection look quite open, and they should all be good." ”
"Oh, really?" Shui Bingling looked at Bai Wenchao with some surprise, then looked at Yi Yang again, and said solemnly, "But my eyesight is definitely not as good as yours, there are many things in here that I don't have much confidence in, I always feel that I bought the wrong one, and I have a look." So, please take a good look at me both of you, palm your eyes. ”
Yi Yang Haosheng agreed: "It's no problem, we will do our best." ”
After finishing speaking, they approached those antiques under the leadership of Shui Bingling, and as soon as they approached those dazzling collections, Yi Yang's right eye reacted even stronger.
And that golden thread is eager to try, wanting to get out of the eye.
But Yi Yang couldn't tell for a while which antique was damaged and needed to be repaired or optimized.
Shui Bingling first asked Yi Yang to identify a batch of ancient jade, those jades are very good, whether it is jade, or the carving is superior, the key is that those jade obviously exude a relatively strong aura, indicating that the thing is antique, old, which is beyond doubt for Yi Yang.
"Mr. Yi, is it possible that this piece of ancient jade is real?" Shui Bingling pointed to one of the pieces of jade with thick pulp and asked Yi Yang Dao seriously.
Yi Yang nodded without thinking about it, and said solemnly: "Of course it's possible!" These jade artifacts should be at a glance, which can be seen from the pulp. ”
Even if he didn't look at the pulp, he could be sure that since the thing exuded such a strong aura, it wasn't what Gu Yu was.
"Really? That's great! When he heard Yi Yang's affirmative words, Shui Bingling said in surprise and joy.
After reading and determining the batch of jade, Shui Bingling asked Yi Yang to identify a piece of porcelain, and Yi Yang found that one of the pieces of porcelain collected by Shui Bingling was a fine product from the official kiln and was worth a lot of money.
"Who the hell is this Shui Bingling?! It's all very good! At this point, Yi Yang was secretly puzzled, because he couldn't believe his eyes, an ordinary antique lover actually bought so many treasures from the market, each of which may be worth a lot of money, if it is put up for auction on the auction floor, the final transaction price is often millions, tens of millions.
From this point of view, Yi Yang always felt that Shui Bingling was a little mysterious, her identity background may not be as simple as she saw, otherwise how could she have so much money to collect, unless she bought it from an antique stall at a low price, but this possibility is too small and too small, and a master-level collector can't find so many big leaks, let alone a novice who has not dried up.
"Mr. Yi, how are these porcelains?" After Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao had almost appreciated it, Shui Bingling Fu asked again.
Yi Yang nodded vigorously and replied, "Very good, it's all good porcelain!" ”
He did not say this in the slightest flattery, but told the truth, because the batch of porcelain in front of him was indeed very good, at least in their eyes, impeccable.
"I also think it's all right, it's all fine porcelain." Bai Wenchao also nodded in approval, "Miss Shui, you must have spent a lot of money when you collected these porcelains, right?" This Qing Dynasty pastel bowl alone is estimated to be one million, I have seen almost the same one before, that bowl was auctioned for a sky-high price of eight million, I see that your quality is not much better, not as high as the price that was sold, it should not be lower than this price. ”
Shui Bingling replied: "It cost some money, and I asked a friend to buy the pastel bowl from an auction company, but it didn't cost eight million, it only cost six million." ”
"Six million is about the same." Bai Wenchao replied, "It is estimated that there were relatively few people competing at that time, otherwise it should be more than that price." ”
Shui Bingling nodded and said, "Maybe." Since you all think that this batch of porcelain is okay, then I am relieved. ”
She exhaled, a relaxed look on her face.
Later, Shui Bingling asked Yi Yang to identify some other collectibles, including bronzes and other items.
When inspecting a bronze artifact, Yi Yang finally found a problem, one of which did not exude any aura, indicating that the thing was not an antique, but a new imitation.
"Mr. Yi, how is this bronze?" Strangely, Shui Bingling pointed to the fake bronze and asked Yi Yang.
Yi Yang replied, "This bronze you said is not right. ”
"Isn't that right? Why? Hearing him say that, Shui Bingling's pretty face suddenly changed, and she looked very surprised and uneasy.
Yi Yang said truthfully: "The age is wrong, if I am not mistaken, this bronze should have been made by later people, it is an imitation, and things like this can only be regarded as handicrafts, and there is no collection value." ”
"Oh, I see!" Shui Bingling nodded and said with a sudden realization.
Yi Yang added: "In fact, you should also be able to see that this bronze will make people feel a little strange at a glance, I don't know if you have found it, the layer of leather covered on their surface is not slippery and unnatural, obviously with 'thief light', this is the biggest feature of the new imitation, the most basic way to identify an antique and determine its age is to look at its pulp." ”
"yes, I see!" Shui Bingling nodded with a smile and said, "I have understood, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
At this point, Yi Yang and they almost finished reading the things that Shui Bingling needed to see, but they did not leave the collection room, but stayed inside to continue to appreciate the treasures of Shui Bingling.
"What the hell is wrong with an antique?!" Yi Yang thought to himself.
He looked all the way down, and he didn't find any antiques with obvious damage, but the magical gold thread in his right eye was already eager to fly out to "work".
Since the problem can't be found with the naked eye, Yi Yang can only use his eyesight to find out the problem.
So at that moment, he unconsciously drove the golden thread hidden deep in his right eye, and as soon as the golden thread came out, the golden light was revealed.
In the blink of an eye, the gold wire flew to the ground beside it, and there was a bag that was bulging, apparently containing something.
The golden thread spun around the bag at a rapid pace, and the golden light that shrouded it there penetrated the bag.
With the perspective effect!
So Yi Yang directly inspected the things placed in the bag, it turned out to be a pile of porcelain pieces, and it seemed that the situation fell from the same porcelain.
"Is that blue and white porcelain?!"
When he saw that scene clearly, Yi Yang only felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't expect that there was still a pile of porcelain pieces hidden in Shui Bingling's collection room, it is estimated that the pile of porcelain pieces was not deliberately taken back by her, but she accidentally broke a piece of porcelain when she was packing things, so it became fragmented.
Yi Yang is naturally very interested in the ancient porcelain pieces that can be repaired, and if this is the case in the antique market outside, then he will definitely find a way to take it down, and then repair it well and turn it into a complete piece of porcelain.
But that thing was from Shui Bingling, and now in her hand, how embarrassed was she to open up to the other party directly, saying that she wanted to buy the pile of broken porcelain.
Although he couldn't open his mouth, he still wanted to ask to see what the situation was.
So I only heard him knock on the side and say to Shui Bingling: "Miss Shui, you don't usually collect broken porcelain, do you?" Now when I go to the homes of some friends in the industry to visit the collection, I often find that there are a lot of broken porcelain pieces in their collection room, including porcelain pieces of peerless treasures such as Ru kiln. ”
Asked by Yi Yang, Shui Bingling hurriedly replied: "I don't accept broken porcelain pieces, but I have some here." ”
"You have here?!" Yi Yang asked pretending to be surprised.
"Yes, right here." Shui Bingling immediately pointed to a bag placed on the ground and said, and gently picked it up, opened the mouth of the bag and showed it to Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao.
At first sight, Bai Wenchao was surprised: "Miss Shui, this is a blue and white porcelain piece, right?" ”
"That's right." Shui Bingling nodded, and replied one by one, "I received a blue and white porcelain, which was a very beautiful celestial ball bottle, but unfortunately, it was accidentally broken by me, and it all rotted like this. ”
Bai Wenchao smiled and said, "Brother Yi Yang is very good at repairing porcelain?" You can ask him to fix it! ”
Yi Yang shook his head and said, "This is a bit difficult!" It was so broken that some of it had become powdered, and it was not easy to repair it completely. ”
He had expected Shui Bingling to beg him to help fix the porcelain, and if the other party made a request, then he would only agree, even if it was a hard snap.
Unexpectedly, Shui Bingling didn't mean that, but shook his head and said: "Don't bother Mr. Yi, I know that this porcelain is difficult to repair, and it is basically impossible to restore it intact." ”
"That's right." Bai Wenchao nodded in agreement, "Even if it can be repaired so well, it will take a long, long time." ”
Shui Bingling said with a smile: "Mr. Yi, this pile of porcelain pieces is useless to put here with me, I heard Mr. Bai say, you usually like to collect broken porcelain pieces, then I will give you these porcelain pieces, you can take them back and study them well, even if they are repaired in the future, it will be yours, I will give it to you." ”
"This ...... How can this be?! Yi Yang hurriedly shook his head and said.
He never expected Shui Bingling to say this, and he would be so generous to give him the pile of porcelain pieces.
In the eyes of others, that pile of porcelain pieces may be just a pile of inconspicuous broken porcelain pieces, which is not valuable, but in his Yi Yang's eyes, it can be easily repaired, which is equivalent to a precious porcelain given to him by Shui Bingling.
"What's not to do? It's just a small thing. Shui Bingling shook his head and said, "You help me identify things, I have to say something, right?" Mr. Yi, you just accept it, if you don't accept it, it will be disgusting my friend and not treating me as a friend. ”
"Of course not!" Yi Yang shook his head hurriedly.
Shui Bingling insisted so much, he only nodded and agreed, and accepted the batch of porcelain pieces.
Shui Bingling gave Yi Yang the porcelain piece of the blue and white celestial ball vase as a thank you gift, Shui Bingling was so sincere that Yi Yang had no choice but to accept it.
At this point, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao have finished reading all the antiques such as porcelain in the Shui Bingling collection room, except for the bronze, the rest are not any problems in their opinion, they are genuine good things, and they are worth cherishing.
After the appraisal, Yi Yang and the others walked out of the room, and Shui Bingling said politely: "Mr. Yi, Mr. Bai, thanks to you this time." It's not early, it's time for dinner, and I'll invite you to dinner. ”
Yi Yang shook his head and smiled: "Miss Shui, you don't have to be so polite, it's just a gesture." ”
Shui Bingling said solemnly: "This is as it should be." ”
At that moment, she invited Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and this meal was very hearty.
After they were full of wine and food, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao said goodbye to Shui Bingling and returned to the hotel.
