Chapter 151: Holding the Moon Bottle
Thinking of this, Yang Kang hurriedly took it, opened it and took a look, sure enough, it was a flower-patterned teacup, with a yellow plum pattern on it, and the shape and size of the teacup were exactly the same as the teacup he received from the old man last time.
"This thing looks like a flower cup!" At this time, Lao Hai's voice came to Yang Kang's ears and said, "Theoretically, there should be twelve, but I searched everywhere and found five in total." He said as he handed him the other.
Yang Kang stretched out his hand to take it, this teacup is not a yellow wax plum blossom, but a red red plum blossom, he rubbed it with his fingers, full of love, and asked, "What kind of flowers are there three?" ”
"Chrysanthemums, hibiscus and osmanthus!" Lao Hai said, "So I suspect it's the Flower God Cup, but unfortunately there are only five, otherwise, if you put it together, it will be fun." ”
"Well, I'm already happy to have five." Yang Kang was even more overjoyed when he heard this, although he couldn't be sure that this was the Flower God Cup, but now these five and the three in his house are put together, there are eight, and they must look very good together.
Think about it, the famous flower god cup is Kangxi blue and white color - the so-called blue and white color is actually a bucket color.
Kangxi also seems to like antique, there are also imitations of Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cups and other things during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, then, it is possible that the flower god cup is also an imitation of the Chenghua period of the object, but because the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai flower cup has never appeared in the antique market, so no one knows?
"There are also a couple of bowls, all with peacock blue glaze and red glaze. You go back and take a look, there are two other pairs of vases. Lao Hai said as he opened the large object and let Yang Kang look at it carefully.
When Lao Hai opened one of the pair of vases, Yang Kang couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed, "Sacrifice red glazed jade pot spring bottle? ”
"Hmm!" Lao Hai nodded.
"From the Chenghua period?" As Yang Kang spoke, he picked up one of the vases, but when he looked at the payment below, he was stunned for a moment.
"Xuande Festival Red Glaze?" Yang Kang said stunned.
"At first, I thought it was from the Chenghua period, but later I found out that it was the red glaze of the Xuande Festival. This old eunuch obviously appropriated the royal porcelain without permission. Lao Hai said with a smile.
"Mr. Hai. Is that old eunuch Zhu Yuanzuo? Yang Kang couldn't hide the curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help asking.
"Huh?" Lao Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "How did you guess?" ”
"I was just skeptical. You said it yourself - O old eunuch! Yang Kang said with a smile. He was the chief eunuch of the kiln during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. And he was also good at firing porcelain, and I am not surprised that there is a large amount of Ming Dynasty porcelain in his tomb. ”
Lao Hai smiled a little awkwardly. nodded and said, "That's right, it's the old eunuch." The great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty was still full of scenery and could run around, and I didn't expect that he would arrange his posthumous affairs near Jinling. ”
Yang Kang smiled and said: "Jinling was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and later because of the Yongle Emperor, the capital was moved to the imperial capital. Zhu Yuanzuo also has some culture, and probably thinks that Jinling is an outstanding person, so he arranges his posthumous affairs here. ”
Lao Hai nodded and said with a smile: "You are very reasonable, the red glaze of the Xuande Festival is also over, it is not a good thing that has never appeared on the market, look at this!" ”
Lao Hai said as he picked up another vase and untied the old newspaper outside.
"Hold the moon bottle?" Yang Kang was stunned for a moment, and then, he almost snatched the moon bottle from Lao Hai's hand.
The so-called Baoyue bottle, also known as "Baoyue bottle", small mouth, straight neck, neck side ears, because the bottle belly is like a full moon, so it is called Baoyue bottle, it is one of the common utensils in Yongle and Jingdezhen kilns in the Ming Dynasty, which is not a strange thing.
However, what amazed Yang Kang was that the color of this bottle was also bright and bright red, commonly known as "ruby red", which was the color of the red glaze of the Xuande Festival. And on top of this bright red, there is a white cockatoos.
There are cockatoos on both sides of the bottle, one side is about to fly, and the other side is quiet and gentle perched on the branches.
The wings of the parrot are outlined in an overlapping way, giving the entire bottle a three-dimensional and lifelike pattern.
"What a beautiful parrot!" Yang Kang said as he busily looked at the payment below.
What stunned him was that this crested parrot pattern moon bottle turned out to be something from the Xuande period.
"I don't seem to have seen this kind of pattern in the red glaze of the Xuande Festival?" Yang Kang frowned and said.
"It's really rare." Lao Hai said, "But it's not nothing, I've seen another similar one, but it doesn't seem to have flowed into the antique market, you don't know normal." After all, at that time, the red glaze could be fired, and there must be people who studied firing patterns on top of the red. ”
"Yes!" Yang Kang said with a smile, "It is also possible that the original kiln supervisor studied firing, but due to the imperfect process, he did not dare to offer the emperor Lao'er, otherwise, the emperor Lao'er looked at it and liked it, and ordered the kiln supervisor to supervise a large number of firing for the palace furnishings or use, but the kiln supervisor could not fire it, the kiln workers were unlucky, and he himself could not get the slightest good." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lao Hai nodded and smiled again and again, and said, "People who can fight in such power centers are cunning in their bones, and they will not put themselves in danger, they can't control external factors, but they won't die by themselves." ”
"This bottle may be a work of Zhang Shan's period." Yang Kang remembered the record about Zhang Shan, and it was mentioned in the "Records of Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty" that in the first year of Hongxi, the young eunuch Zhang Shan was the kiln supervisor of Jingdezhen, and was responsible for making several white porcelain sacrificial vessels for Emperor Taizong and Emperor Renzong of the first palace.
Looking at Yang Kang's obsessive look, Lao Hai asked curiously, "Who is Zhang Shan?" ”
"The kiln governor in the Xuande period was also a eunuch." Yang Kang said with a smile.
"Do you have any information?" Lao Hai asked, "If there is, I'll give you a walk to see if there are any rare goods?" ”
"Nope!" Yang Kang shook his head and said, "You can't go-he's more tragic." ”
"Oh?" Lao Hai was stunned and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"This Zhang Shan is not a good type, he has only been a kiln supervisor for two years, and he was exposed for giving away imperial porcelain to his colleagues without permission, and then he was sentenced to death." Yang Kang said, "However, only such a bold person would devour the imperial porcelain in private, right?" ”
Lao Hai thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but if you are small, you will never dare to do this kind of thing, this is a loss of head." ”
"So, he was reported, and then he was miserable." Yang Kang smiled, "However, it doesn't matter, the important thing is - I really like this bottle." ”
"I knew you'd like something like this." Lao Hai said with a smile, "It's done, you can look at the rest of the things slowly, I'm still in a hurry to go to Linxiang City, and I won't be able to catch the car when it's late." ”
"Cheng, I'll give you the money, and you give me the bank account number." Yang Kang said.
The pair of chicken bowl cups is worth 30 million, Lao Hai's batch of goods, the value is very cheap, the point is that his batch of goods is still very exquisite and high-grade, and there is no slightest bump and crack, etc.
"Good!" Lao Hai took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to him, and said, "Is this okay?" ”
Yang Kang nodded, took out his mobile phone to call the bank, but in just a few minutes, the transfer had been completed.
Lao Hai rolled up the sack and said, "The silver and goods are in two places." ”
"Thank you, there will be such a good thing in the future, remember to take care of my business." Yang Kang said with a smile.
"Naturally, just because of my friendship with your father, I will also take care of your business." Lao Hai said as he walked out of the underground warehouse, pointed to the "Tongling Baoyu" hanging on his waist and said, "Who made this wishful knot for you?" The craftsmanship is good. ”
"A friend of mine made it up, thank you for the gift you always gave me." Yang Kang said with a smile, since he knew that the piece of mutton fat white jade entwined branch lily in the Song Dynasty was given to Guo Fatzi by his master, he said that he would not accept anything, and stuffed it to Guo Fatzi, and found Feng Xiucai to weave a wishful knot for him, and put this "Tongling Jade" on his body.
"It's really rare to see people with this kind of craftsmanship now." Lao Hai said with a smile, "The piece of Song Yu you had last time was not bad, I went to Linxiang City this time, if the news is reliable, I will have the opportunity to give you a few pieces of good Song Yu to play with." ”
Yang Kang couldn't help laughing, no wonder Lao Hai was in such a hurry to leave, it turned out that there was nothing good about rushing to Linxiang City?
"Mr. Hai, can I ask a question?" Yang Kang wanted not to ask, but he couldn't hold back, he was really curious, and he had been curious since he was in school.
"What?" Lao Hai frowned and asked, "Ah Kang, if you have anything, ask directly-don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with my goods." ”
"It's not a cargo!" Yang Kang said with some embarrassment, "I just want to ask you, old man, is there a 'baby' buried in Zhu Yuanzuo's tomb?" ”
"Huh? Baby? Lao Hai frowned and said, "The best is porcelain, and a piece of green jade pendant that is not too good, a few gold ingots, and a few bronzes, I let the brothers who accepted them sell them for some money, and follow me to have a hard time, and I have to give them something, right?" ”
"Mr. Hai, it's not this baby!" Yang Kang smiled awkwardly, "Isn't he a eunuch?" Is there a talk of a full burial? ”
Lao Hai suddenly came back to his senses at this time, he never thought that Yang Kang was interested in this matter, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "I really didn't pay attention, it seems to be ...... No, if I dig up the old tomb of the great eunuch in the future, I will pay attention to you, and I am not a historian, so I still pay attention to this? Why are you curious about this? ”
"I'm a history student!" Yang Kang sneered, "This issue has been debated endlessly, but there seems to be no clear statement. (To be continued......)
