Chapter 391 The Best Spring Offering Pot (II)

"Brother Qing, what is this?!" Lin Haitao was surprised and said, before this, he hadn't paid attention to the thing that was quietly placed in the corner of the wall, it was gray, inconspicuous, and it was difficult for people to notice.

"It's an old thing! A rare antique! He Qing said loudly.

"You, young man...... You say that thing is valuable?! Can it be used to cure my daughter's illness?! Teacher Liang couldn't believe his ears and asked in a trembling voice with excitement.

"Yes, the money from the sale should be able to support your daughter's medical expenses, at least her current treatment costs don't have to worry." He Qing nodded solemnly and replied.

"Isn't that just an ordinary clay ornament? How is it so valuable? Teacher Liang still couldn't believe that it had been in their house for so long, but he had never thought about it, he thought it was just an ordinary thing, and it would be dirty for others to give it to others for nothing, let alone sell it for a large sum of money.

Suddenly learning about this situation from He Qing's mouth, he was naturally surprised and happy, and excited.

"Mr. Liang, you're right, it's really a clay sculpture in essence, after all, it's made of clay, in fact, many precious works of art are made of clay, such as ceramics." He Qing explained.

"Brother Qing, what the hell is that?" Lin Haitao asked, he was very curious, because looking left and right, he really couldn't see what was desirable about that thing, the strange shape, the color was monotonous, and there was no beauty of a work of art, but the surface area of the thing left a relatively thick layer of pulp, which really looked like an antique that was quite old.

He Qing smiled slightly: "This thing is actually very common, we saw it just now." ”

"Did we meet just now? Where is it? Lin Haitao asked puzzled.

He Qing looked at Master Ding and Mr. Xue, who were also standing aside in surprise, and said, "In Master Ding's shop, I just saw it at Mr. Xue's house. ”

"Huh?!" As soon as these words came out, Lin Haitao and Master Ding looked at each other, and they didn't know why.

However, Lin Haitao quickly thought of something and said, "Could it be a purple clay pot?!" This is a purple clay pot?! ”

"If you look closely, you should recognize the texture of that clay ornament." He Qing didn't answer directly, but said, "Teacher Liang, can we move this thing outside?" It's a bit dim and you can't see it very clearly. ”

"Absolutely!" Teacher Liang nodded his head in agreement without hesitation, so he personally moved the thing out, and the thing was heavy, like a strange-shaped stone bench.

He Qing and Lin Haitao also went out, and now that the things have moved out, Lin Haitao and they can also see it clearly.

"It's really like the texture of purple sand." After seeing it clearly, Lin Haitao nodded and said.

He Qing said: "Well, yes. This thing looks a little inferior because it has been sitting there for a long time, has not been maintained, and the surface is covered with dust. ”

"Xiaohe, this is really made of purple sand?!" Master Ding wondered.

He Qing nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes, Master Ding." This is not only made of purple sand, but it is also a purple sand pot, a very old purple sand pot! ”

"Purple clay pot?! Which is this purple clay pot?! Lin Haitao said puzzled.

He Qing squatted down and stared intently at the huge purple clay pot.

After a while, he pointed to the thing and said to Lin Haitao: "Haitao, take a closer look, what do you think this thing looks like?" ”

Lin Haitao also squatted down, looked left and right, and said: "At first glance, it looks like a strange-shaped tree stump, but it's hard to say if you look closely." ”

He Qing nodded and said, "Its shape is indeed related to trees, but it is not an ordinary tree stump, but a tree gall." You should know what the 'tree gall' is, right? ”

Lin Haitao said: "Of course I know, gall wood, shadow wood." A lot of antique furniture is made of gall wood. ”

"Well, almost." He Qing nodded lightly and said, "'Tree gall' is a nodule formed by the proliferation of local cells of trees due to stimulation by fungi or pests, because it is a naturally growing form, a thousand forms, and a spectacle, so many works of art are made based on it, and 'tree gall pot' is one of them." The ornament in front of us is a purple sand tree gall pot, which is actually very beautiful, and the more you look at it, the more peculiar and tasteful. ”

"I see!" Lin Haitao suddenly realized, "Brother Qing, you're right, this thing has a weird and interesting shape, but there is too much dust on it, and I can't see it clearly." ”

He Qing nodded and said, "Yes, it is covered with dust, which affects the appearance." Mr. Liang, can you clean it up? ”

"Yes! How do you say to wash it? Teacher Liang hurriedly agreed.

He Qing said: "Just rinse it with clean water, don't use a brush and a cleaning ball, it may damage its surface." ”

"yes, I see." Mr. Liang nodded in response, and then he picked up the strange teapot and went under the faucet to clean it.

In a few moments, he turned and walked back, and the thing had been rinsed and restored.

"Young man, I've washed this thing, you see." Teacher Liang came over and carefully placed the thing on a table for He Qing and them to appreciate.

"Haitao, Master Ding, look at it now, isn't it a typical purple sand mud?" He Qing said with a smile.

"Indeed, this is purple sand!" Master Ding nodded heavily.

Lin Haitao was also surprised: "Now I can see it very clearly, it looks like the texture of a purple clay pot, but is this a pot?" Is it empty inside? ”

"Yes!" He Qing said, "If there is space, it is used to hold tea." You see, it's the handle. ”

As he spoke, he reached over and gently grabbed a small protrusion on the purple sand clay sculpture, and then rotated it in one direction, it turned out that the thing was not fixed, but could twist.

Immediately, something even more surprising happened, only to see that the flat part of the top automatically opened a small opening.

"Did you see that?" He Qing explained, "This pot is not an ordinary tree gall pot, it is controlled by the information agency, and tea is poured into it. ”

"Where did you pour the tea from?" Lin Haitao's eyes widened slightly, and he said in surprise.

He Qing said: "After the knob at one end of the handle returns to its original position, it should be able to pour tea by rotating it three hundred and sixty degrees in the other direction." ”

At that moment he adjusted the knob and tried it, and sure enough, a small opening opened on the other end.

"It's incredible!" Lin Haitao was surprised, "I didn't expect this thing to have another meaning, 'hidden deeply'!" Brother Qing, how did you know? You are divine, we didn't even notice it, and you know everything about it! ”

He Qing shook his head and said, "I just happened to have seen it, so I am more familiar." ”

Of course he had seen it, but he had seen its "past and present lives" through his strange abilities without knowing it, so he naturally understood the basic information of things and how to use them.

"How much is this thing worth, young man?" Teacher Liang suddenly asked urgently.

Of course, he was very concerned about this issue, because He Qing's words made him suddenly see a great hope, it was like a dream, and he only hoped that this dream would not be shattered.

With the money, he was able to treat his daughter, but now his daughter's condition is getting worse and she needs to be treated, but the expensive surgery and other medical expenses are not affordable for their current family financial situation, so they have to give up the advanced treatment plan and carry out the most conservative treatment.

He Qing shook his head and said: "Teacher Liang, to be honest, I don't know this very well, but one thing is certain, this thing is worth a lot, and the most conservative estimate should be able to sell for hundreds of thousands." ”

"Hundreds of thousands?!"

When they heard his answer, not only Mr. Liang was taken aback, but Master Ding and Mr. Xue couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

The old purple clay pot that Mr. Xue just gave to He Qing was only 100,000 yuan, who knew that Mr. Liang had such a good thing hidden in his house.

Hundreds of thousands, this is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but in the eyes of Mr. Liang, who is stretched thin and raising money to treat his daughter, it is an unattainable amount.

"You, young man...... Don't scare me...... Is this thing really worth that much money? Teacher Liang couldn't help laughing, and his voice trembled with excitement for a while.

Hundreds of thousands, he never dreamed of it, if he really had so much money, he could treat his daughter well, so that his daughter would not sit here and suffer from illness, maybe he could be cured.

"I'm not scaring you, I'm telling the truth." He Qing replied solemnly.

"Lao Liang, you should be happy!" Mr. Xue said loudly, "This Xiao He is not an ordinary person, he is an expert in the antique shop, and the appraisal of things is accurate at a glance, and it is absolutely impossible to be wrong!" ”

He praised He Qing a lot.

Teacher Liang nodded again and again: "I know, I just can't believe this fact, you said that I have stored something at home for so many years, it is actually a treasure!" ”

Master Ding also accosted with a smile: "Mr. Liang, antiques are like this, a thing, in the eyes of some people it is a treasure, but in the eyes of others, it may be worthless, it is a useless thing." An expert deserves to be an expert, if you are an ordinary person, you can't find it. I've been playing with the purple clay pot for so many years, but I didn't see the clue for a long time, and Xiaohe recognized it at a glance! ”

While comforting Teacher Liang, they were full of praise for He Qing's eyesight.

"Mr. Liang, there are hundreds of thousands, let's start with 300,000, this is the lowest price." He Qing said, "If you take it to the auction house to buy it, when the time comes, the price will be difficult to estimate, and no matter how much it is, it is possible." I'm curious, how did you get this thing? ”

He casually asked about the origin of that very special purple clay pot, in fact, he knew something about it, but it was just a superficial view, and he couldn't determine many details.

"That thing wasn't mine." Teacher Liang pondered for a moment, as if caught in a memory, and then said in 1510, "Many years ago, at that time, it was the Civil, Chemical, Great, and [Revolutionary] Movements, and there was a teacher, he was also a scholar and a writer, and at that time, because of the fierce trouble, he was regarded as a feudal diehard, and was tracked down by the Red, Guards, and Soldiers, so he hid from the south to me, and lived here for two years, and he didn't go back until the matter calmed down." When he came, he brought a lot of things, including books, calligraphy and paintings, and some other important things, this purple clay pot is his, and some other trivial things, originally I sued him and asked him to take it, but he said no, and gave me all the valuable things. ”

He Qing asked, "Didn't he explain the situation of this purple clay pot?" ”

"Nope." Teacher Liang shook his head and said, "He fell ill not long after he went back, and later died of illness, and I couldn't contact him if I wanted to." ”

He Qing nodded and said: "That's right, listening to what Mr. Liang said, this purple clay pot is well documented, that teacher must be a collector and has collected a lot of good things, and this purple clay pot is one of them." Teacher Liang, congratulations, your friend left you a good thing, you helped him for two years, he didn't let you help in vain, and left such a precious thing, so that you can exchange it for the medical expenses for your daughter's treatment, you are grateful. Good people have good rewards! ”

"I really didn't expect that!" Teacher Liang was still very excited and said, "But young man, it's all up to your guidance, if you don't help you see it, then none of us will find out." ”

He Qing shook his head and said, "You're welcome, it's just a gesture." ”

"Brother Qing, when is this purple clay pot? Qing Dynasty? Ming dynasty? Or when else? Later, I only heard Lin Haitao ask.

He Qing replied: "It's from the Ming Dynasty, it's very old. This kind of thing is not common, and it is difficult to see it at auction, so there is no specific transaction record, and the price can be high or low. My estimate is the one I just mentioned. ”

"Ming Dynasty? So old?! Lin Haitao was surprised, "Then is it from the hand of a famous teacher?" ”

The purple clay pot is actually not expensive, and now the new products on the market are generally about 100 yuan, but if it is the work of a famous artist, it is difficult to estimate, the purple clay pot made by the top master, the auction price has exceeded 10 million yuan, which is very amazing.

He Qing said: "It is a 'spring pot', which is from the hands of famous teachers in the Ming Dynasty. Master Ding, you should have heard of the 'Spring Offering Pot', right? ”

Master Ding nodded and said, "Well, I've heard of it, but I haven't studied it, I've only seen modern imitations, and I haven't seen the real 'Spring Teapot'." ”

He Qingyuan originally said: "It's really rare. The spring pot is a tree gall pot, which is a special purple clay pot. The spring pot is a pot made by Jiang, Su Yi and Xing sand pot famous artists during the Zhengde and Jiajing periods of the Ming Dynasty. Legend has it that his surname is Gong and his name is Chun. Fu Chun was an official's scholar. When he accompanied his master to study in Jinsha Temple in Yixing, an old monk in the temple was very good at making purple clay pots, and he secretly learned it in Chun. Later, he used the old monk's hands to precipitate the clay at the bottom of the jar, and made a pot in the shape of the gall of the big ginkgo tree next to Jinsha Temple, that is, the shape of the nodules, and engraved the patterns on the gall. After firing, this pot is very simple and lovely, so this kind of purple clay pot imitating the natural form became famous all of a sudden, and people called it a spring pot. Mr. Liang's 'spring pot' can be said to be a superb! ”
