Chapter 168: Lychee Fruit Saucer
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "The manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions"? I don't like things like that, I still like porcelain. ”
"It's not a transcript, if it's a transcript, Professor Qin won't take medicine at my house!" Yang Kang smiled, "I looked at it, it may be the manuscript of Old Master Cao's book - this painting may be the "Qinxi Orchid Sketch", but I am not sure." ”
The two had already reached the upper floor between talking, Yang Kang turned on the light and asked Mr. Tang to go in first.
"What can make that old man take medicine indiscriminately is not an imitation." Tang Chen smiled, "In that case, I'll take a look too!" ”
"Good!" Yang Kang nodded, and immediately put the poem manuscript on the table with the "Sketch of Qinxi Orchid" and asked Tang Chen to appreciate it.
"This is a manuscript of poetry!" Tang Chen flipped through a few pages and said, "It's not complete, someone tore it off?" ”
"Yes, there are manuscripts too, but there is a part of "The Treasure of the Wind and the Moon", that is, "Dream of Red Mansions" five to fifteen times." Yang Kang said, "Do you want to see it? ”
"Show me it!" Tang Chen was really interested, and said with a smile, "As soon as you say it, I'm really interested." ”
"Good!" Yang Kang smiled, took the key and opened the safe, took out the manuscript as well, and handed it to Tang Chen.
Tang Chen naturally didn't read it carefully like Professor Qin, but flipped through it casually, and what he paid more attention to was the content.
"It seems to be a little different from the version I used to see." Tang Chen smiled, "This one is a little more fragrant/glamorous." ”
"Mr. Tang, didn't you say you didn't do research?" Yang Kang asked with a smile.
"I was ridiculous when I was young!" Tang Chen said as he put down the manuscript in his hand. I went to look at the painting, and then said, "I have been crooked countless times, and I put Baochai and Daiyu on the bed together." ”
At the moment of "......", Yang Kang just rolled his eyes at the ceiling.
"This orchid looks good!" Tang Chen said with a smile, "I have a fight with Zheng Banqiao, but that's it, I still like the lady picture." ”
"You just like beauty!" Yang Kang joked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Tang Chen didn't care and said with a smile. "I had a time when you were your age. I really like beauty. Ah Kang, do you want to take advantage of your birthday this time, I will find two stars and dress up as Baochai and Daiyu. Cheer you up? ”
"Don't, don't, don't ......," Yang Kang shook his head repeatedly.
"I said Akang. You're so old. Why are you still so shy? Tang Chen shook his head and said, "You are handsome, and your family background is good." Why can't you let go of this aspect? What's going on with you and Yin Qing? ”
"Mr. Tang, didn't you say that you didn't investigate me?" Yang Kang was stunned and asked, if he really didn't investigate, how did he know about him and Yin Qing?
"I didn't check it at first!" Tang Chen said honestly, "Originally, after you left my house, I thought, maybe God has mercy on me, so that people can meet a similar person and find some comfort, so since you left my house, you have nothing to do with me, I shouldn't investigate you, so as not to find out something unpleasant, and I can't find it myself." But then I found out that you were the owner of the Yuan blue and white porcelain jar, and I couldn't help it.
Then I found a very unreliable private detective, originally just to check your hobbies, and in the future you can do what you like, and the result is ...... He took my list of surveys and came to you to fill them out. ”
"The person who commissioned the investigation over there in Huangtang is you?" Yang Kang asked blankly.
"yes!" Tang Chen said with a smile, "I didn't know that he was friends with you at first, but later I found out that I angrily beat up the person in charge of the investigation and asked him to go to the magic capital, so as not to bump into Huangtang in Jinling and embarrass each other." ”
"Why don't you ask me yourself? You take the list yourself and ask me to fill it out, how easy is it? Yang Kang said with a smile.
"I'm still afraid you'll be angry!" Tang Chen said honestly.
"You're not afraid of me being angry now?" Yang Kang asked deliberately.
Tang Chen smiled: "Isn't this a chance for me to fight for confession and leniency? ”
"You're going to say that, too?" Yang Kang was really amused by him.
"I live in Jinling all year round, so I naturally know this sentence!" Tang Chen smiled, "And you know sooner or later, why should I hide it from you?" Akang, tell me, what's going on with you and Yin Qing? I've seen pictures of that girl, it's beautiful! ”
"Beauty is better than a tiger!" Yang Kang said, "Mr. Tang, let's not talk about this problem, let's look at porcelain?" ”
"Oh?" Tang Chen saw that he didn't want to say, so he immediately stopped asking, and Yang Kang had already opened the glass door of Duobao Pavilion and invited him to look at the porcelain.
"This tea caddy, is it an enamel process?" Tang Chen looked at it, couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and asked, "During the Qianlong period?" ”
"yes, it's pretty, isn't it?" Yang Kang said with a smile, "Pastels are actually much better looking than blue and white, and blue and white are too plain." The pastel color is gorgeous, and in general, the simulation pattern is exquisite and delicate, the style is beautiful and charming, and the gold pattern looks magnificent. ”
Tang Chen nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "I have a lychee pattern fruit dish with pastel gold enamel technology in the Qianlong period, which is very beautiful. ”
"Really?" Yang Kang smiled, "What does it look like, when will you show me?" ”
"Okay, next time you go to my place, I'll show you!" Tang Chen smiled, "That fruit saucer was given to me by Yang Yang - it is an imitation of the Republic of China, with obvious traces of aging, not real, but it is still very good-looking." ”
"Republic of China imitations?" Yang Kang took it for a while, obviously old, could it be ...... That fruit saucer turned out to be theirs?
"Is there nine lychees, the lychees are bright red in color, and there are emerald green leaves, realistically?" Yang Kang frowned and asked.
"yes!" Tang Chen nodded and said, "Although it is an imitation, it is really good-looking, looking at that painting, it should be the handiwork of a famous artist?" ”
"Is it really that fruit saucer?" Yang Kang was suspicious.
"Akang, have you seen that fruit saucer too?" Tang Chen couldn't help but ask when he saw him asking.
"I saw a beautiful lychee fruit dish earlier, and I have always been very impressed." Yang Kang smiled, "Next time I go to you, I must take a good look." ”
He said as he spoke, but he thought in his heart - he remembered that he was sixteen years old that year, and he accidentally saw a very beautiful lychee fruit dish on his father's Bogu shelf, and he liked it very much, and begged his father to keep it, but his father said that the fruit dish had already been ordered, and it could not be left to him, and he would give it to him again when he had a good one in the future.
This matter was quickly forgotten by him, so that the person who bought his father's fruit plate back then turned out to be Yang Yang.
And his father actually knew Yang Yang?
"You can go see it anytime." Tang Chen smiled gently.
"Mr. Tang, look at this dish." Yang Kang took the pastel peony pattern dish from the Duobao Pavilion and handed it to Tang Chendao, "The peony flower symbolizes wealth and wealth, which is very in line with your identity." ”
"It's beautiful!" When Tang Chen saw the saucer, he really liked it, looked at the light carefully, and asked, "From the Yongzheng period?" ”
"Hmm!" Yang Kang nodded and smiled, "The porcelain of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is very beautiful, and the later ones are a little declining." ”
"From the porcelain, you can see the prosperity of an era." Tang Chen said while admiring the plate.
"Yes!" Yang Kang nodded, he also believed that the prosperity or decline of an era could be judged from the antique cultural relics.
"I want this plate, how much does it cost?" Tang Chen asked.
"Mr. Tang, this plate is for you!" Yang Kang said as he pulled out the jade jade pendant of "Green Pine Aoxue" from his shirt and said, "Look, you gave me a jade jade pendant, and now you are planning a birthday party or something for me, shouldn't I send you something?" ”
"So, I'll take it!" Tang Chen was not polite to him, and agreed with a smile.
"Huh!" Yang Kang chuckled and said, "If you don't accept my gift, I will only be able to see you in the future." ”
"No, I'm still enjoying the gift you gave me." Tang Chen smiled happily, "By the way, Akang, I remember, do you have anything to do recently?" ”
"What's wrong?" Yang Kang asked puzzled.
"I have a friend who runs an auction house, opened a branch in Jinling last year, but unfortunately the business has not been able to do well, recently wanted to organize an antique auction, very shameless came to me to borrow something to do the finale, I feel - my private collection of things, I really don't want to be auctioned for speculation, but because of the situation, it is inconvenient to refuse him." Tang Chen said, "If you have something to sell, it's just right, you can send it to auction and let him do the finale." ”
Yang Kang also knows the criticism of some auction houses, sometimes, those precious antique items are not all purchased by real buyers, but the sellers are the same as the buying and selling houses, and there are traps that are entrusted to be made.
For example, a piece of porcelain itself is worth at most 200,000 yuan, but under the operation of the auction house, it can be sold at a sky-high price of 2 million, which will drive all similar antique objects to heat up.
Tang Chen's personal belongings, he didn't want to be hyped up, after all, he just collected, not bought and sold, but Yang Kang didn't care, if there was something to sell, he could entrust it to auction, the higher the price, the more beneficial it was for him.
"I want to sell that tea can, I have Professor Qin's appraisal certificate, however, a friend asked for the price, I will ask him tomorrow, if he doesn't want it, I am entrusting your friend to auction it!" Yang Kang said.
"Ah Kang, that tea can, you can put it for a while, I feel - if you want to do an antique business, that manuscript of the Red Chamber should be tried." Tang Chen said, "That thing is more gimmicky, and it is suitable for hype." ”
Yang Kang was stunned for a moment, and then he had to sigh, Tang Chen is the material for doing business, what he wants to sell, he is honestly ready to send something to auction.
But what Tang Chen thought about was how to maximize the benefits.
(Yang Kang said with a smile: "The genuine manuscript of the Red Chamber is unabridged, and you can watch it with a monthly pass. (To be continued......)
