Chapter 54: Everyone Rejoices

Within ten minutes of hanging up the phone, Ren Jingtian arrived downstairs at Yu Lifei. It's convenient to have a mobile phone, he doesn't have to go upstairs, just call Yu Lifei, and the person will come down immediately.

"Do you know the way? Elder Wu has already urged me several times, if he knew that you live here, I'm afraid he would have come over a long time ago. After Ren Jingtian got into the car, he said with a smile. In the past, he also asked Wu Wengu to appraise things, but as he made more and more eyes, Wu Wengu knew that the things facing him were all in vain. The things he brought over were really useless except for being used as negative teaching materials.

So as long as it is an appraisal matter, Wu Wengu basically refuses. This time I heard that it was Yu Lifei's thing, and Wu Wengu changed his tone. But even so, Ren Jingtian felt very honored. At the same time, I was also thinking in my heart, when would I be so valued in the eyes of Wu Lao.

"It's not a precious artifact." Yu Lifei modestly said that he knew that the purple sand devices of the Ming and Qing dynasties were the most exquisite, and the things in the Daoguang period, although they were engraved, were not antique treasures. In his heart, he felt that this thing was worth the money of a house, and it was almost there.

"You're going to have to do it." Ren Jingtian glanced at Yu Lifei, this is a typical example of being cheap and obedient. He's always wanted to pick up leaks, but he'd always heard of others picking up leaks. After Yu Lifei came, he watched him pick up the leak. When will I be able to really pick up a leak?

From Yu Lifei's house to Wu Wengu, it only takes a few minutes by car. Yu Lifei held the melon petal basin, Ren Jingtian knocked on the door, and it was Wu Zhicun who came to open the door. Seeing that they were holding things, he just glanced at the white lacquer melon petal basin in Yu Lifei's hand lightly, and said? "Coming? The old man can't wait. ”

"Uncle Wu, you can also take a look." Ren Jingtian said with a smile that his Ming Xuande glaze red Sanskrit halberd lid jar was seen by Wu Zhicun. At that time, he thought it was just a handicraft that Yu Lifei bought for fifty yuan, but now as soon as he saw that thing, he was a little panicked.

"You kid don't even understand this rule? Don't bother the two masters, come in first. Wu Zhicun glanced at Ren Jingtian angrily, which was Ren Jingtian's proximity to his family. If it were someone else, it would have been a great offense to say such a thing.

Since you have already invited someone to give you a palm, and you want to invite outsiders, isn't this a clear disbelief in people? This not only does not please you, but both sides will offend, and you are not a person inside and out. If you are not comfortable with an appraisal, it is another matter to ask someone to appraise. But if you tell the second person who has already appraised me, then they may not give you another appraisal. Even if you do an appraisal, when you draw conclusions, you will hesitate for a long time, and even make a fool of yourself.

"Less, you come with me." When Wu Wengu heard the knock on the door, he also walked out of the study. Seeing that it was indeed Ren Jingtian and Yu Lifei, he beckoned to them, led Yu Lifei into the study with the melon petal basin, and asked him to put the melon petal basin on the big table.

After Li Fei put the things away, Wu Wengu took a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight to carefully shine on the inner wall of the melon petal basin. After looking at it for a while, he gently stroked the outer wall of the round basin with his hand.

"Old Wu, is it good to get this layer of paint off the outside?" Ren Jingtian asked, interlaced like a mountain, let him deal with the contradictions of the masses, he is the number one. But if he were to deal with the lacquer on it, it would be a no-brainer. Even if he gets it down, I'm afraid he will hurt this melon petal basin.

"It's not that hard. Less, you will be my assistant later. Wu Wengu said that the antique industry has a special molting liquid, which can be cleaned and painted, and most importantly, there is basically no harm to the object itself.

The so-called assistant is actually commanded by Wu Wengu, Yu Lifei took the brush and carefully and evenly applied the paint decomposition liquid to the basin. After half an hour, rinse with water. The white paint on the outer layer quickly peeled off. There is indeed a pattern on the basin, and there is a circle of engraving. Because of the inscription, some words were covered by white paint, Yu Lifei changed the brush, and after carefully brushing the paint liquid, soon, this melon petal basin was completely revealed.

"There is not a single branch in Jiangcun, and ten thousand trees are planted by their own hands. Only in the mountains and clouds separated, and no one flew cranes from nobody. Lonely Gao has long occupied the spectrum of the group, and the legacy is a peerless talent. It seems that my copper bottle is a clear offering, and it is not a good building. Daoguang Yiwei mid-autumn moon under the moon, Jiushan Zhuqi Town. As soon as Wu Wengu walked away, he immediately picked up the melon petal basin, lit the lamp on the table, and chanted softly.

"Dad, this Zhu Qizhen seems to be a Jinshi in the Daoguang period, right?" Wu Zhicun is worthy of being the deputy director of the museum, he is very knowledgeable, and as soon as he heard the name, he immediately had an impression.

"Yes. Zhu Qizhen, the word Jiushan, Jiaxing people. Daoguang was a nine-year jinshi and was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. Transferred to the court, awarded the Gansu Provisional Inspectorate. In his lifetime, he served as a member of the Yunnan Dian Examination and served as an examiner twice. He loves calligraphy and is the author of "Southern Yunnan Chronicles" and so on. Wu Wengu said that as an archaeological expert, he can remember tens of thousands of historical figures, and he must devote himself to the study of every dynasty and every period of history.

"Old Wu, this melon petal round basin was ordered by Zhu Qizhen, right?" Yu Lifei asked, since Zhu Qizhen is a jinshi, it is naturally impossible to do the work of a craftsman. Ancient craftsmen, no matter how exquisite their craftsmanship was, had a very low social status. The so-called everything is inferior, only reading is high. The status of the farmer and the craftsman is still below the peasant, how can a scholar become a craftsman.

"It should be true, during the Daoguang period, the literati and doctors often had elegant gathering activities to talk about Confucianism and debate the scriptures. In his monograph "Yan Ji Cheng", which recorded his visit to Yanjing, the North Korean envoy Park Sihao included a special section entitled "Chunshu Qing Tan", which described the scene of his gathering and discussion with Chinese literati and doctors. They often met in Chunshu Zhai, where Ding Tai, who was the secretary of the cabinet at the time, and among them was Zhu Qizhen. "Daoxian Huan Hai Records of Experience" contains: Eleven years after Daoguang, Zhu Qizhen often met with Lou Ren, Zhang Jixin and others to 'give lessons', 'six episodes a month, overlapping as guests and hosts', they chanted poems and wrote poems, sang and sang harmony with each other, and often gave gifts to each other during the period to increase elegance. This flower pot is very likely to be an elegant gift ordered by Zhu Qizhen. When Wu Wengu talked about these things, he was like a treasure.

This made Yu Lifei very impressed, when would he be able to see an antique like Wu Wengu, and be able to tell the ins and outs so clearly, then it can be regarded as officially entering the antique world, right? But he also knows that to achieve this, there is no other shortcut, only to learn more, see more, ask more questions, in order to grow rapidly.

"Old Wu, how much can this thing be worth?" Ren Jingtian asked, he was also very interested in this melon petal round basin, but what interested him the most was the price.

This basin is huge, engraved with poems, carved with knives and pens, and the font seems to have the wind of Yan and willow, which has a strong literati meaning and the value of the times. If you have to say a price, it should be more than 80,000, which should be the current market price. Wu Wengu said slowly.

"Less, where did you buy this pot?" Wu Zhicun asked, he remembered the last time the Ming Xuande glaze red Sanskrit halberd lid jar seemed to be bought by Yu Lifei. Now this Zhu Qizhen ordered and carved a mud melon petal round basin, and he took it again. Not to mention the Ming Xuande glaze red Sanskrit halberd lid jar, just this Zhu Qizhen ordered and carved a mud melon petal round basin, Yu Lifei didn't need to go to the museum to be a security guard.

"Where did he buy it, he just picked it up." Ren Jingtian said sourly, he has been interested in antiques for several years, but he has not picked up a single leak in the past few years, but Yu Lifei, picking up a leak is like eating.

"Didn't that jade wrench last time sell, so I asked Brother Ren to help me buy a house. This flower pot is from that house, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but when I moved the flower pot, it felt a little uneven, so I paid special attention to it. Yu Lifei said humbly.

"Less, where did you buy your house?" Wu Wengu asked with interest, the first thing Yu Lifei did when he had money was to buy a house, which made him very pleased. Unlike some people, as soon as they have money, they enjoy it and go to show it wide, Yu Lifei gives him a down-to-earth feeling.

"Right next to the museum." Yu Lifei said.

"Lifei, this melon petal basin, do you plan to make a move?" Ren Jingtian asked, before bringing it, this melon petal round pot was coated with a thick layer of white paint, no matter where it was placed, it was inconspicuous. But now after cleaning, it's like an ugly duckling turning into a white swan. No matter where it is placed, it looks dazzling and can attract the attention of countless people.

"If the price is right, you can consider it." Yu Lifei said that a few days ago he felt that he had become a rich man. But the speed at which he spent money in the past few days gave him a sense of urgency. Besides, it's not safe to keep things at home.

It's very simple to get the price right, as soon as Yan Liqiang received a call from Wu Wengu, he said that there was a good thing and asked him to come and have a look. If you are interested, you can make a move. Yan Liqiang received the call, and it was not yet twenty minutes before he arrived at Wu Wengu's house.

In the antique world, this melon petal round basin can be regarded as a large piece, Yan Liqiang just took a look at it and liked it deeply. The most important thing is that this thing has been double-identified by Wu Wengu and Wu Zhicun, as long as the thing is authentic, he will not hesitate when he pays for it.

I heard that Wu Wengu said a price of more than 80,000 yuan, but Yan Liqiang didn't say a word, and the price was 100,000 yuan. "Less, if you think the price is low, just speak, I can add more."

"Mr. Yan, the price you gave is very fair." Yu Lifei is not an insatiable person, he is not very familiar with the price, and there are no other sales channels, Yan Liqiang can give money quickly, he is already very satisfied.
