177 Zhu Lao
ps: The previous one was yesterday, in addition to this one, there may be two more, and the little flower day is just asking for a monthly pass.
"Okay, okay, you're a student who still learns to buy antiques, do you know how much antiques cost, they're not your lollipops." The little girl waved her hand angrily, trying to drive Liu Sheng out of the city like a fly, and seemed to be annoyed by saying a word to Liu Sheng.
"You" Liu Sheng was so angry that he held a sentence in his mouth, and his face was flushed, it is true that I am a student, but it has nothing to do with whether I can afford it, "I want to see your boss, I won't tell you." ”
"What are you looking for our boss to do, do you want our boss to kick you out of the city, isn't this uncle?" The little girl snatched white for a while, and when she saw Guan Fei who came back from buying water, she directly shifted her attention to him
Guan Fei's face twitched, are I so old from your uncle, Guan Fei touched his face unconsciously, looked at the triumphant little girl with grief, and was speechless.
"Xiaoling, I asked you to look at the store, why is it so noisy?" Suddenly, an old voice came from behind the corner door, and the sound of a neutral voice spread through every corner of the antique shop.
"Grandpa, there's a vexatious customer in the store, and I'm thinking about driving him away." The little girl said coquettishly, and her greasy voice almost gave people goosebumps.
Yes, Liu Sheng and Guan Fei couldn't help but glance at each other, this is still the wicked person who sued first, Liu Sheng has learned her witch nature, it is really difficult to resist.
"What a vexatious trouble, I think it's you." The old man was unmoved, and walked out from behind the corner door with a curtain. The pace is steady. Appears energetic.
Liu Sheng looked at the tall old man and couldn't help but gasp. If Yang Lao is Jin Yong's Huang Laoxi, and Professor Kong is Feng Ge's ram feather, then this old man is Wang Chongyang, who fights the east and the west alone with the sword of Huashan, and the few strokes of the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggars have become a masterpiece.
"Isn't it?" The little girl pursed her lips, and the boss reluctantly put away the mobile phone in her hand, and then glared at Liu Sheng hatefully. A curtain of doors disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Hehe, young man, Xiaoling's girl was spoiled by my wife, in fact, she doesn't have a bad heart, don't mind." Looking at the back of Xiao Ling's departure, the old man's face was stunned, and his smile was quite bitter and sweet.
Seeing that the shopkeeper sincerely apologized, what else could Liu Sheng say, not to mention that he was not the kind of person who cared, ": It's okay." It's okay, maybe I'm in a bit of a hurry. ”
The sedan chair carries people. Face is not only earned by themselves, but also given by others, one more friend and one more way, no one wants to block themselves, the two complimented each other a few words, and the embarrassing atmosphere quickly became active.
"I don't know which one do you like, young man?" The old man didn't dwell too much on this matter, and went straight to the point.
"That Xuande furnace." Liu Sheng pointed to the Xuande furnace he had just mentioned.
Well? The old man looked at Liu Sheng with a strange expression, and said in his heart, no wonder his precious granddaughter didn't give him a good look, it was simply cutting off other people's financial routes.
"I'm sorry, the young man's Xuande furnace is not for sale." The old man sorted out his thoughts and said flatly.
"Not for sale?" Liu Sheng was taken aback, how could it be a non-sale, it was just an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty, as long as someone with some eyesight could see it.
"Well, that's right, it's not for sale." The old man nodded in conviction.
"But that piece is just a work from the late Qing Dynasty, and it's far worse than your Xuande furnace from the Kangxi period." Liu Sheng said a little unwillingly.
There will be a non-sale item in every antique shop, which is the treasure of the town store, let people know how their strength is, the selection of the treasure of the town store is not necessarily the most expensive, but it must best reflect its own heritage, but this late Qing Xuande furnace is good, but it is not enough to suppress the aura of the antique shop.
"Young man, is he really a Xuande furnace of the late Qing Dynasty? Aren't the other Xuande furnaces in my store bad? The old man asked with a smile, his eyes flashing as if he wanted to see through Liu Sheng.
"Well, but I'm shy." Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and pretended to be embarrassed and said.
"Is that so? Young man, I see that you are a little dishonest, do you still want to deceive me, this bad old man, although I am a little old and dizzy, but I still have eyesight. The old man looked at Liu Sheng with a smile, but there were turbulent waves in his heart, could this be another child from a family?
It's no wonder that the old man was surprised that there was a bright and dark treasure in his antique shop, the bright side was for the general collector to see, and the secret treasure of the town shop was for those who really saw it, but Liu Sheng was too young, no wonder he was surprised, this Xuande furnace is indeed a little weird, it can be said that there are only a handful of people who can be seen in the whole of China, those are some old people, and there will never be a hairy boy in his impression.
"That, that" Liu Sheng was a little embarrassed, it was the first time he was asked like this.
"Young man, can you tell me about the identification method of this Xuande furnace?" Seeing Liu Sheng's embarrassment, the old man relieved him as soon as possible.
"Well, what the old gentleman said is not right, please correct me a lot." Liu Sheng looked at the old man's posture as a junior in the school examination, and knew that his little trick had been exposed, so he simply became generous.
Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty was also a playmaker, in order to satisfy the hobby of playing with the incense burner, he ordered the import of a batch of wind-milled red copper from Siam, and instructed the palace craftsman Lu Zhen and the Ministry of Works Wu Bangzuo to design and supervise the production of incense burners with reference to the styles of firewood, Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and named kiln porcelain in the imperial palace, as well as the Song Dynasty's "Xuanhe Bogu Catalogue" and "Archaeological Map" and other historical books. In order to ensure the quality of the incense burner, the craftsman also mixed dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and carefully cast them dozens of times together with red copper. The color of the copper incense burner after the finished product is crystal clear and warm, and it is really a treasure in the handicrafts of the Ming Dynasty. The successful casting of Xuande furnace opened a precedent for copper furnace in later generations, and in a long period of history, Xuande furnace became the common name of copper incense burner. ”
"Xuande used this batch of red copper furnaces to cast a total of 3,000 incense burners in three years, and there was no production in the future. These Xuande furnaces are hidden deep in the palace, but after hundreds of years of wind and rain, the copper incense burner cast by the real Xuande three years has been extremely rare. In order to make huge profits, from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, the activities of antique dealers imitating Xuande furnace have never stopped. Just after the Xuande furnace stopped manufacturing, some officials in charge of the "division of casting" summoned the original casting furnace craftsmen to imitate the Xuande furnace according to the drawings and process procedures. These meticulously cast imitations are comparable to the real thing, and cannot be identified by expert authorities. So far, there are many Xuande furnaces collected in major museums in China, only the bridge ear copper furnace engraved with the seal of "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" at the bottom of the instrument in the Capital Museum is considered by experts to be a treasure, and its body is eggplant skin color, the luster is soft, and the workmanship is extremely fine. Therefore, the identification of Xuande furnace is a very tricky matter. ”
"Generally speaking, the color of the genuine Xuande furnace is peculiar, its luster is warm, it looks like a soft object, it can be pinched or pinched, and the color seems to have been burned by fire, and the color can change due to different visual angles; Genuine Xuande furnace is simple and heavy, the paragraph is mostly in regular script, there is the word "Ming Xuande year", its font is beautiful, neat and natural; Although the appearance of the imitation Xuande furnace is dazzling, the inside is loose and withered, lacking aura; Its words are generally similar to "Ming Xuande five-year supervision of the Ministry of Industry Wu Bangzuo made", etc., its shape is clumsy, light and has no sense of pressure. In short, the identification of the real and false Xuande furnace is one of the "unsolved cases" in the Chinese cultural relics circle. ”
Liu Shengyang said a lot, and then looked at the old man confidently, waiting for the old man's examination, "Old man, I don't know if there is anything I said?" ”
"Well, yes, yes, with such skills at such a young age, the young man's future is limitless." The old man smiled and nodded, "I don't know if you are a family heirloom or an orderly teacher, maybe we still know each other." ”
"Ah, the kid studied under Yang Gongming and Kong Xiwen." As soon as Liu Sheng heard this, he knew that this was a great master hidden in the people, and he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly reported his teacher.
"Why did Brother Yang and Master Kong also accept apprentices?" The old man looked at Liu Sheng with joy for a while, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Dare to ask seniors?" Liu Sheng looked at the old man's excited expression and asked cautiously.
"Hehe, my surname is Zhu, and I have something to do with these Ming Dynasty things in the store." The old man pointed to the cultural toys in the entire antique shop, and said with some self-deprecation.
"Old Zhu, you" Liu Sheng looked at the old man with some embarrassment, neither Elder Yang nor Professor Kong had mentioned this old man surnamed Zhu in front of Liu Sheng.
"It's okay, I don't blame you, I didn't expect these two old guys to still hate me, it's been decades." Zhu Lao's expression was a little depressed, his old buddies are now dead one by one, and there are fewer and fewer people alive, but he didn't expect that the two old partners who had the best relationship back then would not forgive themselves until now.
"Old Zhu, don't be like this, I'll call and ask, maybe the two old men think I don't have enough experience and didn't introduce you to the old man?" Liu Sheng said a little tactfully.
At first glance, this old Zhu has some gaps with the two old men in the family, but Liu Sheng's grievances in the previous generation are not easy to evaluate, and it seems that there is still a bit of a secret.
"No, you bring this Xuande furnace back, and as for those two old guys, let him watch it." Zhu Lao's neck stiffened, and he said stubbornly: "You tell those two old guys that there is a surname Zhu in Chang'an, but he is not afraid of shadows, the clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid." After speaking, he stuffed the Xuande furnace into Liu Sheng's arms and didn't care, so frightened that Liu Sheng hurriedly hugged it
"Uh, okay." Liu Sheng watched the old man pick up the teacup, said sneeringly, and pulled up Guan Fei, who was still a little dazed, and walked out of Yongxuan Hall. (To be continued......)
