Chapter 266: Barn Jar

Fang Qi returned to the hotel and looked at what he had in his hands, his face full of excitement. Although this bead is not a night pearl, his value is no less than Cixi's night pearl, nor is it inferior to Sui Houzhu in transmission.

And there is a story about this jewel, legend has it that Confucius left the country and wanted to go to the state of Chen. Halfway through, he saw two women picking mulberry. On a whim, Confucius chanted a poem to two women: 'The southern peach has long branches. A woman casually replied, "Master You Chen will run out of food." Jiuqu Mingzhu can't wear it, so come back and ask me to pick mulberry girls. ’

When Confucius arrived in the state of Chen, he was not welcome. Moreover, the doctors of Chen Guo and Cai Guo also sent troops to besiege Confucius, and sent a nine-song pearl for Confucius to pass through with a thread, and if he could not pass through, he would not lift the siege. No matter how hard Confucius and his disciples tried, they could not thread the thread through.

In a hurry, Confucius suddenly thought of the words of the mulberry picking girl, "The pearl of Jiuqu can't be worn, come back and ask me to pick mulberry Niang." "Now that we're desperate, maybe they can really help. So the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, so he sent Yan Hui and Zigong along the way to find the home of the mulberry girl.

When Yan Hui and Zigong arrived at the woman's house, her family lied that the woman had gone out and brought them a melon to entertain them. ”

Seeing that he had guessed his dumb riddle, the mulberry girl came out to meet the guest. The mulberry picker said to the two: "If you want to wear the pearl of Jiuqu, you can use a way to apply honey next to the pearl hole at one end of the pearl, and then tie an ant with a thread and put it on the pearl hole at the other end of the pearl. If the ants refuse to drill. Just smoke it. ”

Confucius followed the method said by the mulberry girl, and sure enough, he put the nine-song pearl on the thread and was able to get out of the siege.

Moreover, in the classics of all dynasties, there are also many records about the nine song beads. In the poem "You Chunhua Temple" by Lu You in the Song Dynasty, there is "ants wear beads and nine songs, and bees brew honey in a thousand rooms." "Su Shi's" Jin Ding turned Danguang to spit out the night, and the jewel pierced ants and made trouble overnight, and Chen Jianzhai's "Nine holes through the needle can be obtained." The ice silkworm spits cold waves in the sun. ”

There are records of the nine beads, but there have not been a few times in history, and many people are full of doubts about the authenticity of the nine beads, but they did not expect that the legendary nine beads can be found in this small shop in Europe.

Fang Qi finished the day, in fact, it was just to explore the structure of the nine beads, as well as to appreciate the pine chrysanthemum double chicken poetry bottle.

In a luxurious manor, an old man looked at a small yellow bowl in his hand, his face full of joy. The yellow glazed dragon pattern bowl of the Xuantong period is definitely a fine product.

"Xiaoyue, this time is good, this is the real thing, 30,000 yuan, it is definitely half price." Hearing the old man's words, the girl on the side suddenly showed a hint of surprise and joy. didn't expect Fang Qi to really lie to her.

"Xiaoyue, who bought it for you this time. Thirty thousand, definitely an expert? "Hear grandpa's words. Zhan Tai Lingyue couldn't help ringing, he didn't know Fang Qi's name at all, and he didn't even have Fang Qi's phone or photo.

"Grandpa, this is what I bought from a big brother I met on the street, he is a mainlander, no more than two years older than me. And he himself bought two very beautiful pieces of porcelain. They were all bought in a nearby antique store, a genuine one, and a large plate that seemed to be a copy of the Ming Dynasty. It cost more than 20 million. ”

"The Ming Dynasty imitated Yingzheng? You girl is really, don't talk nonsense if you don't study hard. The people of the Republic of China are the people of the people, and the era of imitation is Yongzheng. It's not Yingzheng, there is no good porcelain during Yingzheng, at most it is pottery. At that time, most of the things were mainly metal and jade, and after the Han Dynasty, ceramics began to be valued, and relatively hard glazed pottery began to appear. ,

After the Tang Dynasty, fine porcelain began to appear, and the porcelain at that time could be regarded as truly high-quality porcelain. Even now, it's exquisite, little girl, you're in luck today. Is there a phone number from him that I will ask him to come and show me tomorrow when I celebrate my birthday? Hearing the old man's words, Zhan Tai Lingyue was stunned for a moment.

"Grandpa, I don't have his phone number, and I don't even know his name." Hearing Zhan Tai Lingyue's words, the old man couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hehe, Xiaoyue, you are not hiding, I will not interfere with any kind of boy, and with such eyesight, it is absolutely extraordinary." Hearing the old man's words, Zhan Tai Lingyue suddenly became angry.

"Grandpa, I really don't know him. It's just that I suddenly met yesterday, and here's the thing" After telling the events of the day, the old man suddenly looked at Zhan Tai Lingyue in surprise, he originally thought that Zhan Tai Lingyue had planned it for several days, but he didn't expect that it was just a mainland youth that Zhan Tai Lingyue casually found and bought these things.

"Didn't he already inquire about it, and deliberately lured you to the bait?" Hearing the old man's words, Zhan Tai Lingyue was also stunned, but then denied it, although Fang Qi appeared very coincidentally, there was absolutely no such motive, not to mention that Fang Qi didn't even leave her name and phone number, the whole Paris was so big, Fang Qi met him again, Fang Qi really did it on purpose.

"No way, I don't have many friends around me, and this is the first time I've been to an antique store, and no one has told me before, how could he know that I was going to an antique store. And he bought 20 million things today, which is not fake, and after today, none of us will know who is who? ”

"Twenty million francs, Satsuki, do you remember what this thing is? Is he being deceived or is this itself acting, we can see through this thing? "Twenty million, even their family can't come up with so much money for a while, not to mention a young man buying an antique, although I often hear more than 10 million antiques now, but it's not really common, and it's like an imperial green jadeite, which can be met but not sought.

"I don't know, but that antique shop is near our house, grandpa can go and ask, with grandpa's old spicy, he must be able to ask or something?" Hearing his granddaughter's words, the old man couldn't help but stare at Zhan Tai Lingyue, but he also agreed with his granddaughter's idea. A few steps away, and he also wanted to see what it was, it was worth 20 million.

An hour later, the old man returned home with a photograph and a documentary. The shopkeeper was friends with the old man and knew each other, after all, the old man was also an antique collector, and he often visited their shop, and the road was not far, so the two knew each other by then. And in addition, Zhan Tai Lingyue is also particularly eye-catching today.

Unknowingly, Zhan Tai Lingyue caught a golden beetle in his eyes, so the boss was polite when he arrived, and he took out the photos and information of the things without hesitation.

"Xiaoyue, this person is not simple, he is young, he can tell the truth of this thing, and he can talk about a low price of 20 million, hehe, what an interesting young man, it's a pity, if you meet him next time, you must take him to your home to do it." Hearing the old man's words, Zhan Tai Lingyue's psychology suddenly showed a trace of curiosity.

"Grandpa, is this thing really worth 20 million?" Looking at her grandfather's appearance, Zhan Tai Lingyue's psychology couldn't help but show a trace of worry and excitement.

"Value. I've been looking at this bottle for a long time, it cost 10 million back then, and I don't dare to buy it even now, not to mention now, I thought it was at least 30 million or more! But I didn't expect to be taken down by that young man for 20 million, it was really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and there were talented people in the country, old, old. ”

Collecting depends not only on eyesight, but also on financial resources. has eyesight but no financial resources, just like the twelve true immortals who have mana but no magic weapon in the god list, they are chased and beaten by apprentices who have been cultivating for several years with magic weapons. Looking at good things can only be unattainable, and finally sighing,

The next day, Fang Qi still came to the jumping market in Paris, without the oil bottle of Zhan Tai Lingyue, Fang Qi would be nostalgic for a long time at each stall.

"This gentleman, it is impossible to return this thing after it is bought, in your antique market in China, after the money and goods are cleared, it is found that it is fake, and it will not be returned, so you can only consider yourself unlucky. What's more, this thing is still authentic Jin Dynasty pottery, and it is impossible to return it. ”

Fang Qi looked over, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, this is a long-established pottery, but it is not a fake, but this is a spiritual artifact.

The barn jar is a kind of porcelain that appeared in the Three Kingdoms period of China, also known as the soul bottle soul pavilion, stacked plastic jar, etc., which evolved from the five-joint jar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the shape is like an altar.

This barn is 42 cm high, with a belly circumference of 72 cm and a base diameter of 15 cm. It consists of two parts: upper and lower.

The upper part is a two-storey pavilion with a pile of plastic decoration, the upper floor stands a pavilion in the middle, each of the four corners stands a que, and there is a kneeling figurine on each side. And the four corners of the lower floor also have a que, there is a memorial arch on each side, and there are two kneeling figurines on each side of the other two. It focuses on the castle-like pavilion buildings and luxurious life scenes where wealthy nobles lived during their lifetimes.

The lower half is a jar, and the abdomen is molded with three groups of orcs and three groups of dancing figurines. Because food was considered the most important material in life at that time, it was used as a funeral offering for the deceased to eat in the underworld.

Looking at the two of them, one is a young man from China, and the other is a foreigner. Looking at the cunning in the eyes of foreigners, Fang Qi couldn't help but smile, he originally thought that foreigners were easy to deceive, but now it seems that one is better than the other. Some time ago, Wei Lun, as well as those foreign collectors who offered Fang Qi a reward, now this seller, Fang Qi did not meet a foreigner who was easy to deceive. (To be continued......)
