Chapter 165: Tang Xuanzong's Green Crown for His Son
Lu Xin brought in a total of nine treasures, all of which were metal antiques such as bronzes, gold and silverware, and the appraisal center of this auction house quickly transferred an expert in bronze, gold and silver to help identify them together.
The rule here is that the goods come that night, identify them that night, and ship them that night, just in case they have too many dreams at night.
Not long after, the old expert found out the origin of the Tang crown, and smiled bitterly at Lu Xin: "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid you're going to lose!" ”
Lu Xin was taken aback: "Old man, why do you say that?" ”
A strange smile appeared on the old expert's face: "This is the crown of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's son Shouwang Li Mao." ”
"Is there anything wrong with Li Mao's crown? How can I lose it? ”
"Li Mao's first princess was Yang Yuhuan, and later Yang Yuhuan was snatched away by Tang Xuanzong, Li Mao became a cuckold son who was cuckolded by his father, no matter how low the price of his crown is, it may be unsuccessful, because this hat, no, this crown is unlucky!"
Shouwang Li Mao is the eighteenth son of Tang Xuanzong, and his mother is Concubine Wu Hui, who favored the harem back then, but his favorite and known identity is Yang Guifei's ex-husband. In the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan, King Shou married Yang Yuhuan, who was "raised in the deep boudoir and unknown to others" as a concubine, and the life after marriage was happy and sweet, but the good times did not last long, and in the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Li Mao's mother, who was deeply favored by Tang Xuanzong, hung up. Tang Xuanzong, the merry son of heaven, missed Concubine Wu Hui very much, depressed, and the three thousand fandels in the harem in the past seemed to Tang Xuanzong at this time, all of them were like earth, and the taste was the same as chewing wax. Someone recommended Yang Yuhuan, the princess of Shou, who was full of charm, beautiful and proficient in music and dance to Tang Xuanzong, and Xuanzong peeked at his daughter-in-law taking a bath in Huaqing Pond. moved crooked thoughts, forced Yang Yuhuan to voluntarily become a female Taoist priest, and prayed for the queen mother in the palace. Yang Yuhuan lived a life of a true lady treated like a queen in the palace, while Li Mao could only live a depressed life in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion that did not dare to be angry or speak, and wore a "green hat" given by his father. In the fourth year of Tianbao, the emperor's father remarried a new princess to the 27-year-old Li Mao, and ten days later, the emperor named Yang Yuhuan as a concubine, Li Mao and Yang Yuhuan have completely drawn a line since then, one is a "son". One is the "mother". Later, during the New Year's holidays, the longevity king Li Mao occasionally met the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan, and he had to kneel down to worship "Niang Niang Chitose".
When Lu Xin heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh: "I didn't expect to pick up a green hat, it's really unlucky!" However, it is not excluded that some people have a curiosity mentality. Let's put up a reserve price of 2 million! ”
The bronze Buddha statue was confirmed to be a bronze Buddha statue in the early years of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Chen Guohou was enshrined in the main palace. Yang Guang returned from the crusade against Chen Guo and was left in the river, but because it was the most ordinary bodhisattva shape. The auction price is not particularly optimistic.
The bronze tripod was also confirmed to be a bronze cookware in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the early years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, because there have been similar tripods in China, and the shape is very similar, so the auction price is not particularly optimistic, but it will definitely be much higher than the price Lu Xin bought.
The other six items have also been confirmed to be genuine, and it is estimated that the auction price is more than twenty or thirty times higher than Lu Xin's original purchase price.
The two old experts looked at Yang Dayan with admiration: "It's worthy of the big size of Big Eyes, blue is better than blue, let the two old guys go to touch the gold street to see, it is impossible to pick out nine of them are genuine, you can do it, you can not give your father a hand, you can be on your own!" ”
Yang Dayan looked ashamed: "Two old gentlemen, don't kill me, it's my junior brother who really sees these nine things, this Mr. Lu!" ”
The two old experts stared at Lu Xin in his early twenties suspiciously, they originally just thought that Lu Xin was a rich second generation of fun antiques, and he dared to come out to hunt for treasures with the help of Yang Dayan, but he didn't expect that he found these treasures himself.
Lu Xin didn't have time to be polite to these two old experts, and said with a smile: "When will the filming start?" ”
"There are already more than 30 good things we have identified, and those dignitaries who are tired of playing cards and women will come over one after another!"
Lu Xin and Yang Dayan patiently waited for those buyers to come, and there were more than a dozen people waiting with them, they were all people who had just touched good things in Touching Jin Street, compared with Lu Xin, who completely touched all good things and nine good things, they generally only started one or two, and often one good product and one fake.
Lu Xin later learned that some people do that, it is called hiding clumsy, even if they have special techniques, they are not as sharp as Lu Xin, fortunately this is in the dimly lit Jinjin Street, if it was in other places, Lu Xin would have been topped up a long time ago, and there would be trouble in the future.
The auction began, and Lu Xin and Yang Dayan, who were the sellers, also walked into the venue and sat there to watch.
The order of auctioning antiques in this auction is neither according to the order of the seller's registration, nor according to the price, but according to the age, the earlier the cultural relics of that era, the more the auction first, Lu Xin's Western Zhou bronze tripod was ranked first.
Lu Xin was a little nervous, if he was the first one, he would be unsold, but it was a bad sign.
The auctioneer is a girl with red lips and white teeth, a snow-white shirt covered with a red suit, a clean ponytail, and a crisp and pleasant voice, although young, her aura is calm: "Everyone, please see, this is a bronze tripod...... As we all know, the tripod is the most representative of all the bronze utensils that can represent the supreme power, the concept of the earliest power of the world in China is directly related to the birth of the tripod, such as the world, if you are interested in the world, whether it is wealth or power, you can buy a tripod back to collect. Ding's collection value is very high, and Dingsheng International launched a gold and silver dragon head ornament of the Warring States period with no reserve price, which was sold for 16.896 million yuan...... The starting price is 500,000 yuan, and the price increases by 100,000 each time! ”
I don't know if it was the words of this female auctioneer that moved the ambition of these dignitaries to win the world, or other factors, people kept raising the price, and they kept raising this very ordinary Western Zhou bronze tripod to four million, which was bought by a coal boss.
Lu Xin was very satisfied with this result, he only spent 200,000 yuan.
After a few other people's goods, it was Lu Xin's turn to the bronze statue of the Sui Dynasty, with a starting price of 200,000 yuan, and the final transaction price was 1.1 million.
After a few more people, it was Lu Xin's turn to be the crown of Li Mao, the longevity king of the Tang Dynasty.
When the auctioneer talked about Shouwang Li Mao, many people below were at a loss, so they had to continue to bring out the story that Li Mao was Li Longji's son and Yang Yuhuan's ex-husband, and someone below laughed and said: "Li Mao's father gave him a green hat, this is Li Mao's green hat!" As soon as these words came out, the female auctioneer didn't know how to continue, so she could only stubbornly announce a starting price of 1 million and a price increase of 200,000.
At first, there was a cold silence, but then a woman held up a sign: "One million and two million!" Another rich woman also held up a sign: "Add 200,000!" The third rich woman shouted, "Two million! ”
All the men were embarrassed to raise their cards, and the bidding game was all carried out among the rich women, and the last one soared to five million before it was taken away by a rich woman who did real estate. (To be continued......)
