96. Appreciation
Sun Wu and Ye Zifeng did not go directly to the Sun family's courtyard, but went to Lido Villa for the night, and only went to the Sun family's courtyard early the next morning.
When Ye Zifeng arrived at Sun Beiyuan, the head of the Sun family was already standing outside the door to greet him, it should be Sun Wu who reported what happened in the black market last night to the head of the family, knowing that they had found the magic weapon, the head of the Sun family would go out to greet him.
"Brother Ye, it's hard work."
The head of the Sun family warmly held Ye Zifeng's hand and affectionately called Ye Zifeng Brother Ye. If at this time, if someone sees the head of the Sun family smiling at a young man, it is estimated that even his eyes will fall to the ground.
The tea is still a big red robe, but it is brewed by the head of the Sun family himself.
Sun Wu put the white-glazed porcelain statue of the pot-bellied Buddha and the Qin brick on the coffee table, because the Sun family only needed one magic weapon, of course, Ye Zifeng only brought one Qin brick, and the other Qin brick was placed in the Lido Villa.
Everyone gathered around the Buddha statue and Qin bricks, looking east and west, while listening to Sun Wu's eloquent recounting of what happened last night. When they heard that the white-glazed porcelain statue of the pot-bellied Buddha was taken for one million, everyone took a breath of cool air, but when they heard that the Qin brick was only photographed for more than 5,000 yuan, and it was still buy one get one free, everyone laughed happily again.
The head of the Sun family stared at the white-glazed porcelain statue of the Buddha and looked at it, he has been collecting cultural relics and antiques for a while, although the collection is mostly good, but he has a certain ability to appreciate porcelain.
"This Buddha statue has beautiful shapes, smooth lines, and both gods and shapes, and should be a fine product in Dehua white porcelain. Now Dehua white porcelain is generally between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan, such as this kind of Buddha statue boutique, if you meet a destined person, the market price to 400,000 or 500,000 is not too much. But a million is a bit more expensive? Could it be that this Buddha statue is γγγγγ The head of the Sun family suspected that this was He Chaozong's porcelain sculpture, but he picked up the Buddha statue and looked at it again, but he didn't find He Chaozong's inscription. Therefore, he looked at Ye Zifeng curiously, wanting to know the answer from Ye Zifeng.
"Do you have a magnifying glass here?" Ye Zifeng asked, the head of the Sun family likes to collect, and naturally there is a magnifying glass at home, and someone will soon bring the magnifying glass.
"Uncle Sun, look hereγγγγγγ" Ye Zifeng pointed to the folds of the Buddha statue's armpit robe and said.
The head of the Sun family took a magnifying glass and pondered the cloud pattern on the base of the Buddha statue repeatedly, and for a long time, he was stunned and looked at Ye Zifeng in surprise: "What is the word of the small seal, is that legend true?" β
"It should be true, do you think this million is worth it?" Ye Zifeng told the head of the Sun family with certainty.
"What legend?" Sun Wu stood beside him in a daze and asked curiously.
The head of the Sun family put away the magnifying glass and said seriously: "This white-bellied Buddha statue should be the porcelain sculpture of He Chaozong, He Chaozong, also known as He Lai, is a native of Dehua, Fujian, and a famous porcelain sculptor in the Ming Dynasty." He Chaozong lived in the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty. Wanli is the year name of Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong.
Ten years before the reign of Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun, due to his young age, the court was listened to by his mother Mrs. Li, and the Empress Dowager Li handed over all military and political affairs to the prime minister Zhang Juzheng to preside, Zhang Juzheng implemented a whip law in the court, so that the society developed rapidly at that time, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was called Wanli Zhongxing in the world.
Later, Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong was in power, and Empress Dowager Li was old, concentrating on eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and building a Buddhist hall in the palace. Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun for filial piety, secret tribute porcelain Buddha statue, enshrined in the Buddha hall. Among the many tribute Buddha statues, Empress Dowager Li is very fond of Dehua this pot-bellied Buddha white porcelain sitting statue, according to legend, this Buddha statue is carefully made by He Chaozong, because it is to pay tribute to the imperial court, all Buddha statues can not be inscribed, otherwise it is disrespectful, it is to punish the nine tribes. Legend has it that He Chaozong was very satisfied with this elaborate white-bellied Buddha white porcelain seated statue, did not hold back, and left an inscription on the Buddha statue, but no one found this inscription from beginning to end, and later, it became a legend. This white-bellied statue of the Buddha has been lost in history, and I can't imagine that it will appear here now. β
"How much is that worth?" Sun Cai stood next to him and couldn't interject, but he cared about whether this Buddha statue was worth anything.
"This Buddha statue is a treasure of He Chaozong's own sculpture, in good condition, and has been worshiped by the royal family, contaminated with royal incense, if you meet someone who is destined, two or three million will also be willing to invite home to worship." After speaking, the head of the Sun family told Sun Wu: "Ah Wu, wait a minute, send this Buddha statue back to Brother Ye!" β
"Uncle Sun, this was taken by Sun Wu, I am just responsible for making a bid, I think it is better to stay in the Sun family." Ye Zifeng saw that the head of the Sun family was going to give the Buddha statue to himself, and hurriedly explained.
"I brought it here to open everyone's eyes, and I will send it over for Brother Ye after I am done."
Sun Wu is the second-generation leader of the Sun family, and he quickly understood what the head of the Sun family meant. Seeing this, Ye Zifeng couldn't excuse himself again and again.
Subsequently, the head of the Sun family picked up the Qin brick, slowly stroked the brick surface with his hand, felt the delicate texture of the Qin brick, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that this Qin brick is so intact, even the edges and corners have not been touched." It's been more than 2,000 years, and it can't but be said to be a miracle, which is also a blessing for our Sun family. β
Sun Wu told everyone that this Qin brick was originally wrapped in a hard shell, which was formed when Xiang Yu burned Xianyang Palace, and it was because of this shell that this Qin brick was so well preserved.
"Didn't Xiang Yu burn down Afang Palace?" Sun Cai is not completely unlearned, and he also knows about Xiang Yu's burning of Afang Palace.
Ye Zifeng told Xiang Yu again whether he burned Afang Palace or Xianyang Palace.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, Afang Palace thought that the scale of Xianyang Palace was too small and did not match the identity of the first emperor, so he built a palace south of the Wei River.
But Afang Palace only built a part, is a half-pull project, only built the front hall, the history books record its "east and west 500 steps, north and south 50 zhang, can sit 10,000 people on the top, can build five zhang flag." Zhou Chi said, from His Royal Highness to Nanshan. The top of the South Mountain is considered to be que. "And the other building, the upper roof, is just a few rammed earth foundations.
Later, the archaeology explored an area of 200,000 square meters in Afang Palace, and also excavated and cleared an area of 1,000 square meters, but only a small number of pieces of red clay were found, and a large amount of herbaceous ash was not found. On the site of Xianyang Palace, a large number of relics of red clay were found, and Xianyang is the capital of Qin, "Chu people have three households, and the death of Qin will be Chu", so it is reasonable for Xiang Yu, the Chu people, to set fire to Xianyang Palace, the capital of Qin, in order to vent the anger of the Chu people.
After listening to Ye Zifeng's explanation, everyone suddenly realized. In fact, this Qin brick is a good evidence, the hard shell of the Qin brick can only be burned by fire, it can be seen that Xiang Yu really burned Xianyang Palace, not Afang Palace.
Later, Ye Zifeng told the head of the Sun family that this Qin brick was hard and very suitable for the magic weapon, because this magic weapon was eventually buried in the bridge pier and could withstand heavy pressure.
"This is also the fate of the Sun family, and we can find a suitable magic weapon in such a short time." Ye Zifeng said with a smile.
"Ha, I think the biggest fate of the Sun family should be Brother Ye, God favors our Sun family, and let you appear when the Sun family needs it most." The head of the Sun family patted Ye Zifeng's shoulder and said with emotion.
"Uncle Sun, it's serious, I can't afford this!"
"I know in my heart that I am still the head of the Sun family, and I can still see things with my eyes. Brother Ye, don't be modest."
"Uncle Sun is in love! Now that the magic weapon has been found, let's see if we can arrange for someone to make a lead box of the same size, and at that time, we will use the lead box to bury this Qin brick under water. Ye Zifeng said.
"Okay, this is no problem, it can be done in the afternoon."
Hearing Ye Zifeng say that he wanted to make a lead box, Sun Wu immediately took out a ruler, measured the size of the Qin brick, and arranged for someone to make a lead box.
"Did I get all the diving equipment I prepared for you?"
Yesterday, Ye Zifeng explained to the Sun family that he was ready to prepare diving equipment, and once he found the magic weapon, Ye Zifeng was ready to dive underwater, find the location of the water inlet, and use the magic weapon to suppress it first, so as to prevent the qi veins from continuing to leak out.
