Chapter 396: Turning the Heart Bottle
Wu Huaisi did not refuse this arrangement. He is not only a disciple of Kang Shilin, but also a secretary of the ministry, he represents more than himself. For the sake of the officials, he couldn't move the box behind Kang Shilin.
So the box given to him is now for his family to sit. In order to show his respect for the teacher, he came here to accompany him.
After Kang Shilin finished drawing cards, the two servants went down, and the people in the seats downstairs began to draw cards.
But it's just a number plate for bidding, and everyone doesn't care, just reach into the box and touch one out, and it's done, and it's going very fast.
Wu Zong and the others ate some fruit and chatted a few words, and after drawing cards below, Xu Zhou came to the stage again.
He stretched out his hand to the left and gestured: "The number plates of the guests on the left and some of the guests upstairs are in this area." ”
The empty space there was somehow surrounded by a wooden fence in a semicircle, and there were rows of small men in uniform standing inside, all holding a sign like the one that modern athletes were holding when they entered the field, and the sign had a number written on it.
These guys are trained. As soon as Xu Zhou said this, the little guys immediately quickly raised the signs in turn, and the numbers were from small to large.
Zhao Ruxi saw sharply that the "eleven" drawn by the master was in this team.
She looked at the people sitting on the left below, all of whom were nobles.
Wu Zong chuckled lightly and said, "It seems that Senior Brother's sign is on the right." ”
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhou said again on the stage: "The number plates of the guests on the right and some of the guests upstairs are in this area. He gestured to the right of the audience.
The little guys there also raised signs in turn.
Is this preparing for the nobles and the powerful ministers to fight in the ring?
Not only Zhao Ruxi, but everyone else understood Xiao Lingyan's intentions.
Cunning!
You must know that the nobles and the powerful have never dealt with each other. Although many powerful ministers are also from noble backgrounds, the powerful ministers who have held power are still very annoyed with the nobles who make them do things tirelessly, not to mention those powerful ministers from poor families.
Now let the nobles and the powerful ministers fight, and they can definitely fight for a high price.
Xu Zhou said: "There are three little guys standing at the door of each box, and after a while, everyone takes a fancy to something and wants to quote, so tell the little guy directly, and the little guy will notify the person holding the sign and quote for everyone." The same goes for the seats below. ”
At this time, three rows of small servants came in from the outside, lined up in the three aisles on the left and right below. Outside the box, there were also three small servants, who were originally serving tea and pouring water, and said hello to everyone in the box.
Seeing this, Zhao Ruxi sighed.
is still too backward in this era, Xiao Lingyan can only make this decision. Otherwise, there is an electronic bidder, which can completely solve the problem, and there is no need to make it so troublesome.
Seeing that everything was ready, Xu Zhou asked someone to take the first auction item of the day.
"This is the only kind of porcelain in the Great Jin Dynasty, called 'Zhuanxin Bottle'. It is in a hollowed-out bottle, set with a rotating inner bottle, on which are painted with the characters of the four seasons. When we turn the outer bottle, it is like a marquee, and the landscape characters in the inner bottle will be presented to us one by one. ”
Xu Zhou said as he said, and there was a small guy next to him who was holding a vase and turning it, so that everyone could watch the vase.
"The reason why it is said to be the only one is because one of the vases with the motif of 'auspicious celebrations' has been consecrated into the palace. This is the only one left outside the palace. Apart from that, there is no third such vase in the world. ”
Whether it is in the box or the people in the seats below, everyone goes to court every day and can restrain themselves. Therefore, except for when Gonggong Xie came and Xu Zhou introduced the sign-holding guy, there was some movement, and the rest of the time was basically quiet.
But at this moment, everyone couldn't help but "buzz" and discuss.
Everyone present is rich and expensive, what good things have not been seen? Therefore, everyone came to participate in the auction, except for the face of the emperor and the five princes, because there was no entertainment, purely to see the excitement. There is not much expectation for the items to be auctioned.
In their opinion, what is auctioned is nothing more than antiques, literati calligraphy and paintings. Only these things can be speculated.
didn't expect Xiao Lingyan to come up with such a thing.
They haven't heard of this thing, they haven't heard of it.
Although the people sitting in the back were far away from the people in the box, they couldn't see what the vase looked like. But from a distance, the whole white embryo, the bright color painting can still be seen, at least the vase is in good shape, not to mention that the shape is so magical.
Moreover, being able to make tribute is a guarantee of quality.
Zhao Ruxi's mood is much more complicated than others.
She remembers that in her previous life, at the London auction on November 11, 2010, the Qing Dynasty Qianlong pastel hollow "auspicious more than enough" rotary heart vase, which is known as every porcelain in China, was auctioned for a high price of more than 550 million yuan.
The one that was presented to the palace was not only a heart-turning bottle, but even the name was the same, needless to say, this was definitely Xiao Lingyan's copycat.
This guy is also fighting hard to collect money.
"In order to give everyone peace of mind about buying, we will let everyone take a closer look at these items in the auction." As he spoke, Xu Zhou made a gesture to the little guy who held the vase.
The little servant walked off the stage with a vase, accompanied by a middle-aged man, and went up the stairs here.
Everyone knows this middle-aged man, who is the great eunuch Qin Gonggong next to the second prince.
Xiao Lingpu is older, and he has participated in the government for an early time, and he usually asks Gonggong Qin to do anything, and almost everyone in the court knows Gonggong Qin.
With the Qin Gonggong by his side, the prince will not lose face, and the princes and ministers will not dare to be presumptuous, so as to avoid someone from observing the vase for a long time.
That little guy can walk around with a vase, and it is estimated that he is also a strong martial artist who can protect the vase.
Kang Yannian is not interested in these, he came today just to accompany his old father.
Seeing this, he frowned and said, "Isn't it going to take a long time?" ”
"That can't be done. If you want everyone to spend money to buy it, you have to let everyone see it clearly. If you like it clearly, you will spend a lot of money to buy it. Wu Zongdao.
Everyone nodded.
The vase took turns to look at it in the box, and Xu Zhou didn't let it cold on stage, he told the story of the heart-turning bottle.
It is rumored that a hidden porcelain master had a deep love affair with his wife Floice, but the porcelain master did something wrong, and his wife left sadly. In order to change his wife's mind, the porcelain master groped for several years and fired these two bottles. Not only to change hearts, but also to concentric. His wife finally returned to him.
In order to show his friendship for his wife, the porcelain master never made a third heart porcelain.
Zhao Ruxi was a little amused when she heard this story.
Go to these antique markets in Panjiayuan, there are as many stories as there are. If it weren't for the fact that there was an emperor in this era, there would definitely be only one of these heart-turning porcelains.
