Chapter 116: Apocalypse Blue Flower
The woman who can make Ye Jiuqing distracted to deal with on the day of his wife's death, it can be seen how heavy Hua Xishuang is, I hurriedly rushed back to the Sifang pawnshop, Gongjue and Tian Ji had nothing to do in the pawnshop, I took them to see Hua Xishuang together.
In the backyard of the pawnshop, I saw Hua Xishuang, she stood in the room with her back and casually admired Ye Jiuqing's antiques, her back was straight and elegant, with a natural temperament, and she exuded the atmosphere of being unapproachable.
When she turned around, I was somewhat surprised, Hua Xi's skin was as white as the snow was lingering, her eyes were as cold and resolute as frozen soil, the high bridge of her nose showed sharp lines, and the beauty was awe-inspiring, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were proud.
A peach blossom buckle bracelet lies on the wrist casually, which makes the skin white and shiny, and also makes her look very elegant and exquisite.
I'm not surprised by Hua Xishuang's appearance, rumors about this woman have always heard a lot from Ye Jiuqing's mouth, an ordinary antique dealer, can make both black and white as guests, presumably his ability and experience will not be less than Ye Jiuqing.
But the woman standing in front of us is at most thirty-five years old, and at this age she can turn her hands into clouds and rain in this industry, which makes me really amazed.
Hua Xishuang's eyes looked behind us, and presumably only Ye Jiuqing could enter her eyes.
"Shopkeeper Ye has something at home that is difficult to get out, and when he learned that he ......, "I suddenly didn't know what to call Hua Xishuang, and I couldn't go on with the rest of the words."
"It's a guest at the door, don't mind calling me Sister Hua." Hua Xishuang smiled indifferently.
"The shopkeeper Ye knew that Sister Hua's visit should have been greeted in person, and it happened that the shopkeeper's deceased wife died on the day, and the pain of losing his wife made the shopkeeper unable to extricate himself, and he has been closed for three days." I am neither humble nor arrogant, and I look at each other with flowers. "The shopkeeper has mentioned in front of me many times that Sister Hua has a life-saving grace for him, and specially told Sister Hua to explain the matter, and I have full authority to take the shopkeeper to deal with it, and I hope that Sister Hua Haihan will be inconvenient and inconvenient."
"I don't know that Brother Ye has a family matter to deal with, and it is a pity that Shuangshuang's presumptuous visit is abrupt, I should have compensated Brother Ye, if it wasn't for the big matter, I would not have come to the door at this time to disturb him." Hua Xishuang said politely, although the voice has an innate affinity, but it is calm and strong. "Brother Ye is righteous, and he has a good reputation in the industry, since it is Brother Ye who asks you to deal with it on your behalf, Brother Ye can see the person who can see it, and it is inconvenient to cherish the double."
The people from the pawnshop brought tea in, I asked Hua Xishuang to sit down and talk slowly, she sat down in a partial position, how to say that she also has a life-saving grace for Ye Jiuqing, I have to help Ye Jiuqing give this side enough, stand aside and wait for her to sit down first, and then sit next to her.
I sat in the right seat, that was Ye Jiuqing's position, Hua Xi looked at me meaningfully when he took the tea, looked up and down with a puzzled look, and smiled: "Brother Ye I have also been here a few times, and the few people who follow Brother Ye are seniors, but I have never seen anyone sit in Brother Ye's position, I didn't expect that you can be on an equal footing with Brother Ye at a young age, but there are very few people in this circle who can sit in Brother Ye's position, how can you know each other, I haven't asked yet, who are you?" ”
I was asked by Hua Xishuang like this, and suddenly wanted to laugh, Ye Jiuqing is the person who values the rules the most, in his words, there can be no rules without rules, Feng Cheng, General and Zhao Yan They are all people who understand the rules, not to mention the other guys in the pawnshop.
It is estimated that Hua Xishuang was a little surprised to see that I could sit in Ye Jiuqing's position, but I didn't know that in this pawnshop, I was the one who didn't care about these rules at all, and no one taught me when I was a child, anyway, I can sit wherever I want, Ye Jiuqing They never bothered with me, and over time I became even more unruly.
"Gu Chaoge, the apprentice of the pawnshop, has always followed the shopkeeper, and he is a nobody in the circle, Sister Hua, you are a big man, how can you know a nobody like me." I replied with a smile as I brought my tea. "Please tea."
"You're polite, an apprentice can take it with full authority, Brother Ye's subordinates are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers." replied nonchalantly.
"Don't underestimate this apprentice." The voice came from the door, and Zhao Yan walked in with a kind nod and smile at Hua Xi, the two must have known each other for a long time. "This kid went to the pawnshop in the four directions at the age of seven, the shopkeeper stayed by his side but polished it with his own hands for more than ten years, the shopkeeper has all the skills that he has taught him, he is our master here, but the shopkeeper didn't let him out, if his hand is loose, let this kid be a dragon across the river, and he will definitely turn over a thousand waves."
"It turned out to be Brother Ye's high apprentice, but it's a pity that he is looking away." Hua Xishuang saw Zhao Yan enter, stood up and smiled politely. "I know that Brother Zhao is the king of Hades, and I can make Brother Zhao praise him like this, it seems that I am afraid that this matter has been settled."
"The king of Hades is good to say, the little ghost is difficult, who in the ghost market of Xiaoguanmiao doesn't know the name of the pawnshop Gu Xiaoye." Zhao Yan went up and asked Hua Xishuang to sit down and refill her with tea with his own hands. "After thinking about it, the shopkeeper was worried that Chao Ge would not be able to enter your eyes, and he was inconvenient to come back and specially sent someone to let me tell you, handing over the matter to Chao Ge is like handing it over to him, your business is not done, the shopkeeper said, he closed the pawnshop and retired."
"Brother Ye lifted, there is no other meaning to cherish Shuang, but I didn't expect that Brother Ye has always been steady, I have something to ask for here, and before I say anything, Brother Ye can agree, which shows that Chaoge has come out of the blue." Hua Xishuang looked at me with a smile, and then looked at the palace lord and Tian Ji. "These two again?"
"It's all my friends, this is Gong Jue, and his master is Gong Yu." I pointed to the palace lord and introduced.
"Thousand Mechanic Gong Yu?!" Flowers cherish the eyebrows. "It is said that Gong Yu is skillful and can open all the organs in the world, who in this industry does not know the name of a thousand machine craftsmen, but Su asked Gong Yu to accept apprentices and only accept women, how is this?"
"Gong Jue is an abandoned baby, adopted by the master since he was a child, and he is not the master's apprentice, but he has heard and seen it around her, and he has a few glimpses of it, and he dare not say that he inherited a thousand mechanics, and Gong Jue is afraid of insulting the master's reputation for this ability." The palace lord replied calmly.
"Gong Yu is a senior, although I have never met her, but the reputation of a thousand machine craftsmen is far and wide, you are edified by her side, presumably it is also a true inheritance, Uncle Ye personally trained the people naturally, plus the disciples of the palace seniors, it seems that the people sitting in this room today are all the powerful people in this circle in the future." Hua Xishuang smiled coldly and arrogantly.
"This is a field chicken...... Field utensils. "It's better to be stable in front of Hua Xishuang, but I can't change it after a while." He is in charge of ......"
"Tian Qi......" Hua Xishuang didn't wait for me to finish, suddenly interrupted my words, and looked at Tian Qi with a puzzled gaze. I see that you are familiar, I know a person who grew up with you, and it just so happens that the surname is Tian, I don't know your father's surname? ”
"Old man......" Tian Ji scratched his head innocently, he seemed to stop talking every time he mentioned his family, and it took a long time to answer. My father is an ordinary person, and people like Sister Hua will never know him. ”
Hua Xishuang nodded thoughtfully, and did not continue to ask, Zhao Yan saw that we all knew Hua Xishuang, got up and said goodbye: "If there is anything you can discuss, the pawnshop is left with me to take care of things now, and I have to go out to the counter to stare." ”
Hua Xishuang hurriedly and politely got up to send Zhao Yan out, this woman is obviously not small, she is enough to cover the sky with one hand in the circle of tomb robbery, even Ye Jiuqing has her face, but Hua Xishuang has no shelf at all, and she is still very polite in front of Zhao Yan.
Such a woman is terrifying, and the combination of grace and power is incomprehensible.
Waiting for Hua Xishuang to sit down again, I asked seriously: "I don't know what we can do for Sister Hua this time?" ”
"It's a pity that Shuang can gain a foothold in this circle, in addition to relying on friends from all sides to face, the most important thing is that I can do what I promised others, someone found me a few days ago, I am inconvenient to disclose the identity of this person to you, but the origin is not small, in short, you and I can't afford to provoke the big man, this person asked me to find something for him."
"What's that?"
"Blue and white pine and cypress flowers."
"What year?"
"Year of the Apocalypse."
"......" I was stunned to look at the flowers, the Ming and Qing dynasties were the peak of blue and white porcelain, especially the Yongle and Xuande periods were a peak in the development of blue and white porcelain, known for its exquisite production.
But tomorrow the beginning of the year, due to political turmoil, resulting in the withering of all industries, the ceramic industry is also depressed and deserted, six years after the Apocalypse, the imperial court has not ordered to build official kilns, so the Apocalypse has very few annual vessels.
And the blue and white pine and cypress flowers that Hua Xishuang is looking for can be regarded as a representative of the blue and white of the Ming Dynasty, which has been fired in the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty, but if it is the year of the apocalypse, it will be troublesome.
"Sister Hua, the official kiln stopped in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and the last batch of porcelain fired before the kiln was stopped, there is a pair of blue and white pine and cypress flowers, the lines on the pine and cypress are exquisite, and the two flowers must be put together to present a complete ornament, but this pair of blue and white pine and cypress flowers is basically the last glory of the Ming blue and white flowers, so it is extremely precious, among which the pine is now collected in the Forbidden City, and the pine and cypress have been missing, and it is a pity that the pine and cypress are difficult to gather." I said to Hua Xishuang seriously. "So far, no one knows the whereabouts of Songyao, so I'm afraid this matter is tricky."
"Of course I know this, and coming to Uncle Ye for help will certainly not bother Uncle Ye to find a needle in a haystack." Hua Xishuang took a sip of tea and understated it.
"So, Songyao already has a whereabouts?" Tian Ji asked.
"Have you heard of Lu Qiao?" Hua Xishuang asked rhetorically.
The three of us looked at each other and shook their heads blankly, and Hua Xishuang told us unhurriedly that Lu Qiao was a native of Huqiu, Suzhou, and the palm seal eunuch of the 24th Yamen of the Twenty-fourth Yamen of the Tomorrow New Year, and had been appointed to supervise Suzhou.
Lu Qiao served Xizong since he was a child, went through the Xizong and Sizong dynasties, and was deeply trusted by two generations of emperors.
"After Lu Qiao's death, Sizong gave him hundreds of fertile fields as a good city, and Sizong personally made an obituary and ordered a tomb to be built for it." Hua Xi Shuang calmly continued to say to us. "Lu Qiao only loves porcelain, especially the blue and white of the Ming Dynasty, and the blue and white pine and cypress flowers are Sizong's beloved things, but in the end there is only a cypress bottle in the world, but there is no pine bottle whereabouts, it is said that after Lu Qiao's death, Sizong remembered his merits and rewarded a batch of precious porcelain as a funeral object."
"The whereabouts of the pine bottle in the blue and white pine and cypress flower goblet have been unknown, since Sizong is so important to Lu Qiao, maybe the pine bottle is in Lu Qiao's tomb." I nodded thoughtfully and muttered to myself.
