Chapter 23 The Great Prosperity and the Well-off

"Hey, lad, do you take these old things?

Just as Chang Xian was about to leave, an old voice from the side interrupted his plan.

Chang Xian turned around to look, only to see an old man who looked about sixty or seventy years old, smiling and walking over with a few things.

"Hello uncle!"

Chang Xian saw his intention at a glance, and there was a little more honest and kind smile on his face.

"Young man, aren't you a collector of old things? Can you see how much I can sell for these things? ”

The old man was also a self-acquaintance, and he casually handed over the things in his hand.

"Hey, uncle, let's put it on the ground and watch it."

Chang said happily.

The elderly are old, and if they shake their hands, things will be embarrassed if they fall to the ground, right?

"Okay, then put it on the ground!"

Seeing that this young man seemed to have a set, this uncle didn't ink, and put all the things in his hand on the ground.

There are three things, a jade bowl, a jade Ruyi, and a very big money turtle.

Out of politeness, Chang Xian casually picked up the jade bowl and looked at it.

It's less than five seconds....... Put it back in.

I picked up the jade Ruyi casually and looked at it.

Less than five seconds...... I put it back again.

I picked up the money turtle again and looked at it.

Less than five seconds...... I put it back again.

"Uncle, I can't see these things of yours!"

Chang Xian shook his head and smiled, but he didn't expect to encounter a "landmine" when he went to the countryside for the first time.

It's a bit interesting to have a fake model for that bowl, but the buddy doesn't have any spiritual sense!

"Can't see it?"

Hearing Chang Xian say this, the old man's originally smiling face immediately collapsed, "These things were dug up when my family moved the ancestral grave, is there any fake?"

"No, no, no, I didn't say they were fake, I was young and short-sighted, I couldn't see for sure, it was my stuff that didn't get home!"

Chang Xian smiled, straddled the legs for three rounds, and waved his hand in a chic manner: "I saw you back!"

"Hmph, you dare to come out to shovel goods when you are young and don't understand anything, you, it's better to go back and study for a few more years."

Listening to the tone of the old man's autumn sun in the back, Chang Xian shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

There are still few sweeping monks like the old man of the table lamp!

"Collect old furniture, old porcelain, jade seals, bamboo, wood and bronze, and the four treasures of the study!"

When he walked to the bottom of the target's three-story building, Chang Xian began to shout loudly.

An aunt stuck her head out from upstairs and shouted, "Hey! Collect the rags! Do you want to draw?"

"Yes, but we have to see the goods first!"

He rode crookedly, and when he saw this face, seven steps, a vermilion gate, tiles were spread from head to tail, and there were lions holding drums on both sides.

The gate was not closed, he parked the tricycle in the courtyard, and the aunt came down, holding a scroll of paintings in her hand, and looked at them one by one.

This scroll is not framed, and there are five in all.

There are three pictures of the same subject, all of which are painted roosters, with different expressions, which is very interesting.

One is a golden rooster facing the sun, with one leg independent and imposing;

One walks with wings under the grape trellis, with a leisurely expression;

One is a rooster pounced on an insect, with angry eyes and wings like iron, majestic and majestic.

The inscriptions of the three paintings are all "seals".

Although Chang Xian doesn't know who this gentleman is, the painting art of these three paintings is really amazing, and it is definitely first-class among ancient and modern masters, especially the artistic conception of the three paintings "independent" - "walking" - "majestic", this is not tailored for Chang • King • Xian?

Another painting is called "Bamboo Banana Moon Yin", from the title it is known that it is a fine work of five people, and the "Yinlu" Mr. is also among them, although it is not as good as a closer look, but the whole work is fresh and elegant, the artistic conception is ethereal and profound, the composition is ingenious and strange, and the ink color is appropriate, which can be called a poetic masterpiece.

To the back one, oops, I'm always idle.

It is a fan, and the room layout seems to be in the style of the Ming Dynasty......

Damn, how did you come up with this, especially since you're still painting on the fan, what are you trying to do?

I've never seen such a brazen person!

Later, I saw that the signature was "Tang Yin", and it was really this brazen person!

"I said aunt, this thing is an obscene (anti-harmony) filthy ~ item, why do you still keep this at home?"

"Who's to say it isn't! My family loves to draw, and I turned it out two days ago......"

The aunt was heartbroken, frightened, and suspicious, "That old man who doesn't cultivate!"

Chang Xian didn't bother to talk to the old lady and said with a smile: "That's not it, now I'm already enlightened, as long as I don't show it to the child, it's fine." In this way, there are a total of five paintings, you quote a price, and I will ask for it!"

"Yo, I don't understand this, you can watch it." The aunt sells paintings behind the old man's back, and she is a little flustered.

Now the wind of collecting has just revived in the land of China, most people's sense of antiques is not strong, now it is better, I know that some things are valuable, and they were sold as scrap more than ten years ago, and the larger the volume, the more valuable they feel. A pair of Taishi chairs is fifty, a pair of round stools are twenty, and a pen holder is three......

Chang Xian spent a long time, looked at the face of this family's door, and said tentatively: "Two hundred yuan a piece, a total of one thousand yuan, what do you think?"

"A thousand dollars, it's an old man's baby, this ......"

"Then I'll grit my teeth and stomp my feet, two thousand yuan, I also see that you fit your eyes, and you can't be taller."

"Okay, two thousand is two thousand."

The aunt felt that she had earned 2,000 yuan for nothing, and she threw out a feudal dross, and her face was full of joy.

"Alas, young man, I still have a pair of bottles here, which I won't need much in the future, can you take them here?"

Maybe it's a good mood just got two thousand yuan in hand, or maybe it's that this young man is pleasing to the eye, the aunt smiled.

"Collect! Auntie, you take care of me for a living, this is to lift me, why don't you accept it!"

If you are always happy, you can say that the most important thing in life is to choose, especially for customers.

"Hey, the guy is really good at talking, so you wait a minute, I'll get it......"

Auntie's legs and feet are neat, and she goes in and out. It didn't take two minutes for a pair of large bottles to be placed in the middle of the day.

"Frightened! Auntie, this is your dowry when you were a daughter, your family is solid enough!"

Chang Xian flipped his thumb: "No wonder Auntie, you are so knowledgeable and courteous, you don't treat people like ordinary people, it turns out that you are everyone's lady!"

Chang Xian is not blind flattery, he has done historical and folklore research with his mentor, this is a pair of dowry porcelain, although the bottom is Kangxi, but it is definitely not Kangxi, the most popular in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, the land was ceded several times and the compensation was paid, the treasury was empty, and the imperial kiln factory was laid off and had to find money to eat, so it began to burn some porcelain for large private households.

This type of dowry porcelain came in pairs and was particularly popular at that time. The neatness of this bottle painting is the traditional dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, the dragon and the phoenix are down, although it is not as good as the things of the Kangxi Dynasty, but the glaze is gorgeous, and there is some meaning of Kangxi emerald blue, which is called "well-off" in the industry.

On the other hand, the official kiln porcelain of the Kangxi Dynasty is called "Dakang".
