 "Qingqing, your bargaining skills are really good!"

Shen Yu patted his sister Qin on the back and praised Gu Qingqing.

However, Pei Yuqin seemed to care about Gu Qingqing's feelings. She stopped coughing and quickly gave Shen Yu a wink with her beautiful eyes. The meaning was very clear, not to show affection in front of Gu Qingqing.

Shen Yu scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't actually want to show affection, he just did it subconsciously when he saw his sister Qin choking on her drink.

He picked up the teapot and coffee cup and poured drinks for the two eldest ladies respectively. Shen Yu took a bar of chocolate and ate it. Although it was not noon yet, the morning was really busy since he visited Mr. Wu. Now it can be said that Hungry.

While eating, Shen Yu looked at the blue and white gourd vase in front of him, and was completely convinced by Miss Qingqing.

I spent 5,000 yuan to buy a calligraphy and painting, and finally asked the stall owner to buy an ancient book and an official kiln porcelain. This bargaining skill is simply difficult to describe in words.

Shen Yu asked himself that bargaining was a good deal, but it was not as good as Miss Qingqing.

Seeing Shen Yu and Pei Yuqin being so affectionate in front of her, Gu Qingqing felt very uncomfortable. But when Shen Yu praised her, Gu Qingqing still had the same cheeks and fair face as if she was drunk.

Seeing this, Pei Yuqin smiled and said: "Qingqing, since Qinan has been identified as an official kiln in the Ming Dynasty, it must be correct. It's better to put the bottle back into the safe quickly. Things like porcelain must be collected carefully."

Gu Qingqing snorted lightly, "Brother Yu's dream has always been to open his own private museum. I will keep these for Brother Yu. When the museum opens, it will also help Brother Yu build his reputation."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yu directly covered his forehead and was touched. He was really touched. This is the so-called most difficult thing to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.

He rubbed his brows lightly while thinking, "There are two more antiques, a calligraphy and painting and a thread-bound book. Get out of here as soon as possible. This is a place of right and wrong."

But Gu Qingqing didn't want to let him go so easily. When Shen Yu went to pick up the large thread-bound book on the table, Gu Qingqing picked up the notebook on the table and handed it over.

"Brother Yu, these are some of my experiences in identifying the blue and white flowers of the Ming Dynasty and the blue and white flowers of the Qing Dynasty that I have recorded these days. Can you help me take a look?"

Before Shen Yu could speak, Pei Yuqin had already helped Shen Yu pick it up, "Don't hesitate, as if I won't let you give Qing Qing a look, hurry up, record it well, and praise Qing Qing. If there is anything wrong, Qing Qing should be praised." No criticism is allowed, but praise is also required."

"The white-glazed blue and white flowers are formed by fire, and the glaze of the flowers is clear and transparent."

The first sentence on the first page of notes is the heartfelt praise of blue and white porcelain in Gong Shi's "Poetry Song" of the Qing Dynasty.

Next, is all the essence of the porcelain appraisal of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Basically, there are records of complete vessels handed down from generation to generation.

Keep scrolling down, and there are even some appraisal techniques from many contemporary porcelain appraisal masters. They are not just those found in newspapers or books, but are real appraisal skills that are hard to find at the bottom of the box.

Obviously, Gu Qingqing should have learned from some appraisal masters through the relationship with Mr. Gu, Mr. Xu, or her father, Gu Yongcheng, and her mother, Xu Huiping. Otherwise, she would definitely not have been able to obtain these appraisal insights by herself.

Closing the note, Shen Yu said very seriously: "Qingqing, the note is very good. There is no fault that can be found. It's just that this note contains the experiences of many famous porcelain appraisal masters. I have never asked for these." Before the appraisal master agrees, you must not let outsiders see it."

Gu Qingqing knew what Shen Yu meant, "Now that I know Brother Yu, I won't show it to outsiders. But Brother Yu, you have never been an outsider to me."

Shen Yu smiled coquettishly, then quickly lowered his head and picked up the thread-bound book on his desk.

This ancient book is very thick and in good condition. There are no insects, dirt or missing pages.

There are three large characters written on the cover: "Hui Pian Lu". There is also a line of small characters outside, "Wanli Wuxu, finely carved by Jinling Fuchun Hall."

"Hey, it's "Wai Zhi Lu"."

The title of the book Hui Pian Lu is very strange.

The so-called "鈺" is a kind of deer, and its tail can be used as a Taoist whisk.

However, this is not a Taoist scripture, but an ancient book compiled by Wang Zhongyan of the Southern Song Dynasty. It tells some historical facts and anecdotes between the two Song Dynasties.

The book has a total of twenty volumes, divided into "Previous Record", "Back Record", "Three Record" and "Remaining Words".

The whole book is about 184,000 words, which was considered a big book in ancient times.

Turning over the first page, there was a big Chinese character Yu on the first page. Shen Yu opened his eyes wide when he saw the Chinese character Yu.

"This??? Isn't this the fine copy of Fuchundang that I picked up when I was a boy but was given away by my father in exchange for money the year before last?"

The word "yu" above is a mark made by Shen Yu.

This book is one of his collections of ancient books. It was a large piece of paper he picked up at a flea market in Chuzhou when he was in high school. He usually regarded it as a treasure and often couldn't bear to put it down when he read it. However, in the end, his father took it away and sold it to others. , which made Shen Yu feel heartbroken when he thought about it, but he didn’t expect to encounter this book again today.

"Fate, what a fate! I went around a lot and saw you again."

Shen Yu read "Wai Zhi Lu" countless times when he was a boy. What impressed him most was a story in the remainder of the book, called "Wang Dingguan Conquered Dansha."

Wang Dingguan is the son of Wang En, the commander of Yuanfu Palace, and the surname of Wang Dingguan and this "Hui Pian Lu" are both from the same family.

Wang Dingguan was very talented and learned, and he had poetry and books since he was a child. Therefore, he was highly appreciated by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and was known as: Young Noble Official.

However, at the age of twenty-eight, his official position is already from the palace of the third rank to the supervisor.

The eunuch in the palace is not a eunuch in a certain hall of the palace, but the highest official position in the palace. From the third rank, he is in charge of court etiquette and daily necessities required by the royal family. Basically, he can manage the entire royal family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, including the palace pharmacy.

Rich in wealth and power, they belong to close ministers of the emperor.

But it was his job in charge of the palace pharmacy that cost him his life.

One day, Zhao Ji ordered Wang Dingguan to come to the palace and said to Wang Dingguan: "I got a purple-gold elixir from a Taoist priest. After taking it, you can see for a long time. You can try it on me first."

."

Wang Dingguan did not doubt that he had it, kowtowed and thanked him, took the elixir on the spot and drank it.

First of all, I don’t believe in taking the elixir of Immortality King Dingguan. If it could lead to immortality, those Taoist priests who made elixirs would have ascended to heaven long ago. Why are they still bothering in this mortal world?

And as the young eunuch of the palace, Wang Dingguan also knew something in his heart. He knew very well that those Taoist priests did not dare to make pills for Zhao Ji blindly. If Zhao Ji was eaten to death, none of them would be able to escape, and they would all die.

The so-called elixirs of longevity are just supplements that are useless but do not harm the body.

But this time he miscalculated.

As soon as he ate it, Wang Dingguan felt something was wrong, as if he had swallowed a ball of fire. His chest was irritated and stuffy, and after a while, smoke even started to come out of his mouth and nose.

This frightened Zhao Ji so much that he quickly ordered the rescue.

It's a pity that no one can save me.

Seeing that Wang Dingguan was dying, Zhao Ji could only send someone to take him home. Wang Dingguan died before he got home.

After the burial, more strange things happened.

There was a sound of peeling and pecking in the coffin in the mourning hall, which really frightened Wang Dingguan's family.

I don’t know when, a burst of flames burst out from the coffin, not only burning the coffin mourning hall, but also burning hundreds of surrounding households before it could be extinguished.

Of course, this is definitely an exaggeration, but it also shows how unreliable Emperor Daojun is.
