This antique market is connected to the flower and bird market, with an east-west street. Zhen Minglang walked into the antique market from the west and is now heading east.
After passing the antiques, jade, calligraphy and painting, stamps, and books area, Zhen Minglang arrived at the flower area, and then moving forward, there was naturally the bird and pet area.
After finding a bright shop, Zhen Minglang opened the glass sliding door and entered the small house.
Zhen Minglang has indeed been to this shop several times before, but the scene of the shop in front of him has indeed changed compared to half a year ago. It has obviously been renovated.
The area of more than thirty square meters seemed much more spacious than before. After another look, it turned out that there were display windows cut out of the wall. All the small cages that were originally placed on the ground were placed in the display windows at this moment. There were crickets in the small cages.
, there are birds, cats and dogs, it’s so lively.
At this time, several old men were pushing Pai Gow leisurely on a square table, holding big pipes in their mouths, making the hut very warm.
Mingliang is currently playing "World of Warcraft" in front of the computer. Zhen Minglang knows that this kid is a fan of World of Warcraft. When he was in college, he often skipped classes to play this game online, but he didn't expect that the attraction of this game is so strong. As for work, Mingliang is right
It is still so loyal. With this kind of energy, if Mingliang had been born during the Anti-Japanese War, he would have been a loyal minister who would have smiled from side to side. However, everything has its value, and since it is so attractive, it must be good.
thing.
Seeing Zhen Minglang coming over, Mingliang stood up from his chair. In order not to disturb the old man's card game, he let Zhen Minglang go out first.
As soon as he went out, Mingliang said with a smile, "Mingming, please ask me to find the invitation letter. I'm coming. There is an old man in my store who is the retired manager of Jin's Jewelry. You just want a sack of this invitation letter. That's also a sentence
It’s a matter of words.”
Mingliang smiled proudly and pointed with his little finger at a rickety figure. "Did you see that it's him, Mr. Zhuang? He now runs several antique shops and is very powerful."
When Zhen Minglang heard about the antique store, she was still a little excited. She looked in the direction of Mingliang's finger, then looked back at Mingliang and said, "Oh, thank you so much, Liangzi. In fact, I don't even care about asking for this invitation. It's just that
A fan of mine insisted that I accompany her there."
"Oh, it doesn't matter, it's all trivial."
Mingliang was about to pull Zhen Mingliang into the house, but he suddenly saw a cowpea red porcelain bottle in Zhen Mingliang's hand, "Hey, what is this bottle? It looks very beautiful, and the engravings on it are also lifelike. You bought it yourself.
?”
Mingliang saw a lot of bottles and cans, but when he saw the Liuye Zun in Zhen Minggang's hand, his eyes really lit up.
"Yes, I just found it at the antique market." Zhen Minglang pointed in the direction of the antique market.
"How much?"
"Fifty!"
"What? Fifty, you bought this bottle for fifty yuan?" Mingliang was shocked, "Who is selling this? From my humble eyes, this small bottle is a mid-range product, why does it cost thousands of yuan?"
?If you buy it for fifty, you will be rich now."
"Haha, I don't really care whether I get rich or not. I just thought this Liuye Zun was really good, so I bought it." Zhen Minglang said with a smile. Indeed, Zhen Minglang didn't want to make money by picking up leaks. His original intention was just to make money.
To verify the source of spiritual energy, Zhen Mingliang was really unprepared to make money through this Taobao route.
"Well, our brothers are not short of money either."
"By the way, Mingming, I just told you that the old man is the vice president of the Cultural Relics Appreciation Association. He also has a reputation in our antique market. Why don't you show him this bottle and see the price."
Mingliang winked at Zhen Mingliang, and Zhen Mingliang understood that Mingliang meant that if the price was good, he would sell it to the old man here, so as to save himself from having to swing a bottle around.
Zhen Minglang looked at the dark red Willow Leaf Zun bottle. At this time, the spiritual energy in the bottle had been exhausted, and it was really of no use to him.
Of course, with my current strength and experience, I won't be able to keep it in my collection, so I'll sell it. If the price is right and the transaction is smooth, there is no need to keep this Liuye Zun. In addition, you can also do a favor for Mingliang, which is not bad.
After exchanging opinions with each other, Mingliang and Zhen Mingliang returned to the house.
"Mr. Zhuang, my brother has a family heirloom in his hand. Would you be interested in showing it to me?"
While Mingliang was speaking, he had already stood in front of a white-haired old man. Although this old man had silver hair, he was very energetic and the light in his eyes did not show his age at all.
"Oh? What treasure?" Mr. Zhuang put down Pai Gow and looked at Mingliang.
"It's Liu Yezun from the Kangxi period." Zhen Mingliang deliberately interrupted and handed Liu Yezun to Mr. Zhuang.
"Is it a Liuye Zun from the Kangxi period? Let me see." Mr. Zhuang didn't believe that a young man could have an antique from the Kangxi period, so he and Zhen Mingliang completed the transaction of the Liuye Zun.
As soon as Liu Yezun entered Mr. Zhuang's palm, the corners of Mr. Zhuang's eyes suddenly squeezed, and the deep ravines on his forehead were revealed like two car marks. His eyes were fixed on the bottle.
"The color is clear and moist, and the feel is also very good. It can be concluded that it is indeed a cowpea red willow leaf statue fired at a high temperature. How did the little brother get this?"
Mr. Zhuang is a hard-core antiques veteran. For antiques in general, it depends on the provenance of the item. If it was obtained improperly, even if it is a good item, sometimes the buyer is not willing to take it.
"It's a family heirloom." Mingliang grabbed the words and said, "Mr. Zhuang, I think this thing is real and can be worth a lot of money, right?"
He winked again, and then picked up the magnifying glass hanging around his neck. Mr. Zhuang could not put it down and looked at Liu Yezun again.
"Well, well, it's a family heirloom, not bad." Mr. Zhuang looked at Liu Yezun as if he didn't hear Mingliang's question behind him, "The body of this statue is round and smooth, and the gloss is also very good. It was like the cowpea red of the Qing Dynasty.
There are many Liuye Zuns fired, but the only flaw is this dash. At the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center auction in 2009, the transaction price was 1.28 million. Without this dash, the price would not have been lower than this. Now? What a pity.
Two or three hundred thousand less."
"So this Liu Ye Zun is worth one million?" Mingliang didn't hear Mr. Zhuang's sad sigh about Liu Ye Zun, but he heard clearly the price of this statue.
"Let me take another look." Mr. Zhuang couldn't put it down and continued to look at Liu Yezun.
"It seems that Mr. Zhuang has a lot of research on Liuye Zun of the Qing Dynasty!" Zhen Minglang approached Mr. Zhuang now, thinking that he could learn from Mr. Zhuang.
"I also know a little bit about it." Mr. Zhuang said modestly, "Look at the inscription on this foot. It is "Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty". In the 19th year of Kangxi's reign, the imperial court sent officials to Jingdezhen Town in the west of Jiangxi Province to restart the process.
The royal kiln was fired in the imperial kiln. According to the records of "Tao Zheng" in Volume 11 of the "Raozhou Prefecture Chronicles" published in the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign: "In September of the 19th year of Kangxi's reign, the imperial kiln was ordered to be fired.
Xu Tingbi, the lieutenant of the Imperial Palace, Li Yanxi, the chief officer, and Yu Heng, the third-level lieutenant of the Ministry of Industry, were selected to be stationed in the factory within twenty years to supervise the production. The actual estimated value of each finished vessel was successively presented to the emperor for inspection." It took a long time before and after this firing.
It lasted seven years, ending in the 27th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. During this period, exquisite works were produced one after another, both in terms of category and decoration. They were unique and extraordinary. They created a new realm of imperial porcelain in the Qing Dynasty and had a profound influence on later generations. It is known in history as "the style that refers to ancient and modern times.
Use new ideas and prepare clever reserves."
"These are particularly excellent in painting figures, landscapes, flowers and birds. Once completed, their exquisiteness is better than that of other kilns in the Ming Dynasty. There are many innovations in color glazes. They are of outstanding character, colorful and breathtaking. Cowpea red is one of the rare ones.
The beauty is breathtaking, and this piece is a perfect example of that beauty.”
"Oh." Several old friends listened to Mr. Zhuang's talk and couldn't help but marvel at Mr. Zhuang's erudition. Thinking that they usually just push Pai Gow, they didn't expect that they still know the history of these cultural relics so well that they can pick them up at their fingertips.
"Mr. Zhuang is indeed the vice president of the Cultural Relics Appreciation Association!" Mingliang praised,
"I haven't finished yet. The willow leaf vase we have under our hands actually had no name before. It is called "willow leaf vase" because its shape is slender like a willow leaf. It is also called "willow leaf vase" because it is delicate and beautiful like a graceful lady.
It is called "Beauty Shoulder". The cowpea red glaze applied is extremely thick, moist and bright, and the color is elegant and pleasant, just like peach blossoms. Its delicate beauty is indescribable, and the changes in shades give people a sense of the infinite charm of the kiln fire magic."
Zhen Minglang kept looking at Mr. Zhuang and admired Mr. Zhuang's erudition. "Mr. Zhuang, I think the authenticity of this willow leaf vase lies in its base."
Hearing what Zhen Minglang said, Mr. Zhuang's eyes lit up. This young man actually knew that he was going to talk about this next.
"Young man, you are right. The reason why I say this Liu Ye Zun is genuine is because of its soles. You see, the soles of this vessel are dug very deep, and the regular script "Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" is signed on the soles.
Two lines of six characters are written under the fine, moist white glaze. The writing is deep and vigorous. It seems clumsy but not clumsy. It has a unique style that cannot be reproduced by later generations. The outer wall of the foot shows a wide circle of unglazed astringency.
, this is one of the remarkable craft features of "Willow Leaf Vase"."
"Oh." After hearing what Mr. Zhuang said, Zhen Minglang suddenly became more curious about this antique. Even if he could identify the authenticity, he was afraid that he would not be able to say such convincing words.
"Mr. Zhuang is really awesome. Today we, the old brothers, have their eyes opened. I didn't expect that a retired man from a listed company would suddenly turn into a connoisseur."
An old man slightly younger than Mr. Zhuang said.
Zhen Minglang glanced at him and disapproved of his words. Mr. Zhuang himself dealt with jewelry and antiques at Jin's Jewelry, so why did he say anything about it?
"Zhen Minglang, if Mr. Zhuang accepts this treasure of yours for 1.2 million, can you take action?" Mr. Zhuang naturally loves to collect some antiques. For him, money is a piece of paper, and antique cultural relics are
Priceless treasure.
After reading the treasure, Mr. Zhuang naturally wanted to eat it.
"Mr. Zhuang loves this Liu Ye Zun very much?" Zhen Minglang could see that Mr. Zhuang's eyes never left the statue.
"Yes! I just lack Liu Ye Zun in my cabinet." Mr. Zhuang sighed, "But I wonder if my little brother is willing to take action?"
"Didn't Mr. Zhuang just say that the price of Daochong is not worth 1.2 million?" Mingliang leaned forward and asked doubtfully,
"Well, I just said that it might not be worth that price, but it might be higher than that price. Since it is the heirloom of little brother Zhen Mingliang, then naturally I can't treat him badly, right? Besides, isn't he also your friend?
?" Mr. Zhuang said and looked at Zhen Minglang. Zhen Minglang couldn't help but smile at Mr. Zhuang's cheerfulness and arrogance.
"Since Mr. Zhuang likes it and is so happy about it, I have to express my opinion. In fact, I always feel that it is better to stay with people who know more about antiques and care about them more. Money and other things come second.
Since I am a lover of porcelain, I will transfer it to Mr. Zhuang, so Mr. Zhuang does not have to pay the extra 200,000 just because I am a bright friend. If you are willing, the deal will be for one million. And if Mr. Zhuang does not love porcelain,
Porcelain man, if you give me Zhen Minglang two million today, I won’t sell it.”
After saying this, several old gentlemen and Mingliang nearby were stunned, and Mr. Zhuang looked at Zhen Mingliang with strange eyes.
"Okay, there are not many young people today who love porcelain like you. One million is one million, but besides giving you one million in exchange for this Liuye Zun, I have one more thing to ask for."
"Mr. Zhuang, you tell me, as long as I, Zhen Minglang, can do it, I will do my best."
Zhen Minglang just wanted to be friends with Mr. Zhuang. Now that Mr. Zhuang asked him to help, he regarded himself as a friend, so Zhen Minglang was naturally willing.
"Haha, Mingming, good job. Mr. Zhuang is a little embarrassed to say that I asked you to help me with this. Mr. Zhuang, I am old, and my wife is studying abroad. I am a coquettish old man who has no one to accompany me, so I came to push.
Pai Gow. But I felt very friendly as soon as I saw you. I think it would be best if you take some time to come to my antique shop to chat with me, talk about these antiques, and pass on this culture."
Zhen Mingliang never expected that Mr. Zhuang's request would be this. This is a good thing that he has dreamed of. Being able to chat with such a knowledgeable elder is equivalent to reading ten more books.
And there are many things that cannot be learned from books.
"Okay, whenever Mr. Zhuang needs to chat, just call me and I will rush over quickly."
With smiles on their faces, Zhen Minglang and Mr. Zhuang became friends through this transaction.
