Chapter 468 The Magical Nine Dragon Jade Cup (Part 1)
"Well, of course, I'll go and bring those pieces of porcelain to you." Mr. Su quickly nodded in agreement. After saying that, he turned around and quickly brought a larger
The red wooden box is also antique. It is an old box that has aged well.
"Xiao He, those porcelains are in here." After carefully putting down the box, Mr. Su introduced, "The few pieces of porcelain in here were given to me by my old friend. Although the porcelains are not very good,
It’s of little value, but I have treasured every piece of it and have kept it until now, for dozens of years. Take a look at it first, and you will definitely be able to tell that these are just ordinary old porcelain.”
As he spoke, he opened the lid of the box and saw several pieces of porcelain neatly placed in the box, including small jars, bottles, and other types of porcelain.
"Such a strong light!"
When the box was opened, He Qing's eyes couldn't help but light up, because under his eyes was a thick "treasure light", which was stronger than the previous exquisite old rosewood box, and compared with that piece
The fake "Kowloon Jade Cup" is naturally more serious.
This situation surprised He Qing, indicating that there was a treasure inside, but Mr. Su and the others ignored it and did not discover it.
At that moment, Mr. Su took out the pieces of porcelain in the box one by one and asked He Qing to inspect and identify them. In fact, the appraisal of the batch of porcelain in front of him had already been concluded. Mr. Su no longer had any hope. In their eyes,
They were just a batch of shoddy and worthless folk kilns. If his old comrades hadn't entrusted him with keeping them, he would have disposed of them as rubbish.
"Xiao He, these porcelains are not very good, are they not good?" After a while, Mr. Su asked casually.
He Qing shook his head gently, but didn't say anything. At this moment, his eyes were focused, and he was looking at one of the porcelains with all his attention, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Seeing this, Mr. Su and Suning standing aside couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know why He Qing was so serious when appraising the ordinary porcelain, as if he saw something unusual.
After a long while, He Qing raised his head and said, "Grandpa Su, you are right. This batch of porcelain is just a product of folk kilns in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The workmanship is average, there are not many highlights, and the collection value is not high."
.But it means a lot to you. After all, it was given to you by your old comrade-in-arms, and it has great commemorative value."
Mr. Su smiled slightly and said: "Yes, just because they were given to me by my old comrade-in-arms. Otherwise, I would never have collected them until now. I just put these ordinary folk kilns on the market. They were given away for nothing.
Others may not want it.”
He Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Did the old man say anything when he entrusted these porcelains to you?"
Mr. Su replied: "He asked me to collect it for him, but unfortunately he died heroically in the Liberation War and he had no relatives, so I can only collect these antiques for him, including the 'Kowloon Jade Cup'
', Haha, you have identified that jade cup as a fake. It seems that he also misjudged it at that time."
After a pause, He Qing asked again: "Then did he talk about the origins of those antiques?"
Mr. Su nodded and said: "Well, he said that those treasures were given to him by a fellow from Jingnan. The fellow was once a rich man in Jingnan. However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the brutal Japanese army soon
They invaded the southern part of the capital. All the people living here suffered. His family was not spared from this disaster. His family members were killed and his things were robbed. When he was desperate, my old comrade saved him in order to repay him for his life-saving kindness.
, he presented a batch of antiques brought from home as a gift, and that’s how these antiques came to be.”
"That's it!" He Qing nodded in sudden realization.
Mr. Su shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really can't figure it out now. Why did that fellow risk his life to take these not-so-valuable antiques out of his home? It seems unnecessary, right? I thought that 'Jade Dragon Jade Cup' before
It has a lot of potential, but now I don’t have any hope, it turns out it’s nothing more than that.”
"That's not right!" He Qing shook his head vigorously. At this moment, he had a serious look on his face.
"What's wrong?" As soon as these words came out, Mr. Su and Suning couldn't help but cheer up. Looking at He Qing's face, he obviously had different opinions.
He Qing said: "I don't think this matter is that simple. There must be a reason for this fellow to value these antiques so much."
"Is there any special reason?" Mr. Su asked. He really couldn't think of a reason for that person to do that. The condition of these antiques was already a certainty. Everything was clearly there, and there was nothing special about it.
In such a place, it is impossible to imagine that a batch of ordinary antiques could have any special meaning.
He Qing whispered: "I don't know this now, but things are definitely not what we think. Grandpa Su, let me take another look."
"Well, let's see." Mr. Su nodded and agreed. Although he felt that He Qing didn't know what he was doing, he also knew that the young man in front of him had unique eyesight. Since he said that, let him do it again.
If you do some research, you might find something unexpected.
After that, He Qing lowered his head and once again looked at the batch of porcelain attentively.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard him exclaim: “Grandpa Su, I know!”
"What do you know?" Mr. Su asked hurriedly.
Hearing the sound, Suning's face couldn't help but change. Unexpectedly, He Qing really saw something.
He Qing looked up at Mr. Su and said, "Look carefully at this little porcelain pillow."
As he spoke, he gently picked up one of the small porcelain pillows and pointed to a certain part to explain: "If I read correctly, this pillow is not an ordinary pillow. It has a mechanism on it that can be opened through the mechanism.
Pillow, the pillow is empty inside, there is space.”
"Oh, really?" Mr. Su said in surprise and joy, "Is there still such a situation?"
"Yes!" He Qing nodded solemnly, "The small mechanism should be here, and the porcelain pillow can be opened from here."
As he spoke, his fingers were gently pressed on it a few times, and then a clear "click" sound was heard.
The pillows really opened up.
At that moment, both Mr. Su and Suning couldn't help but widen their eyes. Mr. Su exclaimed loudly: "It's incredible!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
