This is a blue and white dragon pattern brush wash. It is very exquisitely made. The dragon head in the pattern is high, circling and flying, and the scales are clear. It carries a strange majesty and appears to be particularly energetic.
Bai Ming was no stranger to this piece of porcelain. He had seen porcelain exactly like this one at the Zhengzhou Porcelain Exhibition.
Unfortunately, what he saw that time was a fake. It was only after Mr. He and the others reminded him that he knew it was a fake. It could also be said that it was something that made him wince.
Among the three forgeries in the porcelain exhibition, one was exactly the same as the one in front of me...
Bai Ming looked at the porcelain carefully for a few times, and finally shook his head.
"Master, is this from the Qianlong period?"
Xiao Yan raised his head and asked in a low voice. Did he not know about the major case that shocked many people?
"It looks very similar!" Bai Ming said softly, without agreeing or shaking his head.
"That must be true?"
Xiao Yan was a little confused about Bai Ming's answer, but he didn't think much about it and asked another question.
Bai Ming thought for a moment, and finally shook his head gently and said: "It's hard to say, it may be true, or it may not be!"
"What?"
Xiao Yan was really surprised this time. Bai Ming was not like this at ordinary times. He was his apprentice, and he did what he was supposed to do. He rarely said such ambiguous words to himself.
With a little helplessness on his face, Bai Ming said again: "It's easy to talk about other things, but I really can't guarantee this. Forget it, there are some things you don't understand, so don't ask!"
This piece of porcelain, Bai Ming looks like it is genuine and belongs to the Qianlong Dynasty.
Unfortunately, he had seen the same thing once, and the conclusion was exactly the same as the one in front of him. In the end, it turned out to be a fake. Bai Ming knew that this porcelain had been swapped, so it was possible that it was the genuine product that had been swapped.
But who can guarantee that only one piece of the dropped porcelain was produced?
Bai Ming didn't know the final result of the case. Only a few people knew it, and he didn't ask about it. It was really difficult for him to make a conclusion at this time.
"Two hundred thousand, let's transfer it!"
He and Xiao Yan were talking, and Li Yang had already completed the transaction.
The shop owner offered a price of 250,000 yuan. Li Yang and Wang Jiajia bargained with him for a while, and finally bought it for 200,000 yuan. The 200,000 yuan was in euros, which was almost two million yuan.
It was fifty thousand cheaper, so Li Yang was satisfied.
"Li Yang, is this the one?"
After Li Yang completely completed the transaction, Bai Ming asked in a low voice, since Li Yang bought this piece of porcelain, it should be the genuine one that was lost.
Bai Ming didn't realize that his trust in Li Yang exceeded himself, and what Li Yang recognized must be true.
"Yes, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's an unexpected surprise!"
Li Yang seemed very happy. He had promised to bring back the other two lost pieces of porcelain if he had the chance. He had this intention, but he did not have much confidence.
The world is so big that it is unimaginable.
If the thing falls into the hands of some of the collectors who cherish it, it is purely a wishful thinking for him to get it back, or if something happens to the porcelain, it will never come back.
Porcelain is a fragile thing, so this possibility is not impossible.
"It is indeed an unexpected surprise, congratulations!"
Bai Ming smiled and nodded. He knew everything here and was truly happy for Li Yang. Lin Lang also nodded silently. He didn't know much, but he had heard something.
Xiao Yan was the only one who was confused there. It looked like Monk Zhang Er was confused. He didn't know anything.
After Li Yang wrapped the porcelain, he asked the shopkeeper about the origin of the porcelain. The antique dealer only told him that he had taken it back, without giving any details.
"Let's go on and take a look at the front!"
But these were not important to him. At this time, Li Yang was still full of excitement and his nature was completely raised.
He can also send this porcelain directly back to Mingyang. The Mingyang Museum is now much better than before. The treasure that was left behind last time has attracted many people to visit.
Adding this piece will attract more people, and the reputation of Mingyang Museum will also increase.
If all three pieces can be gathered together, when this matter is decrypted in the future, it will become a good story in the Mingyang Museum. At this time, Li Yang also believes that this day will eventually happen.
After visiting several stores, Li Yang bought a few more things.
The value of these pieces is not very high, the total does not exceed 100,000 euros, there is a very good set of ivory carvings, and several luxury items belonging to ancient European nobles.
He himself does not have a particularly deep research on foreign antiques. He bought a few pieces so that he could learn for himself and enrich the museum's foreign collection.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was twelve o'clock, and the farm gate finally opened.
One point is the time when the big auction is held, but they will open early, provide buffet lunch, and allocate private rooms.
The auction is in secret mode, and the guests are all in the private rooms. However, there are only 500 private rooms here. If you want to use the private rooms, you need to pay a large fee.
Those who have not booked a private room, or do not want to book a private room, can only go to the lobby to bid.
"Mr. Li, is the harvest good?"
As soon as he arrived at the farm gate, Mr. Gao walked over with a smile. The assistant beside him was carrying two small boxes. He also bought some things during this time.
However, he didn't buy as much as Li Yang. Liu Gang and Li Yang both had things in their hands, which were several times more than him.
"It's okay, isn't it the same with Mr. Gao!"
Li Yang laughed. He was very happy to be able to take back the Qianlong blue and white brush washer today. He could not naturally express his feelings when he spoke.
"Why are you smiling so happily and missing something again?"
Dean Huang walked over from behind Li Yang. He was empty-handed and didn't buy anything.
Although Dean Huang is the dean of the Forbidden City, his financial resources are not strong, and he can even be said to be average. There are things here that he likes, but unfortunately he cannot buy them.
"You are joking, how can there be so many leaks for me to pick up?"
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then showed a hint of helplessness. He didn't expect that Dean Huang, who was always strict, would joke with him like this. Mr. Mao and Teacher Cai also agreed with their faces.
"Maybe not for others, but for you, I can't say that!"
Dean Huang shook his head with a smile, followed by Teacher Cai, Bai Ming and even Lin Lang.
However, Bai Ming and Lin Lang knew that Dean Huang had really wronged Li Yang this time. He really didn't make any mistakes today, but he just encountered something that surprised them.
"How could you be so happy if you didn't pick it up?"
Dean Huang is still smiling. In fact, for him, the more leaks Li Yang picks up, the better. If there are more, he will have more good treasures to appreciate after he retires, and his life will be more abundant.
"You'll know just by looking at this!"
Li Yang handed over the box with the blue and white brush in his hand. Dean Huang had a little doubt on his face, but he didn't pay much attention. He took it directly and opened it next to him.
The Qianlong blue and white dragon pattern brush washer immediately appeared in the box.
"nice one?"
Mr. Gao's eyes lit up slightly. He likes calligraphy and painting, and naturally also likes stationery. This brush washer is really good. If he had seen it first, he might have bought it.
"Is that it?"
Mr. Mao and Teacher Cai were stunned at the same time, with surprise on their faces.
They were all present at what happened. They knew the same thing as Bai Ming, and they were also blinded by the porcelain.
However, it was Li Yang who took out the porcelain at this time. Like Bai Ming, they did not doubt the authenticity of the porcelain.
"Okay, very good!"
Dean Huang was also stunned for a moment, and then seemed even more excited than them.
Mr. Gao, Xiao Yan and Lin Lang would not understand Dean Huang's feelings at this time, but Bai Ming and the others could understand a little bit.
These batches of porcelain were lost from the Forbidden City, and Dean Huang must bear some responsibility. Now that he has encountered one of them here, it is impossible for Dean Huang to remain indifferent.
This is also true. Dean Huang was indeed very excited when he saw this piece of porcelain.
He had never thought that what Li Yang would take out would be this thing. Unlike Bai Ming and the others, Dean Huang was a top master after all, and he could tell the authenticity of this brush wash.
This is indeed the one that was excavated from Licheng County and then lost.
"Li Yang, thank you very much!"
After several minutes, Dean Huang said softly and sealed the box again.
Since he promised that all the porcelains recovered by Li Yang would be put into the Mingyang Museum, he would naturally not make any demands on these porcelains. For him, it would be the greatest satisfaction for them to return to China.
"You are too polite. This is what I should do. I am also surprised to meet it!" Li Yang waved his hand hurriedly.
"It seems that they are really destined to you and Mingyang. Anyway, I still want to thank you!"
Dean Huang nodded slightly and looked at Li Yang with some envy.
Naturally, what he envied was He Lao. He Lao had a keen eye for talent and unearthed Li Yang's super-large diamond, which was brighter than all gold.
At the beginning, he and Mr. He put pressure on Li Yang and made a request, which was to ask Li Yang to retrieve the three missing pieces of porcelain. However, they did not have a time limit. In Dean Huang's mind, Li Yang could use ten years.
, even if it takes twenty years to get these things back.
For them, getting things back is the most important thing.
He never expected that Li Yang would retrieve the second piece so quickly. Looking at it now, maybe Li Yang would be able to complete this request and get all three pieces of porcelain home in a short period of time.
In this way, this embarrassing incident in the Forbidden City can be regarded as regaining some face.
This is the reason why he has always been grateful to Li Yang.
"Dean Huang, let's go in first. It's better to book the room early!"
Lin Lang stood up and said that he had been to a big auction before and knew that the private rooms were very nervous. If he didn't go early, even he might have to squeeze into the hall.
It's not that the environment in the hall is bad, but it's a pity that there are too many people. Lin Lang doesn't like to be in that kind of situation.
"Okay, let's go in right away!"
Dean Huang also understood all this and nodded immediately. Private rooms are very expensive, but there are many rich people here. They can use one large room without having to separate them. The private room fee will be paid by those rich people.
Already.
