"You brat, I just told you to put the bowl away and stop breaking it. Look, just after I said that for a long time, you broke the bowl. Look, I'll burn you!"
"
When Chen Ran and the others rushed into the east wing, they saw Lao Chen holding a box and teaching a seven or eight-year-old boy. There was a broken bowl on the ground, and the milk in the bowl was scattered all over the floor.
Yes, there was even stains on the little boy's clothes. Old Chen slapped the little boy on the head, and the little boy immediately cried out in grievance.
After Lao Chen finished speaking, he put the box on the bed and wiped the milk off the little boy's body while nagging at Chen Ran and the others: "This child is my grandson. Look, he just disobeys me. Why do you ask me to do it?"
, he just doesn’t do anything, I’m really going to be pissed off by him, it would be better for his mother to just throw the child at me and leave her alone!”
"You're a kid!"
Chen Ran and the other three were relieved. They had really had a false alarm just now. It turned out to be just like this. Hearing Lao Chen's nagging, Gao Qiang smiled and replied.
"You guys go and sit down first. I'll clean up and I'll be ready soon!" Lao Chen chuckled and turned around to say hello.
When Chen Ran was about to exit the east wing, Gao Qiang suddenly pulled him and winked at him. Chen Ran followed his gaze and saw an old picture from the 1990s placed in the main hall of the east wing.
There is an old-fashioned cabinet that is more than one meter high, and on the cabinet is a pair of porcelain bottles that look a little primitive.
Chen Ran recognized the pair of porcelain vases at a glance as Jun kiln porcelain vases, one of the five famous kilns.
Jun kiln was produced in Yu County, Central Plains Province. It was called Juntai in ancient times and Junzhou in the Ming Dynasty, so it was named Jun kiln. It has not been handed down for many generations and has a high reputation.
Jun kiln was founded in the Tang Dynasty and went through the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties. It has fine texture and gorgeous glaze colors. There are too many types to mention; there are rose purple, begonia red, eggplant purple, sky blue, rouge, cinnabar, fiery red, and kiln change.
.The most common types of utensils are bowls and plates, but flowerpots are the most outstanding.
The Jun kiln in front of me is rose purple, and the color is extremely beautiful.
"Haha, you can take a look at that pair of porcelain vases if you want. They're just new things!" Perhaps noticing the gazes of Chen Ran and Gao Qiang, Lao Chen said with a cheerful smile. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
Pointing to the small wooden box he put on the bed: "This heirloom of mine is this kind of porcelain. The heirloom is too precious. I was afraid of breaking it, so I bought a new pair and put them in the house. It's fine.
Take a look when you get there."
Hearing what he said, both Chen Ran and Gao Qiang's eyes lit up, and they both looked towards Lao Chen's small wooden box. These pairs of porcelain vases were from Jun kiln. Lao Chen's heirlooms were the same as these pair of porcelain vases, so they were also from Jun kiln.
Well, if it were a Jun kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty, it would be a really good thing.
However, Old Chen was still coaxing his precious grandson, so Chen Ran and Gao Qiang could only wait. As for Ning Wei, he could only stare as he followed Chen Ran and Gao Qiang.
Even when they were idle, Gao Qiang and Chen Ran actually came forward to observe the pair of Jun kiln porcelain vases. The pair of porcelain vases were indeed imitations of new porcelain. Chen Ran could tell after just two glances.
I even used the energy aperture to detect it, but there was no reaction at all.
After watching for a moment, Chen Ran came to his senses and began to look at the east wing of Old Chen's house. When his eyes casually turned to the middle of the counter, his eyes suddenly stopped and his attention was suddenly focused on something.
Attracted.
In the middle of the counter, there is a white porcelain Bodhisattva and a God of Wealth, which are actually things for burning incense. These things are probably found in most families and are very common. Naturally, it is not these two that attract Chen Ran, but
It's an incense burner.
With just one glance, Chen Ran recognized what this incense stove was. It was the famous Xuande stove.
It wasn’t long before Chen Ran entered the antique business. Although he had read a lot of books, Xuande furnaces were not ordinary porcelain after all. They were relatively unpopular. Ordinarily, he didn’t know much about Xuande furnaces, but he was well known in the collecting world.
In a certain issue of the magazine, there was an article that made Chen Ran pay attention to Xuande Furnace. In other words, he first noticed a person and then paid attention to Xuande Furnace.
When it comes to Xuande furnaces, we have to mention Mr. Wang Shixiang, who is known as "the biggest player in Beijing". Mr. Wang Shixiang plays antiques. He can be said to play everything and is good at everything. He is a real big player.
He has developed elegance, culture, and a "unique skill of the century." He has won awards in many aspects of his game around the world.
In 2003, Mr. Wang Shixiang auctioned 31 Xuande furnaces at one time, setting an astonishing record of more than 10 million yuan, and two models were sold for more than 1.6 million yuan. Since then,
Since then, there has been an upsurge in the collection of Xuande furnaces.
Xuande furnace is an incense burning furnace created during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It is usually used in mausoleums, temples and powerful homes to burn incense, worship Buddha, and worship ancestors and gods.
During the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, countless utensils were produced, which can be called excellent works. As one of them, the Xuande furnace has no predecessors and no successors. It is worthy of being an exquisite antique in the world.
The crystallization of the wisdom and art of ancient Chinese craftsmen.
When Emperor Xuande was in power, it was said that the Buddhist temple in the palace caught fire, and the gold, silver, and bronze statues were mixed into liquid. It was also said that the Buddhist scriptures caught fire, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and copper were all sintered together, so Emperor Xuande ordered it to be cast into a copper furnace.
Then there was the Xuande Furnace.
Real or fake?
Seeing this Xuande furnace, Chen Ran couldn't help but have such an idea in his mind, and then he suppressed the excitement in his heart and observed. This is a three-legged furnace that reaches the sky. Mr. Wang Shixiang auctioned it.
Except for the slightly inferior ones, the price of the three-legged stove is basically around 600,000.
Now I just want to see if this one is real.
Chen Ran felt itchy in his heart, as if there were countless insects biting him. He turned around and glanced at Old Chen calmly. After realizing that Old Chen was not paying attention, he stood in the middle of the counter, blocking the way.
The Xuande stove was lit.
He took a look. According to the appraisal of the Xuande furnace, it looked real on the outside. However, an important part of identifying the Xuande furnace was the mark on the bottom. But Lao Chen was in the room, so he did not dare to put it.
He picked up the stove and looked at it, and finally he simply flew out of an energy aperture.
When he was identifying the mahogany furniture in the west wing just now, he consumed four energy apertures, and finally absorbed four more apertures. It was equivalent to no consumption or absorption. The energy aperture he flew out was immediately absorbed by Xuande.
above the furnace.
This scene immediately made Chen Ran happy.
This undoubtedly shows that the Xuande furnace is genuine. Now it depends on which year the Xuande furnace is. However, no matter which year it is, it is at least a hundred years ago, so it is valuable. The Xuande furnace is not more valuable as it gets older, mainly because
Look at the exquisite appearance.
Then Chen Ran flew out of another energy aperture, but was still attracted to the Xuande Furnace. It was not until the fifth aperture that the Xuande Furnace responded.
Only one earthy brass-colored aperture appeared. At the same time as the brass aperture appeared, Chen Ran's five transparent energy apertures were also absorbed by the Xuande Furnace.
Although four apertures were put in, Chen Ran didn't care at all. At this moment, he cared more about the Xuande furnace. The appearance of a brass-colored aperture undoubtedly showed that the Xuande furnace was from the Qing Dynasty. As for where exactly it was.
It is not clear when an emperor is in power. This can only be identified by looking at the name.
The loss of four apertures is enough to show that this Xuande furnace is exquisitely crafted.
Chen Ran kept looking at Xuande Lu, and Gao Qiang also noticed it. He and Chen Ran cooperated very well. When Chen Ran observed Xuande Lu, he calmly observed Lao Chen's reaction...
Chen Ran noticed this scene and gave him a wink. Gao Qiang nodded and walked towards Lao Chen. He stood between Lao Chen and Chen Ran and held a hand with Lao Chen: "Lao Chen, your family
Apart from this family heirloom, are there any other treasures?"
The position where Gao Qiang was standing just blocked Lao Chen's sight. Chen Ran quickly lifted the Xuande furnace and took a look at it, then quickly put it back to its original position.
Made by Hengtang!
These five characters are the name of Xuande incense burner. Chen Ran only thought about it briefly and knew that this Xuande incense burner was made in Daoguang year.
Great antiques, all the collections are elegant and exquisite.
Among the Xuande furnaces auctioned by Mr. Wang Shixiang, there was such a one. Chen Ran remembered that it was auctioned for 670,000 yuan.
After spotting the Xuande furnace, Chen Ran also walked towards Lao Chen. On the way, he secretly nodded to Gao Qiang.
"No, just this one. If there are two more, I won't send them out!" Hearing Gao Qiang's question, Lao Chen raised his head and replied with a smile, and then as if he just remembered,
Pointing to the west wing, he said excitedly: "There is also a chair in the room opposite, which I heard is quite valuable. When a boss came to see the porcelain yesterday, he wanted to buy porcelain. I didn't sell it, so he bought it again.
To buy me this chair, he gave me one hundred yuan at the beginning. What can one hundred yuan do? I might as well keep it. But I hesitated for a while, and he increased the price, and finally it increased to one hundred thousand.
But it shocked me. I was afraid of losing money, so I didn’t dare to sell. After he left, I quickly called my son. When my son heard about it, he told me to keep it and never sell it.
Let’s wait until he comes back…”
When Chen Ran heard this, he guessed that the boss must have been too impatient when he saw the good stuff. Even if Lao Chen didn't understand, he knew that the chair was a treasure. If he wanted to pick up the leaks, he not only needed to have the opportunity to pick up the leaks, but also maintained
Calm down, this matter is just like chasing a girlfriend. Sometimes, you can't rush it, you have to take your time and do it with emotion.
According to Lao Chen, it seems that the mahogany chair will not be sold anymore. Chen Ran is not disappointed. If he can find this Xuande stove, his trip will be in vain.
Gao Qiang received Chen Ran's affirmative reply, and when he heard that the mahogany chair was discovered just yesterday, he immediately became happy. This shows that the old Chen family still has a lot of good things, and it is not impossible to have an authentic Xuande stove.
What's more important is that Lao Chen doesn't know that the incense burner is also a treasure.
When Ning Wei heard Lao Chen say that there was a chair at his house that was offered for 100,000 yuan, she opened her mouth in surprise, then turned around and walked towards the west wing to see what kind of chair someone would bid for.
One hundred thousand?
But Chen Ran and Gao Qiang were observing other things in the wing. There was a mahogany chair that had just been discovered and an authentic Xuande stove that had not yet been discovered. Maybe there would be treasures that had not been discovered.
"Stay in bed and don't run around!"
However, at this time, Lao Chen had already changed his grandson's clothes, put his grandson on the bed, and let him play by himself. Lao Chen greeted Chen Ran and Gao Qiang, and then left the east wing with the small wooden box.
.
Chen Ran and Gao Qiang looked at each other, nodded secretly to each other, and followed Lao Chen into the living room.
