"It's a pity, it's such a pity. I should have come to visit Mr. Han earlier."
When Shen Yu first came to Chuzhou to open a shop, his Lantingju received an ancient painting. According to Shen Yu's judgment, the painting should be the work of Li Wei, one of the Eight Eccentrics of the Qing Dynasty.
It's just that the quality is very poor. The painting itself was already in tatters due to the bites of insects and rats, and there were also man-made damages. Not only were the seals and inscriptions cut off, but one-fifth of the painting itself was also missing. It can be said that it is a masterpiece. The residual painting in the secondary residual painting.
However, Shen Yu firmly believed in his own vision, and after some bargaining, he paid 90,000 yuan. Later, through the relationship between Li Hanlin and Mr. Li, he approached Mr. Han Haishan and Mr. Han. After Mr. Han's rejuvenating repairs, Shen Yu used his second Sold for 180,000 yuan.
The money earned can solve some of Shen Yu's urgent needs, because his father Shen Sanyun not only owed a lot of huge sums of money, but also owed many small debts of several thousand yuan.
All in all, there were dozens of them. They took the IOU and chased them to Chuzhou. Shen Yu had to pay back the money no matter what.
It can be said that the 190,000 earned really solved Shen Yu's urgent need.
Because Mr. Han respected Shen Yu's grandfather Zhonglou very much, he didn't ask for any money to restore the ancient paintings. Shen Yu later asked Mr. Li Hanlin to send him 10,000 yuan, but Mr. Han refunded the entire amount. Come back.
Therefore, Shen Yu missed Mr. Han very much in his heart, which was a kind of respect from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Shen Yu giving money, Han Yuanchun had no intention of refusing.
That’s right, how can a poor and crazy person even think about declining?
Han Yuanchun quickly took the money and said urgently: "I just ate some noodles for lunch. Now that I have money, I have to buy some steamed buns and meat porridge to send to her old man." After that, he put the money in his trouser pocket and asked for it. The calligraphy and painting stalls are closed and people are away.
"Brother Chun, wait a minute, listen to what I have to say."
Han Yuanchun was startled for a moment when he saw Shen Yu blocking him. Although his body froze, his hand holding the money shrank back. This meant clearly, once the money is in my hand, you can't take it anymore. Go back.
Shen Yu turned his attention to Han Yuanchun's antique stall, "Brother Chun, do you know that although Mr. Han didn't leave any money, you still have a few good items in your stall. Selling them should alleviate the current predicament. ."
Han Yuanchun was stunned and asked with some surprise: "You mean how many good items I have in this stall? Isn't this Song Dynasty painting imitated by the Qing Dynasty the only one worth money?
"Oh, by the way, the old man also left me a pile of ancient coins. Yesterday, someone came to the door and wanted to take away eight thousand yuan. I hesitated for a long time and finally was not willing to sell it."
After speaking, he pointed to the pile of ancient coins in the middle of the stall and said: "This is a small part of it."
Shen Yu picked up a few ancient coins and weighed them: "Although these Tianxi Tongbao and Jingyou Tongbao are Song coins, they exist in large quantities and are not very valuable. According to their appearance, one is only a few yuan or more than ten yuan." It’s just yuan.” After saying that, he threw the ancient coins into the pile of copper coins.
When Han Yuanchun heard what Shen Yu said, he slapped his thigh with a look of regret on his face: "No wonder these copper coins can't be sold. When someone comes to buy them, I always call them fifty or eighty-one. They look like they are stupid." Look at me, if I had known this, I might as well have let that person pack it up and buy it all."
Shen Yu disagreed with Han Yuanchun's words, "When I finish, Brother Chun, you are really lucky. Fortunately, you didn't sell it."
"What? Didn't you just say that these copper coins are worthless?" Han Yuanchun was a little confused now.
Shen Yu gently pushed aside a pile of scattered copper coins, revealing two ancient bronze coins wrapped in glass covers at the bottom.
These two ancient coins are obverse and reverse. They are in excellent condition, with clear fonts and thick patina. A knowledgeable person will know at a glance that they are ancient coins handed down from ancient times.
"These two Zhihe Chongbao, which are worth two cents, were cast in the first year of Zhihe by Zhao Zhen, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. These springs are rare and very popular among collectors. The current market price has risen to about 5,000 yuan each." Shen Yu put the ancient coin in his palm and played with it, unable to put it down.
"Five thousand coins is so high? I still have twenty boxes of such ancient coins at home, all packed in glass boxes like this."
Shen Yu nodded, "Yes, five thousand is still a small amount. Basically, it is stable and rising. I think that person's real goal is these 'Zhihe Chongbao'. Buying other ancient coins is just a pretense. You don't have it." Is it good luck to sell?"
Shen Yu put the ancient coins into the glass cover, locked it, and handed it back to Han Yuanchun.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Yu continued to look at Han Yuanchun's stall.
After Han Yuanchun took it blankly, he looked at the ancient coins in the glass cover. The expression on his face kept changing, which showed that he was very excited inside.
After looking at the stall for a moment, Shen Yu walked around to the right front of the stall and gently picked up a blue and white hand cup next to several wood carvings.
After observing and playing with it for more than ten seconds, Shen Yu just said softly, "It is indeed an official kiln of the Qing Dynasty, or maybe a Kangxi official kiln."
The full name of the cup in Shen Yu's hand should be: Qing Kangxi imitation Ming Yongle blue and white character pressing hand cup.
Quite convoluted.
To put it simply, this cup is from the Kangxi Dynasty, but its style is imitated from the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
After silently reciting a treasure appraisal, a ball of blue treasure light emerged three inches above the hand cup.
One inch, two inches, three inches, and when it reaches four inches, it retracts half again, and finally turns into a ball of precious light the size of a glutinous rice ball and floats motionless.
The hand-pressed cup is a style of ancient porcelain.
Why is it called a hand cup?
Because the center of gravity of the cup is in the lower part of the cup, and the rim of the upper part is slightly tilted outward.
When a person holds this cup, the cup just presses on the tiger's mouth of the hand, and the hand-pressed cup is a small and thick cup. The solid cup can give people a heavy feeling, so it is called a hand-pressed cup.
There are eight lines of poetry on the outer wall of the cup, the characters are as small as grains of rice:
Gifts of glory, gold and purple, high praise and high status.
His writing was inspired by Confucius and Mencius, and his career was succeeded by Xiao Cao.
Respect your husband and give him three strategies, but brother Nan is good at six tricks.
The whole family is full of generals and ministers, and they will pay tribute to you for a hundred generations.
There is also an exquisite picture of people celebrating their birthdays, called "Guo Ziyi's Birthday Picture".
Guo Ziyi is the famous Guo Ziyi, King of Ruyang in history. He was a famous minister of the Zhongxing Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty and a veteran of the four dynasties. He served as a soldier and made many extraordinary achievements throughout his life.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Guo Ziyi had eight sons and eight sons-in-law, all of whom were important ministers in the court without exception. The sixth son Guo Ai was the prince-in-law of the court.
Therefore, this longevity picture is full of auspiciousness and joy, symbolizing descendants, wealth and longevity. It is also called: Great Wealth and Longevity.
However, compared with the traditional longevity picture of Guo Ziyi, the story of the characters on this Kangxi official kiln blue and white hand cup is simpler.
There are not many people in the picture. Except for the maid and the housekeeper, there are only four main characters. The ones sitting on the wooden chairs are Guo Ziyi and his wife, and the ones paying birthdays are a young couple in luxurious clothes.
Seeing this, Shen Yu understood that this should be the scene where he returned to the Guo Mansion to pay his birthday after being drunk and hitting the golden branches.
"Drunk to the Golden Bough" is a traditional drama play, which can be found in various local operas, and has been made into TV series countless times.
In the first year of Yongtai, Princess Shengping, the second daughter of Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yu, married Guo Ai, the sixth son of Fenyang King Guo Ziyi.
In February of the second year of the Dali calendar, it was Guo Ziyi's seventieth birthday. It is also said that he and his wife had a double birthday, and all eight sons and eight sons-in-law came to congratulate him.
It's just that one important figure is missing.
The sixth daughter-in-law, Princess Shengping, Li Junrui, who was also the wife of Guo Ziyi, the sixth son-in-law and the commander-in-chief, Guo Ai, did not come to pay her respects on her birthday because she thought she was the princess of the dynasty.
Guo Yan was a man of both civil and military skills and loved face very much. He felt that his wife had lost face in front of his brothers and sisters by not coming to celebrate his parents' birthday. He drank heavily at the birthday banquet and had a quarrel with Princess Shengping when he returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion.
Princess Shengping said: "As a princess, I only worship my father, the emperor, and my queen. How can I kneel down and worship others?"
Guo Yan was so angry that he slapped Princess Shengping.
Princess Shengping was the most beloved by Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty. She was more generous than any other princess, so how could she bear such grievance? That night she packed her things and went to the palace to complain to her father.
Emperor Daizong Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty first pretended to be furious and wanted to severely punish Guo Ai, but in fact he felt that his daughter had done something wrong.
After discussing with the queen, he directly ordered the prince-in-law to be killed.
Of course, this is to scare Princess Shengping.
Princess Shengping and Guo Ai have a very deep relationship. Princess Shengping actually came to her father to complain about her grievances. She panicked when she saw that her father wanted to kill her husband, and she regretted it again and again.
While pleading for mercy, he sent his maid to Guo Ziyi for help, and also notified Guo Ai to run away quickly, or at least go out to avoid the limelight.
Who was Guo Ziyi? Naturally, he knew that Daizong could not really kill his own son, but his own son beating the princess was a small thing but a big deal. Once he was bitten by someone with intentions, it would be enough for Guo Yan. Moreover, Guo Ziyi has always been strict in running the family, so Guo Yan must be taught a lesson if he dares to hit the princess.
So Guo Ziyi personally tied up Guo Ai and went to the Jinluan Palace to plead guilty. Instead of punishing Guo Ai, Emperor Daizong rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver.
At the same time, he also said a famous saying among in-laws through the ages: If you are not stupid or deaf, you will not be a family man.
This means that we can pretend to be deaf and dumb as if we can’t see the affairs of the younger generation, and let them solve their own affairs.
So the young couple got back together and returned to Fenyang Mansion to pay their respects and apologize again.
Ruyang Prince's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, the whole house was filled with joy, and it was a happy ending.
The drawing on this cup is about this scene.
The blue and white of the Kangxi official kiln has this traditional auspicious pattern. This cup alone is worth at least three million.
