Chapter 345: Kesi Treasures Handed Down in Ming Dynasty
Chapter 345: Kesi Treasures handed down from Ming Dynasty
.........After listening to Liu Dong's conditions, Ma Chao simply thought about it and nodded in agreement. Although Ma Chao felt uncomfortable selling his ancestral business, he also knew that he was not in business.
materials, and he knows nothing about running an antique shop.
Even if this store is in his hands, it will be ruined sooner or later.
In addition, if he sells the store to Liu Dong, he can still make some money, but if he hands the store to the Sihai Gang, he will not get a penny at all. He will even have to lose a lot.
So for this multiple-choice question, Ma Chao simply thought about it and made a decision.
"Okay, brother, as long as you can get the property ownership certificate here from the Sihai Gang, then I will sell it to you!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded, "It's best to remember what you said now!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong put Huang Tingjian's original "Inscription on Pillar Pillars" and the Yuan Dynasty gold-plated and multi-colored plum vase with dragon and phoenix patterns into his backpack, then carried it behind his back, and then held it with both hands before opening it and examined it carefully
Mu Gang walked downstairs with a camphor wood box, holding a four-striped landscape screen from Wang Yeting, one of the "Eight Friends of Zhushan".
"Oh, that's right! People from the Sihai Gang are still waiting outside your store. If you don't want to be caught by them, you'd better come with us!" After finishing speaking at the entrance of the stairs, Liu Dong
Then he turned around and led Mu Gang downstairs.
Hearing this, Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "Brother, wait for me, please wait for me!" Then, he didn't bother to put the money back in the safe, and just used one
With it in an opaque handbag, I went downstairs to chase Liu Dong.
With so many harvests, and all of them so precious, Liu Dong did not continue shopping in the antique market.
While driving back to the hotel, Ma Chao asked Ma Chao to deposit the money in the bank, and then the three of them returned to the presidential suite where Liu Dong was staying.
"Wow!!"
The luxurious crystal chandeliers, gorgeous carpets, and exquisitely crafted sofas inside the presidential suite made Ma Chao, who came here for the first time, unable to help but marvel in admiration.
Looking at his appearance, Liu Dong shook his head. To be honest, he didn't like the European style of decoration. In contrast, the calm, reserved, moderate, and full of historical and cultural accumulation of Chinese style home decoration style was Liu Dong's favorite.
Love. The interior of the villa No. 1 in Crouching Mountain that he bought is being renovated in this style. However, because his place is so big, just an interior renovation will take half a year. So by now, although Liu Dong has already bought
They moved into a villa, but still lived with Wang Qiang in a building with one bedroom and two living rooms, less than 100 square meters.
"There is a TV in the living room, you can turn it on and watch it! At six or seven o'clock, I will take you to dinner. In the evening, you take me to the Sihai Gang's casino and ask for your real estate certificate!"
Finally, regardless of Ma Chao's reaction, Liu Dong returned to the room with the precious porcelain, calligraphy and paintings he bought.
After Mu Gang put down the four porcelain paintings in his arms, he said something to Liu Dong and then went out. Of course, Mu Gang and Ma Chao had no interest in communicating with them, so they returned quickly after going out.
own room.
After turning around and closing the door, Liu Dong put several other things into the mustard space, leaving only the camphor wood box on the bed. Because there were many people at that time, and the things inside were extremely precious, and the volume was quite large.
, so Liu Dong kept coming back here before preparing to take it out.
Kesi, also known as "cut silk", is the essence of Han traditional silk art.
As the most traditional silk weaving industry in China, Kesi is a very decorative silk fabric with high warps and wefts. It has been one of the royal fabrics since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It is often used to weave the clothes of emperors and empresses, royal portraits (imperial portraits)
) and imitate famous people's calligraphy and paintings. Because the weaving process is extremely meticulous, the imitations are often better than the original works, and the surviving fine works are extremely rare. They are the highlights of today's weaving and embroidery collections and auctions. There are often "one inch of tapestry, one inch of gold" and "in the weaving"
"Holy" reputation.
Moreover, compared to other works of art, there are very few mediocre products of Kesi, because it is too difficult to imitate. The cost and difficulty of counterfeiting Kesi works are much greater than any other handicrafts. The best works are only the size of a square scarf.
, including thousands of progressive colors, requires senior technicians to spend several months to complete. The gold content of the technology, the complex process flow, the extremely demanding process environment, and the lack of successors for this unique skill make the tapestry's value
It's skyrocketing.
Moreover, the materials used for tapestry are also very particular. A high-quality palace tapestry work can be woven using a variety of precious materials such as pure gold thread, pure silver thread, peacock feathers, etc., and is also partially handmade.
Embroidery, the whole work is graceful, luxurious and skillful.
All of this has resulted in the high value of Kesi works nowadays, especially the fine Kesi works from the royal families of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which are worth thousands of gold, with the final auction price exceeding tens of millions.
And the piece Liu Dong got in his hands at this moment was an authentic fine tapestry piece.
However, his piece is not a common royal dragon and phoenix decoration or a copy of calligraphy and painting by ancient famous artists, but an authentic Taoist work.
After unfolding, the tapestry work in Liu Dong's hand is 20 meters long and 56 centimeters wide. It uses pure gold thread, pure silver thread and peacock feathers and other precious materials to form three portraits and three famous Taoist classics.
They are respectively the statue of Laozi riding an ox in the Taiqing Dynasty, the Yuanshi Tianzun sitting astride a jade unicorn, and the Lingbao Tianzun riding a Kui ox. Behind these three Qing Taoist ancestors are woven three scriptures, namely the "Tai Shang Purity Sutra", "The Emperor's Purity Sutra"
"The Beginning and End of Yuan'ao Sutra", "The Jade Emperor's Heart Seal Sutra" on the Secret of Spiritual Treasures.
Liu Dong had occasionally seen these three classics in books before. They were all compiled by Sun Xuanqing, the founder of the Laoshan School. According to the history of the play, Sun Xuanqing came to the capital in response to an imperial edict in the 37th year of Jiajing (1558).
After completing his work, he went to Baiyun Monastery to sit in the alms hall for a year, annotated "The Jade Emperor's Heart Seal Sutra", "The Supreme Purity Sutra", "The Beginning and End of the Imperial Sutra", etc., and created six volumes of eight volumes of the Shimen sect.
, Ge Lao Zhai Luan and Shaoqing Gong Zhongpei took the lead and presented it to the imperial government, and were conferred the title of "Zuo Zanjiao of the Heavenly Master's Mansion that protects the country" and were in charge of the affairs of Zhenzhen's Mansion.
And this huge Kesi work also has a description of this incident, as well as the jade seal stamped by Emperor Jiajing! It is undoubtedly authentic, and Laoshan is located in the island city. It is very likely that this Kesi work came from the Laoshan School.
circulated.
Of course, Liu Dong didn't care about the specific reason. What he cared about was that he finally received another priceless treasure.
In addition to this precious Ming Dynasty tapestry masterpiece, the Yuan Dynasty gold-coloured plum vase with dragon and phoenix patterns, Huang Tingjian's original "Inscription on the Pillar Pillar", Wang Yeting's four landscape screens, and 7 sketches by the famous German painter Holbein, Menzel
There were 11 sketches and 19 by Kirchner. Liu Dong was deeply satisfied with his trip to Changhua Road Antique Street.
Then, he took out these items one by one and admired them. It was not until Mu Gang knocked on the door to remind him to eat that Liu Dong was reluctant to put all these antiques into the mustard space.
After dinner in the evening, Liu Dong took Ma out of the hotel. As for Mu Gang, his figure was so eye-catching. But this time things were a bit special, so Liu Dong didn't take him with him.
"Is this here?" Liu Dong parked the car on the side of the road and pointed to the crowded bar not far away where men and women hugging each other and teasing each other came and went.
"Yes, brother, this is the Sihai Gang's largest casino in the island city, but I don't know if it is their lair!"
After listening to Ma Chao's words, Liu Dong nodded.
"Brother, are you sure it's just the two of us going in?" Ma Chao asked again. He really didn't understand why Liu Dong didn't bring that big man with him. With that kind of combat power, even entering and exiting the headquarters of the Sihai Gang would always be difficult.
There is a sense of security, unlike now, where Ma Chao always feels like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth.
Seeing his hesitation, Liu Dong smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, if you don't have confidence, I won't bring you to a place like this alone."
Hearing what he said, Ma Chao thought the same thing. Liu Dong was so rich that he would definitely not make fun of his own life. Naturally, he had full confidence in coming here and escaped unscathed. Thinking of this, Ma Chao felt a little at ease.
After watching Liu Dong get out of the car, he also walked down.
"Ma Chao, you bastard, you dare to come here!" It was obvious that Ma Chao was a regular visitor here, so as soon as he saw him coming, a big, round man who was standing outside to guard the door came over and looked at him with a fierce look.
It was obvious that he wanted to teach Ma Chao a lesson first.
As if he had expected this result, as soon as this person came up, Ma Chao quickly hid behind Liu Dong.
And Liu Dong did not live up to his trust. The moment the man stretched out his hand, he grabbed the man's wrist like lightning, and then used a slight force. The strong man who was originally invincible to Ma Chao's eyesight showed pain all over his face.
shouted.
"Let go, boy, you don't want to fucking live anymore...!" The big man scolded and pulled his arm hard, but Liu Dong's five fingers were like five welded steel, no matter what he did,
I can't even twitch even if I try hard enough.
Seeing that his hand could not twitch, the strong man endured the pain and raised his foot to kick Liu Dong hard in the crotch.
Seeing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but frowned. A man's crotch is a vital part of his body. Even if he had the skills, he would feel uncomfortable for a long time if he was kicked. Therefore, Liu Dong, who hated this man for not knowing the severity of his attack, was not polite anymore.
He raised his right foot and kicked the strong man on the chest with his second strike first.
Then, Ma Chao, who was standing behind Liu Dong, only heard a "bang" like a defeat, and the strong man who was originally invincible in his eyes flew out quickly like a broken sack.
It fell down after a full four or five meters, and then rolled around for more than ten times before completely motionless. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
