"What? Haha, Li Rui, Li Rui, you are bragging, why don't you make a draft? It was you who painted it. Let me tell you, our Jiang family got this painting twenty years ago, which means that the market has been better recently.
I just took it out to test the water, but it is one of the most precious treasures of our Jiang family. Twenty years ago, you were probably not born yet, right?"
When Jiang Qicheng heard this, he immediately became happy and laughed triumphantly.
"Yes, I have been collecting this painting for more than 20 years. If you don't have other evidence, Mr. Li, I'm afraid you will be like Tang Bohu and become a slave today, right?"
Jiang Feng took a step forward, looked at Li Rui and smiled lightly.
"Take a pen and paper, give it five minutes, I will draw it for you, and you will understand it yourself." Li Rui said with a confident smile.
"Hmph, we have seen Li Shao's copying skills before. It is indeed unparalleled in the world. But if you say that this painting was painted by you, would it be a bit too much?" Jiang Qicheng snorted arrogantly.
"That's right, Mr. Li, the Jiang family has been collecting it for twenty years. Isn't your statement tenable?"
"No, I think Mr. Li is about sixteen or seventeen years old, right?"
"Haha, Mr. Li, you are so funny, but this joke is not funny!"
Everyone jeered.
"Made, forget it, since you don't believe it, I won't appraise it. Anyway, the value of these three things of mine is definitely higher than the paintings painted by that boy Tang Bohu."
After Li Rui finished speaking, he turned around, picked up the hammer and struck it gently on the first treasure he chose, the bronze incense burner. Boom, a melodious sound like a bell and a bell suddenly came from the bronze incense burner.
Come.
"This is a treasure!"
Everyone's eyes widened. Almost all of them who are qualified to enter the Jiang Family Courtyard to see the antiques are industry leaders and experienced people. Things that can produce such a rich sound are definitely not ordinary, or maybe
It is impossible for any ordinary product to produce such a rich sound.
"Did this kid really find the treasure?"
Jiang Qicheng frowned slightly, stood on tiptoes, and looked over.
"Kaka!"
The incense burner exploded.
Everyone was stunned.
"Haha, Mr. Li, do you want to laugh me to death? Can you be gentler? These are still antiques! It's fine now. Even if it's a precious thing, it's worthless if you smash it.
!”
Jiang Qicheng looked at the cracks on the bronze incense burner and grinned.
"Crack!"
All the bronze fragments fell off, and a stove made of red copper suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
"Gulu!"
The sound of swallowing saliva kept coming.
Jiang Feng's eyes widened, with a look of shock on his face, and he stammered: "Xuande Furnace, this, is this the real Xuande Furnace?"
"Haha, Lao Jiang is pretty good, he has a bit of a discerning eye. It is made of red copper imported from Siam, which pioneered the copper furnace in later generations. It is a treasure among the Ming Dynasty handicrafts. Look at the elegant and solid workmanship. It is not any of those imitations.
In comparison, my Xuande incense burner can be compared to Tang Bohu's fake painting, right?"
Li Rui sneered with an arrogant look.
The reason why the Xuande furnace is so valuable is not only its historical value, but also its craftsmanship. It was designed by his father when he was bored. Emperor Xuande was so shocked that he ordered the palace craftsman Lu Zhenhe to
Wu Bangzuo, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, designed and supervised the production with reference to the styles of famous porcelain from the Chai Kiln, Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln, and Ding Kiln in the imperial palace, as well as historical books such as "Xuanhe Bogu Illustration" and "Archaeological Maps"
incense burner.
In order to ensure the quality of the incense burner, Lu Zhen tremblingly told the emperor that in order to make a good incense burner, the copper had to be refined six times. After refining once, less, after six times, only half of the raw materials would be left. Emperor Xuande was wealthy and had a strong sense of quality.
Strong, he immediately issued an order to refine the number of times
Not only did it not decrease, but it had to be doubled (refined twelve times), and precious metals such as gold and silver were added. So the craftsmen selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and carefully cast them with red copper more than ten times.
After great efforts, in the third year of Xuande, the top-quality copper incense burner was finally successfully produced.
A total of 3,000 incense burners were cast from this batch of red copper. Each one was unusually atmospheric and shone with precious light. Even Li Rui was very happy at that time. Unfortunately, over the years, this Xuande incense burner has not been as good as Li Rui.
, the appearance is ageless, even though the craftsmanship was advanced at the time, there is still some wear and tear, and it no longer has the radiant glory it once had.
"I'll give you 50 million, I'll give you 50 million, I beg Mr. Li to give up your love!"
A rich man looked at Li Rui and screamed with excitement.
"One hundred million, I'll give you one hundred million! Mr. Li, please, sell it to me!"
"Three hundred million, Ma De, I will give you three hundred million!" Zhu Wenlong stared and shouted excitedly, "Xuande Furnace, this is a rare genuine product in the world!"
Moreover, Zhu Wenlong believed in Li Rui's eyes. He could be sure that this thing was absolutely real. The people present today were just wealthy people from Longjiang City. As long as the news about the Xuande furnace spreads, the value of this antique could be determined at any time.
Double, or even surge several times.
"hiss!"
When everyone heard this, they all couldn't help but gasped.
Three hundred million, this is definitely an extremely terrifying number.
Jiang Qicheng also had a look of despair on his face. The grand and heavy temperament of the Xuande Furnace cannot be imitated by fakes at all. This kind of national treasure-level thing is simply immeasurable.
Jiang Feng was even more uncomfortable, his heart was twitching constantly. A shocking treasure had been gathering dust in his Jiang family's annex for ten years. How ridiculous! Fortunately, the Jiang family still claims to be the leader of Longjiang City.
The No. 1 antique family has been completely humiliated this time.
"Hey, Mr. Li, I've offered you 500 million, please Mr. Li to give up your love!" Jiang Feng looked at Li Rui and begged sincerely.
"Haha, no, there are some things that cannot be measured by money." Li Rui looked at the Xuande stove in his hand, his eyes softened and he smiled. Maybe in the eyes of the people around him, he is a piece of incomparable craftsmanship.
A superb work of art is an antique that can make money, but in Li Rui's eyes, it is just a memory, or even a friend, and its value cannot be replaced by a thousand dollars.
"Master Li, think about it! If the money is not enough, just ask and I will raise the price!" Jiang Feng looked at Li Rui and begged.
"It's not about money." After Li Rui said that, he turned to look at Jiang Qicheng, grinned cruelly and said, "Isn't it your turn to perform now?"
"Performance?"
Jiang Qicheng's expression was startled, and then his face suddenly became extremely gloomy. In front of everyone, if he barked like a dog, how would he have the face to hang out in Longjiang City in the future?
