(4300 words, kneeling, begging, and a lot of saved manuscripts.)）
There were even more paintings. Some were opened, some were scrolls, and some were piled up in a mess. There was even a painting of Qi Baishi's shrimp.
However, Zhang Nan did not plan to make a move for the time being. The price of porcelain in the shop was several times that of the black market. In addition, it was inconvenient to carry it around this time. If there were no top-notch products, it would be fine to just look at it.
Calligraphy was his weakness. In his previous life, he had not been able to figure it out for decades. At most, he was half-baked. He would not touch it if he could.
"Ma 'am, are there any more antiques that haven't been displayed? It's of a higher grade." After scanning the shop, he asked the salesperson, who spoke in a Hong Kong accent.
"Hello, sir. There is a vase with twelve golden hairpins in powder color from the Jiaqing Qianlong official kiln in the storeroom. It is currently the best Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain in our shop.”A middle-aged woman who seemed to be a small leader among the salespeople said.
"Oh, interesting. Take a look."
The salesperson took out a bottle from the back of the storeroom and placed it on the counter that had been covered with flannel.
This was a gift bottle that was about 267 centimeters tall, 8 centimeters in diameter, 15 centimeters in diameter, and less than 7 centimeters in circumference.
"Can you use it?"
"Yes, please be careful." The waiter handed her a magnifying glass. Zhang Nan waved her hand to indicate that she did not need it." Please give me a flashlight."”This was the need to look at the inside of the bottle.
As the saying goes,"porcelain cannot be used in one's hands." They were all experts. In order to prevent things from being accidentally broken during the passing, the responsibility could not be clearly explained. After one person put down the antiques, the other person would pick them up.
However, the other party did not ask for gloves, so Zhang Nan did not pay too much attention to it. She directly picked it up and looked at it.
The vase in front of Zhang Nan was in excellent condition. It had a curved mouth, a slender neck, smooth shoulders, a bulging abdomen, a closed abdomen, and a round foot. The bottom was a three-line official kiln model with six characters written in blue and white seal script "Qing Qianlong Year System".
The overall shape was exquisite and elegant, and the tire repair was meticulous and rigorous! The 12 golden hairpins drawn were exquisite and the environment was colored. They were elegant, soft, delicate, and pleasant.
The mouth of the bottle is painted with gold, and the lower ring of the mouth is decorated with a Ruyi cloud head. The golden color is brilliant and magnificent. The neck ring is decorated with a variant Ruyi pattern inlaid with flower patterns, and the shoulder ring is decorated with twining flowers and Ruyi patterns. The color is beautiful and dazzling, colorful and colorful, showing the noble grace.
Near the foot, a variant lotus petal pattern is painted, and the foot wall is decorated with a circle of words. The overall body of the vessel was painted with a deep shade of color. It was quite beautiful. The painting was exquisite and exquisite, and the craftsmanship was exquisite. It was not inferior to the superior works of the official kiln during the Qianlong period. The decorative patterns were dense and detailed, displaying the artistic legacy of the luxury of porcelain during the Qianlong period.
"It should be one of the rare high-quality products of Jiaqing's famille rose ware! It seemed that this appraiser was definitely an expert.”After looking at it carefully, Zhang Nan already had an idea.
Then why was the Jiaqing Nian's item Qianlong?
Because Qianlong had been the emperor for several years, the firing of the imperial kiln factory in the early years of Jiaqing was still the continuation of Qianlong's imperial kiln. Its style and pattern were inherited from the old system of the previous dynasty, and no one dared to overstep it.
On the other hand, there were many fine folk kilns from the early years of Jiaqing. The bottom was the Jiaqing style, but the things were 100% Qianlong style.
He put down the vase and thought about it carefully. In his memory, he seemed to have only seen such a high-quality vase in the information. It was a family heirloom. He had never seen a similar vase in other major museum and auction companies.
"You're willing to sell this treasure. There's really nothing to say.”He shook his head in his heart.
Zhang Nan didn't think about its future value. He thought of the twelve golden hairpins and the pure beauty he met on the train. Zhang Nan smiled.
"What price?"
He was about to make a move.
"Please wait a moment. This bottle hasn't been priced yet. I need to ask the leader.”the middle-aged woman replied.
"Go ahead." He frowned. He had made a mistake!
It wasn't the price, it was the lack of professionalism-Qin Shi and the salesperson had both made a mistake. They hadn't stated the price before they started. If they had dropped it, they would have been dumbfounded!
He looked down on himself.
After a while, the person obviously came back after making a phone call.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Because this was the best of the best in Jiaqing Imperial Kiln, it required 3000 yuan in foreign exchange certificates. Also, sir, we're giving you the actual price.”
F * ck, this was an exorbitant demand! If it were to appear in the black market, this bottle would be worth 500 yuan!
In the first half of the year before he was reborn, he bought a blue and white plate with a dragon pattern from Yongzheng official kiln in the black market in Beijing for 200 yuan. It would be at least a million yuan in 20 years!
He pinched his nose and admitted it. Fortunately, he had the habit of bringing a lot of cash with him on business trips. He was even more glad that he had exchanged 6,000 foreign exchange certificates from the ticket scalper at a high price. Adding the original, he had about 8,000 yuan with him.
"Help me wrap it up. It needs to be safe and careful.”
As he spoke, he paid first and counted out a total of 50 100 yuan foreign exchange certificates. The few salespeople looked at him like he was a rich man.
In the early 1980s, he was definitely tall, rich, and handsome.
He had spent 4000 yuan to exchange 3000 foreign exchange certificates in the black market. It was really a huge loss!
"Don't worry, sir. We often encounter such requests.”
After a while, the salesperson took out an old mahogany box from the storeroom. It was a book box with a length of more than 40 centimeters. It should be a toy from the Qing Dynasty.
"This is the package that comes with our store.”
Buying a watermelon and giving him a watermelon knife. This service attitude was not bad. In the future, this book box would be worth thousands. This would be the life of a packaging box. Two watermelons were not worth a date.
Using a towel as a base and a cushion dug out of styrofoam, he personally placed the gift bottle into the box.
"Don't pack it up yet. I'll look at the other small things and put them together when the time comes.”
The box was placed at the counter where he walked. There could be no accidents.
"Oh, these things are not bad. Help me take them out.”
It was a pair of jade bracelets with pearls in the shape of two dragons. They were of the Ming Dynasty style. The jade quality was exquisite and the patina was round. It was already a genuine white jade. The workmanship was exquisite. After careful inspection, it was believed to be a genuine product from the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It was not from the early Ming Dynasty, nor was it from the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. This was because it could not be considered a cultural relic. At most, it was an old object. The cultural relic shop also sold it. At most, it would be sold as a product of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
It was easy to mistake the jade bracelet's carving skills if one was not an experienced jade carver. He saw that the sign read "Hetian White Jade Double Dragon Bracelet in the late Qing Dynasty" and the price was 380 RMB.
Old jade was in fashion now, and it might have been a mistake, so the price of this pair of bracelets was reasonable. However, it was already super expensive. The last time he bought a nice round jade bracelet, it only cost 30 yuan.
However, after 30 years, this pair of bracelets would be worth at least a few million!
"Put it in a box."
This was it.
"There's a matching bracelet box. Don't worry.”
There was also a small item that was a golden Phoenix Flower Buyao. It was labeled as a product of the Qing Dynasty. It was 180 mm long and weighed 30 grams. It was made of silk and inlaid with red spinels.
The price tag was 2500 yuan, which meant that it was 110 yuan per gram!
There were eight phoenixes on Bu Yao. The flowers and leaves were dense and flourishing. The two flower cores were inlaid with gems. The phoenixes and flowers were connected by pure gold thread. If it was worn on the head, it would flutter and sway as the wearer walked slowly. It was vivid and lifelike.
This buyao should be a palace item. The workmanship was exquisite and exquisite.
It wasn't too bad. Even a gold ring in the bank now cost 80 to 90 RMB per gram, and this price included the craftsmanship fee. It seemed like he was crazy about foreign exchange!
"No! There's a problem!"
He felt that something was amiss. He put down the 5x magnifying glass in his hand and took out a small 50x magnifying glass from his pocket.
After looking at it carefully for a while,
"Pack it up. I want it."
He cursed in his heart, What Qing Dynasty products?! Dog fart expert! This was a treasure from the Song Dynasty! Silk stacking and flower silk inlaid, this was a super first-class craft that the Qing Dynasty palace master craftsmen would have, but what was missing was the lost silk tapping and spot welding! It was lost after the Southern Song Dynasty!"
Just now, he thought of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. That might be a story from the Ming Dynasty.
The book did not specify which dynasty it was. Many people speculated that the background of the dynasty was the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty.
When 'Dream of the Red Chamber' appeared, it was during the time of the literary inquisition. Some people speculated that in order to protect their lives, they chose to use obscure methods to express some people and things that were easily viewed as sensitive content by others.
However, the Qing Dynasty had a marriage alliance, and the Ming Dynasty had no marriage alliance. Therefore, which dynasty was it?
However, she had been watching him in the Ming Dynasty, and then she felt that there was a problem!
All the details of the Golden Whip, including all the phoenixes and flowers, were woven from layers of golden threads as thick as hair!
A master craftsman in the Qing Dynasty might be able to weave golden threads that were as thin as hair into phoenixes and flowers. However, let alone the Qing Dynasty, even in the 21st century, it was estimated that they would not be able to pull out such fine golden threads!
The hair-thin golden threads were not pulled out, but "slapped" out! Not to mention, there was such a fine gold wire welding technique. It was unbelievable!
The current experts had probably never seen such a superb craftsmanship, let alone the experts. Perhaps they knew that such fine gold wire drawing and welding was impossible to do today.
An appraiser might be a top-notch porcelain expert, but they might be half a bucket of water when it came to gold and silver. In addition, the commonly seen magnifying glass was only about 5 times, so it was normal for him to misjudge this top-grade Golden Step.
In his previous life, a Southern Song Dynasty royal tomb in Jiangnan Province had its skull ripped open by an excavator. Hundreds of people fought for it. It was said that a silver gilded phoenix crown was torn into dozens of pieces by a group of people. It was enough to show the madness of the fight at the scene!
When the police arrived, only the driver of the excavator was left sitting in the excavator with his legs crossed and smoking. It was said that he was the one who called the police.
The pilot had seen many such things and was experienced. When he saw that the situation at the scene was out of control, he immediately secretly called the police. He did not go to snatch it himself and sat on the fishing platform. Sure enough, not a single one of the dozens of people who had robbed the place managed to escape. They were all arrested and sentenced. However, in the end, the things that were confiscated were sparse.
Fortunately, the torn parts of the phoenix crown were recovered. It was made of such fine metal wire, but it was just silver wire gilded. Only now did the archaeological world know that our ancestors had created such a pinnacle of craftsmanship!
After the microscope magnified it by a hundred times, he finally determined from the traces left on the gold wire that the gold wire was not pulled or knocked out, but "slapped" out. As for how it was "slapped"? Sorry, the experts didn't know. They only guessed that there might be similarities with the process of making gold foil.
In 2014, he was lucky enough to get his hands on one of the small components: There were six small birds on a small phoenix crown component, each of which was less than four millimeters long. On the small wings, layers of feathers woven with gold thread were clearly visible. The small claws were like real bird claws that had been shrunk countless times. The golden threads even weaved the scales and skin effects on the claws! Not to mention that the bird's eyes were so vivid!
It was so detailed that it made one's hair stand on end!
"When the Outsiders went south, so many lives were lost, and so many national treasures and skills were lost in the chaos of war!”He couldn't help but sigh.
As for why the archeological community didn't know about this process before? There were no similar artifacts that were unearthed and passed down?
Because there was no place to excavate it, it was even more difficult to pass it down!
It seemed that this technique did not exist before the Northern Song Dynasty. When it came to the Southern Song Dynasty, this technique should have been used exclusively by the Southern Song Dynasty's court. When the Southern Song Dynasty perished, the object was lost and seized by the grassland people. After hundreds of years, it was either damaged or re-smelted.
Underground, because the Southern Song Emperor's Mausoleum was actually a "Zan Palace", it was the temporary burial place for Zan Ji's coffin. The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty considered moving back to the ancestral mausoleum area, so the coffin was buried relatively shallow and it was easy to dig it up.
In addition, there was also a Tangut named Yang, a madman, a gravedigger, a vanguard of the Yuan Dynasty who went to Jiangnan to assimilate into the Han Dynasty, a Tibetan Buddhist monk, and a disciple of the Tibetan monk, Emperor Ba Siba. He killed the tomb guards and dug up all the tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty!
Even the graves of the Southern Song dukes and marquises were dug up! The money was dug out to repair the temple.
They even dug up the bones of the Southern Song emperors and empresses and threw them into the wilderness.
Zhao Yun of the Li Sect was the big head. He took his head from the corpse and brought it back to the north. He inlaid it with silver and painted it into a wine container!
He also collected the bones of the Southern Song Emperor and Empress in the Royal Palace of Lin 'an and built a 130-foot-high white tower to suppress them. It was called "Zhenben"! Even after the Southern Song Emperor died, no one could return to the ancestral mausoleum. Instead, the mausoleum was destroyed and his body was thrown away.
In the end, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who did a good deed. He buried the bones of the Southern Song Emperor back to their original place and rebuilt the Imperial Mausoleum.
The one that was passed down was destroyed in the flames of war, and the mausoleum was also dug up. This unique skill of " tapping and spot welding ", which perhaps only served the Southern Song Dynasty, was lost and even unknown.
It was not until 2014 that the royal tomb that had escaped the catastrophe hundreds of years ago was dug up and robbed.
The Golden Bodyshake that he had bought today might have been passed down through luck, or it might have been dug up during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and preserved properly. It did not look like it had just been unearthed. It was very well preserved and was not damaged at all.
Now that the huge amount of foreign exchange certificates had been written off, everything was properly wrapped in a box and a canvas bag was wrapped around the book box. They took the proof of purchase issued by the cultural relics store. With the proof, they could smoothly bring it out of the country and the customs would let them go.
Of course, it was impossible for him to go abroad.
