"Brother, did you really bid for this thing?”
Su Binggui looked at Ye Cheng as if he was a fool with a lot of money.
"I'm quite interested in this kind of thing. I'm just taking pictures for fun. Even if it hits my hand, it's fine. After all, it's a collection.”
Ye Cheng laughed.
"That's right. As long as you like it, it's not a loss. Your brother's mentality is not as good as yours."
Su Binggui laughed.
"Brother Su, do you know the appraisal expert from the museum?”
Ye Cheng suddenly asked.
Su Binggui had been in the capital for almost 20 years and had a company. He should have a lot of connections.
Although it was the first time they met, Ye Cheng felt that it was necessary to get close.
He still needed to find an expert to appraise this yellow kasaya from the late Qing Dynasty. He couldn't possibly say that there was a silk duvet inside the kasaya and that it was used to bury Emperor Qianlong. Who would believe him?
"An expert appraiser?"
Su Binggui was a little surprised." Are you trying to appraise that kasaya?”
"Yes, I feel that this kasaya is a little unusual, so I have to find an expert to appraise it. I heard that the experts at the Old Palace Museum have the highest standards.”
Ye Cheng said.
"My brother-in-law works in the museum. He should be familiar with the experts there, but I can't guarantee that the experts will help.”
Su Binggui said.
His wife's family background was not ordinary.
It was precisely because of this that he, a foreigner, was able to gain a firm foothold in the capital.
"Brother Su, please help me introduce them. Just say that this kasaya has the Dharani Sutra printed on it.”
Ye Cheng said.
"Looks like brother has a plan in mind."
Su Binggui was shocked.
Although he did not know what the Dharani Sutra was.
Obviously, Ye Cheng didn't buy it on a whim, but he saw something special about the kasaya.
He was a little interested in the origin of the kasaya.
After the auction ended, Ye Cheng paid the money and got the yellow kasaya from the late Qing Dynasty.
After returning to the hotel, Ye Cheng couldn't wait to open the kasaya.
The patterns on the surface of the satin were very exquisite, and there were exquisite dark patterns on the inside. One could vaguely see the appearance of characters.
He was basically certain that there was a layer inside the kasaya.
Strangely enough, neither the original owner of the kasaya nor the appraiser of the Bailey Auction House noticed this. Otherwise, this precious collection worth hundreds of millions would not have fallen into his hands.
He took a deep breath and carefully tore a hole in his kasaya.
If it was just a kasaya, this cut would be enough to destroy most of its value.
Soon, a blanket covered with Sanskrit incantations appeared in front of Ye Cheng.
"Hiss!"
Even though Ye Cheng had already guessed it, the excitement in his heart was indescribable now that he had successfully verified it.
The highest bid for this golden silk duvet was 130 million yuan.
Ye Cheng didn't dare to flip it over to avoid damaging the quilt.
He took a few photos with his phone and sent them to Su Binggui.
Then, he carefully folded the quilt, wrapped it in the kasaya again, and put it in his handbag.
No one would have thought that there would be a treasure worth more than 100 million in such a handbag.
He put the bag into the safe in the business room.
The safe was fixed to the wall, and the password could only be used once.
However, Ye Cheng knew that this kind of insurance was not safe.
Because he could enter the administrator mode, he could easily open the safe.
Ye Cheng pressed the Lock button on the safe twice. The safe displayed the word " super ".
He entered administrator mode.
Ye Cheng tried to enter the initial password. 999999, 111111, 000000 did not respond. The administrator password must have been changed.
So, he exited the administrator mode and entered the normal mode. He pressed the deposit button, and with a click, the door of the safe opened. At the same time, a password slip slowly stretched out.
Ye Cheng put the bag inside, then closed the door of the safe and put away the password slip.
In the evening, Su Binggui suddenly called Ye Cheng, saying that his brother-in-law had already contacted an expert at the museum. The other party was very concerned and said that they could make an appointment tomorrow.
Ye Cheng was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
"Brother, it looks like your kasaya is a good item. When it's appraised, you must treat me to a meal.”
Su Binggui said.
"Brother Su, I have to treat you to this meal. Without your introduction, I wouldn't even be able to find a way to become a museum expert.”
Ye Cheng laughed.
The next morning, Ye Cheng left the hotel and went straight to Liulichang Street.
This was a very famous cultural street in the capital. It was the place where books, calligraphy, antiques, and the four treasures of the study were gathered. It had become a must-see for tourists from home and abroad to visit the capital's culture.
Elegant Pavilion Hall.
This was the agreed place.
The expert that Su Binggui's brother-in-law contacted was not only an appraiser from the Palace Museum, but he also had a shop here.
Ye Cheng realized that Su Binggui was also here.
Obviously, he was also very curious about Ye Cheng's kasaya.
"Brother, you're finally here. Elder Yan has been nagging. It seems that you've found a good guy this time.”
Su Binggui laughed.
"Young man, where is it?"
An old man wearing thick presbyopic glasses asked impatiently when he saw Ye Cheng.
"Hello, Elder Yan."
Ye Cheng greeted him and took out the kasaya from his handbag.
When Ye Cheng opened the kasaya, the folded sutra quilt was revealed.
The old man in the Tang suit, Elder Yan, had already put on a pair of gloves. He carefully unfolded the silk Dharani Sutra with a yellow satin base.
It was 2 meters long, 1.38 meters wide, and had an area of nearly 3 square meters.
"This is a silk cloth. It's so big and very rare. If it was woven by one person, it would take a few years to finish.”
Elder Yan's eyes shone as he muttered to himself.
Then, he carefully examined and appraised it.
"If there are no accidents, this quilt is made of Tibetan antelope wool, Camphor wool, gold thread, etc. It is woven with double-sided silk. Tibetan antelope wool is extremely precious, and its value is comparable to an equivalent amount of gold.”
"This sutra quilt is woven with the technique of silk and has a total of four characters.”
"The main pagoda pattern is filled with Sanskrit Dharani scriptures.”
"The surroundings of the pagoda are filled with exquisite and complicated patterns.”
"Such a large scale silk fabric is worthy of being called 'the best of silk'.”
Elder Yan's expression became more and more excited.
He was almost dancing with joy.
Then, he took out his phone and made a call." Hello, Old Sun. Check the book 'Qing Hui Dian: Funeral' for me. It's about how the past emperors 'reincarnations were customized.”
"It's like this. I found a scripture quilt here. It's very likely that it was used by a certain Emperor Qing.”
"What is it? If you want to come over, fine, fine, fine. I'm at the Elegant Pavilion Hall. Hurry up and check for me. I need it urgently."
"Alright, that's it."
After he hung up, he began to study it carefully again.
Ye Cheng and Su Binggui could only watch from the side, unable to interfere at all.
After all, only professionals could do this kind of professional work.
After half an hour, there was no reply. Master Yan quickly called again.
"What? You're already on the way. Why didn't you send me the content first?”
"I'm not anxious. How can I not be anxious? I've been waiting for half an hour."
"Then hurry up."
Elder Yan was speechless.
After another half an hour, a car finally arrived outside the shop. Then, a few old men came out and rushed in. They were very healthy.
"Where is the quilt?"
An old man asked hurriedly.
Soon, they all gathered in front of the table and began to carefully appraise the quilt.
Master Yan took a person's phone and looked at the content of the video.
After a long time, his face became extremely excited and he read out directly," Weaving golden Brahma characters, Dharani yellow satin, embroidered with nine dragons, one each. There are five layers of gold five-color Sanskrit Dharani satin and eight layers of gold dragon satin of various colors, totaling thirteen layers.”
"That's right, this is it. This is the one that Lord Qianlong used.”
Elder Yan was extremely certain.
