After confirming the authenticity of things, shopkeeper Peng was pleasantly surprised, but also sighed about his apprentice's luck. This is also a loss and a gain!
Seeing manager Peng's reaction, Xiao Guo didn't understand that his stuff was really genuine, which made him tremble immediately. After a while, he swallowed his saliva and asked: "master, is this really the genuine Longquan kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty?"
"Ha ha, of course!" Shopkeeper Peng nodded with a smile and then asked curiously, "but how did you get this thing?"
After getting a positive reply, Xiao Guo was so excited that he couldn't help himself. After a while, he came back to himself. Seeing manager Peng's smile, he scratched his head with embarrassment and said with a simple smile, "this is the tie-in to buy that can."
Manager Peng was stunned and then said with a smile: "your luck is really good! But how did you come up with such a choice? "
Xiao Guo spread out his hand and said, "I can't help it. At that time, I chose the big one, but the man certainly refused. In the end, I had to choose a more pleasing one among the small ones."
"You boy, you are still good when you get a bargain, but you are lucky this time. Don't try to pick up the leak by luck next time!" Seeing that Xiao Guo seems a little bit forgetful, manager Peng can't help but remind him.
"Don't worry, I will learn this lesson!"
This drilling experience really impressed Xiao Guo deeply. Even with the present accident, he was worried that he could not make up for the loss. So he quickly asked, "master, how much is this thing worth?"
Shopkeeper Peng shook his head: "it's the first time I've seen this kind of utensil. I really don't know the specific price. You'd better consult shopkeeper Chu."
Seeing that the master and apprentice turned their eyes on themselves, Chu Chen pondered for a while, and then said, "manager Peng, it's the first time you've seen it, and it's the first time I've seen such a small stove. Therefore, I can only give you a price I'm willing to buy, 600000!"
"What! Can it be worth 600000? "
After hearing Chu Chen's offer, Xiao Guo was stunned. For a moment, he seemed at a loss. No wonder his reaction was so strong. Today's event is too dramatic. He just lost 200000 yuan, and now he suddenly made up for the loss. Not to mention, he made another 400000 yuan. This process is as exciting as a roller coaster ride!
Fortunately, Xiao Guo had no heart disease, otherwise he had to have a heart attack.
After a long time, Xiao Guo came back to himself, and then some worried about gain and loss asked: "shopkeeper Chu, can this thing really be worth 600000?"
Chu Chen said with certainty: "in my eyes, it can really be worth 600000!"
Manager Peng heard the speech and said, "manager Chu, can you tell us?"
"Yes
Chuchen nodded with a smile: "first of all, although this stove is small, it's exquisite and beautiful. At the same time, it reflects the song people's trend of imitating the ancient and advocating beauty. It looks so beautiful that it's a representative of the porcelain of the Song Dynasty. Surely you don't mind?"
Seeing that they nodded, he went on to introduce: "let's take another look at the Zhen style stove itself. Its glaze color and shape are the purest powder blue, and its shape is the most high-grade imitation of Shang and Zhou bronzes in Longquan celadon, which belongs to the display. These two points are enough to prove that this thing is absolutely the imperial instrument fired and paid tribute with the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty. "
"In particular, its hoop feet are not the common plane upright, but the extremely rare angle shape, which is completely in reference to the bronze hoop feet of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. However, it is extremely difficult for porcelain to make this kind of hoop feet. Coupled with its double dragon ears, it is really a peak work!"
"Zhen" is a very important ritual vessel in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is used together with Ding. The use of tripod and cudgel was the privilege of the aristocrats in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the symbol of status. The emperor of Zhou could use nine tripods and eight tripods. The number of tripods and eight tripods used by other nobles was strictly limited, and the indiscriminate use of tripods and eight tripods was regarded as "transgression" and a crime of great rebellion. So the shape of porcelain proves its absolute nobility. "
Chu Chen went on to say: "according to authoritative data, such a small stove of Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty should be the only one of its kind. As the old saying goes, rarity is the most important thing. The origin of porcelain itself is very noble. In addition to its rarity, 600000 is still worth it. It's a pity that it's a little smaller. If it's a little bigger, it's normal to have more than two or three times as many! "
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Guo cracked his mouth and said with a smile, "I'm satisfied to be worth 600000!"
Shopkeeper Peng was also very happy that his apprentice had been able to pass today. However, he immediately focused on the small stove in front of him and asked, "but what can such a small stove do? Do you think of it as a piano stove? "
Among the stationery utensils, the piano stove is an indispensable important object. Chinese society has attached great importance to music since ancient times, and Confucius made six arts, including "music". In ancient banquets and study rooms of scholars, Qin, Se, Zheng and Xiao were indispensable.
In order to create an elegant and fragrant environment, as well as to facilitate timing, when playing and playing musical instruments, we need to burn incense to boost the fun, so the small censer specially used for playing zither came into being, and it has a very elegant name, Qinlu.The stove burns incense one at a time, so the body of the stove should be small and exquisite, which makes it more elegant when placed in front of the table. People play zither in their study, looking at the rising wisp of smoke, and smelling the fragrance. It's really like entering the fairyland and forgetting things.
Chu Chen imagined it for a while, and found that it was really more suitable to use this stove as a Qin stove. But he immediately said, "if we look at it from our current point of view, it's not a problem to regard it as a Qin stove, but in ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty, it's too rare to use it as a Qin stove."
After all, Zhen style stove was mainly a ritual vessel in Song Dynasty, which was used as a Qin stove. Chu Chen had never seen such an example before.
"Forget it, we'd better study it later."
Chu Chen shook his head and then asked, "Xiao Guo, I don't know what you're going to do with this stove?"
Xiao Guo looked at master Peng and nodded slightly. Then he said, "I really like this thing, but with my current economic strength, I don't have the capital to collect it. Since you like it, shopkeeper Chu, you can transfer it to you! As for the price, just as you said. "
Chuchen said with a smile: "well, you have to think about it. If the price I offer is cheap, you will suffer."
Xiao Guo said with a smile: "as the old saying goes, it's a blessing to suffer losses. Besides, I believe that you, manager Chu, should not let me suffer losses."
Chuchen said with a smile: "OK, I remember this today!"
Although his price is fair in the current market, the pocket stove is unique and well made. Once it appears, it must be a hot commodity. If it goes to the auction, the price is likely to be more than 20% or 30%. He may not be able to buy it.
"Shopkeeper Chu, don't be so polite. You've helped me a lot today, and I didn't think much of you for my attitude towards you before!"
Xiao Guo learned Chu Chen's identity from manager Peng before. At that time, he was very scared. He was afraid that Chu Chen would give him shoes in the future. Fortunately, Chu Chen didn't get angry and didn't say anything, and he also got his favor, which made him unhappy.
"Now that it's over, don't talk about it any more!" Chu Chen waved his hand and then asked, "do you want a check or a transfer?"
Xiao Guo quickly said: "transfer is OK..."
Next, Chu Chen asked someone to transfer the account to Xiao Guo, then chatted for a while, took things and left.
…………
After dinner, Chu Chen said hello to his parents and went back to his room with the box containing the peacock blue glaze plate.
When he closed the door, Chu Chen immediately took out his tools and prepared to take out the roll of things in the box.
Chuchen gently removed the inlaid board from the box cover with tools, and then took out the things hidden inside.
It's actually a roll of paper that looks old and feels special.
Open the paper carefully, and there is an introduction at the beginning of the paper, saying that he found Li Jinzhong's secret by chance, sold some of his things, and earned an estate for his family. I hope that the younger generation will be able to compete and not lose all of his family.
If you encounter difficulties that you can't get through, go to the place where he hides things and take out the things inside.
The rest of the content, are family, Chu Chen looked at it again, but did not find any secret words and the like. However, even so, he was very excited at this time. You know, this may be related to Li Jinzhong's treasure!
Some people may ask, who is Li Jinzhong? In fact, Li Jinzhong is Wei Zhongxian, the famous "nine thousand year old" in Ming Dynasty.
In fact, the treasure left by Wei Zhongxian has been circulating in the market, but it has never been found. Of course, some unofficial historians say that the treasure left by Wei Zhongxian had been removed by Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty.
It is said that in 1644, Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army withdrew from the capital in a hurry on the eve of the Qing army's attack. With the withdrawal of the army, there are also a large number of snowflakes and silver. Where does this silver come from? Did it really exist? There has been a lot of controversy in history.
According to the records of Kangxi, "during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there were two million pieces of silver and gold in the cellar behind the Yangxin hall. The soldiers of our Dynasty arrived, and the bandits fled with the gold. They abandoned the Yellow River because they were forced to pursue them."
It is not difficult to see from the text that if Li Zicheng really brought a large amount of silver, at least 2 million taels of it came from the palace. So what is the money of the 2 million taels?
