Chapter 527： Doubtful

"Master Wu, you are here, so I don't want to tell the old man in advance to keep you waiting."

"Old Hua, I just arrived too."

Hualao and Wu Hongyi exchanged greetings, and Xia Yu walked up to say hello politely: "Hello Hualao, I am a friend of Hongyi, my name is Xia Yu."

"Hello, hello, welcome to you!"

"You are all distinguished guests, go into the back room and sit down!"

With that said, Mr. Hua took Xia Yu and the others into the back room. There really was a lot of space inside, a living room with a wooden staircase leading upstairs.

"Old Hua, I have to say that you have an inexplicable force here. Every time I come to you, I can calm down."

Wu Hongyi just sat down and said in admiration.

Hua Lao smiled kindly and said: "Antiques contain a humanistic artistic conception. After experiencing the accumulation of history, each antique has its own aura. Often playing with it is conducive to self-cultivation. You might as well take a few more. Or come and sit when you have time."

"I came here with this idea. Today I came with my friend to buy antiques from you."

Wu Hongyi said with a smile, and then specially introduced Xia Yu to Hua Lao: "Xia Yu is the big boss from Xiangjiang, and his strength is stronger than our Wu family. Now he is the director of our Huashang Bank and plans to buy some antiques to decorate the office. "

After Wu Hongyi's introduction, Xia Yu smiled and nodded when seeing Mr. Hua looking at him, "Old Mr. Hua, I'm going to trouble you!"

Hua Lao smiled, stroking his long beard and promised: "No trouble, it should be, I have to thank you for taking care of my business."

"Or go upstairs now, you pick whatever you want!"

"Then the feeling is good, you always please!"

Come on, Hua Lao took everyone up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

On the second floor, Xia Yu took a quick glance and found that there were a lot of rooms above, at least six or seven.

Hua Lao opened the exquisite carved wooden door in the first room, and took Xia Yu and others in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a grid of wooden cabinets on the surrounding walls, on which were placed various but very exquisite porcelains.

Some large porcelain wares are placed on the bottom floor, or simply placed in the middle of the house, surrounded by wooden railings to prevent people from accidentally hitting or kicking them.

At this time, I heard Hualao’s gentle voice: “This is a porcelain pavilion, and there are now 191 porcelains, including blue and white porcelain, blue and white Linglong porcelain, famille rose porcelain, thin porcelain porcelain, sculpture porcelain, colorful porcelain porcelain, etc. If you subdivide it further, they include blue and white, blue and white multicolored, and Dou Cai, etc. China's five official kilns have porcelains, but the number is not large."

Listening to Hua Lao's words, Xia Yu's eyes flashed with shock. He didn't expect that there were so many porcelains in Zhenbao Pavilion, which was enough to open a small museum, but they were all placed in a small room for sale.

And I didn’t expect that there are porcelains from the five official kilns here. You know, there are only more than ten Ru kiln porcelains in the past, and there are also here!

Xia Yu moved lightly, carefully observing pieces of exquisite antique porcelain.

At this moment, his heart was ready to move, and he wanted to buy it all and take it for himself.

But he still has a sense of reason, and if he is not sure about this idea, it is likely to make everyone's face ugly.

Let's wait until we understand the situation clearly!

Seeing Xia Yu admiring porcelain constantly, Hua Lao smiled and stroked his beard, quietly waiting for Xia Yu's choice.

There is a small card under each piece of porcelain with the basic information of the piece of porcelain. Of course, the price is not marked.

After a while, Xia Yu stayed in front of a set of tea sets, a teapot and four bowls, and looked at the card. It was from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.

"Old Hua, can I take a look at it?"

Xia Yu looked up and asked.

"Of course you can, but wear gloves!"

Hua Lao nodded and said with a smile, and handed a pair of gloves to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu took it on, lightly held the teapot and placed it in front of his eyes to observe.

The pot body is 18.8 cm in diameter and has a bright enamel color. The pot body is painted with flower and bird patterns, and there is a square seal on the bottom of the lake with the six characters of Ming Chenghuan written on it.

Look at the cup with a lid. The body of the cup is a flower pattern, with a bottom and a lid, and the bottom is also printed.

Of course, the seal is not necessarily true, and Xia Yu can't tell it, but since Wu Hongyi said that the treasures of the treasure pavilion are all genuine, there should be no fakes.

The more Xia Yu looked, the more he liked it. He gently put down the teacup and asked Mr. Hua, “Old Mr. Hua, I am interested in this tea set. I don’t know the price?”

"Sell it to you for five thousand pounds, but you have to promise me one condition!"

Hua Lao announced a low price that surprised Xia Yu. It was too cheap to buy a set of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain tea cups for £5,000.

Of course, that unknown condition also made Xia Yu think that the important point was this, and he solemnly said, "Please tell me!"

Old Hua had a very serious expression. He looked straight at Xia Yu, and said solemnly: "You can't sell this tea set to foreigners. Even if you sell it to someone else, you must ask him to do so! This tea set can only Circulate in the hands of the Chinese!"

Xia Yu was taken aback by Hua Lao's request. He carefully looked at Hua Lao's expression and felt that this was his true inner thoughts.

Xia Yu's heart was slightly shaken, and with an inexplicable feeling, he solemnly nodded and promised: "Old Hua, don't worry, I will buy it for my own use, keep it for my own use, and keep it for future generations. I will not sell it! I don't need it. This little money!"

Hearing Xia Yu's assurance, Old Hua smiled and nodded kindly: "That's good."

"But Mr. Hua, is five thousand pounds too cheap?"

Xia Yu couldn't help but said aloud.

For this old man who gave him a special feeling, Xia Yu really couldn't bear it. Besides, he did not lack this little money, and there was no need to make himself feel guilty.

According to his estimation, if this tea set was put into future generations, it could sell for several million yuan, even if it was 1978, it would be too cheap.

I never thought that when I heard Xia Yu’s words, Old Hua shook his head and smiled, and said: "Mr. Xia, you were brought here by Young Master Wu. I am very relieved, so I sold it to you at this price. It’s less than a thousand pounds and it’s already very profitable. Of course, if the British come to buy it, let alone five thousand pounds, I won’t sell it for one million pounds!"

"Xia Yu, don't think too much, it's the price."

Wu Hongyi, who was standing behind Old Hua, agreed, and blinked at Xia Yu, Xia Yu could only give up.

Later Xia Yu bought another blue and white porcelain vase for only two thousand pounds.

Xia Yu stopped at the Porcelain Pavilion. Now there are too many doubts in his heart. Although he wants to buy them, it is not appropriate. Let's wait until the doubts in his heart are resolved.

Then, Hua Lao took Xia Yu and left the porcelain pavilion. He went to the Mu Pavilion, Yu Pavilion, Shu Pavilion, and Painting Pavilion to see them.

A set of blue and white porcelain, a blue and white porcelain vase, two paintings, a character, two huanghuali wood carvings and a red sandalwood wood carving, a total of eight, cost a total of 28,000 pounds, which is very cheap.

Of course, for each item, Hua Lao made a request, asking Xia Yu not to sell it to foreigners, Xia Yu agreed.

After all the antiques were packed, it was already past five o'clock. Xia Yu and the others left. Before leaving, Xia Yu looked deeply at the signboard of the Treasure Pavilion.

In the car going back, Xia Yu was full of doubts. The huge amount of treasures, the weird attitude of Hua Lao, the cheap price, etc. all made Xia Yu puzzled.

You must find Wu Hongyi to understand clearly before he can decide what to do next.
