Chapter 19: Yuan blue and white

Views:

There was no eagerness on Xia Shao's face, and she calmly led her friends around one by one. She didn't greet the stall owner with a smile until she reached the stall. shu mark 玷癞癹

The stall owner's surname was Zhao, and his name was Zhao Mingjun. He also knew Xia Shao. When he saw her coming, he greeted her warmly: "Xiao Xia, I see you again. Come on, come on, take a look at the new goods here. Maybe you can catch your eye." ."

Xia Shao nodded with a smile and glanced at the area marked by Zhao Mingjun. The big blue and white plate was in the area he marked.

Liu Cuicui and Du Ping didn't know how to do it, so they just stood back and watched. Fatty squatted down first and played with a porcelain bowl. He didn't even look at the large blue and white plate.

Grandpa Er said that starting in the 1980s, Jingdezhen began to imitate Yuan blue and white. These imitations spread all over the world, and China was the hardest hit area.

Pang Dun has admired Professor Zhou since he was a child, and he remembers everything he said clearly.

At this moment, Xia Shao knelt down and looked at the blue and white plate, observing it carefully.

This blue and white porcelain plate can be called a large plate, with a diameter of more than 50 centimeters by visual inspection, with a flying phoenix and cloud head pattern, a dense composition, blue and white glaze, blue and white hair color with blue and gray flashes, and is in perfect condition. Xia Shao touched it gently. The glaze looked like glutinous rice, and the bottom of the plate was tapered on the outside.

When Zhao Mingjun saw that Xia Shao had taken a liking to this large blue and white porcelain, he grinned and said, "Xiao Xia has good taste! Blue and white porcelain has been a hot collector these days, maybe this is Yuan blue and white porcelain! That can be called a national treasure, haha Ha ha!"

When he smiled, the stall owners next to him also laughed. It was obvious that they were making fun of Xia Shao, and no one thought it was Yuan Qinghua.

Blue and white porcelain was not only found in the Yuan Dynasty, but also existed in the Tang and Song dynasties, and down to the Ming and Qing dynasties. But only Yuan blue and white is the most popular. There are three reasons for this: First, the Yuan Dynasty existed for a short time in history, and there were naturally much less porcelain than other dynasties. Secondly, in the early Ming Dynasty, there was a porcelain destruction movement, which destroyed many Yuan porcelains, making Yuan blue and white porcelain even rarer. Third, the social status of the literati in the Yuan Dynasty was low. Due to the pressure of life, many literati and painters turned to folk handicrafts to make a living. As a result, the painting techniques and patterns of Yuan blue and white flowers were qualitatively leapfrog compared to the previous dynasties! Therefore, the Yuan Dynasty, which only had a history of 98 years, gave birth to the wonderful Yuan blue and white flower, which opened up a height that was difficult to reach in the Ming and Qing dynasties!

To put it bluntly, Yuan blue and white porcelain is of good quality and rare in existence, so it is the most sought after among blue and white porcelain.

However, it is precisely because of the scarcity of authentic pieces and the proliferation of imitations on the market that collectors intuitively assume that blue and white porcelain is a new imitation when they see it. This made the pearl covered in dust, and no one dared to recognize it.

Xia Shao smiled faintly, but felt a little excited inside. Over the years, she has picked up many mistakes, and has long since reached a state where she can take it calmly. But Yuan Qinghua is really rare, at least this is the first time she has encountered it in five years! Not only did she conclude that this was Yuan blue and white, but it was also very likely that it was from an official kiln.

Because the large plate in front of you has a flying phoenix pattern, and according to the laws of the Yuan Dynasty, dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, white rabbits, lingzhi, etc., are not allowed to be used by ministers and common people. Therefore, this kind of forbidden decoration is usually official kiln wares!

In Xia Shao's memory, a blue and white Yuan Dynasty ghost valley descending the mountain pot was sold at Christie's in the UK for a sky-high price of 230 million, becoming the number one Asian art, shocking the domestic academic community, art collection circles and investment market.

Although in the antique shop, utensils such as bowls and plates are worth less than bottles and jars, but this is genuine Yuan blue and white, and it is a large plate, so the price will not be lower!

Xia Shao stared at the blue and white plate in her hand, and an idea gradually formed in her heart.

However, she didn't show any emotion on the surface, and even showed a shy smile, "Uncle Zhao, please don't laugh at me. If this is an open door, you can let me even touch it." The so-called "open door" is a jargon, referring to There is no doubt that something is genuine.

"Hahaha." Zhao Mingjun laughed loudly, "You are considered a sensible person. Seeing that you speak honestly and have been studying the market for several years, Uncle Zhao will no longer be confused with you. This object has no origin. Gao, if you really like it, you can play with it at this price."

As he spoke, Zhao Mingjun stretched out two fingers.

"Ah? Two hundred yuan? A plate is so expensive! The one I saw just now is a bracelet and can be worn. What can you do with such a plate?" Liu Cuicui rolled her eyes, but Du Ping said nothing and just looked at Xia Shao.

Pang Dun secretly pulled Xia Shao from the side and gave her a look of "Do you really want to buy it?"

Xia Shao ignored him and said, "Uncle Zhao, you also know that I am a student and don't have much pocket money. I really don't have so much money with me. You also said that this item is of low origin, so why don't you just give it to me?" "Said, stretched out a finger.

Zhao Mingjun said: "Oh, this can't be done. Uncle Zhao also needs capital to do business. Your kill is too big. I will give you half of it at most. If it doesn't work, I will have nothing to do."

Fatty continued to pull Xia Shao, but Xia Shao smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, can you pinch and calculate? I really only have so much with me, and there is no more." After that, he took out a One hundred and fifty yuan was paid to Zhao Mingjun.

When Zhao Mingjun saw the money, he took it with a smile, "In your profession, Uncle Zhao, you naturally have some eyesight. It's not much worse than being able to pinch and count, hahaha."

Naturally, Zhao Mingjun didn't know that the person squatting in front of him was truly capable of calculation and was the 106th generation direct disciple of Xuanmen.

Zhao Mingjun put the money in his pocket. This item was sold in the rural market. It only cost 30 yuan, and he turned it over several times after changing hands. If an old collector takes a fancy to this object, he won't be able to buy it easily without a few friends to help him take care of it. Therefore, students’ money is easy to make.

Zhao Mingjun was happy. At this moment, he looked at Xia Shao, who was squatting on the ground, carefully wrapping the blue and white plate in newspapers and putting it in his schoolbag. His eyes looked like he was looking at someone who was taken advantage of.

The stall owners at the nearby stalls also looked over, some shaking their heads and some disdainfully, but no one spoke.

According to the rules in the industry, you cannot regret the return after making a transaction.

As everyone knows, Xia Shao was thinking the same thing at this time.

The test of this industry is your eyesight. If you miss the sale, you can only blame your own short sight. Just like the Duan Inkstone that Professor Zhou picked up and missed, although the stall owner missed it and regretted it terribly, he could not get it back because the deal had been concluded.

Xia Shao put her bag on her back and said a few words to Zhao Mingjun before leaving with Liu Cuicui and others.

As soon as she walked far away, Liu Cuicui couldn't help but said, "Shaozi, you damn girl, you really don't have a lot of money to spend! Who spends 150 yuan to buy a plate? Let's serve it. It's big. Let's put it on the table." , What’s so nice about setting out a plate? Who doesn’t have a plate yet?”

Fatty burst out laughing at the side, "Sister Cuicui, if this is genuine, it would be great to keep as a decoration at home! But the problem is that it cannot be genuine. I think this is probably a Jingdezhen imitation. My second grandfather said , Jingdezhen's imitation Yuan blue and white is also good, but there are high-end ones and low-end ones. The high-end ones are hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands, and there are also low-end ones that cost one or two hundred yuan. Uncle Zhao just said, this The item was not from a good source, so it must have been collected somewhere. Shaozi spent 150 to buy it, so he was really taken advantage of. Uncle Zhao may not be feeling happy now!"

Although Pang Dun is only fifteen, he has been exposed to antiques for several years and speaks fluently. Even Liu Cuicui, who usually thought he was dull, couldn't help nodding at this time, feeling that Xia Shao had made a loss.

Du Ping frowned, stopped, glared at Pang Dun and said, "Since you know so clearly, why didn't you say anything just now?"

Fatty scratched his head, with an innocent look on his face, "Brother Du Ping, you can't accuse me wrongly. I've been holding her back. She insisted on buying it, so I couldn't say anything. The business in this industry is inherently consensual. "

"What kind of business are you in? How old are you? You don't even have hair. Don't mention this business to me!" Du Ping was angry and pulled Xia Shao back. "That guy named Zhao is not a trap." Do you think we are students and can be bullied because we don’t understand anything? Let’s go! I’ll take you back to argue with him and ask him to return the money to you! We don’t want this broken plate anymore!”

Xia Shao's forehead was covered with black lines and she couldn't laugh or cry. She finally got it and asked her to give it back

Du Ping's face was inexplicably red at this time, and Xia Shao's wrist was white, tender and smooth. It was very elastic and could be broken by blowing, which was an indescribable good touch. This was not the first time he had pulled her since she was a child, and for some reason this time her heart was beating fast.

Du Ping wished he could slap himself in the face. How long had it been, and he was still thinking about this! He pulled Xia Shao and left, "Let's go and argue with that guy named Zhao! Don't worry, even if you beat him, I will beat him until he is willing to refund his money!"

Pang Dun quickly chased after him and said, "Brother Du Ping! Uncle Zhao can't quit. There is no return rule in this business, and there is no such thing as cheating! You..."

He stopped talking before he finished speaking. When Du Ping turned around and glared at him, he was obviously really angry. He was so frightened that Pang Dun didn't dare to say anything more. I thought to myself, today is going to be a big joke, and no one will want to see them when they come to the antique market in the future.

Unexpectedly, Xia Shao retracted her wrist without leaving a trace and stopped, "Brother Du Ping, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I really like this plate and will not give it back."

There was a smile on her face, but her eyes were firm and calm, and she had an aura that made people dare not say anything anymore.

Du Ping was startled. When Xia Shao withdrew his wrist from his control, he felt an inexplicable force shake his palm, and then he flicked his hand away. Was it his imagination... or...

"This matter is still the same as before. You all will keep it a secret for me. Especially Pang Dun, don't tell Professor Zhou about today's matter." Xia Shao instructed.

Over the years, she and her friends had only bought items at the antique market a few times, only three or five times, and each time she asked them to keep it a secret for her. Especially Professor Zhou, he is an old collector. If he knew that she had bought something, he would definitely come and take a look at it. If he found out that it was a genuine item, it would be a big deal, 10% of the time** Xia Guoxi needs to know. That means Xia Shao's family also needs to know.

At her current age, it is impossible for her family to let her keep these antiques after they find out. Moreover, there will definitely be a turmoil among the relatives in the family. With their personalities, if anyone comes to say something, things will become uncontrollable. She took control.

Xia Shao didn't feel bad for giving these antiques to her parents, but she knew that they didn't understand this business, let alone maximize the value of these antiques. At that time, the relatives will talk about it, and depending on the parents' personalities, they may separate. All the hard work she had accumulated over the years was likely to be lost.

It's no wonder that Xia Shao thinks too much. She knew too much about her relatives in her previous life.

In the next life, these things that may happen, she will definitely nip them in the cradle! She already has a mature plan in her mind, and she will look for opportunities to take action!

Seeing that Xia Shao was determined, Liu Cuicui and others knew that it was useless to persuade them, so they could only nod and said: "Okay, how have we not been on your side? The money you spent would have been lost if your grandfather and Parents know that your butt is about to bloom, and for the sake of your butt, we can only keep it a secret for you."

Liu Cuicui blinked and Xia Shao smiled, "Thank you, let's go back by car."

Fatty had a strange expression on his face, but Du Ping was still thinking about what happened just now.

The four of them left the antique market and got into the car going back.

As soon as the car started, a short, fat man in his forties hurried to Zhao Mingjun's stall with an old man in the antique market.

The man was respectful to the old man, glanced at the stall, and was stunned for a moment. Then he felt like his head was exploding. He grabbed Zhao Mingjun with a pale face, shook his hands and asked loudly: "Boss Zhao! What was he saying just now?" Where’s the blue and white plate here?”

------Digression-----

I want to complain about my cover! It turns out that the girl on the cover is so beautiful~ Wei Mao artist changed it for me!

The editor actually said that the original cover was unqualified because it was too romantic!

Come on, what am I writing about romance? Yuanmu... maybe, probably, maybe, it really isn't a pure romance...
