After walking for a while, Gu Ning saw an aura object, a large pastel plate with nine peaches and five bat patterns, 30 centimeters in diameter.
The white glaze background of the plate is clean, crystal clear, and has a strong jade texture. This plate is a representative work of Yongzheng's pastels. The white glaze background and the painting colors are pure and fine. Together, they produce an elegant and noble artistic effect. Therefore, it will be mistaken for a fake, and outsiders will never think it is an antique, even if the bottom of the plate has the words "Made in the Yongzheng Year of the Qing Dynasty" written in a double circle of blue and white in two vertical rows.
The picture on the plate is elegant and clear. The peach color is red, fresh but not bright, and has changes. The transition from yellow to red, with spots of red, is just right.
The peach blossoms have long leaves, and the yin and yang effects are clear, but not too dazzling. The leaves on the front are green, and the green on the back is bluish and darker, reflecting the changes in the light-receiving surface. The leaves are reasonably densely distributed and dynamic, echoing the alum red bat. The peach blossoms are painted with meticulous brushwork, the buds are in bud and blooming, and the layers are very clear.
Gu Ning asked the price and it was sold for two thousand, so Gu Ning paid directly.
Originally, Leng Shaoting wanted to pay Gu Ning, but Gu Ning refused, saying that it would be meaningless if he was asked to pay.
Holding a pastel plate with nine peaches and five bat patterns, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting continued to walk forward.
Just as Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left, a middle-aged man and an old man in his seventies hurriedly came in and stopped in front of the stall where Gu Ning bought a large pastel plate with nine peaches and five bat patterns.
"Master, this is it..." the middle-aged man said respectfully, but before he finished speaking, he was stunned when his eyes passed over the stall.
Then, it exploded, and he asked loudly and tremblingly: "Old boss, where is the pastel nine-peach-five-bat pattern plate I saw just now!"
The boss was a little dazed when he was asked. Although he didn't know this person, he recognized the old man next to him. He was the director of the museum, the president of the Antiques Association, and an expert on antiques, Gu Changjiang.
The middle-aged man just looked at it for a while, but finally shook his head and left. He felt worried, but now he is back, and he also brought an antique expert with him.
Suddenly, the boss had an unknown premonition. Could it be that the pastel plate with nine peaches and five bat patterns was real
"Boss, I'm asking you something!" When he didn't get an answer from the boss, the middle-aged man couldn't help but raise his voice.
The boss was startled and immediately said: "Sell it, sell it."
"What? Sold?" The middle-aged man felt his eyes darken, and he couldn't accept it. Although he was not sure it was true, he was 50% sure, so he went to the store in front to find his master. look.
After only a few minutes, the boss actually told him that he had sold it and asked him how he could accept it.
With a "gudong" sound, the boss swallowed hard. Could it be that the pastel plate with nine peaches and five bat patterns was real
The more he thought about it, the faster his heart beat and he was about to have a heart attack. If it were true, wouldn't he have suffered a huge loss
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…
"Who sold it?" the middle-aged man asked immediately. It had only been a few minutes, but he must still be in the antique street.
"Yes, it's a little girl and a young man." The boss said absently.
"Where did they go?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.
"On the right," the boss said.
"Master, if we chase him, we should be able to catch him," the middle-aged man said.
Naturally, they were chasing it not to rob it, but to collect it intentionally and wanted to ask the other party if they could transfer it. "Wait a minute." Seeing that they were about to leave, the boss reacted and asked hurriedly: "Brother, is that plate real?"
"Not sure yet," the middle-aged man said, then ignored the boss and hurriedly chased after Gu Changjiang.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting walked very slowly, and soon the middle-aged man and Gu Changjiang caught up with them.
Gu Ning held the pastel plate with nine peaches and five bat patterns in his hand, so the middle-aged man and Gu Changjiang recognized it at a glance.
"Girl, please stay." The middle-aged man immediately blocked Gu Ning's way. Although this was very rude, he couldn't care about that much at the moment.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting both stopped. Seeing the eager and anxious look on each other's faces, they figured it was something urgent, so they didn't feel unhappy.
But when Gu Ning was about to ask the other party what happened, he saw the old man next to the middle-aged man and was slightly surprised. And when they looked at the pastel plate with nine peaches and five bat patterns in her hand, they roughly guessed the reason.
"Mr. Gu," Gu Ning called.
"You know me?" Gu Changjiang was a little surprised, but looking at the other person, he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Seeing this, Gu Ning smiled and said, "We met at the Qin family's birthday party. Mr. Gu and I have the same surname. My name is Gu Ning."
"Ah! So it's you!" After saying this, Gu Changjiang remembered it and was immediately surprised. Because Gu Ning was wearing makeup at that time, but now he is bare-faced, and there is something different, so Gu Changjiang felt that he looked familiar and did not recognize him.
But I remember Gu Ning's name deeply!
"Mr. Gu is chasing after me because of this pastel plate with nine peaches and five bat patterns!" Gu Ning asked.
"Yes! My apprentice just passed by the stall and saw this large pastel plate with nine peaches and five bat patterns. He was not sure whether it was genuine or not, so he asked me to go to Palm Eye. Unexpectedly, when he came back, the plate was sold. I learned that I wanted to buy this large plate. The man didn't go far, so he chased after him and wanted to see it with his own eyes." Gu Changjiang said, his expression full of expectation.
"Since Mr. Gu wants to see it, let's see it!" Gu Ning generously handed the plate to Gu Changjiang.
Gu Changjiang's face suddenly showed joy: "Why don't I invite you two to the teahouse next to you to rest for a while and watch it slowly?"
Gu Ning did not refuse and followed Gu Changjiang's master and apprentice. Leng Shaoting naturally followed Gu Ning.
Gu Changjiang looked at it for a while, and when he was sure it was genuine, he became even more excited and asked Gu Ning, "Gu girl, when you bought this pastel nine peach and five bat pattern platter, did you know it was genuine?"
Gu Ning smiled and said calmly: "Actually, I'm not very sure, but I just thought the probability was high, so I bought it. If it's pierced, this plate would look pretty good, and it would be good as a decoration. Moreover, How many of these antiques are inconspicuous?”
Gu Changjiang nodded, admiring Gu Ning's eyes and appreciating her courage.
Antiques depend on luck, vision and courage.
Just like that middle-aged man, he missed the treasure because of his luck, lack of eyesight, and most importantly, lack of courage, so he didn't dare to buy it easily.
"Gu Yatou, I would like to ask you, do you want to sell this pastel nine peach and five bat pattern plate?" Gu Changjiang asked. He intends to collect this pastel nine peach and five bat pattern plate. If Gu Ning can make a move, he wants to purchase.
