Chapter 87: The Antique
He Yuzhu suppressed his inner excitement for a moment, closed the painting with a calm face, and said casually: "Where did these things come from?"
"It's been passed down in my family."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, He Yuzhu stopped asking more questions. Maybe he was a high-ranking official in the past.
Then he picked up a piece of writing in the package on the ground and pretended to read it.
However, He Yuzhu was a little stunned as soon as he unfolded it, because he saw the words "Ouyang Xun".
Ouyang Xun?
Is Ouyang Xun one of the four masters of regular script?
He Yuzhu suddenly became energetic and quickly lowered his head to read these regular script fonts.
I can see that the font is light but not thick, with free transitions, clear upper and lower veins, steady and solid structure, calm brushstrokes, smooth charm, square body and round pen, gentle yet strong.
"Sanxitang", "Emperor Guxi", "Children Yi"...
this……
This shouldn’t be wrong, right? The stamping maniac has stamped so many, no less than a dozen seals.
Seeing the seal of the mad devil in the lower right corner of this painting, He Yuzhu was sure that this was probably an authentic work!
It is not completely certain because few of Ouyang Xun's original works have survived, and all those seen online are rubbings from stone tablets.
Even if someone copies this calligraphy, it is still an antique and will be worth a lot of money.
But He Yuzhu looked at the calligraphy as if it were real.
Qianlong didn't just stamp on any calligraphy and painting casually. The more he liked the calligraphy and painting, the more stamps he stamped on it. The more he stamped, the less valuable the calligraphy and painting were...
For example, Wang Xizhi's famous work "Quick Snow and Clear Tie" was one that Qianlong liked very much and watched it every day.
"Quick Snow Shiqing Post" only has 28 characters in total! Qianlong actually deducted more than 100 seals at once! There are really more seals than characters!
And the cover of this painting is densely packed with words. What is this?
Not bad,
At least the sealing madman has authenticated it, and it is very likely to be an authentic one.
Ouyang Xun is known as one of the four major regular scripts and is known as "Ou Style"!
If I keep the original work and sell it later...
A "Heart Sutra" by Zhao Mengfu, one of the four masters of regular script in later generations, was auctioned for 1.9 billion! If this calligraphy and painting by Ouyang Xun is authentic, its value will be immeasurable.
He Yuzhu kept this for his own use. It doesn’t matter whether it is real or fake. We will also copy it, practice calligraphy, and cultivate our sentiments...
Then He Yuzhu looked at other things, such as jade, which he couldn't understand, but the workmanship was exquisite and delicate, and it was worth it at a glance.
There were two auspicious jade pendants with dragons and phoenixes. He Yuzhu liked them very much. He kept this one for Hu Meizhong, and they both had one piece each.
There is only one piece of porcelain, a blue porcelain vase.
The body of the bottle is snowflake blue, and the glaze is like scattered blue water droplets. The bottom of the bottle has the words "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" on it.
This should be the royal plaything "Sprinkled Blue Glaze". It used to be something in the palace!
During the Ming Dynasty, the production of "Sprinkled Blue Glaze" was very small due to technical problems, and most of them were kept in the palace. Later, the technology was improved during the reign of Emperor Chichangheixi, and the production increased. However, they were all in the palace, and there was little spread among the people.
This piece is still "sprinkled with blue glaze" during the Xuande period, which is also priceless!
How come this little man has so many good things, and it seems that they are all spread from the palace.
He Yuzhu put down the porcelain vase, raised his head and asked, "Brother, how do you want to sell these?"
No matter where it comes from, take it first and talk about it later!
The little man had been squatting at the door and looking carefully at the door. Hearing He Yuzhu's words, he turned around and moved closer, stretched out four fingers and whispered: "These are all good things, left by my grandfather."
Yes, if you can take them all, you can give me two hundred."
Two hundred is really not expensive! He Yuzhu pretended to pick up a brocade-wrapped box from the package. While looking down at the box, he replied in a disgusting tone: "Two hundred won't do it. Take these things out and see if anyone wants you."
There are so many things on the ground now that no one is picking them up, so I like them better, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to collect them.”
He Yuzhu looked carefully at the box in his hand under the moonlight.
Hexiahu brocade noodles, with an white jade sign on top. He Yuzhu lowered his head and took a closer look, only to discover that it was an ivory sign!
There are very obvious cow hair patterns on it, and anyone who knows it knows that this is a mark that only appears after the ivory ages.
Swipe down the ivory plate and you can see the words on the box, which read "Yongzheng Imperial Treasure" in six Chinese characters.
Let me go, is this the Yongzheng Jade Seal?
He Yuzhu wanted to open the box to see if there was really a jade seal inside, but he couldn't open it after flipping through it. He took a closer look and found that the box was made of pins and the mortise and tenon structure was very special. It would be difficult to open it if you didn't know how to do it.
"Brother, how do you open this box?"
He Yuzhu held up the box and asked the little man, "I don't know how to open it. Is there anyone who understands? Isn't this the seller?"
The little man took the box and pressed it on the front of the box. The box popped open and handed it to He Yuzhu. He whispered: "No, I won't sell it to you for less than this price. What I'm taking out now are all good."
Things, these are all things from the palace. I am short of money now, otherwise how could I sell you so many good things."
The little man also knew that no one outside would dare to collect it, but if it was found at home, it would be smashed, so he might as well sell it and pay back the money.
He had his eye on this man. He was very rich and very happy to buy things.
Unlike other people who spend a long time haggling over the price when buying something, such people won't buy it at the first sight.
And this one looks like a rich man at first glance.
It’s fun to buy things when you have money, but you can buy these things only when you have spare money.
He didn't have much hope at first. He had been wandering around the major pigeon markets for several days. Some people avoided these things like snakes and scorpions. When they heard this, they quickly shook their heads and left.
Some people really like to see if the price has been negotiated, and some people even report it, but thanks to their cleverness, they run away quickly when they find something is wrong.
He Yuzhu nodded. As expected, these things were spread from the palace.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the palace maids and eunuchs took advantage of the chaos and brought out so many good things!
Maybe the palace didn't even know how many things were lost because there were so many things. Later, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing and the Manchu Qing Dynasty abdicated, it was a period of chaos. How many people took things out of the palace and ran away.
This little man is either a palace maid or a eunuch, or an internal guard.
He Yuzhu took the opened box, carefully took out a "Jade Seal" from inside, held it in his hand and inspected it carefully.
The "Jade Seal" is entirely snow-white, with carved white jade dragon buttons. The bottom of the white jade is engraved with several Chinese seal characters "The Treasure of Yongzheng's Royal Brushstrokes".
Let me go, is it really the Yongzheng Jade Seal?
The seal jade is translucent, rich and pure, making it hard to put it down. It seems that it has been played with a lot.
He Yuzhu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, then thought about it, turned to the little man and said: "Brother, I won't bargain with you back and forth on the price. The fixed price is one hundred yuan. If you sell it, I will take it.
Otherwise, go ahead and find someone to sell them to, no one dares to collect these things now."
It's a buyer's market now. You have good stuff, but no one dares to buy it. It's not like He Yuzhu can bargain whatever he wants.
When the little man heard the price, he waved his hands and shook his head, and whispered, "No, no, it's too different, it's too different, my brother is increasing it."
He Yuzhu looked at the thing on the ground again, lazily grabbed it, and quickly took it down. It was not safe to stay here.
Pretending to be cruel, he nodded heavily and said, "Well, I'm giving you an increase of twenty, and I don't want any more.
The things are indeed good things, but I am also worried about the risk of receiving them. Otherwise, you can keep them for yourself."
After saying that, he looked at the little man and acted like if you refuse this price, I will leave immediately.
The little man was really afraid that He Yuzhu would leave, so he quickly stood up, rubbed his hands, and whispered with a smile: "Don't leave, the price is negotiable, you see it's going up..."
"It's impossible to keep going up. If you don't want to sell, forget it." He Yuzhu pretended to leave.
The little man quickly stopped and said, "Okay, I'll sell it at this price..."
In the darkness, the corners of He Yuzhu's mouth slightly raised, he got the treasure.
