Chapter 127 It’s better to lack than to waste
Xu Youyou generously handed him the photos taken with her mobile phone, then looked at Lu Jingyao and said, "Mr. Lu paid for this birdcage."
Wang Huaigu looked at the photo and said: "Looking at the appearance, it is estimated to cost more than 10 million."
Xu Youyou nodded slightly: "Sixteen million after tax."
Regret surged on Wang Huaigu's face again. After all, he was very close to owning the birdcage at that time. As long as he spent 10,000 yuan more, he could rely on Lao Zhang to deliver the birdcage.
"You are still a young man with sharp eyes. You could tell that this was a treasure in the store." Wang Huaigu sighed, and couldn't help but become happy, and said: "I will talk to Lao Zhang about this later, so that I can He is evil-hearted and only wants to defraud people of their money, but he didn’t expect that he was the one who suffered the big loss!”
"Mr. Wang, there is something here that I want you to take care of." Suddenly someone came over and invited Wang Huaigu.
Wang Huaigu wanted to say a few more words to Xu Youyou, but after taking a look at the person who came to invite him, he could only say sorry to Xu Youyou: "Miss Xu, let's talk in detail later."
< br>
Xu Youyou nodded slightly.
Wang Huaigu was pulled towards a room.
Lu Jingyao saw more and more people coming in the yard and said proactively: "You like porcelain. Porcelain is usually in Hall No. 1."
The Wuming Villa was divided into small halls based on the types of antiques. Lu Jingyao was very familiar with this place and led her straight towards the front hall.
Looking from a distance, people were already moving around inside.
Xu Youyou looked up and glanced at the plaque on the door, which read: "Shengxue."
"The white bowl of the Jun family is better than the frost and snow, and it is pitiful to send it to the Mao Zhai in a hurry. It is a poem by Du Fu." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao nodded: "This plaque will be changed every time there is an exchange meeting, but every time it is porcelain in Hall 1."
Xu Youyou asked: "The Lin family highly respects porcelain?"
Lu Jingyao said: "The Lin family has a long history. It is said that when his grandfather got rich, he found a Ru kiln on a street stall."
Ru kiln was the first of the five kilns in the Song Dynasty. There has always been a saying that "even if you have a huge fortune, it is not as good as a piece of Ru kiln." This shows how precious Ru kiln is.
As soon as Xu Youyou entered the living room, she immediately saw a group of people surrounding a place. When she got closer, she saw that it was a piece of insulating glass similar to a museum, with a solitary piece of porcelain placed inside.
The whole body is azure, so beautiful that people lose all the words to describe it.
"This is the Lin family's ice-cracked Ru kiln azure glaze wash. They made their fortune back then. Later, when the Lin family got rich, they bought it back with a huge sum of money." Lu Jingyao explained.
Exhibiting this precious collection can be regarded as a reserved program of previous antique exchange meetings.
"It's so beautiful. Doesn't anyone want to buy it?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao said: "There are also people who pay exorbitant prices, but the Lin family's grandfather made an explanation before his death. The Lin family did not dare to disobey it and refused to sell it no matter what."
Someone nearby heard the two talking about this and took the initiative to say: "Every antique family has its own treasures passed down, and they are all donated. No one except the He family will throw family heirlooms everywhere."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but become curious after hearing this, and asked: "Throwing family heirlooms around? Why is that?"
"Why else? You're sick. The He family is like this. They are always nagging and crazy." The man said.
Seeing that he was unwilling to elaborate, Xu Youyou looked at Lu Jingyao for help.
Lu Jingyao had only heard of the He family, but didn't know much about it: "The He family is now the last among the four major antique families, but it has the longest inheritance and has never fallen out of the four major antique families."
When Xu Youyou heard this, she immediately understood that although the He family was not the strongest, it had always been strong.
She became curious about another question: "Are these four major aristocratic families always changing?" Lu Jingyao nodded: "These names are all self-appointed, whoever is stronger is the one. Before, there were those small and unpopular families who were shouting. I want to get ten aristocratic families.”
Xu Youyou:......
Among the top ten aristocratic families, I feel that they have become inferior for some reason.
"Chunyan in the Apricot Grove, made by Emperor Qianlong, this is so beautiful!"
Xu Youyou rarely heard noises in the quiet exhibition hall.
No matter how beautiful your kiln is, you can only see it from a distance every year. And the newly delivered porcelain may be put on the auction block, and it may be bought and hidden by someone. Naturally, everyone is interested in the new treasure. more interested.
Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao inevitably turned their heads. When they got closer, they saw a small white bowl being held in the moonlight by the stars.
The shape of the bowl is elegant and the texture is fine. The bowl is painted with images of apricot forest in spring and two swallows flying together, making it look very interesting.
There are two poems on the other side: "The jade scissors pass through the flowers, and the neon clothes return with the moon."
"It's a poem by Shen Shixing of the Ming Dynasty. It's placed here, and it really complements the painting on this vase." Xu Youyou said softly.
While talking, the person showing the enamel bowl turned his hand over, revealing the blue material on the bottom with the inscription: "Made in the Qianlong Year."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xu Youyou wanted to try it, but there were many people queuing up to do it. Now that she had maxed out her porcelain appraisal skills, she could get closer and take a few more glances to realize that such interesting and vibrant patterns could not be imitated by imitations.
"A treasure passed down from generation to generation." Xu Youyou concluded.
Lu Jingyao nodded: "If you think it is good, then it must be right."
Xu Youyou asked: "Do you want to buy it?"
Lu Jingyao shook his head and pointed at Xu Youyou, the middle-aged man who was looking at the porcelain carefully.
"With this gentleman here, the porcelain of the Qianlong Dynasty will not fall into the hands of others."
Xu Youyou asked: "Everyone in porcelain?"
Lu Jingyao shook his head: "He personally loves collecting Qianlong antiques."
Xu Youyou thought of Qianlong's farmhouse aesthetics. Although the porcelain techniques during Qianlong's reign had reached a state of perfection, most of them focused on showing off skills, and the aesthetics varied.
The middle-aged man in front of him, who is obsessed with collecting Qianlong antiques, has a handsome face, elegant temperament, and very plain clothes. He looks like the handsome uncle who was once popular.
It's really hard for Xu Youyou to imagine that such a person could resonate so much with Qianlong. After all, from the outside, he looks like the kind of person who loves Yongzheng porcelain.
"This piece of porcelain from the Qianlong period is particularly elegant and has great collection value," Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao nodded with deep sympathy.
Xu Youyou continued to look at the collections brought by others, but she quickly finished them. In addition to the small Qianlong enamel bowl, there was also a Yongle blue and white jade pot and spring vase.
Apart from this, there was no other porcelain in the small hall.
Xu Youyou looked at Lu Jingyao with doubtful eyes. Such a large hall, with a few porcelain pieces alone, seemed strangely deserted.
Lu Jingyao explained: "It is better to have less than to overload. Every year, guests often bring no more than five pieces of porcelain. If it is not top-quality porcelain, collectors will not bring it over at all."
