Riding the wind of rebirth

"Since Master Yang is the mediator, we won't pay the price of just visiting the house." Zhang Cheng showed his charlatanism.

Lin Wanqiu also added with a smile: "But you can't follow the market price at the auction, let alone the market price overseas."

"Actually, the price that Uncle Fei gave was about the same." Zhou Zhi said, "In the capital the year before last, Mr. Ma bought two dragon robes for Mr. Pan. The emperor's court clothes in Minghuangdi cost 2 yuan."

Zhang Cheng said: "Refer to the price of the previous year and turn it over one by one, it is [-]. Because it is the empress's regular clothes, the price is lower than the dragon robe; it is not bright yellow, and the court clothes are lower. So on the basis of [-] Gotta get a discount."

"3 yuan, what does Teacher Yang think?"

Yang Ting looked at Yang Dequan, who sighed: "Weaving requires much more labor than calligraphy and painting, but the price is very different. It's about the same price now."

"Twenty thousand the year before last was a price that could only be sold in the capital. Mr. Zhang actually gave it a higher price."

"Then let's sell it." Yang Ting was already happy. If the old man left just one coat, he could exchange it for a dormitory, including all the decorations: "I don't know how many people... who wants it?"

"How about you take it, Sister Wanqiu?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Take it to maintain relations with Mr. Pan, Mr. Feng and the others."

"They grew up underground in the imperial city, so they prefer this." Lin Wanqiu nodded, "Okay, I'll take this one."

Except for this dragon coat in the suitcase, the rest are ordinary. Although it is also a fine piece of embroidery in the late Qing Dynasty, the value of academic research is greater than the value of cultural relics.

In other words, it cannot be bought as a cultural relic.

The wardrobe is very particular, and there are certain rules and regulations for its use during performances. For a well-organized troupe, the suitcases must be "ten pythons and ten props", and they must be arranged in the upper five colors and the lower five colors, that is, red, yellow, and green. Place the ten colors in the order of , white, black, blue, purple, pink, bronze and autumn fragrance.

This set of suitcases is missing two sets and one set is missing. It is a pity that it is not complete.

In the end, it was Yang Dequan who made the promise, saying that he would search all over Shudu and put together all the suits for Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi only spent 5000 yuan to get the big box, and he planned to take it back and donate it to the school.

The second box was opened, but it was the second suitcase.

The items in the second suitcase include all kinds of martial arts attire, such as arrow clothing, mandarin jacket, big back, tea clothing, waist bag, hugging clothing, fighting clothing, system clothing, large armor, monkey clothing and so on.

Similarly, the value of academic research is greater than the value of cultural relics, especially the monkey suit. The yellow ground is covered with small bats and peaches. From a distance, it looks like a monkey's hair. , what a wonderful situation it would be.

In addition, what should belong to the three suitcases are thick-soled boots, chaofang, colorful shoes, flag shoes, cloud shoes, lucky shoes, colorful trousers, fat jackets, green robes, dragon suits, etc., and they are all stuffed into this big mouth in the box.

In the end, Zhou Zhi won it at a price of [-], and was still planning to donate it to the school.

When they cleared the bottom of the box, everyone found a big bag of stone green silk and satin. When they opened it, they found a set of props inside, including buckle belt, luan belt, silk sash, jade pendant, and tooth wat, a total of five pieces.

Zhou Zhi took out the buckle and found that the belt was an ordinary belt, but the eight jade ornaments inlaid on the belt were all Hetian white jade.

"This is a bit interesting." Zhou Zhi smiled and handed the buckle to everyone to see: "The jade ornaments on it are genuine."

The luan belt and silk sash are worthless. The luan belt is a kind of silk belt worn with arrow clothing. There are beards at both ends as decoration. A "bowknot" is tied around the waist, and the two ends hang down, which is very beautiful.

The silk sash is a product for female dans, which is narrower than the luan belt and covered with embroidery.

The remaining two pieces, one jade pendant and one tooth wat, are genuine again.

The quality of the jade pendant is exactly the same as that on the buckle belt. The pattern is hollowed out and carved. The upper part is a sea dongqing, and the sharp claws are grasping the neck of a swan below. There are reed carvings around the swan, connecting the whole jade pendant into one Overall, the design is still very delicate, and the carving is also quite exquisite.

But this is a typical theme of ethnic minorities. Everyone judges that it is not a high ancient jade. Judging from the workmanship, it should be from the middle Qing Dynasty.

This in turn proves the age of jade ornaments on leather belts. Although everyone is not a jade expert, the industry rule is to look at the new and not the old.

The eight pieces of jade on the leather belt are not easy to date. Based on the carvings of the patterns on the jade pendants and the age of the two suitcases, they all belong to Tongzhi Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty.

Everyone likes to say that "gold is valuable but jade is priceless", but in the literary and art industry, the price of jade has not increased since the founding of New China.

The reason is very simple. Bronze and jade articles that are not handed down from ancient times are prohibited from being sold or exported abroad.

Without buying and selling, there would be no opportunity for hype, which also led to the sluggish price of ancient jade all over the world. Later, after the rise of culture and entertainment, there was even a magical phenomenon of "upside down the old and the new".

It is the modern jade crafts carved by craftsmen, and the price even exceeds most ancient jades. Even in the overseas circulation market, the price of handed down jades cannot be compared with that of porcelain, which is totally unreasonable.

Therefore, Lin Wanqiu is not very interested in these items, she would rather get them abroad, at least the market is much better than domestic ones.

In the end, everyone discussed it and felt that 5 yuan was enough.

But after the price was set, no one wanted it. This time Fei Guan was not even willing to take the bottom.

Chinese people still don't have the habit of wearing jade, even if it's hard to cultivate, there are still a lot of Dai Xinyu.

Everyone knows where ancient jade comes from. Well, it’s unlucky to mess with something dirty...

"Then how about...we give way a little more?" Seeing that everyone was unwilling to take over, Yang Shangqiu was a little anxious.

Yang Ting is a smarter teacher: "Just now Mr. Zhou said that he is willing to donate clothes to Shu University for research, so I wonder if we can also make some contributions."

"How about this, plus this tooth wat, if Mr. Zhou is willing to spend 6 yuan to get it, we will give the contents of the other two boxes to Mr. Zhou, and you have to donate it to the school If so, you can have a roughly complete set.”

The other two boxes, one is called the helmet box, and the other should have been two, which should be called the miscellaneous box and the handle box respectively.

Combined with the previous suitcases, these are the "four major boxes" of the "outfit" in the opera world-clothes, helmets, miscellaneous items, and handles.

There are mainly four kinds of helmets, hats, crowns and scarves in the helmet box.

In addition, there are nets, water gauze, pheasant tail feathers, fox tails, flicked hair, bun hair, ear hair, hair buns and various beards worn by actors on their heads.

The miscellaneous box is also called a color box or a combing table.

The color box is used for facial makeup, smearing, hooking, makeup removal, and face washing for male characters.

The hair combing table is specially set up for combing big heads, ancient costume hair, coloring, patching, inserting silver pao, emerald pao, diamond pao and silk flowers and other ornaments.

The handle box is the largest and should have been rectangular. It contains weapons such as knives, spears, swords, and halberds, as well as tents, mountains, cities, tombs, monuments, and other scenery;
There are also the four treasures of the study, seals, tea and wine utensils, flags and arrows, horse whips, carts, boats, wind, and fire flags, as well as imperial decrees, incense cases, flags, gongs, umbrellas, newspapers and dramas such as family law, shackles, copper hammers, chessboards, Special props such as flute and flute.

But the things in this yard are all "private outfits".
