Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 77 Who has better luck?

It took a month for Yang Yukun and Han Chunming to search through Jinmen, and indeed found a lot of good things.

Han Chunming found more old objects than Yang Yukun. He found more than 500 various old objects in Jinmen City.

There are many kinds of ceramic jade, calligraphy and painting miscellaneous.

Among the more than 500 old items, there are more than 160 items sold to him by Yang Yukun that are not of much collection value.

Among them, the most valuable old object that Han Chunming found was a "Qianlong Yulan Zhibao" seal made in the third year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty.

In a courtyard in Jinmen City, Han Chunming took out the seal for Yang Yukun to appreciate.

When the items are bought back, there needs to be a place to put them, and it is not convenient to live in a hotel.

Therefore, the two of them rented a vacant courtyard in Jinmen City as their accommodation in Jinmen.

"Xiao Kun, let's see how this precious seal is."

"Good thing, little fifth brother, I have to say that you are very lucky."

This square seal is made of fine copper, and the seals are three mythical beasts of different shapes, all four-legged, with a beast body, strong and powerful, with different heads, such as dragon head, beast head, and phoenix head, with fierce appearance.

The three beasts are entangled with each other, their body shapes are lifelike, and their hair, teeth and claws are all exquisite. The cloud patterns on their bodies and the flower tail behind them are in line with the artistic style of the Shoushan stone seal in the Yongzheng period.

In [-], Yongzheng passed away, and Hongli, the fourth son of the emperor, succeeded to the throne. His reign name was Qianlong, and history entered the Qianlong era.

According to the usual practice, whenever a new emperor succeeds to the throne, a corresponding seal must be engraved for the purpose of appreciation of art and literature.

It is roughly estimated that the number of seals engraved by Qianlong in his lifetime is as many as [-] square meters, which is the most in history.

And this Fang Baoxi is the first seal made by Qianlong after he ascended the throne. It is of great significance and has great collection value.

Han Chunming's luck is really undeniable. He found a Linglong Zun in the alleys that had been swept several times in the imperial capital before, and this time he found the first seal made by Qianlong after he ascended the throne.

"My buddy has always been very lucky, Xiaokun, I'm sorry, this time it's my buddy who won again."

"Well, in order to celebrate you winning me again, do you have to invite me to a restaurant for a big meal?"

"no problem."

Last year, he and Yang Yukun went to the countryside to search for old objects. He beat Yang Yukun, and the old objects he found were of better quality and more in quantity.

This time it was the same as before.

After Yang Yukun sold him the old things he didn't like, all he had left in his hands was a Kangxi blue and white Tianpan Wanshou Dazun and more than 20 paintings by modern painters.

Although this Longevity Great Exalted is also a very rare and good item, compared with his Fang Baoxi, it is still a bit inferior.

"Little Fifth Brother, I found out that I was looking for old things with you. I have exhausted my luck, and I can't find any good things at all."

Yang Yukun shook his head with a wry smile, but he was actually very happy.

Is Han Chunming really luckier than him?
of course not.

In fact, his luck has always been better than Han Chunming's.

Good is not a star.

Really thought that this time he found a piece of Longevity King and more than 100 paintings by modern painters, as well as the more than [-] objects that he didn't like and sold to Han Chunming that didn't have much collection value?

of course not.

Besides.

In the portable planting space, there are still fourteen treasures he found this time.

They are Qianlong imperial red-glazed flame blue-painted golden imperial inscription poem gall style bottles.

Qianlong famille rose hundred deer statue.

A large vase with turquoise green ground and foreign color painted golden lotus with eight auspicious patterns and Ruyi ears made by the Qianlong Emperor.

Qianlong imperial enamel colored bowl with apricot forest and spring swallows.

Qianlong enamel color golden pheasant picture amphora.

A Qianlong imperial enamel-coloured Poppy Poetry Bowl.

A pair of small Yongzheng carmine glazed bowls.

Yongzheng famille rose color bowl with six peaches and five bats crossing branches "Fushou Shuangquan".

Yongzheng famille rose pastel branches, blessings and longevity, eight peaches and five bats.

Kangxi Pink Ground Enamel Consecrated Flower Bowl.

Kangxi enamel colored yellow ground peony pattern bowl.

Kangxi imperial enamel colored rouge ground peony bowl.

A pair of Kangxi imperial enamelled and carmine-ground four seasons flower bowls.

And a Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu cup.

Among them, the most precious one is the Chenghua Dou Sanqiu Cup, which is even rarer than the chicken bowl cup.

Chicken bowl cups are not a rare object in the world. There are more than 20 pieces in the Forbidden City Museum alone.

But the Sanqiu Cup, before that, only had one pair.

In [-], Mr. Sun Yingzhou, a famous collector and appraiser of ancient ceramics, donated more than [-] pieces of cultural relics in his home collection to the Forbidden City Museum.

Among the more than 3000 cultural relics, there are more than 2000 pieces of ceramics.

Among them, 25 pieces of porcelain are positioned as first-class cultural relics, including this pair of Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu cups.

It is said that Mr. Sun bought this pair of Sanqiu cups from a pawn shop that was about to close down. He gritted his teeth and spent forty gold bars to get them into his pocket.

You must know that Mr. Lu Xun at the same time bought a courtyard house in the imperial capital, and he only spent a gold bar.

That is to say, the value of one Sanqiu cup at that time was equal to twenty sets of imperial courtyards.

Yang Yukun went to the Forbidden City Museum with his master before, and also saw this pair of Sanqiu cups, which can be called the treasure of the Forbidden City Museum and the leader of porcelain.

Yang Yukun didn't expect to gain so much from coming to Tianjin this time.

Such a rare Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu cup, unexpectedly let him find one.

This Sanqiu Cup was bought from a family in Jinmen City.

This family didn't understand its preciousness, so they put it on the altar and poured wine to respect their ancestors.

Yang Yukun bought the Sanqiu cup from this family for ten yuan.

In terms of luck, how lucky is Han Chunming?
Before Han Chunming found a Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup, he was often embarrassed in front of him.

If I knew that he bought a Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu Cup this time, I don't know what expression I would have.

"Let's go Xiaokun, I'm hungry, my brother invites you to a restaurant for a big meal."

This time I came to Jinmen, it was really worth it.

Not only did he find a lot of valuable old objects, but he also found the first official seal made after Qianlong ascended the throne.

It has to be celebrated.

The two go out.

I found a time-honored restaurant in Jinmen City, the name of the restaurant was Hong Qishun.

Han Chunming asked Yang Yukun to order.

Yang Yukun was not polite to him either, and ordered a braised ox tongue tail, a yellow braised beef, a high-quality old fried three, a yellow braised roast duck, and a bottle of Lutai spring wine.

The dishes were served, and the two chatted while eating and drinking.

"After dinner, call Lao Yang and ask him to drive over to pick us up tomorrow morning, and we'll go back tomorrow afternoon."

With so many things, it was very difficult for the two of them to take them back, so they had to call and ask Yang Huajian to drive the old Jiefang truck over, and they could take all the things back in one morning.
