Chapter 146 Southern Song Dynasty Mohula

"Hello, Professor Xiang... Oh, Professor Lin is your student? I really don't know... Well, it's the one-word long blessing crown that Empress Dowager Xiaojing wore when she was named Jingpin..."

"The buyer is not me, but Mr. Zheng... Yes, the seller of the last batch..."

"Why don't I buy it myself? Oh, it was dug out from the tomb, and it was placed in the mourning hall for many years, so I don't like it very much..."

"Ah...Professor Chen said I'm the only one who pays attention? Haha..."

"That thing? I don't have a clue for now, so I must find it slowly..."

"Go back and treat me to dinner? No problem..."

Cheering and chatting for five or six minutes, Zheng Wanjiu was so envious.

That is Xiang Zhiqing, a leading figure in the cultural world, who can usually be seen on TV and in the videos of the news media.

But talking to Li Ding'an so casually?
He listened eagerly, and when Li Dingan hung up the phone, he straightened his expression again, and pushed the box forward: "Teacher Li!"

What do you mean?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Ding'an understood, and shook his head with a smile: "Don't... the price you paid, the item must be yours!"

This is the truth, if he wants to buy it, he can make his own bid, and there is no need to go through extra procedures.

It's not that you don't want to make money, relying on Zheng Wanjiu to find Yuanming blue and white is only second, but he has a wide range of receiving and shipping channels, as long as you can establish a stable relationship with him, there is absolutely no shortage of good things.

The rest is nothing more than eye-catching.

But if there is no profit to be made, why should people run around for you, just to follow behind and call you "teacher"?
Naturally, everyone gets what they need. To put it bluntly, they just want to make money...

Zheng Wanjiu naturally understood, but he didn't expect Li Ding'an to be so generous?

Don't listen to what Professor Xiang said on the phone, these two things can sell for 600 million if they are less...

"You keep it!"

Zheng Wanjiu nodded, and asked courteously: "Mr. Li, there is a night market in Yuewang Temple, why don't you go?"

Antique night market?It's rare...

"How are things?"

"Twenty to thirty percent... More than one-third of my batch of miscellaneous items were bought in Yuewang Temple..."

[-] to [-]%...the authenticity rate is already very high.

Just like Bipanjiayuan, or Liulichang, if you add up all the objects and calculate the ratio, you will be able to reach the top of the sky.

At least it shows that the antique owners of Yuewang Temple are very conscientious...

Li Ding'an thought for a while: "It's not convenient to hold things, let's do it tomorrow!"

This is true, the box is indeed quite heavy.

Zheng Wanjiu followed the good advice: "Okay, then tomorrow!"

After returning to the hotel, Li Ding'an and Zheng Wanjiu chatted for a while after having a casual meal in the restaurant.

This time Li Ding'an talked a little more. What he was looking for was the imperial porcelain of the late Qing Dynasty, that is, the two famille rose vases.

Zheng Wanjiu was very concerned, and made a special trip to call Mr. Pan.

But to be honest, with such a big store, the items that come in every year are five or six hundred if not one thousand.Mr. Pan didn't remember exactly which one was taken back from where and from whom.

I just remember that the two famille rose vases were collected in the store, three or four years ago, the seller was an old man, and he also set up two imitation blue and white bowls.

As for where it came from... the old man said it, but Mr. Pan had long forgotten.

Besides, it is only something from the late Qing Dynasty, unlike the antiques before the Ming Dynasty, which pay so much attention to inheritance and origin.So she didn't pay much attention at all...

Well, it means that the clues are cut off directly.

But it's useless to be anxious, you can only try your luck...

……

The next day, the blue sky was like washing, the clouds were light and the wind was light.

Yuewang Temple is one of the West Lake scenic spots. Although it is not a weekend, there are still many tourists, bustling and lively.

Li Ding'an deliberately let the taxi drive to the lake, and then walked along the pedestrian street to Yuewang Road.Although it is a quick tour, it can be regarded as a tour of the West Lake.

When they reached the ground, Zheng Wanjiu pointed: "Ms. Li, we're here!"

Li Dingan took a look, it was a building.There is also a huge notice board at the door, reminding tourists that stalls will only be set up on holidays and weekends.

So there are not many people.

It is similar to the collectibles trading market on Hushu Road that I visited yesterday, and it is also very distinctive: Hushu Road mainly sells stamps and coupons, and this one mainly sells miscellaneous items such as emerald jade, gold inlaid jade, and gold, silver and bronze wares.

The ancient jade, lacquer plates, wood carvings, gold and silver dolls, etc. in Zheng Wanjiu's batch of miscellaneous items were all scoured from here.

Looking at the bottom of the notice, the words "no filming" are very prominent, and Li Ding'an gave up the idea of ​​live broadcasting.

Look, it's not that I don't want to broadcast, but that there are too many restrictions...

Thinking about it, the two entered the market.

Zheng Wanjiu is a frequent visitor here, and knows many bosses, and people keep saying hello to him.After a few words of greeting, I will also enter the store to take a look.

There are quite a lot of things, mainly ancient jade, jadeite and gold, silver and bronze wares, which look quite old, but most of them are imitations made later.The price is not low, and a jade pendant costs 40 million yuan for a finger puller.

If you want to ask about the origin, it's either Ming Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Han and Tang Dynasties, it's either this famous person, or that prince or princess who wore it before.

This is the case with five or six companies in a row, and Li Ding'an understood that these bosses must have worked hard to learn, and they are pretty good at making up anyway!
When I came across a rough stone shop, Zheng Wanjiu asked him if he was interested in taking a small gamble, and Li Dingan shook his head.

If you want to play this thing, you can only rely on skill points to identify it.And the money-hungry stuff of the system is getting more and more cheating, and it costs hundreds of thousands to exchange a little bit. Li Ding'an has a fool in his head, so he wastes skill points in this kind of place...

There are some real things, for example, there is a set of unearthed silver wine vessels, which have been handed down from the late Ming Dynasty, and the price is not expensive. Unfortunately, the spout is broken. It hinted that Zheng Wanjiu accepted it.

I also came across a pair of ivory-carved Pixiu decorations, but they look like they were made in the later period. If you dare to buy them, you have to be prepared to be approached by the hat uncle one day.

It's not troublesome enough...

After shopping around again, Zheng Wanjiu took him into a shop, and Li Ding'an subconsciously squinted his eyes: it was too bright.

The store is not big, only sixty or seventy square meters, but the whole room is full of gold wares.There are so many spotlights, it can be called a golden wall.

There are jade pendants inlaid with gold and jade, rings, gold hairpins, gold earrings, gold necklaces, and ornaments such as animals and figures.

There are more real gold and less lacquered gold. Looking at the appearance, most of them are wrapped in paste, and they are not old-fashioned in the later stage.In short, there are many old objects.

There are very few pure gold cultural relics, and Li Ding'an immediately became interested.

He picked up a statue of Avalokitesvara: it was about a palm high, with a thin shell and hollow body, and the whole body was golden yellow. Except for the patina, there were traces of incense. It was a religious relic at first glance.

It weighs about half a catty, and it should be from the middle of the Qing Dynasty based on its appearance.

There is also a small pure gold incense burner, which is probably matched with Guanyin and is heavier.

After looking at it, Li Dingan asked again: "Boss, how much are these two things?"

"60 for the Guanyin statue and 80 for the incense burner. If you want both together, it's 130 million."

After all, it is a cultural relic and has been incensed for so many years, so the price is not bad.If you meet a wealthy businessman who believes in Buddhism, it is possible to sell it for two or three million.

After taking a rough look, Li Ding'an put it back, and then looked at the cabinet next to him.

There are all decorations here, the big ones are no bigger than a snuff bottle, and the small ones are the size of a lighter: golden toad, golden rhinoceros, golden elephant... and the twelve zodiac signs such as golden rat and golden ox.

Li Ding'an's eyes lit up when he saw a boy's ornament.

It's about the size of a fist, but it's extremely heavy in the hand, and it weighs four to five catties if it's less, indicating that it's solid.

The child sat on the floor, no pants, only a jacket, with his arms open, showing his round belly.Holding a lotus in his hand, he grinned so wide and smiled very happily.

The hairstyle is a bit weird, with the forehead on the left side, the top of the left and right ears, and the back of the head with hair in pigtails, and the rest of the place is shaved. It feels a bit like Xixia, Meng Yuan in Song Dynasty, and Jin Wei after the Qing Dynasty. That money rattail hairstyle.

Turning it over again, there is another pattern on the back of the golden baby's clothes: it looks like it is made of stones, densely packed, about seventy or eighty pieces.

For a split second, Li Ding'an's pupils shrank: This is... pink rice pattern?

Zheng Wanjiu leaned over and took a look: "Take your head three times...Mr. Li, is this a puppet or doll (a boy like a toy) from the Qing Dynasty?"

Li Ding'an secretly sighed: I knew he would be wrong.

This is pure gold, at least four catties, how can a child play with it?

Moreover, the pink and rice pattern can not be printed casually, so this is not a toy, it is very likely to be a statue or a ritual vessel: Southern Song Dynasty Mohula.

 Sorry, it's a bit short, I'll make up for it later.
