The Book of Appreciation

Chang Lao was watching from the side, seeing that Yang Lao didn't respond, he quickly shouted:

"Old Yang, hurry up, don't be idle, the gold and silver things oxidize faster than calligraphy and painting!"

Mr. Yang was stunned, and quickly waved his hand. The three apprentices picked up the brushes they had prepared a long time ago, and began to brush them one by one. Although the protection of calligraphy and painting is not very suitable, the initial treatment is still possible. .

The old man pushed a middle-aged man away and shouted:

"It's stupid! This is not calligraphy and painting. What kind of brush is it? Throw it in and fish it out again. Hurry up! Brother Chang, hurry up and prepare something to hold things in!"

Take it out after soaking it in water, which is much faster than brushing. In a short while, about a thousand pieces of gold and silver tableware were finished, but the water was useless.Mr. Yang sent his disciples to prepare the solution, and took a silver plate handed over by Mr. Chang to look at it.

He is not good at these things, let alone this is a foreigner?After looking at it casually, he threw it on the table and said:

"These are supposed to be the tableware of some noble family? They are too stingy, and this thing is worth cherishing and hiding for decades?"

"Hehe, take a look again."

Mr. Yang picked up the plate suspiciously, looked at the English in the two logos that Mr. Chang pointed out to him,

"Conquer, William? Is this tableware used by the British royal family? So what? It's just a silver plate!"

"Old Yang, you are making a fool of yourself. Look at this piece. There is an additional mark on it. This is the badge of the Duke of Normandy at that time. In 1066 AD, Duke William of Normandy defeated the resistance of King Harold of England. In the same year, he was crowned King of England, known as William I. This is the plate used by the ancestors of the British royal family!"

"Damn! This thing still has such an amazing history? Just throw it in the box so casually? Take a look, is there any more?"

"Also, but it seems that I can't get two sets together, but it's enough. Presumably the British royal family can't make up a few complete sets now, right?"

"It wasn't a member of the royal family who invaded Myanmar at that time, right? Could it be that the tableware was brought by the royal family members when they inspected Myanmar later? Why didn't they take it away?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? Go back and look up the information, but I guess it's not easy to find. There are very few people who understand the history of Myanmar. Where can I find someone who also has research on antiques?"

Wu Di smiled,

"It doesn't matter, if you go to England sometime, take it with you, and you'll know when you go there. Maybe you can exchange some things from our ancestors back."

"That's right, these Burmese ones are also royal supplies. There are so many, you can consider donating part of them to the country. It is the best gift when they visit next time."

Wu Di curled his lips, he might as well come back with some wool!

Chang Lao thought about it for a while, and decided to make it clear to Wu Di. Although this guy doesn't care, it will always feel a little uncomfortable if there are too many such things.He called Wu Di aside and whispered:

"Is it a little distressed to donate the money and silverware just now? You boy, have you never thought about it, we are all a bunch of old guys, how many days can we live? You have so many treasures in your hand, don't think about it." How to protect them? Donating shocking masterpieces is a feat. Wouldn’t it be expensive to buy a small section chief for 15 billion? This silverware is donated again to remind them to think about shocking masterpieces and stop thinking about plotting your other treasures !"

"Master!"

"Let's go. In this society, complexity is complexity, and it's easy to be simple. When you have a certain background and a group of people who protect you, others will walk around you."

Wu Di nodded, it seems that he needs to work harder to keep those treasures.A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, if he finds the Chuan Guo Yuxi and donates it, will it keep his Wu family safe for generations?

After admiring the gold and silver wares for a while, the Doraemon and the military advisor sorted out the numbers, and were cooperating with Mr. Yang's apprentice to register each item. Mr. Yang made a pot of tea, drank it beautifully, and said with a smile:

"Since I met Xiao Wu, I have never been short of treasures. I don't know what this kid did in his previous life. Why are these things like iron blocks, and they are all hitting him as a magnet?"

Chang Lao took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile:

"This is luck! There may be many such people, but they lack the key link to stimulate luck, and they may not be able to grasp the luck when it comes. Xiao Wu is one of the best!"

"Luck? Yunzhi, it's clouds and mountains and mist. If you say you have it, you will have it, if you say you don't have it, you won't! Xiao Wu is not like that!"

Mr. Yang drank a big mouthful of tea beautifully, and watched a few apprentices come out with their affairs, stood up and said:

"Okay, enough rest, pick one of the remaining two and open it, which one hits. I guess no matter what is inside, you have to soak it in water, otherwise I'm afraid it will be oxidized."

Chang Lao nodded and said with a smile:

"Then open this box."

Wu Di saw that what Master was referring to was the box that hides the Burmese gemstone crown, and he couldn't help thinking:

"If this crown is donated, what kind of credit will it be?"

With the experience of the last time, it was much faster to drive this time. After a while, the box was opened, and the military adviser took a look and shook his head.The things here are different from the box just now. They are all wrapped in thick soft cloth, and it is impossible to see what it is.

Mr. Yang quickly picked up a round thing, and opened it carefully. A blue-glazed fish-shaped bottle revealed a beautiful figure. He let out a low cry in surprise,

"Fish-shaped bottle! Could it be from the Tang Dynasty?"

He handed the bottle to his apprentice and ordered to pass it in the solution quickly.The bottle was quickly set aside to dry on a stone table.When Mr. Chang heard Mr. Yang's cry, he couldn't wait a long time ago. He bent over and looked at it carefully for a while, and said:

"It's a blue-glazed fish-shaped bottle from the Yue kiln in the late Tang Dynasty. It's a good thing. At that time, Yue kiln, Meixian kiln, Changsha kiln in southern Hunan and Sancai kiln all had this shape. You see, the bottle is made of double fish, with ridges on the back. It is in the shape of a sink and can be lifted with a belt. The body of the fish is engraved with fish eyes and scales. In the Five Dynasties, Ding Kiln also fired white-glazed double fish bottles, and then this shape gradually disappeared. Treasures, treasures!"

Mr. Yang ignored him, and took out the contents of the box one by one, and asked someone to apply the solution. After a while, more than a dozen packages were untied, and each piece was precious, such as bottles, bowls, or plates. The porcelain was painted with protective liquid and placed on the stone table, and the table was full!

Elder Yang poked his head into the box to have a look, and said with a smile:

"There's only one thing left, and he's still a big guy. Come on, let me see what's hidden under the young man's clothes!"

As soon as he started, he smiled and said:

"It's so heavy, I guess it was used to weigh the box."

Then he took the things out, and was not in a hurry to open the package. He looked back and forth and said with a smile:

"I'm afraid it's a big guy, look, he's still wearing fur!"

It was a cylindrical object wrapped in animal fur. Elder Yang put it on the square table that had just been brought out, and said:

"Xiao Wu, guess what this guy is?"

Wu Di already knew what it was, but he deliberately thought about it before answering:

"It's probably a square-necked bottle."

"Hehe, although you haven't opened it yet, you must have guessed wrong. This thing is probably a copper thing. It's so heavy!"

He carefully unwrapped the package, then trembled and froze.

This thing was beyond the expectation of everyone present, except for Wu Di, everyone who saw it for the first time was stunned, because it was neither a square mouth bottle nor a round mouth bottle, and it was not even a piece of porcelain.It is a diadem, a prismatic high hat adorned with pearls and precious stones, full of exotic flavors!Chang Lao put down the porcelain in his hand, walked over, stared at it for a long time, Fang carefully picked it up, looked at it, and said:

"It's made of gold. This thing is heavier than a steel helmet. If you wear it on your head, your neck will be crushed!"

Elder Yang came back to his senses and said with a smile:

"If the emperor is a bad old man like me, he will be crushed into the coffin in a day or two!"

"Hehe, this should be a Burmese crown, which is somewhat similar to the ancient Arabian crown. If this is also William I's crown, hehe..."

Mr. Yang said disdainfully:

"Just dream! If it really belongs to William, I'm afraid the British royal family will go crazy!"

Wu Di took the crown and tried to wear it on his head. It was hard and heavy. It was really not a pleasure. Could it be that the emperor at that time was out of his mind?Isn't it just looking for a disease for yourself with this thing?

He took off the crown, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.On the front of the crown, two light golden pearls divide it into three parts from top to bottom.In the center is a top-quality pigeon blood ruby ​​of at least [-] carats. Above the ruby ​​is a complex pattern woven by countless diamonds of about one carat. On the top of the hat, there is a A small ball studded with diamonds encases a large dark blue gemstone.

The two areas on both sides of the crown are trapezoidal, studded with diamonds, and emit a bewitching light in the sun.Wu Di narrowed his eyes, turned the crown over, and looked at the back.On the back, there is a pattern of big-leaved flowers. The pattern is inlaid with gemstones of various colors, making this crown gaudy and dazzling!

The Doraemon stretched out its head to take a look, secretly stunned, this thing, regardless of its historical value, but these jewels and diamonds, is it a sky-high price?This fifth brother is too capable of tossing around, but he has come back with so many treasures after not being by his side for a few days!

Chang Lao turned to look at his porcelain again, saw that Wu Di was still looking at the crown, picked up a celadon sunflower plate full of ice cracks and said with a smile:

"Throw it there, it's just a vulgar thing! Look at this one. These things must have been rewards from the Burmese tribes when they worshiped the Celestial Dynasty. I didn't expect it to be so well preserved. Look at this gold wire and iron thread, look at this iron Feet, the real masterpieces in Ge’s kiln! I think Lao Han should be depressed after seeing it, because there are only eleven or two such things in the Forbidden City.”

At this time, Mr. Yang didn't pay attention to these porcelains. He took a square black thing from the military adviser, flashed it in front of Mr. Chang, and said with a smile:

"Look, Duanyan! The bottom of this box is dark, there may not be dozens of them! I said, Wu Di, can you please stop doing this? Others have worked so hard to find one and a half of them, but they can be exchanged for you." Let’s change to wholesale! Tell me, how can we play antiques live?” (To be continued.)
