Chapter 6 Ancestral Treasure
Chapter 006

Chen Hanwen is the vice president of "Jiuding Art Auction Company". Excluding the board of directors, he is the second in command of the entire company, and Jiuding Company is the largest auction company in T City, and is also very famous in the same industry across the country In addition, Chen Hanwen himself is a leader in the field of antiques, and his reputation spreads far and wide, so there are many insiders who know him well, all over the world. Suddenly someone called and said that someone in Xiangfo County wanted to betray the so-called "Daming Xuande" "Blue and white vat", this is a completely natural thing, probably someone who heard the news of his coming to this county, took the opportunity to ask him, a master appraiser, to help him look at the things, and if they are really good, they are ready to mark a good price Send it to Jiuding for auction.

After all, it is an auction house, and what they do is this kind of business. As soon as a customer comes to their door, Chen Hanwen readily agrees to the other party's request, so he hurriedly took Mo Liming, who had just been discharged from the hospital, to the place the family said .

"Mr. Chen, is the porcelain from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty very famous?"

In the car, Mo Liming suddenly couldn't help asking.

Just now, without hesitation, he followed Chen Hanwen into the new black Reiz car heading for his destination. It was a great honor to accompany our company's Dana to receive the goods in person, not to mention Mo Li It shows that he has always had the idea of ​​worshiping Chen Hanwen as his teacher. The incident he encountered today is a great opportunity, because he rarely had such good things happen to him in the past. Don't go out to collect things, but this time he just dropped by, and finally came to Xiangfo County.

"The blue and white porcelain fired by JDZ Royal Kiln during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty has a very important position in the history of Chinese ceramic development. It is famous for its simple, elegant shape, crystal clear glaze color, and colorful patterns. Compared with the blue-and-white porcelain of other dynasties in the Ming Dynasty, its firing technology has reached the highest peak, and it has become one of the famous porcelain products in my country. "Just listen to Chen Hanwen talking while driving the car steadily.

"The blue and white vat mentioned by that customer must be a high-quality product, we'll wait and see!" Mo Liming sighed casually.

He was naturally very happy to hear Chen Hanwen's detailed explanation to his own questions, as if he was not hiding anything. For a newcomer like him who is new to the world of antiques and jewelry, he can get everyone's advice. What a blessing.

Speaking of which, although Mo Liming has been studying antique knowledge earnestly and assiduously for so long and wants to be self-taught, he has never received any professional guidance, much less like Fu Yihong, who has been taught by a master and has a long history of family education. Influenced by that atmosphere since she was a child, she has an advantage over ordinary people in this aspect.

So his progress is very small. If he is asked to appreciate a piece of porcelain now, he will definitely not be able to explain why.

Mo Liming thought more than once, if he had one-tenth of Chen Hanwen's level now, he would be able to stroll around the antique market to pick up the missing ones, how chic he is.

It's a pity that he still doesn't know anything, and every time he comes out to accompany the company's experts to touch things, he can only stay on the sidelines and watch the big show.

From this we can see how lacking he is in antique knowledge. He is like a child who is hungry for food, thirsty for knowledge, and he also wants to learn practical experience from others.

"Hehe, Xiao Mo, don't make a decision so early, you have to look at it first before you can draw a conclusion." Chen Hanwen smiled meaningfully, "Antiques are what you see and what you hear is not what you see. Really! But yes, Xuande porcelain, easier said than done? Anyone who engages in ancient ceramics does not know that after the transition period of Ye Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty, it came to the "Yong (Yongle)" and "Xuan (Xuande)" years. It entered the heyday of Ming Dynasty porcelain, especially the blue and white porcelain at that time. The material is called 'Su Ma Li Qing', and the color of the fired product is very 'catching'. Although the object is more than 600 years ago, the glaze color is clear, and the color of the flower emits a faint light under the glaze, which is for the people who are 'good old'. Type two words: eye-catching! Besides, the blue and white 'Sumaliqing' material is said to be more precious than sapphire, and its origin is said to be Persia in West Asia, and it is also said to be Somalia in Africa..."

As for the famous "Xuande Porcelain", Chen Hanwen started to talk about it. He articulated clearly and eloquently. Mo Liming listened to it like a spring breeze. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to every word, for fear of missing any details. Chen Hanwen Undoubtedly, the published opinions are indirectly tutoring Mo Liming's homework, and he has benefited a lot.

"Mr. Chen, West Asia and Africa were quite far away from China at that time, right? How were those rare pigments transported to JDZ and other porcelain kilns?" Mo Liming asked curiously.

Chen Hanwen smiled and said: "Xiao Mo, there are historical data to prove your question. In the early Ming Dynasty, Sumatra in Indonesia was a safe haven for merchant ships from east and west. Merchant ships from West Asia traded here with many rare goods. He's fleet passed by here, so the "Su material" that Zheng He brought back from Nanyang during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty was probably obtained on these merchant ships. Look--more than 600 years ago, the Sanbao eunuch did this inadvertently A deal, until today, it still disturbs some people to sleep, talking nonsense all day long..."

The two laughed and chatted, and Mo Liming found that Chen Hanwen's language was quite humorous when he spoke. It could be seen that he was a very funny person in life.

About half an hour later, the car drove into a community, which was an old residential area, and the houses were relatively old, built in the 80s and [-]s.

After getting out of the car, Chen Hanwen called the friend and asked for the specific location, and then the two went straight to the direction of the family's house together.

Soon they came to an alley, and from a distance, they saw two or three people with urgent expressions standing at the door of a family, some old and some young, all men.

And as soon as they saw Chen Hanwen and the others, they quickly rushed over together.

One of them seemed to know Chen Hanwen, he held his hand warmly and said hello, and said proudly with a smile on his face: "Mr. The second treasure that I can’t see is a large blue and white porcelain vat from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It was handed down by our ancestors. During the Cultural Revolution, our old man sealed it with wax and buried it in the yard for fear of causing trouble. Before the old man died, he asked us to dig it out. Now the house is going to be demolished, and our brothers should be separated, so we decided to sell it. This is not targeting your company. Your company’s reputation and strength are second to none in the industry. It is second to none, we can trust it, and we can entrust things to you for auction with confidence!"

"Old Cheng, let's have a look and talk about other things." Chen Hanwen nodded and said solemnly.

"Okay, please come in!"

The old man was overjoyed, and then a group of people rushed Chen Hanwen into the door.

Mo Liming followed closely behind Chen Hanwen calmly. For some reason, he felt a little excited in his heart, probably because he wanted to open his eyes, and he couldn't restrain the sense of freshness and excitement.

After entering the door, Mo Liming's left eye focused on the room with the breath of the "seven-eyed Buddha spirit" that could not dissipate.

The room looked a little cold and damp, and suddenly, Mo Liming caught it at a glance, only to see a dark green carpet in the middle of the inner room, and a "hill" piled up in the middle of the carpet, covered with frost and snow. There was a white quilt, which looked like a "magic prop" from a distance, and a "medical facility" from a close look. It looked a little creepy. At first glance, he, Mo Liming, was almost not intimidated.

The host named "Lao Cheng" lifted the white sheet carefully and solemnly, as if he was terrified that if he didn't pay attention, he would offend the ancestors of their family.

When that "treasure" finally revealed its true face, Chen Hanwen, the treasure appraiser, stared at the big vat, while Lao Cheng and the others stared at his face, as if they wanted to see a surprise from the other party. As for the little follower Mo Liming, he seems to have no right to speak.
