Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Chen Yang planned to go with Song Qingyun for Song Qingyun's Xuande furnace. The main purpose was not the Xuande furnace. Chen Yang knew in his heart that this Xuande furnace must be fake. But Chen Yang knew Song Qingyun's hobbies, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable if he didn't take a look when there was news.

And Chen Yang mainly wanted to see how this treasure attic was played. It could actually help him find items in exchange for the items he wanted. This was something he had never heard of before, so Chen Yang held it in his arms. I am curious and want to see what is going on in this precious attic.

Zhu Yuyan also clamored to follow her. Originally, Chen Yang didn't plan to take her with him. He left her in his shop and could help him. After all, her eyesight was much better than Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu. But this little girl refused to do it and insisted on following her. She even started to pull Song Qingyun's arm and shake her. You know, when a southern girl starts acting coquettishly, it's not something a northern man can stop, especially an old man like Song Qingyun, haha!

After arriving at the place, Chen Yang raised his head and looked around. After seeing a building, Chen Yang knew where the Bao Pavilion was. The building not far ahead was the famous circle building!

The city of Jincheng was also known as Spring City in the North, and it was called Xinjing during the Puppet Manchukuo period. The building in the circle was built in 1936. During the Puppet Manchukuo period, the little devils were located on the central axis of Central Street (now Renmin Street) and Datong Square (now Datong Square). Fengle Road (now Chongqing Road) was built near People's Square, and a commercial street was built based on the commercial pattern of Hengsi Street (now Changjiang Road). Mitsui & Co. (now Changbai), Fengle Theater (now Jilin Pharmacy) and other shopping and leisure places were built.

But there was still a lack of a shopping mall selling food and drink supplements, so in 1936, Fengle Road Market was built. After 1933, many family members of the little devils came to Changchun, and many of them lived in the area where Bei'an Road and Chongqing Road are now. Therefore, the Fengle Road Market was built in the circle building and was jointly operated by 26 Japanese merchants. Vegetables, fruits, aquatic products, meat and eggs, groceries, and fruits are all available, mainly meeting the daily needs of the little devils at that time.

Why is it called a circle building? This name is actually quite vivid. Citizens of this city usually go here to buy things. They go in from the southeast gate to buy meat, eggs and vegetables, go to the northwest gate to buy cooked food, and then turn back to the south gate to buy fruits. When they go out of the gate, they go around in a circle and shout around. Just call it out, it really deserves the name of Quanlou.

After the liberation in 1945, driven by the large number of imprisoned prisoners, the Quanlou area became a market for trading antiques, calligraphy and paintings, books and furniture, clothing, bedding, toys and tableware. After that, a large amount of military clothing, military blankets, fabrics, shoes, hats, and gloves flowing out of the Jaap warehouses were also sold here in large quantities.

After the liberation in 1948, a large number of materials hoarded by wealthy households appeared here for sale. The commercial nature of the circle building area completely surpassed the old entertainment industry, and became a treasure trove for many unemployed and exhausted citizens to improve their living conditions.

In 1956, dozens of non-staple food stores merged to form Chongqing Road Non-staple Food Store. In 1966, it was transferred to the state-owned market and renamed Chongqing Road Non-staple Food Store in 1984. At that time, the Qianlou was the largest non-staple food store in Changchun. You still needed to present a ticket to shop there.

Later, it was renamed Changchun Quanlou Trade City. After 2010, although Quanlou was still called Quanlou, it had become Quanlou Cultural Development Co., Ltd. and had developed from the material level to the spiritual level. From flowers to green plants to flowers, birds and fish to antiques, calligraphy and painting, collections and other cultural projects, it even has a professional art gallery of more than 1000 square meters. It holds various exhibitions and antique auctions all year round, making it a spiritual home for local people.

"Let's go, what are you looking at?" Song Qingyun called to Chen Yang from the side, and Chen Yang turned around and motioned for Song Qingyun to lead the way.

When Song Qingyun knocked on the door and the two of them walked in, Chen Yang realized that this was not a building. It was clearly just a relatively large shop. There are already many people in the shop. Some stall owners have set up their own stalls, and some stall owners are taking items out of the boxes. Some customers who came earlier than the two of them had already begun to wander among the stalls.

"Uncle, wait a moment!" In Chen Yang's mind, even if Bao Pavilion is not a building, it should at least be a place similar to an underground auction house. But what are these stalls in front of him? Isn’t this an antique ghost market? If this is a place like this, the method of exchanging things for things and helping him find items is simply not useful. This is not the decision of one person!

Chen Yang asked Song Qingyun his doubts, and Song Qingyun smiled slightly and explained to Chen Yang. Regardless of the stalls here, these stall owners all listen to the original poster. These stall owners usually set up stalls on the road or in the market, selling goods while collecting various news in the antique circle. When the Bao Loft opens, they come in to sell goods. If they hear about someone who wants to buy or sell a good item, they will tell the owner the news.

Zhu Yuyan nodded slightly after listening, "Uncle Master, from what you said, this treasure attic is quite mysterious!"

Song Qingyun said of course, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to work for so many years, and there are a lot of fake people here. Chen Yang didn't care about anything else. What he was thinking about now was, if they were all vendors, how would he know who owned the Xuande stove?

Hearing Chen Yang's question, Song Qingyun raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "It's not time yet. According to the rules, the second floor will be open at midnight. If you want good things, you can go directly to the second floor."

"The second floor is different from the first floor. They are all items found by Bao Pavilion for others. They are sold publicly on it. Most people are not allowed to enter. I don't know if we can go up today!"

"How about," Zhu Yuyan blinked a few times, "Let's go shopping separately first. Maybe we can encounter some good things!"

Song Qingyun nodded and motioned for the three of them to go shopping separately. The three of them had no problem with their eyesight. They might be able to pick up a few more good items and take them back.

"Yu Yan, remember not to be impatient. This place is no better than other places. We have to be careful." Song Qingyun warned Zhu Yuyan.

Zhu Yuyan nodded and said that she knew, and it was not the first time to visit the ghost market. When she was in Yangcheng, she and her master often visited the ghost market, so she knew the rules. After the three of them separated, Chen Yang started shopping alone. Not to mention, there were quite a lot of things in this treasure attic. Although at a glance, many of the items placed in front of the vendors were fakes, and even some were made-up. , but there are also many genuine ones. Chen Yang casually asked about two items, and he probably knew in his heart that he was hungry. The stall owners in this treasure loft were very knowledgeable about the market, and they wanted to get the items at a price lower than the market price. There was almost no big deal. possible.

While walking around, Chen Yang was thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he should bring Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu to practice in places like this more often. A place like the ghost market is something that an antique person must experience. There are many objects here, with various categories, real and fake. It is definitely the best opportunity to exercise your eyesight to choose the real ones from so many objects.

Chen Yang thought about it and looked at it. There were all kinds of ceramics and jades, various ornaments, famous calligraphy and paintings, etc. Chen Yang even saw a red coral ornament. The young man claimed that it was passed down by his ancestors, but it was just an imitation. . Chen Yang did like one or two items among them, but unfortunately the price was too high to cut it off, so he had to give up. While wandering around, a novel object appeared in front of Chen Yang, so Chen Yang walked to the stall in a few steps and stopped to look at it.

When the stall owner saw Chen Yang walking to his stall and looking down at the items on the stall, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Little brother, which item have you chosen?"

Chen Yang looked at the items on the stall one by one, occasionally glancing at the items he liked from the corner of his eyes, and said casually, "Let me take a look, boss, you have a lot of items!"

"That's right, these are all good products. Take your time and take a look. Which one you like, I'll give you a cheap price!"

Chen Yang nodded, continued to look at the objects in front of him, and finally focused on the object that attracted him. Most of the things on this stall were the Four Treasures of the Study, and there were very few porcelains. Among the few porcelains, Chen Yang took a fancy to an object shaped like an apple.

This product has a narrow mouth, a round belly, and concave feet. The shape of the vessel is elegant and unique, and the mouth of the vessel is concave. The whole body is covered with sky blue glaze, which is as elegant and uniform as the color of the blue sky. The thickness of the carcass is moderate, and the feet are sharply trimmed. The carcass is hard, delicate and white, indicating that the carcass is well washed, and the base is coated with white glaze. It is in the "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty". Three lines and six characters in regular script.

This object is called the Apple Zun. It is said that there are three apples in the world and they have changed the world. The first was the apple that Adam and Eve stole, the second was the ripe apple that was thrown on Newton's head, and the third was the apple that Jobs took a bite of.

Of course, the apple bitten by Lao Qiao has not yet appeared in this era, but the apple statue in his hand did exist during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The Apple Zun is one of the typical utensils from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is a water bowl shaped like an apple. There are two types: necked and neckless. The neckless ones are mostly glazed with red, and the necked ones are glazed with apple green and sky blue. It's very common, and it just so happened that the one in Chen Yang's hand was a necked apple with sky blue glaze.

The Apple Zun is so named because it looks like an apple, but it is actually a study utensil, a bowl used to hold water. Generally, the function of the water bowl is to add water to the inkstone to grind the ink. Therefore, the mouth is generally narrow, which is convenient for controlling the amount of water poured. If the mouth is wider, it is better to use a small spoon. The Apple Zun has a bulging belly and a small mouth, making it inconvenient to hold. It is also difficult to control the amount of water when pouring water. Therefore, the Apple Zun is used for filling inkstones with water and grinding ink. It may be filled with water with a small spoon, or it may be just a decorative ornament on the desk of a scholar. utensils.

The "Illustrated Dictionary of Ancient Chinese Ceramics" edited by the famous archaeological expert Mr. Feng Xianming said: The Apple Zun is a unique shape of the Kangxi Dynasty, and has not been fired in other dynasties.

"Little brother, you have such good taste," Chen Yang was watching. The stall owner smiled and gave a thumbs up and said to Chen Yang, "This was used by the emperor back then."

Chen Yang raised his head and glanced at the stall owner. This guy didn't know what this object was!

"Let me tell you this little brother, this was used by Emperor Kangxi and has been kept in the Old Summer Palace ever since. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces broke into the Old Summer Palace, a young eunuch fought to the death to snatch this object out." The deputy said impassionedly.

"Later, during the Anti-Japanese War, this young eunuch traveled to several cities and sold all his belongings, except for this one thing. When he learned that he passed away, he took his adopted son's hand and told him Come on, this is Emperor Kangxi’s property, you can’t sell it even if you kill me!”

Seeing the stall owner looking like he was urging people to urinate, if Chen Yang didn't know better, he would have almost been infected by him. This guy shouldn't be selling antiques, he should be telling stories!

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, his adopted son gave this object to the cultural relics store." At this point, the stall owner couldn't help but sighed deeply. "Alas, the cultural relics store has disappeared over the years. I don't know who the devil is. The objects were exchanged for money, and then I came across them. I looked at them and thought, isn't this a national treasure? How could it be living among the people like this, so I paid a lot of money to collect the objects."

Having said this, the stall owner raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Brother, let me tell you this, if it weren't for my wife being seriously ill and my children waiting to pay their school fees, and the family would be unable to untie the pot, I wouldn't take it. Come out and sell it!”

Chen Yang secretly smiled after hearing this. Behind every antique there is a tragic story. No matter whether the story is true or false, I don’t know where it started. The story has become an important part of the antique, as if an antique has no Stories are no longer antiques.

"Boss, you are so generous!" Chen Yang smiled and gave the stall owner a thumbs up.

The stall owner waved his hand slightly, "Little brother, if you like this thing, I will give it to you. Let me tell you, there is no such store for this kind of treasure after passing this village! If you really like it, we can negotiate the price. !”

After hearing this, Chen Yang waved his hands slightly, then raised his eyelids and glanced at the stall owner, "Brother, let's not talk about the price first. I am just getting started and I don't understand some items. You said this item was used by Emperor Kangxi, but its shape It’s so strange, what is it used for?”

"This...this is called a hand warmer!"

Pfft!
