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

"Hand warmer?" Chen Yang almost burst out laughing after hearing this. This elder brother is quite avant-garde in his thinking. How did he come up with this word?

The stall owner smiled and nodded, "Little brother, let me tell you, the capital is also cold in winter! There was no heating at that time, and you couldn't light the stove or make a fire wall or a big fire kang in the palace. So what should I do?" As he spoke, the stall owner took the Apple Zun in his hand and gestured to Chen Yang.

"Pour hot water from this mouth, and then seal the mouth with something," as he said, the stall owner also gestured, "After that, the Queen Mother, the concubines, the royal family, the nobles, etc., just go like this A hug in your arms will not only warm your hands, but also your whole body!”

"Little brother, tell me, how much did the emperor enjoy in ancient times!" After saying that, the stall owner smacked his lips proudly. His reaction ability was simply too strong. Then the stall owner's eldest brother pinched his throat and said, " After the water has cooled down, say hello, Xiao Guizi, go and change me to hot water!"

By the time the elder brother finished speaking, Chen Yang had already started applauding him. This explanation was methodical and well-founded. If you didn't know better, you would have believed it the first time you heard him say it! And hand warmers? What are you thinking about?

People in the old capital have the habit of holding hand warmers in winter, but they are hand warmers and are made of copper. If you hold a porcelain hand warmer, aren't you afraid it will be broken? Besides, doesn’t it look good when the emperor goes to court holding a stove in his hand?

"How about some research?" The eldest brother looked at Chen Yang's smiling expression and approached Chen Yang and said with a playful smile.

Chen Yang glanced at his elder brother and said, "Brother, if you say that, I really can't have this thing from you!"

"Why?" The elder brother was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He explained the functions so comprehensively and made up such a reliable story. How could he not believe it?

"Why?" Chen Yang chuckled, "Brother, your explanation of this object is different from my understanding, so it shouldn't be the object I thought, so forget it, I'll take a look again!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Yang was about to move forward, but was pulled back by his elder brother, "Wait a minute, little brother, if you say what I said is wrong, then tell me, what kind of object is this?"

"What you have to say is reasonable and well-founded. I'll give you this!"

Seeing the dissatisfied look on his elder brother's face, Chen Yang shook his head slightly, "Brother, this is what you said, don't let your words go unfulfilled!"

"I promise to keep my word!" The eldest brother pointed at the Apple Lord, "As long as you can tell what he does, I will give it to you!"

"Okay, then let me tell you!" Chen Yang stood still and pointed at the Apple Lord and said, "Judging from the shape of the object, this object is called the Apple Lord!"

Chen Yang explained the purpose of the Apple Zun, and demonstrated it to his eldest brother with his hands as he spoke. Finally, he said to his eldest brother with a smile, "You know this time, this is an object for the study, not a hand warmer." !”

The eldest brother couldn't help but be dubious when he saw what Chen Yang said about having a nose and eyes, but in the end he still said stubbornly, "Okay, even if you are right, then this must belong to Kangxi, as long as the age is correct!"

"This is not Kangxi's!" Chen Yang shook his head and said to his elder brother with a confident look on his face.

"Why not," the eldest brother reached out and picked up the Apple Statue, "Look at the sky blue glaze, look at the glaze, look at the shape of the vessel, and look at the quality of the fetus, it's clearly an official kiln from the Kangxi period. There is no doubt about it!”

Chen Yang waved his hand towards his eldest brother and explained from the side. The shape of this apple statue is indeed from the Kangxi year, but the apple statues from the Kangxi year are all underglaze red or black and have almost no sky blue glaze.

"Also, the special feature of the official kiln porcelain in the Kangxi era is that the early official kiln porcelain did not have the year mark, but the folk kiln had the year mark." Chen Yang turned the Apple Zun over and pointed to the bottom mark at the bottom to explain to his elder brother.

In the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, Zhang Qizhong, the magistrate of Fuliang County, issued an order: "It is forbidden for households in the town to write era names and the writings of saints and saints on porcelain to prevent it from being damaged." Therefore, before this, the porcelain from the official kiln did not have a deposit, but the porcelain from the private kiln had the year written on it. payment.

After hearing what Chen Yang said, the eldest brother looked up at Chen Yang. Today he met an expert. He also knew what Chen Yang said. Thinking of this, the eldest brother touched his chin slightly, "You are right, I admit it."

"But little brother, I'm fine. This is from the early Kangxi period. If this is from the middle or late Kangxi period, wouldn't there be a base at the bottom?"

Chen Yang nodded and continued to talk to his elder brother. In the middle and late Kangxi period, a large number of regular scripts of the "Kangxi Year System of the Qing Dynasty" were used, while a small number of seal scripts were used in the late period. The inscriptions include written and engraved inscriptions, mostly written on blue and white materials. The arrangement is mainly two rows and three rows. It may be surrounded by a double circle, a single circle, or a double frame.

"Let's take a look at this model of yours. The designation has no borders and the font is soft and weak, but it's still neat." Chen Yang looked at the apple statue. "In addition, sky blue glaze was rarely used during the Kangxi years, so I conclude that you are An old imitation!"

"It should have been imitated in the early Republic of China, right!" After Chen Yang finished speaking, he looked back at his elder brother.

The elder brother was stunned for a moment. How could I know when it was imitated? I knew that this object was old. As for the age, I couldn’t be sure. When I bought this object, it was a modern handicraft. It cost a lot. I only have fifty yuan!

After the elder brother was stunned for a moment, he quickly shook his head, "I don't think so. Even if it is an old imitation, I think it is Guangxu's!"

"Little brother, let me tell you the truth, this object really comes from..."

Chen Yang raised his hand to interrupt his elder brother's conversation and asked directly, "Brother, I want to buy this thing from you to play with. Don't tell me that you are lying. Let's do it for real. I won't let you be honest." Give it to me, you tell me the price."

Although the eldest brother said that he had explained the objects clearly, Chen Yang knew in his heart that the eldest brother would never give him away for nothing. He would believe what he said if he said it, and he would not believe it if he said he didn't. There is no notary here, so where can he go? Judges go! Besides, if he shouts loudly and attracts knowledgeable people, his secret will be revealed.

After listening to what Chen Yang said, the stall owner laughed and didn't care about Chen Yang's interruption just now. "In that case, I sincerely want it, so I won't ask for more. How about a thousand yuan!"

"One thousand yuan?" Chen Yang glanced at him and shook his head, "Brother, although we all have different opinions on the age of this object, we will ignore this for now and let's talk about the price. But your one thousand yuan It’s too expensive, let’s do this, I think it’s fifty yuan, okay?”

After hearing this, the stall owner shook his head repeatedly, "Little brother, you are cutting too hard. I am a small business!" The stall owner smiled slightly and said, "I want as much as you have for fifty yuan! If you really want it, eight Take away a hundred yuan and it will be open enough!"

"I really want it sincerely. If this costs 80 yuan, brother, I will give you another 30 yuan!"

"Oh," the stall owner didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, "Little brother, if you say that, you don't want it sincerely. Do I owe you the thirty yuan? What I owe you is three hundred yuan!"

"If you're like this, we've been going through wind and rain. I'll tell you a price. If it works, you can go to someone else's house and have a look." The eldest brother thought about it for a moment, "Five hundred yuan!"

"Two hundred yuan!" Chen Yang took out two hundred yuan from his pants pocket and handed it to his eldest brother, "Just make a friend. I will come here often in the future!"

"Okay, you said so, it's a deal!"

Chen Yang handed the money to the stall owner, who wrapped the apple statue and placed it in front of Chen Yang. Chen Yang picked up the Apple Zun, said thank you to his elder brother, turned around and left.

It finally opened, and the stall owner was also very happy. He looked at Chen Yang's leaving figure. No matter what year it was, it was not from the Kangxi year. He bought it for fifty yuan and resold it for four times the profit. That's it! The stall owner was happily rearranging the items. When he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man chasing Chen Yang and stopped him, "Young man, can I see the item you just bought?"

The stall owner couldn't help but looked over curiously. Isn't this Shopkeeper Ni? Why did he go after the young man? Could it be that he was really missed?

When Chen Yang heard someone calling him, he couldn't help but stop and turned around to look over. The middle-aged man happened to walk up to Chen Yang and looked at Chen Yang with a smile. He looked kind and kind, and he had an elegant temperament, more like in a TV series. That kind of literati and poet also wears a string of Dzi beads on his left hand. The Dzi beads are of good quality, and they are also nine-eyed Dzi beads. This is a rare good thing.

"Did you call me?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Sorry, little brother, I want to see the object in your hand. I wonder if you can let me take a look?"

This kind of thing happens often in the antique market, it is not a rare thing, and judging from the way he is dressed, he is also a person of status, and he is probably a knowledgeable person, he just wants to see the objects.

"No problem," Chen Yang nodded and looked around, "How about you find a place?"

"Here, please!" The middle-aged man gestured to Chen Yang with a smile, and led Chen Yang to a counter. After saying hello to the stall owner, Chen Yang put the box on the counter, opened the box, and there was Apple respect. He took out the apple statue from inside and placed it on the counter, then motioned to the middle-aged man.

"Brother, please."

The middle-aged man hugged Chen Yang, then reached out to pick up the Apple statue on the table and looked at it carefully. After a while, the middle-aged man put the object back into the box. "The body of the vessel is round and bulging, the belly is slowly gathered, the bottom is concave, and the short neck is sunken along the shoulders. The glaze color is bright and elegant, and the shape of the vessel is soft and plump, as if it were made in heaven." ."

"In the official kilns in the later years of Kangxi's reign, Apple statues often had red underglaze or black glaze. Sky blue glaze is really rare. This little brother has picked up a big leak!" The middle-aged man nodded approvingly at Chen Yang and said, "I'm taking the liberty to I want to ask, does my little brother have any intention of selling this item?"

Chen Yang smiled politely, "Are you kidding? I haven't played with this object yet. Besides, this object will be worth more than 400 million in the future. It's weird if I have nothing to sell it!"

"Sorry, I don't plan to take action on this Apple Lord for the time being, thank you." As he spoke, Chen Yang closed the box and prepared to leave.

"Little brother, don't you think about it? I really like this thing too. Don't worry about the price. I can offer it higher than the market price. How about it?"
