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

Xuande furnace appeared. Song Qingyun suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood up and walked to the table to take a look. Chen Yang and Zhu Yuyan also walked closer in a few steps. What Chen Yang never expected was that the Xuande stove he took out this time was actually a GUI stove!

It is said that at that time, 88 types of bronze wares were selected from the Song Dynasty Royal Cultural Relics Collection "Xuanhe Bogu Illustration" and "Archaeological Maps", and the styles of famous Song Dynasty porcelain kilns such as Chai Ruguan Ge Junding in the collection of the Imperial Household were selected. There are 29 types of elegant styles, totaling 117 types. Among them, there are bronze ritual vessel shapes such as tripod, Ge, Gui, Zun and so on. A total of 117 types of vessels were created. Of course, since there was no photography technology and no drawings and records at that time, most of the 117 types of Xuande stoves cannot be tested now.

Later, scholars divided Xuande furnaces into 11 categories, one of which was the Gui-style furnace, which included cricket-dragon ears, fish ears, halberd ears, chisel ears, antique-style, elephant-headed ears, rooster-shaped rims, and animal-headed ears. , Pingkou, others, etc. Gui is a bronze ritual vessel. The emperor has nine tripods and eight guis, and the princes have seven tripods and six guis.

In ancient times, the Gui was originally a food vessel for holding staple foods. It usually had a round mouth and two ears, and a relatively classic shape. Later it became a ritual vessel and a symbol of the country's royal power, so the Gui-style stove has a high status. The Gui-style stove is an incense burner made with reference to the style of Gui.

This furnace is compact in shape. The lines along the mouth are smooth and beautiful, the neck is tied and the belly is bulging, the shape is elegant, the shoulders are smooth, and the two sides are decorated with celestial chicken ears, which are beautifully cast and sculptured. The drum belly is plain without lines, round and smooth, and the circle foot is round and stable. It is meticulous and shows the ingenuity.

The rooster is a sacred bird in ancient legends. It is said to be able to swallow fire. In ancient times, the rooster also symbolized the phoenix. This kind of incense burner should appear more often in the palaces of queens or concubines.

The color of the leather shell of this Tianji'er Gui-style stove is the antique color of wax tea. It is smooth and calm, and the light and shadow are flowing and rippling with the light. It's as smooth as a touch, as moist as jade, with a whole body that's as shiny as water and sky. The beauty of the genuine leather shell is simply perfect.

"Buddhist scripture color?" The moment Song Qingyun saw Xuande Lu, his eyes widened, "This..."

According to historical records, Xuande furnaces come in more than 40 colors, with Buddhist scripture colors at the top. Not to mention that this stove is placed here, even the Xuande stove in the Forbidden City, some people doubt whether it is the authentic product of Xuande's three years. Now it is not only a Xuande stove, but also a Buddhist scripture-colored one. Who wouldn't be excited!

Song Qingyun gently stroked the Xuande stove, and Mr. Xiong chuckled beside him, "I'm telling you, I don't keep this stove safe!"

"After all, no one has ever seen an authentic Xuande stove. Since no one has seen it, who can conclude that it is the authentic one!" Mr. Xiong said with a smile, stroking his beard, "I can only tell you about mine. Based on my experience of working in a cultural relics store for so many years, I personally feel that this is the best Xuande furnace I have ever seen and the closest to the record! ”

Chen Yang glanced at Old Xiong from the side. This old guy was really smart. He also knew that no one could judge whether the Xuande Furnace was real, but he used the closest thing. Even if you buy it and find it is a fake, you can't say that Mr. Xiong identified it as the real Xuande furnace, because what others say is the closest or the closest to the historical records.

But the old guy was right. The stove in front of him was almost identical to the one he had in his previous life except for the style, especially the color of the leather shell. The best thing about Xuande furnace is its color.

Judging from the copper smelting method at that time, Xuande used a large bellows. The wind was strong and powerful, and the firepower could be fully sustained. In addition, when smelting wind-milled copper at that time, a large amount of gold, silver, etc. was added. A kind of precious metal, such a large amount of copper materials, plus these precious metals, cannot be completely and evenly fused together, so copper will reflect different colors according to different environments, different factors, and time.

This is also the main reason why the Xuande furnace is the most difficult to fake. If you think about it, there are a lot of things in it, and it is not just copper. Even if you can find all these things, you can fuse these materials together and use them with Ming Dynasty craftsmen. The effect of fusion and rebirth is different. In other words, the Xuande Furnace is too random!

Song Qingyun held the Xuande furnace in his hand and looked at it. The copper was delicate, with precious light inside, and it was as smooth and new as a baby or a girl's skin could be pinched. It feels pressed, the mouth is thin along the abdominal wall, and the bottom is thick, so that the center of gravity feels like falling downwards. The shape of the vessel is neat, and the size is also very consistent with the style of the Ming Dynasty. The inner chamber has spiral patterns and knife marks. As for the red charcoal built in the furnace, it is not hot to the touch. We don't know this yet.

Then turn the Xuande furnace over, and the inscription is: Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty. The inscription is in regular script with two lines and six characters. The pavilion body is cast and ground into a style. The body seems heavy and the rhyme is rich. From the inside out, this Xuande stove completely matches the Xuande stove made in the third year of Xuande's history. Could this be the real Xuande stove?

After half a day, Song Qingyun put the Xuande furnace on the table again. The other two people also took it in their hands and started looking at it. The middle-aged man looked at it for a few times and then put it down. The old man next to him picked it up again and considered it carefully. With. Mr. Xiong was explaining the Xuande furnace to several people, and at the same time he was comparing the Xuande furnaces stored in the Forbidden City.

After looking around, the Xuande stove finally arrived in Chen Yang's hands. Chen Yang just picked up the Xuande stove and tried it. It felt fine and the weight was fine. Then he put the stove on the table and motioned to Zhu Yuyan to look at it together. The two of them were lying next to the Xuande stove, watching and talking about their own opinions. Song Qingyun, Mr. Xiong and others were also talking about the Xuande stove.

"Junior brother, do you think this is really a Xuande stove?" Zhu Yuyan has only heard of Xuande stoves. She has seen many styles, but unfortunately they are not real. The best one she has seen is a replica. The one in front of her But it’s much better than a genuine imitation. “If it’s true, I didn’t come here in vain this time!”

Chen Yang stared closely at the Xuande stove. Although there seemed to be no problem with the stove, he always felt that something was wrong. However, no matter from the leather shell to all aspects of the craftsmanship, if you let yourself say that something was wrong, you really Unable to speak.

"It's indeed good, but we can't say it's Zhenxuan now," Chen Yang frowned, keeping his eyes on the Xuande furnace, "I always feel that the price and charm of this product are a bit off."

"Qi Yun?"

Chen Yang nodded and said that the Xuande furnace in front of him should have no problems in terms of details, but it was a bit lacking in charm. To put it bluntly, he felt that although it was old, it was not old!

"What you said is really mysterious!" Zhu Yuyan curled her lips and said with a look of dissatisfaction.

You can't put it into words, it's just a very subtle feeling. Some people can tell the authenticity of an object from a few meters away. In fact, this is what they feel when they look at it. You can't describe the feeling of this thing. It is honed over time and through seeing a lot of old objects at close range. To put it bluntly, it is acquired through practice.

Chen Yang had seen a lot of old objects in his last life, and of course he had seen more than Zhu Yuyan. Naturally, he felt this way. Even if Zhu Yuyan was a genius, she was not as old as Chen Yang!

"How about it, everyone, the starting price of this Xuande stove is quite high, the starting price is one million!" Mr. Xiong smiled and said to several people.

"One hundred points?" The old man couldn't help but be startled after hearing this, "Mr. Xiong, this... the poster's price is too outrageous. What's the market for Xuande Furnace outside now? Just ask for a hundred points?"

"Brother Meng, you can't think like that." After hearing the old man named Meng's move, Mr. Xiong explained from the side, "Although I can't conclude that this is Zhenxuan, it is undeniable that this Xuande stove, you take it If you go to the market, it’s better than the ones in the Forbidden City. Maybe it’s Zhenxuan!”

"The original poster is serious about selling it!"

Hearing what Mr. Xiong said, the man surnamed Meng sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had no chance with this stove. Several people returned to their seats. Song Qingyun closed his eyes slightly, recalling Chen Yang's Wu Bangzuo stove in his mind, and compared the two stoves in detail in his mind.

Chen Yang and Zhu Yuyan did not return to Song Qingyun. Chen Yang was still lying on the table looking at the Xuande stove. The Xuande stove was the master's favorite thing. Now that such a good Xuande stove was placed in front of him, Chen Yang knew in his heart that the master Uncle will definitely be tempted. What he has to do now is to find out what is wrong. Otherwise, with Song Qingyun's love for Xuande furnace, he will definitely get hot and smash out two hundred of them.

Don’t worry if you lose money, as you will earn it in the future at worst, but if your uncle’s reputation is ruined, it will be a big loss! But where is the flaw? The last time we encountered a similar situation, it was the Ru kiln in Beijing, Ru kiln?

Wait, this shit couldn’t have been done by layman Qingshan!

Thinking of this, Chen Yang stretched out his hand to pick up the Xuande furnace and take a closer look. If it was really made by layman Qingshan, then his name will be left on this furnace!

"Little friend Chen, haven't you seen enough?" Mr. Xiong asked while stroking his beard with a smile and looking at Chen Yang who looked serious.

"Mr. Xiong, let's go back right now." Zhu Yuyan pulled Chen Yang and signaled Chen Yang to put it down quickly.

"Um..." Chen Yang shook off Zhu Yuyan's hand, turned around and said to Mr. Xiong with a smile, "Mr. Xiong, you see that I am a junior. This opportunity is so rare. I want to learn more. , What a long-sightedness.”

"Anyway, they are also bidding. Let me take a look at the things here!"

Mr. Xiong looked at the other people, who were all thinking about the price. He couldn't help but nodded at Chen Yang and told Chen Yang to continue reading.

With the tacit consent of Mr. Xiong, Chen Yang took the Xuande furnace and examined it carefully. He looked inside and outside, even Tian Ji Er himself, but he couldn't find the money left by the Qingshan layman.

Oh, let me go, where did this guy leave the money this time? The more anxious Chen Yang became, the less he could find it. Sweat appeared on his forehead. The more anxious he became, the more confused he became. He almost dropped the Xuande stove on the table. Fortunately, Chen Yang caught it in time.

Chen Yang took a breath, calmed his mind, turned the Xuande stove over and looked at the bottom. This guy Qingshan Jushi wouldn't have put his own money on the bottom!

A piece of green rust near the base of the Xuande furnace was spotted by Chen Yang at a glance. Chen Yang touched it with his hand, then frowned slightly and picked at the green rust. His eyes lit up. This rust... Song Qingyun, who was sitting behind Chen Yang, also opened his eyes slightly. , a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

Chen Yang put down the Xuande stove and took a few steps back behind Song Qingyun. Then he whispered a few words in Song Qingyun's ear. Song Qingyun looked at Chen Yang, then chuckled and unfolded the note in his hand to Chen Yang. Take a look.

"Huh?" Chen Yang opened his eyes wide when he saw the blank note. Did his uncle see it?
