Me! The dark horse of the Siheyuan, my wife Chen Xueru

Yang Muzi did not answer, but asked: "Why do you say it is from the late Qing Dynasty?"

Polan Hou smiled and said, “First, the body is loose, which is a characteristic of the late Qing Dynasty, and second, the glaze is a bit rough.

During the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, porcelain was vigorously promoted with huge investments, and this kind of crude craftsmanship was definitely not seen.

After the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, the treasury was empty and investment was not strong enough, so it became rough. "

"That makes sense!" "Well said!"

"Good!" Everyone cheered when they heard it.

Cheng Dieyi felt a little embarrassed. What Marquis Paola said was well-reasoned and irrefutable.

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head, as if she couldn't bear to see Yang Muzi embarrassed.

"You said it was from the Kangxi period. Tell me what you think." Marquis Polan spoke lazily with a smile on his lips, as if he could see the young man's great social death scene right away.

Yang Muzi disagreed: "The monotonous color of this peony is the biggest evidence."

After hearing this, everyone was confused.

It is a bit far-fetched to say that the monotonous color can prove that something is fake.

Yang Muzi continued: “Enamel porcelain was not produced until the late years of Emperor Kangxi’s reign, and the biggest technical problem was color matching.

During the Qianlong period, the art was refined to the point where if a flower had the same color, it would be expressed in at least five different colors, making it more three-dimensional and with clearer layers.”

"Who has a flower vase from the Qianlong period? Bring it out for comparison." "I have one!"

Jin San took out a newspaper package from his pocket, opened it, and found a plum blossom bottle inside.

Yang Muzi took the vase and said, "This is a typical plum blossom vase from the Qianlong period.

Come and see this plum blossom." Everyone gathered together.

The small plum blossom is white in the middle and becomes darker in color as it goes out, in the order of white, pale white, pink, light red, red, and finally dark red.

"Look, how many colors are there?"

"Six, no, one of the colors," someone answered.

Yang Muzi smiled and asked, "What color is this flower?" "Red!"

Everyone spoke together.

"good!"

Yang Muzi nodded: "It looks red, but it is actually seven colors from light to dark. The effect of the flower is more obvious and more three-dimensional. This is the beauty of art."

"Okay, okay!"

"It's weird, there are seven colors, but it looks red."

"Beautiful, so beautiful, I didn't even notice it before."

Everyone didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly gave Yang Muzi a thumbs up.

Lou Xiao'e was amazed by what she saw. She never thought that a small plum blossom could have so much to say.

"Now let's look at this peony again."

When people looked at the peonies again, they felt something was wrong. There was no such beauty of distinct layers at all.

The Ragnarok Marquis's expression changed, and he frowned, "This alone cannot prove that it was made during the Kangxi period."

Yang Muzi continued: “I have said before that the color matching of porcelain, starting from the Kangxi period, would definitely become more and more sophisticated.

Once you learn this technique, there is no reason to lose it. Therefore, even in the late Qing Dynasty, color matching would only get better and better.

In the late Qing Dynasty, due to the small investment, the shortcomings were painting skills and firing technology. Look carefully, is there any problem with the painting of this peony?"

"this….."

Everyone was speechless. There was nothing wrong with what Yang Muzi said. His analysis was completely correct and much more detailed than what Hou Polan said.

The expression on Marquis Polan's face was already extremely ugly.

He had already acknowledged Yang Muzi's statement in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it.

"Boy, there's no way it's possible. Was it the late Qing Dynasty who imitated Kangxi and deliberately made the color like this?" Polan Hou insisted.

Saying this is cheating.

You know, his appraisal skills are a golden signboard in the capital. If others get angry after knowing about it, how can he save his face in the future?

What do his peers in the industry think of him?

After he said this, most people were unwilling to refute it for his sake.

Even if he could get away with the eye-drilling incident today, Yang Muzi saw through his thoughts and would not let him have his way.

Humph, you dare to sabotage me? I'll make you shit against the wall and show your face.

"This jar actually has a wheel pattern, but it's inside!" "Really?" I was really interested and couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Yang Muzi explained: "The location of the signature is quite hidden. You have to face the light and put a small mirror inside to reflect it."

"Hurry and get a mirror!"

Someone handed me a small mirror, which I put into the jar and held up to the light. Six words appeared: Made in the Kangxi Period of the Qing Dynasty.

“It’s really from the reign of Emperor Kangxi.”

"Oh my god, this kid is right."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that the Marquis would also be foolish sometimes." Listening to everyone's discussion, the Marquis of Pauper's face turned pale.

As a master appraiser, nothing could be more embarrassing for him than this.

"Bravo!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Yang Muzi with admiration: The man I like is indeed extraordinary.

After a long while, the Broken Marquis felt better: "Excuse me for making fun of you all, I admire this young man's identification skills."

After saying that, he quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Liu took out this thing, are you planning to trade it?"

The old man in the green coat nodded and said, "Whoever can give me 20 kilograms of rice will own this thing."

"Hiss - twenty kilograms, he's crazy." "The price is too high." "Yeah, who has twenty kilograms of rice?"

Twenty kilograms of rice?

Yang Muzi was speechless. Although this general jar was not a fine product, it was also authentic enamel porcelain. It would be no problem to sell it for two or three million in the future.

In this special era, twenty kilograms of rice is still considered expensive by others. "Ten kilograms of rice, if Mr. Liu is willing, I want it." Someone asked. The old man in the green coat shook his head: "Too little, add more." In fact, his lowest price is fifteen kilograms.

"Add one more pound!"

"No!" The old man in the green coat still shook his head. "I'll give you 20 kilograms!"

As soon as Yang Muzi opened his mouth, everyone looked at him. "Oh, you are still a fat sheep." "You are from a wealthy family." "You are an extraordinary boy."

Everyone was envious. In this era, anyone who could afford 20 kilograms of rice was definitely a super rich person.

"Changed." The old man in the green coat was very happy. "Wait a minute!"

Yang Muzi returned to the yard, weighed twenty kilograms of rice with a pole, and brought it back to the old man.

When everyone saw the food on Yang Muzi's cart, their eyes turned red.

Yang Muzi's car was covered with black cloth, and it looked like a big bulge that weighed at least five or six hundred kilograms.

The transaction continued, Yang Muzi became the protagonist, and many people gave him things in exchange.

Every item will be traded only after being appraised by Yang Muzi and Polan Hou.

The two had no disagreement about the things behind, and the identification skills of this Broken Marquis had already reached an extraordinary level.

At least there wasn't a single mistake.

Soon, 400 kilograms of grain were traded.

Yang Muzi had a great harvest. He collected three treasures worth tens of millions, and more than a dozen more, each of which was worth over a million.

"Brother Yang, look at this, how much can you give me?" Jin San smiled and took out a pink hollow bottle.

"This is... a pink hollow cloisonné enamel revolving bottle!" Yang Muzi blurted out.

This is an enameled porcelain ceiling from the Qianlong period. It not only uses Western filigree techniques, but also has a hollow rotating core.

There are not many collections in later generations, and their value exceeds 100 million.

As far as Yang Muzi knows, there is a collection of this kind in later generations, which is sold at Sotheby's.

It was auctioned for a sky-high price of 2.85 million yuan.

"Brother Yang, you have a good eye. This is the most precious item in my collection. How much can you give me?"

At this time, Lord Beile no longer had his previous arrogance. What's wrong with being a royal family? In this era, royal descendants also starved.

"How much do you want?" "One hundred and fifty kilograms of flour." "Deal!"

After the deal was done, the scene became quiet, and some people even took the food and planned to leave.

"I have something, how much is it worth?"

A middle-aged man wearing a military uniform took out a green brush washer from his arms.

"This is...Ruyao Washbasin!!!"

Hou Palan was no longer calm, he stood up excitedly, carefully took the brush and washed it, and read it again and again.

"My Lord, it's really a Ru kiln washbasin." "Yes, it is a Ru kiln washbasin!" said the Broken Lord firmly.

"Wow." "National treasure."

"Ru kiln washbasin, it's a real Ru kiln washbasin." Everyone present was shocked.

The name of Ru kiln washbasin is well known to everyone in the collecting world. There are three reasons why Ru kiln washbasin is precious. The first is the azure color of Ru kiln.

There is a line in Jay Chou's song in later generations: The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you.

The so-called "sky blue waiting for rain" means that in order to produce less sky blue, you must wait until it rains and the air is moist to fire out the perfect sky blue color.

Secondly, the Song Dynasty produced many great writers, and pen washers were their favorite porcelain collection, which doubled its value.

Last but not least, Ru Kiln is the leader among all kilns. From its opening to its closing, it is said to have hundreds of years of history. However, the peak period of Ru Kiln was only about twenty years.

There were less than 100 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain from that period. Ru kiln washbasins are even rarer, and things are precious because they are rare. "Take a look!"

Hou Polan handed the Ru kiln washbasin to Yang Muzi, who took just one look and lost interest.

"This is a replica." "A replica!" "Impossible!"

"The Marquis said it was true." Everyone was stunned.

Yang Muzi turned over his hand, and four white spots the size of sesame seeds appeared at the bottom.

"My Lord, what is this called? You should know it, right?" "I know!" Lord Paola nodded.

These sesame dots are the marks left by the support nails during firing.

Yang Muzi said: "During the Song Dynasty, Ru kiln washbasins were all fired with three nails, so they only had three sesame dots, but this one has four. Isn't that a wrong feature? Moreover, the glaze of this washbasin is not delicate enough."

Hou Polan was embarrassed. He had indeed heard of the Three-Nail Burning, but he had ignored it.

He thought for a moment and said, "When the Ru kiln lamp is washed, a full moon will be reflected at the bottom. This is completely consistent with the characteristics. Is it possible that the four-nail burner was used intentionally when it was given to someone?"

Yang Muzi shook his head: "The ancients would not make such a low-level mistake. Imitations are imitations. I have a real one. Come and take a look."

As Yang Muzi spoke, he took out an identical Ru kiln washbasin from his arms.

These two items are almost identical, both in texture and glaze.

However, if you look closely, there are still subtle differences. Yang Muzi's Ru kiln glaze is more delicate and has a better gloss.

Yang Muzi held the Ru kiln washbasin up to the light and a full moon appeared at the bottom, which was clearer than the fake one.

"This time it's the real thing!" "Master Yang is amazing."
