The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world
Chapter 26 Jinjiang Genuine Edition
After making an appointment with Xu Ze, Yun Zhou took the subway home.
As soon as she entered the door, Yu Xinlan greeted her, looked at her thin and tall son with distress, kept saying 'thinner and thinner', then cooked a large table of delicious food, and said that she would take advantage of these two days to make up for him. repair.
Yun Zhou looked at her mother with a smile, perhaps without the pressure of debts and the annoyance of relatives, Yu Xinlan's complexion became better and better, and she faintly recovered her youthful appearance, with a smile on her face from time to time, explaining that very comfortable.
So he was relieved.
Dozens of pots of flowers and plants placed on the balcony are well taken care of, growing in the direction of the sun, lush and lush.
Yun Zhou touched the leaves of Mimosa with his white fingertips, and the two rows of small leaves he touched shrank immediately. It was very interesting, and he couldn't help poking it again.
Several leaves of mimosa competed to close together and turned into a thin piece, as if protesting against the atrocities of the teenager.
"Sorry, sorry." Yunzhou smiled and picked up the watering can to water it.
Mimosa likes water and sunshine, so it needs to be watered every two days so that it will grow vigorously.
After pouring the water, the boy looked around for a week and felt that there was still a pet missing in the house.
I usually only come back on weekends. When he is away, I have a small pet to accompany my mother, at least I will not be lonely.
"Mom, what kind of animal do you like? Do you want to have a cat?" In my impression, my mother only raised a puppet cat when he was in elementary school, and it was a gift from a friend.
"No need, there is no time."
Yu Xinlan didn't want to raise a cat before, it was purely a friend's request. She was also caught by a cat and received three shots of rabies vaccine in a row.
As for the shoveling and bathing of the puppet, the nanny does it. She doesn't like it very much, she finds it troublesome.
"Then... how about raising a parrot?"
Yun Zhou thought for a while and said, "The budgerigar is easy to raise and cute. It can also imitate people's conversation and make it funny. I can teach him to speak if there is nothing to do."
"This is fine." Yu Xinlan thought the parrot was pretty good and easy to keep.
So, the two of them came to the flower and bird market that afternoon.The noon sun was still so hot, Yu Xinlan put on sun protection clothing, and Yun Zhou also put on a white baseball cap.
The car stopped slowly at the entrance of the street.
The Flower and Bird Market is next to the Antique Market, and on the other side of the street, apart from several large flower nurseries, there is also a comprehensive building filled with small and medium-sized shops, with stalls only set up at night.
The interior of the building mainly sells pets. The first floor is for birds and small flower shops. The second floor is for fish. The third floor is for common pets such as cats, dogs, and rabbits. very rich.
The birds are just on the first floor, and as soon as you enter, you can feel the sound of birds chirping one after another. It is not noisy, but crisp and melodious.
The two of Yun Zhou entered one of the shops, surrounded by steel-plated cages, and the birds inside were mainly parrots, in various colors such as white, green, and blue.
In the middle there is a large platform for display, surrounded by a fence, the top is not closed, and two pairs of white phoenixes open their mouths inside to beg for food. They are less than a month old and cannot fly.
Yun Zhou stretched out his slender fingers and approached one of the feet.
Xuanfeng was driven back by him at first, but later found that there was no danger, so she grabbed onto her fingers with her thin claws and stood up, was gently lifted by the young man, stroked the smooth feathers with her hands, showing a look of enjoyment .
"Good boy." He showed this phoenix to his mother, and Yu Xinlan also tried to get the other phoenix to stand on her finger.
When the pair of tiny claws firmly grasped the index finger, she showed a surprised and satisfied expression, which immediately made Yun Zhou laugh.
The all-white little jade dragon lazily curled up on the boy's wrist, curled up and yawned a little, looking curiously at the featherless bird in front of him.
Seeing Yunzhou smiling and stroking Xuanfeng's soft feathers, and then looking at the smooth and cold scales on his body, he flicked his tail violently, balled himself up in aggrieved manner, and shut himself up.
Yun Zhou looked at Xiao Yulong with amused eyes as he buried his head in his tail. The whole dragon was connected end to end, as if he was wearing a warm and lustrous Hetian white jade bracelet.
So easy to get jealous?
He put down Xuanfeng, whose feathers were not fully grown at the fingertips, and Xuanfeng screamed at him a few times, and flapped its wings a few times, but it didn't fly.
Yun Zhou pinched Xiao Yulong's icy and cool body, and gently stroked the smooth scales with his fingertips. Soon Xiao Yulong raised his head and called out to him in a childish voice.
Its voice was even milkier than usual, and it rubbed against its palm with two small dragon horns, obviously acting like a spoiled child.
Yu Xinlan also put back the Xuanfeng in her hand.These young birds still need to be artificially fed, and they have to inject food with a needle, which is relatively fragile.
She still prefers mature budgerigars.
The shopkeeper saw the eyes of the two looking around, pointed to the cages on the left hand side and said, "Do you want to buy parrots? This kind of ordinary 80 ones, 150 pairs."
Show him some more brightly colored ones, "300-600 a pair like this." Finally pointing to the cage hanging at the door, "If you want more beautiful ones, the two pairs at the door cost 1000 yuan a pair."
Yun Zhou immediately fell in love with the pair of light blue budgerigars hanging at the door.
There is a white patch on the top of their heads, and the upper back and wing coverts are white-gray. Each feather has a little bit of gray and black, arranged in dots, like splashed ink on a light-colored canvas.
As for the feathers on the chest and belly, they are light blue, the same color as the sky, not too rich, with a little fluffy feeling, which is very beautiful.
The shop owner was obviously very proud, and said with a smile: "These two pairs are our family's signature. The green pair was reserved two days ago, and only the blue pair remains."
Budgerigars are originally a relatively cheap species, but the price of those with bright coats is also not low, it depends on the ability of pairing and breeding.
The shop owner dared to say that the color of their tiger skin is definitely the most beautiful in the whole flower and bird market.
The two walked to the door and took a closer look. Yu Xinlan was attracted by the pair of bright and lively parrots, while Yun Zhou's eyes were on the pair of bird food jars, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Different from the current modern automatic feeders, they are a pair of bird food cans about three or four centimeters high. There are slight traces of wear and tear, and the shape is exquisite and compact, with the simple and simple texture of the age.
If he guessed correctly—
The shopkeeper saw his gaze sweeping over the pair of bird food jars, and said 'oh': "I found this somewhere in a corner when I was cleaning up the house last time.
I looked pretty, and the color matched the pair of parrots, so I put them on. If you find it inconvenient, you can replace them with automatic feeding ones. "
"It's okay, it's pretty." Yun Zhou looked away, ignoring the horns of the little Yulong and the baby's whimpering, "Mom, let's buy this pair of blue ones."
Yu Xinlan also liked this pair of budgerigars very much, so she had no objection.
Seeing that the business has been completed, the owner smiled and said, "It's the right thing to see, right, okay.
I'll make a set for you, including cages, bird nests, swings, commonly used pills, bird food for two months... Let me calculate, the total is 1500. "
Yun Zhou paid the money readily, and the shopkeeper looked at the account information on his mobile phone, his eyebrows and eyes widened.
It's rare to meet such unconcerned customers, and I didn't talk about the price at all. It would be great if I met such customers every time.
"Go slowly, come again next time."
The shopkeeper greeted the two with a smile. He didn't know that he had sold the treasure, and the birds in the whole shop were not as expensive as this pair of bird food jars.
Yun Zhou held the birdcage in one hand and the bird food in the other. After confirming that the shop owner had gone back, he bought a set of automatic feeder and water feeder separately two shops away.
In order not to attract attention, I bought two extra bags of bird food, anyway, this kind of thing is not too much.
After getting out of the building and getting into the car, Yu Xinlan turned her head and asked, "Zhouzhou, why did you buy another set of feeders? If it's inconvenient, you can ask him to replace them. I think the pair of bird food cans are also good." Not very pretty."
Yun Zhou sat in the back seat of the private car, opened the cage and took out the pair of small and exquisite bird food jars, and said with a smile: "Mom, I guess that the pair of bird food jars may be celadon from the Song Dynasty. Grandpa confirm, let's go home first."
"Song Dynasty...porcelain, my God, what a coincidence?!"
Yu Xinlan glanced at her son in the rearview mirror, her eyes flashed with surprise, such a pair of humble bird food jars were Song Dynasty porcelain?The son's luck must be too good!
But thinking of the recent arrears and the newly bought house all brought by antiques, she felt it should be taken for granted.
She parked the car on the side of the road: "Zhou Zhou, I can just go back by myself. You can go directly to Mr. Du, the Antique Street and the Flower and Bird Market are so close, there is no need to bother."
"...that's fine." Yunzhou originally planned to come over tomorrow, but that would take half a day, and he had to rush back to school in the afternoon, so the time was tight.
Why don't you go and pay a visit to Grandpa Du today, and stay with your mother at home tomorrow.
"By the way, Mom, the bird food is too heavy for you to pick up when I come back."
"Don't worry, there's an elevator." Yu Xinlan felt that her son was overprotective of her since two months ago.It's really not necessary. She's not someone who can't carry her shoulders and handles, so this weight is nothing.
Yun Zhou watched the vehicle leave, and walked towards the Treasure Pavilion with a small bird food jar in one hand.
As early as the first time he came into contact with porcelain, Xiao Yulong opened his mouth to suck all the spiritual energy from it, and the scales on his body lit up two rows again, shining with silver light and glowing brightly.
Seeing Xiao Yulong's performance, Yun Zhou became firmer in his judgment: If he guessed correctly, these should be a pair of 'Southern Song Dynasty Longquan Kiln Celadon Jar with Lotus Petal Pattern'.
People in China have had the custom of raising birds since ancient times. From the inner gardens of the palace to the literati and ordinary people, they all enjoy raising birds.
As the saying goes: "Warriors keep thrushes, literati keep embroidered eyes, ladies keep parrots, and sons keep larks." This is enough to show that the wind of raising birds has spread to all classes and statuses, and it has gradually become a very common way of leisure.
According to historical records, Concubine Yang Gui of the Tang Dynasty liked to feed parrots.
Birdcages are made for raising birds, and the derivatives of birdcages, such as standing rings, standing bars, cages, food jars, etc., have almost become a series.
Among them, the bird food jar is a kind of food container, and it is a very particular one among many bird feeding utensils.
Huaguo was the first country to invent porcelain. Most of the bowls commonly used by people are porcelain bowls. Bird food jars have also enjoyed good treatment as pet food utensils. Various shapes and decorations have continued to this day.
A beautiful bird food jar can add color to the bird cage, which is also the capital of the birdkeeper to show off.Generally, there are at least two tanks in the birdcage, one for food and one for water.
Although the bird food jar is small, it is "although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs". It integrates porcelain making technology, painting technology and aesthetics, which is not only practical, ornamental, but also valuable for collection. ①
From the discovery of black-glazed bird-food jars in the Eastern Han Dynasty, to the white-glazed bird-food jars of the Tang Dynasty, to the Longquan kiln bird-food jars of the Song Dynasty, to the blue-and-white bird-food jars of Ming Xuande, and even to the peak period of porcelain firing in the Qing Dynasty.
During the Qing Dynasty, square, round, flower-shaped, hexagonal and other forms, white glaze, blue glaze, blue glaze, green glaze, yellow glaze and blue and white, pastel and bucket color and other types of bird food jars It is very ready.
As for after the Republic of China, porcelain showed a trend of decline, and the wind of raising birds also fell silent, and it was no longer the glory of the past.
In history, except for Concubine Yang Guifei, several generations of emperors in the Song Dynasty were fond of raising birds.
Song Huizong painted a picture of "Picture of Five-Colored Parrots", and personally wrote an inscription saying: "Five-colored parrots come from Lingbiao... If you look at it with your eyes, it is better than a picture."
For Song Gaozong, there is also a record in the history books that "it is good to raise pigeons, and it flies by itself".
It is said that he kept more than 100 parrots in the palace, and one of the red parrots was especially fond of shouting "Long Live". ②
Most of the bird food jars used by Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou were official kilns made by Longquan Kiln.
Longquan Kiln is a famous kiln in Chinese history, and it is the sixth largest kiln mouth in Song Dynasty besides Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln and Ding Kiln.
It was founded in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty and ended in the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of producing porcelain for more than 1600 years and is the longest porcelain kiln system in the history of Chinese porcelain making.
Longquan kiln is famous for firing celadon. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the beauty of celadon glaze color and texture reached the peak in history, and it was known as artificial "sapphire".
A ceramic historian once praised: "Every piece of Longquan celadon in the Song Dynasty still fascinates us with its beauty."
It shows that the world praises and appreciates Longquan kiln celadon.
**
Yun Zhou took the pair of bird food jars and walked into the Treasure Pavilion.
On a scorching summer day, Zhenbao Pavilion looked very deserted, and at most one or two people could be seen every day.
Such a large store rarely has customers, and ordinary customers come just to look at it. Most of the business is maintained by big customers and old customers. It has truly fulfilled the saying "If you don't open for three years, you can eat for three years after opening." said.
Shopkeeper Wu was playing chess with Mr. Du when he saw Yun Zhou and greeted him, "Xiao Zhou is here."
"Uncle Wu, Grandpa Du." After he said hello, he didn't say much, and sat quietly by the side to watch the two play chess.
After 10 minutes, Mr. Du smiled and dropped a piece. Shopkeeper Wu said "Ouch" and said, "Oh, I lost again. Mr. Du, your chess skills are too superb. I feel ashamed of myself when I take one move and watch five moves. "
Old Man Du laughed: "It's an exaggeration. If I had this kind of ability, I would have become a Go master long ago, but I just played a lot and learned some skills."
He put away the pieces on the chessboard and turned to Yun Zhou, "Didn't you go to school, do you still have time to come?"
Yun Zhou smiled slightly: "Z University is in S City, not far away, I just go home on the weekend and have a look. Besides, Grandpa Du, you also need someone to accompany you."
What he said made old man Du feel ironic. It happened that there was a customer in the store, and shopkeeper Wu went to greet the customer, so the old man asked Yun Zhou to play chess with him.
He holds the white stones, and Yun Zhou holds the black stones.
Yunzhou learned Go from his father when he was in elementary school. He learned it for about half a year, and he took a few classes later, but he played less after junior high school. In the middle of the game, you lose the battle.
"Grandpa Du is superb at chess, I am ashamed of myself."
"How old are you, learn slowly in the future."
Grandpa Du won two games in a row and was in a good mood. Yun Zhou took the opportunity to put the bird food jar in his pocket on the chessboard he had cleaned up, "Grandpa Du, look, is this the blue-glazed bird food jar from the Longquan Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty?"
"Go shopping for antiques again? Bird food jars, this is rare in the antique market."
Mr. Du opened the glasses case at hand, took out a pair of reading glasses inlaid with gold rims, and held the pair of small and exquisite porcelain in his hand to examine them carefully.
This is a pair of bird food cans with a height of 3.3 cm and a bottom diameter of 2 cm. From the bottom, it has a flat circular arc abdomen that protrudes upwards, and at the top, it converges to form a round mouth with a diameter of 2.4 cm. The overall shape is like a flower. A budding lotus.
Its abdomen is also decorated with upturned lotus petal patterns, which are stacked layer by layer from the bottom. The petal ridges of the lotus are very clear, and the thin lines on it can be seen.The shoulder is equipped with an ear, which is equivalent to the handle of the cup, which can be picked up flexibly by hand.
The whole body of this pair of bird food jars is glazed with green glaze. The glaze color is bright and thick, moist and exquisite, and the color is stable.
The ring foot at the bottom is carefully repaired, the ring foot is very thin, and the shape is exquisite and exquisite. It is a very delicate bird food jar.
After careful observation for a long time, Mr. Du put down the bird food jar gently, and said with a smile: "Judging from the shape, glaze color and decoration, it is indeed the green glaze of Longquan Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty. This glaze color is also called 'plum green'. The color is like green plum, shiny and translucent, which is the unique color of Longquan kiln green glaze.
Xiaozhou, there are not many bird food cans like this on the market, where did you buy them? "
"This afternoon, my mother and I went to the flower and bird market to buy budgerigars, and there were such a pair of bird food jars hanging in the birdcage at the door.
The shopkeeper found it in a corner of his house. He saw that it matched the color of the parrot and put it in a cage. I just saw it and bought it. "
"Hey, that's it...? Uncle Wu is really envious of your luck, Xiao Zhou."
Shopkeeper Wu happened to hear it when he came over, and looked at him incredulously, "When you go out to buy a bird, you can find a pair of bird food jars from Longquan Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty!"
Then he shook his head and said, "That's right, who would want to go to the flower and bird market to find antiques? It can be regarded as another way. Sometimes luck can't stop it!"
Then he asked, "How much did you pay for those bird food cans?"
Yun Zhou smiled and said: "The price of the pair of parrots is 1000, plus the birdcage and other things, the total is 1500, and the pair of bird food cans are included in it."
Shopkeeper Wu immediately opened his mouth, tremblingly said: "That is to say, you didn't spend any money at all—"
Yun Zhou nodded belatedly, "It seems so."
Shopkeeper Wu showed shock, and murmured: "You just picked up another leak. You picked up three big leaks in two months. What level is this, what kind of luck?!"
He had never seen anyone so lucky.
If he has the ability, he will be able to open his own collection in a few years.
Mr. Du looked at Yunzhou with the same surprise in his eyes. His apprentice is simply possessed by a god and Buddha, and the good luck of others in his life is not as good as his.
"What are you going to do with the pair of bird food jars this time? Are you going to keep them for yourself or sell them?"
Yun Zhou thought for a while: "I don't plan to make a move right now, but if Grandpa Du or Uncle Wu want to collect it, I can give it to you."
What he said was the truth. These two people helped him a lot. If it weren't for the help of the two of them, he would definitely not be where he is now.
Mr. Du hurriedly waved his hands: "This is not acceptable.
Although the bird food jars of Longquan kiln are not as good as the blue and white bird food jars of Ming Xuande and clear pastels, the price is not low, and each one costs 20 to 30 yuan, not to mention that you are such a well-preserved pair.If you like it, you can easily sell it for 80 yuan. "
Shopkeeper Wu also added beside him: "Yes, don't underestimate this bird food jar. A small Tang Baiyu melon-shaped bird food jar once fetched a price of more than 1000 million yuan, which is definitely not inferior to other porcelain.
For example, the bird food jars of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty have been handed down to the present, and they are basically single: one is that some utensils hold bird food and water are not the same, some are tall, some are short; second, it is difficult to preserve .
After all, the Song Dynasty is at least six to seven hundred years from now, and many of them were broken or lost in the middle, and there are not many that can be made into a pair. "
Yun Zhou didn't expect the price to be so high. In this case, it's reasonable for the two of them not to accept it. Next time, give something else.
Seeing shopkeeper Wu staring at the pair of bird food cans, he felt a little bit of understanding: "Uncle Wu, otherwise, the pair of bird food cans should be placed in the Zhenbao Pavilion first."
"...Haha, thank you Xiaozhou. Don't worry, I won't sell it to others unless you agree." Shopkeeper Wu smiled happily. He has almost all types of porcelain here, except for a pair of bird food jars.
This pair of Longquan kiln celadon bird food jars with lotus petal pattern in the Southern Song Dynasty can be regarded as a small official kiln boutique in the store.
The days in summer are very long. When Yun Zhou walked out of the gate of Zhenbao Pavilion, the sun slanted westward. When he got home, it was time for dinner. He had to go back as soon as possible.
However, just after he walked out of the gate, the young man saw an unexpected visitor, and the clear eyes of the young man instantly turned cold.
Fu Yan looked at Yun Zhou with joy, his silent eyes burst into brilliant brilliance in an instant, like a hungry pedestrian seeing an oasis.
His shirt was crumpled, and sweat dripped down his temples. He was no longer as glamorous as a nobleman in the past. He didn't know how long he had been waiting in the sun.
It took a whole month for Fu Yan to recover from his last illness.
The pain of losing his beloved in the dream and the missing memory after waking up are intertwined. Every time he wakes up, he feels faintly that he seems to have forgotten something, and his heart is empty, as if a big piece is missing.
But his mind was always filled with the figure of a person, he couldn't see the face clearly, he only remembered the clean and bright smile of the young man, like a ray of light shining into his heart——
Fu Yan knew that he had to find him!Because he is his own salvation!
He tried his best to search for his memory, but his previous memories were all blurred, only a faint image of the boy he saw at the 'First Bank' last time remained, but unfortunately he couldn't recall it no matter what.
Fu Yan kept asking his father, and finally learned from the other party that the boy was called Yun Zhou.
Cloud boat!Yun Zhou——!
Yes, yes, yes, that's the name!
He was afraid that he would forget it again, so he frantically filled his notebook with the name, and whenever he had time, he would go to the antique market to stay, and he didn't care about anything.
Fu Jing felt that his son must be crazy.
He originally thought that Fu Yan's vision for antiques was the best among his peers, and he was usually calm in dealing with people, but he didn't expect to be so obsessed with a young man.
The most frightening thing is that he asked a private investigator to investigate the relationship between the two, and concluded that the two did not, have, interact, or meet at all. The last time they sold coins was the first time they met!
Crazy, Fu Yan is definitely crazy!
Thinking of the impotent words of the masters of metaphysics, Fu Jing closed his eyes helplessly. Perhaps he had to reconsider the candidate for the successor of the Fu family.
Yun Zhou didn't want to see Fu Yan at all, he pretended not to see Fu Yan and walked forward, but was blocked by the other party, so he had to stop where he was.
"Yunzhou, do you...remember me?" Fu Yan looked at the young man in front of him ecstatically, his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.
He quickly tidied up his shirt, trying to face his sweetheart with the best image, looking at the young man with extreme greed, he couldn't bear to move his eyes away.
"...You are?" Yun Zhou raised his head and asked, with a hint of doubt on his expression.
If it wasn't for keeping the secret of his rebirth, he would have kicked the person in front of him away.
"My name is Fu Yan. We met last time at the No. [-] Bank." Fu Yan's heart was cold, and the corner of his mouth was bitter. Doesn't the young man have any impression of him?
"Oh, so it's you." Yun Zhou's tone was flat, even a little impatient, "What's the matter, I'm going home."
"I—" Being treated with such indifference by the young man, Fu Yan seemed to have been splashed with cold water, the light in his eyes went out instantly, and he actually felt a chill in the scorching summer.
This chill spread all the way to my heart, and even that fiery heart froze together.
"...It's okay." Fu Yan said with difficulty. "May I ask your contact information? If you need anything in the future, you can always—"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yun Zhou, "I don't think it's necessary, goodbye."
"Don't go—" Fu Yan's heart tightened, and he wanted to reach out to grab the young man's wrist, but he retracted it reflexively the moment he touched him.
The little Yulong on Yunzhou's wrist had already straightened up and opened his mouth. Seeing the disappearance of the prey, he flicked his tail angrily.
Hmph, I hate it, I didn't even bite (〝▼皮▼).
"...don't go."
Fu Yan took two steps to stand in front of the other party, begging with desperate eyes, if not for the people coming and going around him, he would have knelt down to the other party, "Yunzhou, can you give me a chance?"
Yun Zhou frowned in disgust, "Mr. Fu, you must have mistaken someone."
Go find your Bai Yueguang quickly, and don't bother him anymore.
"...I swear that I never admit my mistake." Fu Yan looked at the boy with eyes full of seriousness and pain, and there was an inexplicable grievance in his eyes. Why didn't the boy believe him?
Yun Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to him, and quickly left sideways to hide in the turbulent crowd, leaving the other party staring at his back in a daze.
It wasn't until the boy's figure completely disappeared that Fu Yan slowly came back to his senses.
He looked at the vermilion plaque behind him - "Treasure Pavilion", and forced himself to calm down.
Perhaps, he can use other methods to please the boy.
**
After Yunzhou received Xu Ze's message, he came to the school at noon the next day.
Young Master Xu was sitting on the bed playing games in a depressed mood, with his long legs stretched out casually, his fingers moving quickly, and with the sound of explosions, he shot the enemy headshot without mercy.
When he saw Yun Zhou, he immediately put down his phone, and regardless of his teammates screaming that they were dying, he took out a red sandalwood box about [-] centimeters long and [-] or [-] centimeters high from the bottom of the closet, and carried it to the balcony with both hands.
Yun Zhou followed him and locked the door.
Seeing this, Hong Hai whispered to Xue Yifan: "Hey, did you see that box? It's made of carved rosewood, and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per box. I just don't know what precious things are in it. I really want to take a look." .”
Xue Yifan looked at his eager face, "Don't come up with any bad ideas, otherwise Young Master Xu won't be able to spare you."
"Of course I know that."
That's what Hong Hai said, he can't afford to offend First Young Master Xu, the last eavesdropping made the other party treat him coldly for a long time, and it wasn't until the last time everyone went to eat barbecue together that they eased up a little.
Xu Ze solemnly handed the red sandalwood box to Yun Zhou: "All the pieces are here, and one piece is not bad."
Yun Zhou sat on the bamboo stool on the balcony, carefully placed the box on his lap, supported it with one hand, and lifted the lid with the other.
On the soft velvet lining, there are only a dozen large and small fragments neatly placed inside. The glaze is delicate and the workmanship is exquisite. It is an enamel-colored jade pot and spring bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!
The official name of enamel-colored porcelain is "painting enamel on porcelain body", and it is a kind of porcelain decoration technique to paint patterns on the porcelain body with enamel color glaze, which was introduced from abroad.
In addition to export porcelain, enamel colored porcelain is only a treasure enshrined in the palace, and it is absolutely forbidden to flow out of the palace.Except for a small number of flawless treasures selected by the emperor, which can be kept in the palace for his enjoyment, all other defective products must be destroyed, and almost none of them can be seen by the people.
So the ones left behind are very precious, and all of them are worth tens of millions of dollars in the auction house.
Xu Ze followed Yun Zhou and squatted down. With his slender fingers, he simply spliced the pieces together into a complete piece of porcelain. Except for a few pieces that were relatively small, the pieces were not bad.
The two carefully put the porcelain pieces in the red sandalwood box, Xu Ze stood up, and looked at the young man with complicated eyes, "... Can that master really repair it?"
Yun Zhou carefully dragged the box in his hand, and looked at the other party seriously, "I guarantee it with my personality, it is absolutely possible."
He stroked the natural grain on the rosewood wood with his hands, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Then, you and Mr. Xu——
"
Xu Ze put his hands on the railing lazily, looking at the blue sky: "The old man is not at home, he is going to participate in an overseas auction, and he will do some cultural exchanges there, and he will not be back until at least half a month later .”
He stole these pieces of porcelain out of his grandfather's study, and no one was alarmed except the housekeeper knew about them.The butler watched him grow up and promised him that he would not tell anything.
Thinking that only he could enter that study room, and no one else could enter even the old man's own son, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
At such an old age, the old man still flies abroad to participate in auctions, and he has no one to accompany him except his secretary. Does he sometimes feel lonely?
When he comes back—
Forget it, let's just give in first.
Thinking of this, Xu Ze suddenly felt that it didn't seem so important who apologized first.
He looked sideways at the clear-eyed young man beside him, the sun had plated a layer of gold on his face, and even his slender eyelashes were clearly visible, like a thick small fan casting a layer of light shadow.
Those clear eyes seemed to reflect the sun, they were astonishingly beautiful, and at the same time warmed his heart.
This time... I really want to thank him.
Xu family.
After Xu Ze took the red sandalwood box away, the butler immediately called Mr. Xu.
"Master, the young master secretly took away the broken porcelain pieces. He probably wanted someone to repair them and return them to you 'undamaged' after the repairs are completed. His appearance is much more mature than before, and he no longer has the urge to leave when he first left. , you can rest assured."
Mr. Xu coughed twice with a smile, "I hope so. My grandson is good in everything, but his temper is too stubborn, exactly the same as when I was young."
The butler sighed, "Master, why didn't you tell the young master of your good intentions.
He broke your favorite jade pot and spring vase. If you don't punish him, the rest of the family will definitely make a fuss about it and ask you to revoke his right to be the heir. "
Mr. Xu smiled sarcastically, "I'm not blind yet. None of these people have A Ze's vision and temperament, and they are all idle. It would be a disaster if the business was handed over to them."
"As for Aze," Mr. Xu said after a moment of silence, "There are some things...he has to figure it out on his own. I can't accompany him and give him advice all my life."
Butler: "I hope the young master can grow up as soon as possible, and you can relax."
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "There will be such a day."
As soon as she entered the door, Yu Xinlan greeted her, looked at her thin and tall son with distress, kept saying 'thinner and thinner', then cooked a large table of delicious food, and said that she would take advantage of these two days to make up for him. repair.
Yun Zhou looked at her mother with a smile, perhaps without the pressure of debts and the annoyance of relatives, Yu Xinlan's complexion became better and better, and she faintly recovered her youthful appearance, with a smile on her face from time to time, explaining that very comfortable.
So he was relieved.
Dozens of pots of flowers and plants placed on the balcony are well taken care of, growing in the direction of the sun, lush and lush.
Yun Zhou touched the leaves of Mimosa with his white fingertips, and the two rows of small leaves he touched shrank immediately. It was very interesting, and he couldn't help poking it again.
Several leaves of mimosa competed to close together and turned into a thin piece, as if protesting against the atrocities of the teenager.
"Sorry, sorry." Yunzhou smiled and picked up the watering can to water it.
Mimosa likes water and sunshine, so it needs to be watered every two days so that it will grow vigorously.
After pouring the water, the boy looked around for a week and felt that there was still a pet missing in the house.
I usually only come back on weekends. When he is away, I have a small pet to accompany my mother, at least I will not be lonely.
"Mom, what kind of animal do you like? Do you want to have a cat?" In my impression, my mother only raised a puppet cat when he was in elementary school, and it was a gift from a friend.
"No need, there is no time."
Yu Xinlan didn't want to raise a cat before, it was purely a friend's request. She was also caught by a cat and received three shots of rabies vaccine in a row.
As for the shoveling and bathing of the puppet, the nanny does it. She doesn't like it very much, she finds it troublesome.
"Then... how about raising a parrot?"
Yun Zhou thought for a while and said, "The budgerigar is easy to raise and cute. It can also imitate people's conversation and make it funny. I can teach him to speak if there is nothing to do."
"This is fine." Yu Xinlan thought the parrot was pretty good and easy to keep.
So, the two of them came to the flower and bird market that afternoon.The noon sun was still so hot, Yu Xinlan put on sun protection clothing, and Yun Zhou also put on a white baseball cap.
The car stopped slowly at the entrance of the street.
The Flower and Bird Market is next to the Antique Market, and on the other side of the street, apart from several large flower nurseries, there is also a comprehensive building filled with small and medium-sized shops, with stalls only set up at night.
The interior of the building mainly sells pets. The first floor is for birds and small flower shops. The second floor is for fish. The third floor is for common pets such as cats, dogs, and rabbits. very rich.
The birds are just on the first floor, and as soon as you enter, you can feel the sound of birds chirping one after another. It is not noisy, but crisp and melodious.
The two of Yun Zhou entered one of the shops, surrounded by steel-plated cages, and the birds inside were mainly parrots, in various colors such as white, green, and blue.
In the middle there is a large platform for display, surrounded by a fence, the top is not closed, and two pairs of white phoenixes open their mouths inside to beg for food. They are less than a month old and cannot fly.
Yun Zhou stretched out his slender fingers and approached one of the feet.
Xuanfeng was driven back by him at first, but later found that there was no danger, so she grabbed onto her fingers with her thin claws and stood up, was gently lifted by the young man, stroked the smooth feathers with her hands, showing a look of enjoyment .
"Good boy." He showed this phoenix to his mother, and Yu Xinlan also tried to get the other phoenix to stand on her finger.
When the pair of tiny claws firmly grasped the index finger, she showed a surprised and satisfied expression, which immediately made Yun Zhou laugh.
The all-white little jade dragon lazily curled up on the boy's wrist, curled up and yawned a little, looking curiously at the featherless bird in front of him.
Seeing Yunzhou smiling and stroking Xuanfeng's soft feathers, and then looking at the smooth and cold scales on his body, he flicked his tail violently, balled himself up in aggrieved manner, and shut himself up.
Yun Zhou looked at Xiao Yulong with amused eyes as he buried his head in his tail. The whole dragon was connected end to end, as if he was wearing a warm and lustrous Hetian white jade bracelet.
So easy to get jealous?
He put down Xuanfeng, whose feathers were not fully grown at the fingertips, and Xuanfeng screamed at him a few times, and flapped its wings a few times, but it didn't fly.
Yun Zhou pinched Xiao Yulong's icy and cool body, and gently stroked the smooth scales with his fingertips. Soon Xiao Yulong raised his head and called out to him in a childish voice.
Its voice was even milkier than usual, and it rubbed against its palm with two small dragon horns, obviously acting like a spoiled child.
Yu Xinlan also put back the Xuanfeng in her hand.These young birds still need to be artificially fed, and they have to inject food with a needle, which is relatively fragile.
She still prefers mature budgerigars.
The shopkeeper saw the eyes of the two looking around, pointed to the cages on the left hand side and said, "Do you want to buy parrots? This kind of ordinary 80 ones, 150 pairs."
Show him some more brightly colored ones, "300-600 a pair like this." Finally pointing to the cage hanging at the door, "If you want more beautiful ones, the two pairs at the door cost 1000 yuan a pair."
Yun Zhou immediately fell in love with the pair of light blue budgerigars hanging at the door.
There is a white patch on the top of their heads, and the upper back and wing coverts are white-gray. Each feather has a little bit of gray and black, arranged in dots, like splashed ink on a light-colored canvas.
As for the feathers on the chest and belly, they are light blue, the same color as the sky, not too rich, with a little fluffy feeling, which is very beautiful.
The shop owner was obviously very proud, and said with a smile: "These two pairs are our family's signature. The green pair was reserved two days ago, and only the blue pair remains."
Budgerigars are originally a relatively cheap species, but the price of those with bright coats is also not low, it depends on the ability of pairing and breeding.
The shop owner dared to say that the color of their tiger skin is definitely the most beautiful in the whole flower and bird market.
The two walked to the door and took a closer look. Yu Xinlan was attracted by the pair of bright and lively parrots, while Yun Zhou's eyes were on the pair of bird food jars, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Different from the current modern automatic feeders, they are a pair of bird food cans about three or four centimeters high. There are slight traces of wear and tear, and the shape is exquisite and compact, with the simple and simple texture of the age.
If he guessed correctly—
The shopkeeper saw his gaze sweeping over the pair of bird food jars, and said 'oh': "I found this somewhere in a corner when I was cleaning up the house last time.
I looked pretty, and the color matched the pair of parrots, so I put them on. If you find it inconvenient, you can replace them with automatic feeding ones. "
"It's okay, it's pretty." Yun Zhou looked away, ignoring the horns of the little Yulong and the baby's whimpering, "Mom, let's buy this pair of blue ones."
Yu Xinlan also liked this pair of budgerigars very much, so she had no objection.
Seeing that the business has been completed, the owner smiled and said, "It's the right thing to see, right, okay.
I'll make a set for you, including cages, bird nests, swings, commonly used pills, bird food for two months... Let me calculate, the total is 1500. "
Yun Zhou paid the money readily, and the shopkeeper looked at the account information on his mobile phone, his eyebrows and eyes widened.
It's rare to meet such unconcerned customers, and I didn't talk about the price at all. It would be great if I met such customers every time.
"Go slowly, come again next time."
The shopkeeper greeted the two with a smile. He didn't know that he had sold the treasure, and the birds in the whole shop were not as expensive as this pair of bird food jars.
Yun Zhou held the birdcage in one hand and the bird food in the other. After confirming that the shop owner had gone back, he bought a set of automatic feeder and water feeder separately two shops away.
In order not to attract attention, I bought two extra bags of bird food, anyway, this kind of thing is not too much.
After getting out of the building and getting into the car, Yu Xinlan turned her head and asked, "Zhouzhou, why did you buy another set of feeders? If it's inconvenient, you can ask him to replace them. I think the pair of bird food cans are also good." Not very pretty."
Yun Zhou sat in the back seat of the private car, opened the cage and took out the pair of small and exquisite bird food jars, and said with a smile: "Mom, I guess that the pair of bird food jars may be celadon from the Song Dynasty. Grandpa confirm, let's go home first."
"Song Dynasty...porcelain, my God, what a coincidence?!"
Yu Xinlan glanced at her son in the rearview mirror, her eyes flashed with surprise, such a pair of humble bird food jars were Song Dynasty porcelain?The son's luck must be too good!
But thinking of the recent arrears and the newly bought house all brought by antiques, she felt it should be taken for granted.
She parked the car on the side of the road: "Zhou Zhou, I can just go back by myself. You can go directly to Mr. Du, the Antique Street and the Flower and Bird Market are so close, there is no need to bother."
"...that's fine." Yunzhou originally planned to come over tomorrow, but that would take half a day, and he had to rush back to school in the afternoon, so the time was tight.
Why don't you go and pay a visit to Grandpa Du today, and stay with your mother at home tomorrow.
"By the way, Mom, the bird food is too heavy for you to pick up when I come back."
"Don't worry, there's an elevator." Yu Xinlan felt that her son was overprotective of her since two months ago.It's really not necessary. She's not someone who can't carry her shoulders and handles, so this weight is nothing.
Yun Zhou watched the vehicle leave, and walked towards the Treasure Pavilion with a small bird food jar in one hand.
As early as the first time he came into contact with porcelain, Xiao Yulong opened his mouth to suck all the spiritual energy from it, and the scales on his body lit up two rows again, shining with silver light and glowing brightly.
Seeing Xiao Yulong's performance, Yun Zhou became firmer in his judgment: If he guessed correctly, these should be a pair of 'Southern Song Dynasty Longquan Kiln Celadon Jar with Lotus Petal Pattern'.
People in China have had the custom of raising birds since ancient times. From the inner gardens of the palace to the literati and ordinary people, they all enjoy raising birds.
As the saying goes: "Warriors keep thrushes, literati keep embroidered eyes, ladies keep parrots, and sons keep larks." This is enough to show that the wind of raising birds has spread to all classes and statuses, and it has gradually become a very common way of leisure.
According to historical records, Concubine Yang Gui of the Tang Dynasty liked to feed parrots.
Birdcages are made for raising birds, and the derivatives of birdcages, such as standing rings, standing bars, cages, food jars, etc., have almost become a series.
Among them, the bird food jar is a kind of food container, and it is a very particular one among many bird feeding utensils.
Huaguo was the first country to invent porcelain. Most of the bowls commonly used by people are porcelain bowls. Bird food jars have also enjoyed good treatment as pet food utensils. Various shapes and decorations have continued to this day.
A beautiful bird food jar can add color to the bird cage, which is also the capital of the birdkeeper to show off.Generally, there are at least two tanks in the birdcage, one for food and one for water.
Although the bird food jar is small, it is "although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs". It integrates porcelain making technology, painting technology and aesthetics, which is not only practical, ornamental, but also valuable for collection. ①
From the discovery of black-glazed bird-food jars in the Eastern Han Dynasty, to the white-glazed bird-food jars of the Tang Dynasty, to the Longquan kiln bird-food jars of the Song Dynasty, to the blue-and-white bird-food jars of Ming Xuande, and even to the peak period of porcelain firing in the Qing Dynasty.
During the Qing Dynasty, square, round, flower-shaped, hexagonal and other forms, white glaze, blue glaze, blue glaze, green glaze, yellow glaze and blue and white, pastel and bucket color and other types of bird food jars It is very ready.
As for after the Republic of China, porcelain showed a trend of decline, and the wind of raising birds also fell silent, and it was no longer the glory of the past.
In history, except for Concubine Yang Guifei, several generations of emperors in the Song Dynasty were fond of raising birds.
Song Huizong painted a picture of "Picture of Five-Colored Parrots", and personally wrote an inscription saying: "Five-colored parrots come from Lingbiao... If you look at it with your eyes, it is better than a picture."
For Song Gaozong, there is also a record in the history books that "it is good to raise pigeons, and it flies by itself".
It is said that he kept more than 100 parrots in the palace, and one of the red parrots was especially fond of shouting "Long Live". ②
Most of the bird food jars used by Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou were official kilns made by Longquan Kiln.
Longquan Kiln is a famous kiln in Chinese history, and it is the sixth largest kiln mouth in Song Dynasty besides Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln and Ding Kiln.
It was founded in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty and ended in the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of producing porcelain for more than 1600 years and is the longest porcelain kiln system in the history of Chinese porcelain making.
Longquan kiln is famous for firing celadon. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the beauty of celadon glaze color and texture reached the peak in history, and it was known as artificial "sapphire".
A ceramic historian once praised: "Every piece of Longquan celadon in the Song Dynasty still fascinates us with its beauty."
It shows that the world praises and appreciates Longquan kiln celadon.
**
Yun Zhou took the pair of bird food jars and walked into the Treasure Pavilion.
On a scorching summer day, Zhenbao Pavilion looked very deserted, and at most one or two people could be seen every day.
Such a large store rarely has customers, and ordinary customers come just to look at it. Most of the business is maintained by big customers and old customers. It has truly fulfilled the saying "If you don't open for three years, you can eat for three years after opening." said.
Shopkeeper Wu was playing chess with Mr. Du when he saw Yun Zhou and greeted him, "Xiao Zhou is here."
"Uncle Wu, Grandpa Du." After he said hello, he didn't say much, and sat quietly by the side to watch the two play chess.
After 10 minutes, Mr. Du smiled and dropped a piece. Shopkeeper Wu said "Ouch" and said, "Oh, I lost again. Mr. Du, your chess skills are too superb. I feel ashamed of myself when I take one move and watch five moves. "
Old Man Du laughed: "It's an exaggeration. If I had this kind of ability, I would have become a Go master long ago, but I just played a lot and learned some skills."
He put away the pieces on the chessboard and turned to Yun Zhou, "Didn't you go to school, do you still have time to come?"
Yun Zhou smiled slightly: "Z University is in S City, not far away, I just go home on the weekend and have a look. Besides, Grandpa Du, you also need someone to accompany you."
What he said made old man Du feel ironic. It happened that there was a customer in the store, and shopkeeper Wu went to greet the customer, so the old man asked Yun Zhou to play chess with him.
He holds the white stones, and Yun Zhou holds the black stones.
Yunzhou learned Go from his father when he was in elementary school. He learned it for about half a year, and he took a few classes later, but he played less after junior high school. In the middle of the game, you lose the battle.
"Grandpa Du is superb at chess, I am ashamed of myself."
"How old are you, learn slowly in the future."
Grandpa Du won two games in a row and was in a good mood. Yun Zhou took the opportunity to put the bird food jar in his pocket on the chessboard he had cleaned up, "Grandpa Du, look, is this the blue-glazed bird food jar from the Longquan Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty?"
"Go shopping for antiques again? Bird food jars, this is rare in the antique market."
Mr. Du opened the glasses case at hand, took out a pair of reading glasses inlaid with gold rims, and held the pair of small and exquisite porcelain in his hand to examine them carefully.
This is a pair of bird food cans with a height of 3.3 cm and a bottom diameter of 2 cm. From the bottom, it has a flat circular arc abdomen that protrudes upwards, and at the top, it converges to form a round mouth with a diameter of 2.4 cm. The overall shape is like a flower. A budding lotus.
Its abdomen is also decorated with upturned lotus petal patterns, which are stacked layer by layer from the bottom. The petal ridges of the lotus are very clear, and the thin lines on it can be seen.The shoulder is equipped with an ear, which is equivalent to the handle of the cup, which can be picked up flexibly by hand.
The whole body of this pair of bird food jars is glazed with green glaze. The glaze color is bright and thick, moist and exquisite, and the color is stable.
The ring foot at the bottom is carefully repaired, the ring foot is very thin, and the shape is exquisite and exquisite. It is a very delicate bird food jar.
After careful observation for a long time, Mr. Du put down the bird food jar gently, and said with a smile: "Judging from the shape, glaze color and decoration, it is indeed the green glaze of Longquan Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty. This glaze color is also called 'plum green'. The color is like green plum, shiny and translucent, which is the unique color of Longquan kiln green glaze.
Xiaozhou, there are not many bird food cans like this on the market, where did you buy them? "
"This afternoon, my mother and I went to the flower and bird market to buy budgerigars, and there were such a pair of bird food jars hanging in the birdcage at the door.
The shopkeeper found it in a corner of his house. He saw that it matched the color of the parrot and put it in a cage. I just saw it and bought it. "
"Hey, that's it...? Uncle Wu is really envious of your luck, Xiao Zhou."
Shopkeeper Wu happened to hear it when he came over, and looked at him incredulously, "When you go out to buy a bird, you can find a pair of bird food jars from Longquan Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty!"
Then he shook his head and said, "That's right, who would want to go to the flower and bird market to find antiques? It can be regarded as another way. Sometimes luck can't stop it!"
Then he asked, "How much did you pay for those bird food cans?"
Yun Zhou smiled and said: "The price of the pair of parrots is 1000, plus the birdcage and other things, the total is 1500, and the pair of bird food cans are included in it."
Shopkeeper Wu immediately opened his mouth, tremblingly said: "That is to say, you didn't spend any money at all—"
Yun Zhou nodded belatedly, "It seems so."
Shopkeeper Wu showed shock, and murmured: "You just picked up another leak. You picked up three big leaks in two months. What level is this, what kind of luck?!"
He had never seen anyone so lucky.
If he has the ability, he will be able to open his own collection in a few years.
Mr. Du looked at Yunzhou with the same surprise in his eyes. His apprentice is simply possessed by a god and Buddha, and the good luck of others in his life is not as good as his.
"What are you going to do with the pair of bird food jars this time? Are you going to keep them for yourself or sell them?"
Yun Zhou thought for a while: "I don't plan to make a move right now, but if Grandpa Du or Uncle Wu want to collect it, I can give it to you."
What he said was the truth. These two people helped him a lot. If it weren't for the help of the two of them, he would definitely not be where he is now.
Mr. Du hurriedly waved his hands: "This is not acceptable.
Although the bird food jars of Longquan kiln are not as good as the blue and white bird food jars of Ming Xuande and clear pastels, the price is not low, and each one costs 20 to 30 yuan, not to mention that you are such a well-preserved pair.If you like it, you can easily sell it for 80 yuan. "
Shopkeeper Wu also added beside him: "Yes, don't underestimate this bird food jar. A small Tang Baiyu melon-shaped bird food jar once fetched a price of more than 1000 million yuan, which is definitely not inferior to other porcelain.
For example, the bird food jars of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty have been handed down to the present, and they are basically single: one is that some utensils hold bird food and water are not the same, some are tall, some are short; second, it is difficult to preserve .
After all, the Song Dynasty is at least six to seven hundred years from now, and many of them were broken or lost in the middle, and there are not many that can be made into a pair. "
Yun Zhou didn't expect the price to be so high. In this case, it's reasonable for the two of them not to accept it. Next time, give something else.
Seeing shopkeeper Wu staring at the pair of bird food cans, he felt a little bit of understanding: "Uncle Wu, otherwise, the pair of bird food cans should be placed in the Zhenbao Pavilion first."
"...Haha, thank you Xiaozhou. Don't worry, I won't sell it to others unless you agree." Shopkeeper Wu smiled happily. He has almost all types of porcelain here, except for a pair of bird food jars.
This pair of Longquan kiln celadon bird food jars with lotus petal pattern in the Southern Song Dynasty can be regarded as a small official kiln boutique in the store.
The days in summer are very long. When Yun Zhou walked out of the gate of Zhenbao Pavilion, the sun slanted westward. When he got home, it was time for dinner. He had to go back as soon as possible.
However, just after he walked out of the gate, the young man saw an unexpected visitor, and the clear eyes of the young man instantly turned cold.
Fu Yan looked at Yun Zhou with joy, his silent eyes burst into brilliant brilliance in an instant, like a hungry pedestrian seeing an oasis.
His shirt was crumpled, and sweat dripped down his temples. He was no longer as glamorous as a nobleman in the past. He didn't know how long he had been waiting in the sun.
It took a whole month for Fu Yan to recover from his last illness.
The pain of losing his beloved in the dream and the missing memory after waking up are intertwined. Every time he wakes up, he feels faintly that he seems to have forgotten something, and his heart is empty, as if a big piece is missing.
But his mind was always filled with the figure of a person, he couldn't see the face clearly, he only remembered the clean and bright smile of the young man, like a ray of light shining into his heart——
Fu Yan knew that he had to find him!Because he is his own salvation!
He tried his best to search for his memory, but his previous memories were all blurred, only a faint image of the boy he saw at the 'First Bank' last time remained, but unfortunately he couldn't recall it no matter what.
Fu Yan kept asking his father, and finally learned from the other party that the boy was called Yun Zhou.
Cloud boat!Yun Zhou——!
Yes, yes, yes, that's the name!
He was afraid that he would forget it again, so he frantically filled his notebook with the name, and whenever he had time, he would go to the antique market to stay, and he didn't care about anything.
Fu Jing felt that his son must be crazy.
He originally thought that Fu Yan's vision for antiques was the best among his peers, and he was usually calm in dealing with people, but he didn't expect to be so obsessed with a young man.
The most frightening thing is that he asked a private investigator to investigate the relationship between the two, and concluded that the two did not, have, interact, or meet at all. The last time they sold coins was the first time they met!
Crazy, Fu Yan is definitely crazy!
Thinking of the impotent words of the masters of metaphysics, Fu Jing closed his eyes helplessly. Perhaps he had to reconsider the candidate for the successor of the Fu family.
Yun Zhou didn't want to see Fu Yan at all, he pretended not to see Fu Yan and walked forward, but was blocked by the other party, so he had to stop where he was.
"Yunzhou, do you...remember me?" Fu Yan looked at the young man in front of him ecstatically, his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.
He quickly tidied up his shirt, trying to face his sweetheart with the best image, looking at the young man with extreme greed, he couldn't bear to move his eyes away.
"...You are?" Yun Zhou raised his head and asked, with a hint of doubt on his expression.
If it wasn't for keeping the secret of his rebirth, he would have kicked the person in front of him away.
"My name is Fu Yan. We met last time at the No. [-] Bank." Fu Yan's heart was cold, and the corner of his mouth was bitter. Doesn't the young man have any impression of him?
"Oh, so it's you." Yun Zhou's tone was flat, even a little impatient, "What's the matter, I'm going home."
"I—" Being treated with such indifference by the young man, Fu Yan seemed to have been splashed with cold water, the light in his eyes went out instantly, and he actually felt a chill in the scorching summer.
This chill spread all the way to my heart, and even that fiery heart froze together.
"...It's okay." Fu Yan said with difficulty. "May I ask your contact information? If you need anything in the future, you can always—"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yun Zhou, "I don't think it's necessary, goodbye."
"Don't go—" Fu Yan's heart tightened, and he wanted to reach out to grab the young man's wrist, but he retracted it reflexively the moment he touched him.
The little Yulong on Yunzhou's wrist had already straightened up and opened his mouth. Seeing the disappearance of the prey, he flicked his tail angrily.
Hmph, I hate it, I didn't even bite (〝▼皮▼).
"...don't go."
Fu Yan took two steps to stand in front of the other party, begging with desperate eyes, if not for the people coming and going around him, he would have knelt down to the other party, "Yunzhou, can you give me a chance?"
Yun Zhou frowned in disgust, "Mr. Fu, you must have mistaken someone."
Go find your Bai Yueguang quickly, and don't bother him anymore.
"...I swear that I never admit my mistake." Fu Yan looked at the boy with eyes full of seriousness and pain, and there was an inexplicable grievance in his eyes. Why didn't the boy believe him?
Yun Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to him, and quickly left sideways to hide in the turbulent crowd, leaving the other party staring at his back in a daze.
It wasn't until the boy's figure completely disappeared that Fu Yan slowly came back to his senses.
He looked at the vermilion plaque behind him - "Treasure Pavilion", and forced himself to calm down.
Perhaps, he can use other methods to please the boy.
**
After Yunzhou received Xu Ze's message, he came to the school at noon the next day.
Young Master Xu was sitting on the bed playing games in a depressed mood, with his long legs stretched out casually, his fingers moving quickly, and with the sound of explosions, he shot the enemy headshot without mercy.
When he saw Yun Zhou, he immediately put down his phone, and regardless of his teammates screaming that they were dying, he took out a red sandalwood box about [-] centimeters long and [-] or [-] centimeters high from the bottom of the closet, and carried it to the balcony with both hands.
Yun Zhou followed him and locked the door.
Seeing this, Hong Hai whispered to Xue Yifan: "Hey, did you see that box? It's made of carved rosewood, and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per box. I just don't know what precious things are in it. I really want to take a look." .”
Xue Yifan looked at his eager face, "Don't come up with any bad ideas, otherwise Young Master Xu won't be able to spare you."
"Of course I know that."
That's what Hong Hai said, he can't afford to offend First Young Master Xu, the last eavesdropping made the other party treat him coldly for a long time, and it wasn't until the last time everyone went to eat barbecue together that they eased up a little.
Xu Ze solemnly handed the red sandalwood box to Yun Zhou: "All the pieces are here, and one piece is not bad."
Yun Zhou sat on the bamboo stool on the balcony, carefully placed the box on his lap, supported it with one hand, and lifted the lid with the other.
On the soft velvet lining, there are only a dozen large and small fragments neatly placed inside. The glaze is delicate and the workmanship is exquisite. It is an enamel-colored jade pot and spring bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!
The official name of enamel-colored porcelain is "painting enamel on porcelain body", and it is a kind of porcelain decoration technique to paint patterns on the porcelain body with enamel color glaze, which was introduced from abroad.
In addition to export porcelain, enamel colored porcelain is only a treasure enshrined in the palace, and it is absolutely forbidden to flow out of the palace.Except for a small number of flawless treasures selected by the emperor, which can be kept in the palace for his enjoyment, all other defective products must be destroyed, and almost none of them can be seen by the people.
So the ones left behind are very precious, and all of them are worth tens of millions of dollars in the auction house.
Xu Ze followed Yun Zhou and squatted down. With his slender fingers, he simply spliced the pieces together into a complete piece of porcelain. Except for a few pieces that were relatively small, the pieces were not bad.
The two carefully put the porcelain pieces in the red sandalwood box, Xu Ze stood up, and looked at the young man with complicated eyes, "... Can that master really repair it?"
Yun Zhou carefully dragged the box in his hand, and looked at the other party seriously, "I guarantee it with my personality, it is absolutely possible."
He stroked the natural grain on the rosewood wood with his hands, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Then, you and Mr. Xu——
"
Xu Ze put his hands on the railing lazily, looking at the blue sky: "The old man is not at home, he is going to participate in an overseas auction, and he will do some cultural exchanges there, and he will not be back until at least half a month later .”
He stole these pieces of porcelain out of his grandfather's study, and no one was alarmed except the housekeeper knew about them.The butler watched him grow up and promised him that he would not tell anything.
Thinking that only he could enter that study room, and no one else could enter even the old man's own son, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
At such an old age, the old man still flies abroad to participate in auctions, and he has no one to accompany him except his secretary. Does he sometimes feel lonely?
When he comes back—
Forget it, let's just give in first.
Thinking of this, Xu Ze suddenly felt that it didn't seem so important who apologized first.
He looked sideways at the clear-eyed young man beside him, the sun had plated a layer of gold on his face, and even his slender eyelashes were clearly visible, like a thick small fan casting a layer of light shadow.
Those clear eyes seemed to reflect the sun, they were astonishingly beautiful, and at the same time warmed his heart.
This time... I really want to thank him.
Xu family.
After Xu Ze took the red sandalwood box away, the butler immediately called Mr. Xu.
"Master, the young master secretly took away the broken porcelain pieces. He probably wanted someone to repair them and return them to you 'undamaged' after the repairs are completed. His appearance is much more mature than before, and he no longer has the urge to leave when he first left. , you can rest assured."
Mr. Xu coughed twice with a smile, "I hope so. My grandson is good in everything, but his temper is too stubborn, exactly the same as when I was young."
The butler sighed, "Master, why didn't you tell the young master of your good intentions.
He broke your favorite jade pot and spring vase. If you don't punish him, the rest of the family will definitely make a fuss about it and ask you to revoke his right to be the heir. "
Mr. Xu smiled sarcastically, "I'm not blind yet. None of these people have A Ze's vision and temperament, and they are all idle. It would be a disaster if the business was handed over to them."
"As for Aze," Mr. Xu said after a moment of silence, "There are some things...he has to figure it out on his own. I can't accompany him and give him advice all my life."
Butler: "I hope the young master can grow up as soon as possible, and you can relax."
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "There will be such a day."
