Chapter 450 Baby
"Xu Yaguang?"
Zhang Can is very accustomed to being a great person. Although he is already the number one figure in the antique industry, he has just arrived in Jincheng and has just arrived in Beijing. He is not familiar with the antique industry in Beijing. Because he is not very enthusiastic about his career and has few things to show off, so there are actually not many people who know him.
"In the antique world in Beijing, the Xu family is considered a noble family, with strong connections and economic strength!"
While explaining to Zhang Can, Old Wu checked the big box that Zhang Can brought back. He was surprised by the word "Xu" on the box. He stared at it for a while before saying: "The word "Xu" on this box is obviously not a pattern made by the merchant who made the box on each box. The font on it can be seen. It was added later, and it did not match the color and shape of the box. Generally speaking, as a manufacturer, unless the font size of the house is particularly hard, he usually does not use the surname as a brand. Moreover, the word "Xu" on this box is written very grassy, just like a temporary word added!"
Zhang Can did not tell Lao Wu, his father and brother what was in the box. They didn't know that they had special abilities, so they still needed to hide them.
Of course, Old Wu didn't know what was in the box, nor did he know what Zhang Can meant to get back from such a box. He just tried the box with his eyes.
The box is locked with an old-fashioned copper-tin buckle and old-fashioned lock. Zhang Can naturally not find the key to unlock the lock. He turned his head to his brother Zhang Jiye and said, "Brother, find some tools to unlock this lock!"
Zhang Jiye immediately went to get a wire driver, a small wire saw and other tools. Zhang Can took it over and took the copper buckle of the wire saw. Because he knew what was inside and where it was, he was very careful. In addition, the copper buckle of the wire saw was very effective. After a few minutes, the copper buckle was sawed off. Under Zhang Can's perspective, there was no damage to the utensils in the box.
Old Wu kept staring at Zhang Can unlock it. After the box was opened, there was another layer of sealed oil glue inside, which was sealed with hot paint, which was impermeable and very tight. This was excellent waterproof, so I was surprised that the outside of the box was also a wax seal. After opening the box, there was no water in it. The glue seal inside was still there. The waterproofing was so tight that it seemed that the things hidden inside were not simple.
Zhang Can cut the rubber seal with a knife, and there were three layers of heat-sealed rubber layers inside. After it was completely opened, the things in the box were immediately revealed, two porcelain bottles nestled with brocade and a light yellow scroll.
When Lao Wu saw these three things, his eyes were stagnant and his expression suddenly became nervous. Although the two porcelain bottles were just a glance on the surface, Lao Wu could see that these blue and white porcelain bottles were made of extremely high-quality glaze and fancy styles. Such blue and white porcelain with high-quality color could be made of fakes with high-tech equipment until now. However, looking at the style of the box, the sealing layer, and the water immersion traces on the surface of the box, all of these showed that the box had been soaked in the water for at least fifty years. If it were fifty years ago, it would not be able to make such a lustful fake at that time. So Lao Wu could almost certain that these two blue and white porcelain were genuine.
It’s just that after careful inspection, the exact year of blue and white vases cannot be determined. However, although the year of these two blue and white vases cannot be confirmed, Lao Wu is sure that each of these two blue and white vases can be worth at least more than 5 million yuan. I don’t know where Zhang Can got back from such two good things.
Of course, Lao Wu had not forgotten another scroll. The outside of the scroll was sealed with gelatin, but when he looked inside the gelatin, the color of the scroll, the paint seal, and the color of the scroll all made his heart tremble. Maybe it was another precious calligraphy and painting cultural relic.
Zhang Can naturally know what it was, but he naturally couldn't say it casually. He just carefully opened the paint seal and gently opened the scroll. Because it was sealed for a long time, after the scroll was opened, a scent of sandalwood was immediately emitted.
“Sandalwood!”
Old Wu couldn't help but say that the handle of the scroll was made of extremely precious rafters. I guess the scroll was also extremely precious, but I don't know whether it was calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, or something else. Everything can only be known after Zhang Can opened it.
However, even if this thing is not worth it, it is worth it with those two blue and white porcelains. Although Lao Wu didn't know how much Zhang Can spent to get these things back, he also understood that he almost never did that with Zhang Can's way of doing things and using equal value. In the past, he saw him picking up bargains on Taobao, he got it at a very small price, and then got ten times, even dozens or hundreds of times, excess returns.
Besides, judging from the fact that the box has not been opened, Zhang Can definitely didn't cost any money to get the box. No one would sell the thing without knowing it.
Zhang Can held the scroll in his hand, slowly opened it, and then placed it on the table. In the clear sandalwood, Lao Wu stared at the scroll, his expression was stunned, and his fingers trembled!
This scroll is made of excellent yellow satin, with extremely exquisite stitching of the edges. The satin is decorated with yellow edges, and the satin is a number of dragon and phoenix figures. From this point of view, this item is extremely precious.
Let’s look at the center of the scroll. There are countless brush regular scripts on it, and every word is strong and the silk quilt is covered. Most of the characters on the scroll are traditional Chinese. Zhang Can can still recognize many of these characters, but Zhang Guonian and Zhang Jiye do not recognize much.
In the Zhang family, Zhang Guonian was basically illiterate, while Zhang Jiye was the eldest. At that time, his family was poor, stupid, and he didn't like to study. He only had elementary school education. He didn't know the words on this scroll.
Lao Wu could see clearly that there were two words in the middle of the scroll: "Imperial Imperial"!
Just by these two words, Lao Wu became hot all over and felt a little uncomfortable!
Look at the following, these regular and traditional Chinese are not difficult for Lao Wu. You can see clearly: "The General Fuyuan Nian Gengyao quelled the Qinghai rebellion and led all the troops to face the wind and snow. The Western Regions are traversing thousands of miles away, plowing the courtyard and sweeping the caves, and invincible in the battle. I promoted my reputation as the Qing Dynasty, and was specially promoted to the first-class duke, and was given the title of Taifu, and the eldest son Bin was one viscount. I was honored. I was the tenth day of the third year of Yongzheng!"
When Lao Wu saw this, he couldn't help but tremble even more, and he couldn't even speak!
Of course, Zhang Guonian and Zhang Jiye and his son didn't know what this thing was and couldn't read. However, the characters on yellow silk and satin looked pretty and the patterns were also beautiful. No matter how hard people in rural areas didn't understand it, they knew that the dragon and phoenix patterns were good intentions, and the dragon and phoenix showed good luck.
"Zhang Can, where did you get it from...get this thing?"
Old Wu really couldn't even say anything clearly, so he stared at Zhang Can and asked.
Zhang Can's expression was very calm. He had known what was in the box, so he didn't feel any surprises. Besides, he didn't lack this money, so he didn't lack this surprise.
"No one saw what I picked up from the river. I thought it would contain something that might be valuable, so I pulled it back!"
Zhang Can replied with a faint smile, really didn't care much.
“Picked from the river?”
Old Wu almost fainted. He had been in antique industry for decades and had never seen any luck as Zhang Can. He had seen him pick up bargains many times before and got treasures that cost many times. He was indeed shocked. For Zhang Can, it seemed that getting good things has become a normal thing!
"Zhang Can, do you know what this is?"
After a few breaths, Old Wu asked Zhang Can in a deep voice, but when he saw Zhang Can's expression that was not very excited, he knew that he was not excited. If he wanted to say something, with Zhang Can's eyes, he must have known this thing!
"What is this? Is it very valuable to write on silk? But it still smells very fragrant. Are those two small bottles valuable?"
Seeing that Lao Wu was a little excited, Zhang Jiye couldn't help asking. In his heart, he still had a better eye than his younger brother Zhang Can.
Old Wu laughed silently and stopped before answering: "Big nephew, this thing...this thing... if you measure it with money, I don't know what to say. This silk is not an ordinary silk. This is the imperial edict given to Emperor Yongzheng to reward the general Nian Gengyao to quell the rebellion!"
"Imperial Order?"
Zhang Jiye and Zhang Guonian were both shocked!
There is no culture anymore. Even rural people know what the imperial edict is. Not to mention anything else, I have watched a lot of ancient costume TV series. The eunuch without beard holds a whisk, holds the imperial edict in his hand, and calls out "The imperial edict is here, and the emperor's edict says..." and so on. The imperial edict in his hand looks like this!
"Imperial Order?"
Zhang Jiye and Zhang Guonian and his son couldn't help asking again. It was not because of their distrust of Old Wu, but because they felt it was a bit incredible. Although Zhang Can had obtained a priceless night pearl before, it was another kind of shock to get the emperor's imperial edict. After all, that night pearl was a distant thing in the legend, but the imperial edict felt it was a bit real.
"By the way, it's the imperial edict!"
While holding the imperial edict, Old Wu exclaimed again, "Tsk tsk tsk, this... priceless treasure, priceless treasure!"
After saying a few priceless treasures in a row, Zhang Guonian and Zhang Jiye and his son felt that this thing was really valuable.
"There are many emperors and dynasties in history, and there are many imperial edicts that have been passed down, but not many have great collection value and special significance. In any major historical events, the imperial edicts issued by the emperor for those major events have special significance!"
Old Wu sighed, and then identified the two blue and white vases for a while, and couldn't help but sigh again. This expression made Zhang Guonian and Zhang Jiye and his son think that things were worthless.
"Uncle Wu, is this... this bottle worthless?"
Zhang Jiye asked carefully.
"Isn't it worth it?" Old Wu was stunned and shook his head and said, "These two bottles are real Yuan blue and white porcelain. Because the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain has very few existences, the Yuan blue and white porcelain has a huge shape, thick fetus, weight, and magnificent momentum, which has the meaning of the Mongols' kung fu and heroic personality. In modern times, only a pair of blue and white elephant ear bottles were born. As early as 1938, the ear bottles of this object were sold abroad by overseas Chinese. Due to the bottleneck, there was Jingtang Society, Dejiaoli, Shuncheng Township, Yushan County, Xinzhou Road, and the disciple Zhang Wenjin, who was a disciple of the saint, was selected to be happy.
Incense burner, a pair of vases, praying for the good family and safety of children. In April of the 11th year of Zhizheng, remember the good times’ inscriptions. Among them, the 135 year of Zhizheng, refer to the 135 year of AD, so this pair of large bottles has become the most important basis for Yuan blue and white. So far, only one pair of such large bottles has been found. Any books studying Yuan blue and white will mention it. Because of its research results, the prices of Yuan blue and white have soared, becoming the dream of collectors!”
Zhang Guonian and Zhang Jiye and his son were all over the top of their heads. They didn't know what the allusions said by Lao Wu were. The thing they were most concerned about was whether the bottles were worth it.
